Just in time for rain [恰逢雨连天] - Chapter 40

[40. Chapter 39]

This is the anti-theft chapter

Su Jin invited her to the flower hall, poured a cup of tea and handed it to her.

Yan Ziqi didn’t look like a boudoir girl. She looked around all the way, and she probably had never been taught “clean etiquette, clear ears, no evil eyes”.

Su Jin watched her take a sip of tea and asked, “Do you know why your son put the jade seal on the Gongshi’s place?”

Yan Ziqi said, “Isn’t there guards guarding the entrance and exit of the Gongshi’s place, they have never seen my house? Third young master, the young master will show them with this jade seal.”

Su Jin asked back: “He is the young master of the Zhan Shifu, wouldn’t it be more appropriate to use the official seal to prove his identity?”

Yan Ziqi said embarrassingly: “My young master is in a hurry to go out. , without the official seal.”

“Really? Who are you, the third son of Yan, who even knows whether he has the official seal on his body?” Su Jin asked again, after a pause, he clapped his hands and called out calmly. : “Miss Yan.”

Yan Ziqi was stunned for a moment. Today, she deliberately combed her maid’s head, wore a plain skirt, and dressed up inside and out. She thought everything was safe, but Su Jin only looked at her. With two eyes, you can see through her identity.

Yan Ziqi stood up and smiled far-fetchedly: “Young Master Su misunderstood, I… what kind of young lady is a slave, but I only serve the third young master personally, so I know more.”

Su Jin’s eyes fell out of the window, and it took three minutes , when it was time for the high value, the sky was already bright.

She didn’t want to entangle with Yan Ziqi too much, so she said to herself: “Although Su is a late governor, but when an ordinary maid sees me, she doesn’t call me an adult, or an official at any rate, but you call me son.” Yan Ziqi He opened his mouth and was about to defend himself when Su Jin interrupted: “One of them. Second, if you are really a maid, there is no reason why your official will pour tea with you, and you will accept it without refusing. When I saw me, I never saluted me, and since I entered the flower hall, you were also sitting, and I was standing and talking to you, which shows that I am used to being pampered, the third.”

Su Jin stared at Yan Ziqi: “Do you still want to listen to other things?”

Yan Ziqi was so shocked by this big argument that she couldn’t speak, and after a while, she waved her hand embarrassingly: “Hey, that… …” Like a sigh, like a live fish on a chopping board, trying to die in vain.

Su Jin has also dealt with others since he was a child. After all, he has dabbled in the “Four Books of Women”, and he has a general outline of the description of the ladies in his heart, and he is definitely not as indecent as Yan Ziqi.

For a while, I recalled that she had been withdrawn from the family three times, and it was not without reason that it could be traced back.

However, this is also good, she is not delicate or noble, but she is easy to talk.

Su Jin has a purpose: “I can return the jade seal to you, but I want to know why you went to find Chao Qing that day, what did you say to him, and what was the reason for the dispute.”

Yan Ziqi thought for a while with her head lowered and dejected. Finally gave up the struggle: “I can tell you, but—” She raised her head abruptly and looked at Su Jin: “I have a request.”

Su Jin said: “You say it.”

Yan Ziqi said: “Today’s champion parade, take me with you. Go take a look.”

Su Jin was speechless and looked at her silently for a while.

I’m afraid it’s not sick, is it?

Yan Ziqi said eagerly: “Actually, I’m here for this matter. It’s inconvenient to explain the cause and effect to the son, but…”

But Su Jin was not interested in the cause and effect. Hua Ting, turned around and walked to the front hall on duty. The left and right Yan’s jade seals were still in her sleeves, and sooner or later, Yan Ziqi would be able to speak.

As soon as Su Jin crossed the threshold of the front hall, several people on duty in the room all stared at her.

Liu Yichu held a cup of tea unchanged for ten thousand years, “cough” twice, and looked very serious: “Mr. Su, our yamen are valuable, and we don’t want to bring family members.”

Su Jin’s brain hurt instantly, and when he turned around, Yan Ziqi really followed silently, his eyes met, and he smiled awkwardly at her.

Liu Yichu sneaked up to Su Jin, and bumped her with his arm again: “Where are you from? Are you allowed to marry?”

Yan Ziqi was afraid that Su Jin would reveal her identity, so he gave a salute. , said softly: “My lord, my lord has misunderstood. This slave is the maidservant of the third son of the Grand Fu’s mansion, and now I’m here to find Master Su to get a token of my son.” After a pause, he thought of a plan and said, “Young master. He also instructed the servants to take the token, and to give it to the little Marquis of Changping, the Lord Ren Langzhong of the Ministry of Rites, I heard that he is currently walking the streets with the newly-appointed champion.”

Liu Yichu couldn’t help but widen his eyes: “Are you going to the parade?”

Su Jin on the other side had already ordered, “Aqi, prepare a carriage.”

The boy who stood in front of the hall and listened to the corner for half a day stuck his head out, looked at Su Jin, then looked at him again. Looking at Yan Ziqi: “I dare to ask the governor, is the girl going to Confucius Temple or Zhuque Lane? Depending on the time, Xin Dengke and his party should have a few bowls of tea when they go out of the palace gate.

” !” Su Jin suddenly said with a blue vein on his forehead.

At this moment, a person crawled in from the outside: “Master Liu, Governor Su, something happened!”

This person is a yamen who is on duty today, and was assigned to Zhuque Lane by Sun Yinde yesterday. , put it upside down.

Su Jin heard about it.

On the way of the parade, there were people making trouble, and the scene was completely out of control when they reached Suzaku Lane. went in. Some people even fought with officers and soldiers, and some were killed and injured.

The yamen’s face was pale, and he was still in shock: “I have never seen this battle before, those troublemakers have even torn up the imperial list, I’m afraid they will have to toss forever!”

When Liu Yichu heard that there were casualties, his face turned pale, and he asked, “Where’s the chief of the Sun House? Didn’t he take someone to patrol earlier? Didn’t he follow Master Zhuang Yuan’s group? Didn’t help the Wucheng soldier Ma Sizhi? Take care of this group of destitute people?” The

yamen swallowed his saliva: “It was originally accompanied by people, but when we walked to the Confucius Temple, those troublemakers saw that the people wearing official uniforms did not recognize their six relatives, and Master Sun just…”

“You bastard. !” Before he could finish speaking, Liu Yichu slammed a punch on the doorpost, and he didn’t care who was big or small, he turned to look at Su Jin, and asked, “What do you want to do?”

Su Jin only felt that from yesterday to this morning, one wave after another was like a thunderous wave hitting the shore, causing her temples to hurt, but now that she has reached the critical moment of life and death, she has calmed down strangely, and glanced out of the corner of the eye. Yan Ziqi, who had quietly retreated step by step,

shouted loudly, “Stop!” Accompanied by this shout, the two yamen guarding outside the mansion crossed fire and water sticks and stopped in front of Yan Ziqi. .

Su Jin instructed in a deep voice: “Come here, tie her up to me!”

Yan Ziqi was dumbfounded: “You dare—” Before he could finish speaking, a guard came with hemp ropes on their backs. The eldest Miss Yan family, thinking she was an ordinary maid, tied her up.

Su Jin asked Aqi again: “Is the carriage ready? Take her to the Taifu’s house.”

Yan Ziqi was so anxious that she burst into tears: “If you do this, you won’t be afraid to offend the Yan family and the Taifu?”

Su Jin said: “If you go to Suzaku Alley, I don’t need to put my head on my neck.” She paused, then thought again that there are gangsters who are taking advantage of the chaos in the capital. It may not be safe once it is gone, so he took out the Yan’s jade seal from his sleeve, handed it to Yan Ziqi, and said coldly, “Take the self-defense.”

Su Jin watched Aqi carry Yan Ziqi into the carriage, and turned back to meet Yan Ziqi. Liu Yichu said: “You stay and prepare a horse for me.”

Liu Yichu was stunned: “Are you crazy?”

Su Jin turned back into the hall like a gust of wind, took the official uniform and put it on his body, and said, “Why not? Stay here and wait for death? Or do you want to arrest people with a dozen yamen? I’m afraid you won’t even be able to kill the Confucius Temple. In the past, I will be beaten back.” The

clerk had prepared his horse, Liu Yichu thought that the yamen clerk said that the group of troublemakers saw that the six relatives who were the official did not recognize him, and felt that Su Jin was almost dead, and then persuaded: “Then why don’t you Take off this official uniform!”

Su Jin turned on his horse: “My district governor, without this official uniform, how can I send the yamen who are still on the spot? How can I borrow someone from Wucheng Soldiers and Horses?”

Liu Yichu He grabbed the reins, swallowed hard and said: “Shi Yu, listen to me, how can the yamen’s errands be more important than your own life? It’s not good for today’s bad, the big deal is to quit the job, and later The days are long and long, so why can’t you live with yourself?”

Su Jin knew that he was doing it for his own good.

She reined herself on the horse, looking at the unpredictable clouds in the sky, and the sound of shouting and killing suddenly sounded in her ears.

The catastrophe ten years ago is still deafening, let alone today?

Su Jin said in a low voice, “It’s not that I can’t live with myself, it’s my life.”

After hearing this, Liu Yichu let go of the reins in a daze. Su Jin immediately kicked his horse away, splashing smoke and dust on the ground.

A yamen officer asked, “Master Liu, can we go with you?”

Liu Yichu shook his head. There were about ten of them, so what’s the use of going?

He suddenly wanted to laugh. Although Old Thief Sun was inexperienced, he could see Su Jin accurately. He looked like a sensible person, with a stubborn body in his skin.

Liu Yichu didn’t feel good in his heart. He was a person who lived by, and regarded “safety” as more important than anything else.

But Su Jin’s words “human life” seemed to wake him up, giving him a faint glimpse of the consequences of this absurd disturbance.

No wonder the imperial censor of Zuodu and Dali Si Qinghui came to the door together.

Liu Yichu made a decisive decision: “Go to Zhou Tong and let him call as many people as he can, and go to Zhuque Lane to meet with Governor Su.” He then ordered another officer, “You take my official seal and go to Ducha. The hospital went to Lord Liu, and said that Governor Su went to Suzaku Lane alone, and let him no matter what, whether he ordered the imperial censor to patrol the city, or alerted the upper twelve guards, to check the safety of Governor Su.”

After the troubled Shizi , 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 the 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, so when he returned to Zhanshifu, he heard that the censor of Zuodu came to look for him. His first thought was that Mr. Liu was from the south. No wonder he became censor of the capital. When it came to Su Jin who followed Liu Chaoming, he thought to himself, this is also a southerner, no wonder he is a jinshi who has passed the second grade.

It was not until he heard the intention of these two people that he returned to his soul, looked at Su Jin twice, 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 using this official’s face in exchange for the favor of His Highness the Seventeenth, the capital is just your talent, and he made a lot of money and made a lot of money. It’s just a pity 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 of this, he casually asked, “Aren’t you injured?”

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

Where did the several 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 It is said 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 not help but make people think about the reason, is there any reason to fall into the hands of the lower official?”
