Knowing that Pei Jin said that "something happens" will not be a trivial matter, Pei Xi also put away the arrogant attitude of stabbing anyone when he sees him, and after a little thought, his face 'revealed' a little interest: "Mu Miao is not a simple horn 'color', snatching the birthday gift presented to the saint from his hand...... Interesting, interesting! ”

For Pei Xi, guessing what happened to Jiangnan couldn't be simpler.

The imperial court has not relaxed its control and purge of Jiangnan, and the Jiangnan family has been 'forced' step by step, and it is already a little breathless, otherwise it would not have shown its sword to the imperial court. When the rebellion in Jiangnan was suppressed, the Jiangnan family had already suffered a lot of vitality, and the new Yangzhou governor Mu Miao was a ruthless horn who had both wrists and saints.

To tell the truth, the officials of the feudal territory, in terms of skills, will not be lacking, but the saints are not necessarily. The saints in the Taiping period are even more important, if they are trusted by the saints, they can act vigorously and cheaply when they are critical, and the saints will not blame them, at most they will beat two sentences. is not close to the saint, and when it comes to important things, it is inevitable that he will be a little constrained. Like Mu Miao, who spent thirty percent of his time in the palace, the sage looked at him and looked at his nephew, and rewarded him all the way, and the Mu family was punished, and he didn't fall but rose up, and he was definitely not easy to mess with. In such a situation, apart from those congratulatory gifts that should have traveled thousands of miles to Chang'an and were of great significance, what else could happen to Jiangnan? If you want to pit Mu Miao, you can only play 'tricks' in these things, who let Mu Miao sit on one side, and can't watch the goods go to Beijing in person?

Pei Jin looked at Pei Xi, who was in high spirits, and couldn't help sighing in his heart.

In terms of intelligence, his children and grandchildren are not as good as Pei Xi alone, just like this incident, calling others in, I am afraid that I have to wait until he has almost said this matter, and then he can only answer the word, how can he be blamed for being partial?

"What was stolen this time was not only the birthday gift that Mu Miao prepared to present to the saint, but also the hearts of many families in Jiangnan." Pei Jin was silent for a moment and sighed, "The mountain rain 'wants' to come!" ”

Pei Xi sneered, and said nonchalantly: "What's so difficult about this, in the past, there were only a few great princes who stood north of the Yangtze River and had the power to compete with Taizu for the world, starting from this line, it's right!" ”

Both the ancestors and grandchildren know very well that the matter is in Jiangnan, and the mastermind behind the scenes must not be the local forces in Jiangnan - the congratulatory gift of intercepting the saint's 70th birthday, this is not only to 'smoking' the saint's face, but also to step on the prestige of Daxia to death, and the court must definitely fight with it. The family in Jiangnan has been purged and suppressed by rounds, although the ambition has not been extinguished, and the courage is less than thirty percent of the past, how dare you act like this? Who knows if the saint will send troops to Jiangnan again in a fit of anger? It is conceivable that this matter must have been done by someone who has a deep hatred with the imperial court, one is to lose the face of the Great Xia royal family, the second is to provoke disputes, and the third is to covet these expensive treasures.

Along with Mu Miao's congratulatory gifts, there were also congratulatory gifts from many families in the south of the Yangtze River, representing their sincere devotion to the Great Xia royal family, and Mu Miao must have attached great importance to it and sent his henchmen to escort it. How much manpower and material resources do you need to make so many good things disappear silently? The hatred of the father and ancestor will not make many people gamble on their 'life', especially those who have already become officials in Great Xia, if it is from the dragon's work, it is another matter.

Thinking of this, Pei Jin also frowned: "It's easy to be peaceful for so many years, and the descendants of the defeated generals want to make 'chaos' again, it's really wishful thinking." ”

"There are so many daydreamers, who can stop them?" Pei Xi said lazily, "How long has Wang Mang's new dynasty lasted?" Isn't the world given by Liu Xiu? If it weren't for the confusion he made in the matter of 'Yin' and Guo, which affected Lichu, Xu Ran would not have been able to change the dynasty even if he had the ability to reach the sky. Loyalty and hatred are not enough to last for decades, and even if they do, what good is it for the old man to be loyal and the younger generation to be ambitious and unwilling to hide in Tibet? Only a common interest, and a good name, can bring them together to do such great things. ”

Speaking of this, he 'touched' his chin and was a little curious: "If I'm not mistaken, none of the princes who fought with Xia Taizu seem to have the surname Xu!" However, there are so many clansmen in the Yan Dynasty, and no one cares how many grandsons he is the grandson of Emperor XX, let alone the princess of the last emperor, who has no courage to commit suicide, has become the plaything of the strong, in order to survive, it is understandable to give birth to each other's children and raise 'daughters', isn't it simple to find a disguise? ”

Seeing Pei Xi's interested appearance, Pei Jin was silent for a moment before saying: "You think it is beautiful, although the birthday gift of Mu Miao and the Jiangnan family is priceless and precious, it is not easy to get rid of it......"

"You don't need to tempt me." Pei Xi mercilessly interrupted his grandfather's tentative words, and said coldly, "Turkic, Tibetan, Rouran, Goguryeo, and those countries in the Western Regions, which one doesn't like rare treasures?" The trade routes of Great Xia are so developed, these good things can't be sold in Great Xia, and they are put in farther countries, and some people come to buy them with mountains of gold and silver, if they don't want money, just to borrow soldiers ......" Speaking of this, he snorted coldly and said categorically, "Those alien races are like tigers, leopards and jackals, coveting the fertile soil of the Central Plains, as long as they find an opportunity, they have a treasure as a 'temptation'." They will definitely pounce quickly and bite Daxia hard! ”

Thinking of Qin Wan's secret letter to him, Pei Xi raised his eyebrows, but he didn't tell his grandfather the last thought in his heart.

The position of the Ninety-Five Supreme, who is not tempted? If it weren't for the fact that this would hurt the interests of the Great Xia royal family, those princes and grandsons who had broken their heads in order to grab the throne might also play the trick of "borrowing troops" from other races, in other words, if the sage chose not to be the king of Wei, Su Rui would continue to guard the south, with the heart of the king of Wei...... Then again, did the sage not feel at ease with the King of Wei and make slight adjustments on the basis of "adapting to the situation", or did he instinctively choose the best solution to the problem with his years of experience in power?

The theft of congratulatory gifts, no matter how you hide it, can't hide it, not to mention someone who deliberately spread it all over the world? Before the secret envoy sent by Mu Miao rushed to the capital for eight hundred miles, the matter spread widely.

Qin Wan hadn't thought of an excuse to go back to the palace, so he asked Shen Huai to come out to talk, but Shen Man, the acting princess who had been in poor health and needed to recuperate, left the palace for the first time and came to the Su family to visit the 'daughter'.

Although Shen Man's temperament is much better than in previous years, he is not very healthy in the end, although Qin Wan can't figure out his mother's intentions, he can't help but feel ashamed when he sees this: "It's all 'women' and 'sex', and the labor aunt runs like this." ”

"Mother-in-law's 'daughter', how can there be anything that is not tired? I'll tell you something, you need to hold on. Shen Man stroked the sideburns of the 'girl' and said softly, "Have you heard about the theft of the birthday gift?" This matter cannot be hidden, it cannot be hidden, the court must send someone to investigate, and the kings will not let go of this opportunity. "Once the truth is discovered, the person who solved the case is destined to be famous all over the world, and he will also increase his 'color' with the saint.

Shen Man didn't know that the 'daughter' was bent on putting the acting king on the throne, and although the Su family was not very worry-free, Qin Wan was very close to the Wei Palace, and he would be safe in the future.

Even if it is for the sake of the 'daughter', the husband and 'wife' of the acting king also support the king of Wei, although Shen Huai also has the heart to serve the king of Wei, in the end, he is a serious relative of the acting king, and it is not good to pick sesame seeds and lose watermelon. He was in a good position with his sense of proportion and style, and he was faint with King Wei, and he didn't even nod his head to 'friendship'.

Rao is like this, as soon as he heard about this case, Shen Huai was busy, but for a few days, it was not good news.

"Although King Wei is in charge of the Criminal Department, what can I do—" Shen Man shook his head and said with a wry smile, "Although there are many cases handled by the Criminal Department, most of them are reviewed, and there are few people who dare to take this responsibility. If he didn't have a cousin of Lu Wangmei, it would be a good thing. ”

Qin Wan listened to Shen Man's description, and his face did not 'show' half a clue, but he couldn't stop sneering in his heart.

The criminal department is not as good as Dali Temple? Who to fool! Dali Temple is only responsible for hearing cases of imprisonment or above for hundreds of officials of the central government and Beijing masters, and the cases of exiles must be sent to the Criminal Department for review, and the death penalty must be approved by the sage. However, the Criminal Department is responsible for reviewing local cases and receiving appeals from detainees. If you really want to find an expert in solving cases, can Dali Temple have more than the Criminal Department? The former is concerned about the intricate network of relationships, but the latter does not need to compromise everything, after all, there are many local officials who have a poor 'family', and it is not impossible to judge cases for their own 'selfishness', 'desires', and 'disorders'. The official position of Great Xia is expensive, and how many people beg their father to sue for 'milk' and 'milk', just to find a shortage. Seeing a corrupt official being beheaded, the people shouted happily, and these people who waited for officials to do it also had a 'door' to drill!

If such an incident happened when Chang Qing had never taken refuge in Qin Wan, Qin Wan might still have a little belief that since Chang Qing took refuge in Qin Wan and let Qin Wan understand what kind of person King Wei was, how could she not know what happened? Wei Wangyi's 'door' mind was to absorb the dead in the prison of the Criminal Department, and the more unjust, false and wrongful cases, the happier he was. Because after these wished people were rescued by him, they were all grateful to Dade and devoted themselves wholeheartedly.

King Wei deliberately favoritism and fraud, how can he tolerate talents who judge cases like gods? It's good now, lifting a stone to shoot himself in the foot, when it comes to solving the case, at least nine out of ten people look at King Wei, who let him stay in the Criminal Department for so long?

Qin Wan had a headache in his heart, but his face showed a little worry: "King Lu recommended Gao Han to the sage? In this way, wouldn't it be difficult for Uncle Wei to do? ”

Shen Man couldn't help nodding, hating it: "But isn't it?" I don't know Su - I don't know what Su Yu is thinking, but I took the initiative to ask Ying to solve the case with Gao Han! It is a good thing for young people to make contributions to their careers, but they have to recognize how many catties and taels they have! Wouldn't it add to the 'chaos' that others avoided and feared? ”
