Stepping on the afterglow of the setting sun, Qihao arrived at Baihuayuan.
When Yun Qing saw Qi Hao, he smiled and said, "A Hao, you came just right, and I have discussed with your mother to go to Cangyan Mountain tomorrow." Cangyan Mountain is not far from the capital, and can be home before the new year.
Qi Hao smiled and said, "Okay." The two of them are in good physical condition and full of energy. It's good to go for a walk.
Yuxi saw that Qi Hao was in a good mood, and asked, "But the Jiangnan case was solved?" Jingcheng has been calm recently, and nothing has happened.
Qi Hao smiled and nodded: "Not yet. However, Ayou will be caught by the black face and the nigger, who has escaped for more than ten years." The court has not given up on hunting the two men, but unfortunately the two men disappeared. The court wanted to catch it, but couldn't start.
Yuxi nodded and said, "It's very clever, it's hard to be found hidden in Yangzhou."
"Mother, you definitely don't know. That black face alias Rong Tongji is a well-known salt merchant in Yangzhou. In this salt smuggling case, this Rong Tongji is the biggest suspect." If it weren't for Qiyou's ability to never forget, The identity of this person will never be exposed.
Yun Qing said with a black face: "A bandit has invested to become a well-known local salt merchant. It is really capable."
Yuxi also felt that this person was bold enough to hide his name in a backward place like Ajia Village, and even dared to change his name and change his surname to appear in front of the world. But it’s normal to think about it. How can a person like this accustomed to enjoy life in the deep mountains and forests: "The people behind him must be found out. If I guess right, this person won’t benefit from him. He squeezed the handle." The person behind the scenes must be in officialdom. If such people are not eliminated, they will be harmed to the people in the future.
Qi Haoen said, "Mother, I believe Ayou will be able to find out." He was very confident of Qiyou.
After a pause, Qi Hao said to Yuxi: "Mother, after this case, I want to promote Qiyou as the Shangshu of the Criminal Department." Being a servant of the Criminal Department can pick up a man, but the affairs of the Penal Department are busy. Although Qiyou is lazy, but has a strong sense of responsibility, he must be able to do well if he is really allowed to serve as the official book of the Criminal Ministry.
Yun Qing has no opinion. His son is so capable, even a book from the criminal ministry can't be bothered by him.
Yuxi shook his head and said, "Although Ayou is capable, he is too young. If you let him be the official book of the Criminal Ministry, the ruling and opposition parties will definitely think you are cronyism."
Qi Hao didn't care what his subjects thought, and he didn't like Meng Xuemin, who was calm and stable, and always asked him if he didn't want to solve the problem by himself. To speak nicely is to be cautious, and to speak badly is to be afraid of responsibility.
Yuxi smiled and said, "When he does two more big cases, he will be appointed as the official book of the Ministry of Criminal Justice." Solving a big case can be said to be luck once. Three times, it can't be luck. In this way, it can also convince the public.
Qihao knew what Yuxi meant, and nodded, "Okay."
The ghost face case shocked the entire Jiangnan. Even Fu Minglang was surprised. However, Qiyou is an imperial envoy and a prince, so he is not prepared to intervene in this matter. But looking at the elder son who was kneeling on the ground, the blue veins on Fu Minglang's forehead jumped up.
Two sons, Fu Tingyan is talented in studying. It's just that when I was beaten in my hometown, I couldn't hear clearly with one ear, and I couldn't enter official office if I had a disability. Therefore, Fu Tingyan did not have an imperial examination, and has been assisting him with some daily official duties over the years. Because of his careful and thorough thinking, he has become Fu Minglang's right-hand man. He handles many things.
Fu Minglang was silent for a while and asked, "Why do you want to give Guimian salt yin?" Fu Tingyan's temperament is very clear, he is very cautious, and it is impossible to provide Hei Mian with salt yin for no reason.
Fu Ting drooped his head and said nothing.
Fu Minglang said with a cold face: "Say, what's the matter? Now, confess to me that there may be room for remedy. If I don't tell the truth anymore, I will definitely abandon my post."
Some members of the Fu family used him as an anti-thief to seize his family's property and abuse his mother, wife and children. Later, after Fu Minglang developed, he broke off the clan and broke off the relationship with the Fu family clan. If he commits an offence and is dismissed from an official position, he won't even have a helping person at that time. Over the years as an official, many people have also been offended, and those who want him to lose power can devour him alive. He is not afraid of death at such an old age, he is afraid of hurting his children and grandchildren.
Only then did Fu Tingyan speak: "Then Rong Tongji grabbed Tingyan's handle, and Tingkuan came to me, and I responded." Fu Tingkuan, Fu Minglang's youngest son.
A vendor dared to threaten his brother, how could Fu Tingyan bear it. At that time, Fu Tingyan gave Rong Tongji a small number of salt citations, and the reason why he agreed to Fu Tingkuan's request also meant to kill people with a knife.
Taking money away is like killing a parent. Rong Tongji wanted to get a piece of the pie from the salt merchants, and those people would definitely not agree. Without him, Rong Tongji was played to death by these people. Unexpectedly, Rong Tongji not only was not killed by these people, but the business was getting bigger and bigger.
Fu Minglang said with a black face, "What do you grab?" Fu Minglang was also helpless with this little son. Not capable, eating, drinking and having fun is a fight with King You. Therefore, Fu Minglang kept her very tight. Later, he also married him a great daughter-in-law
Fu Tingyan lowered his head and said, "Akuan, he has a son outside." Fu Tingkuan's wife gave him a son and a daughter. However, no one dislikes that there are too many sons. Especially for people like them who have come out of the sect, they want people to flourish. But he and Fu Tingkuan had only one child under their knees.
Fu Minglang asked in a deep voice, "Is that kid's identity hidden?"
Fu Tingyan nodded and said: "Yes. This child's adoptive father is Ting Kuan's former classmate." This also shows that Fu Tingkuan had an affair with a married woman and gave birth to a son.
Fu Minglang said with a black face, "Why didn't you tell me about such a big thing before?" When this matter spreads out, their Fu family's reputation will be stinking.
Fu Tingyan was actually wronged. In the beginning, Fu Tingkuan just told him that the child's mother was a brothel girl, so he asked him for help because he was afraid of being scolded by Fu Minglang. Later I learned that it was not a brothel girl at all, but a good girl.
Fu Minglang didn't scold Fu Tingyan either, and cursing at this time would be of no avail: "Besides, what convenience did you give him?"
Fu Tingyan shook his head and said: "Nothing." Seeing that Rong Tongji would kill his two salt merchants and destroy his family, Fu Tingyan knew that this was a poisonous snake, and he couldn't touch it at all. So he proposed to Fu Minglang to find a small official for Fu Ting to train him. Fu Minglang agreed, but instead asked him to teach him a small remote county in Xihai. There are no scholars in such places, so let Fu Tingkuan go there without fear of causing trouble.
The place was poor and remote, and Fu Tingkuan didn't want to stay there at all, so he wrote to Fu Tingyan crying and saying that he wanted to come back. Unfortunately, Fu Tingyan didn't get used to him again this time, and kept him in Qinghai for these years.
Fu Minglang said to Fu Tingyan: "You will go to Yangzhou tomorrow and tell King You that Tingkuan begged you to do this. When I found out, I sent Tingkuan to Qinghai."
Fu Tingyan hesitated and said, "Father, must this be the case? This way, you will still be involved."
"No, what else do you want?"
Fu Tingyan said: "Father, we let Rong Tongji never speak." People are already dead, and it's impossible to touch them anymore.
Fu Minglang glanced at his son, shook his head, and said, "There is no evidence to kill Rong Tongji. But the same, you also offend King You. Anyone in the dynasty can offend, but you can't offend King You." This guy is a man who must be repaid, if he is. In front of him, he can remember for a lifetime. It's not a good thing to be thought of by such a ruthless character.
Fu Tingyan hesitated and said: "Father, King You knows eating, drinking and having fun all day long. This case may be luck!" He felt that Fu Minglang's evaluation of Qiyou was a little too high.
He has known Qiyou for so many years, and he really didn't think Qiyou was so good. For eating, drinking and having fun, this is really insightful.
"Luck, you also give me such good luck." As a veteran, how can I fail to understand Yuxi's thoughts. So this time Qiyou went to Yangzhou, he asked the people under his hands to cooperate as much as possible, and he was not allowed to hinder Qiyou from handling the case.
"Father, who doesn't know that King You likes to eat, drink and have fun. Mind, never on the right path."
Fu Minglang felt that his son was becoming immature, and said: "You Wang is lazy, eating, drinking and having fun all day, that is his protective color."
Fu Tingyan didn't understand.
Fu Minglang didn't say any more: "Think about this after you come back. Now, go to Yangzhou to solve this problem."
In the second half of the night, Fu Tingyan arrived in Yangzhou. In the morning, I went to see Qiyou.
On the long case, Qiyou said with a smile: "The black face confessed last night." No one can withstand the torture of a thousand swords, even black face can't do it.
Fu Tingyan knelt on the ground and said in a low voice: "My father didn't know this beforehand. I did it without telling him. Lord, I deserved the crime, and I will admit it no matter what punishment. But my father, I don't know anything." He didn't want his father to be implicated because of himself.
Qi You said with a loud voice: "Fu Minglang doesn't know about this matter, I know, I will also write about it in the book." Although the Yangzhou corruption case was reported this time, Rong Tongji actually sold salt a few years ago. He didn't have a lot of money, but he opened Bai Zhenghu's mouth and started smuggling salt to make money.
If Fu Tingyan was Rong Tongji's patron, he would not try to bribe Bai Zhenghu. So what Rong Tongji said he gave Fu Tingyan many benefits, he didn't believe a word.
Fu Tingyan was grateful: "The kindness of the prince, my father and Tingyan will remember. If the prince has something to do in the future, we will never delay what we can do."
Qiyou cut his voice: "Don't talk about these useless things, just help your father keep Jiangnan well." He had to mix too badly before he needed the Fu family.
