Xia Xun said solemnly: "If you die like this, where will the dignity of the court be? Yu Shi, this matter will fall on you. You must find out everything that the brothel singer said one by one and find out the truth.
You are a hypocrite, please give me justice to Mr. Futai."
While Xia Xun was speaking, Lao Fan and two guards had already rushed forward and captured Miss Xi Si.
Chang Yinglin was stunned for a moment, feeling frightened and annoyed at the same time, and said hurriedly: "This... the Duke of the country loves me so much, and the subordinates are so grateful, but... a brothel girl makes ridiculous remarks, why bother to go to war and kick her out?
, just ask her mother in the hospital to train her well, how can she disturb the Duke of the country's interest."
Xia Xun said sternly: "Futai intends to offer mercy, but my father-in-law does not agree. How can a brothel girl dare to slander her local parents? Just as Futai said, there must be someone behind the scenes. As soon as it is found out that what she said is false
, My Lord must hold the person responsible for this behind the scenes accountable! Floods in eastern Zhejiang are causing disasters. It is a time when the government and the people work together to fight the disaster and save themselves. Some people do not understand the general situation, slander the court officials, and ruin the reputation of the court. Is this a small matter?
, If you want to investigate, you must get to the bottom of it and get to the bottom of it!"
Chang Yinglin wanted to cry but had no tears. This kindness was too much, and it was really fucking fatal!
He squeaked and didn't know what to say, but the Duke of Guo was so protective, which made him feel relieved. Presumably... if Yu Shi really found out something, the Duke of Guo could also defend him.
Yeah...
Among the crowd, Chu Meng was very uneasy. He was much smarter than Chang Zhifu, and he had already smelled something unusual. If his kindness was too much, then he had ulterior motives. This Duke of the State was sincerely safeguarding the integrity of Chang Zhifu.
Reputation, or...
The more Mengchu thought about it, the more frightened he became. He wanted to remind him, but with so many people present, how could he say anything to Chang Yinglin.
Yu Shiji took the opportunity to say: "What the Duke said is true, someone is here!"
The two flags of the Metropolitan Procuratorate also stepped forward and handed over their hands to wait for orders. Yu Shiji said: "This girl who practices silk is an important witness and suspect. You bring a few people and together with the guards of the Duke, take this girl who practices silk.
Take him back to the brothel and keep him in a separate place under his care until I can find out the true story and then deal with him!"
"I humbly obey my orders!"
The flag sign did not allow Miss Xi Si to yell any more angrily, and with a wink at Lao Pen, the two groups escorted Miss Xi Si out.
This is also where Yu Shiji is cautious. Female prisoners are not allowed in prison unless they are guilty of death penalty or adultery. And it would not be appropriate to leave this silk-loving girl in the magistrate's office. This is Chang Yinglin's territory. If she doesn't take care of her at all,
Wherever you go, you will inevitably be taken advantage of. Besides, the two sides have not yet broken up with each other. It would not be appropriate to guard you here and not allow anyone from the prefect's Yamen to approach as if you are facing a powerful enemy.
After all, although he believed what this girl said, it was not appropriate for him to completely fall out with Magistrate Chang before he had real evidence. Not to mention that the Magistrate also had the right to send the memorial directly to the imperial court, not to mention that he had someone behind his back.
There is a Mr. Ji who can report to the emperor at any time. Before he has strong evidence, if someone grabs his pigtails, he will be passive.

Miss Xisi was taken away, and the banquet ended happily.
Governor Chang forced himself to be happy and sent Xia Xun, Xia Yuanji and other adults back to their residence. As soon as they came out, Chu Meng and several other treacherous gentry who had been waiting there came over. Chu Meng said anxiously: "Fu
Mr. Tai, this is a bit weird. I don’t think the Duke of the Kingdom wants to help us. He sits there like a smiling tiger. He always has the air of eating people without spitting out their bones. I
It’s scary to look at it!”
Chang Yinglin hesitated and said: "I feel... something's not quite right..."
Chu Meng paused and said: "Oh, my Lord Futai, you are really confused because you are in the middle of the situation. There is something wrong. You clearly have ulterior motives. These imperial officials often walk in front of the emperor, and they have honed their scheming skills.
Don't look at them saying anything, showing no emotion or anger, but their methods are ruthless. If they don't touch you, they will kill you if they do it. I think this matter is really risky!"
Chang Yinglin was already feeling uneasy, and when he heard this, he became even more panicked, and hurriedly said: "Let's go to the study to discuss a countermeasure!"
Xia Xun was not idle either. As soon as he left, Xia Xun called Xia Yuanji and Yu Shiji into his room.
Xia Yuanji smiled and said: "The Duke of Guo used this trick very well. It's already night and it's hard to find out the truth. We need to stabilize him first and then investigate in detail tomorrow."
Xia Xun smiled slightly, stared at him and said, "Do you really think so?"
Xia Yuanji laughed noncommittally, and Yu Shiji couldn't wait to say: "Master Guo, what should we do now?"
Xia Xun no longer made things difficult for Xia Yuanji. He asked them to sit down and said calmly: "What Xi Si said is absolutely true!"
Yu Shiji tentatively said: "But there is a Master Ji behind the Chang Magistrate. This matter... When the officials are at the banquet, it is natural to handle official matters, but in private, I can't help but ask the Duke, how do you think we should handle it?
, to what extent should it be dealt with?”
Xia Xun glanced at him and snorted in his heart: "You are a general of the Metropolitan Procuratorate and a popular figure under Chen Ying. Chen Ying and Ji Gang are fighting to the death. You wish you could help Ji Gang make ten thousand enemies, let alone
I hope that the fight between the prince faction will turn upside down, and of course they are eager to drag me into it!"
Xia Xun took a breath and said solemnly: "Two adults, you have all seen the misery of the victims since the three of you and I came to the disaster relief. Who wouldn't feel compassion for the victims if they have a little heart? If those victims were really killed by Chang Yinglin
This man's parents were turned away by officials, and all the grain stored in the government and donated by officials and gentry was put into his own pocket. This is a heinous crime that is outraged by God and resented by gods and ghosts!"
Yu Shiji nodded hastily: "The Duke of Guo said yes, the Duke of Guo said it!"
Xia Xun changed his tone and added: "However, although the possibility of being instigated by others to slander officials is very small, it cannot be ruled out until the truth is discovered. When the three of you and I left the capital, the emperor taught us earnestly.
, My Lord does not dare or forget for a moment. Shilang Xia is in charge of food relief matters, Yu Shi is in charge of judicial justice, and my Lord is in charge of the overall situation and supports you with courage! That girl Xisi was sent by the imperial court, and two hundred officials and gentry of Huzhou
Many people say these words, who dares to ignore them? How will I explain to the emperor when I go back?"
Yu Shiji was even more happy and said repeatedly: "The Duke is wise! The Duke is wise!"
Xia Xun looked solemn and said to Yu Shiji: "Yu Shiji, right or wrong is up to you now! If Chang Zhifu is upright and aboveboard and does no evil deeds, he will sleep calmly tonight and do nothing; if he has ghosts in his heart, tonight
Something must be done, and this is a great opportunity for you, Yu Shi, if you can get real evidence, let alone my own father-in-law, how can his good sister-in-law cover up such a serious crime of deceiving the emperor and harming the people?"
Yu Shiji was stunned and said: "Well..., this..."
Xia Xun said with concern: "Master Yu, are there any difficulties? If you don't have enough manpower, then the matter is urgent. As long as you put it forward, you can call on the three thousand guards of my father's army!"
Yu Shiji was unwilling to bring Xia Xun in, but of course he couldn't miss such a good opportunity, so he had no choice but to follow Xia Xun's wishes and said: "Yes, the official is feeling that in the land of Chang Zhifu, there are not enough people at his disposal."
, please also ask the Duke to temporarily lend the power of dispatching three thousand guards to the lower official!"
Xia Xun immediately took out the military talisman from his arms and said with emotion: "You and I are both doing things for the country and serving the king. There is nothing wrong with this."
Yu Shiji gave a wry smile, took the military talisman, raised his hand to Xia Xun and said: "The matter is urgent, Lord, I will go and make arrangements right now!"
Xia Xun smiled and said: "Go, go, my father-in-law is waiting for your good news!"
※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※
In the study, Chang Yinglin was as anxious as an ant on a hot pot, running around in circles.
The second housekeeper didn't understand what was going on, so he chased her in and asked for instructions: "Sir, do you want to send the sleeping girl prepared for the Duke and several other adults now?"
Chang Yinglin flew up with a kick, and even his official boots flew out, scaring the second steward so much that he ran away. Chang Yinglin slumped down on the chair with one bare foot. After thinking about it carefully, he suddenly remembered him.
Master Lou was so lucky that he regretted it and said: "Hey, if I had listened to Master Lou, how could I have been here today? How could I have been here today? Even if there was a lawsuit against me that was not afraid of death, there was nothing the Duke could do.
Me, now...now..."
Chu Meng said anxiously: "My prefect, please don't regret it. You have to think about what to do now!"
Chang Yinglin bit her nails and said nervously: "What should I do? What should I do?"
Chu Mengmeng thought for a while, then gritted his teeth and said: "Everyone, we all relied on Master Chang to make a fortune. At this time, if we help Master Chang, we are helping ourselves. What I mean is this, first of all
The hole in the treasury was blocked, and our family transported the stored grain to the treasury overnight. More than half of the 600,000 dan gap had to be blocked, and the rest had to be said to be for disaster relief. He wanted to check
You know, it takes some effort!
Then, they mobilized the squire chiefs, mobilized inspections everywhere, and local county governments to suppress the people. Those ignorant people were very ignorant and intimidated. There were not many people who dared to speak up and testify. The prince of the country always had to leave, so they still
We have to live here, who dares to be so unscrupulous?"
Chang Yinglin immediately rushed forward and said: "Yes, yes, yes, I will use your grain to block the errands first, and I will return it to you later! Wait until this autumn... next autumn, and I will collect a few more percent of the grain tax.
The benefits of supplying you!”
When several grain gentry heard that they wanted to go out to get grain, even though they said they would return it as soon as possible, they still looked embarrassed and worried. Chu Meng said anxiously: "My dear friends, please keep the green hills here. Don't worry about not having firewood. What if?"
Mr. Chang has fallen, and under the overthrow of the nest, are there any eggs left?"
A grain gentry hesitated and said: "In this way...there will be no flaws?"
Chu Mengdao: "Any time you find a flaw, you can always fix it. After all, this is our territory! Besides, if the people don't fight with the officials, how many are as bold as that bitch Xi Si? Let the old bustard take good care of the brothel.
As long as she delays here and asks Mr. Kyoryuki to help mediate, there is a chance that we can overcome this obstacle!"
Chang Yinglin nodded like a chicken pecking at rice, and said repeatedly: "Yes, yes, that's right!"
Several grain gentry looked at each other, reluctantly agreed, and immediately started making preparations in a hurry.
Xia Yuanji had been watching Xia Xun and Yu Shiji's drama from the side with cold eyes. After Yu Shiji took the military talisman and hurried out, he leaned towards Xia Xun and asked with concern: "My lord, is this Yu Shiji reliable in his work?"
Xia Xun said: "Don't worry, my father-in-law intervened, but he would stand back. Now like this, he will go all out. He is an officer in the Metropolitan Procuratorate, and he is an expert in investigating cases. Once arranged, he will definitely
He can do a more thorough job than my own father-in-law, but if I were asked to do it, I might not be as clear-sighted as him."
Xia Yuanji felt relieved after hearing this, and then sighed softly and said: "Then Magistrate Chang is also a person who has read poetry and books and received the teachings of saints at a young age. How can he really do such a heartless thing?"
Xia Xun said calmly: "If a person has a dark conscience, what does it matter whether he has read or not? Brother Wei Zhe, I called you here because I have something important to tell you!"
When Xia Yuanji heard him calling her cousin, he quickly left his seat to get dressed, bowed and said: "I don't dare, my subordinates. Please give me your instructions, Lord!"
Xia Xun solemnly said: "Even if Yu Shiji won nothing tonight, it is easy to find out the truth. The accounts of the treasury, the victims living in all directions, the conscientious gentry in Huzhou City... As long as you are willing to investigate, how can you not find him?
? What's more, if Chang Yinglin is really guilty of evil deeds, Yu Shiji will definitely get something tonight! At that time, my lord will ask for the king's order to kill him. It's easy! I'm worthy of you. I'll fight for it.
Be famous among the people, but this is not what I want."
Xia Yuanji was startled and asked quickly: "What does the Duke mean?"
Xia Xun said: "How can it help the people of Huzhou if you want to please me alone and win my reputation? I will pat my ass and leave. The people of Huzhou can only think that there is an upright official in Beijing who has killed corrupt officials for them."
, in Huzhou, the officials and the people regard each other as enemies, so how can the people live and work in peace and contentment? We must truly help them, instead of just venting their anger and letting things go.
The floods were merciless, and the country in eastern Zhejiang was swamped. Many people's fields and properties were lost to the floods, and only one person escaped with their lives. However, they worked hard, paid food and served, and supported the court. At this time, they were turned away by the government and were left to fend for themselves.
Destroy yourself! Brother Wei Zhe, if you get a cut on your body, it will be fine, but if you get a cut on your heart, it will be very difficult to recover.
Did you hear what Miss Xi Si said? She was stabbed by the government eleven years ago, and now she still regards the officials in the world as enemies! A weak woman, no matter how much hatred she has in her heart, she will succumb to her fate, but everything
If all the people share this same mind, how can the world be stable?"
Xia Xun said: "So, once Yu Shiji finds the real evidence, we will have to stay longer in Huzhou. Killing corrupt officials is one thing, but this is not the most important thing. The most important thing is to do something for the people who are suffering.
Arrange their lives well, and at the same time restore the people's confidence in the court. The emperor cherishes his people, and not all officials in the court are like Chang Yinglin. If this leads to antagonism between the government and the people, what will happen to them?
The imperial court is not a good thing, and it is also not a good thing for the people.
Yu Shiji has caught the evidence of Chang Yinglin's crime, so we can't rush to kill him. We must mobilize the Huzhou gentry and the people to expose his crimes together, and let the gentry know that the officials of the imperial court are not officials for the sake of protecting them. Let the people
You know, there are many righteous and kind-hearted people among the gentry who have no worries about food and clothing!
We need to recall the scattered victims from all over the world and settle their lives; we need to mobilize the Huzhou gentry to go out and work with the government to go to the countryside to help the victims; only in this way can we reunite the hearts of the people of Huzhou and let them know
, Those gentlemen in the city are not all evil-hearted, and the officials in the imperial court are not all Chang Yinglin who regards the common people as their flesh and blood!"
Xia Xunji was in awe and said from the bottom of his heart: "The Duke of the country is the true gentleman and the father and mother of the people!"
Xia Xun shook his head and sighed: "I don't deserve this kind of praise! Since we are officials, then we should do our best to compensate for the sins the black-hearted officials did to the people!"
