Poor Family Chapter 624

  Chapter 624 Gao Qiu Revenge

That night, Li Daqi drank some wine to strengthen his courage, and took the items entrusted by his son to the Taiwei Mansion. The Taiwei Mansion is very close to the Freezer Street. After walking only one mile, the ox cart stopped in front of the Taiwei Mansion. , Immediately a soldier on guard came to intervene, "No parking here!"

  Li Daqi got off the bullock cart and said with a smile: "I am the proprietor Li of Baoyanzhai. I am here to visit the Taiwei. Please inform me."

  The proprietor of Baoyanzhai is considered a celebrity in the capital, and the soldier immediately smiled, "Are you busy?"

   "It's a private matter, I want to disturb the Taiwei, please let the little brother report it!"

With that said, an ingot of ten taels of silver has already entered the palm of the soldier. Li Daqi has dealt with the government countless times, and he knows the power of these gatekeepers. They hold chicken feathers as arrows and don't report at all. If they don't give them enough benefits, Gao Qiu will never know that he is coming.

  The soldier immediately laughed and said, "Mr. Li wait a moment, I will report right away!"

   "Little San'er, greet Mr. Li well, I'll go in and report."

  This soldier is implying to his companions that they have already benefited.

At this time, Gao Qiu hadn't rested yet, and was writing a report in his study. Because of Liu Yanqing's disastrous defeat in the Northern Expedition, Gao Qiu was more or less implicated, and was severely criticized by the official Zhao Ji, who ordered him to train the army well. In the past two days, he has been racking his brains to select talents from the Forbidden Army.

  At this time, a soldier reported outside the door: "Qi report to Taiwei, owner Li of Baoyanzhai said that he has a private matter to see!"

  Gao Qiu didn't have much dealings with businessmen. He was about to say he didn't see him casually, but he suddenly realized that the proprietor of Baoyanzhai was Li Yanqing's father? It must be that Li Yanqing has something to ask for himself.

  He pondered for a while, and asked him to wait in the guest room, and I will be right there.

Gao Qiu knew that Li Yanqing had just gone to Jingzhao not long ago, so he asked his father to come to him, so he must have had a conflict with Yang Lin. This Yang Lin is also absurd. Human hands can kill him.

Thinking of borrowing a knife to kill someone, Gao Qiu's face became a little hot. Back then, in order to get rid of Zhong Shidao, he also tried to kill Li Yanqing with the help of the Xixia people. Now, Li Yanqing came to him. Could it be that he really didn't care about the old grudges? ?

  Gao Qiu was thinking about something in his heart, so he changed into another clothes, and went to the guest room with his hands behind his back.

Li Daqi was sitting in the living room drinking tea, but he was a little unhappy in his heart. How could this brat be so messed up? He didn't even have a confidant in the imperial court. In the end, he had to let himself out as a businessman. Wouldn't it be great for the Cao family to come forward?

  Li Daqi scolded his son in his heart for a while. At this moment, there was a cough from outside the lobby.

  Gao Qiu waved his hand with a smile, "Li Yuanwai is too polite, in fact, you are not a small person, you have a title!"

  Li Daqi was stunned for a moment, then remembered that he had a title, he smiled wryly and shook his head and said: "How dare you show off a title as big as a sesame seed in front of the Taiwei, and spread it to make people laugh."

  Gao Qiu chuckled, "Mr. Li can really talk, please sit down!"

The two sat down, and Li Daqi didn't make any detours, and handed a letter and a box to Gao Qiu, "I came here today as a messenger for Gouzi, and he asked me to deliver the box and letter to the Taiwei, and there is nothing else to say." , I won't bother the Taiwei, let's take my leave first!”

   "Thanks for the hard work Li Yuanwai. If you have any difficulties in Baoyanzhai in the future, just ask. As long as I can help, I will definitely do my best!"

   "Thank you Taiwei, Daqi will remember it in my heart, and I will leave!"

  Gao Qiu gave Li Yanqing enough face, sent Li Daqi out of the house, watched him get on the bullock cart, and then returned to his study with the box and letter.

  He sat down and opened the letter first, but after reading only a few lines, he jumped up and quickly opened the box, which contained the secret correspondence between Yang Lin and Tong Guan.

  Gao Qiu was so angry that his chest was about to explode, he grabbed the teacup and threw it hard at the wall, 'Bang! ' With a sound, the teacup was smashed to pieces.

  When the Western Xia army was defeated, he did not protect so many confidant generals, but only Yang Lin. Unexpectedly, he actually betrayed him, and he had already secretly taken refuge in Tong Guan. Gao Qi was so angry that he almost vomited blood.

   "Tongguan old thief, if I don't kill you, I won't be named Gao!" Gao Qiu gritted his teeth in hatred.

Not only did Tong Guan completely offend Gao Qiu in the pacification of Fang La, but after the fiasco of the first Northern Expedition, Tong Guan issued a list of those responsible and almost uprooted Gao Qiu's power in the Western Army. rival.

  Gao Qiu calmed down after a while, and continued to read Li Yanqing's letter. In the letter, Li Yanqing pointed out Yang Lin's major crimes, stealing and selling military supplies, and colluding with the Qiang people.

  At the end of the letter, Li Yanqing mentioned Han Shizhong, saying that Han Shizhong was suppressed and denounced by Yang Lin, and he wanted to promote him as commander. In addition, he also wanted to promote Cao Xing as commander, hoping to get Gao Taiwei's support.

  Of course Gao Qiu knew that Han Shizhong, Liu Yanqing's confidant and beloved general, was also one of his own. Li Yanqing wanted to promote Han Shizhong, obviously to show his favor to himself and pave the way for the promotion of Cao Xing.

  Gao Qiu nodded, this Li Yanqing has indeed matured, he happened to be a teacher and retired, his military background is gone, this person is worthy of his own wooing.

  Gao Qiu thought for a while, this matter should wait until the report comes, he needs to communicate with Gao Shen again.

  Two days later, the official report from Jingzhao Mansion was sent to Yushitai. Since Li Yanqing delivered the report, Yushitai had no backlog. They immediately copied two copies to the Privy Council and the Ministry of War respectively.

As soon as Gao Shen came to the official room and sat down, he saw the report on his desk. In fact, he heard a little bit about this case from the Cao family yesterday. military power.

A military general of the fifth rank is not the same as a civil official of the fifth rank, the status is much lower, and the cases of corrupt officials have emerged in an endless stream over the years, those with backers are guaranteed one guarantee, and those without backers are punished severely. Was demoted and transferred.

  It's just that this case involves Li Yanqing's military power, Gao Qiu and Tong Guan, and the fact that he has fornicated the Qiang people who are rioting, so Gao Shen has to be cautious.

He carefully read the report twice. From the description of the report, the evidence should be conclusive. The only problem is that Li Yanqing killed five partial generals and several soldiers. Commander Ling's subordinates, but it's a bit hard to say whether the killing was in wartime or not.

   While meditating, Gao Lian's voice came from the yard, "Is Tongzhi Gao here?"

  Gao Shen hurriedly smiled and greeted him, "What kind of fragrant wind brought the Taiwei here!"

Among the three giants of the Privy Council, Tong Guan served as a member of the Privy Council, that is, the Privy Council envoy, Gao Qiu served as a judge of the Privy Council, and Gao Shen served as a member of the same Privy Council. The two senior officials are actually deputies. Qiu didn't care about specific affairs, and the real power of the Privy Council was actually in Gao Shen's hands.

  Of course, both Tong Guan and Gao Qiu have the right to intervene in matters of the Privy Council, and Gao Shen must take it seriously.

   Gao Qiu sighed, "I'm really in a bad mood!"

   "Taiwei, come in and sit down! It's windy outside." Gao Shen said with a pun.

  Gao Qiu nodded, of course he could understand Gao Shen's words, this wind is Tong Guan, I'm afraid Tong Guan will not let this matter go.

  Walking into the official room and sitting down, Gao Qiu didn't make any detours, and said bluntly: "You have also seen the case sent by Jingzhao Mansion!"

   "Jingzhao Mansion? Which case is it?" Gao Shen asked deliberately pretending to be confused.

   "Yang Lin's case was just delivered early this morning." Gao Qiu stared at the other party sharply.

   "It turned out to be that case." Gao Shen quickly took out the report from under the table, and laughed at himself: "I just got it, I haven't read it carefully yet!"

"I've read this report carefully, and I can only say that the problem is very, very serious. He actually had an affair with the Qiang people. Now that the Qiang riots are related to Xixia, I suspect that this person had an affair with Xixia. If he is not severely punished, it may not be enough to warn the border guards Army."

   Gao Shen said cautiously: "I heard that this Yang Lin was single-handedly selected by Liu Yanqing!"

  Gao Qiu waved his hand, "It doesn't matter who is promoted. I just say that our Privy Council's attitude must be clear about this case. If you don't kill him, there will be a second or third person who has smuggled with the enemy."

  Gao Shen nodded, "My opinion is actually the same as that of Taiwei, but I am afraid that Taiwei Tong will also intervene in this case."

  Gao Qiu snorted coldly, "Of course he will intervene, this case has already cut his flesh!"

After a pause, Gao Qiu said again: "However, while he is still contemplating behind closed doors, we don't want to disturb his reflection. The two of us signed this case and reported it directly to Zhizheng Hall, so that Li Yanqing can get into shape early and lead the army to the Northern Expedition." .”

  Thinking about mistakes behind closed doors is actually a suspension of work for self-reflection. It just so happens that today is the last day for Tong Guan to think about mistakes behind closed doors. Gao Lian obviously wants to seize this last day's opportunity to cook raw rice into mature meals.

If the resolution of the Privy Council has been handed over, if Tong Guan wants to object, he can only go to the emperor to intercede. He can no longer go through the normal process. Report back.

  Of course Gao Shen knew that if he signed this report, he would offend Tong Guan, but Mr. Cao also asked him to help Li Yanqing.

Gao Shen pondered for a while and said: "Let's do this! I can sign the report with the Taiwei, but the normal steps have to be followed. I will send a few people to Jingzhao Mansion to verify. If the report is not true, then I still have to submit a supplementary report. .”

  According to the normal way, people should be sent to verify first, and then the Privy Council will submit a report.

  He got up and smiled and said, "Thank you for your help, I will leave this case to me, and I will send someone to verify it, so that some people will not be allowed to have opinions on the same judge."

  Gao Shen nodded, this is the best.
