The waterwheel that Li Chunfeng found novel was naturally modified by Du Kefa. As for the method of modifying the waterwheel, it was also very simple.
He looked for the assistant minister of the Ministry of Works and told them how to improve the waterwheel. These craftsmen understood it very quickly.
In less than half a month, the craftsmen from the Ministry of Works had improved the waterwheel.
It was even more perfect than Du Kefa's waterwheel.
The officials of the Ministry of Works were eager to please the Supreme Court. They would naturally do their best to fulfill Du Kefa's orders.
Du Kefa had left. Li Chunfeng was also a seventh-grade official. He could run away, but he couldn't run away. Sooner or later, he would be used by him!
……
In Duke Xue's Public House, Duan Renfu continued to plead with Zhangsun Shunde,"I beg you to save my son's life."
Zhangsun Shunde was silent.
In the royal court, Du Kefa, the Minister of Judicial Review, was growing in power. However, the Zhangsun Clan was still a relative of the royal family. Zhangsun Shunde considered himself Empress Zhangsun's uncle and was superior in front of others.
"Why was your son arrested and sent to the Supreme Court?”
Duan Renfu told Zhangsun Shunde what he had thought of on the way. The general idea was that his beloved concubine was killed by Jiang He's medicine. Jiang Xiu used beauty to bewitch Du Kefa to avenge her and captured his son into the Supreme Court.
"So it's such a small matter." Zhangsun Shunde laughed loudly." If that's the case, I'll definitely be able to save your son when I go to the Supreme Court next time.”
"Thank you for saving my life, Duke. I recently opened a restaurant in the East City and business is good.”
"Sure, sure." Zhangsun Shunde smiled when he heard Duan Renfu giving him a restaurant.
He really did write a visiting letter to the butler and sent him to the Supreme Court to look for Du Kefa.
……
In the Supreme Court, Du Kefa was sorting out the specific plan for the civil and military officials 'assessment and was about to hand it over to Gao Shilian, the Minister of Personnel Affairs. At this moment, a bailiff entered the hall."Milord, State Duke Xue's butler is outside requesting an audience.”
State Duke Xue? Zhangsun Shunde?
Du Kefa didn't understand why Zhangsun Shunde was looking for him. He didn't have much of a relationship with Zhangsun Shunde.
"Let him in."
After the butler entered the Supreme Court, he arrogantly handed the visiting card to Du Kefa.
From the moment this butler entered the Court of Judicial Review, Du Kefa could tell that this butler was a dog who relied on others 'power.
Relying on the fact that his master was Zhangsun Shunde, he was a fox borrowing the tiger's might.
Du Kefa opened it and almost laughed out loud.
At the beginning of the visiting card, the relationship between the two was pointed out. Then, Zhangsun Shunde told Du Kefa in the tone of an elder to release Duan De and send Jiang He, the death row prisoner, back to the Ministry of Justice. This way, his relationship with the Zhangsun family could be further improved.
In the end, Zhangsun Shunde also reminded him not to covet the beauty of the prisoner's daughter, lest Princess Changle be sad.
The butler waited for Du Kefa to finish reading the visiting card, then raised his head and said,"Lord Du, quickly hand Duan De over to me. Old Master is still waiting in the manor.”
This time, Du Kefa was so angry that he laughed.
Like master, like servant.
A mere butler actually dared to spout nonsense in the Supreme Court.
Did he not know what kind of place this Supreme Court was?
Could it be that this little butler did not know what it meant to be an official with great authority?
Du Kefa threw the visiting card in his hand forward and sneered,"Go back and tell Zhangsun Shunde that he's not worthy of ordering me to release him.”
"Lord Du, don't make a mistake. My master is Empress Zhangsun's uncle.”
"Threaten me? I want to see Zhangsun Shunde's ability. Men!"
A few constables stood out and glared at the butler fiercely.
Du Kefa continued to give orders,"This person is shouting in the court. Bring him out and beat him with a 30-kill club to warn others!"”
"Here!"
"You can't hit me! I am the butler of Duke Xue's estate!"
Du Kefa sneered,"Forget about you being a butler. Even if Zhangsun Shunde were to roar in the Supreme Court, I would still beat him up!"”
Hearing Du Kefa's words, the butler was sweating profusely. At the same time, he was afraid and begged for mercy.
However, it was too late!
……
This butler of State Duke Xue was really stupid.
He probably thought that just because Zhangsun Shunde's official position was higher than the Supreme Court, he could use his authority.
The constables all raised their killing sticks and surrounded the butler. The killing sticks hit him again and again, making him cry out in pain and beg for mercy.
"Lord Du, Lord, please stop. I admit my mistake, I admit my mistake.”
Du Kefa coldly watched as the bailiffs drove the butler out of the Supreme Court.
The constable chased the butler out of the Supreme Court. The butler stared at the Supreme Court angrily and gritted his teeth."Wait for me to go back and report this to Old Master.”
The butler held his waist and limped away.
"This guy is really stupid. I really don't know how such a person can be a butler in Zhangsun Shunde's residence.”
"I think he doesn't want his head anymore.”
"How dare you behave atrociously in the Supreme Court? Why don't you take a piss and look at your cowardly appearance?”
When the butler limped back to Duke Xue's Mansion, Zhangsun Shunde was still proudly boasting to Duan Renfu about his bloody contributions to the Great Tang.
"You don't have to worry. With my invitation, Du Kefa won't dare to not let your son go.”
As soon as he finished speaking, the butler walked in in a sorry state, tears and snot flowing down his face."Please help me, Master."
Zhangsun Shunde was stunned for a while before he recognized his butler." Who hit you?”
"Old Master, I followed your instructions to deliver the visiting card to the Supreme Court. After Du Kefa finished reading it, he got someone to beat me out. Old Master, he doesn't put you in his eyes at all and even insulted you in public.”
Du Kefa dared to hit his butler? This was not giving him face.
Zhangsun Shunde instantly exploded in anger. He stood up angrily and was about to go to the Supreme Court to teach Du Kefa a lesson.
The butler stopped the furious Zhangsun Shunde." Old Master, it's already late. Du Kefa must have fled the Supreme Court in fear of your might. Why don't we go to the Supreme Court tomorrow to seek justice?"”
The butler was beaten out of the Supreme Court in public and lost face. He wanted Zhangsun Shunde to punish Du Kefa in front of the people and vent his anger.
After being persuaded, Zhangsun Shunde saw that it was indeed getting late and said indignantly,"Let Du Kefa be arrogant for one more night. Tomorrow morning, he will go to the Supreme Court.”
……
Early the next morning!
Zhangsun Shunde angrily went to the Supreme Court to denounce him!
