Just in time for rain [恰逢雨连天] - Chapter 6

[6. Chapter 5]

Xu Yuanzhe said: “About the beginning of this month, Brother Yunsheng came back very drunk and sullen. He said that he went to the Xunyue Building in Qinhuai Hefang. He also told me not to mention this to Mr.

Su .” Jin asked, “Why can’t you tell me about it?”

Gongsheng went to Yanxiang and Hefang as a regular occurrence, and they just turned a blind eye to each other, so why couldn’t they talk to others?

Xu Yuanzhe said, “If he doesn’t want to say it, I won’t be able to ask questions. From the beginning to the end, I don’t even know which Hefang he went to or who he met.”

Chao Qing disappeared on the ninth day of the fourth lunar month, which means that , He disappeared a few days after he went to Hefang.

But Yan Ziqi is the daughter of the Grand Fu’s mansion. If the jade seal left by Gong Shi was really her, how could it have anything to do with the land of fireworks and water workshop?

Su Jin nodded: “I understand.” He looked up at Ri Ying, it was already half an hour, and he said, “You go back first.”

Xu Yuanzhe hesitated for a moment, and took out a booklet from his arms. Gao”.

In the 14th year of Jingyuan, the sage promulgated the decree “The Great Letter”, ordering every household to keep it.

Xu Yuanzhe said bluntly: “This volume was originally copied by Brother Yunsheng for Mr. Yunsheng, but unfortunately he only copied half of it. It will be passed on tomorrow to hear the seal. Yuanzhe has a leg problem and will not be able to stay in Beijing. I will help Yunsheng in the second half. If my brother copied it, it can be considered that before I leave, I will do something for him and my husband.”

There was a sense of despair in his words – he has a stubborn illness that makes it difficult for him to be an official, and his lameness is a problem that can’t be hidden. Not a good ranking.

However, Su Jin said: “You are diligent in your studies, and others are not involved. If you don’t know what others are, you don’t know others, and the sage has a good eye, so you may not be able to ascend the armor.”

Xu Yuanzhe thanked himself, bowed his hands again, and returned the tribute. The sergeant went.

The clouds on the horizon covered the sun, and the back alley was darkened. A wall outside is the backyard of the Gongshi Institute, and there are faint voices, which is probably the rule of the people from the Ministry of Rites to teach the missionaries.

This tribute house was built five years ago for the officials who were taking the exam.

It was also that year, when Su Jin went to Beijing to take the exam, was startled by the galloping officials and horses, and accidentally knocked over a pen and ink booth.

The stall owner is a white and clean scholar. Su Jin wanted to compensate him for money, but he said with confidence: “This place’s calligraphy and painting are the next three days of hard work. Gold and silver are easy to find, but hard work is hard to buy.”

Su Jin did not want to entangle with him, and put the Throwing all the money into him, he turned around and left.

Unexpectedly, this stall owner is really a dignified person, holding the calligraphy and paintings on the ground in his arms, following him all the way, and shouting all the way: “Return your money, I can’t ask for it.”

Su Jin was so troubled that he arrived at the Gongshi’s place and met with him. Wu Wei gave a nod and said, “There is

a liar in the back of the river and lake, holding a bundle of calligraphy and painting, specializing in forced buying and selling. If you see it, you can immediately drive it away to save trouble.” clean.

On the other hand, she put her luggage away, and was slapped on the back without paying attention.

The scholar stall owner bent his eyes: “Oh, you are Qizhou Jieyuan Su Jin.”

Looking around, the courtyard was silent, and Su Jin asked dumbfoundedly, “You climbed over the wall and came in?” In

early spring, Xing Xing Flowers adorned the branches, knocked down the eaves.

Under the raised eaves, the scholar’s eyes were like the moon, and his smile was about to overflow, and he handed the name post with both hands: “The next name is Chao, the name is clear, the word Yunsheng, unfortunately, and Xiongtai are the same imperial examination students.

” , I wonder if I can exchange posts with Xiongtai?

Su Jin remembered the old things, leaned against the wall in the back alley and was startled.

Chao Qing should have taken the same subject with her, but unfortunately his father passed away after the Spring Festival that year, and he returned to his hometown Dingyou for three years.

By noon, the sun’s head was a hedgehog with its thorns plucked, and the poisonous awns were all put away, and hung lightly behind the clouds.

Zhou Ping came to the back alley to find Su Jin and asked her to go back to the yamen together.

Su Jin asked: “Have you and the Ministry of Rites inquired about it?”

Zhou Ping sighed: “It is the same set of rules for people to sing and sing, and I won’t be able to ask anything again. Let me go back and think about it, and wait until I think of what is inappropriate. It’s not too late to think about it carefully.” After an hour of free time in the

afternoon, Liu Yichu held a teacup and stood at the yamen’s door looking up at the sky. Out of the corner of the eye, he glanced at Su Jin, who came back from “Dai Jian’er”, and winked desperately.

Su Jin will feel sorry, turn around and leave, but it is too late.

There was a shout from the yamen, and accompanied by the sound, a man came out. He was short in stature and full of official style. It was the “old thief Sun” in Liu Yichu’s mouth, Sun Yinde, the Prime Minister of Ying Tianfu.

A few days ago, Sun Yinde went to Qingyanfang to hang out under the guise of handling the case. This morning, I took advantage of Yang Fuyin’s efforts to go to the Metropolitan Court to sneak back. He was guilty of being a thief, but someone just came in and said that Su Jin had been lazy for the past two days, and he was very happy. official prestige.

Sun Yinde ordered the yacha to take Su Jin outside the Retirement Hall, and said coldly, “Kneel down.” He took the tea handed over by the next person with one hand, and asked, “Where are you going?

” Zhou Ping on the side said: “If you go back to the lord, this is my fault. There have been many troubles in the past few days. I can’t worry about it, so I asked Su Jin to accompany him and go to the Gongshi’s to see everything.”

Sun Yinde turned over the tea cover and said slowly: “Is this official asking about today?”

Su Jin kowtowed to the ground and said, “If you go back to your lord, Xiaguan went to Dali Temple a few days ago to deal with the case of the missing Gong Shideng. Due to personal matters, I stayed out for more than two days.”

It is absolutely impossible to explain the matter of writing policy questions for His Royal Highness in the palace . Lose this dumb.

Sun Yinde sneered: “Personal affairs? When you are going in and out of Chaowei Guanchen, is it your time to do private affairs?” After a pause, he ordered: “Come here, get me a chair.”

This is to sit down and examine carefully. .

The clouds on the top of the head rolled, and the fog was full of fog. It was dark in the distance, and it was raining.

Sun Yinde raised his head and glanced at the sky, instructing the servant to put the chair under the eaves, and while drinking tea, he said: “You think this lord doesn’t know, what personal affairs can you have? Eighty percent of the time, you have found a way to check on your old friend. It’s a case.”

Su Jin said: “My lord misunderstood, since your lord has made three and five appeals, Chao Qing’s case cannot be investigated, so there is no need to investigate it

. Sophistry?” Sun Yinde stood up and said sternly: “Someone will put a board on me, but I want to see if his bones are hard, or if it’s my official—” Before he

finished speaking, a thunderbolt struck in the air, and the entire photo retreated. Sitang is bright and dark.

Sun Yinde was startled by this Huanghuang Tianwei, knowing that he was in the wrong, and swallowed the second half of his words.

Liu Yichu took the opportunity to persuade: “Sir Sun, it’s almost time, and Lord Fu Yin is about to return to the yamen. If he learns about Su Jin’s evil deeds, he will have to try again. It’s better to take a break when you’re working on a case outside today, what do you think?”

Yingtian Governor Yang Zhiwei, although he’s not open, has always valued Su Jin. .

After being woken up by Liu Yichu, Sun Yinde climbed down the pole, nodded and said, “Yes, this officer has been restless for the past few days because of the case in his hand, and I am really tired, so I will leave this servant to Yang Fu Yin to deal with it. “He looked up again and looked outside the corridor, accompanied by the sound of thunder just now, the big raindrops had already fallen, and he said with a sullen face: “But the punishment is still to be punished, and let him kneel here first, so that he can reflect. I’ve already passed it, and when I figure it out, I’ll come back to the official’s words.”

Su Jin knelt in the wind and rain, soaked all over, he said so, and agreed.

Sun Yinde pointed to the sky, raised the corner of his mouth and sneered: “Su Jin, I never do anything wrong in my life, and I’m not afraid of ghosts knocking on the door in the middle of the night. If you call this Huoxianzi scorched later, then you deserve it.

” , a yaman ran from the front hall, and said loudly: “Master Sun, Master Yang has returned to the mansion!”

Sun Yinde said displeased: “I’ll be back, what are you shouting about?” The

servant fell to his knees on the ground, his face The fear did not diminish: “Master Sun, and Master Yang returned to the yamen together, as well as Master Zhang, the minister of Dali Temple, and Master Liu, the censor of

Zuodu . Now Master Yang has brought the two adults to the retreat hall.” Fang Luo, three people have circled out of the front porch.

Sun Yinde rubbed his eyes, recognized the person who was coming, and hurried forward and knelt on the ground: “Xiaguan should be the prime minister of Tianfu, Sun Yinde, to see Lord Liu and Lord Zhang. Xiaguan did not know that the two adults were visiting, and they were too far away to welcome him. Please convict the two adults!”

Zhang Shishan said, “Since you don’t know that Lord Liu and I are visiting, He Laiyuan will greet you and speak up.”

Sun Yinde kowtowed and said yes, stood up, and went to look at Liu Chaoming’s face.

Liu Chaoming’s face was cold and still, his eyes seemed to be inadvertent, falling on the person kneeling in the misty rain.

Sun Yinde said righteously: “Report to Mr. Liu, this person is the governor of our government, because of misbehavior, slack and ignorance, and private investigation of banned cases, I was punished and kneeled here, waiting to be dealt with.” He scolded: “Su Jin, you haven’t met Master Liu, Master Zhang.”

Only then did Su Jin turn around and look at the porch.

The rain was pouring so hard that people couldn’t see the world in front of them.

Her gaze stayed on Liu Chaoming for a moment, and the corner of her mouth moved slightly.

About what I wanted to say, or I wanted to ask myself, in just a few days, this is the first time I’ve seen it.

Then he looked at the empty space, and even his tone was calm and self-controlled: “Xiaguan Su Jin, see Lord Liu, see Lord Zhang.”

This indifference caused Liu Chaoming’s self-proclaimed clear mind to burst into chaos, as if someone grabbed the wolf’s tip and flicked the old sundial.

But what happened to the mess, he didn’t know.

Seeing that his expression was different, Sun Yinde asked tentatively, “Master Liu, in your opinion, how should this fellow be handled?”

The confusion at the unknown gradually turned into an indescribable and uncontrollable anger, but he couldn’t tell the reason.

Liu Chaoming walked towards the retreat hall, and threw a cold sentence: “Kneel down.”
