Little Xiucai's Flowery Love History

Mu Qi had a premonition that there might be a change, so he frowned and took a look. It turned out that Dali Temple ordered Tao Sheng to retry the case of killing the imperial court official.

Mu Qi asked: "The case has already been settled, why is there a retrial?"

Master Wu said: "The lower officials don't know, it's just that Dali Temple personally sent people down this time, and people from Dongchang came with them, saying that this case is for them to try, and no one else is allowed to intervene."

?

Mu Qi was taken aback.

how so?There must be something strange in it.

I hurriedly saw people from Dongchang and Dali Temple, but I didn't find the mystery.Reluctantly, he secretly ordered someone to bribe the official's attendant, and only then did he know the changes in Beijing.

It turned out that shortly after Mu Qi left Beijing, the northern region reported that the little Mongolian prince from Mobei had come to invade Xuanfu (now Xuanhua, Hebei), and Wang Zhi left Beijing immediately to go to the front line to supervise the army.

Hu Lin's family was full of resentment, their own family was an imperial official, and they were dealt with in such a sloppy way when they were killed. Due to Wang Zhi's power, they dared not express their anger. Wu Ming, and sent money to the Dali Temple of the Ministry of Punishment before he was sent back for retrial.

Mu Qi immediately smelled a little different smell, this day, I'm afraid it will change.

The battles among the court eunuchs, the undercurrents of rivals in the east and west factories, have never stopped since the beginning.This Wang Zhi probably made a lot of enemies and was taken advantage of by others.Father-in-law also said that now Dongchang is also quite favored in front of the emperor.Wang Zhi is the factory supervisor of the West Factory, and now someone dares to cheat behind his back. The limelight of the West Factory is likely to be overwhelmed, but at this time, the east wind and the west wind are competing, and I don't know when the result will come out, but between the competition Inevitably, there will be unlucky ghosts who will be sacrificed. Mu Qi doesn't want himself to be such unlucky ghosts, and he doesn't want Tao Linghua to be sacrificed. Therefore, he must use all his strength to deal with the current situation, but whether there will be results is another matter.

That night, Mu Qi hosted a banquet for Wu Jun, the eunuch sent by Dongchang, and Zhang Wengu, the prime minister of Dali Temple.

According to the law, the Ministry of Criminal Affairs and the Metropolitan Procuratorate should also send people to join the Dali Temple for the trial of major cases, but this time the Minister of the Ministry of Criminal Affairs shirked it, saying that it would be better for the matter to be heard by Dali Temple in person.Mu Qi guessed that they must not want to be caught in the middle.

Moreover, this matter was not reported to the Metropolitan Procuratorate, so in the end it turned out that Dali Temple independently tried the case.

Mu Qixian entertained Wu Jun and Zhang Wengu with a good banquet. He flattered Wu Jun and Zhang Wengu so much that he even gave them the gold and silver wine vessels from the banquet. The flowery Geisha, together with the two others who gave her, were sent to the post house at night.

He also gave 1000 taels of silver to Wu Jun alone, and Zhang Wengu gave 500 taels of silver.Don't ask him where he got so much money, he has his own way to get it.

If Wu Ming, the factory supervisor of the East Factory, really didn't take this matter seriously, he only sent a young eunuch under his command. Seeing Wu Ming's expression at Dali Temple, only a fifth-rank eunuch was sent. Temple Cheng.How much vision can such a person have?As long as they can earn money, they are naturally happy to give favors, but this time Wu Ming's confession was to kill Tao Linghua, so they didn't dare to be too perfunctory, and told Mu Qi the truth.

Mu Qi is worried, how can this be good?Even with iron shoulders, I can't bear this burden now.After thinking for a long time, I had to say to those two: "The duke said that he punished the murderer, which is of course necessary, but you two also saw the situation where the scholars and Confucian scholars in He County petitioned for him, and they were not convinced, but it was difficult The two of you had nothing to do with this case, but now if you are responsible for oppressing scholars for this matter, and are resented by the scholars of He County, you are innocent."

These two don't care what the relationship is, as long as they have money, it's just because of Mu Qi's money that they are perfunctory.Seeing what Mu Qi said, he asked, "What should Master Yimu say?"

Mu Qidao: "Since the governor has given instructions on this matter, I can't sell him against the will of my lord. It's just that the old man didn't come here and doesn't know the truth, but I can't ignore the voice of the people. The two lords will sentence him to exile. How about ten years? The two of you have explained to Lord Du Gong. Then Tao Sheng will have to live, and the Confucian scholars in He County are also grateful to you, why not do it?"

But Wu Jun said worriedly: "When the governor came, he promised that Hu Lin's younger brother would let Tao live and die. If we go against his old man's wishes as his subordinates, I'm afraid it will be difficult to go back."

Mu Qi said with a smile: "The Hu Lin family is just a little rich. It turned out to be the adoptive son of Duke Wang of Xichang, and now his family has taken refuge in Duke Wu. He is also considered a capricious villain. You two, they will be beneficial To the two of you? Why bother to bear such a bad name for him and kill a scholar?"

Wu Jun and Zhang Wengu looked at each other and thought, what he said is that he didn't give me a gift, he only gave it to his superiors, so I don't care if he lives or dies?This Lord Mu is chasing me in a rage, giving money and others, and he is the son-in-law of Lord Shangshu Yu's family. He has a bright future, and he may not be used in the future. Why bother to offend someone for a dead man?

Wu Jun asked: "Then how can I appeal to Lord Dugong when I go back?"

Mu Qi rolled his eyes and said, "It turns out that Mr. Wang of Xichang didn't want to bear the notoriety of persecuting scholars, so he pushed the matter away. The two of you will show Mr. Wu the petition documents of the scholars. That's it."

Wu Jun and Zhang Wengu looked at each other and smiled.To Mu Qidao: "Master Mu, good idea, I will sue like this when I get back. Presumably Lord Dugong will not bear such a bad name for little Hu Lin."

Mu Qi thought in his heart: It's not for money, can you help me?

Hu Lin's younger brother, Hu Feng, originally thought that he could win justice for his brother this time, but he was rigged by Mu Qi again, and he was so angry that he had no choice but to use money to bribe these two investigators who were blind to money. .In the end, it was decided that "one hundred sticks, the frontier guards will be sent to the army forever, and no redemption is allowed", and the release was limited to eleven days.

Exile into the army is a felony punishable by death in the Ming Dynasty.This "eternal exile" is a lifelong military prisoner. Although it does not implicate the family and will not let the descendants continue to be exiled, it is better than "eternal exile", but it is still a military slave for a lifetime, and few of them can be pardoned and return home.

What's more, if you go to the front line to be a military slave, you will lose half of your life on the road, and the other half will be tortured when you get to the place.

Moreover, it is early winter at this time. If we go to the north, I am afraid that the Chinese New Year is coming soon. In the twelfth lunar month, the world of ice and snow is hard for a strong person, not to mention that Tao Linghua is so delicate, I am afraid that he will suffer more torture than the death penalty. The final result may be Still a dead word.

Wu Jun and Zhang Wengu didn't want to offend anyone, and both sides made money, so there was a compromise.

Mu Qi felt that this was clearly a slap in the face!I want Tao Linghua to die!

He also fell down in anger, and wanted to push back for a retrial, but the two were a little impatient, so Mu Qi's retrial was not possible, and he wanted to postpone the trial until next spring, but he was not allowed.

He is fledgling, and Wang Zhi is not around, and even if he is, he may not be willing to save Tao Linghua.

Mu Qi gritted his teeth and had no choice but to accept the order.

Border guards, he is out of reach, he has no acquaintances in the Ministry of War or any border guards, and he has just been the head of the household department for a few days, how much network can he have?

Even if you borrow the relationship of your father-in-law, it can't be too obvious, you can only take one step at a time.

The only way out now, to keep his little lover who caused trouble, is to work hard and become a high-ranking official.Whoops!Mu Qi felt that he was such a fool, why did he just fall in love with him?
