"Director Yu, you are welcome. Come and sit down." Zhang Tingyu raised his head and pointed to the seat opposite him.

Yu Gan was also not polite, walked over, sat down straight, and said apologetically, "Boy, if you disturb me, please forgive me, Mr. Zhang."

Zhang Tingyu shook his head with a smile, "Don't bother me, the old man is idle too."

As he said that, Zhang Tingyu poured Yu Gan a cup of tea, but he was not in a hurry to ask Yu Gan why he came here, looking leisurely.

Yu Gan took the tea with both hands, took a sip, pondered for a while, and then said directly, "Mr. Zhang, I came to see Mr. Zhang today. You actually need Mr. Zhang's help with something."

"Please tell me..." Zhang Tingyu obviously knew that Yu Gan would ask for something, so he nodded slightly.

"I don't know if Zhang Xiangke knows Lord Liu Jiangliu?" Yu Gan asked first.

"There should be only one old man named Liu Jiang in the court, if I remember correctly, Director Yu asked Liu Jiang from Yushitai?" Zhang Tingyu replied.

"Zhang Xiangying, it is indeed him." Yu Gan nodded and said.

Zhang Tingyu took a sip of tea, put two pieces of charcoal into the small stove with his left hand, and asked slowly, "This Liu Jiang should go to prison, right? Director Yu is for this matter."

"I'm ashamed, that's exactly why I'm kidding." Yu Gan nodded and replied.

Zhang Tingyu raised his head and squinted at Yu Gan, "Do you know why Liu Jiang was imprisoned?"

"Boy know, it's because of Miao Ziyi." Yu Gan nodded, "But I'm sure Master Liu Jiang doesn't have the slightest intention of rebelling, there must be some misunderstanding.

So I want to ask Zhang Xiang to investigate thoroughly. "

Zhang Tingyu smiled lightly, and suddenly asked, "Director Yu, can you tell me why you want to help Liujiang?"

Yu Gan replied frankly, "Liujiang has a niece named Liu Yan, who is a doctor in our Dali Temple Medical Hall. The kid was seriously injured before, and his life was dying, and it was Doctor Liu who saved her.

After that, Dr. Liu treated me several times.So, Dr. Liu and I have already become siblings of the opposite sex.

Dr. Liu has only one uncle, Liu Jiang, and the people in her family are just honest timber merchants.Such a family suffered such a catastrophe.

The only thing she can find is me. Dr. Liu and I are like brothers and sisters. Liu Jiang is also my uncle. If my uncle is in trouble, I dare not help him. "

Zhang Tingyu nodded, "Since you also know that Liujiang is involved in Miao Ziyi's case, you should know the seriousness of the matter.

Although you are the director of Dali Temple, you should not be too involved in this kind of matter, otherwise you will not be able to help Liu Jiang and involve yourself in it. "

"Boy naturally knows the seriousness of this matter, so I want to ask Mr. Zhang to point out a way out." Yu Qian cupped his hands again and said, "This time Mr. Liu was arrested by Ou Kezhi, the servant of the Ministry of Justice. Mr. Liu has a grudge against him, boy I'm worried that Mr. Liu will have a hard time in prison, so I think it's better to hurry up."

"You want to say that it was Ou Shilang who avenged his personal revenge?" Zhang Tingyu looked at Yu Gan indifferently.

"Boy don't think so." Yu Gan shook his head lightly.

"Arresting people is done by the Ministry of Criminal Justice. Why do you come here if you don't go to the Ministry of Criminal Justice to find someone?" Zhang Tingyu smiled softly, "Or, it would be better to let Dali Temple directly.

Director Yu is very important in Dali Temple now, this old man has also heard about it.No matter how bad it is, you can ask Princess Wen An to help.

The matter between Director Yu and Princess Wen'an is a beautiful story in Tai'an City. "

"I'm ashamed." Yu Gan shook his head lightly, "First of all, it's not good to bother my wife, she is only a woman after all, and there are many inconveniences.

As for the Dali Temple, it can't help this.Our Dali Temple and the Ministry of Criminal Justice are two independent systems and cannot interfere with each other at all. I think you know this, Mr. Zhang.

So after thinking about it, I can only come to Zhang Xiang for your help. "

"Manchu civil and military, why did you find this old man?" Zhang Tingyu continued to ask with a smile.

Yu Gan replied frankly, "Let's put it this way, I don't know many people, so I barely know you a little better than Zhang Xiang. The second is that everyone says that Zhang Xiang has a heart for the common people and is upright.

Since Mr. Liu was innocently affected, he naturally thought that Zhang Xiang could help him.The last thing is to think that Zhang Xiang, you may have a better relationship with the Secretary of the Ministry of Justice, and you can talk better. "

Listening to Yu Gan's words, Zhang Tingyu's face did not fluctuate. He added tea and said, "Director Yu has a delicate mind and can speak well."

"Ms. Zhang praised it absurdly. Why talk about these things?" Yu Gan shook his head.

"So, what Director Yu means is that the old man is letting the Ministry of Criminal Affairs take Liujiang's family behind his back?" Zhang Tingyu looked at Yu Gan with a half-smile.

The latter bowed his hands, "I have never thought of this before. Zhang Xiang is upright and aboveboard, and he has the community in mind, so how could he do such a thing. I have never thought of this before."

Zhang Tingyu smiled lightly, covered the teapot, raised his head, looked at Yu Gan with a serious look, and said, "Since you have come to this old man, it is not easy for this old man to let Director Yu go home empty-handed.

However, I still need to tell you about this. "

Zhang Tingyu paused for a moment, and continued, "The Queen Mother's birthday is coming soon, and you know that the son of Nanyang Prince will also go to Beijing to celebrate her birthday."

"I know." Yu Gan nodded.

"The Liujiang incident actually has a lot to do with this." Zhang Tingyu said slowly, "In other words, not only Liujiang, but all the relatives and friends who have been involved with Miao Ziyi are basically in the prison of the Ministry of Criminal Justice.

This is His Majesty's intention. When Nanyang King's people arrive in Beijing, they will be beheaded in a grand manner.After all, Director Yu is one of the persons in charge of the witchcraft case, I think you should understand the reason for this.

In addition, even if Ou Kezhi and Liu Jiang have unresolved grievances, it is not a public revenge as you think.Without His Majesty's will, how could Ou Shilang dare to exaggerate like this. "

Yu Gan was stunned, although Zhang Tingyu didn't speak clearly, but Yu Gan naturally knew the deep meaning of it.

The emperor wants to disown the people of Nanyang?Or is it to let people in Nanyang see Taian's attitude?

No matter what kind of idea it is, what the emperor wants is to fight back.At that time, he knew that the King of Nanyang was playing tricks behind him, but because of the overall situation, Li Xun just made three false edicts to explain.

The face and prestige of the royal family were actually damaged to a great extent, so Li Xun had to find a way to get some back.

Because Miao is a talented person, then this Miao Ziyi is the best sacrifice.Everyone, including Miao Ziyi, who has had close contact with him will step into this fate.

At this time, the truth is not important, what is needed is to behead these people, show it to the King of Nanyang, and show it to the world.

The royal family also has an attitude.

So, if Zhang Tingyu really meant that he was the Son of Heaven, then this Liujiang can only be said to be extremely unlucky, and at the same time it is not at all salvageable.

Before Yu Gan came, he really didn't think that this was the meaning of the emperor.

Looking at Yu Gan who fell silent, Zhang Tingyu looked at him indifferently, and then suddenly asked, "Director Yu, knowing this situation, do you choose to continue saving people or just let it go?

As far as the old man knew, Liujiang's niece was exempt from blame because of her status in Dali Temple.Isn't it enough to keep her alone?

You go back and tell her what it means, and she can't blame you.

So, do you still have to convince the old man? "

Yu Gan raised his head and looked at the other party, then stood up and clasped his fists heavily, "This is a big matter, so I won't bother to make an appearance. I'll take my leave first, and I won't bother you much.

As for the matter of saving people, I still want to give it a try, after all Master Liu is innocent and shouldn't die under such a reason. "

Things have come to this, Zhang Tingyu really has no reason to stand out, there is no need to spoil the emperor's affairs for a mere Liujiang, this is not something a prime minister should do.

The two didn't have a deep friendship, so Yu Gan would naturally not be here anymore, it was meaningless.

"Then if no one can help you in the end, why are you going to His Majesty?" Zhang Tingyu asked aloud.

Yu Gan paused, "Probably, I am a useful body to Da Qi, and I have never asked His Majesty for anything, so I should go there."

"Director Yu really has the heart of a child." Zhang Tingyu smiled softly, "Sit down, don't rush to leave, the old man didn't say he wouldn't help."

Yu Gan looked back at Zhang Tingyu in surprise, not understanding what the other party meant.But seeing Zhang Tingyu just pointing at his seat just now.

Yu Gan had no choice but to sit down again, looking at the other party with a questioning gaze.

Zhang Tingyu added another cup of tea to Yu Gan, and then said, "If Director Yu comes a few days later, then the old man has nothing to do.

But for now, the time is still coming.There are still some days before the Prince of Nanyang enters Beijing.Therefore, Mr. Liu can still handle this matter.

Many people related to Miao Ziyi have already been imprisoned, but the Shaoliujiang family is not a big problem. "

After saying these words, Zhang Tingyu sat directly to the right, picked up a piece of rice paper and spread it out, dipped the brush in ink, and wrote on the paper.

Soon, he finished writing, took the photo seal and stamped it, and finally handed the rice paper to Yu Gan, "With this manuscript, you can go to the Ministry of Punishment to find Wu Shangshu's leader."

Now it's Yu Gan's turn to fail to understand, Zhang Tingyu has done him such a big favor just because he didn't agree with each other?For a while, Yu Gan didn't take the rice paper immediately.

"Why, Director Yu doesn't trust the old man?" Zhang Tingyu asked.

Only then did Yu Gan come back to his senses, took the rice paper, and looked at the contents on the paper.It was indeed an order for the Minister of Criminal Justice to release Liu Jiang's family, without any other content involved.

After reading it, Yu Gan looked up at Xiang Zhang, hesitated for a moment, and asked, "Master Zhang, I am a little confused."

"You are wondering why the old man wants to help you, right?"

"Please Zhang Xiang to explain."

With a smile on his face, Zhang Tingyu said softly, "In the morning, after the old man came down to court, he heard many people discussing a line of poetry. An Neng's eyebrows were bowed and his waist was bent to serve the dignitaries.

Later, I found out that this shocking aphorism came from Director Yu.

Daqi has been established for thousands of years, and the poems have long been in decline. I never thought that the old man could still hear such poems.

Those who can utter such verses must be truly ambitious people. "

Yu Gan was stunned again, rare, he felt ashamed of his morality.

So embarrassing and shameful.

Zhang Tingyu continued to talk slowly, "Actually, the old man has been interested in Director Yu since Director Yu came to my house before."

"Why?" Yu Gan couldn't help asking.

"At that time you went to search Liu Zisi's yard, and I heard from Lao Deng that you had been reading Liu Zisi's unfinished posthumous work for a long time. And you didn't think there was anything wrong with such shocking remarks." Zhang Tingyu paused. After a while, "The old man has always wanted to ask you, what do you think of Liu Zisi's remarks?"

Yu Gan clasped his fists and replied, "I respect everyone's views on the world, that's all."

Zhang Tingyu laughed heartily, "Later, I sent someone to check Director Yu, and found that Director Yu had been studying hard before entering Dali Temple.

After that, he upheld justice, and when he was just a small deacon, he felt that he was confronting the third highness of Zhao Wangfu in court because of a common woman.

I haven't seen such a young man in Chicheng for a long time.Today Xiaoyou came forward again on behalf of Liu Jiang, Liu Jiang is indeed an upright admonisher.

So, this old man helped me. "

Yu Gan felt ashamed in his heart, he didn't expect Zhang Tingyu to be able to comprehend himself to such an extent.

It's just... really overwhelming.

So I have always been such an upright and excellent man?

For the first time, Yu Gan had doubts about his shamelessness. Yes, in his heart, he originally had self-awareness.

"Master Zhang is absurd." Yu Gan said sweatingly, "So, the reason for Xiang Zhang's help is because of an occasional line of poetry."

Zhang Tingyu didn't answer the question, but just said, "Director Yu thinks that you came to ask the old man for this favor today, is it something you say is a powerful person?"

"Yes." Yu Gan nodded.

"Is that a matter of breaking the brows and bowing the waist for the powerful?" Zhang Tingyu asked again.

Yu Gan paused, then nodded, "Yes."

"Then is this the same as what you said before?" Zhang Tingyu continued to ask with a smile.

"It's not the same." Yu Gan shook his head.

"I hope that Director Yu can always keep his original intention. The national style of Daqi needs young people like you, Director Yu, to carry forward and stick to it." Zhang Tingyu finally said, "It's getting late, you can go to the Ministry of Criminal Justice by yourself."

Yu Gan was silent for a while, and then asked, "Master Zhang, after all, this is His Majesty's will. Now that you have let Master Liu go, what is your majesty's explanation?"

"The old man will explain to His Majesty, you don't need to think about it." Zhang Tingyu explained.

Yu Gan was silent again, and in the end he didn't say much, he just stood up and bowed solemnly, "I thank Zhang Xiang, and I also thank Zhang Xiangxiang for their great kindness on behalf of Master Liu and his family.

If there is something that needs to be explained by Zhang Xiangruo in the future, just say it. "

Zhang Tingyu smiled and nodded slightly.

Yu Gan didn't stay any longer, and left straight away. When he walked into the courtyard, he looked back at the study.He could vaguely see the old man in Chinese clothes facing him sideways.

The current prime minister with mixed reputation.

For some reason, when Yu Gan looked at the other party, Zhang Tingyu always gave himself a different feeling.Can't see what he's thinking.

But there is one thing Yu Gan can be sure of, that is, the other party is definitely not a traitor, but an absolutely capable minister.

After walking out of the prime minister's mansion, Yu Gan jumped into the carriage and said to Lu Xing, "Go to the Ministry of Punishment."

"Okay." Lu Xing also didn't ask too much, and drove to the Criminal Department.

A few quarters of an hour later, the two arrived at the Criminal Department.The whole body is solemn and solemn, a little vicissitudes and old, and a wave of evil spirit is faintly transmitted from the Ministry of punishment.

Great Qi has been established for so many years, and countless criminal officials have died here.

Following Yu Gan's wishes, Lu Xing parked the carriage a little further away.

"Notify Xia Tingxue to bring Dr. Liu here." Yu Gan casually said to Lu Xing, "Just say, her uncle is fine, come and pick him up."

"Okay." Lu Xing directly took out a paper talisman.

Taking advantage of the time to write the message, he couldn't bear to ask after all, "So, boss, did you go to the prime minister's mansion just now to ask Prime Minister Zhang to help release him?"
