Chapter 257: Jade Dragon Cloth Village (4)

The third batch of fabrics is six horses, two pieces of labor cloth (denim), two plaid sheets, and two dark chemical fiber cloths, and there are no bright and fresh small flower cloths. After the literate people read the product descriptions on the billboards to the people gathered at the door of the cloth village, it was not all women who came into the store to buy the cloth. Labor cloth is the scientific name, that is, denim. But the man of the Qing Dynasty, if you treat him like a calf, he will be angry.

These denim fabrics are pure cotton with a small amount of chemical fiber, which is very strong and suitable for men who work manually. You don't need Ruiqian's introduction, you can know if it's strong or not.

Plaid sheets are single, and the arguments are sold. The blue and white checkered sheets were favored by the butcher's lady and others at the same time, and after the implementation of the method of entering the store in batches advocated by Tian Liang, the cloth village suddenly became much quieter. Ten people were brought in at a time, and the others had to stand in line and wait. No crowding, no noise. Under the courageous maintenance of eight soldiers wearing positive yellow flags, it suddenly became orderly. Tian Liang and Nalan helped watch the show for a few days. Four days later, the third batch of cloth was finished.

In the middle of the night, more than a dozen young sergeants wearing Imperial Forest Army uniforms jumped into the backyard wall of Chen's house, pried open the door of Ruiqian's room, pulled Ruiqian, who had been lying down to rest, from the bed to the ground, and then tied him up. Then he was dragged out of the room, pushed into a covered carriage and dragged away.

Ruiwang Mansion, Yun'er's room, Yun'er, who had already entered a deep sleep, suddenly heard a metal impact sound in his ears, "ding"! Yun'er immediately sat up, meditated cross-legged, and observed her forehead. clearly saw that his cousin Ruiqian was arrested and put into the prison of the Criminal Department and pushed into the prison. It may be late and there will be a trial tomorrow. But Yun'er didn't feel at ease, and hurriedly called the fish next to her: "Sister Yu'er, hurry up and follow me to the front yard to find the prince, there is something urgent." ”

"Yes. Master, put on your cloak and watch the cool. ”

Ling Juan was also woken up by Yun'er: "Sister Ling, you can take good care of my baby Beibei." I have an urgent need to go to the front yard. “

"You go, I'll go."

"Side Fujin, Wang Ye Fujin has already rested, so he can't be disturbed." The two pro-soldiers standing guard at the gate of Yiran Hug stopped Yun'er's footsteps at the same time.

Yun'er shouted: "Get out of the way!" I have a big event to report to the prince Fujin, can you bear the matter of human life? ”

"Side Fu Jin, please." The pro-soldiers no longer dared to stop Yun'er.

Wang Ye Fujin is a person who practices martial arts, and he is vigilant, and there are ** guards who have come to report in advance. The prince put on his jacket and came to the outer world, and Fujin also followed.

"There's no need to pass it on, let Fang Fujin come in directly." The prince's voice was low.

Yun'er rushed to the prince Fu Jin and said, "Brother Ruiqian is in danger. ”

"Oh, I'll enter the palace right away."

"Do you need a concubine to be with you?" Fu Jin asked.

"No, you can go back to sleep. Something happened to Buzhuang, I have to go and see. ”

After getting dressed, the prince hurriedly came out with Yun'er. Fish are the most well-behaved and automatically lag behind a certain distance.

"Lord Wang, Brother Ruiqian has been arrested and sent to the Criminal Department. This is what Yun'er saw from Tianmu. ”

"Is there anyone interrogating?"

"Not yet."

"I'll go into the palace with Ryoko to find the emperor."

"Thank you, Lord Wang."

Tian Liang was also woken up by Yu'er: "The prince said to let you enter the palace with him, and the shopkeeper Chen of Yulong Buzhuang was arrested by the Criminal Department." ”

"Huh? I got up right away. If the master is not in the house, you and Rui'er go to the master's place to help him take care of Bellegege, and you must not let Rui'er be in the house by herself. ”

As soon as Tian Liang came out of the room, the prince came out. Yun'er saw that no one else told them that you don't have to ride into the palace on horseback, Yun'er sent you over. Turn around ......"

When the two of them opened their eyes, they saw that it was the emperor's Qianqing Palace. At this time, Emperor Shunzhi had not rested yet, and was looking for something in front of a large map. Wu Liangfu, the chief eunuch in charge of communication, lowered his voice and said, "Your Majesty, Lord Rui has urgent matters to see. ”

"Hurry in, what's the matter? Brother Huang, but what happened? ”

After the prince entered the palace, he wanted to salute the emperor, but was stopped by Shunzhi. Asked eagerly: "Brother Huang is in a hurry?" Tell me quickly. I'm here to help. ”

"Your Majesty, I beg you to come for my brother. In the past few days, the minister took out a little cloth bought in a foreign land and asked Fang Fujin's cousin to sell it on behalf of him, and this is the third time that the people from the Criminal Department have been arrested and brought into the Criminal Department. He is a scholar and a seller of goods to ministers, so he has nothing to do with him at all. It's just a few pieces of cloth. Chen: I'm afraid that the people from the Criminal Department will use torture tools against Young Master Chen. ”

"Rest assured! Wu Gonggong! Hurry up to the door and call Tie Yan in. ”

"Huh!" Wu Liangfu hurriedly went out and called Zhao Tieyan, the leader of the guards who was standing guard at the door, into the main hall.

"Subordinate Zhao Tieyan is waiting for the emperor's orders."

"You and Tian Liang hurry up to the Criminal Department, take my Panlong Sword, and fish out Chen Ruiqian, the shopkeeper of Yulong Cloth Village, and then go directly here, I have something to say, go quickly!"

"Huh!" Tie Yan and Tian Liang hugged their fists and saluted, exited the Qianqing Palace, and just wanted to tell Wu Liangfu to find a fast horse, but they felt dizzy for a while, closed their eyes, opened their eyes, and saw that they had arrived in front of the prison gate of the Criminal Department. Tian Liang knew what was going on, and said to Tie Yan: "Don't be stunned, it's important to save people!" ”

In the prison of the Criminal Department, an official wearing a squire official uniform was sitting behind a big case, and shouted at Chen Ruiqian, who was stripped of his shirt and tied to the shelf: "Say! Where did the cloth you sell come from? Someone reported that you have a secret weaving location, are you from the former Ming Sect? If you don't say it, your family will accompany you to the west! ”

"My lord, why can't you understand what you're saying? The cloth under is a relative who asked him to sell it on behalf of him, what is the secret weaving place? Do we have such a wide loom in the Qing Dynasty? ”

"Then tell me who your relative's surname is? Say it and let you go. ”

"Your Excellency, you don't want to put your subordinates in an unjust situation, do you?"

"Look at you, you're a scholar, your bones are very hard, come here, beat the official to death!"

"Wait!" A broken cry sounded in the ears of Lord Shilang, which frightened Lord Shilang to jump up, and his voice was split: "Who?" Who, who? "He's secretly interrogated, and no one knows about it.

"Hahaha! May I ask you, Lord Squire, who gave you such a great right to arrest and interrogate people at will? If you ask me who I am, then look at this sword first. ”

"Beaulieu Sword! Long live the emperor, long live, long live! "It's not bad, Lord Shirou knows this sword. Frightened, he slipped straight out of his chair and knelt on the ground.

"Untie the rope of Shopkeeper Chen! You know it yourself! ”

"Yes, yes, yes! Personally dismiss the lowly duty! ”

This squire was a little confused, how did the things that couldn't be known at all leaked? Even the emperor knows about it! He actually sent a personal guard with Shang Fang's sword to fish for people in the prison, and it was broken, and the father-in-law of the Internal Affairs Office said that he was following the order of the Queen Mother, and secretly followed the Yulong Cloth Village on Qianmen Street to see where they got the lasagar, and he must find out the location of the secret production of lasagna. But this is only conveyed by Fang's father-in-law, it is difficult to say whether it is the queen mother's decree, maybe they are under the banner of the queen mother, and they want to annex this workshop that produces lasagna and steal it for themselves. I heard that in front of the Jade Dragon Cloth Village, hundreds of people lined up to buy cloth. They are all fine fine cloths of four feet five and four feet eight wide, which are absolutely not available in the Qing Dynasty! However, he did not have any evidence to say that he was following the decree of the Queen Mother, that is, wouldn't he bear the great crime of provoking discord between the emperor and the queen mother? But if you don't say it, you'll become someone else's scapegoat! Unjustly dead, unjustly dead! Who would have dared to wade into this troubled water?

Lord Squire's intestines are all repentant, a good squire in the criminal department is not appropriate, and he got together with a eunuch!

Rui Qian rubbed his two arms that were tied and numb, knelt down and kowtowed to Tie Yan and Tian Liang: "Two benevolent dukes, your great kindness and virtue will not be forgotten until death......"

The two of them picked up Rui Qian together: "It was Prince Rui who saved you, I heard that you entered the prison of the Criminal Department, and entered the palace overnight to find the emperor, the emperor sent us." Do you have a big body? ”

"It's okay, it's okay, I'm just tying up hemp on my body, and I haven't been punished yet. Then you can't see the emperor to thank you. ”

"Why not? The emperor is waiting for you in the Qianqing Palace, you don't have to be nervous, the emperor just asks how you were arrested today, and let's go if you tell the truth. Do you want to be carried on your back? ”

"No, no, I didn't even suffer a little injury under it, and my arms and legs were intact, I could walk, I could walk!"

In Qianqing Palace, after Chen Ruiqian kowtowed to the emperor, the emperor personally helped him up: "When Guard Zhao and Guard Tian went to the prison to catch you, the imperial brother kept regretting it, saying that he had affected you, but in fact, I had affected him. If it weren't for me to earn money, how could these inexplicable things happen, here I apologize to you and to the imperial brother! ”

"Your Majesty!" The prince and Ruiqian pulled on Emperor Shunzhi at the same time. The prince solemnly gave Rui Qian a long bow and said, "It was this king's thoughtlessness that frightened the shopkeeper Chen. I'm sorry I won't let you take this risk in the future. ”

"What did you say, lord? You are a businessman, you have given you a chance to make money in the next profit, we are all close relatives, and we have not sold enough cloth for you. ”

The emperor said, "Yes! Shopkeeper Chen is so right! We still have to entrust him to sell the goods! The shopkeeper Chen is Fang Fujin's cousin, who else is more reliable than him? By the way, I forgot to ask Shopkeeper Chen, what kind of official was the official who interrogated you? What kind of official uniform are you wearing? How old are you and what do you ask? ”

"Back to the emperor, the lord was about forty-seven or eighteen years old, very thin, slender and tall, with deep folds on his face, a rectangular face, a scab on his chin, and a few long hairs on it. I don't know what kind of official uniform the officials wear, and the complement in front of the brother who is interrogated is a golden chicken. ”

"Okay, yes, you made it clear, I already know who he is. What did he ask you? ”

"The lord said that there was a secret weaving place in Xia, and let him confess. But where is there a weaving place down there? It is to sell a few pieces of flower cloth for the prince. ”

"This person doesn't know how to do his business at all, but he is very talented in fabricating charges. That's it. Shopkeeper Chen, you are frightened! ”

"It's okay, it's okay, I've seen what the prison of the Criminal Department is like."

"Tian Guard, if you send Shopkeeper Chen home, the people in his family must be very worried. Shopkeeper Chen, let you be wronged. Don't worry, I will give you back what they have taken from your store or home! And if you still want to continue to help the imperial brother to run the cloth, I will give you a position as an imperial merchant, make you a Zhengyang Sheren, and give you a yellow coat and my own inscription. You go home and rest for a few days, and when all the formalities are complete, you will open a store for sale, and sell the goods for the royal brother justifiably. ”

Chen Ruiqian couldn't believe his ears, and quickly knelt down and kowtowed: "Thank you, Lord Longen!" From now on, you should do your best to be loyal to the emperor! ”

"Well, that's good, then you can kneel down first."
