Kingdom of Heaven and Han

Chapter 499
After receiving the report, Chen Qiudao hurried to the living room.Seeing that the Xiangyang judge was sitting there, he came forward to ask for an interrogation.

Yao Hua saluted after signing the sentence.Said: "Today's disturbing the consultation, there is a reason for the matter, so don't blame the consultation."

Seeing Yao Hua's solemn expression, Chen Yuyi didn't dare to neglect, and hastily ordered tea to be served, and invited Yao Hua to take a seat at the guest seat.

After tea was served, Chen Qiudao said, "I'm taking a rest today, and the sentence is signed at my house. I wonder what's the matter? If there is business, can't I wait a day?"

Yao Hua pondered for a while, then said: "This morning, there was a dispute in the southern industrial area. Xu Qi, a member of the opening party, suddenly ran to the inspection department there and said that the two people behind him were chasing gambling. Debt. Last night, because he was coaxed by someone, he went to a gambling boat on the Han River and lost [-] coins overnight on the boat. The money he brought was not enough, so he wrote down an IOU. The name of the IOU refers to eating on the boat. One meal. Even drinking and food, plus rewards for singing girls, the total is [-] yuan."

Chen Qiudao couldn't help shaking his head when he heard this.Said: "Although the painting boats on the Han River are expensive, it is obviously wrong to say that they spent [-] guan in one night. Who would dare to believe him if he is so open-eyed and deceiving?"

Yao Hua nodded: "The councilor said it was right. The inspection there also felt that it was wrong, and guessed that it might really be a gambling debt. Two thousand and nine hundred yuan a night, this case is not a small one. Immediately arrested the person and sent it to Xiangyang County After interrogation in Xiangyang County, I didn't expect that there would be a big person behind. The small county government didn't dare to call the shots, so it was sent to the mansion. I asked the palace recorder and I, so I came to the mansion—"

Hearing this, Chen Qiudao felt something was wrong.Shen Sheng asked: "Is this gambling case related to my family?"

Yao Hua nodded: "Zheng Yiren, the official of your house, is one of the bosses of the gambling boat."

Looking at Yao Hua, Chen Qiudao didn't speak for a long time.After a while, he said: "Is this true? Since I was in Kaifeng Mansion, Zheng Yiren has been by my side for many years. He has always done things prudently, so he won't make such a big mistake, right?"

Yao Hua said: "Now there is only a confession. I have no choice but to come to the mansion in person, hoping to bring Zheng Yiren to justice."

Looking at Yao Hua's appearance, Chen Qiudao understood that Zheng Yihui might not be able to escape the responsibility.There were so many times in my heart that I didn't know what to do for a while.After a while, he said: "It's just that Zheng Yiren is related to the case, and the rest of my family are not involved in it, right?"

Yao Hua said: "We will only know this after the trial."

Chen Qiudao nodded.Said: "Sign the verdict and wait. I'll go in and ask, and I'll send you out later."

Yao Hua said: "The counselor is my boss, so I naturally obey orders. However, the affairs of Xiangyang Mansion cannot be hidden from Jieshuai. I dare not hide it from Jieshuai. I have been waiting here for a long time. If Jieshuai gets news, it will be of great help to us. Neither is good."

"I understand." Chen Qiudao nodded, his face paled for a while.When he stood up, his foot slipped and he almost fell.

Back in the back hall, Chen Qiudao leaned back on the chair, closed his eyes and rested his mind for a while.Then he said to the people around him: "Let Zheng Yiren come to see me immediately!"

Not long after, a middle-aged man in his 40s came in.Seeing Chen Qiudao's pale face and his eyes staring at him like lightning, he was so frightened that he knelt down on the ground involuntarily.His whole body was like sifting chaff, shaking non-stop there.

Chen Qiudao asked in a deep voice: "Yao Zhipan from Xiangyang Mansion is sitting outside right now. He said that you were in accomplices with someone who was driving a gambling boat on the Han River. Now that something has happened, I want to bring you to the court. Tell me, this time Were you involved in the matter?"

Hearing that Chen Qiudao's tone was bad, Zheng Yiren kowtowed on the ground.

Chen Qiudao said: "Liulang, when I became an official, your father personally handed you over to me. These years of being a wandering official, you have suffered a lot by my side. But now, you have caused me misery! "

Having said that, Chen Qiudao patted the chair suddenly, with mixed emotions in his heart.

Zheng Yiren kowtowed repeatedly.Said: "It's the little one who is confused for a while, thinking that he can easily make some money and think about it for the rest of his life. Officials, the little one is always cautious in doing things. Those who lose money on the gambling boat are either businessmen or factory owners. Officials. In the eyes of the officials, what kind of big deal is this? Just tell Xiangyang Mansion not to investigate."

"Hehehe, what you said is so easy!" Chen Qiudao laughed angrily after hearing this. "I'm the counselor of the system, and you're right. I won't let the Xiangyang government investigate, so they can continue to investigate? But you forgot, I'm just a councilor! Who dares to hide the affairs of the Xiangyang government?" Handsome! Do you think Jie Shuai will pretend nothing happened?"

Having said that, Chen Qiudao stood up and walked back and forth several times.He suddenly turned around and asked, "I just want to ask you, who else is involved in my family besides you? Is there anyone involved in my sons?"

Zheng Yiren hurriedly said: "Officials, the small family members are all studying at ease, and no one is involved in this matter. Only a few servants who are familiar with me, who were greedy for money for a while, so, they did this together."

Chen Qiudao said: "Now that the incident has happened, there is no other way. You can go to Xiangyang Mansion to meet the officials. Don't worry, I will take good care of your family. It is all the righteousness of our master and servant these years. Don't think about other things, be honest. confession!"

After finishing speaking, Zheng Yiren, who kowtowed like garlic on the ground, walked out of the room quickly.Two healthy servants came in, grabbed Zheng Yiren, took him to the living room outside, and threw him on the ground.

Chen Qiudao clasped his hands to Yao Hua and said: "I asked just now, this rebellious servant actually participated in the boat gambling matter. Sign the judgment as soon as possible, take him away. There are also a few servants who participated, one by one. Send me to Xiangyang Mansion."

Yao Hua said: "Counselor, since I'm here, of course all the prisoners will be taken away together. Forgive me!"

Chen Qiudao sighed secretly, not saying anything, and ordered his family to find them all.Together with Zheng Yiren, Yao Hua led others into custody.Looking at it on the side, I feel mixed feelings in my heart.

After picking up the prisoner, Yao Hua said to Chen Qiudao, "I'm on official business, so I'll take my leave."

Looking at the backs of Yao Hua and others leaving, Chen Qiudao was a little lost for a while.I have been an official for many years, and I have always been diligent and conscientious. I never thought that this kind of thing would happen.As the head of civil affairs officials under Wang Xiaolie, how should we talk about this matter!
Back home, just had a few sips of tea.Suddenly, the family came to report, saying that the counselor Chen Yuyi had sent a post, asking Chen Qiudao to go to the envoy immediately.

Chen Qiudao suddenly remembered that Wang Xiaolie's rules were different from other places.Zheng Yiren is his servant, and it is not an ordinary employment relationship, but a relationship of living together and sharing property.With such a relationship, if Zheng Yiren committed a crime, how could he stay out of it?Now Chen Yuyi's duty is to supervise the officials, so what good can it be for him to set up the envoy?
