[Red Chamber] Come for a hexagram?

Shisan carried the fainted Wang Ren, called a carriage, and went straight to the hotel.

When getting off the carriage and carrying people into the mansion, the guards guarding the door stared at him.

What... what do you mean?

Why did these two go out one after the other, and came back together, and it was the noble elder brother who came back with the imperial envoy on his shoulders?

what happened?

Thirteen completely ignored the strange gazes of the people around him, carried them into the room and threw them directly on the bed, while he sat down to drink tea and rest, and at the same time he was happy for himself.

After my brain was not so hot, I began to feel that my reaction was a little too extreme.

Men who have passed the age of 12 have also begun to mature in that respect, and they are already at the age where they can play and stuff people into the house.It is not surprising that he would be curious to go to the brothel to see it.Which of the current officials has never been in a brothel to have fun?

And it was a brothel where most of the official prostitutes entered.

In the past, official prostitutes themselves were prostitutes who served officials. Nowadays, official prostitution and prostitution are not as popular as before, and now they are gradually no longer a sign of coquettishness, but have gradually become an existence that people criticize.Therefore, although official prostitutes are still supported by the state, they have begun to decline, and they have also opened their doors to ordinary talents and moved closer to civilian prostitutes.

But the father never ordered the abolition, nor did he ban officials from prostitution.It stands to reason that Wang Ren* may have a bad reputation, but in the end it will not hinder his official career.

Why is he so angry?

wrong!If you want to live a long life, you must cultivate your body and mind!How can this kind of fireworks land come here often!Thirteen immediately remembered the teachings of his father, he did it for Wang Renhao!

It's that kid who doesn't love himself!

What's more, the case is still being handled now!

Thirteen, who thought he had figured it out, felt at ease.

Wang Ren on the bed slowly woke up.

My neck hurts...

Wang Ren lay on the bed, touched his neck, and then sat up dizzily.Turning around, I saw a blurry figure sitting at the table. After being confused for a while, I suddenly woke up.

"Thirteen! Why did you knock me out!" Wang Ren immediately became angry.

"So that you don't lose face outside." Shisan said, "I've already said that kind of thing too early is not good for your health."

"I'm here to investigate the case!" Wang Ren gritted his teeth.

Thirteen: "...Huh?"

The two exchanged information with each other, and only then did they know that Wang Ren was following Lu Cai, while Yin Xiang knew that someone went to the brothel to ask someone to discuss the sale of official salt because of the investigation.He planned to catch the small ones first, and then follow the vines to catch them all.

So when Lucai and others met in that room to discuss official accounts, Wang Ren was in the room next to the east, and Yinxiang was in the room next to the west.

Lu Cai, how does it feel to be surrounded?

But even so, Wang Ren was severely criticized by Yinxiang for going to the brothel this time.The reason is that the style is not rigorous.

Didn't you go as an elder brother too!Why can't he!

Although I really want to say that...

Going to the brothel to investigate the case was criticized so harshly, what if he went to the Nanfeng Hall to really go whoring in the future?Will Thirteen break his leg angrily?

etc!Why do I feel that he is stricter than my current father?

The matter of the brothel has been taken over.After getting the clues, Wang Ren and Yinxiang quickly checked those small officials and their account books, which recorded several merchants who sold salt, and they had contacts with each other.It's just that they didn't catch Li Yu and Deputy Dutong.I don't know if it's because I mentioned Li Yu to Shi Yeye once, but now Li Yu seems to know the news that he is suspected, and he does things more rigorously. He usually doesn't go out when there is nothing to do, and always stays at home.It feels like a serious and good official.He even invited Wang Ren and Yinxiang to his home to show his innocence.The furnishings in the home are simple, and there is not a single valuable thing.Even Yinxiang looked at it and felt that he suspected the wrong person.But Wang Ren didn't think so. He felt that the evil spirit on this person had begun to become heavier, and he was afraid that he might be stained with blood again recently.

Murder to silence, and completely cut off the relationship between Lu Cai and others and himself... Maybe so.

Unfortunately there is no evidence.

It had only been two days since Lu was caught, and when there was no other clue, Shi Ye couldn't sit still.He even wanted to use punishment to force those people to recruit the mastermind behind it. He still doesn't believe that his students are also involved in the case.

In the end, those people were forced to only say that these were their confessions.

A petty official whose highest rank is no more than the fifth rank can swallow millions of taels of official salt and silver. If there is no one to cover them, even if they have such courage, they will not have such great ability.

Wang Ren could know the general location of the ledger and the officials involved in the case, but knowing it was one thing, but being able to find it was another.

He mentioned more than once that he wanted to search directly, but Yinxiang rejected them all.The matter of Guanyan froze for a while, until Lin Jing came back after finishing his father's funeral and said to help Yinxiang handle the case.Perhaps it was because of Lin Ruhai's sudden death that Lin Jing's style of handling things was quite tough. He even discussed with Wang Ren how to set up a trap to lure Xiang Wenxu behind Yinxiang's back, and then sent someone to sneak into Xiang Wenxu's Fudu Tong The government office stole the ledger.After having the account book, there is evidence in hand, and the number of merchants and money transactions that have colluded with them.Other things are much easier to handle.

Afterwards, I learned that the upright Thirteenth Lord was angry and helpless towards Wang Ren.

Although Lin Jing's method is useful, it has too many disadvantages. This is not a fair thing, and it cannot be used as a model for all officials.On the contrary, such things should be avoided.

If there was no nod from the imperial envoy, Wang Ren, even if Lin Jing came up with this method, it would be just a thought in the end.

But in the end, the case was judged by Wang Ren messily.Although the process of handling the case was somewhat unreasonable, the result was good.All the officials involved in the case in Yangzhou, including the students of Shiye, were convicted and sentenced. Everything was done in accordance with the criminal law of the Qing Dynasty, without any favoritism.

Then write down the case that happened in Yangzhou in detail, then hand it over to Beijing, and report it to Kangxi.

Kangxi laughed when he saw it, wrote an imperial decree, and sent someone back to Yangzhou.

Because of Wang Ren's meritorious service in handling the case, he directly replaced Lin Ruhai and assumed the position of Yangzhou patrol salt censor, and his official position was the fourth rank.For the young Wang Ren, this is not a small improvement, and this is an official with real power.

But the problem is!Labor and management don't want to do a good job at all!

The day after Wang Ren received the imperial edict, he returned to the room and almost smashed the chair.

Having already understood Wang Ren's distaste for officialdom, as the chief culprit who started Wang Ren's career as an official, Yinxiang drank his tea slowly without saying a word.

Others also received awards, and even Lin Jing got the position of deputy envoy of the Salt Transportation Department.

As for the practice industry, although the emperor did not hold him accountable, he took the mistakes of his students as his own responsibility.If the teaching is not strict, it is the fault of the teacher.Especially when it was found out that it was his student who instigated Lin Ruhai to poison Lin Ruhai, Shi Xing was heartbroken.

Not only that, but he also trusted his students more. No wonder every time he caught officials who leaked things, he failed. It turned out that he leaked the news and trusted the wrong person.Now he not only recommended a vicious and greedy person to this position, but also let him kill his colleagues. He has no face to continue to work in Yangzhou, let alone return to Beijing to face Sheng.A letter of resignation was sent to the emperor, begging for the bones to go home and farm.

Kangxi did not keep him, so he agreed.

Because of Shi Industry's resignation, his original position became vacant all of a sudden, and there was no suitable person to fill it for a while, so Kangxi directly asked Yinxiang to take his place, and returned to Beijing until the new official took office.
