Chapter 352: Earthshaking
Wei/Hui Mansion, Houya.
The prefect, the magistrate, the Tongzhi and the three of them were huddled by the table, gathering together in a frown, all with anxiety on their faces.
The magistrate Chen Jingyong looked at the prefect and said, "Sir, you can't hide like this. If King Lu is really angry, he will have no place to deal with our yamen..."
Tongzhi Zhao Yao also said, "Yes, sir, you have to review it and cover up the matter. Now is the time for trouble, and you cannot get a handle."
Who doesn’t know in the world that most of the royal princes have entered Beijing, and there are only a few who have not entered Beijing, and King Lu is the largest of them!
The Governor's Yuan, Zongren's Mansion, and all six ministries issued a document to the Wei/Hui Mansion, asking them to persuade King Lu to go north as soon as possible.
The prefect was a middle-aged man with a long face and a small beard. He grabbed his beard and looked at the two of them angrily, saying, "How to judge? The brothel was jealous and sentenced to Song Xiance to prison. If the court knew about it, wouldn't this tell them that I would help King Lu and not allow him to enter the capital, would I still be the official?"
Chen Jingyong's eyes turned, he leaned closer and whispered: "Sir, you can drive out all the fifty boards?"
The prefect looked up at him and said, "Can King Lu give up? If he gets up, will it be me who is unlucky?"
Chen Jingyong and Zhao Yao looked at each other, and could not judge Song Xianke, nor could they be judged by each major fifty board. Can they be judged by King Lu?
The back yamen was in a difficult situation. In the front yamen, Zhu Changqing stood there, looking at Song Xiance with a cold expression.
Song Xiance's scalp was also numb at this moment, and he didn't dare to look at King Lu. His heart was turbulent, thinking of a way to get out.
His friend approached him and whispered: "I have a fellow villager in Shaanxi/Xi. If the yamen is a private person, I will run away."
Song Xiance nodded and said nothing.
Prince Lu's mansion, Chief Shen Dian hurried into the Buddhist temple and said, "Princess, no, the little prince was arrested by the yamen."
Princess Li was lowering her head and chanting scriptures. When she heard this, her face changed slightly. She stood up suddenly and said, "What did you say? Who is here?"
Shen Dian was stunned and hurriedly said, "It's not the court, but the fight with people in a brothel and was arrested by the yamen."
Princess Li felt relieved, her expression slowly calmed down, her brows frowned, and said with a stern face: "Well, the Chief Secretary will go to the yamen and bring Chang Jing back, and lock him up in the future. Without my permission, you are not allowed to go out."
Shen Dian's lips moved and said, "Princess, I'm afraid you want to go there in person. Now, the Wei/Hui Mansion is also in a dilemma."
Princess Li looked at Shen Dian, nodded slightly after a while, and said, "Okay, I'll go there in person."
Shen Dian's eyes were slightly relaxed. If the Wei/Hui Mansion took the opportunity to make a big splash and reported the court, the court would have a reason and forcefully requested it, and even "arrested" King Lu to Beijing. However, if the princess came forward, the Wei/Hui Mansion had to make a proper settlement.
At the back of the Wei/Hui Mansion, the three adults were still thinking of ways, but they didn't go out for a long time, just dragging them like this.
"Sir, it's not good, Princess Li is here!" Suddenly, a yamen run in and shouted.
This sound made the three of them yell in fear and almost jumped up.
Chen Jingyong waved his hand and said impatiently: "Didn't you see that the adults are getting annoyed?"
The prefect was really uncomfortable. He rubbed his right hand on his face and looked at Zhao Yao and said, "Tell me, if you don't talk, we can't go home and farm!"
Zhao Yao smiled bitterly and said, "Sir, Princess Li has come, it will be inappropriate to hide."
Of course the prefect knew, and looked at him in anger, then looked at Chen Jingyong.
Chen Jingyong gritted his teeth and said, "Sir, why don't you just pretend to be sick and let's deal with it?"
The prefect's eyes lit up and he said, "This idea is good, right, go quickly, I will say that I have caught a cold and cannot afford to stay in bed."
As he said that, he took off his clothes and walked inside, groaning twice from time to time.
Zhao Yao and Chen Jingyong looked at each other, and Chen Jingyong's mouth twitched. He didn't know that something was wrong in his brain, so he actually said this method.
Although the two had no choice but to come to the front yamen.
Princess Li sat down below, holding a teacup elegantly.
Zhao Yao and Chen Jingyong hurried over and raised their hands and said, "You have met Princess Li."
Princess Li put down the teacup, wiped her mouth, and said lightly: "The tea in the yamen is too bad. You can go to the royal palace later and get some of the Longjing in front of the rain."
There are indeed many places in the Wei/Hui Mansion yamen that have to rely on Prince Lu’s Mansion, but at this time, the two of them had to wave their hands and say, “Thank you, Princess, I dare not, let me investigate the case next?”
When Princess Li saw that the prefect did not show up, her heart was as clear as a mirror and said lightly: ‘Let’s try.’
In the yamen, Zhu Changqing stood behind Princess Li, opposite Song Xiance and the other two were.
At the same time, in the two sedan chairs not far from the yamen, Wei Zhongxian and Miss Lin were both looking at the yamen.
Miss Lin withdrew her gaze, looked at Wei Zhongxian, and said respectfully: "Dadfather-in-law, what are your plans next?"
Wei Zhongxian walked out of the sedan chair, stood there, looked at the yamen of the Wei/Hui Mansion, smiled indifferently, and said, "The Miscellaneous Family, I want to hold this Wei/Hui Mansion!"
Miss Lin pursed her lips and did not speak again. After all, she just helped Aier do something and was not qualified to make any requests with the Admiral of the East Factory.
Things are simple and easy to review.
Song Xiance also pleaded guilty, and the difficulty lies in how to judge.
Zhao Yao and Chen Jingyong looked at each other and hesitated for a long time. Chen Jingyong stepped forward and shouted: "Song Kangnian beat King Lu, which is a serious crime. Because he has a good attitude of admitting guilt, King Lu was not seriously injured and sentenced to one year of corvee!"
The key to this judgment is whether it is light or severe, but it depends on what the person you care about thinks.
For example, Princess Li was dissatisfied and looked at Chen Jingyong with a cold expression, saying, "Mr. Chen, did you just let it go just by beating the prince of the royal family?"
Chen Jingyong was sweating coldly on his head and his heart was trembling. He was afraid that the sentence would be heavy, so he mistakenly thought that Wei/Hui Mansion was with Prince Lu's Mansion. He forced a smile and said, "The princess said it was wrong. This year's corvee service was a serious crime. I heard that no one who went there came back..."
When Song Xiance heard this, he was furious and shouted: "The brothel is a elegant place, and it is inevitable to be jealous. I have not taken any heavy measures, so why should I kill me!"
Chen Jingyong cursed in his heart that Song Kangnian was also a bastard. If he fooled him now, he would change things secretly in the future and let him go. Now that he exposed it, he would not be able to get out of Taiwan!
Zhao Yao was anxious when he watched it, but this was a dead knot and could not be untied.
Princess Li ignored Song Xiance's shouting, stood up, and said, "That's good, I will send someone to follow me, hoping that Lord Chen did not deceive me, and the taxes in Prince Lu's mansion this year are not calculated yet."
When Chen Jingyong heard Princess Li threatening him with this, he couldn't help but feel trembling. He stared at Song Xiance, thinking in his heart that he could only feel wronged Song Kangnian.
Song Xiance couldn't see Chen Jingyong's eyes, and he smiled anxiously, shouting, "Okay, okay, I'm really worthy of being the master in the sky and the sun. This case was really well concluded, Song admired it!"
Since Chen Jingyong made the decision, he would not delay the trouble. With a wave of his hand, several yamen runners would drag Song Xiance away.
Song Xiance's two friends were anxious and said to Chen Jingyong: "Are you not afraid of us suing us?"
Princess Li walked over and looked at Song Xiance. She saw that he was dressed in rags and looked like a beggar. She glanced at his two friends, snorted faintly, and walked out.
Chen Jingyong and Zhao Yaomu were particularly heavy when they saw Princess Li. If the incident spread today, I am afraid that the Wei/Hui Mansion will be in the way of Huang Ni, so it will be no longer the same.
The two of them turned to Song Xiance again, and he saw him raising his head high and looking at the two with a sneer on his face, with some dangerous light flashing in his eyes.
Princess Li raised her neck and left the government office, her eyes faintly, and she sneered in her heart. What qualifications are there for a small prefectural office to hear their sect king?
Chen Dian breathed a sigh of relief. As long as they took advantage of the situation, there would be enough reason to deal with the court.
Zhu Changqing didn't care much about this, and it was a pity that he didn't enter Miss Lin's boudoir today.
‘I don’t know if she left or not…’ he muttered to himself as he walked.
After walking a few steps, Princess Li glanced at Zhu Changqing and said softly with a hint of harshness: "Don't come out again when you return home in the future, I will let someone look at you."
Zhu Changqing was unwilling to accept it, but he never dared to contradict Princess Li and responded vaguely.
"Princess Li, good means!"
Just as the few people were about to enter the sedan chair, a man walked slowly over, with a strange smile on his face.
Princess Li and others were stunned. When the man approached, he still didn't recognize him. Chen Dian stepped forward and raised his hand and said, "Brother, who are you?"
The person who came was naturally Wei Zhongxian. He carried his back with one hand and looked at Princess Li with an admirational look. Although her appearance was a little worse than Keshi, her method was much more clever.
Princess Li felt very uncomfortable by Wei Zhongxian's eyes and said coldly: "Who are you? You... aren't from Wei/Hui Mansion?"
After this sentence, Chen Dian and Zhu Changqing were shocked. They were now in a panic, fearing that the court would use their strength, so they always sent people to stare at the four gates and investigate strangers. However, the Wei/Hui Mansion is well-connected and cannot be strictly investigated, so there are still omissions.
Wei Zhongxian smiled slightly and said, "Yes, Zajia, Naidongchang Governor-eunuch, Wei Zhongxian."
After this sentence fell, everyone was shocked and speechless.
They never thought that the court actually sent the admiral and eunuch from the East Factory to come here, and that they attached great importance to their Lu Prince's Mansion!
Princess Li was quite determined and quickly calmed down. She looked at Wei Zhongxian and said lightly: "Why, the East Factory Admiral and Eunuch, don't you have to salute when you see King Lu?"
The glass beads in Wei Zhongxian's hand slowly turned, with one hand on his back, stood proudly, and smiled: "I have to see if King Lu wants the chaotic family to salute."
Princess Li's face turned cold and said, "What do you mean?"
As soon as she finished speaking, the Dongchang mansion rushed out like a tide and rushed directly into the Wei/Hui Mansion. In a blink of an eye, the magistrate, the magistrate, the magistrate, the Notice and others of the Wei/Hui Mansion were all taken out.
Princess Li lost her appearance, her body trembled, she couldn't stand steadily, and she almost fell down.
"Mother, Mother..."
Zhu Changqing was shocked and hurriedly supported her, and his expression became panicked.
Prince Lu’s Mansion is in Wei/Hui, and there are too many things that need to be done by Wei/Hui Mansion. In the past, he turned a blind eye. If he had been shaking all of them now...
