Chapter 599: Imprisoned
In front of Yongchengbo's house.
The officials of the Criminal Department blocked the water surrounding Yongchengbo's Mansion.
In the distance, a soft sedan stopped.
The sedan curtain was opened, and Chongguo Gong looked at the gate of Yongchengbo's mansion, his face was as gloomy as he wanted.
The little servant came over and said, "Grandpa Guo, the Criminal Department only surrounded Yongchengbo's Mansion and did not arrest anyone. ”
Chongguo Gong sneered.
No one knows better than him why the Criminal Department only surrounded Yongchengbo's mansion and neither arrested nor evacuated.
If it were only the Criminal Department, he would still be able to exert pressure.
But it was the Marquis of Dongxiang who wanted the Shangshu of the Criminal Department to surround Yongchengbo's mansion.
If he presses, it will only burn the fire on him.
Thinking of what Yong Chengbo did, Chongguo Gong put down the sedan curtain.
"Go home!"
The Ministry of Criminal Affairs Shangshufu.
Young Master Qu rode in front.
The Shangshu of the Criminal Department walked behind in a sedan chair.
When he came out of the soft sedan chair, Mrs. Shangshu of the Criminal Department looked at him and said, "What happened?" ”
"Why do I think you're always absent-minded?"
After sleeping in the same bed for more than ten years, no one knows the Shangshu of the Criminal Department better than Mrs. Shangshu of the Criminal Department.
Something must have happened.
And it's not a trivial matter.
Young Master Qu also looked at Shangshu of the Criminal Department, "Dad, what's going on?" ”
He has been away from Beijing for a long time, and now that he has returned, a bunch of people want to invite him to dinner.
He was going to have a banquet and a gathering with everyone.
As a result, after the banquet was dismissed, the secretary of the criminal department asked him to go home.
If there is nothing major, he still has to rush to the appointment, and he can't miss the appointment.
Shangshu of the Criminal Department went to the study with a calm face.
Mrs. Shangshu of the Criminal Department and Young Master Qu could only follow behind.
Shangshu of the Criminal Department is cautious by nature, it is Shangshufu, and he doesn't know which little guy is whose eyeliner.
Only when he entered the study could he reprimand his son with confidence.
"I sent someone to search Yongchengbo's mansion and found the porcelain on the drawings, but it was not a tribute," Shang Shu of the Criminal Department said.
Young Master Qu was stunned, "How can it not be a tribute?" ”
The Shangshu of the Criminal Department glared at him, "Is it a tribute, will I not be able to recognize it?" ”
Mrs. Shangshu of the Criminal Department was anxious, "It's not a tribute, then rashly surround the Yongcheng Mansion, how can this be good?" ”
After all, it is Bofu, how can it be easily surrounded and searched.
If you really want to investigate it, this is a dereliction of duty.
Young Master Qu was stunned by his own father.
When he came back from an errand before, his father saw how kind and pleasant he was, and it was the first time he was entrusted with a heavy task by his father, and he tried his best to do it well without making any mistakes.
I didn't expect such a big mistake.
In case his father lost his official position, Young Master Qu hurriedly said, "It can't be wrong, I asked in detail, that is the tribute." ”
"The porcelain is very exquisite, and it has completely reached the level of tribute, but there is no word for tribute under the porcelain," Shangshu of the Criminal Department said.
There is no word tribute, which is considered a tribute.
As long as it is a tribute, even if it is a pear, there will be the word tribute on the basket.
"So what now?" Mrs. Shangshu of the Criminal Department said anxiously.
"I'm trying to figure it out," Shangshu of the Criminal Department said with a headache.
It's that he's too anxious.
But even if he wasn't in a hurry, Ming'er showed the evidence to Dongxianghou, and the result was the same.
The fault lies in the lack of evidence.
It was his son who was not doing well.
"You guys go back first," the criminal department secretary waved his hand.
Young Master Qu was about to speak, but Mrs. Shangshu of the Criminal Department dragged him out.
It's not bad if you didn't scold him directly.
Dare to get in the way of his father's anger, isn't this looking for scolding?
"You, you, your father was very happy, but when he turned his face, something happened," Mrs. Shangshu of the Criminal Department sighed.
Young Master Qu was full of grievances.
He has been running around for so long, not just to complete his father's explanation, and as a result-
Young Master Qu was in a bad mood, and he didn't have the heart to go out of the house to make an appointment.
Mrs. Shangshu of the Criminal Department went back to the room, and the more she thought about it, the more her head hurt.
Just as she was about to rest for a while, the maid came in and told the old lady to let her go back.
Mrs. Shangshu of the Criminal Department guessed what it was for, she didn't want to go back to be trained, but when she heard that the old lady had fainted, she couldn't help but go back.
By the time Mrs. Shangshu of the Criminal Department returned home, it was already evening.
Shangshu of the Criminal Department looked at her, "Trained?" ”
"My mother is grateful to Yong Chengbo for saving her, treating him as her own son, you are her son-in-law, and you surrounded Yong Chengbo's mansion, can she ask a few more words?" Mrs. Shangshu of the Criminal Department said.
"As soon as I said what I had done wrong, my mother was relieved."
At that time, the maid came in with food.
Today, when Young Master Qu comes back, the kitchen is full of dishes he likes to eat.
It's just that halfway through eating, Young Master Qu remembered something, and he hurriedly put down his chopsticks, "Dad, mother, I'm full, I'll go out first." ”
Before the words fell, the man had already run away.
Mrs. Shangshu of the Criminal Department looked at the bowl with half a bowl of rice left, and said, "Just eat half a bowl of rice and be full?" ”
"After being away from Beijing for a while, how did you develop a fiery temperament?"
"I heard that the Marquis of Dongxiang has a trick in cultivating people's patience, why don't you send him to the Marquis of Dongxiang Mansion to sharpen it?"
Shangshu of the Criminal Department said, "The first time I go far away, it is inevitable to be in a hurry, so it's good to get used to it." ”
Besides, after the eldest young master Qu went out, he got on the horse and ran directly.
The little guy can't catch up.
Young Master Qu went to a porcelain shop.
By this hour, however, the porcelain shop had closed, with business in front and residential in the back.
Young Master Qu climbed over the wall and went in, and found the shopkeeper who was eating.
He broke in suddenly, startling people.
"Who are you?!" The way of the shopkeeper.
Young Master Qu tugged at the collar of the shopkeeper and said, "Are you from the Zhou family in Lizhou?" ”
The shopkeeper nodded, "Yes, I am." ”
"Let me ask you, three years ago, did Lizhou pay tribute to a batch of porcelain and was robbed by Qingyun Mountain?" Young Master Qu asked.
"Yes, there is such a thing."
"Why is there no tribute on the porcelain?" Young Master Qu asked.
The shopkeeper looked at the young master Qu and said, "If the palace asks for a tribute without words, we don't dare not listen." ”
Don't pay tribute to the name?
Young Master Qu frowned, "What the hell is going on, let's talk about it in detail." ”
The shopkeeper didn't know in detail, he said what he knew, "That batch of tribute was asked for by the palace as a congratulatory gift, and it was specially told that it should not be worse than the emperor and concubine in the palace, but it could not be engraved with the word tribute." ”
"For that batch of tribute, the Zhou family has been busy for a whole month."
I see.
Young Master Qu asked the shopkeeper to write down his words, signed and postponed, and left with his confession.
When he returned home, the sky was full of stars.
He presented his confession to the Criminal Department Shangshu for review.
Shangshu of the Criminal Department frowned tightly.
Three years ago, the palace did not ask for a large number of porcelain as congratulatory gifts.
The tribute has not been archived either.
Someone must have made a false proclamation!
The next day was the day when the court rested.
After having breakfast, Shangshu of the Criminal Department went to find Dongxiang Hou.
The Marquis of Dongxiang sent the confession to the palace, and the emperor was furious after seeing it, not only asked the Marquis of Dongxiang to raid the Yongcheng Uncle's Mansion, but also to investigate the matter thoroughly.
Yongchengbo's mansion was imprisoned.
