However, he said that Master Yu of fuya saw from the time and reason that Master He of Zhixian thought that the seamless file was actually very unreasonable.
Chen Lu, the prefect who had always been good friends with Liu Xi, did not know at this time that this matter was an unjust case created by Liu Xi with the same hand, so he issued an official document to take the criminals and witnesses to the prefect for retrial.
Liu Xitong of Zhixian County, who sent away the case ticket, was not easy at this time, he had a ghost in his heart, and he was only afraid of traveling to the pool in the middle, and he fidgeted in the county court these two days.
As early as the day of the delivery of the ticket, He Chunfang suggested that Liu Xitong send a close associate to stay in the prefect to inquire about the news;
This hand preparation was He Chunfang's advance calculation, and now it seems that he has once again shown his meticulous intentions.
It was when The master confessed that he would leave Yuhang the next day, and the close confidant brought the news back to Yuhang County that night and brought it to Liu Xitong.
Liu Xitong was horrified, he was really afraid of what was coming, and he was most afraid of others' retrial, but he heard the news of the retrial.
Hurriedly summoned He Chunfang to discuss the plan.
He Chunfang was not a straw bag like Liu Xitong, and he had already thought of this possibility: "Since The Prefect Chen wants to retry, it means that he has found doubts in it." ”
In this way, Liu Xitong was even more anxious, which was related to the life of his only son, Liu Zihe, and he could not sit still at once, constantly sighing and pacing back and forth.
Mrs. Liu also walked in at this time, and when she heard that the case had been repeated again, she didn't want to do anything else, but only shouted at He Chunfang: "Master He, you have already got the thousands of taels of silver, why didn't things happen well?" People say' 'take people's money and be loyal to others', how do you do this? ”
He Chunfang was very disgusted with this stupid woman, and ignored her, or said to Liu Xitong: "Since The Chen Prefect senses that something is wrong, he must inquire into the case in detail." ”
"Although this case has been arranged very meticulously, in the end everything is false, and if Chen Zhifu has the heart to investigate, it is difficult not to be found out by him."
Liu Xitong stomped his feet: "Master, you only said that what can you do about this matter now?" ”
He Chunfang said leisurely, "It's not difficult to say. The old man and The Chen Prefect have always had a good relationship, and before the retrial, they discussed some friendships with him and revealed some hidden feelings, as long as he was willing to open his eyes and close his eyes, it would probably pass. ”
Liu Xitong thought about it and shook his head suddenly: "Where is the master who said it so simple?" I've only given him gifts a few times, and I'm not very affectionate. ”
He Chunfang smiled, "That's it! It is naturally not enough to talk about friendship, but I don't know if the old man is willing to spend some silver for Yauchi? ”
Mrs. Liu shouted from the side: "Master only said that sending him money will be over, and it will be half a day!" As long as my son is fine, I am willing to spend tens of thousands of silver! ”
He Chunfang nodded, "This is easy to do." With the old man's friendship with him, he spelled out another 20,000 pieces of silver, and he dared to make a guarantee: he must be successful. ”
Liu Xitong listened and said, "Now I'm going to the mansion overnight." ”
He Chunfang stopped and said, "Old Master, don't worry, the prisoners are still in our hands." Since The Chen Prefect issued an order to retry, it must still be tried. The old man said that he had made sense of the Chen Prefect Mansion, and he should only go through the motions. However, the little cabbage side still had to be appeased, and Yang Naiwu also had to be intimidated. Wouldn't it be all right to wait until this is done and then hand over the prisoners? ”
Liu Xitong nodded.
Not to mention how the little cabbage was coaxed again, nor how Yang Naiwu was intimidated; by the time the prefect came to receive it the next day, Liu Xitong was already on his way to the ship in Hangzhou with thirty or forty thousand silver tickets.
This time, Liu Xitong did not dare to show off, and quietly arrived at the prefect's yamen with He Chunfang hiring a small boat.
Chen Lu was very surprised to hear that Liu Xitong had arrived in civilian clothes, knowing that it was not an official affair, so he set up tea reception in the study.
He Chunfang did not go in, went alone to see the third class of servants, took out a thousand and two silver tickets, and only said: Please pay more attention to the case submitted by Yu Hang!
Only this one sentence, not one more polite word, so I withdrew and left.
If others saw He Chunfang's actions, they would be a little surprised, even if they knew that the officials at the end of the Qing Dynasty were extremely corrupt, and the relationships were endless, it was not surprising that these public servants had long been accustomed to receiving money.
But when he saw him take out a thousand taels of silver, this kind of large-scale money was rare, and all of them understood that there were major hidden plots in this case, but they were very interesting not to ask in detail.
This has long become the norm, and there is no need for He Chunfang to explain more.
In the study room, Liu Xitong's work was also simple and rude, seeing that there was no one around, he put down the tea cup, took out a stack of silver tickets and pushed it to Chen Lu: "Your Honor, the lowly man is here for yang Naiwu's case." What the adults have noticed is that there are indeed some twists and turns in the matter, but he and the humble people have some grudges in the past, and they only wish that the adult will forgive the inferiority, according to the judgment of the file submitted, and the humble will be grateful for the rest of his life! ”
Chen Lu listened to Liu Xitong's words and immediately understood that Master Yu's judgment was indeed correct—Yang Naiwu was indeed wronged.
For more than a year in this prefect's office, he has never been a greedy official with two eyes and only recognizing money, but he has also done some good deeds with the assistance of his master.
But at present, this Liu Xi has always been a small flattery during the New Year's Festival, and there has never been a shortage of tribute, and he has never been used as a prefect in the past.
This is still the second, and the silver ticket on the table in front of him is also about 20,000 yuan, which is indeed a big temptation for Chen Lu, an official who is an officer.
After only a short thought, Chen Lu said, "This official does not want to know the details of this case, so he will uphold the original judgment according to you; but there is only one more section: This retrial is Master Yu's idea, but I am afraid that he will still have to spend some effort on you." ”
Liu Xitong said, "Master Yu has always been an adult humerus, as long as the adults are informed, where do you have to bow down and persuade." ”
After saying that, he took out three thousand two silver tickets and gently placed them on the table: "Master Yu is hard, please bring admiration to the lowly." ”
Chen Lu didn't say much: "Since this is the case, you still have to go back to Yuhang early, and it is also inconvenient to be seen." ”
Out of the mansion, Liu Xitong met with He Chunfang, said a few words to each other, and immediately showed a satisfied smile.
Lowered the brim of his hat, returned to the boat and rushed back to Yuhang...
At this time, Yang Naiwu was on his way to Hangzhou, and when someone came to threaten him yesterday, Yang Naiwu was already keenly aware that today the prefect was going to retry his case.
This way Yang Naiwu thought a lot, and his mood was very excited;
Through the crevices of the cabin he saw the sun; it seemed that these long-lost warm winter suns foreshadowed that his trip to Hangzhou would be unjustly snowy!
I also thought about how spirited I was on last month's trip to Hangzhou to catch the exam, and how I raised my eyebrows when I came back!
Who knew that fate was so many, in the blink of an eye, he had changed from a proud son of heaven to a death row prisoner under the ranks!
He did not expect that this trip to Hangzhou, full of hope, was destined to be a trip without good results under the control of officials at both levels.
Predicting what unspeakable misery Yang Naiwu will experience, and what will that innocent Master Yu look like when he faces three thousand taels of silver?
Tomorrow.
Yang Naiwu's case is not as simple as an ordinary civil case, Xiao Qi has mentioned many times before Zeng Guofan, the Han army established by the Han people to extinguish the Taiping Heavenly Kingdom, the Xiang Army, which has a lot of implications.
Not only is it related to Yang Naiwu, the two ordinary parties to the case, but also to these Han officers who are jealous of the imperial court, and the prefect Chen Lu mentioned today was once from the Xiang Army.
