Chapter Ninety-Eight: Rumors (Part II)
Kuroko scratched his head: "Anything else more important about Zhuo Yinfeng is gone!" ”
"What about King Yi?"
"King Yi's side is very quiet, but occasionally there are some people in the teahouse who say that King Yi is losing power now, and I'm afraid he won't be able to fight the prince anymore."
"Whoever kills the deer, it's not necessarily!" Jinyu smiled faintly and asked, "Is there anything else?" What about the Prince? ”
Heizi was very helpless: "The prince lives in the East Palace, and he is the prince, how can there be rumors about him in the market!" ”
"That's right! If even the things in the East Palace will be reported to the market and be talked about, then this palace will not become a vegetable market! Jin Yu sighed, that imperial city was like an iron bucket, and he really couldn't penetrate it at all.
Heizi saw Jin Yu's two eyebrows furrowed tightly, and the corners of his mouth trembled and said: "Although there is no news between the prince and King Yi, there was an incident a few days ago, if it is too big, it should have something to do with the prince!" ”
"You're just a child, what can you think of the prince?"
Kuroko grinned: "I heard a lot of this, and my brain naturally brightened!" In the past, I was worried about my livelihood, how could I have so much energy to think about others, but now I have some to eat and drink, and I can think about other things when my brain is fine! Actually, I'm not stupid. ”
As she spoke, she deviated from the topic again, and Jin Yu pushed a handful of sunspots: "Okay, it turns out that you are also a pearl in the dust, and you are also a human spirit, I don't have much time, hurry up and say something!" As long as it can get involved with the prince, it is equivalent to the prince himself! ”
Kuroko's mouth and tongue were dry, and he drank two cups of cold tea in a row, and his face turned white and shivered fiercely: "Isn't it the New Year's Festival recently?" Every family has the habit of setting off firecrackers, and the officialdom will take this opportunity to move around with each other, and the gift-givers who are in a relationship have been moving around very frequently recently. Although you are a nine-rank sesame official in the court, you also know this! ”
"It's natural! You don't know that the threshold of Nangong Hou's Mansion is about to be trampled on! ”
"There is an official in this capital who also took his son out to visit other officials during the New Year, and his son is only four or five years old! On the way, I met another child setting off firecrackers. Unexpectedly, the official's son was timid and fell into the river frightened by a firecracker. ”
"If the kid who set off the firecrackers doesn't have a background at home, and the son of Jingguan is scared and falls into the river, there must be bitter fruit to eat!"
Heizi slapped his thigh: "Second master, what you said is really right." Didn't you listen to those adults crush people to death? What's more, this is still a Beijing official, and he is still the secretary of the ministry. ”
"The Official's Book!" This is very unexpected by Jin Yu, the official department Shangshu Fang Jingzhi is the humerus minister of the prince's party, and Zhuo Yinfeng is the same official residence as Zhuo Yinfeng, if he is in trouble, the prince will naturally be frustrated, Jin Yu asked repeatedly: "Are you sure it is the official book?" ”
Kuroko crooked the corners of his mouth and said again: "It's the Ministry of Officials, not the Ministry of Rites, and it's not anything else, I hear it clearly." ”
"And what happened then?"
"The official's son was quickly fished out of the water, and he was raised well on weekdays, and it was nothing big to choke on a few mouthfuls of water. But the boy who set off the firecrackers was not so lucky. The official said on his face that it was okay, but behind his back, he sent the slave to throw the child who set off the firecrackers into the water, saying that he accidentally tripped and fell into the river. The little boy didn't know how to water, and the people around him knew that the official did it, and he didn't dare to go into the water to save people until he was far away. When I was rescued, I still had a breath, but I soaked in the water for too long in the winter, and I died of illness in less than a day. Kuroko let out a long sigh, and his face sank, "The children of poor families are so pitiful!" ”
Jin Yu just listened quietly, but his heart seemed to have been poured a mouthful of cold water out of thin air, his fingers twisted the light green teacup on the table, and it took a long time to hear him exhale softly: "Pity that child!" ”
"Not really!" Heizi also let out a long sigh, "That little boy is only four or five years old, it was an unintentional mistake, but why did the official come back and take the child's life!" And that's not all! ”
"Isn't this over yet?"
"Of course it's not over!" Kuroko's face was solemn, as if something big had happened, "The little boy who died is an old man, his father is such a son, the child is gone, and half of his own life is lost." said that he wanted to sue the royal court and seek justice for his son. But before the year was over, there was a fire in the house, and the child was not buried before the husband and wife were burned to death! On the surface, it is the firecrackers that were set off during the New Year's Festival, but what is the truth, don't everyone know what it is? ”
Heizi said and a tear rolled down: "Is it true that the second master, who is an official, can treat other people's lives as grass and cut them off if he wants?" ”
Jin Yu choked in his throat and didn't know how to answer, so he wiped his tears and said, "There will always be retribution for those who do evil, it's just a matter of time!" This is at the foot of the Emperor of Heaven, and there will always be people who will come out to claim justice! ”
Kuroko shook his head: "Retribution, even if it is really retribution, those people will enjoy the wealth and glory of the world, and a cut off their heads will also cheapen them!" ”
Jin Yu was shocked when she heard this, this young man who had been with him in Yongcheng seemed to have grown up recently, and what he said was no longer just a matter of three meals a day, but something that could penetrate more into people's hearts.
Jin Yu shook her head and comforted Heizi softly: "In this world, not being able to die well is a big regret in life, I think that the official is still the book, if one day he knows that his crime will harm his wife and children, I think he will also regret not being at the beginning!" That's why no matter whether the retribution comes sooner or later, as long as the wicked are punished, they can always wait! ”
Kuroko raised his head, his dark eyes stayed on Jin Yu's face, and only nodded blankly after a while, and Jin Yu didn't know if he understood.
It's been long enough for me to come out, and I'm afraid that I will arouse suspicion if I stay, so I reached out and took out two gold collars from my arms and pushed them in front of Kuroko and said, "Kuroko, I still have something I want to ask you for help!" ”
Jin Yu's face was serious, and Heizi was stunned when he heard it, and hurriedly asked: "It's okay to help, but you don't need so much money!" ”
"Yes!" Jin Yu lowered her eyes and frowned: "This is my own private matter, but it will be a little inconvenient for me to come forward to do this matter in the Nangong Marquis Mansion, so it's best for you to go!" ”
"What's the matter?" Kuroko thought there was something big about it, so he sat up straight and asked cautiously.
"There is a bamboo forest on the outskirts of the southern part of the city, and next to the bamboo forest there is a mulberry garden, and there are several lonely graves in the mulberry garden. Don't ask me who is buried inside, you can help me go to other states and counties to find a few people to help quietly transfer the remains in those lonely graves back to Cangzhou. Build a grave for them in Cangzhou, but don't erect a tombstone for the time being. Don't forget to go to other states and find someone to help! ”
Jin Yu remembered that there was a wooden sign set up by Qianqian at the head of the tomb with the words Su Wenxi's tomb written on it, Jin Yu looked at the sunspot, showed a gentle smile and said: "Those lonely graves have a tombstone with names written on it, don't panic when you see it, hide it carefully so that others don't see it, everything will return to its original state after the remains are removed, do you understand?" ”
Kuroko rolled his eyes and thought for a moment, then nodded solemnly.
