I'm afraid that this guy's daring to do this is not only because of the guidance of an expert, but also because he has some clues about Duke Fushi. And it's the kind of big deal that makes Duke Fu Shi, even if someone puts all the blame on him, he can only acquiesce. And what kind of handle could make an arrogant and lawless county official take the blame for him honestly?
According to his own emperor Taizu, who wanted his descendants to enjoy the glory forever with the world he conquered. It was stipulated at that time that unless the clan members committed the serious crime of treason, they could not be executed. Even if someone commits the serious crime of treason, he is not allowed to publicly punish him with a knife or axe. In the worst case, the culprit can only be sentenced to death or given poisonous wine.
In other words, the reason why Duke Fushi was so honest was most likely to be a treasonous person, enough to imprison or hang him. That's why Duke Fushi was willing to take the blame for him. Compared with treason, robbing 10,000 stones of grain relief may result in punishment. The most is imprisonment, and the title will be handed over to his son in advance. Comparing the two, they pale into insignificance.
Two six-year terms as prefect were enough for the prefect to weave a dense network in Yan'an Prefecture. In this net, Duke Fushi is probably just a small fish. As for who the biggest fish was, Huang Qiong didn't know for a while. However, this Yan'an prefect was able to serve as prefect for two full years, even though Yan'an was a poor prefecture.
But the status of the person behind it is probably not too low. You know, even if it is a poor government, a prefect can still be regarded as a thousand miles away. A small county magistrate can be called Bailihou, let alone Yan'an Prefecture, which covers three states and sixteen counties. After all, he can be considered a Qianlihou. Although it is a poor mansion, it is a first-class big mansion in terms of population and area.
In such a position as the prefect of a large government, he can serve two terms. Violating the imperial court's three-year term and not being re-elected except by special decree is only something an ordinary fourth-grade official can do. This requires starting from the Shaanxi Appeasement Department, to the Central Secretariat, Shangshu, and the Ministry of Civil Affairs, and even convincing old men who are rigid and rarely make exceptions. This little fourth-grade prefect has a lot of energy behind him.
Thinking of this, Huang Qiong couldn't help but smile. It seems that in this small Yan'an Mansion, it can be said that there is a crouching tiger, hidden dragon. As for how big the biggest fish is and who else is behind the scenes, you still need to investigate carefully. As for Duke Fushi, who should be his cousin according to his seniority, it seems that he should pay a visit tomorrow.
But when he thought of the old man's imperial edict, Huang Qiong sighed slightly in his heart, and there was not much time left for him to find out about this matter. Now I hope Gao Huaiyuan and the others can find out some valuable things. But it's not that there is no other way. When I return to Chang'an this time, in the name of worshiping my ancestors, I can take one or two people with me to free up some time.
After making up her mind, Huang Qiong saw that the night was getting dark, but she didn't stay too long in the study. After returning to the bedroom, Huang Qiong was shocked to find that three of the five women who came with Bo Ji and Zheng Gang did not leave. Instead, he was talking to Dong Qianhong and Li's two daughters. Seeing Huang Qiong come in, the three women hurriedly knelt on the ground and kowtowed in greeting.
He raised his hand to signal the two of them to stand up. Huang Qiong, who thought that the three women were the wives and concubines of Bo Ji and Zheng Gang, and thought that he had misjudged the two of them again, looked at the three women and frowned tightly: "You three, why don't you go with your husbands?" Go back? The night is already so dark, it is not convenient for you to stay in the camp, so I will arrange for someone to take you back."
After Huang Qiong's words fell, she knew that the King of England had some misunderstandings about the three women. One of them, the most beautiful and charming lady, quickly said: "If I go back to His Majesty, the three little ladies are not the two adults." We are not their wives, nor their families. We are just voluntarily here to serve His Majesty the King of England. We also ask the King of England not to wrongly blame these two adults."
I heard that the whole body of these three people revealed a kind of mature beauty. The identity of the woman is unknown at the moment. The most beautiful one among them is also the one who just replied. Not only is her beauty outstanding, but her figure is almost as plump as Duan Jin's. Although the other two are slightly inferior in appearance and figure. But what's even more attractive is that they are twins.
Both the appearance and body are almost identical. Not to mention the three women, who were not as beautiful as they were beautiful, but were extremely attractive. They were Huang Qiong's type. Even if it wasn't, Huang Qiong, who was not fully enjoying himself, felt even more excited. But he didn't expect that these three beautiful women would actually come to serve him. Huang Qiong frowned even more.
Voluntarily, God knows how they acted voluntarily? He just wanted to get angry, but he was afraid of scaring these three women, so he could only suppress the anger in his heart. Unexpectedly, Bo Ji and Zheng Gang, who seemed to have fairly good official status, were also such people. I just don’t know that these three women are the brothel madams. Or the wife of that family was forced by them to come and serve them.
Huang Qiong, who barely suppressed his anger and anger, said directly to the three women: "You guys go back, there are two people serving me. I am not the kind who can't walk when he sees a woman." There is no need to find a few random women with unknown identities to serve you. You go, I will arrange for someone to take you back. Don’t worry, no one will dare to embarrass you."
Hearing Huang Qiong's cold tone, the woman who had replied hurriedly knelt down on the ground: "Your Majesty, these young ladies are all girls from good families, not brothel girls. These young ladies have come to serve you. King, no one forced us to come. It was only the few of us who begged Lord Bo, and Mrs. Bo who helped to plead for mercy, that he reluctantly agreed to take us to see the King of England."
"But we are also asked not to cry in front of the King of England, otherwise he will not bring us to meet the King of England. In fact, how many young ladies dare to do this in front of the King of England? But as long as the King of England is a young wife We want to take revenge, let alone a body and face that brings disaster to our family. We are willing to do anything. King of England, if we hadn’t still wanted to avenge our family, we would not have wanted to live long ago.”
Huang Qiong frowned slightly when he heard the woman's words. Looking at these three women, although they cannot be said to be disaster-level, they are particularly attractive to men. Especially the woman who replied, even when she saw it, she felt itchy. I always want to hold her in my arms and have a good intimacy. With these three women looking like this, it is not necessarily a lie that beauty is a disaster.
Especially in Yan'an Mansion, there is such a bastard. To be honest, regardless of whether he had taken some ulterior blame for the robbery of food relief, or whether there was any quarrel between him and the prefect. But Huang Qiong knew that based on the temperament and character of his relatives, they were all bastards. And this Duke Fushi is definitely not a special case.
Northern Shaanxi has been a place where both Hu and Han people lived together since the two weeks and the Qin and Han Dynasties. Various ethnic groups have lived together and intermarried with each other for many years. The handsome men and beauties here have a unique style and are famous throughout the entire north of the Yellow River. Mizhi's mother-in-law, Suide's Han, not to mention Shaanxi Road, are also famous in the Qi Dynasty. My distant cousin has never been an honest person.
Not that Huang Qiong was the first to suspect Duke Fushi when this happened. But he has a very clear view of the nature of his relatives. Those who are greedy for money and lustful, that is, those who are greedy for money and lustful. Those clans would do anything dirty for money and beautiful women. Apart from him, almost no one could do this because of three beautiful women.
But Huang Qiong didn't expect that when the woman revealed her true identity that caused their family to be destroyed, Huang Qiong was not only surprised, but also a little shocked. This person was none other than Shaanxi Jiedushi Liu Jie, who was stationed in Yan'an Prefecture some time ago and the military governor blocked the border between Yan'an Prefecture and Ningxia Prefecture to prevent the rebels from flowing into Ningxia Prefecture. The initiator of everything was Liu Jiedu.
Among the three women, the most beautiful one is called Gu, and she is the wife of the Baoan County Lieutenant under Yan'an Prefecture. Liu Jiedu accidentally saw this woman during his inspection, and he couldn't forget her, and the thought of snatching her away arose in his heart. It's just that the county captain is quite ambitious. He was a small eighth-rank man, even a low-ranking county captain, and he would rather die than sacrifice his wife for glory.
In order to get Gu, Liu Jiedu coerced and lured Gu's husband. But whether it was to buy him with a lot of money or to get promoted and make a fortune, he was rejected by the county captain. The county lieutenant was very courageous. Faced with the promise of a second-grade official, he refused to bring his wife down to court. Having angered the envoy Liu Jiedu, he charged the county lieutenant with collaborating with the enemy and killed him directly.
After killing someone, he used her three children and parents-in-law to continue to threaten her into submission. I just didn't expect that this woman was as stubborn as her husband. No matter how much the envoy Liu Jiedushi tried to intimidate, he just refused to nod. After Liu Jiedushi's patience was exhausted, he tried to force himself but was caught in the face by her. Liu Jiedu was completely angered and imprisoned the whole family on charges of collaborating with bandits.
In order to force him to submit, he even used severe torture on two old people in their sixties. How can elderly parents withstand such hardship? Within two days, they all died in the prison of Yan'an Mansion. The three young children could not withstand the torture of hunger and cold, and none of them escaped from the prison alive. There were once a family of seven, but she was the only one who was still holding on, bent on revenge.
Bo Ji, who was still arranging food and fodder for Liu Jie's army, heard about this and felt pity for her family of seven, and she was the only one who was tortured. And because his wife is somewhat related to her husband's family. After Liu Jie took in his new love and lost interest in her, he sent someone to bribe the prison boss privately and found an excuse to take her out of the prison. After she was taken out, he kept her hidden at home.
As for the death of the other two women, it was not the fault of Duke Fushi. It was the Yan'an prefect who fell in love with several paintings from the elder sister's family of the two women, which were said to be authentic paintings by Wu Daozi in the former Tang Dynasty. I want to buy a painting worth tens of thousands of dollars at a price that is unimaginable for ordinary people, at ten guan each. The elder sister of the two women's husband's family is also from a wealthy family in Yan'an Prefecture.
Although he is not rich, he has always passed down his poems and books to his family. Faced with all kinds of coercion from the prefect, the scholar became angry and refused to give in. As a result, after the Ningxia Prefecture party members launched a rebellion, they directly charged the family with being a bandit and threw them into prison and tortured them to death. The whole house was searched, and not even a single piece of paper was left.
