She pondered for a while and said, "Pei Kun, let's draft the decree, Zhang Xi, as a heavenly official, has the hope of an old woman, accepts money, sells official positions, and his crimes are unforgivable, and he is exiled to a barbarian county; Xia Ru was his accomplice, stubborn, unrepentant, and exiled to the deserted county; Su Wei generation of poetry, unfortunately deceived for a while, the old woman read her talents, opened the net, and was degraded to the county of Jijun, hoping that he could understand the old woman's intentions and change his mind! ”

Pei Kun bowed and said, "Everyone is merciful!" ”

Su Wei Yao'er said a word, although he lost the position of prime minister, but he was relegated to the place, Zhang Xi and Xia Ru were more miserable, especially Xia Ru, he, like Su Wei, was affected by Zhang Xi, and the result was farther than Zhang Xi.

The three prime ministers were clearly executed, which meant that Yushitai lost the basis for confrontation with Kou Qing Palace, and as soon as the news spread, everyone in the officialdom knew that Wang Hongyi was finished. The imperial court would rather give up the three prime ministers than open up to the imperial history platform.

It stands to reason that not to mention the three prime ministers, even one prime minister, is more valuable than Wang Hongyi's imperial history, but over the years, the princes and princes of the court have fallen countless times, all of which are from the hands of cool officials, these cool officials are not high, but their authority is heavy, and the civil and military affairs of the Manchu Dynasty are for their purposes, and their energy cannot be measured only by their official positions.

The last time the Donggong surrender case was too noisy, and seven ministers were imprisoned, and the political affairs hall was almost wiped out, leaving Jiang Dexu as a fish that slipped through the net, once the matter failed, Jun Xiachen could not be punished severely, otherwise who could move them? Therefore, although three prime ministers were exchanged for one Wang Hongyi this time, it represented the victory of the civilian-official group.

Even if it's a counter-consumption. With the huge number of civil and official groups, the Imperial Historical Observatory cannot consume them, not to mention the lack of stamina of the Imperial Envoy Observatory. It is not so easy for them to grasp the handle of hundreds of officials, but over the years, the officials of Yushitai have been unscrupulous, but their handles are one by one.

In view of this, the cool history of the Yushitai began to lie dormant again, pretending to be a harmless little white rabbit.

Three days later, in the afternoon, Yao'er had lunch and took a walk in the rooms of Kou Qing's palace. After chatting for a while, he just fell asleep when he returned to his signing room, and Yuan Han rushed over: "Lang Zhong." Hou Si stopped! ”

"Oh? This guy can really bear it, and it took three days to make a move! Yao'er turned over and sat up, sneering: "Go!" Let's arrest him and get him! ”

After Yao'er left the yamen of Kouqing Palace, he immediately galloped with Yuan Han along Dingding Street to Dingding Gate. As soon as they crossed the Tianjin Bridge, the two of them sped up. Gallop on the wide, straight Dingding Street.

Several of Yuan Han's men who were experienced in handling cases and extremely experienced in handling affairs had already changed into civilian clothes and quietly followed behind the Hou family's ox cart. Hou Sizhi's second housekeeper personally drove the first car, followed by three ox carts, a total of four, slowly walked towards the Dingding Gate, and stopped at the door.

Because the imperial court has just issued a ban on slaughter, it is still a time when the slaughter is banned, and Dingding Gate is the city gate with the largest flow of people in Lin'an. There are not only the officers and soldiers guarding the city, the officers and soldiers of the Jinwu Guards patrolling, and the Lin'an Mansion officials wearing official clothes or civilian clothes patrolling here, but also a superintendent Yushi patrolling with his subordinates.

The people were much stricter than usual in entering and leaving the city. As a result, the city gate is a little crowded. In the carriage, a pretty woman with a double ten or so felt that the car had stopped, so she quietly lifted the curtain and looked out, looking a little nervous.

Ma Jue, the second steward of the Hou family, noticed it, and hurriedly lowered the bamboo hat, and while vigilantly looking at the people who were being interrogated at the city gate, he said in a low voice: "The second lady quickly sit back, don't worry, this is the car of the Hou Mansion, and you won't be subjected to too much trouble when you go out of the city." ”

The charming and pretty woman whispered in agreement, and lowered the curtain with some trepidation.

"What's in the basket? Wild vegetables, look at the water spirit, how much do you sell for this basket of wild vegetables, huh? What is this, give me a stop! ”

A country man carried a large bamboo basket and was interrogated by the officers and soldiers guarding the city. When the officers and men lifted the cover on the basket, they saw that it was full of wild vegetables that had just been picked up, but when the officers and men casually turned it down, they saw three white-striped chickens that had been plucked and slaughtered pressed down.

As soon as the matter was revealed, the countryman threw the vegetable basket and scattered his legs, and the two officers and soldiers who were checking immediately chased after him, and the chief who guarded the city gate here picked up the basket from the ground and looked at the three white chickens in the basket. Grin. He looked left and right, and saw no officials of higher rank than him approaching to the left, and hurriedly picked up the basket and walked away.

When Ma Jue saw this scene, he immediately raised a whip to urge the old cow forward, and at the same time shouted: "Let one, let one, my wife will go out of the city to enjoy the spring." A group of uneyed Tian Shehan is not about to dodge away! ”

There are a few people in cloth clothes waiting to go out of the city, Ma Jue urged the horse forward, shouting in his mouth, those people were quite dissatisfied, but turned their heads to see, only to see that the car decoration is gorgeous, not like ordinary people, and there are slaves on the left and right to accompany them, obviously a large family. Those small people didn't dare to argue, and hurriedly gave way to the left and right.

Ma Jue took advantage of this door to just walk two soldiers. There were few people to inspect, and the chief ran to hide the three white-striped chickens, and the inspection was even more lax, so he wanted to take advantage of this opportunity to go out of the city. When the ox cart reached the city gate, the city guards stopped him with a gun, and one of them said, "Stop, who is in the cart?" ”

Ma Jue arched his hand to the soldier on the ox cart. He said with a smile: "A few military masters have worked hard, the younger one is the coachman in the Hou Yushi Mansion, and a few ladies in the mansion want to go out of the city to play." The car is full of female dependents, and it is inconvenient to get off the car, so please ask the military master to make it convenient. ”

As soon as he said this, Hou Sizhi's second lady lifted the corner of the sedan curtain and poked out a hibiscus jade face, a pair of daisy eyebrows were lightly frowned, her face was flushed, and she shook a handkerchief impatiently in her hand, and said: "What's wrong, you have to check like this when you go out of the city in broad daylight?" ”

The soldier saw that the car was indeed carrying a well-dressed woman, and that it was a family member of the imperial history, and he didn't want to cause more trouble, so he put the big gun up, flashed it to the side, and just wanted to wave his hand to call them over, and the mutant was in vain.

Yuan Han's subordinates who were waiting for the oxen to ride donkeys pretending to be all kinds of people, etc., had been following behind the ox cart, and when they saw that the Hou family's car was about to leave the city, a strong man with a cow turned his head and gave a look, and a man carrying a penny suddenly turned the penny over. Use the penny with the iron tip to poke the scalper's ass hard.

The scalper could not bear the pain, moaned wildly, spread his hooves and rushed forward. The strong man who was holding the ox tried his best to pull the reins and shouted, "The cow is shocked!" The cow was shocked! He tugged on the reins hard, as if he wanted to stop the frightened ox, but he pulled the reins and forced the frightened ox to turn around, and as soon as the bull's head was lowered, the two sharp horns crashed into the gorgeous ox cart at the back of the Hou family's convoy.

"Ouch, my dear mother!"

The splendid ox cart was topped by the mad scalper. The car was crooked, almost didn't roll over, and the carport was knocked out of shape. The sedan curtain was slammed up, and I happened to see two huge horns stuck in the wall of the car, lifting upwards and opening a big mouth. The little woman sitting inside was Hou Sizhi's sixth lady. was so frightened that he lost his face and escaped from the car even crawling on the ground.

Hou Sizhi, the sixth lady, is only twenty-eight years old, delicate and slender, delicate and delicate, and the action of escaping is not fast, as soon as she lifted the sedan curtain, she just ran out of the carriage, and there was a commotion behind her. Countless horses of silk and satin poured down and slapped right on her back. Pressed her whole body down in the front seat.

Ma Jue's face changed greatly when he saw this situation, and the soldier who had already made way of the road suddenly saw a mad cow behind him hit the carriage of Hou Yushi's family, and a little woman fell out of the car, followed by bundles of silk and satin like a mountain, burying the pretty little woman underneath, and couldn't help but be stunned.

He was stunned for a moment before he suddenly reacted, immediately put the big gun horizontally, and shouted: "Take them down for me!" ”

Ma Jue panicked, he didn't know what to do for a while, there are three city gates in Dingding Gate, the middle one is the widest, and the officials who belong to Jin Wuwei, Lin'an Mansion and the imperial history of the Supervision Yuan are also guarding there, Ma Jue is afraid of accidents, and deliberately chose the left city gate to go out of the city, who wants to have an accident.

At this time, when the officials saw that something was going on here, they rushed to this side with their soldiers and soldiers, and ordered the ladies on the four ox carts to get off the car, and sent people to search for them, and the four ox carts were all piled with brocade silk, which filled almost all the space in the carriage, and only left a little space for one person to sit down.

No wonder the women who got off the car were all flushed, their foreheads were sweaty, they didn't dare to open the curtains of the car along the way, the inside was impermeable, and the piles were full of brocade, how not to feel stuffy.

Hou Sizhi has a large amount of brocade, why is he so panicked?

It turned out that at this time, although gold and silver were valuable, they did not have a monetary function, and people used copper coins to buy relatively cheap goods, and silk cloth, silk, and splendid goods to pay for large amounts. Not only can it be cut into clothes, embroidered into shoe uppers, but it also acts as a large currency.

Among these kinds of goods, brocade is particularly important. Nishiki, gold also. Its price is like gold, so the word is from the gold silk. If the rich and wealthy families are accumulating brocade, so that there is no currency circulation in the market, prices will inevitably soar, so the imperial court strictly prohibits the private accumulation of brocade, once found, there must be extremely severe punishment measures.

Now He Zhimiao is fighting in the Western Regions, Tian Sansi repairs Xingtai Palace, Sanyang Palace, and Jiantianshu, and the household department is overstretched, raising money everywhere, and he is so anxious that the household department is about to hang himself.

Jiang Dexu is the "chief writer" of the political affairs hall, it is impossible to push this matter to the household department, and he will ignore it, whether it is the military affairs of the Western Regions or the two palaces for the queen to build meritorious Tianshu and enjoy the landscape, it is absolutely impossible to delay, and if something goes wrong, he, the prime minister, will not have to do it.

Therefore, at the beginning of this month, the imperial court just issued a more severe decree: "Those who accumulate brocade among the people will be killed!" ”

As soon as this decree was issued, many families did not dare to accumulate any more splendid money, and there was a large amount of "circulating currency" in the market, which eased the Daqi economy, which was about to collapse. But where the profits come, there are always people who are bold, and Hou Sizhi is one.

Seeing that prices are soaring, and the price of splendid goods, which is a general equivalent, is also rising, how can he give it up? These cars are splendid, and if he puts them in the warehouse for a few more days, he will be able to buy a few more acres of land.

Now that Wang Hongyi has been arrested, Yao'er has stacked those cruel words in Taiwan prison, Hou Sizhi has become more and more uneasy the more he thinks about it, and he wants to transfer the splendid scenery stored at home to the countryside, and he is also worried that he has attracted Yao'er's attention, so he has let his wives and concubines drive out of the city every day for the past three days.

For three days, there was no accident, and then the splendid scenery stored in the house was put in the car, but this Hou Sizhi was just a peddler who sold cakes, where can his scheming compare to these Kou Qinggong who were promoted from various state capitals and counties, these people are all masters of criminal arrest, whether the car is light or full of goods, these public officials can judge it just by glancing at the ruts, and Hou Sizhi knows nothing about this big flaw, and today he finally fell into Yao'er's plan to "lure the snake out of the hole".

The brocade of four large carts is worth 10,000 gold, and in the face of so many stolen goods, Jin Wuwei, Lin'an Mansion and the superintendent of the imperial history are all embarrassed. Jin Wuwei and Lin'an Mansion really don't want to offend Yushitai, especially when the three prime ministers were demoted just now, and the prime ministers can be taken down by Yushitai, let alone them?

However, in front of everyone's eyes, if they say that they will let Hou Si stop at this, they can't afford this responsibility either. As soon as someone told the matter and it reached the ears of any court official who wanted to meddle in his affairs, they were guilty of dereliction of duty. The person who supervised the imperial history was the imperial history platform, and his face was even more pale in the face of such a scene.

Several officials secretly scratched their heads, they all hoped that others would speak first, whether it was to let the Hou family's car drive out of the city, or to hand it over to the company, as long as someone took the lead, he could take himself out, people were of the same mind, and there was a very strange scene for a while, and people from several sides pretended to be very serious about inspecting the seized brocade, and no one mentioned how to deal with it, but privately sent people to urgently notify their superiors to clean up the mess.

After a while, Lin'an Wei Tang Zong was the first to arrive, and he also scratched his head when he saw such a scene, if only his people saw this, then it would not be a big deal to open the net, and he could also use this move to tie up with Yushitai, but now that there are so many people watching, he categorically refuses to take this responsibility.

Tang Zong's arrival was useless, but under his orders, the four cars were driven to the side of the road, so as not to affect the entry and exit of others......

Hou Sizhi rushed to Dingdingmen, and when he saw the scene, he secretly panicked in his heart, and then went to find the frightened cow owner who hit his own car and horse.

Hou Sizhi was helpless, so he had to pretend to be an indifferent smile, stepped forward and arched his hand to Tang Zong, and said, "Ah! Tang Shaofu, to tell the truth, these brocades were gifts from colleagues and friends when the official accepted Mrs. Jiu last month, and the number was too much, exceeding the number of brocades stipulated by the imperial court.

How can this official supervise hundreds of officials and enforce the law for the country, but how can he know the law and break the law and store brocade? I was thinking about selling these brocades, but my wife heard from somewhere that the price of Lin'an brocade was not as high as Yangzhou, and the women were greedy for small profits, so they wanted to transfer the brocade to Yangzhou for sale.

Hi! In this way, the lady found a silk merchant, promised him some benefits, and asked him to transport it to Yangzhou for sale. Who wants to cause you Tang Shaofu a lot of trouble, ashamed, ashamed. Tang Shaofu, please also look at the thin face of the official and raise your noble hand, hehe......" (to be continued......)
