It is said that Shui Rong is an old yin person, but compared with Wang Ziteng, it is still 108,000 miles away.

When Ning Rongjia's family was a little better, Master Jing and Master Yu carefully investigated Wang Ziteng, and this investigation almost made him depressed to death.

Because in all the major events in these years, the Wang family can say that except for the waste of Wang Zisheng, the clean dragon guards can't find the slightest evidence of guilt.

At that time, the Zhen family obeyed the orders of Concubine Zhen and the eleventh eleventh Liu Chen, colluded with Jiangnan officials and gentry and salt merchants to assassinate the Lin family, killed Jia Min and Lin Ruhai's young sons, and poisoned Lin Ruhai.

The poison that killed Jia Min's mother and son was the Zhen family through Mrs. Wang's hands, and Wang Ziteng probably knew about it, so he watched coldly and did not directly participate.

The poison that assassinated Lin Ruhai, an important minister of the court, was the hand of a salt merchant, and judging from the evidence found, it had nothing to do with Wang Ziteng.

Everyone in the capital knows that Wang Ziteng has hooked up with Prince Yizhong's Mansion and Zhongxin Palace, but all the big rebellions of the two royal mansions, no matter how they are investigated, there is no evidence that Wang Ziteng is involved in the case.

It was the evil things that Wang Zisheng did, and Master Jing suspected that Wang Ziteng deliberately threw it out.

Because what Wang Zisheng did was very common in the noble circle. As long as the prince does not fall, the prince will win the crime of exile at most.

In addition, Wang Ren's "conspicuous bag" is placed on the bright side, whether it is in the palace or in the court, they will feel that this is normal.

is like the "virtuous king" character of Shuilu, which will make the two saints always remain vigilant and suspicious.

What exactly is the crime of Wang Ziteng......

There is only one thing to think about: the family is not strict.

What the fuck is this?

Old Man Wei can be said to be the richest and most famous person in the country, and his nephew has also smoked hibiscus ointment.

For this crime, the punishment is heavenly.

When Liu Xi was demoted to a concubine and imprisoned, he shouted that Wang Ziteng conspired with him to rebel. But he has lived in the imperial tomb for a long time, and Uncle Wang is still bouncing around.

Wang Ziteng played Liu Xian, Liu Ye, the Zhen family and the four county palaces around, and he was able to play with people without losing the slightest trick.

With this alone, Jia Cong had to call each other the king of the Yin King.

Without involving Baoyu, the old lady's IQ reoccupied the high ground.

On the second day, she called Jia Jing, Jia Yu, and Jia Zheng to Rongxi Hall, discussed all morning, and made two major policies against the Wang family.

First, Wang Ziteng's title was inherited from Wang Xifeng's father. Therefore, the title of county earl must be inherited by Wang Ren or Wang Ren's son.

As for saying that Wang Ren is not a son of man, it doesn't matter, Wang Ren only needs to be a fertility tool, and Rongguo Mansion will focus on cultivating Wang Ren's son.

Second, the Jia family closely follows the pace of the emperor, and whatever the emperor says, the Jia family will do. The emperor asked the prince to go to the Martial Arts Academy to shine, and the Jia family supported the prince to be the vice president of the Martial Arts Academy.

However, the Jia family must sever the relationship between the clansmen and Wang Ziteng, including Baoyu and others, this uncle can't recognize it. Mrs. Wang also continued to stay in the Buddha hall to eat fasting and recite Buddha, and the Jia family only recognized Wang Xifeng's father.

……

The rest of the winter moon was quite comfortable, and the emperor directly granted a two-month vacation to the lord of pardon, so that he could rest well.

The news of the Anbei Protectorate has not yet come back, and Jia Cong asked Nie Chaoyi to continue to hang Goryeo and other vassal states, and he stayed in the mansion and did not go out to wave.

After staying up for a few days, he drew a sketch of the design of the battleship in his brain and threw it to the master of the Ministry of Engineering, and the rest of the days were either filial to his Lao Tzu, or playing with his sisters and sisters.

The only time he went out of the house was to the mansion of the eldest princess of Deqing, Jia Qiang returned to Beijing, and his marriage to Tu Siqi was officially put on the agenda.

What is the biggest advantage of the Jia family? That's how good it looks.

In addition, the royal people are basically a faction of the Yan Party, even if Jia Qiang is less solitary, he has won a lot of praise on the day of the recruitment.

As for the heroine of this family affair, Tu Siqi has long been fascinated by Jia Qiang's handsome face.

The comfortable days passed day by day, and on the third day of the lunar month, Wang Ziteng took the lead in returning to Beijing. The emperor ordered Liu Shuo, the fifth son of the emperor, to go out of the city to greet him, which was regarded as giving the prince great glory.

Neither Jia nor Lin went out of the city with everyone, and the emperor naturally did not applaud his confidants for this.

It wasn't until the twenty-first day of the lunar month that when the crown prince Liu Hong returned to Beijing, Jia Cong finally walked out of the Rongguo Mansion and went out of the city twenty miles west to greet the prince with the auxiliary ministers of the East Palace.

Liu Hong went out of Beijing for a year, and the biggest gain was that he really experienced the battle array, so that more than 100,000 Hexi troops became his supporters.

Jia Cong and the others did not disturb the reunion of the royal grandfather and grandson, welcomed the prince into the city and escorted him all the way back to the palace, and agreed to meet in the East Palace after the young age, and then went home.

Due to the spring festival in February next year, many people have already entered Beijing to prepare for the exam.

Jia Cong, who was riding a donkey, walked slowly along Zhengyang Street to the south, the sun was just right, and the sun was warm on his body, which made Jia Cong a little sleepy.

"Hey, Jia Xiaosan......"

Jia Cong looked up to the right, on the second floor of the teahouse facing the street, Liu Ke, the king of Zhongshun, was leaning on the railing and beckoning to him.

Recently, the emperor didn't arrange a job for this person, and the old man was swaying again.

Jia Cong handed over the donkey to his soldiers, boarded the teahouse and entered the private room, not wanting to see two familiar faces in the private room.

"Thirteenth Master...... His Royal Highness King Wu, Mr. Zhang, I didn't expect to meet two of you here. ”

It turned out that Liu Ke was drinking tea in the private room together, as well as Liu Chen, the king of Wu who was sitting in Jinling, and his son-in-law, Zhang Sanzhang Zhengju, the king of lawsuits.

"This king really didn't expect that it would only be two years after Jinling's farewell, and Xiao Jia Qianhu had already become the hereditary count of the dynasty."

Liu Chen always looks like a happy old man, but Jia Cong doesn't dare to underestimate this at all.

It was this one at the beginning, who ran all over Jinling City with artillery, washed the ground with artillery, and greeted the unjudicial gentry in Jinling one by one.

Zhang San was edicted into the capital by the emperor early and sent to Dali Temple to serve as a young secretary, and also served as a member of the criminal department, participating in the improvement of the "Great Xia Law".

Jia Cong still has a good impression of this king of lawsuits, but Zhang Shaoqing has been bound by the backlog of cases for more than a year, and he doesn't have much time to mess around with Jia Cong, and he rarely has time to get together.

After the greetings, Liu Ke winked at Jia Cong: "What about your father?" This king has encountered a funny thing, and he must be interested. ”

"Oh?"

Jia Cong spread his hands and said: "My father has been indulging in the fun of taking children recently, and he can't extricate himself, and it is estimated that he will take my second brother's daughter to show off the baby." ”

This is the truth, the old man has a new favorite - the eldest granddaughter. The good son immediately became picked up in the stinky ditch, and it was not pleasing to the eye when he looked at it horizontally and vertically, and he didn't like it.

Liu Ke thought of his daughter, hey, I understand!

"That's a pity, I also said to take him to see the excitement."

Skimming this little episode, Liu Ke nodded at Zhang Zhengju: "Let's say it, this kid has to help in this matter, he has a brain, and it will be much easier for you to have him." ”

Zhang Zhengju opened a box on the table, and there was a pile of files inside.

"Uncle, let's take a look at this dossier first......"

Jia Cong took it and took a look, only looked at the beginning and took a deep breath.

"Hey, is Mr. Zhang sure this is true?"

"Seven or eight out of ten."

Hiss!

According to Zhang Zhengju's prudence, that is, there is a ninety percent certainty.

Good guy, someone dares to take action against all over the place, don't die?

It turns out that Dali Temple has recently received several cases, and some people have reported that many people have taken hibiscus paste among the people who went to Beijing to prepare for the exam.

When it comes to poisons such as hibiscus ointment, Dali Temple naturally does not dare to delay. Zhang Zhengju personally led people to raid guild halls in various places, and 27 people who smoked hibiscus paste have been found.

Among them, the Jiangxi Association, the Fujian Association and the Nanzhili Association were the most involved. It can be said that the three most prosperous places in Daxia Wenhua were rounded by hibiscus cream.

According to the clues found so far, these lifters have only been in Beijing for more than a month, and they have only come into contact with hibiscus paste after entering Beijing, and they have only heard of it before but have never really seen it.

The beginning of their hibiscus paste was also extremely terrible, and someone added hibiscus cake to their incense, which made them unknowingly addicted.

It's not that it's strange, it's even stranger that someone will deliver hibiscus balm to their desk on time every day, rain or shine. Neither money nor facelessness.

Even the joint investigation between Dali Temple and the Dragon Guards could not find the black hand behind the case.

"The dragon guards squatted for several days, and only captured a few of the guild servants, and the husband who gave them hibiscus anointing. When the clue reached the husband, it was completely broken, because the husband did not know who the masked man who gave him the silver and hibiscus ointment was. ”

Zhang Zhengju looked tired, seeing that there were more and more moves to enter Beijing, and the spring was coming. If you don't find out who is behind the scenes, it will make people mess up next year's big competition, and the face of the emperor and the court will really be lost.

Of course, there is another reason why he investigated the case......

Liu Chen begged for Zhongshun Palace, Liu Ke was curious, but he knew that he had no ability to investigate the case, so he thought of Jia Cong, who had uncovered the case of hibiscus paste in the palace.

It just so happened that the prince returned to Beijing today, and Jia Cong would inevitably go out of the city to greet him, so Liu Ke took Liu Chen, the king of Wu, and Zhang Zhengju to Zhengyang Street to block people.

Jia Cong put the file back and asked suspiciously: "His Royal Highness King Wu, Mr. Zhang, it is said that such a big case involves next year's Spring Festival, and the Dragon Guards must have taken over, why did Mr. Zhang go to this troubled water?" ”

Liu Chen smiled bitterly, and after glancing at Zhang Zhengju, he saw him nodding, and then replied: "Because someone in the Nanzhili Hall was arrested by the Dragon Guards, that person actually slandered the Wu Wangfu, saying that this poison was sent to the Nanzhili Hall by the king." ”

Yes?

"Even so, Your Majesty won't believe it."

Zhang Zhengju took over and responded: "Your Majesty doesn't believe it, but the Nanzhili Hall has been spreading. Wu Wangfu Shizhen Jiangnan, if this case is not clear, but if next year's Spring Festival causes a storm because of this incident, the reputation of Wu Wangfu will be completely ruined. ”

Jia Cong nodded: "I understand, it's indeed a big trouble." ”

If the reputation of Wu Wangfu is ruined, what else will you say about Shizhen Jiangnan. Even the emperor knew the inside story of the case and believed in the Wu Palace, and he was afraid that he would have to transfer him back to the capital.

However, there is one thing that Jia Cong has already seen, and that is the origin of hibiscus cream.

Since the original case in the palace, hibiscus paste can be said to be shouted and beaten by everyone in Great Xia. All the opium poppies in various places have been eradicated, and the continuous fighting in southern Xinjiang has almost no channels for hibiscus paste to enter the country.

So, where did the hibiscus paste that is currently spreading in the capital come from?

Jia Cong expressed this doubt, and Zhang Zhengju also shook his head.

"Xia Guan also has this doubt, since he found out about this matter, Xia Guan and the Long Guards carefully investigated, this batch of poisons circulating in the capital seems to have appeared out of thin air, and the source cannot be found at all. Even if the lower officials have arrested a lot of poisoners, every three or five days, the shadow of hibiscus paste will appear again in the guild halls around the country. ”

"Could it be that the lifters brought it themselves? Mr. Zhang may have interrogated them. ”

Jia Cong's question made Zhang Zhengju even more bitter, and he nodded: "I asked a few people, but ......"

Zhang Zhengju led the people of Dali Temple to surround the Nanzhili Hall, the Jiangxi Hall and the Fujian Hall, and originally planned to interrogate the people who lived in them one by one.

I didn't want to just get up, but I was severely reprimanded by the people sent by He Yaomin, the secretary of the Ministry of Rites.

Spring is coming, Dali Temple because of the investigation of the case to prepare for the place where the children live in a disturbance, but also to interrogate the children.

What do you want to do? Do you want to mix up the spring of the eighth year of Yuan You?

The Dragon Guards didn't even dare to do this before the ceremony!

"That's the reason, if this group of test preparers make trouble, it will be a big trouble. In this way, Mr. Zhang and I went to the Dragon Guards to see if we found anything over there. ”

Jia Cong also knew that he was thinking simply, and sighed: "Investigating the case, you need to peel off the cocoon, you can't be in a hurry." His Royal Highness King Wu doesn't need to worry, the legal net is magnificent and not leaky, and no matter how cunning the mouse is, it can't escape the cat's eyes......"

Liu Chen saw that Jia Cong should respond to this matter, and his heart was a little relieved.

Although he is the prince of the clan, he is really not as good as Rongguo Mansion in the capital. With Jia Cong, a helper who is familiar with hibiscus cream, the chances of finding out who is behind the scenes will be much greater.

Liu Chen got up and bowed his hand to Jia Cong: "Please Uncle Yongfeng, he will come to the door to thank you one day." ”

Jia Cong returned a salute: "Your Highness is polite." ”

After saying that, he said goodbye to Liu Ke, walked out of the teahouse with Zhang Zhengju, and rushed to Fusi, the northern town of the Dragon Guard.

……

The means of the dragon guards are higher than those of Dali Temple, and according to the exploration of the dragon guards, the hibiscus paste that appeared in the Fujian Hall is very likely to be related to the Bosi of Quanzhou City.

Of course, there is no definite evidence yet. It's just that the spies of the Dragon Guards accidentally learned a news from the mouth of a Hongmaoyi merchant: When a merchant ship returned to Hong Kong in Quanzhou City, it secretly brought hibiscus paste into the customs.

Since the news was discovered, the Dragon Guards had already sent people to quickly go south to investigate, and there would be no news for a while.

Jia Cong and Zhang Zhengju did not delay, and hurried to the residence of the Hongmaoyi merchant in Xishi.

"Western Treasure Museum, a straightforward store name."

Jia Cong complained and looked at the shop in front of him. The three-storey shop shows the financial resources of its owner, and the capital of Daxia, where every inch of land is valuable, can afford to open such a large shop, and it is impossible to open it without hundreds of thousands of taels of silver.

"Oh~God! It turned out to be the Earl's own visit, the contemptible Hune Raymond, to meet the Earl...... Oh, and this one. ”

As soon as Jia Cong stepped into the door of the store, he saw a red-haired, tall Xiyi greeted him with an exaggerated smile of surprise.

This Xiyi's official language is good, and he doesn't have a single accent. Dressed in a common staff suit, his red hair was tied up and tied up with a silver hairpin.

It's nondescript and funny.

However, it also made Jia Cong see his shrewdness: this is a red hair who understands the psychology of the Han people!
