Rebirth of the Tang Dynasty's strongest consort

Chapter 442
In the Daotai yamen and the inner yamen, the eldest grandson Anye paced back and forth anxiously, looking at Cai Shaobing who was enjoying tea leisurely, and couldn't help himself for a while.

"Hey, are you still in the mood to drink tea?" Changsun Anye snorted coldly and sighed, "Since Fan Jin never left the city, why can't he be found in Caozhou?"

"Fang Jun is notoriously a stabbing head, even Wansui today dares to be coaxed. If he finds out that we sent Xie Yaohuan to prison, we will have a falling out."

After two calls in succession, Cai Shaobing just bowed his head and sipped his tea, his eyes moved up to his eldest grandson Anye, thinking: "This man is so old, why is he so scheming? It's hard to do!"

The eldest grandson Anye naturally didn't know what Cai Shaobing was thinking. Seeing his brother's confidant responding silently, his heart surged up immediately, he slapped the table angrily, and said loudly: "You also have a part in this matter. If Fang Jun returns to Caozhou, new hatred and old hatred, I'm afraid you kid won't survive!"

"Why should the governor be like this?" Seeing that the eldest grandson Anye was angry, Cai Shaobing put down the teacup, cupped his hands and said, "Why did the governor send people to burn down the government office and steal the magistrate's seal?"

"The purpose is to destroy the accounts!" Seeing that Cai Shaobing asked the question knowingly, the eldest grandson Anye snorted discouragedly, looked outside the door, and whispered: "Xie Yaohuan has been in the study for half a month to check the accounts. If she finds out the clues, I will The fact that the officials made a false report about the disaster is going to be made public!"

"Forgive me for your boldness, may I ask how much the governor has falsely reported the disaster situation? How much disaster relief funds have been withheld?"

"Falsely reported as much as half, and deducted more than [-] taels of money." Halfway through the sentence, the eldest grandson Anye was furious, pointed at Cai Shaobing and shouted loudly, "The surname is Cai! You are my brother's confidant, what do you mean? You Are you going to expose this official?"

Faced with the eldest grandson Anye's angry reprimand, Cai Shaobing chuckled and said in a low voice: "Since this matter is so serious, does the governor still want Xie Yaohuan to live?"

"Live? She will definitely die this time!" The eldest grandson Anye gritted his molars, his eyes glaring coldly, "This girl has some tricks. If she is asked to meet Fang Jun alive, the black yarn on my head will Are you going to lose it?"

"The governor is determined to kill Xie Yaohuan?"

"Of course there is!"

After being confirmed by the eldest grandson Anye, Cai Shaobing smiled treacherously, and said sinisterly: "In this case, why should the governor pay attention to Fan Jin, a poor scholar? As long as Xie Yaohuan is beaten into a trick, tied up in the court and beheaded, Fang Jun will find out afterwards that it will be difficult." Do you want to go to the underworld to confront him?"

"But Fan Jin escaped, and I always feel a little guilty." The melancholy on the face of Changsun Anye mostly disappeared, and he sat slowly on the wooden chair and murmured.

Cai Shaobing personally poured tea for the eldest grandson Anye, and said with a smile: "Fan Jin is so poor that he may not be able to get out of Caozhou City. If he really gets out of Caozhou, it will take more than half a month to go to Chang'an. During this time, the governor is afraid that Xie Yaohuan will be killed. exist?"

"It's just that she is the magistrate of Caozhou personally appointed by Long Live. If there is no crime written by her own hand, it may be difficult to convince the public with just a piece of paper."

"No matter how talented Xie Yaohuan is, Gao Zhiguang, in the end, she is nothing more than a girl. The student will go to prison for execution, even if she refuses to recruit if she dies!"

"Okay, okay, don't hurt her life! In the future, I have to ask her to write the crime in her own hand!"

Saying goodbye in a hurry, Cai Shaobing went straight to the Daotai Yamen Prison, Changsun Anye's worries were dismissed, and he immediately returned to his nature of drinking and drinking.

At the same time, Fan Jin had already driven his horse for more than a hundred miles, changing horses every fifty miles along the way, and went to the post office to pretend to be the master of the prefect of Caozhou. After reading the official seal presented by Fan Jin, he prepared the meals for the horses.

Fan Jin, who used to be able to dawdle for more than half an hour with a steamed bun, now swallowed his meal in three or two mouthfuls, put away the official seal of Caozhou magistrate that Fang Yiai had given him before, and the old scholar jumped onto the horse barefoot and started again. He rushed towards Chang'an.

"It's still Ming Gong who is a prophet who knew about Cai's calamity and gave me a piece of official rice paper in advance. Otherwise, I'm afraid this posthouse would be unbelievable."

Thousands of miles away, Fang Yiai, who was sitting drinking tea in the Huating Pavilion of the Zhuangyuan Mansion, sneezed for no reason.

"Ah Choo." Rubbing the tip of her nose, Fang Yiai murmured, "Who is scolding and thinking about me?"

Gao Yang held a plate of fennel beans, looked at Fang Yiai, and said slightly complaining: "I don't know which sister from the shop."

Choked by his wife's words, Fang Yiai was about to open his mouth to argue, but Qin Jingniang, who was sitting by the side, couldn't help but "giggle" and laughed.

"What are you laughing at!" Fang Yi'ai flicked her sleeves and snorted softly, and took advantage of the opportunity to pinch Qin Jingniang's waist, "It's only been a few days since I've been here? She was taken away by Shu'er!"

"Hmph! It's not Shu'er who spoiled Jingniang, it's clearly what people want!" Gao Yang complained, stretched out his green fingers, picked up a fennel bean, and put it into Fang Yiai's mouth.

Fang Yiai frowned slightly as she looked at the lotus in the pond, and whispered, "I don't know how Yaohuan is doing in Caozhou. I've always been restless these days, don't let something go wrong!"

"Sister Yaohuan is resourceful, and besides, Master Fan is helping her, so it shouldn't be a problem?" Qin Jingniang muttered.

Fang Yiai frowned, shook her head and said, "Although Huan'er and Fan Shiye are thoughtful, it's easy to hide a hidden arrow and it's hard to defend against it. If Cai Shaobing colludes with the eldest grandson Anye to cause trouble, I'm afraid they will be hard-pressed to fight."

"Brother Jun'er, if you are worried, you can send someone to take a look." Gao Yang pouted.

"Who are you going to send? The mansion's servant? Or Mei Xiang?" Fang Yiai smiled wryly, temporarily put aside her thoughts, and said, "I'll go to the study to practice calligraphy, you two don't argue."

"Damn it, who would argue."

"That's right, sister Jingniang and I won't bicker."

Because at that time he was the general judge in Caozhou, and the officials sent out had no purpose not to attend court meetings, Fang Yiai was on the contrary happy and leisurely, entertaining guests during the day and visiting relatives and friends at night. The comfortable life made him forget Xie Yaohuan who was far away in Caozhou.

For ten days in a row, while Fang Yiai was waiting for Li Shimin's personal conquest, Fan Jin traveled day and night, eating and sleeping all the way. Speaking of hard work, it was a thousand times stronger than Xie Yaohuan who was tortured.

"Having passed out? Go get water from the well!"

Cai Shaobing sat in the middle of the execution room, looking at Xie Yaohuan who was lying unconscious on the ground, and said with a smirk: "Fang Jun, did you see it? Your woman is being tortured, and the one who executes it is my official! I can't help you, don't tell me I don't even have a woman who doesn't have any Is there a way?"

When the jailer woke Xie Yaohuan up, Cai Shaobing said again: "Xie Yaohuan, will you recruit him or not? So as not to suffer!"

"What did you ask me to recruit?" Xie Yaohuan struggled to stand up and looked at Cai Shaobing, wishing to eat his flesh raw.

"Having an affair with Turkic people, plotting against the imperial court! Let me ask you, why did the magistrate's seal disappear for no reason?" Cai Shaobing sneered, completely ignoring Xie Yaohuan's eyes that were shining with cold light.

"The government office caught fire, and the great seal was lost." Xie Yaohuan paused for a moment, then asked sharply, "I should ask you and grandson Anye!"

"Bah! You still dare to argue even now, if you don't want a big punishment, I forgive you for not prosecuting!" As he said, Cai Shaobing was about to order someone to execute him, but Xie Yaohuan stopped him.

"You don't need to execute the execution, I'll kill you with my head!" With the words out of his lips, Xie Yaohuan strode forward, and bumped into the corner of the case in front of Cai Shaobing.

"Stop her quickly!" Cai Shaobing yelled, and when the jailer grabbed Xie Yaohuan, cold sweat streamed down the cruel official's forehead in an instant, "Okay! Have a backbone! Take her back to the cell first! Take care of her, food, gold sore medicine , The clothes must be delivered, don't let her die!"

For ten days in a row, no matter how much Cai Shaobing tortured, Xie Yaohuan didn't say a word, not to mention the handwritten confession, even the few remaining few mouths were used to scold Cai Shaobing.

When the jailer brought Xie Yaohuan back to the prison, Cai Shaobing sat down on the wooden chair as if discouraged, and murmured: "This woman can be called a heroine! The punishments of this officer, even the generals in the army, can't bear it, but I didn't expect her He took it all without saying a word."

"If I don't get the painting confession this time, how can Fang Jun give up with me when he comes back? Now that painting tigers is not an anti-dog, what should I do?"

"Oh yes! It's better to ask someone to write a picture confession, then tie Xie Yaohuan to the execution ground, and the head will be done once and for all!"

After making up his mind, Cai Shaobing flashed a cold light in his eyes, touched his chin and said, "Cut the grass to get rid of the roots, that's my idea! Come on! Find some subordinates who are good at writing pictures!"
