Cui Xie's facial muscles twitched so much that Xie Ying's heart trembled as he took him into his arms, rubbing his heart and comforting: "The Censor hasn't come back yet, the case of Mr. Cui is not necessarily true or false. , or it may be framed by others. And it is also a rule for foreign officials to take some money locally. I don’t think Mr. Cui is too much, and Mr. Inspector will not be too strict. I am naturally in the commissary department. I will watch the people below give leniency to the punishment, and I will not hurt the body of the Lord..."

The last time Cui Xie's stepmother committed the crime, he was the presiding judge and exiled the Xu family to Fujian; now the father of the family has run into his hands again, and it's another big case. He really felt that he was hit with a severe punishment, and it was suspected that it would harm the six relatives - not only the six relatives, but now even the grandfather!

Feeling sorry for Cui Xie, he turned his head slightly, not daring to look at his face.

He also didn't see Cui Xie's smile that finally couldn't hold back, nor did he see Cui Xie's unbearable pity when he said he wanted a lenient sentence.

It took a lot of effort for Cui Xie to suppress his excitement, he turned his face to himself, and said solemnly, "I am also a person who has read the laws, don't I know the strictness of the court's laws? If my father really never made mistakes, I believe that The Holy Master and you will definitely return my father's innocence, if... if my father does violate the law in Yunnan, I can spend all my money to atone for my father, and I can't ask you to pervert the law for my family's affairs."

He looked into Xie Ying's eyes and said sincere words: "Brother Ying, you are Xie Qingtian in the hearts of the people of the Ming Dynasty and an example of Jin Yiwei. You can't ruin your own integrity for my father alone, and you will also ruin the world. Impression of Jin Yiwei."

Xie Ying also knew that there was nothing to investigate in this case. According to the case set by the envoy in Yunnan, 99% of the 100% of Senator Cui was bribery.

He once wanted to protect Cui Ju because he was Cui Xie's biological father. If the father was convicted of corruption and perversion of the law, his son would inevitably be criticized. But Cui Xie has rehearsed and painted in order to clean up Bai Jinyiwei's reputation over the years. I don't know how many people he has begged and how much he has suffered, so that the two can communicate smoothly in the future and not cause trouble because of his reputation.

Is it to take care of the reputation of Cui's family and to exonerate Senator Cui;

Xie Ying pondered for a long time, and finally the thought of returning with Cui Xie Baishou prevailed.

He lowered his eyelids slightly and comforted: "As a Taoist councilor, he won't do anything to pervert the law, and he doesn't have that power. Just to get some money, it's the crime of exile, I'll try my best in the future. Ask the Holy One for grace, so that Master Cui can spend money to redeem his prison sentence and return to his hometown for the people."

It would be even better if the emperor could raise his hand to Lord Cui and only ask him to return the stolen goods and return to his hometown to stay idle.

After all, he was selfish for a while and chose his side between the reputation of the Cui family and the future of the two of them. After saying these words, I felt sorry for Cui Xie's love for him, so I hugged Cui Xie silently, and said after a while, "I will try my best to take care of Mr. Cui in prison, and I will help you take care of your parents in the future. brother and nephew."

Cui Xie grabbed him with emotion and said, "Our two families are already a family, what else does the family care about? You should not be too protective of my father, and it will hinder your work. My father will not fall into the hands of Jin Yiwei. If you fall into the Metropolitan Police Court or the Ministry of Punishment, don’t they need to be tortured? Even if there is a slight torture injury, you will send him to the doctor and medicine after he returns. I will slowly persuade him. He is a sensible person and will never blame you. ."

Xie and Cui understood and comforted each other at home, and a team of Jin Yiwei had also set off from Beijing to Jiaxiang Village, Qian'an, to take the guilty person Cui Ju.

The leader of the team was Yao Qianhu, the most trustworthy man under Master Xie.

The commander, Master Zhu, has also read several Jinyiwei comic strips in recent years. When he sent someone, thinking of the close relationship between Cui Hanlin and Xie Zhenfu, he naturally pointed to Yao Qianhu and asked him: "This official wants to choose from the one you have before. Ten people go to Qian'an and bring the criminal Cui back to the Zhenfu Division for trial, Yao Qianhu, what do you think?"

Yao Qianhu replied skillfully: "Master Zhu said that. The lower official will call for someone to bring Cui Ju back."

Zhu Tongzhi smiled slightly and said solemnly, "When you go, be gentle on Cui Hanlin's face, don't scare his family."

Yao Qianhu is a decent man who knows how to do things. When he took his children to the outside of Cui's house in Jiaxiangtun, he knocked on the door politely, and said to the family who came to greet him, "This is the house of Mr. Cui, the former Zuoshen of Qingshu Road in Yunnan. ? Yao Jing, a thousand households in front of Xiajinyiwei, is unknown whether Mr. Cui is there?"

After the questioning, several of the accompanying captains surrounded the family and asked him to take them to the backyard with a smile. As soon as they met, they went straight to Senator Cui, and locked him down without saying a word.

It was the second time in his life that Cui Heng saw Jin Yiwei taking people, and the fear that went deep into the bones of his mother and himself when they were arrested reappeared, and he asked in shock and fear: "I, I am Cui, Cui Zhuangyuan's younger brother, I am My father is Cui Zhuangyuan's father, and our family has a good relationship with Xie Zhenfu..."

Brother He stood behind the second brother and said calmly, "My lord, my father is the Yunnan Councilor, not a thief. I don't know why you ask him?"

However, a person's face flashed across Senator Cui's heart—the only person who hated him to the bone, and who would bring him to ruin, and the only person who was bold enough to falsely accuse officials.

He couldn't help but glared at his second son with hatred, then took up the air of being a fourth-rank official, and asked calmly, "But my ex-wife who wrote a letter to frame an official has sued me again?"

Cui Heng felt a pain in his heart, and he could hardly stand up. He and his brother behind him hurriedly supported him. The family members in the hospital did not dare to approach the master even when surrounded by Jin Yiwei.

Yao Qianhu chuckled lightly: "According to the official's opinion, Mr. Cui still can't guess. We Jinyiwei handle the cases that are handed over to Beijing by the officials from various places, and the emperor himself points out the case of the Beizhen Fusi. Do you think it was Yunnan Bujian's second envoy who framed you, or is the emperor's sanctification unclear?"

Counselor Cui's upright rebuttal was blocked in his throat, his face flushed, but Cui Heng, who was beside him, was quietly relieved, and he regained a little strength, and he was able to stand up straight.

Maybe he was really unfilial, but listening to this Jinyiwei think tank, Yao Qianhu, who even Xie Zhenfu had to discuss with him on everything, said that his father was really guilty, and it was not his mother who framed him, but he felt a little joy in his heart.

His mother didn't commit a crime this time, and could live in Yunnan safely and without having to be tortured for him again.

He lowered his head and was silently happy, but Brother He looked at Yao Qianhu and Senator Cui in disappointment. The reverence for his father since childhood was shaken at this time. His age is the age to worship authority, and in handling cases, what else can be more authoritative than the famous Jinyiwei Qianhu in the most fashionable "Jinyiwei Comic Book" in Beijing

What's more, Yao Qianhu said that his father's crime was not a false accusation, but that his father's superior in Yunnan had verified it, which means that his father had really committed a crime...

Why can't the father who hasn't seen him for many years be as good as their big brother

Counselor Cui knew about his own affairs and had no reason to argue with Jin Yiwei. He could only wink at his sons and ask them to go back to Beijing and ask the eldest son to help him destroy the evidence, and then ask someone to save him. But the two brothers were stuck in their own thoughts, and they didn't see their father's intentions at all, they just followed silently, watching Jin Yiwei drag him out of the village.

When the talent arrived at the door, there was another noisy shout from Zhuangzi. Several women from the Zhuang household ran out crying, saying that the old lady heard that her son was arrested by Jin Yiwei and fainted!

Cui Ju cried out "mother" in pain, and was about to go back to see the old lady. The two grandsons also woke up and looked at Jin Yiwei nervously and worriedly. Yao Qianhu is now a famous person, he can't act as straightforward as in previous years, and he must also pay attention to the reputation of caring for the people, so he said to the Cui brothers: "You go to see your grandmother first, and this official will call someone to ask for a doctor. Come and see your old lady."

Only Senator Cui in his hand was ordered to commit a crime, and if he took someone, he would have to return to Beijing to pay the decree, and he could not wait for the old lady to wake up.

The criminal Cui Mou entered the Zhenfu Division, and as a rule, he had to be beaten. Xie Ying had already spoken with Cui Xie, not afraid that he would resent him for hurting his father, so he still enforced the law impartially. There was no shortage of board, but it was implied that people were lighter when they got off the board, so that one meal would not cost him half his life.

Counselor Cui knew very well that when he entered the Zhenfu Division, he entered the Palace of the King of Hell. After returning from the punishment, he took out the lock of the prison with money from his waist and begged him to send a letter to the outside, asking his son to help him and Xie Zhen. Fu said a few good words and sent more money to save my father.

The guards, looking at the friendship between the two adults Cui and Xie, treated him with great respect, the father of the champion, and did not dare to ask for his money, so they just stood in the distance and replied, "Don't worry, Lord Cui, Xie Zhenfu. He is a good official who is as bright as the sky. He will definitely take care of the grievances of the adults and release you as soon as possible. The children were also ordered to bring spirits and medicines to the adults. The adults were injured on the buttocks. , it is not convenient for me to take medicine, please ask the little ones to serve you."

What's the use of serving the wounds, the most important thing is to send someone a message to his eldest son, first bring him back to Beijing and burn the account books, so as not to have people search the house and take the evidence!

Cui Ju now regrets that he was angry with his eldest son before, and instead of handing over the money, things and accounts collected in Yunnan to his son, he gave it to his concubine instead. What do the women know, his son is a capable man, and he will be able to handle things properly, so that the Jinyi guards can't find out the actual evidence—

Hiss, it hurts! The taste of this spirit poured on the wound is like another torture, which ruthless thief came up with!

Senator Cui tossed and turned in the dark dungeon with a lot of worries and a butt wound, and he could only hope that his eldest son understood the unspoken rules of officialdom and could handle the things he brought with him.

Heaven finally responded to his heart.

After his eldest son Xie Ying left, he called the accountant and trusted family members he brought back from Yunnan to the mansion, and had a trial at night. He is the young master of the family, the promising champion and the prime minister of Hanlin, and the master returns to his hometown to keep his filial piety. He is in charge of everything in the family, and the family does not dare to hide it from him.

The tent that followed Senator Cui to Yunnan had the intention to hide some private accounts for Dong Weng, but Cui Xie glanced at him with those bright eyes that seemed to be able to see through everything, and said lightly, "I don't hide it from you, today. I called you here because of what happened to our master in Yunnan. You explained it clearly, I want to be active in the DPRK and get light sentences for serious crimes, so everyone can live a peaceful life. If you don't make it clear, the money sent will be called Jinyi Weicha. When you come out, don't blame me for sending all of you to exile, all of you who didn't know how much money you stole in Yunnan!"

Jin Yiwei... The accountant asked boldly, "Isn't your son getting along well with Lord Xie of Beizhen Fusi? Can you ask him to help cover one or two?"

Cui Xie said with a sneer, "You must have a deep understanding of what you're talking about when you talk like that. You did the master's account in Yunnan, right? It must be you, a sly villain, who is behind the master's back to collect money and cause the master to ask Jin Yiwei to stare at him. -Someone, tie Song's account to me, and tomorrow I will deliver it to Beizhen Fusi in person!"

The accountant was so frightened that he immediately knelt down and begged for mercy. The family members on the side were really angry when they saw that the uncle was moved, and the Cui family was also in danger of the building being collapsed.

Most of the things that Senator Cui brought from Yunnan were sealed in the library, but those were not the most valuable. The most valuable silver, jewelry and account books were handed over to the favored concubine Ming.

The aunt Ming was young, and his elder son was not suitable to meet her face to face, so he ordered the servant to ask the wife of the family to go in and tie the two aunts from Yunnan, and then asked Sister Yun and her aunt to lead someone to search her room. thing.

Sister Yun's good marriage depends entirely on his eldest brother, who has nothing to do with Senator Cui, and if she wants to live a good life in the future, it mainly depends on his eldest brother, not necessarily her father. Sister Yun's biological mother knew what was going on, and she acted decisively. She led someone to tie up Aunt Ming and another Aunt Sun, and took out the furniture and furnishings in her house, and took out large and small things and spread them out in the courtyard.

A lot of things that were interesting between Senator Cui and the second concubine were even exposed.

Cui Xie was also embarrassed for himself, sent his family away, looked at the things in person, and entered the empty yard again. He even turned over the bricks, and did not dare to drop the slightest evidence.

It turned out that Senator Cui was not only asking for bribes, but also asking for the property of local officials and barbarians in the name of the Qing Huang Book. There is also condoning family loan sharks... Although this is a common move in the officialdom, but if it is more serious, it is a serious crime of exile, and the punishment of several crimes will always make him suffer!

With all the human and physical evidence, no matter how sad and sad he was in his heart, he had to kill his relatives for the emperor's righteousness. Cui Xie closed his eyes and studied the mentality of a true loyal minister and filial son when he encountered such a thing. He tried not to show too obvious joy, and wrote a post and ordered someone to invite Xie Ying.

The evidence was handed over to the Zhenfu Division, and his father's fate was left to the emperor to decide. And when he was a son, he was able to write a letter to exonerate his stepmother, but this time he couldn't be indifferent to his father, so he had to resign because of guilt!

However, today's Holy Son of Heaven will definitely not implicate him, a good minister who is honest, upright, loyal and righteous, and let him return to his hometown to serve the people. The only thing I need to worry about is whether the grace on him will be too thick, and whether the two disciples will be so powerful that the emperor is willing to forgive his father for him...

When writing the letter, it must be clearly written that Senator Cui has harmed the place, and the poison is so serious that he, as a son, would not dare to exonerate his father.
