Burning the deed of sale in his hand, Huang Qiong looked at Song Zhizhao, who was a little overwhelmed by his act of burning his deed of sale, and smiled at him: "If you understand it right away, you won't be you." You go down to rest first, and I'll tell you when there's news." ”

"During this time, you should ponder my words. Oh, that Qinghai horse must be cured as soon as possible. Whatever you need, just go to the account and withdraw it. ”

Hearing that Huang Qiong had given an eviction order, Song Zhizhao, who wanted to say something, opened his mouth and finally didn't say anything, turned around and followed Li Hai silently. And Huang Qiong ignored Li Hai's words before leaving, and wanted to pass the meal. Just told him that after Jia Quan came back, let him come over to see him immediately. Let the kitchen prepare a few side dishes and wait for Mr. Jia to come back and eat with him.

After Li Hai turned to go down, Huang Qiong looked at the candle flame in the study and quietly fell into deep thought. Song Zhizhao's words, although Huang Qiong said that he was light and light on the surface. But in fact, hearing that King Rui actually intervened, could Huang Qiong calm down? Song Zhizhao's father was the governor of the Suzhou herding superintendent, and he produced nothing but war horses within his jurisdiction.

What was the purpose of King Rui sending people to him? Did you want to buy a war horse from him? Otherwise, what would a prince of Zhengzhou do when he sent people all the way to Suzhou? You know, Suzhou is close to the Uighurs. However, whether it was negotiations with the Uighurs, or commercial and civil affairs, he was not the only one of the herdsmen to oversee him.

That is the military under the jurisdiction of Yumen Pass, the military envoy of Suzhou under the jurisdiction of the governor, and the civil affairs are under the responsibility of the governor of Suzhou. At the upper level, the people have the Longyou Road pacification envoy, and the army has the jurisdiction of the Longyou system envoy and the Jiedu envoy. Except for these horse farms under his subordinates, he can't manage them or anything. Even if the king wanted to trade privately with the Uighurs, it was not his turn to find a herd overseer.

The only thing King Rui could do when he came to him was to buy a horse. If King Rui wants to buy a few good horses for his own use, I'm afraid Song Zhizhao's father will not be worried. Even if King Rui wanted to smuggle, he wanted to buy a donkey for the goods, and he didn't need to go to the herd shepherd.

Judging from the situation in the Jingzhao Mansion Horse Market today, Ruiwang does not need to go out of Henan at all, and he can buy enough horses to carry goods. He went to the shepherd's overseer and even dealt so heavily after being refused. I'm afraid that apart from buying war horses, and the number is definitely not small, I'm afraid there is absolutely nothing else.

He is a vassal outside, according to the so-called ancestral custom, except for the protection of more than 100 people, he is not allowed to raise any army, and even the prince who is not allowed to contact the military attaché, what will he do if he wants to buy these war horses? What can be done? Could it be that King Rui is really waiting for the day when Zhonggong Yan drives?

It's just that Huang Qiong vaguely feels that things are not as simple as they seem on the surface. If King Rui really had the intention of rebellion, how could he go all the way to Suzhou to buy war horses? Unlike those horses that pull carts and pack goods, military horses have always been strictly controlled by the imperial court.

He went to Suzhou, thousands of miles away, to buy horses, needless to say, whether the herd supervisor would agree to such a headless thing. Even if Song Zhizhao's father agreed, how could he get it back? From Suzhou to Zhengzhou, where he was a vassal, it can be said that the distance is thousands of miles. In the middle, not only did there be a large number of garrisons in the Hexi Corridor, but the garrisons were also divided into border armies and local guards.

In addition to the government offices in various places, even if he buys a war horse, unless he has his hands and eyes to the sky, so that the officials along the way can listen to him Rui Wangfu, otherwise he will not be able to transport it back at all along the way. It may even be possible that you can't even get out of the Hexi Corridor, and you have to have an incident. Buying military horses in private, no matter what you do, can be said to be no different from rebellion.

Once he reports to his emperor Lao Tzu, even if his emperor Lao Tzu is eccentric and thinking about his relationship with the Middle Palace, I am afraid he will not be able to tolerate him. This is the case in all dynasties, no matter how favored the prince is and how respected the mother's status is. But once it comes to rebellion, no emperor will care about the love of father and son. There is no father and son in the heavenly family, this is not just talking.

Would his second brother be so stupid and expose himself to the idea of rebellion? I'm afraid this is impossible, and people who can fight with the prince for so many years will be so stupid there. Jia Quan commented on King Rui's greed and domineering, but he never said that he was stupid.

A smart person would never do such a stupid thing. Therefore, Huang Qiong can conclude that if King Rui really has the intention of rebellion, he will definitely not make such a self-defeating approach. But what kind of articles are there? If it really wasn't done by Ruiwang, then who is the hand behind it? Is it the same person as the person who drugged himself?

Huang Qiong was speculating wildly while waiting for Jia Quan's return. It's just that Jia Quan went, but he didn't return until Chenshi. Hearing Li Hai talk about it, Huang Qiong had been waiting for him to eat together, Jia Quan couldn't take a break, and hurriedly came to Huang Qiong's study. Seeing that Huang Qiong was really waiting for him, Jia Quan hurriedly said: "Lord Wang, Quan is late, and I ask Lord Wang to forgive me." ”

Regarding Jia Quan's pleading, Huang Qiong smiled slightly and signaled Li Hai to bring the dinner immediately, then waved his hand and said, "It's okay, I know you have something to do." Wait a little longer, it's not a big deal. We haven't eaten together since you entered the house. It's better to choose a day than to hit the day, just to dine with me today. ”

Hearing Huang Qiong's words, Rao is Jia Quan, who has always been proud of his quick wit, really couldn't understand what kind of thoughts this young prince had, not only was he waiting for himself to be so late, but he actually let himself accompany him to dinner. However, since Huang Qiong said it, Jia Quan can only be respectful and obey his fate.

It wasn't until Li Hai, who was quick with his hands and feet, arranged a few small dishes that were not sumptuous, but they were also exquisite, that Jia Quan knew that Huang Qiong really wanted to invite him to dinner. After waving his hand to signal Li Hai to withdraw, Huang Qiong personally held the pot and poured a cup for Jia Quan, and only said after the good wine in Shuzhong brought by King Yong the previous time: "I'm not good at drinking, Mr. pours himself to drink." ”

Seeing Huang Qiong's actions like this, Jia Quan was even more confused by the second monk. However, Huang Qiong didn't say anything, but Jia Quan hesitated for a moment and said: "Lord Wang, your matter, King Yong has already agreed and ordered. He promised that as long as the person was still in Beijing, he would send it to you within three days. It's just that Song Zhizhao's words and his identity, do you really believe it? ”

Jia Quan's words made Huang Qiong, who was gently chewing a piece of mutton, smile slightly, and only said after the mutton was in his mouth: "It doesn't matter if you believe it or not, it can't be fake, it can't be fake." Mr. has been out for so long, shouldn't he have investigated and understood? ”

Huang Qiong's words fell, and Jia Quan, who was drinking, couldn't help but be stunned, and he didn't know that the wine in his mouth slipped down from his mouth. He didn't expect that what he had done after going for so long would be judged clearly by Huang Qiong. was guessed what he thought, Jia Quan was somewhat embarrassed.

Looking at Jia Quan, who was a little embarrassed, Huang Qiong used chopsticks to clip a piece of braised fish fillet to Jia Quan before saying, "Say, how is the investigation?" I'm not talking about this case, your friends don't have that much ability, and they can find out about this matter only in the capital. What am I talking about, you should know in your heart, weren't you hesitating at the time? ”

Jia Quan, who was exposed by Huang Qiong, calmed down at this time, poured the wine in the wine glass in his hand into his mouth, and wiped the residual wine from the corner of his mouth before saying: "What the prince said is right, after Quan came out of the Yongwang Mansion, he did go to an old friend of the Criminal Department to investigate whether this Song Zhizhao's words are true." ”

"He didn't lie about some things, Song Gongliang, the governor of Suzhou and the herdsmen of Suzhou, was indeed involved in privately selling war horses to party members, and was ordered by the emperor to enter Beijing from Ganzhou Mansion. But the emperor did not let his whole family be arrested, but only asked him to be taken into Beijing for questioning. And whether he is guilty or not, has not been tried by the three divisions, and the emperor has not yet decided the case, let alone the nine clans. ”

In other words, the emperor only ordered someone to bring him into Beijing, but his family was not involved at all. His family, how to get to Chang'an, no one can say now. However, Song Gongliang's suicide in Chang'an is indeed true. As for his wife, after his death, she jumped ship on the Yellow River and died. ”

"After Song Gongliang committed suicide, I don't know why, someone from the Criminal Department and Yushitai suddenly broke the line, saying that he committed suicide in fear of crime. If there is no ghost in his heart, he has already walked all the way, but why did he suddenly commit suicide when he was about to arrive at Jingzhao Mansion and could avenge his grievances? can only feel guilty and shameless to face the monarch's father. ”

After receiving the twist, the emperor did not deal with it himself, but forwarded it to the prince and asked the prince to deal with the matter. The crown prince convicted him without any interrogation or investigation. Although he is dead, the death penalty can be avoided, and the living crime cannot be escaped, and the women in the family have not joined the sect department, and all the men have been sold into slavery by the government. ”

"Originally, in the disposition of the prince's decision, there was also the killing of his corpse. But when it was reported to the emperor, it was denied by the emperor. The emperor meant that this was the end of the matter, and he would not pursue the crimes of the family members. But the crown prince insisted on selling his family officials into slavery to warn the officials of the world. In the end, the emperor didn't know what his intentions were, and finally agreed to the prince's disposition. ”

"However, the old friend of Kwon in the criminal department told me that he felt that the case was not as simple as it seemed. He and Song Gongliang were Jinshi in the same year, and later they were both sent to the household department to observe the government, and they knew this person very well. This person is cautious in life, and he is fair in dealing with people, and he has always been honest as an official. ”

"After this person was corrected in the Ministry of Households, in addition to being released as a tea and horse envoy, he has been serving in the Ministry of Households and the Department of Transport. Because of his many years of experience in the household department and various transfer departments, he can be said to be one of the few financial experts in our dynasty. Before he was transferred to the Suzhou Qun Pastoral Supervisor and served as the governor of the capital the year before last, the performance evaluation had always been first-class. ”

"Although my old friend didn't know, King Rui had sent someone to look for him before the incident. But he also talked about Quan, Song Gongliang is definitely not the kind of official who makes money by unscrupulous means. He dared to use his head to vouch for it, let alone sell horses privately to party members, even to sell horses to those mainland horse dealers, and he would never do it. ”

It's just that although he thinks that Song Gongliang was framed, he still can't figure out who wants to frame him. Song Gongliang is quite cautious as an official, and he will never grudge with others. Although he has been working in the Transit Department for many years, he has always been innocent in terms of money and food. ”

"And the place where the rabbits don't poop in the place where he is working now, although the grade is very high, it is definitely a place where there is not much oil and water. is so poor that no one will care about him, but in fact, there is not much real power. Even the local officials in Longyou, who served in Suzhou and Ganzhou, tried their best to transfer them out. But it can still be falsely accused, which is really incomprehensible. ”
