Cannot attack objects

Concubine Yu Gui thought well, Zhong Shao was indeed eaten to death by Su Mo, from various aspects, it was true.

After leaving the palace and returning to the mansion, Zhong Shao handed over all the accounts and treasury keys to Su Mo on the same day, fulfilling the promise he made to the eldest princess before marriage.In the evening of that day, Zhong Shao was still full of energy and wanted to fight back, finishing what he couldn't finish when he got up in the morning.It's a pity that she can't escape the teasing of her sweetheart. Su Mo only needs to gently push her, and she will lie down again in a daze.

sorry?Pity!But apart from regret, I didn't feel anything else, and I was still willing after all.

After going back and forth like this, the two were sticky for a few days, and Zhong Shao was beaten again by his father-in-law and mother-in-law when he returned to Ning, and the marriage was successfully concluded.After that, no matter what, the young couple lived behind closed doors.

Unfortunately, the days of leisure and relaxation will not last too long.

Su Mo had already taken over all the property in the eldest princess's mansion, and then due to various reasons, he finally came into contact with the power in the eldest princess's hands, and continued to deepen.Not to mention Zhong Shao, after all, she still has an official position, she took a leave of absence to accompany Su Mo to guard the spirit, and later she took a leave of absence to get married, so she stayed at home for almost two months.

Two months is not short, at least it is enough for Dali Temple to review the criminal evidence that Zhong Shao brought back from Suzhou before, and put Suzhou governor Qi Lei on trial. Whether the two of them found any clues about the tribute in Suzhou, the governor of Suzhou could not escape death.

Zhong Shao didn't want to get involved in the Prince's East Palace anymore, so the marriage leave was suspended until Chen and Li returned to Beijing.These two people are upright and upright, but they are not really unreasonable, especially Mr. Li is more tactful, so even before Zhong Shao ran back to the capital from Suzhou without even saying hello, and they also became friends by the way. After that, Beijing also handed over a famous post to come to visit at the first time.

The matter of Suzhou is not over yet, and Zhong Shao has not yet been reinstated, so naturally he is still in charge of the case of the governor of Suzhou.Chen and Li knew that Zhong Shao was still their immediate boss in this case, so they didn't go past her, and directly handed over the criminal evidence found later to Dali Temple.

Coincidentally, Zhong Shao counted the days and felt that the people from Dali Temple should have rushed to Suzhou to imprison him, and it was almost time for them to return to Beijing, so they had been waiting for some time.Finally, seeing the two of them sent famous invitations to pay a visit, she immediately asked them to be invited into the mansion.

While asking people to invite them into the mansion, Zhong Shao also greeted them personally, and seeing the two of them, he cupped his hands and said: "The incident happened suddenly that day, and I hurried back to Beijing before discussing it with the two adults, so please forgive me. "

This can only be heard as a polite remark. Chen and Li have been in the officialdom for many years, so they naturally knew, so they hurriedly said "Don't dare", and then said "Congratulations" to Zhong Shao's marriage, and then the three entered the main hall together Sit down.

Soon after the three sat down, a maid served tea and snacks, and then all the servants in the main hall withdrew, leaving the three alone to discuss matters in the hall.

Zhong Shao didn't mention the matter of letting go in advance, he picked up his teacup and took a sip, then asked naturally: "The two adults have worked hard these days, I don't know how things in Suzhou are going now, do you have a charter?"

Being an official in the court and going out to do things, many times the things are done by the people below, but the credit often does not fall to them.Chen and Li's official positions in Dali Temple are not considered low, but they have encountered this kind of thing many times, so there is no difference in expression, Master Li opened his mouth and said: "Don't worry, Duke, although there are not many tributes. It’s evidence, but I’ve already found some clues.”

Zhong Shao raised his eyebrows when he heard the words, fortunately Qi Lei had sworn that he had handled it cleanly that day, but in the end, under many obstacles, the capable people of Dali Temple finally found out the clues.

I was a little worried that the matter of the tribute would be involved with the eldest princess again, Zhong Shao asked calmly: "This is very good, I will be able to explain to His Majesty later. I just don't know, what did the two adults find out? "

The two of Chen and Li are not involved in party disputes, so they have less worries when investigating the case and speaking. Mr. Li didn't hide anything, and immediately replied: "There are not many clues found. It seems that it is the governor of Suzhou. Stealing dragons and turning phoenixes, pocketing the tributes. It’s just that the whereabouts of the tributes are not yet clear, and the clues are broken. It may not be easy to find them back.”

Zhong Shao listened and nodded, didn't say anything, only said to the two of them: "The matter of the tribute is very involved, and if one is not careful, it will bring disaster to the whole family. Qi Lei must also be very careful. The two adults can find out these have It is not easy. The matter of recovering the tribute should not be rushed for a while, but the criminal evidence we have collected now is enough to dismiss Qi Lei from office and put him in prison, and even his head fell to the ground.”

After hearing this, Mr. Chen asked: "After I returned to Beijing, I heard from my colleagues in Dali Temple that they said that the Duke of the county returned to Beijing because he had handed over to Dali Temple the evidence that the governor of Suzhou was corrupt and perverted the law. I don't know... ..."

Before Master Chen finished speaking, Master Li gently tugged at his sleeve, signaling him not to ask any more questions.

Zhong Shao blinked, but didn't care about this, and casually explained the confusion for the two of them: "It's Suzhou Sima Qu Hengzhou. He noticed Qi Lei's illegal deeds during his tenure, so he secretly collected some criminal evidence, and was later arrested. Qi Lei found out and secretly sent someone to hunt him down. We met him on the way from Beijing to Suzhou, he hid those criminal evidences in Suzhou, I just took them out and presented them to Dali Temple.”

She spoke frankly, not to mention lying, but Chen and Li were still a little dazed—did they meet Qu Hengzhou on the way to Suzhou?Why don't they know? !

Qu Hengzhou is in the capital now, and Su Mo sent someone to send him directly to the Princess Mansion to meet the Eldest Princess that day, and now the Eldest Princess has made arrangements for him.After this incident, Sima, the state capital of his pension, no longer needs to do it, but just wait for the opportunity to find a real vacancy.

Not mentioning the matter of Qu Hengzhou, Zhong Shao discussed with Chen and Li again, and the two of them knew everything, and they explained everything in Suzhou these days.Apart from the matter of tribute, with Liao Xiu's secret help, the two of them also investigated Qi Lei thoroughly, accusing him of various crimes, large and small, ten times is enough for him to die.

At that moment, Zhong Shao thought of a word: The wall is falling and everyone is pushing!

There was some emotion in my heart for a moment, but based on Qi Lei's idea of ​​daring to make tribute, the eldest princess is destined not to tolerate him.This kind of person is too courageous, and the disasters he caused are too great. If he doesn't take care of it early, it will make people sleepless. Fortunately, he has been under the eldest princess's family for only half a year. If they are inextricably linked, then the eldest princess will be hurt at the least this time, and she may even be implicated by someone else.

Many thoughts flashed through her mind, but Zhong Shao's face was calm, she asked: "Have the two adults decided how to write the memorial?"

Master Li said immediately after hearing the words: "The two of us were only ordered to assist the county magistrate in investigating the case. Naturally, I have to ask the magistrate to write this memorial." He took out a volume of documents from his arms, and said: "This is our The Duke of the County can take a look at the process of the investigation, and there are some evidences that he did not bring with him, the Duke of the County can send someone to collect them later.”

He was very knowledgeable, and without the slightest hesitation, he sent the fruits of the two months' hard work to Zhong Shao.Zhong Shao felt a little embarrassed that he was so straightforward, and felt ashamed.

But looking at Mr. Li who presented the document, and then Mr. Chen who was sitting silently at the side, Zhong Shao still took the roll of documents over.She unfolded the document and glanced at the ten lines, then rolled up the document again, and said, "I would like to thank you two adults for this, and I will write down the hard work and achievements of your trip in the memorial."

Zhong Shao's promise was actually the best answer Chen and Li could get.The world is so unfair, she is in charge of this case, both Chen and Li are under her command, no matter whether she is in Suzhou, or whether she neglects her duties and goes back to the capital to get married, as long as the case is found out, it will be her. She deserves credit for arranging it well.Ken specifically mentions the two of them in the memorial, which is considered her acceptance of the two people's affection.

The two got this promise, and they really didn't care about other things, because Zhong Shao specially mentioned this once, and it might become the capital for their promotion in the future.Afterwards, the three of them talked for a long time about the Suzhou matter, and it was not until dusk that Chen and Li left.Zhong Shao unceremoniously sent Xiao Shan and several guards with him, and brought back all the evidence they had collected.

That night, after Zhong Shao and Su Mo had dinner, they went to the study together, and then stayed in the study until midnight.

Chen and Li brought back a lot of criminal evidence, ranging from Qi Lei's clan uncle murdering and stealing money, to slaves in the mansion bullying others, all kinds of cases involved dozens of cases.This is only the evidence that can be found now, and the victim is found, and more cases have already become death cases that cannot be investigated.

Zhong Shao and Su Mo went through all the files and evidence, especially paying attention to the whereabouts of the tribute, and then checked the evidence of Qi Lei's involvement with the dignitaries in Beijing, and found that there was nothing wrong with it, so they were relieved.

The two discussed and wrote the memorial, and Zhong Shao returned to court the next day, and directly reported the case to heaven.

Emperor Taiping was furious immediately, and without waiting to escort him back to Beijing, he ordered Qi Lei to be executed and his three clans to be exiled—although Qu Hengzhou and Chen Li tried their best to collect a lot of evidence, anyone could see it. Come out, Emperor Taiping's anger was more due to the tribute.Because the governor of Suzhou intercepted his tribute not only to take his things, but also to despise his majesty, so it is not a pity to die.

This turmoil ended very quickly, because the evidence presented by Zhong Shao was too clean, and Qi Lei also died very quickly under the order of Emperor Taiping, so that the prince and other people could not find anything to criticize. place.

A few days later, with the help of Concubine Yu, Zhong Shao finally got his wish and was transferred from the East Palace to Dali Temple.

The author has something to say:

Zhong Shao (Tucao): I knew the emperor killed people so simply, why bother to investigate the case so hard...

Emperor Taiping (humming): I am a foolish emperor, I am happy, can you control me?
