Chapter 2 True and False
Feng Shuanglin was ordered by Li Shangshu to come to the Ministry of Officials to select and clear the Officials Division, looking for Langzhong Tang Tai to make a book, and to transfer several craftsmen from the Ministry of Industry to the Ministry of Rites for temporary use.
Xu Jing asked him to see Shen Shangshu.
When he entered the main hall, he saw Shen Zetang sitting in the Taishi chair, reviewing the upper papers, and he raised his eyes to look at him when he heard the movement, with a faint smile on his lips.
Exempt him from seeing the courtesy, give him a seat, and order someone to pour pineapple tea.
When there is no one around, there is no need for Shen Zetang to ask, Feng Shuanglin has already said: "The birthday of the Queen Mother is coming, because the emperor's illness has not healed and he has no intention of doing it, the celebrant and the Ministry of Rites and Rites can hold a sacrifice ceremony in Kunning Palace that day to pray for the Queen Mother and the emperor." Now in order to please the Queen Mother, the civil and military officials are all looking around for all kinds of precious ritual utensils and sending them to the Ministry of Rites, I wonder if Second Master Shen can prepare them? ”
Shen Zetang was noncommittal, thought about it and asked him: "What is the movement of the prince?" ”
Feng Shuanglin replied: "The prince is in an eventful autumn, and he needs the protection of the queen mother, I heard that someone has presented him with the famous Eastern Han Dynasty horse stepping on Feiyan, these days are quietly looking for connoisseurs to go to the prince's mansion to distinguish the true from the false, Shen Erye can know what is the magic of the horse stepping on Feiyan?" ”
Shen Zetang looked at him with a smile: "The prince is willing to tell you about such things, but it is a good sign." ”
And said: "The horse stepped on the Feiyan in the late Eastern Han Dynasty and wandered into the people, for a running copper horse, the flower tassels are slightly raised, the tail is tied with a floating knot, and the three hooves are light and swift in the air, the right rear hoof, stepping on the flying dragon sparrow, the dragon finch is frightened to look back, its magic lies in the sky horse, height and weight, but it falls on the back of the light flying sparrow, can stand still, is a rare thing in the bronze ritual vessel. Few people have seen it in its true form, and even if there are, it is an imitation, very rough. ”
Feng Shuanglin asked suspiciously: "Those connoisseurs are afraid and have never seen it, how can they determine the authenticity?" ”
Shen Zetang frowned and replied to him: "....... Someone has written down the details of the characteristics of this object. “
Su'er's tone was serious: "What you need to do is to find an opportunity, and let the prince allow you to bring people to participate in the appreciation of authenticity by Ma Ta Feiyan." ”
"It's not difficult to get the prince to allow me to take someone there." Feng Shuanglin was a little embarrassed and asked, "But who should I take with me?" ”
Shen Zetang was silent, and asked him to come closer and whisper.
Feng Shuanglin's face was full of disbelief, just Tang Tai came to send him the official register, and it was inconvenient to say more, so he had to leave.
Shen Zetang ate tea slowly, and said to Xu Jing after a while: "You go to the person sent by King Hao and say that half of this matter is done, and half of it is man-made, but it is not under my control, just let it fate!" ”
Xu Jing had long wanted to ask: "Is the person recommended by the second master really suitable?" ”
Shen Zetang's expression was indistinguishable, put down the teacup and said lightly: "I don't know if it's suitable or not, I just want to confirm one thing." “
Xu Jing couldn't believe his ears, and said in surprise: "For Feng Shuanglin to enter the palace, the second master and King Hao have been planning for several months, how can they fall short, I don't know what is going on, so important to the second master?" “
Shen Zetang smiled, waved him to step back, and continued to review the mountains of papers on the table.
Xu Jing walked out of the main hall full of worries, and when he saw Shen Huan coming over in a thin yellow body, he simply stopped and asked him why he was so embarrassed.
Shen Huan smiled and said: "I'll go and give persimmons to Little Peach, he bites Lu Dongbin, he doesn't know the hearts of good people, he pretends to take it, and then hits me one by one." “
"What are you going to provoke him?" Xu Jing almost sighed: "People have said several times not to eat, you have to go to the hard stuff...... Can you grow your ambition? ”
Shen Huan scratched his head, a little puzzled: "The second master said that little peaches like to eat persimmons." ”
That can't prepare you to send a big bag at two ends in the past three days, no wonder I saw Feng Shunyu yesterday, and my face turned persimmon-colored.
"You're not unambitious." Xu Jing gritted his teeth: "...... You're really stupid! “
Shen Huan's expression was grim, and he clenched his fists to make the bone joints creak, and he dared to say that he was stupid and didn't want to die.
Then he shouted at Xu Jing's back: "Hurry up and I'll change my trick and send persimmons to the little peach." ”
Xu Jing's shoulders were lowered, and his feet were inexplicably bent, and he felt that at this time, if he had persimmons in his hands, he would also want to kill him.
.......................
At noon on this day, Shun Yu was having dinner with Si Cheng Fan Chengyuan and Su Qiming, and Jiang Hai rarely came to sit around, with a look of chagrin on his face.
Fan Chengyuan had a good relationship with him, so he asked him why he was unhappy.
Jiang Hai held back in his heart, looked at Shun Yu, and stopped talking.
Shun Yu felt obediently, knowing that he had something unspeakable, and got up to dodge, but was dragged by Su Qiming, and only said that the same government office was not to be seen.
Jiang Hai said helplessly: "Today in the Criminal Department, I actually saw the widow of the deceased classmate Chen, who teamed up with a country man to kill the adulterer, only to be beheaded five days later. ”
Fan Chengyuan smiled after hearing this: "There are many rights and wrongs in front of the widow's door, this kind of case has long been unusual, even if you know it in the past, you can't commit a crime?" ”
Jiang Hai shook his head and sighed: "You don't know, I was a small student with that classmate, and I had a deep relationship, and I knew that he had died of illness a few years ago, and I went to his home to mourn, so I first saw Chen." But she is a stunningly beautiful woman, dressed in a vegan body, like a clear lotus out of the water. I had not yet married a wife, and I fell in love with her at first sight, and I was repeatedly obsessed with her in private. The woman was very upright, and admonished me with the qualities of a Confucian, and she was very embarrassed, and she did not dare to blaspheme her again. ”
Shun Yu slandered, seeing that Jiang Shaoqing was usually dignified, but there was still such an unbearable incident.
Listen to him continue: "How do you want to see her in front of the hall today, but I can't believe it in my heart, Chen's is a frost festival, and I was also a suave young man back then, she strictly refused, how could she kill another adulterer for a rude person, I really can't understand it." ”
Su Qiming smiled and asked: "Jiang Shaoqing came back from the Criminal Department so late, I'm afraid that he suspects that there are grievances in this case, and he will retry it?" ”
Jiang Hai also admitted neatly: "I secretly thought that maybe the neighbors on the left and right framed her, or maybe the judge didn't see the details, so he simply went to court for a retrial, but if there is any grievance in her, I will investigate and deal with it according to the situation." ”
Fan Chengyuan listened interestingly and asked the woman what she said.
Jiang Hai's face was not good: "The Chen family actually confessed, and frankly admitted that I was willing to die." I always felt that this case was very suspicious, how could she refuse me, how could she kill for a rough person. ”
He asked Fan Su what he thought of this, and the two of them couldn't say why.
He turned to look at Shun Yu and asked her if she had any thoughts on this case?
Shun Yu is very contemptuous of Jiang Hai, he is similar to Yang Yan's temperament, and he thinks very highly of himself, and he can't see the woman who rejected him back then, but he is willing to die for a vulgar village husband, and he is also promoted to the court for retrial.
Thinking about it again, he had lustful thoughts about the young surviving life, and he didn't have much shame.
But he didn't show it, but said lightly: "Maybe it's a bad fate in a previous life." “
The words fell, but I saw the secretary Wang Tong looking over and seeing Shun Yu, someone was looking for her outside the busy door, so don't go quickly!
