The eldest son of the red mansion

After Wang Tao heard his words, his face was already flushed, and there was no trace of decadence just now.Listening to Gao Hong asking him now, he immediately said: "That's right, that's the way it is. This Xu Hu has committed a heinous crime. If you don't kill him, you won't be angry with the common people, and if you don't kill him, you won't be able to report to the court. How can my subordinates allow such a person to exist?" Tomorrow, I will gather generals in the lobby, and I will execute him on the same day as an example to others."

Seeing that Wang Tao was so excited, Gao Hong couldn't help pouring cold water on him: "Although my lord escaped this catastrophe for the time being, after all, I hated the Jia family. From now on, I should be careful and don't let them take advantage of it again. Otherwise, my lord will think that this matter Is it really over?"

Hearing Gao Hong's words, Wang Tao felt a little fussy.Now that the three aspects are properly arranged, there will be no troubles in the future. If the plan can be implemented smoothly, it will be a blessing in disguise. It would be great to have a relationship with Prince Teng Wang, the prince of the Jingying Jiedu.

Gao Hong looked at Wang Tao's optimistic expression, and didn't know what to say about him. Wang Tao was very cautious when he was young, but how did he become like this now.Don't you know that people's hearts are sinister, you almost killed Jia Ke, do you really think that if you promote him to an official, he will write off all the previous things, let alone say that this official is what you deserve .

But Gao Hong is not good at dampening Wang Tao's enthusiasm now, so he can only take one step at a time.Then he and Wang Tao agreed on how to get Xu Hu to take the blame.And that night, Gao Hong secretly imitated the report letter and Wang Tao's several memorials to the capital, and the time of inscription was different in turn.At that time, these will be Xu Hu's incriminating evidence.

Chapter 113

Wang Tao and Gao Hong discussed one matter properly, and all the evidence of planting crimes was fully arranged.Don't dare to waste any more time.Ready to start the next day.

In the early morning of the next day, Wang Tao was promoted to the hall in Jiedushifu, ordering that all civil and military personnel in Xuanfu town must participate.

During this period of time, Xuanfu Town was heavily guarded, fearing that the Tatars would break through Kaipingwei, and then invade all the way south to Xuanfu Town, but two or three months have passed, and the weather has turned cold.Still no Tatars went south, and when everyone was breathing a sigh of relief, the Jiedushi suddenly summoned the crowd, which made the people's hearts rise in their throats again.Could it be that something happened?Kaipingwei has been breached, and the Tatars are about to go south?

In the lobby of the Jiedu Envoy, everyone stood in two shifts, each with solemn expressions, waiting for the arrival of Jiedu Envoy Wang Tao.

Among them, Xu Hu, the magistrate of Xuanfu Town, has been muttering in his heart for the past few days, always feeling a little terrified, thinking that Jia Ke might be in trouble if he doesn't die, why is Jia Ke so hard-working?It was able to persist for three months under the attack of the Tatars.Based on this point, he still recognized Jia Ke's ability. Sometimes Xu Hu also thought, if Jia Ke hadn't killed his brother-in-law, he could still make friends with Jia Ke's ability, but it's a pity that the two sides are already in the same situation. .

Everyone was in the lobby, waiting for Wang Tao on the left, and the Jiedushi on the right, it was almost noon, and everyone was upset, but the Jiedushi was ordered, and they didn't dare to leave, so they could only continue there. wait.

Seeing that Weishi (13:15 to [-]:[-]) was about to pass, everyone was going to ask the servants in Jiedushi's mansion to ask what was going on?

Suddenly saw a group of officers and soldiers entering outside, each holding sharp knives, and surrounded the hall tightly, everyone was amazed to see this scene.

At this time, Jiedu envoy Wang Tao came in from the outside, followed by Gao Hong, the military sacrificial wine. Seeing Wang Tao coming in, all the civil and military officials hurried forward to salute, but Wang Tao ignored them.Instead, he walked towards the tiger leather chair in the middle with a tiger's face, sat in the middle and looked down.

When everyone was seen by him, they couldn't help being smart.He Tong, the commander among them, has already seen the clues at this time. I am afraid that something happened to someone, but he does not know who will be unlucky. The most likely one is Xu Hu, because he calculated that the time is almost up. At that time, Wang Tao hadn't taken any measures. When Kaipingwei cleared the siege and Jia Ke took action, it would be too late for Wang Tao to take any action.

The Jiedushi Wang Tao looked around, and then said: "I am always kind to you, and I hope that you will enforce the law impartially and do your best for the court and the emperor. But there are some of you who not only avenge private revenge, but also act recklessly. Do you know what kind of crime this is if you dare to withhold the memorial to the imperial court without permission? Now that there is a war ahead, there are people restraining them in the rear, and I am not afraid that the imperial court and me, the Jiedu envoy, will look at them."

The people below were all taken aback when they heard Wang Tao say that. They didn't expect someone to have such courage.He even dared to seize the memorial of Jiedu envoy.

Hearing the discussions below, Wang Tao couldn't help showing anger on his face, and said to the following: "Who did it, come out and admit it. I see it for the sake of being a minister in the same palace, so I will let him go to the court to plead guilty." Zhezi, you can defend yourself. Otherwise, don’t blame me for being ruthless.”

All the civil and military people in the lobby, you look at me, I look at you, but no one came out to admit it.And Xu Humo, who was standing below, trembled for no reason.

Seeing this situation, Jiedushi Wang Tao seemed to be very angry. He patted the table in front of him and said loudly: "Since no one admits it, don't blame me for being rude. Come on, let the prefect of Xuanfu Town Xu Hu take it for me."

As soon as Wang Tao finished speaking, four or five wolf-like soldiers broke into the lobby. Xu Hu hadn't reacted yet, what was going on?Someone knocked off his official hat, took off his official robe, and then tied it tightly.

The group of soldiers tied Xu Hu, pulled him to the center and pressed him to the ground.

It was only at this time that Xu Hu realized that the person Wang Tao said was the one who withheld the memorial privately was himself.Although I was sent by the emperor to monitor Jiedu envoy Wang Tao, no matter how courageous I was, I would not dare to detain Wang Tao's memorial to the emperor. There must be some misunderstanding in this.

At this time, Xu Hu could no longer care about etiquette, knelt down and shouted loudly to the top: "I am wronged, I am wronged, please be aware, my lord, no matter how brave I am, I will not dare to detain your memorial. "

The Jiedu envoy Wang Tao slapped the table and shouted at him: "At this time, you still refuse to admit your debts. You really don't repent. You and Jia Ke, Kaiping Weidai Qianhu, held a grudge against him because of personal enmity, and stopped me several times from sending reinforcements. Kaipingwei later detained my memorial to the court for instructions. What else are you afraid to do?"

After Xu Hu heard his words, his eyes were wide open, and he looked at Jiedu envoy Wang Tao. If he didn't know at this time, Wang Tao was setting him up and making him an official for so many years.

Xu Hu didn't beg for mercy at this time, but yelled angrily at Wang Tao: "Wang Tao, you framed Zhongliang. It was obvious that you were greedy for life and afraid of death, and dared not send troops, but now you pushed it on me. I must join the emperor. You have a copy, you have no evidence, no proof, and no proof, so why should I say that I am detaining your memorial."

Wang Tao looked at him with a sneer and said, "I knew for a long time that you were going to lie and refuse to admit it. I just ransacked your house just now, and not only did I find it, but also the letters you had with the former master Kaipingwei, in which you embezzled The evidence of the military salary, I also found my memorial from your house. There are also several 10 taels of silver in your house. Even if you have been an official for 100 years, you can’t save so much money. These are the evidences of your corruption and breaking the law .Gao Hong, show him something."

Gao Hong came over at this time, sent several letters, and showed him four or five memorials. Xu Hu knew it was true when he saw the letters, but he had never seen these memorials.

At this time, the whole street was full of people in the lobby, this Xu Hu was really brave, he would do anything to frame Jia Ke.Even the memorials of Jiedushi were seized.

Xu Hu didn't know at this time that this was Wang Tao, and he wanted to push all the responsibilities to him.Otherwise, Wang Tao will definitely die if he conceals the military situation for three months.

Xu Hu thought in her heart, just be patient for now.The trial of this case should be Dali Temple or the Ministry of Criminal Justice. At that time, he will retract his confession and reveal all these things, so that Wang Tao will die without a place to bury him.

So when he saw these letters and memorials, he was silent.He didn't say a word, thinking that Wang Tao must never get a confession.

Seeing that Xu Hu was silent, Wang Tao glanced at Gao Hong next to him.

Gao Hong immediately understood what Wang Tao meant, and said loudly to Xu Hu, "How is it? You have nothing to say, right? What you have done should be cut to death because of your selfishness. Zhao How many brothers in Kaiping died under the sword of the Tatars."

Xu Hu stared at Gao Hong with red eyes and said: "Justice is in the hearts of the people. You have fabricated evidence to frame me. Do you really think that the princes in the court are all fools? Then I will see how you end up."

Gao Hong didn't argue with him, but turned around, cupped his hands and said to Wang Tao: "A shameless person like your lord, even with solid evidence, still refuses to repent, speaks nonsense, tries to quibble and slanders you , If such a person does not severely punish my lord, why will he join the army in the future? Please make a decision immediately, my lord, and march to rectify the universe."

Chapter 114 Suicide in fear of sin

At this time, Jiedushi Wang Tao's eyes were red, and he gritted his teeth and said: "Xu Hu, as a magistrate, doesn't want to report to the king and go down to Anlishu. I will report to the emperor, and the emperor will make a decision."

The soldiers below immediately dragged Xu Hu out, but Xu Hu shouted unwillingly: "Wang Tao, you framed me, and I will die. Don't forget that I am a second-ranked Jinshi. When I enter Beijing, I must be in Beijing." In front of the emperor, I will take a good look at you."

And Wang Tao looked at him coldly from above, as if he was looking at a dead person, without any expression.

After Xu Hu was dragged out, Wang Tao said to the people below: "Today's incident is a lesson for you, and you must not violate the king's law in the future. Otherwise, I will not be able to protect you at that time."

All the officials below were frightened by what happened today, then Xu Hu is considered to be the most powerful in Xuanfu Town, and Wang Tao said he won it today.Therefore, the awe of Wang Tao is even heavier.

Wang Tao looked at the expressions of all the civil and military officials in the hall, guessed their thoughts almost, and couldn't help feeling proud.This trick of mine kills three birds with one stone.Not only did he pass the crime on to others, but also he was able to open up the relationship with Prince Teng Wang, and deter these people under his command.Sure enough, he was still as wise and powerful as before.Thinking about it, I couldn't help but smile.

Seeing that the matter was almost done, Wang Tao said solemnly to the people below: "That's the end of today's matter. When you go back, think about what can be done and what can't be done. Otherwise, Wang Fa will be ruthless. "

After Wang Tao finished speaking, the hall left, and all the civil and military officials walked out in twos and threes, each one trembling with fear.Thinking about his violations of law and discipline on weekdays, if the Lord Jiedu finds out, I'm afraid he won't be able to eat and walk around.

Among these people, only He Tong looked calm and calm, as if nothing had happened.

Just as He Tong was about to get on his horse, someone beside him held him back.He Tong looked back, who else could there be besides Wang Wei?I saw Wang Wei looking around with a sly eyebrow.Then he pulled him and said: "Brother He, I don't understand what happened today, let's find a place to have a drink or two, and you can tell my brother well."

If it was someone else, He Tongli wouldn't bother, but Wang Wei was different. Since Wang Wei wanted to invite him to a drink, he couldn't shirk it.

So the two didn't go to any big hotel, they asked for a private room in a nearby tavern, ordered a few random dishes, and drank slowly.

After drinking a few glasses of wine, Wang Wei said to He Tong: "Brother He, I understand half of what happened today, and I don't understand the other half. Tell me about it."

He Tong didn't look at it, but just stared at the wine glass, and said softly: "Is there anything I don't understand, but our Master Jiedu Envoy has already recollected it, and this is looking for compensation."

Wang Wei also said in amazement: "Master Jiedushi, this is abandoning the car to protect the handsome man, but do you think the memorial is real or fake?"

He Tong said disdainfully: "Jiedushi said it is true, so it is true."

Hearing He Tong's words, Wang Wei sighed and said: "Master Jiedu, this trick is really good. I'm afraid it has already been done in the capital, and Xu Hu can't do anything when he arrives in the capital."

He Tong was silent for a long time, then stood up and walked out, saying as he walked, "I've said almost everything I need to say, I'll go back soon, or my tigress will settle with me again."

Wang Wei should hurry up and send him out.He Tong walked to the door of the elegant room, stopped suddenly, turned around and said to Wang Wei: "Don't run to the Jiedushi's mansion in the future, our Jiedushi is really powerful, but also really stupid. But I have offended a lot of drifters, so I won’t sit here for long.”

Hearing what he said, Wang Wei was inexplicable, so he hurriedly held him back and refused to let him go, "Brother He, explain clearly, what's going on? I know that brothers are far behind you in this respect, so don't let me Mistake."

He Tong lowered his head and thought for a while, and then said solemnly: "Xu Hu will undoubtedly die tonight, but our Lord Jiedu Envoy offended the Sage Kong."
