"Yuan Chen, what do you mean when you say that your brother-in-law invited me here? You don't really mean to do anything to me, my father-in-law, Old Taishan."

On the official road leading from Quanzhou City to Governor Yue Su's residence, a carriage came slowly. Next to the carriage, there were more than 300 people following the carriage, including guards, servants, maids, mothers-in-law, etc.

The two people sitting in the carriage were Li Wenzhang and his son. After receiving Yue Su's letter, Li Wenzhang hurried to Fujian. However, along the way, he was inevitably a little worried. He was worried that his son-in-law would do something to him.

That sentence, never do anything wrong in your life, knock on the door in the middle of the night without being alarmed. Li Wenzhang had no intention of rebelling at first, so he didn't panic much, but now he has the intention of rebelling, and he still buys a lot in Huguang and Guangxi.

Ordnance, armor, even though Yue Su asked him to confront him about gathering a crowd to fight with weapons, there is no guarantee that he might have discovered some other clues.

Li Yuanchen was much calmer than me. He said with a smile: "Father, you don't have to worry. My child thinks that my brother-in-law will never make things difficult for you. My child knows my brother-in-law quite well. My brother-in-law is loyal to the court. There is no doubt about it, but

After all, you are his father-in-law and he did not invite you here. The boy thought that he really wanted to make things worse. After hearing his father's explanation, he gave up on the matter in Zhangzhou. It was considered unlucky for us and let him catch up.

Li Yuchun brought so many people with him. How could he not become suspicious after seeing it? He must have thought that our family was raising a sergeant with evil intentions, but it was just an intention without any real evidence. The charge of rebellion was too big. How could he dare to go to his husband?

When you see him, you don't have to hide anything. Just tell him directly about the entrustment from the Spanish. Our Li family has endless money and has one or two thousand guards. What does coolie mean?

This time you were too arrogant and bowed your head to him, what else could he do?"

Li Yuanchen's words were indeed thorough, and he saw Yue Su's plan clearly. Li Wenzhang thought about it in his heart, and thought that it was the same. After all, Yue Su was his son-in-law. This matter was not about killing Chinese people, but about barbarians.

, it’s not a fault except that you have more people, but you have a lot of money, so what can you do? There is no definite evidence of rebellion. You have the nerve to send your father-in-law to the guillotine.

Li Wenzhang finally let go, closed his eyes, and gathered his nerves. In the evening, the guard of honor finally came to Yue Su's governor's palace and sent someone to announce his name. After Yue Su got the notice, he immediately went out to greet his father-in-law.

Please enter the Chinese army's tent with your brother-in-law

A servant brought tea, and the three of them chatted for a while before Yue Su got down to the topic and talked about the weapon fighting in the Zhangzhou play.

Li Wenzhang made no secret and apologized, "Sir, this matter was indeed done by the old man. He was bewitched by the Spaniards at that time, so he did such a stupid thing. However, the old man did not forget the laws of the court, just because of the other party."

We are not from the Ming Dynasty, these barbarians are plundering everywhere, but they are also worthy of death. They gather people to fight with each other. I am willing to bear the responsibility."

If he was clever and stingy in front of Yue Su, Yue Su would definitely have a heated argument with him, which would inevitably lead to a heavier punishment in the end. But he just surrendered and confessed frankly, which made it difficult for Yue Su to say anything, especially since he was not called Xian.

Xu, directly address Yue Su as your lord.

Yue Su smiled slightly and said: "My father-in-law, your words are serious, but the English are not Jurchens after all, so killing like this is not appropriate. Also, my father-in-law, my son-in-law saw that Li Yuchun brought a lot of things to fight with."

Sir, are there so many people who are the disciples of my father-in-law?"

"It is true that the financial resources of Lao Chen's family are known to me. I dare not say that they are as rich as the enemy, but they can also be regarded as the richest party. After all, such a large amount of money needs someone to take care of it. Nowadays, everything is in chaos. I am here

Doing business everywhere and escorting goods also requires a lot of people. Just like the old man doing business with the Spaniards on Taiwan Island. If I don't send more people to be just in case, God knows if they will bite back and those others.

Englishmen, although I am the one who robbed them this time, if I have fewer people and he has more people, there is no question whether these people will rob me. Your Excellency has been in the Ming Dynasty for a long time.

I don't know, but I know that the goods in the hands of the English people were actually robbed in a country called India. They looted everywhere. The old man used violence to fight violence. He did do something wrong. Sir, if

If you must be convicted according to the law, this old man will not bear grudges, sir. "Li Wenzhang is really a bachelor. Since you, Yue Su, asked, I will answer like this. Anyway, I have money to support people. You are also my son-in-law no matter how you say it, as long as I don't pull the flag."

I don't believe you rebelled. You really chopped me off.

Yue Su also didn't expect his father-in-law to be so down-to-earth and straightforward about everything, but what he said makes sense. Even if he has money to support his family, if he robs him, he will rob him. Yue Su pondered for a moment and said: "Master Yue-in-law, as you say,

Have you now confessed to this case and are you willing to be punished by the court's laws?"

"Yes!" Li Wenzhang nodded solemnly and said

"Then the sentence will be pronounced now, my son-in-law!" Yue Su said, then looked at the father-in-law with a fixed gaze.

Li Wenzhang acted even more bachelorly. He simply stood up, dropped his clothes, and knelt down on the ground to "listen to the verdict."

It was not the first time for Yue Su that his father-in-law knelt down on his son-in-law, but Yue Su felt very embarrassed every time. Originally, he had not planned to ask Li Wenzhang to kneel down, but Li Wenzhang was a little too self-conscious, which made him really unable to do so.

Fortunately, there was no one else in the tent, but as soon as Li Wenzhang knelt down, Li Yuanchen actually stood up and knelt down next to his father. This was a bit of a coercion.

Mr. Yue is a man who has seen big scenes after all. He cannot show his timidity at this moment. No matter how embarrassing it is, he has to get the matter settled before talking about it. He straightened his clothes and said loudly: "Li Wenzhang ordered his men to gather a crowd to fight with weapons. He has now confessed."

, according to the court regulations, he should have been punished by beheading. However, the person who fought with Li Wenzhang was a foreigner from overseas, not a citizen of our Ming Dynasty, so he was demoted and exiled to Yunnan for three years. He was fined 500,000 taels of silver and turned it over.

The remaining criminals from the treasury will, depending on the seriousness of the case, be exiled to Yunnan together, or be punished with eighty sticks!"

The father-in-law was exiled to Yunnan. Now, the three father-in-laws came together to fight against the landlord. It was not bad. The reason why Yue Su was sentenced in this way was also considered. Li Wenzhang was really a big influence, especially in

At this juncture, the proliferation of nursery rhymes is too fast. Perhaps in Yunnan, it is actually a kind of protection. You can always calm down and don't have any crooked ideas of becoming an emperor. Of course, you always have no such intention from the beginning, then

It is best that the climate in Yunnan is good and suitable for retirement. At the Duke of Guizhou, you can eat, drink, catch fish and chat for a long time. Five hundred thousand taels of silver were given to the court. When the Queen Mother saw this money,

I won’t say anything, and besides, didn’t you just say that, even if you are not as rich as the rest of the country, you are still as rich as any other, so don’t be short of these two sons. Everyone will be happy, wouldn’t it be better?

His sentence was really unexpected to Li Wenzhang. At first, he thought that he might just get it, but in the end he was still sentenced. Although being sent to Yunnan was not a heavy sentence, and five hundred thousand taels of silver was nothing to the old guy, but he went

After Yunnan, how can we pursue great causes?

Li Yuanchen was really better than his master. After hearing Yue Su's punishment, he immediately understood what Yue Su meant. He said secretly in his heart: "Brother-in-law, brother-in-law, you have really good intentions. You are afraid that my father will take advantage of the troubled times to rebel."

"My heart, I sent him to Yunnan for retirement a long time ago. It's really clever... Why didn't I see it before..."

This solution was something that Yue Su had been thinking about for the past two days. The reason was that the nursery rhyme "The beauty dies, the chaos will end, the eighteen sons, the main artifact" was spread too much. He didn't want his family to be involved in this bastard.

Water, why don't we just come up with a solution that's acceptable on the surface once and for all?

"Thank you, sir..." Li Wenzhang was unwilling to accept it, but he still responded. The most annoying thing was that he immediately rushed to kowtow, which was also to vent his dissatisfaction.

At this time, Yue Su had already stood up, put aside the table, walked forward, helped Li Wenzhang up and said: "Master Yue-in-law, my son-in-law just offended me, I hope Taishan won't mind."

Li Wenzhang doesn't mind, but at this time, what can he say? Could he really go to the Qi Shijiao group in Beijing to help him appeal? In this way, the matter will become bigger, and he has secretly raised so many private soldiers.

, maybe I really can’t explain it clearly. If anything happens, we’ll talk about it later.

Although he did not convict in front of many people, Yue Su only said it in the military tent in the governor's quarters. Naturally, he only made a few oral confessions and made up for it later. Of course, he also had to hand over the confession to the capital and wait for the confession.

After arriving in Beijing, Empress Dowager Zhang looked at it and said only one sentence, "Yue Su's impartiality is rare in the world. He didn't report this kind of case, and the Ai family didn't know. It seems that he was really wronged. Next time

According to the decree, half of the confiscated five hundred thousand taels of silver will be transferred to Fujian to rebuild the navy."

Zhang Yan's performance after seeing the memorial was a matter of course, but it can also be seen that her impression of Yue Su has improved a lot. Even though Mr. Yue is not short of the two hundred and fifty thousand taels of silver, this twenty-five thousand taels of silver is not enough.

Fifty thousand silver can be regarded as a signal

After the sentence of his father-in-law was finished, Yue Su held a banquet at the governor's palace to welcome his father-in-law and brother-in-law. Li Qiongying must be there to accompany her, but she still doesn't know about her husband and father. During the banquet, Yue Su and the three of them also

Didn't mention it, just chatted and laughed, seemed harmonious

While he was drinking, Jin Chan suddenly ran to the door, bowed and said, "Master Qi, something big has happened!"

"What's the matter?" Upon hearing this, Yue Su was surprised and asked quickly
