Just in time for rain [恰逢雨连天] - Chapter 16

[16. Chapter fifteen]

Su Jin looked at Zhu Nanxian.

He was wearing a straight moon white robe with two bamboo leaves embroidered on his cuffs. He stood upright across from her, and behind him was a dense bamboo forest.

Such simple and elegant clothes, if someone else wears them, may be as bright as the breeze and as warm as the bright moon.

But Zhu Nanxian is different. He is upright and straightforward, and wearing Hsinchu plain clothes, he looks even more heroic.

Su Jin lifted the hem of his clothes, knelt down on the ground, and said solemnly: “I don’t know what kind of virtue and what I can do, but I have received such deep love and kindness from His Highness the Thirteenth. In the future, if His Highness wishes, I will do my best, and let it go. Chi.”

When Zhu Nanxian heard the word “deep grace”, the hand he stretched out to help her froze suddenly, the corner of his mouth twitched as if he was a little embarrassed: “Oh, it’s nothing, you can be flat.”

Su Jin hurt She has not recovered yet, and has been running around all day again, relying on a string in her head to hold it up until now. Now that Chao Qing’s case has finally settled, she is relieved. At the same time, the pain and fatigue hidden in the limbs surfaced, almost fell forward while kneeling together, but fortunately struggled to hold the stone table with a ray of Qingming.

Seeing this, Zhu Nanxian instructed: “Zheng Yun, you go to the palace to ask for a doctor immediately.”

Su Jin resigned and thanked: “No need, Wei Chen is just tired, just go back to the yamen for a day earlier.”

Zhu Nanxian wanted to keep it, but Su Jin just said “deep kindness” like a thorn, and he couldn’t say much for a while, Ren Su Jin rested for a while on the stone table, and couldn’t help saying: “You are really, Why do you work so hard for the irrelevant Tanhualang, and get injured in vain.”

He has not been idle for the past few days, and spent a lot of time writing a book to ask for credit for Governor Su. Throw it back and scold him for the dog and the rat, putting the cart before the horse.

Su Jin smiled wearily: “His Royal Highness looks down on Xiaguan. If you really don’t know him, why should Xiaguan take such a risk?” Thinking of Chao Qing’s disappearance, Xu Yuanzhe copied the “Da Gao” for her word by word. “, and said: “He is a Wei Chen, so old, and no one at the scene recognized him. If Wei Chen didn’t go to him, who should go?”

Zhu Nanxian didn’t know what to say.

She is only a weak scholar, and she can still stick to the bottom line of doing things, and she is worthy of her conscience.

For a while, I heard Su Jin ask: “His Royal Highness is in the palace, do you know how Xu Tanhua is doing now?”

Zhu Nanxian said: “Oh, maybe it’s okay. In order to ensure fairness, the royal father ordered the top three of Dengke to accompany Yan Ziyan. Re-examining Chunwei’s dossier, the time limit is ten days. With this in mind, after Yan Ziyan leaves Zhanshifu today, it is time for him to go to Fengtian Palace to report to his father.

Su Jin’s expression changed after hearing this

. In the heart of the emperor, the so-called fairness

, morality, and justice are far less than the stability of the emperor’s throne, and the people of the country want. In the

early years, Emperor Jingyuan killed the hero, wiped out the chaos of the previous dynasty, and died in the north Tens of thousands of people. At present, the rivers, mountains, seas and rivers in the south are clear, but people in the north are always panic.

If Emperor Jing Yuan wanted to completely regain the hearts of the people in the north, he should not think about how to level the bowl of water in the Kechang case. He should think deeper and farther, as far as thirty years ago, as far as hundreds of years later.

He should take this case as an opportunity to say to those who were born in the north who are in constant panic: “Well, You see, although I raised troops from the south of the country, all the people in the world are my people, and I treat you all equally. Back then, some of you made mistakes and I killed them, but now there are people in the south who made mistakes, and I also Like to kill them. Let alone whether this so-called “wrong” is ”

unnecessary”, anyway, he is the emperor, and the civil and military of the Manchu Dynasty will keep his mouth shut.

Su Jin thought that after the incident, Emperor Jing Yuan revoked the conferring of the top three of Denko, and then A few people from the northern officials were brought up and made into the jinshi pen.

But Emperor Jing Yuan thought more deeply.

He wants to make a play, a big play for the world to see.

He ordered Chunwei’s champion, second place, and Tanhua to investigate his case together. On the surface, he seemed to be fair, but in fact, he wanted to kill people from the south to help people from the north. This case was settled in his sacred heart long ago – it was a bargaining chip in his hand to stabilize the country, and it was an inevitable catastrophe for the Southern Shizi of this department.

Zhu Nanxian saw that Su Jin’s face was so pale that there was no blood, and he couldn’t help but say: “If Governor Su is really tired, he will rest at the palace of the king. The same is true of the king’s order to prepare a carriage and horse to take you back to the palace tomorrow morning.”

Who knows Su Jin seemed to have squeezed out a bit of strength from his bones and blood, knelt down and said, “His Thirteenth Highness, Wei Chen has an unkind request.” Then he kowtowed to Zhu Nanxian, “Wei Chen wants to go to the palace to see Yan Shao overnight. Zhan’s business.”

Zhu Nanxian wanted to say how difficult it was, but the next moment, he finally understood why Su Jin was so urgent.

It’s too late.

Zheng Yun hurried to Nanyuan and said, “His Royal Highness, something big has happened in the palace!”

Zhu Nanxian said while adding Su Jin, “What’s the matter? You speak slowly.”

Zheng Yun swallowed. He spit: “Today at You Shi, Yan Shaozhan reported back to His Majesty, saying that he has completed the review of the Chunwei dossier, and that Chunwei’s chief examiner, the three co-examiners, and all the scholars have not cheated, and the article is indeed better from the southern officials. When His Majesty heard this, he was furious, saying that Yan Ziyan colluded with Mr. Qiu Ge to deceive Sheng Ting, and ordered all the examiners to be tested, as well as the re-examination officials to be imprisoned together, and ordered that all of them be beheaded in three days. .”

As soon as these words came out, Zhu Nanxian was also stunned.

Zheng Yun added: “In your anger, Your Majesty ordered the Ministry of Punishment and the Supreme Court to submit a list of the yamen and personnel involved in the trouble, and now the Ministry of Punishment has ordered the Ministry of Punishment to take Yulinwei’s people to various yasin to get people and escort them back overnight. Interrogation in the palace. Among them…” He paused slightly and glanced at Su Jin, “There is also Governor Su of the capital yamen.”

Zhu Nanxian took a few steps back and forth with his hands behind his back, and took off the Fangfang card from his waist and handed it to Zheng Yun: “Go to Zuo Qian with the card of this king, and ask him to bring Jin Wuwei to the king’s mansion immediately. Wei’s people want to go to this palace to get people, let’s see if they have the ability!”

Zheng Yun was dumbfounded, and stammered, “His Royal Highness…”

Zhu Nanxian said, “What are you doing! Hurry up!”

Su Jin silently said: “Your Highness thinks twice, His Highness means to maintain, Wei Chen is grateful. Has Your Highness ever thought, if Jin Wuwei and Yu Linwei confronted, whose face will be refuted?”

Zhu Nanxian was stunned . live.

Su Jin said: “Yes, it’s Your Majesty. Your Highness may be able to protect Wei Chen for a while, but he can’t protect him forever. Wei Chen hides today, but what will he do in the future? Are you desperate? Not to mention that I listen to the meaning of Director Zheng, the Ministry of Punishment detains me. Entering the palace is only for interrogation and questioning, and the ministers are worthy of the heavens and the earth, they may not do anything to me.”

Zhu Nanxian was also in a fever for a while, after listening to Su Jin’s words, he slowly calmed down, but He said again: “You are injured, and you are tired from running around, and you are resting now. If the punishment department uses torture, how can you hold on?”

Su Jin said: “Wei Chen is not that weak, but one night, what can’t you do?” Said, Farewell to Zhu Nanxian, turned around and walked outside the mansion.

Zhu Nanxian thought about it for a long time, raised his eyes and glanced in the direction where Su Jin left, and instructed Zheng Yun: “Go and prepare a carriage.” Then he turned and went in the other direction.

The palace has nine twists and eighteen turns, and Su Jin circled around for half an hour to reach the gate of the mansion. When he looked up, there was a carriage waiting for her outside the mansion.

Zhu Nanxian had changed back to the python robe, sat on the driver’s seat, raised his chin at Su Jin: “Come up, this king will take you home.” Seeing that Su Jin was motionless, he said again, “You won’t let this king recruit Jin Wuwei. , this king agreed, but you are injured and need a good rest, this king made up his mind to protect you for the night, and this king ordered you to answer.”

He jumped out of the carriage, let Su Jin board the carriage, passed by, and finally sighed: “Su Shiyu, you may have doubts in your heart, I don’t know why this king wants to protect you, you can rest, wait for this scene in front of you. Once you get over it, come and ask this king, and this king will definitely tell the truth.” Su Jin lifted the curtain and entered the room, and when he heard this sentence, he paused and replied

softly, “I don’t want to ask.”

On the avenue of the capital in the middle of the night, Zhu Nanxian remembered the past and felt regretful for a while.

The interior of the car was silent, Zhu Nanxian thought that Su Jin was too tired to fall asleep, and a barely audible sigh came from inside: “His Royal Highness, time is also fate, Wei Chen’s situation is caused by good fortune, why should Your Highness worry about it? ”
