As soon as he arrived in Beijing, Yue Su, in the name of the Criminal Department, distributed Ma Guangyi's image and pasted it almost all over Yanjing City. Moreover, all the servants of the Shuntian Mansion and the Criminal Department were dispatched to inquire from house to house, and it can be said that as long as someone is in Beijing and someone knows him, then he will definitely be able to turn it out.

The fans of Dongchang are also people, and they also have families and neighbors. Ma Guangyi belongs to the head of the Dongchang Investigation, not a secret agent, and he is very majestic, and the surrounding neighbors not only know him, but also fear him like a tiger. The Criminal Department and the Shuntian Mansion searched the whole city with this image of you, how could there be no reason not to find it, it only took half a day's work to have a messenger visit Ma Guangyi's neighbor and determine the door. At the same time, his occupation was also investigated.

The other party was from Dongchang, and the servants didn't dare to act rashly, so they hurriedly rushed back to the yamen and informed Lord Yue that Yue Su still cared about what you were doing, and then ordered Tong Xuan to bring someone to the door to take him into custody.

Tong Xuan led people to Ma's house, knocked on the door a few times, and immediately a descendant came out and opened the door. The latter was quite horizontal, and when he saw that the person who came was from the yamen, he immediately asked, "What are you doing?" Wrong door, right? ”

"The owner of your family is surnamed Ma, and he is the master of Dongchang?" Tong Zhou asked loudly.

"Since you know that my master is from Dongchang, do you dare to come to the door to make trouble?" Housheng asked rhetorically.

"Then your master looks like this?" Tong Xuan said that the portrait of Ma Guangyi was lit up.

When I saw it in the later life, it was indeed my own master, and he said with some confusion: "It's my master, what do you mean by this?" ”

"Yes." Tong Xuan waved his hand and shouted, "Go in and search!" ”

Tong Zhou brought more than 50 people, and as soon as he gave the order, the servants pushed the offspring aside and swarmed in.

The head of the Dongchang is not a big official, and although he can get some silver by extortion and extortion, the house is not very big, that is, the courtyard of the front and back. The servants quickly pulled out all the people in the family, Ma Guangyi had a mother, two wives, a child, and more than a dozen maids and servants, but Ma Guangyi was not there.

After a little interrogation, I knew that Ma Guangyi had gone on a business trip in the morning and had not come back yet. After all, it was an important case, in order to prevent anything from happening, Tong Zhou sealed the Ma family, and all the people in the family were brought back to the Criminal Department. Subsequently, Yu Ming Yue Su.

When he went to Dongchang to arrest people, the Criminal Department did not have this right, so he could only ask the emperor for an order. According to the usual practice, when he went to court the next day, it was not too late to ask for a decree, but after all, the case involved the British duke, Yue Su did not dare to be sloppy, and immediately entered the palace in person.

Yue Taifu is now entering the Forbidden City, and it is no different from walking through his own gate, and when he hears it outside, the emperor will immediately summon him.

Seeing Carpenter Zhu in the Palace of Raising the Heart, Yue Su told the British Duke about the case, and Zhu Youxiao immediately ordered someone to call Wei Zhongxian.

Father-in-law Wei is now on duty, and he got a message and rushed to the Heart Cultivation Palace. came to the door and bowed, "The old slave greets the emperor." ”

"Excuse me." Zhu Youxiao waved his hand, "Come in and speak." ”

"Thank you, Your Majesty." Gonggong Wei walked in slowly, and when he was still two steps away from Carpenter Zhu, he bowed down, "I don't know what the emperor commanded the old slave." ”

"Is there a man named Ma Guangyi in the East Factory?" Carpenter Zhu asked.

"Yes." Father-in-law Wei replied calmly.

"According to Yue Qing's family, he is the one who robbed the British male silk goods, and you should bring someone to me immediately." Carpenter Zhu said.

"Ah......" Wei Zhongxian pretended to be surprised, "This guy has such courage, Your Majesty wait a minute, the slave will ask someone to bring him here." ”

After saying that, Wei Zhongxian hurriedly ran out, but soon came back. "Your Majesty, the old slave has already sent someone to detain this guy, please wait a while."

The efficiency of the East Factory has always been very high, and after waiting for a while, I saw an old eunuch come to the Yangxin Palace, the old eunuch walked to the entrance of the hall and knelt down directly, "Han Han, the eunuch in charge of the second room of the slave East Detective Factory, knocks on the emperor." ”

"What are you going to do?" Carpenter Zhu asked casually.

"Ma Guangyi belongs to the second room of the slave maid, and the slave maid has come to ask the emperor for guilt." Han Han said cautiously.

"I'll talk about your affairs later, what about Ma Guangyi?" Carpenter Zhu asked.

"The slave sent him to take people to Zhejiang this morning to raise Huang Zunsu, and now he has already left the city. The slave maid just sent people to chase him along the road. Han Han said.

Go to Zhejiang to mention Huang Zunsu? Should I say it or not, Carpenter Zhu's surname is not bad, he looked at Wei Zhongxian and said, "Wei Qing, remember that not long ago, didn't you already ask for a decree from me and go to Zhejiang to raise Huang Zunsu?" Why only now? ”

"Back to Your Majesty, here's the thing, the last time Zhou Shunchang and Huang Zunsu were detained together, but there was a mistake halfway, and they lost their driver's post, and they had no choice but to come back, so they sent someone for the second time. The slave didn't know who Han Gonggong sent just now, and she didn't want to let Ma Guangyi go. Wei Zhongxian said.

The Donglin Party Prison is divided into the first six gentlemen and the last seven gentlemen. The first six gentlemen were Yang Lian, Zuo Guangdou, Wei Dazhong, Yuan Huazhong, Zhou Chaorui, and Gu Dazhang. The latter seven gentlemen are Gao Panlong, Zhou Shunchang, Zhou Qiyuan, Miao Changqi, Li Yingsheng, Zhou Zongjian, and Huang Zunsu.

After Gonggong Wei drove away Ye Xianggao's gang, he still chased and beat some officials of the Donglin Party, and the latter seven gentlemen were among them. Some time ago, when he went to capture Zhou Shunchang, he stirred up a civil uprising in Suzhou, and the people beat Dongchang Fanzi to the bottom of the water. It's unlucky, because the enthusiasm of the people is too high, they will fight when they see Fanzi, and the other group who went to arrest Huang Zunsu was also implicated, and he lost the driving post in a hurry. If you don't have a post, who else are you going to catch, you can only rush back.

However, the person who went to detain Huang Zunsu for the second time was actually not Ma Guangyi.

As soon as Yue Su returned to the city and sent people to search for Ma Guangyi, Wei Zhongxian had already received news that the agency had been exposed. It happened that Ma Guangyi was working in the East Factory at that time, and Father-in-law Wei simply didn't do anything, and directly killed Ma Guangyi and the fans who went to rob the goods together. Then instructed Han Han to say that if he found out, he said that he had sent Ma Guangyi out of the city this morning and went to Zhejiang to detain Huang Zunsu.

Anyway, those who don't know are not guilty.

"Oh." Carpenter Zhu nodded and said, "Wei Qing, then this matter will be handed over to you, quickly send someone to arrest Ma Guangyi and hand it over to Yue Qing." ”

"The old slave obeys."

This matter was fooled by Father-in-law Wei, and Yue Su also understood that it was impossible for him to see Ma Guangyi in his life, and with the means of Dongchang, it was estimated that even Ma Guangyi's body would have to evaporate. Okay, let's forget it, anyway, the Li family's wrongs have been cleared.

Yue Su returned to the Criminal Department and personally wrote a letter to the British Princess, explaining the whole story of the case. The suspicious points should naturally be written, and the person who robbed the silk goods in the house has been identified as Dongchang Fanzi, but whether people can find it again is two words. I will do my best here, but the matter is definitely not about the Li family, because the Li family has not yet mobilized the ability of the East Factory, and there is a good chance that it was deliberately framed.

The content of the letter is relatively vague, and it is not named and said that it was instructed by Wei Zhongxian, but a discerning person can guess a rough idea, even if it is not Wei Zhongxian, it may be a high-level in the East Factory, and at the very least, someone bought Ma Guangyi.

The British public is not bad for money, what is bad is a breath, and now the truth is basically revealed, as a fox family, I can guess a rough idea, I am a gunman. Well, forget it. The silk goods are gone, can I send someone to the south to collect them again?

Yanjing City stopped again, and after a few days, the imperial court issued an order to send people to the nine-sided military parade to check the number of soldiers and horses and ordnance.

This time, people were sent to inspect the nine sides, and the official positions of the people sent were not much the same as before, except in two places, which were somewhat different. The first place is Liaodong, and the person sent is Liu Yingkun, the eunuch of the ceremonial eunuch, and Liu Gonggong is also the leading figure in the Forbidden City, ranking fourth in the ceremonial supervisor. Sending such a person to inspect Liaodong was beyond everyone's imagination, but everyone also vaguely understood that Gonggong Wei wanted to attack Sun Chengzong on the occasion of inspecting the border army.

Inspecting Jizhen was Ruan Zhenmei, the right deputy of the Metropolitan Procuratorate, who had two tasks on this trip, one was to inspect the border army, and the other was to thoroughly investigate the case of Zhang Guozhu's meritorious service.

The emperor issued a holy decree that all the officials who inspected the border army should set off after three days. Before leaving, few people went to the homes of these officials to see them off.

The right deputy of the Imperial Palace, said that it was not big, and it was not small, but after all, Lord Ruan was just coming to the capital and did not have many friends, so it stands to reason that not many people should come to see him off.

But everything can't be viewed according to common sense, maybe it's because Lord Ruan's popularity is good, maybe it's good, since the holy decree was issued, Lord Ruan's doorstep is really full of people, and there is an endless stream of people who come to see him off. You can't go to the door to see you off empty-handed, and the gifts of big cars and small cars are sent into Ruan's mansion one by one.

As an official of the imperial court, as long as it is a Beijing official, most of the imperial court arranges houses, and these mansions are lived in turns. Therefore, as soon as Ruan Zhenmei entered Yanjing, she had a place to live.

The father-in-law is leaving Beijing, and as a son-in-law, he has to see him off. Although in the past few days, the court can meet him every day in the duty room, and Yue Su takes the initiative to say hello every time, but Ruan Zhenmei has a look of love and ignorance, as if Yue Su owes him 100,000 taels and has not paid it back.

As a junior, Yue Su could only endure it, today was the second day after Ruan Zhenmei received the order, and Yue Su felt that he had to go to Ruan's mansion. After discussing with Aoyue, the two of them prepared various gifts and took the car to Ruan's mansion.

The Ruan family has been very busy in the past two days, the family is not enough, and they have recently hired a lot of servants and maids.

Ruan Xiaosi is now serving as a housekeeper, and he is responsible for ushering in the delivery at the door, and when he was busy working, he saw a large group of people coming over, and he knew that it was a big official coming by looking at the posture. When the guard of honor arrived outside the door, a couple got out of the car, it was Yue Su and Ruan Aoyue. Ruan Xiaosi hurriedly stepped forward to greet him, and said with a smile on his face: "The little one greets my aunt and young lady." ”

How big an official is Yue Su now, Ruan Xiaosi also inquired and understood, don't look at the old man, he doesn't dare to offend a current person.

Aoyue nodded and said, "I heard that my father is going to leave Beijing for Jizhen recently, so I came to see him off with my husband today, so I don't need to be polite if I want to come." ”

"Miss, the master has already explained, as long as the young lady comes, please come in immediately. It's just that my aunt ......," Ruan Xiaosi said with some embarrassment.

"Little four, what's wrong with my husband?"

The old man said...... If it's my aunt who comes...... No ...... will be entertained Where is he from...... Just go back to ......."

Ruan Xiaosi finally finished this sentence.
