Straight man of steel

Chapter 412
Zhang Yuan didn't go to Liu Che for an explanation the first time Taixue transferred Li Jiao to Tingwei's Mansion.

He wanted to see Liu Che's opinion on this matter first.

In any case, Li Jiao still stabbed a few people. In an era when the level of medical care was close to zero, it was easy to die from external or internal injuries.

Even if there is no vital injury, an infected wound can kill a person.

At this time, the birch sap that Zhang Yuan obtained in Yangshan before can play a very important role.

In order to preserve the birch sap, Zhang Yuan spent a lot of effort.

First put it in a sealed container, then put a layer of airtight sheepskin on the side of the birch sap that comes into contact with the air, and then fill it with water.

Finally, taking advantage of the sudden drop in temperature at that time, the ice froze the water on the surface.

Fortunately, the freezing point of birch sap is slightly lower, but Zhang Yuan can't figure it out, after all, it is a relatively viscous liquid.

After being shipped back, it has been stored in the refrigerator.

Even if doing so may affect the efficacy of the medicine, Zhang Yuan has no choice but to transplant tree species is obviously more troublesome.

At this time, the preserved birch sap played a role. After the wounds of the injured officials were sutured, birch sap was applied to the wounds of those officials every day.

There was no sign of inflammation, and their wounds slowly healed.

Not dead is also a good thing for Li Jiao.

The murderer has to pay with his life, and if the Li family has money to pay the fine, they will also be demoted to common people.

In this way, the top figures of the Patriarch's line were all knocked down to the bottom of the valley, and it was difficult for the clansmen in the side branches to not let go of their perverted thoughts.

After all, whoever controls the Li family will be able to use the relationships and power inherited from the family for hundreds of years.

A few days after logging in, news came from Tingwei Mansion that Li Jiao had paid the fine and had not received any other punishment.

The fine is only [-] yuan, which may be a lot for ordinary people.

But for a big family, and for an official with two thousand shi, it is only a one-year salary.

When Guo Xie entered Guanzhong, he received tens of millions of dollars as gifts. Zhang Yuan could even boast that the money in his family was at least tens of millions, not to mention other gold and silver treasures.

They didn't take this matter seriously at all, and asked to pay a fine of [-] yuan just to perfunctory Zhang Yuan and Taixue.

"Tai Xueling, I thought we couldn't let Li Jiao go.

You see, now that he has gone to Wuyuan County to take office, we may have to worry about it all the time in the future.

That man is a lunatic. "

After knowing the news, the most angry person was King Wuqiu Shou.

He simply couldn't figure out what this was for.

Zhang Yuan figured it out, this is probably another trick used by big men.

Li Jiao's family entered Taixue because of his father. This filial piety moved the heavens and moved the officials who tried the case.

Moreover, the Li family in Longxi is not an ordinary person, so the trial of cases naturally emphasizes affection rather than law.

Zhang Yuan had no face inside and outside the court. Who would talk to Zhang Yuan about his feelings? And the most important thing is that during the trial, Zhang Yuan did not even go to Chang'an.

Although Li Guang was demoted to a commoner, he has always been in charge of Chang'an City.

Have you ever seen an ordinary person go in and out of Tingwei's Mansion and Jianzhang Palace casually? It is understandable that they are biased towards Li Guang's side.

Whether it is the arena or the court, what matters is human relations and sophistication.

"It doesn't matter, anyway, I didn't think about going to the Li family in Longxi this time. There are still many opportunities for Fang Chang and everyone to meet in the future."

Zhang Yuan wanted to brush it off lightly, but he must have remembered this matter in his heart.

How could you suffer such a big loss and still act like nothing happened?

"I believe in Taixue Ling."

King Wuqiu Shou has a lot of knowledge about Zhang Yuan's black belly. In terms of playing tricks, no one in the Li family can play Zhang Yuan better.

Zhang Yuan didn't say anything to the outside world. In short, inside Taixue and the outside world, it was assumed that Zhang Yuan had swallowed this bad breath.

The competition between the Longxi Li family and Zhang Yuan was also a one-on-one match.

But just when everyone thought it was over.

Zhang Yuan went to Chang'an.

In the front hall of Jianzhang Palace, Zhang Yuan stood up holding the board in both hands at the meeting.

"Your Majesty, I have something to tell you."

As soon as Zhang Yuan stood up, the ministers in the palace were all excited, they all knew about the grievances between Zhang Yuan and Li Guang.

Zhang Yuan, who has never spoken much in front of outsiders, entered the palace at this time, and everyone subconsciously thought that he was coming to discuss an explanation.

Liu Che suddenly became nervous, and logically, the punishment for Li Jiao was light.

"The Marquis of Xin'an said it's all right."

The Marquises in this court are all in front of each other. Except for the three princes and the three concubines, the official positions of the Marquises must be lower than the titles.

Liu Che's title will also be changed to the one with a higher status to show respect.

"At first Li Jiao, the prefect of Wuyuan County, broke into my Taixue without any reason, and injured six officials of my Taixue.

One of them was disabled. How innocent these six people are. Although the Tingwei Mansion is acting in accordance with the law, if I also go to the Tingwei Mansion with a knife and chop several officials, can I also give him a hundred thousand yuan? What happened? "

"Oh? Are you here for accountability?"

“I don’t dare, but I think it’s a little biased.

In the Xiongnu, anyone who draws a sword and intentionally harms others will be sentenced to death.

Earlier, I, a big man, had many cases where anyone who entered someone else's private house with a weapon and injured someone should also be punished with a felony.

According to the law, anyone who intentionally hurts a lieutenant should be sentenced to death.

Although it can be paid to pay for crimes, isn't [-] yuan a joke?

Is there any precedent of imposing a fine of [-] yuan before? "

Liu Che frowned, he didn't know what to say, the handling of this matter was completely on Li Guang's side.

And it was only after Liu Che's instruction that the Tingwei Mansion dared to deal with it like this.

Liu Che didn't want Zhang Yuan to keep suppressing the Li family, so balancing both sides was the way to be emperor. This was also a blow to Zhang Yuan.

But according to common sense, Zhang Yuan should be a man with his tail between his legs at this time.

"Wei Ting, did you hear what Marquis Xin'an said!

How did you handle this matter? "

The old guy Zhai Gong stood up slowly from his seat and walked to Zhang Yuan's side, as if this matter had nothing to do with him.

"Reporting to Your Majesty, this matter was mishandled by the old minister.

I also ask your Majesty and Marquis Xin'an to forgive me. After the old minister returns, he will definitely call Li Jiao, the prefect of Wuyuan County, back to Beijing for questioning, and then deal with it. "

Wori, you fairy board board!

What an old fritter, Zhang Yuan has never seen a civil servant who can recall a general from the border without the emperor's warrant.

If Li Jiao's border defense is in danger, he can shut everyone's mouths to death.

"I think this move is very appropriate. I wonder if Marquis Xin'an is satisfied with it?"

If one person is a good person and the other is a bad person, Zhang Yuan still has ways to deal with it, even Liu Che.

But now both of them are singing red faces. On the surface, what they say is based on Zhang Yuan's mood, but in fact they have needles in their hearts.

Liu Che's tone seemed gentle, but Zhang Yuan couldn't refuse.

"I am very satisfied.

However, I think it is one thing to deal with Li Jiao, the governor of Wuyuan County. In addition, we should also consider the six innocent injured people. "

"Xin'anhou, what do you mean?"

"Your Majesty, Prince Qiu Shou, the Prime Minister of Taixue, suffered internal injuries because of this incident.

There are more and more things about Taixue, and he may not be qualified for the post of Taixuecheng.

The usual work in the Yushi doctor's mansion is relatively leisurely, and the minister thinks that King Wuqiu Shou can be transferred to the Yushi doctor's mansion to work under the Yushi doctor's mansion.

As for the other injured officials, they can also be transferred to more idle places such as the Daxing Lingfu or the eunuchs. "

There were so many people with the same name that Zhang Yuan did not dare to call out Zhang Ou's name directly.

There are only twelve people in Sangong and Jiuqing. You can believe that there are two named Zhang Ou.

Fortunately, they both hold high positions, and when dealing with them on weekdays, they either have titles or official positions. Otherwise, it would be really awkward to be officials in the same palace.

"Marquis Xin'an is teaching me how to do things?"

The hall was suddenly silent, and Zhang Yuan trembled a few times in his heart.

"I dare not."

"But I think you are teaching me how to do things."

"Your Majesty must have misunderstood."

"Did I misunderstand it? Marquis Xin'an, if you say so, then that's it.

Pass down my oral order to appoint Taixue Chengwu Qiushou Wang as the censor, and the rest of the people will go to the Daxinglingfu to make a pedestrian order. "

Although Liu Che has now followed Zhang Yuan's wishes, no one in the court thinks that this is Zhang Yuan's intention. On the contrary, everyone thinks that Liu Che originally thought so.

At this moment, it is estimated that the hearts of those in Taixue are also grateful to Liu Che, after all, Zhang Yuan was cowardly at the critical moment.

In the game between monarch and ministers, in the end, only the ministers will be frightened.

"Your Majesty is wise."

"Young masters, do you have anything else to discuss today? If not, just leave."

Liu Che also looked a little tired, so everyone dispersed wisely.

As soon as Zhang Yuan walked to the entrance of the main hall and put on his boots, Duke Zhai followed him, and he even pulled Wei Qing over.

"Marquis of Xin'an."

"Lieutenant Ting."

"Marquis Xin'an, I am already old, and in my later years I just want to not suffer any setbacks again.

I also hope that Hou Xin'an can understand the old man, and if he has time in the future, he will come to Du County to make amends. "

Wei Qing was also a little nervous, and continued to persuade.

"Brother Yuan, Duke Zhai is indeed getting old, and this life is also full of ups and downs.

I can't blame him for this matter. I also know that you have been wronged this time, but now the people of Wuqiu Shouwang have also been compensated? "

What else can Zhang Yuan say, he can only smile wryly.

In the end, everyone in Chang'an probably felt that Zhang Yuan was a man who would take revenge by nature.

But what if you don't want to be revenged? Can hatred be forgotten?
Whoever forgets is a fool.

But there are targets for revenge, isn't Zhang Yuan foolish enough to provoke innocent people and add a few more enemies to himself?
Now Wei Qing feels that Zhang Yuan's mind is not as broad-minded as before.

Zhang Yuan really wanted to explain, there was no way to be broad-minded in the past, there were too many people who could kill him by a big man, so he had to be careful when walking out.

But now there are only a handful of people who can kill him, so just keep an eye on those people, and don't need to pay too much attention to words and deeds.

So revenge must be avenged, in fact, Zhang Yuan didn't want to let himself live with his head down.

It was already very humiliating to be reborn under Liu Che's hands, and it would be even more humiliating to have to live by the faces of Li Guang and others.

"Gong Zhai, Younger Brother, although I, Zhang Yuan, do anything to my enemies, they provoked me first.

When did I not understand the truth?If I was so vengeful, I could have dealt with Li Jiao by myself in Taixue.

Your Majesty can only blame me a few words, let Li Jiao go to the Tingwei Mansion in order to let him live.

It's just that I didn't expect the court to let it go so hastily. I wanted to ask for an explanation, not to ask Duke Zhai for an explanation.

You can sit in this position with peace of mind. There is no enmity between me and you. "

Being able to explain so much, Zhang Yuan is really looking at Wei Qing's face.

Zhang Yuan didn't have a good relationship with this group of people, but Wei Qing was really a nice guy everywhere.

"Tai Xueling's heart is admirable. Since this is the case, I will not bother Da Sima and Tai Xueling."

Zhai Gong immediately put oil on the soles of his feet and left, otherwise Zhang Yuan really wanted to beat this guy up and see if he could vomit blood with two punches.

"Look who are these people?"

"Brother Yuan, forgive me, it's the same in court now.

Everyone lives in the cracks, and if you are tactful and sophisticated, you can survive longer.

The water chestnut is too sharp, and eventually it is either ground or crushed. "

"I admit that what you said makes sense, but when others ride on my neck and shit and pee, how can I bear it?

If Li Guang targets me directly, I won't say anything, but look at what he is doing in human affairs?

If it were you, you might keep silent when Li Guang humiliates you, but if he humiliates the people around you, or even kills the people around you, how can you still sit upright at home? "

"Brother Yuan, you just took it for granted that the two students Li Guang killed were all people who had disputes with him.

Disobeying the general's orders in the army is a normal outcome. Although Li Guang had selfish motives, he was practicing public law. "

"Li Guang practiced the public law? Then the punishment of Li Jiao by the Tingwei Mansion is also the public law?

Since the public law is like this, I have to find an opportunity to break into various subordinate agencies of the imperial court and chop a few people for no reason.

With my current net worth, there is no pressure to cut down a thousand or eight hundred people. "

"Brother Yuan, you are making trouble for no reason."

"It's what you say it is.

Young brother, according to your personality, you will suffer sooner or later.

Now His Majesty favors you, if one day in the future, His Majesty will no longer trust you.

You already know the people around you. Couldn't Guo Xie's incident remind you?

I don't tell you what the Lord Father Yan did some time ago, you should know, meddling in the private affairs of the princes and kings, putting the princes and kings at risk.

He really thought he was the second in the world?This person is so arrogant, didn't you strongly recommend him to His Majesty back then.

If there are still people who remember these things, those princes and kings will not bear their grudges together with you. "

"Ahem, Marquis Xin'an, the servant is still here."

Zhang Yuan turned his head and saw that Ma De's father, the wretched batch, had been standing beside him all the time.

But Zhang Yuan didn't care. Since he had already broken his skin, he didn't care what else he did.

"If your throat feels uncomfortable, just say less.

Are you afraid of infecting others if you cough here? "

This time it was the master's turn to be dumbfounded. He lowered his head and left without saying a word. He was still complaining in his heart that he was bored and had nothing to talk to Zhang Yuan.
