Self-help guide for non-professional young masters

When Shen Ci brought the Jiangling prefect and people from the government office, the murderer had already been subdued, and the rest of the mourners ran away because they saw the fraudulent corpse, and lost all the sacrifices and paperwork, even the coffin. Never mind.

Steward Liu's cheeks and the corners of his mouth were bruised from the beating, and he carefully pressed the wound on Xiao Beicheng's head with a veil, but unfortunately he couldn't stop the bleeding, and the veil was soaked.

Seeing that he finally came, Steward Liu gritted his teeth and said, "Hurry up and help the prince up, you blind brat!"

Shen Ci didn't know what he did wrong, he followed up with aggrieved, and wanted to help Xiao Beicheng stand up with his hands.

But when he saw the unconscious person in his arms, Shen Ci suddenly froze, swallowed, rubbed his eyes again, and asked blankly: "Yes... did I read it wrong?"

To this, Steward Liu could only respond with a long sigh.

Everyone knew nothing about why Jun Ziyou came back from the dead, why he ended up in this humble town, and why he became a bride in someone else's shady marriage. Among them, Steward Liu was the one who suffered the most.After all, three years ago, he watched Jun Ziyou being burned in the raging fire and turned into a pile of ashes. Now that this person came back alive, right in front of him, how could it not make people collapse?

With the help of the Jiangling prefect, the three injured people were temporarily placed in the post house. When the doctor treated the injuries, the prefect was about to kneel in front of Steward Liu to apologize.

"It's really unpredictable what happened in Jiangling. It's definitely not our intention to frame the prince. Although you are also injured, it is not appropriate to say such words, but... I still ask you to help me to speak well in front of the prince. In other words, let him calm down, don't punish the subordinate for the crime of ineffective supervision..."

Steward Liu was not an official of the imperial court, so it was a bit embarrassing to hear him say this, but compared to the fact that Jiangling still had the bad habits of shady marriages, he was more curious about why Junziyou appeared here.

When the doctor was treating his injury, he gritted his teeth and asked, "Have you seen the man brought back by the prince, who is wearing a wedding dress, looks almost dead, and looks good. "

"This... I've never seen it before. But for a ghost marriage, it's not easy to find a dead person of the same family and about the same age, and sometimes they will come from other places..."

"You fart! People would be buried alive before they died. If the prince hadn't happened to find out, he would be dead now!!"

Steward Liu hammered the table and felt pain, only to realize that the joints of his hands were scratched, so he could only suppress the anger in his heart, and restrained himself from hitting people.

"Besides, shady marriages are also strictly prohibited by the imperial court."

The prefect of Jiangling looked helpless, "You don't know something, our village is remote, the mountains are high and the emperor is far away, the rich and powerful are the earth emperors, and those who are worthy of a ghost marriage must have a lot of family background, and the government can't speak hard. ah……"

"Idiots! What use are you for! You know how to break the law without discipline, do you know how big a crime it is!"

"This... the lower official took care of this matter when he first took office, but those rich masters stood up and said that even if they did this in violation of the law, the court can't take care of the dead. The big deal is to pay compensation according to the regulations. The lower officials really can't control it. Besides, it's already miserable to hold funerals in other people's homes, so how can the government intervene?"

Before Steward Liu could swear, he saw the door of the inner room was pushed open, and Shen Ci stood by the door and waved to them, asking them to come in and have a talk.

It was only with suppressing his anger that he restrained the urge to go up and kick this trash, and stood up angrily, feeling that he had lowered his status even by staying by his side for a moment longer.

After entering the door, Shen Ci moved a chair for Steward Liu very considerately, and sat at the end of the bed, close to Xiao Beicheng, so he could clearly see the hands tightly held by the person on the bed.

At this moment, Xiao Beicheng's injuries have been treated, his head is wrapped with a bandage, he looks a little downcast, he has no energy, his speech is weak, and he looks very tired.

He glanced at the trembling Jiangling prefect, asked Shen Ci to give him a seat, and asked, "What's your name?"

The eunuch just sat down, and got up again to bow his head and bow to others, "Go back to the lord, the next official heard about Chu, and served as the eunuch of Jiangling, what happened today..."

"What to ask and what to answer, you don't have to explain yourself if the king didn't mention it."

"Yes……"

Xiao Beicheng stroked the back of Junzi You's cold hand, looked at the doctor who was treating him with worry, and asked, "How's the situation?"

The doctor pursed his lips, with a bitter expression on his face, "This... I am so ignorant that I have concluded that this person is suffering from asthma, but I don't know the reason why he is so sleepy, so I dare not talk nonsense and kill him. Or, my lord Would you please Gao Ming?"

Asthma... This confirmed the inferences in everyone's minds. Sure enough, the half-dead man in front of him was Gusu Junziyou who died of illness in Chang'an that year.

Xiao Beicheng nodded without much reaction, turned around and said to Shen Ci: "Let's go back to the capital and invite Doctor Jiang."

"Can……"

"Regardless of his original purpose for making Junziyou fake his death, his ability to diagnose diseases is worthy of the name, and this king trusts him."

When it came to this point, it was hard for Shen Ci to refuse, so he hurried back to the capital that day to bring back the only person who could tell the truth.

As for Jiangling, the doctor first hanged Jun Ziyou with medicine to confirm that he was fine, and then Xiao Beicheng continued to interrogate Wen Chu, who was already drenched in sweat.

"Is the bad habit of Yin marriage in Jiangling left over from ancient times?"

"Back to the lord, it shouldn't be counted. After the former government strictly prohibited ghost marriages, the local government in Jiangling has very strong enforcement power. In addition to fines for those who illegally married ghost marriages, those who advocated this matter will also be sentenced to three to three years. The prison term varies from five years, so no one dares. Maybe the management was too good at that time, and the court gradually ignored this matter. I don’t know when this custom will come back. It will be difficult for us to control it. gone."

"That is to say, there was a gap between the two dynasties. During this period, it can be said that there were basically no yin marriages."

"Yes, yes, it only started a few years ago. The government has repeatedly banned it, and it has been suppressed by the big family. There is no way but to tolerate it."

Steward Liu couldn't help but want to curse when he heard this, Xiao Beicheng waved his hand to stop him, and advised him not to be too impatient, and by the way, he hugged Xiao Hei, who was sleeping at Junzi You's feet, into his arms, so as to silence him.

"In this kind of small town, rich and powerful families control the lifeline of the economy. Taxes are not paid for several years, and the government has nothing to do. This king can understand it. It is shocking to be able to die alive, and it is repeatedly prohibited. It is true. People are angry. This matter must be thoroughly investigated, and this king should take a good look at who has the courage to rob someone from the king of Hades."

After finishing the order, Wen Chu went to do it, and he was obviously relieved when he went out. He secretly rejoiced that King Jin was a good talker, and he was a very reasonable person who scolded him without asking indiscriminately.

But Steward Liu, who had been tricked for three years, was unavoidably annoyed, and he couldn't get angry in front of Xiao Beicheng, so he just asked, "My lord, aren't you angry at all?"

"They disregarded the court's laws and treated human life as a trifling matter. Of course, this king is angry. But what's the use of being angry, you have to find out the truth and find out who is behind the scenes so that more people don't suffer. Is this hard to understand?"

"You know I don't mean that."

Xiao Beicheng smiled and shook his head.

He just shook his head without saying a word.

Butler Liu understood that it was too late for him to be happy when he found it again...at least until he woke up from the dream, he would not delve into the reason.

Thinking of this, he went out wisely, asked the servant girl to bring some snacks in, and sat on the stairs outside the house with Xiao Hei in his arms, muttering to himself: "My lord really lost his mind because of him. Even I have to be teased, it would be better if I didn't give such a moth to the prince..."

Don't look at the Jiangling government's timidity when encountering problems, but when they really have the support behind them, the efficiency of handling affairs is not inferior to that of the Shuntian government. They quickly found out what happened and presented the dossier to Xiao Beicheng.

He also jokingly said: "It seems that Mr. Wen has not wanted to take care of this matter for a day or two. Even if the king wants more evidence, you can produce it."

"My lord was joking. I am the prefect of Jiangling. I must do things worthy of the court and the common people. Although sometimes I can't help myself, I still have to do what I have to do."

Hearing what he said, Xiao Beicheng began to look at this person, he looked only thirty, so young, no wonder he couldn't control the big and powerful family.

What he meant was that he came to Jiangling to be an official a few years ago. I really have to lament that the emperor puts more emphasis on young people's minds. Others praised the emperor's willingness to use new talents to discover people's talents as soon as possible, which is indeed a foresight.

Only Xiao Beicheng knows that his uncle really likes young and good-looking men...

Thinking of this, he looked at Jun Ziyou who was still asleep on the bed, sighed imperceptibly, and flipped through the file in his hand.

"The person who was matched for the Yin marriage this time is the young master of Jia Ning's family in Jiangling. He is the third in the family. He is only nine years old this year and died young...Such a young child should be married?"

Wen Chu explained: "Hey, my lord, as long as he has money, a newly born boy can ask for a child bride. This is not to offend you. Master Ning has always felt guilty in his heart, and he is afraid that you will blame him, so the government office The questioning is also very cooperative. If you feel that it is inconvenient for the subordinate officials to pass the message, you can call someone to ask them face to face."

Xiao Beicheng subconsciously glanced at Junziyou again, and Wen Chu knew that he was unwilling to leave that person half a step away, so he said: "The lower official has actually found some clues, do you want to hear them?"

"speak."

"Originally, the child brides-in-law and the daughter-in-law of the yin marriage should marry women, but when the white lady went to the Ning's house to talk about matchmaking, she said that the young master passed away at a young age, and he was very resentful, so there must be someone who is full of masculinity. Go and take care of him, or the family's fortune and fortune will be ruined."

"Demon talk to confuse the public."

"The white lady also said that there happened to be a young man who was suffering from a serious disease passing through Jiangling. He was not acclimatized, and if he could not get sick, he would die. He looks good, and there is no one at home. I came to accompany the young master, and I asked for someone to enshrine my spiritual seat after my death. I would burn something for him to use next year. Master Ning nodded, for the prosperity of future generations, I decided to wrong my youngest son to marry a man first, and then give him a few younger ones in a few years."

Xiao Beicheng was still calm, showing no signs of annoyance, which made Wen Chu panic, thinking that such an angry thing would not happen, could King Jin be holding back his fire, waiting to kill someone?

However, Xiao Beicheng just took Junziyou's hand, patted the back of his hand lightly, and sighed in his heart that his life was really ill-fated, not to mention his chronic illness, as a man, he was married twice.

If you say that the first marriage is to marry yourself, it’s not a loss, then the second marriage is to be rationed to a dead baby by a black-hearted man, and it’s strange not to cry after waking up...
