The first paparazzi in the Red Chamber

Prime Minister Wu started practicing Tai Chi again, and bowed to the emperor: "Please ask the emperor to judge."

The emperor froze for a moment, looked at Song Xi, and then at Prime Minister Wu.

There was silence in the hall.

The emperor wanted to ruthlessly demote these two people directly and never hire them.However, if there is no evidence to drive away two high officials at the same time, I'm afraid it will make other courtiers feel chilling.Zhen She had just taken office not long ago, and he was the one who sealed it personally, so he was demoted so easily, it seemed that he was going back on his word.And Cao Lan has been in the court for more than ten years, and he is considered a veteran. If he surrenders, it will appear that he has no nostalgia for the veteran.

When the emperor was in a difficult situation, Song Xi suddenly opened his mouth, "Please issue an order to severely reprimand!"

Cai Feiping hurriedly agreed.

Prime Minister Wu also seconded.

The emperor was stunned for a moment, then looked at Song Xi with admiring eyes, his face showed joy, and said simply: "Okay, it's just like what Song Aiqing said. Come here, draw up an order immediately, and I must reprimand them well." Three people."

Jia Amnesty watched coldly, a little in disbelief why Song Xi was adding that reprimand.If Song Xi had stopped speaking just now, the emperor would naturally admit what he had said before, and ordered to deal with Cao Lan, Zhenshe and the two, so that they would not be dismissed directly, and would at least be downgraded by one or two levels.But Song Xi did not, but gave the emperor another suggestion at a critical moment, which immediately changed the emperor's intended punishment attitude, and finally turned into a verbal reprimand.

Jia Amnesty didn't quite understand the reason for Song Xi's move, but he knew in his heart that there was probably a way of being an official that he didn't understand, and he also understood the reason for looking at Prime Minister Wu and Cai Feiping.

Jia Amnesty didn't say much.After leaving the Hall of Supreme Harmony, Song Xi left in a hurry due to the affairs of Gyeonggi Prefecture. Jia Amnesty hadn't reconciled with Song Xi in front of outsiders at this moment, so he couldn't follow Song Xi directly in front of outsiders.He pulled Cai Feiping to talk and asked him what happened just now.

At this moment, Prime Minister Wu suddenly turned around and walked towards the two of them, twirling his beard with a smile, patted Jia She on the shoulder, and sighed that Jia She was lucky.

"What does this have to do with my luck?" Jia Amnesty asked puzzled.

Cai Feiping smiled, "Prime Minister means the relationship between you and Mr. Song. Mr. Song still misses you, so he cleaned up Cao Lanzhenshe and the two of you in the hall just now."

"Is there?" Jia Amnesty felt that he should really read more books on thick black studies in the future.

"Just wait and see, it's more effective to reprimand them than directly ask the emperor to demote them." Cai Feiping explained.

Prime Minister Wu also added in an unhurried tone, "Demotion directly will attract doubts; reprimanding by decree will also attract doubts, but the latter has a lot to say here."

Jia Amnesty looked at Prime Minister Wu and then at Cai Feiping.

Cai Feiping knew that Jia Amnesty was inexperienced as an official, so he should say more.He glanced at Prime Minister Wu, pulled Jia She aside, and continued to explain to Jia She in a low voice: "The emperor really wants to deal with those two people for you, but he is a king, and his words and deeds affect the general situation of the world. He is undocumented today. After disposing of two high officials in the court, if someone uses this as a basis to spread rumors and frame them in the future, and you say that the emperor has dealt with it but still does not deal with it, wouldn't the court be in chaos?

Therefore, we must not force the emperor to dispose of those two people, and rashly dispose of the two high officials in the court. After all, some people in the court will be dissatisfied, and then participate in the book. When the emperor listens to these people's words, he will gradually regret it and vent his anger For those of us, we have a heart of staying away.

Now Mr. Song is making a move to retreat, so that the emperor will first sympathize with you, and then feel guilty for you.Let the matter that should have been reprimanded verbally be reprimanded by the imperial decree.What is the imperial decree, once it is passed on, it will be known all over the world, and it will completely ruin the reputation of Cao Lan, Zhen She and the others.Gossip can kill, it's worse than demotion. "

Jia She understood everything now, and immediately nodded to express his understanding.Compared with direct demotion and reprimand, the latter seems to punish you, but it has a greater impact and torture on the two of them.

Prime Minister Wu was very happy to see Jia Amnesty, nodding and twirling his beard.

Cai Feiping pointed to Prime Minister Wu, and then said to Jia She: "Look, this is a typical old cunning officialdom. I just saw the situation in the hall just now, and he has already guessed Master Song's mind."

Prime Minister Wu had a calm and steady face, he didn't mind Cai Feiping's accusation at all.

Jia Amnesty quickly expressed his thanks: "I would also like to thank the two adults for their suggestions, I have learned a lot."

"Okay, you're welcome. The reason why we help you is also for another purpose. You and Mr. Song have reconciled in the next day. He has to remember these things. We will ask him to repay the favor." Cai Feiping smiled.

Prime Minister Wu nodded immediately, and looked at Jia Amnesty without concealing his purpose.

Jia Amnesty couldn't help laughing again, but he really liked the straightforward way these two spoke.Or maybe the two of them are old slickers in the officialdom, and they have already figured out his temperament, knowing that he likes such a straightforward way of expression, so they said this in front of him.

In short, both of them are knowledgeable people, and Jia She naturally appreciated it, and thanked them both for their clarification.

Jia Amnesty then parted ways with the two of them and returned to Yushitai.

Jia Amnesty had just sorted out the case files for half an hour when he saw Qin Zhonglu leading several fourth-rank supervisory censors to visit him.At first, the supervisory censors looked at each other and faltered, and then under the urging of Jia Amnesty, they brought up the matter that the emperor had just issued an order to reprimand Zhen She and the other three for their absurdity and fornication and shamelessness.

Immediately after Jia Amnesty heard that the imperial decree was issued, it immediately caused a commotion in the six departments of the imperial court, causing an uproar among the officials.Cao Lan and Zhen She were humiliated by the trouble, and after receiving the order, they went to the palace to apologize, but after leaving the palace, they were still pointed at all the way, and finally they couldn't stay in their respective duty places ashamed, and ran home hide.

At present, all the censor officials felt that the emperor only used an imperial decree to reprimand and punish them, which was too light. They wanted to submit the copy to the emperor, and requested that Cao Lan and Zhen She be severely punished.Since these two are court officials, character and morality are very important, and they cannot be generalized with the dandy and idle king like King Beijing.

Qin Zhonglu knew that Jia She was in the party that day, and was afraid that things would go out of proportion in the end, so he brought these censors who were concerned with the matter to meet Jia She and listen to Jia She's opinion.

"You all have your own opinions and reasons for this kind of thing, but you don't need to ask me, you can do whatever you want. But don't exaggerate and engage in unwarranted frame-ups." Jia She said.

When all the censors heard that their censor doctor was so enlightened, they happily agreed, and after making the promise, they all withdrew.

Qin Zhonglu stayed behind and asked Jia Amnesty what happened that day.Qin Zhonglu always felt that the three of them got together, it was a bit incompatible, they didn't match at all, it was incredible.

"It was an accident." Jia She took a meaningful look at Qin Zhonglu.

Qin Zhonglu immediately understood, he knew there must be some kind of conspiracy.He's not a particularly bright guy, but he knows how to protect himself.So Qin Zhonglu also knew that he couldn't ask more about things like this that he couldn't handle.After serving tea to Jia She with a smile on his face, Qin Zhonglu asked him to have dinner with him in the morning and then left.

Besides, Zhen Ke was full of ambition when he came to Yushitai this morning. Apart from continuing to familiarize himself with the affairs of Yushitai, he thought that he should also write a memorial recently to fulfill his duty of supervising Yushitai.Not long after, someone ran over and shouted that there was a lively event for everyone to participate in this time.

Zhen Ke was quite happy, and was the first to rush to the man's side, asking what was the matter.The visitor didn't know Zhen Ke's identity, so he told him about Zhen She, Cao Lan and Shui Rong's incident in Xiayang Tower.They also specifically emphasized that there were many witnesses at that time, and the three people could not deny the absurdity and fornication.

When the other censors heard this, they were all quiet, and looked at Zhen Ke with eyes that watched the excitement.Some even had a disdainful attitude, naturally thinking that Zhen Ke had such a misbehaving father, and his morals were not much better.

Furthermore, Zhen Ke herself is a special person in Yushitai.The people who are in charge of supervising censors here are all Jinshi backgrounds, and even the three newly recruited clerks of Yushitai are among the best among the top two.Zhen Ke, a mere Juren, was directly promoted to the fourth-rank supervisory censor, which in itself made other censors feel aggrieved.Fortunately, there was Master Jia as the base before Yushitai, so this time everyone felt more scruples, thinking that since Zhen Ke was able to be absolute against the previous emperor, she might really be the same as their respected Mr. Yushi, She is also a geek, so so far, everyone has not criticized Zhen Ke too much.

But at this time, after the news about his father Zhen She was exposed, everyone suddenly realized that they really looked down on Zhen Ke before.Then everyone's attitude towards Zhen Ke also became contemptuous, and they all laughed, pointed at her, and even more shameless for her father's actions.

Xu Shi lived a normal life and his life was too monotonous and boring, so the censors were all very interested in this romantic affair that was suddenly revealed.Everyone had a lively discussion, and there were inevitably conspiracy theories. They believed that Zhen She and Zhen Ke's father and son were lucky enough to become officials a few days ago, and it was probably related to this incident. Cao Lan or Bei Jing helped Zhang Luo.

Zhen Ke was ridiculed by these colleagues, and ran home to ask her father about the matter, but was slapped by his father instead.

Because of the gossip all over the city, Zhen She had nowhere to put her face in the quarrel, wishing she could get ashamed into the cracks of the ground.It's okay to be ridiculed outside and have no dignity, but when he turns around and goes home to hide, he is questioned by his own son, how can Zhen She not be angry.Immediately, he couldn't help but recall the scene of that day, and vomited a few more times abruptly.Hearing the rumors from the servant at home that he sold his body in exchange for an official position, Zhen She was so angry that his face turned red, and he punched the wall until his whole arm was so painful that he could feel it numbly.

Seeing this, Tang sent his son away quickly, and sat on the ground crying, shouting: "What a crime this is! If we had known today, we shouldn't have gone to Beijing and lived a peaceful life in Jiangnan."

"Hmph, live a small life? It's up to you, are you willing! If you weren't such a woman with big thoughts, always hoping that I would be promoted to a high official and make you famous among the ladies, I would be where I am today?" Zhen She was so angry that he walked into the house with a flick of his sleeves, closed the door with a bang, and roared in the room, and no one was seen after that.

Zhen Ke ran out from Yushitai without permission and has not asked for leave yet.So he rushed back to Yushitai at this moment, and came to Qin Zhonglu to ask for leave with a blushing face.Qin Zhonglu didn't dare to call the shots, so he asked Zhen Ke to go to Jia Amnesty to ask for leave.

Zhen Ke didn't dare to look for Jia Amnesty at first, and wanted to go back to the house silently, but at the door of the house, she heard the censors in the house laughing at his father unscrupulously.Zhen Ke was so ashamed that she had nowhere to put her face, of course she didn't dare to go back, so she had to bite the bullet and go to Jia Amnesty.I don't want to be dismissed by the clerk Liang Leyun just after reaching the door.

"Master Yushi is helping the prime minister with state affairs. If you don't have time to see you, you can go to Mr. Qin to decide this matter. Just say Mr. Jia is busy and don't care about this side."

Zhen Ke nodded, then went to Qin Zhonglu again.

When Qin Zhonglu heard that Jia She refused to talk to Zhen Ke, it meant to let him decide for himself.Qin Zhonglu thought of Jia Amnesty's suggestion that there was something wrong with this before, so he knew that it was probably Zhen She's scheme, and Jia She was disgusted by him.

How could Qin Zhonglu return Zhen She's son's face at this time, and said: "It's not that I don't give you face, it's just that there are a lot of things going on at Yushitai today, you see you have no illness or pain, and there is nothing too much at home It’s something urgent, and I’ll trouble you to do your duty before leaving.”

Qin Zhonglu then asked someone to take a stack of case files and sent Zhen Ke to deal with it, and told him to go home after finishing the work.

Zhen Ke's face was pale, and she took the file with shaking hands, then pursed her lips and agreed to leave.

When he returned to the room with the case file in hand, the censors who were in the room who were arguing and bustling stopped talking when they saw this.Zhen Ke lowered her head and sat down on the edge of the table, brushing ink and picking up a pen, summarizing the contents of the case file stroke by stroke according to Mr. Qin's instructions.

Seeing this, the censors started whispering, and some rushed to Zhen Ke's desk and asked him how he felt.Zhen Ke pursed her lips and did not speak, she just buried her head in what she was doing seriously.

The censors began to criticize Zhen Ke's father more loudly.Zhen Ke bit her lip, her hands trembled, but she held back, pretending she didn't hear anything, and continued writing.

"I'm talking to you!" Someone with a bad temper directly snatched what Zhen Ke was writing, and threw it outside the door.

Zhen Ke was furious, and stared at the censor who bullied him.

The crowd laughed.

At this time, someone suddenly called "Lord Song" with a trembling voice, and the room suddenly became quiet.

Before Zhen Ke realized who 'Master Song' was, she saw that the discarded piece of paper was put back on her desk, and there was half of what he had just written on it.Zhen Ke also saw a particularly slender and beautiful hand, with a purple sleeve with auspicious cloud pattern hanging on the wrist.This is the official uniform that can only be worn by first-rank officials.

Zhen Ke immediately shuddered before realizing who Mr. Song was, and when she looked up, she saw Song Xi standing in front of his desk as tall as a jade.This was the first time that Zhen Ke saw Mr. Song so closely, and he did not expect him to be more flawless when viewed close up than when viewed from a distance.

Everyone else in the room saluted Song Xi in unison.

Zhen Ke was so frightened that she dropped her pen, then quickly knelt down to salute Song Xi, thanking him for helping her pick up the paper.

"Come with me." Song Xi said coldly, then walked away.

All the censors were stunned, wondering why Lord Song condescended to pick up things for Zhen She, and even asked him to go out.

"Could it be that the reason why Zhen Ke came to Yushitai was thanks to Master Song?"

"It's quite possible. After all, the late emperor's peerless pair, with Mr. Song's talent, he can definitely match up casually."

"I don't think so."

The censors were all confused.They waited for quite a while, but when Zhen Ke didn't come back, they all felt bored and went back to work.Afterwards, no one saw Zhen Ke come back until the value was released, as if Zhen Ke had been eaten by Mr. Song in one bite.

"Could it be that Mr. Song held grudges against Zhen She and killed his son directly?" Someone began to use their imagination.

"Nonsense, Mr. Song can just deal with whoever he hates directly, there is no need to go around in circles for revenge."

"You don't understand this. A tiger's poison does not eat its son. If Mr. Song really hates that Zhen She, he will take revenge on his son. It will definitely make Zhen She's life worse than death."

As soon as this remark came out, other censors immediately made jokes and scolded him for not being smart.

Unexpectedly, on the second day, after the censors presented the memorials of Cao Lan and Zhen She, they got a shocking news.Zhen Ke went so far as to kill his relatives righteously and enroll his father in a book.

Zhen She also clarified in the memorial that his father was an official who was dishonest, absurd and promiscuous, and betrayed the monarch's love.As the censor who supervises the officials of the imperial court, I must be loyal to the emperor first, and refer to his father for a copy based on the facts.But at home, he is willing to be filial, and he will kowtow to Ling Qiuyu to honor his father until his old age.If his father wanted to blame him for his participation, he would have no complaints even at the cost of his life.

After the emperor saw this memorial, he felt that Zhen Ke was loyal to the emperor and patriotic, without partiality, and his character was very rare.In the end, he complied with his wish and directly demoted Zhen She.

Originally, there was still room for redemption regarding the matter between Zhen She and Cao Lan.Zhen Ke participated in this performance, and criticized his father as a son. Even his own son felt that his father was ashamed of what he did, so how could others plead for Zhen She?This action directly made Zhen She even have no chance of dying with a needle.

As for Cao Lan, because of Zhen Ke's actions, she fell into despair and almost went crazy.Zhen Ke's reference made his father lose his job.Although his official position here is still preserved, his deeds are connected with Zhen She. Zhen She was demoted, but he was "fortunately" to stay in the court, how could he be let off by those people.Even if the emperor didn't decree to demote him, Cao Lan couldn't bear the strange eyes of his colleagues. Yushitai played four or five excerpts a day, and people around him pointed at him.

Cao Lan only persisted for two days, then she couldn't bear it anymore, and finally submitted a memorial to resign on her own initiative.

The emperor agreed immediately.

The matter could have ended there.Unexpectedly, three days later, news spread from the Zhen family that Zhen She died suddenly.

The incident happened very suddenly, just when Jia Amnesty was feeling confused, the black pig handed over the inside news of Zhen's residence, and Zhen Sheshi actually committed suicide.In order to preserve Zhen She's reputation, the eldest wife of the Zhen family, Tang Shi, pretended to be the cause of Zhen She's death and declared that she died suddenly.

It has been several days since the decree was deposed, and the rumors and rumors are already fading, yet Zhen She chooses to commit suicide at this time, which is a bit unreasonable.Jia She had a vague feeling that there was something strange about this matter.

Jia Amnesty had already sent someone to monitor Zhen She.The secret guard reported that Zhen She had secretly met someone on the night of his suicide.This person is tall and tall, wearing a black gauze hat, whose origin is unknown.After seeing him again, Zhen She took poison and committed suicide that night.

The secret guards followed the man in the black veil across two streets and saw him enter the inn.After the secret guard memorized the person's figure, he guarded the front and rear doors of the inn.He turned his head and waited until daytime, but there was no one there. When he went to look for it again, he was told by the waiter at the inn that after the man entered the inn last night, he threw away the money, and the waiter was not allowed to follow him. He never came out after entering the guest room.In the morning, the waiter knocked on the door and found that the room was empty and the bedding had not been touched at all.

"It's probably because we found out that we were following him, and escaped by jumping over the wall or on the roof." Guisan and Jia Amnesty reported back.

Jia Amnesty wrote down the general figure of this person, and then asked Gui San: "What do you think of this person's skills?"

"Riding fast and moving quickly, to be able to escape under our surveillance, at least have some light skills." Gui San concluded.

Jia Amnesty recorded everything truthfully, and suddenly remembered Jia Yucun, and asked Heizhu if they had found the results of their investigation.

The black pig hurriedly said: "There is no news about it until now. It turns out that the place where he lives and the places he often haunts are gone. He seems to have disappeared out of thin air. It is not ruled out that he escaped from the city quietly and no one noticed."

Jia Amnesty frowned and remained silent for a moment, then circled Jia Yucun's name on the notebook with a cinnabar pen.

Jia Amnesty then remembered that he hadn't seen Song Xi for several days.

That night, Jia Amnesty drove to the Song Mansion.

Now that Zhen She and Cao Lan have fallen, the two important minions of Concubine Xian have been cut off, and Song Xi must have instructed the Queen in advance to clear the way for Concubine Xian to get news in the deep palace.

Jia Amnesty didn't have to shy away from interacting with Song Xi. As for how the remaining virtuous concubines should fight, that was not something he should worry about. There were people in the palace who were more powerful than him.

In the past two days, Song Xi had just resumed the work of Song Xi as a scholar in the Wuying Palace, and there was a lot of backlog, so Song Xi never had time to relax.

Now Song Xi had just finished his homework and was in a hurry to go home when it was dark. As soon as he entered the house and heard that Jia She was coming, Song Xi was naturally happy, hurriedly walked into the study, and then hugged Jia She tightly and kissed fiercely.

After Jia Amnesty had had enough of his troubles, he put on a piece of clothing, sat up and told him about Jia Yucun, "I always feel that the disappearance of Jia Yucun is a bit strange."

"It's so easy to get together, so don't talk about other people's affairs." Song Xi stroked Jia She's hand, his eyes full of interest, "I can go to the other garden last time, I think the mountain spring water there is really good, and After you wash, you feel refreshed."

"Really, then why do I get tired more and more from washing?" Jia She glanced sideways at Song Xi.

"You are such a shameless person, you don't move much, so you don't get tired." Song Xi sighed.

Jia She smiled and stroked Song Xi's chest, "I won't lie to you, or try it next time if you don't move, it's just so weird."

Song Xi grabbed Jia She's hand and placed it firmly on his chest, "But I don't want you to move, it's more tiring to move, I'm younger than you, so naturally I should do the more tiring work."

Song Xi deliberately emphasized the sound of the word "gan" at the end.

Jia Amnesty glared at him, and immediately withdrew his hand.Thinking about Zhen Ke, Jia Amnesty asked him: "By the way, I heard that before Zhen Ke played his father, did you look for him?"

"When he was humiliated, his writing was steady and even, and he felt he was a talent to be created. After a few words of advice, he really lived up to my expectations." Speaking of Zhen Ke, Song Xi's attitude was indifferent, and there was no wave in his eyes.

"Is Zhen Ke available?" Jia Amnesty asked in surprise.

"Those who can endure humiliation and bear heavy burdens must have more perseverance than ordinary people, and they are rare and usable talents." Song Xi replied.

"My people found out that before his father committed suicide, he had seen someone." Jia Amnesty turned to ask Song Xi if he belonged to him.

Song Xi stared at Jia She's eyes without speaking.

"He's not innocent." After a long silence, Song Xi said softly.

Jia Amnesty's heart still trembled when he heard this, what does Song Xi mean by this?Admitted that the reason why Zhen She committed suicide had a lot to do with the people he sent?

"There are many things in the court that are difficult to distinguish between right and wrong, and evidence cannot be found for every single case. Sometimes, extraordinary methods must be used." Song Xi said.

Jia Amnesty frowned and didn't say anything, but in his heart he didn't agree with Song Xi's words, nor did he agree with Song Xi's behavior of persuading people to commit suicide casually.Jia Amnesty immediately thought of those court ladies who were somehow forced to commit suicide by Song Xi.Although the behavior of those court ladies is indeed shameful, but looking at it from another angle, Song Xi's way of killing people is even more terrifying.

Jia She couldn't help but wonder if he accidentally did something wrong one day and made Song Xi angry, would he end up like these people.

Song Xi grabbed Jia She's arm, then stretched out his head to kiss his forehead.Jia Amnesty hurriedly turned away, saying that he was tired, so he lay down and turned his back to Song Xi.

After a moment of silence, Song Xi lay down and put his arms around Jia She's waist from behind.

After the lights were turned off, Jia Amnesty kept his eyes open, thinking a lot and for a long time, and in the end even he couldn't bear to close his eyes and fell asleep at last.

Perhaps because of something on his mind, Jia Amnesty woke up very early the next day.

Jia Amnesty turned to look at Song Xi who was sleeping soundly with his eyes closed, and was about to get out of bed. When he bent over to put on his shoes, he felt a strand of hair being pulled.Jia Amnesty thought Song Xi was pulling him, but when he looked back, he found that his hair was tied together with Song Xi's lock.

Jia Amnesty had no choice but to get closer to Song Xi and untie the hair tied with the red string with his hands.I don't know what buckle Song Xi is wearing, but Jia Amnesty couldn't untie it even after a long time.Just when he felt a little impatient, Jia She's hand was suddenly grabbed.Jia She raised his eyes and met Song Xi's eyes.

"This is a sympathetic knot, you can't untie it unless you cut it with your own hands."

Jia Amnesty was stunned, and looked at Song Xi fixedly, he felt that there was something in Song Xi's words.

Song Xi smiled, and then said: "I'm just kidding with you, such an ugly thing is not a concentric knot, it was because I was sleepless and bored last night, so I tied it casually."

After Song Xi finished speaking, he took out a pair of scissors from the small drawer beside the bed, and cut the red rope directly.

He also suffered from insomnia last night?And since he hasn't noticed this thing yet, he must be going to bed later than him.Jia Amnesty didn't notice it at all, he still stared blankly at Song Xi without saying a word.

Song Xi stretched out his hand to test Jia Amnesty's forehead, and asked him what's wrong, if he was sick.

"No."

"You're cold to me, but you think I'm not good enough?" Song Xi asked with a smile.

Jia Amnesty looked at Song Xi, his eyes widening.

Song Xi looked at Jia She with some doubts, wondering how he treated himself with such an attitude when he woke up in the morning.

Jia Amnesty suddenly held Song Xi's face, and kissed it fiercely, before Song Xi could react, he quickly let go, put on his shoes and went down to the ground, and sent someone into the house to wait for them to change their clothes.

Song Xi was quiet until he finished dressing, but his eyes never left Jia Amnesty.

Jia Amnesty was so stared at by him, he couldn't help explaining to him: "I didn't sleep well last night, I fell asleep just now, maybe I was haunted by a nightmare."

"You are not because of a nightmare, but because of a demon in your heart. You have something on your mind, and you are hiding it from me." Song Xi glanced at Jia Amnesty indifferently, then turned around and sent someone to pass on breakfast.

Jia She moved his lips, originally wanting to tell Song Xi that he knew what happened to him when he was young, but the maid who delivered the dishes had already entered the door, so he said it was appropriate to say it now anyway.

After eating, Song Xi hurriedly bid farewell to Jia Amnesty because he was summoned by the emperor.

For the next three days, Jia Amnesty never took the initiative to meet with Song Xi again, and Song Xi never came to him, let alone sent someone to pass on messages to him as frequently as before.Coincidentally, in the past few days, Jia She occasionally went to the palace with Prime Minister Wu to do business in the Tai Chi Hall, and he never met Song Xi as "by chance" as before.

Because of the death of Zhen Ke's father, Ding You naturally couldn't come to Yushitai to be an official for three years. I heard that he has started to help the coffin to return home, and he will not return to the capital in a short time.

After Jia She heard the news, he remembered that Zhen Ke had to keep his filial piety for three years and could not be an official. So Song Xi said that he is a talent that can be cultivated, but did he want to train him after three years?But if Zhen Ke knew that Song Xi was the one who killed his father and enemy, how could he be at his mercy?

Jia Amnesty was a little confused, although Song Xi personally admitted to him that Zhen She's death was related to him, but he still felt vaguely that he might have misunderstood Song Xi.

The Zhen family is having a big funeral, and the servants in the mansion are at a time when their minds are at a loss, and the old master is dead, maybe the old people of the Zhen family can relax.Jia Amnesty asked people to start questioning from Zhen She's cronies, and then carefully investigate Zhen She's situation before his death.

It didn't take two days for the black pig to get news, telling Jia She that Zhenshe had received a letter before he died.At that time, the old servant of the Zhen family discovered that after Zhen She committed suicide, he also found traces of burnt paper in the brazier in the house.

It is not known who the sender was.At that time, the people Jia Amnesty sent to monitor the Zhen family did not take care of the Zhen family because they followed the man wearing the black gauze hat.But Jia She guessed that the letter probably came from Concubine Xian or Cao Lan.

So it's hard to say why Zhen She committed suicide, whether it was because of Song Xi's people, or that letter, or something else.

After calming down and thinking carefully, Jia Amnesty felt that he was still affected by the water dissolution.When Shui Rong told himself what happened to Song Xi back then, he didn't realize it at the time, but it had more or less affected him in his heart.Now that this influence was reflected on him, Song Xi also felt it.

Jia Amnesty couldn't help introspecting, realizing that in his heart he was still concerned about the cause of death of the 32 court ladies who committed suicide. He always felt that if this was what Song Xi said, it was indeed an extreme and contrary to human nature.Jia She felt that he should investigate thoroughly.He really knew it in his heart, and if he misunderstood, he didn't have to be suspicious and became taboo, so that there was a gap in his relationship with Song Xi.

However, it is very difficult to investigate the past events of the court many years ago. First, we need to start with the veteran officials in the court, and then the relevant insiders.For example, Prime Minister Wu, Cai Feiping, and the Huainan King.

After Jia Amnesty sorted out the matter here, the person who went to Yuzhou to investigate the gambling case of the son-in-law of the Chang family returned.

"You guys have checked carefully. This Tang Youli borrowed money in the casino as the son-in-law of the Chang family, but he didn't gamble a lot. It's just that when he entered the casino, he lied to people that he forgot to bring money. The people in the casino Everyone knew that he was the son-in-law of the Chang family, so they were naturally willing to lend him 800 taels of silver. Tang Youli only lost a few hundred taels of silver, or even won, and left.

Because there was an IOU, and Tang Youli's status was reliable, the casino would get some money if he borrowed one more day, so the casino bosses didn't go after Tang Youli's money that day, thinking that he would naturally repay the money in a few days.This trick was used in seven or eight casinos in Yuzhou at the same time, and it happened that day, after which Tang Youli disappeared.After waiting for four or five days, these casinos were shocked to hear that Tang Youli had disappeared, so they hurried to Chang's house with the IOU to ask for money. "

After Hei Zhu heard it, he said to Jia She: "It sounds like this man is cheating money."

"Over there in Suzhou, can someone send a message to investigate further?" Jia She asked.

Heizhu nodded, "But because Suzhou is far away, I won't be able to come back in a few months."

Jia Amnesty circled Suzhou and Yuzhou with a cinnabar brush on the rough map he drew himself.If this fellow continued to go north as he expected, the next place should be near the capital.

The fraudulent silver has been upgraded from 8000 taels to 1 taels.

It took only one month to get married in Suzhou, but three months in Yuzhou. Why was the time extended?
