Zhuang Siyan did not ask the result.

That night, Ye Yuanpei received an imperial order from Ling Tiancheng to lead troops to the Kashgar tribe, and the court and China also talked about it for a while, and they were all talking about it, and it didn't look good.

The cases outside were one after another, and after Ye Yuanpei left, the matter of the moat was transferred to the Criminal Department.

A few days later, a new piece of music was published in the ancient book, which lightly described only how many corpses were found inside, and he said nothing about the characteristics of those corpses and what they would involve.

Zhuang Siyan felt that there were too many suspicious points in it, so she applied to leave the palace with Ling Tiancheng to assist Gu Shuxin in investigating the case, but Ling Tiancheng assigned her another job.

also said that the batch of official silver in Yangcheng has also been dug up, and now it is being transported to Beijing, so that she has time to pay attention to it, as for the case of the moat, it will be handled by the Criminal Department for the time being, and if there is any doubt, Wen Qing will follow it.

Zhuang Siyan felt that many things seemed to have changed overnight, but she couldn't tell where they had changed.

But it's good to be able to get out of the palace, Ling Tiancheng said that she won't be in charge of the moat's case, but as long as she goes out, she doesn't want to go anywhere?

After entering March, the weather has warmed up a lot, and the thick cotton clothes in winter have long been taken off, and the body is thinner, and the movement is much more convenient.

Zhuang Siyan usually goes out to walk, running and jumping or anything is no better than an ordinary woman, so relatively speaking, she wears less than others.

When she came out of the palace, she still had Qingran and Qingshi with her.

I went back to the house, and after meeting Ah Si, I learned about Sun Xi's situation.

According to Ah Si, Sun Xi has been going home frequently recently, and although he received an errand from Zhuang Siyan, he didn't do it carefully.

The people in the village didn't treat him badly, but he was not a guest, and he was a prisoner under house arrest, so he would still be asked to do any work in normal times.

Of course, when doing things, Ah Si will keep an eye on it, even so, once Sun Xi was accidentally hit by a stone, and the reason why he went home was that his arm was smashed, and he especially wanted to see his relatives.

Zhuang Siyan frowned and thought for a while before asking Ah Si: "There are stones in the yard that can smash people?" ”

The expression on Ah Si's face was also very strange, and he was silent for a moment before saying: "There is a rockery in the garden, and there are some stones on the mountain, which will not hurt people under normal circumstances, I don't know how he did it." ”

Zhuang Siyan immediately turned his gaze to Ah Si, and when he looked at him, he inexplicably thought in his mind that the last time he got out, it was also Ah Si who helped him, and Sun Xi left.

She asked in her mouth, but she was thinking in her heart, will it be Ah Si who will help this time?

Since I talked to him last time, on the surface, Ah Si has returned to his original loyalty to her, but people's hearts are unpredictable.

Zhuang Siyan has been in this industry for many years, and he still knows a little about this aspect.

If you get serious, no one can fully believe it, let alone a person who hasn't been friends with you for many years? In Ah Si's words, their grievances were cleared, although she saved Ah Si's life, he also saved his own life several times.

In the case of not owing each other, loyalty or disloyalty is right, and Zhuang Siyan has no reason to ask him again.

But when she looked at Ah Si, she felt that he would not do such a thing.

Zhuang Siyan looked at him for a moment, then looked away, and said calmly: "Ah Si, according to your analysis, is this a coincidence?" ”

Ah Si shook his head: "My subordinates don't think it's like a coincidence." ”

"Oh? Tell me, what's the problem? ”

Ah Si glanced outside, and from this angle, he could just see a corner of the garden from the window.

The rockery there is a bit big, and Zhuang Siyan deliberately did it back then, she didn't want the whole yard to look deserted.

The courtyard in the north has nothing in winter, so it can only rely on these fakes to support the façade, and the rockery is in the middle of the backyard and the front yard, and when people pass through the middle, they have to pass through the middle path.

But if you look at the front yard and the back yard, the rockery happens to become a screen, separating the two yards.

In fact, it is still very good, and it is also the style that Zhuang Siyan likes, of course, the construction must be very strong, and it will not pile up some stones casually.

Ah Si also analyzed this, and he also said: "When Sun Xi went to clean the rockery, he deliberately broke me apart. ”

When Zhuang Siyan heard this, he turned around again, faced Ah Si and asked, "Break you apart?" ”

"That's right, it's also my fault for this, I know he's playing tricks, he has been coming here from time to time recently, and his subordinates also want to see what tricks he wants to do, so he also deliberately walked away."

Zhuang Siyan laughed: "You are really childlike, you played a trick with a child to test each other, but you got rid of it again and planted it in his hands." ”

Ah Si was teased and lowered his head very guiltily.

After a while, he assured Zhuang Siyan: "Sir, next time I will definitely watch him closely and don't let him be a demon again." ”

Zhuang Siyan didn't respond to his words, only shook his head at him, and stood up for a long time: "You don't want to follow him, I'll find someone else to follow him." ”

Ah Si was puzzled: "You mean to let him walk around the mansion at will and come and go freely?" ”

"No, I'll find someone else to take you to watch him, but I won't watch him too closely, give him space to do his own thing, and send another secret guard to follow quietly to see what he wants to do?"

Zhuang Siyan saw Ah Si standing still, suppressed his tone and said: "You have been with him for too long, he has already figured out your temperament, and those who want to connect with him behind his back are also very familiar with you, and they can't have the effect they should have, but there is another thing, you can help me do it." ”

As soon as Ah Siyi heard that there was a new task, his spirit suddenly lifted, and his eyes lit up a little when he looked at Zhuang Siyan.

Zhuang Siyan was not polite, let him come closer, and quickly told him what he thought.

Seeing Ah Si take the money she gave and go out, she gathered the people in the mansion together and chose a clever one to let him follow Sun Xi.

The dark guard used the Qingfeng of the Qing brothers.

The official silver dug up by Yangcheng has entered Beijing and received the household department.

Rong Ji's face has been revealed, and he is anxious to insert a lever from it and share a little benefit, but now that he and Jia Youshan are equally dividing the cake of the household department, he has an extra pair of eyes staring at him, and he does not dare to act rashly.

It's just that such a large batch of silver is too tempting, and Rong Ji is a little itchy.

In the end, I thought of an idea, pretending to ask Jia Youshan to come out for tea and discuss the matter with him.

"Old Jia, the two of us are officials in the same dynasty, and we belong to the same household department, after so many years, we really have some feelings." Rong Ji came out with an emotional version.

Jia Youshan, who is old-fashioned, is probably an official who has no feelings, so he didn't answer, but changed it: "Lord Rong, this is an errand arranged by the emperor, and you don't have to do it if you have no feelings." ”

Rongji: "......"

This old man is really pedantic, but he can't help it, pedantic eyes are not easy to open, but if they are really opened, it is also beneficial.

He changed the subject: "Jia Lao, Ling Lang has come back from the last disaster relief, although he has been awarded the third grade imperial history, but he has not seen the emperor send him a big errand, you explain that Yuan is also I grew up watching, that child is smart and talented, he is a great talent, but it is not important in the officialdom, it is a pity to say." ”

Everyone has weaknesses, and Jia Youshan's weakness is his son.

The Jia family does not have many heirs, and in Jia Youshan's generation, although there are several wives and concubines, there are two daughters and one boy in total.

The eldest daughter is okay, now she is the concubine in the palace, and the younger daughter is still young, and Cheng Huan is on her knees, which also makes Jia Youshan very pleased.

Only this son really watched him grow up and taught him single-handedly.

I have only learned since I was a child, and no one in Beijing can match the endorsement of eulogies, I originally thought that I could really become a great talent, but I was burdened by a marriage, and I still remember that bad fate, so that even the current emperor is offended.

Jia Youshan didn't think that his son was incompetent, he just felt that the emperor intended revenge on his son, so he didn't use him.

Now that he was mentioned by Rong Ji, he really poked the sore spot, and he couldn't speak, so he just lowered his head and drank tea in a sullen voice.

Rong Ji poked a knife into the place, seeing that the effect was good, how could he let go, of course, it was to add firewood and fire, and set Jia Youshan up.

He quietly poured tea for Jia Yishan, leaned forward again, and said softly: "Jia Gongke heard that the Criminal Department has taken on a lot of big cases recently. ”

When Jia Youshan was still immersed in the matter of his precious son, he didn't react when he heard that he had changed the topic, but just looked up at Rong Ji.

Rong Ji cautiously looked at the door and the window, and made sure that no one was eavesdropping, so he suppressed his voice a little more, and whispered to Jia Youshan as if he was whispering.

"I heard that the ancient books of the Criminal Department are not good, and they have received many murders, but they can't deal with any of them, and the emperor has been annoyed, as long as someone goes up to participate in a copy, he will definitely be able to pull him down."

Jia Youshan didn't understand what Rong Ji meant, so he didn't respond to his words.

Rong Ji said very excitedly: "Old Jia, what do you think of this one?" Now the emperor has no available talents in his hands, as long as the ancient books can come down, and someone mentions Ming Yuan's nephew, then the emperor will definitely think that he has made meritorious contributions to disaster relief, and this lack is none other than him. ”

Jia Youshan's eyes lit up a little at the right time, but his face was still cautious: "Lord Rong, is this really happening?" I heard that the ancient book was transferred by Lord Luo back then, can it be moved? ”

Before he finished speaking, Rong Ji laughed, and said Jia Youshan while laughing: "Old Jia, the older you get, the more confused you become." Although the ancient book is new in the past by Lord Luo, where is there any Lord Luo now? If he is reincarnated after death, I am afraid that he will become a doll a few months old now, then Gu Shuxin is just a person without a backer, and he will not be able to move. ”

"Lord Rong's words are reasonable, but the old book has a reputation for not being good, why has Lord Luo fallen for so long, and no one has touched him."

This really stopped Rong Ji, he didn't want to say it, but if he didn't take out something real, he couldn't convince this horseman, so he could only look around again, and then leaned over and whispered: "Jia Lao, if you say this, you must keep it secret, you know me, and no third person can know." ”

Jia Youshan was very obedient and nodded along with his words.
