"Jia Yu Village?"

Hearing Zhanpeng's words, after accepting the post, Jia Cong swept his eyes and sneered on his face.

Jia Yucun's prayer post was written very politely, even humbly.

The people who clearly have an equal relationship with Jia Zheng and Lin Ruhai have now become an equal friend with Jia Cong.

The heat of this person's game officialdom has indeed reached the point of perfection.

It's no wonder that he was able to rise step by step in his previous life.

Jia Cong threw the prayer note aside, and tapped his index finger on the pear blossom a few times, making an even muffled sound.

When he was thinking, Zhan Peng and the others never dared to disturb.

It was Song Hua who hesitated for a while, and said softly: "Little uncle, my grandfather once said that Jia Yucun, the prefect of Jinling, is an officialdom and is not a good person. This person is easy to get power, but he is also dignified, he seems to be upright, and his exit is a chapter......"

When Jia Cong heard this, he knew that Song Hua was worried about him, so he smiled and said, "Zihou doesn't need to worry, I know who this fang is." ”

After that, he said to Zhanpeng: "Go and tell Jia Yucun, just say that I am ordered to go south and rebuild Jinyi." Now everything is complicated, and there is no need to be distracted. I ask for his understanding, and I will find an opportunity to visit him in person after October 15. ”

After Zhan Peng took the order and left, Song Hua also got up to say goodbye.

Jia Cong sent it to the second gate, Song Hua repeatedly asked him to stay, and said: "Grandfather ordered me to tell you, but if there is something difficult and incomprehensible, you must send a message to the family. Uncle Xiao has too heavy a heavy responsibility on his shoulders, don't use red tape as a fetter. ”

After Jia Cong respectfully comprehended the teaching, he saw that Song Hua was still hesitating, as if he didn't want to leave, so he scolded with a smile: "Come to Japan, what are you talking about?" ”

Song Hua did not hide his worries: "It's not that I don't have confidence in Uncle Xiao, it's just that the situation in Jinling is really complicated and difficult to understand." The major famous families, the major eunuchs, and the squire are right...... Even the Jiangnan Governor was helpless, and he had a headache, and Uncle Xiao ......"

Jia Cong clasped his hands in front of his chest and looked at Song Hua's worried chatter with a smile on his face.

Seeing this, Song Hua stopped in shame and said: "Grandfather also said that I was worried about the sky, and also said that the little uncle walked one step and saw ten steps, and the extraordinary husband and wife were comparable ......."

Jia Cong laughed and said: "Zihou, Mr. said that the former sentence is still possible, and the latter sentence must never come from the mouth of Mr. ”

Song Hua's face turned red, and he said embarrassedly: "It's really made up by me." ”

Jia Cong burst into another hearty laugh, in front of people who are really close to him, or relatives, he can laugh so heartily.

Patting Song Hua's arm, Jia Cong smiled and said, "Zihou, don't worry, I understand your intentions, and I won't break the situation with my strength in Jinling City." Jinling is the center of the six provinces in the south of the Yangtze River, and the situation is not comparable to a small thousand households. If it is really so easy to understand, Jiangnan will not wait until today. ”

When Song Hua heard this, he finally put his mind at ease, and said with a smile: "What my grandfather said is not bad, it is really me who is too worried." Uncle Junior, farewell! ”

……

"Your Excellency!"

After sending Song Hua away, Jia Cong had not yet returned to the study, when he saw Yao Yuan and Shen Lang coming in a hurry, their faces solemn.

Jia Cong said: "What happened, but what happened?" ”

Yao Yuan and Shen Lang were sent to interrogate Liu Zhao's family and slaves before, Yao Yuan was the envoy of Nanzhen Fusi, and he was already proficient in punishment, and Shen Lang was not Zhanpeng's chivalrous and soft-hearted people, and the two of them were doing such things together.

Although Liu Zhao stated that he would scatter his family wealth to ensure safety, Jia Cong thought that such people would inevitably leave a piece of family wealth for the purpose of making a comeback.

Yao Yuan hugged his fists and said: "My lord, Liu Zhao's housekeeper has recruited a very useful confession, and he does not dare to delay his humble duties." "Looking at the appearance, I was more excited.

Jia Cong said: "What confession? ”

After Yao Yuan looked left and right, although there was no one around, he still lowered his voice and said: "Butler Liu Zhao said that there is a secret pavilion in Liu Zhao's study, which stores a large box, which records the deeds and some evidence of the Jiangnan officials, wealthy families and other forces he has collected over the years, as well as the gift list he bribed the major forces in Jiangnan, and the contract documents of some secret property!" ”

Jia Cong's eyes narrowed when he heard this, and he pondered for a while before he slowly asked: "Such a major matter related to the life of his family, he can know such details as a housekeeper?" Could it be a trick to trap people? ”

Shen Lang twitched the corners of his mouth when he heard this, and couldn't help but think in his heart, this young adult is good at everything, but he seems to be a little too shrewd, and everything looks like a conspiracy......

Yao Yuan was considerate, because he was used to calculations, and after thinking about it, he said: "Although there is such a possibility, it is not very likely. Liu Zhao's housekeeper confessed that he has a good relationship with Liu Zhao, obviously he is a housekeeper, but in fact he is his male favorite. There are also several Qing guests, all of whom are Liu Zhao's male guests. ”

Jia Cong didn't make a fuss, the world is like this, and the south of the Yangtze River is still prosperous.

He thought for a moment and said, "Regardless of the authenticity, let's go and see." If true...... It's not necessarily a good thing, either. ”

Shen Lang was puzzled, Yao Yuan nodded, and said in a deep voice: "It's hard to ride a tiger." If you really want to search for incriminating evidence, the Governor's Mansion and the Governor's Mansion will not be found, but the situation in Jiangnan is indeed not something that can be solved in black and white. ”

With Shen Lang's always cold heart, he couldn't help but be curious: "Evidence of guilt can't be convicted?" ”

Yao Yuan also looked at Shen Lang strangely: "The Thousand Households in Yuezhou did countless evils at the beginning, and they didn't even have time to cover it up, did others convict them?" ”

Shen Lang was stunned when he heard this, and then he heard Jia Cong say lightly: "In the final analysis, it is the strength that is different. The power of the Jiangnan Shi clan in the local area is too great, and if you really want to jump off the wall in a hurry, half of the Jiangnan is unstable in an instant, even if we act according to the law, if we cause chaos in Jiangnan, it will be a big crime in the end.

Especially in terms of the new law, the unity of the local forces in Jiangnan is more and more fearful. ”

A wry smile appeared on Shen Lang's unsmiling face, shook his head, and said, "I don't understand." ”

Jia Cong smiled and said, "You don't need to understand everything, everyone has their own work." Let's go, let's go find the secret grid first, if it's really as Liu Zhao's housekeeper said, it's actually a big gift, which can save a lot of effort. ”

……

In Liu Zhao's room, this should be the place where Liu Zhao sleeps after he is sleepy after studying.

There was a large stepping bed in the room, and there was a kang table on the bed.

Shen Lang stepped forward and dragged the kang table and futon away, revealing the bed board.

Yao Yuan fumbled at the head of the bed for a while, put his hand on a raised lotus pattern, and turned it hard, and a piece of the bed board was upturned.

The three of them were shocked, and Yao Yuan uncovered the upturned wooden plank, revealing a large wooden box underneath......

Shen Lang stepped forward and took out the wooden box, put it on the floor, and saw that there was a copper lock on it, Shen Lang didn't even use an axe, and dragged it down alive.

Sawdust flying......

The corners of Jia Cong's mouth curled, and he said, "Look, this is your strength, I will never be able to change it." ”

Shen Langpi smiled without smiling, and said: "Those who can do lowly duties, everyone can do it." Adults can do it, but there are few in the world. ”

Jia Cong smiled, patted Shen Lang's arm, and praised: "There is a future." ”

Yao Yuan laughed loudly on the side, Shen Lang blushed once, and then returned to the appearance of an iceberg.

When you open the wooden box, you can see that it is full of books, papers, and letters.

Jia Cong casually picked up an account book, which looked like it should be the latest, and when he opened it, his eyes narrowed.

I saw that on the first page, it was written plainly:

On July 18 of the thirteenth year of Chongkang, Liu Rong, the steward of the Zhen family in Jiangnan, sent a thousand taels of silver and four third-class thin horses.

Turning another page: On the ninth day of August in the thirteenth year of Chongkang, Chai Jing, the head of the Zhen family in Jiangnan, sent three thousand taels of silver and four second-class thin horses.

Turning another page: On September 11 of the thirteenth year of Chongkang, Zhen Ji, the second master of the Zhen family in Jiangnan, sent three Qingke and five Qingxiu Xiaowu.

Another page: September 30 of the thirteenth year of Chongkang, Zhen Fu, the uncle of the Zhen family in Jiangnan, sent six solitary books, six pairs of thin gold authentic works, and two first-class thin horses.

……

The Zhen family, when the Holy Ancestor toured south, the Holy Driver was stationed in the West Garden of the Zhen Family.

In front of the important ministers around him and the civil and military forces of Jiangnan, the Holy Ancestor pointed to Mrs. Fengsheng and called her "the old man of my family".

And the royal pen personally wrote the residence of the Holy Lady as "Xuanrui Hall".

The word Xuanrui originally meant to be the mother of the family.

The Zhen family was born from this, and in the next 60 years, it inherited the position of president of Jiangnan for generations.

It is the eyes and ears of the heavenly family in the south of the Yangtze River.

Even in front of the governor of Jiangnan, the head of the Zhen family can stand up and not fall behind.

After 60 years of operation, the name of the first Zhen family in Jiangnan is by no means false.

It is reasonable for Liu Zhao to give gifts to the Zhen family, but Jia Cong turned the page again, but his face changed slightly:

In the second year of Chongkang, the son of Zhao Cheng, the steward of the Zhen family, robbed the woman Li Qing'e and beat her husband Wang Qiang to death.

In the second year of Chongkang, Zhen Chong, the third grandfather of the Zhen family, led people to rob 200 acres of paddy fields in Fangjiazhuang, killed eight villagers, and no one dared to accept the complaint.

In the third year of Chongkang, Li Xu, a relative of the Zhen family, galloped wildly, collided and trampled on a dead woman, three young children, Li Xu bit the woman and frightened the horse, and sentenced to pay 50 taels of silver. Burn......

……

is such a thick account book, Jia Cong feels as heavy as a thousand catties.

On every page, there are blood and tears and human lives, and this is just the Zhen family......

Although Jia Cong understands that as long as it is a human society, there will inevitably be classes. And different classes mean that people are superior and inferior, high and low.

That's why things like this happen.

The existence of the law is for the ruler to rule over the ruled, and it has little to do with justice.

But it's one thing to understand the truth, and quite another to turn a blind eye.

The saints are unkind, and they use the people as dogs.

Jia Cong always thought that this sentence didn't need to be further understood, and it made perfect sense when understood literally.

It's a pity that he can't be a saint.

Closing the account book, Jia Cong exhaled lightly, looked at the big wooden box on the ground, and said with a smile: "I don't know how many lives are recorded here, and I don't know how many pickled deeds are recorded." It's a pity, it's deadly for ordinary people, and it's ...... for them."

Saying that, Jia Cong casually threw the account book into the wooden box, and said coldly with a "poof", and said coldly: "Take it out now, it's just to hand over a slave to come out and take the account, and you don't even need to give a minion." Yao Yuan......"

Yao Yuan was stunned when he heard this, and bowed down and responded: "Humble duty." ”

Jia Cong said in a deep voice: "All those who know the news of this wooden box will be caned to death, and our people will also issue the most strict password." Remember, if the people in the box knew that the box existed, there would be people jumping over the wall.

We don't have to break the net with them, there is still time to settle accounts with them.

Shen Lang, you broke the wooden box, so you want to put it away again.

Otherwise, I'm asking for you. ”

After that, he didn't look at the wooden box again, and turned around and went out.
