Yu Yi's words directly frightened Wang Dachao, especially the sentence that affected his family. He had long heard of the behavior of Chang Sheng and others, and was often implicated. Since Yu Yi can say it, he can definitely do it.
Wang Dachao didn't expect that Yu Yi knew his past and past affairs very well, and told him the true motive of his attack in one sentence. Now that he has become a tiger, there are only two ways in front of him, one is to be stubborn In the end, save face, and secondly, kneel down and beg for mercy to save your family.
Since Wang Dachao came here for Changsheng this time, it was inconvenient for Changsheng to come forward in person. Yu Yi's response made Changsheng extremely satisfied. He wanted to see what Wang Dachao's reaction would be next, so he was not in a hurry to express his position.
Yu Yi continued, "You are a small state official, with no more than a fourth-rank official, but you dare to disobey the rebels and slander the prince. What do you want to do? Claim yourself to be a loyal minister? Claim yourself to be upright? You have made a good plan. , but the prince is not the Marquis of Huaiyin who is seeking fame and reputation, and he was humiliated and still made his enemy an official. Even if the prince does not know the same as you, we will also know the same as you."
When Yu Yi said this, he stepped forward, casually took off Wang Dachao's black gauze hat and came to the door. The people outside the door were not willing to come, but because of Wang Dachao's power, they bravely followed. Seeing that Wang Dachao's treacherous plan was discovered by Yu Yi , was taken off his black gauze hat on the spot, and was instantly frightened to the point where they all fell to their knees and remained silent.
Yu Yi threw Wang Dachao's black gauze hat to the crowd and said coldly, "The criminal Wang Dachao colluded with his cronies, slandered the prince, took bribes and perverted the law. The evidence of the crime is conclusive. Where are the officials?"
"I'm here," Governor Shen responded in a trembling voice.
Yu Yi has been working as an errand in Dali Temple for many years and has dealt with similar matters many times. He is familiar with the road and has long fingers. "Get up and come in to see what we have eaten."
The governor is the official position, and the chief official is the deputy position. The first and second leaders in the government office are usually at odds with each other. After hearing Yu Yi's words, the chief official stood up hurriedly and entered the lobby tremblingly. He knew what Yu Yi was thinking. What are you listening to? After nervously looking at the food on the table, he calmed down and shouted loudly, "The prince and the four generals ate water spinach and mushroom soup, which cost only ten cents."
In fact, what Chang Sheng and others ate was stewed bones with cabbage and chicken stewed with mushrooms, but the chief official deliberately avoided the important and favored the light, aiming to flatter and curry favor.
Naturally, his small thoughts could not be hidden from Yu Yi, who glanced at him and said, "Take Wang Dachao back and keep him under strict supervision. All his family members from the three clans will be imprisoned. You will write an official document about today's events and report it to the court truthfully. Please let the court decide."
As soon as I said this, the chief official immediately shouted an order, "Come here, drag the guilty minister Wang Dachao out!"
Seeing that all his family members from the three clans were going to jail, Wang Dachao completely collapsed and fell to his knees with a plop, kowtowing like garlic, "Your Majesty, spare my life, Your Majesty, please spare my life, I know I was wrong."
Before Changsheng and Yu could speak, the official scolded him, "It's too late. We waited for the Shenzhou officials to tolerate you for a long time. Fortunately, the brave prince and the four generals brought order to the chaos and eliminated harm for the people. Drag them away, drag them away."
People do pee when they are extremely frightened. After Wang Dachao was dragged away, there was a pool of burnt yellow urine stains on the ground.
After Wang Dachao was dragged out, the chief official came forward with a shy face, wanting to talk to Changsheng to get close to him, but before he could come forward, Yu Yi waved his hand away, "We still have to eat, so please step aside."
Although the chief official was embarrassed, he did not dare to disobey the order and stay. He could only salute repeatedly and exit the door.
When he came, he showed off his power, but when he left, he was disgraced. The worst thing was that Wang Dachao was a fourth-grade state official one moment, and became a prisoner the next moment.
After the officers and soldiers retreated, he sat down again. Datou was still angry and said, "What do the officials do for a living? How can a guy like this be an official? He has a pig's brains."
"It's not that he's not smart enough, he's just too smart," Yu Yi said. "He knows that we are all good people, and he thinks that we will respect our status and not be as knowledgeable as him, so he is arrogant and unscrupulous."
"Damn it, what's the point? Good people should suffer?" Big Head cursed angrily, "This bastard doesn't know how to live or die. Look at his face just now. He's full of bad intentions but he acts upright. It seems like we are all the same. A traitorous minister is as good as a loyal minister."
Seeing Chang Sheng's face looking ugly, Yu Yi said apologetically, "Your Majesty, this person is a comrade of Qian Zhonglin. Today, he is making trouble with Qian..."
Before Yu Yi could finish speaking, Changsheng waved his hand and interrupted her, "What you just said is right. He offended me today just for fame and reputation, using offense instead of defense. It has nothing to do with Qian Zhonglin, and he didn't do it for Qian Zhonglin came forward."
Yu Yi knew that Chang Sheng was comforting her, but she still felt guilty in her heart. In order to avenge everyone in Shifang Temple, Chang Sheng acquiesced to her killing Qian Zhonglin. However, it was well known to everyone that Chang Sheng had a conflict with Qian Zhonglin, and Qian Zhonglin was assassinated. This blame was put directly on Chang Sheng's head. Because of Chang Sheng's vigorous and decisive killing, the government and the public criticized him a lot. The incident of Qian Zhonglin made his already bad reputation even worse, and this was exactly what she The main reason for rushing to stand up for Changsheng before.
Seeing the shame on Yu Yi's face, Yang Kai said from the side, "Since ancient times, civil servants have looked down upon each other. These civil servants are just like the jealous women who always don't like others. Three years after the prince entered the official position, he was granted the title of Marquis and Prime Minister. Among all the ministers in the court, who is not jealous? Who is not envious?"
"Yang Kai is right, it's jealousy," Shi Xuanming said, "I don't know about other people. I only know that before I met the prince, I was quite proud. Shaolin stunts are extremely difficult to practice, but I am very young. I have practiced more than twenty kinds of skills, and I thought I would be unstoppable and invincible, but I never thought of confronting the prince but lost in public, which made me depressed for many days."
"Haha, what a man, you are quite magnanimous." Datou said with a smile.
"Haha, I can't do it if I'm not honest. I can't beat him in the first place." Shi Xuanming also laughed.
Hearing the words of the four people, Changsheng felt very happy. He knew that what the four people said before were to comfort him directly or indirectly. In fact, he did need the encouragement and comfort of others. After all, who could not care about his own reputation? Especially for young people, in order to reorganize the administration of the imperial court and replenish the national treasury, he ransacked homes and was implicated, which brought him a lot of infamy. Many people compared him to the cruel official Lai Junchen. As the saying goes, it is hard to live in a high place. I have long felt the tremendous pressure of being in a high position.
After such a commotion, Changsheng was in a bad mood and lost all his appetite, but Datou and others wolfed down the food, because previously the chief official only said that they were eating cabbage and mushroom soup, and the bones and chicken in the soup bowl could not be left. .
Chang Sheng forced himself to eat something. He knew that his mood should not be affected by Wang Dachao, but he still couldn't help it. Young people are young people after all, and they are easily affected by the outside world. He also knew that this was his own shortcoming. But he cannot make up for it because of his age.
After the meal, Datou stood up to pay the bill, and bought a set of pigs from the store to feed the eagles. Worried about being seen and criticized for extravagance and waste, he bought a wooden barrel together.
Everyone packed up and went south on horseback. Changsheng used to be in charge of the Ministry of Household Affairs and knew the way to Silla...
