Chapter 175 Don't Take Yourself Too Seriously (1)
"Li Jinglong is not good, he is too exaggerated. How can he rely on his mouth alone when doing things? Be steady in life. Don't look at him as a fish in water now, but sooner or later there will be the day when he will sprain the mud!"
Hu Guan walked upright and thought, "You have to go the right way in life and do things, be down-to-earth and steady, don't let people grasp the handle, but you can't be afraid of things. If you stand upright, you don't need others to look down on me! If you look down on me, I still look down on you!"
Thinking in his heart, he was approaching the gate of the tutoring department, he looked up inadvertently on the horse's back, but was stunned.
A man opposite him was also staring at him blankly on the horse's back.
"Your Majesty, aren't you going out of the city to take a walk?" Li Jinglong said with a teasing look on his lips.
Hu Guan's face turned red, "That...that..." and looked at the gate of the Fufu Division, "Duke Cao came to Fufu Division?"
"I have the job of a co-organizer! That's it..." Li Jinglong said, making a gesture of five, and laughed, "Mr. Prince Consort, can you come here too...?"
As he was talking, the commander of the Jinyiwei, He Guangyi, led his men to strode out from it.
"Old He!" Li Jinglong said with a smile.
He Guangyi nodded to him and walked towards Hu Guan in Li Jinglong's surprised gaze.
"I've met the prince-consort!"
"Don't!" Hu Guan quickly jumped off his horse and helped the other party up, "What a humble job or not? You are older than me!"
"The prince-in-law is joking!" He Guangyi smiled and bowed his hands and said seriously, "The decree of the palace has been sent. Just now, the imperial edicts and others are still inquiring about it. It just so happened that there are prisoners escorted from the Central Plains today, and they are about to open a trial!"
"What should you do? I'm just an audience!" Hu Guan said with a smile.
"Mr. Prince Consort, please come inside!" He Guangyi slightly turned sideways and asked someone to lead the way in.
Li Jinglong was stunned when he saw this scene. After waiting for someone to enter, he pulled He Guangyi and said, "What's going on?"
"The emperor ordered the prince consort as the supervisor!" He Guangyi looked at him, "Don't you know?"
"I...I didn't enter the palace today!" Li Jinglong fell into deep thought.
~~
"First, it was the commander of the Dufu Guard, and then it was Guanglu Temple. Now I have called the supervisor!"
Li Jinglong began to think in his heart, "Just like this son-in-law who was still wandering on the guards in his thirties, suddenly the Holy Family is prosperous?"
"What did the emperor use him to do with his elm head?"
"Well, no matter why he is now in the eyes of the emperor, it will always be no harm to have a good relationship with him in the future! His son will be a hundred days after the full month, so prepare a generous gift at that time!"
Thinking in his heart, he sighed again, "Hey, everyone says I love money, what can I do? This capital is full of gods, and the people who have been taking out all year round are all fucking! "
Thinking in a mess, he entered the room where the prisoner was interrogated.
In the room, Bao Zhao was like someone who owed him two hundred yuan, and sat on his head without looking sideways. He Guangyi sat down and nodded slightly at Li Jinglong.
Xin Yande seemed to have a grudge against someone, and he competed with himself with a stern face.
Hu Guan sat at the end, in an inconspicuous corner.
Li Jinglong looked at them and walked towards the corner of the wall automatically and sat down next to Hu Guan.
"It's so cold today, my son-in-law!" Li Jinglong whispered, rubbing his hands.
"There is a charcoal basin in front of you, go grill it!" Hu Guan said with a smile.
"After listening, I'll find a place to have a few drinks?" Li Jinglong said again, "The dishes in Hongfulou are good, the dishes in serious Shandong cuisine."
Hu Guan blinked, "The food in your mansion is so good, are you still going out to eat?"
"Look at what you said, no matter how good the food at home is, there will always be times when you get tired of it!" Li Jinglong smirked twice.
After a while, Hu Guan didn't even say anything, just one word, "Oh!"
"Fuck you..." Li Jinglong cursed in his heart. Hu Guan's words can choke people to death. He is now a dog biting turtle to Hu Guan and has no idea.
The other party seemed to not give him a chance to get close to him.
He was about to say something else, but suddenly he saw the front of him turn around at the same time and look at him with a serious look on his face.
That means, what are you muttering over there!
Then, the Minister of the Ministry of Revenue Zhang Yu came in, looked at everyone, and said, "Everyone, I won't talk about the rules. After reviewing the criminal, we will make sure that the confession is correct. Let's sign and seal it. Then we will copy it in duplicate, and the Duke Cao and Prince Hu will use the seal!"
As he said that, he sat down, and then said, "Take a prisoner!"
~~
Not long after the words were finished, an official with disheveled hair and shivering in a single suit was pulled in from outside by the Jinyiwei.
The man's face and hands were covered with frostbite. I believe that he would have suffered a lot when he was escorted along the way.
"Kneel down..." The Jinyiwei stepped on the criminal's leg and thumped on the ground.
After lying down, the traces of whipping on his back were suddenly impressed, and some places even had their clothes stuck to their flesh, which was shocking.
"The people from the Jinyiwei used lynching on the way to escort the prisoner!" Hu Guan secretly wrote down in his heart.
After the criminal fell down, he kept trembling on the ground and struggled for a few times but didn't stand up.
No one was talking in the room, and Hu Guan observed the expressions of the people around him.
He Guangyi was indifferent, Zhang Ju felt unbearable, Bao Zhao was angry that he did not fight, and Li Jinglong had nothing to do with him. Xin Yande wanted to speak but did not speak because he was the youngest among these people.
"There is no such trial for the interrogation. Before I came, the emperor told me to supervise and see if there were any good people wrongly accusing them. It is inappropriate to use punishment before the trial. If the emperor asked me to supervise, then I would have to fulfill the supervisory duty."
Thinking of this, Hu Guan spoke in the unexpected eyes of the crowd, "Would you like to bring him a stool and let him sit and say!"
He Guangyi turned his head slightly and smiled at Hu Guan, then nodded at the Jinyiwei at the door.
He took a stool and sat down powerlessly, and said hoarsely, "Thank you, the official..."
"Give him some hot water!" Hu Guan continued, "He is like this now, and he doesn't speak well, so it's hard to ask!"
"What do you care about this?" Li Jinglong said hurriedly, leaning his ear.
"Since the emperor asked me to supervise, that's my duty!" Hu Guan looked at everyone, "He came from Zhongyuan. Now he is suspicious, not convicted. If he is convicted, we don't need to retrial."
"Besides, the trial should look like a trial. This... is a bit inappropriate to be punished directly." Hu Guan continued, "Even if he wants to use punishment, he will make a quibble or his words are not practical."
As he said that, he paused, "I am not a good person either. Since I am a criminal offender, the emperor will definitely ask about it in the future. When the emperor asks, he will change his words and say that he will be scolded. You and I are responsible!"
"There is another inappropriate thing. He is now a prisoner escorted, but there is no imperial edict to deprive him of his official position. Like me and everyone, he is a minister of the Ming Dynasty. How can he make him kneel against us? He only kneels against the Lord Long Live!"
These words were quite surprising.
He Guangyi had no expression. In his opinion, the prisoner was going to be beaten.
Zhang Jue and Xin Yande, even Bao Zhao showed praise, and rarely showed goodwill to him and his husband's consort.
"What the prince consort said!" Li Jinglong also said, "After the criminal is killed or cut, he will be convicted." As he said that, he smiled at Hu Guan and said, "You are kind-hearted!"

After drinking some hot water, the person seemed to be much more energetic and gradually became angry in his eyes.
"Are you the governor of Xuchang Zhang Xu?" He Guangyi asked.
"It's the official!" Zhang Xu said, coughing a few times.
"The rice, grain, wheat and beans collected from grain merchants in seven large warehouses in Xuchang's official warehouses are either moldy or mixed with sand and gravel, and the account expenditure is seriously inconsistent with the actual grain storage. What do you have to say?" Bao Zhao also asked.
Zhang Xu's lips moved, and his nervous expression was beyond words.
"I advise you to say whatever you want. Once you enter this place, there will be no innocent people!" He Guangyi said, "Now you will give you a chance to speak well. If you don't speak well, you will know what life is worse than death when you are punished!"
"Xiaoguan..." Zhang Xu cried a little, "It was the people from the Zhou royal palace who found Xiaguan and asked Xiaguan to take care of their designated grain merchants."
"Who thought that those merchants were brave enough to join hands with the minor officials of the official warehouse. They used inferior products as good and bad food as the first-class first-class. Then the cart entered the east gate and left the west gate, and a cart weighed three times."
"Xiaguan didn't know at the time, and it was only after the inspection of Guan Cang that he found out..."
"Who is the one who is looking for you from the Zhou royal palace? Who is the grain merchant introduced?" He Guangyi asked.
"It's the husband of King Zhou... the subordinate is just a prefect, how dare you offend..."
Bao Zhao said, "It's better to bring Brother Zhou's milk up and confront him in front of him!"
"This..." He Guangyi paused, looked at Li Jinglong, and then whispered, "That man was too severe torture and couldn't stand it!"
