Lord Jinyiwei

Liang Si was confused: "What do you mean?"

Su Shun: "Boss, you don't know this. Lao Erdang is the favorite person selected by the emperor among the inner courtiers. Because they are all young and beautiful men, people outside ridicule them as Lao Erdang."

Liang Si was slightly taken aback.

Guo Sheng looked at his face, then turned his head and said slowly to the crowd: "The word Zhang Yong was mentioned by His Majesty, Deqi."

Su Shun frowned: "Virtue, get a date, get a wife; get hope, get a wife, His Majesty is so favored, no wonder Zhang Yong has nothing to worry about."

Guo Sheng took a bite of the chicken, chewed it slowly, and said: "After this incident, Zhang Yong will never be as arrogant as before. Although Manchu Wenwu and Liu Jin didn't say anything about it, they were quite dissatisfied with him. , He is also a smart person, knowing that he can protect his whole body with the favor of one person, and he will definitely not be pampered arbitrarily, but will win His Majesty's favor and win over all the important ministers again."

Su Shun swallowed his food unhappily: "This piece of Yongtu is hateful, Jin Yiwei and the Metropolitan Procuratorate have offended him thoroughly this time, and if he gains power, Jin Yiwei and the Metropolitan Procuratorate will be miserable."

Guo Shenglang smiled: "Zhang Yong's foundation in the court is complicated, and it's not something that can be eliminated. This time, we happened to remove the important dens that he controlled the courtiers. You should be happy, why are you complaining? "

Liang Si raised his glass: "You really should have a drink."

Guo Sheng also toasted, his eyes bright: "If you don't get drunk, you won't return!"

Jin Yiwei has a great reputation in the capital. Over the past few months, various officials have been in and out of Fusiru's own mansion in Beizhen.

"Liang Zongqi, where are you going?"

After Liang Si clicked, he was about to go out when he saw He Liangzhen grinning and waved at him.

Liang Sidao: "Go to duty."

He Liangtian patted him on the shoulder: "Yeah, go on duty."

When Liang Si went out, he still felt the eyes behind him from afar, turned his head, and saw He Liangzhi leaning on the door frame, talking to himself, and then opened his mouth more and more.

"This Xianyun building is really a crime, it has harmed so many people."

"If you want to say that the most wronged person is the widow of the Li family. Her husband was beaten to death and has not yet been buried. She originally wanted to earn some money in the Xianyun Tower, but for no reason she was spotted by the Liu family and raped her." When I went back, I didn’t mention that my reputation was ruined, and I was even involved in a lawsuit. After this torture, I heard that I didn’t have much anger when I was released, and it didn’t take long before I died suddenly at home.”

"This corpse, together with the corpse of her dead husband, has been at home for several days, and it has already become moldy. I heard that the stench from the Liu family can be smelled through the door."

"Oh, the Lius don't have any relatives in the capital, it's really pitiful."

……

Liang Si heard the discussions at the end of the street, and turned to Panyun Village.When I arrived in the village, I made some inquiries and learned about Huang Ming's residence.

Liang Si stood in front of this humble room, and saw the messy room inside through the half-closed door. Corpse insects crawled over the table, and the stench could not be covered by several layers of doors.

Liang Si sighed, pushed open the door, looked around slightly, and saw two corpses.

A corpse has already rotted beyond human shape, and I can only endure the evil stomach, and I can vaguely recognize it as a man. Beside the man is a female corpse. Stay by this male corpse's side, never leave.

Liang Si called the villagers, gave each of them some silver taels, and ordered them to prepare two sets of coffins and the things needed for burial.

The villagers came back soon, and Liang Si helped carry the two corpses, when a piece of paper fell out from between Huang Ming's clothes.

Liang Si picked it up from the ground, glanced at it for an IOU, put it in his arms, and carried the corpse into the coffin.

After being buried in the coffin, Liang Sicai took out the IOU. When the villagers saw it, they thought he was puzzled, and they seemed to explain: "Huang Ming still has the Liu family's debts to pay, and her husband also needs to be buried. At that time, I asked many people to borrow money, but no one No one borrowed it, but Gao Hu borrowed it."

Gao Hu?

The name sounded familiar, Liang Si paused: "Then Gao Hu is quite kind."

The man didn't nod or shake his head, he said noncommittally: "Gao Hu's mother just passed away four months ago, he spent a lot of money on the burial and helped Huang Ming, how could he have any money, but he borrowed Huang Ming's silver five Two, after the incident, Huang Ming was unable to pay back, so Gao Hu helped her find a job in the Xianyun Building. It's just a pity that something happened in the Xianyun Building, and Gao Hu entered the imperial prison, so it may be more or less auspicious."

Liang Si's eyes jumped.

The villagers looked at his deep voice for a long time, and asked, "Master, what else do you want?"

Liang Si woke up startled, and said, "Since Gao Hu is in prison, what about his family?"

The man said: "They are all dead."

Liang Si was astonished, and the man explained: "The fields in our town belong to Mr. Liu. Mr. Liu usually looks down on us farmers, and if he doesn't like him, he beats and scolds him. Gao Hu's only relative——Mother Four months ago, Mrs. Liu accidentally spilled feces on Mr. Liu, and he was severely beaten by Mr. Liu.

Mrs. Liu was old and couldn't bear the beatings, so she died suddenly that night. Since then, Gao Hu has been missing for a long time, and he just returned to the village not long ago, and then he heard that he found a good job in Xianyun Building. "

The more Liang Si listened, the more frightened he became, he turned around abruptly.

Liu Yi went to Xianyun Tower almost every day, every time Gao Hu met him, what was he thinking?Have you ever had murderous intentions?How did he get into Xianyun Building?Was it a coincidence that Huang Ming met Liu Yi?

It's not that simple!

As soon as Liang Si just arrived at Fusi in Beizhen, He Liangzhi smiled and said: "General Manager Liang, you brought a person from the expert factory not long ago, you try to get him to leave as soon as possible, and you will stay in the prison all day and refuse to go out. .”

Liang Si was still in his thoughts, startled for a moment, then nodded.

I only heard that other people don't want to enter the imperial prison, but there are people who refuse to go out?

Liang Si followed the jailer into the Imperial Prison, where hundreds of men from the Xianyun Building were still locked up. When Liang Si and the jailer walked over, the voices of screaming came and went. Only one person, Liang Si noticed, was different from the others. He didn't complain, just stayed quietly in the cell, keeping his head down all the time.

Liang Si passed by this person, and the jailer took Liang Si to Wang Shouren's cell.

Liang Sidao: "Open the door."

The jailer glanced at Wang Shouren, who was behind him, and said, "The door of this room has been opened long ago, and the villain has called him out several times, but he ignored no one and didn't go out, just sitting here."

Liang Si pushed the door, but it really wasn't locked, Liang Si went in and said, "Wang Shouren."

Wang Shouren didn't answer, but turned his back to Liang Si.

Liang Si doubted, "Did you torture him?"

The jailer: "General Banner, you told us not to use torture, how dare we?"

Liang Si quickly walked in front of Wang Shouren. There was no wound on his body, and there were no holes in his drooping fingertips. He was even full of vigor and piercing eyes.

The jailer glanced at Wang Shouren aggrievedly: "Wang Shangshu has also come several times, and they all thought that we ordered the prison to use torture."

It has always been only the imperial edict that makes people suffer for nothing, but today they are slandered, the jailer feels unspeakable pain.

Liang Si followed Wang Shouren's gaze and looked up - it was a window.

The windows are sealed all the year round, and the cobwebs are thickly knotted. A few spiders waved their claws in a mighty way. They crawled over the places where the dripping water was dripping from the cracks in the windows, and climbed over the cracked walls, eagerly looking for with food.

Liang Si glanced at him and lowered his head: "Wang Shouren, you can't just stay in the prison. Now that the case has been investigated, your father is also at home waiting for you to go back. He has been promoted to Minister of the Ministry of Officials and will leave for Nanjing soon. You Or hurry back."

Wang Shouren's eyes trembled, and he frowned for a moment, looked away, and turned his eyes to Liang Si: "Can I come back after I go out?"

Liang Si was stunned, and said: "You still have an official position, and the case delayed your appointment, so you should leave immediately now."

Wang Shouren frowned tightly, and muttered for a long time: "I don't know when I will come back..."

Liang Si: "Be at peace with the situation, where can't a real man flex his muscles?"

Wang Shouren's eyes dimmed.

Liang Si wanted to lift him who was sitting cross-legged, but he shook his head, but did not get up, then shifted his gaze to the window, and said stubbornly: "I still have questions that I haven't figured out... I don't understand. Bamboo and water are drawn every day, bamboo is still bamboo, water is still water; I am exhausted for the court, but the court is still chaotic, and I have ended up like this..."

Liang Si was silent for a while, pulled him up vigorously, and said: "It is better to travel thousands of miles than to read thousands of books. If you want to know, I will tell you where you are going."

Wang Shouren looked dazed, and was dragged out of the prison by Liang Si.

Liang Si sent someone to escort him back to Wang Shangshu's residence.

Turn around and ask the jailer, "Who was that person who kept his head down and didn't speak when we passed by just now?"

The jailer: "Gao Hu, he is very strange. From the first day he was arrested, he didn't cry or make trouble, and no one visited him."

Liang Si frowned and pondered.

The jailer said, "My lord, what's the matter?"

"Bring over the shopkeeper of Xianyun Building."

"Yes."

In front of the prison trial desk.

The jailer kicked the shopkeeper to the ground. Liang Si sat on the desk and said coldly, "Do you know Gao Hu?"

"know."

"What does he do?"

"The handyman."

"Since when did you hire and why?"

"The villain doesn't remember... um..." He punched hard on the back, "On the second day of April. There was a clerk who stole from a customer, so we fired him. He came to apply for the job the next day, and he seemed to be very hardworking. , we hired."

"That guest is Liu Yi?"

The shopkeeper raised his head in surprise and nodded.

"How did the incident of stealing things happen? How do you determine that the guy stole it?"

"On the first night of April, Mr. Liu brought a few girls over to play. Later, after getting drunk, he slept here. We sent a buddy and a buddy brought by Mr. Liu to stay outside the door in case Liu What do you need, Mr. Liu? When Mr. Liu woke up early in the morning, he yelled that he was missing the Linglong Wuming fan given by the emperor. Later, we found the fan on the man we sent outside the door, and Mr. Liu's man also pointed out that he had a ghost Sneakily entered Mr. Liu's room."

"Who is the designated guy and the designated guy?"

"Cao An, after being laid off, he moved goods at a grain store on Dongcheng Second Street; Wang Li."

Liang Si's eyes jumped.

"Where's Huang Ming? How did she get into Xianyun Building?"

"Huang Ming came here on July [-]th and shouted to introduce her."

"What is Huang Ming doing?"

"do the washing up."

"Since she was washing dishes in the back kitchen, how could she come to the front hall? Was she still seen by Liu Yi?"

"Gao Hu asked for leave that day, so he asked Huang Ming to help take care of it. Maybe he saw it at that time."

Liang Si rested his chin on his hands and meditated. All the characters were connected together by an invisible net. He waved his hand to let the jailer take the shopkeeper back.
