Chapter 1096: Blackmailing? I can do it too! (Part 1)
Looking at Chang'an, who doesn't know the name of Lady Wu?
A female prostitute, as young as a flower, was able to manage Fang Jun's huge property in Guanzhong in an orderly manner, making the Fang family prosperous. She secretly envied so many Junyans in Guanzhong! How could such a talented and beautiful celebrity be so successful? Falling on Fang Jun's bed?
I don’t know how many people feel regretful...
Because Qi Wang Li You had a close relationship with Fang Jun and had many business contacts, Wei Ting knew Wu Meiniang very well. He knew that this beautiful woman who seemed delicate, frail, smiling, gentle and amiable was actually a great beauty. A heroine, regardless of her ability to deal with merchants or train servants in the palace, she is the best choice and is not inferior to men.
The matter of the Ministry of Punishment's detention room is unreasonable. It would be better if Princess Gaoyang came alone. She just wanted to vent her anger based on her status and just hold her nose and be careful. I don't think there will be too many twists and turns.
But Wu Meiniang also came together, and Wei Ting's heart suddenly lifted.
This concubine of Fang Jun is not easy to deal with...
Wei Ting invited Princess Gaoyang and Wu Meiniang into the main hall and seated them as guests. He also ordered the clerk to bring fragrant tea, and then he sat with them.
He respectfully asked: "Why did Your Highness come to the Yamen of the Ministry of Justice? The lower official knows clearly. It is said that His Highness is so respectful that I should do everything I can. However, the Linghu family has already sued Fang Jialang for deliberately injuring people and causing serious injuries." , the clerk in the yamen approved the filing of the case without finding out the reasons, and the case handling process has already been started. I was able to take charge of the Tang Dynasty Penal Prison due to your majesty's kindness. I walked on thin ice with trepidation, not daring to slack off for a moment, for fear of living up to the holy grace and disrupting the law system. .Therefore, Your Highness please forgive me for being bold and not to release Fang Yize without authorization, but I can guarantee that the trial will be fair and will not be biased."
He was quite candid and made the topic clear. One end is the Fang family, His Highness you, the other end is Linghu Defen, and the Guanlong Group. We can't afford to offend anyone, so we can only help each other.
How could Princess Gaoyang be dismissed so easily by him? If Fang Yize cannot be brought back today, then her face and the face of the Fang family will be completely ruined.
Princess Gaoyang's straight and slender waist shows the good etiquette of the royal family. Her demeanor and manners are impeccable, but her words are aggressive.
"Wei Shangshu misunderstood. I am not here to ask you for favors today. Since Linghu Suo sued my Sanlang for causing serious injuries, and he is indeed seriously injured now, no matter who did it, our Fang family will accept the blame. "The Law of Zhenguan" mentions the idea of atonement with a fine. My Sanlang did not injure anyone to death, nor is he a heinous crime, so he can be forgiven with money. Wei Shangshu, please make a price, and our Fang family will never counter-offer."
A wave of contemptuous disdain and thick domineering air came to my face!
Wu Meiniang secretly applauded.
Wei Ting had a wry smile on his face.
Since it is not a heinous crime, it can be redeemed with gold. Who in the world does not know the name of Fang Jun, the God of Wealth? His ability to make money is unparalleled in the world. His saying "Things that can be solved with money are never problems" are even more famous all over the world, both young and old. Everyone knows...
Normally, this kind of fight between dudes is a no-brainer. As long as there is no injury or disability, the family will not interfere. Now the Linghu family is aggressive and unwilling to give up, and the Fang family is willing to spend money to reconcile, which is naturally the most ideal outcome. .
But now the situation is different. Fang Jun is at a disadvantage against the Guanlong Group in a tit-for-tat confrontation. The entire Guanlong Group is looking for Fang Jun's weaknesses to give him a fatal blow. If the Ministry of Punishment collects money from the Fang family to allow him to atone for his sins, wouldn't it be the same as Guan Long's? Group against each other?
Wei Ting looked embarrassed, thinking about his words...
A burst of footsteps sounded outside the hall, faintly accompanied by the noise of life.
Wei Ting raised his eyebrows, anger emerging.
This is the lobby of the Ministry of Justice!
Why are two of them treating this place as a vegetable market today, and anyone wants to come and cause trouble?
The Princess Gaoyang in front of her could not afford to provoke her. She was already sulking. At this time, she could not hide her anger. Her face suddenly darkened and she shouted in a deep voice: "Who is making noise outside? This is the lobby of the Ministry of Justice, not a brothel! Again, this is
If you are making such a big noise, I will punish you and give you twenty big blows!"
A strong voice sounded at the door.
"Is Wei Shangshu trying to show off his official authority with this old man? Haha, what a great evil spirit! Even the old man in Your Majesty's Tai Chi Palace wants to go whenever he wants, but he doesn't know that your punishment department has turned into a dragon's den and a tiger's den.
Want to have a killing blow?"
Wei Ting turned his head in astonishment and saw an old man with white beard and hair and a stocky figure walking quickly into the lobby, his face full of anger and majesty.
Behind him were two clerks from the Ministry of Justice. They pretended to sit down and blocked the old man for a while before letting the old man in. Then he spread his hands and said with a look of shame: "Wei Shangshu, we really can't stop you. Look..."
Wei Ting snorted and waved his hand.
The two scribes immediately turned around and retreated.
Wei Ting looked at the old man and saluted: "I have met Linghu Shangshu."
What can't be stopped?
He didn't want to stop him at all, and it was even these bastards who tipped him off to recruit him!
This old man is surprisingly Linghu Defen, the new Minister of Rites!
The two men had the same official position, except that Linghu Defen was more senior, and Wei Ting was three points shorter when he held the disciple ceremony in front of him.
Linghu Defen has always relied on his old age to show off his old age. Even the most outstanding figure in Webster did not take it seriously. He just nodded slightly and turned his eyes to Princess Gaoyang who was in charge. He bowed his arms to the ground and said loudly: "Old Minister Linghu Defen
Fen, I have met His Highness Gao Yang."
Princess Gaoyang's pretty face was expressionless, and she just said lightly: "Get flat."
Although I don't have any good impression of this old guy in my heart, after all, his qualifications are there, so I don't want to be too rude.
Linghu Defen said "Thank you, Your Highness", then straightened his waist, looked directly at Princess Gaoyang, and said in a deep voice: "The bad grandson in the family is young and ignorant, and accidentally bumped into Your Highness. I will apologize to Your Highness on my behalf."
He said he was apologizing, but there was no hint of apology in his words and expression, and his eyes were burning.
Princess Gaoyang was speechless for a moment.
Linghu Suo was also beaten, but Linghu Defen did not investigate whether he had collided with her or not. On the contrary, she did not know how to respond.
Wu Meiniang's eyes flashed, and she interjected lightly: "If apology is useful, why do you need the Ministry of Punishment?"
There was a sudden silence in the lobby.
Wei Ting's eyes widened, as if he was meeting Wu Meiniang for the first time.
It turns out that the person in the Fang family who most resembles Fang Jun is not the aggressive Princess Gaoyang, but the seemingly charming and gentle Wu Meiniang...
Wei Ting applauded Wu Meiniang's words in his heart.
If the allocation is the most useful, why would the Ministry of Punishment be needed?
What he said makes so much sense and is so talented...
Princess Gaoyang bit her lip with her white teeth, trying not to laugh out loud.
She often heard this sentence at home. Lang Jun's original words were "Why do we need the police if an apology is useful?" Although she didn't know what the police were, Wu Meiniang was so relieved when she quoted Lang Jun's words at this moment!
If you want to apologize, just apologize?
I haven’t agreed yet…
Linghu Defen's silver hair almost stood on end, and the white beard under his chin was almost like a halberd or a spear!
The old man was so angry that his nose was smoking!
How could this Fang family come out to be such an angry bastard who would not pay for his life?
In the past, he was ridiculed and ridiculed by Fang Jun many times, thinking that Fang Jun was the most shameless and annoying person in the world. But now when he saw Wu Meiniang's delicate and delicate appearance, he realized that Fang Jun was like a little witch compared to her.
Meet the great witch!
Because this is a woman!
A woman who is not much older than her grandson actually said such contemptuous and insulting words to herself?
Linghu Defen was so angry that he trembled all over and wanted to scold Wu Meiniang. The "gentleman's quality" he had always cultivated made him unable to let go of his pride and quarrel with Wu Meiniang. He turned to Princess Gaoyang angrily and said: "Since the old minister has replaced the evil grandson,
His Highness apologized, and Your Highness accepted it, and the matter was settled. So, does Your Highness have an explanation for instigating his generals to beat and seriously injure my wretched grandson?"
The whole room was stunned.
Feelings: This well-educated scholar who has always been highly respected is even more shameless than these two women when he acts like a rogue!
The first one apologized on behalf of his grandson, but the second one acted like a rogue and asked for an explanation from Princess Gaoyang. This style was just like the scoundrels in the market, even more shameless.
Is this still the great Confucian Linghu Defen of the generation who "showed off his love for the mountains and rivers, and lingered on the pleasures of literature and wine"?
