Chapter 531: Clues

After getting the pleadings and discovering a huge grievance, the presiding judge put down all the work at hand and focused on this case. This is the content of the play, and it is also a good wish, and in actual work, it is naturally impossible to do so. Early the next morning, Fan Jin first followed Zhang Shunqing to meet her friend and be a twenty-four filial husband.

These so-called friends, in fact, most of them have never been seen by Zhang Shunqing, and they all have some contact with the Zhang family, so Zhang Shunqing and the female relatives of the other party's family communicate with each other, and they know each other's existence, and it is the first time they have met each other. This kind of friendship can't be talked about deeply, but when you meet, you will still seem like sisters without distinguishing between each other, as a child of a family, this kind of kung fu can only be regarded as a basic skill, and it will definitely not make people see the flaws. In this process, Fan Jin is only responsible for talking with the other party's father-in-law, and by the way, he supports the scene for his wife.

In fact, it is not difficult to do this step, after all, a place like Datong is a military town, and the women here are either married to the children of military families or married to businessmen. Even if you marry a scholar, your future is limited, and you can't compare with Fan Jin, the hopeful star of officialdom. Wife is honored by husband, just looking at Zhang Shunqing's radiant expression, you know that with this kind of visit, her mood has gone all the way.

It wasn't until he came to the Dai Wang's Mansion that Fan Jin was a little nervous. He has been taught the bastard of the vassal king in Changsha, but compared with the acting king, King Ji is simply a good student. In his old age, Zhu Gui, the first generation of kings, still "held a big stick, hid an axe and hammer in his sleeve, chased the army and the people and beat him". The court's handling of it is only a serious criticism, and this attitude of the court naturally fuels the arrogance of the vassal king, and the current generation of the king's son is ten times more than the bastard of his ancestors. is such a flower-like wife, it is better to have less intersection with the palace.

Zhang Shunqing said with a smile: "Xianggong thinks too much, and the prince's mansion only dares to play tricks on the people, but he can only be an ancestor for me." When the minister entered the house, he just opened his mouth if he saw any antiques, calligraphy and paintings, and they would never dare not give it. Because whether this generation of kings can attack the lord depends on the face of his father, if I am not happy, hum! They don't want to be the king in front of them, and they won't be able to get Lumi, see if they are in a hurry! Now that the princess and the little prince are in charge of the palace at the same time, I just asked her what is going on with this Mei Ruyu matter, and she must go. ”

The current situation of the Acting Palace's Mansion is quite special, the Acting Gong King Zhu Tingqi died of illness, and the son who should inherit his title is young, and he died before he could wait for the Ministry of Rites to give him the name and attack. Then a problem was discovered: the acting king did not have a concubine.

The relationship between King Gong and his wife is average, so the heir is the only one, and after his death, the lineage is cut off, but the eldest son is the eldest son to be attacked by the Taiping King Zhu Naixuan is older, and he should inherit the title of acting king. But at this time, the clan of the royal palace complained to Jingshi, saying that Zhu Naixuan was disrespectful in serving his mother, and the unfilial son should not be the lord. The chief of the palace came forward to defend Zhu Naixuan, the clan insisted on suing, and the princess contradicted each other twice before and after, and the investigation of the official meeting was not clear. It is because people only call Zhu Naixuan as the little prince, and no one calls him the little prince.

Whether he can attack the knighthood depends entirely on the Ministry of Rites, in other words, on Zhang Jiangling. It is not surprising that Zhang Shunqing is sure of this.

Although Fan Jin is a patrol, he is still a courtier in front of the vassal king, and there have been cases where the patrol press was arrested and beaten in the palace for offending the clan, which shows the strength of these vassal kings in the local area. Fortunately, there was a relationship with Zhang Juzheng, but the acting king did not dare to offend him, and as soon as the handbook was handed in, Shi Qishijun, the head of the palace, soon came out to greet him in person and invited Fan Jin into the main hall.

Zhu Naixuan is similar in age to Fan Jin, and he is tall and handsome. Judging from his appearance and demeanor, he is a standard aristocrat, dignified and personable, and can be regarded as a woman's ideal husband, and the villain accused in Mei Ruyu's complaint is not a person.

The two exchanged a few words, Zhu Naixuan expressed his high respect for Fan Jin, and repeatedly said that he should have gone to greet him in person, but he couldn't make the trip because of his identity, hoping that Fan Jin would forgive him and invite Fan Jin to have a banquet at home. Of course, Fan Jin would not take his own women to drink in such a place, he only led the topic away from talking about others, and after chatting for a while, the head of the gun turned to Mei Ruyu's head.

Zhu Naixuan said: "Meihua Lao Jiu is a famous female splash in our Datong, I don't want to hear her name in such a short time." Her father used to be an officer in the Wu Army's gate standard camp, and he made some military exploits, but later died in battle. Wu Junmen thought of this kindness and took care of her very much, and this woman was lawless. opened a gambling stall in Datong to corrupt people's hearts, and also betrayed the hue to hook the children of a good family into the hub, and it was impossible to finish the matter unless the family went bankrupt. This time, Zheng Junmen was angry and sentenced her to Lefang, which was also to rectify the atmosphere and clean up the source, which was a very happy thing. ”

While the two were talking, Qi Shijun walked in from outside and said to Fan Jin: "The people in your mansion said that Miss Zhang is not feeling well and is going to leave." ”

Zhu Naixuan was stunned, "Huh? Just coming and leaving? Xiao Wang also prepared a banquet here, to entertain the virtuous couple. Humble Jing has admired the name of Miss Zhang for a long time, and wants to have a good talk, how can you say that you can leave? ”

"I'm busy with official business, and I can't wait, so I'm going to leave if I don't leave, so I'm leaving." Zhu Naixuan sent Fan in all the way to the door, Zhang Shunqing's master and servant had already gotten into the carriage, and when Fan got into the car, he saw Zhang Shunqing frowning slightly and thinking about something, and hurriedly asked, "Qingqing, what's the problem?" ”

"It's nothing, I just think there's something wrong with the princess." Zhang Shunqing said: "Although I haven't met the princess, I have also heard that the princess was born in a scholarly family, is knowledgeable, and is the internal assistant of King Gong. But when I met today, although the princess was in good spirits, she was incoherent, she was confused and unconscious, and her spirit seemed to be a little better. Speaking loudly and quickly, I always feel that this person seems to be a little excited. It is said that she and Zhu Naixuan are in charge of the palace together, but I don't think it may be the case, just the current appearance of the princess, she can't control anything at all. ”

Fan Jin frowned and said: "The princess is in poor health, Zhu Naixuan should report to the imperial court, this alone is not quite right." Mei Ruyu's state is only afraid that she will tell the right place seriously. ”

Zhang Shunqing shook her head and said: "She is nicknamed Meihua Lao Jiu, a girl with a nickname is a gambling stall, no matter how you look at it, she is not a girl from a good family." It would be ridiculous to sue the vassal royal clan according to her situation. ”

"yes, so this can only be regarded as a doubt, and it can't be taken seriously, and then we have to go elsewhere to verify it. Our matchmaker, my mentor, has someone in Datong's family, so I'll go and worship and ask what happened. ”

Zhang Yaoling is a few years younger than Zhang Yunling, but she looks older than Zhang Yunling, with gray hair and a few age spots on her face. But when he spoke, he was still full of energy, and his voice was like a bell. first took Fan Jin's hand and took a good look at it, then looked at Zhang Shunqing, and couldn't help nodding and said:

"The golden boy and the girl, a match made in heaven. The four-dimensional medium is well protected, and the red line of Master Yue is also right. Retiring from thinking can patrol Datong, which is the blessing of the military and people of Datong. You have heard about the deeds of Shangyuan, and Siwei definitely does not have this ability at your age. It's a pity, our Zhang family is not blessed, otherwise you would be our son-in-law in Shanxi. Datong is a bitter place, not as good as Jiangnan, nor as good as Jingshi. Even there is more sand and mud in the water than in other places. It's okay that you're a big man, but Miss Zhang is delicate and expensive, how can you come to this kind of place to suffer? Fortunately, our family has been a businessman for many years, and we have a few copper coins in our hands, and there are still a few industries in Datong City. If the eldest lady does not give up, she can choose any place to live, and in any case, the environment is better than that of the yamen of the procuratorate. ”

Zhang Shunqing smiled and said nothing, Fan Jin first thanked him, and then changed the conversation and asked about the gambling stall of Meihua Laojiu and the prince of the king.

Zhang Yaoling said: "The old man is here to do business, and although he doesn't dare to offend those phoenix sons and dragon grandchildren, the farther away the better." These people are not easy to mess with, they have done everything they have done during the day, and naturally the farther away from them, the better. The negotiation on the scene was done by your uncles, and I am too old to play with them, and I rarely socialize, so my knowledge is limited. It's just that I've heard that this little prince likes to make friends very much, so much so that there are three mountains and five mountains, and all kinds of weirdos have also made friends, and there are always some strange things in it. I heard that there is a man named Chen Jiucang, who can use magic and can take people's lives, and there is a man named Sun He, who is blind, but he is a magic god and is the best at judging people's good fortune. Both of them were once the guests of the little prince, but then they disappeared. Young people, easy to make friends, plus they are descendants of the Heavenly Family, it is reasonable to be beheaded as a fat sheep. ”

"As for this plum blossom old nine...... The old decay has indeed heard of it. In fact, it is late to come to Datong, if you come a few years earlier, you will know that Datong is famous Meijia Gambling House. Merchants who come to Datong know that if you make money, you have to go to the Meijia Gambling House to gamble a few hands, as long as it is a big high-roller, no matter whether you win or lose, the gambling house will arrange someone to serve you, help you book an inn and a banquet, and you can also ...... In short, whatever you want, the casino can help you do it. The owner of the gambling house is young and beautiful, and many men have some other ideas, but in the end they all suffer. But this woman is very good at making friends, and if she rejects a man, she won't make you lose face, and she will try to make amends. Such an eight-sided and delicate woman should be very powerful in the business field, but I really didn't expect to be arrested suddenly and become a Lehu again...... The world is impermanent. ”

Fan Jin can refuse the banquet of the palace, but the banquet of the Zhang family cannot refuse. The ladies entertained Zhang Shunqing alone, and Fan Jin greeted the brothers Zhang Siduan, Sishi, and Sixiang of the Zhang family, and drank bitterly, and when they said goodbye and left the house, it was already a red sun. When Fan Jin was sent away, Zhang Yaoling called several nephews into the secret room, with a smug smile on his face.

"The first step of the big brother's plan has been completed. Now it's up to us to make the next few moves. ”

Zhang Sixiang said: "The little slut will be able to go to Datong in a few days, and when the time comes, invite Fan into the mansion for a banquet and try to let the two meet." ”

Zhang Siduan said, "Don't worry." Fan Jin has a fairy-like lady by his side, and he is not sure whether this beauty plan can succeed. In case he is like Qi Nantang, his wife is like a tiger, no matter how beautiful Aunt Meng's appearance is, it will be in vain. ”

Zhang Yaoling smiled: "Siduan, you are just talking nonsense." Men are all the same, eating in the bowl and thinking about the pot, as long as their body bones are fine, who doesn't want to sleep with a few more women? There is only one thing to worry about, and he dares or doesn't dare. At present, we have to look at the news from Sister Jin Qijie, if he doesn't touch Plum Blossom Lao Jiu, it will prove that there is really Liu Xia Hui in the world, then things will be a little difficult to do, and the beauty plan will not work. ”

Zhang Sixiang sneered, "That's not a big deal, when the time comes, change the plan and try to turn it out for him." It can also make Shanxi chaotic. ”

Zhang Siduan shook his head and said: "That's always too big, and the consequences are difficult to control, so it's better to use a beauty." We can also arrange a look and ear for Fan Jin to find out his news at all times. In short, don't kill people unless you have to, we are always businessmen, not robbers. ”

Zhang Yaoling nodded and said, "What the four ends said is right. We are all businessmen, and we try not to get blood on our hands. Killing people is done by rough people, and our prime minister's court can also kill people? Don't want anything else, your eldest brother is in the court, and you must accumulate some yin skills for him. Old Five, you go back and write a letter to Xin Ai Khan. ”

"Do what?"

"Naturally, it's business. Didn't Xin Ai Khan want to catch a few county monarchs and lords from Datong and taste the taste of golden branches and jade leaves? To tell the truth, the woman of the Acting Palace, what kind of golden branches and jade leaves, but Zhang Juzheng's daughter is comparable to a princess. What's more, she is as beautiful as a fairy, Xin Ai Khan will be happy, this business is done, what do you say he should pay us? Zhang Juzheng has always been strong, we want his daughter to fall into the hands of the Tartars, and Cheng Huan under the barbarian chieftain, to see how majestic he is! ”

The brothers of the Zhang family laughed when they heard this, and only Zhang Siduan said: "Wouldn't it be too big to act like this?" ”

"What are you afraid of, it's a big thing, Zheng Fanxi is responsible for it alone, and you can't blame your eldest brother. Zhang Juzheng has been in full swing in the past few years, I don't believe it, no one can control him. This time, let him suffer a big loss in Shanxi, and it was good to get out of the evil anger in his chest. Besides, this woman is a powerful character, if you don't get her out of the plug, sooner or later it will be a disaster! ”

As soon as Fan Jin returned home, he was called out by Liang Pandi for an excuse, and then carried his ears to Xue Sufang's room. In this family, only Liang Pandi has the guts, no matter what Fan Jin's identity is, he dares to fight, Fan Jin will always be the little country student in front of her, and he doesn't dare to have the slightest shelf. As soon as he entered the house, he saw Xue Sufang sitting on the bed sobbing, her face full of tears and her eyes were red and swollen, and Liang Pandi pointed at Fan Jin's nose and said:

"Decrepit boy, do you still have a conscience! Su Fang is wholeheartedly devoted to you, what about you? Her eldest brother has been arrested and is about to be beheaded! Her sister-in-law is going to be sold to be a maid! Not only did you not help, but you also accompanied the tigress to eat and drink. Don't you have any wine at home for you to eat? Or do you only have the tigress in your eyes and can't see anyone else? In that case, we won't get in your way, Su Fang, let's go together! ”

Fan Jin hurriedly made a gesture to bother, and said, "Third sister, Su Fang's matter is not what you think. I asked Zhang Tiejian to take the documents to Yanghe Fort early this morning and face Zheng Junmen. I took this case, and I can't handle it at will. I will entertain the scene, and in two days I will leave for Benyang and visit clearly. Besides, I wasn't sure at the time, Xue Rulong was my brother-in-law. There are many people with the same name and surname in the world, and it is not good in case of mistakes. ”

Xue Wu sobbed and said, "I asked Mei's family, and what she said is that my eldest brother will not be wrong, even my father is now in Yanghe Fort." Come to think of it, I haven't talked to you about anything, but I have to ask you for this today. You also know that I only have these few relatives in the world, and my eldest brother is the only male in the Xue family's generation, so I can't let him be killed no matter what. Even if there is a great sin, he must be saved. If you don't care, I'll ...... So I went to save the people myself. ”

"Wu'er, you really misunderstood me, how could I not care about my brother-in-law's life or death. Since the matter is solid, it is easy to do, you can rest assured, even if my brother-in-law kills people and sets fires, I will keep him safe. ”

Liang Pandi pushed Fan Jin, pushed him to Xue Wu's side, hooked his foot, and kicked the door shut. "It's like a human saying. Su Fang, don't cry, I said that Jinzi is not without conscience, and it will not be as long as the tigress does not want us. ”

Xue Wu was also a little settled at this time, hugged Fan Jin and said, "I can count on retreat in this matter, you are not allowed to lie to me." Go to Yang and I and the third sister are also going together, so we can greet my father in person. ”

"That's right, you found your father-in-law, why do you want your father to see it." Liang Pandi said as he sat down beside Fan Jin. Fan Jin surrounded the two women left and right, and the three of them muttered for a while, before Xue Sufang burst into tears and laughed, beating Fan Jin on the chest: "It's all blamed on the father-in-law." If you don't tell me these things, it will make me sad for a long time. ”

"That's right. That tigress is so hateful, she is in charge of everything, and she won't let us know. We can't let her be so domineering. Jinzai, you are blessed tonight, the two of us will accompany you together. You don't have to laugh so happily, if you don't let me and Su Fang conceive flesh and blood in front of the tigress, see if I spare you! ”
