(178) Crazy men and women
"Princess Xie gave advice, and the lower officials understood." Liu Shengyi said very modestly.
"Lord Liu, if you really think that Chen's sentence is too heavy, you can ask your father to retry the case." Yun Xiangrong said.
Liu Shengyi hadn't figured out how to explain this matter to the saint, to be honest, he had no foundation in the court, and General Chen still wanted to please, not to mention that this matter was not difficult.
"The minister is afraid, Your Majesty, the minister thinks that Lord Yin Li of Jingzhao Mansion is very fair to my son's punishment, and there is no need to turn the tables, and the minister will definitely discipline his children strictly in the future." General Chen hurriedly said.
Of course, General Chen was reluctant to let his son suffer, but at this moment, it was the time to express his determination to the saint, and the rest was not important.
"Chen Aiqing, I can understand your hard work. It's not a bad thing for young people to hone more. Luo Aiqing, go on. The emperor said.
Lord Luo motioned for Zhong Jinghui to come out and talk about the matter.
walked out of a person, with a mediocre appearance, but he didn't look very old, and said: "Xiaguan Zhong Jinghui has seen Princess Rong. ”
As soon as he signed up for the word cloud and wanted to look, he knew who it was, the grandson of the Marquis of Dingyuan, because the Marquis of Dingyuan was still alive, and the Hou Mansion was not inherited by his son, so the Hou Mansion had not yet been separated, although the Hou Mansion was to be inherited by Zhong Jinghui's uncle, but the three generations of the Hou Mansion family still lived together.
"Lord Zhong, what you want to talk about Hua Lili is, right?" Yun Xiangrong said directly.
"Yes." Zhong Jinghui did not hesitate to admit directly.
"Not many people know about this matter, maybe you need to talk about it carefully." Yun Xiangrong said.
"A few months ago, Baihualou Oiran Hua Lili bid for redemption, and finally was Yang Xingkang, the eldest brother of the prince of the Fuguo Mansion, the bid was successful, causing chaos on the spot, two people were seriously injured, a few days later, Jingzhao Mansion Yin found out that Hua Lili was killed, and Yang Xingkang was sent back to his hometown, this matter became an unsolved case, I went to Jingzhao Mansion to transfer Yang Xingkang's records, Master Li said that Jingzhao Mansion did not, said that it was in the Jiumen Admiral's Mansion, I went to the Jiumen Admiral's Mansion again, and was told that this is a confidential file, can not be viewed casually, I suspect, This person was killed by Yang Xingkang, Jiang Qingchen deliberately shielded and let the person go, and there was no proof of death. Zhong Jinghui said.
Ding Renyou was in a cold sweat listening to it below, he never thought that the matter of his flat wife would not only affect his own family and the Yang family, but would actually harm Jiang Qingchen, he was really sorry.
"This is really a coincidence, although I haven't seen the records of the Jiumen Admiral's Mansion, but on the day Yang Xingkang was arrested, I happened to be in the Fuguo Mansion, and I saw the scene of the arrest, Yang Xingkang seems to have several crimes, what delay in paying the fine, what fornication with Zhu Ziguo, this is the person arrested by Jingzhao Mansion, and the specific culpability, Master Li should have a record." Yun Xiangrong said.
"Does the princess also think this is too strange?" Zhong Jinghui asked.
Yun Xiangrong suddenly had a feeling that this Zhong Jinghui was not here to question Jiang Qingchen, but really wanted to know what was going on here.
A woman's intuition is really accurate.
Zhong Jinghui is one year younger than Zhong Jingliu, the two grew up together, don't look at Zhong Jingliu as a gentleman, but he is not like this to his younger brother, since he was a child, he asked Zhong Jinghui to study hard, take the Jinshi exam, and win glory for the Hou Mansion.
In fact, Zhong Jingliu also wants to win glory for the Hou Mansion, but unfortunately it is not a material for learning.
The relationship between brothers is also not bad, this year Zhong Jingliu fell in love with the Oiran of Baihualou, Hua Lili, and was ready to redeem her, in order to make up the six thousand taels of silver for the redemption, Zhong Jingliu also borrowed one thousand taels from Zhong Jinghui.
Before borrowing money, Zhong Jingliu promised Zhong Jinghui that after helping Hua Lili redeem himself, he would not be a gentleman in the future, and would do some small business with Hua Lili. It was with this promise that Zhong Jinghui was willing to borrow the silver, but he didn't expect Zhong Jinghui to return it to him.
Something happened within two days, and Zhong Jingliu was injured. When he returned to the house to recuperate, Jingzhao Mansion couldn't find out anything, anyway, Dingyuanhou and the Ministry of Shangshu didn't want to dwell on this matter anymore, for fear of damaging the reputation of the two mansions, and this matter would be over.
A few days later, Zhong Jingliu didn't know where he got the news, saying that Hua Lili was taken by Ding Renyou of the Fuguo Mansion, and it was Ding Renyou's eldest brother Yang Xingkang who went to help Hua Lili redeem herself.
Zhong Jingliu didn't react much when he knew about it, the money was not enough, this was a hard injury.
As a result, a few days later, there was news from Jingzhao Mansion that Hua Lili's body had been found.
Zhong Jingliu was reluctant to do so now, and said in his heart that you have the money to help people redeem themselves, I have no opinion, you killed people, what's going on with you?
I asked Zhong Jinghui to help investigate, Zhong Jinghui checked, but nothing was found, so he took advantage of the strength to bring down Jiang Qingchen this time, and Zhong Jingliu also handed over the fold. Real-name reporting can be said to be very rigid.
The main thing is that Zhong Jingliu and Zhong Jinghui reached an agreement again, Zhong Jinghui found out the truth, Zhong Jingliu will listen to Zhong Jinghui in everything in the future, and he will definitely not be a dumb kid who has nothing to do.
Zhong Jingliu has such an obsession, and there are some reasons.
He and Hua Lili got along very well, Hua Lili even told Zhong Jingliu that she was actually a thin horse and married someone, Hua Lili knew that Zhong Jingliu could not marry him, and the main Hou Mansion would not agree, so the two made an appointment, and after redeeming Hua Lili, they would do some small business.
Hua Lili had also said some inexplicable things to Zhong Jingliu before, and now that she thinks about it, Zhong Jingliu feels that it is very problematic.
Hua Lili said that if someone called a high price on the day of redemption, Zhong Jingliu should not worry, he had a way to get out, and kept the six thousand taels of silver just to make the principal of the business of the two.
He also said that he had received a big business, and he could make a lot of money after he became it, so Zhong Jingliu should not be in a hurry, and after he got out, he would definitely come back to him.
Zhong Jingliu and Zhong Jinghui negotiated an agreement, because they wanted to give Hua Lili justice, and they couldn't let people die in vain.
But what prompted him to make the greatest determination was last month.
There are eight great gentlemen in the capital, the eighth Zhao Ziqi period is his single-handed, he has always been saddle before and after the horse, but he was injured in the Hou Mansion raised, although the eighth sent someone to send things, but I actually did not come to see himself.
Later, I asked others, and some people said that Zhao Ziqi was no longer the previous Zhao Ziqi, since the last time he accompanied his sister to the party in Changping Houfu, he stopped playing with everyone, and circled around Jiang Xi'an all day long.
Originally, Zhong Jingliu didn't take it seriously, thinking that when he was injured, he would clean up the stinky boy, but before he was injured, Zhao Ziqi personally came to the Dingyuan Marquis Mansion, and brought a bunch of supplements, all of which are currently the most popular in the capital, and it cost thousands of taels of silver to visually examine.
Zhao Ziqi was still so flattering to Zhong Jingliu, the boss shouted, but Zhong Jingliu felt that something was wrong.
When I asked, I found out that he integrated the Zhuangzi at home, acquired a vegetable farm in Beijing, did some fruit and vegetable business, and recently prepared to develop a new business, which is to send vegetables to the house, one-stop shopping, so he was very busy, so he had time to see Zhong Jingliu.
Zhong Jingliu felt very ashamed, the younger brother had come to the front of him, Zhao Ziqi was very generous, and said that when Zhong Jingliu recovered from his injury, the two of them would work together to make a career, of course Zhong Jingliu was willing.
Zhong Jingliu felt that he was in his twenties, he had nothing to do, and he always had to do something right to his conscience, so he talked to Zhong Jinghui about the conditions, or the matter of checking Hua Lili, Zhong Jinghui felt that there was an opportunity recently, so he agreed.
"It's true, the people involved are too wide, and they are all the famous sons in the capital, Ding Renyou, the son of the Duke of Fuguo, Zhong Jingliu of the Dingyuan Houfu, and Gu Zhirui, the son of the Shangshu Gu of the Ministry of Officials, if you want to say that it is not a design with ulterior motives, I don't believe it. There are too many coincidences. Yun Xiangrong said calmly.
Let Yun Xiangrong say this, let alone Zhong Jinghui, even the officials in the court feel that this matter should not be so simple.
"Princess Rong thinks that someone is setting up a situation in this matter?" Zhong Jingliu said.
"I don't know what the results of the investigation and interrogation of Yang Xingkang by the Jiumen Admiral's Mansion are, but I think that no matter how stupid Jiang Qingchen is, he will not make a fuss about this kind of thing that is problematic at a glance by a discerning person. The Nine Gates Admiral's Mansion does not let you see the interrogation records, it should be afraid that you will leak secrets, and those who serve in the Nine Gates Admiral's Mansion also have to sign a confidentiality agreement. Yun Xiangrong said.
"Your Majesty, can I ask a few questions to Lord Ye, the Admiral of the Nine Gates, to solve the confusion in my heart, but the minister will never ask what cannot be said." Zhong Jingliu said to the emperor,
In fact, the emperor didn't know about this, so Yun Xiangrong and Zhong Jingliu were also a little curious, so they said: "Ye Aiqing, you come to answer Zhong Jinghui's question." ”
Ye Haihua responded to the saint and stood up.
"Lord Night, I don't know what you can say, so I won't ask, you can say everything you can say, just do it." Zhong Jinghui said very frankly.
Yun Xiangrong said that this is really a person with solid eyes, and he just wants to know the truth. You may need to go back home to have an explanation, after all, Zhong Jingliu was also seriously injured.
"Back to the saint, after the investigation of Brother Jiang, Yang Xingkang was used by Zhu Ziguo's spy Hua Lili to create an incident, and the ransom to Hua Oiran that day was the beginning of the plan, because the scene was out of control at that time, the expected effect was not achieved, and there were internal contradictions, so they killed Hua Lili. Putting Yang Xingkang back to his hometown was part of the plan to catch Zhu Ziguo's spies. The case is not over so far, and there is only so much I can say. In addition, according to the investigation, at present, many mansions in the capital have hidden spies of Zhu Ziguo, and their existence is not to hurt people, but to get information, so you don't need to panic, but please take care of your study. Ye Haihua said.
Ye Haihua said this on purpose, although it was a mixed truth, but it was also to attract people's ears.
He is actually very angry, Brother Jiang has paid so much to bring you peace, and the result is good, and the internal pinch is up. Is this an opportunity for Zhu Ziguo's spies?
