Cao Song was waiting to see Sun Jue's jokes, but when he heard that it involved Brother Jiu, his face changed.

"Big brother, even if you want to teach him a lesson, you shouldn't involve Brother Jiu. Brother Jiu has never been kind to his eldest brother over the years, if he uses this to make trouble for his eldest brother, how can he be good? Thinking of this, he hesitated.

"If it weren't for the Ninth Elder Brother, who would offend the Cao family for a few hundred taels of silver in the capital?" Cao Hao said leisurely: "Besides, it's a good thing to borrow the hand of Brother Jiu to teach Sun Jue a lesson." ”

Cao Song was confused when he heard it, but Cao Hao said this about the Li family's defection to the eighth and ninth elder brothers.

In the eyes of outsiders, the Cao, Li, and Sun families are in close contact, but the Cao family has been in Beijing for more than ten years, and has never been involved in the affairs of the prince, and has always been friendly with the new emperor and the thirteenth elder brother.

The remaining Li and Sun families, the Li family is the grass on the wall, and Sun Wencheng is a timid person. has been in charge of Hangzhou weaving for nearly 20 years, even if he did not take the initiative to make friends with the prince and brother, but he did not have the power to resist the blackmail of the prince and brother. It is passive, but when you look closely, this sin can be big or small.

The Li family's Cao Hao can completely restrain his hands, and if the Sun family is really guilty, it will affect Cao Ying's mother and son.

This Sun Li and Sun Xian are both nephews of the Cao family, and Cao Hao, who is an uncle, can't be ignored.

Under Cao Ying's discipline, these two are good children who are filial and courteous. Cao Hao didn't want them to be burdened by the family and ruined the future of his life.

The reason why he chose to go to the shop under the name of Brother Jiu to perform this big drama is because Cao Hao has calculated the surname that will be reported by Brother Jiu, no matter whether the Sun family has ever honored him or not, he will not put Sun Wencheng in his eyes, he will seize this opportunity, fight cattle across the mountain, and will not let go.

"How can it be a good thing?" Cao Song thought for a while, but was still puzzled.

"In the area south of the Yangtze River, in the early years, it was a place where the second elder brother and the eighth elder brother collected wealth successively, so that the ninth elder brother taught Sun Jue a lesson, and also made the Sun family get rid of the suspicion of colluding with the prince's elder brother." Cao Hao said carefully to Cao Song.

When Cao Song heard this, he was a little unwilling, and said, "In this way, isn't it too cheap Sun Jue?" However, it is very good to suffer from some flesh and skin. ”

Cao Hao didn't speak, if he wasn't mistaken, after fifteen, Yongzheng might have to attack the Li family and the Sun family.

At the beginning of his ascension to the throne, his foothold was unstable, and he wanted to reward the heroes of Conglong, collect some money as soon as possible, and did not want the government and the opposition to be too shocked, the best way was to reward people with these fat shortages in the name of the Internal Affairs Office.

"If Brother Jiu wants to humiliate me with this, he will definitely make a fuss about this matter. Sun Li's side, he has to prepare for the township test, and it is not good to be distracted. You are his own uncle, and you arranged for him to go to Haidian Garden to study, so that he could avoid this dispute. Cao Hao remembered something and instructed Cao Songdao.

Cao Song responded, and when he sent Cao Ying back to Sun's house, he mentioned the matter.

This township exam is a big event, the scholar studies behind closed doors before the exam, and it is common to not see outsiders, Cao Ying did not think much about it, but thanked her brother for being careful.

However, Sun Li is all she hopes for in the rest of her life, and she is not at ease when she lets Sun Li go to the garden to study alone.

After thinking about it again, she decided to take her daughter to Haidian Garden together. It's just that over there, not her territory, so she had to go back to her parents' house again and talk to Chu Yu about it.

Before this, Cao Hao had already greeted his wife, and Chu Yu naturally had no opinion. I heard that Cao Ying's mother and daughter were also going together, so they had to let someone clean up a small courtyard near the garden study.

Only Zhao Jia's family, when he heard that Sun Li was going to study, was in favor of it; But Cao Ying was a little unhappy that she wanted to take Sun Xian with her: "My sister is fourteen, if she participates in the general election according to the wishes of her in-laws, she will have to learn many rules, isn't it a delay to go to the garden?" ”

When Cao Ying heard this, she couldn't help frowning, and said, "Mother, even if my father-in-law asks for grace, with a family like us, where is we qualified to be selected at the same time as the Eight Banners?" When the time comes, it is better to point to which house to do Gege, it is better to put up the sign early and find a person with the right door. ”

Zhao Jia's family doesn't love her granddaughter, but she doesn't want her to be low. It's not that I want to climb the dragon and attach the phoenix, but I was troubled by Sun Jue, and I was a little scared.

"No matter how bad the big family is, there are still rules, and there is always a place to reason; There are no rules for small households, and there may be some moths. You have suffered like this, do you want your sister to suffer again? Zhao Jia snorted coldly and said.

Cao Ying was speechless, and sat there silently, worried about her daughter's relatives.

After all, her daughter's surname is Sun, and she is a member of the Sun family, and her family affairs are not up to her own family.

Knowing her daughter Mo Ruomu, seeing that her daughter was silent, Zhao Jia's family still didn't understand her concerns, stretched out her hand, poked Cao Ying's forehead, and said: "Wooden head, it's true that my sister is a girl from the Sun family, and she is also the niece of the Cao family." With this, it can also be said that the family affairs are decent, and they will never let the Sun family spoil them at will. ”

Cao Ying listened, thinking that not only her cousin stood up for herself, but her own brother also knew how to be considerate of herself, and she felt warm in her heart.

Under Cao Song's persuasion, after the tenth day of the first lunar month, Cao Ying took a pair of children to Haidian Garden, and entrusted the housework of the Sun House to the Liang family.

Cao Yingshu's descendants were reluctant to give up their brother at first, and they wanted to go with their brothers and sisters, but they were stopped by their biological mother.

Liang knew Cao Ying's suffering, and he had also seen Sun Li's hardship, and knew the importance of the imperial examination to the mother and son. Last year's "boy test", because of her son, Sun Li gave up the test. Even after that, Cao Ying's mother and son didn't say anything, Liang's heart was not good.

Now, Sun Li is closed for the exam, how could the Liang family allow his son to disturb.

The reason why Cao Song couldn't wait to send Cao Ying's mother and son out of the city was because Cao Hao knew that Brother Jiu would not delay for too long.

This year is the first year of the new emperor's accession to the throne, the new year and the new atmosphere, on the eighth day of the first month, the major yamen in the capital will open the office.

Cao Hao's excerpts on the farming plans of Zhili, Shandong, Anhui, Henan and other provinces were also handed to the emperor as early as a year ago, just waiting for Yongzheng to summon him.

didn't wait for him to be summoned by Yongzheng, just waited for the messenger from Shuntianfu to come to the door.

This is also to be expected.

As early as after Cao Ying left the city, Cao Song had explained to the housekeepers of the Liang family and Sun Mansion that if outsiders came to the door, they would be pushed directly to Cao's mansion.

Cao Hao calculated in his heart that Sun Jue was sent to the yamen on the sixth day of the first month, and it has been three days since then, and the hardships that should have been borne have also been suffered, and the people of the Sun family should have almost arrived.

He didn't show up himself, only let Cao Yuan take his post and go to the Yamen of Shuntianfu to "bail" Sun Jue. As for how much money he spent, he didn't care about it, after all, the Sun family would pay for it in the end.

At this time, Yin Zheng and Chen Shouchuangzheng, who had not been in office for a long time, were furious.

originally thought that Sun Jue was just a scoundrel who was deceived and abducted, so he didn't take it to heart. Unexpectedly, when the Kaiya was interrogated, the identity of the former official Langzhong was also revealed, and behind it were the Cao family, the Sun family, and the Pingjun Palace.

Unexpectedly, before he, the chief official, passed the court, Sun Jue suffered hardships, and there was no good meat under his clothes. If Sun Jue hadn't been in pain and shouted in the hall, he, the mansion Yin, would have been kept in his bones.

It's not that those people haven't threatened Sun Jue, it's just that Sun Jue is really afraid. He had also been an official, and he had heard of the crooks in this yamen.

With his identity, he should not have been sent to the Shuntianfu Yamen, let alone lynched. Now that he has suffered all the sins he deserves, he also knows that he has sinned against those he should not have sinned. I thought about it, but I didn't know where the enemy was.

Until now, recalling Hua's gentle and petty, he still doesn't want to believe that he met a female bachelor. If you really meet a liar, then the other party will kidnap something and run away, how can you still suffer?

Thinking of what Hua said that Hua's stepson was a vicious character, Sun Jue thought that he had found an enemy.

Therefore, when he arrived in the lobby, he came out regardless of it.

Chen Shouchuang asked people to take a look at Sun Jue's clothes, and they were scarred, and they could see at a glance that they were new injuries.

He wanted to investigate, but the master and soap in this yamen were all old oilers, and he dealt with all the means of this.

After checking for a long time, there was no clue at all, and it seemed that the wife in this yamen was peaceful, and he, the new chief official, had nothing to do......

This is intricate, not only is the master and soap Li taking bribes to vent their personal anger, but it has affected his rights as the chief official, and he can no longer tolerate Chen Shouchuang Although he is only the Yin of Sanpin Mansion, he has the right to directly hand over the sign to meet him because he is a parent official at the feet of the Son of Heaven.

This place of public government is a place where the law of the country is correct, and if it does not stop here, then where will the people go to seek justice?

If it were someone else, Xu would think about sending Sun Jue to the Yamen of the infantry army immediately, and get rid of himself. This Chen Shouchuang is from the iron-faced imperial history, how can he seek perfection?

He not only played the misdeeds in the Yamen of Shuntianfu in front of the monarch, but also wrote an excerpt to impeach Hangzhou weaving Sun Wenqi for "not teaching his son strictly".

This impeachment of the Sun family, he is not the first letter, nor the last. Yongzheng just glanced at it and fell aside; Regarding the misdeeds in the Yamen of Shuntian Mansion, it made him blacken.

He has long been eyeing Sun Jue, Sun Jue was deceived, and he was already clear about being sent to Shuntian Mansion. Behind this, there is Brother Jiu who is fueling the troubles, and he doesn't take it seriously.

However, he didn't expect that Brother Jiu's hand was so long that he could run rampant in the Yamen of Shuntian Mansion at will.

Actually, he thought too much.

The reason why Shuntianfu cleaned up Sun Jue was just in response to a saying, "Money can make ghosts grind".

As for the clerical soaps covering each other, they don't show their mouths in front of the chief officer, which is also the way for the little people to survive.

Yongzheng was in a high position, but what he was thinking about was whether his dragon chair was unstable.

What he thought was that there were government servants in the Yamen of Shuntian Mansion, and there were quite a few of them. Brother Jiu stretched out his hand to the Yamen of Shuntian Mansion, what did he want? Is it his own will, or is it planning for someone else?

"Check, investigate!" Yongzheng thought of this and said in a deep voice.

Chen Shouchuang responded loudly, and he also had this idea in his heart. can enter Yongzheng's eyes, it can be seen that he is quite good, now that the new official has taken office, he is deceived by the cooperation of the small officials below, how can he stand it?

At this time, whether he will offend Brother Jiu, the Cao family, and the Pingjun Mansion is no longer relevant to him.

For him, it is necessary to thoroughly investigate the Shuo rats of Shuntianfu, and not let them continue to be evil.

Therefore, when Cao Yuan arrived at the Yamen of Shuntian Mansion, he was not able to "bail" Sun Jue out.

Next, in the yamen of Shuntian Mansion, there was a "strict investigation".

Since Sun Jue was imprisoned, none of the scribes and officials who handled it had run away, and they were pulled to the lobby in turn, and the boards were played "crackling".

If this ruthless move continues, some people can't stand it and begin to bite out. In order to get rid of the crime, everyone is not suspicious of many people, and they pull out all the private things they know.

Even if it has nothing to do with Sun Jue's case, there are few clean ones.

There were more than a dozen cases involved, accounting for half of the number of prisoners held in the Yamen of Shuntian Prefecture. The amount involved was tens of thousands of taels of silver, and there were more than a dozen eunuchs involved behind it.

All of a sudden, the government and the opposition were shaken ......*
