Chapter 948 Trial
After such an incident, Wang Ying was so chastened by Su You that he no longer dared to take risks. Now he just wanted to hand over the work as soon as possible. Su You's move was really a sleepy pillow.
He was originally prepared to be bullied severely by Su You, thinking that I would just lie down and pretend to be dead, but he didn't expect that after Su You tricked him, he would put him down gently. It was really unexpected.
.
If this ladder does not continue, I am afraid that there will be more pits waiting for me. The big guys in the court have too many twists and turns. At first, he wanted to bully Su You for his youth and arrogance. In the end, he finally learned the lesson of the second-grade bachelor of the court.
The city is really unfathomable.
Wang Ying was an old official, and he judged the difference in weight between the new censor and the veteran officials in a blink of an eye. Hahaha, I was afraid that this lawsuit would have to be fought again after the bachelor came to Beijing, so he quickly handed over his hand and said: "Thank you, university."
The scholar will be considerate of the younger ones, and the younger ones will promise not to cause any more trouble to the great scholar."
Su You also admired Wang Ying very much, saying that your official position is as clear as water, but your officials are as slippery as oil. This is the kind of person he is talking about.
Several people got on their horses and ran back to the dock, but Sitong Trading Company had already prepared a quick silver boat.
Su You got off his horse and asked, "Brother Xiao Qi, where is Wei'er?"
Zhang Qi looked at the water gate entrance of the pier: "The young lady has already set off ahead of time. She said she was rushing home to take a look at the flat jars and colanders."
Su You couldn't help but smile bitterly. This wife was good at everything, but she was quite independent. She was from a noble family, but she acted like a gangster.
No, I have to get into Beijing before her, lest she cause trouble.
He turned to Zhang San and said, "Third brother, please take your time to deliver the goods. Don't be anxious. Mr. Da will be fine."
Zhang San had just rushed over from the Shipping Department, and the delivery had not even been carried out: "Master, I will go with you."
Su You shook his head: "No, shipping is a major matter for the country. One entry into the port is worth tens of millions. The more times like this, the more careful you must be to not follow the facts."
Zhang San said anxiously: "Leave this to Xiao Qi, he is also an expert, I will sail the boat for the young master!"
The Yamen of the Shipbuilding Division had been alerted, and the eyes of the people around the dock had turned towards this side. Su You quickly lifted up the hem of his clothes: "Okay, let's leave quickly, otherwise it will be difficult." He turned around and quickly got on the boat.
Several people also quickly boarded the ship. Zhang Qi cooperated with Zhang San to untie the cable, Su You opened the sail, and the Kuaiyin ship turned the rudder and sailed out of the Qiantang River.
The crowd gathered on the pier and started talking: "Is that little Su Shaobao just now?"
"It seems so, but why did you leave again?"
"It's probably because there's something big going on in the court, and the officials are urgently summoned."
"When Shaobao comes back this time, it's finally time to become Prime Minister, right?"
"That must be the case! Among all the husband-in-laws in the court, how many of them have the ability of little Su Shaobao? Our court will be blessed in the end..."
"It's hard to tell... Mr. Su was arrested a few days ago. I don't know if Shaobao will be affected. Why is it so difficult for Shaobao to enter the court?"
"Humph! If Shaobao can't get into the center, that means there is a treacherous minister in the court!"
"Yes! He's like Yelu Yisun, the pretty white-faced guy from Liao Dynasty! He's been in "Echoy Court"!"
"Oh, Lao Li, he still dares to say anything. The news has been very tight recently. You should go far away and don't get close to me..."
Not to mention the people in Hangzhou who speculated that the Kuaiyin ship disappeared in the blink of an eye, just like cutting through the waves.
The reason why the Kuaiyin boat is fast is that it is a catamaran. The underwater part is like two sharp ice blades. It has very good stability and seaworthiness, and the space is relatively spacious.
In addition to the ballast tanks, the upper layer of the two bottom tanks is directly filled with tetrabutyl honeycomb tissue. Each small compartment is only the size of honeycomb briquettes. In theory, the hull will not be afraid of any serious damage, achieving the "unsinkable" effect.
This is the fastest sailing boat in Sitong today. In one measurement, it once reached a peak speed of thirty-four knots.
Moreover, the boat is very simple to control. In extreme situations like now, only two people are needed to sail the boat.
However, the load capacity is relatively weak. This ship is used by Sitong Company to transport important bills and emergency messages.
There are seven more ships of the same type, respectively contacting Shuzhong, Bianjing, Zhangzi Island, and Longya Port.
With favorable sea winds, even from Hangzhou to Korea, it only takes fifteen days!
Several of the officials at the Yushitai had played with such high-end products before, and their faces turned pale with shock. They couldn't help complaining about Wang Ying. This business trip was really unlucky!
At this moment, Su You entered the cabin: "Everyone, fasten your seat belts, we are going to speed up."
"What?!" Wang Ying jumped up in shock: "Are you still speeding up? Bachelor, we are not in a hurry..."
"The Wutai document says to do it as soon as possible." Before Wang Ying could finish his words, Su You pushed him back into his seat and fastened the seat belt around his waist: "There is food and drink in the backrest in front of the seat.
Yes, you can take it if you want. By the way, there is also a vomiting bag. If you can't, just take out the bag and vomit inside."
At this moment, Wang Ying really wanted to die, because everything about this ship was weird, and he didn't understand what the bachelor's words meant at all.
The unknown is the scariest thing.
However, Cheng Yue still looked indifferent, while Ping Zhengsheng's face was full of excitement and excitement.
I have been pestering my brother-in-law to try it out for a long time, and today I finally got my wish.
The entire Kuaiyin ship is luxuriously decorated, because those who can get on this ship have a very high status in Sitong, and Sitong is not short of money.
Ping Zhengsheng curiously opened the small compartment behind the chair in front of him: "Hey, canned lychees! Oh, this is a canned bird's nest! There are also fish floss buns!"
After saying that, he opened one, took a sip of sugar water, and said to Wang Ying beside him: "You have some before, don't you want to try it?"
Wang Ying didn't know who he was. He held the backrest in front of him with both hands and closed his eyes tightly: "Young Master...You don't have to worry about me...I...I'm a little panicked..."
At this moment, a "bang" sound came from behind, which was Zhang San lowering the main sail. Immediately afterwards, everyone felt that the Quicksilver boat began to accelerate suddenly, and then the hull began to tilt gradually.
Wang Ying was so frightened that he shrank suddenly, his whole body was trembling, and he screamed miserably: "I'm going to collapse, hiccup!"
However, Ping Zhengsheng blocked his mouth with a small piece of bread.
From the large closed glass window of the slightly tilted rest cabin, Taira Masamori could see the blue sea and the white waves stirred up by the water split by the bow of the ship.
Pouring the sweet rock sugar bird's nest into his mouth with one hand, he touched the rosewood board coated with coconut wax: "It's so rich... it's so fast..."
The wind direction was favorable, and in just two days, the Kuaiyin boat sailed around Shanghai, passed Yangzhou, Gaoyou, and entered Hongze Lake!
This is of course related to Zhang San’s superb sailing skills.
That night, the ship docked at the mouth of Hongze Lake in Bian Canal, Sizhou. Suyou strictly prohibited everyone from disembarking, so they ate and slept on the ship. The next day, as soon as they could barely see the channel clearly, they weighed anchor and sailed along Bian Canal towards Bianjing.
We arrived in Suzhou on the same day, Yingtian on the fourth day, and Bianjing on the fifth day!
Compared with the time when Wang Anshi returned to power for the second time, it only took seven days to rush from Jiangning to Bianjing, catching Lu Huiqing off guard, which was half as fast!
…
In Yushitai, Su Shi was arrested on July 28th and sent to the prison in Yushitai on August 18th. On the 20th, he was formally arraigned.
The old rule is to first report your age, lineage, place of origin, and the year and month you passed the imperial examination, and then describe your previous official positions and the people he recommended as officials.
Then there was the punishment from the court that he had suffered.
Su Shi had two demerits recorded since he became an official. One time was when Ren Fengxiang was passing judgment. He failed to attend the autumn official ceremony due to a disagreement with Chen Xiliang, and was fined eight pounds of red copper.
Another time when he was in office in Hangzhou, he was fined eight pounds of red copper because a petty official misappropriated public funds and failed to report it.
"In addition, there is no bad record."
Under the auspices of Li Ding, Su Shi only admitted at first that the "Five Wonders of Mountain Villages" written by him during his trip to the villages near Hangzhou, "Winning children's pronunciation is good, and they can survive in the city for a year and a half" was indeed a satire on the Qingmiao Law, and "Isn't it true?
"Wen Shao explains the forgetful taste, the last three months I have eaten without salt" is also a satire on the salt law. Apart from this, the rest of the text has nothing to do with current affairs.
On the 22nd, the Yushitai interrogated him again and asked him about the meaning of the two sentences in "Watching the Tide on August 15th": "If the East China Sea knows its purpose, it should be taught to rebuke the sea and turn it into a mulberry field." He delayed it until the 24th.
It was said that it was "a satire on the difficulty of water conservancy in the imperial court."
As for the poem "The Actor's Notes" that defies the "emerging laws of the imperial court", the explanation was not given until the 28th.
