Chapter 883: The Two Can't Be Provoked
Remember [67โ booksรท in one second.], wonderful free reading without pop-ups!
In today's Chang'an, there are two people who laugh at the princes and princes, and no one wants to offend, and they are called "the two big ones that can't be provoked" by people who do good things. โ
The first one is this Su Anheng. He consciously made great contributions to the protection of the sky, and often boasted in front of others. If it doesn't go well, he will put on his old qualifications and demean and humiliate the people who come.
When the world is a great Confucian, do you still use dirty words to scold people? I don't know how many people are trembling by the angry liver. However, Su Anheng is famous all over the world, and these people do not dare to retaliate against him, because they are a big "can't be provoked".
The second place is Cui Wang in front of Cui Geng.
When Li Xian was demoted to Fangling, the local government restricted him very strictly, and only Zhang Zhijian, the assassin of Fangzhou, and Cui Jingsi, a businessman, treated him with courtesy, and the supplies were very rich.
After the Shenlong coup, Li Xian was ready to repay the favor, so he promoted Zhang Zhijian from Beizhou Assassin to the general of the Left Guard, and gave him the title of Duke of Fanyang County.
Cui Jingsi had died, and Tang Zhongzong found his son Cui Wang.
However, Cui Wang was addicted to alcohol and was really incompetent for any actual position, so he had to be a five-grade loose official.
Cui Wang is more difficult than Su Anheng, Su Anheng has nothing wrong except for boasting, everyone just follows him. But after Cui Wang got drunk, he was a drunken maniac. The emperor still avoids drunks, what can everyone do?
Moreover, people also found out that this Cui Wang was really drunk most of the time, but sometimes he pretended to be drunk and made trouble. And because of his special status, people can't care about him, and they can only stay away, because of the second big "can't be provoked".
Cui Geng bowed his hand and said: "It turned out to be Dr. Cui, and he couldn't write the word "Cui" in one stroke, so the two of us can be closer and closer in the future." โ
"You don't come to that set." Cui Wang drunkenly took another sip of wine, glanced at Cui Geng and said, "What's the matter?" I heard that you are going to take bribes and bend the law to take people's lives today? Tell you, others are afraid of you, but I, Cui Wang, am not afraid of you. I'm going to ...... today But that one is the way for heaven. โ
Nima, what's this called!
Cui Genghao hung his nose and said angrily, "Which eye do you see that this official is corrupt and pervert the law, and which ear hears that this official is going to take people's lives?" โ
"Oh, you still don't admit it." Cui Wang said: "Let me ask you, are you here for Wang Yuanbao's case?" โ
"yes, yes."
"That's it! Wang Yuanbao is your sworn brother, he committed a crime and was arrested in the Yamen of Jingzhao Mansion. You came in a rage, didn't you want to forcibly rob someone? โ
"What kind of robbery? I was afraid that he would be wronged. โ
"Wronged? Who wronged him? Do you think ...... Wei Shaoyin is a corrupt official? โ
"This ......"
Wei Zhigu is definitely a clear stream in the clear stream, and he risked his life to protect Su Anheng at the beginning. Cui Geng no longer has a clear conscience, and he can't say that he is a corrupt official.
As for saying that Wei Zhigu and Li Longji colluded to find trouble for themselves, this cannot be said on the table.
He took a deep breath and said, "This official is not saying that Wei Shaoyin is corrupt and perverts the law, it's just that when it comes to the ability to judge cases, I'm afraid he is far inferior to this official, right?" Ben Xiang is worried about his righteous brother, why not help Wei Shaoyin solve the case? โ
"Hmph, it's hard to draw dragons and tigers, you don't know your face, who knows your heart, who knows if you Cui Xiang is thinking about favoritism?"
"That's an easy question." Cui Gengdao: "You and Old Man Su are both very famous, so it is better to supervise on the side." If there is anything suspicious about the officer's behavior, just point it out. โ
Su Anheng slapped his thigh and said, "Okay, what I want is Cui Xiang's words." So let's get started now? โ
"Yes."
Cui Geng still knows Su Anheng's mentality well, this old man has consciously made great contributions, and his own identity and fame are not suitable for chasing wealth and wealth, so he simply does not accept any official position.
This has created a strange situation in which he wants to behave indifferently to fame and fortune on the one hand, and on the other hand, he is eager to be in the limelight.
Now, it is completely impossible to get rid of him in this case. It's better to take the initiative to invite him in and show that he is selfless and wide.
The two sides have decided to discuss and ascend to the court in Jingzhao Yin's yamen to begin hearing the case. Jingzhao Shaoyin Wei Zhigu was in the center, and Cui Geng and his party sat sideways with Li Longji and others.
"Might~~"
Amid the shouts of the officials, Wang Yuanbao was led to the lobby and fell to his knees. His face was ruddy and his clothes were complete, as if he had been wronged in any way.
Syllable!
Wei Zhigu was shocked and said, "The people under the hall, but Wang Yuanbao?" โ
"It's the villain."
"How did you kill Yang Chongyi by being greedy for money, and you didn't invite him quickly?"
"Little wrong!" Wang Yuanbao said: "Just three days ago, the little one went to Wanchun Tower with Uncle Yang to drink, and after coming back, the little one went back to his room to sleep. Who would have thought that my uncle would disappear! I hope you will find out! โ
"Then you entered the house with Yang Chongyi?"
"This ......" Wang Yuanbao patted his head in annoyance and said, "The little one drank too much that day, and I don't remember it anymore." โ
"Was there a child servant at that time?"
"No, it's just the two of us going out for a drink. When you come back, you have the keys to the house, and you don't have to call the door. โ
"Hmph, that's nonsense!" The drunken Cui Wang said: "Yang Chongyi's family is so rich, isn't there a child servant on duty all night?" Do you still need to find the owner to open the door by yourself? โ
Wang Yuanbao said: "Dr. Cui only knows one thing, but he doesn't know the other. First of all, Uncle Chongyi was sympathetic to his subordinates and did not arrange for his subordinates to be on duty at night. Secondly, most of the child servants in the family have been arranged to serve my wife, and there is really not enough manpower. โ
"Yang Chongyi is so rich, can't he hire a few more people?"
"It's okay to hire a few more people, but my uncle has no fame, the house is too small, and there is not enough space!"
In the Tang Dynasty, there was indeed a period of time when the atmosphere was extravagant, and the status of wealthy merchants was comparable to that of princes, but that was in the late Kaiyuan period and the Tianbao period.
As for now? The emperor of Zizhou Tiangao is far away, and he is not so particular. But in Chang'an, at the foot of the Son of Heaven, Yang Chongyi's house still has to follow the requirements of the Tang Dynasty law: the common people's house "shall not have more than three rooms and two houses, and the gate house shall not exceed one or two", "shall not build a gatehouse" and so on.
Therefore, his house is really not big, and it is far from matching his financial resources.
Cui Wang was annoyed and angry by Wang Yuanbao, and said, "You still dare to slam your mouth? As the saying goes, people are wood carvings, and if you don't fight, you can't move. People are bitter worms, you can't fight it! Come on, pull him down, hit the twenty boards, and beat me hard! โ
"Who do I think would dare to do it?" Cui Gengdao: "According to my Tang Dynasty law, when interrogating a criminal prisoner, you must first use your feelings, try their reasoning, and repeatedly check them, but they still can't be decided, and those who need to be interrogated will file a case, and then they will be tortured by the chief officer." Now Wang Yuanbao has to answer all questions, there is no doubt, let alone the evidence is conclusive, why is the sentence moved? โ
"Nonsense, just the two of them, one is missing, the other is still alive, he is not the murderer, who is the murderer?"
"Maybe there's another murderer?"
"Who else?"
Cui Geng rolled his eyes and said, "How does the official know?" You'll have to check it out in detail. โ
"The surname is Cui, I think you are clearly shielding Wang Yuanbao! You, a corrupt official and a dog official, are finally showing your true colors now? โ
"You ......"
Cui Geng is really angry enough, Nima, Cui Wang, is completely drunk and unreasonable! It is worthy of being called "Wang", it is simply a mad dog barking "Wang"!
However, he quickly calmed down.
To say that Cui Wang and Su Anheng were both bought by Li Longji? Cui Wang is possible, and Su Anheng is almost completely impossible. At best, Li Longji poured ecstasy soup into him through his three-inch incorruptible tongue, and he was just guided by the situation.
Now the question is, Li Longji can use him, but not himself? Not necessarily, right?
Thinking of this, Cui Geng gave Su Anheng a deep salute and said, "Old man Su, so far, this official really can't defend himself, how many words can you say fairly?" โ
Although his initial impression of Cui Geng was not good, after listening to Cui Geng's words, Su Anheng's heart was not to mention how happy.
Who is Cui Geng? When the prime minister of the dynasty, the husband of Princess An Le, and the husband of Princess Pingyang, in folklore, is definitely an existence above ten thousand people under one person.
Such a big person, to administer justice himself? Spread the word, and your own fame ...... Is that worth it? What kind of opportunity can you miss?
He coughed lightly and said, "Doctor Cui, please don't be impatient, the old man thinks that it is a bit far-fetched to say that Cui Shangshu is shielding Wang Yuanbao now." The stakes are high, and we have to think long-term. โ
Cui Wang's momentum was a little restrained, and he said hatefully: "Okay, I'll listen to Old Man Su." However, how to think in the long run? โ
Su Anheng said: "Well, according to the old man's opinion, it is right to find Yang Chongyi first, and now whether he is dead or alive is not certain." โ
"Then how to find Yang Chongyi's whereabouts?"
Su Anheng pointed at Cui Geng and said, "It depends on the world-famous Cui Qingtian." โ
