60. Confrontation in court

By the time the bandage was finally done, it was already dark.

Liang Cheng wrote a letter and asked Yinian to ask someone to take it to Cheng Shun, the housekeeper in the private house in Koi Lane, and told him to pay more attention.

There are many nobles living in Koi Lane, and under the nose of the Son of Heaven, it stands to reason that the other party does not dare to make too much noise, but just in case, Liang Cheng still asked Cheng Shun to send more guards to guard.

In fact, he wanted to say that a little injury was not in the way, but looking at Liang Cheng's insistent eyes, he had to give up, what a pity......

For some, tonight is destined to be a sleepless night.

Yin Yao Zhengkun, the governor of Jingzhao Mansion, received such a tricky case, and only felt that his official career had ended here, and even if he was not careful, his life would be lost.

Just as he was pacing back and forth, not knowing what to do, the porter came to report, saying that in addition to the internal thieves in the Anguo Mansion, he had stolen the treasury, which also included the mold of the Jiang family's family crest and the red stone stone.

This red lazuli is not a natural ore, but the Jiang family poured special materials into the copper, which was specially used to carve the family crest.

The person who stole the mold was a servant who took care of the warehouse, named Lai Man, Yao Zhengkun was shocked, and as soon as the voice of "Fifty Boards" fell, Lai Man threw himself to the ground and howled: "The adults spare their lives, the small ones know their mistakes, and the small ones confess." ”

"Say, why did you steal the mold and red lazuli of the Jiang family's family crest?"

Yao Zhengkun's tone was majestic, but the corner of his eyes couldn't help but glance at Jiang Zeyu, the third son of An Guogong who was sitting in the hall, and glanced at the subordinates sent by the national teacher, and the calculation in his heart was afraid that the fight would crackle.

Yao Zhengkun finally went through countless relationships a few years ago, and then became an official in Beijing, although this Jingzhao Mansion Mansion Yin is a thankless official position, but it is much better than being a local official with poor mountains and bad waters, at least there is enough oil and water, these children of high-ranking officials and nobles, it is indispensable to cause trouble, you have to rely on him to be such an eye-catching Mansion Yin, in order to return home with all the tail and continue to do evil, the nobles also love him to know the times, leaking a drop or two of oil and water from between his fingers, which is enough for him to open for a year.

Therefore, this Jingzhao Mansion Yin, although he has no real power in Beijing, he can't manage anywhere, but he is moisturizing enough.

It's just that if this is a battle for succession, it is really ten lives that are not enough for him to play, and at the moment it is better for him to "handle it impartially", and properly interrogate the prisoners under the court, and what the result of the trial will be, as for which force wants to make a fuss about this and participate in front of His Majesty, this is not something he can manage, and then the uncle of his own criminal department will come to pick up this hot potato.

After thinking of a way out, Yao Zhengkun couldn't help but proudly brushed a few beards under his chin.

Lai Man poured beans under the hall and howled: "The small one has a habit of gambling two handfuls on weekdays, and he poured a few more bowls of Huangtang that day, but he lost all his net worth, and he also owed a lot of debts. ”

"Bold and evil servants, stealing the master's finances, the crime should be a thorn in the face and distributed to Minzhou." Yao Zhengkun turned to Jiang Zeyu, who was drinking tea slowly, and licked and laughed: "I don't know what Jiang Sangongzi thinks?" ”

Jiang Zeyu elegantly and calmly put down the teacup in his hand, lifted his eyelids, and said lazily: "Since the guilty servant has confessed his guilt, then it will be dealt with according to the law of Daqi, but it seems that there are other people in this mother's mother, Yao Fuyin still has to check it carefully, otherwise how can he explain it to the national teacher, and it is good to return my Jiang family's innocence." ”

"Nature is natural, this is nature." Yao Zhengkun nodded again and again, then looked at Lai Man, and asked sharply, "Do you know who that person is?" ”

"The little one doesn't know anything, and no one even knows his name."

"This ......" Yao Zhengkun looked at Ganzhou, who had not spoken, as if embarrassed, and said, "It seems that the person behind this curtain is quite hidden. ”

Ganzhou bent down and saluted: "My lord, the national teacher was stabbed and injured, and he is recuperating in the suburbs of Beijing at this time, so it is inconvenient to go to court with the prisoner, but as a result, the grass people dare not go back to report, please let the grass people ask." ”

"Okay, good, the National Teacher sent someone over, and I think I trust it."

Ganzhou pouted in his heart and turned to look at Lai Man: "Which house are you gambling in, and what day did you lose the money?" ”

Lai Man met Ganzhou's clear eyes, his whole body trembled, he looked away, licked his lips, and said: "The small, the small one was gambled four days ago, in the Yunlai Workshop in Bajing Lane in Xicheng." ”

Ganzhou: "When and where did that person do business with you, and what does he look like?" ”

Lai Man: "I just got out of the gambling house, the man found me, it was already night, I can't see clearly, I just remember that it was a man in his thirties, wearing black, oh, by the way, the shoes are embroidered with pine crane Lingyun pattern, it is silver wire, the little one thought at the time, just these shoes, enough to pay off my debts......"

"After you promised him, when did you steal the finances?"

"On the second night, I started ......"

After Ganzhou asked this, he turned to Jiang Sangongzi and said, "The villain has something unclear, I don't know if Jiang Sangongzi is willing to solve his doubts?" ”

Jiang Zeyu raised his eyebrows with some surprise, and said magnanimously: "If you have any questions, just ask." ”

"Jiang Sangongzi is enlightened," Ganzhou praised lightly, looked at Jiang Zeyu with a clear gaze, and said: "The family emblem of the family is very big, this criminal servant said that he started stealing three days ago, why did your mansion not come to sue the official until today?" ”

After speaking, Ganzhou stared at Jiang Zeyu tightly, not leaving the slightest change in the other party's expression, but the Jiang family seemed to be really innocent and affected, Jiang Zeyu's expression and movements were not inappropriate, he first showed a trace of displeasure, and then pressed back, putting on a mocking ridicule, which was the expression of a noble child after being offended.

"What, should the National Teacher suspect that it was my Anguo Mansion's hand?"

"Don't dare," Ganzhou was not captured by the other party's momentum, and said with a straight gaze: "It is precisely because I believe in the heritage of the Jiang family that I asked it bluntly, so as not to have a misunderstanding in the future, and let those villains take advantage of the loopholes." ”

Jiang Zeyu snorted coldly, put the tea cup in his hand on the case, and said: "What a good pair of sharp teeth, no wonder the national teacher only sent you a small minion over, but don't think that your master has some skills, just think that a dog can also bark at the nobleman." ”

Ganzhou is young in the end, although he has some experience, but he can't reach the heat of not showing joy and anger, and his face is blue when he hears it.

Jiang Zeyu saw that he was humiliated, so he said idly: "That's it, why should this son bother with a cheap slave, tell the masters, this mansion has gone up to the mountain to worship the Buddha in the past few days, and this is the way of the family thief, if the national teacher doesn't believe it, then go to His Majesty." ”

Ganzhou reluctantly smiled: "Jiang Sangongzi said that he was joking." ”

In the end, Lai Man was taken into prison, and three days later he was stabbed with Minzhou, the people of Minzhou are fierce, perennial poisonous miasma, ordinary people are there, how can there be any possibility of survival, Lai Man only regrets that he is really a ghost, and now it is too late to regret it.

But he's just an insignificant pawn in this treacherous puzzle.
