Chapter 132 Follow-up
Looking at the magistrate of Jin'an who was sitting in the yamen, but with a pale face, Xiang Yuan casually picked up the teacup and sipped hot tea, put it down, and sneered slightly.
Don't worry, the fun is just beginning.
Sure enough, although it was still in the middle of the year and Jin'an Mansion was a small place, what happened here turned into a memorandum and handed over to the imperial court at an unimaginable speed the next day.
Sigong quickly scanned the booklet and pressed it to the bottom without any trace.
Xiang Yuan had a good impression on him. It's rare for a sage to be in a happy mood during the Chinese New Year. If he sees these bad things, he can't guarantee his mood.It's a little bit of help, and when we meet in the future, there is always someone available.
It's a pity that even if he took the risk and tried his best to suppress this note, no one could stop him.Master Huang, the censor, turned his face, straightened his neck and said, "...Xiang Yuan bullies others, meddles in the government affairs of other countries, and doesn't pay attention to the laws of the court. He is really the black sheep of the court and magistrates."
The harshness of the words and the disgust of the attitude made the saint frown frequently.
Sigong raised his heart slightly.
"Oh? Coincidentally, I also have a share here. Huang Aiqing might as well take a look first."
As he spoke, the sage took out a booklet from the top of the imperial case and threw it forward.Sigong hurried forward, cupped it with both hands, and quickly handed it to Huang Yushi with his head down.
Taking advantage of the gap that Huang Yushi took over, Sigong took a quick glance.
It is Xiang Yuan's handwriting.
Slowly letting go of the raised heart, Si Gong couldn't help wondering, when he was sorting out the imperial case before, he didn't see this document, could it be that the sage himself brought it here?
Down below, the more Huang Yushi looked down, the uglier his face became, especially when he saw that "those with a little power can show off their might, especially those who hold the power of life and death. At least they accept bribes, and at worst they cause family ruin. It's dark and chilling." At this point, Huang Yushi had a bad premonition in his heart, and sure enough, looking down, Xiang Yuan described in detail and clearly the whole story of the dispute between Lu and Li's house in Jin'an. When the story was told, it was particularly emphasized that the county magistrate of Li County had abused his power for personal gain due to public favoritism. During the Chinese New Year vacation, he actually arrested Li Chenghui and sent him to prison, and forced him to open the prison by himself.But the prefect of Jin'an actually condoned such lawless behavior, which is really unbearable for a prefect of a prefecture.
Beads of sweat rolled down from Huang Yushi's forehead.At this moment, he knew that he was being used.
In the imperial court, Huang Yushi has always been known for his uprightness and uprightness. He despises traitorous and mediocre officials who have nothing to do with their corpses. Once they know about it, they will definitely punish them.When he was told that Xiang Yuan, relying on the emperor's grace, became a second-rank official in the frontier in his thirties. He was arrogant and domineering. furious.Regardless of the persuasion of his disciples, he insisted on taking the booklet, and in order to prevent Xiang Yuan from bluffing and deceiving the saint, he handed over the sign in advance, rushing to face the saint today, and participate in Xiang Yuan's book.
"Huang Aiqing, although I am high above the temple, my eyes and ears are not closed. I have heard about what happened in Jin'an Mansion for a long time, and I was thinking about how to punish the moths of the country who ignored the court's laws. I didn't want to receive Xiang Aiqing and Huang Aiqing one after another. fold."
The sage's inaudible words stopped here, and Huang Yushi bowed lower and lower.
"Your Majesty, my humble minister has overlooked and been deceived by others. I am ashamed of trusting Your Majesty!"
Emperor Jing'an nodded lightly. "Huang Aiqing's uprightness is a blessing to the imperial court, but I hope that while Aiqing is upright, she also has clear eyes and ears, and can distinguish right from wrong."
Huang Yushi lowered his head as if he was going to hang it up. The more gentle the saint's attitude, the more ashamed he was. Hearing this, his face flushed with shame, and he said: "I am ashamed, I am terrified."
"Since that's the case, Huang Aiqing will hand over this document to the Ministry of Officials for a thorough investigation. At the beginning of the new year, I will give you a satisfactory answer."
The sage speaks golden words, but within two days, there is a final decision regarding the commotion in Jin'an Mansion.
The magistrate of Jin’an was unfavorable in control, indulged his subordinates and accepted bribes of [-] silver, and was dismissed for investigation; the county magistrate of Li County abused his power and caused disasters, was dismissed from his post and sent to prison, and fined a hundred taels of silver; and also helped the abuser. , dismissed from office and taken into custody, fined ten taels of silver.
When the news came back to Jin'an, everyone in the Li family rejoiced, pulled Xiang Yuan who was about to say goodbye, and insisted on having another banquet to thank him for his great kindness.
In private, Mrs. Li and the five brothers of Mr. Li's generation said: "Don't look at Xiang Yuan as impatient, but when something happens to us, he still has to take care of it, and he has to take care of it properly." Because of what? We are in-laws, and Zhenniang has entered the Li family, so don't be afraid of his bad face, treat your in-laws as you usually do, if you really can't handle it, the worst thing is to ask Zhenniang to come out."
The five brothers were so encouraged by Mrs. Li, and thought about it carefully, thinking that it was indeed the case, so they were no longer afraid of Xiang Yuan in their hearts, and instead took the stock that they belonged to Xiang Yuan's sister-in-law's family. A sense of superiority, harassing Xiang Yuan with joy.
"Zhen Niang specially cooked your favorite dishes, and Ji Ran specially found someone to buy her 20-year-old daughter Hong back. Whatever you say, you have to finish eating before making any plans."
Facing a group of chubby Li family elders, Xiang Yuan almost couldn't maintain a polite smile on his face.
Ma Dan, eat, eat, eat, what a fart, he just wants to go home now, go home!
Everyone was trying to evade, the manager of the Li family led a person hurriedly past the front door and ran towards them, so fast that he almost ran in front of everyone.
"Song Da?"
Recognizing at a glance that it was Song Da who was following behind Li's steward, Niu Er thumped in his heart, feeling a bad premonition.
Not to mention Xiang Yuan, the first time he saw Song Da, his head buzzed, he was afraid that something happened to his daughter-in-law.
Before Song Da came over, Xiang Yuan took a big step down the steps, walked up to Song Da, stared into his eyes and asked, "Why are you here?"
The Li family in the back looked at each other, and they didn't want to go over to grab Xiang Yuan for a drink now.
"Master, something happened."
As soon as Song Dagang opened his mouth, Xiang Yuan couldn't help but grabbed his arm, opened his mouth and said, "What's the matter? I didn't tell you to stay in front of Zhengjun!"
"Master, don't worry, Zhengjun is fine. It is the second son of the uncle's family who has the accident!"
Hearing that his daughter-in-law was fine, Xiang Yuan's tense heartstrings relaxed slightly, and then he frowned again: "An Wei? What's wrong with him?"
So, next, Xiang Yuan, the Li family behind him, and Niu Er who was worried beside him, heard a bad news and didn't know what to say.
"...Because the second young master is really too mellow, the villain mistook him for the young young master, and went to the second young master as soon as he came up. When he caught him, he shouted that the master is a second-rank local, and the young young master in the family raised him." He was so fat and big-eared, he sucked a lot of people's fat and people's ointment, and finally yelled that he asked the master to redeem him by himself, only then did the big guy realize that it was the young master, not the second son, who they wanted to kidnap. Now the two The young master was taken to nowhere, the old lady, the eldest wife and Zhengjun were all in a hurry, waiting for the master to go back."
It turned out that Zhao Xu and his cronies stopped Xiang Anjue and his party behind the restaurant, and really spent a lot of thought and ordered a large table of delicious dishes to entertain them.Xiang Yu wanted to leave after eating with the three little ones, but Zhao Xu said that he was fine with him, so he simply went to Xishi with him.
On the way to the West Market, just when we turned into the alley suggested by Zhao Xu's friends, five or six masked men suddenly rushed out. Cross talk.The entourage brought by Xiang Yu and the others chased after them, but because they were not familiar with the path, they were left behind in a few breaths, and the villain was nowhere to be seen.But when Zhao Xu saw that something happened, he quietly took his friends and foxes away.
"What about the eldest man?"
Xiang Yuan resigned from the Li family, took Song Da and Niu Er with him, and asked questions while walking quickly.
"The elder is also very anxious. Now he sent all the nursing homes in the family to find someone. He went to the yamen to report the case by himself. He asked the magistrate for help and mobilized the yamen servants to find someone."
Xiang Yuan nodded secretly, Xiang Li's handling of this matter is quite clear.
"Niu Er, ride fast, take my seal and go to visit the magistrate first, and ask him to send more yamen servants, and make it clear that I, Xiang Yuan, will remember this kind of love."
Niu Er nodded calmly, took the seal letter from Xiang Yuan, rode on the big horse Song Da just rode when he came here, patted the horse's back, and disappeared in an instant.
Then Song Da drove, took Xiang Yuan all the way out of Jin'an, and rushed towards Lizhong.
At the Xiang family's house in Lizhong Weeping Liu Lane, Mrs. Li circled around Zhao Shen anxiously, muttering non-stop, "Brother Shen, hold on, hold on, it's okay, it's okay, Cong Zi Come back, An Wei will definitely find it safe and sound, don't worry, think more about the child in your belly, think more about him, don't worry, ah!"
Zhao Shen's face was so pale that he couldn't see a trace of blood, and his normally plump lips were also pale.Seeing that Mrs. Li was so anxious that her head was sweating, she was afraid that the old lady would no longer be able to bear the worry and collapse, so she took a deep breath and comforted her: "Mother, I'm fine, just take it easy, just take it easy, you and Go get busy, sister-in-law, don't surround me."
Feng Niang's face was haggard, on the one hand worried about Xiang Anwei who didn't know where she was now, on the other hand worried about Zhao Shen, for fear that he might not be able to hold on and his fetus would move.
"Brother Shen, please take a break and don't think too much. After receiving the letter, Congzi will definitely rush back. An Wei is a lucky man, so nothing will happen."
Feng Niang endured her worries and comforted Zhao Shen for a few words, and when she was informed that Xiang Li had returned, she rushed forward with the steward.Mrs. Li also supported Ah Ting's hand, and followed her to the front.
In less than a day, Xiang Li was tired and his eyes were bloodshot.Seeing Fengniang, seeing her frightened and disturbed face, not caring that the two had been strangers for a long time, couldn't help but stepped forward to hold Fengniang's hands and comforted her: "Fengniang, don't worry, I have already visited the county. Grandpa, report the situation, and the county magistrate promises that the villain will be arrested and brought to justice as soon as possible."
"An Wei, An Wei is so young, I don't know how scared I am, I don't dare to think about it, and when I think about it, the pain is unbearable."
Xiang Li freed up one hand, patted Feng Niang's back soothingly, covered the deep worry in his eyes, and tried to speak in a relaxed tone: "It's nothing, that's a foolish and bold person, and someone who is afraid, I will discipline you in the future." It's not that hard to get up."
As soon as Mrs. Li arrived, she found Mu Zi hugging Feng Niang, who was sobbing softly.This was the first time since Chunmei that the husband and wife got so close.
Seeing Mrs. Li approaching, Xiang Li and Feng Niang realized that they were actually leaning together, and immediately felt uncomfortable.At this time, Mrs. Li didn't intend to play tricks, so she just sighed and asked how Xiang Li went out to investigate.
Hearing that Xiang Li had gone to the yamen to report the case, Mrs. Li snorted and said, "The magistrate was injured that day, and the magistrate of the county ignored him. So far, he doesn't know who did it. Now, let me see, he is here with us. How can you stand upright in front of you?"
While talking, the steward reported that Niu Er was back, and Li and the others immediately cheered up. When they learned that Niu Er had gone to the county government office with Xiang Yuan's seal, and the county magistrate had dispatched a servant in front of him, everyone couldn't help but My heart relaxes.
A quarter of an hour later, Xiang Yuan entered the door hurriedly.
After the accident, Xiang Yu blamed himself all the time. He felt that he did not take good care of Xiang Anwei, which caused him to be arrested.Seeing Xiang Yuan, Xiang Yu couldn't help but get red eyes.
"Master, I'm useless."
Xiang Yuan patted Xiang Yu on the shoulder: "Now is not the time to blame yourself, the villain has been plotting for a long time, no matter how careful you are, it will not help."
In a word, success made Xiang Yu, who had been persevering for a long time, shed tears.After choking for a long while, Xiang Yu took care of his emotions.The guilt in my heart dissipated a little, and my mind returned, and I immediately remembered a thing that I had been wondering for a long time.
"Master, there is something strange to me."
Xiang Yuan turned to look at him, Xiang Yu licked his lips, a little nervous.
"When those villains jumped out, I saw Second Young Master Zhao make a gesture."
