Chapter 537: Make a big deal out of it
When the queen heard Shu Jin's words, she didn't get angry, but smiled, and then talked about the situation.
After that, the queen instructed the palace people to clean up a pavilion in the small garden in the palace, and moved to the pavilion with Shu Jin to sit down, and the two watched the three children playing not far away, while drinking tea and eating snacks together.
The queen warmly greeted Shu Jin to eat, and let Shu Jin taste a plate of delicate snacks:
"County Lord, come and try this red bean crisp, the newly researched dim sum of the palace cook, I eat it tastes good, so I asked someone to prepare some for the county lord to taste.
Of course, when it comes to making dim sum, the county lord is a big connoisseur, so after the county lord eats, he will give a tasting evaluation by the way, and I believe that the master of the imperial dining room will definitely benefit a lot. Hongu can also be satisfied in the future. β
Shu Jin smiled when he heard this, took a bite from the kindness, and chewed slowly. She was not at all afraid of what the Empress would do in the snack, because the Emperor was not yet to the point of wanting to poison her. What's more, even if it is really poisonous, it may not poison her......
The dim sum in the mouth is soft and glutinous and sweet, and the taste is still good, but this filling is ......
"What? Does it taste bad? The queen saw Shu Jin's brows move, so she asked.
Shu Jin swallowed the contents of his mouth before he said:
"The queen said this is red bean cake?"
"Ah, yes. It's the name. β
"Red bean crisp made of mung bean paste?"
The queen seemed to be surprised, and said:
"Mung beans? No, it's supposed to be made of red beans! As he spoke, he picked up a piece and took a bite, then paused. "Really! With that, the queen put back the snack she had taken a bite of. Then he scolded a palace maid on the side for a few words.
The palace maid removed the plate of dim sum in a panic, saying that it was a new one.
The queen seemed to be angry with her subordinates, so she complained to Shu Jin:
"Hey, now these people down there, it's really unreliable! If you say east, he can go west, and it doesn't make people worry at all! The queen said. Look at it, just a small plate of pastries can make a mistake for you! You can't do something as simple as that! β
"It's not necessarily excusable to be in a hurry. The queen couldn't be angry about this little thing. Shu Jin comforted casually.
The queen exhaled. As if he had calmed down, he said:
"That's what Lord Xiangtang said! It's just that they generally see it. Anyway, it's just a plate of dim sum. As she spoke, the queen suddenly had a change of words and said. But. Sometimes, the people below have to watch closely, otherwise, they will make a mistake, and if they don't make a good scene, they will also affect the master, don't you say?
Shu Jin lowered his eyes, put down the tea cup in his hand, and sneered in his heart: It's here!
Really. I heard the queen continue: "County lord, I heard. Two days ago, something happened to Yipin Pavilion in Changdu East City, that is, the people below were not good at doing things? β
"I don't know exactly what the situation is, but from what I know about my subordinates, he probably wouldn't have done such a thing as selling smuggled salt."
"The county lord trusts his subordinates very much. I just don't know if they can afford the trust of the county lord! β
"The queen doesn't know anything. The only thing I can save every day with private salt is only a few dozen taels of silver, and if I am my subordinate, I might as well be greedy for some water in Yipin Pavilion. That's far more cost-effective than the money you get from the laws of the Great Performing Country.
The queen is right, I do have a lot of trust in my subordinates, so not all **** go to check the restaurant or something, if you want to do it, it's actually very easy. My subordinates are all merchants, how could they do such a sacrificial thing. β
When the queen heard this, she paused, and she didn't know how to answer for a while.
If you talk about wealth, even if she is a queen, she can't compete with Shu Jin. Shu Jin's words made her a little speechless. She didn't emphasize that her subordinates were innocent, nor did she emphasize that she didn't sell smuggled salt, but she told you that the daily turnover of Yipinge was more than the silver saved with smuggled salt, and there was no need for people to take risks!
"However, since it has been found out that Yipin Pavilion has private salt, it is natural to find out, I think, even the Criminal Department will not succumb to it. There must be some misunderstanding in this, and I will definitely be able to return my subordinates to my Yipin Pavilion a clean slate. β
Shu Jin said calmly, and he directly handed over the next matter to the Criminal Department.
You can judge it, just like you!
The queen blinked, a little confused about what Shu Jin meant. This woman, doesn't she care about the life or death of her men? She is not afraid that her subordinates will really be tortured into a trick, and finally give her a hat or something?
Wait, she just said, bending into a trick?
Queen Yipin Shu Jin's words, I always felt that when she said that "the criminal department will not bend into a move" here, her tone was deep. This means that as long as the torture is used on her subordinates, it is considered a torture trick, right?
Shu Jin didn't say anything, but the queen herself was already thinking more and more. Regardless of whether Shu Jin meant that or not, she actually tasted that taste.
Shu Jin continued to say:
"Speaking of which, although my husband is now stationed outside, he has been writing to me constantly, and I sent him a letter the day before yesterday to tell him about it.
Alas! Qian Liu, this guy, has been helping me since the opening of Yipinge, but he didn't know why he was charged with selling illicit salt. I don't know who he was framed against this time. Hehe, don't laugh at the queen. You know, a woman's family, when there is a little thing, it is easy to have six gods and no master, or find a man to give you an idea.
Thanks to the blessing of the canal, Yan Feng replied that he arrived this morning, and he also comforted me a few words in the letter, saying that I don't have to worry. If it is finally found out that my subordinates have been framed, I think the Criminal Department will not let the murderer who framed us go unpunished. β
In the queen's stunned expression, Shu Jin smiled at her and said:
"So, everything is still handed over to the Criminal Department, and to the law of our big performance."
"Ugh!" The queen wants to say, your line is different from what I and the emperor thought! However, Shu Jin obviously did not mean to act according to their script. In desperation. She had no choice but to chimed in, "What the county lord said makes sense. β
Shu Jin sat down again, and then patted his head. Road:
"Oh, look at me, if you stay here the queen, you will forget the time, and if you stay any longer, you will disturb the queen's lunch and rest!"
As he spoke, he stood up and saluted, saying:
"Queen Mother, Shu Jin took the children to retire first, Queen Mother, you have every opportunity. We won't bother. β
As he spoke, he called a subordinate from the house who came with him to call back Chang'an and Ruyi, who were playing.
The queen originally wanted to take advantage of the money 61 incident today to beat Shu Jin a little. As long as she relents, then she should admit to interceding with her, and ask the criminal department to open up the net and expose this matter.
But. Shu Jin's words are good. But she has already made it clear what she meant: My subordinates are framed, and if you want to try them, then you will be tried.
This step does not retreat, so that the queen can't give her steps if she wants to!
She's so confident, don't they dare to take her under them?
politely refused the queen's stay, and then Chang'an and Ruyi politely retired to the queen, and the mother and son got into the carriage and left the palace, leaving the queen with a confused face and the reluctant Qi Yun.
β¦β¦
The reason why Shang Qiang was asked to find someone was to find out who ordered the soldier to stuff smuggled salt into Yipinge. Knowing the specific circumstances of what happened is, on the one hand, to prevent someone from killing the soldier.
Take the news network of Spark today. It was not difficult to find out what was going on that day, and people quickly found it. Sure enough, the soldier had already taken on a mission, and he had to go out once. Shang Qiang followed directly, solved the person who was about to be killed, and saved the frightened soldier.
After Shang Qiang smuggled people back to Changdu, he also found out all the relatives of the soldier and other things, and then arranged for someone to transfer them all, and gave the soldier a hypnotic suggestion.
The emperor thought that he would have the upper hand when the criminal department tried the case, but he forgot that the criminal department also had to talk about evidence. When a person dies, how he died, whether it has anything to do with private salt can be found out, and the corpse must be used as evidence, so naturally it will not be destroyed, otherwise it will be difficult to convince the public. And as long as there are soldiers from this armed guard battalion, the source of the private salt will catch them off guard.
Shu Jin just wants them to interrogate, not only to interrogate, but also to let people watch them interrogate!
Yipin Pavilion has a great reputation in the Changdu City, and there are few people in the Changdu City who don't know, and there are few who are not curious. The emperor wants to blackmail her through this, so she will make a big deal out of it.
If Qi Lian is allowed to settle things down, and in the end, the reputation of Yipin Pavilion will be unclear, so Shu Jin will not suffer this secret loss!
Spread the news, whether it is good for Ippaoku or bad for Ippaoku. This development has attracted the attention of everyone in the city. Then, forcing the emperor to calm things down can't be done, and a public trial must be held to reassure the people.
Since Shu Jin returned home from the palace, it has only been two days, and Qi Lian has already discovered that the criminal department's decision to try the case of selling smuggled salt and eating dead people in Yipinge has become the focus of attention of everyone in Changdu City!
And Shu Jin stayed in the house like that, waiting for the opening of the Criminal Department!
"Is this forcing me to clean her up? Did she really think I wouldn't dare? β
Qi Lian hated the way.
However, when he said this, he knew in his heart that things had deviated from his original plan. Even if the last shopkeeper was convicted and dragged to beheaded, he couldn't do it if he wanted to take advantage of the situation to punish Shu Jin!
He can embarrass Shu Jin a little and scare Shu Jin, but Jiang Duanyu holds his hundreds of thousands of water troops, and he is the only available water army commander in the big performance! Jiang Duanyu garrison in front, let Qi Lian let go of his hand and deal with his wife in the back? Qi Lian, don't dare to ......
According to his investigation, Jiang Duanyu and his wife are a couple in distress, and their relationship is extremely deep. Qi Lian is not so naΓ―ve.
"Humph! If you want to be tried, you will be tried! Since you don't want the lives of this subordinate and your own reputation, what do I have to fear! β
In the end, Qi Liandao directly signed the excerpt for the criminal department to be interrogated publicly.
Anyway, in his opinion, the evidence is conclusive, even if Shu Jin uses any method, at most he will not implicate himself, and her subordinates will not be able to escape a punishment. When the time comes, he will take the opportunity to spread some rumors that Shu Jin is rich and unkind, and black-hearted profiteers will go out, hmph, the county lord of Xiangtang has always been very famous in Changdu City. When such a reputation spreads, see what her business will do in the future!
Stink her reputation and make her unable to do business! As long as her business can't continue, her own people can take the opportunity to expand her industry.
It's like Shu Jin's road is open, hasn't he been forced to close down and hand over all the goods to his official ship?
With such good wishes, Qi Lian approved the interrogation of the Criminal Department, and because of the high degree of attention to this matter, he also agreed to a public trial. In other words, this interrogation allowed the people to observe.
It is said that only a small yamen at the county level can have this kind of trial method that allows observers, and the criminal department, which is in charge of major cases, handles cases very seriously, so how can a group of ordinary people be allowed to watch from the sidelines?
But the emperor said yes, that is, yes. As a result, the officials of the criminal department simply proposed that the interrogation site be set up in a school field outside the imperial city of Changdu, simply to facilitate the people to watch. What makes Shu Jin spray the most is that Qi Lian is also approved!
"How much does this have to try to break me?" When Shu Jin heard about it, his first reaction was this. But in my heart, I can sympathize with Qi Lian's stupidity.
"He'll regret it." Shang Qiang gloated on the side and said with a smile, he didn't even bother to sympathize with Qi Lian.
"Hehe, what is this, he will regret it even more." Shu Jin Road.
It has been five or six days since the price of grain secretly increased, and Qi Lian is still thinking about how to spoil such trivial matters as Shu Jin's name, but as everyone knows, Shu Jin has used his strength to open a big net, and the big country, no matter who it is, cannot escape the scope of this net.
"If you do this, will it be too much movement?"
Shang Qiang nodded, but said with some concern.
Prices are unstable, and the impact of inflation on a country can be fully predicted. In fact, he didn't even understand why Shu Jin would act so decisively and mercilessly this time.
"Big move? It's going to be big! If I let them test a little bit, and finally test my bottom line before I fight back, how long will it take? I don't have the patience to play with them.
I only need to let them know once, don't mess with me, never beat my mind! β
"But, if this is the case, will Jiang Duanyu be guilty of disobedience or something in the future?"
"Does Qi Lian dare? He has just ascended to the throne, even with Qi Yan's support and the authority handed back to him by his grandfather, is he still walking on thin ice every day? If he dares to have a whisper about Yan Feng, it is to chill the hearts of his generals! β
Shu Jin Road.
Shang Qiang looked at Shu Jin for a long time, then suddenly blinked, touched his chin and asked Shu Jindao:
"Why do I think it's like you're doing this, and it's like you're going to be in two shots?" (To be continued.) )
