Chapter 142: Shi Shangshu Falls

Gongsun Jing anxiously said the situation, which made Xia Jingyun frown after hearing it.

The situation is not complicated, Wang Ruoshui, the ceremonial priest of the Ministry of Rites, was originally the descendant of Li Tianfeng, the former waiter of the Ministry of Rites, who is now the governor of Surabaya Prefecture, and naturally followed Concubine De with his boss, and now he is also a strong competitor for the Ministry of Rites, and he can be regarded as a relatively important role in the already not so powerful forces of the DPRK and China.

This person has good ability, and he was quite good at a ceremony in the imperial court, and he was once given a wrench by His Majesty.

It is quite extraordinary for a petty official like him to be able to obtain the things of the imperial gift.

But just this morning, it was stolen.

If the gift is lost, this crime must be strictly investigated, and it will be killed.

Wang Ruoshui was naturally frightened, but he was busy for most of the day, but he found nothing, so he had to ask for help from the Jiang'an Hou Mansion to seek assistance from Concubine De.

Xia Jingyun listened silently and looked up at Gongsun Jing, "Mr. Gongsun, is this matter related to you?" ”

Xia Jingyun's directness made Gongsun Jing almost overwhelmed, but this matter really has nothing to do with him, and his means haven't been used yet.

He shook his head, "Childe, if you lend me ten guts, it's impossible to make a fuss about such things!" There is no doubt about my devotion to my mother. ”

Xia Jingyun looked at him, "If you let me know that this matter is related to you, I will make you regret not doing it at the beginning!" ”

The aura that suddenly opened up in full swing shocked Gongsun Jing's heart, and then he was a little angry, yelling at me! You have the ability to solve the problem!

Xia Jingyun didn't hesitate, and immediately got up, "Lead the way!" ”

Gongsun Jing was stunned for a moment, and Xia Jingyun said: "To solve the problem, naturally we must first find that Wang Langzhong and ask about the situation." ”

"Yes!"

In the main hall of the house, Wang Langzhong was restless, and there was no nobleness in his eyebrows, and he was full of panic.

He looked at the servant standing aside, "Do you think Mr. Gongsun can think of a way?" ”

The servant hurriedly comforted: "Mr. Gongsun has been in charge of all affairs under Niangniang for many years, and he has a good relationship in Beijing, so he will definitely be able to solve this matter, and he can press this matter even if it is not good." ”

Wang Langzhong breathed a sigh of relief, and then sighed again, "I hope, why did you say I raised such a white-eyed wolf?"

As he was talking, there was a voice outside, and Wang Langzhong hurriedly stood up and looked at the door respectfully.

Unexpectedly, the first thing that appeared was a handsome and picturesque face, which made him feel a little pleasing to the eye.

Then he saw the familiar Mr. Gongsun, and a fresh face.

"Wang Langzhong, this is the righteous brother of Niangniang, Xie Yuan of Surabaya Prefecture, Xia Jingyun, Xia Gongzi."

"Childe, this is Wang Ruoshui in the Ministry of Etiquette."

Gongsun Jing took the initiative to introduce, Wang Ruoshui was also suddenly in his heart, and he was even more dignified, and hurriedly said respectfully: "Wang Ruoshui, the word is clear, I have seen the son." ”

Xia Jingyun stretched out his hand to support it and said with a smile: "No need to be polite. ”

Sitting down, Xia Jingyun took the initiative to say: "Wang Langzhong, presumably you have no intention of being polite at this moment, let's not talk nonsense, let's talk about the situation, let's think of a way together." ”

Wang Ruoshui hesitated and glanced at Gongsun Jing, Gongsun Jing said: "Wang Langzhong, Gongzi is the righteous brother of Niangniang, and he is a person who can represent Niangniang. ”

Although he didn't make this happen, it was a good opportunity to accomplish his goal, so the verbal praise came out naturally.

Wang Ruoshui looked at Xia Jingyun's immature face, and a feeling of distrust naturally welled up in his heart.

Although he has heard about the affairs of Surabaya Prefecture, who can guarantee that it is not Concubine De Niangniang who deliberately pushed some credit over in order to make a name for him?

has been in the officialdom for so many years, has he seen less of this kind of thing?

But he had already talked to this place, and he had no other better way, so he had to treat the dead horse as a live horse doctor, and said the situation, "It's all my fault, I put this thing in the study on weekdays, put it in a box, and wipe it carefully, just thinking that there are no outsiders in the study, but I didn't expect to get out of the ghost, so he can easily get it!" ”

Xia Jingyun raised his eyebrows, "Listen to what you mean, you have already locked up the suspect?" ”

Suspect?

Although Wang Ruoshui hadn't heard of this word, he easily understood the meaning and nodded, "Yes, there are only a few people in my study who can enter, and after half a day of investigation, it has been locked. Suspect. ”

Gongsun Jing frowned and said, "Since the prisoner has been locked up, and he is directly controlled, wouldn't it be better to torture him?" ”

Wang Ruoshui sighed, "If it's so easy, then why should I come to Mr. Gongsun." ”

"The theft of this imperial gift does not dare to make a noise, otherwise it will provoke the imperial history or the black ice platform, and I am afraid that something big will happen. If I directly arrest and torture him, he will not say anything, and I will be helpless with him. If he was moved by emotion and reason, he would not agree to such a thing so easily. So, I'm in a dilemma! I can only block the news and come to ask for help! ”

He rubbed his eyebrows, "I don't know what kind of madness this dog has committed, I treat him well on weekdays, but I want to act like this, causing me to lose my official position and even die and the clan will be destroyed!" ”

Xia Jingyun's heart jumped, he just had a fight with the son of the Ministry of Rites last night, could it be that this is the counterattack given by the other party?

Thinking of this, he couldn't help but be a little surprised, maybe he had cheated this Wang Langzhong!

Su Yuanshang, who came with Xia Jingyun, couldn't help but bow his head slightly, the world was as clear as he was, and he also guessed that this Wang Langzhong might really have suffered an unwarranted disaster.

Then, maybe it was the will of heaven, or maybe it was the Ministry of Rites Shangshu who secretly fell into the house that thought so, so that Wang Langzhong went around and around, and asked for Xia Jingyun, the main master.

However, can Xia Jingyun solve this game?

Su Yuanshang thought about it, with his ability, he also felt a little tricky for a while, as long as the other party didn't admit it, Wang Langzhong really had no choice.

If it was an ordinary thing, his own slave would be killed if he died, and Daxia Law would not pursue it, but as long as he wanted to recover the things given by the emperor, he would not dare to act like this.

The other party is also emboldened because of this.

However, the fortunate thing in the misfortune is that this matter is not yet known to outsiders, and there is still time to plan slowly.

Otherwise, if time is pressing, then you will really have to catch blind.

Just thinking like this, two people suddenly ran outside the door, and a servant of the Hou Mansion led another person dressed as a small servant to stop at the door.

"Gongzi, Mr. Gongsun, someone from Wang Langzhong's mansion is here."

As soon as Wang Langzhong saw that he was one of his henchmen, his heart jumped, and he quickly stood up, with a bit of hope on his face, "What's wrong?" But something found? ”

The little guy's face fell, "Master, somehow, Shi Shangshu knew about this and sent someone to ask, and he wanted to do the inspection!" ”

"Huh?"

Wang Langzhong's face was full of blood, his face instantly turned pale, and he sat down on the chair, "It's over, it's over!" ”

Gongsun Jing also frowned, "What does this matter have to do with Shi Shangshu, why did he send someone to investigate, this is obviously to put you to death!" Wang Langzhong, could it be that you offended Shi Shangshu? ”

"Where do I dare to offend Lord Shangshu!" Wang Langzhong cried with a sad face, and was about to kneel down towards Gongsun Jing, "Mr. Gongsun, save me!" ”

Gongsun Jing hurriedly stretched out his hand to help him up, "Wang Langzhong, you can't afford such a big gift!" Hurry up, please! ”

"Mr. Gongsun, there is no way to do it! If Shi Shangshu really wants to make a fuss about this, I will lose my official position and go to the ministry, I am afraid that the lives of the whole family will not be guaranteed! ”

Gongsun Jing glanced at Xia Jingyun, who was silent, "Wang Langzhong, don't worry, I'll leave now, visit Shi Shangshu, let him raise his noble hand, even if it costs a big price, I will try to save you." ”

Wang Langzhong was grateful, and said continuously: "Thank you, Mr. Gongsun, thank you, Mr. Gongsun." ”

Gongsun Jing waved his hand, "Without further ado, let's go!" ”

"Wait a minute!"

Xia Jingyun, who had been silent for a long time, suddenly opened his mouth and stopped the two.

Wang Ruoshui was so anxious that he couldn't care about humility, and said directly: "Young Master Xia, when is this, don't delay it!" ”

Xia Jingyun didn't care, and said calmly: "Since Shi Shangshu took the initiative to make a move, what result can you ask to come to?" After such a big man makes a decision, how can he be impressed by his idle wealth! ”

Gongsun Jing frowned, he consciously saw through Xia Jingyun's ability, and his tone was a little unpolite, "Then you have to give it a try!" You can't just watch Wang Langzhong's catastrophe coming! ”

Xia Jingyun smiled faintly, "Who said that I am watching here, I already have a solution to this matter, we don't have to grovel to ask for help, we can also resolve this matter satisfactorily." ”
