Chapter 84 Begging for mercy

Yang Yishan's study room.9vk. first released

At this moment, two people were sitting in the study room. The one sitting behind the desk was Yang Yishan who was going to "offer incense". The other one was his brother-in-law Xiong Zhaogui.

"Zhongyue, Mr. Bai came to see me, but why did you turn your back and say you went outside the city to offer incense?" Xiong Zhaogui said with some confusion.

Xiong Tingbi asked himself to become an official, but he did not return to his hometown immediately. Instead, he went to Beijing first to get together with his daughter and son-in-law. He originally planned to stay for a few days and then leave, but Yang Yishan and Xiong Hu repeatedly asked to stay, so they stayed temporarily.

Exit. Dad stays here. Of course, Xiong Zhaogui cannot leave, so he will stay with him.

"Brother, you should have heard the rumors on the street today. It is said that my mentor went to Zhangjiakou and took away the Shanxi merchants who transported military supplies. He also took away the Governor of Xuanda and the generals of Xuanfu and Zhangjiakou. Cui Jinrong

Bai Yu's matter probably doesn't involve Bai Yu, but it's hard to talk about the Shanxi merchants. The Shanxi merchants gave gifts to many people in the capital, and even visited my door, but I kicked them out. Now the Shanxi merchants

If the military supplies of the merchants were captured by the mentor, they must be interrogated in detail. Anyone who has received money from Shanxi merchants must be pulled out to back them up. It can be said that there is no one in Beijing who has anything to do with Shanxi merchants at the moment.

I feel restless. Although I don’t know what kind of relationship Bai Yu has with Shanxi merchants and whether he has received money from others, I am sure that everyone who came to the door today will be involved. If they find it, they will definitely invite me to come to the teacher to help him.

They begged for mercy. You don't know the character of your mentor, how could I be involved in such a thing." Yang Yishan spoke eloquently, explaining the reason why he closed his doors to thank guests.

After listening to his words, Xiong Zhaogui nodded and said: "You are right, you really shouldn't get involved in this muddy water. It's hard to deal with them when you see them, so it's better not to see them at all."

"Exactly." Yang Yishan nodded and smiled slightly.

"Master Yue, there is someone outside the door asking for an audience."

Late at night, at the governor's office in Zhangjiakou, Yue Su was finishing dinner with Wu Sinan, Jiang Jie and others. At this moment, Wu Ping ran in with an envelope.

"Oh?" Upon hearing this, Yue Su raised his eyebrows and thought to himself: "It seems that there is really such a person behind Shanxi merchants. I don't know who he is. Do I know him?"

"Bring it to me and see." Yue Su said, extending his palm.

Wu Ping hurriedly took a few steps forward and handed the name card to Yue Su. Yue Su took it and took a look. The name card was really interesting. It was actually contained in an envelope, and the opening of the envelope was actually sealed with wax.

Yue Su tore open the envelope, took out the name card, unfolded it, and saw that the name on it was "Bai Yu."

"Why is it him?" Yue Su took a breath when he saw the name 'Bai Yu'.

Both Jiang Jie and Wu Sinan could see clearly. From Master Yue's expression, it was not difficult to guess that the person coming was unusual.&*.《》.fastest update** However, neither of them asked, just

I murmured in my heart, who could make Mr. Yue do this?

Yue Su paused for a moment and said, "Invite him in and serve tea in the side hall."

"Yes, sir." Wu Ping responded and ran out quickly.

Yue Su did not move his position, closed the name card, put it on the dining table, picked up the chopsticks again, and continued eating. He did not eat very fast, and was not in a hurry to meet the guests. Neither Jiang Jie nor Wu Sinan asked any questions.

, they understood that if Mr. Yue wanted them to know, he would have told them long ago and there was no need to wait for them to ask.

After finally finishing a bowl of rice, Yue Su took two more mouthfuls of soup and then said, "Mr. Jiang, take a look at this famous post."

Jiang Jie took the name card, unfolded it and saw the name "Bai Yu", and couldn't help but take a breath.

"Do you understand?" Yue Su asked calmly.

"I understand." Jiang Jie replied.

"I'll go see him by myself later. Sir, you go to the study and wait for me. Taixie, you also go to the study and wait for me." After saying that, Yue Su stood up and said: "Jin Chan, Tie Qiu, you two follow me.

I'll come."

Taixie is Wu Sinan's character.

"Yes..." Jiang Jie and Wu Sinan stood up and responded.

Yue Su took Jin Chan and Tie Qiu out of the hall and headed to the side hall. Bai Yu had already arrived in the hall, but he actually had a bamboo hat on his head, and his head was still hanging down, as if he was afraid of being seen.

When Yue Su arrived at the door, he ordered Wu Ping and a guard who were standing at the door to retreat, leaving Jin Chan and Tie Qiu to guard the door before he walked in.

When Bai Yu heard Yue Su's voice outside the hall, he quickly stood up, took off his bamboo hat, bowed and said, "I'm here to see you, sir."

"Master Bai, you're welcome. Sit down quickly." Yue Su said as he walked to the main seat. After he sat down, Bai Yu dared to sit down.

"Sir Bai, why did you come all the way to Zhangjiakou?" Yue Su then said in a feigned surprise.

"Sir..." Bai Yu suddenly stood up, then knelt down on the ground, tears immediately flowed out, and cried: "Xiaoguan deserves to die..."

"You...Master Bai, what do you mean? Get up quickly." Yue Su said still in surprise.

Bai Yu did not get up, but continued to cry: "Sir, the lower official deserves to die... the lower official deserves to die..." This time he not only cried, but started kowtowing again.

"Master Bai...at your age...how can I bear such a great gift? Get up, get up..." Yue Su said this, but he made no intention of getting up to help Bai Yu. He knew in his heart,

Bai Yu's arrival must have been because of this case. However, Yue Su just asked him to get up without asking why.

Seeing that Yue Su didn't ask, Bai Yu had been an official for most of his life. Of course, he understood that Yue Su had seen his intention and didn't ask. If Yue Su didn't ask, Bai Yu didn't dare to tell the truth.

, had no choice but to keep kowtowing, while kowtowing, crying, "Xiaguan deserves to die...Xiaguan deserves to die...Xiaguan deserves to die..."

"Master Bai, get up quickly. What's wrong with you? If you have any grievances, just tell me, I will make the decision for you. If you keep doing this, how can I bear it?" Yue Sujian

It was almost done, so he said this.

"I am not wronged. I have committed a heinous crime. I am ashamed of you..." Bai Yu cried and said.

"You have always been fair and your official reputation has always been good. Why did you commit such a heinous crime?" Yue Su asked pretending to be puzzled.

"To be honest, I heard that your Excellency captured a batch of merchants in Zhangjiakou who were exporting military supplies for the S.P.A.... Xianguan deserves to die..." At this point, Bai Yu burst into tears.

"That's true. I have indeed captured a group of businessmen in Zhangjiakou who were smuggling military supplies. Mr. Bai, doesn't this matter have anything to do with you? Could it be that you ordered them to sell these military supplies?"

Yue Su asked deliberately.

"No, no... How can I have the courage... They sell military supplies... I really don't know..." Bai Yu cried.

"Since Mr. Bai doesn't know, then why is he guilty?" Yue Su said calmly.

"It's just...it's just that the official took their money..."

"How much did you collect?" Yue Su asked.

"It can be more than a hundred thousand taels." Bai Yu replied tremblingly.

"Oh..." Yue Su nodded slightly and said, "The number is not small. What have you done for them?"

"I didn't do anything. It's just that a few days ago, after the Tatars broke out of Zhangjiakou, they asked me to help protect Tian Xiu, the Zhangjiakou guard. The lower official... got a discount..."

"Besides this, is there anything else?" Yue Su asked again.

"No more."

"I understand. This matter has not been tried yet. As long as you surrender, you can write a confession and hand it to the emperor. When I return to Beijing, I will plead for you in front of the emperor and ask him to be lenient.

I'm disappointed." Yue Su's tone became gentle, "Okay, get up."

"Your Excellency... I have a grudge... I have a merciless request... I hope your Excellency can..." Bai Yu choked up and said, but halfway through the sentence, he stopped talking.

Yue Su understood what he heard and said calmly: "Master Bai, you and I have worked together for many years. If you have anything to say, just say it. If I can do it, I will definitely be obliged to do it."

"Thank you, sir..." Bai Yu kowtowed quickly, and then said tremblingly: "I'm the official... I just hope that you can... be able to... show mercy outside the law... spare Fan Yongdou's life..."

"What did you say?" Yue Su shouted loudly, slammed his palm on the coffee table, and said angrily: "Sir Bai, don't you already know what Fan Yongdou and the others have done? They transported military supplies out of the customs and cooperated with the captives to support the enemy.

Not to mention their heads, not even their whole family’s heads can be saved!”

"My lord...Xiaguan also knows...but...just...Xiaguan's son is in their hands...if your lord kills them all...they will definitely kill my son and bury him with him...

Xiaguan's eldest son died of a weak crown... This son was acquired in his old age... I am a single descendant of the Bai family... I hope that for the sake of Xiaguan's always conscientiousness... you can leave fireworks for Xiaguan..." This time

, Bai Yu completely burst into tears.

"Bai Yu, Bai Yu, how come your son is involved with Shanxi merchants?" Yue Su's face darkened.

"This... alas..." Bai Yu sighed and said, "Just because I got a son when I was old... so I dotes on my son... and obeys my words... A few days ago... the son of Tian Shenglan, a Shanxi merchant, invited the puppy to come.

Traveling to Zhangjiakou...I didn't intend to let him go...but this kid is too stubborn...ignoring my obstruction...he just went...early this morning...Tian Shenglan's servants came to deliver a message...saying that they

The goods shipped out of the customs were detained by Wu Sinan... A group of Shanxi merchants were also arrested... Even Governor Cui Jingrong did not come out after entering the governor's office... I heard that your lord came to Zhangjiakou in person... The letter also said

...If Tian Shenglan and the others die... they will definitely take my son to be buried with them... Please, please, out of kindness for the past... leave this blood of my Bai family..."

"Master Bai, I cannot agree to this. You have seen what the Ming Dynasty is like now. Bandits are rampant, Tatars are raging, and they even dare to enter the Central Plains to plunder and disturb the capital. I am entrusted by the late emperor to support me.

, dedicated to defending the Ming Dynasty, those Shanxi merchants colluded with the Tatars and secretly supported the enemy. What they did is suspected to shake the foundation of the Ming Dynasty. How can I be merciful to them for such a crime? Bai Yu, you are also a well-read sage.

You are a scholar, and you are in a high position, don’t you even understand this truth? How dare you intercede for them in front of me! In your heart, is your son’s life worth more than the life of someone else’s son?

Just like grass and grass? So many weapons and armors are sent outside the customs. After the Tatars get them, they will use these weapons to kill many people of my age. Don’t they have parents and relatives? Don’t their parents feel sorry for their sons?

Is that so? The Tatars' entry into the country this time has caused many families to be destroyed. Don't you, Mr. Bai, know?" When Yue Su said these words, his tone changed from calm to heavy and then to harsh. The only person he said was Bai Yu.
