The first paparazzi in the Red Chamber
Chapter 68 Chapter 1 Paparazzi
Then someone came to report that they took advantage of the chaos and sprinkled Hu Huaixiang on the prison car.After Hu Laosan got the hint, he shouted "My heart is to the bright moon" three times.
Mingyue is the name given to her in the boudoir by the prince of Beiyuan after the third princess married to Beiyuan, following the customs of the Great Zhou Dynasty.
The third princess understood that Hu Laosan was showing her loyalty and telling her that he had not betrayed her.
The third princess's heart calmed down a little, at least Hu Laosan didn't reveal more things.But when she thought that Mr. Hu was found out to be from Beiyuan by the Gyeonggi Prefecture, she became agitated again.
Song Xi already knew that she was involved in the Yuzhou disaster relief case, and there were people from Beiyuan in the capital again.
Such a coincidence, with his sensitive temperament, it is impossible not to doubt it.
Adding on the matter of Jia Amnesty, could he already start to loathe her?
The more the three princesses thought about it, the more she felt that her heart felt like being sliced open by a sharp knife, and the pain was dripping with blood, but she still beat wildly for the only remaining hope.
This time, someone came again and listened to Madam Qi.
Nanny Qi nodded and sent the man away.
"Eleventh Prince also got news, I advise you not to move your money for the time being, and wait until the wind blows." Qi Nanny said.
The three princesses were silent.If such a situation were replaced by him, how would he deal with it?He is so smart, there should be many other ways to solve it.But he ran into some problems and hid, could he be looked down upon by him?
Mother Qi saw that the third princess seemed to be struggling and unconvinced, and she was really afraid that the third princess would get dizzy for a while and make an impulsive and irreversible decision.
"Princess, we must be steady at this time. Don't blame the old slave for talking too much. Since you admire that person, why did you allow the Queen Mother to talk about your marriage with Mrs. Jia? This matter of love between a man and a woman is not a joke, let alone What's more, you missed it again and again."
The third princess sneered, and her face became calm when she turned around.She sat down steadily, and elegantly held the teacup and blew on the hot tea.
Seeing the third princess like this, Nanny Qi was more anxious for her.
"The big road doesn't work, take the small road, the right road doesn't work, and the crooked road. People have to learn to be flexible, so that the fittest will survive."
The third princess looked at Nanny Qi, the tea was still a little hot, but she drank it in one gulp without hesitation.
Nanny Qi took a new bowl of tea from the maid and offered it to the third princess.
"Try to find a way to reveal Jiang Hongtre's murder of Wang Ziteng and the former Minister of Dali Temple. If this palace has never done something, it has never been done. No one is allowed to be wronged."
The third princess casually pushed away the teacup that had just been replaced on the table, and with the sound of broken porcelain, the corners of her eyes were icy cold.
……
Before dusk, Chengnan Miwenxuan received a very specific letter of revelation.The letter clarified in detail that Jiang Hongtre was the real culprit behind the murder of Prince Teng Dali Siqing.Jiang Honggui has served as the Taibao for many years, and has served as the chief examiner of the imperial examination for many times. It can be said that there are many peaches and plums in the world, and nearly hundreds of officials in the court are his disciples.Therefore, it is easy for him to use some human relations to silence these two people in prison.
Jia Amnesty read the secret letter that broke the news, and asked Gui San to be responsible for verifying the truth.What is said in the letter is very reasonable, Jiang Hong Torreya, in order to protect the late festival, it is also reasonable to kill people at a moment's heart.
At the same time, Jia Amnesty is also very clear that the third princess who used the whole thing to make a fuss is not a good bird.She thought that if she found someone to break the news for "Secrets Next Door" and point all the evidence to Jiang Hongtre, she would be able to get rid of the suspicion in Song Xi's eyes?It's ridiculous, even if Song Xi is really stupid, he won't let Song Xi think she is innocent after believing this.
Since the third princess has long treated him as a rival in love, then Jia Amnesty will not accept it and let her be a monster.
In the evening, Jia Amnesty waited for Song Xi at the neighbor's house, and told him about the breaking news letter; and when the third princess talked to him in the palace, she was very afraid that Song Xi would misunderstand that she was involved in disaster relief and corruption. case.
"In short, the third princess used the murder of Jiang Hong torre as a threat, and forced Jiang Hong to recommend Zuo Zhiqiu and Jia Yucun before his death, thereby dragging the third prince into the water. You said before that the eleventh prince asked Jiang Hong torre to die, so it is very likely It's her two collaborating. Once the matter has something to do with the prince, you should understand what will happen in the end. "
Song Xi stared at Jia She with a smile, and nodded obediently, indicating that he knew everything and understood what Jia She meant.
Jia She was startled, and suddenly felt that he was talking too much nonsense, and Song Xi obviously understood this long ago.Sure enough, he was so dizzy, he was almost out of his mind.Jia Amnesty turned his head to serve a bowl of tea, took a couple of sips, and regained his sanity.
"You asked me to take Hu Laosan out for a walk, and she immediately moved, and she couldn't help it." Song Xi watched Jia She drink the second bowl of tea, and asked him suspiciously, "Are you very thirsty?" ?”
"Mm," Jia Amnesty replied vaguely.
"With the news about you, it's not difficult to deal with her." Song Xi sighed casually.
Jia Amnesty turned to stare at Song Xi: "What are you waiting for?"
Song Xi froze for a moment, and the smile on the corner of his mouth deepened, "What do you mean, I can intervene?"
"Who does the third princess like? So who is causing trouble? This is your business, and you should intervene. It's time for you to take responsibility, why should I meddle in my own business?"
Jia She innocently shrugged and spread his hands.He is only interested in news that reflects people's livelihood, human nature, etc., and things like imperial power struggles are really out of his scope.And if this matter is not resolved as soon as possible, he will really become a son-in-law.
Song Xi felt that Jia She's way of shirking things was very cute, but he couldn't say the word cute, because he was afraid that Jia She would care about him and treat him coldly in "revenge", so he just admired and thought about it silently in his heart.Song Xi took the opportunity to hold Jia She's hand, asking him to encourage him, so that he would be motivated to work.
Jia Amnesty was not as good as he wished, "If you don't want to interfere, just watch me marry the third princess. In fact, think about it, it might not be a good thing for multiple princess wives to make decorations."
As Jia She said, holding his chin, he raised his eyebrows and smiled, as if he was looking forward to the life after his marriage with the third princess.
Song Xi gave Jia She a cold look, got up and left.
Jia Amnesty: "Where are you going?"
"Come back when you're done."
Song Xi was so anxious that he didn't even turn his head, and his figure disappeared after speaking.
I can't help but amuse.
Looking at the direction where Song Xi disappeared, Jia She felt very funny.Some people are just assholes. If you can't discuss it well, you need some stimulation.
Fang Zhenglu then knocked on the door, followed by Liu Xianglian.
Fang Zhenglu gave the manuscript he had written to Jia She, and asked him to read it.
Jia Amnesty roughly glanced at it, and it was basically in line with his request, then turned to look at the manuscript that Liu Xianglian tried to write.
During these days, Liu Xianglian has been following Fang Zhenglu to learn how to write manuscripts, and now she has mastered the essentials.So this time, when writing the manuscript, Fang Zhenglu asked Liu Xianglian to try to write with him, each writing their own, and then asked Jia She to judge.
Liu Xianglian kept staring nervously at Jia She's mouth, waiting for his comment.
Jia She also took a few glances, and took a cinnabar pen to circle some words such as "heinous" and "demented".
"These are all your subjective and conjectural evaluations, don't substitute them in the article description."
Liu Xianglian hurriedly argued: "But Cen Laide's actions are outrageous and obvious to all. He—"
"Whether his actions are good or bad, you have written the facts clearly, and the world has its own judgment. Regardless of whether your judgment is right or wrong, don't instill your own ideas in the article, and try not to use this kind of expression in the future Emotional words." Jia She said to him in a stern tone.
Liu Xianglian lowered her eyebrows and nodded, but her expression was still a little puzzled and unconvinced.
Jia She narrowed his eyes: "Don't develop the habit of judging others with your own opinions. People are not sages, and they will inevitably make mistakes. The purpose of doing this is to prevent the author from making emotional misjudgments, and to ensure the accuracy of the news. Fair and objective. No matter how heinous Cen Laide is, you don’t need to say it out of your mouth, you just need to explain the facts, explain the circumstances of the case, and what the murderer really did.”
Liu Xianglian suddenly shuddered and came to her senses.He used to love to watch "Secrets of the Neighbor", isn't it for this reason?His original intention of following Fangzheng Road to do journalism was also adhering to the principle of fairness and justice.Now, because he was too angry at what Cen Laide did, he didn't abide by the rules of journalism, so he should be scolded and taught a lesson.
Liu Xianglian slapped herself, and hurriedly apologized to Jia Amnesty, saying that she would definitely remember it and pay more attention in the future.
Jia She's complexion turned peaceful, he smiled slightly, then pointed out that most of the paragraphs in the article were written very well, and told Liu Xianglian that he only needed to correct the biggest problem.
Liu Xianglian agreed with a smile, quickly expressed her attitude, and then went down with her article to revise it again.
Fang Zhenglu looked at the article he had written and asked Jia Amnesty what he meant.
"Just print it directly, thank you for your hard work." Jia She said.
Fang Zhenglu hurriedly said that he didn't dare, his life was saved by Master She, so this little work is nothing, he should be the one to be grateful.
When Jia Amnesty left the Neighborhood Hall, it was already dark, and there were still many candidates who were studying at night by candlelight in the lobby of the Neighborhood Hall.This spring's imperial examination is coming to an end, and the final step is the crucial imperial examination.So at the moment, these candidates are all working hard, ready to show off their literary talents when they face the saint.Almost all of them hoped that they could be as outstanding as Song Xi in the past, overwhelming everyone.
Because Song Xi was the chief examiner, the candidates all came to celebrate when they heard that Mr. Song often visited the neighbor's restaurant.It's like studying here, all of them can win the first prize and rank first.
When Jia Amnesty's carriage passed by the neighbor's house, he saw the bright lights in the room, and the examinees buried their heads in their studies. Jia Amnesty was also infected by this academic atmosphere.Thinking of the recent cases and harassment due to the matter of the third princess, he hadn't read a book for a while.
Jia Amnesty went back to the Rong Mansion, and after eating, he wanted to take a good rest and read a book, but he did not escape Jia's mother's call.He ran to comfort Jia Mu again, and met Jia Lian again when he came back.
Jia Lian will be officially on duty at the Ministry of Internal Affairs tomorrow, so he is here to listen to his teachings.
"There's no need to say too much, it's good for you to listen to it, and it's useless to say it many times if you don't listen to it. Go back and rest early to recharge your energy."
Jia Amnesty sent Jia Lian away after a few instructions, and then he had to lie on the couch and read books leisurely.Tired from watching, he closed his eyes and fell asleep, but slept soundly until dawn.
When I got up and changed my clothes in the morning, there was someone sent by Fang Zhenglu to deliver the letter.
"I received it at Miwenxuan last night. After reading it all night, the shopkeeper felt that this matter should not be delayed, so he sent it over." Zhu Mao explained while delivering the letter to Jia She.
The envelope was empty with nothing written on it.This is usually the case with report letters, and Jia Amnesty didn't think much of it. He took out the letter paper, threw it away with one hand, glanced at the content lazily, and then held it with both hands to read it carefully.
Seeing the change in the master's expression, Zhu Mao hurriedly asked if it was a big deal.
Jia Amnesty sneered, "This Jia Yucun is boring."
Zuo Zhiqiu was the only person implicated in the Yuzhou disaster relief and embezzlement case.Because Jia Yucun didn't participate in the events of the year, he was just dismissed from his official position, restored to his previous status, and became a commoner.
During these days, Jia She has no time to care about a degraded little man like him.Unexpectedly, Jia Yucun was restless and insisted on raising his own sense of existence, and even reported him for corruption in the Secret Wenxuan.As for the content, it is probably similar to the situation when Liang Leyun participated in him at the beginning, it was nothing more than saying that he deceived people, took the opportunity to use the public for personal gain, and was hypocritical.
Although the handwriting on the letter is ugly, it doesn't look like it was written by Jia Yucun at first glance, but based on some customary words in the letter and the angle of describing the problem, Jia Amnesty can immediately judge that the source is from Jia Yucun.
Jia Yucun's handwriting was originally very beautiful, but he thought that the handwriting on this letter was written with his left hand in order to hide his identity.
Zhu Mao: "Master, do you want me to send someone to clean him up?"
"Sit upright and do what he does. If you really lead someone to teach him a lesson, you will have a real reason."
Jia Amnesty was not in the mood to pay attention to how a grasshopper hopped around after autumn, so he threw the letter to Zhu Mao, and then strode out to the court.
After the Great Dynasty, the emperor deliberately left Jia Amnesty.However, Prime Minister Wu and several academicians wanted to continue discussing state affairs with the emperor.Jia Amnesty listened and waited.
The emperor was also anxious, and hastily dismissed these important officials of the country, so he summoned Si Tianjian and asked Jia Amnesty about his horoscope.
After Jia amnesty reported, he followed the high-spirited emperor to the imperial garden.By the way, Jia Amnesty told him that he had received an informant letter from Jiang Hongtre about murdering Wang Ziteng and the former minister of Dali Temple.
"Oh, who provided this information? So specific?" The emperor asked with interest.
Jia She shook his head, "In order to get more information, Miwenxuan only accepts anonymous reports, and will not pursue the identity of the reporter."
"There are pros and cons, but if it weren't for that, I'm afraid that person wouldn't have informed about it," the emperor nodded, agreeing with this anonymous way of reporting the news, "Then, have you verified the Jiang Hong torreya?"
"Confirmation is in progress, but the result should not be bad. I have also listed the names of the people in the Gyeonggi Prefecture and the Ministry of Criminal Affairs who have a relationship with Jiang Hong Torreya, and will investigate them one by one to determine the accomplices."
"Okay," the emperor approvingly glanced at Jia She, "wait for the results to be reported. I won't talk about business today. I'll talk about other things. I'll be happy."
Jia Amnesty nodded slightly.
The emperor stopped and asked him with a smile: "Tell me the truth, what do you think about the third princess? Do you like it or not?"
Jia Amnesty immediately replied, "It's hard to say."
The emperor didn't expect Jia Amnesty to reject him straight away, and immediately frowned in displeasure.Fortunately, he heard that Jia She's refusal was not thorough, the emperor was not immediately angry, and asked what Jia She meant.
"I don't want to deceive the emperor to hide it. I only have one relationship with the three princesses. If I really say that because of this one meeting, my love will be deeply rooted. I really can't tell such a lie." Jia She paused for a moment, then continued. Said, "The subject's liking will never be a superficial liking. Once you are happy, it will become newer with time."
The emperor was stunned for a moment, then his expression turned from anger to joy, and he burst out laughing, patting Jia She on the shoulder while sighing.
"In that case, I will ask you to get along with the third princess more."
Jia Amnesty nodded slightly at the emperor, even if it was a perfunctory response.
The emperor took Jia She for a walk around the Imperial Garden, and introduced him to some unique places with great interest. He told Jia She to come here often after marrying a princess. It would be good to get familiar with the road .
After all, the emperor was busy with state affairs, so Jia Amnesty was dismissed not long after.
After leaving Miyagi, Jia Amnesty frowned, showing disgust.
The emperor just said that if he asked him what he meant, but in fact he refused a little, and the emperor became very angry. It can be seen that he has already confirmed this marriage in his heart, and he can't let him say no to marrying a royal daughter.This is the feudal emperor, no matter how enlightened he is, there are times when he is unreasonable.
Jia Amnesty was unhappy, but the emperor was happy.After he finished handling the state affairs, he went to see the queen, and also learned what Jia She said to him to the queen.
"Look at the person I like, how down-to-earth and down-to-earth. At that time, if another woman listened to Jia Aiqing, she would definitely be tempted."
"It's very good." The queen smiled, but she was also happy for Song Xi.
Ever since the queen noticed that Song Xi and Jia She were together, she was worried about Song Xi. After all, Jia She had a bad reputation in the past.Now, based on the news she had inquired in the past year, as well as the compliments she heard from the emperor, she gradually felt that Jia She and her younger brother matched each other very well.
They have similar temperaments, but Jia She is more flesh and blood, so that her younger brother finally lives more like a human being, with seven emotions and six desires.
If there is really one person in this world who can warm up Song Xi, Jia Amnesty is the only one.
Seeing the emperor's enthusiasm for the marriage between the third princess and Jia Amnesty, the queen regretted her selfishness back then.In order to win more contacts for the fifteenth prince, she indulged the third princess' affection for Song Xi.Now that I think about it, she was too greedy, and it's not because Song Xi warned herself that day.
The queen thought that she hadn't seen Song Xi since that day, so she asked the emperor for instructions and sent the fifteen princes out of the palace to see Song Xi on her behalf.
"You just want to see him and call him into the palace. I said it earlier. I don't mind your siblings meeting each other. Why are you so taboo?"
The emperor thought that the empress was out of consideration for the rule that "concubines are not allowed to associate with foreign ministers", and felt sorry for the empress' empathy. He hugged her and refused to let go, kissing her lips lightly.Then he whispered softly in her ear, and discussed with her to have another prince come out.
After the third prince disappointed the emperor, the emperor cherished the memory of his prince and lamented that there were too few royal heirs.
The queen refused, and cleverly persuaded the emperor to rest with other concubines.
Gong Nai was puzzled: "Why did the empress give up the emperor to other concubines?"
"I'm getting old." The queen sighed with a wry smile, she didn't want to risk her life for having another child.If she left early, the fifteen princes would have no one to rely on, and sooner or later she would follow in the prince's footsteps.
Gong Nai rolled her eyes, and immediately understood the meaning of her mother's words, and couldn't help crying for the queen in her heart.Everyone in the world says that the queen is beautiful and her mother is all over the world, but who knows the sadness behind this glory.
That night, Miwenxuan received another report letter from Jia Yucun.
Another night, still the same.
Then it continued for three consecutive days, and it was still one letter every night.
The content is basically the same, but the tone of the complaint is getting more and more angry.
Jia She still just laughed it off and ignored it.
It's the middle of the month again soon, and the No. 12 issue of "Secrets Next Door" will be released.
It was warm in April, and before dawn on the [-]th day, there was a long queue at the gate of the bookstore.
Although the door didn't open, a young servant from all over the world came out with a box of things, and took the opportunity to sell them to everyone.
"New style pen, take a look, take a look, draw as you go, without the hassle of ink staining." The boy shouted, while sharpening his pencil, he drew a pig on the rice paper for everyone to see.
Some literati thought it was good, and asked the price, and it was not expensive at all, so they bought it immediately.Others also shouted for the boy, and they wanted it too.After a while, a box of [-] pencils was sold out.The boy was still busy, showing them how to sharpen a pencil.
This pencil is cheap and affordable, thanks to Song Xi's contribution.
Song Xi saw that the pen Jia She used was good that day, so he casually told the people around him to ask for a bundle.Hengshu didn't know how thick the bundle their master said was, so he just wanted as much as possible.When the storekeepers of several shops under Song Xi's name heard that it was the master's order, they studied it with all their might based on Mo Yunxuan's finished product.
The Song family has a lot of industries, and there are many mountains and mountains. There are graphite mines in several mountains.The steward who is responsible for the management of the mountain industry provided the cheap graphite ore produced by himself. After the graphite was ground into powder, it was mixed with clay and poured into wooden tubes by craftsmen to make pencils in batches.
Later, I calculated that the cost of this thing is not high, one penny for each.The shopkeeper planned to promote this product, so he informed Hengshu, and Hengshu asked Song Xi again.Song Xi only left this matter to Jia She, and now his is Jia She's.
So there are now cheap pencils, which are popular in the market.
Fang Zhenglu saw that the sales volume was good, so he sent someone to inform Heng Shu that they could produce more in the future.Although pencils are cheap, they consume a lot of money. If they sell well in the future, they might make more money than "Secrets Next Door".
Maozheng, all rivers and rivers are open.
When everyone saw the new issue of "Secrets of the Neighbor" placed high on the counter, they all became excited and rushed forward.Although the all-inclusive servants have been supervising everyone queuing up, they still wish to throw the person in front of them down and fly forward.
The release was quick, and within half an hour, the team basically disappeared.Instead, the literati who got the book gathered upstairs and downstairs, commenting on the content of the new issue of the book with interest as usual.
"One person killed 17 people, not as many as Wang Ziteng, but it was also very cruel."
"But this Cen Laide's life experience is also pitiful. If his own father was not like a beast, he would not be like this."
"But concubines are good at buying and selling, this is a truth that can be said anywhere."
"That's right, the child in the womb of a lowly woman is not very useful when it is born."
"You're wrong. Tiger poison doesn't eat children. Women with low status are also women. If you don't want children, don't do such a thing as having a baby!"
"What's the big deal for a man to sleep with a diva? Ask these people present, how many of them haven't slept?" the former retorted in disbelief.
"Sleep as soon as I sleep, but there are a few of them like Ding An who throw their own flesh and blood out at will! Are you, I will beat you if you are!" The latter was so angry that his face was red, and he was about to punch .
Neither of them was convinced. After fighting with each other, they attacked each other personally, and they really fought by the neck.
Everyone watched the excitement, and some persuaded the fight, but the more people there were, the more quarreled they became.Naturally, they were divided into two groups, each insisted on their own opinions, and there was a lot of quarrel.
Seeing this, Aoyama, the name shopkeeper who is inclusive of all rivers and rivers, knocked on the gong and warned everyone: "Read quietly and discuss peacefully! Everyone is a gentleman, and you must not do anything that insults the gentleman. No one is allowed to bicker and fight here, otherwise Don’t blame me for being rude, please go out and talk. If you are not satisfied and cause serious troubles, we will write their names on the blacklist as appropriate for people to watch.”
After Qingshan finished speaking, he asked the boy to show the board he had prepared earlier, on which was pasted a piece of snow-white rice paper, with the word "Blacklist" written in block letters on the top center of the paper.
Everyone was honest when they saw this.
The two people who were fighting each other were also pulled away, but it was the one who spoke out of line and thought it didn't matter whether the diva's child died or not, and was rejected by most of them with strange eyes.In the end, the man had no face to stay any longer, he stiffened for a while, and then pretended to leave.
This spring candidate Song Yi was also among them. He was the one who boasted that he and Song Xi were of the same clan. Later, he had the courage to ask Song Xi a question and got a response, so he became famous among literati.
Everyone joked about him, should they also ask Song Xi about this matter this time.Song Yi just smiled and said nothing.
Everyone booed even more, asking him to guess at any rate, how Master Song would evaluate this matter.
"Sir Song's thoughts are something that people like me can't figure out. Don't make fooling around. You will have the palace exam soon, and you are still here to join in the fun. I have to go to the next door to study, and ignore you." Song Yi He's not a fool, every time these people push him to talk about Song Xi, he is afraid that if he talks too much, he will really provoke some talk and offend Mr. Song.
But everyone couldn't help Song Yi to hide, let him guess, just talk casually, it won't do anything.
Song Yi thought about it carefully, and then said: "Xu Hui said, 'It's not benevolent to be born but not raised'?"
Everyone was stunned when they heard it, and praised the words one after another.
"Master Song said earlier that 'regardless of high or low, the innocent should not be brought to death', he certainly would not have praised Ding An for abandoning his pregnant concubine."
"That's natural. You may not know that I have a relative who works in the Song Mansion. I heard that Mr. Song's son is a concubine born to a maid. He was taken over by his elder brother when he looked down upon him like nothing. I have always attached great importance to him as my own son."
When all the candidates heard this, they all felt that it was reasonable, and they all echoed Song Yi's words.The reason is simple, Chunwei's examiner is Song Xi, and the examiner's thoughts are their thoughts.
It is rare for the literati in the sea to be persuaded by a single sentence to agree with each other this time.
As soon as the room was quiet, a troublemaker came, arguing to see the shopkeeper to discuss important matters.
Qingshan took this person into the private room.
"Let me ask you, is this the bookstore opened by the author of "Secrets Next Door"?"
Aoyama nodded.
"Then, can the matter I want to report reach the ears of the author?"
"Of course." Qing Shan smiled.
"What about the Mystery Hall? It's just a decoration? I wrote several times, and this new issue of "My Neighbor's Secret" is out, and there is nothing about my report!"
Qing Shan looked at this man, he looked like a literati, very sour and arrogant, his face was full of anger, it seemed that he had accumulated a lot of dissatisfaction and wanted to find fault.Qingshan felt that this person could not be dismissed by himself, and he was not clear about the matter of Biwenxuan.So he took this person to the side room in the backyard to meet Fang Zhenglu, and asked Fang Zhenglu to deal with it.
When Fang Zhenglu heard that this person was the one who wrote consecutive letters to report that they had pardoned the Grand Master, he looked at him in surprise and asked him his name.
"Jia," Jia Yucun looked at Fang Zhenglu dissatisfiedly, "I want to see the writer and clarify this matter in person. Don't you have anonymous testimonies in your books? I am an important witness. Back then When Zuo Zhiqiu bribed Jia Amnesty, I was there and can testify."
Fang Zhenglu was stunned, and nodded with a smile, "We have received your letter, and further investigation is needed. If it is true, the author will publish it on "Secrets of Neighbors" as appropriate."
"Discretionary? That is to say, it is possible not to publish it?" Jia Yucun grasped the loopholes in Fang Zhenglu's words, then rolled his eyes shrewdly, and sighed with a sneer, "I thought that the book writer was a person who did not distinguish between high and low, and was full of righteousness and righteousness." People. Could it be that he is also a person who fears power and is as cowardly as a mouse? Just because the master of the Rong Mansion is a first-rank official, and the evidence is solid, he is timid and afraid to offend?"
Fang Zhenglu looked at Jia Yucun speechlessly, not knowing what to say.If he hadn't had to abide by the rules set by Mr. Xi, he really didn't want to pretend to be gentle at this moment, so he went straight to him and beat him out, the most brutal way to relieve hatred!
"All that needs to be said has been said, please do your own thing." After Fang Zhenglu finished speaking, he got up to leave.
Jia Yucun stared at the back of Fangzheng Road, and suddenly realized, "I remembered, I saw you in the Neighborhood Pavilion! The Neighborhood Pavilion was opened by Jia Enhou, could it be you and him..."
Fang Zhenglu turned his head with a cold face, and explained to Jia Yucun openly: "Where is "Secrets of the Next Door", I will be there, you are overthinking."
Jia Yucun was stunned for a moment, thinking that if this guy was from "Secret Stories Next Door", it would be the same reason.Previously, Neighborhood Xuan sold "Secrets of Neighborhood", and there was no conflict where he appeared.And the shopkeeper of Neighborhood Xuan is Wanfu, not him.
Jia Yucun dispelled his doubts, but Fang Zhenglu's anger remained, and he warned Fang Zhenglu to tell the author what he had said.
"I believe that the author of the book is not a cowardly coward. I hope that in the next book, I can see him expose Jia Amnesty's scandal in a fair and righteous way and let the world see it."
Fangzhenglu watched Jia Yucun leave with cold eyes, felt that it was unreasonable, sneered twice, and sent someone to pass the words to Jia Amnesty.Jia Amnesty immediately sent someone to reply, telling Fang Zhenglu to ignore it.
The content of the No.12 issue of "Secrets of Neighbors" directly poked at the problem of "concubine buying and selling", which sparked many discussions.From the literati circle at the beginning, to the noble women's family circle, to the common people in the market, and finally a few supervisory censors reported this issue to the emperor.
In the court hall, several humerus important officials were arguing about this issue, their faces were red.Some people think that a concubine is lowly, since the business has been approved, there is no need to care whether she is pregnant or not.Some people think that this kind of practice is too cruel and violates the benevolence and righteousness of a gentleman.
It seems that the world has been peaceful recently, except for the spring drought in the Northwest and the need to allocate money to relieve the disaster, there is really nothing else.
The emperor watched these ministers making noise with cold eyes, his ears hurt, and then he turned his eyes and landed on Jia She, a little bit of blame, it was all because of him.Then look at Song Xi, who looked indifferent and turned a deaf ear.Look at Prime Minister Wu again, he is already old, his eyelids are a little drooping, now he is pretending to be like a log, he looks like he is asleep.But yes, this old man is a strict wife, and he doesn't even have a concubine except his wife, so he probably can't understand the meaning of this debate.
The emperor moved his buttocks, yelled at these courtiers who owed their mouths to shut up, turned to look at Jia She, Song Xi, and Prime Minister Wu, and decided to name one of these three people, and try his best to solve this problem .After the emperor looked around, he still felt that Song Xi was the most out of the way, so he asked him to speak.
"'A husband who is a father must be able to order his son'. Animals know how to raise young, but people are not as good as animals? Is this still arguable? It is directly written into the law. When a concubine is pregnant, it is enough to prohibit trading. .” Song Xiyan said succinctly.
Jia Amnesty: "The minister seconded the proposal."
Prime Minister Wu: "The minister also seconded the proposal."
All the ministers hurriedly seconded the proposal, and none of them dared to second it, fearing that they would become "worse than animals".
Besides, Mr. Song did not prohibit the trading of concubines, but only prohibited the trading of pregnant concubines.It is indeed right for a man to fulfill his obligations to his offspring, and there is really no need to argue after thinking about it.
So what was everyone arguing about just now?
Under the mood of self-doubt and self-examination, the civil and military officials of the Manchu dynasty went to court and separated.
Song Xi took Jia She's hand with a smile, and said to him, "I see."
"What do you know?" Jia Amnesty was suddenly confused by this question.
"You have never had a superficial liking for people, and the more time passes, the newer you will be."
Jia She laughed, it turned out that Song Xi knew what he said to the emperor that day.
"What should I do? We've been like this for a long time. It's the one who is an eyesore. When will you do it?"
Song Xi: "My people have already checked in. The carriage is indeed as you guessed. You just need to find a reason for this matter, go to the princess's mansion and arrest it directly. You can do it whenever you want."
"What are you waiting for, today is the day." Jia Amnesty said bluntly.
Mingyue is the name given to her in the boudoir by the prince of Beiyuan after the third princess married to Beiyuan, following the customs of the Great Zhou Dynasty.
The third princess understood that Hu Laosan was showing her loyalty and telling her that he had not betrayed her.
The third princess's heart calmed down a little, at least Hu Laosan didn't reveal more things.But when she thought that Mr. Hu was found out to be from Beiyuan by the Gyeonggi Prefecture, she became agitated again.
Song Xi already knew that she was involved in the Yuzhou disaster relief case, and there were people from Beiyuan in the capital again.
Such a coincidence, with his sensitive temperament, it is impossible not to doubt it.
Adding on the matter of Jia Amnesty, could he already start to loathe her?
The more the three princesses thought about it, the more she felt that her heart felt like being sliced open by a sharp knife, and the pain was dripping with blood, but she still beat wildly for the only remaining hope.
This time, someone came again and listened to Madam Qi.
Nanny Qi nodded and sent the man away.
"Eleventh Prince also got news, I advise you not to move your money for the time being, and wait until the wind blows." Qi Nanny said.
The three princesses were silent.If such a situation were replaced by him, how would he deal with it?He is so smart, there should be many other ways to solve it.But he ran into some problems and hid, could he be looked down upon by him?
Mother Qi saw that the third princess seemed to be struggling and unconvinced, and she was really afraid that the third princess would get dizzy for a while and make an impulsive and irreversible decision.
"Princess, we must be steady at this time. Don't blame the old slave for talking too much. Since you admire that person, why did you allow the Queen Mother to talk about your marriage with Mrs. Jia? This matter of love between a man and a woman is not a joke, let alone What's more, you missed it again and again."
The third princess sneered, and her face became calm when she turned around.She sat down steadily, and elegantly held the teacup and blew on the hot tea.
Seeing the third princess like this, Nanny Qi was more anxious for her.
"The big road doesn't work, take the small road, the right road doesn't work, and the crooked road. People have to learn to be flexible, so that the fittest will survive."
The third princess looked at Nanny Qi, the tea was still a little hot, but she drank it in one gulp without hesitation.
Nanny Qi took a new bowl of tea from the maid and offered it to the third princess.
"Try to find a way to reveal Jiang Hongtre's murder of Wang Ziteng and the former Minister of Dali Temple. If this palace has never done something, it has never been done. No one is allowed to be wronged."
The third princess casually pushed away the teacup that had just been replaced on the table, and with the sound of broken porcelain, the corners of her eyes were icy cold.
……
Before dusk, Chengnan Miwenxuan received a very specific letter of revelation.The letter clarified in detail that Jiang Hongtre was the real culprit behind the murder of Prince Teng Dali Siqing.Jiang Honggui has served as the Taibao for many years, and has served as the chief examiner of the imperial examination for many times. It can be said that there are many peaches and plums in the world, and nearly hundreds of officials in the court are his disciples.Therefore, it is easy for him to use some human relations to silence these two people in prison.
Jia Amnesty read the secret letter that broke the news, and asked Gui San to be responsible for verifying the truth.What is said in the letter is very reasonable, Jiang Hong Torreya, in order to protect the late festival, it is also reasonable to kill people at a moment's heart.
At the same time, Jia Amnesty is also very clear that the third princess who used the whole thing to make a fuss is not a good bird.She thought that if she found someone to break the news for "Secrets Next Door" and point all the evidence to Jiang Hongtre, she would be able to get rid of the suspicion in Song Xi's eyes?It's ridiculous, even if Song Xi is really stupid, he won't let Song Xi think she is innocent after believing this.
Since the third princess has long treated him as a rival in love, then Jia Amnesty will not accept it and let her be a monster.
In the evening, Jia Amnesty waited for Song Xi at the neighbor's house, and told him about the breaking news letter; and when the third princess talked to him in the palace, she was very afraid that Song Xi would misunderstand that she was involved in disaster relief and corruption. case.
"In short, the third princess used the murder of Jiang Hong torre as a threat, and forced Jiang Hong to recommend Zuo Zhiqiu and Jia Yucun before his death, thereby dragging the third prince into the water. You said before that the eleventh prince asked Jiang Hong torre to die, so it is very likely It's her two collaborating. Once the matter has something to do with the prince, you should understand what will happen in the end. "
Song Xi stared at Jia She with a smile, and nodded obediently, indicating that he knew everything and understood what Jia She meant.
Jia She was startled, and suddenly felt that he was talking too much nonsense, and Song Xi obviously understood this long ago.Sure enough, he was so dizzy, he was almost out of his mind.Jia Amnesty turned his head to serve a bowl of tea, took a couple of sips, and regained his sanity.
"You asked me to take Hu Laosan out for a walk, and she immediately moved, and she couldn't help it." Song Xi watched Jia She drink the second bowl of tea, and asked him suspiciously, "Are you very thirsty?" ?”
"Mm," Jia Amnesty replied vaguely.
"With the news about you, it's not difficult to deal with her." Song Xi sighed casually.
Jia Amnesty turned to stare at Song Xi: "What are you waiting for?"
Song Xi froze for a moment, and the smile on the corner of his mouth deepened, "What do you mean, I can intervene?"
"Who does the third princess like? So who is causing trouble? This is your business, and you should intervene. It's time for you to take responsibility, why should I meddle in my own business?"
Jia She innocently shrugged and spread his hands.He is only interested in news that reflects people's livelihood, human nature, etc., and things like imperial power struggles are really out of his scope.And if this matter is not resolved as soon as possible, he will really become a son-in-law.
Song Xi felt that Jia She's way of shirking things was very cute, but he couldn't say the word cute, because he was afraid that Jia She would care about him and treat him coldly in "revenge", so he just admired and thought about it silently in his heart.Song Xi took the opportunity to hold Jia She's hand, asking him to encourage him, so that he would be motivated to work.
Jia Amnesty was not as good as he wished, "If you don't want to interfere, just watch me marry the third princess. In fact, think about it, it might not be a good thing for multiple princess wives to make decorations."
As Jia She said, holding his chin, he raised his eyebrows and smiled, as if he was looking forward to the life after his marriage with the third princess.
Song Xi gave Jia She a cold look, got up and left.
Jia Amnesty: "Where are you going?"
"Come back when you're done."
Song Xi was so anxious that he didn't even turn his head, and his figure disappeared after speaking.
I can't help but amuse.
Looking at the direction where Song Xi disappeared, Jia She felt very funny.Some people are just assholes. If you can't discuss it well, you need some stimulation.
Fang Zhenglu then knocked on the door, followed by Liu Xianglian.
Fang Zhenglu gave the manuscript he had written to Jia She, and asked him to read it.
Jia Amnesty roughly glanced at it, and it was basically in line with his request, then turned to look at the manuscript that Liu Xianglian tried to write.
During these days, Liu Xianglian has been following Fang Zhenglu to learn how to write manuscripts, and now she has mastered the essentials.So this time, when writing the manuscript, Fang Zhenglu asked Liu Xianglian to try to write with him, each writing their own, and then asked Jia She to judge.
Liu Xianglian kept staring nervously at Jia She's mouth, waiting for his comment.
Jia She also took a few glances, and took a cinnabar pen to circle some words such as "heinous" and "demented".
"These are all your subjective and conjectural evaluations, don't substitute them in the article description."
Liu Xianglian hurriedly argued: "But Cen Laide's actions are outrageous and obvious to all. He—"
"Whether his actions are good or bad, you have written the facts clearly, and the world has its own judgment. Regardless of whether your judgment is right or wrong, don't instill your own ideas in the article, and try not to use this kind of expression in the future Emotional words." Jia She said to him in a stern tone.
Liu Xianglian lowered her eyebrows and nodded, but her expression was still a little puzzled and unconvinced.
Jia She narrowed his eyes: "Don't develop the habit of judging others with your own opinions. People are not sages, and they will inevitably make mistakes. The purpose of doing this is to prevent the author from making emotional misjudgments, and to ensure the accuracy of the news. Fair and objective. No matter how heinous Cen Laide is, you don’t need to say it out of your mouth, you just need to explain the facts, explain the circumstances of the case, and what the murderer really did.”
Liu Xianglian suddenly shuddered and came to her senses.He used to love to watch "Secrets of the Neighbor", isn't it for this reason?His original intention of following Fangzheng Road to do journalism was also adhering to the principle of fairness and justice.Now, because he was too angry at what Cen Laide did, he didn't abide by the rules of journalism, so he should be scolded and taught a lesson.
Liu Xianglian slapped herself, and hurriedly apologized to Jia Amnesty, saying that she would definitely remember it and pay more attention in the future.
Jia She's complexion turned peaceful, he smiled slightly, then pointed out that most of the paragraphs in the article were written very well, and told Liu Xianglian that he only needed to correct the biggest problem.
Liu Xianglian agreed with a smile, quickly expressed her attitude, and then went down with her article to revise it again.
Fang Zhenglu looked at the article he had written and asked Jia Amnesty what he meant.
"Just print it directly, thank you for your hard work." Jia She said.
Fang Zhenglu hurriedly said that he didn't dare, his life was saved by Master She, so this little work is nothing, he should be the one to be grateful.
When Jia Amnesty left the Neighborhood Hall, it was already dark, and there were still many candidates who were studying at night by candlelight in the lobby of the Neighborhood Hall.This spring's imperial examination is coming to an end, and the final step is the crucial imperial examination.So at the moment, these candidates are all working hard, ready to show off their literary talents when they face the saint.Almost all of them hoped that they could be as outstanding as Song Xi in the past, overwhelming everyone.
Because Song Xi was the chief examiner, the candidates all came to celebrate when they heard that Mr. Song often visited the neighbor's restaurant.It's like studying here, all of them can win the first prize and rank first.
When Jia Amnesty's carriage passed by the neighbor's house, he saw the bright lights in the room, and the examinees buried their heads in their studies. Jia Amnesty was also infected by this academic atmosphere.Thinking of the recent cases and harassment due to the matter of the third princess, he hadn't read a book for a while.
Jia Amnesty went back to the Rong Mansion, and after eating, he wanted to take a good rest and read a book, but he did not escape Jia's mother's call.He ran to comfort Jia Mu again, and met Jia Lian again when he came back.
Jia Lian will be officially on duty at the Ministry of Internal Affairs tomorrow, so he is here to listen to his teachings.
"There's no need to say too much, it's good for you to listen to it, and it's useless to say it many times if you don't listen to it. Go back and rest early to recharge your energy."
Jia Amnesty sent Jia Lian away after a few instructions, and then he had to lie on the couch and read books leisurely.Tired from watching, he closed his eyes and fell asleep, but slept soundly until dawn.
When I got up and changed my clothes in the morning, there was someone sent by Fang Zhenglu to deliver the letter.
"I received it at Miwenxuan last night. After reading it all night, the shopkeeper felt that this matter should not be delayed, so he sent it over." Zhu Mao explained while delivering the letter to Jia She.
The envelope was empty with nothing written on it.This is usually the case with report letters, and Jia Amnesty didn't think much of it. He took out the letter paper, threw it away with one hand, glanced at the content lazily, and then held it with both hands to read it carefully.
Seeing the change in the master's expression, Zhu Mao hurriedly asked if it was a big deal.
Jia Amnesty sneered, "This Jia Yucun is boring."
Zuo Zhiqiu was the only person implicated in the Yuzhou disaster relief and embezzlement case.Because Jia Yucun didn't participate in the events of the year, he was just dismissed from his official position, restored to his previous status, and became a commoner.
During these days, Jia She has no time to care about a degraded little man like him.Unexpectedly, Jia Yucun was restless and insisted on raising his own sense of existence, and even reported him for corruption in the Secret Wenxuan.As for the content, it is probably similar to the situation when Liang Leyun participated in him at the beginning, it was nothing more than saying that he deceived people, took the opportunity to use the public for personal gain, and was hypocritical.
Although the handwriting on the letter is ugly, it doesn't look like it was written by Jia Yucun at first glance, but based on some customary words in the letter and the angle of describing the problem, Jia Amnesty can immediately judge that the source is from Jia Yucun.
Jia Yucun's handwriting was originally very beautiful, but he thought that the handwriting on this letter was written with his left hand in order to hide his identity.
Zhu Mao: "Master, do you want me to send someone to clean him up?"
"Sit upright and do what he does. If you really lead someone to teach him a lesson, you will have a real reason."
Jia Amnesty was not in the mood to pay attention to how a grasshopper hopped around after autumn, so he threw the letter to Zhu Mao, and then strode out to the court.
After the Great Dynasty, the emperor deliberately left Jia Amnesty.However, Prime Minister Wu and several academicians wanted to continue discussing state affairs with the emperor.Jia Amnesty listened and waited.
The emperor was also anxious, and hastily dismissed these important officials of the country, so he summoned Si Tianjian and asked Jia Amnesty about his horoscope.
After Jia amnesty reported, he followed the high-spirited emperor to the imperial garden.By the way, Jia Amnesty told him that he had received an informant letter from Jiang Hongtre about murdering Wang Ziteng and the former minister of Dali Temple.
"Oh, who provided this information? So specific?" The emperor asked with interest.
Jia She shook his head, "In order to get more information, Miwenxuan only accepts anonymous reports, and will not pursue the identity of the reporter."
"There are pros and cons, but if it weren't for that, I'm afraid that person wouldn't have informed about it," the emperor nodded, agreeing with this anonymous way of reporting the news, "Then, have you verified the Jiang Hong torreya?"
"Confirmation is in progress, but the result should not be bad. I have also listed the names of the people in the Gyeonggi Prefecture and the Ministry of Criminal Affairs who have a relationship with Jiang Hong Torreya, and will investigate them one by one to determine the accomplices."
"Okay," the emperor approvingly glanced at Jia She, "wait for the results to be reported. I won't talk about business today. I'll talk about other things. I'll be happy."
Jia Amnesty nodded slightly.
The emperor stopped and asked him with a smile: "Tell me the truth, what do you think about the third princess? Do you like it or not?"
Jia Amnesty immediately replied, "It's hard to say."
The emperor didn't expect Jia Amnesty to reject him straight away, and immediately frowned in displeasure.Fortunately, he heard that Jia She's refusal was not thorough, the emperor was not immediately angry, and asked what Jia She meant.
"I don't want to deceive the emperor to hide it. I only have one relationship with the three princesses. If I really say that because of this one meeting, my love will be deeply rooted. I really can't tell such a lie." Jia She paused for a moment, then continued. Said, "The subject's liking will never be a superficial liking. Once you are happy, it will become newer with time."
The emperor was stunned for a moment, then his expression turned from anger to joy, and he burst out laughing, patting Jia She on the shoulder while sighing.
"In that case, I will ask you to get along with the third princess more."
Jia Amnesty nodded slightly at the emperor, even if it was a perfunctory response.
The emperor took Jia She for a walk around the Imperial Garden, and introduced him to some unique places with great interest. He told Jia She to come here often after marrying a princess. It would be good to get familiar with the road .
After all, the emperor was busy with state affairs, so Jia Amnesty was dismissed not long after.
After leaving Miyagi, Jia Amnesty frowned, showing disgust.
The emperor just said that if he asked him what he meant, but in fact he refused a little, and the emperor became very angry. It can be seen that he has already confirmed this marriage in his heart, and he can't let him say no to marrying a royal daughter.This is the feudal emperor, no matter how enlightened he is, there are times when he is unreasonable.
Jia Amnesty was unhappy, but the emperor was happy.After he finished handling the state affairs, he went to see the queen, and also learned what Jia She said to him to the queen.
"Look at the person I like, how down-to-earth and down-to-earth. At that time, if another woman listened to Jia Aiqing, she would definitely be tempted."
"It's very good." The queen smiled, but she was also happy for Song Xi.
Ever since the queen noticed that Song Xi and Jia She were together, she was worried about Song Xi. After all, Jia She had a bad reputation in the past.Now, based on the news she had inquired in the past year, as well as the compliments she heard from the emperor, she gradually felt that Jia She and her younger brother matched each other very well.
They have similar temperaments, but Jia She is more flesh and blood, so that her younger brother finally lives more like a human being, with seven emotions and six desires.
If there is really one person in this world who can warm up Song Xi, Jia Amnesty is the only one.
Seeing the emperor's enthusiasm for the marriage between the third princess and Jia Amnesty, the queen regretted her selfishness back then.In order to win more contacts for the fifteenth prince, she indulged the third princess' affection for Song Xi.Now that I think about it, she was too greedy, and it's not because Song Xi warned herself that day.
The queen thought that she hadn't seen Song Xi since that day, so she asked the emperor for instructions and sent the fifteen princes out of the palace to see Song Xi on her behalf.
"You just want to see him and call him into the palace. I said it earlier. I don't mind your siblings meeting each other. Why are you so taboo?"
The emperor thought that the empress was out of consideration for the rule that "concubines are not allowed to associate with foreign ministers", and felt sorry for the empress' empathy. He hugged her and refused to let go, kissing her lips lightly.Then he whispered softly in her ear, and discussed with her to have another prince come out.
After the third prince disappointed the emperor, the emperor cherished the memory of his prince and lamented that there were too few royal heirs.
The queen refused, and cleverly persuaded the emperor to rest with other concubines.
Gong Nai was puzzled: "Why did the empress give up the emperor to other concubines?"
"I'm getting old." The queen sighed with a wry smile, she didn't want to risk her life for having another child.If she left early, the fifteen princes would have no one to rely on, and sooner or later she would follow in the prince's footsteps.
Gong Nai rolled her eyes, and immediately understood the meaning of her mother's words, and couldn't help crying for the queen in her heart.Everyone in the world says that the queen is beautiful and her mother is all over the world, but who knows the sadness behind this glory.
That night, Miwenxuan received another report letter from Jia Yucun.
Another night, still the same.
Then it continued for three consecutive days, and it was still one letter every night.
The content is basically the same, but the tone of the complaint is getting more and more angry.
Jia She still just laughed it off and ignored it.
It's the middle of the month again soon, and the No. 12 issue of "Secrets Next Door" will be released.
It was warm in April, and before dawn on the [-]th day, there was a long queue at the gate of the bookstore.
Although the door didn't open, a young servant from all over the world came out with a box of things, and took the opportunity to sell them to everyone.
"New style pen, take a look, take a look, draw as you go, without the hassle of ink staining." The boy shouted, while sharpening his pencil, he drew a pig on the rice paper for everyone to see.
Some literati thought it was good, and asked the price, and it was not expensive at all, so they bought it immediately.Others also shouted for the boy, and they wanted it too.After a while, a box of [-] pencils was sold out.The boy was still busy, showing them how to sharpen a pencil.
This pencil is cheap and affordable, thanks to Song Xi's contribution.
Song Xi saw that the pen Jia She used was good that day, so he casually told the people around him to ask for a bundle.Hengshu didn't know how thick the bundle their master said was, so he just wanted as much as possible.When the storekeepers of several shops under Song Xi's name heard that it was the master's order, they studied it with all their might based on Mo Yunxuan's finished product.
The Song family has a lot of industries, and there are many mountains and mountains. There are graphite mines in several mountains.The steward who is responsible for the management of the mountain industry provided the cheap graphite ore produced by himself. After the graphite was ground into powder, it was mixed with clay and poured into wooden tubes by craftsmen to make pencils in batches.
Later, I calculated that the cost of this thing is not high, one penny for each.The shopkeeper planned to promote this product, so he informed Hengshu, and Hengshu asked Song Xi again.Song Xi only left this matter to Jia She, and now his is Jia She's.
So there are now cheap pencils, which are popular in the market.
Fang Zhenglu saw that the sales volume was good, so he sent someone to inform Heng Shu that they could produce more in the future.Although pencils are cheap, they consume a lot of money. If they sell well in the future, they might make more money than "Secrets Next Door".
Maozheng, all rivers and rivers are open.
When everyone saw the new issue of "Secrets of the Neighbor" placed high on the counter, they all became excited and rushed forward.Although the all-inclusive servants have been supervising everyone queuing up, they still wish to throw the person in front of them down and fly forward.
The release was quick, and within half an hour, the team basically disappeared.Instead, the literati who got the book gathered upstairs and downstairs, commenting on the content of the new issue of the book with interest as usual.
"One person killed 17 people, not as many as Wang Ziteng, but it was also very cruel."
"But this Cen Laide's life experience is also pitiful. If his own father was not like a beast, he would not be like this."
"But concubines are good at buying and selling, this is a truth that can be said anywhere."
"That's right, the child in the womb of a lowly woman is not very useful when it is born."
"You're wrong. Tiger poison doesn't eat children. Women with low status are also women. If you don't want children, don't do such a thing as having a baby!"
"What's the big deal for a man to sleep with a diva? Ask these people present, how many of them haven't slept?" the former retorted in disbelief.
"Sleep as soon as I sleep, but there are a few of them like Ding An who throw their own flesh and blood out at will! Are you, I will beat you if you are!" The latter was so angry that his face was red, and he was about to punch .
Neither of them was convinced. After fighting with each other, they attacked each other personally, and they really fought by the neck.
Everyone watched the excitement, and some persuaded the fight, but the more people there were, the more quarreled they became.Naturally, they were divided into two groups, each insisted on their own opinions, and there was a lot of quarrel.
Seeing this, Aoyama, the name shopkeeper who is inclusive of all rivers and rivers, knocked on the gong and warned everyone: "Read quietly and discuss peacefully! Everyone is a gentleman, and you must not do anything that insults the gentleman. No one is allowed to bicker and fight here, otherwise Don’t blame me for being rude, please go out and talk. If you are not satisfied and cause serious troubles, we will write their names on the blacklist as appropriate for people to watch.”
After Qingshan finished speaking, he asked the boy to show the board he had prepared earlier, on which was pasted a piece of snow-white rice paper, with the word "Blacklist" written in block letters on the top center of the paper.
Everyone was honest when they saw this.
The two people who were fighting each other were also pulled away, but it was the one who spoke out of line and thought it didn't matter whether the diva's child died or not, and was rejected by most of them with strange eyes.In the end, the man had no face to stay any longer, he stiffened for a while, and then pretended to leave.
This spring candidate Song Yi was also among them. He was the one who boasted that he and Song Xi were of the same clan. Later, he had the courage to ask Song Xi a question and got a response, so he became famous among literati.
Everyone joked about him, should they also ask Song Xi about this matter this time.Song Yi just smiled and said nothing.
Everyone booed even more, asking him to guess at any rate, how Master Song would evaluate this matter.
"Sir Song's thoughts are something that people like me can't figure out. Don't make fooling around. You will have the palace exam soon, and you are still here to join in the fun. I have to go to the next door to study, and ignore you." Song Yi He's not a fool, every time these people push him to talk about Song Xi, he is afraid that if he talks too much, he will really provoke some talk and offend Mr. Song.
But everyone couldn't help Song Yi to hide, let him guess, just talk casually, it won't do anything.
Song Yi thought about it carefully, and then said: "Xu Hui said, 'It's not benevolent to be born but not raised'?"
Everyone was stunned when they heard it, and praised the words one after another.
"Master Song said earlier that 'regardless of high or low, the innocent should not be brought to death', he certainly would not have praised Ding An for abandoning his pregnant concubine."
"That's natural. You may not know that I have a relative who works in the Song Mansion. I heard that Mr. Song's son is a concubine born to a maid. He was taken over by his elder brother when he looked down upon him like nothing. I have always attached great importance to him as my own son."
When all the candidates heard this, they all felt that it was reasonable, and they all echoed Song Yi's words.The reason is simple, Chunwei's examiner is Song Xi, and the examiner's thoughts are their thoughts.
It is rare for the literati in the sea to be persuaded by a single sentence to agree with each other this time.
As soon as the room was quiet, a troublemaker came, arguing to see the shopkeeper to discuss important matters.
Qingshan took this person into the private room.
"Let me ask you, is this the bookstore opened by the author of "Secrets Next Door"?"
Aoyama nodded.
"Then, can the matter I want to report reach the ears of the author?"
"Of course." Qing Shan smiled.
"What about the Mystery Hall? It's just a decoration? I wrote several times, and this new issue of "My Neighbor's Secret" is out, and there is nothing about my report!"
Qing Shan looked at this man, he looked like a literati, very sour and arrogant, his face was full of anger, it seemed that he had accumulated a lot of dissatisfaction and wanted to find fault.Qingshan felt that this person could not be dismissed by himself, and he was not clear about the matter of Biwenxuan.So he took this person to the side room in the backyard to meet Fang Zhenglu, and asked Fang Zhenglu to deal with it.
When Fang Zhenglu heard that this person was the one who wrote consecutive letters to report that they had pardoned the Grand Master, he looked at him in surprise and asked him his name.
"Jia," Jia Yucun looked at Fang Zhenglu dissatisfiedly, "I want to see the writer and clarify this matter in person. Don't you have anonymous testimonies in your books? I am an important witness. Back then When Zuo Zhiqiu bribed Jia Amnesty, I was there and can testify."
Fang Zhenglu was stunned, and nodded with a smile, "We have received your letter, and further investigation is needed. If it is true, the author will publish it on "Secrets of Neighbors" as appropriate."
"Discretionary? That is to say, it is possible not to publish it?" Jia Yucun grasped the loopholes in Fang Zhenglu's words, then rolled his eyes shrewdly, and sighed with a sneer, "I thought that the book writer was a person who did not distinguish between high and low, and was full of righteousness and righteousness." People. Could it be that he is also a person who fears power and is as cowardly as a mouse? Just because the master of the Rong Mansion is a first-rank official, and the evidence is solid, he is timid and afraid to offend?"
Fang Zhenglu looked at Jia Yucun speechlessly, not knowing what to say.If he hadn't had to abide by the rules set by Mr. Xi, he really didn't want to pretend to be gentle at this moment, so he went straight to him and beat him out, the most brutal way to relieve hatred!
"All that needs to be said has been said, please do your own thing." After Fang Zhenglu finished speaking, he got up to leave.
Jia Yucun stared at the back of Fangzheng Road, and suddenly realized, "I remembered, I saw you in the Neighborhood Pavilion! The Neighborhood Pavilion was opened by Jia Enhou, could it be you and him..."
Fang Zhenglu turned his head with a cold face, and explained to Jia Yucun openly: "Where is "Secrets of the Next Door", I will be there, you are overthinking."
Jia Yucun was stunned for a moment, thinking that if this guy was from "Secret Stories Next Door", it would be the same reason.Previously, Neighborhood Xuan sold "Secrets of Neighborhood", and there was no conflict where he appeared.And the shopkeeper of Neighborhood Xuan is Wanfu, not him.
Jia Yucun dispelled his doubts, but Fang Zhenglu's anger remained, and he warned Fang Zhenglu to tell the author what he had said.
"I believe that the author of the book is not a cowardly coward. I hope that in the next book, I can see him expose Jia Amnesty's scandal in a fair and righteous way and let the world see it."
Fangzhenglu watched Jia Yucun leave with cold eyes, felt that it was unreasonable, sneered twice, and sent someone to pass the words to Jia Amnesty.Jia Amnesty immediately sent someone to reply, telling Fang Zhenglu to ignore it.
The content of the No.12 issue of "Secrets of Neighbors" directly poked at the problem of "concubine buying and selling", which sparked many discussions.From the literati circle at the beginning, to the noble women's family circle, to the common people in the market, and finally a few supervisory censors reported this issue to the emperor.
In the court hall, several humerus important officials were arguing about this issue, their faces were red.Some people think that a concubine is lowly, since the business has been approved, there is no need to care whether she is pregnant or not.Some people think that this kind of practice is too cruel and violates the benevolence and righteousness of a gentleman.
It seems that the world has been peaceful recently, except for the spring drought in the Northwest and the need to allocate money to relieve the disaster, there is really nothing else.
The emperor watched these ministers making noise with cold eyes, his ears hurt, and then he turned his eyes and landed on Jia She, a little bit of blame, it was all because of him.Then look at Song Xi, who looked indifferent and turned a deaf ear.Look at Prime Minister Wu again, he is already old, his eyelids are a little drooping, now he is pretending to be like a log, he looks like he is asleep.But yes, this old man is a strict wife, and he doesn't even have a concubine except his wife, so he probably can't understand the meaning of this debate.
The emperor moved his buttocks, yelled at these courtiers who owed their mouths to shut up, turned to look at Jia She, Song Xi, and Prime Minister Wu, and decided to name one of these three people, and try his best to solve this problem .After the emperor looked around, he still felt that Song Xi was the most out of the way, so he asked him to speak.
"'A husband who is a father must be able to order his son'. Animals know how to raise young, but people are not as good as animals? Is this still arguable? It is directly written into the law. When a concubine is pregnant, it is enough to prohibit trading. .” Song Xiyan said succinctly.
Jia Amnesty: "The minister seconded the proposal."
Prime Minister Wu: "The minister also seconded the proposal."
All the ministers hurriedly seconded the proposal, and none of them dared to second it, fearing that they would become "worse than animals".
Besides, Mr. Song did not prohibit the trading of concubines, but only prohibited the trading of pregnant concubines.It is indeed right for a man to fulfill his obligations to his offspring, and there is really no need to argue after thinking about it.
So what was everyone arguing about just now?
Under the mood of self-doubt and self-examination, the civil and military officials of the Manchu dynasty went to court and separated.
Song Xi took Jia She's hand with a smile, and said to him, "I see."
"What do you know?" Jia Amnesty was suddenly confused by this question.
"You have never had a superficial liking for people, and the more time passes, the newer you will be."
Jia She laughed, it turned out that Song Xi knew what he said to the emperor that day.
"What should I do? We've been like this for a long time. It's the one who is an eyesore. When will you do it?"
Song Xi: "My people have already checked in. The carriage is indeed as you guessed. You just need to find a reason for this matter, go to the princess's mansion and arrest it directly. You can do it whenever you want."
"What are you waiting for, today is the day." Jia Amnesty said bluntly.
