Chapter 246: Cheng Biting Jin's Gaffe
Sitting in the carriage back to Chang'an City, Jia Zhiyuan was still in a daze. The prisoners he has faced, not to mention 8,000 children, when it is the least, there are 800 children in 1,000. However, he really had never seen such a person as today. He really can't figure it out, a lot of questions can't figure it out.
"Hehe, it doesn't matter, anyway, he doesn't have a concession and makes wine privately, that's a fact. Besides, as long as you have this confession in hand, everything is easy to say. ”
Although this matter is strange everywhere, it makes Jia Zhiyuan feel very uneasy. However, when he saw the confession in his hand with Li Feng's handprint, he was really relieved.
The only thing that made him a little dissatisfied was that in this confession, it was just that Li Feng did know the prince, and the prince had indeed been to the craftsman village, and the prince also knew about the winemaking, and he had personally gone into the winemaking room to make wine. Other than that, there was nothing else, and it was not directly said that the prince was the boss behind this brewing workshop.
However, this is enough, although it is not explicitly stated, but it is no different from explicitly stated.
When the time comes, as long as he, Jia Zhiyuan, presents this confession, and then it is best to bring the witness to the court, and when he asks about it, it will be ironclad evidence, and no one can say anything. As for the rest, it's none of his business, Jia Zhiyuan. How to further investigate and collect evidence, naturally someone else will do it.
"Well, this prisoner's divine power is a little troublesome. Hehe, but as soon as he enters the palace, he has great ability, and it won't help. Those masters are not vegetarians. Besides, no matter how strong he is, he can still block a strong bow and arrows. ”
Thinking of Li Feng's divine power, Jia Zhiyuan was also smacking his tongue and worried, but. Soon, he was relieved again. The guards in the palace are not these officials. It's hard to do it, and I can't help it, but he can't do it.
"I can't believe that we still have the opportunity to enjoy such treatment. In the past, we have always been a law-abiding five good citizens, but I didn't expect to return to the Tang Dynasty and get some wine to drink. It's also a crime. Don't you just want to get Lao Tzu through the emperor, Lao Tzu this time, let you be satisfied. ”
"Hehe, I didn't expect this. even involved the kid Cheng Qian. It seems that this thing is very likely to be caused by Li Tai's little bastard. When I left yesterday, the little fat man's eyes were very unfriendly. It's really insidious enough, I want to kill two birds with one stone. ”
Li Feng sat in the carriage and looked at the chains in his hands. There was a wry smile all of a sudden, but fortunately, I didn't take any prisoner car or anything like that. Now, in his heart. There is already one of the most suspicious objects, and that is the little fat man who came yesterday, Li Tai.
He is the only one who has this motive. There is this condition. Plus, through Li Feng's observations. identified this person's character, as well as the dissatisfaction that flashed in his eyes when he left yesterday. In addition, Jia Zhiyuan intentionally or unintentionally involved this prince, which illustrates this point even more.
That confession was indeed signed by Li Feng. Since people need it, of course Li Feng will not be stingy and make this matter more satisfying to others.
Tai Chi Hall, at this time is holding a court meeting. Li Shimin sat high on it and listened to the report on the situation related to the flood below. Although, hearing those lost data made Li Shimin feel distressed for a while, relatively speaking, his mood was still very good. This time, the loss is more trivial than in the past, and the root is not worth mentioning.
"Your Majesty, this disaster relief, under the command of His Royal Highness the Crown Prince, can be described as an unprecedented success. There were no surprises. Although the price of grain in various places has increased slightly, it is not large. There was no disturbance among the people in various places, and the people affected everywhere were grateful to the court and deeply felt the grace of God. ”
With the eldest grandson Wuji, after making the final summary, Li Shimin's face became more and more happy. Although, he knew that there was an element of exaggeration in the words of the eldest grandson Wuji, and he exaggerated the prince's merits. However, he was still very happy, after all, it was his son who praised him, the crown prince.
Besides, in the process of disaster relief this time, this prince is also conscientious, and he has indeed grown a lot longer than in the past, and there are many commendable points.
"Ladies and gentlemen, this flood can reduce the loss to such a low level, which can be described as a blessing in misfortune. This disaster relief not only reduced the losses of this flood, but even in the future, it can be handled in the future. Meritorious service must be rewarded, there must be punishment, rewards and punishments must be clear, and how to reward them will be presented until the charter is presented."
Of course, there will be no objection to such a happy thing. Besides, the effect of this disaster relief is there, even if some people have something unhappy in their hearts, they can only hold it in their hearts.
"Your Majesty, Jia Zhiyuan in the Imperial History, ask for Jin to see"
At this moment, a eunuch hurriedly ran in and said. Li Shimin and other ministers took a closer look at Jia Zhiyuan's location, and sure enough, there was no one. However, everyone quickly pretended to be fine. The early dynasty was delayed and late, which is also a common thing. However, although everyone looked calm, they began to mumble in their hearts, thinking, I don't know who is bad luck this time, and I met this fly-like Jia Zhiyuan.
"Let him in"
When Li Shimin heard Jia Zhiyuan, he was slightly stunned, and immediately asked people to announce him in, knowing that this time, he must be a participating official. To be honest, sometimes, this Jia Zhiyuan is also a headache for Li Shimin. To put it mildly, this guy is like a vicious dog, that is, he will bite whoever he catches. It's more like a fly, where there is a gap, it immediately pounces on it. For this reason, Li Shimin wiped his ass a lot.
However, Li Shimin needs people like him. Thinking of Jia Zhiyuan, Li Shimin took another look at Wei Zheng below, this one was also a headache for him. But fortunately, this Wei Zheng is much stronger than that Jia Zhiyuan, although he is also very stubborn, and he is unforgiving, which often makes him unable to step down as an emperor. But he will not act recklessly and without foresight like that Jia Zhiyuan.
"Your Majesty, the ministers have a participation."
Jia Zhiyuan soon trotted in in a hurry, and as soon as he came in, he immediately asked Li Shimin for instructions. Maybe I ran too fast and sweated profusely.
"Jia Aiqing is exempt, this time, which officials will Jia Aiqing impeach."
Every time Jia Zhiyuan participates, he will always impeach an official. After all, this is his job. Therefore, although Li Shimin's words are a bit direct, he is not wrong. It's just that this Jia Zhiyuan, when he does things, he is all big and small, and he often comes at once, and he is a good official.
Perhaps, Li Shimin is really in a good mood today, and he even joked a little.
"Your Majesty, today's Wechen, the reason why I came here at this time is because Wechen received a secret report that someone had disregarded the prohibition of alcohol and made wine privately. Therefore, early in the morning, Weichen took someone to investigate the matter, and found that it was indeed the case, and the prisoner has been arrested. However, what shocked Wei Chen was that there was another hidden story in the matter of opening a private wine shop this time, and there was evidence that this matter was related to His Royal Highness the Prince. ”
Jia Zhiyuan couldn't manage so much now, so he began to report things slowly.
Everyone thought that this time, it must be nothing more than the collusion between officials and businessmen to enrich their own pockets. Unexpectedly, the person Jia Zhiyuan said in his mouth turned out to be the prince. Now, this matter is not a trivial matter, but a monstrous event. If at this time, it is really related to the crown prince...... The expressions on the faces of all the people began to change at this time. Even Li Shimin's expression has changed, but he quickly regained his calm, but he became very serious.
"Your Majesty, I think that there are loopholes in Lord Jia's investigation. Let's ask, the prince is the prince of the country, and no matter how poor the East Palace is, he shouldn't be so poor that he wants to sell bars. You don't think so, Lord Jia. ”
After everyone was shocked for a while, they began to ponder. It's just that the things I think about are very different. However, there is one person who is in a hurry, and this person is the eldest grandson Wuji. You must know that he has always stood firmly on Li Chengqian's side. If Li Chengqian falls, his years of hard work will be in vain.
Moreover, he absolutely did not believe that this matter would be related to the crown prince, it was ridiculous. Could it be that the prince is so poor that he has to buy wine?
When everyone heard this, they immediately looked at Jia Zhiyuan, thinking, yes, this matter, if you think about it carefully, it is indeed a bit ridiculous, selling wine can make a few dollars. Even if the alcohol ban is a ban and the price of alcohol rises, it is very interesting, but the family is the prince, and there is no shortage of thousands of children.
Only Li Shimin heard the words of the eldest grandson Wuji, and his face was unnatural. I thought to myself, although I can't be so poor as to sell wine, I, as the emperor, am not doing this business.
"Well...... Mo won't be ......"
I don't know what Li Shimin thought, a trace of uneasiness began to appear on his face, and then he stared at Jia Zhiyuan tightly, wanting to hear him continue.
"Lord Eldest Sun should have heard of it, Erguotou is a bar. As for its price, I don't think there is much to say. This is no small business. ”
Regarding the sarcasm of the eldest grandson Wuji, Jia Zhiyuan did not pay attention to it at all. He also knew that he would definitely encounter all kinds of difficulties on his trip today, but he had already prepared. The facts are in front of you, and whoever comes, it's useless.
"Erguotou ......"
"What? The second pot head ......"
Suddenly, above the court, two very surprised voices suddenly sounded. The previous sentence, of course, was issued by the eldest grandson Wuji. And in the latter sentence, the voice was obviously much louder, and when everyone took a closer look, it turned out to be Cheng Biting Jin. Moreover, a very strange look appeared on Cheng Yanjin's face.
"Hehe, what do you all see me doing, I don't believe it, you haven't drunk this wine, it's true."
Seeing that everyone was looking at him, Cheng Yanjin knew that he had lost his temper, so he began to speak.
