Jia She, Chief Assistant of the Red Chamber

Jia Amnesty was wearing a royal robe, holding his newly acquired official robe in one hand, took a deep breath, and looked at it with an extremely solemn expression.

Cui Yu, who was passed down in the 26th year of Taiping, entered the Imperial Academy as a scholar.In the next year, he was appointed as a magistrate of Yongtai Prefecture. He solved a major case of collusion between gentry and bandits in the country, and used the port to develop the economy according to local conditions, so that the people could live and work in peace and contentment. He was promoted to magistrate after one term.During the period, Yongtai passed the assessment of the Ministry of Officials and was promoted from a state to a government.

The local administrative divisions of this dynasty are provinces, prefectures, states, and counties.

Even if he is the bottom one, he knows how many household registrations, taxes, people's culture and education, etc. are extremely strict restrictions from the state to the government.Jia She swallowed nervously, this future Shangfeng is a genius, and he is very simple in the emperor's heart.Otherwise, based on Cui Yu's background - his father went from a hunter to a butcher, and his mother died early from a maid to a pig-raiser.Even if one has the ability to govern one party, he is also unable to break through layers of joints.

Later, in the autumn of the 32nd year of Taiping, the father was mourned for three years, and he was restored in the 35th year. Hurt...

Looking at the series of deeds behind, Jia Amnesty was overwhelmed with excitement.He remembered!Feelings are the smelly stones in this latrine.

The local deeds, to the former dandy old man, have no impression at all.

But Cui Yu also served as governor of Shuntian in his previous life.However, it has a bad reputation among courtiers, especially among nobles.After all, they are all used to calling Shuntian Fuyin or Wucheng Bingmaying when something happens, and they are even more used to the local government government attached to Guojing City turning a blind eye and turning a blind eye, acting like a muddle.But as soon as Cui Yu took office, the babies of each family were beaten one after another, and some were even locked up according to the law.

The reason why dandies are dandies, except for a few who are intentionally raised and disabled, is it not because the parents love the old lady's palm treasure?

And because of why... Jia She scratched his head, anyway, he seemed to have offended an unknown force because of some case. It seemed that he was assassinated and died in less than five months after taking office.

However, he still remembered.Because after another assassination case, Emperor Taixing became angry with the boss, and then used thunderous means to punish the heirs of the courtiers, and even killed two sons, and finally issued an edict to abdicate to the Ninth Prince, ending the bloody battle for succession.

Thinking of the past, Jia Amnesty touched his beating heart with his hands, fell silent for a while, then turned his head and shouted: "Pen, ink, paper and inkstone, get me a bowl of tofu pudding and fish head to make up for it."

====

After completing my brain, I warned myself to cut off the past for the [-]th time in my mind, so as not to be lost in my mind.Jia Amnesty changed into a blue official robe, poked at the lifelike egret in the middle, and went to the Shuntian government office with his head held high.

As the head of the four great dudes in the capital, Jia She was very familiar with entering Shuntian Mansion as if entering his own home.The government office is located on Donggong Street. Just after passing Yimen, you can see the plaque inscribed by the grandpa and grandpa in the past - Suqing Jidian.The main axis is the lobby, the meeting hall, the treasury, the Drum Tower in the west, the government office, the prison cell in the east, the autopsy room, etc. There are more than a dozen office spaces.Going back to the courtyard behind the house gate, referred to as Houya, there are six courtyards scattered in different sizes for the officials in the government to live.Unlike the majestic Qianya, the buildings are smaller and more unique.

The largest Sijinyuan belongs to the leader Shuntian Fuyin.

Now, he judged that Mr. Jia's first priority when he took office is to send someone to repair and clean the yard, so that Mr. Cui can stay wherever he is.

Swishing to open the fan, Jia She looked at the empty, dilapidated courtyard that could be called "a dilapidated wall" in his eyes, and said to the servants on the left and right: "Go, follow the living environment of the blue sky in the storybook." Repair it for my lord! Try to look poor... bah, look noble." Based on his calculations, this lord Cui really can only live in the government office, after all, he is really blue and has no money in his pocket to buy a house.

Brush and ink, paper and inkstone, Four Books, and Five Classics looked at each other silently, and they all saw a trace of bewilderment in the eyes of their companions.In the end, he spoke with Jia She's longest pen and ink, and stammered: "Please forgive me, my lord, the servants can't read Chinese characters, this...is it okay to follow Mr. Yu's courtyard?"

"That's too expensive, right? What if Cui Qingtian treats me as a bribe to him?"

Boys: "..." Then the scholars around them will be gone for reference.Master Jing next door, and even Lin Tanhua, the son-in-law of the Jia family who had met several times, were all expensive, not poor.Of course there is one more person they dare not mention.

Seeing this, Jia She sighed: "My lord, my circle of friends seems to be a bit narrow, even you guys are so ignorant!" He never attended any literati banquet even after he was on the test list, and no one met him at the Qionglin banquet. Be friends, and later he was ruthlessly "drunk".

In other words, the generation gap between him and scholars, especially those from poor families, is as wide as the Yangtze River.But there was an order from above to let him entertain his future official master with his heart.

After being silent for a while, Jia Shegan looked at the lobby where the spiders had been patronizing due to no one living there for a long time, "Forget it, let's arrange the children first. It is said that the child of Cui Qingtian's family is 11 years old this year, and is about the same age as Lian'er. "Four years behind, according to the rounding principle, it will be erased and ignored.

With a slight flap of the fan, Jia She said cheerfully: "Pass on my order from the master, take Lian'er to Nancheng to play, and if he likes to play, he will buy a double copy. Also ask the shopkeeper about children's basic necessities, which one sells them?" Buy whatever is best for you.”

"By the way, speaking of children, my lord suddenly had a flash of inspiration, and I have it!" Jia She closed his fan, pointed to the middle of the hall, and said, "I can't go wrong with hanging the statue of Confucius!"

"The left and right couplets..."

"Go ask the staff member Yu to inscribe something about loving the people like a son." Jia She said, "Remember to keep the frame low-key. Don't inlay it with gold and jade."

"As for the others, hand over my name card to visit the bachelors of the Imperial Academy. I will lick my face and go in for reference. You also remember the bright eyes."

"Yes!"

Just when Jia Shen was renovating the courtyard by himself for the first time in his life, and was urging the craftsmen to work overtime, suddenly the yamen servant came to report, panting and pale, "General Jia, it's not good!"

"How many times have you said it, call me my lord, my lord!" Jia She patted the egret on his chest, his eyes were extremely ferocious.

"Yes... my lord." The yamen servant met Jia She's sharp eyes, gasped for breath, and replied: "I tell my lord that the corpse of an unknown woman appeared on the official road in the southern suburbs, please come to the scene. "

Jia She, who was proud of himself as a sixth-rank official, flickered when he heard the words, "Daughter... what's wrong with you?"

"Female, corpse!"

"But one...one..." Jia Amnesty tried to calm himself down: "For a murder case, the official needs to come forward in person? What about arresting the head and foreman? Examining the corpse first according to the old practice!"

"Responding to my lord, because the corpse was on the official road, many people watched the corpse's tragic appearance, which had a bad influence, and also offended the nobles who went to offer incense. The head said that there is something wrong with the initial examination of the corpse, and I hope you can preside over the overall situation."

"...Go to the post station and find out if Master Cui has arrived." After hearing the cause and effect, Jia Amnesty gave an order to the yamen servant weakly, turned his head and said lifelessly, "Prepare the sedan chair."

Before leaving the city gate and entering the official road, Jia She, who was still in the sedan chair, heard a sound from a long distance away, and the loud and solemn avoidance could not suppress the sound that was blown into his ears by the wind. The word—a terrible death!

He... Jia She's calves trembled and he dared not get out of the sedan chair.Even though his home was ransacked in his previous life, he had never seen...a murdered corpse.

"Brother Enzheng, wait for a moment, I'll go and tell you what my duty is." Seeing Jia Amnesty's delay in getting out of the sedan chair, Yan Tutou, who had already come to say a few words to the case, claimed to be Enzheng. man folds his fists in apology.

There are seven officials among the ten under a plaque in the capital, and the remaining three are relatives.He can be the head arrester of Shuntian Fu Yin, nothing else, but he has something to see.This person in front of him is unusual, and I am afraid he has a lot of background.

"You're being polite." Enzheng nodded slightly and replied, following the people's walking, fixed his eyes on the official sedan chair coming.I saw Catcher Yan bent down and talked in a low voice for a long time before the car curtain was lifted slowly, revealing the face of Jia Amnesty, the judge of Shuntian Mansion who came to be in charge.

"True embroidered pillows too." Hearing the uncontrollable whispers of the people around, a man dressed as a scholar next to Enzheng spoke, whispering, with a hint of teasing: "Brother Enzheng, I'm afraid the days ahead will be difficult. "

"Not necessarily."

Enzheng glanced at Jia She, who seemed to be pale with fright, but step by step, he was resolute step by step, and replied in a deep voice to his master and friend Zhong Ping.

Zhong Ping smiled when he heard the words, and glanced at Jia She's overly coquettish face, he always felt that the rumor that Taixing Emperor leaked the test questions to help Jia She, making his prodigal son return, was more credible.

Apart from a face and background, what else does Jia Amnesty have?

===

Jia She, who was almost supported along the way, looked at the surrounding people as much as possible, and said to disperse the crowd: "I have heard that the head of Yan has reported the progress of the investigation of the case. Now everyone, please leave, don't hinder the official business!"

"My... my lord," Yan Butou whispered, "Almost everyone has been driven away. The rest is the old man who reported the case, Chen San, who drove the car. These are all the people in the car, and they are also considered witnesses. The rest Those are the generals of the noble family. Today and tomorrow are the birthdays of the Guoqing Temple, so many noble people have made an appointment to offer incense."

Jia She's expression froze, and he immediately covered his face with a fan: "Lao Yan, I will remind you earlier that my lord's official authority is gone. By the way, it's just the Wang family in Beijing?"

"Also... also because there are bigger characters, and villains are dull."

"A good start!" Jia She took back his fan, knocked on his forehead with the handle, and whispered: "You follow the old routine first. I have already sent someone to the post station to see if the legendary Qingtian has arrived. If not , This case is referred to the Dali Temple Inspectorate of the Ministry of Criminal Justice!" The only ones who can get the old concubine to come forward are the few in the palace, and they will definitely feel bad luck if they go out to offer incense and see the corpse.

Yan Butou: "..."

"Understood?" Jia Amnesty glanced at Yan Butou with a sluggish face, and poked the handle of the fan: "Have you not followed my orders? Collect the existing evidence first, and the few witnesses. The class is also well controlled. Make sure that when someone takes over, all the clues can still be found."

"Forgive the incompetence of the students. Since you are the judge of the Shuntian Mansion, you are also the master of one of the parents, and it is your duty to catch the murderer." Enzheng, that is, Cui Yu, heard the general idea, and said expressionlessly: "And Why make excuses!"

"It's good to know that you are incompetent." Jia Amnesty was talking to Yan Butou, when he heard a voice behind him unexpectedly, looking back at the person who opened his eyes, he had broad shoulders and long arms, a heroic spirit, and a little majesty.

But he doesn't know.

Jia Amnesty murmured about this "witness", and added kindly, explaining: "As human beings, the most important thing is to have self-knowledge. I, Jia Enhou, can't solve the case. If I want to intervene randomly, it's not a drag." When he was away from home, he It's better to speak softly now.

"My lord is really self-aware." Hearing this, Zhong Ping sneered: "Then what can you do based on what your lord sees?"

Jia She hurriedly took out the banknotes from his sleeve, skipped over the two witnesses who were clearly not compatible with the other witnesses, looked at Chen San who was driving the car, and said, "Don't worry, this case will be handed over to Cui Qingtian, the famous little Cui will come for trial. In about two days, Master Cui will take office! In the past few days, you guys..."

Waving the banknote, Jia She said: "Let's stay in prison first. After he investigates and collects evidence, he will let you go home. Then you can share the banknote."

"My... my lord..." Chen San and the others gasped, and they all looked at the banknote in Jia Amnesty's hand.This... This is the first time they have heard of such a good thing.

It was also the first time that the legendary Master Cui heard such a good thing: "...Mr. Jia, can I take a step to speak?"

"You..." Jia She was worried when he heard this, he was trying his best to keep the clues, but the two unknown people caused trouble again.

Seeing Jia She's sombre face, Yan Butou hurriedly said, "Lord Jia, I had an important clue earlier thanks to the help of Brother Enzheng and his friends..."

"Wait, Enzheng?" Jia She's eyelids twitched, and he took out the resume that he carried with him recently, flipped through it, fixedly looked at the little portrait on it, and breathed a sigh of relief: "I was scared to death."

Cui Yu, courtesy name Enzheng.

"Students all have a silly face!"

Cui Eunzheng: "...that's me at the age of 17!" I look a little tender.
