Chapter 1258: Becoming a Defendant

Reborn in the last year of Kangxi, Volume 6, Qing Pingle, Volume 9, Chapter 1258 of Jinmen, became a defendant

Old Summer Palace, Qinzheng Palace, East Pavilion.

Shuntian Mansion Yin Chen Shouchuang knelt in front of the emperor and "got on the fold."

This henchman of the Son of Heaven, who was promoted from the Ministry of Works, "is not putting on any iron-faced imperial history now, but is obedient and tight."

Yongzheng asked the chamberlain to take his fold, "waved his hand and shouted."

The Thirteenth Master happened to be discussing government affairs in front of the palace before, sitting on the side, looking at Chen Shouchuang, thinking about his intentions in his heart.

As the governor of the Beijing government, "Lian Shouchuang not only has the grade of the three products, but also has the right to directly hand over the brand.

What's not at peace in the city?

The thirteenth elder brother pondered, and with the corner of his eye, he glanced at the emperor behind the imperial case.

The emperor looked at the excerpt, his expression was a little weird, not as if he was worried, the corners of his mouth were slightly upturned, with a little sarcasm.

At this time, the emperor had already seen the excerpts, and said to the thirteenth elder brother: "Someone handed over the paper to Shuntianfu to sue Cao Hao for embezzling people's wealth!" With that, he handed the fold to the attendant on the side, and motioned for the thirteenth elder brother to send it.

When the thirteenth elder brother heard this, he only felt strange, and took the fold, "I took a quick look, and then looked at the paper attached to the back, and then I was sure that I had heard it correctly, and it was indeed someone who sued Cao Hao."

Encroachment on people's wealth?!

The thirteenth elder brother didn't even have the idea of defending Cao Xian for a few words, because this crime was really outrageous.

Cao Yi has a good reputation in the officialdom, and the emperor looks at him well, in addition to his hard work and respectfulness, another reason is that he is rich and not greedy.

does not flatter, does not press, guards the most oily and watery yamen, and never stretches out his hand.

Others don't know, but the well-informed Thirteenth Elder Brother knows the Cao family's source of income.

In addition to Zhuangzi and "Daoxiang Village", "there are also dividends from shops in Guangzhou." The Cao family even has a hidden business, "which is also profitable."

That is the "Western beauty cream".

In the Thirteenth Elder Brother's Mansion, there are also several bottles of "jade-colored glass bottles" with miniature versions of Western beauty heads on the outside.

In the foreign goods shops in the capital, such a bottle of beauty cream "will be sold for four or five taels of silver a bottle."

In fact, "these things are all produced in Macau, and they are secretly bought and sold by the Cao family."

Even if it is a bottle of four or five taels of silver, if the effect is not good, it will not be promoted. Since this thing can "occupy a place in the capital" within a few years, it can be seen that the effect is quite good.

Although the thirteenth elder brother didn't know the formula of this "beauty cream", he knew that the Lord used pearl powder as an ingredient.

In the rouge shops in the capital, the most important thing is pearl paste, pearl powder or something, but the price of the ordered things is not as good as the "beauty cream".

Cao Yi, who has several ways to make money, "I have only heard of scattered wealth in Pingsu, and the crime of embezzling other people's property is a bit funny?"

Chen Shouchuang knew Cao Yi, and the two were officials in the same dynasty, but they nodded their heads.

Chen Shouchuang would not naively think that with a piece of paper in hand, he could play the role of the iron-faced imperial historian "leading people to crusade against the Hubu Shangshu who holds real power."

It is true that he himself is a courtier of the emperor, and Cao Yi's favor may not be under him.

Besides, he is no longer the imperial history.

Jingfu Yin, at the feet of the Son of Heaven, requires stability in advance.

When he saw the paper, "his first reaction was not to explore the truth of the matter, but to pay attention to whether there were officials behind the paper, and whether it would cause political shocks."

It is a matter of whether the second grade Jingtang "files a case or not", and how to file a case, it is not something that he can decide as a Jingzhao Mansion Yin.

So, there was a royal request.

"What do you think?" The emperor asked the thirteenth elder brother.

The thirteenth elder brother shook his head with a smile and replied: "This piece of paper seems to be vibrant, but it is a little lacking in confidence. In front of this, the Cao family embezzled the banker's property and did not let go", but the latter cited the village's dowry property as a witness. Since the Zhuang family's house and land property are all returned to the Zhuang family's dowry, the previous statement that the Cao family embezzled the people's wealth is somewhat incorrect. ”

Chen Shouchuang listened to the "sigh of relief in his heart."

Even if everyone said that Cao Hao was kind, Chen Shouchuang didn't want to offend him plainly.

Although he is older than Cao Hao, "when it comes to officialdom qualifications, he is a big step behind Cao Hao."

He finished doing a good job of Fu Yin, "in the upper part of the promotion of the Lang: at that time" Cao Yi may go further and worship the prime minister.

Today is his unlucky day, because the emperor continued to talk and asked him to file a case for trial

Household, Shang Shufang.

Seeing the documents sent by the Criminal Department, Cao Hao couldn't help frowning.

The dust finally settled on the case of Cha Si Ting, "Cha Si Ting and his son Chuck died in prison, and the other sons were under the age of fifteen and were enslaved in the family of meritorious heroes.

Among the two brothers, the eldest brother was an elderly family, and he had no reason to know about the evil things he had done, so he forgave both the father and son and released him to return home.

Brother Cha Sisu and nephew Cha Ji were both spared from dying for 3,000 miles. Cha Siting should pursue the family property in his name, change the price, and leave it in the Xijiang River to fill the sea pond project.

Because the thirteenth elder brother was entrusted in advance, the Cao family was also added to the list of "Heroes Home".

Cha Sisu's two sons, Cha Kai and Cha Xue, will serve in Cao Mansion as official slaves.

Such a result can be regarded as an explanation for Cao Xiang, but Cao Hao X is not happy.

Because from Jiang Jian's side, he also heard another news about the Cha family.

Cha Siting's wife and daughter-in-law committed suicide, and the other daughters of the Cha family will follow their adult father, son and nephew for 3,000 miles.

did not punish the daughters of the Cha family as slaves" to leave some leeway for the Cha family in Jiangnan; The Zha family and Nianding were all enslaved" cut off their road to the imperial examination for several generations.

In the final analysis, the Cha family is still too popular, and they are already in charge of Shilin Niuer.

Because he was not good at doing too much, Cao Yi only ordered Cao Man to bring his name to the criminal department to receive people.

Regarding the placement of the two brothers, Cha Kai and Cha Xue, Cao Yi was only indifferent on his face, and asked people to take them to the next room for resettlement, and did not treat them differently.

The turmoil in the case of the Cha family has just been extinguished, and he doesn't want to cause the emperor to be angry because of this.

There are two brothers, one is fourteen and the other is nine, and the older Cha Kai has already taken the Xiucai exam, not to mention his gentle and elegant appearance, and he also has ink in his stomach.

Cao Yi thought for a while, "Then he instructed Cao Yuan to arrange the two brothers to be scholars next to Changsheng and Tianbao."

Compared with the six departments, the news of the Hanlin Academy lagged behind, but after all, the Cha family was a Yahu in the Hanlin Academy, and how many people paid attention to it, so Cao Xiang was also exiled by his teacher, and the Cao family rewarded the "official slave".

He was so anxious that he couldn't wait to go home immediately to see what was going on, but he was busy with the Hanlin Academy today, and several newly appointed editors came to him to ask for leave of absence, and they coped with it for a while before they got out.

When he came out of the Yamen, Cao Xiang did not return to the East Mansion, but went directly to the West Mansion.

He was sad that his teacher was about to be exiled in his old age, and he rejoiced that his two sons had entered Cao's mansion.

Although they were all fined and confiscated into the official slaves, in the Cao family, it was different from other people's families.

However, when he heard that Cao Yi placed their brothers in the lower room and asked them to be the companions of Tianxuan, Cao Xiang's expression became entangled.

Seeing this, Cao Yi couldn't cry or laugh, and said: "Since the emperor has made them official slaves, does the fourth brother still want to see them as young masters?" ”,

Cao Xiang hesitated and said: "There are not two children in the family, the eldest brother and sister-in-law have always been kind, that is, the children of the family, aren't they also more than teenagers before they start waiting?" ”,

Cao Yi grimaced and said, "What do you want to do?" I took it over and raised ...... in fine clothes and food."

Cao Xiang also knew that it was inappropriate, "lowered his head and said, "It's always good to take care of it more......"

Cao Yi shook his head, a few years ago, seeing that Cao Xiang had already opened his mind, how could he stay in the Hanlin Academy for a few years, and he stayed a lot.

"You are a disciple of Cha Sisu, if this news is probed by someone with a heart, you can't hide it" If they are sent to you, how will you settle them? If you treat it favorably, you will slap the emperor in the face: if you treat it poorly, you will be spurned by the world. Let's stay here in Xifu......" Cao Yi said.

This is also the most appropriate way, Cao Xiang is much clearer, and he thanked his cousin again.

At dinner that day, Cao Xiang stayed here in Xifu, and the two brothers pushed the cup and changed the lamp, but they were a little less restrained than ordinary and a little more close.

"The teacher is an old man, I'm afraid it will be difficult to go back to Heilongjiang this time." Cao Xiang drank a glass of wine.

"You don't have to worry too much, now the Heilongjiang General Fu happens to have an old relationship with me, I will write a letter to him, asking him to help take care of one or two ......," Cao Yi said.

The reason why it is so hard to be good to others is also partly due to the affection of Uncle Jin Yong.

I am willing to help a bunch, but what I can do is only a bunch, and any more is not in line with Cao Yi's character.

For everyone in the Cao Mansion, the Cha brothers entered the mansion just two more small houses: the only ones who knew their brothers' true identities were Cao Hao and his wife and the big housekeeper Cao Yuan.

Zhuang Yanping heard that Cao Hao was back, came to say goodbye, and early tomorrow morning, he was going to Tongzhou Wharf to board the ship and go south.

Chai Xiucai and his wife found an excuse, moved out of Caofu yesterday, looked at the situation, and stayed in the capital for a few more days.

Although Zhuang Yanping was a little dissatisfied with them, "he couldn't have imagined" that these two people had eaten the gall of ambitious leopards for the sake of money, and they had already begun to accuse the Cao family.

After talking to Zhuang Yanping, Cao Yi went back to the inner house.

After greeting the Li family, Cao Yi returned to Wutong Garden.

"Niuniu's family affairs are over, the old lady is afraid of the heat, and she is worried about returning to Haidian Zhuangzi. The day after tomorrow is the Thousand Autumn Festival, and after the Thousand Autumn Festival, "how ......to move to the garden to escape the summer," Chu Yu said.

Cao Yi waved his hand" and said: "If it is almost cleaned up, it is okay to move over earlier, there is no need to wait for the Qianqiu Festival, the Ministry of Rites issued an official document today, and this year's Qianqiu Festival is already exempt from the ......."

When Chu Yu heard this, he couldn't help but be shocked.

For two consecutive years, the rumors of harmony between the emperor and the queen of the "Qianqiu ...... "Wai Chaohe" were shattered as soon as they were stabbed.

"Why does the emperor not want to see the queen like this, and he doesn't even give him dignity......" Chu Yu was curious and asked in a low voice.

Cao Yi thought for a while, and replied in a low voice: "The emperor has great power, even if he is in the deep palace, he doesn't want the two saints to respect him" This is one of them; Second, I heard that it was for the third elder brother to choose a concubine last year, and the queen's movement was too loud to "make the emperor unhappy, and eighty percent of them have not been discouraged......
