"Okay, Qiao Fengqi did a good job in this matter." Mu Yunge closed the book and stood up: "Give me pen and paper." ”

Pei Ying took it as she said, flattened the paper for her, and polished the ink. Mu Yunge thought about it for a while, picked up the pen and wrote a handwritten letter to seal his mouth, summoned the red clothes, and handed the letter to him: "Give the letter to Gongzi Qiao, be sure to be fast." ”

Hongyi took the letter, and as soon as he left the hospital, he flew up and disappeared into the night in a blink of an eye. After a short time, he turned around and handed Qiao Fengqi's reply to her, Mu Yunge looked at it, smiled, put the paper in front of the lamp and burned it to ashes, and told the girls to rest, and went straight to sleep with his clothes.

There have always been a lot of ups and downs in the capital, and on the second day, Sister-in-law Zhang went out and walked around and came back, bringing back the news from the market.

Pei Xin relayed one by one: "Yesterday evening, the bodies of two boys suddenly floated out of the pond in the northern suburbs, and the people who fetched the water were so frightened that they hurriedly reported to the government. When Jing Zhao Yin's Mansion went to investigate, two boys' corpses had just been fished up, and two more bodies floated out from the upper stream. After searching like this, he walked to an annex and found another skeleton in the fragrant bamboo pavilion under the courtyard. The people of Jingzhao Yin's Mansion hurriedly sealed the courtyard, and after checking, the courtyard was actually from the mansion of Lord Kong Lianxi. ”

"What about Kong Lianxi?" Mu Yunge took a sip of tea and asked in a low voice.

Pei Xin said: "Kong Lianxi is a nobleman, and the people of Jingzhao Yin Mansion did not dare to act rashly, so they only asked questions according to the routine. Kong Lianxi said that he didn't know, so Jing Zhaoyin's mansion didn't ask again. ”

"Of course he's going to push it all out." Mu Yunge mockingly hooked the corners of his mouth: "But I can push it once, but I can't push it twice." Is there any movement on Qiao Gongzi's side? ”

"Miss, don't worry, the people on Childe's side have escorted people on the way." The red coat opened.

Mu Yunge looked sideways at the outside of the house, and his fingers unconsciously pointed on the window. Momen can't be easily used now, and many actions can only rely on the forces established by Qiao Fengqi, and it is inevitable that the action will be slower.

Many clues about the case of the boy's body in Jishuitan were kept secret by Jingzhao Yin's Mansion, and Jingzhao Mansion Yin ordered that it should not be disclosed to anyone, so as not to anger the people. But by the next morning, there was a lot of uproar, and all the people in the family who had lost boys crowded to Jingzhao Yin's Mansion to claim the body, crowding the front of the mansion to the brim, and even clamoring for Jingzhao Mansion Yin to give an explanation!

Jingzhao Yin Tian Zhongshu was besieged all morning, there was nothing to do, he couldn't persuade him, he couldn't fight, and he discussed with his master in a hurry: "What can I do, you have a way!" ”

"Your Excellency...... Why don't you take a trip to Master Kong's mansion? The master was sweating and asked emptily.

"If I can get something useful when I go, I still use it, you say?" Tian Zhongshu glared: "You don't want to think about it, who is Kong Lianxi, can you afford to provoke it!" ”

The master asked him a rhetorical question even more nervously, but he only agreed, but he couldn't think of a way.

Tian Zhongshu turned around a few times, but there was no way, but he thought of all kinds of disadvantages that offended people, and became more and more angry: "Who leaked the news about this, the basket is so big, and it doesn't let people live?" ”

The master shrank in the corner and didn't dare to answer, Tian Zhongshu still had no way to turn around, and the master boldly proposed: "My lord, why don't you go through the back door?" The people at the front door were impatient to wait, and naturally they dispersed. ”

"Let's go? Do you think I'll be able to go? They are impatient to wait, maybe they will do something out of the ordinary, and when the time comes, let the Holy Lord know, I can't eat and have to go around! Tian Zhongshu was furious: "You said it lightly, how do you know that I am thankless in it!" ”

"Wouldn't it be better if the emperor knew?" The master said in a low voice: "The emperor will definitely issue an order for the adults to investigate well, and if you follow the order, it will be the emperor's support to offend anyone!" ”

Tian Zhongshu slammed suddenly, suddenly raised his hand and stroked his palm and laughed, turning his anger into joy: "Yes, if it is the emperor's will, Kong Lianxi can't be perfunctory anymore if he doesn't cooperate......" He was slightly stunned, and he was very frustrated: "But even if there is the emperor's will, it will be Lord Ben who will offend people at that time, and I am afraid that this Jing Zhaoyin will be done!" ”

"Don't be discouraged, sir, you think, the civil and military forces of the Manchu Dynasty know that Kong Lianxi is the person of His Royal Highness the Third Prince, no matter what you find out, it can be regarded as offending someone, even if you hurt a few hairs in the future, the civil and military forces of the Manchu Dynasty will be counted on the heads of the three princes." The master's eyes flashed with a calculating light: "Even if you offend the third prince, for the sake of the overall situation, Da Sima will persuade the third prince not to embarrass you, what are you afraid of?" Besides, if you offend the three princes, but you have won the hearts and minds of the people, will the other princes still sit idly by? They will only think that you are outspoken and a good official, so they will compete to make friends with adults! ”

The more Tian Zhongshu listened, the more he felt that it made sense, and his gloom suddenly dissipated, patted him on the shoulder and smiled: "What you said is right, it is exactly this reason." Why didn't you think you were so talented before? From today onwards, don't always do some groceries made by the bookkeeper, follow me to handle the case, and there will always be your benefits in the future. ”

The master bowed down, Tian Zhongshu was in a good mood and left through the back door.

He didn't see it, the light on the face of the master who straightened up was a little brighter, and he went out with him one after another and knelt down in a room in the dark alley: "Childe, Lord Tian has adopted the advice of his subordinates, and I believe it will soon be a big trouble." ”

Qiao Fengqi bowed slightly: "You work hard, change into this outfit and go to the front door to guard." ”

The master took the costume, bowed his waist in front of him and slowly exited the room, Tsing Yi led him to the next door, he quickly changed his clothes, and returned to the front door of Jingzhao Yin's Mansion to work as a servant.

When the people who had been waiting for a long time saw that someone was coming to stand guard, they all straightened up angrily and asked indignantly: "Why did you stop us and not let us go to see Jing Zhaoyin?" He is the parent official of our capital, so he doesn't care if something so big happens? How did he become an official? ”

"That's it, let's go in, we're going to claim the child's body!"

"If we don't get out of the way, we're going to break in!"

"Son, if you have a spirit in heaven, you must let those who harm you die well!"

Some grief-stricken people couldn't stand the provocation, and sat down in front of the mansion crying, which instantly attracted more people, and people pointed their fingers one after another, condemning Jing Zhaoyin's mansion for not caring about the people's feelings.

The master was full of embarrassment: "Folks, it's not that adults don't open the door, adults have difficulties with adults......"

"What else could he do?" Someone asked in a straight voice: "How difficult can it be to open the door and recognize a corpse?" ”

"You folks also know where the bodies of these children were found. But you don't know, that place is the territory of Kong Lianxi, the Qing of Dali Temple! The master spread his hands innocently: "He is much more official than us adults, adults are really powerless, don't ...... you"

"Kong Lianxi? Is it the one who hurt people on the street a few days ago, and also injured His Royal Highness King Yu? The eyes of the people widened.

Master Fu nodded, and the people's grievances suddenly boiled: "How can such a vicious person be an official, is there any law in the imperial court?" ”

"Of course, the court has a law, but Master Kong is a big official, and only officials who are bigger than him can overpower him!" Master explained.

Someone asked, "Who is older than him?" ”

"Then you don't need to ask, there are still people in the world who are more official than the emperor? As long as the emperor speaks, he will be severely punished for everyone. "This doesn't need to be said by the master, the learned person answers.

"Let's go, folks, let's stop shouting here, let's go directly to the palace gate and kneel, and ask the emperor to call the shots for us!"

The crowd was quiet for a while, I don't know who shouted, and suddenly everyone agreed, hula, all the people got up, formed a team and went to the palace.

The master achieved his goal, quickly returned to the dark alley room to change his clothes, and immediately someone took this official costume, left the alley quickly, and was sent into a building after a while, buttoning a window on the second floor. A Manly arm stretched out from the room, fished everything back, and threw it on the ground, there was a noise in the bed tent, and the woman's voice was very soft: "Ouch, big brother, it's nothing, it's just that a cat scratched the window." Come on, big brother is so powerful, let's come again! ”

"Little goblin, see if I don't clean you up......" The curtain of the bed quickly gasped.

The news that the people knelt outside the palace to ask for their lives soon spread into the palace, and the civil and military officials had not yet gone down to the court, and the news spread layer by layer.

Emperor Wu's face was uncertain, and he looked at Kong Lianxi with a deep groan.

Kong Lianxi was shocked, but fortunately, he was still able to hold back and shout grievances: "Your Majesty, these are some troublemakers, and they are thinking about trouble every day." I can't believe their words, Your Majesty! ”

"Then why don't they call other people's names, just yours?" Emperor Wu frowned, and the doubts in his heart deepened a little.

"This ...... The old minister really didn't know. Kong Lianxi was stunned for a moment, and reacted quickly: "The emperor also knows that there are always some people in the court who are fighting against the ministers, and the ministers have offended many people over the years. ”

Emperor Wu nodded, thinking of the battle for succession in recent years, and his doubts were slightly relieved.

"King Yu ......" Emperor Wu thought about it, called out the title of Wei Shi, and was about to command, when the inner supervisor was busy whispering in his ear: "Your Majesty, King Yu has not been to the court for several days, but you want to publicize it?" ”

Only then did Emperor Wu remember that he hadn't seen Wei Shi for several days, and remembered that Wei Shi had drunk more wine last night, most likely because he was too drunk to get up. Naturally, he would not blame Wei Shi, the more he didn't come, the more he showed that he was not interested in the imperial court, the more reassuring Emperor Wu would be at ease with him, thinking completely like a father to his son, and immediately laughed and scolded: "This kid, after being crowned the king of the county, he is still like this." That's it, you go and wait in his apse, and I'll go over. ”

The inner supervisor received the decree, walked out of the main hall quickly, and announced that the Imperial Forest Army went to announce the decree.

Wei Shide Emperor Wu loved him for many years, and his mansion was the closest to the palace, and he soon entered the palace with the Imperial Forest Army and went to the apse to wait for Emperor Wu.

When Emperor Wu heard that he had arrived, he ordered the ministers of civil and military affairs to wait in place, turned straight to the apse, and asked him about today's affairs: "Shi'er, what do you think of this?" ”
