The Pearl of the Prosperous Age of Red Mansions
Chapter 86 Being too stubborn
I will let you discipline him well, now let him enjoy the blessings with me, you are busy in the office, you can finally go home to rest, and you still serve me, go back and have a rest, let your wife also serve and serve you. "
Jia Zhu smiled: "Grandson is not tired, besides, I haven't looked at Lan'er yet."
"Yes, yes, why did you forget, go and see Laner, now he is with Baoyu, you always say that Baoyu is ignorant, go and see, this child's temperament can be seen from a young age, some Children from other families can't tolerate people since they were young, and they hate others to be favored better than him. But our Baoyu is different. It seems that we have a nephew, and we like it like something. He will give him any good things. Let’s play, uncle and nephew, two pink balls, it’s very rare to see.” The more Jia Mu talked, the happier she became, with a smile on her face.
Jia Zhu was also very happy when he heard this, and Baoyu was indeed very good about this.
She made Jia's mother very happy, and promised to let him educate Baoyu in the future, and then went to see Jia Lan in the Nuan Pavilion. , Naren Tuoya didn't see it either, Jia Zhu felt strange, at this time a girl with sharp eyes saw Jia Zhu came back, and hurriedly shouted: "Master is back."
This time, Xinlan and Fangcao came in and got busy serving tea and water for Jia Zhu. Seeing that they all came out of the west room, Jia Zhu asked, "What's the matter, Princess?" ?”
"Isn't Brother Cong going to the north? The princess found out and asked Brother Cong what he wanted. Brother Cong was really rude, saying that he didn't have any weapons in his hand, and that there were things in the mansion. It's too light to use his strength, so let the princess give him a spear that is handy."
Jia Zhu laughed when she heard this: "This boy, if he is in love with a weapon, he can just ask his aunt to buy it. This is not an unreasonable request. My aunt will definitely agree to it. Why do you come here to save money?"
Fangcao smiled naively: "Master, you are wrong. Brother Cong didn't like the one in the shop. He never forgets the long gun that the princess gave as a dowry, and he is asking for it today!"
Xin Lan also said: "The princess agreed to give it to him, but this gun is nothing else, except that the red tassels on it are not in shape, and the slaves just re-tasseled the gun, and this gun is too heavy , the five slaves and maidservants did not move, the princess helped to get there, and now the princess thinks tasseling is interesting, so she is still busy there, and the uncle will be back soon."
Jia Zhu nodded, the gun was ready soon, Na Ren Tuoya came in with it, Jia Zhu saw it, no wonder Jia Cong liked it, it looked solid, at night Jia Cong couldn't wait to come over, took the gun in his hand He didn't let go, and went to the yard to practice for Jia Zhu twice. Seeing that he practiced well, Jia Zhu nodded frequently.
This kid, like a tiger, is indeed a general.
After Jia Cong finished practicing, he returned to Jia Zhu with a gun in his hand: "Brother, how are you doing, isn't it good?"
Jia Zhu nodded and said: "To be a great general, it is not enough to kill the enemy in front of the battle, but also to know how to arrange troops and command thousands of troops. Your cousin's husband was born as a bodyguard, and now he has reached the position of a general. Hard work, not only the kung fu of stepping down immediately, but also unique in the art of war, otherwise the emperor would not rest assured that he will take over the position of General Guo, and now there are many veterans in the Dufu Mansion. I threw away my kung fu, so I don’t want to be proud if I ask these people for advice.”
Jia Cong listened attentively, and finally nodded: "Don't worry, brother, I will listen to you."
On the day when Jia Cong left home, even though Mrs. Hu thought clearly, she couldn't hide the tears in her eyes now. Although Jia Cong had made up her mind to leave long ago, looking at her mother, grandmother, and baby sister, There are also a few older brothers with sour noses.
Thousands of reminders and ten thousand instructions, until the last figure was gone, Madam Hu and the others turned back to the mansion, Jia Zhu went to work in the yamen, and just calmed down, she heard a commotion outside the yamen, Jia Zhu ordered someone to go outside to have a look What's going on, before the person reached the door, he saw Gao Wu rushing in from the outside.
"My lord, Master Li from the Wucheng Bingma Division has arrived."
Jia Zhu didn't know what was going on, she got up and went outside to greet each other with Mr. Li, and looked outside again, it was a mess outside, there were several groups of people chaotic, all of them were jealous and thick-necked, some were carrying sticks, There are also unarmed ones. The soldiers of Wucheng Bingmasi seem to be quite considerate and don't dare to take everyone down. They just stop them, but they can't watch the other ones, making this place more lively than Caishikou .
Jia Zhu took a closer look, and among these people, he knew someone else. The gray-clothed middle-aged man who was waving his fist was none other than Director Ning of Duke Feng's Mansion. He didn't know the others, but since Ning The general manager has come forward, so those remaining people are not ordinary people, otherwise they can make the soldiers of Wucheng Bingmasi like this!
Jia Zhu turned her head and asked Master Li: "What's going on here? The noise is turning this place into something. I recognize one of them, Director Ning. Who are the rest?"
Master Li sighed again and again after hearing this: "Master Jia, I can't be so anxious if there is a way, this matter will take a long time to talk about..."
"Don't be in a hurry to make it clear, tell me first, have these people violated the laws of the country?" Jia Zhu interrupted Master Li and asked this first.
Master Li paused for a long time before nodding his head: "No matter what happened before, this street fight has already violated the law."
Jia Zhu nodded: "Okay, come here, put them all under pressure and put them in prison for now!"
Gao Yong and Gao Wu rushed up with the yamen servants, and some of the messy group were naturally dissatisfied, but before they called out, what did Gao Yong and Gao Wu do? When they found the acupuncture points in their hands, they immediately led The people opened their mouths dryly, they couldn't make a sound at all, and the leaders couldn't make a sound. Naturally, their subordinates lost their backbone, and a large group of people were all suppressed by the yamen servants.
The soldiers of Wucheng Bingmasi were relieved, but Master Li was dumbfounded, and said anxiously to Jia Zhu: "I said Master Jia, you, what are you doing, you know who they are! Is it?"
Jia Zhu smiled: "I just said that I recognize Director Ning of Duke Feng's Mansion. I really don't know who the others are."
"Hey! The other two leaders, one is Mr. Feng from Anguo Gong's mansion, and the other is Mr. Ma from the official minister's mansion. You locked them all up. How can you do that!" Master Li sighed. long time.
Jia Zhu frowned: "Why did these three families get together? Don't worry, Mr. Li. Please come to the back. Come and serve tea to Mr. Li. Let's talk slowly."
It's useless for Mr. Li to be anxious now, Jia Zhu who should be offended has been offended, hey, it's Jia Zhu who offended people anyway, and he treats these three living ancestors very politely, In the end, the bad luck would not be his fault, Mr. Li thought so, before stepping into the inner hall, and calmly explained the whole story to Jia Zhu.
Chapter 110 The second chapter is true or false
"Lord Li, what's going on here? How did the three families get into such a mess?" In the inner hall, the servants brought tea and water. Jia Zhu drank a cup of tea with Master Li, which made Master Li gasp. just asked.
Master Li sighed: "Master Jia, this is a long story, do you know that there are two most famous wineries in this capital?"
Jia Zhu nodded. The two most famous wineries in the capital, one is Wenxiangju and the other is Taibaiju.
"Why, could it be that the shop below caused the trouble, and finally got the two princes involved?" This kind of thing is not uncommon. There are few shops in the capital to support the expenses of the mansion, and it is the shop that causes all the government affairs. Disputes are not uncommon, which is also the reason why the Jia family had many scruples when they wanted to open a shop. Jia Zhu naturally thought of this at this time.
"Yes or no, hey, Master Jia must know that today is the day when the third son of the Minister of the Ministry of Officials gets married."
Jia Zhu just remembered, yes, my father even prepared a gift to go to the Minister of the Ministry of Officials to celebrate. Today is a very happy day. Why did the housekeeper of the Minister of the Ministry of Officials get entangled with those two people from the Duke's mansion? went?
"This happy event is not going to happen. Someone died in the Minister of the Ministry of Officials! The thing is like this..." Master Li explained the cause and effect of the incident, and Jia Zhu understood everything.
It turned out that because the Shangshu Mansion wanted to hold wedding banquets and banquets, this wine was indispensable. This time all the wine in the mansion was purchased from Wenxiangju, which is under the family of An Guogong's mansion. The wine was sold the day before the wedding banquet. It was transported into the mansion yesterday, but early this morning, it was discovered that a servant had died suddenly.
Today is a day of great joy, but it turned out that this kind of life-threatening incident happened early in the morning. After investigation by the Minister of the Ministry of Officials, he found out that this person had drunk wine secretly, and he complained of abdominal pain and bled to death from his seven orifices.
The Minister of the Ministry of Officials was furious, and went to Anguogong's mansion to ask the teacher about the crime. Don't you understand that there must be something wrong with the wine!
An Guogong's government investigated this matter, and a staff member of Wenxiangju finally confessed that the shopkeeper of Taibaiju bought him to let him secretly poison him.
At this time, people from the Fashion Book Mansion and the An Guo Gong Mansion all went to Feng Guo Gong's mansion to set up a teacher to question the crime. .
If the words were not speculative, they moved their hands. This happened at the gate of Fengguogong's mansion. The government naturally had the upper hand, and the two families stopped doing it after seeing the loss. Some people rushed back to find someone, but the matter became more and more troublesome, and finally alarmed the soldiers and horses of the five cities.
People from Wucheng Bingmasi arrived, Master Li really had nothing to do, he couldn't afford to offend any of these three families, and another life was killed here, so he pushed the trouble to Jia Zhu's Shuntian Mansion.
Jia Zhu finished listening, and looked at Master Li with a smile: "This matter has become such a mess, can Master Li play the role of the emperor?"
"This..." Master Li's expression froze, "Don't you want to enter the palace with Master Jia to report to the Emperor?"
As soon as Jia Zhu heard it, she felt like a bright mirror in her heart. It was really a good idea for Mr. Li to push the matter to the Shuntian Mansion. He knew in his heart that Mr. Li was clearly going to drag him to the palace to face the emperor. He didn't care too much, because the matter of left and right was also under the jurisdiction of Shuntian Mansion, and it involved a lot, so he couldn't do it if he didn't come forward.
Jia Zhu told his left and right people that he was not in the yamen, and no one was allowed to enter, not even the heavenly king Lao Tzu. He wanted to enter the palace. If someone from these three families came to the yamen to take their people away during this period, it would be a bad thing, although Jia Zhu didn't think they dared to be so ignorant, but it was better to be prepared, and after all the orders were given, Jia Zhu and Master Li rushed to the Forbidden City together.
Jia Zhu was also thinking about something on the way. These two dukes were not idle jobs with titles. An Guogong was the grandfather of the third prince, who is now Prince Ren and Princess Ren, and Feng Guogong was the grandfather of the eleventh prince, who is now the Prince and Princess Li. , The conflict between the two dukes' mansions, the things behind it can be known after thinking about it, it is absolutely not simple.
I just don't know what kind of role the Minister of the Ministry of Officials played in this matter, was he really involved in it as a battlefield, or was he also a helper of one of the two?
Just as they were thinking about it, the two of them went to the imperial study to meet the emperor. Master Li stated the matter again, while Jia Zhu explained some of the previous handling. The emperor's face turned blue after listening.
"Investigate! We must investigate to the end! This matter is fully entrusted to Shuntian Mansion."
Jia Zhu took the order, and Master Li from the Five Cities Military Division secretly breathed a sigh of relief. When Jia Zhu returned to the yamen, the first thing he did was to ask Master Li to help identify the man who claimed to be under the instruction of Feng Guogong. The guy who poisoned his own wine was interrogated. This guy was killed by the Duke of Guo, and he wrote a statement next to it. Jia Zhu asked him to sign it and put him in death row.
"Mr. Zhao, what do you think?" After pushing him down, Jia Zhu read the confession again, and then asked Zhao Ningchuan.
"This kid is dishonest." Zhao Ningchuan nodded slightly, and then said: "However, looking at this kid's strength, it's not easy to pry the truth out of his mouth, and we can't use punishment, otherwise we will end up with a torture. Make trouble."
Jia Zhu nodded. This case seems to be deeply involved, but if you think about it for a while, you can know the truth. Think about the two princes, behind them are the third prince and the eleventh prince. , the third prince naturally declined, and the eleventh prince is the emperor's brother. He has always been kind-tempered and not keen on power. Feng Guogong of the prince's Yue family is now more successful than An Guogong in the court, so why should Feng Guogong compete with An Guogong in a wine shop, and use the most stupid method of poisoning and framing?
However, it is this kind of simple matter that can be seen through at a glance, and because of this guy's insistence, the whole market has fallen into a stalemate. Just like Zhao Ningchuan said, this case cannot be punished, otherwise it will become "the emperor wants to protect the court." The mansion of the Duke of the State was tortured and recruited, and the buddy retracted the confession." Then what will happen to this matter in the end, Jia Zhu weighed it up and made a dilemma in his heart.
"Mr. Zhao, I don't believe that there are people who are not afraid of death. That guy knows that signing a letter will be a death penalty, but he still insists on it like this. I want to see what makes him so fearless. Mr. Zhao, this matter I'll leave it to you." After Jia Zhu finished speaking, Zhao Ningchuan was ordered to investigate everything about this guy thoroughly.
After thinking for a while, Jia Zhu said to the two brothers Gao Yong and Gao Wu, "I want to know, is there any way in this world to pry open a person's mouth without leaving traces on their body?"
How can torture be used? As long as there are no traces, even if the guy yelled out his throat, there is no evidence to prove that he used torture, right?
Gao Yong laughed: "My lord, you are asking this question. Our two brothers can't do anything else. There are many ways to do this. You can leave it to us!"
"Remember, you have to live. If he is really hard-headed, just take it easy and see what results Mr. Zhao can investigate." Jia Zhu ordered to go on, Gao Yong and Gao Wu nodded in response, gearing up to deal with the boy. .
After Jia Zhu was assigned, he ordered people to go to the prison to bring up the housekeeper and servant of the Minister of the Ministry of Officials. It seems that the Minister of the Ministry of Officials is the victim of this incident, but their family can hold both Wenxiangju and Taibaiju. It was smashed, and it violated the law. Since Jia Zhu wanted to make a bad face to the end, even if it was like this, he had to be punished.
Crying father and mother punched the board, the face of the leader sent by the Shangshu Mansion turned purple, and he gave Jia Zhu a hard look, Jia Zhu stared back without showing any weakness, and snorted coldly: "Thirty boards are not enough!" It’s a small punishment, if Mr. Su is still promoted to the Shuntian Mansion, eighty boards will be light!”
When this group of people heard it, okay, I heard that Jia Zhu, who is the most kind-tempered and doesn't get angry easily, is going to be Su Zhengqin's second!The manager went back to add oil and vinegar to learn from the Minister of the Ministry of Officials. When the Minister of the Ministry of Officials saw it, he was also furious. Someone died in his own mansion. He was obviously a victim. So what if the people in his mansion smashed the wine shop? A Jia Zhu is so ruthless!
He patted the table hard: "Wait, I want to see how this yellow-mouthed kid ends this case!"
The Minister of the Ministry of Officials is not stupid to be able to achieve this position. He also recalled it under his anger, suppressed his anger, thought about the twists and turns inside, and thought that he was taken as a raft by others. The Minister of the Ministry of Officials also knew that now It would not be a wise move to embarrass Jia Zhu.
The Minister of the Ministry of Officials thought about it again, and broke out in cold sweat. This case is obviously behind the back of the third prince, but now all the evidence points to the Fengguo Mansion. Once the Fengguo Mansion is finally convicted, the people involved The eleventh prince will also close the door and bring disaster from the sky. Will the emperor be happy? If the emperor gets angry and thinks that he is also in the same party with the third prince, then he will not be able to wash himself away even if he jumps into the Yellow River? !
The Minister of the Ministry of Officials walked back and forth with his hands behind his back, the more he thought about it, the more he couldn't sit still, so he hurriedly sent someone to the Yamen to inquire about the news, and finally called out: "Go and call the young master."
Soon the Eldest Young Master came, the house was noisy these days, and the Eldest Young Master was too busy to stop, so the Minister of the Ministry of Officials asked him to sit down to catch his breath, and asked, "I remember you mentioned that He Rongguo Mansion Jia Lian has some friendship?"
The eldest son nodded: "Jia Lian has an antique shop, which is right next to our dim sum shop. There is a shop next door, so my son and he became acquainted."
The Minister of the Ministry of Officials twisted his beard: "Since that's the case, if you run around the shop these two days, if you see Jia Lian, you should talk to him and mention our family. Tell the truth, don't say anything false." ,Understand?"
Although the eldest son didn't quite understand what his father meant, but since his father gave the order, he could tell that his purpose was not with Jia Lian but with Jia Zhu. He had just seen the steward and servants in the mansion being beaten by Jia Zhu. Banzi, with his father's temper, why did he do this?
Seemingly seeing the eldest son's puzzlement, the Minister of the Ministry of Officials expressed his concerns. The eldest son was quite frightened when he heard it, and nodded repeatedly in response.
Immediately he got up and went to the shop. It happened that Jia Lian was in the antique shop. The eldest son went to talk for a while. When Jia Zhu returned from the yamen in the evening, Jia Lian naturally found Jia Zhu and told the unreasonable words of the eldest son who was the Minister of the Ministry of Officials today. Jia Zhu said it again.
"Brother, the poisoning case in the wine shop is causing a lot of ups and downs in the city. The eldest son of the official secretary told me that he didn't know what the intention was." Jia Lian was also well informed.
Jia Zhu nodded after hearing this: "It's a good thing and not a bad thing, you can rest assured, I will investigate this case to find out the truth!"
Jia Zhu knew the truth in her heart. It seemed that the official minister's family was really involved, not from any particular lineage.
Zhao Ningchuan's investigation of the guy fell into a stalemate. It was found that this guy was fleeing famine in Guangxi five years ago. He was the only one in the family. gambling debts, and nothing else was found.
And this kid is really tough, Gao Yong and Gao Wu didn't dare to kill him too much, the case became more and more difficult to proceed, and An Guogong was still crying in front of the imperial court in the morning, forcing the emperor to have no choice but to give Jia Zhu issued an ultimatum that the case must be solved within a month.
It is impossible for a person to be bribed without a weak point and a sore foot. Now Jia Zhu can't help but wonder if it was really Feng Guogong who did it. Could it be that the eleventh prince has been pretending?
Jia Zhu shook his head, probably not, the eleventh prince is now sick because of this incident, Zhang Youshi broke his pulse himself, he was indeed frightened and angry, and rushed to his heart, and Feng Guogong also swore in the imperial study, absolutely It has nothing to do with him, and the two of them don't seem to be lying.
In addition, the third prince was dishonest in the past, so if he said that he didn't do anything now, he really saw a ghost!
Jia Zhu was a little irritable, and her mind was a little messy. In order to calm down, Jia Zhu began to look through the case records of Su Zhengqin's Shuntian Mansion when he was in office. I am increasing my knowledge by reading Su Zhengqin's case records at that time. Every time I read a book, I can calm my mind, and the same is true for reading the case records.
Because she was upset and couldn't think of the clues of the case, Jia Zhu simply put aside all these cases and used these cases to calm her mind. After watching, Jia Zhu's eyes lit up, and she immediately sent someone to find Zhao Ningchuan.
"Sir, since he escaped from the famine in Guangxi five years ago, we don't know which prefecture or town or county this person is from in Guangxi. Maybe we can find some clues from it."
After hearing this, Zhao Ningchuan nodded and expanded the scope of the investigation, but the clues he got this time were very useful.
"The origin of Chengling County, Guangxi, is also 32 years old, but according to the news I got, this Wang Shun is eight feet tall, red-faced and slender, but this Wang Shun in our death row is different in stature from the news."
"Then, who is this person in the death row?" Jia Zhu became energetic when she heard this.
"It's not easy to find the true identity of a person whose name and surname are fake in the vast crowd, and this person has been pretending to be Wang Shun's name for five years. Check again, I'm afraid there won't be any gains." Zhao Ningchuan was also a little confused, where to find all the clues, not to mention that there is only half a month left before the one-month period set by the emperor, if he hadn't been here A good friend in Guangxi can help with the investigation, and they all use trained flying pigeons to pass the letters. I am afraid that the time for the round trip alone is not enough.
"Mr. is confused. Now we can confirm that the person in this prison is the fake Wang Shun. There are many doubts about his identity. Then we can indirectly reduce the suspicion of Duke Feng. As long as we can continue to lock down Mr. An and Prince Cheng, why don't we start with the two of them? This fake Wang Shun can receive the death penalty, so naturally there is something more important than life in their hands. I don't believe it. They monitor their properties and farms in the capital day and night. No clues can be found from it!" Jia Zhu was confident, and Zhao Ningchuan smiled in relief.
"However, our manpower?"
"Don't worry, I'll move the troops right away." Jia Zhu greeted the emperor first, and then Commander Xiao Ze dispatched all the staff to monitor An Guogong and Prince Cheng, and make sure to report everything in detail. , in this snowflake-like intelligence, there is one thing that is particularly noticeable.
Two months ago, Prince Cheng lived in a pair of grandparents and grandchildren in a small farm in the northern suburbs. The old grandmother was about 60 years old, and the youngest grandson was only six years old. There were many people guarding the small farm. State of house arrest.
After Jia Zhu read the information, she raised her eyebrows and thought about it.
In the Death Row Prison in Shuntian Mansion, the oil lamp flickered in the gloomy cell. The cell was gloomy, and it seemed that there was no popularity at all. It seemed that even the prison boss felt uncomfortable. The two prison bosses warmed a pot of wine while eating Jiucai was still talking.
"Since Mr. Su left, I don't think the capital is peaceful. There were so many troubles in the past. Mr. Jia is still young after all!" The older jailer shook his head while drinking a small wine.
"No, this case is closed right now, and another case has come out, it's really a wave of unrest and another wave!" The younger prison chief echoed in agreement.
"Hey, I just fished out two unknown corpses, one old and one young, from the moat on the outskirts of Beijing. I'll see if anyone comes to recognize their relatives in the past two days. If not, I'll bury them in a random grave and save them. What's the point? It's a turmoil, if Mr. Su is still here, maybe he will file a case for investigation, now Mr. Jia is in a state of desperation with the case of the wine shop, how can you care about such a small case, you will cause trouble." Year The old cell boss didn't think so.
In the death row at this time, the middle-aged man who called himself Wang Shun suddenly opened his eyes.
"Hey, Big Brother Sun, if you don't check, can we just talk? I have been staying at the gate of the yamen for these years. , murder for money?" The young man couldn't help but start talking out of curiosity.
Wang Shun's ears perked up.
Chapter 110 The third round of murder and silence
The two cell bosses chatted while drinking, completely oblivious to the nervous expression on Wang Shun's face who had been lying on the straw like a dead dog, and continued talking about the case to himself.
"Murder for money? My brother, you are too young to understand. What kind of money can this old woman and a child have for money? I think it is probably a vendetta." The old jailer shook his head, drinking and eating appetizers.
The young prison chief nodded: "That's right, hey, the old one will die when he dies, and he can live enough left and right. I glanced at the young one. The kid is quite strong and looks neat, listen to me." Wu Zuo said that this child was only six years old, and he died at such a young age, what a pity!"
The two talked for a while, and then turned to the topic of becoming, but Wang Shunke, who was lying on the straw, couldn't fall asleep. An old woman and a six-year-old child, how could he look like his wife and son? Is it a coincidence?No, no matter how coincidental it is, it can't be such a coincidence. If it's really my mother and son, my lord, my lord, you don't keep your word!
After tossing and turning all night, Wang Shun's eye circles were red the next day and he was quite emaciated. Brothers Gao Yong and Gao Wu came to interrogate him again, and Wang Shun's shaking heart finally made him unable to harden his bones.
"Wang Shun recruited?" Jia Zhu couldn't help being overjoyed when he heard Gao Wu's report. Originally, he thought that if Wang Shun didn't cry when he saw the coffin, he would find these two people to pretend to be the grandparents and wrap them in the coffin. Pretending to be a dead body on the broken straw mat, he walked past Wang Shun unintentionally, but he didn't expect that Wang Shun believed it in just one night.
"Come here, bring Wang Shun to the lobby for interrogation. Mr. Zhao, you take this token to the guard station of Shenjingwei to find Commander Zhao and send troops to surround the farm on the outskirts of Beijing. You must give me the pair of grandparents and grandchildren inside." bring back!"
Ask Gao Wu to escort Mr. Zhao to the Shenjing Guardhouse. The lobby here has been raised, and Wang Shun was interrogated again in front of the hall. Everything has been explained from scratch.
This kid is also surnamed Wang, named Yunhu. Back then, the late emperor made the Northern Expedition to conscript the whole country. Wang Yunhu and Wang Shun were fellow villagers and were conscripted at the same time. As a result, Wang Shun died on the battlefield. Wang Yunhu did not want to fight again, so he pretended to be a As Wang Shun, he wanted to escape by mingling with the dead, but he was discovered by the third prince who was with the army at that time.
With this handle in the hands of the third prince, Wang Yunhu began to work for the third prince, and the third prince also helped him to make the identity seamless, and then let him work in An Guogong's Wenxiangju. This time, the third prince also gave him The order made him insist on planting Taibaiju, and the third prince promised to take good care of his old mother and only son, so he decided to work hard.
Can the deserters who found the battlefield not only know about it but not report it, but also help?If this matter is revealed, Prince Cheng's troubles will be revealed!This unexpected harvest was not expected by Jia Zhu.
With a wave of Jia Zhu's hand, the temporary master had sorted out the confession just now, and handed it over to Wang Shun, who was in the hall, to finish the confession again. At this time, Gao Wu outside the hall had returned, nodded to Jia Zhu, and Jia Zhu immediately understood , So he said to Wang Yunhu in the hall: "Wang Yunhu, look back, who is this person?"
Wang Yunhu looked back in confusion, just for a moment, the boy was stunned here, and a group of people surrounded by a pair of grandparents and grandchildren were walking towards the entrance of the hall. Soft, if it wasn't for someone supporting him, he would have collapsed to the ground long ago. The child was more courageous, but his eyes could see that he was frightened. The child's eyes were sharp, and when he saw Wang Yunhu in the hall, he cried out: " father!"
Wang Yunhu just woke up like a dream, turned his head and yelled at Jia Zhu, gnashing his teeth: "Officer dog, you lied to me!"
There were two "slaps", and the left and right yamen servants stepped forward one by one, making Wang Yunhu's eyes stare. At this moment, his cheeks were just a little red, and it would fade away in a short time, so it didn't bother him.
"Yunhu! Yunhu, Mom almost won't see your face!" The old lady entered the hall at this time, kneeled on the ground as soon as her legs softened, and burst into tears.
A team of yamen servants from behind pushed two men into the courtroom, pushing and shoving. The two boys were quite arrogant and did not kneel. They raised their faces and looked at Jia Zhu. Who are we, we are in charge of the palace, you broke into our prince's house for no reason, and beat the people in the palace, you are a petty crime of death!"
Jia Zhu sneered, and asked Zhao Ningchuan, "Sir, did you gain something again?"
For no reason, it was impossible for Zhao Ningchuan to tie these two boys back together. Sure enough, Zhao Ningchuan nodded and said to Jia Zhu: "My lord, we not only lived up to our trust and brought back the grandparents and grandchildren, but also brought back the two boys at that time." The kid who was trying to kill someone and silence him caught him!"
How could it be such a coincidence?
It turned out that Jia Zhu's side was still not sure about the case, and the yamen was now turned into an iron bucket by Jia Zhu. From the clerks at the yamen's gate to the cell heads, they were all staffed by Jia Zhu and Xiao Ze. He has a tight-lipped tone, and usually turns a blind eye. If someone pays some money to go in and see the prisoner, Jia Zhu, he will acquiesce, and nothing will happen.
But this time Wang Yunhu's case is unusual, outsiders don't want to know about any movement in the prison and at the gate of the yamen. At first, Prince Cheng and An Guogong could sit still, and they just waited for the deadline to come, and they're done.
But people are suspicious, especially those who have a guilty conscience. At first, they thought well, but as the days passed, An Guogong couldn't sit still.
He asked people to inquire about the news, but he would not come if he did not inquire about anything. An Guogong thought that there were two grandparents and grandchildren in Prince Cheng's estate, so he felt that these two people were the key witnesses exposed. I have to say that An Guogong did have an idea. On the way, he found Prince Cheng, and expressed his intention to kill people to silence him in order to prevent future troubles.
If people were killed and buried, there would be no witnesses who could reveal Wang Yunhu's identity at all.
Prince Cheng didn't take it seriously. First of all, how could the people in the yamen know that Wang Shun's real name is Wang Yunhu? Find out the real identity of this Wang Yunhu?And the grandparents are just an ordinary old lady and a little grandson, so what can they reveal.
Prince Cheng disagreed at first, but he couldn't hold back An Guogong, who talked left and right, and finally nodded. The palace sent two stewards to the Zhuangzi to end the grandparents. It happened that Jia Zhu sent Zhao Ningchuan and Gao Wu. Go to Zhao Feng's side to lead people to save them. Just when the knife was lit and ready to strike, Zhao Feng and the others broke in and caught him on the spot.
No matter how violent it is now, it won't be easy to use. With so many people watching, how can it be so easy to deny it?
And Wang Yunhu didn't know what was going on at first, and he was still scolding Jia Zhu for defrauding him. After he heard this, his eyes were about to pop out, what, the prince sent someone to kill his mother and son to silence him!This Wang Yunhu was so angry that his liver and gallbladder were torn apart, what he just explained was not counted, and all the things he knew about Prince Cheng over the years were shaken out.
This time, the matter has gained some unexpected results. Jia Zhu didn't dare to delay, and immediately went to the palace to report to the emperor. This matter involves a lot. All the criminals, including the most involved Prince Cheng and An Guogong, will all be interrogated.
The matter of the joint trial of the three divisions caused a sensation in the entire imperial court. No matter how smart Prince Cheng is, he can't think of any sophistry. Among other things, the fact that Wang Yunhu pretended to be Wang Shun, Wang Yunhu's own existence is an ironclad proof.
In the end, the results of the trial by the third division, all the conclusions made by Jia Zhu before were naturally verified, and more crimes that Wang Yunhu did not know were interrogated from the important stewards of the palace. Your Majesty, these people can only try the case, this prince and the duke, they have neither the power nor the guts to convict them.
The emperor was furious after reading the excerpt. If Prince Cheng was not his real brother, his life would be lost this time. The emperor forced him to
Jia Zhu smiled: "Grandson is not tired, besides, I haven't looked at Lan'er yet."
"Yes, yes, why did you forget, go and see Laner, now he is with Baoyu, you always say that Baoyu is ignorant, go and see, this child's temperament can be seen from a young age, some Children from other families can't tolerate people since they were young, and they hate others to be favored better than him. But our Baoyu is different. It seems that we have a nephew, and we like it like something. He will give him any good things. Let’s play, uncle and nephew, two pink balls, it’s very rare to see.” The more Jia Mu talked, the happier she became, with a smile on her face.
Jia Zhu was also very happy when he heard this, and Baoyu was indeed very good about this.
She made Jia's mother very happy, and promised to let him educate Baoyu in the future, and then went to see Jia Lan in the Nuan Pavilion. , Naren Tuoya didn't see it either, Jia Zhu felt strange, at this time a girl with sharp eyes saw Jia Zhu came back, and hurriedly shouted: "Master is back."
This time, Xinlan and Fangcao came in and got busy serving tea and water for Jia Zhu. Seeing that they all came out of the west room, Jia Zhu asked, "What's the matter, Princess?" ?”
"Isn't Brother Cong going to the north? The princess found out and asked Brother Cong what he wanted. Brother Cong was really rude, saying that he didn't have any weapons in his hand, and that there were things in the mansion. It's too light to use his strength, so let the princess give him a spear that is handy."
Jia Zhu laughed when she heard this: "This boy, if he is in love with a weapon, he can just ask his aunt to buy it. This is not an unreasonable request. My aunt will definitely agree to it. Why do you come here to save money?"
Fangcao smiled naively: "Master, you are wrong. Brother Cong didn't like the one in the shop. He never forgets the long gun that the princess gave as a dowry, and he is asking for it today!"
Xin Lan also said: "The princess agreed to give it to him, but this gun is nothing else, except that the red tassels on it are not in shape, and the slaves just re-tasseled the gun, and this gun is too heavy , the five slaves and maidservants did not move, the princess helped to get there, and now the princess thinks tasseling is interesting, so she is still busy there, and the uncle will be back soon."
Jia Zhu nodded, the gun was ready soon, Na Ren Tuoya came in with it, Jia Zhu saw it, no wonder Jia Cong liked it, it looked solid, at night Jia Cong couldn't wait to come over, took the gun in his hand He didn't let go, and went to the yard to practice for Jia Zhu twice. Seeing that he practiced well, Jia Zhu nodded frequently.
This kid, like a tiger, is indeed a general.
After Jia Cong finished practicing, he returned to Jia Zhu with a gun in his hand: "Brother, how are you doing, isn't it good?"
Jia Zhu nodded and said: "To be a great general, it is not enough to kill the enemy in front of the battle, but also to know how to arrange troops and command thousands of troops. Your cousin's husband was born as a bodyguard, and now he has reached the position of a general. Hard work, not only the kung fu of stepping down immediately, but also unique in the art of war, otherwise the emperor would not rest assured that he will take over the position of General Guo, and now there are many veterans in the Dufu Mansion. I threw away my kung fu, so I don’t want to be proud if I ask these people for advice.”
Jia Cong listened attentively, and finally nodded: "Don't worry, brother, I will listen to you."
On the day when Jia Cong left home, even though Mrs. Hu thought clearly, she couldn't hide the tears in her eyes now. Although Jia Cong had made up her mind to leave long ago, looking at her mother, grandmother, and baby sister, There are also a few older brothers with sour noses.
Thousands of reminders and ten thousand instructions, until the last figure was gone, Madam Hu and the others turned back to the mansion, Jia Zhu went to work in the yamen, and just calmed down, she heard a commotion outside the yamen, Jia Zhu ordered someone to go outside to have a look What's going on, before the person reached the door, he saw Gao Wu rushing in from the outside.
"My lord, Master Li from the Wucheng Bingma Division has arrived."
Jia Zhu didn't know what was going on, she got up and went outside to greet each other with Mr. Li, and looked outside again, it was a mess outside, there were several groups of people chaotic, all of them were jealous and thick-necked, some were carrying sticks, There are also unarmed ones. The soldiers of Wucheng Bingmasi seem to be quite considerate and don't dare to take everyone down. They just stop them, but they can't watch the other ones, making this place more lively than Caishikou .
Jia Zhu took a closer look, and among these people, he knew someone else. The gray-clothed middle-aged man who was waving his fist was none other than Director Ning of Duke Feng's Mansion. He didn't know the others, but since Ning The general manager has come forward, so those remaining people are not ordinary people, otherwise they can make the soldiers of Wucheng Bingmasi like this!
Jia Zhu turned her head and asked Master Li: "What's going on here? The noise is turning this place into something. I recognize one of them, Director Ning. Who are the rest?"
Master Li sighed again and again after hearing this: "Master Jia, I can't be so anxious if there is a way, this matter will take a long time to talk about..."
"Don't be in a hurry to make it clear, tell me first, have these people violated the laws of the country?" Jia Zhu interrupted Master Li and asked this first.
Master Li paused for a long time before nodding his head: "No matter what happened before, this street fight has already violated the law."
Jia Zhu nodded: "Okay, come here, put them all under pressure and put them in prison for now!"
Gao Yong and Gao Wu rushed up with the yamen servants, and some of the messy group were naturally dissatisfied, but before they called out, what did Gao Yong and Gao Wu do? When they found the acupuncture points in their hands, they immediately led The people opened their mouths dryly, they couldn't make a sound at all, and the leaders couldn't make a sound. Naturally, their subordinates lost their backbone, and a large group of people were all suppressed by the yamen servants.
The soldiers of Wucheng Bingmasi were relieved, but Master Li was dumbfounded, and said anxiously to Jia Zhu: "I said Master Jia, you, what are you doing, you know who they are! Is it?"
Jia Zhu smiled: "I just said that I recognize Director Ning of Duke Feng's Mansion. I really don't know who the others are."
"Hey! The other two leaders, one is Mr. Feng from Anguo Gong's mansion, and the other is Mr. Ma from the official minister's mansion. You locked them all up. How can you do that!" Master Li sighed. long time.
Jia Zhu frowned: "Why did these three families get together? Don't worry, Mr. Li. Please come to the back. Come and serve tea to Mr. Li. Let's talk slowly."
It's useless for Mr. Li to be anxious now, Jia Zhu who should be offended has been offended, hey, it's Jia Zhu who offended people anyway, and he treats these three living ancestors very politely, In the end, the bad luck would not be his fault, Mr. Li thought so, before stepping into the inner hall, and calmly explained the whole story to Jia Zhu.
Chapter 110 The second chapter is true or false
"Lord Li, what's going on here? How did the three families get into such a mess?" In the inner hall, the servants brought tea and water. Jia Zhu drank a cup of tea with Master Li, which made Master Li gasp. just asked.
Master Li sighed: "Master Jia, this is a long story, do you know that there are two most famous wineries in this capital?"
Jia Zhu nodded. The two most famous wineries in the capital, one is Wenxiangju and the other is Taibaiju.
"Why, could it be that the shop below caused the trouble, and finally got the two princes involved?" This kind of thing is not uncommon. There are few shops in the capital to support the expenses of the mansion, and it is the shop that causes all the government affairs. Disputes are not uncommon, which is also the reason why the Jia family had many scruples when they wanted to open a shop. Jia Zhu naturally thought of this at this time.
"Yes or no, hey, Master Jia must know that today is the day when the third son of the Minister of the Ministry of Officials gets married."
Jia Zhu just remembered, yes, my father even prepared a gift to go to the Minister of the Ministry of Officials to celebrate. Today is a very happy day. Why did the housekeeper of the Minister of the Ministry of Officials get entangled with those two people from the Duke's mansion? went?
"This happy event is not going to happen. Someone died in the Minister of the Ministry of Officials! The thing is like this..." Master Li explained the cause and effect of the incident, and Jia Zhu understood everything.
It turned out that because the Shangshu Mansion wanted to hold wedding banquets and banquets, this wine was indispensable. This time all the wine in the mansion was purchased from Wenxiangju, which is under the family of An Guogong's mansion. The wine was sold the day before the wedding banquet. It was transported into the mansion yesterday, but early this morning, it was discovered that a servant had died suddenly.
Today is a day of great joy, but it turned out that this kind of life-threatening incident happened early in the morning. After investigation by the Minister of the Ministry of Officials, he found out that this person had drunk wine secretly, and he complained of abdominal pain and bled to death from his seven orifices.
The Minister of the Ministry of Officials was furious, and went to Anguogong's mansion to ask the teacher about the crime. Don't you understand that there must be something wrong with the wine!
An Guogong's government investigated this matter, and a staff member of Wenxiangju finally confessed that the shopkeeper of Taibaiju bought him to let him secretly poison him.
At this time, people from the Fashion Book Mansion and the An Guo Gong Mansion all went to Feng Guo Gong's mansion to set up a teacher to question the crime. .
If the words were not speculative, they moved their hands. This happened at the gate of Fengguogong's mansion. The government naturally had the upper hand, and the two families stopped doing it after seeing the loss. Some people rushed back to find someone, but the matter became more and more troublesome, and finally alarmed the soldiers and horses of the five cities.
People from Wucheng Bingmasi arrived, Master Li really had nothing to do, he couldn't afford to offend any of these three families, and another life was killed here, so he pushed the trouble to Jia Zhu's Shuntian Mansion.
Jia Zhu finished listening, and looked at Master Li with a smile: "This matter has become such a mess, can Master Li play the role of the emperor?"
"This..." Master Li's expression froze, "Don't you want to enter the palace with Master Jia to report to the Emperor?"
As soon as Jia Zhu heard it, she felt like a bright mirror in her heart. It was really a good idea for Mr. Li to push the matter to the Shuntian Mansion. He knew in his heart that Mr. Li was clearly going to drag him to the palace to face the emperor. He didn't care too much, because the matter of left and right was also under the jurisdiction of Shuntian Mansion, and it involved a lot, so he couldn't do it if he didn't come forward.
Jia Zhu told his left and right people that he was not in the yamen, and no one was allowed to enter, not even the heavenly king Lao Tzu. He wanted to enter the palace. If someone from these three families came to the yamen to take their people away during this period, it would be a bad thing, although Jia Zhu didn't think they dared to be so ignorant, but it was better to be prepared, and after all the orders were given, Jia Zhu and Master Li rushed to the Forbidden City together.
Jia Zhu was also thinking about something on the way. These two dukes were not idle jobs with titles. An Guogong was the grandfather of the third prince, who is now Prince Ren and Princess Ren, and Feng Guogong was the grandfather of the eleventh prince, who is now the Prince and Princess Li. , The conflict between the two dukes' mansions, the things behind it can be known after thinking about it, it is absolutely not simple.
I just don't know what kind of role the Minister of the Ministry of Officials played in this matter, was he really involved in it as a battlefield, or was he also a helper of one of the two?
Just as they were thinking about it, the two of them went to the imperial study to meet the emperor. Master Li stated the matter again, while Jia Zhu explained some of the previous handling. The emperor's face turned blue after listening.
"Investigate! We must investigate to the end! This matter is fully entrusted to Shuntian Mansion."
Jia Zhu took the order, and Master Li from the Five Cities Military Division secretly breathed a sigh of relief. When Jia Zhu returned to the yamen, the first thing he did was to ask Master Li to help identify the man who claimed to be under the instruction of Feng Guogong. The guy who poisoned his own wine was interrogated. This guy was killed by the Duke of Guo, and he wrote a statement next to it. Jia Zhu asked him to sign it and put him in death row.
"Mr. Zhao, what do you think?" After pushing him down, Jia Zhu read the confession again, and then asked Zhao Ningchuan.
"This kid is dishonest." Zhao Ningchuan nodded slightly, and then said: "However, looking at this kid's strength, it's not easy to pry the truth out of his mouth, and we can't use punishment, otherwise we will end up with a torture. Make trouble."
Jia Zhu nodded. This case seems to be deeply involved, but if you think about it for a while, you can know the truth. Think about the two princes, behind them are the third prince and the eleventh prince. , the third prince naturally declined, and the eleventh prince is the emperor's brother. He has always been kind-tempered and not keen on power. Feng Guogong of the prince's Yue family is now more successful than An Guogong in the court, so why should Feng Guogong compete with An Guogong in a wine shop, and use the most stupid method of poisoning and framing?
However, it is this kind of simple matter that can be seen through at a glance, and because of this guy's insistence, the whole market has fallen into a stalemate. Just like Zhao Ningchuan said, this case cannot be punished, otherwise it will become "the emperor wants to protect the court." The mansion of the Duke of the State was tortured and recruited, and the buddy retracted the confession." Then what will happen to this matter in the end, Jia Zhu weighed it up and made a dilemma in his heart.
"Mr. Zhao, I don't believe that there are people who are not afraid of death. That guy knows that signing a letter will be a death penalty, but he still insists on it like this. I want to see what makes him so fearless. Mr. Zhao, this matter I'll leave it to you." After Jia Zhu finished speaking, Zhao Ningchuan was ordered to investigate everything about this guy thoroughly.
After thinking for a while, Jia Zhu said to the two brothers Gao Yong and Gao Wu, "I want to know, is there any way in this world to pry open a person's mouth without leaving traces on their body?"
How can torture be used? As long as there are no traces, even if the guy yelled out his throat, there is no evidence to prove that he used torture, right?
Gao Yong laughed: "My lord, you are asking this question. Our two brothers can't do anything else. There are many ways to do this. You can leave it to us!"
"Remember, you have to live. If he is really hard-headed, just take it easy and see what results Mr. Zhao can investigate." Jia Zhu ordered to go on, Gao Yong and Gao Wu nodded in response, gearing up to deal with the boy. .
After Jia Zhu was assigned, he ordered people to go to the prison to bring up the housekeeper and servant of the Minister of the Ministry of Officials. It seems that the Minister of the Ministry of Officials is the victim of this incident, but their family can hold both Wenxiangju and Taibaiju. It was smashed, and it violated the law. Since Jia Zhu wanted to make a bad face to the end, even if it was like this, he had to be punished.
Crying father and mother punched the board, the face of the leader sent by the Shangshu Mansion turned purple, and he gave Jia Zhu a hard look, Jia Zhu stared back without showing any weakness, and snorted coldly: "Thirty boards are not enough!" It’s a small punishment, if Mr. Su is still promoted to the Shuntian Mansion, eighty boards will be light!”
When this group of people heard it, okay, I heard that Jia Zhu, who is the most kind-tempered and doesn't get angry easily, is going to be Su Zhengqin's second!The manager went back to add oil and vinegar to learn from the Minister of the Ministry of Officials. When the Minister of the Ministry of Officials saw it, he was also furious. Someone died in his own mansion. He was obviously a victim. So what if the people in his mansion smashed the wine shop? A Jia Zhu is so ruthless!
He patted the table hard: "Wait, I want to see how this yellow-mouthed kid ends this case!"
The Minister of the Ministry of Officials is not stupid to be able to achieve this position. He also recalled it under his anger, suppressed his anger, thought about the twists and turns inside, and thought that he was taken as a raft by others. The Minister of the Ministry of Officials also knew that now It would not be a wise move to embarrass Jia Zhu.
The Minister of the Ministry of Officials thought about it again, and broke out in cold sweat. This case is obviously behind the back of the third prince, but now all the evidence points to the Fengguo Mansion. Once the Fengguo Mansion is finally convicted, the people involved The eleventh prince will also close the door and bring disaster from the sky. Will the emperor be happy? If the emperor gets angry and thinks that he is also in the same party with the third prince, then he will not be able to wash himself away even if he jumps into the Yellow River? !
The Minister of the Ministry of Officials walked back and forth with his hands behind his back, the more he thought about it, the more he couldn't sit still, so he hurriedly sent someone to the Yamen to inquire about the news, and finally called out: "Go and call the young master."
Soon the Eldest Young Master came, the house was noisy these days, and the Eldest Young Master was too busy to stop, so the Minister of the Ministry of Officials asked him to sit down to catch his breath, and asked, "I remember you mentioned that He Rongguo Mansion Jia Lian has some friendship?"
The eldest son nodded: "Jia Lian has an antique shop, which is right next to our dim sum shop. There is a shop next door, so my son and he became acquainted."
The Minister of the Ministry of Officials twisted his beard: "Since that's the case, if you run around the shop these two days, if you see Jia Lian, you should talk to him and mention our family. Tell the truth, don't say anything false." ,Understand?"
Although the eldest son didn't quite understand what his father meant, but since his father gave the order, he could tell that his purpose was not with Jia Lian but with Jia Zhu. He had just seen the steward and servants in the mansion being beaten by Jia Zhu. Banzi, with his father's temper, why did he do this?
Seemingly seeing the eldest son's puzzlement, the Minister of the Ministry of Officials expressed his concerns. The eldest son was quite frightened when he heard it, and nodded repeatedly in response.
Immediately he got up and went to the shop. It happened that Jia Lian was in the antique shop. The eldest son went to talk for a while. When Jia Zhu returned from the yamen in the evening, Jia Lian naturally found Jia Zhu and told the unreasonable words of the eldest son who was the Minister of the Ministry of Officials today. Jia Zhu said it again.
"Brother, the poisoning case in the wine shop is causing a lot of ups and downs in the city. The eldest son of the official secretary told me that he didn't know what the intention was." Jia Lian was also well informed.
Jia Zhu nodded after hearing this: "It's a good thing and not a bad thing, you can rest assured, I will investigate this case to find out the truth!"
Jia Zhu knew the truth in her heart. It seemed that the official minister's family was really involved, not from any particular lineage.
Zhao Ningchuan's investigation of the guy fell into a stalemate. It was found that this guy was fleeing famine in Guangxi five years ago. He was the only one in the family. gambling debts, and nothing else was found.
And this kid is really tough, Gao Yong and Gao Wu didn't dare to kill him too much, the case became more and more difficult to proceed, and An Guogong was still crying in front of the imperial court in the morning, forcing the emperor to have no choice but to give Jia Zhu issued an ultimatum that the case must be solved within a month.
It is impossible for a person to be bribed without a weak point and a sore foot. Now Jia Zhu can't help but wonder if it was really Feng Guogong who did it. Could it be that the eleventh prince has been pretending?
Jia Zhu shook his head, probably not, the eleventh prince is now sick because of this incident, Zhang Youshi broke his pulse himself, he was indeed frightened and angry, and rushed to his heart, and Feng Guogong also swore in the imperial study, absolutely It has nothing to do with him, and the two of them don't seem to be lying.
In addition, the third prince was dishonest in the past, so if he said that he didn't do anything now, he really saw a ghost!
Jia Zhu was a little irritable, and her mind was a little messy. In order to calm down, Jia Zhu began to look through the case records of Su Zhengqin's Shuntian Mansion when he was in office. I am increasing my knowledge by reading Su Zhengqin's case records at that time. Every time I read a book, I can calm my mind, and the same is true for reading the case records.
Because she was upset and couldn't think of the clues of the case, Jia Zhu simply put aside all these cases and used these cases to calm her mind. After watching, Jia Zhu's eyes lit up, and she immediately sent someone to find Zhao Ningchuan.
"Sir, since he escaped from the famine in Guangxi five years ago, we don't know which prefecture or town or county this person is from in Guangxi. Maybe we can find some clues from it."
After hearing this, Zhao Ningchuan nodded and expanded the scope of the investigation, but the clues he got this time were very useful.
"The origin of Chengling County, Guangxi, is also 32 years old, but according to the news I got, this Wang Shun is eight feet tall, red-faced and slender, but this Wang Shun in our death row is different in stature from the news."
"Then, who is this person in the death row?" Jia Zhu became energetic when she heard this.
"It's not easy to find the true identity of a person whose name and surname are fake in the vast crowd, and this person has been pretending to be Wang Shun's name for five years. Check again, I'm afraid there won't be any gains." Zhao Ningchuan was also a little confused, where to find all the clues, not to mention that there is only half a month left before the one-month period set by the emperor, if he hadn't been here A good friend in Guangxi can help with the investigation, and they all use trained flying pigeons to pass the letters. I am afraid that the time for the round trip alone is not enough.
"Mr. is confused. Now we can confirm that the person in this prison is the fake Wang Shun. There are many doubts about his identity. Then we can indirectly reduce the suspicion of Duke Feng. As long as we can continue to lock down Mr. An and Prince Cheng, why don't we start with the two of them? This fake Wang Shun can receive the death penalty, so naturally there is something more important than life in their hands. I don't believe it. They monitor their properties and farms in the capital day and night. No clues can be found from it!" Jia Zhu was confident, and Zhao Ningchuan smiled in relief.
"However, our manpower?"
"Don't worry, I'll move the troops right away." Jia Zhu greeted the emperor first, and then Commander Xiao Ze dispatched all the staff to monitor An Guogong and Prince Cheng, and make sure to report everything in detail. , in this snowflake-like intelligence, there is one thing that is particularly noticeable.
Two months ago, Prince Cheng lived in a pair of grandparents and grandchildren in a small farm in the northern suburbs. The old grandmother was about 60 years old, and the youngest grandson was only six years old. There were many people guarding the small farm. State of house arrest.
After Jia Zhu read the information, she raised her eyebrows and thought about it.
In the Death Row Prison in Shuntian Mansion, the oil lamp flickered in the gloomy cell. The cell was gloomy, and it seemed that there was no popularity at all. It seemed that even the prison boss felt uncomfortable. The two prison bosses warmed a pot of wine while eating Jiucai was still talking.
"Since Mr. Su left, I don't think the capital is peaceful. There were so many troubles in the past. Mr. Jia is still young after all!" The older jailer shook his head while drinking a small wine.
"No, this case is closed right now, and another case has come out, it's really a wave of unrest and another wave!" The younger prison chief echoed in agreement.
"Hey, I just fished out two unknown corpses, one old and one young, from the moat on the outskirts of Beijing. I'll see if anyone comes to recognize their relatives in the past two days. If not, I'll bury them in a random grave and save them. What's the point? It's a turmoil, if Mr. Su is still here, maybe he will file a case for investigation, now Mr. Jia is in a state of desperation with the case of the wine shop, how can you care about such a small case, you will cause trouble." Year The old cell boss didn't think so.
In the death row at this time, the middle-aged man who called himself Wang Shun suddenly opened his eyes.
"Hey, Big Brother Sun, if you don't check, can we just talk? I have been staying at the gate of the yamen for these years. , murder for money?" The young man couldn't help but start talking out of curiosity.
Wang Shun's ears perked up.
Chapter 110 The third round of murder and silence
The two cell bosses chatted while drinking, completely oblivious to the nervous expression on Wang Shun's face who had been lying on the straw like a dead dog, and continued talking about the case to himself.
"Murder for money? My brother, you are too young to understand. What kind of money can this old woman and a child have for money? I think it is probably a vendetta." The old jailer shook his head, drinking and eating appetizers.
The young prison chief nodded: "That's right, hey, the old one will die when he dies, and he can live enough left and right. I glanced at the young one. The kid is quite strong and looks neat, listen to me." Wu Zuo said that this child was only six years old, and he died at such a young age, what a pity!"
The two talked for a while, and then turned to the topic of becoming, but Wang Shunke, who was lying on the straw, couldn't fall asleep. An old woman and a six-year-old child, how could he look like his wife and son? Is it a coincidence?No, no matter how coincidental it is, it can't be such a coincidence. If it's really my mother and son, my lord, my lord, you don't keep your word!
After tossing and turning all night, Wang Shun's eye circles were red the next day and he was quite emaciated. Brothers Gao Yong and Gao Wu came to interrogate him again, and Wang Shun's shaking heart finally made him unable to harden his bones.
"Wang Shun recruited?" Jia Zhu couldn't help being overjoyed when he heard Gao Wu's report. Originally, he thought that if Wang Shun didn't cry when he saw the coffin, he would find these two people to pretend to be the grandparents and wrap them in the coffin. Pretending to be a dead body on the broken straw mat, he walked past Wang Shun unintentionally, but he didn't expect that Wang Shun believed it in just one night.
"Come here, bring Wang Shun to the lobby for interrogation. Mr. Zhao, you take this token to the guard station of Shenjingwei to find Commander Zhao and send troops to surround the farm on the outskirts of Beijing. You must give me the pair of grandparents and grandchildren inside." bring back!"
Ask Gao Wu to escort Mr. Zhao to the Shenjing Guardhouse. The lobby here has been raised, and Wang Shun was interrogated again in front of the hall. Everything has been explained from scratch.
This kid is also surnamed Wang, named Yunhu. Back then, the late emperor made the Northern Expedition to conscript the whole country. Wang Yunhu and Wang Shun were fellow villagers and were conscripted at the same time. As a result, Wang Shun died on the battlefield. Wang Yunhu did not want to fight again, so he pretended to be a As Wang Shun, he wanted to escape by mingling with the dead, but he was discovered by the third prince who was with the army at that time.
With this handle in the hands of the third prince, Wang Yunhu began to work for the third prince, and the third prince also helped him to make the identity seamless, and then let him work in An Guogong's Wenxiangju. This time, the third prince also gave him The order made him insist on planting Taibaiju, and the third prince promised to take good care of his old mother and only son, so he decided to work hard.
Can the deserters who found the battlefield not only know about it but not report it, but also help?If this matter is revealed, Prince Cheng's troubles will be revealed!This unexpected harvest was not expected by Jia Zhu.
With a wave of Jia Zhu's hand, the temporary master had sorted out the confession just now, and handed it over to Wang Shun, who was in the hall, to finish the confession again. At this time, Gao Wu outside the hall had returned, nodded to Jia Zhu, and Jia Zhu immediately understood , So he said to Wang Yunhu in the hall: "Wang Yunhu, look back, who is this person?"
Wang Yunhu looked back in confusion, just for a moment, the boy was stunned here, and a group of people surrounded by a pair of grandparents and grandchildren were walking towards the entrance of the hall. Soft, if it wasn't for someone supporting him, he would have collapsed to the ground long ago. The child was more courageous, but his eyes could see that he was frightened. The child's eyes were sharp, and when he saw Wang Yunhu in the hall, he cried out: " father!"
Wang Yunhu just woke up like a dream, turned his head and yelled at Jia Zhu, gnashing his teeth: "Officer dog, you lied to me!"
There were two "slaps", and the left and right yamen servants stepped forward one by one, making Wang Yunhu's eyes stare. At this moment, his cheeks were just a little red, and it would fade away in a short time, so it didn't bother him.
"Yunhu! Yunhu, Mom almost won't see your face!" The old lady entered the hall at this time, kneeled on the ground as soon as her legs softened, and burst into tears.
A team of yamen servants from behind pushed two men into the courtroom, pushing and shoving. The two boys were quite arrogant and did not kneel. They raised their faces and looked at Jia Zhu. Who are we, we are in charge of the palace, you broke into our prince's house for no reason, and beat the people in the palace, you are a petty crime of death!"
Jia Zhu sneered, and asked Zhao Ningchuan, "Sir, did you gain something again?"
For no reason, it was impossible for Zhao Ningchuan to tie these two boys back together. Sure enough, Zhao Ningchuan nodded and said to Jia Zhu: "My lord, we not only lived up to our trust and brought back the grandparents and grandchildren, but also brought back the two boys at that time." The kid who was trying to kill someone and silence him caught him!"
How could it be such a coincidence?
It turned out that Jia Zhu's side was still not sure about the case, and the yamen was now turned into an iron bucket by Jia Zhu. From the clerks at the yamen's gate to the cell heads, they were all staffed by Jia Zhu and Xiao Ze. He has a tight-lipped tone, and usually turns a blind eye. If someone pays some money to go in and see the prisoner, Jia Zhu, he will acquiesce, and nothing will happen.
But this time Wang Yunhu's case is unusual, outsiders don't want to know about any movement in the prison and at the gate of the yamen. At first, Prince Cheng and An Guogong could sit still, and they just waited for the deadline to come, and they're done.
But people are suspicious, especially those who have a guilty conscience. At first, they thought well, but as the days passed, An Guogong couldn't sit still.
He asked people to inquire about the news, but he would not come if he did not inquire about anything. An Guogong thought that there were two grandparents and grandchildren in Prince Cheng's estate, so he felt that these two people were the key witnesses exposed. I have to say that An Guogong did have an idea. On the way, he found Prince Cheng, and expressed his intention to kill people to silence him in order to prevent future troubles.
If people were killed and buried, there would be no witnesses who could reveal Wang Yunhu's identity at all.
Prince Cheng didn't take it seriously. First of all, how could the people in the yamen know that Wang Shun's real name is Wang Yunhu? Find out the real identity of this Wang Yunhu?And the grandparents are just an ordinary old lady and a little grandson, so what can they reveal.
Prince Cheng disagreed at first, but he couldn't hold back An Guogong, who talked left and right, and finally nodded. The palace sent two stewards to the Zhuangzi to end the grandparents. It happened that Jia Zhu sent Zhao Ningchuan and Gao Wu. Go to Zhao Feng's side to lead people to save them. Just when the knife was lit and ready to strike, Zhao Feng and the others broke in and caught him on the spot.
No matter how violent it is now, it won't be easy to use. With so many people watching, how can it be so easy to deny it?
And Wang Yunhu didn't know what was going on at first, and he was still scolding Jia Zhu for defrauding him. After he heard this, his eyes were about to pop out, what, the prince sent someone to kill his mother and son to silence him!This Wang Yunhu was so angry that his liver and gallbladder were torn apart, what he just explained was not counted, and all the things he knew about Prince Cheng over the years were shaken out.
This time, the matter has gained some unexpected results. Jia Zhu didn't dare to delay, and immediately went to the palace to report to the emperor. This matter involves a lot. All the criminals, including the most involved Prince Cheng and An Guogong, will all be interrogated.
The matter of the joint trial of the three divisions caused a sensation in the entire imperial court. No matter how smart Prince Cheng is, he can't think of any sophistry. Among other things, the fact that Wang Yunhu pretended to be Wang Shun, Wang Yunhu's own existence is an ironclad proof.
In the end, the results of the trial by the third division, all the conclusions made by Jia Zhu before were naturally verified, and more crimes that Wang Yunhu did not know were interrogated from the important stewards of the palace. Your Majesty, these people can only try the case, this prince and the duke, they have neither the power nor the guts to convict them.
The emperor was furious after reading the excerpt. If Prince Cheng was not his real brother, his life would be lost this time. The emperor forced him to
