As soon as Li Zian said these words, he actually regretted them immediately.
It's not that he feels it's inconsistent with his previous style, it's mainly because of his identity, which is actually quite sensitive.
Especially when facing court officials of all sizes in the fiefdom, he should be even more cautious in his words and deeds.
Otherwise, it is likely to cause some unnecessary misunderstandings, and may even cause unnecessary trouble to each other.
So seeing Shen Zhonglei's slightly embarrassed expression, Li Zian cleared his throat uncomfortably and said: "The matter has come to this, and nothing can be done to undo it. Since Shi Da is from the Yongzhou government office, I can't interfere, so
Leave it to Mr. Shen to handle by himself.
"And I came here today for the sake of the people who were arrested in Tong Niangzi Medical Center. Now that the matter is clear, shouldn't the government release them?
"Ms. Tong is currently treating my father in the palace. I am using her people here, but I haven't taken good care of him yet. I don't know how to explain to others."
Shen Zhonglei had just returned home yesterday. He came across this incident when he came to the Yamen this morning. How could he know the specific situation?
He was so anxious that he could not see Shi Da who was kneeling below him. He could only focus on himself and tremble on the ground.
Li Zian couldn't help but be a little anxious when he saw this. Although Xie Yan said that he had dealt with it in prison, who knew what Shi Da would do if he was eager to make a contribution.
"Speak, are you going to use torture?"
"Your Majesty, I'm asking you a question!" Shen Zhonglei couldn't help but finally kicked Shi Da, "Where are the people from Tong Niangzi Medical Center? Have they been tortured?"
Only then did Shi Da realize that he was asking himself, and he immediately shook his head like a rattle and said repeatedly: "No, there is no torture, everyone is in prison well!"
Shen Zhonglei wanted to roll his eyes when he heard it, and thought to himself, he has been in jail for several days, and he still has the nerve to say okay.
But Shi Da was lucky and didn't torture anyone, otherwise he wouldn't have known how this matter would have ended.
"Hurry up and let him go!" Shen Zhonglei saw that Shi Da had finished speaking and lay back trembling again. He couldn't help but start to doubt his own vision.
Such a coward, how did he take a fancy to him in the first place and promote him to be a head catcher?
Shi Da, with his legs weak, ran to the prison to release the prisoners.
Gao Shan and others were imprisoned for several days. Although they were not tortured, the prison was hot and humid, and the food often smelled rancid, so they suffered a lot.
After being released, all of them looked sallow and their steps were sluggish.
Li Zian frowned when he saw it and asked, "Didn't you say there is no use of punishment?"
Shen Zhonglei awkwardly explained in a low voice: "Master Shizi, the conditions in the prison are not very good. I will urge them to improve as soon as possible..."
Li Zian also understood that he was asking a silly question. What was the situation in the prison? Let alone Yongzhou Mansion. Even in the prison of Prince Rui's Mansion, the situation would not be much better. Even if no torture was used after entering, it would be almost the same when he came out.
You also need to peel off the skin.
"Okay, I'll take you away first." Li Zian said and led everyone out of the government office.
Shi Da had been worried before, fearing that Li Zian would deal with him.
Even if Li Zian said that he would be handed over to Shen Zhonglei, he didn't dare to believe it.
Now that he saw that the person really left and didn't take him away with him, he suddenly breathed a sigh of relief, and his whole body fell to the ground as exhausted as a puddle of mud.
Shen Zhonglei looked at Shi Dadao with anger on his face: "Thankfully, I thought before that I would try my best to speak for you in front of the Crown Prince, because I wanted to protect you!
"If it hadn't been for the prince's words, I wouldn't have known there were so many tricks behind your so-called merits!"
Shen Zhonglei had noticed before that Li Zian had been interrupting him.
He originally thought that Li Zian was too angry and didn't want to hear his explanation.
Now that I think about it, I realize that Li Zian did this entirely for his own good and did not want him to intercede for Shi Da to avoid the embarrassment of learning the truth later.
I think back then, Prince Rui loved his people like his own son, and now the prince is so kind, so the people of Huguang are blessed.
Therefore, after his imperial examination, his mother asked someone to find a good place for him. The person who helped him said that it would be best to go abroad for a few years to get some qualifications and learn some skills before returning to the capital, and the best place to go abroad was
, which is Huguang.
First of all, Huguang has become increasingly prosperous in recent years. If you are an official here, your life will definitely not be miserable.
Secondly, Prince Rui is kind-hearted and it is much less troublesome to work in his fief than in other places.
But as Mrs. Shen said before, even if Prince Rui's Palace has all kinds of good things, it is still just a Prince's Palace after all, and Shen Zhonglei is an official of the imperial court, so he must understand this clearly.
A treasonous idea suddenly came to Shen Zhonglei's mind. It would be great if the emperor could be as tolerant as Prince Rui.
He himself was startled by this sudden thought. He subconsciously looked around and said to Shi Da angrily: "Go down and rest at home for the next few days. You don't have to come to the Yamen. I have something to do in the future."
I'll call you again."
These words were equivalent to kicking Shi Da to the bottom, but he didn't have any reason to defend himself, so he said to Shen Zhonglei guiltily: "It's all my subordinates who have lost their minds and committed such mistakes. It's really
It’s a waste of all your cultivation efforts.”
Shi Da had been worried about how Li Zian would deal with him before. He was so filled with fear that he couldn't think of anything else.
Only then did I finally start thinking about what I should do in the future.
There are elders and younger children in the family, and it is all up to him to make money to support the family.
When I was working as a police officer in the yamen, life was a bit tight, but fortunately my daughter-in-law was diligent and thrifty in running the house, so the whole family could have enough food and clothing throughout the year, which was much better than those in the neighborhood who worked odd jobs and worked hard outside.
.
At that time, he could be said to be content. Even though he was a little tired from being a policeman, he was still very motivated every day.
Perhaps because of this, he was favored by Shen Zhonglei and promoted him to be the head catcher.
I don't know when he started, but he was no longer satisfied with having enough food and clothing, and wanted more and more.
Now that the errand is lost, even if the family still has the money they saved, how long can they survive?
Sooner or later, all the wealth in his family will be wasted, let alone his little savings.
Shi Da's mind went blank at this moment. Will he have to be like his neighbors, running outside every day waiting to recruit people, and working hard like those mud-legged people?
After all, he was also a head catcher, and he knew a lot of people in the city. When people saw him reduced to this, even if they didn't intentionally insult him, they would inevitably laugh and ridicule him in a weird way.
In such a hopeless life, even thinking about it makes me feel hopeless. Why is there any need to live on?
