Old things in the Red Chamber

This time, three cases were handed over.

The nature of the case is the same as the previous cases. It was not a big deal at the beginning, but it became a big deal as it dragged on for a long time. Some of them even had some blood at the beginning, and the natural ending was to ignore human lives.

Gu Yun rubbed his brows, and opened the first case, which was also forced to buy and sell. This time it was not some cloth involved in the previous case, but a few fans passed down from his family.

But the person who died had lost his family, but at this time there were still people willing to beat the drums for his name, Gu Yun's first thought was that he was caught in some calculations.

However, he doesn't feel uneasy about falling into someone else's trap. At the beginning, Gu Yun quickly became a high-ranking official by relying on his ability to solve cases like a god, and established a foothold in the imperial court. At her current age, as long as she is stable, After ten years or so, you can become a Ting Wei.

Judging cases is the professional method he relies on for survival, but now some people want to use his hands to push the Jia family into the abyss step by step.

Seeing him in a trance, the master next to him asked him in a low voice, "My lord, should we take these cases or not?"

"We are officials. Since people have sued the officials, of course we have to take care of them. Immediately dispatch three classes of government officials to start investigating the first case. A few years ago, it was estimated that the affairs of Guangning State Mansion would be enough for us to keep busy."

After a long time, all the information about the deceased was placed on Gu Yun's desk.

"My lord, my subordinates have found out that the envoy's surname is Shi, and outsiders call him an idiot. His ancestors used to be nobles in the previous dynasty, so there are some old things in their house, which are very valuable. I heard that over the years, their mother and son They depended on each other. After the stone nerd's old mother passed away a few years ago, he lived by guarding some ancient relics. He sold some of them one after another for food and drink, but there were a few ancestral fans that he didn't plan to sell. But this stone nerd is another People who like to show off once let people see these fans. It was because of this that they were murdered. Jia Rong in Ningguo Mansion heard about these fans the year before last and wanted to buy them, but the price was extremely high. Low, the stone nerd was unwilling to sell, and in the end, the stone nerd fabricated a crime and was tortured to death."

"In what yamen, what charges were fabricated?"

"The infantry commanded the yamen, and the charge was for possession of ordnance."

Now that the Ministry of War is involved, the matter will not be trivial. He ordered the little official, "Classify everything, and I will go to the palace to face the saint at this moment."

The emperor looked at the affidavit and testimony brought by Gu Yun, "Aiqing is right to be cautious. This matter is related to the Ministry of War. In the next few days, the people who command the infantry's yamen will come here to confront you in court. I want to see it." Who is so capable that he can instruct the army that moves me to command the Yamen."

Afterwards, Gu Yun was asked to retreat, and Jia Gu was summoned to enter the palace.

Before Jia Gu entered the palace, the seventh prince asked to see him. The reason why the seventh prince came to see the emperor was very simple. "The date for my son to marry the princess has not been fixed yet. My son wants to come and ask his father, what date is suitable?"

The emperor's face showed a very happy expression from the bottom of his heart, "According to ancient rituals, the time for the emperor to get married is one year, the time for princes is half a year, and the time for scholar-bureaucrats is three months. The time is one month. It’s just that they don’t follow the ancient etiquette. They all want to ask the Bodhisattva about good or bad luck. Your princess married in?"

These words made the seventh prince's back sweat. He naturally wanted to use the etiquette of the emperor to marry his future wife into the family. However, his father was growing old and strong at the moment, so he dared not say that, "My son thinks half a year is enough."

"It's not impossible to use the prince's wedding, then do as you said, when you come back tomorrow, let's ask the officials of the Ministry of Rites to see which day is suitable within half a year?"

The seventh prince carefully looked at the emperor's face, and felt that he didn't look unhappy, so he was relieved.Knowing that the emperor is busy at the moment, he doesn't want to bother him anymore, so he happily retreated.

When he retreated, he ran into Jia Gu head-on.

The Seventh Prince arrogantly waited for Jia Gu to greet him. He had already heard that Jia Gu was Lao Jiu's loyal loyalist and listened to Lao Jiu in everything, so naturally he would not take Jia Gu seriously He didn't even want to show his appearance as a corporal.

Of course Jia Gu wouldn't argue with such a person, and the emperor was about to summon him, something must have happened, he hurriedly went to the study after showing respect to the Seventh Prince.

"Look, this is the latest thing that was placed in front of me. The matter involves the infantry commander's yamen, how do you become the Minister of the Ministry of War?"

After Jia Gu looked over everything, he respectfully returned it to the emperor, "This matter is due to my failure in supervision, and I am willing to accept any punishment."

"Then you should stay at home for the next few days! Of course someone will take care of the affairs of the Ministry of War for you. Go down!"

Jia Gu carefully looked up at the emperor, seeing that the emperor had nothing else to say, he really withdrew.

The news of Jia Gu's dismissal spread across the six departments within half a day.This is a big deal, even an old dude like Jia She knew, and hurriedly waited for Jia Gu to come back at the waiting mansion.

"Which bastard advanced your slander on the emperor? How can you be exempted from being an official?"

Jia Gu was not impatient, and slowly sat back on the teacher's chair in the study, and casually told Jia She about the incident, "Isn't this just right? After working hard for so many years, I can finally sleep well now."

"You are confused! I, who have never been an official before, know that if you show fatigue, someone will come up and step on you."

"Then what do you say?"

"I don't know what caused you to become like this. You tell me the cause and effect first. Dogs have dog paths, cats have cat paths, maybe I can help you."

"This matter! It's really hard to say. It was our nephew and son-in-law who made the move, and Jia Rong, the commander of the infantry and Jia Rong of the Ningguo Mansion, who committed the crime. If it didn’t work, I framed him to death. He died in the yamen of the infantry commander, and then someone sued this matter to the Shuntian Mansion. After the Shuntian Mansion accepted the case, it went to the palace. I was called in by the emperor. , outright dismissal. That’s how it happened.”

"It's great that you are a crime of negligence, and you don't need to be dismissed from your official position."

After Jia She finished saying this, he stomped his feet angrily, "I knew those fathers were definitely not good people. You said that everything that happened could be related to them. How good is it? You have to force him to death. And our nephew and son-in-law are also stubborn, so what’s the point of telling us about this matter first, and they just reported it to the palace.”

"He didn't do anything wrong. If the emperor knows that he let us read the pleadings first, then he won't be able to eat and walk around. Maybe he will suspect that there is some collusion between our two families?"

It's just that this society pays attention to human relations everywhere. Jia She felt that his brother suffered an innocent disaster. Everyone can understand this matter, but Gu Yun didn't say it in advance, and he didn't look like a relative at all.

The old dandy was indignant, "It's a big loss for my niece to marry him, otherwise he will do things in the front and let my niece make amends for him behind the scenes..."

Seeing that Jia Gu was not in a hurry at all, Jia She suddenly felt blessed, "Do you have a trick that is useless?"

"I can have any after photos, but you are talking about it yourself, but you didn't find a thing."

"what's up?"

"Brother, you have to find a way about this matter. I specially sent someone to inquire about this matter and it has nothing to do with Master Jia."

"Next time you send someone out to inquire about it, tell me first, and be careful not to spoil the big thing."

The Ninth Prince and the Eleventh Prince are also discussing this matter.From Eleven Huangzi's point of view, if Jia Gu is unlucky, it will be a big blow to his brothers.

"Why did the person you sent tell you when they came back?" The Ninth Prince was worried that it was the Eleventh Prince who was doing the work, so he asked purposely.

"What else can I say? Just say that the one who got involved in the Ningguo Mansion lost his official position. Brother, you can hold your breath. We have to find a way, not to mention reinstating him as an official, but also to let him have something to do. Although Jia Xun is also a great assistant in Jiangnan, but he can't quench his thirst far away."

"Who told you that Mr. Jia has no official position? You don't even think about whether your father has accepted someone else to guard the gate of the palace."

The tenth prince immediately understood.

"According to what you said, are the pro-army in the camp outside the city also commanded by Mr. Jia?"

The Ninth Prince nodded. "I always feel that things are not easy, so you should tell me first when you go out to inquire next time. Otherwise, we will unintentionally ruin the important matter of the father, and then we will be guilty."

The eleventh prince nodded quickly.

"Now I'm relieved. It seems that Mr. Jia was not implicated but walked from the front to the back of the crowd."

The Ninth Prince felt that this matter was not optimistic.Let the father feel like he is facing a big enemy, and even start to mobilize troops and potential generals, what will happen will definitely not be a trivial matter.

"If you only care about it, you will be confused. You have never thought carefully about Mr. Jia's multiple roles. But those who pay attention to him will not be deceived by the superficial trick of the father. I don't know if the father will have a trick. "

This is the beginning of the master's move, but the eleventh prince is already full of awe for the people above the court.I feel that my brain is no match for those old foxes.

"Brother, I will be obedient in the future, what do you want me to do? I will do whatever, but what should we do now?"

"Of course we don't do this, it has nothing to do with us, and the emperor doesn't want us to intervene. Even if we forcibly intervene, I am afraid that we are not their opponents. Now that the Chu River Han border has been opened, the pawns have crossed the river , Watching chess without speaking is what a gentleman does."
