Just in time for rain [恰逢雨连天] - Chapter 84

[84. Chapter 83]

This is the appearance of Zhang Yan Ziqi, a burglar

who does not have a boudoir girl. Looking around all the way, he has probably never been taught “etiquette and cleanliness, no deaf 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 the Gongshi’s place guarded by military guards, they have never seen my house? Third young master, the young master will show them this jade seal.”

Su Jin asked back: “He is the young master of Zhan’s office, 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, Young Master Yan, and even know whether he has the official seal on his body?” Su Jin asked again, after a pause, he clapped his hands together 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, and I know more.

” , 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 talking to you, so it was obvious that I was used to being pampered, and the third.”

Su Jin fixed his eyes on Yan Ziqi: “I have to listen to the fourth. The fifth?”

Yan Ziqi was so shocked by this big talk that she couldn’t speak. After a while, she waved her hand embarrassingly: “Hey, that…” She seemed to be sighing, like a live fish on a chopping block, trying to die in vain. struggle.

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, but we don’t want to bring family members.”

Su Jin’s brain Ren’er suddenly ached. , Turning around and looking, Yan Ziqi really followed silently behind him, 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 such a battle before, those troublemakers have even torn up the imperial list, I am afraid they will be tossing endlessly!”

Liu Yichu heard the death and injury, his face changed Bai Bai, asked, “Where’s the Sun Mansion? Didn’t he take someone on a tour earlier? Didn’t he follow Master Zhuang Yuan’s group? Didn’t he help the Wucheng soldiers and horses to rule this group of desperate people?”

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

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

Su Jin only felt that from yesterday to now In the morning, one wave after another hit the shore, causing her temples to hurt, but now that she has reached the critical stage of life and death, she has calmed down strangely, swiping out of the corner of the eye and quietly exiting step by step. Yan Ziqi shouted loudly, “Stop!”

With 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. He said, “Why not? Stay here and wait for death? Or do you want to arrest people with a dozen yamen? I’m afraid that if you can’t kill the Confucius Temple, you will be beaten back.”

The officer had already prepared the horse, and Liu Yichu thought that the yamen just now said that the group of troublemakers saw that the six relatives who were in office 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 grabbed the reins and swallowed hard. He spit: “Shi Yu, listen to me, how can the yamen’s errands be more important than your own life? It’s not a good job today, the big deal is to quit the job, and the days to come will be long and long, why bother Can’t get along 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 Zhuque Lane alone, and let him no matter what, whether he ordered the imperial censor of Xuncheng, or alerted the upper twelve guards, to check the safety of Governor Su.”

Zhu Minda was so angry that he smoked. , shouted: “Bring a knife!” The hall door opened in response, the servant knelt

down and presented a knife, Zhu Minda pointed at Zhu Nanxian and said, “Cut his stomach open for Ben Gong!” Seventeen’s legs trembled and he knelt to the ground, clinging to Zhu Minda’s hand and crying, “Brother Huang, if you want to punish me, punish me. Brother Thirteen did this for me!”

Zhu Nanxian was dumbfounded . , looked at him silently, and said in his heart, Brother Huang, you think too much, this Brother Huang is really not doing it for you.

Juminda was very troubled. These two brothers grew up beside him, one kneeling and the other making trouble, what kind of decency?

At present, the seven kings are becoming more and more powerful, and the previous water transport case was handled very beautifully. There is a hidden reputation in the outside world, and even the father and emperor are quite valued.

Although the ancestral rule is that there are direct descendants and no direct descendants, but Emperor Jing Yuan implemented the vassal system, and each crown prince was extraordinary in strength, and the Huaixi area of the Seven Kings was the place where the father emperor started to gain power, which implies. , without further ado.

Juminda was looking forward to his two younger brothers being his right-hand man.

At the age of 13, he has been advocating martial arts since he was a child, saying that his father’s country was beaten from horseback, and he was slightly negligent in literary talent.

However, the seventeen and fourteen are not diligent, the grains are not divided, the writing cannot be written, the martial arts cannot be mounted, and the living waste snacks.

Zhu Minda didn’t bother to care about these two useless people, but turned around and gave Liu Chaoming a nod, saying, “Lord Censor will laugh.”

Liu Chaoming returned with a salute.

Zhu Minda looked at the person kneeling on the ground again, suddenly remembered something, and asked, “Your surname is Su? Have you ever been a jinshi?”

Su Jin buried his head and said, “Go back to His Highness the Prince, Wei Chen was an Enke Jinshi in the 18th year of Jingyuan.” Zhu

Minda gave a “uh” and said again, “You raise your face.”

More to go, charming concubines, gentle and elegant little students.

What do you say about this face that comes into view?

There is a clear air between the eyebrows, which can make people ignore the originally very elegant facial features.

In addition to the temperament, what is more attractive is the pair of eyes, as if there is a burning fire hidden in the bright eyes.

Zhu Minda remembered a sentence, full of poetry and literature, but unfortunately, it was three more desolate.

Zhu Minda asked Zhu Nanxian, “Before you went to the Northwest Guard, you mentioned that you wanted a jinshi to serve as your attendant and teach you knowledge, but he is the one?”

Zhu Nanxian said, but it was not.

But when the words came to his mouth, he hesitated again, as if someone had suddenly broken his mind, and the thief said with a guilty conscience: “Da, maybe so.”

Zhu Minda snorted coldly when he saw his unpromising appearance, and asked Yan Ziyan again. : “I asked you to go to Governor Su to write the original of the policy theory, can you find it?”

Yan Ziyan knew that the policy theory was originally on Liu Chaoming, but said: “Return to Your Highness, I haven’t.”

Zhu Minda thought for a while, He asked Liu Chaoming again: “I heard that Governor Su was brought to Zhan Shifu by Lord Censor?”

Liu Chaoming said yes.

Zhu Minda said: “What did the Supreme Court find out, did the Censor bring him here to ask him the crime?”

Liu Chaoming was silent for a while, and said, “It is true that Governor Su helped His Highness the Seventeenth Highness to write policies on behalf of him. I just came to ask, but unfortunately there is no evidence.”

After Zhu Minda heard this, he gave Su Jin a thoughtful look, and said: “This matter has been questioned by the imperial censor, and this palace is 10,000 people at ease. Let’s just leave this matter to the prefectural court, Mr. Liu. If you find out, how should you punish it, you don’t have to come back to this palace.”

Instead of dealing with an eighth-rank petty official, it is better to sell the court’s affection.

Zhu Minda is a smart person, and just when Liu Chaoming said “Unfortunately there is no evidence”, he guessed that Liu Yushi was determined to protect Governor Su.

It is also strange, Liu Yun has been admitted to the Metropolitan Court since the age of nineteen. After six years, he has been holding an almost indifferent and fair attitude, and he has never seen him open to anyone.

But it’s okay, right now he and the old seven are like fire and water. The two younger brothers are simple-minded waste materials. If they can win the favor of the Metropolitan Court by this, it goes without saying that they support, even if it is a little bit biased, it will be a big deal in the situation. beneficial.

Thinking of this, Zhu Minda immediately bowed to Liu Chaoming again, and said, “Lord Kuai Liu.” He ignored the two His Royal Highnesses who were still kneeling on the ground, and turned to leave.

When all the officials and guards withdrew with His Royal Highness, Zhu Nanxian patted his knee before going to help Su Jin. Liu Chaoming said coldly, “Governor Su, get up.”

Zhu Nanxian said in a cold voice. His hands froze in the air, then, he moved a foot to the right and picked up Yan Ziyan.

Zhu Shiqi got up from the ground and sat on the chair beside him, still crying, Zhu Nanxian looked at him with disgust, turned to ask Liu Chaoming: “Master Liu, then this is a ghost writer. One thing— ”

Liu Chaoming silently took out a secret letter from his arms, placed it on the lampstand where he had just started his career, and burned it.
