Sun Jue thought very well, borrowed 5,000 taels of silver from the Li family, 3,000 taels with the old bustard of Huanxi Building, and left 2,000 taels to dot the Shuntianfu Yamen and the Nine Men Admiral's Yamen to see if the complaint could be withdrawn.

However, Li Nai didn't have that much silver on hand.

The nine thousand taels sent by the Cheng family before, Li Nai listened to his son's words, and in the name of asking for peace, he sent a filial piety to Prince Yong's mansion. Nominally, he was filial to Sifujin, thinking that Li Nai had a cousin who married into Sifujin's uncle's family, and the two families were distant relatives.

Li Naiyuan was unwilling, and was persuaded by Li Cheng. If nothing else, just because the fourth elder brother is the same as the third elder brother, they are all older princes, and it is really impossible to keep their eyes open, and it is impossible to say if they are on the storage position.

After all, the situation of the third elder brother is very delicate now.

can't restrain the people, except for compiling books, there is no other merit, unless the emperor insists on standing up, otherwise the third elder brother has little hope.

In this way, the throne will fall between the fourth elder brother and the fourteenth elder brother.

They are from the same mother, and the fourth elder brother is a hard-working prince, so far, except for the "tide file" back then, he has not been mixed into the succession.

Even if he didn't ascend to the throne, the fourth elder brother and an auxiliary prince couldn't run away.

It never hurts for the Li family to spend some money and maintain a good relationship.

Li Cheng, like Cheng Mengxian, found that Cao Hao was not close to the fourth elder brother over the years, but he was never estranged. It's just that he is still young and has limited knowledge, so he is not as well-informed as Cheng Meng. Therefore, he also thought that Cao Hao's surname was conservative, timid and afraid, and avoided the prince and brother who seized the heir.

Not to mention anything else, that is, Cao Hao entered Beijing in his early years, and Li Cheng had heard about the fact that the prince and the eighth elder brother were courting the Cao family.

In addition to the filial piety to Prince Yong's mansion, the remaining silver Li Cheng consulted with the chief steward and sent people to Jiangnan to buy spices.

I heard that the Fourteenth Elder Brother's favorite outer room Wu loves to make incense the most. The Li family is naturally more willing to spend money on this great general.

"Yushu, why do you want to be private? If you are private, you will pinch your nose and admit this sin. If, as Yushu said, it was your colleague and Cheng Mengxian who teamed up to defraud you of 9,000 taels of silver, you should find out and return your innocence. In Li Nai's heart, he was worried that his brother-in-law's reputation would be damaged.

Even if Sun Jue was dull, he didn't get home confused, he knew that he didn't have Xia Chan's identity deed in his hand, even if he bit out Shen Qing and Cheng Mengxian, it would only expand the influence, seeing Li Nai's change of topic, Sun Jue didn't mean anything to him, frowned and said: "Why is my brother-in-law so verbose, if there is another way, I won't ask my brother-in-law for it." ”

Li Nai was blocked by his words, and he didn't say anything to persuade him, rubbed his eyebrows and said: "A few months ago, I ran for the official, and the silver on my side was almost the same, but now there are some in the account, and it is only two thousand taels of silver." ”

Sun Jue didn't doubt what he said, after all, the last time he made up money, it was the Li family who didn't have it, so he opened his mouth to the Cao family.

At this time, Sun Jue really couldn't get up anymore.

He doesn't have any good popularity, most of the Sun family are poor, and there are few who can help him.

"Brother-in-law, please help me. If it comes out, there will be a good thing to impeach the imperial history, and I don't know how many incidents will be born. Sun Jue weighed the weight, but finally couldn't get up, and pleaded in a low voice.

In Li Nai's heart, Cao, Li, and Sun are all prosperous and loss-making, and Sun Jue is his brother-in-law, so he has to help.

"Yushu, don't worry, take these two thousand taels of silver first. Ming said I'll help you Zhang Luo. Li Nai said.

When Sun Jue heard this, he put his heart at ease, thinking about the pain, got up and said to Li Nai: "Brother-in-law, the younger brother is very ashamed, and he bothered my brother-in-law." ”

Seeing him like this, Li Nai was a little embarrassed, got up and waved his hand, and said, "Yushu will be the same as the second brother in my heart." ”

Sun Jue left with gratitude and silver.

When Li Cheng heard this, his face turned blue with anger, and he didn't know why his father wanted to stop this bad thing...... * What he was afraid of, he would come.

Sun Jue said that he arranged for the housekeeper to send silver seals to the Yamen of the Admiral of Jiumen, and to look for the old bustard in Huanxi Building, and when he went to the Yamen of the Military Department in a daze, he heard a shocking news. Nancheng patrolled the city and Yu Shi Gu Na, and folded the bullet to impeach Sun Jue and remember the matter of prostitution.

According to the law of the Qing Dynasty, the best punishment for officials is dismissal and investigation.

Sun Jue only felt that the five thunders were on the top, and they were already wooden.

In a daze, at noon, there was a difference between the nine admirals, and he went to the Yamen of the Ministry of War to summon Sun Jue.

The housekeeper of the Sun family also followed, with a sad face, leaned to Sun Jue's side, and replied in a low voice: "Uncle, the little one has already handed out two three hundred taels, but there is not a word of accuracy in the yamen." The old bustard over there in Huanxi Building said, this is not three thousand taels of silver can be settled, and he refuses to be private, otherwise, I am afraid that others will learn from the master in the future and break the rules......"

Sun Jue listened with a tense face, only to feel that the eyes of his colleagues around him were like pins, stabbing him painfully.

He didn't know how to get to the Admiral of the Nine Gates, and how to see the old bustard telling the story of the abduction of the young man who had spent his hard work to cultivate...... Today's Admiral of the Nine Gates is Long Keduo, who has won the sacred heart in recent years.

It is not uncommon for such officials to accept concubines as concubines, but only if the records are eliminated. Long Keduo officialdom has been up and down for many years, and a pair of eyes can't be said to be fiery eyes, it's almost the same.

After reading it once, he knew that the case was wrong.

Although Sun Jue is only a fifth-grade official, he grew up in the family of an official eunuch, and he still needs face. Besides, since he is a Qingqi person in the Qinglou, how many people are staring at the turtle and the bustard in the Qinglou, how can it be said that they were abducted and taken away?

It's just that Gu Na is the disciple of the ninth elder brother, and he was transferred from the sixth department to the five-city inspectorate two years ago.

Gu Na came to this out, why? Calculate the Cao family behind the Sun family?

Although Brother Jiu and Cao Hao have some disagreements, they have been safe and sound in the past few years.

Long Keduo only felt foggy, and for a while, he didn't think about where to start. left the case file, and ordered Lao Bustard and Sun Jue to go back, and they wanted to change the name to a retrial.

Until he came out of the Nine Gates, Sun Jue's heart was still struggling, whether to tell the truth.

He was designed, he was wronged.

However, Shen Qing saw him in Rehe, and if he confessed, Shen Qing would return to Beijing to investigate according to the rules. In this way, the scandal in the capital will spread to Rehe, and if it reaches the front of the palace, the dignity of the Sun family will be ruined.

Sun Jue only felt that his mouth was salty, and the anger in his heart was already extremely ...... But he forgot that he was a five-grade official, and before the crime was confirmed, the Nine Commanders Yamen could not convict him. This crime still has to be reported to the emperor, and how to investigate it when the emperor shows it.

*Changping, Caojia Zhuangzi.

Cao Hao told Sun Ying about the Li family and the Zhaojia family. The Li family was stunned, but they really didn't expect to look at Zhilishu's niece and son-in-law why they became like this.

Zhao Jiashi couldn't sit still anymore, got up and cursed: "This bastard with a thousand cuts dares to treat a big girl like this, I said earlier, he is not a good person, pretending, and he can't be on the stage." No, the big girl can't suffer the grievances in vain, I want to go to Sun's house, do I have to get out of this evil breath? ”

Seeing her lighting the fire, Li Shi hurriedly grabbed her arm and said, "What's the hurry, even if you want to go back to the city, it's still dozens of miles away." When is this time, even if you leave Zhuangzi today, and when you arrive outside the capital, it is time to close the city gate. ”

Zhao Jiashi took out a handkerchief, wiped her tears, and said: "It's all useless for me to be a mother, but I watched my daughter being beaten." has raised a daughter for more than ten years, who is willing to move a finger. The black-hearted bastard, what kind of thing is he, he dares to do something to the big girl? The more he talked, the more angry he became, and by the end, he had begun to gasp.

Seeing this, Li Shi was worried, and said: "Now that the big girl has taken home, it is not bad." The second aunt dissipated her anger first, and Aunt Sun couldn't run, don't be angry, but tell the children to follow their hearts. ”

Although Zhao Jia's family was so angry, it was already night, and it was really too late to return to the city, so he could only stay for another day.

Cao Haoyuan still wanted to stay here until the end of the month, but the Li family and Zhao Jia's family were not worried about Cao Ying, so they ordered someone to clean up overnight, and the next time everyone went back to the city together.

In the east mansion of the Cao family, Cao Ying stayed in front of his son.

After a few days, Sun Li was already able to get up, but he was still coughing badly because of the injury to his lungs. He refused to lie on the kang, sat up, took the medicine bowl from his mother's hand, and drank it in one gulp.

Cao Ying hurriedly picked up a candied fruit and sent it to her son's mouth.

Sun Li frowned helplessly, but still opened his mouth obediently.

The candied fruit was a little bitter, Sun Li looked at Cao Ying, and said in a low voice: "Mother, otherwise, let's go back to Hangzhou?" Living with your grandparents...... Mother's life can be better......"

Cao Ying listened and said, "Don't you want Li'er to stay in the capital?" Doesn't Li'er also want to enter the official school and be named on the gold list like the fourth uncle? ”

Sun Li lowered his head and said softly, "Is my mother reluctant to leave my aunt and uncles?" ”

Cao Ying let out a long breath, nodded, and said, "Yes, I am reluctant." Without their protection, my mother would have been timid. Mother was frightened by your father, and although she hated him in her heart, she didn't have the courage to see him, she just wanted to hide far away and be clean in two clicks. ”

Sun Li's face showed a sad color, and he said with a little pleading: "Mother...... If the mother wants to stay at her uncle's house, she also takes her son with her, right? If the uncle's family is not happy, let's go out to live, and the son must study hard, earn a future, and be filial to his mother. ”

Listening to his sensible words, Cao Ying only felt sour in her heart, hugged her son in her arms, choked up and said, "What kind of nonsense are you talking about?" You are the meat that fell from my body, and my mother can't live without you. ”

After this change, Sun Li never shed a single tear, but now he is crying like a child.

Cao Ying only felt that her heart was about to be broken by her son's crying, it was all her own fault, so that her son was frightened, and this time she was so wronged.

She was reproaching herself when someone opened the curtain and came in.

It was Zhaojia's who walked in quickly, looking at his grandson's illness, he couldn't care about being distressed, he pulled Cao Ying, and the slap fell on Cao Ying: "How did I give birth to such a finished child as you, but if you have a surname, you can end up like this......"

Although her eyes were wide and her tone was vicious, her eyes were red and swollen like rotten peaches, her voice was hoarse, and her mouth was already a bubble of fire.

The slap fell on Cao Ying, but Cao Ying didn't feel any pain at all, her eyes were already wet, and she lowered her head and didn't squeak.

Zhao Jiashi slapped him several times, and felt that his palms hurt. Seeing this, Sun Li wanted to step forward to stop him, but when he saw that this slap was lighter than a slap, he slowly stepped aside.

Zhao Jia's couldn't fight anymore, so he hugged his daughter, and tears fell.

"It's all because of the daughter's unfilial piety, which makes the mother worried......," Cao Ying held back her tears and said softly.

Zhao Jiashi choked up and said: "Don't worry, with your mother here, you will not be wronged in vain......"

The mother and daughter were complaining, even the Li family, who had originally followed Zhaojia's family, also stopped outside the curtain, unwilling to come in and disturb.

I saw Cao Fu enter the courtyard with a strange expression, and when he saw the Li family, he hurriedly stopped, bowed down and said, "Uncle." ”

Li Shi nodded, looked at him in the big clothes he was wearing, and said, "This is just coming back from outside?" Why is your face flushed, is it because you have eaten and drunk? ”

Cao Fu hurriedly said: "No, yes...... Someone from the Sun family is here again...... Rei's father......"
