The eldest princess met Gao Xun once before leaving Beijing, and she was very reluctant to part with this little uncle. She was the one who suggested that Gao Xun go to Chang'an to become an official. More often.

Even Gao Xun gave her the idea that she was secretly looking for a young man who looked exactly like Shen Jia. Of course, what he said at the time was: Maybe the emperor just likes that skin, just try another one and you will know.

The eldest princess sighed, and told him in a low voice: "Maybe that method won't work anymore, the emperor must have discovered it, and with the embankment, he will definitely be unhappy to see such a person again."

Gao Xun's eyes flashed, and the corner of his mouth twitched mockingly when he lowered his head. He just felt that the eldest princess's affairs were extremely unreliable, and such a simple matter could be messed up.

When he raised his head, there was a gentle smile on the corner of his mouth, and he comforted: "Sister-in-law, don't worry, you will find out when you find out, and the person hasn't been sent out yet, there is no evidence, even if the emperor wants to find the person behind the scenes, there is no evidence."

"It's just a pity, and now I don't know how to break them up."

Gao Xun took a step forward, knelt down in front of the eldest princess, and said sincerely: "Sister-in-law, it's rare for the emperor to have someone he likes, must it be like this?"

The eldest princess frowned, and said disgustedly: "How can this be done? If he is just playing for fun, it is fine, but he must not ignore the country. For the sake of a man, the harem is no longer needed, nor is the heir, nor is the community. Now, isn't this a faint king?"

Gao Xun then said in a low voice: "This relationship is inherently mysterious. In fact, even if you find someone who looks exactly like Shen Jia, the emperor may not be tempted. There is a genuine product, who would like a fake?"

The eldest princess's heart moved, "Then what if we get rid of this authentic product?"

Gao Xun lowered his head and said, "The genuine ones are gone, so what's the use of fake ones? After a long time, the emperor will come out naturally."

"That's reasonable, but you don't know, Shen Jia is surrounded by hidden guards, how can it be so easy to get rid of it? Forget it, let's talk about Shen Jia later in the Japanese palace."

Gao Xun smiled, thinking that the eldest princess was too stupid, and couldn't help reminding her: "Who said that killing a person must be done by assassination, wouldn't it make the emperor Longyan furious if he died like this? The emperor might remember him for the rest of his life." , he is an official in the imperial court, as long as there are enough reasons, the emperor himself will have to kill him, wouldn't that justify his name?"

"Where do we start? The Shen family is weak, collaborating with the enemy and treason is absolutely impossible, corruption and bribery? You can't get a minister of the Ministry of Industry if you don't pay a huge sum. How can you get him to take the bait?"

Gao Xun looked at the eldest princess with bright and clear eyes, and only asked: "If my sister-in-law has made up her mind, I can leave this matter to Xun, but the result cannot be guaranteed."

"You..." The eldest princess couldn't bear it, "This is not good, what should you do if it hurts you?"

"Sister-in-law, don't say that. We are a family, and we should help each other. Just wait for my good news, sister-in-law."

The eldest princess was moved in her heart, looking at that jade-like cheek, she wished she could hold it and touch it, but unfortunately she didn't dare, she was lucky to have such a close look.

She blushed and said: "Don't worry, if something happens, even if you give up my life, you will be saved."

The two bid farewell to each other, and when they walked out of the eldest princess's mansion, Gao Xun sat in the sedan chair, his face turned gloomy, and he ordered his followers through the curtain: "Go and find out how Shen Jia's brothers-in-law are."

Ling Jingyun did not find out who was behind the scenes in the end, but all the evidence pointed to the Princess's Mansion, because the last place where the steward with a mole on his hand appeared was the Princess's Mansion, but he could not be found when he checked again, so the clues were broken.

"There's no need to check, send people to keep an eye on the hot spring villa, and check the people who come in and out every day. I don't believe they have no countermeasures." Zhao Zhang said displeased.

Ling Jingyun himself felt a headache for the emperor. The empress dowager and the eldest princess obviously wanted to beat the mandarin ducks, but they didn't dare to make it clear and insisted on doing some small tricks. Don't you know that this would make the emperor even more angry. The family relationship will also be broken.

After leaving the palace, Ling Jingyun met Shen Jia. He had just come out of the Ministry of Industry. The two exchanged polite greetings. Ling Jingyun took the opportunity to remind him: "Sir Shen is young and occupies a high position. You should pay attention to safety in daily life. Eat, drink, and make friends. Friends must be extra careful, and the heart of defense is indispensable."

"Thank you Master Ling for reminding each other, Master Ling has offended more people, so you should be more careful."

"Haha, I'm afraid that they won't succeed!" Ling Jingyun is bold, he is not a frail scholar like Shen Jia, and it is not so easy to want his life.

Shen Jia bid farewell to go home, and saw the third sister was a guest at home with her child, she hadn't come for a while, Shen Jia picked up her nephew and walked over to ask: "Is brother-in-law coming back soon?"

It was originally planned to sacrifice the captives at the end of the month, and the soldiers should return in triumph by then. The third brother-in-law has made great contributions this time, and it is said that he has been promoted to the commander of a thousand commanders, and he will return to his hometown with honor.

Shen Peng said happily: "Yeah, I just received your brother-in-law's letter yesterday, and it was written last month, saying that the army was dispatched. No matter how slow it is, this month should be here. If he doesn't come back for a day, the whole family will be in danger." I remember them very much.”

Shen's mother said from the side: "It is a great joy to be able to return safely. When he comes back, you should also persuade him. There is nothing wrong with the Jinwu Guard. With his current qualifications, he should be able to promote a small official and let your brother sell his favors." , is better than going to the border to suffer.”

"My mother-in-law also meant the same thing, so I just came back today, just to ask, is there any suitable position for your brother-in-law in this capital? I don't understand this as a woman."

Shen Jia also knew Zhang Lu's temperament very well, so she didn't dare to make a decision for him, she just said: "Let's talk about this matter when my brother-in-law comes back and asks, maybe he has his own ideas."

Shen Peng thought that he was angry because of Zhang Lu's refusal to go to the Jinwu Guard last time, and softly begged: "Your brother-in-law is a good-faced person, and he has no bad intentions. Don't be angry, he is so capable. Where can you see right?"

Not to mention that outsiders are dazzled by Shen Jia's speed of promotion, even the Shen family members think that his official fortune is too prosperous, and how old he is, he has already sat on the position of servant, and many people will never catch up in their lifetime.

So now the eldest brother-in-law Yang Sen completely treats Shen Jia as his own younger brother, and what he says is the same as the imperial decree.

The second brother-in-law was respected by others in the Guozijian through Shen Jia's light, and he naturally admired him. Once the gap between people is too big, they will not even be jealous, only admire, so the second sister's life in her husband's house is too I feel very happy, and I have recently regained my body.

"Then make two-handed preparations. I'll go find out first. The capital is full of nobles. I don't guarantee that I will be able to find a high position for him. It will be smoother if he is released."

Shen Peng thought for a while, and said, "Now the whole family has settled down in Chang'an, and I don't want to run around anymore, so I'll stay here, with my natal family taking care of me, so I can live a comfortable life."

That's right, Shen Jia nodded, as long as he took care of the third brother-in-law's temper, he didn't think about anything else.

After waiting for a few days, the imperial court finally received the news from Marquis Zhenyuan that the army was about to enter the city in three days. The emperor ordered Prince Rui to personally bring all the civil and military officials to the gate of the city to greet him, to save face.

The Marquis of Zhenyuan came back from a victorious battle, Cao's mansion attracted much attention in the court, and even Cao Ruiwen became the most sought after official. The officials who once said that he was not qualified enough to be the governor of Shuntian Mansion had long forgotten this sentence, and they couldn't wait to meet each other Praise people from head to toe, in this way, Shen Jia's limelight will not be so obvious.

Cao Ruiwen finished writing the conclusion on the last page in the yamen, organized the documents and put them in a box, and wrote the time and name of the case on the outside of the box.

"My lord, Jin Yiwei sent a few prisoners here. They said they were human traffickers. Because the case was settled, they sent them to us. They said that the emperor ordered them to be executed."

This kind of thing often happens, Jin Yiwei handles special cases, and sometimes some prisoners will be handed over after the processing is over, and those who stay in Zhao Prison are either repeat criminals of the imperial court or still useful suspects.

"Who is it?" Cao Ruiwen asked routinely.

"Do you still remember Liang Qing and others who were sent here before? It was that case, those people were taken away by Jin Yiwei that night, and you haven't had time to interrogate them."

"Liang Qing? Was it the young man who looked like Mr. Shen at first glance who the master secretary told me that day?"

"This... I don't know much about this subordinate. I haven't seen Mr. Shen before, but the Master Registrar said yes."

Cao Ruiwen felt a little strange, the man was sent by Shen's residence, and he was similar to Shen Jiachang's, he always felt that the inside story was not simple, he took the case file and said: "Then the prisoner sent this time is the one who kidnapped Liang Qing?"

"Yes, there are a few more. I heard that not only Liang Qing was tied up, but another was seriously injured and is still lying in the post house for the imperial doctor to heal."

Cao Ruiwen opened the case file and started to look through it. Not all the cases handed over by Jin Yiwei will be clearly explained. Some cases involving confidentiality will only be issued a notice. This case looks like an ordinary case. Why did Jin Yiwei work?And the case file turned out to be a simple case of human trafficking.

"Has Liang Qing been released?"

"It should be let go. Jin Yiwei didn't say anything, and his subordinates didn't ask."

Cao Ruiwen waved him out, got his confidants to come in, and whispered a few words to him, asking him to investigate the situation of the case.

Cao's family also has acquaintances in Jinyiwei, so it is not difficult to inquire about a case, but unexpectedly, when the attendant came back, he looked blank and said: "My subordinate asked Yin Qianhu, and he said he didn't know about it. The commander personally interrogated and finalized the case, and the only one who knew the inside story was Lu Baihu, but that person Lu Baihu..."

"Okay, I know, there's no need to ask any more, and tell Yin Sheng not to speak out, this matter is over."

"Yes, but my lord, don't you find it strange? Just a simple case of human trafficking, why is it kept so secret?"

Cao Ruiwen glanced up at him with sharp eyes, "Don't ask if you shouldn't."

"Yes, that subordinate...go down first?"

Cao Ruiwen waved his hand, and then suddenly said, "Send someone to look for that young man named Liang Qing, and if you find someone, tell him that there is still a document on my side that needs his signature, and he can get a sum of compensation as the sufferer." , let him come to Shuntian Mansion to pick it up, and the other person, you also go to the post house to see how he is."

"Yes, this subordinate will do it."

Cao Ruiwen sat alone for a while, and always felt that this matter had nothing to do with Shen Jia. The thousand households of Jin Yiwei didn't know the details of the case, so it must be a case directly intervened by the emperor, and they didn't know what the situation was.

After Liang Qing was released, he originally wanted to return to Tongzhou, but Shen Jia was afraid that he would be silenced, so he took him to the Shen residence for two days. During his escape, he was slightly injured and frightened. Beizhen Fusi was even more frightened. Shen Jia felt that he had been implicated by herself, so she wanted to send someone to send him back to Tongzhou after he recovered from his injuries.

Shen's mother didn't know what was going on at first, but she couldn't sleep for several nights after she found out. When Shen Jia was promoted, she thought it would be great to have an emperor as her son-in-law, and lean against a big tree to enjoy the shade, but this happened. I also feel that such a son-in-law is too troublesome, and I don't know when he was killed.

When Shen's mother saw Liang Qing, she felt close at first glance. This was just a naive and pure Shen Jia, so soft, it made a mother's heart overflow with love.

"Good boy, don't be afraid, just stay in the Shen's house for a few days, and it won't be too late to go home when you get better. It's really a crime. I don't know what your parents are in a hurry? Tell Jiajia your address and ask him to send someone first Send the news to the past, so as not to worry the family members."

Liang Qing didn't know that he was abducted because of Shen Jia, he had endless gratitude to Shen Jia, and treated the Shen family as lifesavers.

"Thank you, old madam, Mr. Shen has already made this arrangement. This time the grassroots escaped from danger, thanks to Mr. Shen's help. I am ashamed that I can't repay my life-saving grace."

"What kind of life-saving grace is this? Don't take it to heart. If you have the heart, you can treat it as a serious relative in the future. Who else is in your family?"

"Grandfather and grandmother are alive, my father is the eldest son, and there are several uncles below, all living together, and there are many brothers and sisters in the family. I... I am a concubine, and I am not valued by the family. This time I have been missing for many days. The family may not Remember me." Liang Qing said weakly.

"That's a big family. If there are too many children in this family, there will inevitably be negligence. Don't take it to heart. It will be fine when you get married and have a small family."

Liang Qing grinned. When he smiled, his facial features were more similar to those of Shen Jia, but the feeling was different. Shen Jia's smile was more wanton and ostentatious, while Liang Qing's was more shy and soft.

The elders all like such a well-behaved and cute child. If it weren't for the trouble he would have if he stayed in the capital, Shen's mother would have wanted to keep him for a long time.

Although Shen Jia felt guilty towards him, when he thought that this person was recruited to seduce Zhao Zhang, he couldn't get too close to him, so as not to be noticed by someone who cared about him, so he arranged for him after he recovered from his injury. Send him out of Beijing manually.

But as soon as he left the gate, someone came to report: "My lord, the Shuntian Mansion sent someone to pick up Mr. Liang, saying that he was going to get compensation, and that he would not stay for long, and he would send him back soon. "

"Have our people followed?"

"I went to two, but I guess I can only wait outside the government office."

"Then let me know when you receive someone, as long as the person is fine."

After waiting for an hour, the servants came to report again, saying that Liang Qing had returned and he was intact, and asked Shen Jia if he wanted to see him.

Shen Jia shook her head, not intending to see Liang Qing again, and sent someone to take him home.

As for the other one, Shen Jia didn't know how to deal with it for a while.
