1296 Two Ways
Ming Shaoqing and Ming Hell's reputation spread throughout half of the Great Chu, and everyone knows it and is afraid of it. This person is decisive and cruel in his work, leaving no sympathy. No matter why he came today, there will be no good things if he provoked him!
Butler Meng helped the Meng Jingshi who was sitting on the ground, and said, "Sir, there must be any misunderstandings here. Hurry up and see Ming Shaoqing and explain the matter clearly. As long as the misunderstanding is resolved, Ming Shaoqing will not dare to force the arrest of the emperor. You are the imperial official!"
"Yes, yes, I am a court official. Even if Ming Shaoqing wants to help Dou Ke's bastard, I cannot catch me for no reason!" Meng Jingshi stood up, turned around and saw Dou's house, pointed at him and shouted angrily: "Come on, take this bastard merchant for me and tied it to Ming Shaoqing to apologize!"
The Dou family was stunned and hurriedly stepped back, saying, "What does Father-in-law mean? My son-in-law has been treating the Meng family well for many years. If my father-in-law hates Dou Ke's rebellious son, the son-in-law will punish him severely. You can't arrest me!"
What is the character of the King of Hell in Ming Dynasty? A child of a noble family, a powerful minister of the Great Chu, and a confidant of the emperor. He only needs one sentence to kill him, and he cannot go to see him.
Dou Meng still had feelings for the Dou family. Seeing this, he hurried over to plead with mercy: "Dad, dad, you can't. Even if the master is wrong, his daughter doesn't want to be a widow!"
Censor Meng pointed at Dou Meng and scolded: "You are still protecting him now? His son is almost killing you in the entire Meng family!"
The Dou family was so angry that he killed whom? It was obviously because your daughter was stupid and did not do anything cleanly, so she made Dou Ke angry. Now that the matter can’t be kept, I blame me... It’s true that hundreds of thousands of taels of silver were fed to a group of ungrateful wolves!
The Meng family will fall in love with the Dou family because of the Dou family's money. The Dou family can have such a good relationship with the Meng family and it is also supported by money. Over the past decade, they have given the Meng family at least 300,000 taels of silver, allowing the Meng family to maintain wealth, and even the Meng family's money to support the death warriors is available.
Meng Jingshi said, "Stop talking, stop talking, come and tie the person named Dou to me!"
"Yes." The ward outside the door rushed in immediately, tied up Dou Dang's family and took him to the front yard.
Meng Jingshi was also reluctant to let go of the Dou family's money, and said to Dou Dang family on the way: "Ming Shaoqing is too powerful. If you don't tie you up, explain the matter clearly. We will all be done... You will take responsibility for the matter first. This is called abandoning the car to protect the coach. Don't hate me."
Bah, the Dou family scolded Meng Jingshi in his heart, but he still said aggrievedly: "The son-in-law understands, I just want my father-in-law not to really abandon the son-in-law... The second and third brothers are still young, but that boy Dou Ke has a hard wing. If there is no son-in-law to suppress him, he will have no scruples in his work."
Dou Dangjia deliberately mentioned Dou Ke, making Meng Yushi dare not beat him and abandon him, and directly controlled the second and third brothers, and then controlled the Dou family's money.
Meng Jingshi said: "Although you couple did something wrong, I don't want Sister Chang to be a widow."
He quickly told the two of them what to do and what to say when they saw Ming Shaoqing later.
But Censor Meng gave in vain that if Shaoqing Ming can become a person who is afraid of by all officials, nobles, noble families, and even royal families, it is impossible for him to listen to nonsense.
...
The front yard was filled with Ming Shaoqing's people.
Ming Shaoqing was wearing a luxurious brocade robe and sat in the main seat, drinking the famous tea he brought and the Meng family's tea, but he didn't want to drink it.
"Ming Shaoqing is here, I am not welcome. I hope Ming Shaoqing will not blame him." Before I stepped into the guest hall, I bowed and said, "What happened to Ming Shaoqing this time? The Meng family is the family of the censors. They have always abide by the criminal laws of the Great Chu. They must have done nothing that violates the criminal laws, right?"
His words were reminding Ming Shaoqing that even if you have killed so many people and copied so many businesses, you cannot arrest people for no reason. You must have a charge and evidence.
Ming Shaoqing curled his lips, and sneered on his face, looking at the imperial censor Meng: "I have just returned to Beijing after dealing with the private mine case of the Tong family in Linhe Prefecture. When I passed by the gate of Jingzhao Prefecture, I ran into Dou Ke and sued Dou Meng. The Meng family affairs, so I wanted to join in the fun. He captured the dead soldiers alive and brought the dead soldiers, which is considered conclusive evidence."
He also said: "Civilian Meng, the Criminal Law of the Great Chu, the stepmother must not harm the original wife's son, otherwise it will be beheaded if it is serious. Dou Meng used the death warrior of your Meng family, that is, your Meng family is plotting to murder Dou Ke, and the Meng family and Dou Meng family are both guilty of the same crime."
"Misunderstanding, misunderstanding, Ming Shaoqing!" Meng Jingshi was anxious and said hurriedly: "Neither the Meng family nor the little girl harmed Dou Ke. Those dead men in the Meng family are fake. If you don't believe it, you can ask the son-in-law or investigate thoroughly..."
With a bang, Ming Shaoqing put down the tea bowl heavily, looked at Meng Jingshi with murderous eyes and said, "Meng Jingshi, do you really want me to investigate? I am afraid that if I investigate, your Meng family will have a great disaster."
Meng Jingshi's face was pale, but he still insisted on saying, "Ming Shaoqing, this is just a small holiday between the little girl and Dou Ke, how could it become a disaster for the Meng family to exterminate the clan?"
Ming Shaoqing sneered: "The death warriors were assassinated several times, and there were many death warriors trained by the Meng family. Since the founding of the Great Chu country, there have been clear regulations on the number of shadow guards trained by the Shadow Guards. The Meng family is now just a family of censors, and the death warriors raised must have long exceeded the number stipulated in the criminal law."
"Other adults turned a blind eye to such things because of their own relationships, but I don't know how to do it. They have always been doing things for business."
When the Imperial Palace heard this, his face turned blue and he knelt down with a pounce, begging him: "Ming Shaoqing is proud of his hand, let the Meng family go!"
Due to the influence of the taming of private soldiers in the previous dynasty, although the Criminal Law of the Great Chu stipulated that it was not necessary to raise too many dead soldiers and shadow guards, all major families, nobles, high officials, royal families, etc., would be able to support them as long as they could afford them, and they would only have more or less.
Because everyone is the same, no one mentioned this, but if the King of Hell really seized his family's mistake, the Meng family would have to pay the price!
Ming Shaoqing looked at the Imperial Master Meng, then looked at Dou Meng again, with disgust in his eyes, and finally looked at Dou Dangjia and said, "You have given birth to a good son but don't know how to cherish it. It's so stupid. It's better not to do this position as Dou family, so as not to kill yourself."
The Dou family was shocked. What does it mean to understand the King of Hell? Did he fall in love with Dou Ke? He wanted to kill himself and give Dou Keteng a place?
No, he doesn't want to die yet!
Ming Shaoqing was too lazy to talk nonsense to them, so he gave them two ways: "Either the Meng family and the Dou family are destroyed, or they will immediately take Dou Meng to Jingzhao Mansion to plead guilty."
What!
The Censor Meng, the Dou family, and the Dou Meng family were all shocked.
