Li Lin was right. Yesterday, he and Fu San went to Jufu Zhai to kill people.
No wonder the scholar just kept staring at the scar on Fu San's jaw, and it turned out that he recognized his appearance.
This means that this guy dressed as a scholar also went to Bei City yesterday and also inquired around.
Seeing Chu Qing looking over, Zhang Yun smiled slightly, then turned around and walked quickly into Jingzhao Mansion.
By now, Chu Qing had calmed down, or in other words, he had not panicked at all.
He was panicking before because he didn't want to be exposed or get stuck in the quagmire.
But now that he has been "recognized", he has to move forward bravely. If he takes a step back, he will die without a place to die. If he cannot hide, then he must fight head-on.
Quickly walking over, Chu Qing looked Li Lin up and down.
"Li Laoer, right?"
Li Lin had a sneer on his face: "I never expected that the son of a mere left servant of the Ministry of Industry would dare to stir up trouble secretly. When did you become an official of the Ministry of Household Affairs? What rank did you live in? Who did you rely on?"
"you guess."
Li Lin was originally one of the Li family's think tanks. His expression changed again and again, and he said: "No wonder I asked Qiu Wanshan to warn you and then heard nothing from you again. I think it was Qiu Wanshan who took the advantage and let your Chu family go, and your Chu family didn't
I climbed up Qiu Wanshan and then got an official position in the Ministry of Household Affairs, yes or no."
Chu Qing said nothing.
Qiu Wanshan is nothing, my backer is the old guard.
But he was too lazy to explain so much, Chu Qing said with a smile: "You asked your little brother to report to the police that I am Chen Yan's accomplice. Someone saw me in Bei City. There is a witness who proves that I went to Jufuzhai and beat up Zhou Huyi."
Dun, I am most likely Chen Yan’s accomplice, that’s what you mean.”
"So what."
"Then when people from the Jingzhao Mansion ask you why the Li family is so concerned about this matter, how do you answer it?"
Li Lin laughed, his eyes filled with contempt.
Chu Qing understood.
There is no need to explain, because he is the second young master of the Li family. Even if the governor of Jingzhao Mansion knows that something is wrong, he can only "do business as usual."
"Do you know that Li Xunnan has been arrested?" Chu Qing said with a smile: "As for Chen Yan, he is now carrying a lawsuit for one life, that is, Zhou Hu, the death of Shouhou has nothing to do with him, as long as Li Xunnan
If we find a breakthrough there, your Li family will be doomed."
Li Mu's expression changed slightly.
Chu Qing looked at Li Mu closely, and his smile grew stronger after seeing this guy's face.
The reason why I mentioned this was, firstly, because the other party must have spies in Jingzhao Mansion, and secondly, I wanted to determine how much inside information Li Xunnan knew. Now it seems that, as he said, once Li Xunnan recruits, Chen Yan can clear away the suspicion.
, which can also bring the Li family into trouble.
"That's nonsense. I just heard that my Li family was captured in Bei City and came to inquire."
"Okay, okay, it doesn't matter if you don't admit it, but it's Young Master Li." Chu Qing asked cheerfully: "Normally speaking, because of me, Tao Shaozhang found out the tax money embezzled by your elder brother, and I hid it again.
After all this time, I can be considered a talent, so why don’t you try to recruit me?"
"Solicitation?"
"Yes, for example, if you see that I am young and have a bright future, you may tell me that I can't get along with Tao Shaozhang, so I might as well follow your Li family. How about that?"
"You deserve it too!"
Chu Qing's pupils shrank: "Recently, many people have said these three words to me. Do you know what happened to them!"
Under Chu Qing's gaze, Li Lin subconsciously took a step back and asked, "What's going to happen?"
"Tao Yao once said this. Now...he is eating well, but it's not that he is seriously ill."
Chu Qing was a little embarrassed, and then he frowned and said: "Tao Shaozhang also said such a thing, so... he is now... um..."
Chu Qing was even more embarrassed. It seemed that Tao Shaozhang was also living well.
"Yes!" Chu Qing laughed: "Chen Yan also said such a thing, so he became a wanted criminal and also owed usury loans..."
"What does it have to do with you if he ends up like this?"
Chu Qing was stunned.
Yes, people who say "you are worthy" to themselves seem to be living a good life. Only Chen Yan is a bit miserable and becomes a wanted criminal. However, it doesn't seem to have much to do with him.
Fu San sneered: "Anyone who said these three words to my young master will have a good end. The prince's young master fell seriously ill, Tao Shaoqing was injured, and Mr. Chen was pursued by the capital..."
After a pause, Fu San concluded: "My young master is a broom star!"
Li Lin: “…”
Chu Qing sighed and waved to Fu San: "You can go to the back and stand there. Stop talking without my permission."
"Young man, tell the truth."
"roll!"
"oh."
It's no wonder that Fu San is a pig teammate. Chu Qing brought it up first, pretending not to understand, Fu San just helped him find a way to get off. Besides, to be honest, Chu Qing is quite "conquering" others.
.
Just when I was about to talk about the scene again, three people walked out of Jingzhao Mansion. In addition to Zhang Yun and Tao Shaozhang, there was also a slightly fat middle-aged man wearing a green jade belt and a third-grade official robe. It was Yin Ma of Jingzhao Mansion.
Rui.
Ma Rui's appearance can be said to be extraordinary, with thick eyebrows, big eyes and handsome facial features. Although he is a bit stout, it can be seen that he was a handsome man when he was young.
Zhengsanpin, that is, the existence that reaches the sky in the court. You must know that the six ministers are the Zhengsanpin, and among the nine temples, except for Dali Temple and Honglu Temple, all other temple ministers are from the third grade.
But in fact, Ma Rui, the third-rank official, is very influential. To be precise, the official position of Jingzhao Prefecture Yin is very influential.
The governor of Jingzhao Prefecture is in charge of Changjing. At the most serious level, he has the right to mobilize the guards of the capital. At the most minor level, they are responsible for catching petty thieves.
To put it another way, Jingzhao Mansion can control everything, but it cannot control anything.
For example, it has been raining these past few days. The terrain of Bei City is low and there is water accumulation in many places. Jingzhao Prefecture needs to send people to see how to fix it. It belongs to the road administration.
But in fact, Jingzhao Prefecture has no practitioners in related fields, so it has to ask the Ministry of Industry.
For example, in the matter of arresting Chen Yan, soldiers and policemen went to do it, but how to investigate the matter of conviction, because officials were involved, and the Ministry of Punishment was responsible.
Jingzhao Mansion puts it bluntly, they are just errands, they do all the dirty work.
If that's the case, forget it, it's mainly because you are being offended.
The governor of Jingzhao Mansion is a third-rank official, but because he is responsible for many miscellaneous things, he does not have to go to court.
Therefore, when many ministers were criticized by the emperor in the palace, they directly blamed Jingzhao Mansion. The governor of Jingzhao Mansion did not go to court anyway.
Let’s take the two things of building roads and arresting people as examples. The emperor was not happy and scolded the Ministry of Industry for being a bunch of losers who couldn’t understand how to level the road. Then the people from the Ministry of Industry said, we don’t have enough manpower, so they mobilized Jingzhao
The servants and soldiers of the government turned out to be unprofessional, and then the emperor gave Jingzhao Mansion a slap in the face.
It's like the Ministry of Punishment arrested someone, but failed to arrest them, and the Emperor scolded them. They said that it had nothing to do with us, the Ministry of Punishment, and that it was the Jingzhao Prefecture's inability to cooperate with us, and then the Emperor scolded the Jingzhao Prefecture again.
Anyway, you can go to Jingzhao Mansion for anything. After all, they can take care of everything, but they can't take care of anything deeply.
In addition, sometimes the six departments or nine temples did not understand what was done, and the person in charge was an old minister, and the emperor was not willing to scold him too harshly. Many things were excusable, so why not say anything? It felt like the emperor was rewarding
The punishment seems unclear, so... continue to spray Jingzhao Mansion!
Over time, Jingzhao Mansion became the number one scapegoat in Dachang, and Jingzhao Mansion Yin, a third-rank official of the Chang Dynasty, became the number one scapegoat in the imperial court!
It can be seen from this that the third-rank official of Jingzhao Prefecture is very frustrated.
Normally, the rank of Shaoqing of Dali Temple is the fourth rank. Because Tao Shaozhang was from a related household, he rose too quickly and his time as an official was short, so he was ranked from the fourth rank.
He, a fourth-rank official, entered Jingzhao Mansion and dared to slap the table and scold Ma Rui, the governor of Jingzhao Mansion, who was in the third rank, saying that all the servants in Jingzhao Mansion were a bunch of losers.
This shows that the governor of Jingzhao Mansion is very cowardly.
As soon as we learned the whole story through Tao Shaozhang, Zhang Yun ran in again, saying that Li Lin, the second son of the Li family, was visiting and that he had caught a "suspect" outside.
Li Lin didn't even have an official position, so Ma Rui ran out anyway.
