Just in time for rain [恰逢雨连天] - Chapter 63

[63. Sixty-two chapters]

This is Zhang

Chunwei, a burglar. So far, there have been 15 cases of officials gathering crowds to make troubles. There have also been cases submitted to the Dali Temple and the Metropolitan Court to sue Qiu Ge, the chief examination officer of Chunqi, for favoritism and fraud.

The Kechang case is no trivial matter. After discussing with Zhang Shishan, Liu Chaoming only briefly reported to the sage of Ming Dynasty, and decided to wait for a thorough investigation after being passed down to the congregation.

The top priority is to pass on the safety of the family that day. After the ceremony, the champion walks through the streets, one and three people leave from Chengtianmen, pass through Confucius Temple, and arrive at Zhuque Lane. All the way, they should be strictly guarded and must not go wrong.

Yang Zhiwei said: “Tomorrow I will be in the palace, and all matters of the government office should be dispatched by Sun Fucheng. According to the intention of Lord Liu, Lord Zhang, if there is any trouble, we will bring them back to the government together.

” The champion is parading in the streets, and the people are scrambling to watch it. If someone really makes trouble and mixes with the people, how can it be so easy to catch?

His dignified governors have taken refuge in the palace and left him with this drudgery? Think beautifully.

Sun Yinde lifted his robe and knelt on the ground, saying, “The security guards of the five cities are responsible for the security of the streets. If there are people making trouble, why don’t you ask the commander to ask for someone?” Hand it over to the next official?”

Yang Zhiwei said: “You don’t have to worry about this, I will leave the government’s

seal with you.” Sun Yinde added: “If the lower official takes the yamen to patrol the security, who will be in charge of the capital’s yamen? ?”

Yang Zhiwei saw him shirk again and again, and said displeasedly: “Freedom should be left to Liu to push the official, there are many affairs in the office, but it is not impossible to leave someone.”

Liu Yichu heard this, but he wondered: “Go down. Officials try cases and file lawsuits on weekdays, but I’m not familiar with the rules of the family, so I’m afraid it will be difficult to take up this position.”

Zhang Shishan’s expression was not worried: “The dignified capital’s yamen, even a ceremonial and ceremonial, dispatched Can’t find the people in town?”

Zhou Ping took the opportunity to say: “Reporting to your lord, there is a governor in the yazhong, who was born as a jinshi, and was taught the etiquette system in the past.”

Zhang Shishan naturally knew that this person was Su Jin, who was kneeling outside the Retreat Hall.

It was windy and rainy outside, and he was thinking about the safety of his future life. Hearing this, he said: “I ordered him to come in and talk.”

Shaoqing, Su Jin stood outside the threshold of the retreat hall, and saluted Zhang Shishan and Liu Chaoming. She was drenched in the rain and did not enter the hall for fear of bringing moisture in.

Zhang Shishan originally wanted her to change her clothes, but Liu Chaoming had always looked pale since he arrived at the government office. Zhang Shishan knew that he had always valued people who were polite and restrained. “Since you are a jinshi, you must be familiar with the rules of the Grand Ceremony, so you will start from singing and walk through the streets, and tell them one by one.

” “I can’t hear clearly.”

Su Jin paused for a while, and had to start from the beginning in a louder voice.

Spring thunder rumbled, it was raining darkly, Liu Chaoming’s face was cold, he couldn’t bear to listen any longer, put the tea cup on the case, and reprimanded: “No one taught you where to stand and answer. Is it? ” Tui Sitang was

silent, Su Jin said: “Go back to the lord, the lower official is completely wet, I am afraid that the cold will be brought into the hall, if the adults are infected with the sickness, it should be the sin of the lower official.”

Liu Chaoming’s complexion Even more ugly: “Then you are still here?”

His words were endless, as if he was about to be convicted and punished.

Su Jin hesitated for a moment, then immediately knelt down and gave a big salute, and hurriedly retreated. After a while, she came back and changed into clean clothes.

The rain eased a little, and Chunyang broke free from the clouds and shed half a ray of light, making the retreat half bright and half dark.

Su Jin raised his eyelids and glanced at the hall. Liu Chaoming sat silently in the light and shadow, the inexplicable hostility had dissipated a lot, and his brows and eyes revealed the same depth as always.

She breathed a sigh of relief, and according to Zhang Shishan’s words, carefully repeated the rules of the family, and there was nothing wrong.

Zhang Shishan nodded and ordered all the others to retreat, leaving only Su Jin.

He instructed: “Although it is stated that you will be dispatched at the ya office tomorrow, just in case, but Sun Yinde is unreliable after all, you should be more careful this day.”

Su Jin said yes.

Although she had changed clothes, her hair was still fresh, and Ling Ling Shui meant that she had trimmed eyebrows and bright eyes, which was extremely clear.

Liu Chaoming’s eyes swept across Su Jin, and said lightly: “Tomorrow, I will order the Department of Punishment to send you a death row prisoner.

”

Su Jin pondered for a moment, then tentatively asked: “Your majesty means to make a fuss about this death row prisoner, if there are officials who make trouble and kill a hundred people?”

Liu Chaoming was noncommittal: “You can do it.”

Su Jin said silently: “Master Liu, A scholar from Xiaguan has never even hurt anyone, a gentleman is far away from the kitchen, he would rather see his life than see him die, let alone take someone’s life, but Xiaguan would not.”

Liu Chaoming said blankly: “You are born to be dragged . Text?”

Su Jin said nothing.

Liu Chaoming stood up, passed by her, and left a cold sentence: “If you don’t know how to learn, then you can learn.” At

night, the glow of the rosy sky burst out, and one side of the sky was as bright as fire. Standing team, send off the two adults.

Just now, Liu Chaoming’s harsh attitude towards Su Jin was seen by Sun Yinde.

He stood in front of the carriage and horses and asked for advice as he liked: “Master Liu, I don’t know that Governor Su is ignorant of being lazy, secretly investigating and banning cases, and punishing several crimes together. What should be done?”

Liu Chaoming turned his head to look at him. There was no emotion in the voice: “He has privately investigated and banned the case?”

Sun Yinde hurriedly stepped forward to help Liu Chaoming get on the carriage, and said, “The forbidden case is just a theory, in fact, it is all his imagination. A while ago, a Gong Shi went back to his hometown privately, and he insisted that he was missing. If the trouble goes to the Taifu’s mansion, Zhan Shi’s mansion will go up, if it is not blocked by the subordinate officials, I am afraid it will cause chaos in the world.”

Seeing that Liu Chaoming was silent, Sun Yinde said in a low voice: “Your Excellency does not know, this Su The governor looks like a sensible man, with a stubborn bone wrapped in his skin, and his stinky temper is so bad that he offended the officials a few years ago by being a demon, and he was punished with eighty sticks…”

He didn’t finish his words. , in front of the carriage, a small official of the prefectural court raised his hand and lowered the curtain of the carriage, separating him from Liu Chaoming from the inner and outer worlds.

The little official threw his hands at Sun Yinde and said with a smile, “Master Sun, it’s getting late now. If you really have something to say, why don’t you talk to Master Liu at the Supreme Court another day.

” The first- and fourth-grade manor of the Xiaguan District, I don’t know when I should come to the door, so as not to disturb the Zuodu Yushi-sama?” The

little official gave the coachman a wink, and the coachman whipped the whip, and the carriage walked away.

The clerk bent a pair of smiling eyes, gave Sun Yinde a nod, and said apologetically, “It was my fault. Yesterday, when the imperial censor was patrolling the streets, I saw that Mr. Sun, you went to Qingyanfang when you were on duty, and you were so drunk. Ni, when I was just leaving the yamen, Master Liu also told me to go down to the office, saying that when this matter is over, I will invite Master Sun to drink tea at the Duchayuan.”

Su Jin also published “Sui Lv”, “Sui Li Code” and “Sui Law Code” in the same night. “Jingshi Streets and Alleys” read it again.

The two officials of the Dali Temple Duchayuan came to the door at the same time. She didn’t dare to neglect. In addition to the list of tributes she had read a few days ago, she guessed in her heart that the trouble of the official this time was not as simple as it seemed.

Since ancient times, the Kechang case has always been a bloody storm with skin and bones.

Emperor Jing Yuan was not even a benevolent emperor. In the massive rebellion case more than ten years ago, he dismissed Zhongshu Province, abolished the prime minister, and planted the nine clans, implicated more than ten thousand people, and is still investigating his comrades to this day.

Su Jin knew that it was precisely because of this that Liu Chaoming did not go to the Fifth Army Governor’s Mansion or the Twelve Guards, but instructed the district Yingtian Mansion to bring the yamen to get people. When the mob took custody.

Only by simplifying the essence of the event can it not lead to catastrophe.

After all, he was someone who was used to learning and doing things. He flipped through the book like an old monk and entered the meditation. It was not until there was a knock on the door outside that Su Jin came back to his senses.

The sky was turning white with fish belly, Liu Yichu held a cup of hot tea, yawned and said enviously, “It’s still good luck to you.”

Su Jin said, “What?”

Liu Yichu said gloomily, “Last night, old thief Sun ordered heavenly soldiers and heavenly generals, On the second day of the day, he asked us to get up and go with him to inspect various points in the city. You were named by Mr. Zhang to stay in the town, but I didn’t quarrel with you.”

Su Jin said: “Since everyone has been taken away, why are you still here? ”

Liu Yichu said: “If you don’t keep me, you still expect Lao Thief Sun to keep Zhou Gaoyan? He wants you to spend eight lifetimes of blood mold and take everyone away, and he is determined not to make you feel better. You Or ask the Bodhisattva to bless you, don’t let anything happen today, otherwise the old thief Sun will be patrolling outside, at most it will be a disadvantage, you are not calm in this town, beware that the Liu Dangjia of the police inspector will strip you alive. ”

Su Jin frowned and said, “How many people are left in the yamen right now?”

Liu Yichu said, “Including me, there are about ten people.” As he spoke, he suddenly bumped Su Jin with his elbow, and said happily: “I told you that you are so stinky, so it turns out that you are hiding a fairy girl, and your mouth is quite tight.”

Su Jin listened to his nonsense, and he bolted the door expressionlessly, and changed his body to light blue and straight. After washing his face hastily, he opened the door again, and said coldly, “Last time you slandered Gao Yan for having a relationship, but that person was…”

He stopped halfway through his words, and the person standing outside the door had already From Liu Yichu to a woman in pink clothes.

The sun was about to dawn, the wind was blowing from the end of the day, and the tall and straight green bamboo in the west corner seemed to be stained with clear frost. The woman was still looking around, following the prestige and seeing Su Jin, she stayed for a long time before asking: ” Is it… Master Su?”

It was Ren Xuan’s attendant, and brother A Li came: “This morning, the master and the master left in a hurry, and they even forgot to bring the list of tributes they kept, I brought them here, and thought again Or if you want to make a rain, you can also bring Mr.’s umbrella with you.” He handed the oil-paper umbrella in his hand to Su Jin, and looked around: “As expected, I guessed it right, Mu Chun said this day. Change will change.”

Su Jin thanked him, and when he saw the corner of the booklet in his arms, he couldn’t help asking: “I remember that the booklet of the Ministry of Rites is inlaid with blue and green cloud patterns, how is this different?”

Ali said: “Oh, this is Luo Shangshu The list of tributes that I asked in private is said to be requested by Master Liu of the Metropolitan Chayuan, not a formal scripture, but it is more complete than the list of the Ministry of Rites.”

He took out the document and showed it to Su Jin, “There is nothing shameful. , that the new head of the Metropolitan Police Department has a lenient management, even the eighteenth generation of the poor scholar’s ancestors have to touch the door and tell me to tell me, what to do with these things, will you be able to study well?”

Su Jin casually After flipping through it, A Li’s words are true. This book is like a genealogy, and it is true that it has been traced back to the 18th generation of the ancestors. Seeing Su Jin’s gloomy

face, A Li came up and asked, “Mr. Su, when you look at this book, you find something strange?”

Su Jin said, “Why?”

The scholars, almost all of them are from the south, and the young master said that there are so many people from the north and south, and I don’t know what bad things will happen!”

Not to mention the tribute scholars in this category, just talking about the people who came from all over the place before the Spring Festival. It is also the southerners who make a lot of numbers, and after the Spring Festival, when the apricot list came out, there were 89 tributes, and only seven people in the north. That is why some northern officials were dissatisfied, and they went to the tributes a few times, or Zhou. Ping took the yacha to coax the people away.

Su Jin avoided the important and took it lightly: “Little Marquis thinks too much, Jiangnan is the most talented person in the world, and it’s not strange to raise more sons and tributes.”

They were talking under the eaves of the porch, when a thunderstorm suddenly struck in the distance, a pea-sized drop of water fell, and a place under the eaves was instantly wet.

A Li held up his umbrella and said to Su Jin: “The rain is so fast that the area under the eaves can’t cover it, so why don’t you go to the Ministry of Rites with me, sir, and the little Hou Ye will come back to the Ministry of Rites if he doesn’t see anyone when he comes out. ”

Su Jin also thought so, so he held up his umbrella and went to the Ministry of Rites with him.

This day was the palace examination, and the people from the Ministry of Rites went to the Fengtian Temple, leaving a chief of the rites system alone on duty.

The principal, surnamed Jiang, was leaning on the desk and dozing off. In a trance, he heard murmurs from outside the corridor. He stuck his head out to recognize the person, greeted him, and said, “What wind is blowing Brother Ali here?” Kuo A Li’s umbrella was drying aside, and half bent over to invite people in: “But you brought documents for the Marquis?”

“Yes, the little Marquis left in a hurry in the morning, and forgot the list of tributes requested by the Court. , I’ll bring it here.” Ali replied, reaching out and comparing “please” with Su Jin.

Only then did Mr. Jiang notice Su Jin, looked up and down, and saw that she was dressed in plain clothes, standing down, with an extremely elegant bearing. For a while, she was uncertain about the identity of this person, raised her eyebrows and asked humbly: “Who is this person?”

Su Jin delivered After reading the famous post, he greeted him and said, “Mr. Su is with me.”

Director Jiang opened the famous post and saw that it was the Governor of the Eighth Grade from the district of Yingtianfu. He straightened his waist and said lightly, “Oh, Then let’s go inside together.”

Before the three of them were seated, Master Liu of the Supreme Court also arrived, followed by Master Zhao Yanzhao, the second head of the Supreme Court, the Deputy Chief Censor.

Mr. Jiang was startled, and his drowsy head was completely awake. Immediately invited two nobles to sit, served tea, and respectfully said: “The ‘Dragon Tuan’er rewarded by the sage has finished eating in the early ten days, and there are still some ‘silver threads’ left, which were cooked in the morning by the humble post, two adults. Let’s go .”

Zhao Yan smiled and said, “That’s good, we have the ‘Long Tuan’er in one piece, the Ministry of Rites likes to eat it, you can take it to the Supreme Court tomorrow.”

Director Jiang nodded and said yes, thinking After thinking about it, he said in panic, “How dare you not dare.”

Zhao Yan waved his hand, indicating that there is no need to be polite, and said: “Master Liu and I are going to the outside of the palace. Thinking that the list of tributes that I asked the Ministry of Rites to sort out a few days ago is almost ready, we will come to pick it up.”

Director Jiang bowed . “Yes, Lord Shang Shu and the little Marquis have both warned about this. Yesterday, the lower official sorted out the roster, and the little Marquis also brought it back to the manor to check it. No, I was afraid that the Fengtian Palace was busy, and specifically told Brother Ali to send it to the palace. Come.” After saying that, he looked at Ali with a smile, waiting for him to take out the paperwork to hand over.

A Li thought that this time it was bad luck. He first broke up with Su Jin and gave her the roster but didn’t get it back.

Lord Liu’s iron-fisted method, the little Marquis, has been nagging him a lot. If he was asked to arrest him now, he found that he had handed over the documents of the Ministry of Rites to an outsider, and killing him would be trivial, and it would be impossible to implicate the little Marquis.

A Li was sweating on his forehead in a hurry, his knees softened and he was about to kneel. Su Jin took a step ahead of him and presented the document with both hands: “Master Liu, Master Zhao, please take a look.”

A Li closed his eyes, thinking about it, and Director Jiang was also dumbfounded . , I also feel that the game is almost over.

The hall was deadly silent. After a long while, Liu Chaoming asked coldly, “How come the documents from the Ministry of Rites are on you?”
