Chapter 252: Trial

After receiving the letter from the Jin Dynasty, Cao Ziheng came to see her the next day.

Gu Jinchao invited him to sit in the flower hall and asked about the account first. Cao Ziheng wore a gray straight jacket and wore a scarf like an ordinary old Confucian. But he seems to be very energetic. He also brought a box of fine bamboo leaf green tea leaves to Gu Jinchao.

He talked about Zhang Julian again: "After receiving the letter from my wife, I thought about it all night, thinking about how to tell you about this person. His face hesitated, "Master Zhang is the only person in this dynasty who has three yuans...... "The so-called three yuan in the middle of the company, that is, the successive understanding of the yuan, the yuan and the champion, Zhang Julian was also a very genius when he was a teenager.

"I'm afraid you also know that Master Zhang was originally from Jiangling, Jingzhou Prefecture, and his family was poor when he was young, and he studied hard. Later, Lian Zhong Sanyuan went to the Hanlin Academy to observe the government, and Yuan Youyuan, who was a bachelor in the Hanlin Academy, was his teacher. At that time, Yuan Daren promoted reform, but was opposed by the first assistant of the cabinet, Lord Gao, and was deposed after the failure of the reform penalty, and Lord Zhang also returned to his hometown Jiangling, during which time he was poor and sad. Later, he met Lord Gu, the governor of Huguang, and only then did he rise all the way to the cabinet. Master Zhang is good at power and balance, and if he is in order today, he can be regarded as having the credit of Lord Zhang......"

Cao Ziheng hesitated: "According to the old man's observation, Lord Zhang experienced ups and downs in his early years, and he was extremely eager to control power, and Lord Zhang himself was resourceful enough, so there was no suspense in Longqing and Feng Chengshan to become the first assistant of the cabinet in the sixth year." It's just that Master Zhang takes power too seriously, and he is really cold-blooded and ruthless. Master Zhang Mo Zhang, who used to follow him, didn't even go to worship because he died in the Hubu prison back then......"

Gu Jinchao had heard of Zhang Julian in his previous life. If you talk about being ruthless, there are a few people in officialdom who are clean. It was Chen Sanye, Gu Jinchao also believed that when he didn't know, Chen Sanye must have done a lot of things that violated morality.

It's just that Zhang Julian's desire for control of power is indeed stronger than many people.

Cao Ziheng didn't know why Gu Jinchao suddenly asked about Zhang Julian.

She originally inquired about Lord Song, and it was more or less related to her, and Master Zhang was Chen Sanye's teacher, so there shouldn't be a need for this move.

Cao Ziheng thought of the big case that happened recently, and felt that the two should be faintly related.

He then added, "...... Madam, there is one more thing to say. Do you know about the case of reselling official salt? ”

Gu Jinchao shook his head and said with a smile: "The women in the inner courtyard are mostly talking about some trivial things. "It didn't make a big fuss, they were the last ones to get the news.

Cao Ziheng's voice lowered: "This matter has not spread yet, and the old man also listened to his colleagues." Yu Qing's officials and businessmen colluded to resell official salt to make huge profits, and from the prefect of the county, the capital to the governor of the salt transfer were all involved, I am afraid that there are more than a dozen officials who have dismounted this time. Lord Wang Xuanfan Wang is the teacher of the Du Salt Envoy, and he has been friends with the governor of Nanzhili for many years, and he is also involved. ”

Gu Jinchao thought that Chen Sanye had gone out early and returned late these days, and sometimes he was so busy that he didn't come back when she fell asleep.

Reselling official salt...... Governor of Nanzhili...... These things sound familiar.

Gu Jinchao's heart sank. She remembered that Chen Sanye's assassination happened at this time!

Her heart was a little nervous, she thought for a while before asking, "Is this case Chen Sanye presiding over?" ”

Cao Ziheng shook his head and said, "I heard that it was asked by a Lang Zhong from the Criminal Department." Zhang Ling, the Shaoqing of Dali Temple, who stepped down during the river robbery case, fled to Yuqing and was caught and brought back to the capital. As soon as this incident came out, it first alarmed the secretary of the criminal department, and the cabinet was neglected, and Lord Zhang was shocked. I specially asked Lord Chen to assist the Criminal Department in re-investigating the river robbery case......"

Gu Jinchao moved his hand, Lord Chen should have been assassinated at this time...... But who exactly assassinated him?

Chen Sanye never told her about the affairs of the court, and he didn't want her to take care of these things. If she reminded her, what would Chen Sanye think?

Gu Jinchao pondered for a long time before asking Qingpu to send Cao Ziheng out of the mansion, and instructed him: "If Mr. Cao knows such a thing in the future, he can come to me." If someone asks, you say it's here to reconcile. "The method of transmitting the message is not reliable.

The Chen family is Chen Sanye's territory, and the letters exchanged every day, and the carriages in and out of the mansion must be checked. The backyard of the Chen family looks leisurely, but any nursing home has kung fu in it, and the outer courtyard is even more vigilant, and the guards of Heyan Tower are all extraordinary.

The collusion between officials and businessmen is a serious crime that damages the imperial court, and this matter has actually spread in the officialdom. Chen Sanye has been ordered to arrest Zheng Ci, the secretary of Dali Temple, Wu Xinhuai, the salt transport envoy, and many other ministers involved. After several days of interrogation, they were basically recruited. It's just the thing he wants to ask the most, how deeply Wang Xuanfan is involved in it, and several people answered very vaguely.

The most involved with Wang Xuanfan should be Governor Liu Hanzhang, but officials at the level of governor can't be caught if they want to, and they still need the consent of the cabinet.

But Zhang Julian was not highly motivated enough in this matter, and it was not good if it was too involved. Especially he vaguely knew that this matter was related to Wang Xuanfan.

Chen Sanye returned to the cabinet from the Criminal Department and showed Zhang Julian the interrogation file.

Xia Guan felt that although these people were critical, they were not the most important. After all, if there was no one to protect them, it would be impossible for this matter to go undetected for so many years. However, judging from the interrogation of these people, Liu Hanzhang is probably not clean......"

Chen Yanyun responded and put away the file: "The lower official also has to go to Dali Temple to check the file of Zheng Ci's interrogation of Zhang Ling at that time." Since the relationship between the two is not ordinary, there should be something greasy in this. ”

Zhang Julian nodded, his fingers lightly clasped on the table, and glanced up at Wang Xuanfan. Only then did he say to Chen Yanyun: "Take a closer look." ”

Wang Xuanfan's face turned pale.

When Chen Yanyun came out of the cabinet, Wang Xuanfan tended to follow. Stopped him: "Master Chen stays." ”

Chen Yanyun handed the file to Jiang Yan beside him, glanced back at Wang Xuanfan, and said with a smile: "Lord Wang, is there something?" ”

Wang Xuanfan said coldly: "Don't deceive people too much. It's time to stop when you get the benefits, what are you going to do if you keep doing this? Do you think I, Wang Xuanfan, will just sit back and wait to die...... Don't push me too hard. ”

Chen Yanyun looked at him very calmly: "Lord Wang, you know the truth of becoming a king and defeating a king. What do you want to do to fight back, come on, don't ask for sympathy from me, do you think I will sympathize with you? ”

Wang Xuanfan was so angry that his chest shook: "Chen Yanyun, I could have killed you completely?" ”

Chen Sanye smiled kindly: "Then I thank Lord Wang for not killing." ”

If there is a chance to kill him, can Wang Xuanfan not let go? It's just that I can't catch him. Now that he has caught Wang Xuanfan's handle, how can he be merciful. If he wants to do anything, he is afraid that he will keep a low profile.

When I went back from Dali Temple, it was already dark.

It was pouring rain and thunder and lightning.

Gu Jinchao sat on the Luohan bed to make shoes and socks for Chen Sanye to wear in autumn, and saw that the rain was pouring outside, and the rain curtain separated the corridor from the courtyard, and it was dark and he couldn't see anything clearly. Zeff walked briskly from the courtyard with an umbrella and wrung out the corners of her soaked skirt under the porch.

The little girl called her 'Sister Tsefu' and picked a curtain for her to let her in.

Cai Fu bent down to salute Gu Jinchao and said, "There is no water leakage in the fourth young lady...... It's that she is afraid of thunder, so she is so scared that she hides in the quilt and refuses to sleep. It used to be Mama An's service, but Mama An hasn't come back yet......"

Is Chen Xi afraid of thunder? Gu Jinchao put down the needle and thread and sighed, "Find an oil umbrella, I'll go see her." ”

Caifu came out with an oil umbrella and accompanied Jin Chao to the backyard.

Chen Xi's room desk also lit some lily incense to repel mosquitoes, and the tiger cloth pillow was placed on the shelf bed. She shrank in the futon, and the girls didn't dare to approach, so they were so anxious that they turned around.

Gu Jinchao saw that the window sash was still open, so he instructed them: "Go and close the window sash first, and wait outside." ”

The girls agreed, closed the window sash, and retreated.

Chen Xi heard her voice and poked a pair of eyes out of the futon.

The thunder rumbled, and she hurriedly retracted her head again, and her voice was crying: "Mother, I'm afraid of ......"

Gu Jinchao remembered that he was afraid of thunder when he was young, so his heart softened a little. sat on the edge of the bed and comforted her softly, "Don't be afraid, mother is here with you......"

Chen Xi moved closer to her, stretched out a pair of small hands to hold her hand: "Mother, can you sleep with me......?"

Gu Jinchao thought that Chen Sanye hadn't come back yet, and she still had something important to tell him, so he hesitated: "Sister Xi, why don't you be coaxed to sleep by your mother?" If you don't fall asleep, I won't leave, and let Sister Tsefu accompany you, okay? ”

Chen Xi didn't speak, but retracted his hand with some disappointment. There was another thunderclap, and she trembled even harder.

Gu Jinchao was a little helpless, so he could only take off his satin shoes and go to Sister Xi's bed and hold her in his arms. Sister Xi'er's small body immediately drilled up and clinged to her tightly. Jin Chao felt that she was sweating in the futon, and the room was very stuffy, so he asked Caifu to bring a fan over and fan Sister Xi to relieve the heat. Sister Xi didn't speak, she just kept shaking.

If it were an ordinary child, they would have to cry to their mother. It's like she pretended to be a little mouse and bit her grandmother's hand.

Gu Jinchao handed the pu fan to Cai Fu, and patted her on the back to comfort her.

After waiting for a while, there was finally no thunder, and Chen Xi was no longer afraid, but he kept holding her and fell asleep in her arms.

The rain had gradually subsided, and at this time, Xiuqu came over with an umbrella to report, saying that Chen Sanye was back.

Gu Jinchao carefully moved Chen Xi out and let Cai Fu watch her sleep. 1152
