Chapter 310 No longer confident
Hai Rui looked at Li Defang indifferently and said, "May I ask the imperial envoy, who told you that the frozen sheep here belong to humans?"
Li Defang was killed Hai Rui was stunned when he asked this question. He never expected that Hai Rui would dare to ask back.
Li Defang was speechless for a moment. This question is really difficult to answer.
If you say something wrong, you can easily offend others, but if you don’t say it, it doesn’t seem to work.
After all, Hai Rui is not an imperial prisoner yet. Although they followed the cabinet's instructions and asked about the freezing death of people in the dormitory outside Chongwen Gate, they still have the right to know where the crime started.
Therefore, there is nothing wrong with Hai Rui's rhetorical question.
Li Defang glanced awkwardly at the frustrated Yan Shifan.
After being glanced at by Li Defang, Yan Shifan immediately exploded again.
Yan Shifan felt that he was really unlucky today. He was obviously the messenger of justice who exposed crimes, but he still had to be interrogated by the Ministry of Punishment. Is this really justified?
Yan Shifan suddenly got angry and said arrogantly to Hai Rui: "It's me!"
Hai Rui looked at Yan Shifan who couldn't help but jumped out, his expression remained calm, Hai Rui asked again: "Dare you ask? Where did Mr. Xiao Ge know that there was an accident in the work shed dormitory? The official immediately sealed off the scene and no one could enter or leave. Could it be that Mr. Xiao Ge knew what was going on in advance? br>
Yan Shifan was stunned by Hai Rui's rebuke. It was hard to accept the words.
And if you don’t connect well, it’s easy to be bypassed by this little black face. Once you are bypassed, won’t you lose the initiative?
Obviously, this is not in line with Yan Shifan’s interests.
So Yan Shifan opened his mouth in the end and said forcefully: "You move away now and let the people from the Ministry of Punishment and Dali Temple come in and take a look!"
But Hai Rui is obviously not afraid either. .
These supervisory soldiers under Hai Rui are all elites transferred from the Four Guards Camp. These people were brave men who followed Zhu Zaijing in the suburbs of Beijing and defeated the Tatar army. Now they are The call here is naturally very impressive, and cannot be compared to the loose government service soldiers from the Ministry of Justice and Dali Temple.
So, when Yan Shifan wanted to force Hai Rui to transfer the supervisors away, it was just a joke.
Let’s not talk about whether Hai Rui will listen or not. These people may not listen to Yan Shifan.
Hai Rui's tone deepened, "Be careful, Mr. Xiao Ge! I came here in a hurry from the work shed dormitory. Actually, I was worried that you would not understand the importance and rushed directly into the work shed dormitory compound."
"Now, Xiaguan also knows your intention, but I can't get out of the way until the situation inside is resolved. Otherwise, this will be Xiaguan's dereliction of duty and his irresponsibility to the people of the capital."
< br>When Yan Shifan heard Hai Rui's words, he immediately laughed out of anger.
Yan Shifan said: "You, a little official, dare to claim responsibility? People from the Ministry of Punishment and Dali Temple are here now. They followed the emperor's order and the cabinet's order to personally inspect the work shed dormitory. "But you are here to make excuses for an unjust case. Are you trying to resist the decree and become an enemy of the imperial court?" Being charged with resisting the imperial edict clearly meant that Hai Rui would be put to death.
But Hai Rui was not a soft persimmon, nor was he afraid of Yan Shifan's intimidation. Hai Rui said: "Old Xiaoge, I don't know how you know about the things in the work shed dormitory, but I also have responsibilities as a subordinate. I am responsible for supervising the expansion of the outer city of the capital, so I naturally have to do it for you. The people in the outer city of the capital are responsible for the safety of their lives.”
“Last night, more than ten sheep suddenly died in the sheep pen next to the kitchen in the work shed dormitory compound. It is difficult for the subordinates to judge such sheep. Is it because of the snow and cold, or because of some epidemic, that’s why we ordered the dormitory to be sealed off and let people from the Medical College come to check it out, and now the people from the Medical College are on their way.”
“ If Mr. Xiao Ge is truly determined to serve the country and seek help for the people, when the time comes, when the people from the Medical College arrive, I will be willing to take Mr. Xiao Ge into the work shed dormitory to see the inspection process on the spot. "
< br>Hai Rui's words immediately stunned Yan Shifan. Then Hai Rui looked up at Li Defang and other people from the Ministry of Punishment and Dali Temple, and said, "All the imperial envoys can also enter together when the time comes. However, Wan If the sheep that died here were really due to an epidemic, then the official would have to implement the supervision and safety regulations and seal the work shed and dormitory for fifteen days.”
"When the time comes, I will also live and eat with Mr. Xiao Ge and all the imperial envoys, and wait for the final result together."
Hai Rui's words immediately caused a commotion.
The common people who were still around to watch the commotion and did not mind the trouble, when they heard Hai Rui say that there might be an epidemic here, their expressions changed one after another, and they immediately stepped back several steps, fearing that there might be an epidemic here. The disease here will be the same as them.
Li Defang was also frightened by Hai Rui's words. How could it be like this?
Didn’t you say that the people freezing inside were people? How could it become an epidemic in the blink of an eye?
If this was really an epidemic, it would have been caused by the Taiyuan Hospital sending people to check, and it would not have been the turn of the Sansi Yamen like the Ministry of Punishment and Dali Temple.
So Li Defang was a little panicked at this moment. After all, they had no evidence to prove that the people inside were freezing to death. They only received the mission after listening to the cabinet's message and Yan Shifan's conclusive words. here.
If it is really an epidemic, it will be a big deal.
But Yan Shifan was not afraid at all. Yan Shifan snorted coldly: "You said it was an epidemic, but it was an epidemic? You said it was a sheep that died, just a sheep? I think you are just bluffing, trying to intimidate the imperial envoy to achieve ulterior motives. "
"There is also the Medical Academy. As we all know, the Medical Academy is an yamen within Shunyi Industrial Park, and you are an official of Prince Yu's Palace. There is no guarantee that you will not be connected with them. , I can’t trust the Medical College. If you are really brave, I can ask someone from the Tai Hospital to check!”
Hai Rui said with an unchanging expression: "Since Xiaoge can always invite people from Tai Hospital, let's ask people from Tai Hospital to come together. In this case, we can also have one more witness."
Seeing Hai Rui's calm expression, Yan Shifan felt a little guilty. After all, the information he got was second-hand information given by Luo Longwen. If it was really inconsistent with the information he got, he would be the one who would be disgraced.
So, Yan Shifan was not too confident at this time.
But now the arrow has to be fired. After all, this matter has caused a stir in the city. Even Emperor Jiajing ordered the cabinet to handle it. Now the cabinet has placed the task on the Ministry of Punishment and the Metropolitan Procuratorate. , If the three yamen of Dali Temple are so cowardly at the door, isn't this just teasing the emperor?
The consequences are also very serious.
Therefore, Yan Shifan could only bite the bullet and said: "Okay! Since you dare, why shouldn't I dare? Come, go find Yuan Zheng from the Tai Hospital and ask him to come with the doctors from the Tai Hospital. I want to see Let’s see how long you can last!”
