Chapter 696: When people sit at home, they bring their own blessings and disasters
Xu Duo, Yin of Yingtian Prefecture, has finally seen what it means to sit at home while the pot comes from the sky.
It was originally a good day, and it was rare for him to be safe. He was happily planning to have lunch early so that he and Gaofucheng could take some time to catch a fish.
As a result, there was a click, and a big black pot fell from the sky, and he was directly trapped in it...
"What, Hu Tianci escaped from prison? Is it true?"
"What, he was captured by the Treasure Ship Lifting Division again? Is it true?"
"What, what? The Prosecution Office issued a letter, asking Ying Tianfu to mention the person? Damn it, it's none of my business?!" Xu Fuyin, who was still enjoying himself, found that he had become the biggest one.
"Guawazidi, whose idea was this?" Xu Fuyin threw his beloved fishing rod and cursed: "Why do you need me to pick someone up?"
"Because according to the strong request of Ying Tianfu, starting from the eighth year of Hongwu, the treasure ship lifting department no longer has judicial power, and all suspects captured should be sent to Ying Tianfu for trial." Gao Fucheng explained with a wry smile:
"This is something I fought for with my predecessor."
"Why are you fighting for this thing? Isn't this a scam?" Xu Fuyin was so angry that he would scold anyone he caught, even his own fishing friends. "You are also a fool, you know how to fish all day long.
, I didn’t know I would have told you earlier!”
"It made its own sense at that time." Gaofucheng said without getting upset: "Besides, it's useless for you to yell at me. This person has to be picked up when he deserves it. Be careful of long nights and many dreams."
"Well..." Xu Fuyin understood what Gao Fucheng meant. It was better to bring the person back as soon as possible, verify his identity, and report it to the emperor! Hurry up and get rid of this pot before dark.
If we delay until tomorrow, anything can happen overnight. Then the yellow mud will really fall into the crotch——
It's not a problem, it's a problem.
"Oh, okay, I'd like to trouble you to make a trip." Xu Fuyin handed over the errand to his deputy. "Bring more soldiers and ask Yang Qianhu to accompany you, so that nothing goes wrong."
"It's not a big problem. It's broad daylight and I'm not traveling far away." Gao Fucheng nodded, took Fu Yin's order and military talisman, and went out to order troops and deliver orders.
Only then did Xu Fuyin feel a little more at ease, and quickly started to think about the second thing. Should he inform Xiang Xiang immediately?
He was single-handedly promoted by Hu Weiyong.
But this is nonsense. The officialdom of the Ming Dynasty is famous for its rapid metabolism, and the speed of updating one crop after another is faster than cutting leeks in the field. Those people who were previously raised by Li Shan have been iterated for an unknown period of time.
Except for the few people promoted by the prince in the past two years, which civil servant in the Ming Dynasty was not promoted by Prime Minister Hu?
But no matter what, he had to call Hu Weiyong a favor. Ordinarily, he should inform him immediately.
But if Hu Weiyong fell because of this incident, wouldn't he suffer the same fate?
But if Hu Xiang hadn’t fallen and he hadn’t reported it, he would have been doomed.
‘So can Mr. Hu fail this time?’ Xu Duo weighed in secret and the answer was actually a 50-50 split.
It is said that if he committed such a crime of releasing an imperial prisoner privately, once it was verified, Prime Minister Hu would appoint a successor.
But Hu Xiang is the emperor's favorite, and he is the best at deflecting blame. As long as the emperor doesn't want to mess with him, he will definitely get through...
‘Will the emperor engage in nonsense?’ Xu Duo couldn’t guess the answer. ‘Whether you want to or not, that’s the question...’
While I was thinking hard, Chang Sui came in and reported that Hu De was coming.
"Invite me quickly. Let's have tea in the front hall." Xu Duo didn't dare to show off to this nephew of Hu Xiang. He hurried out to greet him and murmured to himself.
‘Why is he here? Could it be that he wants me to let Master Hu go free?’
"That's not possible!" Xu Duo was startled by his guess, but he couldn't help but start to find reasons and how to reject Hood without offending him.
"What's wrong with Mr. Xu?" Hu De, dressed in casual clothes and carrying a majestic appearance, walked into the front hall.
"Ah, I've met Commander Hu. My subordinate said that I can't do anything without notifying Enxiang!" Xu Duo can be the Yingtian Palace Yin, so he naturally has two skills. At least he can react very quickly.
"Is it because of my god-given brother?" Hood said seriously.
"Commander Hu already knows?" Xu Duo looked surprised.
"Yes, what's so surprising about this? A high-ranking prime minister can't just wait for reports from his subordinates." Hu De said calmly: "My uncle got the news as soon as he went to court, and he was also very shocked. Hurry up and ask Zhao Butang to send someone to the prison to check.
guess what?"
"Is it possible that he is still in prison?" Xu Fuyin followed his intention and asked.
"You guessed it right." Hu De nodded and said, "Zhao Butang replied that he is still in prison. My uncle was worried and asked me to go and see him again. I saw with my own eyes that my God-given brother is indeed still there.
.Go and see if you don’t believe me.”
"That's it..." Xu Duo breathed a long sigh of relief and said, "I thought something big had happened, but it turned out that there was just a thief pretending to be Mr. Hu. It's really ridiculous and hateful."
"Yes, it is really hateful to ruin my uncle's reputation!" Hu De said with an indignation: "That's why my uncle specially ordered me to come here and explain the situation to Xu Fuyin."
"Xiang Hu is so thoughtful." Xu Duo exclaimed, clasping his fists in the direction of Hu's house and saying, "Commander Hu, please tell Xiang Hu that I will find out the case as soon as possible and clear Xiang Hu's name!"
"Hey..." Hood waved his hand and said: "How do you try this kind of case? Whether that person will be admitted by mistake or impersonated, he must look a lot like my God-given brother. When the court opened, he insisted that he was
Tianci, what should you do?"
"Torture, under three trees, to keep him obedient..." Xu Duo blurted out, but in the middle of the sentence, he was choked back by Hood's scary eyes. "There is really no good way."
"Right, do you want my uncle and aunt to go to court and have a blood test to tell the difference?" Hu De said with a slightly brighter expression: "Isn't that a big joke? What's the use of my uncle's appearance? It will not be recorded in the history books in the future.
If you write it down as a joke, it will embarrass Ming Dynasty!"
"Commander Hu's words make sense," Xu Duo echoed and asked tentatively, "What do you think Commander Hu thinks?"
"I don't have any high opinions, I just have a little humble opinion - this kind of liar who involves the prime minister's reputation should not be allowed to appear in court!" Hood said loudly.
"Yes, yes." Xu Duo nodded hurriedly: "But if you are a criminal, you have to go to court."
"Then let him not get to Yingtianfu Yamen!" Hu De said, taking out a porcelain bottle from his sleeve and placing it in front of him.
"This, this..." Xu Duo's pupils shrank sharply, he didn't expect such a method. This is really outrageous. He opened the door for outrageousness - it's so outrageous.
He took a breath of air and said: "Hiss, if the court investigates, this relationship will be serious..."
"The poison was hidden by the prisoner on his body. How much does it matter to you that he committed suicide out of fear of crime?" Hood said, pouring out a wax-sealed pill from the porcelain bottle.
"As for where the prisoner is hidden, I don't need to say more, right? I can only blame the people from the Prosecution Department and Longjiang Office who did not search carefully before and did not find the poison. Shuntian Mansion took over the prisoner from them
, out of trust in colleagues, it is reasonable not to search carefully, right?" Hood taught him unceremoniously:
"If you can't teach it even if you teach it this way, Xu Fuyin should just take one for yourself and have a good time."
ps. There is another chapter, which will be posted in the morning.
