This is what the so-called aristocratic family and family are like, one is prosperous and the other is devastated.
The Li family tree has deep roots and lush branches and leaves. The thickest trunk is the left servant of the Ministry of official affairs, Li Lin's father.
Although Li Lin is white, he represents the Li family and the left minister of the Ministry of Personnel.
It is precisely because of this that Ma Rui, the governor of Jingzhao Mansion, did not dare to neglect and came to the government office in person.
Li Linneng represented the Li family in Beijing and dealt with dignitaries like a "social butterfly". Naturally, he was not an unreasonable person. He hurriedly stepped forward to greet him, bowed and saluted and called "sir," with all the due etiquette.
Even when he saw Tao Shaozhang, who had a gloomy face, Li Lin still bowed and saluted, calling "sir" when he should, but he couldn't tell that he wanted to cut Tao Shaozhang into pieces.
After chatting for a moment, Ma Rui's eyes glanced at Li Lin and Tao Shaozhang for a moment.
Although he is the number one scapegoat in the Dachang Dynasty, it does not mean that Ma Rui is a fool.
Tao Shaozhang investigated the Li family and made a fuss. How could he not know that the two of them were like fire and water?
According to Tao Shaozhang, it was not Chen Yan who committed the murder, but the one who was framed, the Li family, and Li Xunnan, a side branch of the Li family, was a participant.
Now Li Lin comes to Jingzhao Mansion, naturally because of this matter.
"Mr. Li." Ma Rui felt as if he was on a mirror, but he knew it and asked: "I heard from those who know that Mr. Li wants to report to the official?"
"That's right." Li Lin turned back and pointed at Chu Qing at the door of the Yamen Office: "The students suspect that this person is related to yesterday's murder case in Bei City."
Tao Shaozhang sneered and said: "What a joke, your relative Li Xunnan has been imprisoned in the Jingzhao Mansion Prison. It is clearly your Li family who framed the whole family, yet you still dare to spray blood on others."
Li Lin ignored Tao Shaozhang at all, just looked at Ma Rui and said: "Li Xunnan is indeed a relative of my Li family, but he is a distant relative. Even if he violates the laws of Chang, it has nothing to do with other Li family members."
I have to say that Li Lin was indeed very treacherous. He didn't know exactly what happened, but he was prepared for the worst. If Li Xunnan spoke, he could just say he didn't know anything.
"But the student did come here because of this incident. I dare to ask Mr. Ma, what did Li Xunnan commit?"
Without Ma Rui saying a word, Tao Shaozhang said: "I was sneaking around in Bei City. I was encountered by my officer. I followed him secretly to a private residence and killed an idle man named Shouhou to silence him. Li Lin, don't you keep me here?" You know how to pretend to be confused, do you really think that I can’t find out what your Li family did?”
Li Lin still looked at Ma Rui: "Sir, has Li Xunnan admitted it?"
"Not really. Li Xunnan said he was slandered because he saw Tao Shaoqing and the others going to the house of the thin monkey. After they went there, the thin monkey was killed by Tao Shaoqing and the others."
Li Lin smiled slightly: "That means... everyone has his own opinion?"
Ma Rui said nothing, and Tao Shaozhang hummed: "I am the young minister of Dali Temple. How can I give false testimony? Not to mention that Chu Qing, the son of the left minister of the Ministry of Industry, also saw it with my own eyes."
"The son of the minister and the young minister of Dali Temple..." Li Lin shook his head: "Of course, he will not slander others for no reason, but if...if this life lawsuit involves you two, it would be difficult to say."
"Li Lin!" Tao Shaozhang said with an angry face: "How dare you spurt someone with blood."
I have to say that both of these things are half a dozen.
Li Lin framed Chen Yan, but Tao Shaozhang also perjured himself to confuse right and wrong.
Ma Rui smiled bitterly.
It involves the Li family and the young minister of Dali Temple. He really can't control this kind of thing.
But in fact, if the procedures are followed, it is really the Jingzhao Mansion's responsibility.
In fact, Ma Rui roughly understood what was going on.
From a personal perspective, he believed in Tao Shaozhang.
After all, Tao Shaozhang's reputation is there. This kid is very stubborn and a fool. The Li family has always been ruthless in doing things, and they will do whatever it takes when it comes to the family's fundamental interests.
But this is his personal opinion, but just because he believes in Tao Shaozhang, he cannot show his partiality.
"Sir, the student also knows that you are in trouble. If Master Tao has evidence, the student will arrest him without hesitation. However, the son of the left minister of the Ministry of Industry went to Jufuzhai yesterday and beat someone up. Some people even saw Chen Yan there."
Looking at Tao Shaozhang, Li Lin was still smiling: "Master Tao can't deny this matter."
Tao Shaozhang's expression was gloomy and uncertain. It was indeed true, and he didn't know how to refute it for a moment.
"Master Ma, the son of Zuo Shilang, even if he didn't kill anyone, he beat someone yesterday. He also had a good personal relationship with Chen Yan. The suspicion is very high. Shouldn't he be thrown into prison?"
Tao Shaozhang shouted indiscriminately: "That's nonsense. It's true that he hit someone, but he didn't harm anyone!"
Pig teammates +1.
Li Lin laughed: "Hitting someone is also a violation of Chang's law. He should be sent to Jingzhao Mansion Prison. The victim is dead and the suspicion is high."
"Li Lin, you have the ability to attack me!" Tao Shaozhang's eyes were blood red: "You are a man with evil thoughts who is trying to kill my friend. I, Tao Shaozhang, am at odds with you!"
"Master Tao, you said that Li Xunnan killed someone, and Li Xunnan also said that you killed someone. If you don't talk about it, Master Ma will find out the truth. But the son of the left minister of the Ministry of Industry beat someone, and countless people in the North City saw it. Come on, you can't turn a blind eye to this, maybe you, the young minister of Dali Temple, want to protect him."
"you…"
Seeing the two arguing, Ma Rui sighed.
If he had a choice, he really didn't want to get involved in the fight between the Tao family and the Li family.
The former is a member of an aristocratic family with countless relatives, and the person at the helm is Zuo Shilang, the Heavenly Official of the Ministry of Civil Affairs.
The Tao family is not bad either. Although it is a rising star, it has an unparalleled reputation among the scholars in Changjing. Tao Yao is the prince's junior master.
It was easy to offend both sides, and he couldn't afford to offend either, but there was one person he could afford to offend, Chu Qing.
It's okay to keep making noises here. Ma Rui turned to look at Tao Shaozhang: "Tao Shaoqing hurt someone in Beijing, and he went to Jufuzhai with Chen Yan yesterday. Logically speaking, Chu Wensheng's son, I, must be taken into custody. of."
"Master Ma, this..."
"Official duties are in hand, Tao Shaoqing should not embarrass me."
The person who is capable of serving as the governor of Jingzhao Mansion is just an idiot. He has learned to be smart by taking the blame every day.
He didn't want to offend the Li family, and of course, the Tao family didn't want to offend either.
But if he had to offend a family, he would choose the Tao family.
Because the Tao family is more reasonable, they are just a group of scholars, not as "ruthless" as the Li family.
Before Tao Shaozhang could speak again, Ma Rui turned around and the guards on both sides ran over.
Pointing to Chu Qing who was expressionless with his hands behind his back at the door, Ma Rui said: "Go, take the person to prison and write a confession before we speak."
Fortunately, Ma Rui left some room. Although he was sent to prison, he did not say that he would be kept there forever. He would probably be released after recording a "confession". After all, Chu Qing was also the son of the minister of the Ministry of Industry and an official of the Ministry of Household Affairs.
Ma Rui was just doing Tai Chi, and was going to send someone to the Ministry of Justice to see if the Ministry of Justice could take over. After all, officials from the Sixth Ministry were involved, and he, Jingzhao Mansion, couldn't figure it out.
Tao Shaozhang also knew that talking was useless, so he hurried to Chu Qing without saying goodbye.
"Master Chu, don't worry. I will go to the Chu Mansion to report to Mr. Chu. I will release you in half a day at most."
"Damn it!" Chu Qing, who wasn't too worried at first, scolded: "You're trying to get a fucking use out of my dad. Is he easy to use?"
Tao Shaozhang didn't react for a moment: "Whose father are you looking for?"
"your dad!"
"Yes, yes." Tao Shaozhang was also confused and slapped his forehead: "I will go back home and ask dad to bail you out."
"You should make it clear to Lao Tao. I don't speak strictly. If he doesn't care about this, I might sell it to you."
Tao Shaozhang: "..."
Chu Qing turned back to look at Fu San: "He's looking for his father. You go to my father. You first go to the Ministry of Household Affairs to find Qiu Wanshan and Mr. Wei. Tell them about the situation. Then go back to the house and talk to my father about avoiding the important and taking the easy way out." For a moment, just say it was a misunderstanding and tell him not to worry, the Tao family will sort it out for me."
"I understand, little one."
Li Lin looked at Chu Qing from a distance and sneered.
Tao Shaozhang used Li Xunnan as a breakthrough point, and Li Lin wanted to use Chu Qing as a breakthrough point. You must know that the Li family has installed more than one Li Xunnan in Jingzhao Mansion.
In addition to Li Lin, Ma Rui was also looking at Chu Qing, smiling bitterly.
Mr. Chu, the Tao and Li families are both great Buddhas. I can't afford to offend you, so I can only wrong you.
As everyone knows, Chu Qing is really good at "conquering" people. From the prince's young master to the sixth-rank official, he can defeat anyone he says. Ma Rui, the Yin of Jingzhao Prefecture, also has to memorize words today.
