Chapter 12: Meddling in the Investigation

The next evening.

After eating, Wang Jiu went to the back garden, and in autumn, the leaves of the trees in the garden were green and yellow, and the wind blew and fell to the ground.

The sky is high and wide, and the leaves fall like rain,

The wind smells of crisp grass leaves.

When Fengtai saw his master, Wang Jiuzheng closed his eyes slightly and leaned against the trunk of the tree as if he was asleep, and as soon as his footsteps rustled, he opened his eyes and asked, "Have you checked it out?" "

Fengtai bowed and replied: "Eleven and Twelve are back, and they have traveled seven or eight hundred miles in one day and one night, and their subordinates have asked them to change their clothes and come to see Gongzi again."

I don't know what's going on when I come back this time, Jiugongzi can't smell the fragrance of flowers and powder, let alone smell the smell.

With a snort in his nose, Wang Jiu stood up lazily and said, "How is Wuyang over there?" "

Although he did not nominate the surname Dao, he has been wearing personal clothes for more than ten years, Fengtai naturally knew where the focus was, and stepped forward two steps and said in a low voice: "Today, Wang Yan asked when the prince will go back, and in addition... The person who wants Xie Niangzi to be a concubine is a disciple of the Seventh Master."

Wang Jiu sneered and said, "It's just that he can raise goods that don't know the height of the sky, well... Who is it? "

Fengtai replied cautiously: "It's a concubine of the seventh master's cousin, named Wang Zhongyi, this person is in charge of several shops in the south of Wuyang City, and often goes to Xinyu to take salt."

Wang Jiu said coldly, "Hmm...".

Feng Tai said in a low voice: "The subordinates spent dozens of dollars to invite his groom to drink, and after a few bowls of wine, he said everything" paused, and said, "There are five good concubines and eight concubines in Wang Zhongyi's mansion... Ji is twenty, and there are more than a dozen Xiaolang in the other courtyard."

This person has no official position, he can't marry a wife, below the main wife, men and women have a total of forty or fifty people, Wang Jiu sneered: "I managed a few grocery stores, and my family background is like this, and the subordinates of the seventh master... Good skills"

Fengtai didn't dare to answer.

Wang Jiu did not speak again.

The slanting sun gradually ended, the autumn wind was as tight as a burst, Wang Jiu grabbed a fallen leaf with his hand, and slowly gathered it in the palm of his hand.

The two of them stood for a moment, and when they heard the rustling of footsteps coming this way, Feng Tai stiffened his head and said, "Childe, I'm afraid it's eleven or twelve."

As he spoke, two sturdy men in green clothes with narrow sleeves rushed over to salute when they heard the voice: "My subordinates have seen my son."

Wang Jiu glanced at the two of them and asked, "What did you find out?"

Wu Shiyi said: "Xie Huaijin's wife was born in the Zhao family, and Xie gave her a thing... It seems to be cold."

Wang Jiu asked indifferently, "How did she get on the line with Wang Zhongyi?" "

Wu Shiyi frowned, and said solemnly: "Xie Zhishi is in charge of the two places of salt and iron and Duzhi in Xinyu City, Wang Zhongyi sent gifts to Xie Mansion a few times, but he didn't see Lord Xie, but he saw the Zhao family. The two of them met a few times, but they all concealed from Lord Xie, and then the price of salt in the two rivers suddenly rose sharply, and Lord Xie went to the department to report the details, and the Zhao family wanted to send Mrs. Xie to Wang Zhongyi as a concubine."

In order to get a large amount of low-cost salt in Xinyi, it is natural that the three divisions in charge of salt and iron need to loosen up, Wang Zhongyi wanted to take the path of Xie Huaijin, but he didn't expect that this person not only did not accept money, but also did not even see face. Unthinkable, when he heard that Mrs. Xie Zhao was from the Zhao family, Wang Zhongyi sent someone to ask Zhao's eldest brother to come forward.

Zhao knew that he couldn't eat at Xie Huaijin's place, so Suo Xing privately met with a few small officials and family members in charge of the salt warehouse, and released salt to Wang Zhongyi under the banner of Xie Huaijin.

A little bit of small profit fascinated the Zhao family's eyes, I am afraid that it is not that the Zhao family wants to send Xie Jiang to be a concubine, but that Wang Zhongyi wants to pinch Xie Huaijin in his hand and hit it off with the Zhao family.

Wang Jiu sneered: "It's a good calculation, thinking that after receiving Xie Huaijin's son-in-law, the surname Xie will be used by him, idiot... The people of the Xie family, he also dared to play tricks"

Now, it is not only a question of whether Xie Jiang is a concubine or not, but also involves the Xie family. Although the Xie family in Wuyi Lane has gradually declined in recent years, this generation has a Xie Shu Xie Huaijin with amazing writing, and there is an additional Xie Ce with extraordinary martial arts.

The Xie family is in the middle of the relationship, and it is too late to make friends, Wang Zhongyi actually wanted to use such despicable means to coerce Xie Huaijin, not to mention that he was involved in the Guanjin Cui family.

Wang Jiu raised his hand and rubbed his eyebrows, and ordered: "The price of salt in the two rivers has suddenly risen sharply, and the Privy Council has been ordered by the king to assist in the investigation, and the eleventh leader of the seven members of the Wu team will go to Xinyu County tomorrow, no matter how big or small, investigate clearly."

The topic suddenly turned around, and Feng Tai and Wu 11 Wu 12 couldn't react, so they heard Wang Jiu's order again: "Arrange for Xinyue to go to Wang Zhongyi's mansion to find out what this person has done."

On the surface, Xinyue is Wang Jiu's girl, but secretly... Specializes in assassination clichés.

The three of them hurriedly bowed down.

Wang Jiu turned his eyes and looked at Wu 11 and Wu 12 and said, "When did the Zhao family meet which person, what did they say, and how many thank you gifts did Wang Zhongyi accept... Everything has to be investigated clearly, two copies of the record, one is sent to me, and the other is ......" hooked lips and smiled, "Send it to the new capital to Lord Xie, I want to see... What did he do with the Zhao family?"

The ninth prince has always been unpredictable, and the three of them couldn't imagine that he would check the Zhao family's old background, and they couldn't figure out how to send the record to Xie Huaijin. The light and shadow in the forest were dim, and the three of them couldn't see Wang Jiu's face clearly, and they didn't dare to ask, so they had to bow down.

Xie Jiang's small courtyard.

The autumn breeze is cooler than ever. Yujing took a small jacket of crow blue Songjiang Aya, and compared it to Xie Jiang: "The sleeves are a little short, the slave maid dismantles them one after another, and they can wear them for another year."

Mama Han said: "The second lady has pulled out a tall, and the other clothes are probably smaller, rummage through the autumn and winter clothes in the cabinet, see how many can be worn, and do what is missing."

Xie Jiang stretched his waist and said softly: "When I came, didn't A-Niang give twenty golden beans, take a few to buy cloth, and come back to make new ones" Talking in his mouth, he took off his shoes and sat cross-legged on the couch, counting with his fingers, "Hmm... Mama adds two pieces... Two pieces for each of the three of you, Auntie's... Ah Zhi's... Brother Xuan's... Uncle's ......"

Counting and counting, there were not enough fingers, Xie Jiang simply stared at Mama Han: "Mama calculate, how much is enough?" "

a tael of gold for ten taels of silver, and a tael of silver for a thousand thousand five hundred baht; A horse on the brocade one tael of silver to three taels of silver, silk cloth... Cotton cloth... Silk... These are only a few dozen dollars to hundreds of dollars a horse.

Xie Jiang opened his mouth and used golden beans, Han Mama and Yujing were a little stunned, and then saw her eager to break her toes to count, Han Mama coughed, and let Yujing go out to guard "Second lady, live a long life, and then there is..."Looking at Xie Jiang's white and tender feet, she sighed: "The second lady asked the old slave to follow the lady out, thinking that from now on the old slave will be the second lady's person..."

Seeing her sad face, and thinking about the last sentence, Xie Jiangka laughed out loud: "Ouch, isn't it... Mama is my person. Ha ha... If you have anything to say, just say it."

Mama Han straightened her face and said in a deep voice: "In the future, the second lady can no longer sleep lazily, learn the rules at two hours in the morning every day, and learn to make accounts in the afternoon."

On the first day of coming to the mansion, Cui's ordered someone to pass the word that Xie Jiang didn't need to get up early in the main courtyard to ask for peace when he was recovering from his serious injury, so this person slept until the sun was high every day before getting up.

The easy day is not two days later, and you have to get up early to learn to walk... Xie Jiang rolled his eyes a few times and said, "Good grandma, I'm growing taller, what should I do if I sleep less and grow taller?" It's better to study for an hour in the afternoon."

Is there any reason for this? Is there one? Mama Han's mouth opened a few times, and she couldn't think of how to interface it, so she had to close her eyes and see nothing.

As long as you don't block your ears, Xie Jiang said softly: "Mama don't worry, I know the truth of sitting and eating the mountain, we now have twenty golden beans, and we got four ingots of gold on the way here, and we can spend half a year lying down and eating" Speaking of this, I couldn't help but think of the stinky robber, sighed and said, "I don't know if that nine sons are injured, if you dismantle the stitches for him... Maybe I'll earn two more ingots of gold."

The tone was faint and sighing, as if it was an indescribable disappointment.

Mama Han simply turned around and muttered: "Food is safe, chopsticks don't touch bowls, cups don't touch cups; Chew silently... Closed his hands and hung his shoulders..."With the rules in his mouth, he lifted the curtain all the way out of the house.

In a few days, it will be Mrs. Wang's 60th birthday, whether it is according to the Guanjin Cui family or the Langyu Wang family's generation, the Cui family will go to the Wang family's old house to celebrate the birthday, this kind of occasion, generally take the juniors to join in the fun, if Xie Jiang can go to see a group of noble women, maybe he can accept his temperament.
