King Ning couldn't miss the opportunity to show him his achievements.
So what if the Cai family is relatives-in-law, but not their own sons.
To cover up the crime and massacre the village, this is a big case.
If King Ning missed a great opportunity to make achievements because of his daughter-in-law's face, then he is not King Ning.
King Ning returned to the mansion, and after learning about the situation, he ordered a strict investigation into the matter.
And arrange people to guard Xu's strictly to prevent someone from jumping over the wall in a hurry.
Early the next morning, Chang En took Mrs. Xu to report to the police and officially file the case.
After receiving the report, the Jinwu Guards did not dare to delay, and hurried into the palace to ask the emperor for instructions.
The Son of Heaven thinks life is boring, so such an appalling case needs to be thoroughly investigated.
Relevant people, etc., all arrested.
Even after twenty years, a murderer cannot be let go.
The Jin Wuwei got the emperor's warrant and started the case without any scruples. First, they sent people to surround Cai's mansion, and then took the list to search for people all over the city.
Most of the soldiers who followed General Cai to Wuzhou to quell the chaos were from Gyeonggi.
This saved Jin Wuwei's time.
The Cai family committed a crime, and the hearts of the people in the capital were in turmoil, and everyone was shocked and uncertain.
Isn't the Cai family the in-laws of Prince Ning's mansion
A few days ago, because King Ning was established as the heir apparent, the Cai family had an excuse to hold a banquet to celebrate.
Why in the blink of an eye, he was surrounded by Jin Wuwei.
Which god did the Cai family offend, or did the prince have an accident
"Naturally, it was the Cai family who committed the wrath of the heavens. The prince personally sent someone to report the case, and the emperor ordered the Jinwu guards to investigate strictly."
"The Cai family is Chujun's in-laws, and they actually reported the case in person? Did Chujun even ignore his in-laws?"
"The crown prince is the future emperor, so what about the in-laws, if you make a mistake, you still can't escape."
"I heard that 20 years ago, General Cai led troops to quell the chaos. In order to cover up the crimes of his soldiers, he massacred villages one after another, planted thieves, and got away with it."
"To massacre the village? It's so appalling and devoid of conscience, the Cai family will suffer a terrible death."
"Who said no."
"The crown prince killed his relatives righteously. He is worthy of being the crown prince appointed by His Majesty, who is dedicated to the people."
With the uncovering of the case twenty years ago, King Ning gained a wave of favor in the hearts of the common people.
Ning Wang is very proud.
"Hahaha... The king was worried that he had nowhere to go, so the Cai family came to give him the head. The Cai family is really a good in-law."
Chang En pursed her lips and smiled, "My lord is as blessed as the heavens."
King Ning was overjoyed.
Since King Ning was established as the crown prince, he has been supervising the country as the crown prince and managing the government with the courtiers.
However, in the court hall, King Ning always had the feeling of punching cotton and having nowhere to start.
The courtiers respected him, and they only respected him like a Bodhisattva.
He is not allowed to interfere in the serious government affairs.
If he wants to intervene, the courtiers always have various reasons to refuse, and even move out the emperor.
The majestic prince was reduced to a carrot, and King Ning was very depressed.
I have been trying to find a breakthrough, but I have nowhere to start.
When he was depressed, Liu Zhao sent him a great opportunity to attack the Cai family and wipe out the Ministry of War, the Ministry of Punishment, and the Political Affairs Hall.
King Ning will be refreshed now, as long as the Cai family's case can be handled solidly, it will be seen who will dare to obey the law and violate the law from now on.
King Ning was in a good mood, "This king wants to reward the boss, you go to the warehouse to pick some good things and send them to the East Courtyard."
"The old slave complies. It's just the third son and third wife, what should I do?"
"Don't worry about them for now. After this case is over, it won't be too late to take care of Mrs. Cai."
"The old slave knows."
Chang En picked out several expensive gifts in the warehouse and delivered them to the East Courtyard in person.
Liu Zhao was not there, Gu Jiu accepted the gift and kept Chang En to drink a cup of tea.
"Our family has been busy working with the prince recently, and it's rare that we can sit down and have a cup of tea when we have time. This is still in the honor of the eldest son."
Gu Jiu smiled lightly, "It's an honor for me and my son to invite Eunuch Chang to drink tea. The case of the Cai family is not easy."
Chang En smiled knowingly, knowing that Gu Jiu would bring up the case of the Cai family.
"It's really difficult. After all, it has been 20 years. Many insiders are gone, or scattered in all directions, and they can't be found all at once."
"Oh, is Eunuch Chang looking for witnesses from back then?"
"Exactly."
Gu Jiu laughed, "I have a way."
"Madam, is there a way to find the witnesses from that year?"
Gu Jiu said: "Eunuch Chang also knows that I have done some business outside, and I know some merchants from all over the world. It is almost the end of the year, and many merchants will return to their hometowns for the New Year before the Weishui freezes. .
It's better for the government to issue an official document, saying that they are looking for witnesses who slaughtered the village in Wuzhou 20 years ago, and these businessmen will bring them back and spread the news all over the world.
Come to think of it, if the witnesses from back then were still alive and got the news, they would definitely show up. As long as the local government cooperates and sends the witnesses to the capital, by the spring of next year, perhaps a dozen or twenty witnesses can be found. "
After Chang En listened, he laughed, "Ma'am, this method is not bad. It saves money, effort and trouble. Even if you don't find witnesses for a piece of official document, it doesn't take much trouble. If you can find a few witnesses, it will solve a big problem for the prince. .”
Gu Jiu pursed her lips and smiled, "I'm just relying on the strength of the merchants."
"It's said that Madam is the best at using strength to fight, and she really lives up to her reputation. Our family admires it!"
"Eunuch Chang is polite. I am very happy to help Eunuch Chang. There is another matter. I need to trouble Eunuch Chang."
"Madam, please tell me. You have helped our family, and our family should reciprocate."
"Mr. Chang's words are serious. I want to ask, is there any movement on the establishment of a county outside the South City Gate?"
Chang En frowned, "Ma'am, are you sure there is a county outside the south gate?"
Gu Jiu nodded, "I'm sure. His Majesty personally agreed to this matter."
Chang En's heart moved, if there were counties outside the South City Gate, the prince could take the opportunity to intervene in the operation of the household department.
This is a good opportunity.
Chang En said with a smile: "Our family will pay attention to this matter for Madam, and if there is any news, our family will send someone to inform Madam as soon as possible."
"Thank you, Eunuch Chang, this is the best candidate for the magistrate in my mind to set up a county magistrate outside the South City Gate."
Gu Jiu pushed Gu Yu Gu's fourth brother's resume to Chang En.
Chang En raised her eyebrows, it seemed that Gu Jiu was well prepared.
"What do you mean madam?"
Gu Jiu said: "Your Majesty is seriously ill and cannot be in charge. If there is a county outside the south gate, it will be an opportunity for my father. I don't dare to ask too much, I just want this person to be placed in the position of the county magistrate of the newly established county. Cooperate with me in continuing the project outside the South City Gate."
Chang En hesitated for a moment, then opened the resume, "This Gu Yu, is Madam's clan brother?"
"Exactly. Eunuch Chang, please take care of me."
Chang En thought about it for a while before saying: "If the prince can really win this job, our family will definitely help Madam mediate in it, and push Mr. Gu to the position of county magistrate."
Gu Jiu was overjoyed, "Thank you, Eunuch Chang."
Gu Jiu personally sent Eunuch Chang out of the East Courtyard.
She couldn't believe the emperor, she was afraid that the emperor would bully her in the end.
When King Ning supervised the country as the crown prince, Gu Jiu's thoughts changed.
To ensure that Gu Yu can successfully assume the post of county magistrate, he must recruit more people.
Chang En is an excellent choice.
Liu Zhao may not be able to convince King Ning.
But Chang En must have a way to convince King Ning.
…
Some people are happy and some are sad.
Master Gu has been very worried for the past two days.
If King Ning didn't make a move, he would use his in-laws to sacrificially sacrifice the flag, scaring him half to death.
He is also Prince Ning's in-law, and the bottom of his buttocks is also unclean.
What if King Ning came to clean up Cai's house after cleaning up Cai's house
Mr. Gu was in a state of panic, fortunately he wanted to keep his filial piety, and he didn't have to go to the yamen as an errand, so he avoided showing his guilty side in front of others.
"Prince Ning is not a good stubble."
Master Gu muttered.
The housekeeper Gu Quan said: "King Ning is supervising the country as a prince, and moving the Cai family is actually killing chickens to scare monkeys."
"I understand this truth. It is precisely because I understand that I feel uneasy in my heart. King Ning will not let go of his in-laws, which shows his cruelty. Originally, I thought that when King Ning ascended the throne, I would also be able to Follow Zhanguang. Now it seems that, not to mention Zhanguang, you should be thankful if you can not recruit Jinwuwei."
Mr. Gu was worried.
The housekeeper Gu Quan comforted him: "Master, don't worry. The Cai family is the Cai family, and the Gu family is the Gu family. The girl from the Cai family married the third son of the concubine of the royal family. Our girl married the eldest son of the royal family.
One from the concubine, one from the concubine, their status and status are very different. The master's status in King Ning's heart is naturally higher than that of the Cai family. King Ning will definitely not take action against the master easily. "
Lord Gu frowned, "I hope so. No, I still have to write a letter to Xiaojiu, asking her to test King Ning's attitude. Otherwise, I will not be at ease."
The housekeeper Gu Quan asked, "How should I write this letter?"
Mr. Gu said: "I will think about it later."
A young servant knocked on the door and came in, "Report to the master, Aunt Tan and Aunt Chun are having a fight again, the wife doesn't care about anything, ask the little one to report to the master, please make a decision."
When Mr. Gu heard the words, he rushed forward angrily.
Aunt Tan and Aunt Chun have been against each other from the very beginning, and they even have to fight to get pregnant.
The two became pregnant one after another, but miscarried one after another. If there are no ghosts in this, ghosts will not believe it.
Whether it was Aunt Tan who hurt Aunt Chun, or Aunt Chun who hurt Aunt Tan, or whether the two hurt each other, Mr. Gu didn't bother to care.
He has so many children, and it is not uncommon for his two aunts to add children to him.
It's okay to be born, and it's okay to have an abortion, that's the attitude.
I thought that after the miscarriage, these two people should stop, but they didn't expect that the quarrel would get worse.
Mrs. Xie also put her hands aside and pushed everything to Mr. Gu's side.
Mrs. Gu was very annoyed, "Go and tell your wife, don't occupy the latrine. As a wife, it is her duty to take care of the inner house and control the concubine's room. If she doesn't even keep her duty, then she will hurry up Make room for those who are capable.”
Hearing this, the boy was terrified.
The housekeeper coughed twice and reminded: "Master, have you forgotten? Because of the matter of the third aunt, my wife has been sick for several days. It is understandable that the body is too heavy to be able to manage."
Master Gu frowned, "Worrying about a married woman all day long, I think she has lost her mind. Forget it, forget it, you go for me and beat the two aunts. If you dare to make a fuss, I will give it all to you Go to the Buddhist hall and kneel."
Just as Gu Quan was about to take orders to leave, the concierge came to report again, "Master, no, it's not good. The Prince Chu's Mansion sent someone to call, and asked our mansion to send some people to bring Sangu Grandma back."
"What's going on? What did Gu Yue do again? What exactly does Chu Wangfu want to do?"
One after another, without stopping, Mr. Gu was in an extremely irritable mood.
"I don't know about the small ones. The Chu Palace just sent someone to pass on the message, and then left. The Chu Palace said that they will pick up people in the afternoon, and prepare two extra cars."
"absurd!"
Mr. Gu was furious.
Gu Quan said: "My lord, why don't you send someone to Chu Wang's mansion to ask if something happened?"
Mr. Gu nodded, "Ask Gu Yu to come for me. He has nothing to do recently, so he happened to go to Chu Palace to inquire about news."
"Young one, send someone to invite Master Gu Yu."
…
Chu Palace.
Gu Yue's wound has healed, but his body is still very weak, and he needs to recuperate for three to five months to recover.
She leaned against the head of the bed, her face pale.
The woman in charge opened and closed her lips, she could no longer hear what the other party was saying.
At this moment, she was still shocked by the news that the prince drove her out of the mansion and couldn't recover.
The woman in charge was still nagging, but Gu Yue opened her mouth to interrupt her, "I don't believe the prince will drive me out of the mansion. The princess must have done it behind the prince's back, right? You lowly maid, I am a dignified palace Liang Di, what right do you have to drive me out of the palace. Get out, get out."
The woman in charge smiled contemptuously, "Di Liang really knows how to joke. For such a big matter, without the consent of the prince, can my princess drive you away at will? You don't even think about it yourself, what have you done, and what kind of reputation do you have? If you dare to stay in the palace, do you really think that the palace is a good hall?"
