Chapter 4 Calling Yangzhou Merchants to Write Evidence in Court at Night I
Guan Ming knelt down with a thud, and Lan Wan's face froze.
"The man has gold under his knees, but the official said it in front of the princess today, since the princess is interested, the official is not worthy, and the princess is invited to ...... three or four"
"Smack!"
A loud slap was slapped out by Lan Wan, and her blushing little face was full of grievances.
But he subconsciously shouted: "Presumptuous! Who said Princess Ben likes you! ”
Just leave.
Guan Ming was deflated, and he didn't figure it out all night, and sure enough, a woman's heart was a needle under the sea.
I didn't see Lan Wan's official voice for the next week, and my heart was really a little empty.
However, Lan Xiu, who ran to him twice in three days, often mentioned Lan Wan's affairs.
The big exam is coming, Guan Ming is well prepared, he played quite well in the examination room, and he was really high school when the results were announced.
It has been a month since he entered the palace and was sealed, and he was divided into Yangzhou official mansions.
When I saw Lan Wan again, the girl had changed a lot.
At the ceremony, Lan Wan made a request to ask the emperor to marry the official in front of everyone, which shocked the Bai Dynasty's civil and military forces.
A high school list flower from a civilian background is simply a toad looking at swan meat!
But the emperor looked at Lan Wan with a serious face, smiled secretly, and seemed to be very satisfied with the dark emperor he had cultivated, and immediately agreed to give marriage, which surprised everyone again.
Even if the princess marries, she must follow the rules of the wife and husband.
Guan Ming, who got a cheap big baby in white, was stunned and didn't close his eyes for a few days and nights.
Although the scenery of Yangzhou is beautiful, the conditions do not have to be royal after all.
On the one hand, she felt sorry for Lan Wan, and on the other hand, she was worried about the three fires of the new official.
Fortunately, Lan Wan is smart and can often give him ideas at critical moments, which makes Guan Ming establish a good image as soon as he takes office.
It's just that the relieved days didn't last a few days, and the She family at this end of Yangzhou had a case.
It's about 3 o'clock (about 10 p.m.)
The two of them were sleeping in the house, and a small maid knocked on the door outside, waking up Guan Ming, saying that everyone in his master's study had arrived, and he asked the eldest son to come over.
After Guan Ming responded, he hurriedly got up and dressed, getting dressed in the dark was naturally slow and chaotic, Lan Wan saw this, turned over and got out of bed, and helped him who was blind to sort out his clothes, when Guan Ming was stunned, Lan Wan bent over his waist and groped to help him tie his belt, and patted him a few times.
"Well, that's it! It's good to go! ”
After she finished speaking, she crawled back into bed.
The official in the dark night had red ears, stood in place for a while, and slowly came back to his senses.
"Huh? No wonder! I said, "Why aren't you afraid of your clothes having pleats!" You're going to go back to sleep. ”
Lan Wan replied to him slowly: "Hmm......
Aren't you coming back in a moment? What do you envy. ”
"Who is envious!" Guan Ming seemed to have forgotten to call the little maid directly to come in, and the house would be bright without lighting, so he cautiously arrived at the door.
"Squeak ......"
"Bang dang!"
The door opens and closes,
There were still two people in the house.
"Your Highness, I've been waiting for you for a long time."
"How? Will it be dangerous to make the proud phoenix wait so long? ”
"Huh! If it was His Royal Highness Long Yuan, maybe he would, but now that it was His Royal Highness Lan Wan, Lan Xiu naturally didn't dare. ”
"Say it! What did you find again? ”
Lan Xiu: "The rest of his life is indeed a survivor of the She family, his real name is She Jinyao, before the accident in his family, he studied medicine in Yunshu Medical Immortals, after the accident, he hurried back to Yangzhou River, and slowly toured the rest of his family and sent them to Yunshu.
But the destruction of the She family was assassinated by the government, and a large part of the reason why the She family came to this point is closely related to the provocation of the third official Nanhu. ”
"Huh! Sure enough, it's not what he said, you can elaborate on it. ”
Lan Xiu "Guan Nanhu has always coveted the skills of the She family for a long time, and has repeatedly talked with him about cultivating more talents in order to produce a large number of utensils. ”
Lan Wan "The She family naturally won't agree, so he wants to merge the She family's property through the government's suppression, and the She family is not just because of the 150,000 taels, there is a greater shortage of funds." ”
Lan Xiu: "Yes, the She family has been losing money since two years ago, even if every artifact is very expensive, but it still can't pay. After the defeat of the She family, the government was afraid that someone would jump over the wall in a hurry, so they secretly murdered some people of the She family, and before they could be killed, the people disappeared. In fact, he was sent away by She Jinyao. ”
Lan Wan then continued,
"Now that he is the official tiger who raises tigers, the people of the government have tasted the sweetness, and they have begun to learn to do all kinds of fake public and private things, and their courage and ambition are getting bigger and bigger.
Lan Xiu: "Hehe! Since Your Highness has guessed everything, what else is the matter with me? ”
In the dark room, Lan Xiu's shadow could not be seen, only his pleasant voice could be heard.
"Huh...... Naturally I need you, why should I be over there? ”
Lan Xiu: "After he woke up, his subordinates created a prison escape for him, and after he came out, he still went straight to the official gold store that appeared at the same time as Na Yuxi, without communicating with anyone, entered a room, rummaged around, and went out of the gold shop and went to Babaolou.
You were there at the time, and I was afraid that he would ruin your business, so I deliberately showed his horse's feet and scared him away, and now there are no new clues in his line, and someone else is following. ”
Lan Wan: "What about the trail of the rest of your life?" Got it? ”
Lan Xiu: "It's still investigating, but the clues are strange, even if it's not in Yangzhou, it's still in the official's house, Yang Ming's subordinates went to search, and there is no such person." ”
Lan Wan: "How do you decide?" ”
Lan Xiu: "Two years ago, the official son's policy was about taxation, but now this matter, although the main focus is on the loopholes in the criminal law, but in fact it is still to catch corruption, if he is not deliberately guiding us, it is someone who is using him to pave the way for him." ”
The implication is that you may know Guan Ming for the rest of your life.
Lan Wan: "Well, what a clever subordinate! Got it, thank you, good night. ”
After that, I had to get back into the quilt.
"Uh...... Hehe! Good night, Your Highness, isn't Your Highness going to see the official son? It looks like someone has gotten in. ”
Lan Xiu kindly reminded.
"Alas! It's really troublesome, how fast it is to kill it all directly. ”
Lan Wan paused when she was about to lie back on the quilt, raised her hand and rubbed her eyes,
"Yuxi put it in? Did anyone find out who he was? ”
Lan Xiu: "There are not enough people to bring this time, although someone follows up, but there is no time to check him, and there is nothing to find in the capital." ”
"Okay, got it! Go back, I'll take a look. ”
She really doesn't understand whether Guan Ming wants to do something, or Yuxi wants to do something.
"The subordinates retired."
It was dark at night, Lan Wan didn't pick up the lamp, went out of the door, and flew straight to the study of the third master's house, she was not afraid that she would not be able to see the road clearly in the dark.
In the study of the third master
At this time
Guan Ming was sitting in the main seat of the study, sipping the strong tea in his hand.
And after listening to Guan Ming's touching words in the room, among the businessmen who planned to obediently write a pen, someone suddenly came to say,
"Eh, now the eldest son of this official family is really unusual, he has been able to avenge our grievances and punish corrupt officials, and I don't know how long it will take for the place where we give gifts to be directly replaced by the government, which can be regarded as fertile water not flowing into the fields of outsiders! You said no? The third official? ”
"Uh...... Hehe, Jiang Yuanwai's words are not right, we are both businessmen, how can there be a reason to accept bribes from each other, and prepare gifts for each other, just to communicate feelings and talk about feelings. ”
"Haha! Joke......
Businessmen talk about each other?
The third official ......
Do you know how many people you have hurt who dare not speak out!
Now that you have an official son in the court to support you, I am afraid that it will be even more lawless in the future!
Ladies and gentlemen! If we believe in his official family today, tomorrow we will just get out of the wolf's den and enter the tiger's mouth! The days to come will be even more impossible! Don't take their word for it! ”
"That's right! How do you make sure you don't oppress us? ”
"That's right! How can the eldest prince guarantee that he will not ask us for silver taels? ”
"Yes!"
"Yes!"
For a while, the scene in the study was back to the scene of the chaos just now.
Guan Ming put the teacup on the table, "Bell! ”
Everyone who was arguing in the study heard the sound clearly.
"Ladies and gentlemen, what the official said just now was in vain, right?
This official is to investigate the unjust, false and wrongful cases as a member of the imperial court, and the criminal law has omitted evidence, and now everyone in Yangzhou City regards the law and things, the rich people bribe wantonly, and the powerful people boldly accept bribes, who will guarantee that there will be no second She family in the long run? ”
"The She family? Scold! The eldest prince......
Are your officials embarrassed to mention the She family? They can have today, not all thanks to your official family! ”
As soon as these words came out, he really choked the official Ming, and looked at the person carefully: "Jiang Yuanwai, right, what do you mean by this?" ”
Guan Ming raised his eyes and looked at the fat old man who stood up angrily over there, the hand in his sleeve was bent unnaturally, and before the man could answer, the door of the study was "Bang!" "Someone pushed him away.
……
The original spacious study, at this time, because of the large number of people, it seems a little small, the person who came is a young man with a long figure, a handsome face, a cold temperament, and a gold-inlaid dragon sword in his hand, the light in the study does not enter the eyes of this person, which makes people panic.
Lan Wan came in from outside the door, walked in front of Jiang Yuanwai without hurrying, kicked him to the ground, stepped on his back, and the cold voice sounded faintly,
"I just heard from my family that you are a Jiang Yuanwai, right? What is your relationship with Jiang Qing? What kind of business do you do? ”
"You, who are you?"
"Ahh Yes! ”
Jiang Yuanwai on the ground looked at Lan Wan in horror like everyone else in the room at this moment, and he realized more deeply than them that this person poked the sword in his hand into the popliteal socket of his left leg, and his body trembled in pain.
"I'm asking you!"
Lan Wan squatted down at this time, one arm was on the knee of the leg of Jiang Yuan's outer back, and the other hand continued to press down the dragon-patterned sword that poked Jiang Yuan's outer popliteal fossa.
"Ahh Yes! Son! Childe raised his noble hand, I, I am a salt merchant, Jiang Qing is my brother, Childe can pick up the sword now, right? ”
