Feudal scholar-bureaucrats reborn: marrying a husband and marrying a virtuous

For strained muscles and bones, Jingshiying has a special set of massage techniques, which can definitely make people want to live and die.

Lin Fangxu was lucky enough to experience it once. When Jiang Shiyun said he would give him a press, he still thought 'how could such a good thing happen', so he readily accepted.

As soon as I pressed it for the first time, I regretted it, but it was too late.

The real husband couldn't admit it, so he could only grit his teeth and hold on, and when he was done, he smiled stiffly and praised: "Xiaoyun's technique is really good. After pressing it, it really feels better."

Jiang Shiyun thought about how his second brother was crying and howling when he gave the second brother time, so he knew it.

She raised her brows, smiled at the corner of her mouth, like a little fox with bad ideas, and said with sly eyes: "Well..., as long as you think it's okay, I'll come back in the afternoon and press it for you again?"

Lin Fangxu froze, and swallowed his saliva reluctantly.

The arrival of Shen Mao in the afternoon allowed Lin Fangxu to escape, but Lin Fangxu really couldn't answer the question of the thief's way.

As a literati made of tofu, he has encountered bandits twice in his two lifetimes. Of course, the bandits he encountered this time are much more powerful than those two bandits in his previous life.

So, in the end, Lin Fangxu continued to recuperate on the recliner, and Jiang Shiyun followed Shen Mao to the prince to answer.

By the time Lin Fangxu was able to take a leisurely walk along the garden, it was already the second day after Jiang Shiyun replied.

Regarding the Kang family's affairs, he had heard some from other people, but he didn't pay much attention to it. After all, there are so many smart and ambitious people, and there is no shortage of him.

However, Lin Fangxu obviously underestimated himself. His Royal Highness is still very optimistic about his injury. Before the gauze was removed, he was called to the meeting hall again.

Lin Fangxu and Jiang Shiyun sat below, looking at the bearded man who was talking excitedly, it was a little inconceivable.

So Kong Ge's son looks like this!He is not at all like Kong Ge, who is still handsome in his old age, and even more like his grandson.

No wonder the grandson stayed with him, and the son was sent to the horizon.

Of course, these were all ridicules in Lin Fangxu's heart. When he came back to his senses, the magistrate Kong was talking about Kang Yongan's first wife.

Speaking of it, the ancestors of the Kang family were similar to Lin Fangxu's family, but to be honest, they were even worse. After all, not every family can produce a famous official.

The real prosperity of the Kang family began with Kang Song. This old boy is very good at making a living by reselling.

Probably because they had tasted the benefits of business, and later they worked hard to marry the eldest son to the only daughter of a sea merchant. Since then, the Kang family has also started to travel at sea.

Speaking of this, the prefect of Kong pretended to be mysterious and asked: "Speaking of it, guess what the Kang family's sea business is able to do so big, what exactly is it?"

After asking, he looked at everyone with an expression that you must not have guessed.

Lin Fangxu has been unable to complain, how can he be a dignified magistrate, talking like a storyteller, not to mention, have you forgotten that His Royal Highness is still here!

"Cough...!" Sure enough, His Highness the Crown Prince was unhappy, and gave the incomprehensible magistrate a look.

Kong Zhifu touched his nose in embarrassment, and said solemnly: "The Kang family's business can be so big. On the one hand, the second son Kang Yongnian became a Jinshi and became an official; on the other hand, this old man Kang is really good at business. talent."

Lin Fangxu retorted in his heart, according to what he had seen and heard in his previous life, old man Kang's ability was only better than the average person, and there might be someone else who was really talented.

"but……!"

A turning point from the prefect of Kong interrupted Lin Fangxu's various speculations, and he only heard the Shaanxi man say in an infinitely contemptuous tone: "Kang Yong'an's father-in-law is his first wife and an only daughter, and he has a bad relationship with the clan. , married most of his net worth, and there are dozens of boats in Guanghai, this Kang family..., to put it bluntly, it was built on the dowry of his daughter-in-law."

"In the end, Kang Yongan...cough cough!"

Probably because he was too excited, the magistrate Kong choked a few times, and after giving himself some comfort, he continued: "

In the end, this Kang Yong'an was not a joke, the concubine was older than the legitimate son, and he wanted to covet his daughter-in-law's dowry.Oh... By the way, the girl from Ouyang's family married his concubine Kang Ziqi.He said that Kang Ziqi was raised under his wife's name, but his wife left early, who knows? "

Zhu Xianzong waited for him to finish speaking, then expressionlessly said, "Is what Mr. Kong said... related to today's case?"

The prefect of Kong saw the smiles on other people's faces, and said embarrassingly: "Although it seems unrelated, maybe we can still find some connection."

"Humph……"

Zhu Xianzong snorted coldly, and after giving him a blank look, he asked Wang Xiaowen: "Tell me about the results of the past few days, what should we do next, we need to discuss a regulation."

Wang Xiaowen got the order, and concluded: "In the past few days, Ouyang Qing first identified the brother of Kang Ziqi's concubine among the pirates who committed the murder, and a steward next to him. Then Commander Chen personally went out to arrest people. Now the steward and Bai All the brothers of the family have already confessed and stated that they listened to Kang Ziqi's order. The thieves who later hunted down Ouyang Qing and fought against Lin Liushou and others should also be ordered by the Kang family."

"but……"

Wang Xiaowen hesitated for a moment, then continued: "However, the few people did not admit that they had colluded with the pirates, they only said that it was a personal enmity, and it was some local ruffians and Kang family thugs who did it."

"There are so many people in my Ouyang family who died, even if he didn't get in touch with the pirates, he, Kang Ziqi, will have to pay for it!" Ouyang Qing suffered from such a catastrophe, he was a little out of shape, and when he yelled this sentence, he was already hoarse.

Seeing the hatred in his eyes, everyone in the room felt sympathetic, but no one dared to express their views. Even the most scruple-speaking Kong Zhifu bowed his head and drank his tea very quietly.

It is up to the crown prince how to accuse the Kang family of crimes. Personal grievances are not the same as accusations of conspiring with pirates.

For a moment, the whole room fell silent, waiting for His Highness the Crown Prince's answer.

The prince glanced at everyone, all of them were sitting upright, the man wrapped in gauze leaning on the chair was particularly eye-catching.

So the prince asked by name: "Speaking of which, Mr. Lin is also a victim in this case. I don't know what you think."

My point of view……?

Lin Fangxu thought to himself, "My opinion is to capture Kang Ziyou and let me chop a few knives myself." '

Of course, I just thought about it in my heart. After all, everyone had been discussing for a long time, but Kang Ziyou was not mentioned. This guy is hiding a lot.

So Lin Fangxu stood up, and he was the first to ask, "When Jiang Baihu and I came to Ningbo, the third son, Kang Ziyou, who brought the Kang family to chase after Mr. Ouyang, why didn't you doubt it?"

"What do you doubt?" the magistrate Kong didn't drink tea at this time, puzzled.

Lin Fangxu looked at him silently, then spread his hands and said, "Didn't Master Kong say that Kang Yongan doted on his concubine and killed his wife? Can Kang Ziyou care so much about his brother-in-law?!"

"Hey..., is this the same surname after all? This Kang Ziyou is not well-known in Ningbo City. His grandfather pressured him to help. Can he help? No, you boy, what are you doing with such nonsense? It has nothing to do with the case. Huh?" Zhifu Kong blamed with wide eyes.

When Lin Fangxu met Kang Ziyou in his previous life, he was already in charge of the Kang family. Even the merchants in Guangdong, Guangxi, and Minzhe seemed to follow his lead. Unexpectedly, he is still not famous now.

Once again, Lin Fangxu couldn't help but sigh in his heart, 'It's hidden deep enough! '.

Zhu Xianzong glanced at Kong Anxian, who was bearded and staring, and motioned for Lin Fangxu to continue.

Lin Fangxu ignored the magistrate Kong's resentful expression of being mistreated by favoritism, and continued: "I have inquired with Commander Chen before, and combined with Mr. Chen's opinion, I have a guess."

"Speak up if you have something to say, don't keep it up!" Kong Zhifu said with a dark face.

So Lin Fangxu cut to the chase and said, "The culprits who attacked Ouyang's family's fleet must not be the same as the thieves on Hexin Island."

Zhu Xianzong glanced at Commander Chen, and Commander Chen immediately spoke to confirm: "The wounds of the victims of Ouyang's family are mottled and messy, and most of them died after being cut in multiple places, but the thieves who intercepted Lin Liushou, one by one

His moves are aimed directly at the vital points, and he is extremely ruthless. He is definitely a person who has been licking blood for many years. "

After listening to Commander Chen, Zhu Xianzong nodded to Lin Fangxu, to the effect that 'continue to talk about your conjecture. '

Lin Fangxu guessed again: "Since the thieves are not in the same group, who do they take orders from? The former takes orders from Kang Ziqi, and killing people and stealing goods is out of personal grievances; the latter, the lower officials guess, mostly takes orders from Kang Ziyou. As for the purpose...? The discordant brother hunts down and kills witnesses, and he uses pirates, do you think he wants the Kang family well? Or does he not want the Kang family well?"

The prefect of Kong still found it inconceivable, and retorted: "How could it be Kang Ziyou? I heard that this kid is not good at studying and doing business. How did he know pirates? You still think it is old man Kang."

Lin Fangxu smiled at this time, waved his hands and said indifferently: "Isn't this all the conjecture of the lower officials, Mr. Kong, don't worry about these things that have nothing to do with today's events."

Kong Anxian choked, and glared at him bitterly, this cunning boy!

All the people present were smart people, who didn't know what was really going to be discussed today, could it really be the case of Ouyang's family!

Lin Fangxu glanced at Ouyang Qing with a disturbed face, feeling a little sympathetic in his heart. At this moment, he was standing there with his back bent and supported by others, stubbornly wanting to wait for the result.

After Ouyang Qing woke up, what did it matter if the Kang family colluded with pirates?What His Royal Highness really cares about is how to dispose of the Kang family, which is more beneficial to the reorganization of the city's ship tax.

Perhaps it was because Lin Fangxu's expression was too obvious, Zhu Xianzong followed his gaze to look at Ouyang Qing.

After withdrawing his gaze, Zhu Xianzong was silent for a long time, as if he was thinking and calculating various gains and losses.

The world is full of people who are good at calculating. Zhu Xianzong believes that the boy who is whispering to the Jiang family brother probably already knows how to convict to maximize his benefits, but he can't say it because he is not in his position and he will not seek his own affairs.

After Lin Fangxu quietly complained to Jiang Shiyun about the leg pain, he murmured in his heart, "His Royal Highness must have a scale in his heart at this time, first put Kang Ziqi on it, weigh it, then put Kang Ziyou on it, and weigh it again... …

"The Kang family dared to attack sea caravans in the coastal waters and engage in pirates and bandits. No matter who instigated it, Commander Chen immediately led people to blockade the Kang family, arrested Kang Ziqi and Kang Ziyou brothers, and ordered Kang Yongan and Kang Song came to the yamen for questioning." Zhu Xianzong ordered.

'It seems that the entire Kang family has weight in His Highness's heart! ' Lin Fangxu thought so.

"Wang Zhanshi, please go to the Zhejiang Navy Yamen for me, and ask their commander-in-chief. This pirate can come and go freely. If his commander-in-chief doesn't have an account, I will join him in dereliction of duty!" Zhu Xianzong said coldly soundtrack.

'Sure enough, no matter how high you stand, how big the layout will be!Obviously, the Kang family is not in the eyes of the prince either! Lin Fangxu sighed with emotion, and at the same time spurned himself for being narrow-minded.
