The Famous Detective of the Red Mansion

Chapter 857: Compromise and exchange

Views:

Just when Mrs. Xing's color changed because of Xing Xiuyan's words, the case analysis meeting of the yamen in Dali Temple had also come to an end.

It is said that it is a case analysis meeting, in fact, it is mainly to praise the virtues.

After all, in just two days, the real culprit of the headless case in Tianshi Mansion was captured. For Dali Temple, which has been salted fish for many years, it is definitely an achievement worthy of writing.

Even Wei Yi, the secretary of the Dali Temple, turned against the previous attitude of ostracism and neglect, and praised Sun Shaozong's professional quality.

After all, it was sent by imperial order this time, and thanks to Sun Shaozong, he, the nominal leader of Dali Temple, naturally also lost some benefits.

At least in the future, when facing the Ministry of Punishment and the Metropolitan Procuratorate, he will not be short of breath before speaking.

in addition…

In fact, he was also worried that Sun Shaozong would have extracurricular problems. After all, according to various signs, Sun Shaozong still seemed to suspect that Hongyuan Zhenren was also involved in the case.

This is not in the personal interests of Dali Temple and his Wei Yi.

You must know that the real person Hongyuan is one of the emperor's most favored alchemists. According to the current actions, even if he can be identified as the culprit behind the scenes, most of them will be leniently punished in the end.

After all, what he was going to kill was a pair of adulterers and a silver-haired woman—although he killed the wrong person in the end, there is an old saying 'no matter what happens', what's more, he is most likely to be deceived by others, and it is not him who committed the murder. .

In this era of evil and adultery, it is not a serious crime for the bitter master to kill the adulterer and the silver woman.

If Sun Shaozong exposes this matter, but in the end he cannot crucify the real person Hongyuan, then Dali Temple will definitely take him back.

Not counting Sun Shaozong as the instigator, then the one who will bear the brunt at that time, wouldn't it be him, the Dali temple minister

Therefore, the main purpose of Wei Yi's holding this meeting is to put things at ease, not to directly close the case, or at least not to investigate further with great fanfare.

In short, a 'drag' word.

But he was actually overthinking it.

When Sun Shaozong investigated the case before, although he was disgusted with Hongyuan's hypocritical attitude, he wanted to expose the truth behind the scenes.

But now Ma Yizhen is bitten to death and refuses to confess. He has no choice but to take Hongyuan real person for a while - he can't use the clues he deduced and prosecute him on trumped-up charges, right

So even if Wei Yi didn't mean it, the case was destined to be let go.

But since Wei Yi was cautious and tried to persuade him to give up, if Sun Shaozong didn't take advantage of the situation and exchange for some benefits, wouldn't this good opportunity be wasted in vain

Therefore, at the meeting, he has been ambiguous and never made a statement.

It was not until the final conclusion was reached that an additional issue was suddenly thrown.

"Publicans go to the countryside?"

Wei Yi and You Shaoqing, Li Wenshan, chewed on this unfamiliar term with a thoughtful look.

These four words are straightforward, but what exactly is in them makes the two of them uncertain.

"It's 'Public Law Going to the Countryside'!"

Sun Shaozong looked around at the people present, and then said decisively: "The biggest problem of our Dali Temple right now is that the foundation is not strong, and it has little influence in the local area. True to its name?"

"After thinking about it, Sun thought that the best and most thorough way to change this embarrassing situation is to 'Put the law to the countryside'!"

"Only when the powers, responsibilities and tentacles are penetrated into the fields of the vast countryside, and rooted in the hearts of the hundreds of millions of people in the Zhou Dynasty, can our Dali Temple truly be worthy of the title of 'the general constitution of the world's principles and disciplines'!"

If these words were spoken in front of the lower-level scribes and yamen, they might attract some fanatical feedback.

But in this Dali Temple's ya, among this group of officials with the lowest rank seven, what they got was an embarrassing silence.

Sun Shaozong wasn't in a hurry, he didn't expect these bureaucrats who served vegetarian meals to become active all of a sudden.

Besides, he just mentioned a name, and the specific content has not been elaborated. If someone really jumped out to support it, he seemed to be clueless.

Wei Yi was obviously aware of this, but he didn't want Sun Shaozong to discuss the matter at the meeting.

"Sun Shaoqing can be so considerate of my Dali Temple, the old man is very relieved."

He tapped lightly on the armrest of the chair with his fingers, and said calmly, "However, what we want to discuss today is after all the case of the Tianshi Mansion, and it is not too late to discuss matters that have nothing to do with this, after I and Li Shaoqing have a look at it. "

Sun Shaozong smiled when he heard the words: "Naturally, it is necessary to ask Lord Tingwei and Li Shaoqing to act elegantly first. After all, we always need the full support of all colleagues, so that this official can go to court in front of the elders."

After a pause, he said: "But this case is nothing to discuss at the moment. It is difficult to explain a few doubts in it. I'm afraid that I will have to check it carefully."

This is an obvious quid pro quo.

The implied meaning in his words is clearly that if the Dali Temple cannot reach a consensus and support his proposal to the court of 'Publicizing the Law to the Countryside', then the case of the Tianshi Mansion will not be stopped.

If others take such a semi-threatening attitude, Wei Yi will definitely unite everyone on the spot and embarrass the other party.

However, in the face of the powerful Sun Shaozong, Wei Yi was really not sure that he could mobilize everyone to besiege him.

Therefore, after hesitating, he had to change his mouth and say: "Then don't rush to a conclusion, just as the old man is quite concerned about the 'Public Law's going to the countryside' that Sun Shaoqing just mentioned - why don't you wait until after lunch? Would you like to go to the flower hall to discuss first?"

Although he chose to compromise, he did not say anything to death.

If Sun Shaozong's proposal is practical and feasible, and it can really save Dali Temple from the current predicament, it is not a big deal for him to express his position.

If it is whimsical, or it involves the distribution of power within Dali Temple, it must be carefully weighed.

The two giants have reached a compromise, and Li Wenshan has not expressed any objections. Naturally, there is no need to continue this case analysis meeting.

At the moment, Wei Yi made the usual conclusion speech, and then got up and left the table, followed by Sun Shaozong and Li Wenshan, and then a group of officials, all of them went out of the inner ya according to the size of the official position.

However, Sun Shaozong said that when he returned to the Zuo Temple official office, he first ordered someone to take out the "Public Law Going to the Countryside" regulations polished by Yu Qian, and read it again from beginning to end.

The specific details, Sun Shaozong has long been aware of.

What really needs to be reviewed again are those embellishments that are based on the classics and are empty.

Don't underestimate these stupid things.

Most of the people who can enter the cabinet or play important responsibilities in the DPRK this year will not have less ink in their stomachs.

If you want to get a dry article in the vernacular, people have to deduct a lot of impression points for you before they have read the content carefully.

Although Sun Shaozong's current status and reputation will always receive some preferential treatment, it will never do any good to fight against the mainstream values.

Less gossip.

It was easy for him to memorize the various allusions quoted by Yu Qian with the understanding of the corresponding ancient books, and it was already past noon.

Sun Shaozong stretched his waist and came out of the inner room. He wanted to greet the scribe to pass the meal, but when he arrived at the outer room, he saw Zhang Cheng holding a teapot and pouring himself a drink in the corner.

"how?"

Sun Shaozong raised his eyebrows: "A letter from home came?"

Zhang Cheng hurriedly threw away the teapot and teacup, stood up and said respectfully, "If you go back to the second master, the official sent an invitation to come over, saying that it's from the Prison Temple tomorrow, and will officially appear on the stage. The family asks you to make up your mind as soon as possible, when you see it, whether to come over in person to cheer, or give a generous gift."

Saying that, he put a gilded post with both hands.

Sun Shaozong didn't need to look at it to know that this was an invitation sent by Jiang Yuhan.

It was estimated that the day before yesterday, it should have been delivered to her own house, but Ruan Rong did not expect that he would stay in Ningguo Mansion overnight for two days in a row, so it was not until now that someone sent it over.

To be honest, Sun Shaozong actually didn't have much interest in such things as opera, and he was even more attentive to Jiang Yuhan.

But helplessly, the touting of 'famous characters' this year is even more fanatical than chasing small fresh meat in later generations.

Especially among their old friends, there are a few die-hard fans. If they really show an attitude of alienation, they will make it difficult for each other.

Therefore, on the first day of the first month of November, we still have to go through the scene.

ah~

People can't help themselves in the arena.

Reluctantly, he accepted the invitation and conveyed his intentions to Zhang Cheng, but seeing that Zhang Cheng was still standing there and had no intention of retreating, Sun Shaozong asked again, "Why, is there anything else? "

Zhang Cheng said hurriedly: "Aunt You also sent a message, saying that your good news is coming, but what kind of good news is it, the person who sent the message is not clear."

Something good is coming

Could it be that Second Sister You heard that someone was going to arrange a marriage for her in Ningguo Mansion

That's not right, I haven't done it yet, where can I say something good is coming

After thinking about it, I didn't have any ideas, but I thought of other things from this.

When I see Second Sister You again, I have to ask her to remind You Shi: that contraceptive decoction, you might as well use a few more pairs.

After all, with her petite figure and her own size, getting to the 'place' in one step is not just talk. One or two doses of decoction may not be able to 'root out' easily. If not, she would not be pregnant at the beginning. .

It would be a lot of fun if there was a matter of conspiracy and conception with someone during Youshi's wake.
