Master of Rebirth

Maybe it was because the hot pot was too hot, anyway, after eating, both of them got angry.In addition, after being separated for some time, it was Xiao Biesheng who was newly married.After eating, Zhao Jing couldn't wait to take Wang Qi back to the post house.After closing the door, the two never came out again.

The two of them spent two days carefree like this, even eating in bed.It was not until the morning of the third day that Zhao Jing opened the door.

"Young Lord, are you still going to the yamen today?" Seeing that the master's face was not exhausted, Yan Wu counted the time silently, and couldn't help admiring Zhao Jing's bravery from the bottom of his heart.

Seeing the ambiguous expression on Yan Wu's face, Zhao Jing couldn't help but give him a blank look, and said, "Aren't you talking nonsense? Hurry up and fetch water, and wait for the young master to take a bath and change clothes."

"Okay." Yan Wu sneaked a glance into the room, trying to see Wang Qi's situation at this time, but unfortunately he failed.Before Zhao Jing's slap fell, Yan Wu put oil on his feet and ran away.

Putting the bathtub and the necessary things outside, Zhao Jing sent everyone out and closed the door to take a bath.After tidying up, the door was reopened.

Seeing that he was fully dressed, Yan Wu hurriedly asked the boy to carry the bathtub out, and ordered the staff in the post house to serve Zhao Jing a delicious breakfast.

"He has been exhausted for the past two days. After I go out, don't disturb him." Zhao Jing finished the buns, gestured to the inside with his eyes, and whispered, "Let the kitchen cook some white porridge for preparation." Come on, get some side dishes for dinner, and when he wakes up, watch him eat."

Thinking about it with her feet, she knew why Wang Qi was exhausted. Yan Wu smiled and said, "Young Lord, don't worry. But, aren't you just acting? Are you serious?"

"Keep your voice down." After glaring at Yan Wu fiercely, Zhao Jing looked inside worriedly.

Zhao Jing didn't hear any movement from Wang Qi, knowing that he was still asleep, Zhao Jing felt relieved, and then blamed: "You always follow Wang Qi, be careful in everything, use your brain before speaking, don't talk Don't choose your words. He has always been a shrewd person, if he finds out that he has ruined my affairs, I will definitely take you as a question."

"Yes, my subordinates must pay attention." Yan Wu said hastily.

Seeing that he had calmed down, Zhao Jing felt relieved.After taking a sip of porridge, Zhao Jing said: "During the few days I was away, what happened in the yamen?"

"You still remember the serious things." Giving Zhao Jing a big roll of his eyes in his heart, Yan Wu smiled and said, "It's nothing serious, but I heard that the Chamber of Commerce in Jeju jointly petitioned for Chen Xiu. , there must be dozens of people."

"Hmph, they can't sit still." Zhao Jing snorted coldly, "Rather than petitioning for Chen Xiu, it's better for themselves."

Yan Wudao: "Young Master is very predictable. His subordinates have checked it out. Some of the petitioners are indeed engaged in military business. The subordinates have already sent people to investigate. These people are not clean. There should be news in a few days."

"Is this Chen Xiu so capable of uniting the entire Jeju Chamber of Commerce to protect him?" Although this question was a question, Zhao Jing's tone already gave the answer.

Yan Wu smiled disdainfully, and said: "Just like Chen Xiu, of course he doesn't have this ability. I heard that Dong's family came forward to do the activity, and spent a lot of money."

Zhao Jing sneered, "It seems that in order to save this unworthy son-in-law, the Dong family has bled a lot. If they knew that Chen Xiu jumped the wall in the courtroom and threw all the dirty water on the Dong family, would they know what to do?" How do you feel?"

Yan Wudao: "Chen Xiu is indeed ungrateful, despicable and shameless, it is really not wrong to end up like this. Young Lord, how are you going to punish him?"

"What do you think?" Zhao Jing asked back.

Yan Wu pondered for a while before saying: "After the chamber of commerce made this move, some officials in Jeju County began to lean towards Chen Xiu. I heard that several officials pleaded with Wang Yao in front of him, saying that Chen Xiu had no intentions. For the loss, I hope to be lenient and deal with it lightly."

Zhao Jing looked at Yan Wu and said, "In your opinion, what should we do with this matter?"

"Whether Chen Xiu did it on purpose or not, we actually know. But it is always discovered early. If the goods are replenished in time, it will be a slack fault at best, and a fine of some money will be fined. Besides, Chen Xiu's business and Hu Cai has nothing to do with it, and it is the first time to do business with the army. If we insist on holding on, we will inevitably fall into the shoes of others, and people will say that our lieutenant soldiers are justified by our military exploits. Judging from public opinion Looking up, it’s not good for us.”

It was rare for Yan Wu to be so up-to-date, Zhao Jing nodded and said, "Continue talking."

"Master Hou often said that the way to command an army requires both kindness and power, and a two-pronged approach. His subordinates feel that the same is true for dealing with these businessmen." After receiving the affirmation, Yanwu became more confident, and then said: "People from the Chamber of Commerce are willing to jointly name Chen Xiu begged for mercy. Some of them must have ghosts in their hearts. But the subordinates feel that most of them should be afraid. They have been doing business all year round, and there will inevitably be omissions. If they deal with it strictly every time, no one can guarantee the next bad luck It won't be me."

Zhao Jing took a sip of tea and asked, "Then what do you say about this matter?"

"The subordinates feel that if Chen Xiu is strictly punished at this time, it may put other merchants in danger, and make those real moths be more vigilant. Besides, our visit this time is mainly aimed at the Wang family, Hu Cai and Chen Xiu are just small incidents that we met on the way. If people with ulterior motives use this incident to deliberately incite public opinion and unite all merchants to fight us, it will not be good for us to investigate the case."

Yan Wu paused for a moment, then continued: "According to my subordinates, Hu Cai is enough to kill chickens to scare monkeys. You might as well sell them to the Jeju Chamber of Commerce as a favor. These businessmen seem to be in the same heart now, but because of the imminent disaster, We have to unite the front. Sentencing Chen Xiu lightly can make them relax their vigilance."

"You can do it, kid." Zhao Jing looked at Yan Wu and said with a smile, "Now I have a tenth of your big brother's brains."

After hearing this, Yan Wu only felt a little awkward, "Are you praising me, or are you hurting me?"

"Follow me to the yamen immediately." After taking a few sips of the porridge in the bowl, Zhao Jing wiped his mouth, left the handkerchief on the table, and stood up immediately.

At this time, the yamen was also very lively.

"My lord Wang, Hu Cai deserves what he deserves. There is nothing to say, but Chen Xiu's matter is indeed justifiable." The master of Futai in Jeju County persuaded earnestly: "The lower officials have already investigated clearly. Those boxes of broken ones The fruit was going to be thrown away, but the servants who loaded it were negligent and put it in the wrong place, it was indeed not intentional by Chen Xiu. Although Chen Xiu was at fault in this matter, she would not be guilty of the same crime as Hu Cai."

Hearing Futai's words, Wang Yao frowned deeply.

Chen Xiu is the uncle of the Dong family, and the Dong family has some contacts in Jeju County.After hearing about Chen Xiu's accident, Wang Yao concluded that someone would come to intercede.Although he had the foresight, after coming to Jeju County, he deliberately avoided his family members.However, in order to keep Chen Xiu, the Dong family had obviously exhausted all their strength, and actually united the entire Jeju Chamber of Commerce to fight.After the joint name of the chamber of commerce, many county officials had pleaded with Chen Xiu openly and secretly in front of him.

Although Wang Yao is a Beijing official and handles the case by order, he is at the same level as the Futai after all.In addition, he is low-key and cautious, and it is even more impossible for him to play any official authority.Since Futai made a pleading statement, Wang Yao couldn't directly reject it.

After sending the servants around him out, Wang Yao cupped his hands at Futai and said, "I understand what Master Futai said. You and I are in the same period and entered the court as officials in the same year. I also have a word with Master Futai. We all know what happened to Chen Xiu, even if he was punished lightly, there is nothing wrong with it. But the case involved the military after all, and it was such a big deal. I can only say that Chen Xiu was unlucky. It's really not the time, and it actually collided with Hu Cai's matter."

After a pause, Wang Yao continued: "To tell the truth, my lord, although I came here to investigate Hu Cai, His Majesty still transferred someone from the army to help. A few days ago, he has been with us At the same time, he also knows about Chen Xiu. Although I am helping him, but now he has just returned from victory and has made great contributions to His Majesty. He is now in the limelight. Chen Xiu has to be discussed with him. As long as the army We don’t have any opinions, so it’s easy to discuss. If we arbitrarily acquit Chen Xiu, I’m afraid it will cause dissatisfaction in the army.”

"What does Lord Wang mean?" Lord Futai asked: "This matter requires the consent of the guard next to you?"

Wang Yao hurriedly said: "Oh, my lord Futai, you can't say that. That's not some kind of guard, he is a serious general."

"General!!" Futai was startled.It's not that he didn't pay attention to Zhao Jing, but this person basically followed Wang Yao's side quietly, and usually didn't talk much.Futai thought he was just an ordinary guard.

Thinking of Zhao Jing's face that should not be entered by strangers and his decisive aura, Master Futai shuddered suddenly.He cupped his hands towards Wang Yao and said, "My lord, although I'm on the same level as you, I'm an outsider after all, and I'm not as respectable as a Beijing official like you. What kind of connections does that general who assists you have? He looks quite young, even if he has military merits, in terms of age and seniority, he can't make you, the prime minister's son-in-law, so afraid."

Although Zhao Jing's identity was not disclosed publicly, it was not a secret after all.According to Futai's ability, you can find out with a little effort.Therefore, Wang Yao didn't mind selling him a favor.

"I don't dare to say anything more about this matter." Wang Yao waved his hands again and again, but still gave some hints to the government: "I can only tell you, don't look at that general who is young, but his status is not ordinary. What do you think?" I thought, his surname is Zhao. Zhao is the surname of the country, and now he has made great achievements in the court, and he belongs to the royal family, who else could it be?"

"Surnamed Zhao?!" The complexion of Master Futai changed: "Could it be... Zheng Xihou..."

Wang Yao pressed Master Futai's hand, shook his head silently, indicating that he didn't need to say the following words.

"It has long been heard that Marquis Zhengxi has recognized a adopted son. Although he is called a righteous son, he is actually an illegitimate son left behind by Lord Hou in his early years. I didn't expect it to be... Thank you for reminding me, my lord." He kept his mouth shut, bowed his hands again and again to express his thanks, and he also had some calculations in his heart.

Although Zhao Jing had an extraordinary bearing, he was young after all. After coming to Jeju, Wang Yao dominated everything and never talked much.Although Futai felt that the murderous aura in this person was too strong, which made him uncomfortable, but he didn't take Zhao Jing seriously.Therefore, except for the necessary contact, I never take the initiative to provoke him.Looking at it now, if Zhao Jing is really Zhengxihou Zhao Rui's adopted son in the legend, then he is very likely to become the next Zhengxihou.God suddenly sent such a rich and powerful person before him, so he must go to get close and flatter him.

Just as the Futai had an idea, a servant outside came in to report, "I report to my lords, General Zhao to see me."

"Please come in quickly and order tea." Futai said quickly, his tone unconsciously a little hot.

The servant went down, and not long after, Zhao Jing walked in with big strides.

"General Zhao, please sit down." Seeing Zhao Jing, Futai hurriedly got up to salute.

Hefutai and Wang Yao greeted each other before Zhao Jing sat down.

"I don't know why the general is here today?" Futai asked enthusiastically.

Zhao Jing took a sip of tea and said, "Master Wang and I came here to supervise Hu Cai's affairs. Now that it has come to an end, when will Master Wang return to Beijing to return to his order?"

Look at this tone of voice, and then look at this style, why did you think he was a guard at the beginning?Futai scolded himself a bitch in his heart, blaming himself for not having eyes.

"Although Hu Cai's matter has been resolved, Chen Xiu has not yet been judged." Wang Yao carefully considered and said, "It stands to reason that Chen Xiu and Hu Cai are not together, but the Holy Order ordered the two of us to come here to strictly investigate These unscrupulous fruit merchants. After careful calculation, this matter about Chen Xiu is also the responsibility of this official and the general. Since Chen Xiu was caught by the army generals, I would like to ask the general to show you how to deal with them."

He had heard from Xu Baichuan a long time ago that although Wang Qi's third uncle was deeply appreciated and trusted by the Prime Minister, he was very timid and fearful, and he was extremely cautious in everything he did, for fear of offending others.Now the entire Jeju Chamber of Commerce is jointly petitioning Chen Xiu. If the sentence is heavy, it will offend all the merchants. If the sentence is light, it is afraid of offending the army.It will be troublesome if you don't handle it well. When the time comes, the Holy One will definitely blame him for not doing things well.Wang Yao pushed the matter to himself, probably in order not to offend.

Zhao Jing sneered in his heart, "Wang Yao's wishful thinking is really cracking."
