Jiang Dezhong is talking about the item.

Old man Jiang is also a "celebrity" in Nanjing, but because this kind of celebrity does not have the support of the imperial examination status, he is actually a local tyrant at most, but after getting in touch with Zhang Zhou, he instantly became a hot white glove in the capital.

Zhang Zhoudao: "Really? I don't know? ”

Jiang Dezhong said with a smile: "You should go and see the family tree, if there are still people on the mother family's side, find someone to ask carefully, and you will know that there is no lie." ”

"That's a coincidence."

Zhang Zhou didn't think what Jiang Dezhong said was ridiculous.

Small world theory, that is, any two strangers, through the relationship between the five layers of intermediaries, can always be connected, such a distant relative, if it is not because of something to ask for, Zhang Zhou also understands that he will not have any relationship in this life.

Originally, Daming was a patrilineal society, and his wife was not considered a close relative, let alone a relative who couldn't be beaten by his mother.

"And what do they want?" Zhang Zhou asked.

Jiang Dezhong sighed: "I don't know what taboo this family has committed, saying that the head of the family has been taken away for more than a month, and no one is alive or dead, and the family asked someone to inquire, but more than half a month ago, even the old and young in the family were taken, and it was still the hand of Jinyiwei." ”

"Hmm." Zhang Zhou nodded, "The case of Yongping Mansion was taken by Jinyiwei, and it was Jinyiwei's commander who personally took people there. ”

Jiang Dezhong asked, "Can't you be accommodating?" In the end, there are some relatives, I didn't know before, but now that I know, I might as well give face. The family over there will definitely be a lot of gratitude. ”

Zhang Zhoudao: "Father-in-law, let me ask you, what does this matter have to do with you?" ”

"This ......"

Jiang Dezhong's old face was a little ashamed, "Speaking of which, my old bones used to have a little business in the north, and they didn't make wine, but they just purchased some things, so they had some friendship with the people of Yongping Mansion, and this time they were also entrusted by others." I also know that you are disgusted with these things, this is not a matter of the British public, I have never used your identity to oppress people, this time I am just here to inform you. ”

Zhang Zhoudao: "Tomorrow I will go to the Tribute Academy, preside over the township examination, and when I came out, it was more than half a month later, and this case was investigated by Jinyi Wei." ”

Jiang Dezhong said: "Even if it's a relative, don't you give face?" ”

Zhang Zhou squinted at Old Man Jiang and said, "I won't do anything that bends the law for personal gain, and I haven't seen anyone, so how can I go to show favoritism?" ”

I don't give money, I don't give any benefits, I just say that I am a distant relative, and I want to be accommodating, and I risk being accused of favoritism to help you get free?

"Why don't you see someone?" Jiang Dezhong said.

"Doesn't it mean that everyone in this family has already gone to prison? Is there anyone else who can get out and walk around? Zhang Zhou frowned slightly, listening to this meaning, there was a fish that slipped through the net.

Jiang Dezhong said: "A daughter who married out of this family is your cousin's...... Sister-in-law, because she has been married to a side family, she has not had the opportunity to come out to walk around, and she has recently visited many people in Beijing, and she doesn't even have anyone who can talk to you. She's kind of found me. ”

Zhang Zhou couldn't help but smile when he heard this.

The relationship is messy enough.

The daughter of her grandfather and sister, who is equivalent to saying that she is her cousin, married into the Huang family, and her husband's sister married into someone else's family, and now there is an accident in the family, and then this daughter comes out to help move around......

"Father-in-law, let me tell you, how much silver did she give you?" Zhang Zhou asked with a smile.

"I didn't give a penny." Jiang Dezhong's old face flushed and said, "Even if I give it, can I accept it?" But she's not easy...... How can I say it, this woman still has some means, and she will give whatever she should give...... However, it is said that her husband's family may also be involved in the case now, and she is also helping to move around. ”

Something happened to her mother's family, and she has been involved in the whole case.

The husband's family may also be involved......

This woman is equivalent to saying that she can't hide.

"If you don't give money, what will I do when I see her?" Zhang Zhou smiled.

Jiang Dezhong said: "No, I heard that Bingkuan will open a mine in Yongping Mansion in the future, and it is good to have someone who can help." And then there's the fact that these families are actually connected to each other...... There will always be relatives between each family, as long as they defect to you, what do you want to do in Yongping Mansion in the future, then it is not like a fish in water? ”

"Well, my father-in-law's vision seems to have improved a lot."

Zhang Zhou's words sounded like he was complimenting Jiang Dezhong, but he was more sarcastic.

Jiang Dezhong also knew that this was not a good word, and sighed: "The big families everywhere are actually in such a situation, where do you want to take root, if you don't have a good relationship with them, you may end up losing both." Even that place in the south of the Yangtze River...... It's a shame to say that no one used to take care of the little old man and me, but now they want to tie up, and I don't care about them. ”

Speaking of which, Jiang Dezhong seemed to have his waist straightened.

I am very proud of having a good son-in-law, and when my son-in-law was in the most difficult situation, even if I was snobbish, I still helped him.

Then the son-in-law didn't completely forget about him, and helped him after he developed, so that he could make his business bigger.

"You're right, I used to work in Yongping Mansion, and it was because I didn't have a good relationship with the local government that this situation happened, and now that there is a chance to reconcile, you should seize the opportunity. But I'm going to the Tribute House tomorrow, and I may not have time to do it. ”

"It's okay, the old man will let people come and see him. Or is it...... See you somewhere. ”

"Just my old house." Zhang Zhou said, "Don't be too high-profile. By the way, I will also call the people of Jinyiwei to come over, and ask them what is going on with this case. ”

"Okay, okay." As if he had completed a very important matter, Jiang Dezhong got up and walked out, as if he was in a hurry to inform him.

……

……

Zhang Zhou wanted to go to the Tribute Institute to preside over the Shuntianfu Township Test.

The case of Yongping Mansion was supported by Qin Ming, and after entering, it stands to reason that he had to ask first.

Zhang Zhou first sent someone to invite Mu Bin, the commander of the Jinyi Guard, to come over, and when he arrived at his old house, he first asked Mu Bin to show him the case file, and then went to see the so-called cousin's sister-in-law.

Afternoon.

In Zhang Zhou's old house, Zhang Zhou sat down with Mu Bin and talked for a long time.

Mu Bin sat very restrained.

Zhang Zhou is a big man in the end, even if the emperor does not believe in Zhang Zhou, even if Zhang Zhou is just a Cai Guogong, his status is much higher than that of Mu Bin, and the commander of Jinyi Wei only looks beautiful, for the ordinary people, his status is favored, but in front of the real power class, he is still a head shorter.

Of course, in different periods of the Ming Dynasty, there was also a gap between the real power of Jinyiwei.

"This Huang family does have some kinship with Cai Guogong, and the lowly position is only known today, and it seems that there is no lie in sending someone to investigate." Mu Bin was very careful.

He seemed to be glad that before he came, Guo Ang checked everything for him.

Otherwise, when asked by Zhang Zhou, he really couldn't answer.

Zhang Zhoudao: "It's just a distant relative, and you don't have to cover it up." ”

Mu Bin nodded and said: "I have inquired in detail, the Huang family only has some business dealings with the Zhao family, the heads of the two families have discussed doing business together, and then there are some industries that intersect, in fact, there is no empirical evidence to prove that they have a common crime, even if it is a crime, it is only a business transaction with Waiyi, it stands to reason that it is only sentenced to exile...... That's it. ”

Because the border cities of the Ming Dynasty have been cut off, even those prefectures and counties that are close to the border cities, especially those like Yongping Mansion, which themselves trade with foreign Yi through Jizhou Town, will have an impact.

They will always engage in smuggling through some channels.

If you are caught, you will be exiled or punished with a cane.

If you have to set a "tongfan", it's not impossible, and a few people will be killed at that time...... As long as there is money to be put up, the matter will generally be at the level of the governor of the prefecture or Jizhen, and it will be suppressed and will not be reported.

Zhang Zhou said with a smile: "Commander Mu is discerning. ”

I heard that it was my distant relative, and I could have no evidence if I had evidence, and it seemed that I was Cai Guogong and selfless.

You Mu Bin will also be able to do things.

"Someone will come to see me in a while, saying that they will talk about the case in detail, and Commander Mu will have time to listen?" Zhang Zhou asked with a smile.

"Yes." Mu Bin quickly stood up.

After responding, he wondered if this should be answered yes or no.

"Grandpa, if there is anything inconvenient, you can avoid it." Mu Bin added.

Zhang Zhou smiled: "No, it's all for the case, how is the principle of this case?" ”

Mu Bin said: "Your Majesty has instructions, as long as it is convenient for you to open a mine in Yongping Mansion and can do your business, everything is up to you to decide." ”

This case is yours, you can forgive whoever you want, and you can handle whoever you want.

Of course, we still do bad things for us, and the infamy is also borne by us Jinyiwei.

"Good work." Zhang Zhou said, "Come on, go and spread the word, let the visitors come here to meet." ”

……

……

Zhang Zhouduan sat in the main seat of the main hall, while Mu Bin sat in the position of the guest, at this time Mu Bin was dressed in regular clothes, and he could also feel a lot of pressure when he met guests with Zhang Zhou.

When he saw that the person who came was a woman in her forties, Mu Bin looked a little more relaxed.

The woman was led in by Liu Gui, and Liu Gui said, "This is my master." ”

The appearance of the woman is an ordinary coarse cloth clothes, but the silk and satin material exposed by the neckline can hardly be concealed, which is a typical travel to hide, not to show wealth, rich and noble, is the standard of work in these years.

Although most of the big families in this era also have government backgrounds, they also know that once they come out, they will become the target of public criticism, just like this time.

If it weren't for the idea of some big local households in Yongping Province to attack the mines, they would not have suffered such great retaliation.

"The people's woman Cai Huang, meet the Lord Guogong."

As he spoke, he knelt down and kowtowed to Zhang Zhou respectfully.

After three rings, even his head fell to the ground, and he would not stand up straight and make any eye contact with Zhang Zhou, or other disrespectful behavior.

"Cai Huang's ......" Zhang Zhou repeated.

People with the surname Cai are rare.

"The women of the people are." Woman.

"What's the matter, get up and speak. I heard that you are here for your mother's case? Zhang Zhoudao.

The woman lifted her head a little, but she still bowed her head, and the people continued to kneel on the ground, without looking at each other.

In recent years, the gap between the government and the people is very large, and now the woman also knows that she is here to beg Zhang Zhou to do something, if she doesn't fulfill the courtesy, she is likely to be swept out of the house directly.

The woman said: "My lord is right, my mother's family has suffered some grievances, all because of a villain's frame-up. I heard that there are villains in the county who covet my mother's Huang family, and there are people who have been treated a little unfairly in the Huang family, so they came out to make false accusations. ”

Zhang Zhouxiao looked at Mu Bin on the side and said, "What does Commander Mu think?" ”

The woman knelt on the ground, and she wondered who the person sitting next to her was, even if Zhang Zhou called Mu Bin "Mu Commander", she didn't know what this commander meant.

"Is it a villain's grievance, and another said, how dare you say that Jinyiwei is taking people for no reason?" Of course, Mu Bin wants to refute it.

You little woman.

I'm really blind.

I don't know that the culprit who arrested your mother's family, that is, the commander of the Benjin Guard, is sitting next to you? You open your mouth and close your mouth and your mother's family are all falsely accused, even if you don't name Jinyiwei to make false accusations, but in fact, it means that we can't see the details, and even unite with your enemies to wronged you?

Cai Huang said: "The woman heard from the government that she was the one who sued the Huang family, and the one who had been kicked out by the Huang family. ”

Mu Bin glanced at Zhang Zhou first, but seeing that Zhang Zhou didn't say anything, he sneered: "Your Huang family, because you are involved in the Zhao family, have done business with foreign countries, and have a lot of improper dealings, and even bribes to the generals guarding the customs, these are all verified by Jinyiwei." ”

"If you go back to your words, it's not like that......" Cai Huang quickly kowtowed again, and continued to argue.

Zhang Zhou said with a smile: "Cai Huang family, I can understand your thoughts of excusing your mother's family, but the one sitting in front of you, but the commander of the Jinyi Guard, is your Huang family who he took someone to get it, does he not know the facts of the case?" ”

Cai Huang's body shook.

Suddenly, I felt like someone was holding a knife to my neck, and I had already begun to fall.

Commanding the Jinyi Guard, it was because his mother's family died not early enough.

Zhang Zhoudao: "However, Commander Mu also said that the Zhao family of Yongping Mansion is the culprit of Tongfan, if your Huang family is willing to come out to testify against them, then you can still open the net." ”

Cai Huang hurriedly said: "This is nature. ”

Zhang Zhou looked at Mu Bin again and said, "Commander Mu, do you think this is good?" ”

"Naturally, you can." While responding, Mu Bin was thinking, Your Majesty has let you decide for yourself, why do you still seem to care about my opinion?

My words, do they work?

Zhang Zhoudao: "But I won't be able to ask about this case for a while in the future, or will this case be delayed first?" ”

Mu Bin said: "Your Majesty instructed Cai Guogong to preside over the case, and naturally wait for Cai Guogong to complete the errand of the Shuntianfu Township Test, and then make a decision." ”

"Then let's continue to investigate." Zhang Zhou said, "After I come out, this case will be decided." ”

"My lord, the women still have something to invite." When Cai Huang heard this, Zhang Zhou was ready to pick a pick.

Her idea is that it is rare to come to see Zhang Zhou, this is probably the last chance, if she leaves like this, it is equivalent to seeing in vain.

Zhang Zhoudao: "Say." ”

Cai Huang said: "The woman wants to meet her father who is in prison, and say a few words to him so that he can know the situation outside...... Tell him what happened, and let him ...... Look at it. ”

This is to ventilate the old father and let the old father find the direction to exonerate the Huang family.

Zhang Zhou glanced at Mu Bin, and Mu Bin immediately understood, nodded and said, "As long as Cai Guogong allows it, it's still okay to meet each other." But someone has to be there. ”

"Yes. The woman thanked the two adults. ”

After speaking, he kowtowed respectfully and thanked each other. (End of chapter)
