The first paparazzi in the Red Chamber
Chapter 31 Chapter 1 Paparazzi
Song Xi agreed.
The two then drove to Wang's house.
Before getting out of the car, Jia Amnesty told Song Xi to go in whichever direction and look down more after entering.
Song Xi smiled: "What's the key to buying, just tell me what you're looking for."
"The place where the corpses are hidden," Jia Amnesty rubbed his chin, and added rigorously, "If there is any."
"Do you suspect that Wang Ziteng hid the corpse in his own mansion after murder? It is possible. He is a military general, full of evil spirits, courageous, and familiar with the art of war. Dangerous places are the safest. He buried the corpse under his eyelids It's not uncommon either. One saves effort, and the other is safety that can be seen every day." Song Xi analyzed.
"You and I agree."
Jia Amnesty then said that he had just pondered over two reasons, and asked Song Xi how it was to visit the Wang family with such a reason.
Song Xi shook his head and vetoed, "It's too deliberate, so I just said that I would just pass by and give me a melon."
During the Duanyang Festival, people in the Zhou Dynasty had the custom of giving watermelon and cornstarch to others.It's normal to pass by and give me a melon.
Jia Amnesty nodded, got out of the car first, and sent his followers to knock on the gate of Wang's house with watermelons in their hands.
As soon as the Wang family heard that Song Xi was in the car, they dared not be negligent. After picking up the melons, they asked Wang Ziteng to wait a while and hurriedly reported to Wang Ziteng.
After a while, Wang Ziteng led a group of people out of the gate. Seeing Jia Amnesty, he hurriedly asked him if Song Xi had really come.
"Master Song specially rewarded me for saving the fifteenth prince today. I just stopped by, and I mentioned you by the way—"
"Thank you!" Wang Ziteng didn't listen to the following. After confirming that Song Xi was in the carriage, he hurried towards the carriage with big strides, and then greeted and saluted loudly.
Song Xi got out of the car.
"I happened to be passing by, so I asked someone to give you a melon. Don't be disgusted by Mr. Wang. Now the melon has already been delivered, so there is no need to mobilize people like this, we will leave now."
Wang Ziteng hastily kept people away, "Since we've already arrived at the door, I'd like to invite Mrs. Song to give you some thin noodles, and then go into the mansion and have a cup of tea before leaving."
Song Xi hesitated for a while, then Fang nodded in agreement.
Wang Ziteng led the way, Song Xi stood shoulder to shoulder with him, and Jia Amnesty followed into the door.
After eating tea, Wang Ziteng made a fuss about treating Song Xi with wine.Song Xi quickly refused, saying that he could not turn his back on the customer, and Jia Amnesty was the one who should be rewarded today.
Wang Ziteng turned to look at Jia She, "Then—"
"I can't drink wine now. If you are so enthusiastic, why don't you take us for a walk in your garden?"
Wang Ziteng saw that Song Xi had no intention of vetoing it, so he quickly agreed.No matter what the method of hospitality is, as long as it can keep Song Xi for a while.
The group of three took a few entourages sporadically, and wandered around the back garden of the Wang family.
The Wang family's garden is not as exquisite and artistic as the Song Mansion, but it has a majestic momentum, and every scene is complete.For example, the bamboo forest is densely packed, and it is a large area, the pond is also very large, and the water pavilion is much more spacious than other places.
Song Xi walked more than half of the garden, and followed what Jia She said, and looked at the ground, but he didn't see any traces of new digging.
Jia Amnesty covered his stomach, then apologized to the two of them, and left.Zhu Mao and four other secret guards disguised as servants also followed him.
There was a young servant from the Wang family leading the way, and when Jia She entered the hut, Zhu Mao instructed the young servant to make tea.
Zhu Mao was embarrassed and whispered to him: "Our master is very fond of keeping in good health recently, so he developed a strange problem. After work, he not only has to clean his hands, but also has to drink a bowl of decoction of red dates and goji berries, and trouble you to go get ready."
Although the boy thought this hobby was strange, he had no choice but to agree.
Jia Amnesty came out immediately and told the four secret guards, "The east side of the garden has been checked, and you divide the work to go to the west and north. Just look at the remote places. If there are any places where the vegetation grows particularly dense, it is different from other places around. It’s very big, remember to tell me too. There’s only one stick of incense, after which you jump in from the back window of the hut to look for me.”
The four secret guards took the order and immediately dispersed quickly.
Song Xi and Wang Ziteng waited at the water pavilion.The prince offered Song Xi the best tea and asked him to taste how it tasted.
Song Xi took a sip, put the tea on the table, and said with a faint smile, "It's okay."
Wang Ziteng immediately regretted his slip of the tongue.Song Xi has never seen anything in the world, never drank any good tea, and he still shows this in front of him.
The prince hurriedly changed his mind, "I'm a rough person, I don't understand these things, I'm not picky about any kind of tea or water. They say this tea is good, but I can't drink it. Mr. Song is knowledgeable and well-informed. So I couldn’t help being curious to know what’s so good about this tea. Sure enough, those people saw that I don’t know how to drink tea, and deliberately made this to deceive me, a vulgar person!”
"This tea is from the cloud and mist of Lushan Mountain. The tea is produced in the steaming clouds and mist. It has a very beautiful rhyme, and it is very suitable for Mr. Wang. Mr. Wang, don't blame the wrong person." Song Xi said.
Prince Tengzuo suddenly realized, and nodded, as if he just knew the origin of this tea.Wang Ziteng shook the tea bowl, looked at the tea soup in the bowl, and said with a sneer, "I'm such a rough person. I've heard people say before that you don't necessarily have to drink this tea to tell whether it's good or bad?"
"The cord is tight, the leaves are tender and even, the fragrance is long-lasting, and the soup is clear and bright, so it can be called a good tea." Song Xi stated in a flat tone. The last time he said this was when he was eight years old.
"There are so many reasons. Mr. Song really has a wide range of knowledge, which is beyond the comparison of vulgar people like me." Wang Ziteng repeatedly clasped his hands in admiration.
Song Xi only raised the corners of his mouth slightly, as a perfunctory compliment.
"What are you talking about?" Jia She rushed back excitedly.
Song Xi looked up at his expression, guessing that there was a result, so he got up and said it was getting late.Jia Amnesty immediately bid farewell to Wang Ziteng.
Wang Ziteng left a few more words, seeing that they insisted on leaving, there was nothing they could do, so he had to send them off enthusiastically.
After listening to Wang Ziteng's story, Li Shi, the wife of Wang Ziteng, was a little worried, "Master was suspected of showing off in front of Mr. Song at first, will it be annoying?"
"What do you know, you woman? He said to me later that he still talked too much. He changed his indifferent attitude at the beginning. Literati are all proud. If you hold him up and let him show off his talents, he will naturally feel that you It's easy to get along with. It doesn't necessarily have to be a poetic charm. You can see why he associates with Jia She, and it's not because Jia She is too stupid, and he can only show his ability when he is next to him." Wang Ziteng said.
After thinking about it, Mrs. Li felt that this might be the reason, so she quickly praised Wang Ziteng for his strength.She smiled and went to beat Prince Teng's shoulders, told her about Wang Shengjing's schooling, and then asked him if he wanted to stay with her tonight.
Wang Ziteng reached out to pick up the tea, took two sips, and then frowned and said tiredly: "Recently, I'm too busy with business, and even the Duanyang Festival, I, as the military envoy of the Beijing camp, can't be free. On the contrary, I'm busier than usual. I have to go out at night to take The generals patrol the streets."
Li's expression immediately flashed disappointment, but he couldn't say much, he just told Wang Ziteng to rest properly and not to tire himself out.
Wang Ziteng let out a "hmm", then got up and said, "I'm going to test my son's homework."
Li Shi wanted to stop him, and wanted to persuade Wang Ziteng to let the child go for the holiday today.Unexpectedly, before she could open her mouth, Wang Ziteng had already strode out.
Wang Shengjing lived in Cuibiyuan on the west side of Wang's back garden. Next door to Cubiyuan was a deserted yard, so the place was very quiet and suitable for him to practice martial arts and study.
Wang Shengjing, who was educated by Wang Ziteng, is both civil and military, and is currently studying in the house.Hearing that his father was coming, his hands trembled in fright, and the pen fell on the copybook.
Wang Ziteng took a look after entering the door, and waved away the maids in the room, "It seems that nothing has been done."
"They said that the news is tight recently and there are no good products. My son must help my father find them as soon as possible." After Wang Shengjing got up, he lowered his head and said to the prince sullenly.
"Useless things."
Wang Ziteng gave Wang Shengjing a hard look, and walked away with his hands behind his back.
……
On the carriage, Song Xi asked Jia Amnesty if he had found anything.
Jia Amnesty rubbed his chin, "Time is tight, I only found some clues, whether it is true or not, we have to wait for the Wang family's spies to confirm it later."
"Is your spy reliable?" Song Xi asked.
Jia Amnesty thought for a while, then shook his head, "It's definitely not like the dead men you raised under your command. The people here rely on self-awareness apart from interests."
Song Xi couldn't help laughing, and pointed at Jia Amnesty, "I think you seem to be hurting me. What kind of talents are the spies you raise. It's really amazing to have a talent like you who can control the three religions and nine streams. Tell me in detail."
"Okay, for the sake of your help, I will teach you a trick. Two points, the first is to show affection, and the second is to move with profit. Let them understand that doing this will not only benefit and make money, but also help Others have become unsung heroes who help justice. In fact, no matter how hard life is for this person and how humble his status is, many people have the dream of being a hero in their hearts. Just look at those three-year-old dolls on the street, all still holding sticks Waving, shouting to hoe the strong and help the weak.
So when you can satisfy them both in terms of money and heart, most people will choose to be willing.There are also those who are unwilling, then they are not within the scope of the snare, and there is no need to deal with it. "
"It's that simple?" Song Xi asked Jia Amnesty in surprise.
Jia She nodded: "Many things are very simple. But it's easier said than done. When it comes to persuading people, you need to find someone with a good mouth. There is someone around me who has this ability, which saves me a lot of trouble. "
Song Xi knew that the person Jia Amnesty was referring to was the black pig who was born as a beggar, so he nodded, agreeing.He had asked people to investigate the black pig worriedly. He has a clean background, a kind heart, a clever man, and a chivalrous heart. He is indeed a talent. No wonder Jia She took a fancy to him.
When Jia Amnesty arrived at Rongfu, he said goodbye to Song Xi and thanked him for his help by the way.Song Xi felt that since the jade pendant could not be delivered, he gave the remaining eight watermelons in the cart behind to Jia Amnesty, and left.
"Master, this melon?" Zhu Mao asked.
"Send it to the old lady." Jia She said.
Zhu Mao agreed, so he changed hands and asked the wives to move to the old lady.
Jia's mother was very happy when she learned that the melon was given by Song Xi, and praised Jia She for having made many friends over the years, and finally got in touch with a decent person.The mother-in-law and daughter-in-law couldn't help but compliment Jia's mother, and by the way, they told about the changes that the old man had undergone in recent months, and praised the old man's changes openly and secretly.
Mother Jia couldn't help being shaken when she heard that these people praised Jia Amnesty.When she was resting in the evening, she talked about the matter with two old women who were close to her, and the women all praised Jia She's kindness in unison.
Jia Mu dismissed them with a frown, and then asked the mandarin ducks who were making the bed.
Yuanyang smiled and said, "I told you a long time ago, but you just don't believe me. Why did you change your mind today?"
"Even you think the boss has changed for the better." Mother Jia frowned and sighed.
Yuanyang: "I don't think that everyone has seen what the old man has done in the past few months. Whether he is good or not, it's not just the servants who say it, but everyone thinks so."
Jiamu gave a complicated "hmm", and after being served by Yuanyang, she sent Yuanyang away impatiently. She didn't need anyone to stay in the room tonight.
The mandarin duck agreed, and then went down.Only one oil lamp was left in the west corner.
Mother Jia sighed for a long time on the bed, then turned back and forth several times.
Early the next morning, Jia Amnesty came to make an appointment with Jia Mu as usual.Today is the day when he will officially go to Yushitai to be on duty, and he should leave soon, so he came directly to pay his respects in his official uniform.
Mother Jia glanced at the eldest son who entered the door. He was wearing a crimson brocade official uniform. Perhaps he was used to plain clothes on weekdays, but now he looked a little brighter.Moreover, the crimson color matched his face very well, highlighting his handsome features and vigorous appearance.Mother Jia couldn't believe that his eldest son, who was about to turn [-], still had such a good-looking appearance.His handsome appearance is only a bit more mature than Jia Lian's, and he doesn't look old at all.Jia's mother also noticed that Jia She was wearing a whitebait bag on his waist, and a very simple round suet jade was hanging on it. He walked like a gentleman, and he walked with a heroic and graceful posture without losing his composure.
Mother Jia squinted her eyes and looked carefully, and found that her eldest son really didn't know when he had lost the demeanor of a real long-term master.
After Jia's mother was stunned, she said to Jia She in a gentle tone: "You go."
Jia Amnesty went.
A woman came to ask how to divide the watermelon sent by Mr. Song yesterday.
Jia Mu said, come and have a taste.She didn't want to eat it at first, but after tasting it, Li Wan and Yingchun all said that the melon was sweet, full of water and still sandy.
Jia Mu has always liked to eat sand meat, so she quickly took a piece to taste for herself, nodded, "it tastes better than the ones in our house."
"Could it be that Mr. Song's family's, even the melons are more delicious than other people's." Li Wan joked.
Wang Xifeng swallowed the melon in her mouth, wiped her mouth with a handkerchief, and said to Li Wan: "Exactly, I heard that there are special melon pickers. When the melons are ready, they will first ask the melon pickers to pick the best ones." Come, send it to the homes of some special adults in the capital, and then sell it outside."
Li Wan nodded in surprise, he didn't expect that even eating a melon would be divided into three or six grades.
Jia Mu smiled: "You can't stop your mouth even if you eat it."
Mrs. Wang is here now.Wang Xifeng hurriedly let her sit down and invited her to eat melons.
Mrs. Wang inserted a piece with a bamboo stick, took a bite, and asked with a smile, "What day is it today? Why is it so early in the morning? Everyone has eaten melons."
"This melon is different. Mr. Song specially kept it when he sent the master back last night." When Mrs. Wang heard that this melon was obtained by Jia She, she shook her hand and threw it on the ground.Mrs. Wang hurriedly concealed the unhappiness on her face, wiped her mouth and smiled, "Look at me, I'm old, and I can't hold things steady with my hands."
"Bah, shut your mouth quickly. You still say you're old, but tell me how to deal with it!" Jia Mu sighed with a smile.
Mrs. Wang is busy apologizing.Seeing that Mother Jia was very happy, she asked the old lady if she was in a good mood because of something good, and it made her happy to say it.
Everyone hurriedly said to Mrs. Wang: "Early in the morning, the Eldest Man came to pay his respects in official uniform, and the old lady has been very happy."
Mrs. Wang nodded with a smile, trying to pick out a few good words to congratulate Jiamu.
Jia Mu was still happy, and said to Mrs. Wang: "It's good that way. The two of them will support each other in the future, so this official can work longer. You can also rest assured."
Mrs. Wang's heart twitched when she thought of all the anger she had suffered the day before yesterday.What mutual support, the elder brother almost sent her to see the official!Mrs. Wang could only make excuses and laugh, she was full of bitterness and couldn't tell, she just pretended to be in front of Jia's mother, and later she had to find ways to make money to pay off her debts, what a fate!
Besides, after Wang Xifeng came out from Jiamu's place, she asked Ping'er if the person who had been sent out to change the silver had returned.Ping'er looked around, hurriedly led Wang Xifeng to the inner room, and showed Wang Xifeng the newly moved box of silver.
"1000 counts on two legs."
"Okay." Wang Xifeng saw that the silver was whole and broken, which was just suitable for her to lend out, and not only praised Ping'er for being sensible.Then he told her to hurry and find those people who wanted to borrow money.
In just one day, Wang Xifeng released 300 taels of silver.Every move of Wang Xifeng and Heping'er was clearly seen by Mrs. Xia, the sweeping gatekeeper in the courtyard.Even if her memory is not good, she still has to write down the names of those women who borrowed money from Wang Xifeng.It's okay for the master to say, if she remembers one more name, she will give an extra two hundred coins.
……
Censorship Desk.
When Jia Amnesty arrived, he didn't expect that he had a separate room.The size of the room is just right, and the decoration is very elegant. The colleagues in the adjacent room are also very warm to him, sending tea, pens and orchids, and all of them kindly congratulated him.It was already morning, and Jia Shen stayed comfortably at Yushitai. Apart from researching the news network, he didn't have any other chores to bother him.
In the afternoon, Yu Shi Zhongcheng Qin Zhonglu came back from work.
After Qin Zhonglu came back, he didn't even stand firm on his feet, so he went straight to Jia She.
Jia Amnesty greeted him hurriedly, but Qin Zhonglu politely helped him up and gave up his seat.
"Lord Jia is too polite. From now on, you and I will be officials at Yushitai and take care of each other. Besides, there is not much difference in our ranks. Next time we meet, you must not salute like this. It really hurts me!" Qin Zhonglu smiled heartily.
Jia Amnesty agreed with a smile.
Qin Zhonglu laughed enough, took a sip of tea, and when he was still biting the teacup, his eyes moved up flexibly, aiming at Jia She from time to time.It seems that Jia She was masked from the beginning when we met, and now I can see his true face.
Jia Amnesty felt a little uncomfortable being watched, and asked him politely what he was looking at.
"Uh...it might be offensive to say that,"
Qin Zhonglu put down the tea bowl, laughed a few times, twirled his beard, then glanced at the surrounding situation, stretched his neck and covered his mouth with his hands, pretending to be whispering to Jia She.
"I know you belong to Mr. Song."
Jia She was stunned for a moment, and suddenly remembered that Song Xi had confessed to himself before that after he became the supervisory censor, he would settle the censor Zhongcheng above him.In addition, this morning, Song Xi deliberately sent him to Yushitai, his intention was obvious, and there was no need to say it clearly.But since this Qin Zhonglu wanted to know more clearly, Jia Amnesty did not shy away from it, so he nodded.After all, he will have to act on his own for many things in the future, and it will be very inconvenient if multiple people above control him.
Seeing that Jia Amnesty agreed so simply, Qin Zhonglu felt embarrassed.He turned his head and smiled, held back his smile, and then swore to Jia She with a blushing face, "Don't worry, I'll keep this matter absolutely secret, and I won't tell anyone about it. Otherwise, I'll die with a rotten tongue!" "
"It's not a big deal, Mr. Zhongcheng doesn't need to be like this." Jia She said lightly.
Qin Zhonglu saw that Jia She was facing him so calmly, his words were calm and unhurried, and his expression was the same.He couldn't help admiring Jia Amnesty, and thought that if this kind of thing happened to him, he would definitely think too much in his heart, thinking that he couldn't say it, and he couldn't get on the stage.This Jia Enhou really deserves to be the person Mr. Song is looking for, he is really out of the ordinary, it really makes him feel ashamed.He served it!
Qin Zhonglu bowed his hands to Jia She in admiration, "You can be an official at Yushitai with peace of mind, and I will protect you. Don't worry, no one dares to do anything to you. If you are wronged in any way in the future, you will Find me."
These few words were sincere, Jia Amnesty did not expect Qin Zhonglu to be so meaningful, so he quickly expressed his thanks.
Qin Zhonglu smiled admiringly at Jia Amnesty again, before leaving.
Jia She always felt that this guy's smile was a bit strange, but he didn't bother to investigate further.After tidying up, I went out.
Seeing that Jia Amnesty left early on the first day of duty, the other officials at Yushitai began to discuss.
"Look at him, he is still a pampered master after entering Yushitai, he can leave whenever he wants, and he doesn't have to worry about anything."
"I'm lucky. You saved the fifteenth prince. If you have the guts, you'll save it too. By the way, you'll get Master Song's favor."
"That's all. I have a hard life, and no one is so lucky. I can do both, and I am content."
……
Jia Amnesty selected five masters of qinggong from among the fifty secret guards assigned to him by the emperor.It's no problem to climb over the wall of Wang's house, hang a tree in a squatting room.Jia Amnesty asked them to be on standby near Wang's house at any time.
"The Wang family should have already confirmed that there is something wrong with the courtyard next to Cuibiyuan. Tonight, the two of you will enter the mansion late at night to help the spies dig up the corpse there. If there is any change, or if the corpse is actually dug up, immediately send a message to the outside. The remaining three pretended to be thieves, and gave the officials of Gyeonggi Province a reason to break in. Don’t worry, I will greet you in advance to ensure that they will not hurt you. Remember to cover your face, don’t let the Wang family see your true face, Pretend to be like a gangster."
The five secret guards nodded in agreement.
Jia She looked at one of the secret guards who was relatively short and asked what his name was.
"Return to my lord, my subordinate ghost three."
"From a glance, you have the softest face among the five of them, so you must be more popular."
Ghost San smiled and agreed, indeed.
The other guards also laughed when they saw this, and nodded in agreement.
"The prince is a high-ranking official, so it's not easy to offend, and the end of bluffing the grass and scaring the snake will lead to the end of the whole matter. It's best to hit it right this time, and you will be responsible for it. It is a matter of human life, so you must take it seriously. "
"Your subordinate obeys." The ghost hurriedly cupped his hands with three faces.
Jia Amnesty nodded, and they hurried to prepare.Jia Amnesty was only waiting for the news in the evening.
It was still early in the day, and Jia She felt that there was nothing wrong anyway, so he went to the neighbor's house to have a look.There are a lot of miscellaneous news, Fang Zhenglu and the others will filter it first, organize and transcribe it in a notebook.Jia She will come to visit every few days to check if there are any omissions.
In addition to the recent incident with the Wang family, Jia Amnesty also found out that the head of the Dali Temple was corrupt.The corruption case, together with Wang Ziteng's case, is enough for the fourth issue of "Secret Stories Next Door".But Jia Amnesty also wanted to see if there would be any other missing news.
When Jia Amnesty arrived at the neighbor's house, he heard that Zhu Mao reported a lot of complaints about the owner's family, Li's family, which sounded like little things like conflicts between neighbors, and there was nothing particularly worth reporting.
"Recently, several people have come to Linjiaxuan to take the initiative to report the news, and they are all about Liu Zhongliang. He has an unshirkable responsibility for the Jindi case. Now that Qi Wang Libao reinstates Liu Zhongliang, many people are not convinced. something." Fangzheng said.
"What's the use of not being convinced? What about the evidence? Is there a piece of evidence that points to him as a treacherous and corrupt official?" Jia Amnesty looked at Fang Zhenglu.
Fang Zhenglu shook his head, "When I asked carefully, I just hesitated and couldn't tell the specifics."
Zhu Mao smiled and said: "According to the judgment method that the master told us, these are just rumors."
"There are really a lot of people speaking." Fang Zhenglu hesitated.
Jia Amnesty stared at Fang Zhenglu: "Have you forgotten how you were wronged?"
Fangzhenglu opened his eyes slightly, his body shook, and he hurriedly bowed to Jia Amnesty to make amends.
"Liu Zhongliang is indeed a bit rigid and pedantic, but he should be an upright person. In the Jindi case, he was indeed negligent, but he has also made a lot of contributions to the court in the past. Whether it is good or bad, the emperor thinks It’s up to you to make up your own mind, and it’s not enough for the king of Qi to protect him alone. Even if he really has something, we can still arrest him if we have a basis later.”
After Jia Amnesty explained, he turned his eyes to the notebook, pointed to it, and asked Fang Zhenglu, "King Qi...the above said that King Qi is inhumane, who can say that?"
Fangzhenglu thought about it carefully, then shook his head, "Anonymous letter. Didn't the master tell us to set up two boxes at the back door of the neighbor's house, dedicated to anonymous leakers? That's where I found this news."
"Look for the original text quickly." Jia She said.
The black pig didn't understand, "Master, didn't you say that you don't report people's privacy casually? Not to mention whether this anonymous news is true or false, it is true. It is shameful that this man is incompetent. It is so embarrassing to spread it Being laughed at by the world, King Qi is afraid that he will have no face to live in this world. Besides, he is a prince, so we are not easy to offend."
Fang Zhenglu had already found the paper and handed it to Jia Amnesty.
Jia Amnesty took a closer look at the writing on it. It was a bit ugly, but each stroke was done carefully. It could be seen that the strokes were written carefully, and there was a slight tremor at the end of the strokes. "It looks like it should be written by a beginner."
Fang Zhenglu tilted his head and looked again, then nodded for confirmation, "It's very similar."
"I'm afraid that this kind of letter will not be written by someone. After all, the other party's distinguished King Qi can't take the risk. Therefore, these few words should be learned one by one by the whistleblower in order to break the news, and then I put together one stroke by one, and sent it over after finishing writing." Jia Amnesty thought for a while, and then analyzed, "I don't know how to read, but still have the opportunity to learn to write, and can get in touch with pen and ink, they should be the servants of Prince Qi's mansion. people."
"But master, it's still the same problem, it's privacy." The black pig sighed.
Jia She shook his head, "This is not privacy. The King of Qi is inhumane. He accepts so many concubines every year. Isn't it harmful! Besides, Princess Qi died a year ago. The election of the main concubine, side concubines, concubines, concubines, beauties, etc. It is said that girls from all over the world will be recruited to participate in the selection of concubines. Furthermore, Princess Qi did not stay behind, and the Qi Palace has no son, that is to say, the new Princess Qi His status must also be from a noble family. Let me ask you, when he chooses a concubine, will he tell others the fact that he is inhumane. Isn't he doing harm to others?"
The black pig shook his head a few times before nodding.
"If your daughter or sister is cheated by such a man, won't you be annoyed?"
"I can't wait to kill him!" Zhu Mao bared his teeth, his sister is sensible and well-behaved, he doesn't want his sister's life to be lost on an inhumane man.
"When a woman gets married, it's a lifetime affair. It's really not good to be deceived like this." Fang Zhenglu said with a frown.
"This Prince Qi, knowing that he is inhumane, still recruits beauties into the mansion. How many daughters' families have been harmed by this! It's hateful!" Heizhu gritted his teeth and said angrily.
Fang Zhenglu: "What is he planning?"
"Sometimes, the worse some men are, the more they want to prove that they can do it, and the more they are afraid that others will know that they can't do it." Jia Amnesty speculated.He still knows something about this psychological thing.
Fangzhenglu nodded suddenly, and wanted to scold that King Qi with a look of contempt on his face.
"You all don't talk nonsense, this matter has yet to be verified. At the Qi Palace, you arrange good people, and you must spy on them clearly. Besides, I want to know that in the past five years, since Princess Qi married into the Qi Palace, there have been major incidents. Big and small, everything. Especially about women's pregnancy in Prince Qi's mansion."
"Pregnant? How could you be pregnant?" Zhu Mao was puzzled.
Fang Zhenglu slapped him on the head, "Stupid or not, our master just said that the more he can't do it, the less he wants people to think he's good. Maybe this king of Qi will make a fool of himself and get two women pregnant to prove that he's good."
The black pig frowned, and didn't want to listen any more, "Why are women suffering in these two recent cases?"
This is the cruel oppression of women in feudal society.Even in modern times, it is common for women to be disadvantaged, not to mention that under the patriarchal social system in ancient times, there must be more women with miserable fates.
Jia Amnesty couldn't say this, so he chose to remain silent.
The black pig and others also stopped talking.
Jia Amnesty circled the matter of King Qi, and then asked the black pig, "Is there any movement from the Wang family?"
"These days the imperial court is very strict on the abduction and trafficking, and they don't have any beautiful girls. The boy even complained that there is no way to send them away."
"It's exactly what I want. When it gets dark, you should report to the officials and see if you catch those kidnappers first." Jia She told Song Xi about the trafficking of kidnappers before, and the Gyeonggi government has been investigating it recently because they are afraid Yazi will send some good girl to the Wang family to die.
"Now I'm counting on those spies from the Wang family to dig out what I want. As long as I find the corpse, everything will be easy." Jia She said.
Jia Amnesty was worried that those spies would encounter accidents and make mistakes, so he asked Zhu Mao to send a message to Song Xi, asking him to help, and asked the Gyeonggi Yamen to patrol the streets near Wang's house tonight.
That night.
Jia She could not sleep peacefully because he had to wait for news from the Wang family, so he simply sat at the table and wrote articles.
Ever since the last time he met people making trouble in front of Sun Yingwu's house, Jia Amnesty has been reflecting on the public opinion brought about by this book and the negative impact it has caused.
He doesn't want this kind of situation to continue to expand. If the villains are morally corrupt and do a lot of harm to others, but they can't be punished by the law, they should turn around and suffer some scolding. But if the government is still doing its best to investigate the case and prepare to punish the perpetrators However, the common people use some rough and improper methods at this time to intensify the problem and increase the contradictions in the situation.
Jia Amnesty plans to publish an article about respecting the government's investigation and discussing whether violence should be used to counter violence in the fourth issue of My Neighbor's Secret.He must warn those readers who spread the word of mouth after reading the book, otherwise one day, the secrets of the neighbors will be banned because of the mob.
ugly time.
Jia Amnesty has checked the article three times.Suddenly, he heard a knock on the door, hurriedly opened the door, and saw a pig's hair panting and pointing to the east, which was the residence of Wang Ziteng.
"how?"
Zhu Mao nodded hurriedly, "The black pig set off fireworks, there must be news."
Jia Amnesty lifted his robe and hurried to the Wang's house in a carriage.
When he arrived, the gate of Wang's house was already surrounded by a group of government servants from Gyeonggi Province.Because Wang Ziteng is the envoy of the Beijing camp, there are also many soldiers patrolling the city blocking here at this time.These people are all Wang Ziteng's subordinates. Hearing that the news was wrong, they came to check the situation, and then confronted the government officials in Gyeonggi Province.
In the past, the Gyeonggi Prefecture could not withstand the deterrence of these patrolling soldiers and horses.But now it's different, their governor is Song Xi, and their backs can be a bit stiff just by their surnames.
"This is the order of our lord Song. If you dare to step into the Wang family without authorization, you will be punished as an accomplice!" Gyeonggi Prefecture Prime Minister Liu Zhizhong shouted.
"Accomplice?" The general patrolling the city sneered, and asked loudly in confusion, "Then tell me clearly, what exactly did our lord Wang do?"
"This is a secret, but if the inspector wants to know, you can come in and have a try." Jia Amnesty walked to the gate of Wang's house unhurriedly, let Liu Zhizhong make way, and stretched out his hand to signal that he could enter.
The general patrolling the city heard that Jia Amnesty was the censor, and guessed that Wang Ziteng must have been impeached by the censor.On the contrary, he felt guilty, and was also afraid that his family's adults, like the previous King Jin, would suddenly be accused of treason.There are more than 100 people in my family, and they can't all accompany Mr. Wang to die.The general patrolling the city was honest, so he jumped off his horse and said that he would wait here and would not make mistakes.
At this time, Song Xi rode a horse and led a team of guards.
The crowd was busy saluting.
Song Xi squinted at the patrolling general, "Geng Junliang, lead your subordinates to patrol the city."
Geng Junliang was extremely surprised, he didn't expect that such a small person as himself, Mr. Song would be able to personally name him.Suddenly trembling with fright, he immediately took his subordinates away.
The secret guard came to report wearing night clothes: "My lord, we found the corpses in a deserted yard next to Cuibi Garden in Wang Shengjing. There are three of them in total, some of them are rotten, but they can be vaguely identified as women."
The two then drove to Wang's house.
Before getting out of the car, Jia Amnesty told Song Xi to go in whichever direction and look down more after entering.
Song Xi smiled: "What's the key to buying, just tell me what you're looking for."
"The place where the corpses are hidden," Jia Amnesty rubbed his chin, and added rigorously, "If there is any."
"Do you suspect that Wang Ziteng hid the corpse in his own mansion after murder? It is possible. He is a military general, full of evil spirits, courageous, and familiar with the art of war. Dangerous places are the safest. He buried the corpse under his eyelids It's not uncommon either. One saves effort, and the other is safety that can be seen every day." Song Xi analyzed.
"You and I agree."
Jia Amnesty then said that he had just pondered over two reasons, and asked Song Xi how it was to visit the Wang family with such a reason.
Song Xi shook his head and vetoed, "It's too deliberate, so I just said that I would just pass by and give me a melon."
During the Duanyang Festival, people in the Zhou Dynasty had the custom of giving watermelon and cornstarch to others.It's normal to pass by and give me a melon.
Jia Amnesty nodded, got out of the car first, and sent his followers to knock on the gate of Wang's house with watermelons in their hands.
As soon as the Wang family heard that Song Xi was in the car, they dared not be negligent. After picking up the melons, they asked Wang Ziteng to wait a while and hurriedly reported to Wang Ziteng.
After a while, Wang Ziteng led a group of people out of the gate. Seeing Jia Amnesty, he hurriedly asked him if Song Xi had really come.
"Master Song specially rewarded me for saving the fifteenth prince today. I just stopped by, and I mentioned you by the way—"
"Thank you!" Wang Ziteng didn't listen to the following. After confirming that Song Xi was in the carriage, he hurried towards the carriage with big strides, and then greeted and saluted loudly.
Song Xi got out of the car.
"I happened to be passing by, so I asked someone to give you a melon. Don't be disgusted by Mr. Wang. Now the melon has already been delivered, so there is no need to mobilize people like this, we will leave now."
Wang Ziteng hastily kept people away, "Since we've already arrived at the door, I'd like to invite Mrs. Song to give you some thin noodles, and then go into the mansion and have a cup of tea before leaving."
Song Xi hesitated for a while, then Fang nodded in agreement.
Wang Ziteng led the way, Song Xi stood shoulder to shoulder with him, and Jia Amnesty followed into the door.
After eating tea, Wang Ziteng made a fuss about treating Song Xi with wine.Song Xi quickly refused, saying that he could not turn his back on the customer, and Jia Amnesty was the one who should be rewarded today.
Wang Ziteng turned to look at Jia She, "Then—"
"I can't drink wine now. If you are so enthusiastic, why don't you take us for a walk in your garden?"
Wang Ziteng saw that Song Xi had no intention of vetoing it, so he quickly agreed.No matter what the method of hospitality is, as long as it can keep Song Xi for a while.
The group of three took a few entourages sporadically, and wandered around the back garden of the Wang family.
The Wang family's garden is not as exquisite and artistic as the Song Mansion, but it has a majestic momentum, and every scene is complete.For example, the bamboo forest is densely packed, and it is a large area, the pond is also very large, and the water pavilion is much more spacious than other places.
Song Xi walked more than half of the garden, and followed what Jia She said, and looked at the ground, but he didn't see any traces of new digging.
Jia Amnesty covered his stomach, then apologized to the two of them, and left.Zhu Mao and four other secret guards disguised as servants also followed him.
There was a young servant from the Wang family leading the way, and when Jia She entered the hut, Zhu Mao instructed the young servant to make tea.
Zhu Mao was embarrassed and whispered to him: "Our master is very fond of keeping in good health recently, so he developed a strange problem. After work, he not only has to clean his hands, but also has to drink a bowl of decoction of red dates and goji berries, and trouble you to go get ready."
Although the boy thought this hobby was strange, he had no choice but to agree.
Jia Amnesty came out immediately and told the four secret guards, "The east side of the garden has been checked, and you divide the work to go to the west and north. Just look at the remote places. If there are any places where the vegetation grows particularly dense, it is different from other places around. It’s very big, remember to tell me too. There’s only one stick of incense, after which you jump in from the back window of the hut to look for me.”
The four secret guards took the order and immediately dispersed quickly.
Song Xi and Wang Ziteng waited at the water pavilion.The prince offered Song Xi the best tea and asked him to taste how it tasted.
Song Xi took a sip, put the tea on the table, and said with a faint smile, "It's okay."
Wang Ziteng immediately regretted his slip of the tongue.Song Xi has never seen anything in the world, never drank any good tea, and he still shows this in front of him.
The prince hurriedly changed his mind, "I'm a rough person, I don't understand these things, I'm not picky about any kind of tea or water. They say this tea is good, but I can't drink it. Mr. Song is knowledgeable and well-informed. So I couldn’t help being curious to know what’s so good about this tea. Sure enough, those people saw that I don’t know how to drink tea, and deliberately made this to deceive me, a vulgar person!”
"This tea is from the cloud and mist of Lushan Mountain. The tea is produced in the steaming clouds and mist. It has a very beautiful rhyme, and it is very suitable for Mr. Wang. Mr. Wang, don't blame the wrong person." Song Xi said.
Prince Tengzuo suddenly realized, and nodded, as if he just knew the origin of this tea.Wang Ziteng shook the tea bowl, looked at the tea soup in the bowl, and said with a sneer, "I'm such a rough person. I've heard people say before that you don't necessarily have to drink this tea to tell whether it's good or bad?"
"The cord is tight, the leaves are tender and even, the fragrance is long-lasting, and the soup is clear and bright, so it can be called a good tea." Song Xi stated in a flat tone. The last time he said this was when he was eight years old.
"There are so many reasons. Mr. Song really has a wide range of knowledge, which is beyond the comparison of vulgar people like me." Wang Ziteng repeatedly clasped his hands in admiration.
Song Xi only raised the corners of his mouth slightly, as a perfunctory compliment.
"What are you talking about?" Jia She rushed back excitedly.
Song Xi looked up at his expression, guessing that there was a result, so he got up and said it was getting late.Jia Amnesty immediately bid farewell to Wang Ziteng.
Wang Ziteng left a few more words, seeing that they insisted on leaving, there was nothing they could do, so he had to send them off enthusiastically.
After listening to Wang Ziteng's story, Li Shi, the wife of Wang Ziteng, was a little worried, "Master was suspected of showing off in front of Mr. Song at first, will it be annoying?"
"What do you know, you woman? He said to me later that he still talked too much. He changed his indifferent attitude at the beginning. Literati are all proud. If you hold him up and let him show off his talents, he will naturally feel that you It's easy to get along with. It doesn't necessarily have to be a poetic charm. You can see why he associates with Jia She, and it's not because Jia She is too stupid, and he can only show his ability when he is next to him." Wang Ziteng said.
After thinking about it, Mrs. Li felt that this might be the reason, so she quickly praised Wang Ziteng for his strength.She smiled and went to beat Prince Teng's shoulders, told her about Wang Shengjing's schooling, and then asked him if he wanted to stay with her tonight.
Wang Ziteng reached out to pick up the tea, took two sips, and then frowned and said tiredly: "Recently, I'm too busy with business, and even the Duanyang Festival, I, as the military envoy of the Beijing camp, can't be free. On the contrary, I'm busier than usual. I have to go out at night to take The generals patrol the streets."
Li's expression immediately flashed disappointment, but he couldn't say much, he just told Wang Ziteng to rest properly and not to tire himself out.
Wang Ziteng let out a "hmm", then got up and said, "I'm going to test my son's homework."
Li Shi wanted to stop him, and wanted to persuade Wang Ziteng to let the child go for the holiday today.Unexpectedly, before she could open her mouth, Wang Ziteng had already strode out.
Wang Shengjing lived in Cuibiyuan on the west side of Wang's back garden. Next door to Cubiyuan was a deserted yard, so the place was very quiet and suitable for him to practice martial arts and study.
Wang Shengjing, who was educated by Wang Ziteng, is both civil and military, and is currently studying in the house.Hearing that his father was coming, his hands trembled in fright, and the pen fell on the copybook.
Wang Ziteng took a look after entering the door, and waved away the maids in the room, "It seems that nothing has been done."
"They said that the news is tight recently and there are no good products. My son must help my father find them as soon as possible." After Wang Shengjing got up, he lowered his head and said to the prince sullenly.
"Useless things."
Wang Ziteng gave Wang Shengjing a hard look, and walked away with his hands behind his back.
……
On the carriage, Song Xi asked Jia Amnesty if he had found anything.
Jia Amnesty rubbed his chin, "Time is tight, I only found some clues, whether it is true or not, we have to wait for the Wang family's spies to confirm it later."
"Is your spy reliable?" Song Xi asked.
Jia Amnesty thought for a while, then shook his head, "It's definitely not like the dead men you raised under your command. The people here rely on self-awareness apart from interests."
Song Xi couldn't help laughing, and pointed at Jia Amnesty, "I think you seem to be hurting me. What kind of talents are the spies you raise. It's really amazing to have a talent like you who can control the three religions and nine streams. Tell me in detail."
"Okay, for the sake of your help, I will teach you a trick. Two points, the first is to show affection, and the second is to move with profit. Let them understand that doing this will not only benefit and make money, but also help Others have become unsung heroes who help justice. In fact, no matter how hard life is for this person and how humble his status is, many people have the dream of being a hero in their hearts. Just look at those three-year-old dolls on the street, all still holding sticks Waving, shouting to hoe the strong and help the weak.
So when you can satisfy them both in terms of money and heart, most people will choose to be willing.There are also those who are unwilling, then they are not within the scope of the snare, and there is no need to deal with it. "
"It's that simple?" Song Xi asked Jia Amnesty in surprise.
Jia She nodded: "Many things are very simple. But it's easier said than done. When it comes to persuading people, you need to find someone with a good mouth. There is someone around me who has this ability, which saves me a lot of trouble. "
Song Xi knew that the person Jia Amnesty was referring to was the black pig who was born as a beggar, so he nodded, agreeing.He had asked people to investigate the black pig worriedly. He has a clean background, a kind heart, a clever man, and a chivalrous heart. He is indeed a talent. No wonder Jia She took a fancy to him.
When Jia Amnesty arrived at Rongfu, he said goodbye to Song Xi and thanked him for his help by the way.Song Xi felt that since the jade pendant could not be delivered, he gave the remaining eight watermelons in the cart behind to Jia Amnesty, and left.
"Master, this melon?" Zhu Mao asked.
"Send it to the old lady." Jia She said.
Zhu Mao agreed, so he changed hands and asked the wives to move to the old lady.
Jia's mother was very happy when she learned that the melon was given by Song Xi, and praised Jia She for having made many friends over the years, and finally got in touch with a decent person.The mother-in-law and daughter-in-law couldn't help but compliment Jia's mother, and by the way, they told about the changes that the old man had undergone in recent months, and praised the old man's changes openly and secretly.
Mother Jia couldn't help being shaken when she heard that these people praised Jia Amnesty.When she was resting in the evening, she talked about the matter with two old women who were close to her, and the women all praised Jia She's kindness in unison.
Jia Mu dismissed them with a frown, and then asked the mandarin ducks who were making the bed.
Yuanyang smiled and said, "I told you a long time ago, but you just don't believe me. Why did you change your mind today?"
"Even you think the boss has changed for the better." Mother Jia frowned and sighed.
Yuanyang: "I don't think that everyone has seen what the old man has done in the past few months. Whether he is good or not, it's not just the servants who say it, but everyone thinks so."
Jiamu gave a complicated "hmm", and after being served by Yuanyang, she sent Yuanyang away impatiently. She didn't need anyone to stay in the room tonight.
The mandarin duck agreed, and then went down.Only one oil lamp was left in the west corner.
Mother Jia sighed for a long time on the bed, then turned back and forth several times.
Early the next morning, Jia Amnesty came to make an appointment with Jia Mu as usual.Today is the day when he will officially go to Yushitai to be on duty, and he should leave soon, so he came directly to pay his respects in his official uniform.
Mother Jia glanced at the eldest son who entered the door. He was wearing a crimson brocade official uniform. Perhaps he was used to plain clothes on weekdays, but now he looked a little brighter.Moreover, the crimson color matched his face very well, highlighting his handsome features and vigorous appearance.Mother Jia couldn't believe that his eldest son, who was about to turn [-], still had such a good-looking appearance.His handsome appearance is only a bit more mature than Jia Lian's, and he doesn't look old at all.Jia's mother also noticed that Jia She was wearing a whitebait bag on his waist, and a very simple round suet jade was hanging on it. He walked like a gentleman, and he walked with a heroic and graceful posture without losing his composure.
Mother Jia squinted her eyes and looked carefully, and found that her eldest son really didn't know when he had lost the demeanor of a real long-term master.
After Jia's mother was stunned, she said to Jia She in a gentle tone: "You go."
Jia Amnesty went.
A woman came to ask how to divide the watermelon sent by Mr. Song yesterday.
Jia Mu said, come and have a taste.She didn't want to eat it at first, but after tasting it, Li Wan and Yingchun all said that the melon was sweet, full of water and still sandy.
Jia Mu has always liked to eat sand meat, so she quickly took a piece to taste for herself, nodded, "it tastes better than the ones in our house."
"Could it be that Mr. Song's family's, even the melons are more delicious than other people's." Li Wan joked.
Wang Xifeng swallowed the melon in her mouth, wiped her mouth with a handkerchief, and said to Li Wan: "Exactly, I heard that there are special melon pickers. When the melons are ready, they will first ask the melon pickers to pick the best ones." Come, send it to the homes of some special adults in the capital, and then sell it outside."
Li Wan nodded in surprise, he didn't expect that even eating a melon would be divided into three or six grades.
Jia Mu smiled: "You can't stop your mouth even if you eat it."
Mrs. Wang is here now.Wang Xifeng hurriedly let her sit down and invited her to eat melons.
Mrs. Wang inserted a piece with a bamboo stick, took a bite, and asked with a smile, "What day is it today? Why is it so early in the morning? Everyone has eaten melons."
"This melon is different. Mr. Song specially kept it when he sent the master back last night." When Mrs. Wang heard that this melon was obtained by Jia She, she shook her hand and threw it on the ground.Mrs. Wang hurriedly concealed the unhappiness on her face, wiped her mouth and smiled, "Look at me, I'm old, and I can't hold things steady with my hands."
"Bah, shut your mouth quickly. You still say you're old, but tell me how to deal with it!" Jia Mu sighed with a smile.
Mrs. Wang is busy apologizing.Seeing that Mother Jia was very happy, she asked the old lady if she was in a good mood because of something good, and it made her happy to say it.
Everyone hurriedly said to Mrs. Wang: "Early in the morning, the Eldest Man came to pay his respects in official uniform, and the old lady has been very happy."
Mrs. Wang nodded with a smile, trying to pick out a few good words to congratulate Jiamu.
Jia Mu was still happy, and said to Mrs. Wang: "It's good that way. The two of them will support each other in the future, so this official can work longer. You can also rest assured."
Mrs. Wang's heart twitched when she thought of all the anger she had suffered the day before yesterday.What mutual support, the elder brother almost sent her to see the official!Mrs. Wang could only make excuses and laugh, she was full of bitterness and couldn't tell, she just pretended to be in front of Jia's mother, and later she had to find ways to make money to pay off her debts, what a fate!
Besides, after Wang Xifeng came out from Jiamu's place, she asked Ping'er if the person who had been sent out to change the silver had returned.Ping'er looked around, hurriedly led Wang Xifeng to the inner room, and showed Wang Xifeng the newly moved box of silver.
"1000 counts on two legs."
"Okay." Wang Xifeng saw that the silver was whole and broken, which was just suitable for her to lend out, and not only praised Ping'er for being sensible.Then he told her to hurry and find those people who wanted to borrow money.
In just one day, Wang Xifeng released 300 taels of silver.Every move of Wang Xifeng and Heping'er was clearly seen by Mrs. Xia, the sweeping gatekeeper in the courtyard.Even if her memory is not good, she still has to write down the names of those women who borrowed money from Wang Xifeng.It's okay for the master to say, if she remembers one more name, she will give an extra two hundred coins.
……
Censorship Desk.
When Jia Amnesty arrived, he didn't expect that he had a separate room.The size of the room is just right, and the decoration is very elegant. The colleagues in the adjacent room are also very warm to him, sending tea, pens and orchids, and all of them kindly congratulated him.It was already morning, and Jia Shen stayed comfortably at Yushitai. Apart from researching the news network, he didn't have any other chores to bother him.
In the afternoon, Yu Shi Zhongcheng Qin Zhonglu came back from work.
After Qin Zhonglu came back, he didn't even stand firm on his feet, so he went straight to Jia She.
Jia Amnesty greeted him hurriedly, but Qin Zhonglu politely helped him up and gave up his seat.
"Lord Jia is too polite. From now on, you and I will be officials at Yushitai and take care of each other. Besides, there is not much difference in our ranks. Next time we meet, you must not salute like this. It really hurts me!" Qin Zhonglu smiled heartily.
Jia Amnesty agreed with a smile.
Qin Zhonglu laughed enough, took a sip of tea, and when he was still biting the teacup, his eyes moved up flexibly, aiming at Jia She from time to time.It seems that Jia She was masked from the beginning when we met, and now I can see his true face.
Jia Amnesty felt a little uncomfortable being watched, and asked him politely what he was looking at.
"Uh...it might be offensive to say that,"
Qin Zhonglu put down the tea bowl, laughed a few times, twirled his beard, then glanced at the surrounding situation, stretched his neck and covered his mouth with his hands, pretending to be whispering to Jia She.
"I know you belong to Mr. Song."
Jia She was stunned for a moment, and suddenly remembered that Song Xi had confessed to himself before that after he became the supervisory censor, he would settle the censor Zhongcheng above him.In addition, this morning, Song Xi deliberately sent him to Yushitai, his intention was obvious, and there was no need to say it clearly.But since this Qin Zhonglu wanted to know more clearly, Jia Amnesty did not shy away from it, so he nodded.After all, he will have to act on his own for many things in the future, and it will be very inconvenient if multiple people above control him.
Seeing that Jia Amnesty agreed so simply, Qin Zhonglu felt embarrassed.He turned his head and smiled, held back his smile, and then swore to Jia She with a blushing face, "Don't worry, I'll keep this matter absolutely secret, and I won't tell anyone about it. Otherwise, I'll die with a rotten tongue!" "
"It's not a big deal, Mr. Zhongcheng doesn't need to be like this." Jia She said lightly.
Qin Zhonglu saw that Jia She was facing him so calmly, his words were calm and unhurried, and his expression was the same.He couldn't help admiring Jia Amnesty, and thought that if this kind of thing happened to him, he would definitely think too much in his heart, thinking that he couldn't say it, and he couldn't get on the stage.This Jia Enhou really deserves to be the person Mr. Song is looking for, he is really out of the ordinary, it really makes him feel ashamed.He served it!
Qin Zhonglu bowed his hands to Jia She in admiration, "You can be an official at Yushitai with peace of mind, and I will protect you. Don't worry, no one dares to do anything to you. If you are wronged in any way in the future, you will Find me."
These few words were sincere, Jia Amnesty did not expect Qin Zhonglu to be so meaningful, so he quickly expressed his thanks.
Qin Zhonglu smiled admiringly at Jia Amnesty again, before leaving.
Jia She always felt that this guy's smile was a bit strange, but he didn't bother to investigate further.After tidying up, I went out.
Seeing that Jia Amnesty left early on the first day of duty, the other officials at Yushitai began to discuss.
"Look at him, he is still a pampered master after entering Yushitai, he can leave whenever he wants, and he doesn't have to worry about anything."
"I'm lucky. You saved the fifteenth prince. If you have the guts, you'll save it too. By the way, you'll get Master Song's favor."
"That's all. I have a hard life, and no one is so lucky. I can do both, and I am content."
……
Jia Amnesty selected five masters of qinggong from among the fifty secret guards assigned to him by the emperor.It's no problem to climb over the wall of Wang's house, hang a tree in a squatting room.Jia Amnesty asked them to be on standby near Wang's house at any time.
"The Wang family should have already confirmed that there is something wrong with the courtyard next to Cuibiyuan. Tonight, the two of you will enter the mansion late at night to help the spies dig up the corpse there. If there is any change, or if the corpse is actually dug up, immediately send a message to the outside. The remaining three pretended to be thieves, and gave the officials of Gyeonggi Province a reason to break in. Don’t worry, I will greet you in advance to ensure that they will not hurt you. Remember to cover your face, don’t let the Wang family see your true face, Pretend to be like a gangster."
The five secret guards nodded in agreement.
Jia She looked at one of the secret guards who was relatively short and asked what his name was.
"Return to my lord, my subordinate ghost three."
"From a glance, you have the softest face among the five of them, so you must be more popular."
Ghost San smiled and agreed, indeed.
The other guards also laughed when they saw this, and nodded in agreement.
"The prince is a high-ranking official, so it's not easy to offend, and the end of bluffing the grass and scaring the snake will lead to the end of the whole matter. It's best to hit it right this time, and you will be responsible for it. It is a matter of human life, so you must take it seriously. "
"Your subordinate obeys." The ghost hurriedly cupped his hands with three faces.
Jia Amnesty nodded, and they hurried to prepare.Jia Amnesty was only waiting for the news in the evening.
It was still early in the day, and Jia She felt that there was nothing wrong anyway, so he went to the neighbor's house to have a look.There are a lot of miscellaneous news, Fang Zhenglu and the others will filter it first, organize and transcribe it in a notebook.Jia She will come to visit every few days to check if there are any omissions.
In addition to the recent incident with the Wang family, Jia Amnesty also found out that the head of the Dali Temple was corrupt.The corruption case, together with Wang Ziteng's case, is enough for the fourth issue of "Secret Stories Next Door".But Jia Amnesty also wanted to see if there would be any other missing news.
When Jia Amnesty arrived at the neighbor's house, he heard that Zhu Mao reported a lot of complaints about the owner's family, Li's family, which sounded like little things like conflicts between neighbors, and there was nothing particularly worth reporting.
"Recently, several people have come to Linjiaxuan to take the initiative to report the news, and they are all about Liu Zhongliang. He has an unshirkable responsibility for the Jindi case. Now that Qi Wang Libao reinstates Liu Zhongliang, many people are not convinced. something." Fangzheng said.
"What's the use of not being convinced? What about the evidence? Is there a piece of evidence that points to him as a treacherous and corrupt official?" Jia Amnesty looked at Fang Zhenglu.
Fang Zhenglu shook his head, "When I asked carefully, I just hesitated and couldn't tell the specifics."
Zhu Mao smiled and said: "According to the judgment method that the master told us, these are just rumors."
"There are really a lot of people speaking." Fang Zhenglu hesitated.
Jia Amnesty stared at Fang Zhenglu: "Have you forgotten how you were wronged?"
Fangzhenglu opened his eyes slightly, his body shook, and he hurriedly bowed to Jia Amnesty to make amends.
"Liu Zhongliang is indeed a bit rigid and pedantic, but he should be an upright person. In the Jindi case, he was indeed negligent, but he has also made a lot of contributions to the court in the past. Whether it is good or bad, the emperor thinks It’s up to you to make up your own mind, and it’s not enough for the king of Qi to protect him alone. Even if he really has something, we can still arrest him if we have a basis later.”
After Jia Amnesty explained, he turned his eyes to the notebook, pointed to it, and asked Fang Zhenglu, "King Qi...the above said that King Qi is inhumane, who can say that?"
Fangzhenglu thought about it carefully, then shook his head, "Anonymous letter. Didn't the master tell us to set up two boxes at the back door of the neighbor's house, dedicated to anonymous leakers? That's where I found this news."
"Look for the original text quickly." Jia She said.
The black pig didn't understand, "Master, didn't you say that you don't report people's privacy casually? Not to mention whether this anonymous news is true or false, it is true. It is shameful that this man is incompetent. It is so embarrassing to spread it Being laughed at by the world, King Qi is afraid that he will have no face to live in this world. Besides, he is a prince, so we are not easy to offend."
Fang Zhenglu had already found the paper and handed it to Jia Amnesty.
Jia Amnesty took a closer look at the writing on it. It was a bit ugly, but each stroke was done carefully. It could be seen that the strokes were written carefully, and there was a slight tremor at the end of the strokes. "It looks like it should be written by a beginner."
Fang Zhenglu tilted his head and looked again, then nodded for confirmation, "It's very similar."
"I'm afraid that this kind of letter will not be written by someone. After all, the other party's distinguished King Qi can't take the risk. Therefore, these few words should be learned one by one by the whistleblower in order to break the news, and then I put together one stroke by one, and sent it over after finishing writing." Jia Amnesty thought for a while, and then analyzed, "I don't know how to read, but still have the opportunity to learn to write, and can get in touch with pen and ink, they should be the servants of Prince Qi's mansion. people."
"But master, it's still the same problem, it's privacy." The black pig sighed.
Jia She shook his head, "This is not privacy. The King of Qi is inhumane. He accepts so many concubines every year. Isn't it harmful! Besides, Princess Qi died a year ago. The election of the main concubine, side concubines, concubines, concubines, beauties, etc. It is said that girls from all over the world will be recruited to participate in the selection of concubines. Furthermore, Princess Qi did not stay behind, and the Qi Palace has no son, that is to say, the new Princess Qi His status must also be from a noble family. Let me ask you, when he chooses a concubine, will he tell others the fact that he is inhumane. Isn't he doing harm to others?"
The black pig shook his head a few times before nodding.
"If your daughter or sister is cheated by such a man, won't you be annoyed?"
"I can't wait to kill him!" Zhu Mao bared his teeth, his sister is sensible and well-behaved, he doesn't want his sister's life to be lost on an inhumane man.
"When a woman gets married, it's a lifetime affair. It's really not good to be deceived like this." Fang Zhenglu said with a frown.
"This Prince Qi, knowing that he is inhumane, still recruits beauties into the mansion. How many daughters' families have been harmed by this! It's hateful!" Heizhu gritted his teeth and said angrily.
Fang Zhenglu: "What is he planning?"
"Sometimes, the worse some men are, the more they want to prove that they can do it, and the more they are afraid that others will know that they can't do it." Jia Amnesty speculated.He still knows something about this psychological thing.
Fangzhenglu nodded suddenly, and wanted to scold that King Qi with a look of contempt on his face.
"You all don't talk nonsense, this matter has yet to be verified. At the Qi Palace, you arrange good people, and you must spy on them clearly. Besides, I want to know that in the past five years, since Princess Qi married into the Qi Palace, there have been major incidents. Big and small, everything. Especially about women's pregnancy in Prince Qi's mansion."
"Pregnant? How could you be pregnant?" Zhu Mao was puzzled.
Fang Zhenglu slapped him on the head, "Stupid or not, our master just said that the more he can't do it, the less he wants people to think he's good. Maybe this king of Qi will make a fool of himself and get two women pregnant to prove that he's good."
The black pig frowned, and didn't want to listen any more, "Why are women suffering in these two recent cases?"
This is the cruel oppression of women in feudal society.Even in modern times, it is common for women to be disadvantaged, not to mention that under the patriarchal social system in ancient times, there must be more women with miserable fates.
Jia Amnesty couldn't say this, so he chose to remain silent.
The black pig and others also stopped talking.
Jia Amnesty circled the matter of King Qi, and then asked the black pig, "Is there any movement from the Wang family?"
"These days the imperial court is very strict on the abduction and trafficking, and they don't have any beautiful girls. The boy even complained that there is no way to send them away."
"It's exactly what I want. When it gets dark, you should report to the officials and see if you catch those kidnappers first." Jia She told Song Xi about the trafficking of kidnappers before, and the Gyeonggi government has been investigating it recently because they are afraid Yazi will send some good girl to the Wang family to die.
"Now I'm counting on those spies from the Wang family to dig out what I want. As long as I find the corpse, everything will be easy." Jia She said.
Jia Amnesty was worried that those spies would encounter accidents and make mistakes, so he asked Zhu Mao to send a message to Song Xi, asking him to help, and asked the Gyeonggi Yamen to patrol the streets near Wang's house tonight.
That night.
Jia She could not sleep peacefully because he had to wait for news from the Wang family, so he simply sat at the table and wrote articles.
Ever since the last time he met people making trouble in front of Sun Yingwu's house, Jia Amnesty has been reflecting on the public opinion brought about by this book and the negative impact it has caused.
He doesn't want this kind of situation to continue to expand. If the villains are morally corrupt and do a lot of harm to others, but they can't be punished by the law, they should turn around and suffer some scolding. But if the government is still doing its best to investigate the case and prepare to punish the perpetrators However, the common people use some rough and improper methods at this time to intensify the problem and increase the contradictions in the situation.
Jia Amnesty plans to publish an article about respecting the government's investigation and discussing whether violence should be used to counter violence in the fourth issue of My Neighbor's Secret.He must warn those readers who spread the word of mouth after reading the book, otherwise one day, the secrets of the neighbors will be banned because of the mob.
ugly time.
Jia Amnesty has checked the article three times.Suddenly, he heard a knock on the door, hurriedly opened the door, and saw a pig's hair panting and pointing to the east, which was the residence of Wang Ziteng.
"how?"
Zhu Mao nodded hurriedly, "The black pig set off fireworks, there must be news."
Jia Amnesty lifted his robe and hurried to the Wang's house in a carriage.
When he arrived, the gate of Wang's house was already surrounded by a group of government servants from Gyeonggi Province.Because Wang Ziteng is the envoy of the Beijing camp, there are also many soldiers patrolling the city blocking here at this time.These people are all Wang Ziteng's subordinates. Hearing that the news was wrong, they came to check the situation, and then confronted the government officials in Gyeonggi Province.
In the past, the Gyeonggi Prefecture could not withstand the deterrence of these patrolling soldiers and horses.But now it's different, their governor is Song Xi, and their backs can be a bit stiff just by their surnames.
"This is the order of our lord Song. If you dare to step into the Wang family without authorization, you will be punished as an accomplice!" Gyeonggi Prefecture Prime Minister Liu Zhizhong shouted.
"Accomplice?" The general patrolling the city sneered, and asked loudly in confusion, "Then tell me clearly, what exactly did our lord Wang do?"
"This is a secret, but if the inspector wants to know, you can come in and have a try." Jia Amnesty walked to the gate of Wang's house unhurriedly, let Liu Zhizhong make way, and stretched out his hand to signal that he could enter.
The general patrolling the city heard that Jia Amnesty was the censor, and guessed that Wang Ziteng must have been impeached by the censor.On the contrary, he felt guilty, and was also afraid that his family's adults, like the previous King Jin, would suddenly be accused of treason.There are more than 100 people in my family, and they can't all accompany Mr. Wang to die.The general patrolling the city was honest, so he jumped off his horse and said that he would wait here and would not make mistakes.
At this time, Song Xi rode a horse and led a team of guards.
The crowd was busy saluting.
Song Xi squinted at the patrolling general, "Geng Junliang, lead your subordinates to patrol the city."
Geng Junliang was extremely surprised, he didn't expect that such a small person as himself, Mr. Song would be able to personally name him.Suddenly trembling with fright, he immediately took his subordinates away.
The secret guard came to report wearing night clothes: "My lord, we found the corpses in a deserted yard next to Cuibi Garden in Wang Shengjing. There are three of them in total, some of them are rotten, but they can be vaguely identified as women."
