Chapter 100: The court is not about murder, it is about human nature.
Ye Qing, who felt uncomfortable all over and full of vigilance in his heart, didn't know what to say at this moment. He could only keep his hands and bow, waiting for the other party to speak, so that he could use his tactics.
At the same time, I secretly thought in my heart:
"I have only been here for a short time and have not provoked anyone except Shan Dan. Is it possible that Zhu Gaoli is Dan Dan's man?"
A moment later.
He felt his waist began to feel stiff and numb, but Zhu Gaoli still did nothing.
Crunch!
The collision sound of Wenwan walnuts is faster and louder.
Ye Qing could feel Zhu Gaoli's pride now.
Another ten breaths passed.
The sound disappears.
Zhu Gaoli said lightly: "Get up."
Ye Qing straightened up, took a deep breath, and exhaled slowly, still with a gentle smile on his face:
"Thank you, sir!"
"I have given you a little punishment, why do you still thank me?" Zhu Gaoli looked at Ye Qing playfully and asked, "Do you know why I treat you like this?"
Ye Qing, who cannot avoid good or bad luck, saw Zhu Gaoli's attitude and cursed a few times in his heart, but his expression remained gentle:
"When a subordinate does something wrong, it is good for the subordinate to be punished."
"As for why you treat me like this, I really don't know."
Zhu Gaoli, whose eyes became more and more playful, moved his body, placed the Wenwan walnut in his hand on the table, and said:
"Liu Weikang is my man."
After a pause, Zhu Gaoli looked at Ye Qing's expression and looked moved, and continued: "My brother-in-law."
In an instant, Ye Qing understood.
He took a deep breath, bowed his hands again, and said bitterly:
"Sir, I know this, but I don't know how to defend myself or how to persuade you to spare me."
"I just hope that the adults can take the punishment lightly."
Ye Qing was not the criminal, but he was given a lighter sentence. This word was wrong.
But it also showed that Ye Qing completely recognized this unreasonable disaster.
Zhu Gaoli was shocked by Ye Qing's frankness.
He narrowed his eyes, supported the table with both hands, stood up slowly, and walked to Ye Qing's side.
With a broad body, even though he was not as tall as Ye Qing, the pressure brought by the superior made Ye Qing purse his lips slightly.
The big hand of Pu Fan stretched out and landed on Ye Qing's shoulder.
The heavy force made Ye Qing's stiff shoulders become shorter.
He couldn't help but secretly thought: "What a strong arm. This Zhu Gaoli must have been born in the army."
The next moment.
Ye Qing suddenly raised his head and looked at Zhu Gaoli in shock, unable to believe what he said.
Just listen to Zhu Gaoli's deep voice:
"Liu Weikang, that bastard, brought it upon himself, and I have long been displeased with him, so I have given him some warning."
"I really deserved to end up like this."
"However, he is my brother-in-law after all. You are unlucky because this matter happened because of you. If I don't come forward, those who follow me will not be able to account for it."
"If you understand this, it will be easier to explain."
If you understand clearly, the anxiety in Ye Qing's heart will go away. He nodded and said:
"My lord, what you are saying is, what do you want to do with your subordinates? Your subordinates will listen."
Zhu Gaoli raised his hand and patted Ye Qing, pinched his shoulders and said, looking at his thin but actually strong shoulders:
"The first thing is to teach me that scoundrel, and the second thing is that after you finish your work for this period of time, you will follow me for three months."
After finishing speaking, Zhu Gaoli saw Ye Qing's lips moving slightly and stopped him directly:
"Don't say anything. The prefect has already agreed. Just follow me honestly."
Raising his palm, Zhu Gaoli returned to the chair and waved to Ye Qing.
Ye Qing, who was no longer worried in his heart, bowed to Zhu Gaoli and said:
"Yes, sir."
After a pause, Ye Qing said sincerely:
"Thank you for your magnanimity, sir!"
Seeing Zhu Gaoli nod, he turned and left.
However, when he turned to leave, Ye Qing was filled with confusion.
That was his brother-in-law. Even if he was unlucky enough to be hit by a gun, Liu Weikang deserved it.
The conditions for punishment shouldn’t be so simple, right?
I thought about what Zhu Gaoli said about staying with him for three months.
Ye Qing couldn't help but become worried.
Presumably, these three months will not be easy by then.
Picking up Wen Wan walnuts again and playing with them in his hands, Lord Tongzhi of the fifth rank of Huaiyang Prefecture lamented:
"Good boy, no wonder that guy hasn't visited us for several years."
…
The backyard of the government office.
He Wen saw Ye Qing coming out and said with concern:
"That guy didn't give you any trouble, did he?"
Ye Qing, who looked puzzled, shook his head and said:
"No, he just asked me to teach his young master, and he also asked me to stay with him for three months after this period of work is over."
He Wen's eyes widened for a moment, and he said sourly:
"Master Tongzhi wants you to stay with him for three months?"
Ye Qing, who noticed something wrong with He Wen's expression, said curiously:
"Is this still a good thing?"
He Wen nodded quickly. Seeing that Ye Qing's expression didn't seem to be fake, he signaled to go out and patiently explained:
"After the magistrate took office, Tongzhi took the initiative to release his power, and even fully cooperated with the magistrate to gain a foothold in Huaiyang Mansion."
"The magistrate was grateful and handed over the work of the inspection department to Tongzhi."
"Originally, because of the special nature of Huaiyang City, the Inspection Department was just a decoration. The passes inside and outside Huaiyang City were under the jurisdiction of Yangzhou Guards."
"Afterwards, the prefect sat down to the east and invited General Zhenwei, the commander of Yangzhou Guard, to have dinner with him, and asked Yangzhou Guard to release the Yinghe Port under the jurisdiction of Huaiyang Prefecture and hand it over to the Inspection Department."
"The Yinghe River connects the north and the south, and water transportation taxes are very high. This is equivalent to giving a piece of oily meat to Lord Tongzhi."
"You said, if you stayed with him for three months, wouldn't you benefit much?"
Gudong!
Ye Qing swallowed a mouthful of saliva, his eyes widened as he listened to the twists and turns.
The next moment, he hesitated:
"His brother-in-law Liu Weikang got in because of me."
"No good thing will happen to me, right?"
He Wen continued: "I haven't finished speaking yet, so don't worry."
He stretched out his hand and counted three times:
"Sir Tongzhi was originally from the Yangzhou Guard, and he fought side by side with General Zhenwei."
"General Zhenwei even asked Master Tongzhi to help train the soldiers on weekdays."
"Master Tongzhi brought three people with him before. In the end, these three people either had strong kung fu or were junior generals in the army."
"Tell me, is it a great thing for Mr. Tongzhi to take you for three months?"
"As for what you said, it's nothing. Master Tongzhi has long since reconciled with his wife."
"That fellow Liu Weikang, Master Tongzhi whipped him countless times in front of all his colleagues in the government office because of his corruption."
"Master Tongzhi said that if my son hadn't liked this uncle who loves to buy food toys, he would have skinned him long ago."
Ye Qing still didn't believe it in his heart, but he had a great change of heart towards the master Tongzhi who made him bow and show his power for a quarter of an hour.
He is resolute, upright, straightforward, and can assess the situation.
At the same time, he even sighed in his heart:
"This is a smart person. He uses retreat to advance, takes the initiative to delegate power, and gains the trust and favor of the prefect. Then he gets greater benefits."
"The Lord Magistrate is sitting in the east, inviting General Zhenwei. I think he is borrowing from the old friendship between Lord Zhi and General Zhenwei."
"Using Tongzhi as a bond, the three parties can reach a consensus and achieve mutual benefit."
"The court is not about overt and covert fighting, fighting and killing, it is all about human nature."
then.
Ye Qing asked:
"Let's not talk about this for now. The subsequent investigation may be dangerous."
"I'm not that good at running, so I just run faster. How about you?"
Without waiting for He Wen to answer, Ye Qing frowned again and said:
"The prefect asked us to investigate the case and call Yan San."
"But can he do it alone?"
"A Qilin Son from a Poor Family, a Young Master Unparalleled in the World"
