Chapter 134 The fire of the sky falls again! Generous action!
The affair involving Zhang Tao, the right-hand admonition doctor, seemed to be a clarion call for war between the two sides. Bullets were flying all over the sky, and Li Qian's workload increased a lot.
But there is nothing you can do about it, you have to bear the consequences of your sins with gritted teeth.
Regarding these criticisms from both sides, Li Qian took a tolerant approach to most officials. Only those who went too far would give instructions of dismissal from office or demotion or transfer.
Moreover, for both Cai Jing and Qin Hui, his overall strategy is to play fifty big games each, which makes the overall situation of both parties still in balance.
At this moment of turmoil in the capital's officialdom, everything in Jingzhao Mansion was quiet.
Cai Bian was tall and handsome, wearing a neat blue official robe and a black gauze hat. He frowned and looked at Cai You in front of him: "Why have you come to see those suspects again and again recently?"
Cai You smiled and handed him a cup of tea: "Second uncle, my nephew also wants to help you ask some useful things!"
"No need for your help!"
Cai Bian didn't like his nephew very much, and glanced at him angrily: "If you have nothing to do, you might as well read more and learn the etiquette of saints! Don't hang out with your father all day long and make trouble for others!"
"Isn't my nephew coming to study with his second uncle?"
Cai You came over and rubbed Cai Bian's shoulders and legs with a smile: "Second uncle, this person is a member of the traitorous prime minister Qin Hui. If we can really dig something out of this person, we will definitely be able to bring down the traitor Qin Hui."
"Don't you hate such traitors the most?"
"Ha~"
Cai Bian looked at him with a sneer: "Do you think I am deaf and blind? Your father and Qin Hui have been fighting so fiercely recently, do you think I don't know?"
"It is precisely because of this that we have hope of overthrowing Qin Hui!"
Cai You pinched his shoulders and persuaded him earnestly: "Second uncle, think about it, Qin Hui's traitors are spread all over the government and the public, and their roots are deep! If my father hadn't stood up, who would have dared to do anything to this man?"
"Your father is not a good person, he is just a coward!" Cai Bian looked very sad.
Cai You pinched his shoulders and said helplessly: "Second uncle, even if you want to get rid of the two raccoon dogs on this hill, you have to do it one by one, right?"
"Just tell me, now that you have the chance, do you want to bring down the traitor Qin Hui?"
These words actually penetrated into Cai Bian's heart.
Even if you want to eliminate adultery, you have to do it one by one!
"Of course I want." His expression softened a little and he nodded lightly.
"Hehe~"
Cai You said with a smile: "Then uncle, you shouldn't have stopped me! At the very least, you can't let that Zhou Lei go too quickly!"
Speaking of that person, Cai Bian frowned.
"There are a lot of strange things in this case, and there are many doubts. Even if you don't tell me, I won't let him go until the case is closed!"
"But if you want to try him, don't abuse the punishment!"
Cai Bian turned to stare at his eldest nephew and said calmly: "I heard the day before yesterday that you wanted to torture this person, but is it true?"
Cai You spread his hands helplessly: "Uncle, this person is already a suspect, so he can't be tortured? Besides, how can I interrogate him without torture? I also want to ask you, why do you want people to stop me?"
"The circumstances of the case are not yet clear. This person may not be the murderer."
Cai Bian frowned and said: "If you wrongly accuse a good person, it is not right to imprison him here. If you continue to abuse the punishment, it will be against the court's laws!"
"Don't worry!"
Cai You said helplessly: "Second uncle, let me tell you, there are not many good people who can get involved with Qin Hui! You can't unjustly accuse him!"
"How about I find him some other charges and punish him for multiple crimes?"
Cai Bian stared at him with a pair of deep black eyes: "If you can find out, that would be great."
"But if you make up a random accusation for him, don't blame me for being rude."
Cai You shivered when he saw it, and he hurriedly raised a hand to assure himself: "Second uncle, don't worry, if it doesn't happen, it means it doesn't happen. My nephew, I will definitely not fabricate charges!"
Cai Bian then closed his eyes and raised his chin towards the door: "Go!"
"Oh! Thank you very much, uncle!"
Cai You happily agreed and ran out.
Just as he stepped over the threshold, Cai Bian's voice came from behind him: "Don't get involved too much in your father's affairs. He likes to play with power, and sooner or later he will suffer the consequences!"
"Since you are still willing to call me uncle, I don't want you to accompany him to capsize."
Cai You paused, turned around, bowed deeply to Cai Bian, and then walked quickly to the prison.
When he came to the door of the prison with all the yamen and followers around him, he was stopped by the prison chief with a troubled expression: "Mr. Cai, you have to wait for a while."
"Huh?" Cai You lost his playful smile in front of Cai Bian, clutching his folding fan and looking unhappy.
He hasn't said much yet, but the friends around him have already started making noises.
"How come you didn't have to wait in the past, but you have to wait today?"
"That's right! We, Master Cai, have to wait while we go in to interrogate a prisoner. Do you want to go back and ask Cai Tuiguan for instructions?"
"If it doesn't work, why don't you go to the Cai Mansion and ask Cai Pushe for instructions?"
"Haha, I'm afraid he can't even enter the Cai Mansion..."
The prison chief was so worried that his face was covered with sweat, but he couldn't afford to offend these officials, so he explained arduously: "Young masters, young master."
"It's not that the young ones are not allowed to enter, but there is someone visiting the prison inside! The person visiting is the person you want to interrogate! If you go in now, wouldn't it look bad if you meet each other?"
As soon as they heard that someone was visiting the prison, everyone stopped saying anything and looked at Cai You, waiting for him to make a decision.
Cai You pondered for a moment and waved his folding fan: "Let's go in and take a look!"
There are people visiting the prison, so I can't pry open the kid's mouth. Maybe there is a breakthrough from the people who visit him?
"Brother Cai is going in, why don't we open the door quickly!"
"That's right! Stop being so annoying! Hurry up!"
Seeing that these people were determined to enter, the cell leader had no choice but to open the door with a grimace and let these people in.
Walking into the dank and smelly prison, all the yamen subconsciously covered their noses with disgust on their faces.
Cai You took the lead and walked quickly towards the cell where Zhou Lei was detained.
It is the place with the best conditions in the whole prison. It has a single room with good ventilation and lighting. It has normal meals every day and the jailer changes the toilet every day...
Cai You once wanted to move him to the water cell below and give him a good bath, but his second uncle Cai Bian disagreed.
The crime has not been determined, and the person may not have been killed at all. How could he be imprisoned in a water prison in this case?
Not only him, the jailer here was also very worried.
This Ta Ma is a relative of Qin Xiang, who dares to serve him without good food and drink?
In the past, when a big shot like this came in, he would be served good food and drinks. If he was willing to pay, they could invite two girls from the brothel to come in and play, play, sing, and sleep with him.
It's a pity that this person doesn't seem to have such a hobby, so the jailers will lose a share of their money...
Cai You kept walking and quickly turned a few corners, faintly hearing bursts of crying in front of him.
Everyone looked inside the prison from a distance and found that there were three women and one man in the single room where Zhou Lei was being held.
A middle-aged beautiful woman was hugging Zhou Lei and crying, and she kept calling my son.
Zhou Lei was wearing a dirty prison uniform, with his hair disheveled, wiping away tears and sobbing quietly.
The other three people seemed to be from the same family, a beautiful woman who kept wiping her tears, a middle-aged man wearing a black silk straight jacket and a beard with an elegant temperament, and a woman about twenty-eight years old, with an appearance...
...She is extremely beautiful and delicate, with a unique and graceful temperament. Cai You, who is used to seeing beautiful women, makes his heart beat a beat slower.
The many officials behind him were also stunned. After they came to their senses, their eyes flashed green and they were gearing up, but they didn't dare to move, so they winked and encouraged Cai Bian at the front.
"Brother Cai, such a beautiful little beauty is rare!"
"Yes, Brother Cai, why don't you go up and chat with them? This cell is a place where good things happen!"
"Even if we can't get rid of the little beauty, the two older ones are pretty good. Anyway, Zhou Lei is in Brother Cai's hands. How can they not give in..."
Cai Bian glanced at them: "These are relatives of Prime Minister Qin."
The yamen were stunned for a moment, and then they smiled and put their thoughts away.
Prime Minister Qin has nothing to do with Mr. Cai Jingcai, but if he concentrates on attacking them, no one will be able to escape.
I heard that those who were against Qin Xiang in the past were all driven out and killed, and no one dared to use their heads to try his methods.
The movement on their side could not be hidden from inside the cell. The man with a short beard turned his head, looked at the group of them, and frowned slightly: "Who are you?"
Cai You took a few steps forward and took out the order he got from Cai Bian: "I have been ordered by the official to interrogate the suspect Zhou Lei."
He interrogated Zhou Lei for so many days, but he got nothing.
At least Cai You had already recognized that the people present were Zhou Lei's mother, his aunt, uncle and cousin.
When Zhou Lei saw Cai You in the cell, he shivered subconsciously and shrank back to the bed.
The middle-aged man frowned and looked at Cai You: "Are you the jailer in Jingzhao Mansion?"
"no."
While he was sizing up Cai You, Cai You was also sizing them up: "Cai Tuiguan is my uncle, I'm just here to help my uncle."
Although the clothes of the people in front of me look good, they seem to be of a normal level, far from being very fancy.
Moreover, he also learned from Zhou Lei that his uncle was a sixth-grade doctor of imperial education. With such an official position, it seemed that he could support such a life...
Cai You felt very depressed. You are relatives of Qin Hui. Shouldn't you rely on him and live a good life with good food and clothing?
What’s the big deal if everyone is like this?
As a result, the possibility of getting clues from these people is even smaller...
Zhou Lei's uncle frowned: "With only a warrant but no official status, how can we interrogate the prisoner?"
Zhou Lei's aunt on the side reminded him in his ear: "He is the son of Cai Jing and Cai Pushe."
The nephew of Cai Tuiguan is the son of Cai Pushe.
Cai You didn't take it seriously and said with a smile: "It's easy to ask for a jailer. Just go outside and call one."
Mrs. Zhou cried even more sadly when she heard that her son was going to be interrogated, but Zhou Lei gritted his teeth and pushed her away.
"Mom, I'm fine, you better go!"
"Silly son, my silly son..." She grabbed Zhou Lei's hand, her eyes swollen like peaches.
Cai You smiled helplessly: "Madam, I was entrusted by my uncle and had to come here."
"When we find out the details of the case, if Zhou Lei is really not involved in that case, we will put him back immediately."
"Don't try him anymore. He didn't kill anyone at all."
Zhou Lei's mother stood up and looked at Cai You, wiping away tears: "I will give you whatever you want..."
oh?
Cai You's eyes lit up: "Madam, how much money do you have?"
"I have more than three thousand taels of silver, as well as my dowry, all for you..." Mrs. Zhou choked even more and was about to take the money from her purse: "I will give you a deposit of one hundred taels first..."
"Don't, don't!"
Cai You hurriedly stretched out his hand to stop her: "Madam, I didn't mean that."
As the daughter of a former prime minister and a relative of the current powerful prime minister, your wealth is too shabby, isn't it?
It's hard for people to blame Qin Hui...
"I mean, it doesn't matter how much money you have!"
Cai You corrected him: "I will not distort the law just for money!"
"If Zhou Lei really committed a crime, no one can save him, but if he is innocent, no one can do anything to him?"
Cai You's delicate appearance coupled with his upright and awe-inspiring words are quite convincing.
Mrs. Zhou was stunned for a moment when she heard this.
Cai You smiled and continued: "Do you think Zhou Lei has lived in prison for so many days, but has he ever had a single scratch on his body?"
"Because he was only suspected and not convicted, I specially arranged him to the best cell. He was never punished, only asked as usual."
"This..." Mrs. Zhou was stunned.
This is indeed the case, there are indeed no scars on Zhou Lei's body.
"Madam, you'd better leave quickly."
Cai You said helplessly: "If I visit the prison for too long, maybe I will be punished by my uncle."
"Okay, okay..." Mrs. Zhou nodded quickly.
Now that her son was going to be interrogated by this man, how could Mrs. Zhou dare to let him be punished?
After this group of people left, Cai You's followers all gathered around him.
"Brother Cai, isn't this family closer to Prime Minister Qin? Are you just going to let them go?"
"Since we bumped into each other, we still need to have a trial! Brother Cai..."
Cai You glared at them angrily: "They are not criminals, how can they be tried?"
"That man is a doctor from Taixue. Do you want to put a sixth-grade official and his family in prison for trial?"
Because of his collusion with military generals, the civil servants did not have a good impression of Cai Jing.
The doctorates and academic officers in this kind of Imperial Academy are among the noble official positions just like Hanlin, Yanguan, etc., and even the status of academic officers is even more special.
If such a doctor of Taixue were detained here today, it would cause public outrage. Those officials who were originally neutral would probably stand on the other side immediately.
By then, Qin Hui will probably be able to laugh out of his dreams.
After being scolded by Cai You, several yamen shrank their necks.
Cai You's face really didn't look good. He was deeply worried about the IQ of his pig teammates.
"Ask a few people to keep an eye on their homes and see where they go every day and how they interact with Qin Hui..."
"Oh~ Okay, Brother Cai!" Only then did the few people take the order and leave.
Cai You turned around and looked at Zhou Lei in the cell, with a charming smile on his face.
"Zhou Lei, let's talk again."
…
The civil servants were killing each other in full swing, and the military generals whose main force was not in the capital had a hard time doing anything except watching the fierce battle.
Whenever this happens, the black-faced Zhao Da will miss his younger brother.
It would be great if he was still in the capital!
In Zhao Mansion, there is a quite vast martial arts field.
Zhao Kuangyin was wearing a burlap jacket, holding a dragon-shaped stick in his hand, and raised his eyebrows at each other.
There were five strong, broad-shouldered and round-waisted soldiers around them, bare-chested and holding sticks, glaring at them with eager eyes. The hideous scars on their bodies squirmed with the bulging muscles, which was particularly frightening.
Suddenly, a loud shout came, and a man behind Zhao Kuangyin suddenly attacked. With a stick like a spear, he brought up a strong wind and struck at the back of Zhao Kuangyin's head. He didn't spare any effort!
At the same time, the four people around him also followed up, either poking or slashing, and all started to kill Zhao Kuangyin.
However, Zhao Kuangyin was not in a hurry. His seemingly fat body moved around with great agility. The stick was like a dragon, covering, picking, blocking, and throwing... It caused waves of whistling sounds and dull collisions, and the coming offensive was coming.
One solution.
The attack of the five soldiers was rapid and fierce, with terrifying power. Every blow broke the air, as if splitting a mountain.
However, Zhao Kuangyin still responded well, and even had the energy to fight back. The shadow of the stick was lingering, and the iron ring on it made a rapid clang. He drove the tip stick to skillfully bypass the dense network of sticks of the five soldiers, and fell on them, like a streak of blue and purple.
.
It's exactly that: the four doors and locks are broken in all directions, and the ancient trees are entangled with roots that are unstoppable. The wind blows the lotus leaves and turns them on their backs, and the method of wrapping the reeds with golden threads is even stronger. The flying pear blossoms are invincible, and the strange python crazily stretches out the tip of its stick to wrap around. Two sticks play in the water
The willows sway in the wind, and the three-style butterfly flowers are endlessly wonderful.
The six of them fought for nearly half a moment, and then Zhao Kuangyin began to gradually fall into a disadvantage, and more and more sticks fell on him.
"Oh! No more fight! No more fight!"
Zhao Kuangyin swung away the three long sticks that were attacking his back and jumped out of the battle circle nimbly: "I haven't practiced for many days, and this stick technique is already unfamiliar."
"Your Majesty's stick skills are superb, how can you say that you are unfamiliar?"
The leader, a simple-looking and honest-looking military man, kept his secrets secret, and when he came up, he said flattering words that were above the line.
"Haha, you, Lao Shi, are still good at talking."
Zhao Kuangyin laughed and walked aside, put down the coiled dragon stick, took the towel brought by the maid and wiped the sweat on his forehead and neck, and said with a smile: "But the situation is not stable recently, it's time to pick up this stick technique again
Woke up!"
He took Shi Shouxin to the edge of the martial arts arena and sat at a small tea table under the shade of a tree, with several military men guarding him.
"Yeah, this situation is getting more and more uneven..."
Shi Shouxin also said with emotion: "There are constant changes in the Jin Kingdom, and now the imperial court has sent troops to Wu and Yue. I don't know how the Wu Kingdom will react when they get the news."
"No matter how Wu Guo reacts, it will still be a trapped beast still fighting!"
Zhao Kuangyin was not worried about this at all: "I heard that Sun Wu has left Wu with his seal, so what is there to be afraid of?"
"With 300,000 forbidden troops, against less than 100,000 Wu soldiers, if something happens again, it's better to find a piece of tofu and pretend to be dead!"
He said with a bit of helplessness: "If I had known that this was a foolproof situation, I shouldn't have let Tingyi follow!"
Shi Shouxin opened his mouth and wanted to say something, but Zhao Kuangyin immediately added: "If we had expected that Cai Jing and Qin Hui could bite so fiercely, we should have kept him in the capital to ignite the fire, but it would be much more useful than letting him go to Wu State."
!”
Shi Shouxin twitched the corner of his mouth, and agreed with a forced smile: "Brother Zhao is really good at... grasping people's hearts."
"yes!"
Zhao Kuangyin leaned on the back of the small chair and sighed: "I have thought about several methods over the past few days, but I always feel that something is missing and it is easy to have flaws."
"It seems that when it comes to instigating trouble, my skills are far inferior to his!"
Shi Shouxin smiled and comforted: "Don't worry, sir, even if you don't take action, others will. There are many people who hope that chaos will continue in the capital!"
Zhao Kuangyin also nodded slowly.
This was indeed the case, he had heard some rumors recently.
~~
There are many people who hope that chaos will continue in the capital, including Tang Guogong Li Yuan.
The Duke's Mansion of the Tang Dynasty, the backyard garden, the sunset, and the pine waves.
Li Yuanzheng and his son Li Jiancheng were walking in the garden behind the mansion. The green grass reached their ankles and the cool breeze ruffled their purple clothes.
"In recent days, Your Majesty has rewarded me with twenty thousand taels of silver from the internal transportation treasury."
Li Jiancheng said helplessly: "If this continues, all the money will be wasted by him."
Li Yuan also sighed: "He did this on purpose. Your Majesty doesn't want us to hold the internal funds anymore."
"How does this work?"
Li Jiancheng was quite indignant: "We have compensated the late emperor so much money, and now we have just returned our capital, are we going to ask him to get his money back?"
"What he thinks is too beautiful, isn't it??"
"This is human nature."
Li Yuan felt helpless and continued: "Who wants to let their wallet be held by outsiders?"
"What a little white-eyed wolf..."
Li Jiancheng couldn't help complaining: "You can't let him take it back. Anyway, dad, you are his uncle. If he takes it back forcibly, you have reason to deal with him."
Li Yuan frowned: "This is exactly how smart your Majesty is."
"Now he keeps asking for money from the internal funds. What will happen when the money in the internal funds is spent? If the palace continues to use money, do we have to continue to subsidize him?"
Li Jiancheng had already anticipated this situation: "Just take care of his food and clothing and don't let him starve to death. If there are any other random demands, no way!"
Li Yuan sighed, he always felt that things would not be so simple.
The little emperor always makes people feel like they are in trouble when doing things, he is unconstrained and creative.
I hope he won't come up with any bad ideas again.
"How did you go about the thing I told you before?" Li Yuan changed his subject.
Li Jiancheng hurriedly replied: "We have sent people a long time ago, and we will probably find out in the next two days."
"Okay." Li Yuan nodded.
The struggle between civil servants is still too mild.
A painless impeachment, digging up dirt, applying eye drops... not irritating at all.
The struggle between Zhongshu Province and Shangshu Province is even more serious!
There is also an administrative process between the two: the province is under the door, so many methods are not available.
As long as the Menxia Province is willing to control, curb some of the despicable methods of the Zhongshu Province, and supervise some of the despicable methods of the Shangshu Province, the scale of the struggle will never be too outrageous.
You must know that in previous years, the struggle between Zhongshu and his disciples, and the struggle between Shangshu and his disciples was the real battle!
When the fight was intense, a full-scale martial arts show was even staged in Chengtianmen Square, where a group fight ensued, much to the delight of the onlookers.
Li Yuan looked at the afterglow of the setting sun in the distance with his hands behind his hands, and continued to walk forward with Li Jiancheng: "You have people make preparations. In addition to what he promised us, try to get more benefits from this matter."
"Okay, father." Li Jiancheng responded.
Even if Li Yuan didn't tell him, he would still do it.
The two continued to walk forward, and waves of faint roars and howls came from a low attic in the distance, accompanied by faint thumping sounds.
Li Yuan was startled and sighed quietly: "I don't know why, but I just walked here."
Li Jiancheng pursed his lips and said nothing.
A flash of disappointment flashed in Li Yuan's eyes, but he still said with a smile: "Go back, it's time to eat."
"Yes, father." Li Jiancheng followed him and turned back the way he came.
…
During the period when Qin Hui and Cai Jing were criticizing each other, Song Min's case was tried twice more, but there was still no result.
The unlucky Dali Temple minister Yan Maoqing wanted to hit the wall. He went to Yan's Mansion several times to seek advice from Yan Shifan, the junior prime minister.
However, it seems that because Yan Song did not take him to provide disaster relief, Yan Shifan's interest was not very high these days.
He just asked Yan Maoqing to wait obediently. He just wanted to drag out the case and neither party should take sides.
Wait until things change, then throw it out.
Yan Maoqing heard smoke rising from the air, and his face was filled with questions.
What is the difference between saying this and not saying it?
Of course I know that I cannot take sides, and I also know that I want to get this matter out of the way!
But the question is, can it be thrown away?
During the second trial, he wanted to leave the matter to Yushitai.
We are all three divisions. We at Dali Temple have presided over the trial once, so it is the turn of the brother departments, right?
However, Cai Jing’s gang members were jumping up and down, trying their best to obstruct this matter.
The horse riding on the Yushitai is Wei Zheng's old lair. Although there may be a few grains of sand in it, Wei Zheng's words are basically very effective!
It's not because of the officialdom system. According to the system, the imperial censor basically has little binding force on the censors below. Each of the censors can bypass the censor and submit the book independently.
Wei Zheng was able to convince the censors below because of his personal charm!
Those stupid green censors were all very convinced by him, which made others feel helpless.
If this case goes to the Yushitai, Wei Zheng might turn out Song Min's intestines.
This is simply unacceptable to Cai Jing and others.
It didn't work to leave it to Yushitai, so Yan Maoqing wanted to leave it to the Ministry of Punishment.
This time it was Qin Hui's turn to cause trouble.
The Ministry of Punishment is Cai Jing’s private territory!
He, Cai Jing, is the Minister of the Ministry of Punishment. If this case is to be tried by the Ministry of Punishment, will the outcome be as simple as possible?
Therefore, after much back-and-forth, everyone discovered that only allowing Dali Temple to continue the trial would be an acceptable result for everyone.
"Xiao Xiangye, there is no way to throw this away!" Yan Maoqing complained bitterly to Yan Shifan in front of him.
He was so anxious that his hair kept falling out, and he didn't even want to go to Xina's concubine's room.
"No hurries?"
Yan Shifan glanced at him with his one eye and said in a unique way: "I guess it will only be the past two days!"
He was holding a bag of japonica rice in his hand and was feeding small handfuls to the green-headed duck beside his legs. He said slowly, "If this continues, it's Cai Jing who should be worried."
"Their next move is probably coming soon."
Yan Maoqing cried sadly: "Young Prime Minister doesn't know something. Maybe I can't wait for Cai Jing's next move, so I'll stick to my butt first! This case has not been tried for a long time, and those crazy dog censors have accused me of failing to handle the case!"
"I heard from Hanzhang that there were three discounts in one day yesterday!"
"So what if I shoot you?"
Yan Shifan curled his lips: "Jing Qing, I'm not telling you, why are you so timid? Now that you are in charge of this case, how dare Qin Hui do anything to you?"
"But every time I'm impeached, the inscription on the memorial will fine me a month's salary!"
Yan Maoqing was about to cry but had no tears: "I have already been fined for this year's salary!"
If he was fined for being late, Yan Maoqing wouldn't think anything of it. After all, it was a real mistake.
But now it’s clear that he’s lying on his back!
Yan Shifan also twitched the corners of his mouth, "A fine of salary? What's the point of stepping on a horse?"
The little emperor is really wicked.
"Qin Huizhao approved?"
Yan Maoqing said helplessly: "Approved."
"Prime Minister Qin sent someone to tell me that now is a critical moment and he should not go against His Majesty on such a trivial matter, lest there would be more trouble and he would have to suffer me again."
Hearing Qin Hui's excellent answer, the fat on Yan Shifan's face twitched even more, and a few grains of japonica rice in his hand were scattered on the ground, causing the green-headed duck to quack in dissatisfaction.
But Yan Shifan had nothing to do about this situation.
After all, things like fines and salaries are not serious, so we can’t let them get into trouble again, right?
"It's hard to be miserable..."
Yan Shifan stroked the green head of the mallard and said helplessly: "You don't lack the salary anyway."
Under the care of Yan Shifan in recent days, the duck has returned to its original smoothness and will no longer chew tree bark.
"Alas~" Yan Maoqing also sighed. The meat on the mosquito's legs is also meat. He will feel bad if it is lost in vain.
Just when both of them were silent, a rush of footsteps came from outside.
The courtyard door opened with a creak, and Luo Longwen, the general official in a red official robe, walked in quickly with excitement on his face, shouting as he walked: "Here he is! Here he is!"
"What's coming? Hanzhang?"
Yan Maoqing trembled and stood up hurriedly: "Is it because you are here to play my memorial again? I won't be able to receive next year's salary?"
"Go aside!"
Yan Shifan pulled him away and didn't even bother to feed the duck. He looked at Luo Longwen and asked, "Is it Cai Jing's back-up?"
"That's right!"
Luo Longwen nodded excitedly: "There's trouble in Longxi!!"
"Longxi?"
Yan Shifan was startled for a moment, his face was extremely surprised, but he gradually calmed down: "Yes...Longxi! There is also Longxi!"
Yan Maoqing was also surprised: "What trouble happened?"
"Changpingcang in Xiangwu County! It's on fire! Everything was burned down!!"
Luo Longwen said hurriedly: "This time, even the Fubing camp in Xiangwu County was hit by fire from heaven, and half of it was burned!"
"Now when Zheng Zheng is training troops, most of the Xiangwu soldiers are in the camp. Not many people have been burned to death, but the soldiers who have lost their homes have gone to the county and county offices to cause trouble!"
“Such a big deal??”
Yan Shifan was shocked: "If the soldiers rebel, how will they end up?"
"No, that's not right..."
He suddenly interrupted himself again: "These soldiers must also be under their control... Master Cai Jingcai, his hands and eyes are indeed all-powerful!"
Yan Maoqing also came to his senses and asked hurriedly: "Xiao Xiangye, is this considered a change?"
"Can you throw it out?"
The water is too deep! Even the soldiers of the government rebelled and came out on horseback. Yan Maoqing really didn’t want to get involved in this anymore!
If no one takes over this time, he will just force himself to report his illness and not even go to the Yamen!
Anyway, don’t give me a salary...
The small resentment in Yan Maoqing's heart continued to grow.
"Dump!"
Yan Shifan slapped his palms: "It's time to take action!"
Unexpectedly, he was so excited that he dropped the bag in his hand to the ground, and the japonica rice inside spilled out.
The green-headed duck quacked over to eat the rice, but Yan Shifan shivered and hurriedly squatted on the ground to pick it up.
"Come and help!"
It's not that he feels sorry for the rice, but if Yan Song comes back and finds rice grains on the ground, he will definitely be scolded again.
Luo Longwen and Yan Maoqing also hurriedly came over, and the three of them stuck their buttocks out and picked up rice grains on the ground.
"Xiao Xiangye, the question is who should I leave it to?"
Yan Maoqing, the drunkard, didn't care, and asked with a sad face: "Let's not talk about whether they are willing to accept it or not. Qin Hui and Cai Jing are definitely not willing either!"
Everyone knows that this matter has become a big deal, who is willing to take over this mess?
When Yan Shifan saw that he had missed several grains of rice, he glared at Yan Maoqing angrily with one eye, frightening Yan Maoqing to become serious quickly.
"I'll tell you a way!"
Yan Shifan picked up the rice and said dullly: "Not only can I make the person who takes the case... no, the person who takes the case has to take it, but I can also make Qin Hui and Cai Jing both willing!"
"oh?"
Yan Maoqing was startled and looked at Yan Shifan with bright eyes. His hands picked up the rice a little faster: "What good idea does the young prime minister have?"
When Yan Shifan saw that he was working hard, he stopped showing off and said bluntly: "This matter is so big. At the court meeting tomorrow, you can just ask the little emperor to hold a court meeting!"
"Ting meeting?"
Yan Maoqing was startled at first, and then became ecstatic: "That's right! If we hold a court meeting, we have to do what He Shen and those gangs are doing!"
Yan Maoqing was so pleasantly surprised that he couldn't help but dance: "The young prime minister is really strategizing and winning thousands of miles away! He is also a god!"
It's just that there are some things that can easily lead to sadness when you are extremely happy.
When Yan Maoqing was waving his hands, he forgot that he was still holding a handful of rice and putting it into the bag.
With such a wave, not only did the rice not go in, but the bag was thrown out, hitting the face of the "God Man" directly, and the rice in the bag also flowed out.
Luo Longwen was startled, crouched down and silently took half a step back.
"Fuck your mother!"
Yan Shifan was furious: "I have been busy for a long time and it was all in vain!"
Yan Maoqing smiled sarcastically and helped the young prime minister take off the bag from his face: "I'll come, I'll come, I'll pick it all up."
The green-headed ducks happily gnawed on the ground. Today is the happiest day for eating.
