Chapter 246 The Alliance Under the City ([-])

Sure enough, he really found a good scapegoat!

The booklet is very thick, and it can’t contain thousands of words. Naturally, it is all about the trial process and conclusions. Of course, there are many words such as asking for merit, but there are actually only a few core ones. Although Hong Qing read it slowly , In fact, the most important core part has been scanned with just one glance. As expected by Hong Qing, the scapegoat pushed out is Lu Kunpeng, the doctor of the autumn trial office. A tacit result.

Originally, Lu Kunpeng's performance at Caishikou had been fully seen by the old man, so he would definitely not be able to keep it. Even if he was charged with more crimes, he would only die. Even if the family is ransacked, it won't be the case that the whole family will be ransacked. At most, the family members will be exiled at the border. With Ba Ye's tricks, at most a few years, the Lu family can be brought back to the capital. With a little care, Lu Kun Peng doesn't have any regrets at all, it's a win-win situation - the fourth master can settle the case, it can be regarded as regaining the prestige that has been repeatedly damaged, and the eighth master can also get peace here, it's really happy for everyone Come on, the problem is that Hong Qing is not happy, there is nothing else, it took a lot of effort to pick out such a little thing from the hand of Ba Ye, how can Hong Qing's appetite be satisfied, no Cutting off a large piece of meat from fourth master's body, this matter can't be over!
"Does Qing'er have any doubts? You might as well say that she will come out."

Hong Qing read it very carefully. She read the thick booklet for half an hour, and she just went through it once. But after reading it, she didn't say a word, but closed her eyes slightly, expressing something. In a state of thinking, he was silent for a long time, and he didn't say anything, until the fourth master, who is known for his perseverance, couldn't hold his breath anymore, and had to ask questions in a deep groan road.

"Fourth Uncle Mingjian, my nephew really doesn't know how to judge cases, and it's really hard to see what's wrong after reading this booklet, but my nephew has a few things that I don't understand, so I ask my fourth uncle to give me some pointers."

If you want to blackmail, you can't do it if you don't criticize, but you are very particular about how to criticize. He sincerely asked for instructions, seemingly courteous, but in fact he was hiding his wit.

"Oh? Qing'er just say it straight if you have something to say, but anyone who is an uncle who knows it will not hide it."

The fourth master is a delicate person, so he knew that Hong Qing was going to pick a thorn in his ear, and his already modest heart couldn't help but become a little more guilty. Fortunately, the city is deep, and he didn't show timidity at all, he just frowned slightly. He frowned, and let out a quiet voice.

"Then there is Fourth Uncle Lao, my nephew is not familiar with all matters of the Criminal Department, but I also know that the Qiujue matter is not something that can only be decided by the Qiujue Division. On the contrary, the Qiujue Division is only responsible for checking the documents submitted by the Prison Division. The list is only for the implementation of the autumn judgment. According to the law, there is no possibility of private contact with the death row prisoner. With a doctor like Lu Kunpeng alone, if he wants to privately replace the death row prisoner from the prison hall, he may not be able to? Even if there are several prisoners It is involved in it, but it is difficult to hide it from the first trial of the prison hall. Is there really nothing wrong with it? Moreover, according to the file, Lu Kunpeng collected 5000 taels of silver from each death row prisoner through an intermediary, and the three death row prisoners That's as much as 5000 taels, and the sum of money distributed to the gang below and the money for the deceased is less than 800 taels. Where did the remaining 3000 taels go? The so-called catching thieves Taking stolen goods, you have to take out the stolen goods in order to be convicted? Fourth Uncle, what do you think?"

Hong Qing confessed that she didn't know how to judge cases, but all the questions she asked were the key points in the case. If Fourth Master couldn't give a clear explanation, the case would obviously not be closed.

"Well, nephew Xian asked a good question. As for this matter, it is really a coincidence. Lu Kunpeng and Sun Miao's father have old friends. According to him, it seems that he still owes Sun Miao's father a lot of debts. In order to pay off the debt, Only then did he plan to slaughter the white goose, and then he felt that doing one is doing the same thing, and doing the third is also doing the same thing, so he made two more deals. As for the prisons, they were generally bought by them and worked together. According to his confession, most of the silver he got has been squandered by him except for the share with those who beat him. Now, none of the money that can be recovered is probably not a single one. Therefore, the matter is unthinkable, therefore, Uncle Wei did not mention it in the memorial, if the nephew thinks it is inappropriate, then Uncle Wei will add it."

Even though he had expected that Hong Qing would pick on the case, the fourth master never expected that Hong Qing would hit the most critical point in the first pick. It wasn't that he was dumbfounded by Hong Qing's question on the spot, but the explanation made by Fourth Master was really too far-fetched, even he couldn't convince himself, it was just a random talk in a hurry.

"Since Fourth Uncle thinks it's unbelievable, there's no need to add it, so as not to make a fuss for those who don't know it. Once there are more details, it's really inappropriate. It's just..."

The fundamental purpose of the criticism was not to overthrow the case, but to dig out a few pieces of flesh from Fourth Master. Of course, Hong Qing would not confuse this point. Because of this, even if the explanation given by Fourth Master was really It was so ridiculous that Hong Qing wouldn't expose it on the spot, but if the fourth master wanted to pass the test so easily, there was no way.

"Qing'er, is there anything you don't understand? It's okay, just say it, and I should explain it clearly for my uncle."

Fourth Master himself didn't have much confidence in the previous set of rhetoric. He was really afraid that Hong Qing would embarrass himself by poking his hoof, but he never expected that Hong Qing would accept it so calmly, and was overjoyed , and changed the word "virtuous nephew" to the affectionate "Qing'er", in order to comfort Hong Qing, a guy who never plays cards according to common sense.

"This... oh, I'm ashamed to say it, fourth uncle, you know it, and my nephew, there used to be a teacher in the mansion, which was hired by Ama to teach my nephew, but I didn't expect that Mrs. Chen insisted on Just let the house teach the little nephew, well, this time it’s okay, it’s fine for the little nephew to suffer and suffer, but Mr. Zhao, the teacher, almost lost his job because of this. Ama couldn’t bear it, so she arranged for him to go to the Ministry of Rites and become a head clerk After two years, I have been diligent, but there are too few monks, and it is difficult to be promoted. Although my nephew has not been studying with him for a long time, he has the status of a master and apprentice after all. No, but my nephew can't be the master in the Ministry of Industry, so I really can only come to ask my fourth uncle, at least I can get a doctor in the household department, my nephew's face is also bright, isn't it? Hey, my nephew just said casually That's all, if the fourth uncle thinks it's not right, then he can be his nephew."

Hong Qing's face blushed slightly, and she talked a lot shyly, going around and around, and in the final analysis, it was just one thing, asking the fourth master to take out a position as a doctor in the household department.

"Well, I'm afraid it's not good for Qing'er to respect the teacher. Although this matter is a bit difficult, but since Qing'er has already opened her mouth, even if she is willing to go all out for the uncle, she has to do something for Qing'er. .”

The doctor in the household department is one of the richest vacancies, and it is basically impossible to succeed without a million taels of silver. Don't look at the fourth master who is in charge of the household department now, but he can really hold only seven or more officials above the doctor's office. There are only eight people, if you really want to offer such a fat vacancy to Hong Qing, the fourth master really feels very distressed, but there are people under the eaves, and the fourth master can't do it unless he bows his head. After a moment of embarrassment, he still can only put on a cheerful look , agreed to Hongqing's blackmail.

"In that case, my nephew would like to thank fourth uncle on Mr. Zhao's behalf. If you can make it in time, you might as well ask Mr. Zhao to report to the Ministry of Households tomorrow or the next day. How do you see it, fourth uncle?"

Although the fourth master promised very readily, Hong Qing didn't fully believe it. He didn't want to be a debt collector's grandson after the case was over, what he wanted was to put the fat in his bowl first.

"Well..., whatever, Uncle Wei will ask the Ministry of Households to report a letter to the Ministry of Officials tomorrow. As for when the letter will be lowered by the Ministry of Officials, it is not up to Uncle Wei to decide. Please also ask for this one. My nephew is more considerate."

Seeing that Hong Qing made it clear that he didn't trust her, the fourth master was really angry and annoyed, but he couldn't help it, so he had no choice but to nod thoughtfully, and reluctantly agreed to Hong Qing's request. Blackmail.

"Thank you, Fourth Uncle, ah, there is one more thing that my nephew almost forgot, hey, it's like this, Uncle Fifteen has just taken in two of his subordinates, both of whom are from Zhenglan Banner, and they're all working in front of the Ministry of Households right now. , Speaking of which, I have been working for three or five years, but it is a pity that I have never been promoted, and I have a lot of grievances. I am annoyed by the price all day, and the tea and food are not good. Can my nephew transfer these two servants to the Ministry of Industry? Alas, my nephew wants to help, but unfortunately he has no power in his hands, right? This matter has been dragged on for some time. Today, fourth uncle Demeng Thick love, my nephew will have the audacity to ask for one more time, and ask fourth uncle to be considerate, and you don't need a high position, just the two masters, what do you think, fourth uncle?"

Although the position of a household doctor is considered good, Hong Qing cannot be satisfied with it. Before the fourth master could let go of his breath, Hong Qing suddenly slapped his forehead, as if suddenly thinking of it, and blackmailed him grandiosely. up.

"Well..., that's all, it's just a few trivial matters, and fourth uncle will ask someone to take care of it later."

The fourth master has never been a good-tempered person. After being blackmailed by Hong Qing so wantonly, he was really so angry that his eyes were filled with gold stars. Do you want to dismiss him? It may be that he let out a sigh of relief, and reluctantly agreed.

"Fourth Uncle is indeed a straightforward person. Okay, so let's not bother my nephew. When Fourth Uncle is going to write the book, my nephew will be the co-signer. Let me leave!"

Now that the blackmailer had already arrived, Hong Qing didn't make things difficult for Fourth Master any more. After a haha, he got up and left, leaving Fourth Master in a daze in the room. Yes, there was a burst of tea bowls smashing on the ground in the office...
