"Hahaha, Brother Xiao is here. Sit down, sit down." Li An stood up, grinned, and showed his black and yellow teeth with one missing front tooth towards Xiao Chen.
"You are really a villain. You do one thing in front of your face and another behind your back." Xiao Chen cursed unceremoniously and sat down on the chair opposite Li An.
"We are all brothers, how can we be villains? Aren't I afraid that you will oversleep and delay the delivery of money? Brother Xiao, how can you be so dishonest as you are?" Li An said shamelessly.
Looking at Jia Ren standing next to him, "Steward Jia, do you think so?"
Jia Ren's face twitched.
You yourself were clearly scolding others just now, and now you have kicked the ball to me. How should I answer? Who do I dare to offend?
When he was in a dilemma, Xiao Chen spoke up: "You are really shameless. If I hadn't heard it with my own ears, I wouldn't have known you were such a villain who speaks ill of others behind their backs. Return your money to me and I won't recognize you from now on."
you."
Facing Li An, Xiao Chen stretched out his right hand.
"No, no." Seeing Xiao Chen's serious look, Li An scratched the back of his head and hurriedly smiled, "You know, I only have five thousand taels of silver. Even if I want to give it to you, it's not enough.
How about you, sir, don't remember the faults of villains, don't argue with me, and don't need this money?" After saying that, he stood up, personally picked up a tea bowl from the table, poured a full cup of hot tea, and handed it over with both hands.
.
After taking the tea bowl, Xiao Chen glared at the other person: "I don't have to let you pay back the money. You can also pretend that you didn't hear when you said bad things about me behind my back, but there is something you must do for me."
Li An was startled, and his face became serious: "Is there really something that the Criminal Department needs to do?"
Xiao Chen nodded and narrowed his eyes slightly: "There is a case that I will hand over to the Criminal Department. And you must turn this case into an ironclad case that no one can overturn."
"A solid case? As long as the evidence is solid, how can there be any chance for others to overturn the case? Tell me, what case it is, I will do my best to help you handle it." Li An straightened his body, raised his ears, and waited for Xiao Chen's answer.
Below.
Reaching his right hand into his arms, Xiao Chen took out the letter Duan Tianming gave him and put it on the table.
"See for yourself."
Looking at Xiao Chen, Li An picked up the letter on the table and opened it gently.
Jia Ren, the steward next to him, saw the two of them starting to talk about business and stepped aside knowingly.
"Xi'an Prefecture, Lantian County Magistrate Yang Kang, and son-in-law Ma Lianshan did not hesitate to kill people in order to seize the imperial minerals?" Li An read the letter in a low voice, "Hey, how come Qianhu of Jinyiwei is involved in this?"
"This, is this Dongchang's counterattack against Jin Yiwei?" Li An raised his head with a look of surprise on his face.
"Just tell me, can you make this case a solid case?" Xiao Chen asked calmly.
"As long as it's related to Jin Yiwei, I will use all my energy to turn the case into a solid case." Li An slowly closed the letter, his voice was low but firm.
"Ma Lianshan in this case is the younger brother of Ma Yunshan, the commander of the Jinyiwei. And Ma Yunshan sent Qianhu of the Jinyiwei to secretly go to Xi'an Prefecture in order to say hello to Xi'an Prefecture and suppress this murder case, so as to prevent it from happening.
The discovery of jade mines in the local area was leaked. They corrupted the law, killed people and silenced them. Their ultimate goal was to seize the imperial mines and make them their own. I have already prepared the witnesses and physical evidence for this case. You just need to understand the ins and outs of this case.
, report to the court and the emperor. For seizing the things belonging to the court, not only is Ma Yunshan’s life at stake this time, but Xu Kaiying will also not be able to escape the blame.”
Looking at Li An, Xiao Chen said slowly.
"Okay, leave this matter to me." Li An looked excited, "You can further ferment the following things. It is best to completely change Jin Yiwei's appearance. Thinking of the arrogant and domineering looks of Ma Yunshan and Xu Kaiying,
I can’t wait to take them to the prison of the Ministry of Punishment right away and give them a good beating.”
"Judging from Jin Yiwei's behavior yesterday, the Emperor must have acquiesced. Our targeting of Jin Yiwei this time is tantamount to a slap in the Emperor's face. Therefore, you must make the case an ironclad case that no one can overturn. Even the Emperor
If you want to open the door, you have to make him think twice before he acts." Xiao Chen clenched his fists tightly.
This time, on the surface, he was competing with Jin Yiwei, but in fact, he was challenging the emperor's majesty.
It is easy to win Ma Yunshan, but who can guarantee that Zhang Yunshan and Li Yunshan will not appear immediately after.
If this matter is to be done, it must be done in a big way, so that Jin Yiwei will be completely injured. Even if Zhang Yunshan and Li Yunshan appear, they will not dare to jump too high.
"Yesterday, the Jinyiwei provoked not only our Criminal Department, but also the Crown Prince and the Etiquette Department. They all seemed to ignore it. With the Emperor's tacit approval, I'm just afraid that when we get to the court, the Emperor will turn a big issue into a trivial matter. In the end,
We have been busy all in vain." Li An frowned and said a little worried.
"I know this. The emperor should have secretly given Jinyiwei great power, or in other words, secretly given them an edict. Otherwise, Ma Yunshan had just taken office, and he would not have dared to be so arrogant." Xiao Chen tapped lightly with his right hand.
He was looking at the table, thinking deeply, and said softly.
"Yes, this is what I'm worried about. If they can't kill with one blow, it will be even more difficult for them to restrain themselves in the future and want to deal with them."
"Although the emperor is currently a little partial to Jin Yiwei, he is the emperor of the Ming Dynasty after all. Every plant, tree, mountain and river in the Ming Dynasty belongs to the imperial court. If anyone wants to move the interests of the imperial court, the emperor will never allow it. This case
, you must focus on their attempt to seize the imperial mineral deposits. Put this at the top of the list to handle the case and report to the emperor." Xiao Chen held back his mouth and explained to Li An carefully.
"When will these people be escorted back to the capital?"
"We should be able to arrive tomorrow. I'm here to inform you and prepare for the case. Ma Yunshan and the others don't know that their Qianhu family has been captured, so we must fight quickly and beat them.
I was caught off guard." Xiao Chen lowered his voice.
"Okay, I will do my best on this matter." Li An nodded vigorously.
Jin Yiwei commander Si Yamen, Ma Yunshan sat in his room, holding a letter from his former brother Ma Lianshan, frowning slightly.
It has been a while since Qianhu Zhang Jin left the capital and went to Xi'an, but he has not returned from sending a message, which is really worrying.
However, with Jin Yiwei's reputation, there should be no problem in suppressing an ordinary murder case.
I just don't know how well he communicates with the Xi'an Prefecture, and whether he can bring the Xi'an Prefecture to Jin Yiwei's position.
Yesterday, Li An dared not cooperate with Jin Yiwei's case handling process and did not hand over his income and expenditure accounts to Jin Yiwei. He agreed to send it to Jin Yiwei this time, but there is still no trace of him.
Could it be that he held the title of Minister of the Ministry of Punishment and didn't take Jin Yiwei's words to heart?
No matter what, Zhengchou can't find any reason to deal with you. If this alone were to let the emperor know, he would probably not be satisfied with you.
Thinking of this, Ma Yunshan narrowed his eyes slightly and a sinister smile appeared on his face.
He spread out the paper on the table, picked up the chopstick-thick pen on the inkstone, dipped it in ink, thought about it for a moment, and then wrote Li An's uncooperative behavior on the paper with added embarrassment.
"Ma Tongzhi, what are you busy writing again?" A voice came from the door.
Jin Yiwei commander Xu Kaiying walked in with her left hand behind her back and a pamphlet in her right hand with a smile on her face.
"Oh, Commander, sit down." Ma Yunshan pointed to the seat opposite him with a pen in his hand, "Yesterday I was humiliated in Zhongzheng Restaurant. If I don't report this to the emperor, it will be difficult to understand the hatred in my heart. Li An also
It’s really a big mistake. We agreed to send the account books to Jin Yiwei, but there has been no movement until now. Regardless of whether he has any problems or not, if he just refuses Jin Yiwei’s access to the accounts and reports it to the emperor, he will have a drink.”
"They sent it." Xu Kaiying smiled and put the pamphlet in her hand on the table. "It was just sent here. Take a look at it carefully to see if there are any problems."
"Sent it here? Li An knows his stuff." Putting down the pen in his hand, Ma Yunshan picked up the booklet and began to browse it roughly.
Xu Kaiying looked at the white paper in front of Ma Yunshan, and then at his inkstone, cleared his throat, and said with a smile: "Ma Tongzhi, I know you are bent on achieving results. But yesterday, we suddenly
I have offended four major departments. Can we be more tactful in the future?"
"Oh?" Ma Yunshan raised his head and grinned, "The commander is dissatisfied with my behavior?"
