Just in time for rain [恰逢雨连天] - Chapter 235

[235. Chapter two three four]

Zhu Nanxian frowned slightly, and quickly walked to the window to take a look, and saw several yamen holding torches to surround the inn, and there were several lines of officers and soldiers in the distance.

He is a person who has long been “Bintian”, no matter who comes, it is inappropriate to recognize himself.

Zhu Nanxian thought so, and took out a cloak from his luggage.

There were shouts and shouts from the outside again. It turned out that the officials couldn’t wait and sent the yamen to call the door.

Today’s Yunlai Inn was taken over by the Jiang family. Except for the people from Cuiwei Town, they were the guys in the inn.

When they got the lobby, they were almost all there. Zhu Nanxian looked around and asked Yao Youcai to count the number of people. There were two people next to him, one was the head of the household department, and the other was Zhang Yan, the governor of the Zuo army. . In addition, there is an official with straight facial features and a small dent on his right eyebrow standing slightly behind. He looks young but has a very calm bearing. It is Zhai Di.

The square table in the lobby was moved to one side, and several chairs and stools were spliced together, but the Vice-duo Censor did not sit, and the rest did not dare to sit.

Shaoqing, after the number of people was counted, Yao Youcai heard that there were two missing, and asked loudly, “Where is the surnamed Su and his guard?”

“Master, Su Xie has something important and went out with guard Tan. Said to be back later.” Chao Qing replied.

Yao Youcai let out a nonchalant “En”, then glanced around, and his eyes fell on Zhu Nanxian: “Nannuyuan is wearing a cloak in the middle of the night, don’t you feel bored?” Then he ordered, “Come on, let him My cloak has been taken off!”

Zhu Nanxian saw Zhai Di appear here and was worried about Su Jin’s visit to the reception temple tonight, when he was distracted for a while, and suddenly saw two yamen come to take off his cloak, before he could react, he lifted it up. The hand blocked it, and between the electric light and flint, one person’s arm was thrown behind him by him.

“It’s against you—” Yao Youcai saw this and wanted to call someone to capture Zhu Nanxian.

Chao Qing said: “Sir, you don’t know something, the Nanhu Hospital has an emergency tonight. I’m afraid that I will pass the illness to others, so I put on a cloak.”

“Really?”

“Yes. If you don’t believe me, you can ask the staff at the inn. , tonight the inn also invited a doctor.”

Yao Youcai knew that there must be something strange about this nursing home surnamed Nan wearing a cloak for no reason. , a Beijing official, a governor’s office, whatever, he is not coming at him tonight, let him be a “reasonable” person.

So he waved his hand, ordered the yamen to step down, then looked at Jiang Jiutong, and said, “Master Jiang, this official has already bribed you into the government and made Jiang Yan escape from service today.” He turned around. , gave a deep bow

to Zhai Di, “Master Zhai, the deputy governor of the Imperial Court, from Beijing, do you know the guilt?” When he came, he expected this to happen, trembled again, and kowtowed: “Your Excellency, Caomin is convicted, but Lord Yao, Lord Imperial Commissioner, Caomin bribed the government back then, it was actually done by one person, Jiang Yan was at that time. You are young and do not know about it, so you did not intend to escape from service. Whether the adults want to be punished or beheaded, can you only punish the Caomin and spare the child’s life?”

“How will your son’s crime of escaping be sentenced, Mr. Zhai ? It’s the censor, so you will know what’s right and wrong.” Yao Youcai said, seeing Jiang Jiutong easily confessing his guilt, with a wave of his hand, several yachas understood and captured him instantly.

Zhu Nanxian was suspicious.

Yao Youcai’s real purpose was to occupy the mulberry fields in Cuiwei Town, so he repeatedly used Jiang Yan’s escape from service to coerce Jiang Jiutong.

But now, he has come to draw salary from the bottom of the pot, and directly reported the matter of escaping to Ming Zhai Di, making it clear that he would not give the Jiang family a way to survive. Does the surnamed Yao do not want Sang Tian?

No, Zhu Nanxian thought, there must be another plot behind this.

Zhu Nanxian knew that he should save Jiang Jiutong temporarily, at least not to let him fall into Yao Youcai’s hands.

But once he made a sound, it would be suspicious. It would be fine if Zhai Di was alone, but it happened that both Director Lu of the Ministry of Housing and Zhang Tuo of the Governor’s Mansion recognized him.

So he had to keep silent, and Ren Yacha took Jiang Jiutong away.

Yao Youcai added: “This official is here today, and there is another important matter. Most of the townspeople in Cuiwei Town used to be mountain people. Later, they cut down forests and cultivated fields and became mulberry people, but their household registration is unclear. Now, it is precisely Dasui’s household registration check once every ten years—”

He said, taking a step back, folded his hands, and bowed to Mr. Lu next to him: “When Mr. Lu of the Ministry of Household checked the household registration in Shu, he found that you were waiting Among the people, there are two people whose household registration is particularly inappropriate. They were not originally from Shuzhong, but they settled down later, but the household registration only says that they are victims of the Peach Blossom Flood in Wuchang in the past.” He glanced

around: “Mu Axiang and Mu Yun Where is Xi?”

Shu Xiang was injured, Yuan was standing behind the crowd, after hearing this, she walked out with difficulty, and replied weakly: “Back to the words of a few adults, Min’s daughter and nephew are from Jiangnan, and later the family After relocating to Huguang, they were scattered during the peach blossom floods for several years, and later settled in Shuzhong, I don’t know what went wrong with the household registration?”

The household registration of Shuxiang and Yunxi was set by Shen Xi himself, and there is absolutely no possibility of error. Now that Director Lu is here to find fault, there is only one possibility – the drunkard’s intention is not to drink.

Could it be that he learned about Yunxi’s identity?

Zhu Nanxian’s heart tightened.

“The problem is that you were the victims of the disaster in Wuchang Mansion three years ago.” Director Lu replied, “At that time, during the Peach Blossom Flood in Huguang, the victims, except for the bandits and criminals, did not mention the criminals. Among them, there were also two people who the court wanted to arrest. The criminals are a woman and a half-year-old child.”

Director Lu looked at Shuxiang: “Are you Mu Axiang?” Then he asked, “Where is Mu Yunxi?”

Yunxi was silent, although he I don’t know what happened, and I guessed that tonight’s matter was not easy, I was afraid that Uncle Thirteen would be implicated. Just as he was about to step forward, he could not imagine that the corner of his clothes was suddenly pulled by someone.

“It’s me—” At the next moment, Jiang Ci took a step forward and stood out more and more.

Everyone in Cuiwei Town was stunned. This was a serious crime of deceiving the imperial court.

“Aci—” Jiang Yue’er cried out when she saw this situation, but before she could say a word, Yao Youcai stopped her.

Yao Youcai said, “Your Excellency the imperial envoy is here, how can you wait and yell.”

He naturally recognized Jiang Ci, but was happy to see it happen. Anyway, the Tao replaces Li Zong, and the Jiang family’s crime is one more level, so he pretended not to know. It was found out later that it was another achievement.

“Master Lu, Mu Axiang and Mu Yunxi are both here, what do you want to do?” Yao Youcai turned his head and asked.

Director Lu thought for a while: “Go to the prison first, and then escort it back to Beijing in the early morning of tomorrow, and hand it over to the Ministry of Punishment.”

Zhu Nanxian’s heart sank again.

Seeing that Jiang Ci and Shuxiang were about to be taken away by the yacha, it was too late to stop them now.

“Wait!”

Yao Youcai was about to lead Mr. Lu and Mr. Zhang Yan to leave the inn, when suddenly someone in the crowd called them.

Zhu Nanxian said coldly: “I heard that the three judicial divisions of the DPRK, the Ministry of Punishment, the Dali Temple, and the Metropolitan Court have the right to inquire about the case. Dare to ask this adult, when will the Ministry of Household be able to take people? ”

Yao Youcai listened to Zhu Nanxian’s disrespectful words, and was about to rebuke, but was stopped by Director Lu.

He turned his head, his eyes fell on Zhu Nanxian, looked up and down, and then said after a short pause, “This official took Mu Axiang and Mu Yunxi away just to ask about the household registration, and then I will temporarily transfer them to the Ministry of Punishment. And since it is about to commit a crime, this official will not be empty-handed, and he has a message from the Ministry of Punishment in his hand, and the message is confidential, so he can’t show it to others.”

Zhu Nanxian asked Zhai Di again: “Have Mr. Zhai ever read the message?”

Zhai Di only felt The man in the ink-colored cloak was inexplicably familiar. After a moment of silence, he said, “I have seen it.”

It was shown to him by Shu Wenlan this morning, saying that he was entrusted by Qian Yueqian, the minister of punishment, and it was true.
