Dressed as Su Peisheng

Kangxi 48 years

June 24, Shuntian government office

"It turned out to be Eunuch Su, who has admired his name for a long time, has admired his name for a long time," Tu Yi recovered from the shock, and clapped his hands at Su Wei repeatedly, "It's all due to poor officials. I knew this matter was related to Eunuch Su. The officer himself--"

"Lord Tu!" Yang Tai, who couldn't stand it anymore, cut off Tu Yi's words sharply, raised his face coldly and said, "Yang did not come to Shuntian Mansion to see how you flirt! My Tianhe Company was deliberately Arson, the owner behind this hall is still waiting for your fair judgment."

"Yes, yes, yes, shopkeeper Yang, please rest assured," Tu Yi grabbed his cuff and wiped the cold sweat on his forehead, trying his best to find ways to get the best of both worlds, while racking his brains to think about how to get through the crisis in front of him, "Well, I'm taking the liberty, May I ask Eunuch Su, is the Jisheng Tang in Beijing owned by Eunuch Su?"

"That's right," Su Wei walked to the tea table and sat down calmly, flicking the wrinkles on his robe with one hand, "Our family has been running this Jishengtang for some years, thanks to the blessings of friends from all walks of life, the business has been going well They are all good. If Mr. Ritu needs anything in the future, just send someone to tell him that Jisheng Tang dare not compare with others, and the quality of the goods is definitely first-class."

"That's, that's, the reputation of Jisheng Tang, the lower officials are also very famous." Tu Yi glanced carefully at Yang Tai's face, then swallowed hard and said to Su Wei, "It's just that the lower officials heard that, Jishengtang and Tianhe Company have always had conflicts of interest, and recently several transactions have been even more tit-for-tat. Last night, the warehouse of Tianhe Company in the suburbs of Beijing was artificially set on fire and suffered heavy losses. Several shopkeepers believed that Jishengtang The suspicion is the biggest, I don’t know Mr. Su—”

Tu Yi made a long speech, and tentatively looked at the legendary Eunuch Su, who was very difficult to mess with, but saw that the other party's eyes lit up, and he slapped his hands without concealing his joy, "It's burning well, it's really an eye-opener." , our family can also breathe a sigh of relief without those tricks.

"Su Peisheng!" Yang Tai frowned, and shouted sharply, "What do you mean by that? Is it easy to bully when we are Tianhe Company?"

Su Wei raised his head slightly, and looked at Yang Tai with a hint of contempt, "We just want to ask what shopkeeper Yang means. Regardless of the fire at your Tianhe store, you are a small businessman with no title. Two, without an official position, what qualifications do you have to yell in front of this father-in-law? It's disrespectful!"

"Hmph," Yang Tai was not intimidated by Su Wei, he just smiled coldly, "Grandpa Su's so-called decency is probably of no use in Shuntian Prefecture Yamen. Master Tu invited Su Gonggong here today to drink tea and reminisce about the old days." Yes. Although the villain's status is low, but he comes to the Yamen as a bitter master to file a complaint, and there is absolutely no rule of paying respects to the suspect."

"Oh?" Su Wei stood up and walked up to Yang Tai step by step, "So, shopkeeper Yang made up his mind to put the name of the arsonist on my father-in-law?"

The corner of Yang Tai's mouth curved slightly, he met Su Wei's gaze neither humble nor overbearing, and said, "Yes or no, Mr. Su knows best."

Su Wei nodded seemingly unintentionally, turned to look at Tu Yidao, "Then what is Master Tu's plan for summoning our family here?"

"This—" Tu Yi froze in place for a moment, hesitating left and right.

Yang Tai played with the jade token in his hand, looking at Tu Yi with cold and fierce eyes.

Tu Yi took half a step back, swallowed dryly, and finally bowed his head and cupped his hands at Su Wei helplessly, "Eunuch Su, I've offended you."

The servants outside the hall moved when they heard the sound, and the chains on their hands rattled along with the sound of footsteps.

Yang Tai stepped aside, with the corners of his mouth raised jokingly, he wanted to see what kind of tricks this Grand Duke Su, who is well-known in the capital, can use now.

"My lord, my lord, you can't," a clerk who has been working in the Shuntian government office all year round ran in, and after a hasty salute to those present, he walked up to Tu Yi and whispered a few words.

"This—" Tu Yi frowned when he heard what the official said, and hesitated again.

The clerk glanced at Eunuch Su, who was at ease among the yamen, and tugged at Tu Yi's clothes, "My lord, I have been in Beijing for a long time, and many people have mentioned the experience of Eunuch Su. Today we If there is evidence, it’s okay to arrest him and bring him to justice. If he is sent to prison without evidence, we will be in big trouble if we investigate it later in the respect room.”

"Lord Tu!" Seeing that the almost cooked duck was about to fly again, Yang Tai exhausted his last bit of patience, "Master Tu should know who Yang is here today. A eunuch who has no backing That's all, isn't Lord Tu too cautious?"

Tu Yi pursed his lips. He also understood the officials' worries, but in today's round, he had no chance to choose at all. "Please rest assured, Shopkeeper Yang, the next official will definitely give Shopkeeper Yang an explanation."

"My lord!" The clerk looked anxious, and before he could say the rest, Tu Yi held down his shoulder.

"Grandpa Su, please cooperate more," Tu Yi said in his heart so that he would not suffer some flesh and blood.

The two leading yamen servants were the first to move forward when they heard the words, but when the chain touched Su Wei's cuff, they were cut off in a cold voice.

"Lord Tu, you have disappointed our family so much." Su Wei turned his hands away, as if he didn't pay attention to the servants who approached him at all, "The state owns the state law, and the family has family rules. Master Tu has only heard of my name, Su Peisheng. Don't you know my grade, Su Peisheng?"

"What rank!" Yang Tai took over the words impatiently, "Prince Yong is still in confinement, so what's the use of Su Gonggong's higher rank? I advise Su Gonggong to stop making sophistry and cooperate with Lord Tu as soon as possible." Investigations are serious!"

Su Wei raised his eyebrows, waved his hand and pushed away the servants in front of him, and walked straight in front of Yang Tai, "Shopkeeper Yang, don't overdo it, my prince can't leave the house, isn't your master the same? Ninth elder brother is delicate, this It’s better to rest a lot during the season.”

Tu Yi, who was standing aside, frowned slightly, and couldn't help thinking of the extortion case of Xifuna, which had caused a storm in the court recently, and Brother Jiu seemed to be involved in it.

"Master Tu," Su Wei turned around and walked to Tu Yi's side after Yang Tai's face was blushed. Focus on my lord's thoughts behind closed doors in the past few days. In fact, there is no need for my lord to take action on a trivial matter like today. If Mr. Tu has evidence, our family will naturally accept interrogation. But if Mr. Tu has something to torture into a trick If you think about it, then you underestimate me, Su Peisheng."

"The lower officials don't quite understand what Eunuch Su means," said Tu Yi, whose forehead began to break out in cold sweat again.

The corner of Su Wei's mouth raised, and he strutted up to a few yamen servants, his eyes swept away lightly, "Master Tu, do you know how my eunuch got this yellow oriole-buddy palace uniform?"

"Please enlighten me, Eunuch Su," Tu Yi's heart skipped a beat. Su Peisheng's name was also passed on to him through the name of Prince Yong.He knew that this father-in-law had repeatedly made outstanding achievements in front of Prince Yong and was highly valued, but when he went into details, he was ignorant.

The official just reminded him that Su Peisheng was also quite influential in the palace, and he was a rare sixth-rank eunuch.But when he thought of Brother Nine's persecution, Tu Yi couldn't care less about that much.Anyway, when the respect room started to investigate, brother Jiu couldn't ignore it.However, despite making such a decision, after hearing Su Peisheng's warning, Tu Yi suddenly felt uneasy again.

Su Wei had enough of showing off, and after sweeping all the yamen servants into panic, he slowly said, "Back then, our family was appreciated by Empress Xiaoyi because of our service to the prince, and I was specially promoted to be the eighth-rank chief eunuch. When the Holy Majesty personally conquered Galdan, and because I fought hard against the spies of Galdan, the Long Live God personally decreed to give me Huangying Buzi, the sixth rank of the Jin Dynasty. Our family is grateful for the kindness of the Long Live God and the Empress Xiaoyi. The palace uniforms are well preserved. Today, I heard that Master Tu wanted to see me, so he deliberately wore the one bestowed by Lord Long Live."

After finishing speaking, Su Wei turned around, gave Tu Yi a faint smile, stretched his hands slightly and said, "What? Master Tu wants to take off my father-in-law's clothes?"

Tu Yi was startled suddenly, and hastily bowed down and said, "I don't dare, I don't dare."

Yang Tai widened his eyes, gouged out Tu Yi viciously, turned his head and said to Su Wei angrily, "Su Peisheng, don't scare me here! Even if it was rewarded by the former empress and the Long Live God, so what? The officials all over the world Eunuch, which one does not mean that it was bestowed by the Long Live Lord? If, as you said, the disciples of the Son of Heaven commit crimes, they can be unscathed as long as they wear official uniforms, so what is the use of the Qing Dynasty's laws?"

Su Wei squinted his eyes, but clapped his hands unexpectedly, "Master Yang is really eloquent, why doesn't he take the road of imperial examination to obtain scholars with such a good talent? If a disciple of the emperor stands here today, I, Su Peisheng, will also Willing to swallow this breath."

"Eunuch Su, let's not talk about him," Yang Tai said with a cold face, raising his hands to the servants, "What are you waiting for? Why don't you invite Eunuch Su down?"

Several yamen servants looked at each other, you looked at me, I looked at you, and looked at Tu Yi together.

At this time, Tu Yi was completely at a loss, not thinking, wishing he had an emergency immediately and passed out on the spot.

"Shopkeeper Yang, I think you shouldn't embarrass Mr. Tu," Su Wei found another chair and sat down, holding up his teacup in a leisurely manner and said, "Time is fate, and if the fire burns, maybe the business will be better in the future Well. Look at my Xilaishun, there were only ruins at the beginning, but now it’s all over the city of Beijing.”

"You——" Yang Tai pursed his lips, stopped arguing with Su Wei, turned his head and stared at Tu Yi fiercely, and said, "Master Tu, you are too timid to do great things! You are careful to calculate, calculate , Throwing away my own brains!"

Tu Yi's face turned pale again, but he didn't back away again, "Shopkeeper Yang, don't be too aggressive. Today's case is not because of my refusing to deal with it, but because of the lack of evidence! Just relying on your empty words, you can Long Live Lord and the former Empress personally promoted the sixth-rank internal supervisor to be punished. Let alone the Shuntian Mansion, even if it is transferred to the Ministry of Punishment, one needs to think twice before acting."

"Okay, think twice before acting!" Yang Tai smiled coldly, and the jade card in his hand slapped Tu Yi in front of him, "Then, first put the suspect in custody, and then question him after all the evidence is collected, it won't make any difference Right?"

Tu Yi's face froze, and he immediately guessed Yang Tai's intentions.It seems to take a step back, but in fact the same goal is reached by different routes. When Su Peisheng is in prison, whether this evidence is or not will not make much sense.

Su Wei, who was sitting at the side, secretly clenched the teacup. He actually underestimated Yang Tai as his opponent.Take retreat as advance, and do another trick if one plan fails.The link of beating and beating into tricks trapped both him and Tu Yi, but Yang Tai jumped out at the most critical moment.

"What?" Yang Tai sneered, "Master Tu really wants my master to intervene in such a trivial matter?"

Tu Yi held his breath, and glanced at Su Wei, who had already put down his tea bowl, "I dare not. Although Eunuch Su has a special status, he is a suspect involved in the case. I will—"

"My lord!" The same official from just now ran in with a panicked expression, this time without even saluting, he just knelt down and said, "My lord, the Long Live Lord has just returned to Beijing, and the confinement of Prince Yong's residence has been revoked." !"

Tu Yi sat down on the round stool that almost fell over, and Yang Tai turned pale instantly.

Only Grandpa Su Wei and Su let out his breath slowly, relaxed the nerves that had just tensed up, and lazily leaned back on the back of the chair, "What's the matter? I'm still waiting, Mr. Tu, didn't you say that you want to take me into custody?" ?bring it on!"

After a stick of incense, Su Wei and Yang Tai walked out of the gate of the Shuntian government office one by one.

Ku Kui arrived at the gate of the Yamen in his carriage, and Su Wei walked ahead with his hands behind his back, humming a little tune.

Yang Tai snorted heavily, and was about to bypass Su Wei and go to his carriage, but was stopped by someone.

"Treasurer Yang," Su Wei said in a loud and authentic voice, regardless of the pedestrians around him, "just now in the Yamen, you accused me, Ji Shengtang, of burning your Tianhe business name, I think it's because we are colleagues , I don’t care about you. However, after all, our family came out wearing men’s clothes, and shopkeeper Yang is also from a high school, so there are some rules that should be followed or must be followed.”

Yang Tai looked around at the surrounding pedestrians, swallowed his breath and said, "What does Eunuch Su mean by saying this? To put it bluntly, why beat around the bush?"

Su Wei bent the corners of his lips, and touched the horse mane beside him with one hand, "Just now in the government office, shopkeeper Yang said that the victim who complained did not have the rules to salute the suspect. But now, the case of Tianhe Company has been settled with us Ji Sheng It doesn't matter to Tang anymore, and you and I walked out of the Shuntian government office safe and sound. There is such a big oolong, public and private, shopkeeper Yang should let my father-in-law do well, right?"

Yang Tai clenched his fist in one hand, looked at Su Wei indifferently, then slowly bowed his body and said, "Yes, it's the villain Meng Lang who offended Eunuch Su, and please forgive the villain, Mr. Su."

Su Wei smiled coldly, supported Yang Tai with one hand, and whispered in his ear, "Don't worry, shopkeeper Yang, I, Su Peisheng, have always been the most generous. What's more, in less than a day, all colleagues in the capital will know, God You can't beat Ji Shengtang no matter what!"
