Chapter 0035 Small things become big
"What's the reason? General Qin didn't tell Zhang Tongshou?" Li Gang asked lightly.
"He thinks it's righteous?"
Li Gang nodded, "That's right, Luo Shixin is a supporter of the boxing. How could Zhang Xuan let Luo Shixin bear the blame alone? So he also wants to confess his guilt. I guess his idea is to share half of the guilt for Luo Shixin. If the son takes the blame for his father, it would be fine. But in this case, I guess not only Yuwen Shu refused, but the King of Yan would not agree."
After pausing, Li Gang said again: "Zhang Tongshou may not know, but Yuwen Shu believed that it was Zhang Xuan's actions. He believed that Luo Shixin wanted to take the blame for Zhang Xuan."
"Why?"
Zhang Xutuo was stunned. Although he did not understand the unspoken rules of the officialdom and did not understand the worldly ways, he was not stupid. He was stunned for a moment and still reacted.
"Could General Yuwen is dissatisfied with the King of Yan?" Zhang Xutuo asked a little abruptly.
Li Gang nodded slowly. He didn't think Zhang Xutuo was asking abruptly. In fact, he sneered: "The same reason was the case last night, Yuwen Zhi and the proactive provocation of the Yan King's guards."
"What will happen?"
"It's hard to say!"
Li Gang smiled bitterly and said, "As the supervisor in charge of this case, I will report it truthfully and submit my judgment. As for whether the Ministry of Justice will pass it, I really don't know. In short, this case will only become more and more complicated."
Zhang Xutuo finally had to leave unhappily. He finally understood the situation of his disciple Luo Shixin. Henan Yin Li Gang insisted on the principle and believed that the person was killed by his disciple. However, Yuwen Shu insisted that Zhang Xuan was the real murderer, and Zhang Xutuo had no choice but to let fate go.

As the sky gradually darkened, a carriage rushed to the front of the gate of Yu's house. Yu Shiji's stepson Xiahou Yan, who had been waiting on the steps, hurriedly came up to meet him.
"See Yuwen Shibo!"
The car door opened, revealing Yuwen Shu's broad face. He smiled and said, "Nephew, is your father still entertaining guests?"
"My father refused all the guests and waited specifically for the arrival of the uncle!"
"Thank you, father, for giving face!"
Several Yuwen's slaves raised their carriages and helped Yuwen Shu sit on it. Xiahou Yan led the way in front and led Yuwen Shu to the mansion.
At the entrance of the central hall, Yu Shiji was already waiting for Yu Wenshu with a smile. Yu Shiji had his own way of hospitality and asked him to go out to greet him. Unless the emperor and the empress arrived or the prince came to the door, he would not step out of the door.
The high-ranking officials and powerful people came to visit, which was the current rule. His son went out of the gate to greet him, and he was waiting at the middle gate, which was already very embarrassing.
If the level is lower, he will only sit in the living room or outside the study room. Generally, ordinary officials will not even see him when they come to visit, so he will directly ask his son to receive him.
If some wealthy businessmen ask him to do things, he will not even let the door in and ask the housekeeper to accept the gifts. Unless the gifts are very generous, he will not be stingy.
At this time, Xiahou Yan led Yuwen Shu to the entrance of the central hall. A few lanterns appeared more than ten steps away. Yu Shiji smiled and greeted him, "General Yuwen is not in good health, so don't go out. Let Zhiji say, I'll come to visit me in person."
"Maoshi is busy with official business, so why don't you have the nerve to let Maoshi come to the door yourself? It's better for me, an idle person, to run away!"
Both of them are old officials and have a high status, so they are very particular about rules when speaking and doing things. Yuwen Shu had already asked his son to contact Xiahou Yan in advance and told Yu Shiji about the general situation through Xiahou Yan. Yu Shiji did not refuse at all, so Yuwen Shu would come to the door in person, which avoided the embarrassment of the failure to reach the meeting.
Not only that, the subtle relationship between the two can be seen from the names of each other. Yu Shiji himself called Yuwen Shu General Yuwen, but asked his son to call him Shibo, which not only puts on an official attitude, but also has a hard and soft attitude, indicating that there is room for negotiation.
Yuwen Shu directly called Yu Shiji's name, which is about getting close to him and asking him to do things. This is the officialdom, and every word and action have profound meaning.
Unlike Zhang Xutuo, he did not understand the rules of the officialdom and did not understand the worldly ways, so he brought a jar of pickled vegetables to give them to others. The officials thought there was something else inside, but after accepting it, he realized that it was really pickled vegetables, so he quickly sent someone to send them back, indicating that he was honest and respectful.
Zhang Xutuo couldn't give away the things he wanted to do, and there was no hope for what he wanted to do. It would be better not to give such gifts.
Yuwen Shu knew very well that as long as Yu Shiji was willing to see him, there would be room for negotiation. Two subordinates helped him up and slowly followed Yu Shiji into the outer study room.
A maid served tea, and all the servants left. There were only Yu Shiji and Yu Wen Shu in the study room. Yu Shiji took a sip of tea and smiled faintly: "I heard that something happened to the son-in-law last night and had a conflict with the guards of the King of Yan, right?"
"Hey! Hulu is bullied by a dog, and even the little guards dare to despise my son and beat me to death. Is there any place in the world of Sui? "
"Didn't Li Gang claim to be fair and honest? Can't he preside over justice for the general?" Yu Shiji's tone was sarcastic. He had long been dissatisfied with Li Gang's integrity. Although he had a noble status and had to pay attention to his proper speech, his dissatisfaction with some people was still revealed in his words.
Yuwen Shu sighed again, "One side is King Yan, and the other side is the dismissed general. How could he be fair? It was clearly the guards of the King Yan who killed my fake, but he wanted to put the charge on a lower-level officer, which was heartbreaking!"
"Then what can I do for the general?" Yu Shiji asked without saying a word.
"I hope Brother Maoshi can uphold justice."
"I'm afraid it's a bit difficult! If Henan Yin convicted him, the Ministry of Justice would either agree or reject them and let them retrial, and it would be difficult to interfere with the matter."
“It’s not without precedent.”
Yuwen Shu hurriedly said: "When the Cat Demon case in the Palace was retried, wasn't it the Ministry of Justice who took the case directly from the Henan Prefecture Office?"
"That's because the Ministry of Justice has a patrol system and can be reviewed for cases that have been concluded, but this case is still under trial. It's probably not good for the Ministry of Justice to directly interfere. Why don't the general wait for a while?"
Yuwen Shu couldn't wait. After waiting any longer, the daylily became cold. He was determined to use this matter to overturn the case for himself. If he dragged on it, not only would he fail to overturn the case, but he might have died in vain.
Of course Yuwen Shu knew that this was actually a trivial matter for Yu Shiji. He just bargained for the sake of bargaining and making things so difficult.
Yuwen Shu knew what Yu Shiji needed. Yu Shiji was even more greedy than himself. He increased the difficulty and obviously wanted to speak loudly.
But for the sake of his future, Yu Shiji really wanted to blackmail him, so he had to admit it.
Yuwen Shu insisted: "I think it should be possible!"
Yu Shiji smiled, but turned the topic away. He pointed to the study room and said, "What do you think of my study room?"
Yuwen Shu looked at it and said with a smile: "It's more elegant than elegance, it's less gorgeous than it's a little cold on the wall."
"That's right. I plan to hang a few calligraphy and paintings of the village party. However, although there are many calligraphy and paintings in the mansion, there are not a painting of calligraphy and paintings of the fellow villagers. What a pity!"
Yu Shiji had already offered a bid code, and he said it was very subtle, like a riddle, but Yu Wen Shu immediately solved his riddle. Yu Shi was basically a famous calligrapher, and there were only two people in the countryside who could make him like him, including Wang Xizhi and Wang Xianzhi's father and son. It is estimated that Yu Shiji was referring to Wang Xizhi.
Yuwen Shu cursed in his heart that there was a genuine work of Wang Xizhi's "Rain Houtou" hidden in his mansion, which was his treasure. What Yu Shiji wanted should be this character.
Yuwen Shu laughed, "Maoshi is a master of calligraphy. Wouldn't it be better to write one by yourself?"
"Brother Botong was joking. How dare I make a fool of myself at this level?"
The two of them laughed for a few words, and Yu Wenshu stood up and said goodbye. He stopped mentioning the case, and Yu Shiji stopped talking about it. Both of them knew that the price had been issued, and it finally depends on whether their transaction could be reached.

At noon the next day, Zhang Xuan, who was sleeping in a drowsy manner, was awakened by a sound of opening the door. He opened his eyes and saw Chai Shao following Fang Enshi walked in. Zhang Xuan immediately sat up, "Sichang, why are you here?"
Chai Shao squatted down and said, "The King of Yan is a safeguard, my brother can go out for the time being."
"Where is Luo Shixin?" Zhang Xuan asked.
The next door was shaking his head and said, "This is the order of my family's lord. Guard Zhang can guarantee it and wait for the inquiries at any time, but Luo Shixin cannot do it. He cannot leave the Henan Yamen before the case is completed."
Chai Shao said a few more words to Zhang Xuan, and Zhang Xuan nodded, "Okay! Then I'll go out first."
Zhang Xuan followed Chai Shao out of the official gate. There was a carriage outside waiting for a long time. After getting on the carriage, Zhang Xuan asked anxiously, "What's going on?"
"It should be that Yu Wen Shu has connected with Yu Shiji. This case will be tried by the Ministry of Justice. The situation is very bad. I got the latest news. The Ministry of Justice means a common crime. Luo Shixin is the main culprit. If you are an accomplice, Luo Shixin may be executed."
"Is Li's family willing to give it to the Ministry of Justice?"
"Of course, Li Fujun refused, but heard that the Ministry of Justice rejected all his confessions and evidence, and called Yuwen Taibao to re-examine. Everyone changed their confessions and finally concluded that the guards of the King of Yan drew their swords first, and that you and Luo Shixin besieged Wang Qingfang, killed Wang Qingfang. Now not only are you and Luo Shixin guilty, but all the guards of the King of Yan present will be dismissed."
Zhang Xuan's knuckles were clattering. He finally saw the darkness of the officialdom that turned black and white, pointed to a deer as a horse, and his eyes were filled with anger, but he knew that he could not be lost by anger at this time. He restrained his anger and asked in a deep voice: "What does Your Highness, King Yan mean?"
"His Royal Highness Yan was also angry. I have never seen him get so angry that he smashed his beloved inkstone to pieces. He said he would not give up until he killed Yuwen Shu."
"Then what?"
"Then I suggested that he save you first and never let you fall into the hands of the Ministry of Justice. Those ruthless people are not something you can imagine."
Zhang Xuan nodded silently, "Thank you Brother Chai!"
Chai Shao sighed softly, "It's all my brothers, why are you grateful for it? The key to escape this disaster? I feel that King Yan is still a little younger and cannot use his strength in the key areas. I plan to find another relationship to try it out."
