When Jin Ruyan figured out that the horse dealer who fainted was actually an official of the Qipin Imperial Court, how could he be embarrassed? ! Finally, he fainted on the spot.

The two groups of Chinese and North Korean people immediately split up and finally woke up the two of them. After pouring a bowl of water, before Zhang Suihan could cry out, Jin Ruyan on the side began to shout, nothing more than that he didn't know the ins and outs, and he didn't even know how this Zhang Suihan got into his own care.

Hongyi patiently paused for a moment, and finally spoke:

"Lord Jin, at this time, freedom will not let you be wronged and ashamed. However, your roar is not my Chinese style! ”

"I ...... The lower official was out of shape...... "Jin Ruyan sat down like a deflated ball.

"Lord Shangshu, you happen to be the person in charge of the Criminal Department, how did this matter come about?" Hongyi kicked the ball to Tuhai.

"Lord Belle, the slave is presumptuous. However, according to the minion, the key to this is to find the scrivener. Tuhai replied.

"Yes, yes, I'll send someone to find him!" Jin Ruyan suddenly hit the hormone, and jumped up a hundred times more energetically to arrange.

Hum! It's true that you sent someone to find him, but you just wanted to report to him that he had absconded. In this case, isn't this matter dead and unproven? Don't! Hongyi thought to himself.

"Slow, this Jingshi is the imperial capital of my Heavenly Empire, so it is naturally more appropriate for us to send someone to find it. Don't be a Lady of Labor! Someone's coming! Hongyi was just about to arrange manpower, and finally heard a familiar response!

"The minions are here!" Haha, sure enough, it's a good guard I admire very much-Mara!

"Mara. Zhang Suihan found it! Thank you! Hongyi continued to play a good scene of zuihou.

"Back to Lord Belle, the slave went to Mule and Horse City to find Master Zhang, but he met an old acquaintance!"

"Oh? Who is it? Hongyi pretended to be strange.

"Bring it on!" Mara turned back and commanded.

"Huh!" With a sound of peace, the two imperial guards brought up two dejected men.

"Huh? Isn't this Ma Youdeok, a horse dealer in the mule and horse market, and King Yi Hyun, a Korean merchant? It was Ji Kaisheng who came out of his voice.

"Oh, so it was you? Lord Kim, is there your scrivener here?! "Hongyi finally took off his mask and returned to his true colors!

"Alas......" Jin Ruyan fell into his seat again and said nothing.

So far. Everything fell into place.

Originally. After a detailed "investigation" in the past few days, Zhang Suihan learned that this person who claimed to be a North Korean businessman was the scrivener of the North Korean mission, and his real name was Li Shimei. Actually, he is also an old translator. As early as the third year of Chongde (1638), he followed the Joseon thanksgiving envoy Choi Myeong-gil and the deputy envoy Kim Nam-chong to pay homage to Emperor Taizong. This has been exercised many times since then. He would travel to and from the Central Plains as a scrivener. And with the help of the horse dealer Ma Youde, he quietly got all the good horses he bought one after another into this Yuhe Pavilion, including the royal horse "gifted" by Hongyi.

After figuring out the basics. According to Hongyi's instructions, Zhang Suihan staged a "stealing the royal horse" with great fanfare the day before yesterday, but the result was naturally stolen by Li Shimei and imprisoned in the errand room of the annex as an ordinary horse dealer. Just wait for him to return to North Korea in a few days, and then release him, but it is expected that he will not be able to make much trouble. Poor Zhang Suihan, although there is no danger of life, but he also suffers from skin pain, but fortunately, this seven-grade petty official is still very backbone, and he has not revealed any real information from beginning to end.

And all this is naturally under the control of Hongyi. Guessing that Tuhai was going to see him, he arranged for Mara to prepare for acting in advance, and as soon as the scene was over, he first went to inform Ji Kaisheng and others, and then rushed to Luoma City, where Li Shimei and Ma Youde, who had been watched by the imperial guards for many days, and escorted them back to the Yuhe Pavilion.

A big drama came to an end smoothly.

Next, Shang Shutuhai of the Criminal Department simply changed the hall of the Yuhe Pavilion into a hall for his own questioning, and interrogated the ins and outs of the North Korean mission's smuggling of horses.

Although Li Shimei and others admitted that they had "privately bought" a few horses and detained Zhang Suihan, they insisted that they only bought horses to be used as pack horses, not "selling horses", and even argued that they did not know two things: they did not know that Zhang Suihan was an official of the imperial court, and they did not know that the good horse was a royal horse.

When Hongyi heard this, he smiled slightly, and angrily scolded Ji Kaisheng.

"Lord Tu, Xiaguan has a note in Korean here, which can prove that this scrivener is a bunch of nonsense!" Ji Kaisheng said, and took out the duplicate "Korean contract" from his sleeve.

"King Li Xian, oh no, Li Shimei, can I read it to you?" As soon as Hongyi was a little polite, he couldn't say that he read the note of the day in Korean, what to give a good horse, the remaining twenty high-headed war horses must be of the same quality as the gift, and twenty horses are one hundred and twenty taels each, a total of two thousand four hundred taels, and so on, it can be said that everything is comprehensive, and every drop is not leaky.

After reading Korean, Hongyi also translated Chinese and Manchu again, and then looked up and asked:

"Li Shimei, can I translate accurately?"

Seeing that Li Shimei was depressed and had no excuse, Hongyi ignored him anymore, but sent the contract text to Tuhai.

"Humph! Twenty-one royal horses, isn't that not a horse dealer? One hundred and twenty taels per horse, you are really a black-hearted profiteer! At this price, I can't even afford a mane of my Qing Dynasty imperial horse! The contract is written in Korean characters, and you naturally want to evade the inspection of my Qing Dynasty! Cunning! What else do you have to say? Tu Hai didn't wait for Li Shimei to speak, and continued:

"This royal horse is in good shape? Is it an ordinary income in the mule and horse market? Naturally, you are greedy for profit, unscrupulous, and pretending to be confused! Do you really think that my prince of the Qing Dynasty is one of those squishy sons and losers? ”

"As for not knowing that Zhang Suihan is an official of the imperial court, the laws of this dynasty have long been clearly stated, saying: The military and civilians beat up the officials and non-officials, if they meet, they will be asked according to the law, and they will be exiles!" Speaking of this, Tuhai paused and added word by word:

"What's more, Zhang Suihan, the pen post style of the firearms battalion, is to be ordered to handle the case!"

As soon as these words came out, several North Koreans knew that the general trend had gone, and they knelt on the ground one after another, and after hearing this, they fell to the ground.

However, remembering that the people who exercised the law were envoys of the subject country, it was not good to rashly lock them out of prison before reporting to the emperor, Zuihou Tuhai just left forty soldiers of the criminal department in the Yuhe Pavilion as guards, and did not allow these people to move freely. However, Ma Youde, a horse dealer who was originally a citizen of the Qing Dynasty, was escorted back to the prison of the Criminal Department first, and waited for his fate.

When Hongyi accompanied Tu Hai out of the main hall of the Yuhe Pavilion, he said meaningfully:

"Don't think that you can apologize for your sins by dying. If something happens to you, the DPRK will be worried. Let's think for yourself. Take care! ”

Out of the Yuhe Pavilion, Hongyi first thanked Min Xu and Yang Yongjian for making a special trip to compose poems and sing before the palace examination, paralyzing the enemy and delaying time, and the two of them were also very useful, and he was even more grateful to Little Belle Ye for giving him a chance to serve the court, befriend the emperor, and get acquainted with Shangshu. After some politeness, the two of them had to say goodbye first.

"Wait a minute, both of you! Xuan Ye hasn't had time to officially introduce you to Lord Haitu, the Great Talent of this Dynasty! Hongyi stopped him and looked at Tuhai with a hippie smile.

"How dare you! Tuhai is ashamed until! When Tuhai heard this, he was complacent, but his mouth was modest.

"The grass people meet the scholars!" The two of them are going to make a big salute under the leadership of Min Xu, and this rhetoric is naturally dominated by Min Xu, and Yang Yongjian just echoes it.

"The two tributes don't have to be more profitable, this official wishes the two gold list titles!" In front of Hongyi, Tu Hai naturally had to condescend.

"My lord, these two tributes were met by Xuan Ye when he was ordered to thoroughly investigate the Korean merchants and smugglers of horses, they are all young talents, and they are waiting for the palace examination in a few days, as you wish, the title of the gold list is inscribed!" Hongyi added with a smile.

"Haha, I just had a poem and song with the North Korean envoy, and I really have an extraordinary feeling! This official admires! Tuhai followed with a word of praise.

"I don't know if any of the adults who are the examiners of the palace this time are familiar with you?" Hongyi died and begged Bai Laide to lead to the topic.

"This ...... The minion ...... "Tuhai is so embarrassed!" What are you going to do, my little master? Bribing the examiner in advance is not possible?

"My lord, Xuan Ye lives in the palace, and the ministers of the court and the central government can't make friends all over the place. The lord is an important minister of the court, if Min and Yang are the two tributes who are in the gold list of the day, they can also walk under you, and Xuan Ye can naturally learn a lot from it......" Hongyi wanted to speak and stopped.

"Oh, haha, I see. The minions understood. The slave has some friendship with Fu Yi, a scholar of the University of the National Academy of History. Tu Hai understood, he wanted to bring these two more by himself, because they were the master's people!

Fu Yigradually? That's great! This can be the first literary champion of the Manchu Qing Dynasty, the so-called generation of famous ministers! Hongyi has been to his hometown of Liaocheng, Shandong, and knows a little about Fu Yiji's story: he was born poor, but he was talented, intelligent, diligent and hardworking, well-read, and remembered history, and eventually became a great tool. Fu Yi gradually became the champion, but he did his best, worked hard, and finally became known for his diligence and honesty. According to historical records, in the winter of 1657 (the fourteenth year of Shunzhi), due to the illness of the queen mother, there was a backlog of more than 800 pieces in two months. He once traveled with Shunzhi, and was seen by Shunzhi when he rode a donkey to return to the account, so he made a royal painting, and Fu Lin personally inscribed "the champion returned to the donkey like flying". This painting is hidden by the descendants of the Fu family in their former residence in Liaocheng "Imperial Painting Building".

said a thousand ways and ten thousand, and the most critical point, this Fu Yijian is one of the teachers of Emperor Kangxi in the official history!

"I'll wait for you, Lord Xie Tu!" As soon as Hongyi commanded, the two young talents behind him were overjoyed and hurriedly slammed to the ground.

The two tributes who sent away a thousand thanks, Hongyi, Tuhai, Ji Kaisheng, and even Zhang Suihan, who were the seventh-grade pen post of the firearms battalion, went directly to the Forbidden City.

Of course, Lord Zhang Suihan, who was still "covered in bruises" just now and fainted for a while, is already refreshed and walking like flying at this moment! It turned out that it was all the makeup techniques that Xiao Gongzi learned from the palace maid, and he temporarily smeared some "Dongdong" as a decorative effect! (To be continued......)
