Jia Minqi's family in the Red Chamber

The news was naturally sent by Han Qi.

It is said that it is a dream to kill criminals in the prison of the Hangzhou government government without anyone noticing.

Before Han Qi went to the governor's yamen to report the news, he had already interrogated a group of subordinates and cell leaders, and soon found out who did it - but this "behind the scenes", that is, his deputy Hangzhou Fucheng, It wasn't something he could handle, so he immediately went out to ask Shangfeng for help, which was actually a complaint, but he didn't expect that there was a bigger matter waiting for him at the Governor's Yamen.

Master Sun Er ran away by himself, colluded with him for many years, took an unknown amount of black-hearted money, even the officials who took their lives on their backs, and how should the families behind them deal with themselves?

At this time, they will be caught without a fight...not necessarily a majority.Knowing that he must die, he naturally wanted to fight for a while.In fact, after looking back, Governor Jiang and Lin Hai and the others felt that it was a bit... ill-considered for the sixth prince to take people out to sea in a hurry.

But after seeing the second prince and listening to the second prince's enlightenment, he immediately regained his energy: if you can be a soldier for the Holy One, you will never give it in vain.

He came out of the governor's yamen, hurried back to his territory, and immediately ordered people to beat drums and order soldiers.

Standing on the stage, he glanced around the energetic and upright men, and then said loudly, "Sun Er is gone, and his relatives and friends can't escape! He has been in Hangzhou for so many years. Sin, it's our turn to pay back!"

Besieging and raiding the families of these criminals is enough to make a lot of money for the commanders and officers.

The commander looked at the happy brothers in front of him, and said solemnly, "You don't have to hold back against those people, but if you let me know who moved the people and those who have nothing to do with the Sun family, I will take their heads with my own hands." !"

"Yes!" The sergeant shouted loudly.

Of course, before his subordinates dispatched, they had to say hello to Han Qi, the prefect of Hangzhou—although he had already been appointed as an imperial envoy, procedures were essential.

As the former personal soldier of the Holy Majesty, this commander is not unruly, but has been cautious for many years as a general in Zhejiang, but it is precisely because of his cautiousness that Mr. Sun has not taken him very seriously. .Sun Er's cronies also regarded this commander as a fool, and they didn't shy away from him very much.

So it shouldn't be too easy for him to collect evidence!He didn't think it was "troublesome", and recorded every account in his own little book.

Now he still can't deal with the prince's little uncle, Sun Er, but all those shrimp soldiers and crab generals have fallen into his hands!It's not bad to be able to turn the grievance into gold and silver anyway.

The several districts where the common people lived in Hangzhou were all inspected by the servants of the Hangzhou government, while the North City, where rich and powerful businessmen gathered, was quietly taken over by the commander of the capital.

Master Sun Er ran away, and no matter how dull he was, he came to his senses when all the sergeants in the commander's division were dispatched.

Without the "backer" of Sun Er, when Qing knew that the sins he had committed were beyond redemption, men who were a bit responsible all hanged themselves or died after taking medicine-at least don't drag the family down.

The commander of such a family heard that they sent three or five people to watch the gate and the back door, and they didn't make things difficult.

But those who have a hot brain and insist on fighting...he is not polite: the time has come for brothers to make a fortune!

So overnight, the city of Hangzhou was completely peaceful - if it wasn't for the fact that the guards walking on the street didn't even have a smile on their faces the next day, the people wouldn't even know what happened.

This day Lin Hai had a good night's sleep, had breakfast without rushing, and went to the Yamen as usual.

Jia Min rubbed the two sons who had just woken up, and then saw Brother Piao - the brat got bigger and skinier, the situation in Hangzhou was unclear a few days ago, and he was bored at home.

Before going out today, the master specially asked that, in order to reassure the hearts of the people, let Zhugeer take Daiyu and Suigeer out for a stroll.

Jia Min pinched his son's small shoulders first, and gave careful instructions: go out and listen to your sister, don't run around, don't let your masters stay more than five steps away from you.

The riding and archery masters Lin Hai invited for his children and the servants who are now guarding the home are all veterans who have seen blood, so they are naturally trustworthy.

Jia Min usually doesn't restrict her son very much, but if her son refuses to listen to her rare instructions, that brat will have to wait for his father's big slap that night.Brother Sui suffered a loss once or twice, and now he is very obedient.

When she finished speaking, Hongwen lifted the curtain: Jia Zhu and Daiyu came together.

Jia Min had his daughter in one hand and his son in the other, talking to his nephew with a smile on his face, "Brother Zhu took my sisters and brothers out for a stroll, and pay more attention to what's going on in the market."

Jia Zhu replied, "Don't worry, aunt, my nephew just invited one or two friends to drink tea and chat."

Uncle has already revealed that he will not tolerate the Sun family this time, so those who have made a lot of money in the examination room will not be spared from the crime.

Jia Zhu also happened to "drop in" to inquire. He didn't go to watch these people's doors, but to meet his friends, especially those who were well-informed, and listen to what these educated scholars with permanent property have to say. So I can tell my uncle and aunt.

Seeing her mother nodding her head, Daiyu asked, "Can I call Sister Miaoyu too?"

Jia Min smiled and said, "Of course."

Daiyu turned to Jia Zhu and said, "Brother Zhu, let's pick up Sister Miaoyu first."

After a while, Daiyu held her elder brother Zhu's arm, and brother Sui hugged his sister's arm, and the three of them went out together.

Seeing his wife's gratified face, Hong Wen and the big girls also came to make fun of him, "Uncle Zhu is falling for our girl's own brother."

Who doesn't know if the wife can't get along with her natal second sister-in-law?But the wife has never angered her nephews and nieces.

Jia Min said: "People come from different places, besides, I can't live without Brother Zhu these days."

In a few days, Brother Zhu will return to Beijing to attend Yuanchun's wedding, and Jia Min has something for him to take back with him personally, and he has to take some words back with him to make people feel at ease.

However, it was said that the second prince visited the Governor’s Yamen in person yesterday, and had a frank and honest conversation with Governor Jiang Lin Hai and others for two full hours, and then he made a decision: no matter what the final result, he and the sixth younger brother took all these responsibilities, and those involving fraud in the examination room Don't let anyone go, the vacant seats will be shared...according to credit.

The second prince's words were resounding, and Lin Hai and the others were finally able to go home and rest easily.

In fact, after being bought by Mr. Sun Er, the Xuezheng who served two consecutive terms in the past, he cheated more carefully: he would accept money from children who were half-baked, and he would also adjust his ranking, such as moving the middle-level ones to the first place. Mention... Generally speaking, they have done these things, but after the rankings are released, there will not be too much controversy. They don't dare to go too far for the real young talents who became famous at a young age.

So after so many years, there were occasional discussions among scholars, but nothing major happened.

It's just that during the more than ten years that Sun Er colluded with the two academics and politicians, those scholars who got through the "back door" went one step further and got promoted. A huge network...

As a result, the Sun family's influence and connections in the south of the Yangtze River also went from a gentry to an official.

This is why Lin Hai and Zhou Li produced evidence of years of fraud—it has to be said that doing bad things is stressful.

It's not just about cheating, but also the suspicion of forming a party, a big case that will definitely kill your head... There are many people who want to leave a way out for themselves.

In the past ten years or so, several people have carefully kept accounts in order to leave a way out, and kept accounts every time they received money.

Summarizing the accounts of several people, we can piece together the approximate scale of the fraud. In addition, the inspector is not a freelancer. Over the years, he has collected many clues about the Sun family. Although it may not lead to where the Sun family is, it may Scary enough.

So all these evidences were placed in front of the second prince. After spending most of the night, he finally finished reading these thin booklets carefully.

Father has tolerated Sun's family for so many years, and the ones he raised are definitely not moths, maybe they can be regarded as dragons!Let the Sun family find a good opportunity, is there still a tendency to crack the earth and seal the king?

Think about the caravan of the Sun family. According to the cronies sent back by the sixth brother, regardless of the quality of the soldiers, the ships~big~cannons alone are no worse than the Dudu's Mansion guarding the two rivers!

Father, what do you think when you see this?

This time the Sun family committed suicide this time, and it saved me the energy to fabricate accusations.

The second prince felt somewhat elated just waiting for his revenge to be avenged, but he hadn't been complacent for a long time...then the wind picked up, and after a quarter of an hour it became a gale...

The sixth brother is still at sea!

The second prince was still a little sensible, knowing that his body would definitely be holding him back at this time, so he could only order someone to go out to deliver the order with a pale face.By the time the Commander arrived, it was already pouring rain outside...

Commander Du is also a fierce general who has fought several times on the battlefield, but now his legs are a little weak: in this weather, in case of bad luck... the sixth prince has something good or bad... it's better to let grandson Two get involved!

Complaining at this time is useless, the second prince can only order the commander to take people to the pier to wait for news.Unexpectedly, as soon as he gave the order, and as soon as the commander retreated, a thunderstorm made his ears ring. After a few breaths, he came back to his senses, and the housekeeper, whose shoulders were wet, bowed and stood in front of him.

"King Su is back."

This sentence really works better than anything else!The second prince instantly regained his spirits.

At this time, the sixth prince strode into the room, and without being polite to his brother, he took off his cloak and hat, cupped his hands at his brother, and sat down, "The legs are numb, as if they were frozen. .”

Even though it is raining cats and dogs, Hangzhou is still not cold.The sixth prince just encountered wind and waves on the boat, and his legs and arms were strained for too long, resulting in stiff and sore limbs.

Taking advantage of his brother looking up, the second prince saw a few scratches on his forehead, and before he could say a word of concern, he heard his brother complain, "Sun Er's luck is really good!"

The second prince patted his younger brother on the shoulder, and said sincerely, "You can return safely, your luck is stronger than him." As he said that, he quickly sent someone to send an order to the commander: don't bother, the sixth prince returned safely.

The sixth prince waited for the second elder brother to finish his orders, and then said, "Forget it, it's because I was greedy for merit. Every other line is like a mountain, and I have to work harder here in the navy."

The second prince said, "Go and have a rest." After a pause, he smiled again, "The Rong family also has a few boats on the sea, if you really catch Sun Er, it will be difficult to deal with it."

The second brother is right.In case Sun Er was caught, the prince's elder brother sent a letter asking him to silence him or release him. It would be very difficult to listen or not to listen.

The sixth prince nodded, then got up to say goodbye, "To tell the truth, my brother is also exhausted."

But he said that when he returned to his courtyard, the sixth prince was busy taking a bath and changing clothes, and then summoned the staff who kept his hands to talk, anyway, he didn't look for him that night, nor did he call Baochai to serve him.

Until Yinger came to report that the lights in the prince's room had gone out, Baochai didn't know whether to be lucky or disappointed.

She received a letter from her father during the day: the parents wrote several pages, but the last page suddenly went uncharacteristically and repeatedly mentioned the name of her companion.

Baochai called the companion to him for questioning. The companion knelt on the ground and said in a very soft voice, "My uncle is an official, and the Sun family has contributed. At least [-]% of the money my wife sent to my uncle in the past few years went into the house." into the mansion of Master Sun Er."
