Chapter 250: Old Hu Seeking Relatives and Meeting the Prime Minister
Old Hutou did not dare to go to the hotel. He was afraid that he would miss the place, so he stood on the roadside where he had just met the Prime Minister. He stared and waited eagerly, finally hoping that the Prime Minister would come back from the next court.
Wang Shugui's sedan came over, and just as he was about to kowtow to the ground and open his mouth to cry out for injustice, someone reported that the owner of the sedan, the Prime Minister, opened the curtain of the sedan, waved his hand to him, and motioned for him to follow the sedan and tell him if he had anything to say.
The sedan bearers are all young and strong men, and eight people are carrying a thin old man. The load is not heavy, so the wind is blowing under the feet. The sixteen legs alternate in turn like a revolving lantern. Old Hu is old and has come from a long distance. , I have been so anxious these past few days that I haven’t even taken a few bites of food on time, how can I keep up? However, this matter is related to his daughter’s life, so he has no choice but to run all the way to the Prime Minister’s residence. The old man is already sweating profusely. , the whole body is like being washed with water
Entering the study, the Prime Minister asked people to sit down. A maid placed a cup of fragrant tea in front of Old Hu. Although Old Hu had a wealthy family, he was a rich man who came to Beijing. Although his throat was burning, he did not dare to look at the cup of tea. take a look
"Old man, what's your relationship with that person named Pan?" Wang Shugui sat upright and said coldly.
Old Hutou was puzzled: The son-in-law and daughter-in-law were also officials with a loud name in the court, and the marshal in charge of troops and horses was also an imperial envoy of the emperor. How come the surname Pan came to this old official's mouth? Could it be that? This pan is not the same as the other pan and Lao Hu is afraid of making mistakes, so he hurriedly explained:
"Prime Minister, the old master, Xiaomin's son-in-law is called Pan You'an. He was sent by the emperor to Huayang on official business, and later he was ordered to take command and lead 80,000 troops to put down the rebels."
"Then why did he become your son-in-law again? You didn't know he was a eunuch?" Wang Shugui rolled his eyes and said
"What, Old Enxiang, you said that my son-in-law is a eunuch?" Although Old Hu lives in a remote area and is ignorant, he does know what kind of person a eunuch is.
Wang Shugui pretended to be confused and deliberately sneered: "A eunuch is just an eunuch, how can this be false? Pan You'an works in the palace, and except for the emperor, he is surrounded by young and beautiful women who make people drool. How can the royal family allow him, a grown man, to have a penis in his crotch? Beat it with a big stick? Why, you don’t know about such a big thing, and your daughter didn’t tell you?”
"No!" Lao Hutou replied in Cantonese. He was immediately confused. No matter how bad his daughter is, she can't find a eunuch! Eight generations of ancestors have been lost. The one sitting opposite is the Prime Minister. The Prime Minister is the leader of one person and more than ten thousand people. The pillar of our country, how could he lie?
"Forget it," said Prime Minister Wang, "I won't bother you anymore. It's not easy for you to come all the way. You're still going back and forth from there!"
"No, no, no!" Mr. Hu shouted stubbornly, "My daughter is missing. I must find Pan You'an. Although he is a eunuch, he and my daughter are still married?"
"It will be a disaster for you if your daughter is lost!" Prime Minister Wang yelled and then teased in a low voice, "A daughter of a rich man's family has no choice but to marry a eunuch? What a waste of money?"
"Prime Minister, could you please find me Pan? I want to ask him personally whether he cares about this matter?" Hu Yuanwai begged.
"It's useless for you to see him." Prime Minister Wang pondered for a moment and then persuaded, "It is your fate to meet me. I will be able to talk to you and bring you to the house to ask the whole story. I would like to advise you to meet that man named Pan." , is it strange that he doesn’t kill you to silence you? The people don’t fight with the officials, and their arms can’t twist their thighs. In my opinion, you’d better go back!”
"In the clear world, there is no place for reasoning at the emperor's feet. Are you really going against him? No, I must find that bastard, and I want to judge him face to face!" Hu Laoer said angrily.
Prime Minister Wang couldn't help frowning, and thought to himself: This stubborn cow will definitely continue to complain on the way to court. It doesn't matter if he bumps into other people, but if he bumps into some of the little eunuch's stinky bitches, there might be another trouble.
, it’s better to think about it this way, Prime Minister Wang shouted outside:
"Come here, please send this old man to Mr. Wen of Dali Temple first. He will take good care of him without any mistakes."
Hu San went on an expedition with the young eunuch, and Dali Temple could not be without a head for a day. Wen Shichang entered Dali Temple on the recommendation of Prime Minister Wang.
Although Hu Yuanwai was a villager, he knew Dali Temple very well, so he shouted anxiously:
"Your Excellency, Prime Minister, I have never done this before. Why do you want to escort me to Dali Temple to speak?"
Wang Shugui corrected: "It's not an escort, it's an escort. Think about it. If Pan You'an knew that you were causing trouble for him in the capital, how could he let you go? Dali Temple is a place of reasoning, and Mr. Wen is a rare honest official. You have
You can say something to him.”
Mr. Hu thought it made sense, so he happily went to Dali Temple with others.
It happened that Wen Shichang was handling a case in the office. He had just concluded a public case and was about to go back to the backyard to rest. Suddenly, someone from the prime minister's house sent an old Nanman man. He felt displeased and asked:
"Who is here? What grievances are there?"
The messenger said: "Sir, this is an old man who is looking for a relative. He said he is Pan You'an, the father-in-law of Mr. Pan. The Prime Minister said that he pretended to be an official relative and asked you to be sent here for questioning. The Prime Minister told you not to let him go, lest you
It messed up the rules of the court and ruined Eunuch Pan’s reputation.”
"What what? Pan Youan's father-in-law! It's such a ghost in broad daylight. How could a eunuch have such a father-in-law? The prime minister is right. He is clearly short of money and came here to swindle money." Mr. Wen muttered to himself for a while.
, without asking questions or answering questions, he said without authorization:
"Someone, put this old guy on death row and don't give him food for three days. What will he say?"
Even though Wen Shichang was incompetent, he was very knowledgeable about this matter.
Hu Laoer was dissatisfied and shouted loudly: "My lord, I am wronged! I have not committed any crime, why should I be put in prison, and it is still on death row, there is no king's law? I am tired of my stomach (Cantonese: curse words)
"
Wen Shichang couldn't help but sneer secretly and thought: "What the hell, are we in the same group as Pan You'an? The old guy can't find his culprit even after he dies, so the unjust dead ghost is going to settle the score with Pan You'an!"
Several people came over in an instant, and they couldn't help but put on the shackles, put on the shackles, and in a matter of seconds, Old Hu Tou was fully armed. Foreign Minister Hu sighed and said:
"Well, I thought I had found a son-in-law who would ride a dragon, but I didn't expect it to end like this. I don't care whether I die or not. I pity my precious daughter, but she ended up falling into the hands of Japanese thieves."
Wen Shichang waved his hand and said impatiently: "Take this old man away quickly and tell me what to do. If anyone gives this old man a sip of water, I will definitely kill him if I find out. I won't be able to cure Pan You'an."
, I can’t cure the relatives of the Pan family!”
Whether Old Hutou is dead or alive is not a question for the time being.
