What am I thinking when I'm cheating on the male supporting role [Transmigration Book]

From the moment he decided to wait for the opportunity to defect to the King of Yan, Han Jiao was mentally prepared to face a powerful political opponent.

Even if his father is in danger at this moment, he shouldn't be in a mess.

But he was still messed up.

Everything is not ready yet, he doesn't have enough status, he doesn't have any faction, he doesn't even have eyes and ears.

Not to mention saving the father, the safety of the family may not be guaranteed at this moment.

Although he swore to his mother that King Yan would not stand idly by, but in fact, he still doesn't even know why his father was impeached, so how can he prove to King Yan that his father was framed because of a thorough investigation into the crime of murdering a good man?

King Yan probably felt that he put gold on his face in order to save his father.

Thinking of this, Han Jiao does not plan to take the road of King Yan to save his father for the time being.

First try to get in touch with the colleagues in Dali Temple that my father made friends with, and then find out how to dredge the contacts of the presiding officer from his way.

As a family member of the official involved in the case, visiting the officials of Dali Temple carelessly will definitely bring trouble to others, and he has to ask outsiders to pass on the letter.

In the case of insufficient power and status, if you want to clear this road, you can only rely on the power of money.

After Han Jiao finished eating, he immediately asked his mother to hand over all the family savings to him.

Get ready to break the bank and give it a go.

His mother brought all the banknotes, cash and even the dowry and head jewelry in front of him, and he didn't need to calculate carefully. Han Jiao knew at a glance that this little family property was far from enough to dredge all joints.

Seeing her son's silence, Mrs. Han understood in her heart, and asked him in a low voice, "How much do you want in total? Mother, go and ask your third aunt."

"How much does my aunt's family have, does mother know?" Han Jiao asked.

Mrs. Han thought for a while: "Three 5000 taels are still available."

Han Jiao concentrated on the calculations. According to Dachu's purchasing power, this kind of family background is equivalent to a rich man with several million fortunes, and his assets are not considered strong.

"Mother, how much do you think Uncle is willing to lend us?"

"Your father's life and death are at stake. Of course, you can take as much as you can! Ajiao, tell me how much you need?"

"Can I borrow 1000 taels?"

Seeing that his mother's face turned pale in an instant, Han Jiao hurriedly comforted him: "It's not necessary to spend so much, but you have to be prepared, the more the better, the unused part will be returned first, and the used part will be returned to the son in the future. Return them together."

Mrs. Han frowned, thought for a moment, and said in a trembling voice: "Your uncle's business is still counting on your father, and he must try his best to help us, but... it's just that 1000 taels is too much, and they may not even have cash at home. For this amount, you may need to sell some stock, even if you can get it, your uncle may not be willing, it's too much."

Han Jiao thought for a while, then nodded: "Tomorrow, you should go to your aunt's house first, and tell your uncle that my father has been detained for review, so his official position will not be guaranteed, and he has to manage everywhere, so we need to prepare more money in case something happens. need."

Mrs. Han said anxiously: "Your father's life and death are at stake, so lightly said, how can he borrow more money?"

Han Jiao shook his head: "Although my uncle relied on the help of his parents to start the family, but he values ​​profit over righteousness, and the crime is serious, so it is impossible for him to borrow more. If uncle helps, it is hoped that his father will return to his post and continue to be his backer. In fact, the case involves Elder Li Ge, in the eyes of others, I'm afraid father... In short, you do as I say."

Mrs. Han is also a shrewd person, her son understood after a few touches, and she couldn't help being surprised. She only knew her son was good at writing and ink, but she didn't know that her son was so knowledgeable about people and the world.

She raised her hand to touch her son's face, and said with a sob: "Ajiao, you have really grown up. Mother can't bear to put you in danger for such a big matter, but..."

Han Jiao held his mother's hand and said firmly: "Mother, take care of your health and don't worry too much. This is the greatest support for your son. From childhood to adulthood, you won't let me help you with small chores at home. Useless, then you raised me for nothing."

The next day when he came to the Hanlin Academy as usual, Han Jiao immediately noticed that several colleagues were peeking at him with strange eyes.

The news in the officialdom really spread quickly.

Zhou Hao came to the guard room one step later than him. As soon as he entered the door, he gave Han Jiao a worried look and walked to his seat.

Han Jiao held his breath, and waited for Zhou Hao to finish his official duties before finding a chance to talk to him.

Zhou Hao was one of the auspicious scholars who were called to go to the study together in the incident of the prince’s plagiarism theory. Because he heard the emperor’s attendant read Han Jiao’s theory with his own ears, and saw Han Jiao’s calm demeanor throughout the whole process. From that day on, he He admired Han Jiao from the bottom of his heart.

In the past few days, Zhou Hao and Han Jiao became closer and closer, but unexpectedly, such a thing happened to the Han family.

It was a shameful private matter that his father was interrogated and imprisoned by the Ministry of Criminal Justice. Zhou Hao didn't know whether Han Jiao would like to mention it to others, so he didn't take the initiative to talk to him. Seeing Han Jiao looking for him, he immediately stood up a little uneasy.

"Brother Sheng Guang, take a step to talk." Han Jiao asked Zhou Hao to speak outside the guard's room in a low voice.

Zhou Hao's father is an official of the Ministry of Rites. Although he has nothing to do with the Ministry of Punishment, he is qualified to participate in the early court. He should know exactly what happened yesterday.

Since Mr. Han’s impeachment charge has not yet been proved, it was not published in the court newspaper, and his father was imprisoned by the Ministry of Criminal Justice and could not be contacted, so Han Jiao didn’t even know why his father was convicted.

Seeing Han Jiao's outspokenness, Zhou Hao immediately revealed everything he knew——

The official officials impeached Han Jiao's father, Han Yushen, for two crimes:

The reason was that half a year ago, when the Ministry of Industry was building the Jiangnan Palace, a building material merchant in Jiangnan sued the supervising eunuch for taking bribes in private, and replaced the building material supplier selected by the imperial court beyond his authority.

When the case was sent to Dali Temple in the capital for retrial, it happened that Han Yushen was the presiding judge.

The case was judged well, and the court also replaced the supervising eunuch. The problem was that after the case was finalized, Han Yushen made another memorial.

In the memorandum, Han Yushen roughly repeated some inside information told him by the Jiangnan building material merchants, that is, the Ministry of Industry selected some overpriced wood, and the reason for the high price of these woods was not that they were superior to other building materials in terms of quality or appearance. It is because its transportation cost is relatively high, which can facilitate some departments to make money in the transportation process.

After the emperor saw it, he immediately decreed to switch to the kind of wood with the same quality, but convenient transportation and low price.

This matter has already been turned over.

The content of the impeachment given by the official department is that Han Yushen's relatives are also in the building materials business. They once wanted to get involved in the construction of the Jiangnan Palace, but because the quotation was too high, they were declined by the supervisor eunuch.

Han Yushen felt dissatisfied because of this, and maliciously framed the supervisor eunuch, which was the first crime.

Second, it was jointly confirmed by many timber merchants that although the quality of the timber originally ordered for the construction of the Xinggong Palace was similar to that of the cheap one, it was actually slightly better in moisture resistance and more suitable for the climate in the south of the Yangtze River. Although the transportation cost was relatively high, But after it is built, the maintenance cost is relatively low.

The famous official impeached Han Yushen for defrauding the Holy Majesty in the name of saving money for the court, but in fact he was short-sighted and ignorant, causing even greater losses.

After hearing these two charges, Han Jiao's blood turned to ice.

The old foxes in the officialdom were a thousand times more terrifying than he had imagined.

Obviously he was framed because of a thorough investigation of Mr. Li Ge's minions, and the charges he was charged had nothing to do with the crime of killing Liang and committing crimes.

Besides these two charges, the first one is simply a joke. Who doesn't know that Han Yushen is an upright official, and he doesn't even accept Bing Jing Tan Jing Jing.

Besides, since the bribery case of the supervisor and eunuch was finalized, it means that there were all witnesses and material evidence at that time, and it was an iron case!

In the mouth of this shameless official, it became "I heard that Han Yushen was avenging his relatives and framed the internal officials."

This one charge alone is okay, but the second one is terrible.

The second charge is directly wanting Master Han's life.

Because if this statement is true, then the emperor will definitely be furious.

For a project as big as the construction of the palace, if the wrong building materials were really used because of a small loss, how disgusting would the emperor be?

Moreover, the emperor would feel that he was deceived by Han Yushen's few words at the beginning, which was detrimental to his wisdom and humiliated.

Even if the case is the lightest, if Master Han is judged to be negligent, the emperor will find a chance to kill him, or even his whole family, afterwards.

In fact, this second charge is only "heard".

The spokesperson found a group of fake experts from nowhere, and forcibly said that the moisture resistance of wood is slightly better. In fact, this is impossible.

For such a big difference, when the building materials were changed, there must have been multiple investigations and confirmation by specialized officials. It is impossible for such a fatal difference to suddenly appear now.

These two crimes are all speculation, but the imperial court's supervisory censor and the six divisions have the right to gossip.

The king's law clearly stipulates that they "will not be convicted of falsehoods; if they are deceived by the knowledge, they will mislead the country." In the words of later generations, they would rather kill a thousand by mistake than let one go. This is simply the logic of robbers.

"Xiaobai?" Seeing that Han Jiao's face was pale, Zhou Hao stretched out his hand to support him, persuading him, "There is no evidence for these two charges, and there have been conclusive conclusions before. I think the Ministry of Punishment will not embarrass your father. It's just a formality. You don't have to worry too much."

Han Jiao's heart was twisted like a knife. In such a case, whose fist is hard, who has the right to decide?

The mastermind behind the speech officer was Mr. Li Ge, and Han Jiao's father had no backer behind him, so there was no need to guess as a result.

Zhou Hao didn't have much experience in the world, so he didn't know the real reason for Mr. Han's impeachment. Of course, he thought that the case would be judged by fair evidence, but Han Jiao knew that the case might be hopeless.

People's hearts are so fragile, Zhou Hao saw Han Jiao staggered and nearly fell to the ground, he hurriedly helped him back to Zhilu, handed him tea and fanned him, but he didn't see any improvement after a long while, so he hurriedly asked the academician in charge for leave, and sent Han Jiao back to the mansion up.

After leaving the palace gate, Han Jiao gradually regained his strength. When Zhou Hao helped Zhou's carriage, his face was still pale, but he regained his composure.

Han Jiao knew that he must not let his mother see his current appearance, so he asked the coachman to take him to a teahouse in Changming Lane for a rest.

Sitting alone in the private room of the teahouse for a long time, Han Jiao thought about all the possibilities of counterattack, but in the end there was only one possible way——

Dedicated to King Yan in advance.

In fact, even if it is proved that Mr. Han was murdered because of the crime of killing a good man and committing crimes, King Yan may not be willing to make great efforts to save a pawn, because these two charges are too difficult and may offend the emperor.

To save his father, Han Jiao must make King Yan feel that his talent is worth the price.

The author has something to say:

Xiaobai: It’s too difficult for me. I’m still a baby!
