This is the mansion of Jia Zhiyuan in the imperial history, the second in command of the imperial history, and the second-in-command of the imperial history. Although this grade is not very high, just a fifth-grade official, however, the Manchu Dynasty is all polite to him. You're welcome? Yushitai, that is the institution that supervises hundreds of officials, offending the second-in-command of this Yushitai, isn't it uncomfortable for yourself.

However, although the military officials have treated him with courtesy, Jia Zhiyuan has always been very unhappy. As his name suggests, he has great ambitions. He doesn't want a house full of gold and silver, he doesn't want beautiful women, or even for high-ranking officials, these things are not worth mentioning in his eyes, he has a higher pursuit.

That is, he has always thought that he must be famous through the ages. Compared to this, what is the point of those other things, which are not brought with them in life or in death?

Therefore, since he was appointed as the official of Yushitai, he has been conscientious and painstaking in his work, and he does not accept anyone's banquets, let alone anyone's gifts, and even, except for his work, he rarely interacts with anyone. The so-called cannibalistic mouth is short, the hand of the person is short, and if he does not socialize, then there is no sophistication at all, and when the time comes, he can have no scruples, he can participate in whomever he wants, and he can get whomever he wants.

was so conscientious and loyal to his duties, and soon this merit came out, not only was he praised by the emperor countless times, but this position also soared like a rocket. It doesn't matter if he is promoted or not, but the emperor's commendation made him excited, as if he had been beaten with chicken blood, and his eyes were staring at every move of Wu Baiguan. As long as there is any place where there is a traitor, he will get those officials directly to the court at a very fast speed, without mentioning the slightest affection.

And so it goes. Of course, he will offend many people, but he doesn't care, as long as he can get a good name and a big reputation, he doesn't care about anything. Fortunately, the emperor admired his discipline very much, and sometimes, even if it was a mistake. The emperor will not blame him either. Even, sometimes, because he was too stiff with other officials, the emperor would also help to make peace.

It stands to reason that this is good. has a reputation, hundreds of officials are respectful, and the emperor is still so loving and supportive, this official is comfortable enough.

However, Jia Zhongcheng has always had a bad time in his heart, because. There has always been a person who has covered his name, and he has just made some starlight, and the sky is immediately full of moonlight. The world can't see him Jia Zhiyuan. This person is his immediate boss, Yu Shi Dafu, Wei Zheng.

For Wei Zheng. He really has nothing to say, he admires. But. He was not convinced, and often said that Wei Zheng was just lucky, and he just encountered those big things, if it was replaced by him Jia Zhiyuan, he would be able to do the same, and he would not hesitate to speak out, or even die.

In fact, how did he know that he and Wei Zheng were 108,000 miles apart. He didn't want to think about why Wei Zheng was always able to grasp the key to the matter and make a big name. And he's always a little bit of a fight. Two people, that root is not a grade.

Of course, he will never be aware of this thing, and even if he does, he will definitely think that it is fake.

However, the sky pays off, and today, he Jia Zhongcheng has finally waited for a good opportunity. At this time, he was listening to the report of one of his subordinates, the Overseer of the Imperial History.

"What, you mean that the main culprit in this matter is still related to the prince?"

At first, when Jia Zhiyuan heard that it was just someone who violated the prohibition and made wine privately, he felt tasteless for a while. In particular, this is just a group of mountain and wild village husbands, and they can't wait to reprimand them directly. They are the imperial history platform, not the county government. However, fortunately, judging from his experience, this matter must be another collusion between officials and businessmen and favoritism. Otherwise, how many mountain village men have such courage? Besides, this subordinate will not be bored to treat him as a county magistrate to tease him.

At first, he thought that it was nothing more than some officials the size of mung beans who were involved in this matter. He is not interested in such a thing, he can do it if he wants to.

Who knows, he actually heard the word prince from the mouth of this subordinate, which immediately surprised and delighted him. Then, he stared at the person in front of him and asked.

"After receiving the secret report, Xia Guan sent someone to check it, and after careful investigation, His Royal Highness the Crown Prince has indeed been there a few times recently. As for what he was going to do, in order to avoid startling the snake, the lower officials did not dare to investigate it carefully. However, it is a fact that they are now privately opening a winery to make wine, which can be confirmed. Therefore, Xia Guan specially came to ask Lord Zhongcheng for instructions on whether to investigate carefully, after all, this matter is about the crown prince."

The superintendent of the imperial history was bowing his head at the moment and said very respectfully. It's just that there was some flickering and some fear in those eyes.

"No, no, you can't startle the snake. You don't want to think about it, the prince is so dignified, what he is doing in this poor country. There must be an ulterior secret in this. However, this prince privately opened a winery to make wine, it seems that it can't be said, shouldn't it? ”

As soon as he thought that he would startle the snake, Jia Zhiyuan immediately hurriedly said. However, suddenly, he felt that no, the prince should not lack these two small money.

"Well, this subordinate has already checked, and the subordinate ordered someone to secretly follow their delivery carriage and found that their wine was sent to Cui Ji Restaurant. The subordinates took advantage of the fact that no one was free, and secretly went in to check it, and found that this was not ordinary wine, but a second pot head"

Hearing Jia Zhiyuan's question, the superintendent Yushi was stunned for a moment, but then immediately answered.

"Two pot heads? That's right, it's definitely right. These two pots are consistent every catty, and there is a saying on the outside, which is called golden wine. In this way, it is a big deal. That's right, that's definitely it. Well, you immediately go and dispatch the people, set off now, remember, the manpower must be sufficient, if those people make trouble, they should not be underestimated. Then, he led the team to set off immediately. Forget it, let's go there in person."

As soon as he heard that it was the second pot, Jia Zhiyuan immediately realized for a while, if this is the case, it makes sense. It's a very expensive thing.

Now, he has decided that he must have nothing to do with the prince at this time, so he was impatient and decided to take someone to get someone immediately.

"My lord, I'm afraid this won't work, it's dark now."

Seeing Jia Zhiyuan, he actually said that he would go and get someone now, and the superintendent of the imperial history said very embarrassed.

"It is important to arrest the prisoner, not to mention that it is dark, even if it is snowing heavily and knives are fired, it is not to be hesitated. What are you doing in a daze, why don't you hurry up and gather people?"

As soon as Jia Zhiyuan heard the other party's words, he immediately said angrily.

This matter is about the crown prince, who has been waiting for countless years, and finally let him wait for such a good opportunity. At that time, if this matter is really done, it doesn't matter what punishment the prince receives, or even whether he is punished or not. The key is that he, Jia Zhiyuan, is not afraid of imperial power, and has a reputation for handling cases impartially, but he can really spread all over the world.

Therefore, he couldn't wait for half a minute, if he let the other party hear any rumors and destroy the evidence, he would be happy in vain and miss such an eternal opportunity. When the time comes, he can't find a place to cry if he wants to. Therefore, it doesn't matter if it's day or night.

"My lord, that's not what Xia Guan meant. My lord, you think, the so-called catching thieves and catching stolen goods, catching traitors and catching doubles. Now, on this big night, people have already stopped working, and if we run, we won't be able to catch other people's evidence. People can say that those objects were there some time ago, before the prohibition was issued, and we are not in a rut. When the time comes, we won't be able to produce any evidence that people are making wine in violation of the ban, and then we will get into big trouble."

Hearing Jia Zhiyuan's angry reprimand, the superintendent of the imperial history hurriedly began to explain.

"Oops, it seems that the official is eager to handle the case, and he is in a hurry. Indeed, what you said is not wrong at all, even if we go over and get those brewing utensils and the like, people can get rid of it. After all, this prohibition was issued only a few days ago. When the time comes, if there is no evidence, someone in the court will definitely say that we have acted beyond our authority, or even without any evidence, we will handle the case indiscriminately, and when the time comes, it will be really bad. ”

Hearing the other party's reminder, Jia Zhiyuan immediately came to his senses, and secretly scolded himself for being in a hurry and too much to breathe. When the time comes, if they can't get the evidence, those people will definitely deny it. When the time comes, let alone the prince, I'm afraid that when the time comes, the prince's side will have to make the first effort and fight a rake.

"Well, I'm glad you've thought it through, I think so. Tonight, don't go back, just stay in the government mansion for one night. Wait until tomorrow morning, we will immediately take people and go straight to the scene. When the time comes, everyone will get the stolen goods, and then they will have no choice but not to confess. In the end, when the human and material evidence is there, the official will go directly to the court, face to the saint, and when the time comes...... Okay, let's do it. Come and arrange a room. ”

Jia Zhiyuan, after thinking about it for a while, immediately made arrangements. In the end, he directly asked the superintendent who came to report to live in his mansion. Although, verbally to facilitate tomorrow's action, in fact, the heart is worried that he will leak secrets. The so-called is, if you are not afraid of 10,000, you are afraid of what if, in case he suddenly becomes greedy, it is difficult to say. Anyway, he absolutely can't afford to lose in this matter.

"This ...... Thank you, Lord Zhongcheng."

The inspector of the imperial history was stunned for a moment, and his expression was a little unnatural, but then he also readily accepted Jia Zhiyuan's arrangement.

"Hehe, it's finally here, it's finally a good opportunity for me to wait. Sure enough, the sky lives up to the heart, and the sky lives up to me."

After everyone left, Jia Zhiyuan's face was full of excitement, and he kept muttering.
