The first paparazzi in the Red Chamber
Chapter 65 Chapter 1 Paparazzi
The person who came first reported the situation of the four or five informants.
Before they reported the crime, they really did some tricks and took off the jewelry from the woman and took it away.When the five people went up the hillside, one of them almost fell into a trap, but fortunately they were rescued in time.In other words, the trap with a circular hole at the scene of the crime was set up by the informant.
"These people are smart. They hid the jewelry in a nearby tree hole before reporting the case. This morning, everyone who saw the yamen had withdrawn, so they went into the mountain together to get it. They were monitored by their yamen. Almost caught it right."
Jia She heard that the jewelry was included in Gyeonggi Province as physical evidence, so he didn't make any comments, but only wrote the words "definitely not robbery" in his notebook.
"The woman didn't take the jewelry from her body, but she took all the accompanying belongings on the carriage, even the clothes and parcels. It was obviously a disguised robbery. This incident reminded me that there are so many things, and the murderer is alone. , No matter how hard he is, after killing so many people, he may not have the strength to take away the property, and it is likely to be buried in the nearby mountains. Go and inform the Yamen, and then go to the place where the crime happened to investigate."
After Jia Amnesty finished his orders, he asked Ding An how the investigation of his interpersonal situation was going.
"After careful investigation, when Ding An and the others set off from Maxin County, there were only [-] people in total, which was in line with the death toll. The county yamen servants are all in good shape, can write fists and kicks, and are familiar with Ding An. But the case happened They were all on duty at the county government that day, and one of them asked for leave because his mother was sick. There were testimonies from the pharmacy and the doctor that they were indeed honoring their mother at home. As for other acquaintances, Ding An had been the county magistrate in Maxin County for more than ten years. There are too many. We asked the county government to recall as much as possible and made a list."
Yachai immediately submitted the list.
Seeing that it was getting late, Jia She sent him back earlier, and because he delayed his release, Jia She also asked someone to give him some money as compensation.The yamen servants thanked the rear and resigned.
Jia Amnesty reviewed the list and saw a familiar name, Cen Wang.
When he was reading the maxin county annals before, he saw Cen Wang, the head of Leyang Village, mentioned in it.Because Leyang Village was under the jurisdiction of Puliu County, and it was in the county annals of Maxin County, Jia She paid special attention to it.
Six months ago, a place called Baiyun Village in Maxin County was hit by a fire and suffered heavy losses.This village is at the junction of Maxin County and Puliu County, not too close to Leyang Village, but if you take a shortcut, you only need to climb two mountains.When the fire broke out, the village head, Cen Wang, took the strong men in the village to rescue and help, and he was very enthusiastic.Therefore, Ding An admired him very much, and specifically mentioned him in the county annals and praised him a lot.
Leyang Village also happened to be the nearest village to the crime scene.
Jia Amnesty had brought people to stay there overnight when investigating the case.
A bit too coincidental.
Jia Amnesty circled Cen Wang's name with a cinnabar pen.Cen Wang is an old man in his seventies, he is definitely not the murderer.
But Jia Amnesty had an indescribable feeling that he was suspicious here.
Jia Amnesty carefully recalled the scene when he saw Cen Wang in Leyang Village.It was already night, and it was quite dark.Jia She was sitting in a private house in Leyang Village at that time, and glanced at Cen Wang through the window, but he couldn't see clearly.But he clearly remembered that Cen Wang enthusiastically wanted to introduce his son to help the government officials.His son is young and strong, looking at his back, he is a young man in his 30s or 30s.After careful calculation, even at [-] years old, he is still young to be the old man's son.Middle-aged child?
Cen Wang had to check this out.
After Jia Amnesty gave the order, he stretched himself, asked someone to prepare hot water, and at the same time called Jia Lian, and told him the result of his discussion with Song Xi before and decided to make him an official.
When Jia Lian heard that he had the opportunity to go to the Ministry of Internal Affairs to do internal work, he couldn't hold back his excitement. He even weighed his feet and almost rushed forward to give his father a hug.Seeing his father's face scrutinizing him calmly, he immediately stopped thinking.He immediately understood that he couldn't be happy, and his father must have warned him again.
Jia Lian suppressed his excitement, lowered his head, even if he shut up, the corners of his mouth would rise uncontrollably.
"Where is the Ministry of Internal Affairs, I don't need to say more. The affairs of serving the nobles in the palace are complicated and trivial, but none of them is trivial. The nobles in the palace can't be offended, so I don't need you." Say more, I think you also know the taboos in your heart. What I want to remind you is not this, but that you should not be too arrogant, only caring about flattering your superiors and ignoring your inferiors. The palace is a place where things change, and sometimes opportunities are fleeting. If you offend an inconspicuous little maid today, she may be promoted to concubine in a blink of an eye, and you will be severely underfoot. Fairness and justice, equal treatment, and due diligence are the most important things." Jia She said.
Jia Lian hurriedly agreed that he really liked to cater to his superiors and not his inferiors.The same is true for Wang Xifeng.But at home, after all, it is not as good as outside. Only the masters are the biggest at home, and they are not afraid of stepping on people as they please, but it is different in the palace.
"Father said it very well, son will keep it in mind."
Jia Amnesty: "Don't use my power to bully others, and use my name to do things. The job of the Yushi doctor is to monitor whether there is any inappropriate behavior of officials and family members in the court. If you hold me back and are reported, I will There is no face left to do this job.”
Jia Lian's heart trembled, and he hurriedly kowtowed to Jia Amnesty in panic.It doesn't matter if he doesn't become an official, his father is a high-ranking official, and now the entire Rongfu depends on him to support his appearance.Jia Lian said that he will be cautious in his words and deeds, follow his father's teachings, and guard against arrogance and impetuosity.
"In the beginning, people who became officials were full of ambition and vowed to be good officials. But as time went on and they faced more temptations, their hearts were easy to change. I don't want you to be such a person, I hope you can always be vigilant , Don’t forget the original intention. Only those who know how to control and control will go far and let your family enjoy happiness with you. I can watch you when I am here, but I can’t control you for the rest of my life.”
Jia She frowned slightly and sighed with emotion.He sighed for himself, and felt that it was not easy for him. Before time travel, he was unmarried, but now he has to directly raise such a big son.
However, Jia Lian felt that his father's words had a sense of sadness and vicissitudes, and it had been a long time since he had heard his father exhort him so earnestly.Jia Lian was deeply moved, and vowed to be filial to his father, and kowtowed to thank him.
When he returned to his residence, he told Wang Xifeng that he had official duties to do.Wang Xifeng was naturally happy when he heard that, and holding Jia Lian's hand, he happily kissed Jia Lian on the cheek.
Jia Lian was also very happy, but he still remembered the master's instructions in his heart, and those words were still circling in his mind.
Seeing that he was not in high spirits, Wang Xifeng asked him why.After learning about Jia Amnesty's instructions, Wang Xifeng also frowned, and told Jia Lian to pay attention to safety after becoming an official, and not to cause any trouble.
"There are enough corrupt officials who have been punished in "Secrets of Neighbors". I don't want you and the old man to be included in it one day. You have an official job, and you just need to have a good face. You don't need to go to any crooked ways to get money The family also has property, enough to spend. Amitabha, safety is the most important thing." Wang Xifeng said together.
Jia Lian squinted and looked at her with strange eyes: "Not greedy? It's so fresh to say this from your mouth. With your thoughts, don't think I don't know. When it's time to gain power and be greedy, You're even scarier than me."
Wang Xifeng didn't say a word, blinked twice, and lifted the handkerchief in his hand.
"Did I talk about the central issue?" Jia Lian asked with a sneer.
Wang Xifeng took a deep breath, "I used to think this way, but now I can't explain it clearly. If I say that I don't have the intention to love money, it is hypocritical. Who is not happy when seeing money? Money can make ghosts turn the millstones. Get some pressure on your waist." , I have the confidence to speak. But now seeing all these incidents come out, I also muttered in my heart, what can I do with money, once I fall, I am still penniless and living Miserable."
"This is true, and you will remember it in the future. I am really afraid that if I change it, you will hold me back." Jia Lian said proudly.
Wang Xifeng smiled: "If you don't hold back the Eldest Master, I certainly won't hold you back. My natal family has no one left, and the eldest brother is not up to date, and now he only relies on me to help. Right now, I'm counting on the Second Master." , as long as the second master doesn't let me down, I will definitely not do things that compare to you first."
Jia Lian looked at Wang Xifeng, Danfeng looked down shyly, her white cheeks were flushed, a little bit shy, but also a bit seductive.Jia Lian couldn't help holding Wang Xifeng's face, and kissed it hard.
"My dear daughter-in-law, since I promised to treat you well in front of my father, I won't break my promise. However, my lustful heart is inevitable. If I can't resist going out with outsiders... Hehe, please be more considerate. "Jia Amnesty laughed.
Wang Xifeng was so angry that he pushed him away, scolded him for talking badly, and told him to get out of here.
Jia Lian didn't agree, and stuck to Wang Xifeng's body, groping up and down.While tearing off her clothes and rubbing her breasts, she bowed her waist and brought her mouth up.
Wang Xifeng groaned and hit him on the head angrily.Jia Lian ignored her and carried her to bed.
"Good daughter-in-law, I see that you speak sincerely, so I dare not tell lies, every sentence is true! You say that there is no man outside who has two concubines, I will try my best to change it and devote all my energy to you, isn't it okay? "
After Jia Lian finished speaking, she put down the curtain, and she and Wang Xifeng tossed each other on the bed, causing the heavy mahogany canopy bed to shake violently.
After Wang Xifeng was full, her voice was almost hoarse, and she put on some clothes and went down to drink water.
Jia Lian looked at her lying on the bed, and said with a sneer, "It's coming out."
Wang Xifeng glared at him, and hurriedly wiped it with a handkerchief.
Jia Lian refused and coaxed her back.
"If you want a child, you lie down first."
Wang Xifeng really lay down and sneered at him, "When did you become a doctor?"
"I don't know anything else, but I know one thing, you can't give birth without my things. Let it stay for a while, maybe it will be done." Jia Lian said.
Wang Xifeng was noncommittal, she was really looking forward to having a child now, but it happened that the funeral was over, she worked hard with Jia Lian every day, and this month's sunflower water still came.It's only been a few days since I left this time, and I don't know if I can get pregnant.It won't work for a few more months, I'm afraid she will be rejected by Jia Lian and her father-in-law.
Wang Xifeng felt uneasy, turned around, and turned her back to Jia Lian, worrying herself.
Jia Lian didn't pay attention to Wang Xifeng's condition, just feeling tired, so he rolled over and fell asleep.
This time, Jia Lian slept until dawn.
After he finished washing, he thought about coming early to pay Jia Amnesty, but was told that he had already left before dawn.
Just as Jia Lian was about to leave, he heard the sound of reading books coming from the West Wing.Before he could ask, he heard Mrs. Yin laughing and sighing.
"Master Cong woke up early to study again."
Jia Lian was stunned for a moment, remembering that he never paid attention to the third younger brother who was a concubine.I happen to be free today, so I went to have a look.Pushing the door open, I saw Jia Cong holding a book and sitting on the table opposite the window reading.
When Jia Cong saw Jia Lian, he hurriedly got off the high stool and saluted Jia Lian politely.
"Hello second brother!"
Jia Lian saw that he behaved in a strict manner, like a little adult, so he smiled and picked up Jia Cong, and sent him back to his seat, telling him to continue studying without worrying about himself.
After going out and walking away from Rongxi Hall, Jia Lian was filled with emotion.The master has a high status and status, yet he gets up so early to be busy, diligent and conscientious, even the third younger brother, a child who has just finished speaking, is making progress, and now he really wants to be lazy.
After Jia Lian went back, he hurried out to walk around various cloth houses to learn how to identify good or bad cloth.He also asked someone to help inquire about the other duties of the internal staff. Before he took office, he had to learn a lot of knowledge.
The kitchen of the Rong Mansion had money left over this month, and Aunt Zhao from the kitchen came to ask Wang Xifeng for advice.
"This month, there are three taels more than last month. If you continue to save like this, the money is too much. I am afraid that the servant will lose it if he can't handle it well. Otherwise, he will return it to the cashier first?" Aunt Zhao asked.
"How come the population has not decreased, and the food is getting less and less." Wang Xifeng looked at the account.
"Nowadays, there is a master in the mansion as an example. The master is a frugal person, and he never asks for food and clothing. The little masters in the mansion also follow him. Every meal is simple, not as particular as before. This The money is naturally left over."
Wang Xifeng smiled, "I understand now."
The elder did not interfere with the food and clothing of the younger generation in the mansion, but the younger generation were too embarrassed to pass him, it was too luxurious, so now everyone learns how to eat and dress like the elder, consciously simpler and more economical than before. money.
Wang Xifeng was also like this at first, deliberately picking a few cheap dishes to eat, and starving and losing weight for a few days, but later found that the old man didn't pick these, as long as they don't waste them.
Wang Xifeng felt that she had to talk to her sisters carefully about this matter, but don't be young and delay her growth in order to follow the trend.And today is also warm, the flowers in the garden are blooming just right, why not make a table of wine and feast for the sisters.
Wang Xifeng sent Aunt Zhao to keep the money first, and promised to spend all the money in two days.Aunt Zhao responded happily, and then went.Wang Xifeng sent people to each room to explain, telling the girls to eat as much as they want, and not to waste it.
When it was almost dawn, Jia Amnesty had already brought people to Maxin County.Everyone didn't eat in the morning, and now they are hungry.There happened to be a wonton shop on the street, and the pot was boiling just right, steaming.
Jia Amnesty took his followers to eat here first.
He had just eaten half of a bowl of wontons when Jia She heard someone whisper in his ear that Mr. Song had come.Jia Amnesty looked up, and sure enough, he saw Song Xi riding a horse, wearing very high-end satin clothes, and his whole body was shining brightly.
Song Xi dismounted, and Zhu Mao, who was sitting next to Jia She, quickly gave way.Song Xi immediately sat beside Jia She, looking sideways at him.
Jia Amnesty pushed the bowl to him, "I want to eat so much? I will reluctantly give up."
"You should keep your love." Song Xi smiled, looked at the contents of the bowl, stared blankly, and pushed the bowl back.
In his heart, he really wanted to persuade Jia Amnesty not to eat it. His followers brought a lot of exquisite snacks to ensure that every taste would leave a lasting fragrance on the lips.But he knew that he and Jia She had very different dietary preferences. Sometimes Jia She liked to eat these street foods.People don't interfere with themselves, and they shouldn't interfere with him.
Jia Amnesty ate the remaining wontons one by one slowly, and asked Song Xi, "Can the government officials from Gyeonggi Province go to the mountains to search?"
"I don't know, I just wanted to chase you, and I haven't been to Gyeonggi Province yet." Song Xi explained.
Others may not feel anything after listening to Song Xi's words.Because in the understanding of these people, "chasing" just means chasing.But Jia Amnesty's ears felt hot.
Song Xi seemed a little embarrassed when he saw Jia She, thinking that Jia She hadn't adapted to the status quo when he came back.He hastily put down his hand, and quietly grabbed Jia She's left hand.
Jia Amnesty raised his brows slightly, and instead shook Song Xi's hand firmly, telling him to pay attention that he was in front of others, so he had to restrain himself.Then several people got on their horses and ran all the way to Leyang Village.
After arriving at the place, Jia Amnesty got off his horse and sent someone to find the village head. He led the people to the house where he was stationed last time.He only said that when he was working here before, he left an important secret letter here, which contained a very important list.
When Cen Wang, the head of Leyang Village, heard that Lord Yushi was here in person, he hurried over to see him in person.I also heard that the matter was confidential, so I didn't dare to be negligent, so I hurriedly asked the current residents of the house if they found any paper letters when they lived in the house, and if so, hand them over quickly.
After getting a negative answer, Cen Wang repeatedly confirmed that he had asked, and then apologized repeatedly to Jia Amnesty, and hurriedly asked his followers to look inside.I also called the villagers to help, and looked around to see if it was possible to be stepped on and brought out.Although it has been two days, as long as the letter has not been damaged by accident, it is still possible to find it.
Jia Amnesty stood at the door, telling his subordinates to search carefully, otherwise they would lose their heads.
"The letter must be found, otherwise everyone's lives will be lost." Zhu Mao shouted.
When Cen Wang heard this, he was so frightened that cold sweat broke out on his forehead.He didn't know what important content was in Lord Yushi's secret letter, and it was so important that everyone silenced it?
Cen Wang was a little panicked, but he still couldn't believe it in his heart. After all, he had lived such a big age and had experienced something.Some officials will exaggerate their words in order to scare their subordinates.Besides, the secret letter is so important, why did it take two days to find it, and it may not necessarily be left here.
Jia Amnesty sighed, and turned to respectfully salute Song Xi: "Please, Mr. Song, calm down and help me speak nicely in front of the emperor. After my people sent the secret letter back then, because I was busy investigating the case, Forget about delaying this important matter. Even if you really can't find the letter, just punish me alone, and the people of Leyang Village are innocent."
Song Xi reacted quickly to Jia She's sudden move, with almost no flaws on his face, he immediately put on a more difficult and cold face, and even looked at Jia She with a lot of contempt and disdain.
"I can control the Sacred Heart. Mr. Jia has been careless for a day or two. If something really happened, he deserves to be taught a lesson! I advise you to take care of yourself!" Song Xi said in an extremely cold tone.
When Cen Wang just arrived, he found that there was an extraordinary and handsome adult who came with Jia She. He was still guessing who he was just now, but then he heard that this was Song Xi, the famous uncle in Beijing.I don't doubt what he said, it turns out Mr. Jia is notoriously rough-hearted!Cen Wang's heart skipped a beat immediately, and he began to believe that the serious consequences of losing the secret letter were true.
Cen Wang's forehead began to break out in cold sweat, and his originally sturdy body shook twice.Seeing this, his son Cen Laide hurried over to help his father, glaring at Jia She and Song Xi angrily.
"What does the lost letter have anything to do with our village? Why should our lives be wasted!" Cen Laide protested.
He is of ordinary appearance, with a square face, tall stature, and thick shoulders.
Jia Amnesty observed his arms specially, the muscles were thick, it must be the strength of the arms.
At first glance, this person seemed simple and honest, but when he got angry at this moment, he stared out a pair of very penetrating eyes.
"Laid, why are you talking to adults? Shut up!" Cen Wang hastily pulled his son to kneel down to apologize to Jia She and Song Xi.
Song Xi had a tall face, his cold eyes swept over the father and son, and then looked away, without saying a word.
Jia Amnesty hastily stretched out his hand to signal the two to get up, saying that it was his fault.
Seeing Jia She's approachable attitude, Cen Wang sighed in his heart that it was useless for him to do so, and the key to the fatal matter lay with that Lord Song.But seeing Mr. Song like that again, I was even more afraid of him and more worried.Instead, he patted Cen Laide's arm, blaming him for talking too much, for offending Mr. Song.
Cen Laide lowered his head, allowing Cen Wang to beat and scold him.
Jia Amnesty soon observed that Cen Laide secretly gave Song Xi a glance when everyone was not paying attention, suppressed the corners of his mouth, the muscles around his eyes tightened, and a strong murderous look suddenly appeared in his eyes.
This is boldness.
When facing two first-rank officials at the same time, he, a small villager, can feel fearless and murderous.
Jia Amnesty and Song Xi immediately looked at each other, tacit understanding.
"I found it." Zhu Mao came over with a letter and said with a smile, "It's caught between the table and the wall."
"This family is illiterate, and adults can ask questions at will. In our entire village, there are very few literate people except me, and Zhang Xiucai from the east of the village." Cen Wang heaved a sigh of relief, feeling as if he had been reborn. Jia Amnesty would implicate the innocent, so he quickly explained.
Seeing that the matter was resolved safely, Cen Laide lowered his head and remained silent, looking honest and honest again.
"I wonder how your lord's case is going?" Cen Wang asked.
When Jia Amnesty heard that he took the initiative to bring this up, it saved him the trouble of finding something to talk about, so he answered directly: "It has been confirmed that it is an acquaintance who committed the crime, not a bandit, and is currently investigating."
When Jia Amnesty was speaking, he kept looking at Cen Laide from the corner of his eye, and seeing that his body was a little stiff, he knew it better.
After leaving Leyang Village, Jia She and his party rode forward slowly.After walking for about a stick of incense, I saw a donkey cart approaching ahead, with a few men sitting on it, who looked like peasants.The black pig came down in a tattered beggar's clothes, and then came to beg.
Zhu Mao hurriedly got off his horse and drove away, grabbing the black pig's arm, and said in a low voice to him: "Master ordered, confirm the suspicion of Cen Laide in Leyang Village. You go to Leyang Village to find someone to make a breakthrough, the best excuse is to be a relative for a while. Stop, let Ghost Three go! Cen Laide must not be seen by his appearance, and his methods are ruthless, try not to reveal his flaws. Monitor his whereabouts, and do not take any unnecessary actions unless he kills someone again or reveals conclusive evidence of murder , don’t act rashly.”
"Thank you, master, for the reward!"
After the black pig shouted loudly, he turned around and got on the donkey cart, and then explained to the third and other people who had disguised themselves as ghosts.The situation in Leyang Village has also been investigated in advance.Which one is easy to start and easy to handle, they naturally know it well.
After returning to Beijing, Jia Amnesty and Song Xi went to work in their respective yamen.
As soon as Jia She stepped into the gate of Yushitai with his front foot, Qin Zhonglu chased after him, and quietly told Jia She that someone from Yushitai wanted to join him.
Jia Amnesty picked up the tea that the servant had just brought, paused his hands, and looked at Qin Zhonglu: "Your trial memorial?"
"Yes, I kindly persuaded you, but he must join you, so I can't control it anymore." Qin Zhonglu said helplessly.
"Join me for what?" Jia Amnesty didn't care who it was, but only asked about the content.
"Shen you embezzle power." Qin Zhonglu paused, then looked at Jia Amnesty in bewilderment, "Why didn't you ask me who I am? You must never have guessed that it was Liang Leyun! A few days ago, I just confessed in front of me and said how much I admire you." You, turn your head and turn your face away. Today he suddenly said that you, like Fang Qin, lied to him. You are not an adult who handles cases impartially, which he admires. He also said that he was very disappointed and wanted to learn from "Secrets of the Neighbor" Like, expose the true face of corrupt officials without fear."
When Qin Zhonglu said these words, he deliberately looked at Jia Amnesty's expression and attitude.Your lord is indeed a lord, but it's unusual that he has a flat expression and no response.Could it be that, as the ancients said, 'Those who are close to vermilion are red and those who are close to ink are black', Mr. Jia and Mr. Song have become cold and indifferent after staying with Mr. Song for a long time, and he is about to transcend into a fairy?
"Understood, thank you very much, I will treat you to dinner another day." Jia She paused, and added, "We will eat at Song Xi's mansion."
Qin Zhonglu was already very happy, but he was even happier when he heard that he would go to Mr. Song's house, thank you again and again.Before going out, he still couldn't turn his head around, he always felt that what Jia She said just now was awkward.At this moment, he suddenly realized that Jia Amnesty called Mr. Song by his name directly, and called him by his name without changing his face!
Whoops, this is big news.Looking at the entire Yushitai, only Qin Zhonglu knew about the close relationship between Mr. Song and Mr. Jia.Before, he was a little worried that Mr. Song was so powerful that he might bully the honest and honest Mr. Jia.Now that he heard it like this, it seemed that Mr. Jia had mastered Mr. Song very well, otherwise he would not have called Mr. Song's name casually, and arranged for himself to go to Mr. Song's house for dinner.
Qin Zhonglu suddenly felt happy, happy for Jia She.I don't know why, but at the beginning, he was actually a close friend of Master Song, but after getting along with Master Jia at Yushitai, his heart naturally turned to Master Jia.
Qin Zhonglu said sorry guiltily in his heart, which was regarded as an apology to Song Xichao.Then continue to be happy and happy, looking forward to the day when Jia She invites me to the Song Mansion for dinner.
……
The emperor had just read Liang Leyun's memorial and was in a complicated mood.
The book said that Jia Amnesty deliberately delayed and concealed the truth of the Yuzhou disaster relief corruption case, and wantonly accepted bribes from Zuo Zhiqiu and Jia Yucun.For example, some solitary copies of miscellaneous notes, and let his son accept bribes from the two of them in disguise by selling jade.
The emperor has always been very optimistic about Jia She, he handles things properly, objectively and fairly, and after more than half a year of observation, the emperor is more and more appreciative of Jia She, intending to rely on him as a confidant.If Jia Amnesty really did as said in the memorial, becoming a high-ranking official changed his mind and began to indulge in corruption, that would really disappoint him.
This is the note from Yushitai. The emperor believed that Jia She, as the Yushi doctor, would soon know that he was embezzled by his subordinates.
The emperor was not in a hurry to summon Jia Amnesty.He wanted to wait for Jia Amnesty to take the initiative to explain, but to see how he could explain his innocence with eloquence.
Then the emperor waited for a day, but Jia Amnesty did not come.
The emperor was a little impatient, and sent Dai Quan to inquire if it was because Jia She was ignorant and didn't know about his participation in the book.
After a while, Dai Quan informed the emperor of the news, "It is said that since this morning, Lord Qin has mentioned it. However, he has not made a statement, and he is still working and resting as usual, handling the official affairs of Yushitai, and accompanying Prime Minister Wu to deal with state affairs. "
The emperor laughed and sighed helplessly: "He can hold it!"
Then I thought about it, why did Jia Amnesty do things so calmly and calmly, without panicking at all?Maybe he really didn't do anything wrong, so he wasn't afraid of false accusations.
The emperor immediately sent someone to investigate the matter in detail, whether Jia Amnesty had accepted the priceless copy, and whether his son had accepted bribes in disguise for his father.
Because it was all a matter in the capital, and the secret guards around the emperor were not vegetarians, they soon found out what happened at noon the next day and reported it to the emperor.
As soon as the emperor heard about the so-called orphan copy given to Jia Sheil, it was returned long ago, and Zuo Zhiqiu followed Jia She's suggestion to print and share the orphan copy for the world to see.This Jia Amnesty is obviously teaching people to learn how to be good, and to do good deeds for the welfare of scholars all over the world. What is corruption!As for Jia Amnesty's son's jade business, they didn't sell inferior goods at high prices. The real jade was worth that much money in the market, and the buying and selling were voluntary, and it couldn't be considered corruption.At best, it can only be said that favors take care of business, which is a little subtle.
The emperor felt that the latter's behavior might not be good, but it was not a serious problem.Compared with other ministers in the DPRK, Jia She is already very contented to be able to do this.
And in the afternoon, the emperor got a new piece of news, which was obtained from inside the Rong Mansion.Jia Lian's son actually kept a special account book, and donated all the money he earned from selling to Zuo Zhiqiu and others to the temple to support the construction of porridge sheds to help the poor and beggars.
The emperor calmed down completely, and at the same time praised Jia Shede for his noble conduct and ability to discipline his heirs.At the same time, he felt more and more that Liang Leyun was sloppy and messed up too much, which almost caused him to lose a completely trustworthy confidant.
Compared with his superiors, Liang Leyun's ability to act is nothing like cloud and mud.But the emperor didn't doubt this person's character, the emperor knew that Liang Leyun was a good young man with a clear heart, after all, he dared to participate in the performance of his superiors so boldly, which was enough to show his noble character without fear of power.
It's a pity that if you want to be a censor, your qualifications may not be enough.
The emperor then ordered Liang Leyun to be demoted from fourth-rank censor censor to sixth-rank censor, and asked him to follow Jia She to learn the essentials of objectivity and fairness from now on.
Liang Leyun was stunned when he suddenly received an order to demote an official.He had obviously visited the servants in Zuo Zhiqiu's mansion, and confirmed that Jia Amnesty had been bribed by Zuo Zhiqiu.He also visited Jia She's son Jia Lian who sold jade wares, and he was not wrong.Why was he suddenly reprimanded by the emperor?Moreover, the emperor even relegated him to Jia She's handbook. From then on, wouldn't he want to let Jia She toss him around and be rounded and flattened at will?
Liang Leyun was still dissatisfied, and at first he stubbornly refused to pack his things, but later he was told that his participation in Jia's amnesty was all a misunderstanding, and it was completely unfounded.Liang Leyunfang suddenly realized that he was wrong, and hurriedly carried his things to Doctor Yushi to apologize.
"My lord!" Liang Leyun honestly apologized to Jia Amnesty repeatedly, but he never responded.
Jia Amnesty was still buried in writing, without raising his eyelids.
Liang Leyun awkwardly hugged his belongings and stood there, neither leaving nor staying.
The room was eerie and quiet, the cramped Liang Leyun's heart was pounding, and he was sweating profusely.
"Who asked you to join me?"
A deep and magnetic male voice suddenly sounded, the voice was not loud, but it made Liang Leyun tremble in fright, and threw the ink brush and other things in his hand on the ground.
Liang Leyun hurriedly knelt on the ground, packed up his things, and then remembered that he should reply to Jia Amnesty's words.
"It's my fault that my subordinates were obsessed with ghosts for a while, thinking that the content of the letter sent by "Secrets of Neighbors" was true. After a hasty investigation, I really believed it, and wrongly participated in the sir. Damn you, sir, please punish me." Liang Leyun sternly He kowtowed to Jia Amnesty and wept bitterly.
He originally had good intentions, without any malice, but only with the intention of punishing rape and eradicating evil.But unexpectedly, he misunderstood and almost framed Zhongliang.
Hearing this, Jia She raised his head and asked calmly, "Is the letter still there?"
"Yes, my subordinate may have been summoned by the emperor to read it, so I always carry it with me." Liang Leyun glanced at Jia She guiltily, and hurriedly pulled out the letter from his sleeve and handed it to Jia She.
Jia Amnesty looked at the envelope, there was no seal, and when he typed the letter to see the contents, there was no seal except the words.This is not a letter from the neighbor's secret, but judging from the content and signature, it must be that someone pretended to have the neighbor's secret to communicate to Liang Leyun. Liang Leyun did not have the ability to discern, so he believed it.
It seems that some people want to put a label of corruption on themselves through Liang Leyun's participation.
Jia Amnesty left the letter behind and asked Liang Leyun how the letter was received. When he learned that it was a secret letter and there were no clues, he sent Liang Leyun out and told him to do whatever he was supposed to do.
At this time, people from Gyeonggi Province and Guisan's people came at the same time, and returned with Jia Amnesty.
"The little ones followed Cen Laide and found his murder tools and a set of bloody clothes in a dense cave near the stream in the dense forest."
"The subordinates pushed aside the leaves fifteen feet to the west of the crime scene, found traces of Xinfantu, and then dug out the property hidden by the murderer."
Before they reported the crime, they really did some tricks and took off the jewelry from the woman and took it away.When the five people went up the hillside, one of them almost fell into a trap, but fortunately they were rescued in time.In other words, the trap with a circular hole at the scene of the crime was set up by the informant.
"These people are smart. They hid the jewelry in a nearby tree hole before reporting the case. This morning, everyone who saw the yamen had withdrawn, so they went into the mountain together to get it. They were monitored by their yamen. Almost caught it right."
Jia She heard that the jewelry was included in Gyeonggi Province as physical evidence, so he didn't make any comments, but only wrote the words "definitely not robbery" in his notebook.
"The woman didn't take the jewelry from her body, but she took all the accompanying belongings on the carriage, even the clothes and parcels. It was obviously a disguised robbery. This incident reminded me that there are so many things, and the murderer is alone. , No matter how hard he is, after killing so many people, he may not have the strength to take away the property, and it is likely to be buried in the nearby mountains. Go and inform the Yamen, and then go to the place where the crime happened to investigate."
After Jia Amnesty finished his orders, he asked Ding An how the investigation of his interpersonal situation was going.
"After careful investigation, when Ding An and the others set off from Maxin County, there were only [-] people in total, which was in line with the death toll. The county yamen servants are all in good shape, can write fists and kicks, and are familiar with Ding An. But the case happened They were all on duty at the county government that day, and one of them asked for leave because his mother was sick. There were testimonies from the pharmacy and the doctor that they were indeed honoring their mother at home. As for other acquaintances, Ding An had been the county magistrate in Maxin County for more than ten years. There are too many. We asked the county government to recall as much as possible and made a list."
Yachai immediately submitted the list.
Seeing that it was getting late, Jia She sent him back earlier, and because he delayed his release, Jia She also asked someone to give him some money as compensation.The yamen servants thanked the rear and resigned.
Jia Amnesty reviewed the list and saw a familiar name, Cen Wang.
When he was reading the maxin county annals before, he saw Cen Wang, the head of Leyang Village, mentioned in it.Because Leyang Village was under the jurisdiction of Puliu County, and it was in the county annals of Maxin County, Jia She paid special attention to it.
Six months ago, a place called Baiyun Village in Maxin County was hit by a fire and suffered heavy losses.This village is at the junction of Maxin County and Puliu County, not too close to Leyang Village, but if you take a shortcut, you only need to climb two mountains.When the fire broke out, the village head, Cen Wang, took the strong men in the village to rescue and help, and he was very enthusiastic.Therefore, Ding An admired him very much, and specifically mentioned him in the county annals and praised him a lot.
Leyang Village also happened to be the nearest village to the crime scene.
Jia Amnesty had brought people to stay there overnight when investigating the case.
A bit too coincidental.
Jia Amnesty circled Cen Wang's name with a cinnabar pen.Cen Wang is an old man in his seventies, he is definitely not the murderer.
But Jia Amnesty had an indescribable feeling that he was suspicious here.
Jia Amnesty carefully recalled the scene when he saw Cen Wang in Leyang Village.It was already night, and it was quite dark.Jia She was sitting in a private house in Leyang Village at that time, and glanced at Cen Wang through the window, but he couldn't see clearly.But he clearly remembered that Cen Wang enthusiastically wanted to introduce his son to help the government officials.His son is young and strong, looking at his back, he is a young man in his 30s or 30s.After careful calculation, even at [-] years old, he is still young to be the old man's son.Middle-aged child?
Cen Wang had to check this out.
After Jia Amnesty gave the order, he stretched himself, asked someone to prepare hot water, and at the same time called Jia Lian, and told him the result of his discussion with Song Xi before and decided to make him an official.
When Jia Lian heard that he had the opportunity to go to the Ministry of Internal Affairs to do internal work, he couldn't hold back his excitement. He even weighed his feet and almost rushed forward to give his father a hug.Seeing his father's face scrutinizing him calmly, he immediately stopped thinking.He immediately understood that he couldn't be happy, and his father must have warned him again.
Jia Lian suppressed his excitement, lowered his head, even if he shut up, the corners of his mouth would rise uncontrollably.
"Where is the Ministry of Internal Affairs, I don't need to say more. The affairs of serving the nobles in the palace are complicated and trivial, but none of them is trivial. The nobles in the palace can't be offended, so I don't need you." Say more, I think you also know the taboos in your heart. What I want to remind you is not this, but that you should not be too arrogant, only caring about flattering your superiors and ignoring your inferiors. The palace is a place where things change, and sometimes opportunities are fleeting. If you offend an inconspicuous little maid today, she may be promoted to concubine in a blink of an eye, and you will be severely underfoot. Fairness and justice, equal treatment, and due diligence are the most important things." Jia She said.
Jia Lian hurriedly agreed that he really liked to cater to his superiors and not his inferiors.The same is true for Wang Xifeng.But at home, after all, it is not as good as outside. Only the masters are the biggest at home, and they are not afraid of stepping on people as they please, but it is different in the palace.
"Father said it very well, son will keep it in mind."
Jia Amnesty: "Don't use my power to bully others, and use my name to do things. The job of the Yushi doctor is to monitor whether there is any inappropriate behavior of officials and family members in the court. If you hold me back and are reported, I will There is no face left to do this job.”
Jia Lian's heart trembled, and he hurriedly kowtowed to Jia Amnesty in panic.It doesn't matter if he doesn't become an official, his father is a high-ranking official, and now the entire Rongfu depends on him to support his appearance.Jia Lian said that he will be cautious in his words and deeds, follow his father's teachings, and guard against arrogance and impetuosity.
"In the beginning, people who became officials were full of ambition and vowed to be good officials. But as time went on and they faced more temptations, their hearts were easy to change. I don't want you to be such a person, I hope you can always be vigilant , Don’t forget the original intention. Only those who know how to control and control will go far and let your family enjoy happiness with you. I can watch you when I am here, but I can’t control you for the rest of my life.”
Jia She frowned slightly and sighed with emotion.He sighed for himself, and felt that it was not easy for him. Before time travel, he was unmarried, but now he has to directly raise such a big son.
However, Jia Lian felt that his father's words had a sense of sadness and vicissitudes, and it had been a long time since he had heard his father exhort him so earnestly.Jia Lian was deeply moved, and vowed to be filial to his father, and kowtowed to thank him.
When he returned to his residence, he told Wang Xifeng that he had official duties to do.Wang Xifeng was naturally happy when he heard that, and holding Jia Lian's hand, he happily kissed Jia Lian on the cheek.
Jia Lian was also very happy, but he still remembered the master's instructions in his heart, and those words were still circling in his mind.
Seeing that he was not in high spirits, Wang Xifeng asked him why.After learning about Jia Amnesty's instructions, Wang Xifeng also frowned, and told Jia Lian to pay attention to safety after becoming an official, and not to cause any trouble.
"There are enough corrupt officials who have been punished in "Secrets of Neighbors". I don't want you and the old man to be included in it one day. You have an official job, and you just need to have a good face. You don't need to go to any crooked ways to get money The family also has property, enough to spend. Amitabha, safety is the most important thing." Wang Xifeng said together.
Jia Lian squinted and looked at her with strange eyes: "Not greedy? It's so fresh to say this from your mouth. With your thoughts, don't think I don't know. When it's time to gain power and be greedy, You're even scarier than me."
Wang Xifeng didn't say a word, blinked twice, and lifted the handkerchief in his hand.
"Did I talk about the central issue?" Jia Lian asked with a sneer.
Wang Xifeng took a deep breath, "I used to think this way, but now I can't explain it clearly. If I say that I don't have the intention to love money, it is hypocritical. Who is not happy when seeing money? Money can make ghosts turn the millstones. Get some pressure on your waist." , I have the confidence to speak. But now seeing all these incidents come out, I also muttered in my heart, what can I do with money, once I fall, I am still penniless and living Miserable."
"This is true, and you will remember it in the future. I am really afraid that if I change it, you will hold me back." Jia Lian said proudly.
Wang Xifeng smiled: "If you don't hold back the Eldest Master, I certainly won't hold you back. My natal family has no one left, and the eldest brother is not up to date, and now he only relies on me to help. Right now, I'm counting on the Second Master." , as long as the second master doesn't let me down, I will definitely not do things that compare to you first."
Jia Lian looked at Wang Xifeng, Danfeng looked down shyly, her white cheeks were flushed, a little bit shy, but also a bit seductive.Jia Lian couldn't help holding Wang Xifeng's face, and kissed it hard.
"My dear daughter-in-law, since I promised to treat you well in front of my father, I won't break my promise. However, my lustful heart is inevitable. If I can't resist going out with outsiders... Hehe, please be more considerate. "Jia Amnesty laughed.
Wang Xifeng was so angry that he pushed him away, scolded him for talking badly, and told him to get out of here.
Jia Lian didn't agree, and stuck to Wang Xifeng's body, groping up and down.While tearing off her clothes and rubbing her breasts, she bowed her waist and brought her mouth up.
Wang Xifeng groaned and hit him on the head angrily.Jia Lian ignored her and carried her to bed.
"Good daughter-in-law, I see that you speak sincerely, so I dare not tell lies, every sentence is true! You say that there is no man outside who has two concubines, I will try my best to change it and devote all my energy to you, isn't it okay? "
After Jia Lian finished speaking, she put down the curtain, and she and Wang Xifeng tossed each other on the bed, causing the heavy mahogany canopy bed to shake violently.
After Wang Xifeng was full, her voice was almost hoarse, and she put on some clothes and went down to drink water.
Jia Lian looked at her lying on the bed, and said with a sneer, "It's coming out."
Wang Xifeng glared at him, and hurriedly wiped it with a handkerchief.
Jia Lian refused and coaxed her back.
"If you want a child, you lie down first."
Wang Xifeng really lay down and sneered at him, "When did you become a doctor?"
"I don't know anything else, but I know one thing, you can't give birth without my things. Let it stay for a while, maybe it will be done." Jia Lian said.
Wang Xifeng was noncommittal, she was really looking forward to having a child now, but it happened that the funeral was over, she worked hard with Jia Lian every day, and this month's sunflower water still came.It's only been a few days since I left this time, and I don't know if I can get pregnant.It won't work for a few more months, I'm afraid she will be rejected by Jia Lian and her father-in-law.
Wang Xifeng felt uneasy, turned around, and turned her back to Jia Lian, worrying herself.
Jia Lian didn't pay attention to Wang Xifeng's condition, just feeling tired, so he rolled over and fell asleep.
This time, Jia Lian slept until dawn.
After he finished washing, he thought about coming early to pay Jia Amnesty, but was told that he had already left before dawn.
Just as Jia Lian was about to leave, he heard the sound of reading books coming from the West Wing.Before he could ask, he heard Mrs. Yin laughing and sighing.
"Master Cong woke up early to study again."
Jia Lian was stunned for a moment, remembering that he never paid attention to the third younger brother who was a concubine.I happen to be free today, so I went to have a look.Pushing the door open, I saw Jia Cong holding a book and sitting on the table opposite the window reading.
When Jia Cong saw Jia Lian, he hurriedly got off the high stool and saluted Jia Lian politely.
"Hello second brother!"
Jia Lian saw that he behaved in a strict manner, like a little adult, so he smiled and picked up Jia Cong, and sent him back to his seat, telling him to continue studying without worrying about himself.
After going out and walking away from Rongxi Hall, Jia Lian was filled with emotion.The master has a high status and status, yet he gets up so early to be busy, diligent and conscientious, even the third younger brother, a child who has just finished speaking, is making progress, and now he really wants to be lazy.
After Jia Lian went back, he hurried out to walk around various cloth houses to learn how to identify good or bad cloth.He also asked someone to help inquire about the other duties of the internal staff. Before he took office, he had to learn a lot of knowledge.
The kitchen of the Rong Mansion had money left over this month, and Aunt Zhao from the kitchen came to ask Wang Xifeng for advice.
"This month, there are three taels more than last month. If you continue to save like this, the money is too much. I am afraid that the servant will lose it if he can't handle it well. Otherwise, he will return it to the cashier first?" Aunt Zhao asked.
"How come the population has not decreased, and the food is getting less and less." Wang Xifeng looked at the account.
"Nowadays, there is a master in the mansion as an example. The master is a frugal person, and he never asks for food and clothing. The little masters in the mansion also follow him. Every meal is simple, not as particular as before. This The money is naturally left over."
Wang Xifeng smiled, "I understand now."
The elder did not interfere with the food and clothing of the younger generation in the mansion, but the younger generation were too embarrassed to pass him, it was too luxurious, so now everyone learns how to eat and dress like the elder, consciously simpler and more economical than before. money.
Wang Xifeng was also like this at first, deliberately picking a few cheap dishes to eat, and starving and losing weight for a few days, but later found that the old man didn't pick these, as long as they don't waste them.
Wang Xifeng felt that she had to talk to her sisters carefully about this matter, but don't be young and delay her growth in order to follow the trend.And today is also warm, the flowers in the garden are blooming just right, why not make a table of wine and feast for the sisters.
Wang Xifeng sent Aunt Zhao to keep the money first, and promised to spend all the money in two days.Aunt Zhao responded happily, and then went.Wang Xifeng sent people to each room to explain, telling the girls to eat as much as they want, and not to waste it.
When it was almost dawn, Jia Amnesty had already brought people to Maxin County.Everyone didn't eat in the morning, and now they are hungry.There happened to be a wonton shop on the street, and the pot was boiling just right, steaming.
Jia Amnesty took his followers to eat here first.
He had just eaten half of a bowl of wontons when Jia She heard someone whisper in his ear that Mr. Song had come.Jia Amnesty looked up, and sure enough, he saw Song Xi riding a horse, wearing very high-end satin clothes, and his whole body was shining brightly.
Song Xi dismounted, and Zhu Mao, who was sitting next to Jia She, quickly gave way.Song Xi immediately sat beside Jia She, looking sideways at him.
Jia Amnesty pushed the bowl to him, "I want to eat so much? I will reluctantly give up."
"You should keep your love." Song Xi smiled, looked at the contents of the bowl, stared blankly, and pushed the bowl back.
In his heart, he really wanted to persuade Jia Amnesty not to eat it. His followers brought a lot of exquisite snacks to ensure that every taste would leave a lasting fragrance on the lips.But he knew that he and Jia She had very different dietary preferences. Sometimes Jia She liked to eat these street foods.People don't interfere with themselves, and they shouldn't interfere with him.
Jia Amnesty ate the remaining wontons one by one slowly, and asked Song Xi, "Can the government officials from Gyeonggi Province go to the mountains to search?"
"I don't know, I just wanted to chase you, and I haven't been to Gyeonggi Province yet." Song Xi explained.
Others may not feel anything after listening to Song Xi's words.Because in the understanding of these people, "chasing" just means chasing.But Jia Amnesty's ears felt hot.
Song Xi seemed a little embarrassed when he saw Jia She, thinking that Jia She hadn't adapted to the status quo when he came back.He hastily put down his hand, and quietly grabbed Jia She's left hand.
Jia Amnesty raised his brows slightly, and instead shook Song Xi's hand firmly, telling him to pay attention that he was in front of others, so he had to restrain himself.Then several people got on their horses and ran all the way to Leyang Village.
After arriving at the place, Jia Amnesty got off his horse and sent someone to find the village head. He led the people to the house where he was stationed last time.He only said that when he was working here before, he left an important secret letter here, which contained a very important list.
When Cen Wang, the head of Leyang Village, heard that Lord Yushi was here in person, he hurried over to see him in person.I also heard that the matter was confidential, so I didn't dare to be negligent, so I hurriedly asked the current residents of the house if they found any paper letters when they lived in the house, and if so, hand them over quickly.
After getting a negative answer, Cen Wang repeatedly confirmed that he had asked, and then apologized repeatedly to Jia Amnesty, and hurriedly asked his followers to look inside.I also called the villagers to help, and looked around to see if it was possible to be stepped on and brought out.Although it has been two days, as long as the letter has not been damaged by accident, it is still possible to find it.
Jia Amnesty stood at the door, telling his subordinates to search carefully, otherwise they would lose their heads.
"The letter must be found, otherwise everyone's lives will be lost." Zhu Mao shouted.
When Cen Wang heard this, he was so frightened that cold sweat broke out on his forehead.He didn't know what important content was in Lord Yushi's secret letter, and it was so important that everyone silenced it?
Cen Wang was a little panicked, but he still couldn't believe it in his heart. After all, he had lived such a big age and had experienced something.Some officials will exaggerate their words in order to scare their subordinates.Besides, the secret letter is so important, why did it take two days to find it, and it may not necessarily be left here.
Jia Amnesty sighed, and turned to respectfully salute Song Xi: "Please, Mr. Song, calm down and help me speak nicely in front of the emperor. After my people sent the secret letter back then, because I was busy investigating the case, Forget about delaying this important matter. Even if you really can't find the letter, just punish me alone, and the people of Leyang Village are innocent."
Song Xi reacted quickly to Jia She's sudden move, with almost no flaws on his face, he immediately put on a more difficult and cold face, and even looked at Jia She with a lot of contempt and disdain.
"I can control the Sacred Heart. Mr. Jia has been careless for a day or two. If something really happened, he deserves to be taught a lesson! I advise you to take care of yourself!" Song Xi said in an extremely cold tone.
When Cen Wang just arrived, he found that there was an extraordinary and handsome adult who came with Jia She. He was still guessing who he was just now, but then he heard that this was Song Xi, the famous uncle in Beijing.I don't doubt what he said, it turns out Mr. Jia is notoriously rough-hearted!Cen Wang's heart skipped a beat immediately, and he began to believe that the serious consequences of losing the secret letter were true.
Cen Wang's forehead began to break out in cold sweat, and his originally sturdy body shook twice.Seeing this, his son Cen Laide hurried over to help his father, glaring at Jia She and Song Xi angrily.
"What does the lost letter have anything to do with our village? Why should our lives be wasted!" Cen Laide protested.
He is of ordinary appearance, with a square face, tall stature, and thick shoulders.
Jia Amnesty observed his arms specially, the muscles were thick, it must be the strength of the arms.
At first glance, this person seemed simple and honest, but when he got angry at this moment, he stared out a pair of very penetrating eyes.
"Laid, why are you talking to adults? Shut up!" Cen Wang hastily pulled his son to kneel down to apologize to Jia She and Song Xi.
Song Xi had a tall face, his cold eyes swept over the father and son, and then looked away, without saying a word.
Jia Amnesty hastily stretched out his hand to signal the two to get up, saying that it was his fault.
Seeing Jia She's approachable attitude, Cen Wang sighed in his heart that it was useless for him to do so, and the key to the fatal matter lay with that Lord Song.But seeing Mr. Song like that again, I was even more afraid of him and more worried.Instead, he patted Cen Laide's arm, blaming him for talking too much, for offending Mr. Song.
Cen Laide lowered his head, allowing Cen Wang to beat and scold him.
Jia Amnesty soon observed that Cen Laide secretly gave Song Xi a glance when everyone was not paying attention, suppressed the corners of his mouth, the muscles around his eyes tightened, and a strong murderous look suddenly appeared in his eyes.
This is boldness.
When facing two first-rank officials at the same time, he, a small villager, can feel fearless and murderous.
Jia Amnesty and Song Xi immediately looked at each other, tacit understanding.
"I found it." Zhu Mao came over with a letter and said with a smile, "It's caught between the table and the wall."
"This family is illiterate, and adults can ask questions at will. In our entire village, there are very few literate people except me, and Zhang Xiucai from the east of the village." Cen Wang heaved a sigh of relief, feeling as if he had been reborn. Jia Amnesty would implicate the innocent, so he quickly explained.
Seeing that the matter was resolved safely, Cen Laide lowered his head and remained silent, looking honest and honest again.
"I wonder how your lord's case is going?" Cen Wang asked.
When Jia Amnesty heard that he took the initiative to bring this up, it saved him the trouble of finding something to talk about, so he answered directly: "It has been confirmed that it is an acquaintance who committed the crime, not a bandit, and is currently investigating."
When Jia Amnesty was speaking, he kept looking at Cen Laide from the corner of his eye, and seeing that his body was a little stiff, he knew it better.
After leaving Leyang Village, Jia She and his party rode forward slowly.After walking for about a stick of incense, I saw a donkey cart approaching ahead, with a few men sitting on it, who looked like peasants.The black pig came down in a tattered beggar's clothes, and then came to beg.
Zhu Mao hurriedly got off his horse and drove away, grabbing the black pig's arm, and said in a low voice to him: "Master ordered, confirm the suspicion of Cen Laide in Leyang Village. You go to Leyang Village to find someone to make a breakthrough, the best excuse is to be a relative for a while. Stop, let Ghost Three go! Cen Laide must not be seen by his appearance, and his methods are ruthless, try not to reveal his flaws. Monitor his whereabouts, and do not take any unnecessary actions unless he kills someone again or reveals conclusive evidence of murder , don’t act rashly.”
"Thank you, master, for the reward!"
After the black pig shouted loudly, he turned around and got on the donkey cart, and then explained to the third and other people who had disguised themselves as ghosts.The situation in Leyang Village has also been investigated in advance.Which one is easy to start and easy to handle, they naturally know it well.
After returning to Beijing, Jia Amnesty and Song Xi went to work in their respective yamen.
As soon as Jia She stepped into the gate of Yushitai with his front foot, Qin Zhonglu chased after him, and quietly told Jia She that someone from Yushitai wanted to join him.
Jia Amnesty picked up the tea that the servant had just brought, paused his hands, and looked at Qin Zhonglu: "Your trial memorial?"
"Yes, I kindly persuaded you, but he must join you, so I can't control it anymore." Qin Zhonglu said helplessly.
"Join me for what?" Jia Amnesty didn't care who it was, but only asked about the content.
"Shen you embezzle power." Qin Zhonglu paused, then looked at Jia Amnesty in bewilderment, "Why didn't you ask me who I am? You must never have guessed that it was Liang Leyun! A few days ago, I just confessed in front of me and said how much I admire you." You, turn your head and turn your face away. Today he suddenly said that you, like Fang Qin, lied to him. You are not an adult who handles cases impartially, which he admires. He also said that he was very disappointed and wanted to learn from "Secrets of the Neighbor" Like, expose the true face of corrupt officials without fear."
When Qin Zhonglu said these words, he deliberately looked at Jia Amnesty's expression and attitude.Your lord is indeed a lord, but it's unusual that he has a flat expression and no response.Could it be that, as the ancients said, 'Those who are close to vermilion are red and those who are close to ink are black', Mr. Jia and Mr. Song have become cold and indifferent after staying with Mr. Song for a long time, and he is about to transcend into a fairy?
"Understood, thank you very much, I will treat you to dinner another day." Jia She paused, and added, "We will eat at Song Xi's mansion."
Qin Zhonglu was already very happy, but he was even happier when he heard that he would go to Mr. Song's house, thank you again and again.Before going out, he still couldn't turn his head around, he always felt that what Jia She said just now was awkward.At this moment, he suddenly realized that Jia Amnesty called Mr. Song by his name directly, and called him by his name without changing his face!
Whoops, this is big news.Looking at the entire Yushitai, only Qin Zhonglu knew about the close relationship between Mr. Song and Mr. Jia.Before, he was a little worried that Mr. Song was so powerful that he might bully the honest and honest Mr. Jia.Now that he heard it like this, it seemed that Mr. Jia had mastered Mr. Song very well, otherwise he would not have called Mr. Song's name casually, and arranged for himself to go to Mr. Song's house for dinner.
Qin Zhonglu suddenly felt happy, happy for Jia She.I don't know why, but at the beginning, he was actually a close friend of Master Song, but after getting along with Master Jia at Yushitai, his heart naturally turned to Master Jia.
Qin Zhonglu said sorry guiltily in his heart, which was regarded as an apology to Song Xichao.Then continue to be happy and happy, looking forward to the day when Jia She invites me to the Song Mansion for dinner.
……
The emperor had just read Liang Leyun's memorial and was in a complicated mood.
The book said that Jia Amnesty deliberately delayed and concealed the truth of the Yuzhou disaster relief corruption case, and wantonly accepted bribes from Zuo Zhiqiu and Jia Yucun.For example, some solitary copies of miscellaneous notes, and let his son accept bribes from the two of them in disguise by selling jade.
The emperor has always been very optimistic about Jia She, he handles things properly, objectively and fairly, and after more than half a year of observation, the emperor is more and more appreciative of Jia She, intending to rely on him as a confidant.If Jia Amnesty really did as said in the memorial, becoming a high-ranking official changed his mind and began to indulge in corruption, that would really disappoint him.
This is the note from Yushitai. The emperor believed that Jia She, as the Yushi doctor, would soon know that he was embezzled by his subordinates.
The emperor was not in a hurry to summon Jia Amnesty.He wanted to wait for Jia Amnesty to take the initiative to explain, but to see how he could explain his innocence with eloquence.
Then the emperor waited for a day, but Jia Amnesty did not come.
The emperor was a little impatient, and sent Dai Quan to inquire if it was because Jia She was ignorant and didn't know about his participation in the book.
After a while, Dai Quan informed the emperor of the news, "It is said that since this morning, Lord Qin has mentioned it. However, he has not made a statement, and he is still working and resting as usual, handling the official affairs of Yushitai, and accompanying Prime Minister Wu to deal with state affairs. "
The emperor laughed and sighed helplessly: "He can hold it!"
Then I thought about it, why did Jia Amnesty do things so calmly and calmly, without panicking at all?Maybe he really didn't do anything wrong, so he wasn't afraid of false accusations.
The emperor immediately sent someone to investigate the matter in detail, whether Jia Amnesty had accepted the priceless copy, and whether his son had accepted bribes in disguise for his father.
Because it was all a matter in the capital, and the secret guards around the emperor were not vegetarians, they soon found out what happened at noon the next day and reported it to the emperor.
As soon as the emperor heard about the so-called orphan copy given to Jia Sheil, it was returned long ago, and Zuo Zhiqiu followed Jia She's suggestion to print and share the orphan copy for the world to see.This Jia Amnesty is obviously teaching people to learn how to be good, and to do good deeds for the welfare of scholars all over the world. What is corruption!As for Jia Amnesty's son's jade business, they didn't sell inferior goods at high prices. The real jade was worth that much money in the market, and the buying and selling were voluntary, and it couldn't be considered corruption.At best, it can only be said that favors take care of business, which is a little subtle.
The emperor felt that the latter's behavior might not be good, but it was not a serious problem.Compared with other ministers in the DPRK, Jia She is already very contented to be able to do this.
And in the afternoon, the emperor got a new piece of news, which was obtained from inside the Rong Mansion.Jia Lian's son actually kept a special account book, and donated all the money he earned from selling to Zuo Zhiqiu and others to the temple to support the construction of porridge sheds to help the poor and beggars.
The emperor calmed down completely, and at the same time praised Jia Shede for his noble conduct and ability to discipline his heirs.At the same time, he felt more and more that Liang Leyun was sloppy and messed up too much, which almost caused him to lose a completely trustworthy confidant.
Compared with his superiors, Liang Leyun's ability to act is nothing like cloud and mud.But the emperor didn't doubt this person's character, the emperor knew that Liang Leyun was a good young man with a clear heart, after all, he dared to participate in the performance of his superiors so boldly, which was enough to show his noble character without fear of power.
It's a pity that if you want to be a censor, your qualifications may not be enough.
The emperor then ordered Liang Leyun to be demoted from fourth-rank censor censor to sixth-rank censor, and asked him to follow Jia She to learn the essentials of objectivity and fairness from now on.
Liang Leyun was stunned when he suddenly received an order to demote an official.He had obviously visited the servants in Zuo Zhiqiu's mansion, and confirmed that Jia Amnesty had been bribed by Zuo Zhiqiu.He also visited Jia She's son Jia Lian who sold jade wares, and he was not wrong.Why was he suddenly reprimanded by the emperor?Moreover, the emperor even relegated him to Jia She's handbook. From then on, wouldn't he want to let Jia She toss him around and be rounded and flattened at will?
Liang Leyun was still dissatisfied, and at first he stubbornly refused to pack his things, but later he was told that his participation in Jia's amnesty was all a misunderstanding, and it was completely unfounded.Liang Leyunfang suddenly realized that he was wrong, and hurriedly carried his things to Doctor Yushi to apologize.
"My lord!" Liang Leyun honestly apologized to Jia Amnesty repeatedly, but he never responded.
Jia Amnesty was still buried in writing, without raising his eyelids.
Liang Leyun awkwardly hugged his belongings and stood there, neither leaving nor staying.
The room was eerie and quiet, the cramped Liang Leyun's heart was pounding, and he was sweating profusely.
"Who asked you to join me?"
A deep and magnetic male voice suddenly sounded, the voice was not loud, but it made Liang Leyun tremble in fright, and threw the ink brush and other things in his hand on the ground.
Liang Leyun hurriedly knelt on the ground, packed up his things, and then remembered that he should reply to Jia Amnesty's words.
"It's my fault that my subordinates were obsessed with ghosts for a while, thinking that the content of the letter sent by "Secrets of Neighbors" was true. After a hasty investigation, I really believed it, and wrongly participated in the sir. Damn you, sir, please punish me." Liang Leyun sternly He kowtowed to Jia Amnesty and wept bitterly.
He originally had good intentions, without any malice, but only with the intention of punishing rape and eradicating evil.But unexpectedly, he misunderstood and almost framed Zhongliang.
Hearing this, Jia She raised his head and asked calmly, "Is the letter still there?"
"Yes, my subordinate may have been summoned by the emperor to read it, so I always carry it with me." Liang Leyun glanced at Jia She guiltily, and hurriedly pulled out the letter from his sleeve and handed it to Jia She.
Jia Amnesty looked at the envelope, there was no seal, and when he typed the letter to see the contents, there was no seal except the words.This is not a letter from the neighbor's secret, but judging from the content and signature, it must be that someone pretended to have the neighbor's secret to communicate to Liang Leyun. Liang Leyun did not have the ability to discern, so he believed it.
It seems that some people want to put a label of corruption on themselves through Liang Leyun's participation.
Jia Amnesty left the letter behind and asked Liang Leyun how the letter was received. When he learned that it was a secret letter and there were no clues, he sent Liang Leyun out and told him to do whatever he was supposed to do.
At this time, people from Gyeonggi Province and Guisan's people came at the same time, and returned with Jia Amnesty.
"The little ones followed Cen Laide and found his murder tools and a set of bloody clothes in a dense cave near the stream in the dense forest."
"The subordinates pushed aside the leaves fifteen feet to the west of the crime scene, found traces of Xinfantu, and then dug out the property hidden by the murderer."
