The commander sat on the upper seat with a blank face, his eyes fixed on an investigation document that had been reported by his subordinates not long ago, and was silent. Pen @ fun @ pavilion wWw. ｂｉｑUｇE。 ｉｎｆｏ

Huang Jincheng glanced at the conductor who was sitting diagonally opposite, the other party was looking at his nose and nose and holding a bowl of tea, as if he had suddenly developed a strong interest in the delicate blue and white tea bowl, and he had no leisure to care about other things around him, let alone express any opinions.

Huang Jincheng knew that this boss was notoriously slippery, and he had never been nosy, and it was a hundred times more difficult to get him to say something useful than to keep him from talking. Huang Jincheng's heart was stunned, and he spoke as originally planned: "Lord Commander, if the people below find out that it is true, those people are really from the Tu family, then they are definitely not coming for adults." The so-called assassination of the son before may have been just a misunderstanding. ”

The Commander glanced at him, but still did not speak.

Huang Jincheng sneered in his heart, and his face was still sincere: "Dissatisfied with my lordship, because Xia Guan is related to the Chengenhou Mansion, he also has some dealings with Yongjiahou on weekdays, and I have heard some things from him." I heard that there is now a little prince in the clan in his house to borrow, because the father of the little prince has some dislike for the Shu Wangfu, the grandson of the Tu family, who is now in Shangyuan County, wants to curry favor with the Shu Wangfu, so he tried to secretly poison the little son, but he hit the iron plate, and was taught a little miserable, and I heard that he is still sick in bed. The Tu family probably couldn't swallow this breath, so they sent someone to Jinling to vent their anger to their grandson. ”

This kind of talk can only be used to coax people. Everyone knows who the acting county commander of Shangyuan County is, because of the teacher-student relationship between Li Yanchao and the Jinling prefect, he was once very active in Jinling City, and he didn't regard himself as a substitute, but regarded himself as a regular position. Later, their teachers and students turned against each other, and some gossip came out. In any case, it is a fact that the new county commander will take office after the year, and Li Yanchao is destined to lose power in Jinling City.

How much weight can such a figure be if he is said to be the grandson of the Tu family, but in fact he is just a child of a daughter who marries a daughter from a side branch? The wife of the head of the Tu family will go all the way to Jinling in order to vent his anger? What's more, if the target of the Tu family's steward is Zhao Mo, the grandson of the Liao king, who had taught Li Yanchao a lesson, what is he going to do in Neiqiao? The grandson of the Liao family lives in the house of Yongjiahou. A half-grown child, he has never been to Fengyue Field by the Qinhuai River.

Commander Tongzhi glanced up at Huang Jincheng, and wanted to spit out a few words, but after thinking about it, he still closed his mouth. The Tu family is not an ordinary family, so it's better not to cause trouble.

The commander's face was gloomy: "Huang Yan must have misunderstood, that little thing, the Tu family would not be so laborious." They wandered around the Pearl City for a few days, and it seems that they are looking for something, and they must have another purpose!"

Huang Jincheng smiled stupidly and sweetly: "The commander makes the lord reasonable." However, even if they had other purposes, it was unlikely that the Tu family would have the idea of assassinating Gongzi. Not to mention that the adults have no grudges with the Tu family, even if there is really one, they only need to enter the palace to complain to the Queen Mother, where is the need to send people to Jinling? This must have been a misunderstanding!"

The commander was silent.

Huang Jincheng smiled and turned to the commander Tongzhi and discussed another topic: "What is the Tu family going to do when they send a steward to Jinling? Could it be that they are also here to buy goods? It's just that they come during the Chinese New Year, and they are too inconsiderate of their subordinates. How many people did the steward bring? I heard from the officers and men below that they were not ordinary people, and they seemed to be quite extraordinary. The steward of the Tu family went south to do errands, and what else did they have to take with so many guards? They naturally took the official road all the way, and they also stayed overnight at the post station, and they didn't bring any treasures, but also brought so many guards with them. However, those guards are too unruly, and the Tu family can't afford to have a good student who has taught them, and when others talk to them, they always love to ignore them. If it weren't for the support of the Tu family, I am afraid that I would have offended many people long ago. ”

The commander smiled and responded to his words in a rare way: "Who knows? The Tu family has arranged it like this, there is always their reason, how will we, outsiders, know?"

He didn't cooperate, and Huang Jincheng didn't care, smiled, and turned his head to look at the commander.

The commander said lightly: "Okay, let's stop this matter." First go and ask face to face, whether those people are the Tu family stewards, and if so, what are they doing in Jinling. Not to mention that they acted sneakily in Zhu City, just the Tu family steward deceived the officers and soldiers with a false identity, which was a violation of the imperial court decrees. The exact reason why they came will be found out. Otherwise, if they only borrowed the name of the Tu family, but impersonated them and came to Jinling to do evil, once something happened, wouldn't they let the Tu family suffer grievances? As the commander of the Jinling Guard, this official controls the locality and is responsible for the safety of the people under his jurisdiction, and he cannot easily let go of any suspicious person!"

Huang Jincheng and the commander hurriedly smiled, solemnly echoed a few words, and by the way, flattered the commander to be loyal to the imperial court and fulfill his duties - it was also an officialdom cliché.

When Huang Jincheng returned to his place, there was still a casual smile on the corner of his mouth. Don't look at him just talking a few words in front of the commander, in fact, everything is provoking the suspicion of the commander.

This Jinling Wei chief officer seems to be a serious and powerful high-ranking military attache on the surface, but in fact, he is not innocent at all. He has been operating in Jinling for a long time, and he does not know how much shady wealth he has in his hands. Although he is not from an ordinary small family, and his family has some family background, he is far from being compared with a wealthy family. When he first came to Jinling to take office, he was also privately ridiculed by the local official wives in Jinling because of the simple dress of his family. But now, his wife wears gold and silver, and she is generous, and his only son can spend thousands of taels of silver in half a day without blinking an eyelid. Who would believe him if he was a conformist?

Not long after Huang Jincheng took office, he noticed Jin Lingwei's cattiness, and he knew that many middle and low-level military attachés under him were quite dissatisfied with the commanders, but they were just no match for them. Huang Jincheng felt that there was an article to be written here, which might be of great benefit to his career and help him take a step forward, but he was busy worrying about the safety of the prince at that time, and he didn't bother with anything else at all, so he opened one eye and closed one eye.

On that day, Qin Bai and Zhao Mo discussed with him, and when they brought the people from the Shu Wangfu into Neiqiaozhu City, which official should be provoked to contradict them, Huang Jincheng inadvertently mentioned the commander and said some rumors about him. Coincidentally, there was a gossip in the guard station that the commander had colluded with several big salt merchants to participate in the sale of illegal salt, and from time to time sent officers and soldiers to open the way for the illegal salt ships. There are also rumors that there was once a son of an official family from the capital who accidentally ran into the collusion between officers and soldiers and smugglers of salt, and was ordered to kill his subordinates. Before he died, the son seemed to have mentioned that his family background had a great background, but he died before he could explain it clearly. The command made the ferocity of a group of people visible.

As soon as Qin Bai heard these rumors, he immediately proposed to take the commander to open the knife. Only need to say a few words of guidance at the right time to arouse the suspicion of the commander: Could the son of the official family who was killed be related to the Tu family?

It's a pity that I can't inquire about this kind of thing publicly. The commander wanted to find out if he had formed a mortal enmity with the Tu family when he didn't know it, and whether the Tu family's steward was coming at him, so he first sent someone to the capital to inquire about the Tu family or the Tu family's in-laws' family if any new children had recently died. By the time he got the exact news, it was a long time later. The prince arrived in the capital safely, and Qin Bai, Huang Jincheng and others didn't have to slip away anymore.

Huang Jincheng was very satisfied with the results of his work, but in private he continued to collect incriminating evidence from the commander. At present, he is using the other party, the head snake, to rectify the Tu family and the people from the Shu Wangfu first. When the matter is over, he will sue again, and he will command this tumor to be dug up by the roots, and the atmosphere of Jinlingwei will definitely be cleared, and his future career will be brighter.

Huang Jincheng did come to Jinling for the prince, but now that the prince has left safely, he should also think about his future.

Under the guidance of Huang Jincheng, intentionally or unintentionally, the commander sent someone to contact Zhen Li and ask him about his true identity. Zhen Li naturally couldn't say the name of the Tu family, and he still insisted that he was the steward sent by the official eunuch family in Beijing to buy goods. In order to win the trust of others, he also deliberately spent money and really bought some clothes, tea and other things to pretend. It's a pity that he just wanted to make up the numbers, and he didn't pick carefully, and the ones he bought were all bargains, not at all for the Tu family's branch. Seeing this, the commander became even more suspicious.

He directly ordered him and his men to be arrested on the grounds that Zhen Li was impersonating his identity. Zhen Li was stunned on the spot, he didn't understand where he showed his stuffing, but most of the dead soldiers under him had experienced similar scenes, and they had no concept of acting in their minds at all, so they directly drew their swords and resisted, got into a fight with the officers and soldiers, and finally escaped two.

Zhen Lili and his gang were immediately regarded as gangsters and arrested in the official prison, and the two who escaped were also wanted. The prefect of Jinling was supposed to interrogate them, but before they were promoted, the governor yamen took the people away and wanted to interrogate them secretly behind closed doors. All the luggage they brought to Jiangnan was also checked over and over again by the officials of the governor's yamen, and Zhen Lili's identity as the Tu family steward was still confirmed in the end.

Since he is really the manager of the Tu family, why did he pretend to be the name of another family? Why did his subordinates fight with officers and soldiers with knives? There are so many doubts that there is no way to clear their name. Zhen Li lamented that he had a bad year, but he didn't dare to say a word, and the same was true for the dead soldiers who were also arrested and imprisoned by him. The governor's yamen was in a hurry, and one of them simply bit his tongue, and the matter suddenly became more complicated.

If the Tu family didn't have an important secret that could not be told to others, would they rather commit suicide than tell the truth?

When the commander of Jin Lingwei got the news, he also began to feel that if the Tu family came to seek revenge, there was no need to do this step at all, and his heart suddenly breathed a sigh of relief.

The governor's yamen immediately went to the capital to report the book and sued the Tu family. Jin Lingwei and the prefect's yamen seconded the proposal. Before the book was delivered to the capital, the news had already spread. There were rumors up and down in Beijing, and everyone's eyes looking at the Tu family became strange.
