Reborn girl from poor family

Chapter 81 Substituting one thing for another (1)

In the southwest corner of Huai'an City, Xingbu Street, today ushered in the busiest day since the establishment of the Li Xing Yamen.

If Xu Mingyu were still alive, he would definitely be proud of today's performance - the highest-ranking lord in Huai'an City, Cao Transportation Commander-in-Chief, Cao Kaihe, personally led more than 30 people and directly overthrew the punishment office, just to carry Xu Ming away.

Go back and attend to the funeral with dignity.

This master-slave relationship is truly touching.

When Qian Yushi arrived in a hurry, Cao Kaihe's people had already carried Xu Ming's body out of the back hall, followed by Liu Yun who was staggering and chasing after him with the support of the guards.

Liu Yun's head was wrapped with a thick bandage, which was very eye-catching, so the official hat could only be held in the hand. If others looked at it wrongly, they would think that Liu Yun was the filial son and grandson, struggling and crying in mourning.

"How dignified is it? How dignified is it!"

Qian Yushi's face suddenly turned pale, he strode over and shouted, "What do you mean, Mr. Cao?"

"Master Qian came just in time to distinguish right from wrong and give Xu Ming justice!"

Cao Kaihe looked sad, holding a stretcher, and said sadly: "There was an explosion in the city last night, and the suspect fled to the river. Xu Ming was originally assisting in handling the case, leading the team to rescue people all night long, working tirelessly and fulfilling his duties, Mr. Qian

Traveling along the way, you must have seen it with your own eyes. When Xu Ming died tragically, Cao was heartbroken. He came to welcome him back to his home for funeral, but he did not expect that the punishment would be ignored and his body would not be released. What is the reason? "

Last night, killers disguised as cannon soldiers appeared one after another. Everyone was in danger one after another, and they were in shock. Xu Ming died unexpectedly, and the killer was carrying his waistband. Suspicions were resurrected. At that time, Liu Yun ordered that his body and the people accompanying him be brought back.

Censor Qian supported it.

But after all, Xu Ming is Cao Kaihe's subordinate, and there is no conclusive evidence to prove Xu Ming's treachery. It is reasonable for Cao Kaihe to be so angry. Qian Yushi knew it, and his face turned slightly pale.

"Mr. Cao, please be patient. There was a lot of noise last night. I think the punishment Yamen is just handling it carefully, not a seizure..."

"The body is lying in the back hall and the family members are not allowed to see each other. How can it not be considered a seizure?"

Cao Kaihe observed his words, but did not let him round off his words, and immediately continued: "He followed me to serve the imperial court, and was immersed in the army for a long time. He had long ignored life and death, and tied his head to his trouser belt. This time

If you are unlucky and get killed by bandits, you will definitely have no complaints."

The soldiers behind him claimed that he was, and they were filled with righteous indignation.

Cao Kaihe's words suddenly changed: "But he sacrificed his life, and there was no reward after his death, so he was put in this prison together with his left and right people. It is so aggrieved. If I don't find justice for him,

How can we explain to the superiors and subordinates of the Cao Army in the future? Isn’t that chilling!”

The atmosphere of the army has always been very different from that of the civil service. The Cao soldiers specialize in water transportation and have fewer rules than the border defense army, but more gangsterism. Cao Kaihe's investigation of Xu Ming has been linked to the morale of the Cao soldiers, which is unacceptable.

Respond rashly.

It's just that the function of Qian Yushi is to pick out the rules and regulations in advance, whether it is the hidden weapon that penetrates Xu Ming's throat, or the assassin's waist card of the Linqing Prefecture, or the convenience of the assassin hiding in the Cao Army.

, upon closer inspection, this water transport commander is by no means completely suspect.

Thinking of this, Qian Yushi's heart was moved. Cao Kaihe was born in a noble family, and it was normal for him to have no one under his control. However, he was also the chief water transport officer who shared the responsibility of water transport. He should never be a simpleton who only knew how to riot.

Therefore, you should know that Liu Yun's affairs are still within the regulations, but his anger is far beyond expectations. Could it be that such a battle...?

Thinking of this, Qian Yushi glanced at Liu Yun, and suddenly said in surprise: "Master Liu, your head..."

Liu Yun smiled bitterly and said: "Master Cao and Xu Ming have been friends for many years, and now they lose their arms. I understand."

Qian Yushi immediately looked unhappy, "Is it actually done by Mr. Cao?"

"Master Cao!" Qian Yushi was really shocked this time, "The positions of imperial court officials are all awarded by the emperor. They have their own dignity. Even if the emperor punishes criminals, he must first remove his official uniform and have his own rules. In compliance with the law, does Uncle Cao now put the privileges of nobles above the king's law?"

As expected of an official of the Metropolitan Procuratorate who made a career of scolding people, Qian Yushi immediately blew his strands of beard like clouds, beat his chest and feet, quoted scriptures, and linked Cao Kaihe's actions with the nobles' rampage. , while talking, he mentioned the indiscriminate arrests in the three prisons of Huai'an Prefecture, and scolded Cao Kaihe until his face turned livid!

Cao Kaihe was high in the Huai'an Mansion and was domineering. How could he go through this battle? He didn't take full advantage of the situation, so he was caught in the wrong by Qian Yushi, and he was actually stopped for a moment, unable to carry Xu Ming's body. Walk.

Liu Yun watched from behind, secretly anxious. He had already heard the original words of Shen Huai brought back by his personal companions, and was awakened by the words. This morning, he actually deliberately released the water, hoping that Cao Kaihe would snatch Xu Ming's body away, but Qian Yushi He persisted resolutely, so that his inner plan was thwarted. Liu Yun couldn't help but secretly worry, but he couldn't say it openly.

The Yushi impeached hundreds of officials. The more rude Yushi Qian was, the more reasonable it was. Who could dissuade him?

Seeing the crowd of onlookers starting to gather in every corner inside and outside the yamen, Cao Kaihe, who was pointed at and scolded by Qian Yushi, became impetuous, "Old Qian Gang, do you think I'm scared? You bully me and you can't be unreasonable. ?”

He winked, and immediately three or five people appeared behind him and stepped forward to greet him with curses. One person in front shouted: "I was punting and launching the boat last night, and I managed to save a life from the pile of hidden weapons. Who have you offended? Are you going to be imprisoned in this prison and have the shit basin smashed hard? Brothers, whoever wants to suffer this coward shall suffer! I would rather die than surrender!"

As he said that, he directly picked up Qian Yushi and pulled him out of the right path. The others immediately carried Xu Ming's body and rushed out.

As the saying goes, "When a scholar encounters soldiers, he cannot explain clearly." Qian Yushi was so angry that he had no martial arts skills. He immediately stared at the soldiers, seeing that they were about to leave the Li Xing Yamen!

"presumptuous!"

After a loud shout, I saw a group of people shouting and shouting blocking the door of the yamen. All uniformed soldiers' uniforms were immediately mixed together.

A man dressed in official uniform stepped out from the crowd and shouted: "How can we behave in such a chaotic mess!"

This man had an ordinary face, but he was very upright. There was almost no flesh between his thin lips. His demeanor as he stood in front of the Yamen was very natural.

When Cao Kaihe saw the person coming clearly, he couldn't help being startled, his eyes widened like bells: "Hu Xing, what do you want to do?"

The person who came turned out to be Hu Xing, who was involved in political affairs in Cao. At that time, he was thinking of replacing the governor of water transportation. Hu Xing hugged the thigh of the skinny old man Xie Youlin at the Sanqing Tea House.

"Uncle Linqing, why are you so confused?!"

Hu Xing seemed to have just seen Cao Kaihe clearly, and he immediately broke out of the crowd, panting, and went straight to Qian Yushi first, shouting at the cavalry soldiers who were still holding Qian Yushi, "Why don't you let Master Qian go quickly? Wait a minute. No matter how reckless you are, you shouldn't act like this, don't harm Uncle Linqing!"

As Hu Xing said this, he pulled the cavalry soldiers away, supported Qian Yushi and asked if it was okay.

There was nothing wrong with Qian Yushi. In addition to being angry, the soldiers were actually very serious, and it was quite comfortable for him to pull his arms and legs. But how could he talk about such trivial matters? He snorted heavily at the moment.

Loudao, even said that this Uncle Linqing is so arrogant, Huai'an Prefecture has hidden dragons and crouching tigers, today is an eye-opener.

Hu Xing then turned to Cao Kaihe: "Master Cao, Qian Yushi has a reputation for integrity. We shouldn't be happy at this time: We have a rich man in charge, so why worry about the lack of justice? Even if you are angry and sad, you should still care about it.

The overall situation is better, just be patient!"

He turned his back to Qian Yushi, his tone was sincere, but he winked at Cao Kaihe as he spoke.

Cao Kaihe was sprayed by Qian Yushi for a long time, and his face didn't look good. He rolled his sleeves and snorted.

Hu Xing's eyes were loosened, "Master Cao, if you believe me, just wait for a few more days until we can find out the whole story and get to the bottom of it. At that time, Xu Ming will be buried with dignity and justice will be restored to all the brothers in the Cao army.

"

Then the four sides turned around and raised their voices: "Since Mr. Cao Du is not here, I will temporarily handle the matter here on behalf of Mr. Qiu. Although Xu Ming and his followers are not guilty, they are involved in the major case last night and must cooperate with the investigation. No matter what, they must cooperate with the investigation."

Don't leave this Lixing Yamen for a while. Come on, take over Xu Ming's body and his left and right people."

Cao Kaihe was furious just now, but now he seemed to have gradually calmed down. He actually recalled everyone, handed Xu Ming's body back, and told the group of cavalry soldiers: "Go back to camp quickly, and I will explain everything here to everyone."

.

After the group of cavalry soldiers he brought had retreated with a roar, Cao Kaihe said in a deep voice: "Then we will interrogate you immediately."

Hu Xing praised him and asked Liu Yun: "Master Liu, do you think he will be questioned immediately in front of all your lords?"

From the moment he appeared, he took over the control of the scene and arranged the arrangements for all parties in a few words. He was reasonable and well-founded. Some of the slow responders were even in a daze at this time.

I have to say - this drama was so well performed!

If Liu Yun hadn't known them for a long time, wouldn't he have immediately believed this theory and asked Mr. Hu Xing to participate in politics in an upright and efficient manner?

In fact, as a former member of Cao's party, Liu Yun was very clear about the relationship between Hu Xing and Cao Kaihe. In the final analysis, just as far as helping Zhao Qing to kill Shen Huai, if it weren't for Hu

Cousin Xie Youlin is here, how could he be dragged away by Xu Ming again and again?

Because of this relationship, even though Liu Yun had given up hope of following Xie Youlin's path in getting promoted and making a fortune, he did not dare to offend Hu Xing too much.

Therefore, Liu Yun secretly speculated in his heart: Hu Xing had no reason not to turn towards Cao Kaihe, but he came in a hurry at this time and acted pretentiously. He didn't know what his purpose was?

Liu Yun was wary in his heart, but he held his official hat in his hand, bowed and responded repeatedly, saying: "It's not that there is no trial, but there is still an important witness missing. The witness was seriously injured last night. I don't know if the diagnosis and treatment are properly bandaged at this moment."

, the trial has been delayed so far, which is indeed not intentional."

As if in response to his words, there was the sound of wheels rolling on the bluestone in front of the door, and a simple carriage stopped in front of the Li Xing Yamen.

Shen Huai is here.

Cao Kaihe held out his belly and squinted his eyes, facing the bright sunshine of early spring, watching the young man walk out of the light and calmly step into the Yamen.

This was the first time he met Shen Huai face to face after receiving the news from Zhao Qing.

With this meeting, the anger and heartache that Cao Kaihe had been holding back since early morning suddenly found its direction.

There was no other reason, because after Shen Huai entered the door, he came straight towards him. After a casual salute, he asked calmly:

"Master Cao, Mr. Shen escaped death last night. He is covered in pain. I don't know who he offended and is pursuing him so hard. After thinking about it, I can only think of one person... I heard that Mr. Cao and Zhao Qing acquaintance?"
