This is what the so-called aristocratic family and family are like, one is prosperous and the other is depleted.
The Li family tree has deep roots and luxuriant branches and leaves. The thickest trunk is the left servant of the Ministry of Personnel, Li Lin's father.
Although Li Lin is white, he represents the Li family and the left minister of the Ministry of Civil Affairs.
It is precisely because of this that Ma Rui, the governor of Jingzhao Mansion, did not dare to neglect and came outside the government office in person.
Li Linneng represented the Li family in Beijing and interacted with dignitaries like a "social butterfly". Naturally, he was not an unreasonable person. He hurriedly stepped forward to greet him, bowed and saluted and called "sir", showing the expected courtesy.
Even when he saw Tao Shaozhang, who looked gloomy as water, Li Lin still bowed and saluted, calling him "sir" when he should, but he couldn't tell that he wanted to cut Tao Shaozhang into pieces.
After chatting for a moment, Ma Rui's eyes glanced at Li Lin and Tao Shaozhang for a moment.
Although he was the first scapegoat in the Dachang Dynasty, it does not mean that Ma Rui is a fool.
Tao Shaozhang investigated the Li family and made a fuss. How could he not know that the two of them were as powerful as fire and water?
According to Tao Shaozhang, it was not Chen Yan who committed the murder, but the one who was framed, the Li family, and Li Xunnan, a side branch of the Li family, was a participant.
Now Li Lin comes to Jingzhao Mansion, naturally because of this incident.
"Young Master Li." Ma Rui felt as if he was on a mirror, but he knew it and asked: "I heard from people who know that Mr. Li wants to report to the official?"
"That's right." Li Lin turned back and pointed at Chu Qing at the door of the Yamen Office: "The students suspect that this person is related to yesterday's murder case in Bei City."
Tao Shaozhang sneered and said: "What a joke, your relative Li Xunnan has been imprisoned in the Jingzhao Mansion Prison. It is clearly your Li family who framed the whole family, yet you still dare to spray blood on others."
Li Lin ignored Tao Shaozhang at all, just looked at Ma Rui and said: "Li Xunnan is indeed a relative of my Li family, but he is a distant relative. Even if he violates the laws of Chang, it has nothing to do with other Li family members."
I have to say that Li Lin was indeed very treacherous. He didn't know what happened specifically, but he was prepared for the worst. If Li Xunnan opened his mouth, he could just say he didn't know anything.
"However, the students did come here because of this incident. May I ask Mr. Ma, what did Li Xunnan commit?"
Without Ma Rui saying a word, Tao Shaozhang said: "I was sneaking around in Bei City and was encountered by my officer. I secretly followed him to a private residence and killed an idle man named Shouhou to silence me. Li Lin, don't you keep me here?"
You know how to pretend to be confused, do you really think that I can’t find out what your Li family did?”
Li Lin still looked at Ma Rui: "Sir, has Li Xunnan admitted it?"
"Not really. Li Xunnan said he was slandered because he saw Tao Shaoqing and the others going to the house of the thin monkey. After they went there, the thin monkey was killed by Tao Shaoqing and the others."
Li Lin smiled slightly: "That means...each one has his own opinion?"
Ma Rui said nothing, and Tao Shaozhang hummed: "I am the young minister of Dali Temple. How can I give false testimony? Not to mention that Chu Qing, the son of the left minister of the Ministry of Industry, also saw it with my own eyes."
"The son of the minister and the young minister of Dali Temple..." Li Lin shook his head: "Of course, he will not slander others for no reason, but if...if this life lawsuit involves you two, it would be difficult to say."
"Li Lin!" Tao Shaozhang said with an angry face: "How dare you spurt someone with blood."
I have to say that these two things are half the same.
Li Lin framed Chen Yan, but Tao Shaozhang also perjured himself to confuse the truth.
Ma Rui smiled bitterly.
It involves the Li family and the young minister of Dali Temple. He really can't control this kind of thing.
But in fact, if we go through the procedures, it is really the Jingzhao Prefecture’s responsibility.
In fact, Ma Rui roughly understood what was going on.
From a personal perspective, he believed in Tao Shaozhang.
After all, Tao Shaozhang's reputation is there. This kid is very stubborn and a fool, and the Li family has always been ruthless in doing things. When it comes to the fundamental interests of the family, it can be said that they will do whatever it takes.
But this is his personal opinion, but just because he believes in Tao Shaozhang, he cannot show that he is partial to others.
"Sir, the student also knows that you are in trouble. If Master Tao has evidence, the student will arrest him without hesitation. However, the son of the left minister of the Ministry of Industry went to Jufuzhai yesterday and beat someone up. Some people even saw Chen Yan there."
Looking at Tao Shaozhang, Li Lin was still smiling: "Master Tao can't deny this matter."
Tao Shaozhang's expression was gloomy and uncertain. It was indeed true, and he didn't know how to refute it for a moment.
"Master Ma, even if the son of Zuo Shilang didn't kill anyone, he beat someone up yesterday. He also had a good personal relationship with Chen Yan. The suspicion is very high. Shouldn't he be thrown into prison?"
Tao Shaozhang shouted without hesitation: "That's nonsense. It's true that he hit someone, but he didn't harm anyone!"
Pig teammates 1.
Li Lin laughed loudly: "Hitting someone is also a violation of Chang's law. He should be sent to Jingzhao Mansion Prison. The victim dies, and the suspicion is high."
"Li Lin, you have the ability to attack me!" Tao Shaozhang's eyes were blood red: "You are a man with evil thoughts who is trying to kill my friend. I, Tao Shaozhang, am at odds with you!"
"Master Tao, you said that Li Xunnan killed someone, and Li Xunnan also said that you killed someone. If you don't talk about it, Master Ma will find out the truth. But the son of the left minister of the Ministry of Industry beat someone, and countless people in the North City saw it.
Come on, you can’t turn a blind eye to this, maybe you, the young minister of Dali Temple, want to protect him."
"you…"
Seeing the two people arguing, Ma Rui sighed.
If he had a choice, he really didn't want to get involved in the fight between the Tao family and the Li family.
The former is a member of an aristocratic family with countless relatives, and the person at the helm is the Heavenly Official Zuo Shilang of the Ministry of Civil Affairs.
The Tao family is not bad either. Although it is a rising star, it is the same among the scholars in Changjing. Tao Yao is the prince's junior master.
It was easy to offend both sides, and he couldn't afford to offend either, but there was one person he could afford to offend, Chu Qing.
It's okay to keep making noises here. Ma Rui turned to look at Tao Shaozhang: "Tao Shaoqing hurt someone in Beijing, and he went to Jufuzhai with Chen Yan yesterday. Logically speaking, Chu Wensheng's son, I, must be taken into custody.
of."
"Master Ma, this..."
"Official duties are on hand. Tao Shaoqing should not embarrass me."
The person who can serve as the governor of Jingzhao Mansion is just an idiot. He has to learn to be smart by taking the blame every day.
He didn't want to offend the Li family, and of course, the Tao family didn't want to offend either.
But if he had to offend a family, he would choose the Tao family.
Because the Tao family is more reasonable, they are just a group of scholars, not as "ruthless" as the Li family.
Before Tao Shaozhang could speak again, Ma Rui turned around and the guards on both sides ran over.
Pointing to Chu Qing who was expressionless with his hands behind his back at the door, Ma Rui said: "Go, take the person to prison and write a confession before we talk."
Fortunately, Ma Rui left some room. Although he was put in prison, he did not say that he would be kept there forever. He would probably be released after recording a "confession". After all, Chu Qing was also the son of the minister of the Ministry of Industry and an official of the Ministry of Household Affairs.
Ma Rui was just doing Tai Chi, and was planning to send someone to the Ministry of Justice to see if the Ministry of Justice could take over. After all, officials from the Sixth Ministry were involved, and he, the Jingzhao Mansion, couldn't figure it out.
Tao Shaozhang also knew that it was useless to talk more, so he hurried to Chu Qing without saying goodbye.
"Master Chu, don't worry. I will go to the Chu Mansion to report to Mr. Chu. I will release you in half a day at most."
"Holy shit!" Chu Qing, who wasn't too worried at first, scolded: "You're trying to get a fucking use out of my dad. Is he easy to use?"
Tao Shaozhang didn't react for a moment: "Whose father are you looking for?"
"your dad!"
"Yes, yes." Tao Shaozhang was also confused and slapped his forehead: "I will go back home and ask dad to bail you out."
"You should make it clear to Lao Tao. I don't speak strictly. If he doesn't care about this, I might sell it to you."
Tao Shaozhang: "..."
Chu Qing turned back to look at Fu San: "He's looking for his father. You go to my father. You first go to the Ministry of Household Affairs to find Qiu Wanshan and Mr. Wei. Tell them about the situation. Then go back to the house and talk to my father about avoiding the important and taking the easy.
For a moment, just say it was a misunderstanding and tell him not to worry, the Tao family will sort it out for me."
"I understand, little one."
Li Lin looked at Chu Qing from a distance and sneered.
Tao Shaozhang used Li Xunnan as a breakthrough point, and Li Lin wanted to use Chu Qing as a breakthrough point. You must know that the Li family has installed more than one Li Xunnan in Jingzhao Mansion.
In addition to Li Lin, Ma Rui was also looking at Chu Qing, smiling bitterly.
Mr. Chu, Tao and Li are all great Buddhas. I can't afford to offend you, so I can only wrong you.
As everyone knows, Chu Qing is really good at "conquering" people. From the prince's young master to the sixth-rank official, he can defeat whomever he wants. Ma Rui, the governor of Jingzhao Prefecture, also has to memorize characters today.
