Chapter 23: The King's Book with a Story
Hua Qingfeng hurriedly got up, washed up, and her groggy mind cleared up a little. Su Ya had already instructed the kitchen to bring a bowl of japonica porridge up, and at this time it was almost dry, Hua Qingfeng took three sips and drank it, picked up the tea and rinsed his mouth, and hurried forward.
Hua Qingfeng rushed to the second hall and immediately ordered Su Xuntian to invite Ye Xiaotian. Ye Xiaotian was talking to Hua Yunfei in his signature room at this time, this night he first arranged for the supervision of the Wang master's book, and then just took a nap at the desk, and did not rest for too long, his eyes were full of bloodshots, just drink tea to refresh.
As soon as he saw Hua Yunfei, Ye Xiaotian immediately jumped up and blurted out, "Is it a qiΔshun lΓ¬?" β
Hua Yunfei nodded vigorously, Ye Xiaotian was relieved, Hua Yunfei said: "Big brother, don't worry, Lu Mo and the others have been escorted back by me overnight." As for the exhibits and other belongings, they were escorted by officers and men of the Inspection Division, and it was estimated that they would not arrive until after noon. β
Ye Xiaotian said happily: "It's good that nothing goes wrong!" He thought for a while and asked, "You didn't embarrass the Chen family's lady, did you?" β
Hua Yunfei said: "No, according to the orders of the eldest brother, we haven't touched a penny of her money." The people of the Chen family, we only brought the sixth Chen back, and the others still escorted the Chen family's lady to the north. But ......, to be honest, big brother, I see that most of the gifts received by the lady of the Chen family are also ......"
Ye Xiaotian was silent for a moment, sighed and said: "The law is nothing more than human affection, you can't cut off the life of his orphans and widows, so be it." As the two were talking, Su Xuntian rushed in and said angrily: "The eldest master has invited the second master to meet in the second hall." β
Ye Xiaotian said: "The county lord is awake?" β
Su Xuntian said with a smile: "I'm awake, although I still don't look sober, but I'm really awake." β
Ye Xiaotian glared at him and said, "Don't ridicule the county lord." β
Su Xuntian smiled disapprerovingly. Ye Xiaotian turned to Hua Yunfei and said: "As soon as the county lord wakes up, Huxian County has been turned upside down, presumably the eldest lord must be very confused in his heart, you go over with me." There are some things that only you can understand. β
Hua Qingfeng twisted his beard and walked around in the second hall, he couldn't figure it out, it was only one night's work, how could the case that had been decided have changed so dramatically, and how could the Wang masterbook, who had nothing to do with this case, turn into a man behind the smuggling in Huxian County.
As soon as Ye Xiaotian walked into the second hall with Su Xuntian and Hua Yunfei, Hua Qingfeng greeted him and said, "Ye Xiancheng, you are here, please take a seat." Tell the county what the hell is going on, the county is really a little confused now. β
Ye Xiaotian bowed and said: "I also ask the county lord to forgive the crime of not telling the magistrate, it is not that the magistrate is disrespectful to the county lord, but because this case is too serious, when the magistrate found out that the king master book was the mastermind behind the trafficking of smuggling, he was also surprised, and he couldn't believe it in every way, before he had conclusive evidence." The lower officials didn't dare to announce it. β
Hua Qingfeng smiled bitterly: "Don't ignore these things, you just have to sue the county now, why did the king master book become the mastermind behind the ban on smuggling and trafficking!" β
Ye Xiaotian explained the reasons that initially aroused his suspicion of the Wang Master Book, and the process of him sending Hua Yunfei and others to secretly monitor the Wang Master Book and Shang Jia Lu Mo. Until he discovered that they had a series of misdeeds and even someone hid in the coffin, he decided to tell Hua Qingfeng about the plan and the stolen goods.
Hua Yunfei added from time to time on the side, telling Hua Qingfeng in detail what he had seen and heard, especially the process of seizing Lu Mo's stolen goods last night. Hua Qingfeng only heard it like a dream. Babbling oh oh just agreed, I didn't know what to say.
After Ye Xiaotian finished speaking, he said, "My lord." Lu Mo has now been taken back to the county office, and the adults have asked him about it, and they will know the clue. β
Hua Qingfeng was stunned for a moment, and ordered: "Come on, bring Lu Mo to the second hall!" β
Lu Mo was escorted into the second hall in frustration, since he was arrested, he knew that the general situation had gone, he was a stolen person, and it was impossible to wash it off. So he was escorted into the second hall, Hua Qingfeng just asked, and he put it all together and explained everything. Lu Mo is a pampered businessman, he knows that he can't bear the punishment, and since he has no way to deny it, it is better to confess honestly, and he can suffer less.
Lu Mo's confession is inseparable from Ye Xiaotian's previous speculation, according to what he said, when he was doing business in Guizhou from Zhongyuan, in order to have someone take care of him locally, he wanted to go to worship the mountain gate of the two Tusi masters, but he was just a small businessman at that time, how could the Tusi master look at him.
At that time, Wang Ning was already a guest of honor of the two toast masters, and Lu Mo admired his name, so he went to visit Wang Ning. Wang Ning had a conversation with him and was very speculative, not only introduced him to two toast masters, but also sent him a big business, that is, smuggling.
Lu Mo was originally a businessman, but the huge profits brought by smuggling were too tempting, plus the two toast masters were involved, and the two toast masters were the soil emperors of Huling, what else did Lu Mo have to worry about? From then on, he set foot on the thief ship......
The secretary was making a note on the side, and Hua Qingfeng twisted his beard and asked, "In this way, the goods you got were all instructed by the king to receive them?" You don't know where it came from, do you? β
Lu Mo said: "Yes! The villain is willing to be controlled by the old man, and it is also for this reason. The villain just received it, regardless of where he came from, and followed the instructions of Master Wang, and later the villain retreated behind the scenes and brought Hu Qifeng to the front of the stage, also for this reason. β
Hua Qingfeng asked: "So, where are the goods you got sold to, and to whom?" β
Lu Mo snorted: "The villain is a merchant, and he is only responsible for transporting the goods to the Central Plains. β
Hua Qingfeng said: "Okay! The official asked you, what are the names of those who receive the goods from you, and where do they live? β
Lu Mo said: "Most of them know some roots. β
Hua Qingfeng looked pleased, and said: "If this official orders you to transcribe the names and surnames of these people in detail, and confront them in court in the future, are you willing?" β
Lu Mo snorted and said, "Villain...... Villain ......"
Hua Qingfeng stroked his beard and said: "If you are willing to testify for the imperial court, of course the imperial court will open up to you." β
Lu Moxi said: "In this case, the villain is willing to testify!" β
Hua Qingfeng said: "Okay! Sign and draw! Come, take him, take him with pen and ink, and ask him to write a detailed confession. β
Ye Xiaotian was on the side of the trial, listening to Lu Mo's confession, Ye Xiaotian suddenly thought of a strange question in his heart: "Wang Ning was not an official back then, and since he had such a financial way, why did he pretend to others and give up such a big benefit?" It seems that this mystery can only be solved by the king himself.
Ye Xiaotian thought for a while, and said to Hua Qingfeng: "My lord, Lord Wang is now detained in the county office, do you strike while the iron is hot and try Wang Ning again?" β
Hua Qingfeng hesitated for a moment, sighed and said, "Take Wang Ning!" β
Wang Zhushu walked into the second hall slowly, arched his hand to Hua Qingfeng with a smile, and bowed his hand to Ye Xiaotian slightly, and as soon as he lifted his robe, he sat down in the position where he usually sits.
Hua Qingfeng faced this colleague and rival who had been with him for five years, and he didn't know how to speak for a while, and after thinking about it, he coughed and said, "Master Wang, last night the envoy of Ye County caught a group of people who trafficked in illegal goods, and that person was Jia Lumo, a businessman in this county. According to Lu Mo's confession, what he did was all instigated by your Wang Master's Book, I don't know what the King's Master Book has to say about this accusation? β
Master Wang said with a smile: "What he said is right, all along, it is indeed the old man who is behind the scenes." Purchase, shipment, but all the private goods that flow through my Huxian County are handled by the old man. β
Hua Qingfeng didn't expect him to answer so simply, so he couldn't help but eat and say, "You...... How can you! As an official of the imperial court, you eat the imperial court's ......"
Master Wang sighed and interrupted him impatiently: "Lord Zhixian, don't talk about this kind of clichΓ©, your ears are calloused." You don't have to ask, what do you want to ask, I know, the old man said it himself.
Cough! That's right, the person who secretly presided over the trafficking of illicit goods in Huxian County is the old man! When the old man was in the same place, he partnered with the two toasts in Huling to do this business, and then the two toasts fought and almost affected me, and the old man learned a lesson and retreated behind the scenes. is always at ease, Chen Muyan and the like are just chess pieces cultivated by the old man to cover people's ears. They were greedy for money, and the old man tempted them to take advantage of them, and they were at my mercy for several years, not even knowing that I was using them, which is really sad to say. β
As if he was talking about others, the king looked compassionate, and sighed softly: "Bring the transcript!" β
The secretary was intimidated by his majesty, and he didn't think about it for a while, so he presented the book that had just been recorded, and the king picked up the pen, and the pen walked the dragon and snake, and waved his name with a stroke, threw the brush on the case, and asked, "Is there anything else to do with the master?" β
Huazhi County period Ai Ai said: "No...... Yes! Yes! You...... Where do you come from, where do you go, and who are you complicit with? β
Master Wang smiled: "Up? Naturally, it came from Tiger Pass, but unfortunately the huge envoy of Tiger Pass has disappeared, otherwise the county lord can ask him. As for the next, presumably Lu Mo knows, the old man only needs to transport those private goods out of Huxian County safely, but other things have nothing to do with the old man. β
Master Wang stood up and asked Hua Qingfeng, "Is there anything else?" β
Hua Qingfeng was stunned and said, "It's gone." β
Master Wang put his hands behind his back and said lightly: "Then let's go." β
Hua Qingfeng was stunned and said, "Where to go?" β
Master Wang glanced back at him and said lightly: "In addition to the prison, where else?" With that, he walked out proudly.
Hua Qingfeng was stunned for a moment, almost unable to believe her eyes: "The domineering Meng Xiancheng was not so arrogant when he was imprisoned, this always low-key Wang Zhushu was even more arrogant than Meng Xiancheng back then?" β
