Sonny and Ao Bai hurriedly went to the palace to see the emperor, but Sonny complained on the way: "Lord Aobai, I don't think this matter should have alarmed the emperor." ”

Ao Bai said: "Raising people to kill people is also a matter of bribery in the field, and if you don't play the emperor, you will blame it later, and none of us can afford to bear it!" ”

The two talked all the way, trembling and entering the Qianqing Palace. It turned out that the excerpt was hurriedly handed in 100,000 early, and the emperor immediately announced that Sony and Ao would pay a visit.

The emperor was really angry and said: "The murderer has not been caught, and the matter has not been clarified, so he has linked this matter with the bribery in the department, and notices have been posted all over the street." You guys are so stupid! ”

Ao Bai said: "The people who lived in the same shop as the murdered lifter Li Jin said that Li Jincheng said that he was going to denounce the person who bribed the examiner. It was the night Li Jin was killed that Chen Jing fled. Everyone said that Chen Jing's family was rich and took a lot of silver to get through the joints. ”

The emperor's eyes widened angrily: "Who did you give the silver to, you, or you?" ”

Sonny hurriedly knelt down and pleaded guilty, only to say how dare he be so bold.

The emperor said angrily: "In the autumn of last year, there were cases in both the north and the south, which made the court very shameless. Now, people all over the world are saying that this year's spring bribery is the most prosperous, and I ordered you to investigate, but I didn't find half a shadow! Now that there is a murder, you will see that the wind is rain, and you will be attached to the chisel and add fuel to the fire! You think the people don't scold the court enough, do you? Caught so many people indiscriminately! ”

It turned out that in order to question the case, all the people who lived in the Happy Forest were arrested. Ao Bai kowtowed and said: "The person was caught by Shuntianfu, and Xiang Bingdao asked the minister." The minister is confused, please ask the emperor to punish the crime! ”

The emperor said hatefully: "Remember it first, and when the matter is clear, settle the accounts together!" ”

Sonny said in horror: "The minister is also guilty!" ”

The emperor glanced at Sony and said, "I didn't say that you have merit!" ”

Sonny didn't dare to say anything more, kneeling on the ground and bowing his head to listen to the order.

The emperor said: "I order you to quickly release all the people who are locked up!" Can't miss their exams! It is also necessary to appease them well, the court must not lose the hearts of the world's scholars! Quickly tear down the notices on the street to arrest that Shanxi lifter! Then send someone to visit privately and secretly arrest him. ”

Ao bowed and said: "The minister obeys the order." ”

The emperor said again: "Remember, I want to live...... What's that guy called? ”

Sonny replied: "Chen Jing! ”

The emperor said: "Remember, whoever committed suicide to Chen Jing privately must have accepted bribes!" ”

Ao Bai didn't understand what the emperor meant, but said: "The minister understands." ”

Out of the Qianqing Palace, Ao Bai asked quietly: "Lord Sony, why does the emperor say that whoever committed suicide by Chen Jing took the bribe?" ”

Sonny smiled: "Didn't you make it clear in front of the emperor?" The emperor is extremely sage, knowing that if Chen Jing is related to bribery, he must be an insider, and some people don't want to stay alive. ”

Ao Bai nodded at this time, and suddenly realized.

The cold wind wrapped the snowflakes in the air, and Gao Shiqi walked down the street, his hands in his sleeves. He entered a shop with all kinds of copper and iron utensils. He took a fancy to a delicate copper hand stove and played with it repeatedly in his hand. The shopkeeper greeted: "This son, this is the goods of a famous shopkeeper, you really have an eye!" ”

Gao Shiqi asked, "How much?" ”

The shopkeeper said: "Two hundred Wen!" ”

Gao Shiqi said: "Two hundred Wen? It's too expensive! ”

The shopkeeper said: "Childe, what you said is true, you look at the goods!" ”

Gao Shiqi didn't bargain, and counted the copper plate on the cabinet: "I bought it!" ”

Seeing that Gao Shiqi was generous, the shopkeeper must be a broad young man, and immediately smiled on his face, and said: "Childe, wait, I have a ready-made charcoal fire here, which is burning red, I will wait for you!" ”

Gao Shiqi walked out of the store, holding the hand stove in his hand, and his head was held high. When passers-by saw it, they whispered to the side: "Young man, what kind of hand stove are you playing, Tu Lao Hat!" Someone said: "The son of a rich family is weak!" Gao Shiqi didn't hear what others said, but he was envious of his copper hand furnace, and he looked more and more proud.

Not long after, Gao Shiqi walked into the tailor's shop again and chose some clothes to put on his clothes. When the master saw that all he wanted was the best materials, he was very attentive. Gao Shiqi spread out his hands, let the tailor measure him, and kept instructing people: "Master, I have to ask you to make this dress well, don't let people look at jokes!" ”

The master said: "Childe, look where you said!" I'm a centuries-old shop, and you've never heard of it! ”

Gao Shiqi said: "I really haven't heard of it!" ”

The master smiled: "The people who come to us to make clothes are all big families. Childe, don't be funny. ”

Gao Shiqi said the truth: "Master, don't flatter. This is the first time that my son has bought such a good dress. I'm still a poor guy a few days ago! ”

The master looked at Gao Shiqi in surprise, immediately laughed, and said, "Childe dares to come to Beijing to take the exam?" At first glance, you are the face of wealth. ”

Gao Shiqi laughed and said, "What you said is true. ”

The master was busy flattering and said: "As the saying goes, ten years of cold windows is not desolate; One day high school, the dragon and phoenix among the people! ”

Gao Shiqi was very helpful when he heard this, and said, "Thank you master for your words." Please hurry up, I'll wear it in a few days! ”

The master promised to stay up all night, and he had to make this champion Lang's clothes. Gao Shiqi knew that he had no chance with the champion in his life, and he was still very comfortable listening to it.

Gao Shiqi came out of the tailor's shop, and suddenly saw an official in front of him escorting some people over. He suddenly saw that Zhang Wei was also inside, and hurriedly hid in the corner of the alley. It turned out that Zhang Wang and those people who lived in the Happy Forest were all tied up to Shuntianfu for questioning, and now they were released again after the holy decree. Gao Shiqi said a few days ago that he was going to lock the hospital soon, but now he is still strolling on the street, afraid that Zhang Wang will have a bad face when he sees it. He still had to go to the tribute courtyard in a few days, and what he said in front of Zhang Wang that day was so important that it was coaxing.

Gao Shiqi looked at Zhang Wei and they passed, and then came out of the alley. After walking a short distance, I saw several officials tearing down the notice on the wall. That notice was the one who arrested Chen Jing. Gao Shiqi also heard about the case, and he couldn't imagine that Chen Jing would do such a thing. I heard a passer-by ask, "What?" The murderer was caught? The official said, "Who knows?" If you call it paste, you can tear it! That night, Gao Shiqi accepted Zhang Wang's silver, and he heard that there was someone outside, as if it was Chen Jing. He was relieved about this, but when he heard that Chen Jing had killed someone, he felt more relaxed.

Poor Dashun is so young, since the young master was lost, he only cries in the store all day long. I heard that the young master had killed someone, and I was even more scared. Zhang Wang said that he didn't believe anything about Chen Jing's murder, but he felt that Chen Jing was too outrageous. He coaxed Da Shun, only saying that your young master will come back sooner or later. Unexpectedly, within two days, the people who lived in the Happy Forest were all arrested by the government. Fortunately, Chen Jing put silver in the store, so the store did not drive Dashun away. Zhang Wang returned to Happy Forest, and the first thing he did was to find Dashun.
