The eldest son of the red mansion

Chapter 113
Wang Tao and Gao Hong discussed one matter properly, and all the evidence of planting crimes was fully arranged.Don't dare to waste any more time.Ready to start the next day.

In the early morning of the next day, Wang Tao was promoted to the hall in Jiedushifu, ordering that all civil and military personnel in Xuanfu town must participate.

During this period of time, Xuanfu Town was heavily guarded, fearing that the Tatars would break through Kaipingwei, and then invade all the way south to Xuanfu Town, but two or three months have passed, and the weather has turned cold.Still no Tatars went south, and when everyone was breathing a sigh of relief, the Jiedushi suddenly summoned the crowd, which made the people's hearts rise in their throats again.Could it be that something happened?Kaipingwei has been breached, and the Tatars are about to go south?
In the lobby of the Jiedu Envoy, everyone stood in two shifts, each with solemn expressions, waiting for the arrival of Jiedu Envoy Wang Tao.

Among them, Xu Hu, the magistrate of Xuanfu Town, has been muttering in his heart for the past few days, always feeling a little terrified, thinking that Jia Ke might be in trouble if he doesn't die, why is Jia Ke so hard-working?It was able to persist for three months under the attack of the Tatars.Based on this point, he still recognized Jia Ke's ability. Sometimes Xu Hu also thought, if Jia Ke hadn't killed his brother-in-law, he could still make friends with Jia Ke's ability, but it's a pity that the two sides are already in the same situation. .

Everyone was in the lobby, waiting for Wang Tao on the left, and the Jiedushi on the right, it was almost noon, and everyone was upset, but the Jiedushi was ordered, and they didn't dare to leave, so they could only continue there. wait.

Seeing that Weishi (13:15 to [-]:[-]) was about to pass, everyone was going to ask the servants in Jiedushi's mansion to ask what was going on?

Suddenly saw a group of officers and soldiers entering outside, each holding sharp knives, and surrounded the hall tightly, everyone was amazed to see this scene.

At this time, Jiedu envoy Wang Tao came in from the outside, followed by Gao Hong, the military sacrificial wine. Seeing Wang Tao coming in, all the civil and military officials hurried forward to salute, but Wang Tao ignored them.Instead, he walked towards the tiger leather chair in the middle with a tiger's face, sat in the middle and looked down.

When everyone was seen by him, they couldn't help being smart.He Tong, the commander among them, has already seen the clues at this time. I am afraid that something happened to someone, but he does not know who will be unlucky. The most likely one is Xu Hu, because he calculated that the time is almost up. At that time, Wang Tao hadn't taken any measures. When Kaipingwei cleared the siege and Jia Ke took action, it would be too late for Wang Tao to take any action.

The Jiedushi Wang Tao looked around, and then said: "I am always kind to you, and I hope that you will enforce the law impartially and do your best for the court and the emperor. But there are some of you who not only avenge private revenge, but also act recklessly. Do you know what kind of crime this is if you dare to withhold the memorial to the imperial court without permission? Now that there is a war ahead, there are people restraining them in the rear, and I am not afraid that the imperial court and me, the Jiedu envoy, will look at them."

The people below were all taken aback when they heard Wang Tao say that. They didn't expect someone to have such courage.He even dared to seize the memorial of Jiedu envoy.

Hearing the discussions below, Wang Tao couldn't help showing anger on his face, and said to the following: "Who did it, come out and admit it. I see it for the sake of being a minister in the same palace, so I will let him go to the court to plead guilty." Zhezi, you can defend yourself. Otherwise, don’t blame me for being ruthless.”

All the civil and military people in the lobby, you look at me, I look at you, but no one came out to admit it.And Xu Humo, who was standing below, trembled for no reason.

Seeing this situation, Jiedushi Wang Tao seemed to be very angry. He patted the table in front of him and said loudly: "Since no one admits it, don't blame me for being rude. Come on, let the prefect of Xuanfu Town Xu Hu take it for me."

As soon as Wang Tao finished speaking, four or five wolf-like soldiers broke into the lobby. Xu Hu hadn't reacted yet, what was going on?Someone knocked off his official hat, took off his official robe, and then tied it tightly.

The group of soldiers tied Xu Hu, pulled him to the center and pressed him to the ground.

It was only at this time that Xu Hu realized that the person Wang Tao said was the one who withheld the memorial privately was himself.Although I was sent by the emperor to monitor Jiedu envoy Wang Tao, no matter how courageous I was, I would not dare to detain Wang Tao's memorial to the emperor. There must be some misunderstanding in this.

At this time, Xu Hu could no longer care about etiquette, knelt down and shouted loudly to the top: "I am wronged, I am wronged, please be aware, my lord, no matter how brave I am, I will not dare to detain your memorial. "

The Jiedu envoy Wang Tao slapped the table and shouted at him: "At this time, you still refuse to admit your debts. You really don't repent. You and Jia Ke, Kaiping Weidai Qianhu, held a grudge against him because of personal enmity, and stopped me several times from sending reinforcements. Kaipingwei later detained my memorial to the court for instructions. What else are you afraid to do?"

After Xu Hu heard his words, his eyes were wide open, and he looked at Jiedu envoy Wang Tao. If he didn't know at this time, Wang Tao was setting him up and making him an official for so many years.

Xu Hu didn't beg for mercy at this time, but yelled angrily at Wang Tao: "Wang Tao, you framed Zhongliang. It was obvious that you were greedy for life and afraid of death, and dared not send troops, but now you pushed it on me. I must join the emperor. You have a copy, you have no evidence, no proof, and no proof, so why should I say that I am detaining your memorial."

Wang Tao looked at him with a sneer and said, "I knew for a long time that you were going to lie and refuse to admit it. I just ransacked your house just now, and not only did I find it, but also the letters you had with the former master Kaipingwei, in which you embezzled The evidence of the military salary, I also found my memorial from your house. There are also several 10 taels of silver in your house. Even if you have been an official for 100 years, you can’t save so much money. These are the evidences of your corruption and breaking the law .Gao Hong, show him something."

Gao Hong came over at this time, sent several letters, and showed him four or five memorials. Xu Hu knew it was true when he saw the letters, but he had never seen these memorials.

At this time, the whole street was full of people in the lobby, this Xu Hu was really brave, he would do anything to frame Jia Ke.Even the memorials of Jiedushi were seized.

Xu Hu didn't know at this time that this was Wang Tao, and he wanted to push all the responsibilities to him.Otherwise, Wang Tao will definitely die if he conceals the military situation for three months.

Xu Hu thought in her heart, just be patient for now.The trial of this case should be Dali Temple or the Ministry of Criminal Justice. At that time, he will retract his confession and reveal all these things, so that Wang Tao will die without a place to bury him.

So when he saw these letters and memorials, he was silent.He didn't say a word, thinking that Wang Tao must never get a confession.

Seeing that Xu Hu was silent, Wang Tao glanced at Gao Hong next to him.

Gao Hong immediately understood what Wang Tao meant, and said loudly to Xu Hu, "How is it? You have nothing to say, right? What you have done should be cut to death because of your selfishness. Zhao How many brothers in Kaiping died under the sword of the Tatars."

Xu Hu stared at Gao Hong with red eyes and said: "Justice is in the hearts of the people. You have fabricated evidence to frame me. Do you really think that the princes in the court are all fools? Then I will see how you end up."

Gao Hong didn't argue with him, but turned around, cupped his hands and said to Wang Tao: "A shameless person like your lord, even with solid evidence, still refuses to repent, speaks nonsense, tries to quibble and slanders you , If such a person does not severely punish my lord, why will he join the army in the future? Please make a decision immediately, my lord, and march to rectify the universe."
