The Shuntian Mansion is on Gulou North Street, not far from Cao's Mansion, and Cao Yan and others arrived in a quarter of an hour on horseback.

Cao Hao was a little curious about this Shi Qingtian Shi who was widely recited in later generations, but when he saw the deity in the lobby, he really didn't have the heart to look at it carefully, and he only probably saw that the other party was not good-looking, but very ordinary.

I don't know if there is a companion of King Pingjun, or the good upbringing of Cao Hao's family is fully revealed-thorough, with good manners and proper speech, he is not a gentleman that Shi Shilun hates. Shi Shilun's attitude was quite peaceful, and he only asked about the details seriously, and the master recorded it.

Shi Shilun Kangxi has been in the public career for 24 years, and it has been more than 20 years, most of which he has been a local magistrate, and he has his own experience in judging various cases. There were a total of eight murderers who attacked Cao Song, in addition to killing two people on the spot and escaping two people, four people were captured.

They did come prepared, and the target was Jiangning Weaving Cao Yin's two sons.

After reading this confession, Shi Shilun had a little clarity in his heart, expecting that the person who bought the murder hated Cao Yin to the core, and he would have to cut off his heirs before he would have such a vicious act, so he didn't embarrass Cao Hao and the others much.

Nersu heard that the other party had recruited, and was busy asking for details, but Shi Shilun didn't hide it, so he asked the master to tell them.

This gang of murderers was originally a group of scoundrels in Tongzhou, and its leader was called Wan Jiu - one of the two people who was killed on the spot. Wan Jiu was born as a butcher, with a bit of brute strength, gathered a group of rabble, mixed in the market, and made a living by collecting protection money or seeking revenge and debt collection for others, and gradually made a name for himself in Tongzhou.

Seven days ago, I don't know through what channel, Wan Jiu took over a big deal, and he received a thousand taels of deposit alone. The other party asked that it could be counted as one or two, because he asked Wan Jiu to kill the two sons of Jiangning Weaving Cao Yin, and also said that the Cao family's son was in the capital and the second son was in Jiangning, and promised to pay another three thousand taels of silver for each person killed.

Wan Jiu and the others all felt that Jiang Ning had traveled thousands of miles, and they were a little uncertain. "A strong dragon does not suppress the head snake", it is really not safe to kill the son of a family on someone's territory. So, he decided to go to Beijing and solve the Cao family's son first.

went to the capital to investigate for two days, and knew that the second son of the Cao family came to Beijing some time ago, and everyone was secretly happy in their hearts.

The large plaque of the Earl's Mansion hanging high on the door of Cao's house still made Wan Jiu and them a little scrupled. They didn't know what the count was, but they began to worry about the high courtyard wall and the sturdy gatehouse. On a moonlit night, they climbed the courtyard wall, looked at the layers of courtyards, and were immediately dumbfounded. As a result, the movement caused the dogs to bark, and several people ran away in fright.

When they inquired about the Cao family's son being the imperial guard, Wan Jiu and they stared at each other even more. The imperial guards, they haven't seen it, but who doesn't know the royal cat Zhanzhao in "The Legend of Bao Gong"? What kind of skills do you have to be able to go to the Son of Heaven on an errand? With the kung fu of their brother and a few three-legged cats, where will they be opponents.

In the past few days in Beijing, in addition to exploring near Caofu, these brothers are spending all day and wine, eating seafood, and spending money happily. Therefore, if they return to Tongzhou empty-handed like this, how can they be willing? Killing one is three thousand taels of silver for Bai Huahua, even if the big one can't be beaten by the imperial guards, this small one is just a hairy boy, can't you kill it? So in this way, they set their sights on Cao Song. In order to be prepared, they also got a pack of fire yao through the fox friends they met in the past few days. Thinking that if you miss, you can also use fire yao to create chaos and escape.

Today, when I saw Cao Song going out with my female dependent, I followed him in Cao's Mansion. When it was almost lunch, when Baoya sent someone to Tao Ranju to order food, she was heard by the person who was being followed. These people went to the Yijian teahouse opposite Tao Ranju in advance and waited, and when everyone came, they attacked.

The more barefoot the more daring, a few third-rate gangsters simply formulated a crappy plan under heavy rewards, and the clumsy performance was greatly enhanced due to the introduction of Huoyao, and the lethality was greatly enhanced, until the current situation was made.

After the master finished speaking, Cao Hao was silent, and Nersu said first: "If you die, you don't know if you buy the murderer." However, if the culprit is not eliminated, the younger brother will be more dangerous. There is also Lord Lao Shi's troubles, and he said that the murderer was arrested early, so as to avoid our suspense and worry. ”

Shi Shilun said: "The prince is serious. Such a big case came out at the feet of the Son of Heaven, and the government had already failed to notice it, and the government should write an apology. It is the responsibility of the government to close the case as soon as possible, please rest assured. ”

Cao Hao saw that it was pointless to continue, so he immediately said, "There is Lord Laoshi." After a pause, he added, "I am deeply disturbed to hear that someone has died innocently. Although human lives cannot be exchanged for money, the deceased are gone, and the living still need to be compensated. The Cao family is willing to pay the money for the pension, and everything is in accordance with the judgment of the adult. ”

Shi Shilun listened, and couldn't help nodding secretly, this person is a benevolent, righteous and responsible person, and said: "This government will deal with it impartially." ”

The Wei Hei and Wei Bai brothers and the other two palace guards were injured because they were fighting back in self-defense, and they were protected by the king of Pingjun, so they were not sentenced to imprisonment, but were released on the spot, and left the court with Nersu and Cao Hao and Cao Song.

Before everyone walked out of the courtyard of the yamen, a group of people came in with tears and shouts, led by a middle-aged fat woman with a head full of gold and silver, holding a handkerchief, which could cover half of her round face, and the other half of her face had already been stained with tears and makeup, mixed with blue and red, and at first glance it was bluffing.

The group of people cried all the way with words such as "Lord Qingtian, you have to be the master for us......" and so on, and they didn't beat the drum and screamed grievances, and went directly to the lobby.

There are already many cases in the yamen, and everyone thinks about their own affairs, so they don't care about those people. When they got out of the yamen, the entourage led the horses over, and everyone was just about to get on the horses, when suddenly there was a noise in the door, and it was the fat woman and her group who were forked out by a group of officials.

The fat woman was pushed by the servant, and scolded in her mouth: "Blind your eyes, dare to drive the old lady out?!" What are you......" Before he finished speaking, he was pushed hard by the servant, stumbled out, and fell down the street.

The two little maids hurriedly ran over to help, who knew that although the woman was fat, she was not very dexterous, and she got up by herself, and she didn't care about dusting off the dust on her clothes, and immediately scolded: "You are a king and a lamb, how many heads dare to push the old lady?" Blind your dog's eyes! Manyan Jingcheng inquired, who doesn't know that my family is the person of Jiubei Ziye! The old lady moved her little finger and told you to break your bones, let me tell you, Jiubei Ziye is ......"

The woman brought a handful of attendants who hurried over, covered her mouth, and walked away. Far away, about the entourage let go, and heard the woman's sharp voice scolding, the words were vicious, and then the ninth master was long and the ninth master was short. Soon he was gagged again, and there was no more sound.

Nersu showed a sarcastic smile, glanced at Cao Hao, and got on their horses, but Cao Song was quite curious, and looked over there, and couldn't help but say: "This is really a shrew, I don't know these nine ......" Before the words were finished, the smooth forehead was slapped lightly by Nersu, he looked up and saw that his brother-in-law and brother were dignified, and he didn't dare to speak at the moment, so he obediently got on the horse and went home.

Nersu came out for a long time, afraid that Fu Jin would be worried, and after leaving the Yamen of Shuntian Mansion, he instructed the Cao Yan brothers again, and went back with the guards first.

Cao Yan asked the Wei brothers and made sure that the two were indeed unharmed, so he relieved himself, and then thanked the two for saving Cao Song's life.

The Wei brothers were originally from the rivers and lakes, and since they entered the Cao Mansion, this was the first time they had a fight, and they were a little excited in their emotions. Cao Song was influenced by the two of them, and he could also talk and laugh about the experience at noon.

Back at Cao's Mansion, Cao Yan saw that the Wei brothers looked embarrassed, so he invited the two of them to go back to the room to change clothes and freshen up, and asked someone to tell the kitchen to treat a table of wine at night to suppress the shock of the two brothers.

In the hall, Zhuang Xi was waiting, and when he saw Brother Cao Yan coming back, he hurriedly asked, "What did the yamen say?" But what clues are there? ”

Cao Yan was just about to open his mouth to answer, when the porter came to report that the two young masters of the Yongwu Earl's Mansion had arrived.

Cao Yan hurriedly asked Cao Song to tell Mr. Zhuang what he knew in the Yamen, and went out of the house to pick up the two guests.

The two brothers, Yongqing and Yongsheng, dressed in plain clothes, stood at the gate of Cao's mansion. The two brothers are tall and mighty, and the other is gentle and elegant, but at the moment they are all full of melancholy.

"Brother Shanyu, Brother Yongsheng!" Cao Yan greeted with a little guilt.

Before Yongqing could speak, Yongsheng had already preemptively asked: "I heard that someone assassinated, the carriage overturned, how is Bao Gege, how is my sister, is she injured?" ”

"Bao Gege is fine, it's just that Ling Mei injured her arm and is recuperating from her injuries in the Mansion!" Cao Yan replied.

"Hurt your arm? What's going on with your Cao family, why are you so unlucky......" Yongsheng said angrily.

"Second brother, don't be rude!" Yongqing saw that the more his younger brother spoke, the more polite he became, so he was busy drinking.

"Where did I say something wrong?" Although Yongsheng was angry, after muttering a sentence, he finally closed his mouth.

*

The Earl's Palace, the main house.

Wan Jiha sat on the kang, Ding Wei had been raised in the house for half a year, and he was much richer. He hummed Kunqu opera and calmly sipped a cup of Tieguanyin.

A woman in her forties walked around on the ground, it was the main room of Wanjiha and the birth mother of the three Yongqing siblings, the county lord of Fuhui. Seeing her husband's leisurely appearance, she couldn't help but feel a little annoyed, and walked to the edge of the kang and sat down: "Don't hum, my daughter doesn't know what the situation is, why are you so unconcerned as a father, and you are so filial to you in vain Yongjia Ping!" ”

Wan Jiha replied with a smile: "My good lady, you can rest assured! Tao Ranju's accident has been half a day now, if Yongjia really has something wrong, the Ping Wangfu and the Cao family have already come to report the news! ”

"If it's okay, then what is the baby girl doing with this lie? And bring our Yongjia to Cao Mansion! Lord Fuhui was puzzled.

"There are no major events, small injuries should be inevitable! Bao Gege is the strongest, he took Yongjia away, and she was injured, she must have no face to see us, thinking about raising it for two days and then sending it back! "Wangi Ha Dao.

"Yongjia is injured!" Lord Fuhui stood up suddenly: "No, Yongqing has a stupid mouth, and Yongsheng has always respected Bao Yatou, how can the two of them take Yongjia back?" I'm going to Cao's house! ”

"What's the catch?" Wan Jiha frowned and said: "You really want your daughter to become an old girl, and you won't be able to get married just like this." ”

"Our Yongjia is the daughter of the Earl's Palace, how can we get married?" Lord Fuhui asked rhetorically with an eyebrow.

"Yongjia delayed this draft because of filial piety, and it will be over age in three years! Originally, I wanted Yongjia to participate in this year's draft, and let's entrust the activities in the palace and the palace to which palace. Even if it is not as good as Yongning, it is not too far behind. - Who would have thought that it was just in time for Amma's filial piety! Wan Jiha sighed: "When the filial piety period expires, Yongjia will be nearly twenty, and it will be easy to find a good match at the door!" ”

When the county lord of Fuhui heard her husband's intentions, she hurriedly shook her head: "What can the Cao family do?" The Cao family is from Baoyi, although the flag is raised now, but it still doesn't match! ”

"A woman's opinion!" Wan Jiha glanced at the cup of Tieguanyin on the kang table: "Even if the Cao family is a slave, it is also a slave of the Long Live Lord!" Up and down the Eight Banners, which one is not a long-lived minion? Although the Cao family cannot be said to be rich, it is afraid that it is much thicker than the ordinary palace. The deficit of three or four million has been repaid nearly half in three or two years, how big is this? Just talking about Cao Yan, the eighty hectares of land are larger than the two Zhuangzi in our house. Cao Yan's name was given by the Lord Long Live himself, and I heard that he personally gave Cao Yan a birthday outside the Saiwai, and this grace of raising the flag was the reward for his fifteenth birthday. Long live the old love the most, and Cao Yin is the beloved grandson of Mrs. Fengsheng and the beloved son of Cao Yin, so he loves him like a nephew. If such a person becomes Yongjia's son-in-law, our family will be a little heavier in the heart of Long Live Lord! ”
