Chapter two hundred and forty-seven is it a coincidence?
Following Qin Sile, Li Gui didn't walk a few steps before he saw the front of the outer courtyard surrounded by a crowd, and there were some faint noises coming from inside.
After passing through the crowd, before entering the courtyard, he heard someone in the courtyard yelling: "You shameless maidservant, it's your honor for my young master to invite you to drink with me, how dare you push back!" Li Gui frowned, no.
He stopped and led Zhang San and Qin Sile in.
There was a small sedan parked in the middle of the yard. A middle-aged man in a silk coat, who seemed to be the leader, was standing next to the sedan and cursing. On the other side of the house, there were three or four domestic slaves, dragging a woman from inside the door.
.In addition, there were two or three house slaves scattered around, looking on with smiles.
However, the little lady pinched the doorframe tightly and struggled hard. Her hairpins were scattered across her temples and her skirt and coat were messy. She was very pitiful. She just faced the door and couldn't see everything.
The middle-aged leader jumped to his feet and cursed: "A bunch of idiots! Are you going to fight until the end of the year?
Quickly lift each person up by one hand and one foot and throw them into the sedan!"
Looking at the scene in front of him, Li Gui couldn't help but have a strange idea in his mind. He traveled through time for almost two years, and finally triggered the random task of "stopping the robbery of civilian girls"? The only drawback is that he doesn't seem to be a civilian girl.
Just as Li Gu was thinking wildly, Qin Sile shouted "Stop!" and then rushed to the door to stop him, but was stopped by the servants outside.
The middle-aged leader turned around and saw Qin Sile, laughed a few words, and continued to direct the great cause of robbing people.
Li Gui didn't say anything, and Zhang San, the long-time follower, saw that his master had no instructions, so he didn't move either.
Although the woman struggled more violently and even kicked off one of her shoes, she could not withstand the strength of several evil slaves. She was finally carried out of the room and thrown into the sedan chair.
Li Gu finally got a clear look at her face, and what he saw was the beautiful female musician who volunteered to accompany her to the party on the Holy Birthday Festival more than half a month ago.
Li Gui has experienced many affairs in the past two years, and has seen many beauties and famous prostitutes, so he usually doesn't keep it in mind. The reason why he can leave an impression on her is because she is elegant and restrained, and looks like a good family, so she is among all the romantic women.
Look different.
At that time, she only joked a few words, but was summoned by the Queen Mother to leave, and nothing happened after that. It turned out that she was a relative of Qin Sile, and it seemed that Qin Sile had deliberately arranged for her to perform that day.
The middle-aged leader shouted "Get up the sedan chair" and, like a victorious general, asked his troops to return to the court.
Li Gui remained silent, as if he was watching without any involvement, and even moved a few steps to the side to make way for the door, as if he was walking slowly without leaving.
Zhang San was very surprised. He didn't know what kind of medicine his master was selling in his gourd.
Seeing that his niece was about to be snatched away, Qin Sile shouted in desperation: "Cabinet Li Zhongshu should not be so presumptuous in front of me!"
The name "Cabinet" sometimes scares people, but it can't scare people who are truly powerful. It doesn't matter if someone is a scholar, unless a bachelor is brought in.
However, Li Gui's reputation has risen recently, and the shadow of a famous tree must be different from ordinary people. Even if the ears and eyes are not very good, you can still see that a seventh-grade man was impeached by three-digit memorials for half a month, and he successively competed with three
The feud between the two elders has remained unchanged till now. Who would believe him if he said that he did not have a strong background? Besides, there was also a story about chatting and laughing with the Queen Mother on the Holy Birthday Festival, which should not be taken lightly.
Sure enough, when the middle-aged leader heard Li Gui's name, he stopped and looked at Li Gui for a few times. But Mr. Li stood there calmly and did not move at all, not looking like he was trying to stop him.
But he was still a little wary of Li Gui. He tentatively ordered his men to continue lifting the sedan outward, but saw that Mr. Li had no reaction at all.
So the middle-aged leader guessed that Li Zhongshu didn't want to meddle in other people's business. He quickly ran away with his men carrying the sedan, and Li Zhongshu changed his mind and got into trouble.
Qin Sile looked at his niece being forcibly taken away, and could hardly cry without tears. He didn't understand what Li Gui was thinking, and he stumbled and complained: "Master Li, this is evidence that she has Mr. Peng Ge!"
He said meaningfully: "What a coincidence."
"This matter is indeed blown up..." Li Gui interrupted Qin Sile unceremoniously and interjected: "It's really a coincidence, so good that I can't believe it."
Don't forget, Mr. Li is suspicious by nature. Although he hides it well in front of big people and friends, he never bothers to hide his suspicion and presumption of guilt when it comes to small people.
Working as a case adjudicator in Suzhou for a period of time even encouraged this problem in him. For example, Qin Sile today made him feel very suspicious...,
Qin Sile was stunned when he heard this, "Why did you say this, sir?" Li Gui sneered again and again: "I need to accuse Mr. Peng Ge at this time, and you just took the initiative to say yes. It's like falling from the sky when you are empty.
I got the meat pie, and it was such a surprise. What a coincidence, what a coincidence! But I have never believed in the good luck that comes for nothing, and I have never believed that there is such a coincidence in the world. To be honest, I have also
I have sent some good luck to others, but unfortunately those good lucks were all laced with [arsenic] frost. I would like to ask you, why do you dare to offend Mr. Ge in order to assist me?"
As he spoke, Li Gui pointed to the door and continued: "She happens to be on her, she happens to be someone I have seen before, she happens to be your niece, and she happens to be robbed again today. If you want anything, you can write a legendary poem.
.A series of coincidences, how much incense must be burned?"
Qin Sile had no choice but to smile bitterly and said: "Master Li, I have misunderstood! I have no ill intentions at all. Please listen to me carefully."
Li Gui snorted coldly and motioned for Qin Sile to continue.
It turns out that Qin Sile's niece's name is Cheng Saiyu. She was born into a wealthy family in Guli. Her family originally lived a stable and prosperous life. But her father Cheng, who is also Qin Sile's brother-in-law, made some mistake and saw others making a lot of money as a salt merchant.
, I also had this idea.
But you must know that under the dynasty system, salt merchants in the world are divided into ten categories, which are basically fixed and monopolized from beginning to end. Others who are not on the official list are not allowed to engage in official salt sales. Father Cheng wanted to be a salt merchant, so he
I had no choice but to spend some money to buy a replacement salt merchant from someone else, and at the same time, I also received more than a thousand dollars of salt from others.
It's a pity that Mr. Cheng only saw huge profits in the salt industry, but he didn't realize that the water here is unimaginably deep. There are really not many places in the world that are cleaner than this.
Apart from anything else, the salt guide is just a certificate. After the salt dealer gets the salt guide, he still needs to go to the designated salt field to collect salt, which is called Shou Zhi. If you can't get the salt, how much money will you make? If you don't have a strong relationship, you can keep the whole family.
Even if you go bankrupt, you won't be able to pay back the salt. There are even people who have survived for three generations and still can't pay back the salt.
In the hands of Mr. Cheng, he almost spent thousands of taels of salt to collect more than a thousand taels of salt. On the surface, he took advantage of it. The current official price of a salt is seven taels. Normally, it would cost a total of ten thousand taels of silver. But designated
Selling salt at Changlu Saltworks is a terrible place.
Changlu Saltworks is located on the coast of the Bohai Sea in North Zhili, very close to the capital, so you know.
All the salt imports obtained by various dignitaries through various channels like to go to the nearby Changlu Zhi Salt, so the number of salt imports in Changlu is much larger than the output. Cheng Lao is a newcomer in the salt industry and does not have a strong background. He can work in the salt industry.
It's crazy if you can get salt in a short period of time.
The Salt Administration was under the management of the Shandong Division of the Ministry of Accounts. It is said that Mr. Peng Ge left the Hanlin Academy and took root in the Ministry of Household Affairs. From being a doctor in the Shandong Division to becoming a shilang, minister, and then to the cabinet. With such huge influence, his family
The Fourth Young Master was a powerful figure in the Changlu Salt Farm, and he happened to jump in line and grab Father Cheng's salt.
For some unknown reason, Mr. Cheng, who did not understand the rules, offended Mr. Peng. Mr. Peng was furious and ordered the Salt Transportation Department to directly convict Mr. Cheng of possessing counterfeit salt and selling si salt.
Concurrent allocation of borders.
After the house was confiscated, the men were allotted, and the women were naturally sent to the Jiaofangsi. Cheng Saiyu, a good-natured boy,
My sister became a prostitute overnight. Fortunately, she had an uncle who worked as a music teacher in the Jiaofang Department, so he could barely take care of her.
Miss Cheng Saiyu's desire for revenge has never been extinguished, but she has been reduced to a prostitute. What skills do she have? However, she heard her fellow sisters jokingly talk about who can get close to Li Gui, a famous scholar in the south of the Yangtze River, and become famous in China, just like climbing a dragon's gate. The speaker has no intention.
, the person who heard it was interested, so that day I suppressed my shyness and took the initiative to ask for my company.
In her opinion, as long as she becomes famous, she can get to know more dignitaries and seek opportunities from them.
After Li Gui heard this, he looked at it seriously and kept thinking secretly.
The current situation is delicate. If what Qin Sile said is true, it would be fine in ordinary times. It may not have much effect. But at this sensitive time, it is obviously a God-given opportunity. Any crime will be infinitely magnified, let alone
Framing other people's lives and ruining their lives.
Nowadays, when it comes to involvement, if the Fourth Young Master Peng is convicted, Mr. Peng Ge will still be left with nothing to eat.
I heard Qin Sile say flatteringly: "I recently heard that Mr. Li and Mr. Peng Ge were quarreling, and I would like to help avenge them. That's why I invited you here today." Seeing the other party's attentive attitude, Li Gui smiled and said: "I'm sorry, sir.
Thank you very much. Do you have any evidence?" Qin Sile laughed along with him, "Yes, yes. Saiyu secretly hid the original salt bait. As long as it is verified to be true, his father's charges of fake salt bait will naturally disappear.
It proves that I was trapped." Suddenly, Mr. Li's face changed, and he sternly scolded: "Say! Who instigated you! How dare you think that I am like a three-year-old child!"
Qin Sile trembled violently. He thought he had convinced Mr. Li, but in the blink of an eye, Mr. Li spoke harshly and mercilessly.
Li Gui pointed at Qin Sile and said: "You, surnamed Qin, are just a small Sile. How can you have such knowledge? I don't believe how you can accurately grasp the situation at hand. Besides, you are not someone who is well versed in the inside story. Who is it?
You won't bet on me as a seventh-grade official!" He threatened again: "If you continue to make untrue remarks, if you are brave enough, I will try to see if I can govern you."
Qin Sile was frightened by Li Gu's threat, and secretly complained, why is Mr. Li so shrewd at such a young age? No matter how hard he tried, he couldn't win the other party's complete trust...,
"You don't want to say anything yet?" Li Gui nodded and said, "Then take your leave and see you later."
After thinking about it, revenge was more important. Qin Sile gritted his teeth and stepped forward to stop him, "Sir, wait! In fact, this was all taught by Wang Qinian and Wang Yushi! But what happened to the Cheng family is indeed true, and I will never dare to lie about it!"
Wang Qinian? Li Gui was surprised to hear this name and was stunned for a while. Wang Yushi of the Henan Province of the Metropolitan Procuratorate can be said to be the initiator of this dynasty dispute and also the pioneer general of Peng Ge Lao.
Now, all the dirty information about Peng Ge Lao is given to me, which one is it from?
Seeing that his master was deep in thought, Zhang San said to Qin Sile without bothering him: "Stop acting and call Miss Saiyu back quickly for my master to take a look at. Didn't you say there is still evidence in her hand?"
?" Qin Sile said with a sad face: "This is really a coincidence! He was indeed kidnapped, not deliberately arranged to act to gain sympathy!"!
