Although sitting opposite is the prince's elder brother, Wang Yi was a waiter in the study in his early years, and when he talked to the fourth elder brother, there was also a teacher-student relationship.

Therefore, he sat neither humbly nor arrogantly, and his expression did not change. I have been doing imperial history for many years, and I am muttering in my heart, but I don't show it at all.

He pondered for a while, and then asked, "The prince is here, but what is there to 'instruct' the subordinates?" ”

The fourth elder brother put down the tea cup in his hand, there was no joy or anger on his face, and said: "I don't dare to give advice, I just was entrusted by someone, and I want to ask how the case of the monk hitting someone on the eighteenth day of the first lunar month is going?" ”

When Wang Yi heard this, he couldn't help frowning.

He was born in a professional class, and he has the idea of serving the country with loyalty in his heart, and he is determined to be a minister. In his early years, when he was in charge of the ministry, he was not afraid of power and impeached Tuo Heqi, who was serving as the governor of Jiumen at that time.

Although he did not participate at the time, and he was still implicated. However, after the "Huiyin Case" of Kangxi in the 51st year of Tuoheqi, the old matter was brought up again, and the impeachment of that year was turned over again.

Wang Yi was thus promoted to the Shaoqing of Dali Temple, and in less than a year, he was promoted to the Yin of Shuntian Mansion by two levels.

In Wang Yi's heart, he was naturally grateful for the emperor's honor.

Since he took office in Shuntianfu, he has not slept a single peaceful sleep, and all his thoughts have been on the side of the yamen, determined to live up to the grace of the gods.

The parents at the feet of the Son of Heaven are so easy to be, and the officials and magnates who want to point fingers in Shuntianfu in the past two years are not one or two.

Wang Yi straightened his waist, although he had already thought of the fourth elder brother's intention in his heart, he was still a little faintly disappointed when he heard him say it in person.

He is bent on being a loyal minister, so he naturally cherishes his feathers. For those powerful officials who come to "advise", they can only be fake.

It was the fourth elder brother who came to the door today, and the students he had personally brought with him, he somewhat expected that the fourth elder brother would not participate in these things.

He first "coughed", and then said in a deep voice: "These few days the yamen is collecting evidence and choosing for interrogation. Among them, the specific details are inconvenient for the lower officials to disclose. ”

In other words, even if you don't want to answer, you have to weigh the weight of the prince and prince, and speak softly.

Wang Yi is quite stylish, and he gave such a sentence hard.

changed to another brother, and when he saw Wang Yi's smelly and hard appearance, he was annoyed.

The fourth elder brother just frowned inadvertently, and then immediately stretched out.

He looked up at Wang Yi and said slowly: "Lord Wang is inconvenient to disclose, and the king is not good at breaking the rules and forcing it." It's just that when entrusted by people and loyal to people, this king will go to the emperor to ask for an order and observe the case. ”

Wang Yi's heart "chuckled" all of a sudden, and it became heavy.

This case has been investigated for two days, and the more it is investigated, the more suspicious it becomes.

That Huang Dakui couldn't help but check at all, and if he continued to investigate, he was just an idle ruffian. This so-called "hitting and killing" case is not as simple as it seems, and it seems that there is another real culprit.

This is incomprehensible, and I can't imagine the purpose of framing a monk.

After all, it is "manslaughter", even if the evidence of the crime is conclusive and the case is finally decided, it is not a big deal to be able to atone for the crime with money.

If the purpose is for the Cao family, then for what?

The people behind the scenes, the purpose of this bureau, is really incomprehensible.

This Zhiran monk is temporarily living in the Cao family, not the nephew of the Cao family, even if he provokes a relationship, this will not involve Cao Yin's father and son.

The fourth elder brother unexpectedly intervened, but it made Wang Yi wake up, this will not be mixed with the prince's seizure of the heir and the wrestling of the elder brothers, right?

The answer is unknown.

The fourth elder brother had already stood up, thought for a while, and said: "Lord Wang, this king only has one piece of advice today, that is, please ask your lord to find out, but ask for the evil to be eliminated and the truth to be revealed." In the end, his face was already full of solemnity.

The fourth elder brother's words are "advice" when he says these words to others; fell into Wang Yi's ears, but he felt scorned, and his heart immediately became angry.

His face was pale and uncertain, and he suppressed the anger in his heart.

Is he a man who perverts the law for personal gain? He has been in office for more than a year, when has he ever been afraid of the powerful and arbitrarily decided a case?

Wang Yi calmed down, got up, and said solemnly: "Thank you for mentioning the point, since the lower officials have been promoted by the Long Live Lord to take charge of the silver seal of Shuntianfu, this investigation and solving the case is within the responsibility of the lower officials." will not let the dead hate, nor do they want the living to be wronged, otherwise the prince will not work, and the lower officials will not be able to wear this black veil on their heads again. ”

The fourth elder brother listened and said, "Since Lord Wang said so, then the king is waiting for the final opening." After saying that, he didn't stay long, and strode out of the yamen.

Wang Yi sent it out of the yamen, looking at the back of the fourth elder brother riding away in the twilight, he always felt that something was wrong...... What he didn't see was that the fourth elder brother was riding on a horse, but the corners of his mouth couldn't help but turn up slightly.

There is a Wang Yi who comes out, and those villains have nothing to hide? This trip to Shuntian Mansion was not in vain, and the rest was for Ming'er to find a reason to ask for instructions...... * Caojia West Mansion, the front yard study.

After listening to the news collected by Mr. Zhuang in the past two days, Cao Yin really couldn't cry or laugh.

actually has the relationship of the envoy of the prince of Shuncheng County, Bu Muba, could it be that this prince with broken sleeves is really ** heart-wrenching, arranged this bureau, and let Zhiran drill?

When you think about it, it's not right.

Even if Bumuba wanted to find Yuko to get close to Zhiran, he would not really get a life lawsuit.

Mr. Zhuang also thought of this, pondered for a moment, and said, "This game in the middle of the game is not so easy to set. If Shun Cheng's palace didn't have his eyeliner, he wouldn't have taken advantage of the opportunity like this. ”

Cao Yin nodded and said tepidly: "That's true, Xia Qing, if that one is coming for the Cao family, then you have to think of a way to repay it." Come and don't be rude, that's what I said. ”

Although Cao Yin said very calmly, Mr. Zhuang understood the meaning of his words. For such a person who hides in the shadows and is full of malice towards the Cao family, he can no longer tolerate it.

Mr. Zhuang hesitated for a moment, and originally wanted to persuade Cao Yin to wait and see, and wait for the case in Shuntianfu to be decided.

When the words came to his lips, thinking of Cao Yan's continuous disasters and small disasters over the years, Mr. Zhuang swallowed back the words of persuasion.

He has been with Cao Yan for six or seven years, and the two of them are teachers and students, masters and staff, in fact, he has long treated Cao Yan as a nephew in his heart.

For the mastermind behind the scenes, he is also extremely dissatisfied in his heart.

As the saying goes, "Three stinkers, but also Zhuge Liang", although he and Cao Yin are only two, but not three stinkers?

Take advantage of this opportunity to find out the people behind the scenes.

The other party tossed the Cao family twice and three times, but the hatred was deep and difficult to resolve.

Where is there room for détente in such an enemy?

If you find it out early, you can fight back and fight back, and if you can't fight back, you have to be more vigilant.

Thinking of this, Mr. Zhuang wiped his beard and said thoughtfully: "Since the adults have this heart, then I naturally approve of it." It's just that the other party is so sneaky, and he doesn't dare to attack this side directly, and he is afraid that he has scruples. If he doesn't do it again, it's hard to investigate. ”

Cao Yin remembered something, looked up and asked: "By the way, Xia Qing, before Yan'er left Beijing, he mentioned to me the situation of the dim sum shop, saying that it was already waiting for people over there." If that person were a cautious person, he would not have thought of making trouble at this time. Maybe you get carried away and make calculations one after another. ”

Mr. Zhuang also thought of this, turned his head to look out the window, and said: "Even if you have to do it, in order not to leave traces, most of you have to wait until the snow melts, and finally there is still some time, and it is enough to prepare here......

At this moment, when it comes to dim sum shops, it's not just Cao Yin and Mr. Zhuang. In Cao's East Mansion, Zhaojia's and Cao Song are also breaking dim sum shops...... The holy driver returned to the palace from Changchun Garden yesterday, Cao Song didn't have to go to Changchun Garden, and after the head was on duty, he left the palace.

As soon as he left the palace gate, the person sent by Cao Yi greeted him, greeted him, and said, "Second uncle, the little one has asked you to say goodbye, and our grandmother invited my uncle to come over." ”

Hearing that his sister invited him over, Cao Song was still a little puzzled in his heart.

On the nineteenth day of the first month, when the Guogong Mansion went to the funeral, although he did not go because he was on duty, he had already gone to say hello the night before.

Immediately, thinking that it would be his birthday in two days, Cao Song suddenly realized.

He sent a chief to tell his family, and he followed the servants of the government to the state palace.

When he arrived at the Guogong Mansion on North Street, sure enough, Cao Yi took out the birthday gift that had been prepared for Cao Song.

Two pairs of mille-feuille shoes, two pairs of socks, a few pieces of clothing, and a hat of red and black satin with a thumb-sized piece of jade on the front.

Cao Yi touched the material of the clothes, with a little guilt, and said with a smile: "I originally wanted to make clothes for you, add shoes and socks, and hats to make a set." Just in time for these busy funeral things, it is really unavailable. Shoes and socks can be sewn, but clothes are not cut. It seems that I still have to bother my younger siblings. ”

Cao Song heard that these two pairs of shoes were sewn by his sister herself, and she was already happy to hold them in her arms.

Hearing the end, seeing Cao Yi's face with discomfort, Cao Song hurriedly said: "For my younger brother, these two pairs of shoes are already a generous gift, and the clothes were made a lot years ago, enough to wear ......" Speaking of this, he looked at the clothes materials.

Although he is a man, after all, he grew up in a weaving mansion, and after a glance at the material of the clothes, Cao Song saw that it was a high-quality material and a lot of value.

Thinking of this, he pointed to the material and said, "Third sister, this is still left to my brother-in-law." You have changed houses, and the expenses are huge, so don't throw money on your brother. ”

Cao Yi said with a smile: "This is what I prepared for you earlier, your brother-in-law must be filial piety, and he can't wear clothes with color, and he can't use it if he stays." You still take it back and let your siblings pick it up for you. ”

Cao Song heard that his sister had prepared it before, his mouth grinned even wider, and he glanced at the material of the clothes and said, "I can't complain that my brother is the rarest sapphire blue, but I asked the third sister to worry about my brother." ”

Cao Yi sent someone to call Cao Song over, in addition to giving him a birthday gift, he also wanted to tell him about Zhaojia's entourage. So that he can persuade Zhao Jia's family to make trouble between the two houses in the province.

Seeing Cao Song like a child, so happy, Cao Yi's words turned around in his mouth, but he couldn't spit out a word.

After thinking about it, she still decided to keep the matter of the followers from the others, so as to save Cao Song embarrassment.

However, there is one thing she can't help but remind Cao Song, that is, Zhao Jia's seems to be very concerned about the dim sum shop over there.

Even on the day of the funeral at the mansion, in the greetings between Zhao Jia's and other wives, they also asked many times whether the mansions often bought dim sum and dumplings.

"Second brother, the second wife once mentioned that she would open a dim sum shop in the future, is this a joke, or is it ......" Cao Yi asked.

Cao Song's smile froze on his face, and a hint of pain appeared in his eyes.

He reached out and touched his bare forehead, and whispered, "Third sister, don't worry, my younger brother will stop you." Although the family is separated, in the end, you have to take care of your sister-in-law's face, and make jokes from your own family, wouldn't it be difficult for your brother and sister-in-law to do it? ”

Cao Yi saw that Cao Song understood in his heart, nodded, and said, "That's right, after all, they are close relatives, and they still need to support each other." ”

When it comes to these messy housework, Cao Song lost his previous interest, and after a few words with his sister, he said goodbye and went back.

On the side of the East Mansion, the Zhaojia clan had already sent people to wait for Cao Song at the second gate.

Ming'er is Cao Songsheng said, the Guogong Mansion designated it as a birthday gift, she was itching in her heart, and wanted to see what Cao Yi could prepare for her brother.

No, Cao Song returned home, and as soon as he entered the second gate, he even brought something to Zhaojia's house.

Seeing that it was just shoes and hats, Zhao Jiashi couldn't help but be a little disappointed, pursed his lips, "tsk" twice, and said: "The third girl will pass, she seems to love your brother, but she just coaxes people with a mouth." ”

Cao Song was already depressed in his heart, and after listening to his mother's words, he was even more speechless.

He didn't answer his mother's words, but asked straight to the point about the heart shop......
