Yu Lian was really about to cry.
Isn't it okay for you two to compare? Can you be a little more considerate of the feelings of the "party involved"?
Chu Qing was also dumbfounded.
Qianqiying specializes in this, spying on the courtiers. It's not surprising that Chen Yan Yu Lian's scandal was exposed. What's strange is how does Tao Ruolin know so much and has the capital to "compare" with Qianqiying?
Yu Lian was really frightened. What Chen Yan and Tao Ruolin said was on the one hand, but mainly because of their appearance. Who knows how much they knew.
Chu Qing was curious and looked at Chen Yan: "Qianqiying has so much evidence of crimes, why not arrest him?"
"It's not a big deal."
Chen's statement is also made without meaning. It is not that the three views are incorrect, but that there are many objective factors.
Let's not talk about what Tao Ruolin found out, just talk about the bad things that Qianqiying knew, such as maiming people, intimidating others, taking other people's concubines, etc. It's really not a big deal.
Let’s talk about the matter of beating people to disability first. The host is also a scholar and his family is an official. Although his leg was broken, the father of the host was scared when he heard that it was a young minister who did it. Yu Lian paid the penalty. It was a lot of money, and he might have promised something in private, but the sufferer kept silent. Jingzhao Mansion was even less likely to meddle in other people's affairs, and the same was true for Qianqiying.
The second is to intimidate others, and the situation is similar. The Yu family is not short of money, and it is true that they almost killed someone, but they paid a lot of hush money. The woman's husband's family is also a loser. When they saw so much money, they wanted to give it. His mother-in-law sold it.
Finally, he said that he had taken someone else's concubine. The husband who committed suicide was not clean, and the two concubines were not serious girls. It was a matter of your own free will.
If these things get out, it will definitely be bad for the reputation of officials with integrity. If the commotion becomes louder, not to mention being stripped of his official robe, the young minister will definitely stop moving forward.
Chen Yan is also unhappy. The problem is that he has seen too many unhappy things. There are so many officials in Beijing, and there are countless officials who are worse than Yu Lian, but they still cannot be directly defeated by the officials with great fanfare. There are too many problems involved. .
It's just like the Li family, who knew they were greedy for a lot of money and had done countless evil things in private, but they had to be careful and step-by-step.
To put it simply and straightforwardly, it is because of Huang Laosi. When Huang Laosi first ascended to Dabao, the imperial power was not so stable at all. If it were changed to three or four years later, and the imperial power was highly centralized and unified, if Lao Si saw who was not It's just a matter of words, Qianqiying will do it right away.
Of course, as for what Tao Ruolin said about using his position to exchange official salary, Qianqiying will definitely investigate. If irrefutable evidence is found, Yu Lian will definitely be finished. The crime will not lead to death, but he will definitely not be able to serve as an official.
Chu Qing looked at the earth-colored Yu Lian and smiled, knowing that things were finally back on track.
Originally, he was thinking of using Qianqiying's sign to scare the other party, and then talk about business, but he didn't expect that the other party would not accept this trick. Fortunately, Chen Yan and Tao Ruolin were beside him, and the two of them "compared", and the effect was outstanding and direct. Yu Lian was so frightened that he knelt down.
Again, for such a bastard, Qianqiying kept silent, so naturally they had their concerns, and Chen Yan couldn't get rid of the trouble in his eyes, it's just that the time has not come yet.
"Elbow, enter the mansion." Chu Qing waved his hand and led a large group of people into the Yu mansion like a master.
Yu Lian, who was kneeling on the ground, neither stood up nor continued to kneel. He gritted his teeth and had no choice but to stand up and follow in.
Chu Qing walked straight to the main hall like a crab. He glanced at it on the way and found that Yu Lian was indeed a rich man with a lot of money, and he was no less generous than Qu Mansion.
After entering the main hall, Chu Qing sat directly on the main seat with his legs crossed, looking like he was in control.
As for Changxian, he talked less after meeting the refugees. He did not sit down after coming in, but stood behind Chu Qing. Tao Ruolin and Chen Yan were mumbling outside the door, and they didn’t know if it had started. Second round of comparison.
As soon as Yu Lian entered the main hall, he knelt down again.
Again, it wasn't what Tao Ruolin and Chen Yan said that frightened him, it was mainly because these two things were like a competition to shake off his trivial matters. With that expression, that tone, that appearance, he would have been given to him long ago. Eight generations of ancestors have found out everything.
No one is scaring him now, but he is scaring himself. The more he recalls some of the shameful things he did in the past, the more scared he becomes.
However, Yu Lian had been in official circles for a long time. When he saw that he was not taken directly from the door, he knew that there was still room for improvement, so he knelt there honestly.
"This is not the case with the Prime Minister of this Department, nor is it with this teacher... Nor is this, with this..."
Fukuzo reminded: "I am Kyōchō."
"What the hell are you, Commander-in-chief?" Chu Qingren knocked on the table like a dog: "Do you know why I, the Commander-in-Chief, came to you today?"
Yu Lian wiped the cold sweat from his forehead: "No, I don't know."
"You still don't know what happened. I'll call them in and talk to you."
"No, no, no, no, no." Yu Lian was so frightened that he waved his hands repeatedly: "I know I'm wrong, I know I'm wrong."
"You said you're not a bitch? I told you when I was at the door just now. If you don't believe me, you have to test my bottom line. What is it if you are not a bitch?"
Chu Qing picked up the tea cup and was about to drink it before he realized: "I am such a big deputy commander, and you don't even ask for tea."
"Yes, serve tea, serve tea." Yu Lian quickly turned around and shouted: "Where are all the people who came, why don't you serve tea quickly? Serve the best tea. Hurry."
"That's true." Chu Qing put down the tea cup and hugged his arms and said, "A few days ago, I heard from the housekeeper at home that you posted a message to me. This must be the case, and he asked me to come over and repair the house."
"No, no, no, it's a misunderstanding. It's a misunderstanding."
At the mention of this matter, Yu Lianhui's intestines turned green. Originally, Xunsi was the son of the left minister of the Ministry of Industry. He was nothing. Asking you to come over and build a house for me was just a compliment. Who would have thought? This kid He turned out to be the deputy commander of the Thousand Cavalry Battalion!
With a "pop" sound, Chu Qing slapped the table: "I'm already here, Commander-in-Chief, and you actually told me it was a misunderstanding?"
"The lower official doesn't know how to promote. The lower official is blinded by eating lard. How can the lower official dare to trouble Commander Chu? The lower official is blind. Mr. Chu must not be like the lower official..."
There was another "pop", and the tea cup was smashed in front of Yu Lian. Chu Qing suddenly stood up with anger on his face: "Are you kidding me?"
"I don't dare, I don't dare! I don't dare!"
Chu Qing's face was filled with a ferocious smile: "My surname is Yu, I will leave my words here today. You, the Yu Mansion, must cultivate whether you want to cultivate or not!"
Yu Lian raised his head and looked at Chu Qing, who was full of anger. His mind was a little lost, and he asked tentatively: "Commander Chu really...really wants to repair the house?"
"Nonsense, otherwise why would I come to you?"
"This..." Yu Lian was puzzled: "Xiaoguan is so bold, deputy commander, why do you want to help Xiaguan repair his house?"
"Pay attention to your wording. It's not a favor, it's a paid service. You have to give me money, you understand."
Astonishment flashed across Yu Lian's face, and then he suddenly realized it and nodded repeatedly: "I understand, I finally understand."
It was really clear that he thought Chu Qing was here to extort money.
Chu Qing pretended to look around: "Then it's settled, I'll quote you a price. For your house, it will cost you... one thousand, uh, two thousand..."
Chu Qing gritted his teeth and asked tentatively: "Three...three thousand strings, uh, okay? If you think it's high, we can discuss it again..."
"Three thousand strings?!" Yu Lian took a breath: "So few?"
Chu Qing: "..."
