Zhou Dashui said that he was helpless when Liu Jincheng was arrested.
This case is an important case handled by the prefect alone, and he, a petty official, cannot get involved. All he could do was to tell his colleagues in the execution room to take care of him and not to embarrass him inside.
Since it is an important case, it is usually subject to strict review. Although there is no public trial yet, anyone with a discerning eye can see it and will never dismiss it hastily.
Uncle Zhou frowned and said, "It's best to think of a way to fish the person out first."
Qi Yu looked up to the sky and sighed: "It's so difficult!"
The nephew and uncle discussed for a while, but they were still at a loss and could only sigh.
…
The current situation was not stable yet, so Uncle Zhou still had a lot of official business to do, so he left in a hurry after explaining everything clearly.
The brother-in-law naturally tried to save him, but how?
As for Yin Jun, forget it...
However, although I am disgusted with him, I also know that he is not the kind of evil person, and most likely he is innocent.
Forget it, there is no need to gloat about his misfortune. Only by suppressing him with your own ability will you have a real sense of accomplishment.
Liu Quan was already at a loss. Although she was smart, she could only deal with small things. When encountering such big things, she felt at a loss.
"Ms. sir, please think of a way to save Jincheng. Once he is deemed a traitor, he may be beheaded! As for Yin Jun, if you can save him, you can save him by the way. It will be considered as repayment to him. A favor from the Yin family in the past," Liu Quan said.
Qi Yu was startled. When did he owe the Yin family a favor? However, seeing that the lady did not elaborate, I was too embarrassed to ask again. At this juncture, it is not the time to be jealous.
"Don't worry, don't get pregnant! Let me think carefully first."
"Um……"
Calm down first!
Meng Lanshan taught himself to use his brain more and think twice before acting when encountering problems.
You know, panic is the easiest way to cloud your mind.
After a long time, Qi Yu's eyes became clear: "In this way, find someone to send a message to my father-in-law and mother-in-law, saying that there is a second uncle at the Yamen, so Jincheng will not be embarrassed. Well... I want to go out. ."
"Okay!" Liu Quan nodded, and then asked, "Where are you going?"
"Master Yu and I once had a relationship. I want to beg him to see if he can be lenient. If not, I will go to Fucheng to find Mr. Meng and see if he can do anything."
With the current personal connections, that's all.
"This matter cannot be delayed. I must set off immediately. I have to find ways to move around before the case is finalized. Once the case is finalized, there will be no hope." Qi Yu added.
Mrs. Zhou had been listening silently, and when she heard the word "activity" she was moved: "Doesn't this cost money?"
Qi Yu stepped forward, leaned on his mother's lap, and said, "Mom, although money is good, it is only a thing from outside the body. We can earn more after spending it, but we cannot delay saving people."
Mrs. Zhou gave a heartfelt sigh of regret and said solemnly to Liu Quan: "You have to tell your in-laws that this money was lent by our Qi family to their Liu family. Don't think it is a free gift. You will have to pay it back in the future!"
Liu Quan nodded, said a few nice words, and then took out the silver.
"I am leaving!"
"Well, be careful on the road..."
As soon as Fang left home, Zhou and Liu Quan showed a penetrating gaze, with some worry.
A temporary farewell is also a farewell, which makes people sad.
…
On the way, Qi Yu had a first-hand experience of what true desolation is. After the locusts passed by, everything was desolate, and everything in his field of vision was bare loess, without any greenery.
In the evening, we arrived at the county government office. People were heavily armed outside the government office, and the atmosphere seemed very tense.
Do regular operations first!
Qi Yu called the yamen guarding the gate over, and then spent a little money, and the yamen went in to report the situation actively.
Master Yu really remembered the past relationship and squeezed out time to meet him.
Be polite first, and then give up your seat.
After the left and right parties retreated, Qi Yu did not mince words and directly explained his purpose of coming. Then he took out the silver and said, "I hope you will be more generous and keep an open mind regarding my wife's brother."
Master Yu looked at him, but did not answer directly, nor did he go to take the money. Instead, he asked, "I heard that you are Mr. Wenzhu's disciple. Is this true?"
What a well-informed message!
Qi Yu could only say in a general and vague way: "Back to your lord, Wan Sheng was indeed lucky enough to receive guidance from Mr. Wenzhu, and he also gave me a calligraphy."
Given the word "gift", the relationship is self-evident!
Yu Hai nodded suddenly, and then said warmly: "Haha, since you are Mr. Wenzhu's student, you can also be considered one of our own, so I will tell you something clearly. This case is supervised by Mr. Zhao. It's done. Without his oral instructions, how could I dare to let people go for personal gain? This is not a matter of money or lack of money, you'd better put it away!"
He sighed softly and said: "Actually, I also know that your brother-in-law is not a true believer of the Emperor Worship Cult, but I don't care! It's up to Mr. Zhao to say it! To say the least, under my authority When incidents like this occur within my jurisdiction, I myself cannot absolve myself of the blame. Mr. Zhao must be responsible for this matter, so I will not make any private decisions."
Indeed, although local officials have no right to interfere with Taoist affairs, it is a different matter if something goes wrong, and it is always necessary to charge them with negligence.
Although Yu Hai failed to release him, he sold his favor and allowed Qi Yu to visit the prison.
Qi Yu also knew that this favor was not for his own sake.
…
With Master Yu's accommodation, the prison chief gave the green light.
Oops!
The cell was eerie, with wailing sounds everywhere, making people feel numb.
Liu Jincheng's treatment was pretty good. The cell was very spacious and only he and Yin Jun were detained.
It seemed that this was all Uncle Zhou could do.
Seeing Qi Yu coming, they were both stunned.
Liu Jincheng was already at a loss for words: "Brother-in-law, please find a way to save me. I was really wronged. I swear, I really did not participate in the rebellion."
Qi Yu said angrily: "Now you know that I am your brother-in-law?"
"I was ignorant before, but you can't ignore me!" Liu Jincheng was so excited that he almost cried.
Qi Yu immediately softened his heart and comforted him: "Don't panic, I will try my best to find a way." After that, he looked at Yin Jun again and said, "What about you? Is there a way to get out?"
Yin Jun frowned and said, "It should be...ok."
That's just right!
I don't need to worry about it. From one side, this doesn't mean I have failed my wife's request.
Then, leave directly without wasting any time.
Before leaving, Qi Yu specially called the cell leader over, generously gave him a tea fee, and repeatedly warned him not to embarrass Liu Jincheng.
The prison boss was honest and replied calmly: "Don't worry, sir, we only beat those poor people who have no money..."
sweat!
Is this an unspoken rule?
…
After leaving the county government office, Qi Yu hurriedly found a carriage and headed straight for the capital city.
Under the urging of Yin Zi, the carriage raced almost at lightning speed, with speed and passion all the way.
Ugh, choke!
Qi Dalang actually got carsick!
Finally arriving at the door of Meng's Mansion, Qi Yu endured exhaustion and knocked on the door.
The concierge was stunned: "Mr. Qi?"
Qi Yu bowed and said, "It's me. Is sir back?"
"Not yet, not back yet."
well! I rushed there at starry night, but unexpectedly I missed it!
Qi Yu sighed deeply, and his heart suddenly became deflated.
"Is there something wrong, Master?"
"have!"
"Oh, sir, before he left, he told me that if the young master comes to visit, he must be treated with courtesy. If you have anything to ask for, you can ask Butler He to try to deal with it." The concierge reminded.
Looking for He Shun? Does it work?
Let’s play a round if you have dates or not!
"Then I'm sorry to bother you."
…
It is not difficult to see that Meng Lanshan is indeed kind to him, otherwise, he would not leave such words.
In addition to being grateful, be grateful.
After Shao Qing, He Shun came out and said, "I don't know if Mr. Qi has arrived. I'm not far away to welcome him. Please come inside and have tea."
"The unexpected visit is disturbing!"
After sitting down, Qi Yu directly explained his intention without any courtesy.
What a difficult thing!
Unexpectedly, He Shun was not confused as expected, but was very calm and even started to think while stroking his beard.
The butler of a wealthy family is indeed different. In this temperament, he is almost comparable to Lord Yu.
"It's not difficult to save your brother-in-law. We have to do it as soon as possible." He Shun first concluded and then explained: "This case is very big. It is estimated that not only the Ministry of Punishment, but also people from Dali Temple may be involved. Come in, but their people are still here. If you want to save people, you have to take advantage of this opportunity to deal with it quickly, and recovery will be difficult."
ah! This shot really hit the date.
Unexpectedly, He Shun, as a housekeeper, would have such knowledge.
He Shun smiled and said: "You have a close relationship with my master, so I will help you on his behalf this time, but you must remember that this matter must not be mentioned to anyone."
Suddenly, something came to Qi Yu's mind, that is, Meng Lanshan's son is currently the chief of Dali Temple, and the prosecutor's father wants someone in private. How can he not give him this face?
Thinking of this, he understood the meaning, but he still took out the silver.
This kind of thing must be taken care of. The king of hell is easy to talk about, but the little devil is difficult to deal with. If you are afraid that someone will talk nonsense, the best way is to cover their mouths with money.
Only in this way will they selectively forget.
"Fifty taels is enough." He Shun didn't refuse, but he didn't take more.
"Then I'll take care of the housekeeper!" Qi Yu bowed and thanked him.
"Young master, there is no need to be polite. You can take a rest in the mansion and wait for news from me."
"good!"
…
Qi Yu finally relaxed. Although this matter has not been settled yet, he already felt at ease in his heart.
After a long journey, I was really tired and fell asleep without realizing it.
When he woke up, he found that He Shun had just returned, and in his hand was a letter written by Governor Zhao, or a letter of amnesty!
"Take this letter to Master Yu Haiyu. He will release me immediately after seeing this letter."
"Thank you for your kindness! I will rush there immediately and say goodbye!"
"Young master, you're welcome!"
…
After leaving the Meng Mansion, Qi Yu found a carriage and drove there at starry night.
