Just in time for rain [恰逢雨连天] - Chapter 146

[146. Chapter One Four Five]

This is the anti-theft chapter

Liu Chaoming didn’t lift his head, he said “um”: “This Guanglu Temple should be checked.”

Zhao Yan smiled and said: “Okay, you can count.”

Yang Zhiwei has thirteen His Highness’s order led all the officials of the yamen to retreat to the retreat hall, but did not dare to rest, while watching the seat for Su Jin, while ordering people to decoct. When the medicinal soup came up, he stared

at Su Jin carefully and ate it, and pointed out cautiously: “Mr. Su, you invited this great Buddha?”

“Xingxingxing, a gentleman does not want to be full of food, nor to seek security in his home. You don’t need to say that it is the official who should not ask.”

Sun Yinde, who was tossed all night, also pointed to the outside and said: “It is easy to ask God to send God, but it is difficult. Governor Su, as far as the master you invited, if you can keep us, then everything will be fine, if you can’t keep it? That’s the end, all of us yamen don’t even want to run away, we all have to sit with you.”

Yang Zhiwei heard this, and he felt in his heart. With a sound of “crack”, he couldn’t help but say, “I’ll take another look at this officer.”

I really don’t know what I don’t know, and I’m startled when I look at it.

Yang Zhiwei just poked his head out from the door of the government office, his calf trembled, and he knelt on the threshold again –

he is a small government official who obeys the law, and he sees people with higher titles and power than him on weekdays. He interrupted his leg and lay on the ground to greet him. Today, who is provoking who, how come even the second head of the Supreme Court has come to find fault?

Zhao Yan took advantage of the firelight to carefully read the directory of the Ministry of Punishment, pointed to the top and said, “It’s the Governor Su.” Then he said to the two kneeling on the ground, “Ma Shaoqing, Lu Yuanwai, I’m here. There is an important point that needs to be verified in the review of the case by the Metropolitan Procuratorate. It is necessary to immediately pass Governor Su to the palace for interrogation. The two adults will not sell the thin noodles of the Metropolitan Procuratorate, right?” How

dare the others say anything, just kowtow: ” Lord Zhao, just take people.”

Zhao Yan turned around and gave Zhu Nanxian a bow again: “His Thirteenth Highness, is Wei Chen here to escort Governor Su into the palace?”

Although he said he was escorting people into the palace, when he came, he was followed by a carriage instead of a prison cart.

From this, it can be seen that the Metropolitan Procuratorate will not do anything to Su Jin.

Zhu Nanxian saw it in his eyes, but he was still worried. Even if the Supreme Court did not torture him and sent people to the palace, when would they be able to send them back? What should I do if the Ministry of Punishment comes to ask for someone after the trial by the Metropolitan Procuratorate?

Zhao Yan glanced at Zhu Shisan’s face, bowed a little deeper, and said, “Don’t worry, Your Highness, the people taken away by the Supreme Court will be returned safely by the Supreme Court, without hurting him a single hair. ”

Zhu Nanxian also knows that this is not the way to go.

Although he is noble as the direct prince, he has no right to try cases and take people. What’s more, this is a huge case. If the father and the emperor are investigated, and the emperor’s brother is investigated, how should he explain it? He is not afraid, but what about Su Jin?

Only handed over to the court.

Zhu Nanxian’s lips pursed into a thin line, and after a while, he nodded slowly: “Okay, you take the person away.”

The night seemed to be very deep and long, Zhu Nanxian watched Su Jin and Zhao Yan go up He got out of the carriage and watched the carriage drift away in the dark streets until it disappeared.

A familiar sense of powerlessness crept over him almost cruelly.

Ma Shaoqing cautiously came over to ask him for instructions: “His Royal Highness, look…”

Zhu Nanxian kicked the chair of the Eight Immortals beside him: “Go away! It’s time to take people, don’t bother this king!

” Playing riddles to each other, holding torches and sorting out the so-called suspects on the list.

Zhu Nanxian sat down on the steps in this silent crowd.

Yes, such a sense of powerlessness, he also experienced it once five years ago.

At that time, Zhu Nanxian won the match of Su Jin and presented it to Zhu Minda the next day.

Although Zhu Minda didn’t want his thirteenth brother to go to the Northwest Guards, he was the prince after all, and following the principle of no jokes, he could only approve the letter of order.

Zhu Minda said: “Since you have made up your mind to follow martial arts, the imperial brother will not stop you, but you are a prince after all. When you return from the northwest, I think you should find someone to teach you about learning.” After a pause, he thought about it again. He asked, “Your temperament is something that a mediocre person can’t teach you. In your mind, do you have any suitable candidates?”

Zhu Shisan, who was accustomed to lack of heart, became smart for the first time, and he said, “Your Majesty. Brother, the emperor sees who is suitable for whoever is suitable.”

Zhu Minda gave him a meaningful look, and walked away.

In fact, Zhu Nanxian knew that if his brother wanted to investigate, he would sooner or later help him to ask Su Jin for advice on the couplet.

But he thought again, Zhu Minda has always been hard-hearted and soft-hearted, this is not a big mistake, he is a prince, is it possible that he will still embarrass a small Hanlin?

Zhu Nanxian did not guess wrong, but the bad thing was that Su Jin at that time had offended the officials.

On the day he presented his son to Zhu Minda, the Ministry of Personnel had already lynched Su Jin, and then charged her with dereliction of duty to submit to the Emperor Shu.

By the time the cabinet had prepared the message and sent it to the various government offices, Su Jin had no idea whether he was alive or dead.

And Zhu Nanxian didn’t know about it until three days after the message.

The inner servant who came to report back said: “Although it is eighty sticks, the servant heard that people climbed out of the dead, and only breathed. The old imperial censor got angry first and wanted to help rehabilitate the case. The book was handed over to the crown prince’s desk. I don’t know why, but His Highness said that he would let it go for half a day. , I heard that Yushi Liu of the Metropolitan Police Department drove his car to catch up, but the old Yushi was also angry.”

Although Zhu Nanxian was born in a deep palace, he had an elder brother who helped him since he was a child. He fended off the warring and secret battles from the outside world, and there was a loving mother who loved him in the palm of his hand. Even Emperor Jing Yuan, who had always been harsh and harsh, was a little more forgiving to him than his son next to him.

Because of this, he has always lived a very simple life.

There is an almost stubborn stubbornness that is born out of simplicity.

After the inner attendant’s remarks, he only understood one thing – the old imperial censor’s book was handed to the desk, but Zhu Minda said that it would be released for half a day.

Zhu Nanxian thought that he might know why it was delayed for half a day.

Zhu Minda had long known that it was Su Jin who wrote the pair on his behalf, so he didn’t bother to read it, so he just let it go for a long time.

It is precisely because of this half-day that Su Jin was sent away by the Ministry of Officials, and his life and death are unknown.

Zhu Nanxian grabbed the Xiongwei Dao and rushed to the official department regardless of the obstacles. He still couldn’t understand in his mind, how could someone who was like a clear breeze and a bright moon just a few days ago have breath left in the blink of an eye?

The officials of the Ministry of Officials knelt on the ground, and Zhu Nanxian said solemnly: “The son of a bitch surnamed Zeng, get out of this king!”

Zeng Youliang was so frightened that he hid under the table, and he couldn’t help shivering.

Zhu Nanxian was so clear-headed that he immediately slashed and the table was split in two.

Zeng Youliang threw himself to the ground, tremblingly pleaded for mercy: “Your Highness Thirteen, Wei Chen is wrong, please forgive me, please forgive me…”

Zhu Nanxian ignored it, and slashed again, blood spurted out, and he slashed a piece. arm.

But it was not from Zeng Youliang.

A small official rushed out from the side and helped his family’s Shangshu to block the knife.

Zhu Nanxian wiped the blood from his face, sneered, raised the knife and pointed at the trembling and kneeling person in the hall: “Is love blocking the knife? Believe it or not, I will kill one, this king?”

Yan End, the last knife down.

Just an inch away from Zeng Youliang’s nose, the tip of the knife was blocked by the hilt of the sword sticking out from the side. At the same time, a violent shout came from behind him: “You bastard, the emperor is still lying on the sickbed, you are just making a fool of yourself?!”

Yes Zhu Minda arrived with Yu Linwei.

Zhu Minda was furious, pointed at Zhu Nanxian and said, “Someone, bring this evil barrier back to the East Palace!”

Zhu Nanxian stumbled and was escorted back to the East Palace by a group of Yulin guards.

He remembered that it was the first time that Juminda hit him, and he personally whipped him one by one with the cane whip, and each whip hit him hard.

The heavy rain poured down, and Zhu Nanxian still felt pain at first, but after being drenched by the rain, he seemed to be unconscious again, and even his own legs were unconscious.

Zhu Minda’s arm was sore and numb, and he refused to stop, but the Crown Princess saw that, she rushed over and took a long whip on Zhu Nanxian’s behalf, crying, “His Royal Highness, stop beating, if you hit thirteen again, you will die… The

rain was pouring, Zhu Minda took a deep breath and asked, “Thirteen, do you know what’s wrong?”

Zhu Nanxian still knelt up straight, and when he heard this sentence, he seemed to have just recovered from his thoughts.

He raised his head blankly, watching the pouring rain pouring down all day, then turned to look at Juminda, his expression suddenly became very sad.

He said: “Brother Huang, why did you put the book on hold for half a day, is it because of me?”

He said again: “Brother Huang, I’m not going to the northwest anymore, I’m going to find him.”

Zhu Minda’s eyes were also at this moment . It turned red, and the whip in his hand fell to the ground. After a long while, he choked up and said, “Thirteen, you must know that this Su Jin, he is a man.”

Two days later, Zhu Nanxian’s wounds were not healed. , was carried on the carriage by Zhu Minda and sent to the Northwest Guard Station.

To this day, he has never understood what the last sentence of the emperor’s brother meant.

Does that mean he’s broken sleeves? But when he went to the fortress to see it later, he felt horrified.

But what if he didn’t break his sleeves? He also went to Qinhuai Hefang to see it, but he never met the woman he liked.

Zhu Nanxian’s simple mind had never thought about such intricate things, and after it became a mess, his way of dealing with it was to shake his head, stand up, and instructed: “Come and prepare a horse, this king is going back to the palace. Zhao Yan took Su Jin back to the

Metropolitan Court, and Liu Chaoming took another file from the bookcase. Seeing Su Jin, he avoided her courtesy and said, “Come with me.”

Then he pushed aside the barrier . The room is not big, and it is unusually clean and tidy. In addition to the usual table cabinets, there is also a green bamboo couch.

Su Jin followed behind Liu Chaoming, and when he saw the furnishings in the compartment, he was stunned and asked: “Sir, where is this?”

Liu Chaoming said lightly: “The Ducha Yuan is used to staying in the office, and sometimes I get really tired, so I will rest. Here.”

The teapot on the table was still steaming, thinking it was freshly brewed, and there were cakes beside it.

Su Jin paused for a moment and said, “Did your lord not try the subordinate officer?”

Liu Chaoming glanced at her and said, “Then you will also have to die.”

Director Jiang wiped away tears: ” Why can’t the subordinate officer listen to her? Hearing Mr. Liu and his old man helping Su Jin investigate the case, asking about the date of disappearance, and gossiping about Yan Zhan, who knows that Yushi Zuodu is an iron-faced Bodhisattva, can ask his old man for help, without strong friendship can be successful?”

Ren Xuan was stunned for a while, but Shen Xi, the servant of the household who came to visit the door first, listened to the corner for a long time and said with a smile: “Mr. Jiang, I remember that you have a grandson who is about the same age as Mr. Liu, you call Mr. Liu old man, no. Is it suitable?”

Director Jiang broke the jar and smashed: “What’s wrong? My grandfather is the one who can kill me.”

Shen Xi pulled on the third-grade peacock embroidery on his official robe and asked, “Director Jiang, what about me? ”

You?” Mr. Jiang raised his head to look at him with tears in his eyes: “You are in charge of money, my ancestor!”

Shen Xi laughed at the other end, and Ren Xuan sat down next to Mr. Jiang at the threshold. Inexplicable.

The Supreme Court has the power to impeach hundreds of officials, and it is best for them to try the Chao Qing case. If Su Jin and Liu Chaoming knew each other, why would he come to him with a secret letter? Not to mention the near and far, there is still a handle left and right.

He just went to Zhanshifu to inquire about news, and bumped into His Highness the Thirteenth. Only then did he know that Zhu Nanxian had returned to Beijing from the northwest.
