Jia Zheng Wucai in the Red Chamber

Jia Zheng glanced at the slightly deformed sweet-scented osmanthus cake, and then at Jia She who left proudly with his head up.

Following the same example, the officials around him knelt down and saluted. Jia Zheng didn't feel that some men had gold under their knees, but he was a little interested. Anyway, I have already bought the tickets to the zoo (kneeling), so I must see it. With the mentality of protecting animals at the national level, I want to take a look at the descendants of the dragon.

However, even if he stood on tiptoe a little and his eyesight was excellent, he was still no match for a palace gate and the palace attendants clustered around the emperor.

Not worth the return ticket, Jia Zheng got up and flicked the dust on his knees, relying on the few words transmitted by the wind, combined with Jia Zheng's memory, silently thinking about the current external environment of Jia's family.

Emperor Wu abdicated two years ago to let the virtuous, and Situ Zheng, who used to be known as a virtuous king, ascended the throne as Emperor Hui, named Emperor Hui.Since he came to the throne, he has changed his old style and acted decisively. He has beaten many rats in the DPRK and China, which has been praised by the common people.

After all, anyone with a discerning eye can see that Emperor Hui is using the name of corruption to eradicate dissidents and attack the ministers who surrounded the other princes in the past.However, as the biggest loser in the failure of the battle for the throne, the supporters of the deposed prince, such as the nobles such as the four princes and eight princes, or the former officials of the Eastern Palace such as the prince and Taifu, were all protected by the emperor.

Therefore, the Shuanghuang's superficial father's kindness and son's filial piety are undercurrents.

Of course, this is almost something on the surface. As for the deeper contest... Jia Zheng frowned tightly, and laughed directly. The analysis of the political situation in Jia Zheng's head is not as good as even the Internet keyboard warriors of later generations.Thanks to his status, he is considered a top 1 red 1 third generation.

However, no amount of exclamation at the moment will help.He became Jia Zheng.

===

After standing in the cold wind for an hour, Jia Zheng moved his stiff thighs, and slowly followed his colleagues from the Ministry of Industry back to the Yamen.

Seeing his colleagues sit down in groups of three or four at the breakfast stall next to the yamen, familiarly calling them eat and drink, Jia Zheng also sat down.Looking at the steamed steamed stuffed bun shop in the frosty dew, and smelling the faint smell of meat, he felt that the pastry Jia She gave earlier was a bit sweeter.

"Guest officer, what would you like to eat?" The owner of the steamed stuffed bun shop called out loudly.The rest of the adults are regular customers, and they often order food, and they will know what the other party wants by saying an old rule.But the one who sat down at the end was ruthless.

"Here's a steamed stuffed bun with vegetarian dishes, and a bowl of soy milk." Jia Zheng replied.

"okay!"

After a while, a little yellow white bread and soy milk appeared in front of Jia Zheng.

Jia Zheng eats politely, but he devours it at a speed that can be described as voracious. Seeing his colleagues from the Ministry of Industry, who were already very surprised, were extremely surprised.

It's not that these poor children who have studied hard exclude Jia Zheng, but that since Jia Zheng took office half a year ago, he has been talking about being superior to others, except for a few empty words about serving the country and the people, and he has heard nothing of substance. Even in the Ministry of Industry, they even complained that they "begged" money with the Ministry of Households, which was insulting to the gentlemen.

It's simply a horror of slipping the world!

The Ministry of Industry does not have much money among the six ministries, but the development of every project such as damming the river embankment and building official residences requires money.They calculated and calculated the budget carefully, and they talked to the Ministry of Accounts and Accounts in all kinds of earnest ways and intrigue with other departments to get some funds.

But today... everyone looked at Jia Zheng vaguely, and saw that he was also sitting on a crude table and chair, and the steamed stuffed buns made of second-class white flour were gesturing with extravagance. Suddenly, they felt that they were delicious Some of the food reads; hard to swallow;.

Jia She also found it hard to swallow.He could just send a servant to pass on the message, but thinking about going to the Ministry of War, there is nothing to do, and it is freezing in the street, and the shop has not yet opened, so he turned his eyes, and the good brother was heartbroken, ready to come Look at the scene of Jia Zheng's office.

Thinking of his younger brother who could bend over to him in public, or even kneel down, Jia She felt that the cold wind blowing today was extremely gentle.Especially when he got off his horse and saw Jia Zheng sitting alone at a table, he almost burst into tears from laughing.

Jia Amnesty held Mrs. Tang in his arms, and swept Jia Zheng's blue and white bowl of soy milk. There was a gap in the top, and his handsome face turned green with disgust, "You just drink this? No, you guys Those who are officials say that the magistrate has a hundred thousand snowflakes in three years, let alone those who are in the capital, why pretend to be poor?"

He is clear about the titles and officials above the third rank, but in his eyes, those below the fourth rank are like sesame mung beans, and he has no patience to memorize official records.But even though I don't have much memory, and I don't even know what a fifth-rank member like Jia Zheng does, but the world is as black as crows.

For an official in the capital, apart from his salary, he also has the filial piety of officials from other places every year, and there are usually many wealthy businessmen who are secretly managed by the people.Don't say that the six departments are so rich that they are different from Qingshui Yamen, just like this Ministry of Industry, as long as you cut corners a little, you can exchange a lot of real money. Don't take illegal things as examples, let's put it simply, go out and give There is also a lot of embellishment fees for a wealthy businessman to draw a blueprint of a house.

Jia Zheng obviously felt a lot of hostile gazes, but looking at Jia Amnesty who didn't notice it, or didn't care if he noticed it, the corners of his mouth twitched, and he said, "This hour is not the agreed time."

"Oh," Jia She said with a calm expression, "it's time for filial piety, I'm here to visit the six parts, check out places, and recognize people, in case something happens in the future and I can't find someone to handle it. If you eat well, Brother happens to be in a good mood, and I will take you to meet Shangshu."

Jia Zheng: "...Has anyone ever told you that you are not flattering?"

He had never seen such a pull of hatred, and he didn't even think about sitting next to a group of ministers who were working hard.

"My young master..." Jia She bit the tip of his tongue, with a look of grief and indignation: "Master, why should I act according to their face? I don't have to change the way of doing things abruptly in front of a group of sesame officials. You must know that I am also with a group of sesame officials. The prince has been with each other before, this is the same reason, I and them, just like the prince and me, are separated by a natural barrier. They take it for granted that the prince kneels and licks? Master, I am not born with a golden spoon?"

Jia Zheng was dumbfounded.It is rare in the world that Feng Feng can speak so confidently.

"No fun." Jia Amnesty had a sullen face, unhappy, "It's not speculative, you go to the household department and wait, I'll go back and bring Jia Zhu."

After finishing speaking, Jia Amnesty stood up and got into the car.

Jia Zheng had no choice but to respond in silence, finished his meal in silence, and politely asked Shangfeng for leave. Brother Tao had something to do, and he needed to ask for half a day off.

After going through the formalities of asking for leave and changing into casual clothes, Jia Zheng estimated Jia Amnesty's temperament and the distance between the Yamen of the Ministry of Industry and Rongguo Mansion, and walked slowly to the Ministry of Household Affairs.

Although the six yamen are not in the imperial city like the cabinet, they are also close to the imperial palace.Therefore, the distance between each other is only a few streets.

It's also quick to walk.

Jia Zheng carefully observed the surrounding scene while walking.Now it's daylight, people are coming and going on the street, peddlers and pawns are hawking along the street, it's very lively.

Just experiencing the rare and comfortable daily life of shopping in the ancient times, I suddenly saw a group of people in front of me, and the government officials were holding up the wooden sign of quiet avoidance, but they couldn't stop the buzzing discussions and more and more people who came to see the excitement.

There was a faint movement in his heart, and he glanced at the team holding the banner of the Ministry of Punishment. Jia Zheng showed interest and approached, wanting to take a look at the ancient version of petition, but before he could take a few steps, bursts of laughter erupted from the crowd. Shocked, and then moved out of the way, one of the women with disheveled hair was waving a dagger with her right hand, and her left hand was tightly pinching the neck of a three or four-year-old boy.

The dagger inlaid with gemstones shone brightly in the sun, contrasting with the tearful eyes of the child in his arms, the horror was so clearly visible.

A meter away from them, a big man with patched clothes showed a look of panic, opened and closed his mouth, knelt down and said, "Please, don't kill my second child. We don't have any grudges against you, please." , I am just such a child."

"Don't come here, don't come here for me!" The woman shouted loudly, her eyes flickering with madness.

"please……"

"..."

Jia Zheng didn't want to intervene, the good thoughts in his heart had already been wiped out by the doomsday, leaving only a heart of stone.What's more, if you don't know the cause of the incident, how can you judge whether it is right or wrong.

Jia Zheng raised his legs and walked, but before he could take a few steps, he heard the crowd behind him shouting "Shocked Horse", the sound of Yamen servants drawing their swords to stop him, and a very popular saying in later generations: "The horse is startled, Hurry up and get out of the way, block here and touch porcelain, and wait for compensation!"

Everyone retreated hastily, and Jia Zheng also stopped, turning his head to look at Jia She, who got out of the carriage and looked like he had been reborn after a catastrophe.

Jia Amnesty looked around, and looked at the woman who seemed to be stupefied with frightened eyes, and smiled proudly at the servant of the Ministry of punishment.

The servant of the Ministry of Punishment glanced sideways at the guard and motioned him to stop the woman who was threatening the child of an innocent passer-by. Then he rolled his eyes at Jia Amnesty, especially when he saw a small head coming out of the curtain. Jia Lian, with a small white face, was afraid for a while.

Before, he sat in the sedan chair and refused to come out, no matter how the woman begged for mercy, he would not accept the complaint, but he knew that the other party's case was well-documented according to the law and could not be reversed.

Moreover, it is a great rebellion for a son to kill his father and behead his stepmother.

Even though he has many difficulties, he still cannot change this iron-like fact.

But if he knew that Jia Lian was in the carriage, he would take the case directly without saying a word.

"Scattered, do you understand, do you know who I am, sir? That little official in front, what about you, take your people and go! You actually blocked the general's way, and you don't want to live anymore?" Jia Sheben took Jia Zhu took Jia Lian out again, wanting to be a good father first, and took people to the street to play along Dongzhou Lane in Hubu, but when he saw the crowds crowded near the Yamen of the Ministry of Punishment, he followed the crowd to watch the excitement, and sent a boy to find out if it was right. The dutiful daughter betrayed her father, and was brought to court by the dude.

After receiving the reward, Jia Amnesty consolidated the news and was immediately dumbfounded.Lu Yuanwai of Luzhou was killed by his son.The murderer's nanny stopped the servant of the criminal department in the street, and wanted to sue the imperial court and reverse the case.As a result, the waiter didn't have a receipt, and the nanny frantically snatched the passerby's child and threatened him.

After being dumbfounded, Jia She drifted his eyes to the unlucky Minister of the Ministry of Punishment who had been stopped and urged. He had a handsome face and was very beautifully dressed in a third-rank official robe. Anyway, he was young and good-looking beyond description.The other party is his brother-in-law's concubine.

His father-in-law and mother-in-law love each other deeply, and they are a couple for the rest of their lives, and they only have one pair of children.His daughter married him, not to mention being ruined, but he also felt that he was a little unworthy of others, not to mention that he died because of his child, and there was always some debt.This guilty heart was transferred to the father-in-law and mother-in-law.Now, his brother-in-law Ma Ge shrouded his body and died in battle, and the widow Lan Yun took care of his father-in-law and mother-in-law.

In short, he cannot watch others bully the widow, his wife, sister-in-law and daughter-in-law.

Therefore, he had no choice but to bite the bullet and come out of the busy city to attract everyone's attention, so that the guards could catch the crazy woman in the chaos, and he didn't want her to get involved in this troublesome case.

But never expected--

Jia She was so surprised that he could stuff a duck's egg in his mouth, and looked at the crazy woman who broke free from the restraints of the guards and knelt in front of him in amazement: "General, please be the master!"

"Go away, I'm a dude, don't you understand!"
