Chapter 259: The drunkard's intention is not to drink
Rong Ji intercepted Zhuang Siyan, of course, not to express his envy, so after getting such a reply from her, he only silently replied to her in his heart, and then continued.
"To say, the civil and military forces of this Manchu Dynasty are not as powerful as Master Si, and they are worrying about the emperor inside and out!"
Zhuang Siyan had gradually heard his signs, and replied to him with a smile: "Yes, Lord Rong also wants it, inside and out, waiting for the emperor?" ”
She deliberately accentuated the words "inside and out", and also picked Rong Ji, and even made this treacherous and cunning old minister's face red.
Zhuang Siyan is not the woman he can imagine, of course, such a woman will not take the emperor's case, since she has done this kind of thing, she can follow the general to his house to eat, so she is not afraid to scold him a few words.
Rong Ji was a little worried in his heart, but his years of experience in the court still made him stabilize the field, and he approached Zhuang Siyan and whispered: "Concubine Wanniang, you are really a great person, but have you ever thought about the civil and military affairs of this Manchu Dynasty, if you know that you are a daughter and a concubine in the harem, do you agree that you are still standing on the court?" ”
Zhuang Siyan really didn't care about this, Ling Tiancheng could let her stand there, and there must be a way to relieve her.
Besides, even if she doesn't stand there, it won't affect her work, anyway, what she wants is not that name, she wants silver.
And being a private detective is much more convenient and freer than hanging an official position.
But when she raised her eyes and saw Rong Ji's villainous appearance, as well as the abnormality of taking the initiative to talk to herself today, she wanted to see what he wanted to do?
The straight body that was standing was also bent down at this time, and there was a layer of fear and panic on his face: "Oh, Lord Rong, when you say this, I'm really a little scared, if you say this, if you really let people know about this, then not only will I not be able to stand in the court, but I may also be killed."
In all dynasties, how can there ever be a female official? I'm so presumptuous, I didn't think about it before, I just thought it was funny, and now that I am mentioned by Lord Rong, I know the seriousness of the matter. ”
She said too hard, and Rong Ji was a little embarrassed, and coughed dryly and said: "Master Si doesn't need to panic, since the emperor let you stand there, he naturally has his reason and his solution, and I can't do anything with you if I want to come to Baiguan." ”
Zhuang Siyan sneered in his heart: "Then what you said before was not a fart?" ”
But he said: "I don't know what the emperor thinks, since ancient times, the king's mind is unpredictable, he can use me at this time, give me this opportunity, but if I don't need me in the future, maybe this is one of my handles, the handle of losing my head." ”
Zhuang Siyan spared no effort to dig a pit for herself, and finally pulled Rong Ji back to her normal train of thought and began to pay attention to her.
Of course, the two of them couldn't stand in the palace and stand outside the Nanchen Gate to talk about it, so they made an appointment to go to a teahouse outside the palace.
Zhuang Siyan nodded: "Lord Rong, you now know my identity, you should know that it is not very convenient for me to leave the palace, especially since there are no cases to handle recently, so I can't find an excuse, but don't worry, I will definitely find a way to get out, I just ask you to be a little more patient, in case I go late, you have to wait longer." ”
Rong Ji: "That's natural, I am an official in the same dynasty as Master Si, so naturally we have to live in harmony." ”
Zhuang Siyan gave up his hand with him, and the smile on his face when he turned around couldn't be suppressed.
Okay, you're a Rongji, you still want to hit my calculations, it seems that I didn't find out about your affairs last time, and you don't know how good I am.
This time, I Zhuang Siyan had something to do again during this free period.
Zhuang Siyan thought as he turned back to the harem from the side door, thinking about how to tell Ling Tiancheng about this.
It's not a big deal to go out, she has to think about how to sign a contract for Ling Tiancheng again, this kind of case, find out which one must not be related to money, she Zhuang Siyan has already recovered a lot of silver for him.
No matter how good the relationship between the two is, the money still has to be calculated, otherwise in the future, if that guy comes to a draft or something, he will get her out of the palace, and she will have no money to live with, isn't it the same as running naked, which makes people feel insecure?
Walking this way, the plan was basically formed in his heart, and when it was time for dinner, Zhuang Siyan deliberately went to find Ling Tiancheng.
Ling Tiancheng has not experienced this kind of thing once or twice, he is already used to it, as long as Zhuang Siyan draws up the contract, he will sign it.
"Why don't you read the content, aren't you afraid that I will trick you?" When Zhuang Siyan saw him sign the words, he took it to his mouth and blew it to let the ink dry quickly.
Ling Tiancheng looked at her with a smile and asked, "Then will you trap me?" ”
Zhuang Siyan shook his head.
"That's it, you won't cheat me, it's not the same whether you look at it or not."
Zhuang Siyan: "......"
Isn't it very shrewd, why don't you pay attention to this serious matter?
For Zhuang Siyan, investigating the case and signing a contract to complete his own investigation is the most serious thing to take seriously.
And for Ling Tiancheng, the affairs of the world are his normal affairs, as for Zhuang Siyan's affairs.
The case is also a matter of the world, and her contract is just a matter of the youngest daughter's family.
If Zhuang Siyan told him that the unsolved case of the DPRK and the Central People's Republic of China was unsolved, Zhuang Siyan would take it seriously, but Ling Tiancheng was happy with her for the little reward she asked.
Fortunately, she didn't have a lion to open her mouth, and she scared him at once, so far, Ling Tiancheng even felt that the silver she got was not enough for her to take the risk of going out.
I used to wonder why she had been so obsessed with money, but then I figured it out, no matter what she wanted to do with the money, it was all she got by ability, not stealing, so why did she have to find out what she was doing?
In this way, the new case was transferred to Zhuang Siyan's hands, and the incident to be investigated in the contract was whether the household department Shangshu Rongji was related to the lost official silver, and the matter of his supervision of the treasury.
Zhuang Siyan carefully put the dried paper together, wrapped it in a piece, and laid it flat on the table, looked at Ling Tiancheng very seriously and asked, "You said that I want to live in this palace for ten or eight years, is it possible that you can take so many rooms with the case contract here?" ”
Ling Tiancheng glanced at her calmly and said, "Probably not, these are all old cases, haven't you found very few new cases?" ”
"Where are there so few? The previous bad guys have not been arrested, and they are still doing bad things until now, the previous cases have not been handled, and the new cases are being continued, just together with the past. ”
Speaking of this, Ling Tiancheng also sighed slightly: "Yes, if these new and old diseases are removed, the DPRK and China should be calm." ”
Unexpectedly, Zhuang Siyan leaned forward and asked, "If I finish investigating all your cases here, can I go and check elsewhere?" ”
"Elsewhere? Where else? ”
Zhuang Siyan said seriously: "Outside, in the capital, or in the prefectures and counties outside, I'll go and sit in the hall with those county magistrates, help them analyze the case, and investigate some unsolved cases among the people, isn't it also good?" ”
Ling Tiancheng pinched his eyebrows vigorously this time.
She really couldn't be idle, and the business here was not over, and she began to think about other things.
If Ling Tiancheng was not the emperor, he would be willing to follow her to do these things, which would also be a matter of ease.
But now that he can't leave the capital, he can't leave the imperial city in the four corners, so he can't let her run outside alone, it's better to stay by his side anyway.
Ling Tiancheng did not agree to this matter, but he did not immediately object, and only told Zhuang Siyan to let her handle the case in the capital first.
Zhuang Siyan, who was in a good mood, walked back with the signed agreement in her hand, and on the way Ping'er asked her: "Niangniang, what are you doing with the emperor?" ”
Zhuang Siyan smiled and asked her rhetorically: "What do you guess for, whoever guesses correctly today will have a reward of five taels of silver." ”
As soon as she said this, the little eunuchs and palace maids who followed behind began to guess.
Some people say it's a love letter, and the two use it to convey their admiration, and then they get up to save it.
Some people say that the emperor promised Zhuang Siyan something, so he wrote it down with this to guarantee it.
It's just that as soon as the latter came out, it was unanimously opposed by everyone.
"The emperor made a promise, but he didn't write it down, as long as he said it, he would not break his promise, how could he still use this look, besides, I see that the mother is happy, and it doesn't look like a guarantee."
"Yes, if it is a big event, the emperor will definitely pass on the holy decree, and if it is a small matter, our mother will not laugh so happily."
"Yes, yes, so I'm still right, it's a love letter, Niangniang, are you right?"
Zhuang Siyan looked back at them and smiled, and replied briskly: "Yes, what you said is right." ”
Everyone was stunned, how could they all be right, didn't they obviously say the same answer?
But Zhuang Siyan just gave five taels of silver to each person, and these palace people were so happy that they almost didn't jump, and they inevitably said good things about their masters.
Zhuang Siyan signed a contract with the emperor, except for the two of them, outsiders really didn't know, even Wen Qing only heard them talk about it, but he had never seen this kind of serious contract.
This kind of thing, Zhuang Siyan didn't plan to tell anyone, the new type of cooperation may not be accepted in this dynasty, and the collaborator is still the emperor, she doesn't want to make trouble for herself, and then let others talk nonsense, isn't it good to make a lot of money?
When a few people returned to the palace, they unexpectedly saw Concubine Rong there.
As soon as Concubine Rong saw Zhuang Siyan, she piled up the smile on her face, and her sister called her eldest sister short.
Zhuang Siyan also smiled at her: "Concubine Rong, why do you have time to come to me today?" ”
Concubine Rong had already followed Zhuang Siyan's feet into the palace gate: "My sister has nothing to do all day, if I wasn't afraid of disturbing my sister, I would like to come to see my sister every day." ”
Zhuang Siyan couldn't hold back and laughed.
She really thought, first, she might be able to meet Ling Tiancheng when she came here; Second, I can also probe her bottom and learn about Ling Tiancheng's situation.
Anyway, the drunkard doesn't mean to drink, Zhuang Siyan is also used to it, just looking at her today, it doesn't seem to be for Ling Tiancheng.
As soon as she entered the hall, she said that she had something private to tell Zhuang Siyan, and asked her to send out the palace maids on the left and right.
