When Jiang Xuening left the Shuxiang Inn, he finally felt relieved.
From the beginning to the end, she never reported her family, she only asked Ren Weizhi a lot of things, and also chatted with him about the style of Shu, learned about the situation of the salt field, and occasionally mentioned You Fangyin, while secretly observing Ren Weizhi. look.
I have to say that there is a girl named Fangyin, she is stupid, and her intuition is really not bad.
Although he inherited the family business after repeated failures in the imperial examinations, Ren Weizhi was considered a scholar after all.
Don't say it's just a fake marriage, it's enough to be a real husband.
When she was waiting for the carriage again, she looked back at the lamp that was still lit upstairs in the inn, and finally put on a somewhat relaxed smile with sincerity.
However, I went to Jinyiwei's cell to see You Fangyin first, and then went to Shuxiang Inn to talk to Ren Weizhi. There was a lot of delay on the way. When I returned to Jiang's house, it was already dark.
Jiang Boyu and Meng Shi were anxiously waiting in the room.
The servants in the house carried the lantern all the way to send Jiang Xuening to the front of the house, she walked in, first bowed to confess the crime, and said, "My daughter did something on the way, and she came back very late, which made her parents worry."
Meng Shi opened his mouth to say something.
But he didn't think that Jiang Boyu would get ahead of him, and said: "The matter of Yongyi Hou's mansion has just happened, and the government has even arrested a group of chaotic parties of the Heavenly Sect. Now no one in the capital dares to go out. Strolling outside, what are you talking about!"
Jiang Xuening lowered his eyes and said nothing.
Meng Shi sighed, but his attitude towards Jiang Xuening was unusually pleasant, and he actually persuaded Jiang Boyu: "There are such big things in the palace and outside the palace, you are not too scared, don't scare the children at this moment. Don't you say you want to ask about the situation in the palace?"
Jiang Boyou just gave up.
He also waited for a long time for Jiang Xuening not to return, and was a little anxious to get angry, but he didn't mean to scold her, so he quickly calmed down and asked her what was going on in the palace.
The first is to dismiss the companion reading;
The second is to leave Jiang Xuehui alone.
Both Jiang Boyu and Meng Shi knew that there was a big happy event in the palace. Wen Jieyu of Phixiang Hall was pregnant and was promoted to Wen Zhaoyi. They also heard that Jiang Xuehui was rewarded for her meritorious service, but they were not clear about the specific details and why.
Jiang Xuening then described the scenes in the plum garden at that time.
Including the fact that Yao Xi was unlucky later, Jiang Xuehui was rewarded and also got Wen Zhaoyi's blue eyes.
Jiang Boyou said: "It may not be a good thing."
Meng Shi also sighed: "Mu Xiu will be destroyed by Lin Feng, it's a bit eye-catching."
Jiang Xuening thought to himself that you guys underestimate Jiang Xuehui's ability.
It's just that she thought so in her heart, but she didn't say it.
Jiang Boyu shook his head and said, "I would rather she be fine and return home like Ning Jie'er. In this troubled season, the palace is intrigued, and if she can hurt someone once, she can hurt someone twice. How do you know it won't be Sister Hui's turn next time?"
Meng Shi frowned.
But she thought a little more openly, saying: "Sister Hui has been more cautious since she was a child, and she can only think that Empress Zhaoyi's child is particularly important to the sage, and the whole palace will not dare to slack off. The sage has dismissed her companions for this, Xiao Xiao The generation may not have a chance to take advantage. If Empress Zhaoyi gives birth to a dragon child someday, and Sister Hui can win the concubine’s green eyes, it can be regarded as a pursuit of wealth and honor. Where in the world is there a pie that is left in vain?”
Jiang Xuening thought to himself, that's exactly the reason.
But maybe she didn't speak for a while, and she seemed a little silent, which made people mistakenly think that she was sour and depressed.
Meng Shi actually comforted her in turn: "But Ning Jie'er, don't be discouraged, there is an accident in Yongyi Hou's mansion. After all, our two mansions have secretly talked about a marriage contract, Ning Jie'er, it's better for you to keep a low profile. You have the same honor and disgrace. Sister Hui is in front of you, and you can benefit from it in the future."
Although Meng Shi did not like Ning Jie'er's past behavior, it was Ning Jie'er who was able to enter the palace. She still remembered that she was Jiang Xuening's biological mother, so she would not be too fond of one another.
What's more, at such a difficult time
One door is up and down, one is prosperous, and one is damaged. You must not be distracted at this time.
Jiang Xuening looked up at her strangely.
In the end, the Meng family put the honor and disgrace of one discipline first.
Being so kind to herself, if she had been in the previous life, her heart might have softened, and her eyes would have turned red. But after having experienced life and death, and walking past the gate of hell, Jiang Xuening actually felt that she didn't have any deep feelings. It seemed that whether Meng Shi was good or bad to her, it was difficult for her to have any deeper emotional fluctuations.
What's more, it's just such a painless relief
She replied flatly, "Yes."
Jiang Boyu looked at her expression, saw her indifference, and sighed in his heart, but he couldn't say anything. Instead, he remembered something, and turned to Meng Shi and said, "I have something to explain to Ning girl alone, you Go back to your room and rest."
Meng Shi was stunned for a moment.
Is there anything you can't say in front of her
Suddenly there was a little dissatisfaction in her heart, but Jiang Boyu said it, so she had to suppress the unhappiness in her heart, and left to go back to the room first.
After she left, Jiang Xuening raised his head and looked at Jiang Boyou.
Without Jiang Bo's lobbying, she knew what was going on.
At this time, my heart beat faster for no reason, and I only asked: "Is the matter that you entrusted to your father already done?"
"The few boxes of things you gave me last time were valuable, but they were too hasty, so it was inevitable that they would take the opportunity to lower the price. As a father, I didn't want to sell the old good things of the Hou Mansion at a low price, so I just dealt with them. Half. The other half I asked the accountant to carry into our treasury, and after calculating the mid-payment, I took 18,000 taels from the house and bought it from the house at a discount."
Jiang Boyu brought a box and put it in front of Jiang Xuening.
"A total of 30,000 taels, look, they're all here."
Thirty thousand two.
You must know that if the entire Qingyuan Uncle Mansion is emptied, I am afraid that it may not be able to take out 30,000 taels immediately.
It is evident how much Yan Lin has given her over the years.
Jiang Xuening opened the box, and a little bit, there were 1000 taels of silver notes of the same color, a thick stack of 30 pieces.
She said in a low voice, "Father is bothered."
Jiang Boyou said: "Yongyi Hou's mansion also has old friends with us. If we can help some, we will help some. It's just that the case of Hou's mansion will soon be handed over to the three divisions for tribunal. ,I am afraid… "
Jiang Xuening said: "There are a lot of daughters, so they won't mess around."
Although she said that, Jiang Boyu did feel that she had become more determined in recent days, and even in official words, it was...
The city is deeper.
He said that this time Wen Zhaoyi was in the Plum Garden in the palace, he just listened to Ning girl's words and felt that she had seen through the situation early, but he didn't interfere, and he didn't want to show the limelight.
But he still couldn't help worrying about what happened in the courtroom.
At the moment, Jiang Xuening was unavoidably told a few words, afraid that something would happen to her alone with such a large sum of money.
Jiang Xuening responded one by one again. This time, it wasn't that she didn't take Jiang Boyou's words to heart. On the contrary, she knew that Jiang Boyou's warnings were all right.
The case of the Marquis of Yongyi will be tried by the three divisions, and the holy superintendent will supervise the case. How can it be so easy to clear the joints
If you accidentally make a mistake, your head will fall to the ground.
It's just that the imperial court has never been monolithic. There are always gaps. If you look carefully and not carefully, you can find it.
In terms of news, I am afraid that there will never be another person who is more knowledgeable than the current Zheng Bao, but she is outside the palace, and it is inconvenient to communicate with the palace.
Outside the palace, there is only Zhou Yinzhi.
After Jiang Xuening took the money from Jiang Boyu, he posted the 3,000 taels of the piano and went in, with a total of 33,000 taels of silver. The next day, he went to Zhou Yinzhi to inquire about the current situation of the Yongyi Hou Mansion.
Although Zhou Yinzhi was already a thousand households of Jinyiwei, he could only smile bitterly at this time, and said: "The case has been handed over to the third division, and Jinyiwei has only the authority to interrogate prisoners with the Criminal Department, but it is impossible to interrogate the above matters. What's more. The position of a thousand households is also too low. At most, he can enter the prison and take care of the second girl, but he can't take care of everything. Moreover, the original Zheng Shangshu of the Ministry of Punishment left his post, and Gu Chunfang, the former Censor of Henan Province, just two days ago. When he took office, Jin Yiwei and the Ministry of Punishment were pressed too hard by this person to fight for power, and I am afraid that there will not be many opportunities to intervene in this case."
The "three divisions" of the three divisions' joint trial refer to the Ministry of Punishment, Dali Temple, and Inspectors.
There is no Jinyiwei here.
Whenever someone from Jinyiwei wants to stretch out their hand, they will be criticized by the three judicial justices, which can be said to be difficult to do.
Jiang Xuening said, "Yongyi Hou's family has a great business, and there are countless things that have been stolen. Now the evidence should be sorted out. Although you can't intervene, people from the three judicial divisions are entering and leaving the prison more often. Please pay attention to whether there is anything. weirdo."
If she remembered correctly, the Yongyi Hou Mansion case was very strange.
In the beginning, the correspondence between Hou's residence and King Pingnan against the party was found, in fact, it was for the son of Dingfei, who might have been lying in the righteous boy's grave twenty years ago. There was an extra letter. This letter was written by Yan Mu to the rebels of the Heavenly Sect. The letter actually mentioned that he would secretly support the Heavenly Sect and was willing to incorporate the Heavenly Sect members into the army.
As soon as the letter came out, it was immediately called a mountain of ironclad evidence.
The whole family was cut in half, and they were exiled for thousands of miles. When they arrived in the smoky land of Baiyue, there were not many civil and military people in the whole dynasty who dared to speak for them.
Why did this letter appear after half a month
Why was Yan Mu's letter to the rebels of the Heavenly Sect copied from his home
Besides, it is not particularly fast to search homes, but it is definitely not slow either.
If this letter was copied early in the morning, it should have been delivered to the emperor.
Jiang Xuening didn't know what happened in the middle, but if there was an opportunity in the middle, but she missed the opportunity because she thought there was no chance, she must regret it.
That's why I explained to Zhou Yinzhi.
Although Zhou Yinzhi didn't understand why she would say such a thing, the thought flashed in his mind, and he remembered that she was sitting in the hall that day and revealed his hidden thoughts, and that vague and unfathomable feeling reappeared. in mind.
This second girl seems to be more and more difficult.
Zhou Yinzhi didn't know who was behind her, but the more this happened, the less he dared to neglect her.
After returning to Jinyiwei Yamen, he seemed to live inside and outside the Tianjing prison, and went around every now and then.
Often encounter people from the Ministry of Justice.
For example, Gu Chunfang, or Zhang Zhe, the head of the Ministry of Punishment and Officials Division, whom Gu Chunfang trusted.
The people from the Three Law Divisions are naturally not used to Jin Yiwei, but there is no reason to drive him away. They just think that Jin Yiwei wants to intervene in the middle of the matter, and there is a lot of irony in their rude words.
Zhou Yinzhi didn't care either.
In this way, it didn't take long for him to discover such a strange person: it seemed to be a small official under the Ministry of Punishment, who often followed him around the prison, and his eyes always looked at the people in the prison, as if he was in prison. planning something.
Zhou Yinzhi observed for two consecutive days, and finally felt that this person was really a ghost.
On the third day, he found an opportunity to block the man directly in the alley, and pressed the knife to the opponent's neck.
Under the intimidation, he really asked about a crucial matter!
Not to mention, after secretly controlling people and locking them in his own mansion, Zhou Yinzhi visited Jiang Xuening overnight and said, "The arrest of a person is the secret line of the Heavenly Sect buried in the government's mansion, and what kind of 'Mr. Gongyi' order was obtained, Looking for an opportunity, I presented a letter to the Ministry of Punishment, saying that this letter would make the Hou Mansion doom forever. But these days, the 'Mr. Gongyi' suddenly lost news and contacted him many times but did not respond, which made him panic. He himself was very afraid that something happened to Mr. Gongyi, but he didn't dare to speak up. With this letter, he became greedy. He wanted to use this to extort a sum of money from the Hou Mansion, and he would leave when he got the job done. Deeds, caught by me."
Jiang Xuening's scalp exploded when he heard it!
In the case of Yongyi Houfu, there is actually a shadow of the heavenly religion, and even the famous "Mr. Gongyi" is involved!
only…
Such an important person, there is no news on the way, what is going on
Her pupils tightened slightly, and she really couldn't care less about it. She took a deep breath and asked directly, "Have you got the letter?"
If you can get this letter, it will definitely be a huge turning point!
