Zhao Junchen sat in the study, reviewing the excerpts of the household, but he was a little absent-minded and slow. (The fastest update speed is on the Aishang Novel Network biquge.info)
After a long time, the door of the study was pushed open, and Xu Qingyan came to Zhao Junchen.
"How?"
Zhao Junchen raised his head and asked.
A trace of regret flashed in Xu Qingyan's expression, and said: "Fang Ru was saved, according to the young master's method, after pouring pancreatic water into her, most of the poisonous wine she drank vomited out, and after the doctor diagnosed her, he also said that she would be fine as long as she recuperated for a while." ”
Seeing that Zhao Junchen nodded silently, Xu Qingyan couldn't help but ask, "Young Master, let's just let her go?" ”
After knowing that Fang Ru was fine, Zhao Junchen began to continue to flip through the folds of the household, and said casually: "Hostility is a hidden danger, and she is no longer a hidden danger now, in this case, why should I kill her?" ”
Xu Qingyan was a little unwilling, and muttered: "Who knows if she is acting or not, young master, don't be deceived by her." ”
"No, it won't." After Zhao Junchen sighed lightly, he explained: "People are about to die, and their words are also good. The reason why I let her drink that cup of poisoned wine was to see her sincerity, and at that time, she didn't have to hide anything, let alone lie anymore. However, just in case, you still let people stare at her next, but you have to be more hidden in the future, so as not to be discovered by her again. ”
Hearing Zhao Junchen say this, Xu Qingyan's expression became embarrassed, why did Fang Ru have doubts, before and after, Zhao Junchen had already told him.
Seeing Xu Qingyan like this, Zhao Junchen subconsciously shook his head.
People who are too smart always have restless ambitions, Zhao Junchen is not at ease, but people who are at ease, such as Xu Qingyan, are often not smart enough. And people who have both brains and loyalty, there is no one in thousands of miles, and it is always difficult to find, at least, so far Zhao Junchen has not been able to meet.
In a way, this situation is now a bottleneck for Zhao Junchen, and sometimes there are some things that Zhao Junchen doesn't have anyone to discuss, so he can only bear it alone.
Jiang Qian knows the roots, and he is also promoted by Zhao Junchen, but his ability is limited to financial management and accounting.
Xiao Shancai is a genius in eating, drinking, and seducing people's hearts, but that's all.
As for others, like Zuo Lanshan, Zhan Shanchang, Tong Huan, Chen Dongxiang, Li Lide, Gu Quan and others, they do not lack wisdom and ability, but they also do not lack ambition and selfishness, since they were able to betray Wen Guanliang and join Zhao Junchen for the sake of all interests, they will naturally betray Zhao Junchen for more interests in the future and switch to others, Zhao Junchen is even more uneasy, there are many things, Zhao Junchen does not even dare to let them know.
If you want to say that she is smart and loyal, the most qualified person is Fang Ru, but unfortunately Fang Ru is only a concubine after all, not to mention useless, and even today, Zhao Junchen has always been a little estranged from her.
"It's hard to find talent......"
Zhao Junchen muttered to himself.
Suddenly, Zhao Junchen thought of the Liu Zimin he saw today.
It's not that this Liu Zimin is a talent in Zhao Junchen's eyes, but through guò Liu Zimin, Zhao Junchen thought of the spring exam in March next year.
"Or, spring ......"
Zhao Junchen's eyes narrowed slightly, thoughtfully.
On the other side, after Xu Qingyan was embarrassed for a long time, he suddenly remembered something and asked, "Young Master, since you don't kill Fang Ru, what about Wei Ping's affairs?" Poisoning court officials is not a trivial matter. ”
Zhao Junchen didn't care about it, and said lightly: "Poisoning the officials of the imperial court is certainly a major event, it is related to the face of the imperial court, and the country is stable, even if it will not shake the government and the opposition, it will inevitably alarm the saints, and it is indeed difficult to do." However, if in the end it is just a misunderstanding, not poisoning but suicide, then the matter will be easily resolved. ”
Hearing Zhao Junchen say this, a puzzled look flashed on Xu Qingyan's face.
At this moment, the voices of the Zhao Mansion sounded outside the door.
"Master, Li Lide, the squire of the Criminal Department, and Yu Shi Gu Quan, the right deputy of the Inspectorate, ask to see them."
......... "Today, you already know about Wei Ping's poisoning and death outside my mansion in the middle of Shuntian Mansion, right?" ”
After Li Lide and Gu Quan came to the study, they had just sat down, and Zhao Junchen had already asked.
Hearing Zhao Junchen's inquiry, Li Lide and Gu Quan glanced at each other, and Li Lide spoke: "Lord Hui, this Wei Ping is a court official after all, and the poisoning is not trivial. ”
Gu Quan looked at Zhao Junchen's expression, and said: "Yes, my lord, this matter is very important, and all factions in the DPRK and China are concerned, and this Wei Ping is dead, but he died not in the place, but he died outside the adult's mansion, if there is a villain who deliberately uses this matter to embarrass in the future, it will be difficult to do." ”
Zhao Junchen nodded and said slowly: "Yes, the death of a court official by poisoning, this is a major event, the government and the opposition are concerned, and there are many rumors, which is inevitable." However, according to this official, this Wei Ping may not have been poisoned, or he may have committed suicide by taking poison in fear of crime. ”
Hearing Zhao Junchen say this, Li Lide and Gu Quan were both stunned, and their faces were puzzled.
Gu Quan asked, "Why do adults have such conjectures?" ”
Zhao Junchen glanced at Gu Quan, smiled lightly, and said: "Lord Gu, why do you ask knowingly, that Wei Ping is just a small Shuntian Mansion, but he has always lived a luxurious life and spent extravagantly, Lord Gu, you are the right deputy of the Imperial Palace, and you have always been upright, and you can't look down on corrupt officials and corrupt officials the most, and if you see any suspicions, you will naturally investigate in detail, and recently it has been found out that this Wei Ping has embezzled and accepted bribes, and now he is collecting evidence and preparing to impeach him in front of His Majesty." ”
Hearing Zhao Junchen say this, Gu Quan was stunned again.
Gu Quan knows very well that these days, he has been busy competing with the prince's party in the Metropolitan Procuratorate, where does he have the time and energy to find out whether a small person like Wei Ping is corrupt and bribery?
On the contrary, it was Li Lide, after all, he was on an errand in the Criminal Department, but his brain was faster, after hearing Zhao Junchen say this, he nodded again and again, and said with a sudden face: "I see, if Wei Ping is caught by Master Gu and is already cornered, then there will be a motive for suicide." ”
Glancing at Li Lide with appreciation, Zhao Junchen continued: "Actually, for these, the official is not very clear, who would have thought that Wei Ping, after being cornered, actually asked to see the official today, wanted to go through the way of the official, and begged the official to protect him, but how could the official protect Wei Ping's corrupt official?" I refused right now. I didn't expect that after Wei Ping had no hope, he would be so unsightly, and just after leaving the official mansion, he took poison and committed suicide, which is really sad and lamentable......"
As he spoke, Zhao Junchen sighed deeply.
Speaking of this, Gu Quan also reacted, with a sudden look in his eyes, and then nodded: "That's true, Xia Guan never thought that the investigation of him these days would force him to death, but Wei Ping has been corrupt and bribed all these years, bringing disaster to the country and the people, and it is not a pity to die, so taking poison and committing suicide like this is cheaper for him!" ”
After a pause, Gu Quan assured again: "Please rest assured, the relevant excerpt evidence, the lower official will definitely prepare it before the early dynasty." ”
Zhao Junchen smiled and nodded, looked at Li Lide again, and asked, "Lord Li, Wei Ping's case, but are the people from the six doors investigating it together?" ”
Li Lide nodded and said: "The death of a court official by poisoning is a major event, according to the rules, it is the six doors that work together to investigate." ”
In ancient times, the so-called six doors did not refer to a specific yamen, but the collective name of the yamen of the three legal divisions, and in the Ming and Qing dynasties, it was the collective name of the three major review institutions of the Criminal Department, Dali Temple and the Metropolitan Procuratorate.
Among them, based on the Criminal Department, the arrests and arrests that are being investigated outside Zhao Junchen's Mansion today are also from the Yamen of the Criminal Department.
Zhao Junchen nodded, and with a wave of his hand, Xu Qingyan, who was waiting beside him, held the handkerchief he had just prepared in front of Li Lide.
"Master Li, that's right." Seeing Li Lide looking at the handkerchief with a puzzled face, Xu Qingyan explained softly: "After Wei Ping left our Zhao Mansion today, someone in the mansion saw him with a look of despair, and took out this handkerchief from his arms. Later, Wei Ping was poisoned and died, and this handkerchief was picked up by my Zhao Mansion, but the yellow particles on this handkerchief looked like arsenic, thinking that this might be an important evidence, then the next person handed it over to my family, and now it is handed over to you, and I ask Lord Li to see if there is any use. ”
After pondering for a moment, Li Lide asked, "I see, can those subordinates in your mansion go to the Criminal Department to report the case overnight tonight and make a confession?" ”
Without waiting for Xu Qingyan to speak, Zhao Junchen already nodded and said: "Naturally, as an official of the imperial court, this official should cooperate with the Criminal Department and contribute to this case." ”
Li Lide said with a smile: "In this case, there are all human and material evidence, and there are Lord Zhao and Lord Gu as circumstantial evidence, when His Majesty asks tomorrow, then Wei Ping will undoubtedly commit suicide." ”
Gu Quan nodded again and again and said, "Yes, yes!" Now it seems that Wei Ping must have committed suicide by taking poison in fear of sin, and tomorrow after Lord Li reports to His Majesty, these rumors today should also end. ”
……… In this way, between the three of them, Wei Ping was poisoned, and he was already characterized as committing suicide by taking poison in fear of crime.
Of course, he was not a good person during his lifetime.
After sending Gu Quan and Li Lide away, Zhao Junchen returned to the study, looked at Xu Qingyan's admiration, smiled lightly, and then his face became much stricter, and asked softly: "How is Zhang Daoquan's Tongji Temple developing in the capital now?" ”
I don't know why Zhao Junchen asked about this, but Xu Qingyan still replied: "It's not bad, with the methods you taught him, young master, Tongji Temple has now developed a lot of believers in the capital, and it has gradually gained some influence." ”
Zhao Junchen nodded, and asked again: "He is able to develop believers in the officialdom?" Are there any of his followers in the Yamen of Shuntianfu? ”
At the beginning, while Zhao Junchen supported Zhang Daoquan to come to the capital for development, he also handed him a list of officials, and asked Zhang Daoquan to do his best to develop the officials on the list into believers, and although most of these officials are not of high rank and power, they are just grassroots officials in the yamen of the capital, but their positions are critical, and they can't be hidden from them by any trouble.
Xu Qingyan replied: "It's not very smooth, but there are some believers in the officialdom, among which there are more in the Shuntian Mansion." ”
Zhao Junchen said coldly: "Since this is the case, let Zhang Daoquan know those believers and find a way to find out about Wei Ping's actions these days, I always feel that Wei Ping's actions this time are not so simple!" ”。
