Seeing Chen Qiudao come in, Chen Yuyi said: "Sit down for consultation."

Tea was served. Chen Yuyi invited tea. He then said: "Xiu Mu, please invite the counselor to come today. The reason is because Xiangyang Mansion is involved in gambling, which involves the counselor."

Chen Qiudao said: "Zheng Yiren, a cadre in my house, was greedy for profit and teamed up with others to run a gambling boat. Today, Yao Shuanping came to my home and took Zheng Yiren and others away. I asked clearly and found out that this matter is true and there is no doubt about it.

"

Chen Yuyi said: "Not long ago, an official document was sent from Xiangyang Prefecture, talking about this matter. The case is not complicated, most of the people caught have been arrested, and the story is clear. The trouble is, several people from the government are involved.

There is Zhou Ming in the Xiangyang Inspection Department, three officials in Xiangyang County, one official in Xiangyang Prefecture, and another one is Zheng Yiren. According to regulations, officials involved in such cases must be severely punished, and officials must be severely punished. The trouble now is the counselor

What should we do with Zheng Yiren in the mansion? After a while, Yao Shuanping and Gong Lushi will come here with Yu Tongpan, and we will discuss it."

Chen Qiudao said: "I asked clearly. Only Zheng Yiren and a few people in my family were involved. Fortunately, my sons were not involved. The Xiangyang Prefecture can just decide the case in accordance with the law, and there is no need to look at my face!"

Chen Yuyi said: "This matter is not that simple. According to the rules set by the commander-in-chief, if someone in the family breaks the law, the officials must be jointly and severally liable. Zheng Yiren is the director of the councilor's family. They live together and share wealth, which has affected you. According to everyone's confession,

, the counselor really doesn’t know. We must carefully weigh what to do. This matter is not something I can handle alone, it needs to be discussed by everyone."

Chen Qiudao nodded and said nothing.

Now I feel that the rules set by Wang Xiaolie are too strict. As long as a family member breaks the law, the officials will be implicated. Of course, they are just implicated and the punishment is not severe. But for the officials, they suddenly have no power in their hands, and many

Things are hard to say.

Not long after, Xiangyang general magistrate Yu Cheng arrived with Yao Hua, a signer of signatures, and Gongli, a Lushi officer who joined the army. Everyone saw the ceremony and sat down.

Chen Yuyi said: "Everyone knows what happened. Last night, a factory owner named Xu Qi was lured to a Hanshui gambling boat and lost three thousand guan. He only brought 100 guan in cash and wrote down an IOU. Today

In the morning, the gambling boat sent two people to follow Xu Qi home, hoping that he would come up with the money. Unexpectedly, Xu Qi didn't take the money, but went to the inspection department and complained that someone was gambling on the Han River. The case is very clear

, there is no doubt. Yao signed the verdict, how should this case be decided according to the law?"

Yao Huadao: "Our laws in Xiangyang have been revised and are slightly different from those of the imperial court. According to the law, every bet of less than ten characters is considered entertainment, not gambling. Every bet of more than ten characters is treated as gambling. Every bet

Those who make more than one hundred words will be severely punished in accordance with the law. Those who make more than one note per bet will be severely punished in accordance with the law. Officials involved will be severely punished. Officials involved will be severely punished. The amount in this case is particularly huge, and each bet is more than five notes. Severe punishment will be given again.

Severe punishment, the crimes these people have committed have come to an end. The leader will be punished according to the law!"

Yu Chengdao: "There is nothing difficult about how to resolve the case, just follow the law. The trouble now is that Zheng Yiren is the person responsible for handling the case. If we don't handle it well and involve the counselor, things will be in trouble."

Chen Yuyi nodded: "After asking around, it turns out that Councilor Chen has nothing to do with this matter. But Zheng Yiren is a servant who lives with Councilor Chen's family and shares wealth. According to the law, the Councilor will be implicated. We have to find a safe way."

Several people nodded, lowering their heads in thought.

Chen Qiudao suddenly remembered that among the officials who established the envoys, except for himself, Chen Yuyi, Wang Ruohai, and even Wang Xiaolie, there were no servants who lived together and shared wealth. Only he had one. In the past, he only thought that they were all small families.

Now that I think about it, I'm afraid there are other reasons.

Living together and sharing property is a special relationship. It is usually between relatives. For example, in the Song Dynasty, brothers were required to live together and share property regardless of their ancestors. Of course, couples also lived together and shared property. In addition, some servants did not have their own families.

They live together with the host family and share property.

The official standards set by Wang Xiaolie, whether it is to avoid the law or because a family member is implicated in a crime, the standard is to live together and share property, not kinship. Chen Qiudao didn't care about this before, but he didn't expect that he would be caught in the crossfire this time.

Seeing that everyone was silent, Gong Li said: "Should I report this matter to Commander-in-Chief first?"

Chen Yuyi smiled bitterly: "We haven't come up with a perfect solution, how can we report the commander-in-chief? How can we not embarrass the commander-in-chief?"

Gong Li understood immediately after hearing this. It wasn't that these people didn't think of this, but that they thought more profoundly than himself. The rules were set by Wang Xiaolie, but this time Chen Qiudao was innocently implicated, how to deal with it? As a system envoy

Councilor Si, it would be ridiculous to resign because of such a trivial matter. But the rules have been set, so how can Wang Xiaolie ignore it? This problem needs to be solved by the people below.

While several people were thinking hard, a soldier came in and said: "Commander Jun has decreed that we invite several officials to the official hall to discuss matters."

Chen Yuyi looked at Chen Qiudao and stood up, feeling something was wrong in his heart.

When I arrived at the official hall, I saw Wang Xiaolie sitting behind the case. He said to several people: "It's rare to get together today. You can sit down."

Several people sat down and looked at Wang Xiaolie. Seeing his calm expression, they felt relieved.

Wang Xiaoxing said: "It's already autumn. I just sent someone to Xiangyang Mansion to ask Yu Tongpan to ask about the rice harvest. Only then did I know that Yu Tongpan came to the Zhizhi Envoy with the signatures and records.

After asking again, I found out that there was a gambling case yesterday."

Yu Cheng stood up and saluted. He said, "Come back, Commander, yesterday there were people gambling on the Hanshui River Boat. The criminal has been arrested and brought to justice."

Wang Xiaolie said: "I remember the law is very clear about the crime of gambling. Is there any difficulty for you guys to come together to the Zhizhishi?"

Yu Cheng glanced at Chen Qiudao aside. He cupped his hands and said, "One of the people who are cooperating in running a gambling boat is a slave of Councilor Chen's family——"

"Oh——" Wang Xiaolie looked at Chen Qiu and said, "What, is Counselor Chen involved in this case?"

Yu Cheng waved his hands hastily: "No. We asked clearly about this matter, and Counselor Chen did not know about it. He was just a cadre who participated in it through the name of the Chen family. Counselor Chen knew about this, so he took the cadre away.

There is no hindrance.”

Wang Xiaolie said: "We have already taken it, and Councilor Chen has no objections. What other difficulties are there in this case? We need you to discuss it together!"

Yu Cheng thought about his words before saying: "This officer has been by Councilor Chen's side for many years. He is responsible for many things in the Chen family. After taking him away, I'm afraid there will be some trouble in the Chen family -"

Wang Xiaolie looked at Yu Cheng, then at everyone, his face slowly darkened, and said: "What on earth is going on? Just tell me!"

Yu Chengdao: "Returning to the commander-in-chief, this officer lives in Councilor Chen's home. According to the law, they live together and share property, and there is no separate household. If we take him away, Councilor Chen will be implicated. We have clearly investigated the case, and Councilor Chen is indeed not involved.

Among them, it is difficult to handle. We have gathered together to discuss and are weighing."

"What are you weighing?" Wang Xiaolie stood up abruptly. "Why doesn't the weighing involve Chen Qiudao? I set the rules for you to weigh in private? You can weigh in, so why should you follow the rules! What should I do? I can't do it.

, I want you to weigh it!"
