Just in time for rain [恰逢雨连天] - Chapter 215

[215. Chapter 214]

This is the anti-theft Zhang Zhanshifu, which was originally set up to take care of the internal affairs of the emperor and the prince. After the founding of the country, Emperor Jingyuan ordered it to assist the prince, so it was built near the East Palace.

After the official made trouble, Yan Ziyan questioned the fact that Chunwei was fraudulent, and the emperor ordered him to be the chief judge.

But more and more helpless.

The good articles that will be tried are indeed mostly from the hands of the southern officials.

It seems that what Shen Xi said is true, there is indeed a gap between officials in the north and south (Note), the so-called fraud in the field may really just be a misunderstanding.

Yan Ziyan felt that he was about to find out when he tried the papers. When he returned to Zhan Shifu, he heard that the censor of Zuodu came to look for him. The first thought was that Mr. Liu was from the south. No wonder he became censor of the city. When he came to Su Jin who followed Liu Chaoming, he thought to himself, this is also a southerner, no wonder he is a jinshi with the second grade.

It was not until he heard the intention of these two people that he returned to his soul, glanced at Su Jin, and chuckled: “I also told you that you are a mere eighth-rank governor, how could Ren Xuan let you come to the midday gate and ask questions? Blame this official, it turns out that he got such benefits. The business is doing well, and the face of this official is used to exchange the favor of His Highness the Seventeenth. When the Marquis of Changping was invincible in battles in the Central Plains, and gave birth to a son, he was a businessman who was not diligent.”

His words were bitter and mean, but when he thought about it in detail, he was able to understand the truth.

It’s not that Su Jin didn’t understand. She answered the question and went to find Ren Xuan, but she wanted to ask for something. One was willing to fight and the other was willing to suffer, and she had no intention of competing.

Yan Ziyan glanced at Su Jin sideways again, and felt that although this person looked elegant and restrained, he had a decisive personality. On the day the official made trouble, if Su Jin hadn’t ordered Yan Ziqi to be tied up and sent back to the mansion, I don’t know what kind of trouble his ignorant sister could have caused.

Thinking like this, he asked casually, “Aren’t you injured?”

Su Jin didn’t pay attention to the mention of this, he was stunned for a moment, and then he said: “It has been raised for a few days, and it has gotten better.” He continued: “The Ministry of Punishment has rumored that several cases are pending, and the lower officials did not dare to delay, so they rushed in early. Come from the palace.”

Where did the cases come from?

The little governor, the major case related to her, was one of the official troubles.

These so-called several cases are probably to include Chao Qing’s disappearance, so let’s wake him up.

Yan Ziyan heard something in Su Jin’s words, and sneered: “According to this official, you are rushing to collide with the case, right?”

He also felt that the governor of Su Jin district had repeatedly made unkind words to him, and the sense of gratitude that had just disappeared completely disappeared. No, they said to each other with evil voices: “It’s fortunate that you didn’t die at the scene of the trouble that day, and taking care of yourself is the right way. There’s no need to rush into the palace as soon as possible. There is no shortage of witnesses from the Criminal Department. Besides, there are few of you. If you are not looking for trouble like this, the capital is more peaceful, oh, looking at it this way, it’s a pity that you didn’t die that day.”

After hearing this, Su Jin bent his eyes and looked at Yan Ziyan calmly with his hands behind his back: “Sir What he said is that the death of a lower official is not a pity, but the adults are so looking forward to the death of the minister, and can’t help but make people think about the reason, is there any reason for it to fall into the hands of the lower official?”

Yan Ziyan was furious for a while, raised his hand to call for people Come in and treat this thing that ate the gall of a leopard.

However, Su Jin refused to back down. She came today to ask Yan Ziyan the reason for Chao Qing’s disappearance on the day of his disappearance. It was expected to anger him.

“Have you had enough trouble?” At this moment, Liu Chaoming, who was sitting on the head, said solemnly.

Su Jin and Yan Ziyan looked at each other and swallowed the words that had already reached their lips.

Liu Chaoming asked Yan Ziyan: “His Royal Highness the Seventeenth presented to Hanlin on the same day, I heard that His Royal Highness has transferred the Court to Zhan Shifu?”

Yan Ziyan cupped his hands and said, “That’s right.” He couldn’t hold back his complacency for a while, and said to Su Jin, “I almost forgot, it doesn’t matter if I have a handle on Governor Su, but Governor Su has a ready-made one. The handle is in the hands of this official.”

After speaking, he turned around and took the case from the desk, and was about to present it to Liu Chaoming, when he suddenly retracted his hand and asked with a puzzled face, “I dare to ask how Master Liu knows about ten Was the Seventh Highness’s strategy written on behalf of Su Jin?”

Su Jin’s heart was full of anger, what a mess? Isn’t it because you took the policy and sent it to the Punishment Department at your own discretion, and that’s why you brought in the Metropolitan Procuratorate?

However, this thought flashed by, and Su Jin suddenly realized that something was wrong.

If Yan Ziyan had submitted the original strategy to the Ministry of Punishment, how could Shen Tuo not have guessed that the other end of the case was His Highness the Seventeenth?

Looking at it this way, the East Palace and the Punishment Department seem to be investigating each other and don’t know each other.

Liu Chaoming said: “You don’t have to know.”

Yan Ziyan said again: “Then dare to ask Mr. Liu, if the evidence is verified, how should Governor Su be dealt with? The lower official heard that the secretary who wrote on behalf of the Fourteenth Highness six months ago. Chen was killed by the cane.”

Liu Chaoming said, “The lessons learned from the past are only for reference, and do not need to be applied blindly. After the trial is over, you should be punished as a crime.”

Yan Ziyan thought for a while, thinking he understood what Liu Chaoming said. He liked it, so he said: “According to the words of the Censor, these crimes are not death, but they should also be dismissed and exiled?”

After speaking, they suddenly joined hands and bowed to Liu Chaoming, white clothes and broad sleeves brought a breeze: ” Mr. Liu, even though the lower officials disliked Su Jin very much, they also heard that on the day when Shizi made trouble, the Yingtian government chief took a group of servants to hide in the Confucius Temple. To deal with a few violent bandits, the officials of the Ministry of Rites in Zhuque Lane did not want to evacuate the people. They all hid in the teahouse, for fear of being injured. In vain attempts to reverse the situation, it is extremely stupid to think that he is a scallion, but…Xiaguan wants to leave this person for the court.”

After finishing his sentence, he turned around and looked at Su Jin coldly, and said, “Su Jin, how old are you, this officer, and I will teach you a truth. You must not believe what other people say, and you must not believe it completely. Huagu, do you know that when you were dying in the hustle and bustle of the alleys, you hid in the teahouse and trembled, and who did not come out to look at you from the beginning to the end? Someone called you a brother, but it does not prevent him from stabbing you in the back.”

He paused, raised his chin slightly, and said in a slow voice: “Of course, what you have done doesn’t prevent this officer from hating you from the bottom of his heart, this officer is used to being indebted to you, you should be optimistic, this officer I’ll only help you this time, not for anything else, I’ve decided to protect your sister’s safety for you that day.”

After speaking, Yan Ziyan strode to the west corner of the hall, turned on the lampshade first, and threw the strategy in his hand into the fire. burn away.

White paper and black ink will catch fire.

At this moment, I don’t know if it was God’s will, the hall door was suddenly pushed open, and a gust of wind blew the paper on which the policy was written on the ground, and the spark that had just ignited from the corner of the paper was extinguished.

The visitor was dressed in a vermilion crown robe with a five-clawed golden dragon embroidered on it, with Zhu Nanxian and Zhu Shiqi behind him. Don’t ask, you should know that this one is the prince of the Dasui, the crown prince Zhu Minda.

A group of three people in the house knelt down to greet Zhu Minda.

Zhu Minda only said: “Master Censor is flat.” His eyes fell on the ground and a corner of the paper was burned, and he sneered: “Why, who dares to destroy the corpse on the back of this palace?” There was

silence in the hall. Yan Ziyan’s forehead instantly oozes fine sweat.

Zhu Minda glanced at Yan Ziyan lightly, and instructed: “Yan San, pick up the paper on the ground and present it to this palace.”

Yan Ziyan replied, “Yes”, and when he got up to pick up the policy, the blood on his face had faded.

Zhu Nanxian is like a second monk, and he has not yet understood what the situation is in front of him.

Seventeen came to him earlier, saying that he had made the emperor angry, and asked him to persuade him. He also mentioned that Governor Su of Yingtianfu was also involved. Just as he was talking, the guards of the East Palace came to invite Seventeen, saying that Governor Su was in Zhan Shifu, and the prince ordered him to go to trial.

Which other governor of the capital yamen has the surname Su? Hearing this, Zhu Nanxian hurriedly followed.

Seeing that Yan Ziyan’s fingertips were trembling when he picked up the strategy, and Su Jin’s fingers on the ground were slightly bent as if they were about to pierce the ground, Zhu Nanxian thought to himself, oh, the problem is probably because of this piece of fire. Roll it up on a corner of the paper.

Yes, it should be burned. Zhu Nanxian thought.

So just as Zhu Minda was about to take over the strategy, Zhu Nanxian grabbed it and stuffed it into his mouth.

Liu Chaoming did not get up, but said: “Your Highness, Governor Su was sent to the palace for interrogation by the Supreme Court. Now that I have made a mistake, it should be borne by the Supreme Court.”

Zhu Minda’s heart sank, and it was for Su Jin.

He said coldly: “Although this son was passed to the palace by Master Liu, the mistake he made has nothing to do with the trial of the Supreme Court, and Master Liu does not need to worry about it.” Liu

Chaoming did not back down: “Dare to ask Your Highness, Su Jin What’s wrong ?” Zhu Minda said displeased: “Why, now this palace wants to kill someone, and I have to ask the Duchayuan for

instructions?” Liu Chaoming said: “His Royal Highness forgiveness, Wei Chen did not mean that. But Su Jin offended His Royal Highness the Crown Prince.

, Wei Chen feels that he is to blame, if His Highness wants to punish, even Wei Chen will punish him.”

Zhu Minda looked gloomy, and asked with a sneer: “What if this palace wants him to die?”

Liu Chaoming said with a heavy expression: “Please, Your Highness, and punish him.”

Zhu Minda glanced at Zhu Nanxian, who was still struggling desperately, and at Liu Chaoming, who was kneeling beside him and begging for his life. He didn’t understand, he was just a governor of the eighth rank. Even if he had a brilliant mind, he was only an ant under the majestic imperial power, and he was a prince, so was it so difficult to kill an ant?

After all, Zhu Minda had Zhu Jingyuan’s blood on his body. The more he determined, the more others blocked him, the more he had to do it at all costs.

He sneered and said, “Okay, okay, as you wish, I will kill him first, and then I will question you both!”

At this moment, a timid voice came from the other end of the hall: “Great Emperor Brother.”

Zhu Minda looked sideways, Zhu Shiqi and a person dressed in a peacock patch were standing on the side of the hall.

Peacock Buzi limped over and called out to Zhu Minda with a smile, “Brother-in-law.”

This person was not someone else, but the one who had his leg broken by his father a while ago because he said, “The difference between the north and the south is probably a misunderstanding.” The minister of households, Shen Xi.

However, it was said that Shen Xi had two beautiful sisters, and one of them married Zhu Minda as the crown princess. Therefore, although he is a courtier, he is fortunate to have the honor of his sister’s beauty, and he has become half a royal family member.

Now that the courtiers are all present, Zhu Minda heard the “brother-in-law” and reprimanded with a dark face: “Presumptuous!”

Shen Xi smiled, and then Shi Shiran bowed down.

Zhu Minda has a strong relationship with the Crown Princess, and is more lenient to this brother-in-law who often comes and goes, and doesn’t care about his indiscretion, but said: “You take Seventeen back to the East Palace first, and wait for this Palace to finish cooking. Let’s go back and have dinner together.”

Shen Shilang has always been a fool to join in the fun, and after hearing this, he didn’t move his legs and feet, immediately dragged Zhu Shiqiyi and knelt in front of Zhu Minda, and said seriously, “Brother-in-law is angry, How can my brother-in-law get away? Well, anyway, my brother-in-law wants to punish someone, why don’t you just take the opportunity to punish me and Shiqiyi?”

Zhu Minda was disturbed by him for a while, and he scolded: “Get out of here. Get out, and follow the nonsense!”

Shen Xi said in surprise, “Why is this nonsense?” He took his chin and pointed at Zhu Nanxian, and then at Liu Chaoming, “A prince, the head of a hundred officials, apart from your majesty and brother-in-law, you are the most important in this palace. Jin Gui’s master is kneeling and begging for death, I don’t want to beg for death with the wind, so I don’t have the eyesight to see the child?” Said, he pushed Zhu Shiqi, who was kneeling beside him with a blank face, and urged. : “Quick, I beg your eldest brother, let him grant me two deaths, and let us also touch the glory of His Highness Thirteenth and Lord Liu.”
