Chapter 56: This is the case?
In the imperial city, Yu Zhiqian stood below and reported the latest progress to his cheap father.
"There is no progress in the imperial examination fraud case for the time being, but there is already a general direction, but the case of Uncle Eight Princes is a little complicated, Uncle Eight Princes' mansion has dug up dragon robes and fake jade seals, but they are all newly dug up!"
"Father, the son suspects that someone is framing Uncle Eight Wang, or that Uncle Eight Wang is just a smoke bomb thrown by him, and after the matter is revealed, he will point the finger at Uncle Eight Wang......"
"Erchen thought about it for a while, to be able to threaten the king of Nanyue, it should be the ...... near the fief near Nanyue"
Erchen sent someone to follow the crowd of onlookers around Qingwang's Mansion, and found that they had settled in Daxingfang, and now they were preparing to send someone to ......
After listening to this, the emperor slowly put down the file in his hand: "You don't have to worry about this case, continue to investigate the fraud case in the imperial examination, and retreat!" ”
Yu Zhiqian glanced at his father, and felt that his father had suddenly aged a lot, so he lowered his head and replied: "Oh! ”
On the third day, Yu Zhiqian heard some news, the eighth uncle was ordered to return to the fiefdom, and he was not allowed to enter Beijing without a summons, in addition, Yu Bo, the eldest son of the fifth prince uncle Chu Wang, died of sudden illness, and there were also a large number of personnel transfers among the officials of the Ministry of Rites, as for the envoys of South Vietnam, no one remembered them for a long time.
Yu Zhiqian sat at home, playing mahjong and listening to Zhang Xiaojing's report, his mind kept turning, this case was done by Uncle Wuwang? Yu Zhiqian didn't have much feeling for Uncle Wuwang, and he didn't even have an impression of himself, but the sudden death of his eldest son was really a bit of a surprise.
However, Yu Zhiqian's intuition told him that things were not so simple, and there would definitely be problems in the future, but his father didn't want to know some things, so he didn't let himself investigate the case.
"Wan San! How is mahjong sold, 70,000! ”
"Your Highness, more than 100 pieces have been sold, but imitations have appeared in the East Market, the price is low, a mahjong is only two or three silver, I heard that there are also mahjong made of some broken stones, do you want to send someone to seize those merchants!"
Shen Wansan was waiting for Yu Zhiqian on the side, and replied in a low voice.
"That's not necessary, just let them sell, we make high-end products, high-end products you know? With the addition of East Palace products on the package, does anyone dare to imitate East Palace? We sell brands, do brands understand? Let Zhu Youxiao prepare a batch of jade and make a batch of jade mahjong! ”
"Whoa!"
"Zhang Xiaojing, where is the pair of words that I sold before?"
Yu Zhiqian's private seal found in the Qingwang Mansion before, there are some things in it, which were learned according to his prince's seal, and even the two private people engraved in simplified characters in the middle are engraved, unless there are other traversers, otherwise there can be no such coincidence.
"It's been checked! was bought by a wealthy merchant in Daxingfang, and the long-haired guy sold it for 30,000 taels! ”
"Huh? I remember that He Shen also lived in Daxingfang! ”
"Yes!"
"Your Highness, I also found that the official residence of He Shen and the squire and the mansion of the rich merchant do not seem to be adjacent, but they are connected in the middle.
"Is that so? Did the rich businessman check the bottom line? ”
"I checked some of it, and there was not much useful information, I only knew that it was Lingnan goods, mainly dealing in some spices and some gemstones, but the rich merchant himself was very mysterious, and no one had seen it!"
"In this way, this is really well hidden with the waiter, take someone to invite the waiter to drink tea!" After Yu Zhiqian finished speaking, he took it out of his pocket for a long time, and finally took out a token and handed it over.
"Whoa!"
When He Shen was brought into the East Palace, he still had a smile on his face, his round head and a rather friendly voice, like Wang Gang, his small eyes narrowed into a slit, his eyes rolled around, and after seeing Yu Zhiqian, he saluted respectfully: "His Royal Highness the Prince!" ”
"Well, here it is, with the squire!"
"I'm here, I don't know if His Highness is looking for an official?"
Yu Zhiqian stretched a lazy waist, recently a little wasted, after his cheap father didn't let him investigate the case, he played mahjong every day, as for the case of fraud in the imperial examination, the evidence was directly sent to his hands, Jin Yiwei did his best to investigate, don't think about it, it must be his father's instructions, and the final result Yu Zhiqian just wants to say, sometimes, you don't necessarily make a mistake, but someone wants you to make a mistake, so you make a mistake!
Is it hard to understand? It means that you are on the wrong side, it's as simple as that, sometimes the truth really doesn't matter, it's an important matter of attitude.
"And the waiter, I don't want to be tortured, everyone is a decent person, right, how much was corrupted by the imperial examination fraud this time, and how much benefit has been received over the years, give a number, I can explain, what about you, suffer less! What do you think? ”
He Shen knelt down directly: "His Royal Highness the Prince, the lower officials have been wronged, the lower officials have been conscientious since they joined the office, and they have never been greedy for ink!" ”
"Oh, is it? I also want to believe that you are a Qing official, I almost believed it when I first checked you, if I hadn't sent someone to your hometown to check, and Bancheng, how majestic! You are a very bold person, you dare to take any money, you take it, you still keep accounts, what do you think this is? ”
After Yu Zhiqian finished speaking, he took out an account book and threw it directly in front of He Shen: "Take a look!" ”
"Your Highness, this is not Wechen's, Wechen's account book ......"
"Oh, it's not yours, where's your ledger?"
"Wechen does have an account book, which records Wechen's daily expenses, and it is in Wechen's house, Wechen can go and get it!"
"It's yours! Okay, take it with you! ”
After Yu Zhiqian finished speaking, he waved his hand and motioned to take He Shen down, as for this account book, it was given to Yu Zhiqian by Jinyiwei, it really doesn't matter if it's fake, it's okay if someone wants him to be real.
"Your Highness, do you think it's him?" Zhang Zhan looked at He Shen, who was shouting loudly, and asked curiously.
"It's not him, it can only be him, as for who it is, check it slowly, now he needs to come out and take the blame, who made him a Lingnan native, and accepted someone's sponsorship back then? Now if someone makes a mistake, he's going to be unlucky! ”
Hearing Yu Zhiqian's words, Zhang Zhan instantly understood, nodded, and retreated.
"Your Highness, the banana you bought has arrived!"
"Got the rubber?"
Yu Zhiqian immediately became excited, after mahjong provided Yu Zhiqian with enough funds, Yu Zhiqian's mind began to be active, and the soul of his own invention and creation could not bear it, not to mention the invention of cars, at least bicycles, tricycles or something first!
"Let's go, take me to see it!"
Soon Yu Zhiqian followed Shen Wansan to the front yard, Yu Zhiqian stared at the rubber in front of him, this special thing was not the rubber that Yu Zhiqian wanted, but the banana, the kind of banana he ate.
"If only the rubber wasn't a banana!"
"Your Highness, this is a banana!"
"I'm not talking about this banana, yes, forget it, don't play word games, I'll write it to you!"
Yu Zhiqian found that sometimes the culture of Chinese characters is broad and profound, but sometimes, the broad and profound culture is also troubled.
"Your Highness, what about these bananas, these bananas are worth a lot of money, and they cost a lot of money when they were bought!"
"How much!"
"Three hundred taels!"
“……”
Yu Zhiqian looked at these bananas that were about to rot, and wanted to cry without tears, bananas in this era want to be transported from Lingnan, it takes great hardship, most of the bananas are green when they start to be transported, and when they arrive in Chang'an, they are already ripe, and they will rot after two more days!
"Send a batch to the palace, and then the seventh one is a little looser, by the way, the second, the third, and the rest of the brothers will send a little at home, leave some in the palace, by the way, send some to the princess too!" What has the crown princess been doing lately! ”
"Your Highness, it seems that the crown princess is losing weight!"
"Let it be!"
Yu Zhiqian returned to his study without love, and looked at a bicycle frame in the room, which Yu Zhiqian found someone to do, that is, to make a frame, and the core accessories, such as the chain, are still looking for someone to rush to work.
"In the case of chains, can you use belts instead, or iron bars, and if you don't have bananas, can you make a solid tire out of pigskin?"
Yu Zhiqian stared at the bicycle and fell into contemplation, the reason why Yu Zhiqian was ready to study the bicycle was entirely because Yu Zhiqian found a huge business opportunity, that is, the ancient people's travel tools were too simple!
Rich people go out by riding horses, poor people go out by walking, generally a little rich family, can not afford to raise horses, after all, buying horses, forage what is too expensive, can only leg, this is a huge business opportunity, there is a demand, after research, sold, is a large amount of input, with money, you can ......
Thinking of his life in the future, Yu Zhiqian suddenly thought of a problem, that is, there seems to be a woman locked up in his East Palace, to be precise, a woman who was caught from Fengyue Xiaozhu.
"Zhang Xiaojing, what will happen if you say I open a green building?"
"Your Highness, I think that if your Qinglou is opened, Commander Jing will let people smash it!"
"He dares!"
“……”
Okay, Jing Ke must dare, his father asked him to do it, but then there was another question in front of Yu Zhiqian, Yu Zhiqian stared at Zhang Xiaojing: "The imperial examination fraud case should be concluded tomorrow, you have also seen it, my father has already characterized this case, whether it was He Shen or not, now it must be him who did it, what about you, what are your plans?" ”
"Your Highness, I was originally a death row inmate, and I am already very happy to be able to live freely outside this month, and I have nothing else to ask for!"
"Are you sure?"
"Words from the bottom of my heart!"
Yu Zhiqian nodded: "I was still thinking about it just now, is there any way to protect you, it seems that I have thought too much!" ”
After hearing Yu Zhiqian's words, Zhang Xiaojing's face changed in seconds: "Your Highness, do you mean that you can protect me from dying?" ”
"I had this idea before, but now ......?"
"Your Highness, Weichen wants to live!"
"You just said you had nothing more to ask for!"
Zhang Xiaojing held back for a long time and said: "Your Highness, who wants to die if you can live!" ”
"Well, too, be honest with me, don't pretend to be forced, do you want to die or live!"
"I want to live!"
"Got it, I'll try!"
Yu Zhiqian let out a long sigh, if you want to live, it's really a bit difficult, a heinous crime!
"By the way, Zhang Xiaojing, tell me, why did you kill your Shangguan!"
"Your Highness, this is a long story, the county lieutenant of Wannian County ......"
"I see, I'll figure it out!"
After Yu Zhiqian finished speaking, he asked Zhang Xiaojing to step down, although Zhang Xiaojing's motive is forgivable, in ancient times, filial piety came first, and the hatred of killing his father was not shared, but killing Shangguan was also a great evil!
"Look at which day your dad is in a good mood, it's really not good, lose some money to him?"
Yu Zhiqian thought about it, Zhang Xiaojing is a person, Yu Zhiqian is more and more comfortable with it, although sometimes it is very pitiful, but most of the time it is better than Shen Wansan, who will only lose money, as for Zhang Zhan, everything is good, but he is a little clean, doing things is like squeezing toothpaste, saying a little and doing a little.
"Hey, talent is rare!"
With his eyes fixed on the ceiling, Yu Zhiqian's mind began to think again, how to make something to kill his boring time, in ancient times, it was too boring.
