Chapter 153: Lu Yu

The Ministry of Criminal Affairs, Cai Quan, has been very busy lately, because after the suspension of the Department of Mirrors has survived, several unfinished cases have been handed over. The Department of Criminal Affairs has always been completely different from the Department of Mirrors in investigating and filing procedures. After listening to the sky, the emperor Liang sent it down to investigate, and received it, all of them were red charcoal balls.
However, Cai Quan is a born strongman. Xia Jiang escaped from the prison and made him breathe a sigh of relief. The things that are now assigned to his hands, even if it is difficult to bite, he must bite it down.
Fortunately, he has the support of King Jing, and there are quite a few very useful people. He often goes to Su Zhai to talk with Qilin talents, and he can often get helpful suggestions. Therefore, after a hard month, it has been very fruitful.
Unexpectedly, I never thought that Ye Shizhen, the new chief of the Dali Temple, was such a quirky and critical person. The file was removed for re-examination and supervision, and he picked out several loopholes at once. The term "fuzzy words" can be regarded as nothing but finding trouble. The other loopholes are really real. Since then, Cai Quan, who has never been frustrated since he took office, has been disgraced for a while. In a state of disgrace and courage, I vow to fight back.
According to Shen Chi, the scene was, "It's going crazy ..."
Mad monsters naturally have the effect of crazy monsters.
As soon as the young criminal department Shang Shu was relieved, the forbidden army commander Meng Zhi carried two arresting heads to the door.
It turned out that the two men were not afraid of Dali Siqing's troubles with the Criminal Department. On this day, he took the opportunity to catch a prisoner.
She deliberately ran into Ye Shizhen's sedan chair and happened to be met by him.
Stopped in advance, there was no disturbance, and quietly dragged to the department of the criminal department to be handed over to Cai Quan to deal with, and suddenly the Shang Shu was so angry that he could not speak.
After summoning the entire company and stating severely that no personal complaints should be held against Dali Temple, Cai Quan also thanked Meng Zhi for calming down the situation.
The two had no personal contacts before.
Because I talked about this for a while, and found each other to be in agreement.
It happened that the two houses were not far apart. Cai Quan spent most of the month staying at the Yamen and had not seen his wife and children. He said that he decided to go back to the house with the carriage of the Penal Department.
On the way, they found a new topic and talked about Mr. Su, who is now only a guest, as he was talking about happiness. He glanced out of the screen window unintentionally, and suddenly burst out laughing.
Cai Quan looked down at him and couldn't help but smile.
I saw the lively street outside.
Hushu Shangshu Shen Chai dressed in civilian clothes, holding a watermelon like his belly in his arms, walking around the stalls.
Stopped from time to time to talk to the stall owner.
"Shen Shangshu has always been concerned about the price of people's lives and is indeed a good official.
But what is he doing with a watermelon? Meng Zhi said with a smile.
"Maybe it was just bought?" Cai Quan also shook his head and smiled.
The driver was ordered to stop, and the two were about to get off to say hello.
The accident happened suddenly.
In front of a wagon full of wood, the ropes broke unexpectedly, and the thick logs at the mouth of the car all rolled down at once, hitting in the direction of Shen chasing.
Everyone else screamed and dodged, but Shen Chai ’s body was slow to move. Obstinately flew over and it was also far from the water to save the fire. Seeing that it would be impossible to escape, a light figure flashed over, and the fat family was still book. Suddenly sacked like a sack and placed under the eaves of the side.
"Fei Liu!" Meng Zhi was suddenly delighted, "Fortunately, you passed by!"
Cai Quan has also rushed over at this time to support his friend.
Shen Zhui was frightened, and quickly went to thank Fei Liu, but Juvenile Binghan, with a handsome face, just "huh".
Since they often went to Su Zhai recently, Cai Shen and the two knew about the condition of Fei Liu and didn't take it seriously. They looked around. Although many stalls were damaged and the scene was messed up, fortunately no one was injured.
The owner of the carriage was already sweating and his face was pale, and he was surrounded by the stalls of the claimant for a while.
"Feiliu, where are you going?" It was sincerely seen that everyone was just arguing about the amount of compensation. There was no big conflict, so they didn't manage it and turned to smile and asked the teenager.
Fei Liu snorted, turned his face to not look at him, and the Forbidden Army commander had to smile bitterly.
Ever since he proposed to confess to King Jing that angry with Xiaoshu that day, defending Brother Su Feifei regarded him as a bad guy and refused to ignore him anymore.
But it ’s really strange to think about it. No matter how wrong a suggestion he made before, Xiaoshu always patiently explained to him why it was not possible, but that day he did n’t say anything. Emotional.
So when I think about it, even if I think it is rough and sincere, I feel a little uneasy.
"Brother Shen, are you injured?" Cai Quan suddenly asked.
"No ..."
"That red land ..." Cai Quan reached out and touched it. "Oh, Xifei Liu looked over his head and took a piece of broken silver from his arms to stuff Shen Chai, but it made Hushang Hushu full of fog. Water: "What are you doing here?"
"Loose you!"
The three of the people at the scene all tightened their faces in an instant, desperately trying to stretch back the laughter that was about to break out, and until they had stomachache, Shen Zhui gasped and put the silver back in the hands of the teenager: "Fei Liu Brother, you saved my life. If you kill a watermelon, you have to pay me back. What am I doing? "
"I beat it!" Feiliu said seriously, "I'll pay!" Okay, Master Shen, let it go, "said with a smile," The Feiliu tutor is so good, you don't want him to be angry. "
Shen Chai looked at the broken silver stuffed again, crying and laughing, and was about to speak, suddenly a light voice came from the side.
"Little Beauty, such jade hands can't touch spicy things, come and come, I will help you pick ..."
The three turned around and saw a vegetable stall beside the street that was hit by a rolling wood.
A 28-year-old girl is picking up the garlic.
Because she was accosted by a strange man, she blushed suddenly, although it was Xiaojia Biyu.
A closer look is indeed stunning.
"What a beauty ..." The frivolous prodigal squatted beside her, seeing that the dress should come from the wealthy.
His appearance is actually very handsome, but his appearance of drooling at any time really reduces his image, not to mention what he said next is too much, "Little lady, may I ask your name.
Did you promise others? "
The girl was ashamed of Yuyan and wanted to avoid it. She just turned around, but was stopped by the again. "Don't hurry and go, I won't be a darling, let's talk a little bit."
Cai Quan couldn't stand it anymore and snorted sneeredly: "In the blue sky, this young man converges a little bit."
The peach blossomed.
He turned to look at this side, and said in his mouth: "What to converge? I talk to the little beauty, are you jealous?" I just said this.
He saw Fei Liu all of a sudden, his eyes lit up suddenly.
"Wow.
This little brother is also pretty.
It looks very strong, come.
Let me pinch ... "
Meng Zhi waited for the three people to watch the swinger's color fan come together and reached out to feel Fei Liu's face. He could not help but raised his eyebrows together, knowing that he could immediately see the wonderful performance of the trapeze.
But the next scene made them almost fall into the eye, and saw Fei Liu's thin lips tightened tightly, and his body stood stiffly, so that the gently squeezed on his face. claw.
"Hehehe, Feiliu is so good, it seems to be a little fatter. I told Changsu that he would n’t feed you like that, and he would n’t look pretty when he was fat ..." The was talking, suddenly remembering What did he look back and sighed, "How about the little beauty? It's running really fast ... I haven't seen such a rough jade in a long time. It's a pity."
"Over there!" Fei Liu pointed in one direction.
"Ah, it's still our best Xiaofeiliu, then I'm going after the little beauty, you go and tell Chang Su, I can give him a gift, he must be happy.
See you in the evening. After talking, the fan swayed and pulled away and ran away.
"Which is this ... who is this?" Shen Chai stared at the rather chic back and asked stutteringly.
"It sounds like Mr. Su's friend ... he will also make such a friend?" Cai Quan raised his eyebrows in doubt.
But looking at the man thoughtfully and thoughtfully was not a quick step, and looked serious.
Feiliu was probably hit by the words "Goodbye at night", and stayed for a long time. Suddenly he flattened his mouth, and the flash of the figure disappeared. I wonder if he returned to Su Zhai or fled to other places.
When the two of them left, the three who stayed at the scene would certainly not continue to stand on the street like this.
Originally, he was all the way with Cai Quan, but he was interested in the he met and planned to look at it, so he suddenly remembered a date he had to go to and said he wanted to leave.
It happened that Shen Chai also hinted that Cai Quan had something to tell him, so everyone broke up and left alone, and Shen Cai and the two got on the carriage of the criminal department together.
"Have you heard?" The car curtain was lowered, Shen Chai said anxiously, "Ji Ri of Si Tianjian has been fortunetelling. The crowning ceremony of the crown prince is scheduled for June 16."
"Really?" Cai Quan suddenly exhilarated, "I have been busy these past few days, and I haven't heard any news.
In this way, King Jing will be the prince in more than half a month ... It seems that the game is promising! "Yeah, I just hope that there will be no more disturbances until then ..."
"How can I say that? I think everything is ready, what can happen?"
Shen Chae glanced at him, "Did you not find that His Royal Highness King Jing has been unhappy recently, as if he has something to worry about?"
"No ... I'm so dizzy all the time ... Why is your Highness not pleased?"
"I want to know to discuss it with you?" Shen Chai frowned two slightly thick eyebrows. "The government is smooth, the border is not dangerous, and the attitude of the emperor is also the sacred sun. I can't think of it. There are still others What's insufficient? "
Cai Quan looked up for a long time, but he couldn't think of it, saying: "Is it sick?"
"The day before yesterday, I heard that he sent a violent horse to the south of Yuyuan, where could he be sick ..."
"Then maybe it's about to become a prince, but I'm a little scared ..."
Shen Chai silently said for a while, "It's still not like ... but for no reason, and I don't know how to ask him.
I just hope that after the coronation, it might be better.
Now that the prince's registration has been decided, Yu Wang's death edict only fears that it will be issued in the next few days.
I heard that he wrote a letter of repentance and asked to die from death.
Your Majesty did not allow it. "
"Xingbing seeks rebellion, how could it be saved?" Cai Quan shook his head.
"Yu Wang should understand that in his own heart.
He took the risk and won, and he lost the world.
How can there be a third way? "
"Think of it like this, it would be better to lose the crown prince in his hand first," Shen Zhui said with emotion, "although you are in prison outside the world, not close to the imperial capital, in the end saved a family's life.
It is really difficult to conclude between this luck and misfortune. "
Cai Quan narrowed his eyes suddenly and slowly said, "You said ... Is your Lord's thoughts for the King Qi?"
Shen Chai was taken aback.
I forgot that the two of them were on the carriage, and looked instinctively from side to side: "How come you talk about this suddenly?"
"The same is against the case, because this pile remembers what is strange about that pile?" Cai Quan gave him a strange look.
"Why are you so nervous?"
"Don't you know ..." Shen Zhui called out, "The emperors almost bleed into a river in the Qi King case.
The minister of culture and martial arts pleaded for security.
Instead, things got worse and worse, and people killed batch after batch.
Several houses were served by Lin Guo. My mother entered the palace at that time and saw Rong Chong ’s temporary concubine, but she was wrapped up by a white silk when she died ... Since then, in these years, Who dares to mention King Qi easily? "
Shen Chai is the son of Qinghe County Master and is close to the clan. He is much more aware of the miserable conditions than Cai Quan, who was a local official at the time.
Cai Quan stunned for a long time, his expression suddenly turned dignified, and said aloud: "But the case of King Qi was investigated by Xia Jiang?"
Shen chased a little bit, immediately understood what he meant, and twisted her brows.
"The King Jing Jing always objected to the King Qi case. This attitude is well known. He was suppressed for ten years for this, and he could not even stay in the capital.
If the person in charge of investigating King Qi's case rebelled on his own, how could it be that His Highness had no idea? "Cai Quanzheng said in earnest," I think he has been very worried recently, mostly considering whether to propose to His Majesty to re-examine the Qi King case. "
"Don't do it!" Shen Chai's cold sweat came down. "The matter of registration has not been done yet. If you annoy your majesty, it will be in trouble."
Although the case of King Qi was Xia Jiang's chief inspector, the person who ultimately handled it was his majesty after all.
If there is no strong evidence and a retrial is required, His Majesty will only think that he is self-satisfied and has no reason to overturn the old.
You know, what is His Majesty most hated? The intention is to degrade Regal! If we want to re-examine the case of King Qi's rebellion, wouldn't we make it clear that His Majesty made a big mistake? Your Majesty will never tolerate it! "
"But ..." Cai Quan insisted, "It can be seen from Xia Jiang's rebellion, maybe the truth of the year ..."
"Why don't you understand?" Shen Chai said irritably. "What is the truth? Do you think no one questioned the truth 13 years ago? But it turned out to be out of Beijing, or the head fell to the ground, or ... to keep silent.
Perhaps for His Majesty, it did not matter whether King Qi really turned back at that time, but what was important was that he could turn back any time he wanted to turn back! "
For the first time, Cai Quan heard such an argument, and he felt numb all over for a while, watching Shen Zhui speechless for a long time.
"In short, Xia Jiang ’s rebellion alone presumes that it was an injustice case. This reason is not enough," Shen Zhui slowed his tone again, and his expression was a little helpless. "I think His Highness Jing Jing also thought of this layer, so he was so depressed Right ... "
Cai Quan stared at the roof of the car with a deep gaze, and said coldly: "If I were His Royal Highness King Jing, I would not be willing to rest."
"What are you talking about?" Shen Chai didn't understand too much and looked at him in surprise.
"What does it mean to rebel at any time? Just because of this, tens of thousands of people will have to land on the ground?" Cai Quan said in a rage. "The responsibility of the emperor is to nurture the people, the prestige of the emperor is to be kind De Yifan.
There is no backtracking but the suspicious person has the antipathy. The emperor's mind is so. I used to think that Jing Jing was not fair for Qi Wang, just because their two brothers were very affectionate. Today I heard you say that ...
"Okay," Shen Chai covered her friend's mouth, "When I said nothing.
But seeing how angry you are, I can better understand His Highness.
But you ca n’t hurry at this moment, wait for the future ... when that time comes, what ca n’t be done? Let's find an opportunity to persuade His Highness not to act recklessly. "
"To persuade you to persuade, I will not go."
"Okay, you should be your Gengchen. I am smooth and I will persuade myself." Although Shen Chai said with anger, it was still inappropriate to think about it. "It is not appropriate for me to go. I would rather ask Mr. Su to advise Persuade it.
He went hunting with His Royal Highness this time, and went through the rebellious crisis. Hearing the people in Jing's Mansion said that His Royal Highness is now respectful to him.
This population is so good, if he is willing to dissuade him, His Highness will surely listen. "
In fact, Cai Quan still knew that Shen Chai's point of view was more timely than him. He froze for a while, and finally "hmm".
Outside the carriage, it happened to pass the former Yuwang Mansion.
Looking through the screen, the once princely palace is now desolate.
The two Shangshu adults remembered the discussion just now, and they suddenly realized that Baiyun Canggou, who was in the world, could not help but looked at each other and gave a long sigh.
