The predecessor who was scumbag by me was the emperor

"Young master, I know these people. They are the gangsters in the neighborhood. They spend their days doing nothing but smashing, looting, or bullying men and women. They have been reprimanded countless times by the government."

Zhao Zhang asked with a sullen face: "Why can such a person still walk on the street? According to the laws of the Jin Dynasty, criminals must be imprisoned for at least three years. !"

The head catcher didn't know whether to laugh or cry. Under Zhao Zhang's pressure, he wanted to kneel down and beg for mercy, but he still dared to answer: "Although they are messing around, they have never done anything too extreme. At most, they will be locked up for a few days, or It’s just that the family used money to redeem it, but they didn’t expect that there would be a murder case this time.”

Shen Jia suddenly remembered, wasn't that man he looked familiar with just one of the gangsters who made trouble in his shop last time?

Is it really a professional underworld?

People from the Jinwu Guard also arrived soon. If a homicide occurred in Chang'an City, if it was an ordinary citizen, it would be tried by the Shuntian Mansion, and the Jinwu Guard only needed to assist.

"Boss Shen, what are we doing here?" The Jinwu guard Shen Jia who came here had never seen him before, and the other party didn't know him, so he took an extra look at Shen Jia and the others.

Both Shen Jia and Zhao Zhang are the kind of people who stand out from the crowd and can't be ignored, especially Zhao Zhang, because he encountered a murder case as soon as he came out, he was in a bad mood, with a straight face, and he could feel it within a hundred meters. The low air pressure on his body made even He Yan dare not approach him.

The head catcher glanced at Zhao Zhang first, and seeing that the other party hadn't spoken, he replied, "Captain Teng, the assailant has been caught, but these little gangsters are probably instigated to make trouble. I didn't expect to make trouble." Human life, I am preparing to take them back for interrogation."

Zhao Zhang said at this time: "Ask that one over there, she should have a clue." Zhao Zhang was referring to the woman over there who was crying hoarsely.

The woman cried hoarsely, she was completely immersed in grief, she couldn't hear the sounds around her, until Shen Butou peeled off her hand from the corpse, the other party woke up with a start and bit Shen Butou hard.

"Aw... you woman..." Shen Bubu covered his bleeding arm and stepped back, "Be sober, can you see who I am?"

Shen Butou often patrols the streets in this area, and knows the owner of this restaurant. When the old owner was there, he would often invite them in for drinks and meat, so they took good care of this restaurant.

But after the death of the old owner, there are only orphans and widows left here, so it is not easy for them to come to the door, so as not to spread any bad rumors. Later, the business of this restaurant gradually calmed down. I didn't expect this to happen today. things.

"Boss Shen...you want to avenge my son, he is only 17 years old..."

Shen Jia couldn't see this kind of human tragedy the most, so he teased Zhao Zhang, "Should we leave? The government will hear this case. They will feel uncomfortable working if you stay here."

Zhao Zhang glanced at the corpse on the ground, turned around and let out a long breath, and said in a low voice, "It was the same when my elder brother died. He was dressed in white, and his head hit the corner of the table. He looked like a I still remember that my mother was so sad when she saw this scene, she hugged her brother's body and refused to let go. At that time, I thought, I don't have an elder brother in this life. lost."

"The emperor..." Shen Jia's heart was heavy. He didn't know how the former crown prince died, but it was not an accident. The point is to clear up the chaos and stabilize the Dajin River.

Zhao Zhang turned his head, and the corner of his mouth curled up, "Let's go, didn't you say you want to visit the shop you chose?"

"It's okay if you don't go, it hasn't opened yet."

"Go and have a look, I don't have many chances to leave the palace."

With the testimony of the second child just now, their confessions are worthless, and Chief Shen didn't stop them, but pulled the captain Teng after they left and asked in a low voice: "Did the two young masters know each other?"

Colonel Teng shook his head, then nodded again, "I haven't seen it before, but I guess that handsome young man is Langzhong Shen from the Ministry of Household Affairs, our good brother at the head, there are not many people with such a good-looking appearance in Chang'an City. "

"So that's the case, no wonder the guards they brought are masters."

The shop that Shen Jia gave to the eldest sister had already been decorated, and when the door was opened, the room was filled with the fragrance of flowers, and a cool breeze rushed over.

Zhao Zhang’s eyes lit up. There was a small rockery facing the gate. The gurgling water flowed from top to bottom and flowed into the pool below. In the pool, a few goldfishes were swimming freely, hiding among the aquatic plants from time to time. Rockery.

"How did you come up with the idea of ​​putting this in the shop? Is it also the way of Feng Shui?"

"Well, the main thing is aesthetics." Shen Jia took him in, and introduced him to those places. It was his idea. The traditional cloth shop is to put cloth on the table for people to choose. Shen Jia made shelves along the three walls. There is a wooden pole on each shelf, which is used to hang sample fabrics, but it is a pity that there is no light, otherwise the use of light can make the products look more beautiful.

It's still empty inside now, and the cloth won't be delivered until the day before the opening, so Shen Jia placed pots of flowers on each shelf to make the bare shelves look less obtrusive.

On the second floor, apart from putting some precious cloths, Shen Jia also prepared a fitting room with a full-length mirror, and a bench and table for resting. It's just a thin circular arc, with some petals dotted with paint, which looks exquisite and unique.

The screen window is made of pink silk yarn, which is light and breathable. When the wind blows, the silk yarn floats up gently, and a few white feathers can be vaguely seen. Accompanied by the sound of jingling wind chimes, it makes people feel a little quiet. .

Zhao Zhang sat down on the bench, and found that the bottom of his buttocks was soft, and there was a pillow on his back. He relaxed and sat on the bench, and even felt drowsy.

"Where did you ask the carpenter to make the furniture?"

"How about making it by your own craftsman?"

"That's right, make a set for me and keep it in the inner room."

"Okay." Shen Jia also doesn't like the furniture of this era very much. It looks good, but it's too bulky, and it will look very depressing after being placed in the room. The improved new Chinese-style furniture is made without too many carving techniques, and very little wood is used. It is matched with fabrics and cotton, which is indeed fresher and more elegant than the original furniture.

"This place is used to entertain female guests, so I try to follow the aesthetics of women. My eldest sister is very satisfied after seeing it once, and it should be popular."

Zhao Zhang said bluntly: "The most important thing about a good shop is the quality of the products. These foreign things are just icing on the cake."

"That's natural. This shop sells Sichuan brocade, and also sells some high-quality Yun brocade. This is not a new thing in Chang'an. The only way to open the market is to rely on publicity and some ingenious ideas."

Zhao Zhang picked up a cute little panda puppet on the coffee table, and twitched the corners of his mouth, "Your idea is quite ingenious, girls should like it, I have an impulse to let you open a shop, it can't be said In the future, I will also be able to make money day by day, so that I can be rich in the world while lying down."

Shen Jia nodded seriously, "Don't say it, I'm quite confident, maybe it will be a bit difficult at the beginning, but if I have enough capital to let me try, I think I can succeed, and maybe I can beat the Yonghe Chamber of Commerce !"

"Ambition!" Zhao Zhang nodded. He believes that people like Shen Jia can do well no matter what industry they are in. If there is a will, there is a way. What he sees in Shen Jia is endless energy. and endless ideas.

Shen Jia doesn't think he has much ability, but it's true that he has perseverance. God gave him a good background, and gave him a normal brain and body. If he doesn't give it a try, he will be too sorry for his rebirth.

Shen Jia wanted to take Zhao Zhang home to have a meal and spend more time with his parents, but Zhao Zhang was not in a good mood today.Afraid of neglecting Shen's father and Shen's mother, he went straight back to the palace.

Shen Jia first went to the yamen of the household department, handled today's official duties, and held another meeting. The three groups of people under him have become more and more tacit, and the tasks assigned to Shen Jia can always be completed in the first time. Recently, the three team leaders In the competition for Yuanwailang's position, it was the benefits that Director Shen won for them, but unfortunately there were only two places, and one of the three was destined to not be promoted.

Seeing that they were working harder and harder recently, Shen Jia felt a little guilty. He originally wanted to fight for three promotion places, but Zhao Zhang said that if there are too many things, they are worthless. It is better to let them compete for the top position. Only failure can stand out The joy of success.

Shen Jia had to admit that this method was very good, and now the accounting department is full of energy, obviously because they see a bright future.

Shen Jia felt that he was the one who was hanging carrots in front of the donkey, and for this reason, he was very kind to everyone recently.

After leaving the government office, Shen Jia packed up and prepared to go home. It is normal to work overtime, but most people will choose to go home and work overtime. This is why officials always like to find aides, because they can help them share the work.

After getting into the carriage, He Yan came in mysteriously and said, "I heard that the case we encountered this morning has some clues."

"Oh? How did you say it?"

"I heard that it was the deceased's uncle who hired the murderer behind the scenes. In order to fight for the restaurant, the uncle borrowed money when the restaurant opened. Later, the deceased's father doubled the money and repaid him. It stands to reason that the restaurant has nothing to do with him. Yes, but as soon as the owner died, he came up with the idea of ​​a restaurant. He insisted that he was also the owner, and that the restaurant would be owned by him in the future. Of course, the mother and son of the deceased refused. This matter had been going on for a long time, and people would come here from time to time Make trouble, the business of the restaurant is also getting worse little by little, and it is the same today, but I didn't expect that people would die."

Shen Jia has seen quite a few cases where father and son turned against each other and brothers fought against each other for money, so this incident does not sound surprising, "If he insists that he did not hire murderers, he will be sentenced to a year or a half at most."

"You're right, but I guess it won't even take a year or so in the end."

"Why?"

"That family is actually the natal family of the most beloved concubine of the King of Beichen. Although the concubine is nothing, but only asking to be with the prince, this small punishment will be avoided."

"Bei Chen Wang...is his taste so unique?"

"I heard that the concubine is beautiful and she is new to the mansion, so she should have some weight."

Shen Jia groaned, "It's nothing more than usual, but today's case was witnessed by the emperor himself, so it's not so easy to get confused. King Beichen really dares to flout the law, and the emperor will probably be very disappointed with him."
