Under the thoughtful attention of Li You and Gao Yuntong, Jin Wanwan approached the foyer and saw the shattered stone lion. He was secretly stunned at his son-in-law's courage. Seeing the posture of his son-in-law and his in-laws, he knew that the two of them were
We were at a stalemate, but I was happy that I came at the right time.
Before noon, Li You muttered to him, "If you don't take it from God, you will take the blame." After leaving, Jin Wanwan became entangled. His son-in-law was obviously not a fuel-efficient person, and he must have some agenda when he left.
At that time, he had two choices, either to tip off the news to his parents-in-law, or to pretend to be deaf and dumb, but neither was appropriate.
If Gao Yun is tipped off to Comrade Gao Yun, his son-in-law's plans may be ruined, and he will probably harm this son-in-law who has a bright future and can be relied on for decades. Recently, the relationship has finally improved somewhat.
But if he pretends to be deaf and dumb, then after Gao Yuntong is repaired by Li You (Jin Yuanbai doesn't understand why he has such a positive idea), he will definitely be angry at him for not reporting his knowledge. This is not what he wants.
In desperation, the experienced officer Jin had his own way. He sent a dozen domestic slaves to inquire about the situation and report back immediately.
When he learned that Li You did not return to the county government, but went directly to the garrison department camp and dispatched hundreds of officers and soldiers to attack the Salt Transport Department, he was glad that he did not act recklessly. When he learned that Gao Yun had come out
When he met Li You, he immediately boarded the sedan and rushed to the Yamen of Yanyun Division, which was two miles away.
Jin Wanwan's idea is that Li You is young and energetic and holds real power. According to his consistent performance, he must be aggressive and unforgiving when he is reasonable. Otherwise, he is not Li You.
And Gao Yun was also a figure at the top of the food chain in Yangzhou, and his face was also very high. Just think about it, how could he be willing to bow his head and beg for mercy to a young junior? Besides, Gao Jun's mistake was because of his mother-in-law's instruction, and they were mutually exclusive.
They were all related to each other. It would be too much to insist that they were robbing officials and their families. Gao Yuntong probably felt aggrieved by this.
If a person is confident and powerful and has a strong army, while the other person is of high status and does not want to compromise, the two people will inevitably reach a stalemate, and when the stalemate persists, both of them will definitely feel in a dilemma.
At this time, his worth of millions of dollars is reflected. As long as he makes peace in the middle, so that both sides have a step, the matter can be resolved, and at the same time, both sides have to think of his kindness.
With this wishful thinking in mind, Jin Wanwan said to Li You: "My good son-in-law left so fast. I just thought that you were upset and there might be trouble. If you hurry up and hurry up, you are still a step too late."
"Thank you, father-in-law, for telling me the inside story. Otherwise, my son-in-law would still be in the dark and would not know that he would come to Mr. Gao to look for Sister Bao." Li You thanked him warmly and in a friendly tone.
When Gao Yuntong heard this, he became suspicious. Could it be that Jin Wanwan knew that Mrs. Xie and Gao Jun had teamed up to detain Jin Baoer in the Yanyun Department office, so instead of telling him to settle the matter quietly, he revealed it to Li You first?
This is purely to embarrass him! Can things be done like this? What does Jin Wanwan mean? However, Mr. Gao is a bit arrogant and does not show anything on his face. He only said: "Young people are ignorant and made a joke.
, In-laws, you are the father of Sister Bao, so you should say some fair words."
Jin Wanwan also heard that something was wrong with what Li You said, and quickly said: "You two are not outsiders, why are you like this..."
"Wait a minute!" Li You interrupted Jin Wanwan, "Master Gao, what you said is wrong. Sister Bao's body deed is in my hands, and she is a member of my Li family. There is no need for Mr. Jin to make things difficult here."
Li You said to Jin Wanwan very intimately: "You don't have to be in a dilemma here. The things my son-in-law promised will not change because of this incident."
What did you promise me? Jin Wanwan suddenly felt that it was a mistake for him to come here.
Gao Yuntong was impatient to see their husband-in-law acting harmoniously here, "What do you want, Mr. Li?"
Li You turned his face and scolded Gao Yuntong: "What nonsense are you talking about, Gao! It's not what I want, it's what you want! Your young master hijacked my family and has never shown up until now.
, Is this the way to be a human being? Is this the tutor of your Gao family!"
Gao Yuntong glanced at the hundreds of officers and soldiers outside the gate. Is this a normal way of asking for explanation? He was just afraid that his son would be kidnapped after he came out of the inner office and his whereabouts are unknown. The Du family was wiped out recently.
But it reached his ears.
At this moment, Lord Ding, the salt transport envoy, quietly appeared surrounded by his subordinates. He was very eye-catching in his scarlet clothes.
Li You, as the local chief seal officer, could act arrogantly when faced with the official envoy of the second rank of Zuo, but when he saw the official envoy of the third rank, Li You could not be too rude and went forward to bow.
This Ding Yunshi is one of the best figures in Yangzhou City, but he is very low-key. Li You has been in Yangzhou City for several months, but he still doesn’t know much about Ding Yunshi and rarely hears rumors about him. For example, last time
The new Minister of Rites Shuhai came to Yangzhou, and Li You officially appeared in Yangzhou officialdom for the first time. He originally wanted to see what kind of person Ding Yunshi was, but after the incident, in retrospect, he seemed to have no regard for Ding Yunshi.
An unimpressive feeling.
Gao Yuntong recounted the story, and Ding Yunshi frowned. Li Youzhen was making a fuss out of a molehill and mobilizing troops to stage a battle. He really didn't take the Salt Transport Department seriously. But Gao Yun's son really did something wrong, especially
To mess with a difficult person like Li You.
He glanced at the small sedan parked quietly not far away, and said to Li You sharply: "After all, having your family members robbed is not a good reputation. You don't know much now, so you must act in a public way?"
Li You replied: "What Mr. Ding said is wrong. It was not that the female family members were robbed. We are all relatives, so..."
"Yes, yes, we are all relatives. It would be nice if we could write to clear up the misunderstanding." Jin Wanwan interjected. He realized that he seemed to be too affectionate with Li You just now, causing dissatisfaction with the other in-laws. At this time, he should seize the opportunity to make amends.
.
Gao Yuntong was disdainful. Li You really bullied the weak and feared the strong. When he met Yunshi, he immediately softened his tone.
Li You continued: "So after careful consideration by me, I found that this was not a thief kidnapping an official's family, but a sister and her brother-in-law teaming up to kidnap my sister. I need to investigate the reason carefully. Otherwise, I will encounter this even when I go home to visit my mother.
Who knows if there will be a next time? Can this relative still be able to move around? His generation can be a thief for a thousand days, but we don’t want to guard against thieves for a thousand days. What does Ding Yun think?"
Then he sighed: "It's so embarrassing that these three daughters are the only ones besides Yuan Jin who can't live in harmony with each other."
Ding Yunshi and Jin Wanwan were fine, but Gao Yuntong's face suddenly changed color on the spot when it was about his own life. Li You was definitely sarcastic!
A millionaire with a nickname and no son, so what is the most eye-catching thing to talk about? It must be the inheritance of a huge family property, and it is also the most talked about topic among ordinary people.
If there were rumors that the second daughter of the Jin family and her husband, the fourth son of the Gao family, had kidnapped the eldest sister, after careful analysis, what would others think? What if the Gao family was involved?
People's hearts were so far apart that Ding Yunshi could not be sure of Gao Yuntong's real thoughts on the issue of the Jin family's property, but he had to protect the dignity of the Salt Transportation Department. He glanced at the hundreds of soldiers who were eyeing him eagerly, and cursed in his heart.
The imperial court was so stupid that it actually gave Li You such great power. Otherwise, he wouldn't be in such a difficult situation. What if he ordered Yan Ding to beat Li You, a small official, out with a stick?
While Ding Yunshi was thinking about his words and reasoning, the maid waiting beside the sedan chair walked up to Li You, stretched out her little palm and unfolded a roll of cloth handkerchief.
What is this? Li You thought strangely, what he secretly gave Jin Baoer was just a paper dumpling, and what he taught Jin Baoer how to speak and testify was not such a roll of cloth.
He took the cloth and unfolded it. Wrapped inside was a silver hairpin, but the tip of the silver hairpin had turned black...
Ding Yunshi, Gao Yuntong, Jin Wanwan and even the youngest Li You are all experienced people, and their expressions have changed drastically. The silver hairpin turning black can only mean one thing, it has been stained with something containing arsenic.
.
"Where did it come from?" Li You turned around angrily and asked Xiaozhu.
Xiaozhu, with everyone behind his back, winked playfully at Li You and said in a weak voice: "This morning, Sister Jin took out her silver hairpin and dipped it in the porridge. She was so scared."
Li You's anger seemed to be extinguished in an instant. Although his face was expressionless, he was shocked in his heart. It seemed that Aunt Jin, who was usually good-tempered, had been angered...
Yes, Jin Baoer is a gentle and docile woman, a woman who has no fight with others, a weak but not weak woman, and a woman who cannot be judged by her appearance.
When encountering various situations, she always has some whimsical and magical ideas, which are more unpredictable than Mr. Li. For example, she once tricked Li You into sleeping with sister Li Mei by using aphrodisiacs. Anyone who judges people by their appearance will think that Jin Baoer is weak if she thinks she has a kind and gentle nature.
It's deceptive. I'm afraid it's all a mistake. The fourth young master of the Gao family and the second young lady of the Jin family made such a mistake.
Now that she is a kind-hearted person, she suddenly takes out a poisoned silver hairpin to pretend to be a victim. How angry she must be, Li You thought to himself. It seems that she still likes the Li family very much, or maybe it is because of the disconnection.
It's because she and her sweetheart daughter can't see each other for a few days.
Worried that the expression on his face would be seen, Li You quickly lowered his head. Then he saw the black silver hairpin in his hand. He wondered where Ms. Jin Baoer conjured this prop.
After finally restraining his laughter, Li You raised his head again. His eyes glanced back and forth between Gao Yuntong and Jin Wanwan, and finally settled on Gao Yuntong, but he just sneered and said nothing. Aunt Jin's move was quite contrary to his purpose.
This is a great help and saves you a lot of effort in talking.
Jin Wanwan was not clear about the thoughts of Gao Jun and his second daughter, but this was normal. People all eat whole grains. It was not an exaggeration for the young couple to have their own ideas for the family property, which was understandable.
At the same time, it is understandable that the wife does not want to make her eldest daughter a concubine. It is still understandable that the second daughter and the younger couple want to curry favor with his wife. It is also understandable that they are ignorant and just follow the rules. But poisoning relatives exceeds the bottom line.
Is this true or false? Jin Wanwan couldn't tell, and he didn't want to make this judgment rashly. But when he looked at Gao Tongzhi again, his mood became much more complicated, and he waited quietly for what the other party said.
Gao Yuntong knew that his son would never have the guts to do such a thing, but how to defend himself was a technical job and required careful consideration before speaking. However, he also had the idea that Mrs.
Could it be a trap for the eldest lady to hide?
In fact, before this, Li You had a conversation with Jin Wanwan and Gao Yuntong alone. However, Gao Yuntong and Jin Wanwan did not have a direct conversation. Nowadays, people are so talkative that no one has time to explain and think in detail.
, under Li You's eloquent words, both Jin Wanwan and Gao Yuntong gradually became a little preconceived by Li You.
At the critical moment, the silent envoy Ding Yun suddenly stood up and ordered his men to open the middle door, and the Lianghuai Salt Transportation Department immediately opened the door.
Then Mr. Ding said coldly to Li You: "You want to find an excuse to arrest Gao Yun's son? Now I have opened the door for you. You can put the officers and soldiers in to arrest you! I will never stop you! Yunku
There are 1,790,000 silver in it. If there is any slight loss, you are the only one to ask!"
Only Ding Yunshi can say this, not Gao Yuntong.
Does Li You dare? Obviously he doesn't. He relies on his power to launch cold shots outside, hitting a dozen stone lions to scare people is his limit, and leading the army to rush in to arrest criminals from the Yamen of the Sanpin Salt Transportation Division, he is not the only one
What the sixth grade should do.
But in the officialdom, everyone is constantly compromising in the struggle, and bluffing is common. Besides, Mr. Gao, who was protected by the Salt Transport Department, did make a mistake. But Ding Yunshi did not follow the rules and directly opened the door and shouted that if you have the guts, go in.
, it’s a bit of a joke!
Mr. Li, who was only allowed to set the fire himself and not allow others to light the lamps, hesitated and stood in the hall unable to move forward or retreat.
"You have strong soldiers and horses, if you dare, go in!" Ding Yunshi shouted again.
Li You stared at Ding Yunshi speechlessly. You, a third-grade official, are acting like a bachelor. You are really worthless!
Ding Yunshi saw Li You standing still and shouted again: "Li You, you are advancing but not advancing, retreating and refusing to retreat, what do you want!"
Mr. Li was scolded by Ding Yunshi and couldn't get off. He regretted that he had made the battle too big at the beginning... It would be too embarrassing if he came in with great momentum but retreated in despair. Do we have to force him to do this? I'm going to die.
Get the evidence to file a lawsuit before the imperial court!
Li You and Ding Yunzhi, two gamblers who had not revealed their cards, looked at each other in silence.
Suddenly, someone galloped on horseback and broke into the door of the Yunsi Yamen Office, breaking the tranquility of the stalemate for a moment. Someone rolled off the horse and shouted loudly: "There are six hundred miles of urgent edict to the county Yamen, together with the governor's Yamen transfer order!"
The current flood situation is urgent. County Master Li will immediately set off for the southern line of Hongze Lake to inspect river affairs without delay! Until the autumn flood is over!"
…
Li You snorted coldly, "Since the imperial court has handed over a critical task and ordered me to set off immediately, I don't have time to wait for you! We will settle the accounts together when I return to the city!"
Standing in the door, Gao Yun Tong bowed deeply to Ding Yunshi and said, "Thank you so much, sir, for repelling Li You and preventing him from succeeding in his evil plan."
Ding Yunshi watched Li You and the officers and soldiers go away, and said calmly: "You can't succeed? He has succeeded. From now on, can you and I still trust Jin Wanwan? And can Jin Wanwan still trust you and me?"
