Chapter 103: The Scourge of Raiding the House
In the Xianwang Mansion, the cold sun on Mo is warm for a winter, and the swallows in front of the court are prosperous for one year.
The interior of the Xianwang Mansion is much more elegant than the magnificent appearance. Now it is the cold moon of midwinter, but the trees in the Xianwang Mansion are lush, the cold plum has not bloomed, but the branches are frost and snow, and at first glance it looks like a dwarf pear. After the plum branch, there is a piece of green bamboo, which adds to the green energy of the courtyard.
Gu Jin was about to walk into the hall, but he ran into a person.
A pair of warm jade drunken eyes, with a folding fan that never leaves his hand in all seasons.
Gu Jin exchanged hands and bowed slightly.
Shang Guyuan hurriedly picked up the steps, but he didn't dare to help her, so he only said repeatedly: "You can't do it, otherwise Your Highness will kill me." ”
Gu Jin was stunned for a moment, looked sideways, and looked at Lu Guitang with an expression of "it's good if you know".
She had a blank eye in her heart, and there was nothing she could do about it.
The three of them took advantage of the situation and entered the house.
I don't know if Shang Guyuan has a heart, and he has already prepared warm carbon in the warm pavilion.
It's freezing outside, but it's warm inside.
Gu Jin sat down and immediately asked about one thing that she had always been concerned about:
"The matter of Kangfu's raid was secretly manipulated by the young prince Shang?"
The corners of Shang Guyuan's mouth froze with a smile, but he turned his gaze to Lu Guitang, and when he saw Lu Guitang's expression of "this matter has nothing to do with me", he turned his gaze back.
He smiled at Gu Jin: "Yes, yes." ”
Gu Jin raised his eyebrows, wanting to hear the cause and effect of the matter.
Dazhen was plagued by external troubles, and everyone's attention was on the Gui tribe in Shuobei, which was constantly making trouble in the north, and few people set their eyes on the court.
In recent years, although the saint has the heart to calm the world, he is a little powerless, and the court has begun to decay from the inside.
The saint can't be blamed for this.
Dazhen was founded for more than 200 years, and the implementation has always been the gate valve system, and the glory of the parents can prosper for thousands of generations.
Even if there are really a few outstanding ones, they have been raised by the family with high energy consumption to be sneaky and slippery, and they are flamboyant.
Although Kang Ping was a civil official when he was in office, he received a lot of money from others, and I don't know how many people helped buy through the career path, fortunately, this person did not serve in the household department, otherwise the treasury would be emptied by him.
His son Kang Bochen was quite capable, and was appreciated by Ning Guogong, and then he was promoted to the post of washing horses.
The Kang family is getting greedier and greedier day by day.
If they stopped and stopped, only greedy for a little money every day, and didn't provoke the saint's nose, this matter would not have caused trouble, but this Kang Ping had the idea of Gu Jin.
Or maybe Gu Jin's mother-in-law, He Shi, found Kang Ping.
It can be regarded as their Kang family's bad luck.
Shang Guyuan's father used to serve in the household department, although he is now promoted to the governor of salt affairs, but the merchant has some relationship with the household department, what is the place of the household department, and the place where the silver goes in and out.
With Shang Guyuan's connections, it is much easier to find out the evidence of corruption and bribery of Kang Ping's father and son from the household department than to let him find the sycamore wood.
But although it was easy to check, it was a little troublesome to check, Shang Guyuan stayed in the household department for a few days and nights, and finally left the household department with a stack of account books.
Those account books add up to more than a million taels of snowflake silver, which is more than the combined age of their father and son!
Shang Guyuan took these account books to find the official book, the man was quite loyal and honest, and when he saw that the person who came was the little son of the merchant, he knew that this matter was the benefit of King Xian, and he did not dare to delay, so he hurriedly wrote down the impeachment of Kang Ping and Kang Bochen.
Unexpectedly, it snowed early the next morning, and the Holy Lord canceled the morning pilgrimage.
At this point, Lu Guitang listened with interest, and smiled lazily: "If it had been smooth yesterday, there would have been no farce today." ”
He was referring to Gu Jin's exit from the cabinet, and he had to show up to intercept her.
Gu Jin had never spoken, but when he heard Lu Guitang's words, he frowned, and said something serious: "The saint said that the prince is not allowed to interfere in politics, but you don't say anything about interfering in this matter, and you personally handed over the song to the saint, and if you investigate it afterwards, I am afraid you will have to bear the responsibility." ”
Lu Guitang's hand holding his chin moved, and he couldn't help but be stunned for a while, Shang Guyuan saw him like this, and hurriedly put down the fan and waved his hand, explaining: "This is not what I said." ”
Lu Guitang chuckled: "You haven't seen her again, how could it be what you said." Her brain, I always forget. ”
This was said inexplicably, Shang Guyuan didn't understand, and pondered to himself, but heard Lu Guitang ask Gu Jin again: "How do you know that I entered the palace." ”
Gu Jin smiled, reached out and took a sip of the hot tea handed over by the maid who came in, and then opened his mouth to solve the doubts of the two of them: "You didn't climb the roof last night." When these words came out, Lu Guitang's face couldn't help but darken, but he didn't interrupt Gu Jin, only listened to her continue: "At such a critical time, you are calm, which is unusual. At first, I thought that you had gone out of the city to find my father, but I didn't know that you still had a hand in punishing the Kang family, and if I had known, I would have guessed that you entered the palace last night. ”
Shang Guyuan raised his eyebrows, and also took a sip of the teacup, and suddenly felt very interesting, listening to the second miss of the Gu family was very interesting.
Shang Guyuan finished drinking the tea, smacked his lips by the way, and then asked again: "Then how did Miss Gu guess it?" ”
Gu Jin smiled and continued: "Today, my housewife is in a hurry, and it will not be too late to send me to the sedan chair. ”
This is a good thing to say, if the official department Shangshu impeached Kang Bochen was handed over to the court in the morning, the saint had to consult with the officials in the court, and he would have to issue an order to raid the house, and when the officials of the criminal department received the order to go to the Kangfu in the south of the city, I am afraid it would have been noon.
When Gu Jin and Lu Guitang rode back, they caught a glimpse of the Kang Mansion from a distance, and there was only a mess left in front of the door, which showed that the Kang Mansion that Lu Guitang said on the long street was being raided.
After hearing this, Shang Guyuan finally closed the folding fan and understood.
I thought that Lu Guitang didn't go last night because of Gu Jiangyuan's letter, but today I saw that he didn't leave the city, so it could only be for the impeachment of Kang Bochen's father and son.
Dazhen's inner court opened the palace door at five o'clock, closed the palace door from time to time, and Gu Jin stayed in the palace, and she was quite clear about these rules.
Only when he entered the palace yesterday afternoon could he be delayed in the palace and failed to leave the palace before the second hour, which caused him to miss the great opportunity to visit Gu Jin last night. This is the only reasonable explanation that Gu Jinsi has come up with after thinking about it.
