Reincarnation of Soul Cultivation 2

Liu Shi received a case in Dali Temple. The salt households in the Lianghuai salt field sued the salt merchants for disregarding human life and selling public salt privately.

This case did not mention the officials of the salt government, and it seemed to be a matter between the salt households and the salt merchants, so it was not dealt with by the Ministry of Criminal Justice, but came to Dali Temple.

But even if there is no investigation, a discerning person can see that this will definitely involve the officials of the Lianghuai Salt Administration, and even their protective umbrella in the capital.There are countless dignitaries who may be involved behind the scenes.

Such a case fell into the hands of Liu Shi, but was not handed over to other people by the Shangguan. It seemed that other people thought the case was difficult and did not dare to mess with it.Or, someone took Liu Shi as a knife and used Liu Shi to stab the knives of political opponents.

But no matter what the situation is behind it, when the case is in Liu Shi's hands, he will investigate it conscientiously.He is not afraid of offending people, nor is he afraid of piercing the sky.As long as he doesn't leave any flaws or excuses for others, what can he be afraid of.

In this life, he was not born in an honorable family like Rongguo Mansion. Once his own family caught a lot of pigtails, if others wanted to punish Jia's family, they didn't need to resort to deceit. A random check of past events would be a pile of criminal evidence.

That is to say, the Rongning Second Mansion was ransacked, the whole family was washed, and the guilty were punished.Later, when the country was amnesty, the remaining members of the Jia family were considered innocent, and he could serve as an official as Jia Cong.

Now the whole Liu family, except him and Liu Shi'an's family, are considered officials, and everyone else is farming in Xiahe Village.There is no such thing as dominating the local area by virtue of the fact that there are officials in the clan.And he has the help of puppet particles, and he will quickly find out if there is any trouble around him.Liu Shi'an is more knowledgeable about power than Liu Shi, and when it comes to money, beauty and beauty, he can be strong without desire, and no one can grasp him.

Therefore, as long as Liu Shi does things with reason and evidence, he really has no fear.

Taking over the case, Liu Shi first sent his confidants to protect the plaintiff's Yanhu.

Having worked as an official in Dali Temple for many years, Liu Shi can be regarded as cultivating a few confidantes among the petty officials and yamen servants. They are not those with a strong sense of justice. People who think that Liu Shi has the same philosophy of life and work as Liu Shi just think that Liu Shi has a future. People who follow him can also have a future.

Liu Shi took his subordinates and the plaintiff to Lianghuai to investigate the case in person. Sure enough, someone tried to kill the plaintiff, but Liu Shi had so many tricks, not only protected the plaintiff well, but even investigated the case clearly.Even the account books of the transactions between the salt merchants and the Lianghuai Salt Administration, and the account books of the transactions between the Lianghuai Salt Administration and the dignitaries in Beijing.

Investigating the case is very simple for Liu Shi. As long as he uses puppet particles to control the confidantes of salt merchants or officials, he can easily obtain those account books and evidence, and also get the confessions and affidavits of these confidants. Evidence is there.When Liu Shi investigated the case, he didn't even directly confront the salt merchants or officials involved in the case.

This case was escalated immediately. It was a major case of embezzlement and bribery reaching tens of millions of taels. Not only that, the dignitaries involved in this case, in addition to officials, even included the emperor's second son, King Jing.

Liu Shi can directly arrest salt merchants, but he has no right to directly arrest high-ranking officials.It is still necessary to return to Beijing to report to the emperor, and only after obtaining the order can he have the right to deal with officials.So he was not in a hurry to arrest anyone, and he had to return to Beijing with personal evidence.

On the way back to Beijing, he secretly used puppets to kill several batches of killers who came to kill people, and used space to destroy corpses and wipe out traces.Liu Shi's subordinates didn't feel that someone was trying to kill them at all, so they returned to the capital safely.

The whole story of the case, as well as those books and evidence were presented to the emperor.

When the case was found here, Liu Shi secretly understood who was behind the case to him.

After the eldest son of the emperor, King Zhong, fell, the second son of the emperor, King Jing, took a favorable position to seize the heir apparent with the word "long".Last time the princes teamed up to overthrow King Zhong, which gave them a taste of the sweetness. This time they took advantage of King Jing, and the princes who wanted to compete for the reserve came to cooperate again according to the previous example.

With the secret promotion of these princes' forces, and Liushi's cheating to protect himself, the second son of the emperor Jingwang meddled in the salt government to plan huge profits, so he was easily found out and presented to the emperor.

This time, after King Zhong opened the iron mine privately, he broke the sky again.

The emperor was very shrewd. He knew that whether it was King Zhong's private opening of the iron mine or King Jing's private withholding of the national salt tax, his sons were the driving force behind it.

But both Zhong Wang and Jing Wang did wrong things, so that they were caught by others, this is also true.

Such a son who is full of selfishness and only wants to suck blood from the country and the court is not worthy of being the crown prince and the future master of the country.

So he also dealt with King Jing and King Jing's wings mercilessly.Numerous heads fell to the ground in Beijing, many dignitaries confiscated their homes and exiled, and there was even a power adjustment in the imperial palace.Since King Jing is no longer the candidate for the crown prince, only by cleaning his wings will he not be in trouble again in the future.

Fortunately, the emperor always pays attention to Liu Shi, he knows that Liu Shi does not belong to any prince, he is just a knife chosen by his sons.Because Liu Shi is fair and never favoritism, and he is not afraid of the powerful, the handle they got to respect the king can only be stabbed in front of the emperor smoothly if they are given to someone like Liu Shi.

Even if the emperor prefers his son, Liu Shi cannot be said to be wrong, because what Liu Shi found out is true and has clear evidence.If King Jing didn't do anything wrong and didn't leave this excuse for others, then no one can do anything to him.He did something wrong, and it fell into the hands of people like Liu Shi, so it can only be said that the law of heaven is clear, and the retribution is not good.

The emperor thought it was good. With this example, next time his sons got the other's handle, I'm afraid it will happen again.Liu Shi can find out the complicated interests of the Lianghuai Salt Field, and other things must be no problem.

With this Liu Shi sitting in the middle of the capital, his sons must think more about the consequences when they do things. They should think about whether it is worthwhile to do such a thing of poaching the corner of the court.It is also a good thing for the court to make his sons more scruples.

Thinking of this, the emperor decreed that Liu Shi and his subordinates had made great contributions in investigating the case, and they were promoted to one level respectively.

Before Liu Sheng got married, both Liu Shi'an and Liu Shi's family moved to a bigger house.Of course, it is different from the big mansions of other dignitaries who often have five or four entrances. Liu Shian and Liu Shi just bought an ordinary three-entry mansion, which is enough for their children and grandchildren to live in.

Liu Sheng was already in his 20s when he passed the Juren examination. At that time, he was still living with his great-grandparents and grandparents in the countryside of Xiahe Village.Because the imperial examination delayed the marriage.There are also scholars in Qinghe County who want to get married, but Liu Shi's grandparents and parents can't agree to it no matter what.

They were frightened by Mrs. Li, because there was a precedent for Mrs. Li's Juren's daughter, and they didn't believe that Mrs. Li in Qinghe County could raise good daughters.I feel that even the village girls in Xiahe Village who know the basics are better than them.

But on the other hand, Liu Shi has already become an official. Although he is not often summoned and rewarded by the emperor like Liu Shi'an, his promotion is also very smooth. He has been promoted to a level in a few years, and he is already considered a mid-level official in Beijing.Liu Sheng worshiped Liu Shi'an as his teacher. He was very knowledgeable and went well in the examination of merits. He was matched with an ordinary village girl. It was not right for her to be in Yemen. Liu Sheng was so wronged.

So even though he was eager to see the fifth generation of Liu's family, Liu Shi's grandparents and parents still dragged Liu Sheng's marriage until he passed the exam and returned to Beijing before considering marriage.Of course, the elders will accompany Liu Ang to test his fame and continue to live in Xiahe Village for a few years.

After Liu Sheng returned to Beijing, Liu Shi also began to think about his marriage.

It's easy to find the right family.But at the beginning, Li Ju's family and Liu Shi'an's family were well-connected, right?It doesn't matter if you get married blindly, but if you meet someone with a bad temper like Li Shi, you will have to deal with it for a lifetime.

Therefore, Liu Shi resorted to means, first circled some well-matched families, and then used puppet particles to observe.Get rid of the ones with bad temperament, or those who are patriarchal in the family so that they are cowardly, and then pick a girl who is quite outstanding.This excellence does not mean appearance, but temperament ability, prudence in doing things, assertiveness and rules.

After all, Liu Sheng is the eldest son, and he will still be the head of the family in the future. If he chooses a daughter-in-law who can take care of things, he will be able to live more easily in the future.

When a well-matched family chooses a son-in-law, of course they are willing to choose Liu Sheng, who has already made a name for himself and has a promising future.The marriage was negotiated quickly and went smoothly.

Considering that young couples always have an independent yard, they can live in it even if they have children in the future.Liu Ang is only a few years younger than Liu Sheng. If he hadn't been preparing for the imperial examination in the countryside, he would be able to talk about marriage now. He will also need an independent courtyard in the future.Liu Shi planned to buy a house and move before Liu Sheng got married.

As for Liu Yu of Liu Shi'an's family, he is still young, but Liu Xiucai and his wife are willing to make plans for him earlier. Besides, their relatives in Beijing are only Liu Shi's family, and they still want to live closer, so they bought a new house nearby and moved in. went in.

Liu Sheng and Liu Ang all studied with Liu Shi'an. Although Liu Shi'an was also busy, after the enlightenment was completed, the students didn't need to be watched by the teacher all the time.It is enough to make a list of books, assign homework, and then take time to comment and teach.

Liu Shi'an also decided that when Liu Yu completed the basic enlightenment, let him worship Liu Shi as his teacher, and let Liu Shi teach him.

Although compared to Liu Shi'an's brilliance, Liu Shi himself is a bit guilty, but he has been an academic officer all his life, Jinshi dare not say that it is no problem to teach a Juren.Liu Shi and Liu Yu also met a lot, so he understood Liu Yu's talent and temperament.

Because of his background, Liu Yu is more sensible and hardworking than Liu Sheng and Liu Ang. Teaching such a student is not a hard job.Besides, Liu Yu's talent is also mediocre, not a genius like Liu Shi'an, so Liu Shi is not guilty of being his teacher, such a student may be more suitable for a gentleman with mediocre talent like him.

Because of the emperor's secret escort and Liu Shi's cheating, Liu Shi has countermeasures against Liu Shi'an and him no matter what methods are used against him. Both Liu Shi'an and Liu Shi's official careers are considered smooth.

Liu Shi'an became the youngest Ge Lao in this dynasty, even though he was the last one in Ge Lao, it was a great achievement.After the new emperor succeeded to the throne, he gradually gained his trust, and held power in both dynasties, from the beginning to the end.

Liu Shi also sat in the position of Minister of Dali Temple, because the emperor trusted Liu Shi, so he didn't move him anymore, but let him sit in this position all the time, in charge of the prison.

The new emperor admired Liu Shi's uprightness when he was still a prince.After he succeeded to the throne, Liu Shi was also placed in the position of Minister of Dali Temple in charge of prison affairs until Liu Shi retired.

And Li Chengsi, the grandson of Lord Zhen Guo, under Liu Shi'an's planning, also became the new emperor's confidant, not only inherited the title of Lord Zhen Guo, but also successfully regained control of the military.The Duke of Zhen's mansion was once again established among the nobles.

Compared with Liu Shi'an and Liu Shi's smooth imperial examinations and official careers, their sons are considered to be mediocre in talent.

Liu Sheng, Liu Ang, and Liu Yu all took the national examination many times, and they did not pass the Jinshi exam until they were in their thirties.

Because the elders of the two families are considered high-ranking officials, after they pass the Jinshi examination, there is no need for them to stay in Beijing to slowly build up their qualifications.After enough experience, when the time is right, I will be transferred to the Sixth Department of Beijing Middle School.When Liu Shi'an and Liu Shi retired, they also took the positions of servants or doctors.

With their talents and abilities, the servants are almost at their limit, and it is very difficult to be the head of a department or a cabinet minister.

But even so, the two new official families are slowly rising.

Liu Shi'an's family has been born weak for generations, even with the help of Liu Shi's spiritual spring, Liu Shi'an's lifespan is not very long.But Li's health is still very good, even if he is old, he will still act in front of his adopted son and daughter-in-law from time to time.It is impossible for Liu Shi'an to leave this trouble to his children and grandchildren, let her become the person with the highest seniority in the family after Liu Shi'an's death, and then harm his family for three generations.When Liu Shi'an felt that his life was coming to an end, he administered a painless poison to Li, who had been working all her life, so that she gradually lost her breath in her sleep.Liu Shian himself died a few days later.

The legend of Liu Xiang, who belonged to a generation of virtuous ministers, has since come to an end.
