Just in time for rain [恰逢雨连天] - Chapter 250

[250. two forty-nine chapters]

This is the director of the anti-theft Zhang

Jiang wiped a tear: “Why can’t you, the lower official heard Mr. Liu and his old man helping Su Jin investigate the case, asking about the date of disappearance, and gossip about Yan Zhan, who does not know the censor of Zuodu? He is an iron-faced Bodhisattva, can you ask his old man for help, without a strong friendship?”

Ren Xuan was stunned for a while, but Shen Xi, the minister 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. It’s not appropriate for you to call Mr. Liu the old man, right?”

Mr. Jiang broke the jar and smashed: “What’s wrong? It’s my grandfather who can kill me.” Shen

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

“You?” Master Jiang looked up at him with tears in his eyes: “You are in charge of money, my ancestor!”

With a round of laughter, Ren Xuan stood at the threshold and sat down beside Director Jiang, puzzled.

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 note? 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.

Ren Xuan didn’t know that Su Jinji didn’t remember Zhu Nanxian, but when His Highness the Thirteenth made a fuss about the official department for a former Hanlin, it was a momentary talk.

If Chao Qing’s case had nowhere to go, His Highness Thirteenth would be undecided and willing to take care of this business.

Ren Xuan rushed back excitedly, originally wanting to tell Su Jin and Zhu Shisan the good news that he was returning to Beijing, but Liu Chaoming stepped in out of thin air, like a basin of cold water, making his kindness seem superfluous.

A Li prepared the sedan chair, came in and asked, “Little Marquis, are you going to Ying Tianfu Yamen to find Mr. Su?”

Ren Xuan waved his hand: “No need, let’s go back to the mansion first.”

Su Jin returned to the mansion, the sky was already dark, and when he returned to the premises, Zhou Ping came out of the main room, grabbed her and asked, “I haven’t seen you for two days. , where have you been?”

Su Jin saw him sweating profusely and his clothes were dirty, and said, “Don’t ask me, what’s the matter with you?”

Zhou Ping sighed: “Don’t mention it, those fallen officials. I made trouble at the Confucius Temple again today. I took the yacha to coax people, and there was a conflict. Some people took advantage of the chaos and overturned me to the ground. Fortunately, the soldiers and horses from the five cities came to make trouble. I just came back.”

Su Jin walked over to the case, poured a cup of tea and handed it to him: “This yamen knows that you are honest, and usually just throws tricky cases to you, now it’s better, If someone is making trouble outside, he also asks you to go, you are a scholar, are you going to preach to the troublemaker?”

Zhou Ping took the tea and comforted her: “This time the troublemaker is also a scholar, so it’s also appropriate for me to preach.”

Su Jin thought of the list of tributes he had read in the morning, and couldn’t help but say: “If there are troubles again, you can’t go there. You can’t push it away, so you just call yourself sick.”

Zhou Ping responded repeatedly and asked again, “Chao Qing disappeared. Do you have any eyebrows?”

Su Jin poured a cup of tea for himself: “A little.”

Zhou Ping looked around, pulled her to the porch, and whispered, “Yesterday you left, I’ll go again. Gong Shisuo inquired about it, but happened to bump into the servant girl of the third son of the Yan family, saying that the son of his family had left the jade seal here, and she came to pick it up specially.”

“Yesterday?”

Judging from the current look, Yan Zi said yes It was only this morning that I learned that the Yan family had a jade seal that had fallen on the Gongshi. Where did this maid come from, who has the ability to predict the future?

Zhou Ping said: “Isn’t that jade seal taken away by you? I told her that Chao Qing has disappeared, and the yamen wants to investigate the case and take away the evidence. If she wants the jade seal, she can only come to the capital yamen in two days. .”

Su Jin asked, “Will she come?”

Zhou Ping said: “She said that she can’t get away tomorrow, and she will come before dawn the next day.”

Zhou Ping saw that Su Jin was silent, and added: “I think this maid is acting strangely, so I wrote down her appearance. When Lord Yang returns to the mansion, you can ask him about this person.”

Su Jin shook his head and said, “No, I already know who she is.”

Mrs. Yan had to have one wife and four sons, the eldest son and the second son were not in the capital except for three Young Master Yan Ziyan, who was in the manor on weekdays, there was a young lady who was sent back three times to kiss her and was waiting to be in her boudoir.

Yan’s jade seal is only passed down to the direct line. Since the three young masters have no time to spare, the only person who left the jade seal at the Gong Shi’s that day can only be the infamous Miss Yan, Yan Ziqi.

On duty the next day, there was always talk about the officials making troubles in the government office. Seeing Zhou Ping coming, he hurriedly grabbed and questioned the details.

Zhou Ping answered them one by one, and finally said: “The chief examiner of Chunqi is Mr. Qiu Ge, who is fair and honest, and everyone in the world knows that it’s hard to feel bad, let these officials make trouble, and when they calm down, they will dissipate. Now , it’s not a big deal.”

Liu Tuiguan laughed and said: “At the moment, Zhou Tong will judge you for being lenient. Did you know that last night, the Supreme Court came to invite Master Yang to drink tea, so he discussed it all night and returned it. He didn’t come back.”

Zhou Ping was shocked: “The Metropolitan Court is also in charge of this troublesome official?”

Liu Tuiguan said: “Do you think it’s a trivial matter? Last year, Mr. Gao from Quzhou was transferred to the inner court. Just because he was born in the second division, the people in it didn’t even look at him, so he couldn’t stand it a while ago, so he just started his career.”
