Chapter 818 820【Unhappy retribution】
When Xiang Nan, Hu Suhua, Sai Xishi, Defu and others were celebrating the opening of the new store, Wang Tianhe, who was sitting on the second floor of the teahouse diagonally opposite, couldn't help but gasped when he saw the prosperity of the new store after it opened. My eyes are red.
During these days, he has been trying every means to suppress Xiang Nan. But he didn't want Xiang Nan not only not to be knocked down by him, but his career became more and more prosperous.
Compared to this, his business partner Meng Qinghe died, and his loyal dog Lu Zhong was arrested. Even he is in danger now and may be confessed at any time...
Thus, he became more and more sure that Xiang Nan was his enemy and nemesis.
The better Xiang Nan's career is, the worse his career is. If Xiang Nan is not suppressed, he will not have a good life.
However, he also heard what Prince Jing said just now, if he blatantly confronted Xiang Nan again, he might not be able to pass the test of the prince.
Therefore, in order to deal with Xiang Nan, another opportunity must be found.
…
At this time, Liu Tongpan from Shuntian Mansion went up to the second floor.
"Master Wang, you are so interested~" Liu Tongpan laughed when he saw Wang Tianhe.
"Master Liu, please sit down~" Wang Tianhe hurriedly got up and greeted, "Hey, how can I have any interest now? There is such a big scandal in the Taiyuan Hospital. As the head of the hospital, I can hardly absolve myself of the blame."
"Your Majesty Wang, you don't have to say that. There are dead branches on a big tree. It's quite normal for there to be someone who has misconduct among dozens of imperial physicians in the imperial hospital." Liu Tongpan waved his hand and smiled.
When Wang Tianhe heard this, his expression suddenly became a little unnatural.
"Master Liu, no matter what, Lu Zhong is also my colleague, and I don't want to watch him beheaded." He then said, "Do you think there is any way to save his life?"
"Master Wang is really kind." Liu Tongpan laughed, "To tell you the truth, there is a way, after all. It can be done whether it is life or death."
Ancient officials were different. Officials are mostly appointed by the imperial court and have grades, so they are called court officials; while minor officials are recruited by the government, and they are not ranked or listed.
In addition, officials are not allowed to serve in their native places, and there will be an evaluation every three years, and those who are capable will go up and those who are mediocre will go down. Moreover, most of the officials came from a legitimate background, and usually only studied the Four Books and the Five Classics, and did not understand criminal law, water conservancy, field mulberry and other official duties.
In comparison, most of the petty officials are local tyrants, and there is no evaluation, as long as they please the favor of the superior, they can stay in the yamen forever. They have been doing things for many years, so they have a wealth of experience.
So when officials want to do something, they often have to be referred by small officials and responsible for execution.
In ancient times, judging cases paid attention to [referring to examples], and even the importance of case cases was greater than that of court law.
For example, a certain crime should be executed according to the law, but if there are previous cases where the execution was not executed, there is a high probability that the execution will not be executed.
Small officials have been working all year round, and naturally accumulated a large number of cases. Many cases are clearly similar, but the verdicts are very different, which gives the petty officials room to exploit.
For money, they can turn big crimes into small crimes, small crimes into innocent, innocents into guilty, and small crimes into big crimes. Therefore, there has been a saying since ancient times, let your officials be as clear as water, and officials will be as slippery as oil.
Lu Zhong attempted to set fire to the inner city and burn Xiang Nan's family to death. It seemed a heinous crime that could not be punished, but the judge still had a way to save his life.
"Then I would like to ask Mr. Liu to help you more." Wang Tianhe stuffed a stack of bank tickets and said.
Liu Tongpan nodded, "Lord Wang, don't worry, they are all officials in the same dynasty, so I will take care of it naturally."
…
Subsequently, under Liu Tongpan's operation, Lu Zhong escaped to death.
Hearing this news, Prince Jing was very dissatisfied. He insisted that Lu Zhong be sentenced to death.
However, he still exerted pressure and dispatched Lu Zhongfa to Ninggu Pagoda. In this way, Lu Zhong will almost have to stay in the bitter cold of the northeast for his whole life.
Hearing the news, Xiang Nan couldn't help but sigh with emotion.
In the play, Xilaile and his family were assigned to Ninggu Pagoda for more than ten years, and they did not return to the capital until the fall of the Qing court. Unexpectedly, now it is Lu Zhong who has been assigned to Ninggu Pagoda.
But the culprit, Wang Tianhe, was unscathed this time, which makes people feel a little regretful.
"Lu Zhong was obviously sent by Wang Tianhe, but Shuntian Mansion didn't investigate him properly and let him go for nothing." Defu said indignantly.
"Yeah, if it wasn't for the cleverness of the old man this time, our family would have gone to hell." Hu Suhua also scolded, "I really don't know how we offended Wang Tianhe and hurt us so much."
"Brother Xi, how did you know that they wanted to harm us?" Sai Xishi asked curiously.
Xiang Nan then recounted the conversation he heard from the hooligans when he was watching the night.
Everyone hears this and recite Amitabha together!
It's not that Xiang Nan is alert, they will really die.
"Old man, we were wrong before and shouldn't have laughed at you." Both Hu Suhua and Sai Xishi apologized.
When they went out to buy vegetables before, Xiang Nan asked his two apprentices to follow him. They also laughed at Xiang Nan for being timid, once bitten by a snake, and afraid of well ropes for ten years.
It is only now that I know that Xiang Nan really has good intentions.
"Okay, we are all one family, let's not talk about this." Xiang Nan waved his hand and said, "In short, we must be more careful in the future.
We caught Lu Zhong and broke Wang Tianhe's arm. With his petty, jealous and capable character, he will definitely not let it go, and will definitely find ways to deal with us again. So it's not yet time for the knives and guns to be stored and the horses to be released to Nanshan. "
Everyone nodded when they heard it.
…
Lu Zhong was dispatched to Ninggu Pagoda under the mediation of Wang Tianhe.
Before he set off on the road, Wang Tianhe prepared a farewell banquet for him at Shibali Pavilion.
Tian Kui also went.
"Lu Zhong, I'm sorry for you, I failed to save you." Wang Tianhe looked at Lu Zhong, feeling very uncomfortable.
He has only been in prison for a few days, and he has lost several laps. There is almost no flesh on the face, and the cheekbones are bulging. Moreover, the front teeth were also broken, and the face was swollen from the beating, and it looked as if it was ten years old.
He couldn't help being very sad, raised his glass, punished himself three times and said, "This old man is here, I apologize to you."
"Master Wang, please don't say that. The little one survived this time, thanks to you. If there is another life left, the little one will definitely be married and repay your kindness." Lu Zhong said hastily.
"Lu Zhong, don't worry, I will find a way to get you back." Wang Tianhe said again.
"Thank you, my lord." Lu Zhong nodded, "My lord, after I leave, you have to be extra careful."
"Grandfather, I am humble and humble, and I am really sorry that I couldn't help you. Don't worry, I will try my best to help you avenge you." Tian Kui also said.
"Unexpectedly, you still have your heart." Lu Zhong nodded, "My lord, after I leave, if there is no one around you to use, you might as well promote him."
When Tian Kui heard this, his heart skipped a beat.
Wang Tianhe glanced at him, but didn't speak.
