Jin Jiashu was stunned, looked at the engraving on the bottom of the gold ingot, and then looked up at Xie Wenzai's gentle but serious face, still a little confused in his mind.

He had seen the box of gold ingots from his father, Jin Juren, but he had never taken them out to play with, and he did not know what was engraved on the bottom of the gold ingots, let alone the meaning of the engraving.

He knew the origin of this box of gold ingots, but he never knew that it might reveal the secrets of their father and son!

Jin Jiashu was speechless, Xie Wenzai observed the expression on his face, and simply said more clearly: "The Inner Mansion will cast gold and silver ingots and gold and silver artifacts every year, if it is in the capital, you will occasionally see gold ingots made by the Inner Mansion on the market, which are all from the hands of high-ranking families and royal relatives." But this kind of gold ingot...... "he paused," he paused, "is usually a reward from the emperor to his subordinates." Even if the person who received the gold wanted to take it out, he would not hand over the entire box of gold ingots, which was a bit disrespectful. ”

Such a whole box of gold ingots, a full two thousand taels, is definitely not a reward that ordinary courtiers can get. Generally, the royal family, the royal family, the relatives of the emperor, and the high-ranking officials of the powerful ministers, every time they can get five hundred taels of gold and silver, they are already very decent, and they can earn thousands of gold, and they are the royal celebrities of the Holy Family!

At that time, Xie Wenzai's master Wu Wen'an was a scholar of the six books, and he was still the national ruler, and in the best relationship with Emperor Deguang, the son-in-law, he only got a gift of five hundred taels.

Not long after Sun Ge Lao entered the cabinet, it was at the peak of Sun Guifei's holy favor, and even the queen had to retreat, and at that time he was only rewarded with a thousand gold, and some people already thought that the emperor was too partial to him, which caused countless criticisms.

How can a person who is a gold man be able to receive a one-time reward of 2,000 gold?

And that's not even the number of multiple bounty stacks. The box was engraved with the seal of the inner house in an inconspicuous position, which was a matching item given together with the gold ingot, and it can be seen that this gift reached two thousand taels for a full box. Who can get such a rich bounty from the emperor at one time? Did the emperor reward the golden lifters? Or was it someone else who got the reward, but that person transferred the bounty and the box to the Jinjuren?

Or rather...... The Jinju people are not the owners of this box of gold, but the messenger responsible for delivering it?

But if he is not the owner of the gold, why is the second room of the Jin family resentful of him to the point of colluding with the killer and killing his whole family because he took the gold?

Xie Wenzai explained to Jin Jiashu the meaning of this box of gold ingots, looking at the young man's pale face, although he was a little unbearable, he still gave a warning: "You'd better tell the truth." It is impossible for a person who can get the gold ingot to die in Chang'an Mansion without knowing it. Zhuang Tong judged that he couldn't recognize the origin of this box of gold ingots, and there were still nobles in the Chang'an Mansion, and someone would soon find out, and he would definitely report the matter to Beijing and ask the identity of the owner of the box of gold. Once the capital is alarmed, sooner or later someone will come to take over the case. If the Chang'an Mansion can't find useful clues by then, it will definitely be punished. And someone from the capital will take over the investigation of the case, and they will no longer show mercy to your subordinates and let you keep silent. ”

The point is that if Jin Jiashu admits that he is the son of Jin Juren, as the heir to the imperial gold ingot, it is possible that someone from Beijing will be polite to him; But if he insisted that he was the son of a servant woman, the people from Beijing would never take him seriously, and once he was in a hurry, it was not impossible to torture him. What secret did he hide? Is it really necessary to suffer like this?

Xie Wenzai hopes that Jin Jiashu can think carefully and not make a wrong decision and ruin his good life.

After saying these words, Xie Wenzai mentioned the disposal of the bodies of the victims. Now all the dead people of the Jin family have been transferred to the nearby Yizhuang, waiting for the government to come and do further testing. But considering their posthumous affairs, the government needs to temporarily withdraw a sum of money from Jin Juren's estate to buy things such as shrouds, coffins, incense and candles, and after the autopsy is completed, the deceased will be properly buried. Before the relatives of the Jin family come to collect the body, the coffin will be temporarily parked in Yizhuang. As for the relics and inheritances left behind, they will be returned to the relatives along with the coffin.

At present, Zhuang Tongju has planned to send people to Zunhua Prefecture to investigate the identity of Jin Juren, and notify his relatives to come to collect the body, and will also visit the whereabouts and incriminating evidence of the people in the second room of the Jin family. If, as Jin Jiashu said, the second room of the Jin family participated in the murder of Jin Juren's family, of course it is impossible for the Chang'an Mansion to let them deal with the aftermath of the Jin family and make a fortune. But in this case, who can preside over the funeral of the Jin family? Who can send them back to their homeland for burial?

Xie Wenzai hopes that Jin Jiashu can think clearly and not cause his relatives to die without a place to be buried. It is not that the bodies of passers-by who died in Chang'an have not been parked in Yizhuang, and no relatives have come to pick them up, so they can only rely on the kindness of the local villagers and gentry, and bury their bones in a foreign land, how desolate it is.

If Kaneki insists on being the son of a servant woman, the most he can do is take his mother's body. If you want to take away the relics of the Jin family and the Jin family, you must have a letter of entrustment from the relatives of the Jin family, or a reliable guarantor to come forward to endorse him. Because the Chang'an Mansion needed to be prepared, some outsiders took away the dead and relics of the Jin family under false names, but they threw their bodies into the wilderness afterwards and only took away their belongings. If this kind of thing really happens, the face of the Chang'an Mansion will not be said, and the relatives of the Jin family may also hold them accountable later, and the trouble will be endless!

The more Jin Jiashu listened, the more pale his face became, and the whole person was already shaky.

Seeing this, Xie Wenzai didn't plan to continue to force this child, and also gave the other party a little time to think. He put the gold ingot back away and stood up: "You think about it carefully, which is more important?" You may have some concerns in your heart, but after all, you are still young, and many things are not clear and not thoughtful enough, and it is inevitable that you will make mistakes. If you have any questions, just ask me. My surname is Xie, Xie Wenzai, and I am the cousin who saved your Haidu Shi, and now I live in this courtyard. In the afternoon, Zhuang Tong's judgment or Chang'an County's Geng County Decree may come to you and ask more about the case. If you have anything to say, don't hesitate to tell them. These two are upright and benevolent elders, and they are known for their reputations, and they will surely uphold justice for you. ”

After that, Xie Wenzai glanced at the robe in Jin Jiashu's hand again, and also saw the edge of the envelope exposed at the cuffs, but he didn't make a sound, just left the wing room calmly, and helped Jin Jiashu close the door with his backhand, and let the latter lie on the kang and think quietly.

However, Xie Wenzai left the wing room, but did not immediately return to the main room where he lived to pack his luggage, but strode towards the courtyard next door, and unsurprisingly heard the slight footsteps of quickly leaving.

It must be Baoshun's kid eavesdropping!

Xie Wenzai smiled coldly, walked all the way to the east wing where Haijiao lived, closed the door with his backhand, and saw that Haijiao and Haitang brothers and sisters were standing in the house, as if they were talking, so he raised his hand to stop Haitang from speaking: "Tangtang doesn't have to cover up for your brother." I know your brother was eavesdropping outside the wing, and he didn't run away until I came out! ”

Haijiao's eyes widened, and he couldn't help but show a trace of grievance on his face.

It's true that he eavesdropped, but he eavesdropped with his sister! The brother and sister were caught, and they were punished together, why did the cousin only scold him, but didn't mention his sister?!

Haitang, who used light skills when he escaped, quietly pinched his brother and warned him not to betray himself, but said casually: "Don't be angry, cousin." Just now, you were outside the wing, and you also heard what my brother and I said to Jin Jiashu, right? We just wanted to convince Kim to tell the truth. So many people died, if Jin Jiashu knew the inside story, how could he deliberately conceal the clues?! ”
