Regardless of whether Fang Yingwu is willing to do the dirty work subjectively or not, but this time he is driving a duck to the shelf, he must do it, and there is no room for entanglement. This is also because the Fang family’s foundation is still young and its wings are not strong, otherwise it would not be possible.
Mr. Fang needs to worry about this.
What we have to do next is to expose Second Young Master Liu’s illegal activities without making people feel that this is intentional revenge by the Fang family. In other words, how to be a bitch and erect a memorial at the same time is not a difficult task.
Small technical work.
Just as Fang Yingwu was thinking hard about the best plan in the study, Xiang Chengxian walked in, and Fang Yingwu's eyes lit up. This should be the best candidate, but he didn't know if Mr. Xiang would be willing.
"Brother Fang Xian! If you go out to play, will you come with me?" Xiang Chengxian called.
Fang Yingwu didn't answer. He looked carefully up and down and said seductively to Xiang Chengxian: "You once said you wanted to buy Lady Du San as your concubine. Now you have an opportunity in front of you."
"Oh, that was a long time ago. It is said that there are many famous beauties in the capital. Let me take a look." Xiang Chengxian said nonchalantly.
A long time ago? Fang Yingwu was speechless and criticized Mr. Xiang: "How can you be so fond of the new and hate the old, and let go of your precious feelings so easily? Don't you feel regretful?"
Xiang Chengxian was very innocent and confused after being criticized: "Brother Fang Xian, why are you excited? What reason do you have to talk to me? Why don't you talk about the emotional problems of that girl Yuan Fengxiao in Hangzhou? Do you feel sorry?"
"Then let's put it another way. The Dongcheng Soldiers and Horses Division arrested you and put you in jail for no reason and held you for a day. Do you want to avenge this?" Fang Yingwu quickly changed the topic and asked again.
Xiang Chengxian asked in confusion: "There is no need to report it? You said it was a misunderstanding, and the person behind the other party can't be offended? Why do you bring it up again today?"
"A real man has a clear sense of grudges and grudges. If you want to take revenge, you will live up to your life's purpose. The Master said, "How can you repay kindness with kindness!" Fang Yingwu said passionately.
Xiang Chengxian squinted at him. "Don't you have a fever? Just tell me what you want me to do. Given our friendship, am I a brother who can push back and forth at will?"
Fang Yingwu revealed his original purpose, "How about you go and file a complaint? Just go and file a lawsuit against the Dongcheng Army and Horse Department?"
Xiang Chengxian still had doubts, "When I came out of there, you told me that you promised Commander Cao not to pursue this matter anymore. People must keep their word. Isn't it bad to break the promise easily?"
"
Fang Yingwu chuckled and said, "I did promise Mr. Cao not to pursue the case any further, but you didn't agree. What does your filing a complaint have to do with my promise?"
Xiang Chengxian had nothing to say. Taking advantage of loopholes was indeed what Fang Yingwu was good at. He muttered: "I have never filed a lawsuit in my life. Is this my first time giving it to you?"
Fang Yingwu was not someone who liked to deceive his teammates, so he warned: "The ugly thing is ahead. If you go to sue Mr. Cao, the commander of the Dongcheng Army, you may be involved in the current political situation, and you will probably offend the second minister of the dynasty."
Xiang Chengxian thought for a moment and said without hesitation: "If you need to do this for your brother, there is nothing you can say!"
The scholar class in this era still had morale. The fear of the powerful was not as exaggerated as that of later generations. And offending a big shot of the day was not as scary as later generations. At worst, if they could hide back home, nothing would happen. After all, Qianglong
Don't suppress local snakes.
Unless this big shot is powerful enough to break the barriers of the local clan gentry. But in reality, the emperor may not be able to do it. The emperor's decree cannot leave the county, let alone a less powerful subordinate.
"Brother Xiang is so righteous! Little brother, I have written it down!" Fang Yingwu quickly handed over a top hat.
Xiang Chengxian scratched his head. "There's another question. I heard that the people are guilty first when they sue the officials. I'm going to sue Mr. Cao. Don't let me get killed by a hundred sticks first. The physical pain will be hard to bear."
Fang Yingwu let out a long sigh, "Brother Xiang! Have you forgotten that you are a member of the imperial examination, and you came to the capital just to take the exam?"
"Oh, I really didn't expect it for a moment." Xiang Chengxian suddenly realized it, as if he had just realized his meritorious status, so he stopped worrying about it, patted his chest and said: "That's no problem! The capital is big and small.
There are countless small yamen, which yamen do you think I should go to to file a complaint? The Metropolitan Procuratorate, the Criminal Department or the Shuntian Prefecture? Just choose any one you want!"
Fang Yingwu said with earnest eyes: "Brother Xiang, you and I have traveled all the way from Chun'an County to the provincial capital, and from the provincial capital to the capital. Our horizons have gradually broadened, and we should be more generous in doing things! Think more generously!"
"How can you be more generous when you go to Shuntian Mansion of the Six Departments and Three Law Departments to file a complaint?"
Fang Yingwu chuckled and said: "A few days ago, when my father went out, he passed by the right gate of Chang'an. There is a Dengwen drum installed there. Brother Xiang, look..."
Beating the drum is commonly known as complaining. Xiang Chengxian was shocked, "You want me to beat the drum to complain? Isn't it okay? Only when there are serious grievances and major cases can I go to knocking?"
"Wengu, this is just a small matter for me, beating the Wengu is too much."
Fang Yingwu said solemnly: "You are wrong. You are not complaining because you were arrested and wronged. It is because you are not angry that our Fang family has been smeared, but my father and son's integrity is full of integrity.
The overall situation is to swallow your anger, but out of the sense of being a fellow countryman, you can't stand it and file a complaint. The purpose is to expose the truth as a party involved."
Although Xiang Chengxian was not stupid, he immediately realized something, put away his careless smile, and nodded: "I understand!" Then he thought of something again and asked: "Mrs. Du San, do you have anything to offer?
Arrangement? If things go viral, she will become a witness. Aren’t you afraid of being silenced? "
"No, those people wouldn't do such stupid things." Fang Yingwu said confidently.
After the Ming Dynasty entered a stable period, the temples were in peace for a long time, and the number of officials who spoke out was overflowing (this is also related to the fact that the current Emperor Chenghua did not like to kill people), and the supervision of public opinion was almost harsh. There would be no movement even if there was no wind, let alone such a big move as silence.
If something happened to Lady Du Sanniang, don't worry, everyone in the world would think it was Liu Cifu who did it, and public opinion would directly treat Liu Cifu as the real culprit without any evidence.
Normally, Liu Cifu might be able to handle it, but he certainly couldn't handle it during this sensitive period. Therefore, if something goes wrong with Mrs. Du Sanni, the biggest victim would be Liu Cifu himself, so why bother to silence her?
Therefore, in political disputes, silence is not an effective option at all. From Chenghua to Chongzhen, political disputes in the Ming Dynasty were fierce and fierce, but there were few direct lawsuits involving human life. Unlucky people like Xia Yan can really be regarded as winning the big prize.
When Xiang Chengxian thought that this was also the case, he put aside his thoughts of pity for the beauty and said to the other party: "I have nothing to do today. I'm going to leave now. If there is any accident, I have to rely on brother Fang Xian for rescue."
Fang Yingwu cupped his hands and said goodbye: "Remember, you are complaining out of loyalty, not because of your own grievances." (To be continued...)
