Chapter 35: Black, Really Black
The crying came from Aunt Liu, and Brother Bing followed silently, not crying, but his expression was low enough. Pen | fun | pavilion www. biquge。 info
Guozi Liu was arrested by Kaifeng Mansion and has not been released until now.
Although this matter has been a long time, in view of the situation of being in the Huiling Temple to recuperate, it was not until this time that Xue Zong learned the news.
Aunt Liu snorted and cried, crying very sadly.
At the beginning, the grass shed by the Jinming Pond caught fire, and Kaifeng Mansion thought that it might be related to the shop that sold food, so it arrested many people.
Some shops were taken away by everyone, but the Xue family's shop was fine, given that most of them were women and children, Kaifeng Mansion only arrested the principal.
However, it was unfortunate that the real principal Xue Zong was not there at the time, and the only adult man, Guozi Liu, became a scapegoat and was arrested in Kaifeng Mansion.
Since then, Aunt Liu has gone to Kaifeng Mansion many times to inquire, and the answer is that after the government investigates clearly, if there is no suspicion, she will release her.
But this investigation has been going on for more than half a month, and there still seems to be no progress, but he never said anything about releasing people.
Aunt Liu went to Kaifeng Mansion to ask too many times, and it was already a little annoying, and no one paid attention to it at all.
Originally, the only thing to count on was Xue Zong, but unfortunately Xue Zong did not come back for many days, and even his life and death were unknown, and his whereabouts were unknown, and Aunt Liu had nothing to hope for except to worry about it.
Today, I finally heard that Xue Zong went home, and he was rewarded by the imperial court, and what official position did he hold. Although he is only a small Congbapin Fenglang, he is already a big official in the eyes of ordinary people.
Now that Brother Zong'er is back, he will definitely be able to help bring his man back, so Aunt Liu ran over crying and begging.
"Aunt Liu, don't worry, Uncle Liu has suffered on my behalf, how can I sit idly by?" Xue Zong immediately said; "In this way, I will go to Kaifeng Mansion to avenge Uncle Liu."
"Okay, well, with Brother Zong'er, I'm relieved." Aunt Liu trusted Xue Zong almost unreservedly.
Although Xue Zong felt a little pressured, it was incumbent on him to save Uncle Liu, not to mention that he had suffered it for himself, but for the sake of the face of the neighbors, he should also come forward to save him.
The person was arrested by Kaifeng Prefecture on the grounds that it was suspected to be related to the fire in the grass hut by the Jinming Pond.
But in reality? Xue Zong knew better than anyone how the fire was lit, and it had nothing to do with the vendors, and it was unreasonable for them to hold rock candy.
Want to blackmail with this?
There may be such black deeds in the official mansion, but Xue Zong thinks that they still dare not dare in this matter, because it is related to the issue of the emperor's assassination, after all, the stakes are high, and it is precisely because of the importance of the matter.
The imperial court investigation into the assassination case is still ongoing, and there has been no substantial progress so far.
I didn't let me say anything about saving the eldest princess, and I didn't know what important clues were hidden, related to politics and royal conspiracies, it has always been so complicated, Xue Zong has no intention of exploring it.
But it is precisely because of this that the imperial court has not set the tone for a long time, and even if the investigation on the Kaifeng Mansion side knows that there is no progress, it will spare no effort to do it.
Even if it is just to make a gesture to the court and the government, all the clues naturally cannot be relaxed, including which innocent people are implicated.
In recent times, the prison cells in Kaifeng Mansion have been overcrowded.
All the city fox society rats that touched the moldy head were arrested and put in prison, including innocent people like Guozi Liu, who could barely live in the cell.
But in the absence of absolute evidence, and there was no statement from above, Kaifeng Mansion's attitude was very resolute, that is, not to let go of any clues.
No one will let go, even if the family members go to Kaifeng Mansion to inquire about the request?
After figuring out this situation, Xue Zong probably knew it in his heart, and he also felt that this matter was not difficult to do.
First of all, Guozi Liu is innocent, this is a matter of principle, Kaifeng Mansion will not be too difficult, and there is no way to talk about conviction.
What's more, he is also a flatterer now, and he is a first-hand witness of this matter, and he knows a lot of ins and outs, so he must be able to solve the problem.
However, when Xue Zong came to Kaifeng Mansion, he ran into a wall.
That's right, hit a wall!
Probably because at the foot of the Son of Heaven, Kaifeng Mansion governs the entire Tokyo City, and also governs countless royal families and nobles in the city, so the people of Kaifeng Mansion are still quite arrogant.
After all, Emperor Taizong served as the Yin of Kaifeng Mansion before he became emperor, and if any prince in the Great Song Dynasty knew Kaifeng Mansion, it would be a signal for the prince to some extent.
In view of this, Kaifeng Mansion Yin has a special significance in the Great Song Dynasty, and Kaifeng Mansion also has its special status.
Xue Zong is a young scholar, and he doesn't look at it at all from the Chenglang family of the eighth grade, after all, there are too many high-ranking people in Tokyo City.
has always liked to accompany smiling faces, and even groveling officials are like this, it is inevitable that their eyes are above the top, and they are even very polite.
When Xue Zong came to ask, he was not taken seriously at all, and even ignored him.
This made Xue Zong very hurt, and it was not okay if he couldn't save him.
When I came out, I swore that the cowhide had been blown out, and now I said no, and I didn't say it after I went back, so how to explain it?
What's more, there has been no news for more than half a month, and the prison is the dirtiest and messiest place in the world, is Guozi Liu okay inside? People can't get out all the time, and safety is really a big worrying issue.
Therefore, Xue Zong is inevitably a little anxious!
But no matter what he said, the little officials at the gate of Kaifeng Mansion just loved to ignore it. Xue Zong was very helpless, and even thought about whether to go to Huilingguan for help, with the help of the identity of the eldest princess?
But......
This eldest princess's situation is so special, it's better not to bother easily, after all, the situation is more complicated, and it is best to solve it yourself.
Although the eldest princess was saved, it is best not to keep the royal kindness in mind, otherwise it is easy to have problems, which is an unspoken rule that must be understood for courtiers or living in the monarchy era.
What's more, the emperor has already given himself the reward of Chenglang, and if he is not satisfied, it will be a bit excessive.
But what should be done?
Xue Zong couldn't help but feel a little distressed about this, and when he was wandering at the gate of Kaifeng Mansion, he happened to encounter a sedan chair carrying from a distance, and there were guards on both sides.
Seeing this situation, the servants at the gate of Kaifeng Mansion immediately took action, their expressions became solemn and respectful, and they stood obediently on both sides.
It seems to be to greet, but to greet whom?
Xue Zong's ears and eyes were still relatively intelligent, and he heard the servants whispering from a distance: "The new Lord Yin has arrived, I heard that he is a strict person, so be sure to cheer up......
It turned out that the new Kaifeng Mansion Yin had arrived!
This is not surprising, after all, Jin Mingchi had such a big mess, and the original Kaifeng Mansion Yin Shao had to be responsible, and it was not surprising that he was dismissed.
As for the new one, he must be somewhat very capable, and he is also the person he is looking for next.
Xue Zong watched with great interest, and saw the sedan chair fall at the gate of Kaifeng Mansion, and then the sedan curtain was lifted, and an official poked his head out.
Aside from the pair of long wings that flickered on his hat, the most striking thing was his complexion - black, really dark!
