In Qin Dewei's heart, the case of beating people on the street has been closed and is a thing of the past.
For the public, the Ministry of Punishment has already finished its sentence; for the private, it can be considered revenge by throwing back a basin of dirty water and spraying you, Li Kaixian, as a villain who flatters Huo Tao.
So Qin Dewei had forgotten about the case and arrested Feng Xingke from the main court.
Then he made arrangements: "Today I will go to the right gate of Chang'an. The main reason is that as a filial son, I will kneel down and beg the officials in the past for help. I will kneel down until the afternoon at least."
Feng Xingke touched the knee pads he had prepared and nodded.
"It's still not enough." Qin Dewei looked at Feng Xingke and thought for a while: "I'll add some props today and tie you up with a rope. This is called self-binding and begging to be tortured on behalf of my father."
The servant of the Feng family found some hemp ropes, but due to his inferiority, he was not willing to tie up the young master, so he had to say: "Mr. Qin, you should do it."
But Qin Dewei had never studied the art of binding the human body. In the end, he could only wrap the hemp rope around Feng Xingke's arm a few times and tie a knot behind his back.
Arriving outside the right gate of Chang'an, Qin Dewei told Feng Xingke again: "Today, at least we must insist on kneeling until afternoon.
If you really can't bear it anymore, pretend to be weak and faint, and then let your family members carry you away."
Feng Xingke nodded solemnly and knelt firmly on the roadside.
Qin Dewei cheered and said: "Come on! I have something to do today, so I'll leave first."
Feng Xingke raised his head in surprise and said, "Mr. Qin, won't you accompany me?"
Qin Dewei touched Feng Xingke's head: "I am too dazzling, and standing by will easily disturb your miserable atmosphere.
Moreover, I am not your Feng family member. If you stand nearby, others may easily think that I am instigating you. In this way, in the eyes of others, your filial piety will not be so pure."
Feng Xingke: ""
Qin Dewei left the right gate of Chang'an and went to Huanghuafang to find Xu Miaoxuan according to the address.
We first came to Lumi Hutong and after asking around a few times, we found the residence of Xu Miaoxuan's sister and brother.
He knocked on the door for a long time, but no one answered. Then he waited outside the door until noon, but no one from the Xu siblings came back.
Qin Dewei also made an appointment today to have dinner at his uncle Wang Yiqi's house, but he couldn't wait any longer.
So I could only borrow pen, ink and paper from my neighbor's house and wrote a short message to Xu Miaoxuan. Then I folded it and stuffed it into the courtyard door.
Then Qin Dewei went to Uncle Wang Yiqi's house. Uncle Wang's errand had already been decided.
With the minister of the Ministry of War and the censor of Qiandu in the right, he is the prime minister of river and canal affairs. The government office is located in Huai'an Prefecture and will take office soon.
So tonight's meal is a bit of a farewell, and Qin Dewei must go.
Huai'an Mansion is where Shen Kun and Wu Chengen live, and it is not far from Lidongzhu in Yangzhou. Qin Dewei wrote a few letters and asked Uncle Wang to take them there. There was also a letter from Zeng's father-in-law. He would definitely pass by it when he went south along the canal.
From Liaocheng.
"What's going on between you and Li Kaixian, the head of the Ministry of Personnel?" Wang Yiqi asked this first after seeing Qin Dewei.
Qin Dewei said nonchalantly: "It's nothing, everything is over."
Qin Dewei thought that his uncle told him about his imprisonment. After all, he came out too quickly, so it was very possible that his uncle would find out later.
"What has passed?" Wang Yiqi said: "Today I went to the Metropolitan Procuratorate to collect customs and met with the General Constitution. He said that he would try it again."
It turns out that Wang Yiqi, the Prime Minister's Hecao errand, is actually a governor's errand, so he added Youqiandu Censor, and it is more appropriate to call him Hecao Governor.
Governors all use the imperial envoy system and do not need official seals. They use imperial envoys to obtain customs and defenses from the Metropolitan Procuratorate before traveling.
Wang Yiqi went to the Metropolitan Procuratorate today to handle this matter, and then met Wang Tingxiang, and then naturally talked about Qin Dewei.
It just so happened that today Dali Temple actually questioned the Ministry of Punishment's decision on the case of "Qin Dewei assaulting Li Kaixian" and then sent the case to the Metropolitan Procuratorate for retrial.
This made Wang Tingxiang very angry. He knew the relationship between Wang Yiqi and Qin Dewei, so he told the matter without hesitation.
"Is there such a thing?" Qin Dewei was also very surprised after hearing his uncle's story.
The first reaction was: Could it be that this Dali Temple had a seizure? Why should such a case be retried?
Wang Yiqi sighed: "This retrial will make it difficult for the General Constitution to handle."
Qin Dewei nodded with deep understanding. He was not a political novice, but he could still hear the elegant meaning of string music.
This situation shows that someone above Li Kaixian took action, and this person was confident enough to suppress Wang Tingxiang. Otherwise, how could he dare to ask the Metropolitan Procuratorate to retrial?
If the Metropolitan Procuratorate still indulges itself, they will definitely attack Wang Tingxiang for engaging in favoritism and dereliction of duty.
If ordinary people attacked like this, then Wang Tingxiang probably wouldn't care at all.
But if a big shot who is confident that he can suppress Wang Tingxiang takes action, Wang Tingxiang will at least feel uncomfortable.
Unexpectedly, a matter that was thought to be over would stir up trouble again. Qin Dewei said angrily:
"Is there any end for these people? Living in a temple and not thinking about serving the country, are they just thinking about fighting every day?
Zong Xian is an upright man and had no intention of getting to know them in the first place, but he didn’t expect them to be so persistent in their pursuit.”
Wang Yiqi also heard many rumors and added: "It's not just aimed at Wang Tingxiang, it's also aimed at you.
After all, you belittled the Eight Talents of Jiajing too harshly, and Wang Shenzhong lost too miserably at your hands. This is their biggest black spot in recent times."
Qin Dewei was also speechless about this. When Wang Tingxiang asked for help, he thought he was just a literary rival.
This kind of thing has been done many times in the past. Otherwise, how could Qin Dewei become famous so quickly in Nanjing?
So he didn't pay much attention to the assistance this time. After the fight, it was completely over, and it was not worth remembering.
Who would have known that the impact would continue to this day, and that the incident in the literary world would actually evolve into a political issue.
Even Wang Tingxiang, who asked him to help him, was unexpected now, right?
But it was impossible to be afraid. Qin Dewei said to Wang Yiqi: "Uncle, please don't worry, don't worry about me! These are just people, chickens, and dogs."
At this moment, a servant suddenly came over in a hurry and reported: "Master! Xia Shangshu of the Ministry of Rites is here!"
Qin Dewei was surprised. His uncle actually kept it secret. He still had such a relationship?
Master Xia's status is much higher than that of Master Wang. It's really imaginative that he took the initiative to visit Master Wang so late at night.
Wang Yiqi shook his head and said, "I'm not familiar with Uncle Zong, but I'm sure he's definitely here to find you."
Wucao! Qin Dewei was even more surprised. It must be a big deal to make the arrogant Master Xia lower his body and find someone like this!
Wang Yiqi must have learned more political information than Qin Dewei. Although the details are unclear, an outline can be judged:
"I guess the eldest uncle is going to have a fight with someone, and you happen to be of use, and your weight is not light. You have to think carefully, whether to see you or not?"
