Chapter 246: Serial
Jiang Wenbin received the errand of the Qin mission, and he was about to leave Beijing, the time was tight, and there were quite a lot of things, so after dinner, he submitted his farewell to Mrs. Mu.
However, Jiang Wenbin said goodbye to Mrs. Mu, but did not leave the Mu family, but followed Mr. Sun back to the front yard study of Anguo Mansion.
Mr. Sun summoned all the staff members who remained in Beijing, and several people talked in the study for a long time behind closed doors, and it was not until the middle of the moon that Jiang Wenbin said goodbye and left the Mu family.
"My lord will leave early in the morning after tomorrow, I can't send him off, just say goodbye," Mr. Sun stood at the corner gate of Anguo Mansion and arched his hand towards Jiang Wenbin: "I wish you a smooth journey." ”
"Thank you, Mr. Sun." Jiang Wenbin nodded at Mr. Sun: "The letter items that the house wants to bring to the north will be sent directly to my house tomorrow and handed over to my wife." ”
"Please, sir." Mr. Sun waved his hand and bid farewell to Jiang Wenbin, and did not turn around until he watched his sedan disappear at the intersection.
Jiang Wenbin went to Anguo Mansion before dusk, and when he got home, it was already at the right time, but he didn't expect that at such a late hour, there were still visitors waiting for him at home.
This visitor is none other than Xie Changjing.
"But I'm back." As soon as Xie Changjing saw Jiang Wenbin, he shook his head: "If you don't come back, my sister-in-law will drive me away." ”
"Why are you here?" Jiang Wenbin was stunned for a moment: "I'm ...... today"
"I know," Xie Changjing hurriedly said without waiting for Jiang Wenbin to finish: "I was ordered to go to the north." That's what I'm here for. ”
"Master Xie Xiang's advice?" Jiang Wenbin didn't go around in circles, and asked very bluntly.
"I took the few paid guards in my house to the Yamen to report to the official today," Xie Changjing said, "I guess you don't know." After you received the decree, you must not have thought about anything else, and you are busy going to the north. ”
"I really don't know," Jiang Wenbin shook his head, but he was a smart man, and quickly figured out the trick: "You plan to use the ordnance case?" ”
"Yes." Xie Changjing nodded: "I reported to the official that the people in the house in Tongjiu Lane were the masterminds who murdered my daughter. In the past, the Gyeonggi Yamen's errand 'happened' to find that the owner of the house had a large number of swords hidden in his possession, and at this juncture, the case involving ordnance was not dared to be suppressed by the Gyeongzhao Yamen, and it was necessary to report it. ”
"Whose house is that?" Jiang Wenbin asked.
"Li Xiang's family raises the private residence of the head of the guard." Xie Changjing replied.
"Are you sure you have a hidden sword?" Jiang Wenbin frowned: "How can the guards have no blades, the guards of the Li Xiang family must have the permission issued by the government, just like the guards of your family." ”
"There is permission," Xie Changjing snorted coldly: "The government's permission only allows the guards to hold swords when they are on errands, but it does not allow a large amount of weapons to be collected and stored. ”
"You got someone to set those ordnance in advance?" Jiang Wenbin asked, "You are confused! Where is it so easy to plant a false accusation? Do you think those people in Dali Temple are so foolish? You're not afraid to put yourself in it without a heart. At this juncture, if people know that you got those weapons, do you think the emperor can spare your Xie family? ”
"Who did I set it up?" Xie Changjing smiled: "You are also from a big family, how many guards does your Tanzhou Jiang family's family have, and all the swords used will be reported to the official for registration?" ”
One sentence stunned Jiang Wenbin. When he was at home, he only read the books of the sages, and he didn't really care about these chores, so he really didn't know how to manage the swords of the guards at home.
Xie Changjing was not surprised at all when he saw Jiang Wenbin's stunned appearance: "You, you really don't listen to things outside the window, and only read sage books." Many large families are worried that the guards hired from outside will not be reassuring, so they all privately train the guards to follow, and you know how many swords are needed to train the guards in large numbers? ”
"Are you ......" Jiang Wenbin frowned: "In this way, not only do you have swords that have not been registered in Li Xiang's mansion, but also all families in Beijing, and your family is no exception." ”
"Yes, my family is no exception," Xie Chang Jingle said: "If this thing is normal, it is actually not a big deal, every family is like this." But now this is not the case, the Holy Lord has strictly ordered the inspection of smuggling and smuggling of weapons, and these blades that have not been registered by the official can become a problem. Therefore, after the dispersal of the court today, many courtiers hurried home, and they were busy cleaning up their backyards first, so as not to be wronged. ”
"Are you those blades in Tongjiu Lane, and Li Xiang himself sent them over?" Jiang Wenbin immediately grasped the point.
"Yes!" Xie Changjing nodded with a smile: "Pang Rong went home for a while to clean up the unregistered blades, and I went to the official office immediately after receiving the news. The time was just right, and when I took the officials of Jingzhao Yamen to Tongjiu Lane, Li Xiang's 'inventory' was just over. ”
"What about your family," Jiang Wenbin asked, "You yourself came forward to report the official, aren't you afraid that Li Xiang will also stare at you?" ”
"The Ordnance Case Department is in charge, where does he have the leisure to keep an eye on my family," Xie Changjing looked indifferent: "Again, I went to report to the official, not to report that he had hidden weapons in his house, but for the murder of my daughter." It's only to blame Li Xiang's bad luck with the head of the guard. He listened to Li Xiang's order and hurriedly cleaned up the unregistered swords, but he couldn't transport them out of the city to destroy them for a while. It was not safe to run around the streets with so many swords, so I had to hide those blades separately in the private houses of a few guards, who probably wanted to wait for the black queen to deal with it, but they didn't expect to be 'just happened' to be bumped into by me. ”
"Is your house clean?" Jiang Wenbin asked: "You can be regarded as officially tearing your face with Li Xiang now, and your heart is wonderful." ”
"Don't worry," Xie Changjing replied, "Since I dare to do this, I am not afraid of being caught by him." And just relying on such cleverness, it is impossible to bring down Li Xiang, it is very easy for Li Xiang to get rid of it, as long as the guard chief is thrown out as a scapegoat, presumably Dali Temple will not be embarrassed by him. That's why I chose to report here just to distract him. Today's trick mainly falls on Lin Xiang. ”
"Lin Xiang?" Jiang Wenbin was slightly stunned: "What?" ”
"The arms smuggling case came out of the Chunzhou Mansion, and He Wenmao, who is the Yin of the Chunzhou Mansion, can't get out of it," Xie Changjing replied: "He is a student of Lin Xiang." In order to exonerate his students, Lin Xiang dragged the military department into the water in front of the emperor in the court, and Li Xiang probably hated Lin Xiang to death at this time. ”
"In this way," Jiang Wenbin frowned: "The private crime against the ordnance was originally only in Chunzhou, not as the document issued today said, it happened all over the country?" ”
