Chapter Seventy-Seven: "The Judge of the Day" Zong Zhengzhen

The eldest princess's words were not unreasonable, but lest this trip be fruitless, and she would have to suffer from the idleness of the unreasonable sister-in-law in Kunshan when she turned around, Princess Xin was still a little hesitant, and at the same time regretted why she had to take the matter for a while. When he was hesitating, someone from outside came to report, and the fourth young master asked to see him.

Pei Junshao saluted the elders and said with a smile: "A few days ago, the descendants of Zongzheng's family came to report that the third girl's body was not very well because of the wind and cold. If she refuses to do so, her cousin may wish to ask her grandfather, Lord Somasa, for help. Zongzheng Lord Ding Wei used to be the deputy envoy of the criminal prosecution, and he has made great achievements in the name of the sentence, and he may be able to help. ”

The eldest princess hurriedly ordered someone to help Pei Junshao sit down, and said angrily to him: "Just these few words, what are you doing in person?" The people below are all eating for nothing? ”

Pei Junshao smiled and said: "Grandmother, don't be angry, it's just that my grandson heard that the two princesses were suffering, and I didn't feel very good." However, according to his grandson's opinion, the gangster will not be able to carry it for long, and he will definitely send a letter to put forward conditions. He said to Princess Xin, "If your cousin is not at ease, why don't you let your nephew accompany you?" ”

Where did Princess Xin dare to work on the life, roots, and son of the eldest princess, and hurriedly waved her hand and said, "No, no, my cousin can go by herself." With Lou Gongren by her side, the third girl will not give a little thin noodles if she wants to come. "Hey, she actually didn't plan to come forward in person, why did Pei Si wrap her in with a few words?

The eldest princess of Qinghe grabbed Princess Xin again and advised, "Don't be too demanding." It was a kind-hearted, compassionate child, and if she pushed, there must be a reason why she couldn't. If you have something to say, say it well! ”

This is obviously a love house and a black house. Princess Xin smiled and bent her knees to salute the eldest princess: "Auntie, don't worry, your nephew and daughter-in-law will never embarrass the third girl." "It's not that she lost her daughter, so why bother offending people in vain? Not to mention the Venerable Su Hui, the second room of the Zongzheng family in the capital is a good match?

When I arrived at Zongzheng's house, it was easy to open the door. After hearing about the porter's communication, Zong Zhengjin hurriedly took the old lady Ren out and welcomed Princess Xin and Lou Gongren into the Helu Tongchun Hall. Princess Xin explained her intentions in the future, and Zong Zhengjin looked embarrassed. Mrs. Ren also felt pity. This is a good opportunity to cling to the nobles, and it will not damage the reputation of the Zongzheng family.

Lou Gongren looked at his face, and asked gently: "Lord Zongzheng, but the third girl is not well?" "That girl has also suffered a sin these days!

Zong Zheng sighed twice. Nodding and said, "It's really unfortunate, just half an hour ago, the family invited the eldest apprentice of the old lady Gu of Xinglin Hall to show the girl Ke. That night, she went to the eldest princess's mansion to pray for blessings, and the next day she had a stuffy nose and dizziness and was uncomfortable. She didn't want us to worry, so she asked the girl to boil some ginger juice at will. I was supposed to see each other. I didn't think that I was heavy again yesterday, but I had a high fever and I didn't wake up after a day. ”

Lou Gongren and Princess Xin looked at each other, and they both had a plan in their hearts. This third girl of Zongzheng is indeed delicate and weak, and she has been kneeling in the eldest princess's mansion for so long, and she has missed the night to go back, so it is inevitable that she will catch a cold. Originally, it was going to be better, but I didn't want the two princesses to come and disturb it again in the middle of the night, which completely provoked the illness that was not well and aggravated the condition.

Let's talk about it. The three girls of the family fell ill one by one, all because of the eldest princess's mansion and the two princesses. Lou Gongren and Princess Xin had nothing to say, and in order to show their concern, they both sent the slaves and maids who had to be used in front of them to explore Zong Zhengke's illness with many gifts, and here they used Pei Jun Shaozhi's tricks.

Zong Zheng listened carefully, and after a moment of silence, he said angrily: "If the prince and the eldest princess do not dislike the incompetence of the lower officials, the lower officials are willing to do their best. However, Xia Guan is old and frail, can he bring two unsuccessful dogs to assist one or two? ”

finally had a result that could be explained, Princess Xin was very satisfied, and Lou Gongren was also relieved. The two of them sat for a while. When the slave who went to visit the sick came back, she said that the third girl was groggy and her little face was burned like coals, and she was really sick.

Since people don't pretend to be ghosts. Princess Xin and Lou Gongren couldn't say anything more. Pei Si's intentions, these two also understand. Since Zongzheng has come forward, Zongzheng Ke is a filial child, and he will definitely pray to the Buddha for blessings in this matter. Otherwise, if the prince and the eldest princess insist on angering others, Zong Zhengjin will not be able to escape punishment.

Zong Zhengjin and Mrs. Ren sent Princess Xin and Lou Gongren out of the house. Back at Helu Tongchun Hall, Mrs. Ren was worried: "Why do you want to force this head? I searched for two days, and if I could find it, I would have found it a long time ago. And bring your son! ”

Zong Zheng, who was changing into homely clothes, unbuttoned his hand, of course, he would not tell the old lady the real purpose of his strength, but said: "Aren't you most looking forward to your son's success, and now that I take them, are you unhappy?" Since I couldn't find it for two days, I went, and it would be a great achievement to find someone; Even if I can't find it, how much does it have to do with me? I went there with them, not on their own recommendation. Prince Uogawa is known as a virtuous person, so he won't be ignorant of this truth. ”

"Aren't I afraid that if I don't find someone, the prince and the eldest princess will be angry with you?" Old Lady Ren just muttered, and hurried over to help Zong Zhengjin undress.

Zong Zhengjin said lightly: "Anger me? The eldest brother is the elder of the pavilion, and the second brother's sister Yi was named a concubine not long ago. The prince doesn't look at the face of the monk and the face of the Buddha, but will only be more courteous to me. As for the eldest princess, even if there is discord......"

"What? Sister Yi actually entered the palace and became the mother of the concubine? Mrs. Ren exclaimed in surprise, unable to believe it.

Zong Zhengjin glanced at her and snorted coldly: "What a fuss, many daughters of my Zongzheng family have entered the palace as concubines, and there have also been outstanding sons and daughters of the clan. Sister Yi'er's talent and appearance, the future is definitely more than that. ”

Mrs. Ren smiled happily, nodded again and again: "Yes, yes, the Zongzheng family has been scholarly for generations, extremely noble, and all the descendants are promising." I couldn't help but say, "Let's enjoy Yue'er ......."

"Die!" Zong Zhengjin shouted angrily, "I will never send my granddaughter to such a place where no one can see you!" Do you think the second brother is willing to enter the palace with Sister Yi'er?! ”

Mrs. Ren was frightened, and hurriedly laughed: "Don't be angry, I'm just talking." I am also reluctant to let Yu'er Yue'er enter the palace, so I can only see it once in a few years. ”

"Not only can't you say it, you can't even think about it!" Zong Zheng said viciously, "If I find out what you are secretly doing and which granddaughter you want to climb the dragon and attach the phoenix, I will divorce you!" ”

Tears rolled down, and the old lady swore an oath, and finally coaxed the clouds on Zong Zhengjin's face to dissipate a little. But this matter is still in her heart. She was reluctant to give up her granddaughter. But doesn't she still have a granddaughter? As for Zong Zhengke, she didn't dare to turn around any strange thoughts, so the old man would have to tear her alive.

Nothing was said all night. The next day, sure enough, the chief staff of the Katsura Governor's Mansion of Yuchuan Prefecture personally came to the door to invite Zong Zhengjin. Zong Zhengjin had been prepared for a long time. He took his two sons to the prefect's yamen. When he entered the back hall, he found that not only Prince Yuchuan and the eldest princess of Kunshan, but also Pei Juma were actually here.

Pei Juma didn't see anything from outside the country to greet Zong Zhengjin to sit down, but Zong Zhengjin still gave a few courtesies to Prince Yuchuan, the eldest princess of Kunshan and Pei Juma, and greeted the Gui prefect. Zong Zhenglun and Zong Zhengfa also put down the wooden box they were carrying. Bow down to a few nobles.

Prince Uogawa did not hold it up, and personally stepped forward to pick up Zong Zheng, and made Zong Zhenglun and Zong Zhengfa stand up with a pleasant face. He sighed: "If it weren't for Shao'er's reminder, this king would have really missed out on such a good material as Lord Zongzheng!" Today, my uncle came over, and this king learned that it turned out that Lord Zongzheng was the famous 'day judge' in Ansan County! ”

Zong Zheng said humbly: "The master of the horse is really too elevated and a small minister, and those are all some small names in the past. Not worth mentioning, not worth mentioning! ”

Prince Uogawa was very satisfied with the attitude of the Zong Masa, and asked people to give him a seat. Zong Zheng did not shirk and sat calmly. Two sons stood behind him. Pei Juma asked him some things about the past trial, and he answered them all, and sure enough, he had something to say, and he knew that he was experienced when he heard it.

The eldest princess of Kunshan had long been impatient to listen to their cold noise, and couldn't wait to say, "Lord Zongzheng, I don't know where you plan to start?" As long as you find the child of this palace, this palace will not hesitate to reward! ”

Before she came, she was ordered by Prince Yuchuan's ear, and she also knew that although this Lord Zongzheng was worried, it was only a matter of time before she recovered. With the help of his powerful brother in Kyori, he must not be neglected, let alone ask for help. It's just that she has a noble status, even if she wants to say a few words and soft words, she doesn't know where to start, so she can only promise like this.

Prince Yuchuan glared at the eldest princess of Kunshan fiercely. He smiled at Zongzheng: "Master Zongzheng doesn't have to be too burdened, just do your best." The king also knows that two days have passed now, and the place where the incident happened is in chaos again, and it is more difficult to find clues. This king still has to force Lord Zongzheng to give some help and investigate carefully. ”

Zong Zhengjin hurriedly got up and left his seat. He hugged his fists and bowed and said: "The prince's words are really tormenting Weichen, Weichen will definitely do his best to find out the villain and find the princess!" ”

At this point, he did not delay any longer, so he took his two sons and took Pei's carriage to the Merlin to check. Along the way, Pei Juma couldn't help but comfort him, and even said that even if he found the princess's body, it didn't matter, the eldest princess's mansion and the Pei family would definitely protect him. In these words, it seems that Zong Zhengjin has no clansmen to rely on.

Zong Zhengjin also knew Pei Yuma's kindness, so he only smiled. Pei Juma saw that he was well-behaved, stable and decent, and really wanted to be friends and in-laws with him, so he inquired about the affairs of several girls in the Zongzheng family.

Zong Zhenglun and Zong Zhengfa, who were in the same car, were all shining. In Yuchuan Mansion, being able to marry the Pei family is a good thing that is difficult to find with lanterns. And Zong Zhengjin's principle is that as long as he doesn't mention the matter between Zong Zhengke and Pei Si, he can get through it with ease.

Although Pei Juma has a noble status, he only has a lord, and he has never entered the officialdom in his life, where is Zong Zhengjin's opponent of the old oilman in the officialdom for decades. In the end, he didn't get any promises, but counted the little characters in his family waiting to get married. Especially his old son Pei Yuncheng, who was scolded by him so much.

At the end, Pei Juma said whimsically: "Brother, I see that your two Linglang are not ordinary people, and they obviously have your true inheritance." Why don't you work hard and accept my unsuccessful dog as an apprentice and train my old brother, how about it? ”

Zong Zheng snorted directly, and suddenly pointed outside and said, "Merlin has arrived." Immediately, Pei Yuma's attention was distracted.

Now it is also regarded as the patriarch of the old ministers of the three dynasties, and the middle move is in the dynasty of his grandfather Xuanzong. Among the three brothers, he is the oldest, and he is the most reluctant in his studies and career, far inferior to the two brothers. Later, he failed to pass the Jinshi exam twice, so he completely dismissed it.

The three brothers of the Zongzheng family were all born to the same mother and had a deep relationship. The two elder brothers planned for Zongzheng and made him an official with the qualifications of a man, but he gradually became interested in the matter of criminal names.

When he was young, he was free and heroic, and he had a bit of a chivalrous style, even if he was a cheap servant like a quick catcher, he could not be ashamed to ask questions and humbly ask for advice. It is rare for a child of a family like him to be able to treat the lowly servants with sincerity.

Zong Zhengjin also received a rich reward for this. Not to mention the real skills, even some of the secret skills of the family of the heirloom servants have taught him a lot privately. He was able to accumulate officials to the deputy envoy of the first county of the fourth grade, although he had the power of his brother, and the reason why he had made several great achievements was also the most important reason.

Therefore, Zong Zhengjin's name of "day judge" is definitely not a big high hat that others help him wear. He does have real skills and hard work, which is also the source of his confidence in daring to take on the case of the kidnapping of the two princesses.

Walking around the scene of the crime that had been destroyed several times, Zong Zheng was calm and calm, and did not see the slightest strange look. His calmness and composure greatly infected the people who accompanied him here, and they inexplicably gave birth to many expectations for him. The eldest princess of Kunshan even ignored her honor, and kept following him closely, staring at him tightly with a pair of beautiful eyes, hoping that he would nod his head and say one or two auspicious words.

Zong Zhenglun probably inherited Zong Zhengjin's reading talent, and he was reluctant to do business, so Zong Zhengjin deliberately let him work hard in the direction of criminal name. However, Zong Zhengfa has the hope of being admitted to the Jinshi, and has been working hard to review his book recently.

Zong Zhengjin brought his two sons with him, and Yu Zong Zhenglun wanted to teach him some principles of punishment; Yu Zongzheng's war was to let him show his face in front of the nobles and pave the way for the future. He felt that because he was always sad about the sect and political cultivation in the past, he was negligent with the rest of his children, so he thought that it was not too late to make amends, and now it was too late to plan, so he often took his two sons to walk around and get to know some dignitaries.

This time, he still thinks the same thing. However, after paying full attention to the investigation, Zong Zheng suddenly looked back, only to see that only Zong Zhengfa was still following him respectfully. Zong Zhenglun stood very far away from the scene of the crime, nodded and laughed with Pei Yuma. His heart sank, and there was a little gloom in his eyes. (To be continued.) )
