Chapter 228: The Study

When he was rescued, the man looked groggy and asked him what his name was, and he looked like an idiot, until he was brought back to the palace and summoned to the imperial doctor for treatment, only to know that he had been drugged, and after the effect of the medicine gradually returned to normal, he knew nothing about the fact that he was almost executed as another person.

This matter attracted Kangxi's attention and handed it over to Yinzhen for investigation, and what Yinzhen asked Tong Jiashi to do was to try to find out Yinzhen's progress in this matter.

Although it was not mentioned in the letter, I could guess that this matter must be related to Yinzhen, maybe he made a profit from it, so he cared about what Yinzhen found out.

At that moment, Tong Jia's eyebrows and eyes were already frosty and cold, and he said coldly: "Yinxi, he really treats me as a sparrow in his hand, and he can do whatever he wants!" ”

The feeling of being manipulated made her feel bitter, and she deeply regretted that she was young and ignorant, so that now she has been caught.

Fu Congzhi! Thinking of this person who once loved deeply, what appeared in Tong Jia's heart was not lingering, but deep disgust, if there was no such person, how could he be so passive!

"The master dissipates his anger, don't hurt his body." Thrush whispered to the side.

Tong Jiashi took a deep breath, but no matter how hard she tried, this anger couldn't be suppressed, and it was never her Tong Jiali's temperament to be at the mercy of others. She must never become Yinxi's puppet and bury everything she has now.

Last time Zheng Chunhua, although Yinzhen didn't ask her half a sentence again, it doesn't mean that she has no worries from now on, there is always a shadow of uneasiness hanging over her heart these days, and she vaguely feels that this matter has not passed.

Xiao Er changed a cup of hot tea and brought it to Tong Jia's cold hand and said worriedly: "Master, what should we do now, do we really want to do what Eighth Elder Brother said?" ”

Tong Jiashi lowered her head and stroked the warm white porcelain painting tea cup silently, her mind turned quickly, for a long time, she seemed to have made some major determination, raised her head and said: "Let Changshou come in, I have something for him to do." ”

There is no way to know what Tong Jia and Changshou said, and the letter was also reduced to ashes in the brazier.

That night, Tong Jiashi personally fried a few refreshing and delicious side dishes, put them in the food box and went to the study with a thrush, and when he was halfway there, it suddenly rained, and the rain hit Tong Jiashi who had never brought an umbrella one by one, wetting his carefully dressed clothes and hair.

Thrush glanced at the dark and dreary sky, pointed to the pavilion not far away, and said, "Master, let's go inside to avoid it first, and the slave will borrow an umbrella." ”

Tong Jia's gaze also stayed in the dark night sky, not knowing what he was thinking, and only after a moment did he retract his gaze and said, "Don't bother, let's just hurry over." ”

In this way, he walked quickly, and arrived outside the study before the rain fell, and Zhou Yong, who was guarding outside, saw her coming from a distance and hurriedly saluted and stepped aside.

Tong Jiashi bowed slightly, pushed the door in, and the candle of Jinzhou Shanggong was burning in the study, and there was a faint aroma wafting in the air when burning.

"You're here." Yin Zhen raised her head from the table, smiled at Tong Jiashi, beckoned her to come closer, and saw a large piece of wet on her body by the orange candlelight, and couldn't help but wonder: "Is it raining outside?" ”

Tong Jiashi said while putting the side dishes on the small table next to him: "Yes, it suddenly rained halfway, and the loss is not big, otherwise the concubine will make these dishes in vain, and the fourth master will come and taste them." ”

"Okay, I'll come over when I've finished reading these files." Yin Zhen smiled slightly, and his clear eyes flashed a faint light of unknown meaning, which disappeared for a moment. Yin Zhen saw it very quickly, and after a short time, she had already finished reading it all, put her pen on the shelf, got up and moved her wrist that was a little sore, and was about to sit down, when she found that Tong Jia's body was still wet, and stroked her wet hair and said softly: "It's cold, you are so easy to be invaded by the wind and cold, I asked Zhou Yong to get you a dry towel to wipe it, and then change your clothes." ”

Don't wait for Tong Jiashi to say anything, he has already walked out of the house, seeing that he is the only one left in the room, Tong Jia's eyes moved, tiptoed to the desk, and the table was spread out on the file that Yinzhen had not closed after reading it, which happened to be about the execution of death row prisoners with civilians, I think it was Yinzhen's subordinates who collected evidence and traced it, recorded the cause in detail, and pointed out the conspiracy behind this incident.

The three caves of the cunning rabbit, those corrupt officials or wicked people, often have a lot of family wealth, and they will never be placed in the same place, the court confiscated only their family wealth on the surface, how much is still in secret, where it is hidden, it is unknown.

Those people, in order to survive and survive, are naturally willing to take money to buy their lives, and these silver are often tens of thousands of taels, and many even reach more than 100,000 taels. The most shocking thing is that the entire prison of the Criminal Department has been opened up and down, and there is a line up and down, no wonder it can be done without knowing the ghosts.

As for the ministerial-level officials and even Yinzhen, they usually don't go to prison, and they naturally don't know about this kind of black-box operation, until this time it is exposed, otherwise I don't know when it will be hidden.

It is no wonder that people often come to the Criminal Department to find people, saying that their relatives have not been released since they were arrested, but the prison records have already been released, but they did not return home immediately after being released from prison. And the number of people is not large, so it is not regarded as a thing, at most it is just a record, and the words will look for them and give up. It wasn't until this death case broke out that I realized that there was such an inside story.

It is also recorded at the end of the dossier that they have found out the body of a Zheng Wupinlang Zhong of the Criminal Department, and he should have a lot of contact with the main messenger behind the scenes, and I believe that as long as this thread is pulled, sooner or later the main messenger behind the scenes can be found out, and as for the amount of silver involved, it should be as huge as one million taels, and this amount is extremely rare even after the establishment of the Qing Dynasty.

The dossier ended here, and it was not mentioned who the surname of this Lang Zhong was, Tong Jiashi had heard Yinzhen inadvertently mention that there were three people in the Criminal Department, but I don't know which of these three people it was.

Just as he was guessing, he heard the sound of the door opening behind him, and Tong Jiashi hurriedly pretended to clean up the table for Yinzhen, and put the file aside neatly.

With her back to Yinzhen, she didn't see the inexplicable complexity that flashed under Yinzhen's eyes, until Yinzhen took a dry towel to wipe her wet hair before she turned around, smiled softly, and said: "Just wipe the concubine's body yourself, the fourth master hurry up and eat, don't be hungry." ”

Seeing Yinzhen sit down to eat, Tong Jia's party went to the side room to change into a clammy and cold clothes, and after Yinzhen used it, she gave him the tea used to rinse her mouth while looking at him and said: "Fourth master, the last time you talked about the Old Summer Palace, the concubine has never had the opportunity to go, and she is quite yearning for the beautiful scenery there, and I heard that there are a lot of moon and autumn chrysanthemums planted in the garden, and even maple trees have been planted a lot, and now it is in full bloom, it must be picturesque, so the concubine wants to go to the garden to live for a few days, I don't know if it is possible?" ”
