Chapter Seventy-Six: Shocking
Tian An was in his forties, and was the eunuch Huang Jin, who was the companion of Emperor Jiajing, as his father-in-law, and Feng Bao, Zhang Cheng and others were quite related to Huang Jin. This Tian An took the right path of the inner study again, and in the second year of Wanli, he entered the ceremonial supervisor and became an attendant.
The inner court is sinister and treacherous, but at the level of the celebrant and supervisor, everyone is also a high-ranking official who leaves three points for speaking and stops talking.
After Zhang Cheng reprimanded these words, he stopped talking, and looked at the fold to himself, Tian An stood there with a pale face, not knowing whether he sat down or stood up.
Whether it was the eunuch in the hall or the busy little eunuch on the side, they were all busy after a glance, but everyone felt a little pity for this Tian An in their hearts.
I don't know who this Tian An has offended, after this reprimand, this errand will definitely not be saved.
The sun had risen high outside, and the Kyoshi was starting to get busy.
Zou Yi said that the urgency is not an official business, he hurried to South Street after coming out of the Shuntian Mansion Yamen, Zou Yi now knows what kind of mistake he intends to try to stay out of the matter, but it is too late to regret it, the only thing he can do is to remedy it.
People who are a little more awake can feel Zou Yi's alienation from Wang Tong these days, and if it suddenly gets hot again, it will make people feel awkward.
Zou Yi, the new commander of the four major battalions of the Imperial Horse Supervisor, understood this very well, he just politely came to visit, and made an appointment with Wang Tong in the afternoon, and went to the back martial arts hall to see where the children who came to learn martial arts lived, and then politely said goodbye.
When Zou Yi came, Wang Tong and his party had just seen He Jinyin's corpse from there, and they also found the mansion where he was hiding.
"Retribution!!"
Ma Sanbiao and a few surnames said bluntly and excitedly, and even Mrs. Ma, who was taking care of Zhao Jinliang inside, couldn't help but say "deserved".
Li Hutou, who was not normal when he got up in the morning, was in a much better state after his clothes and short spear were burned, Li Wenyuan was silent for a while after seeing He Jinyin's wound, and after returning to the hall, he touched Li Hutou's head approvingly, and didn't say anything.
Wang Tong didn't know how to inspect the wound, but looking at He Jinyin's wound, the scene of Li Hutou stabbing the wooden plaque with a short spear always appeared in his mind.
"Grandpa Zou came to visit, is everyone's confidence enough?"
can clearly feel the relaxation of the atmosphere in the house, Wang Tong couldn't help but joke, Zhang Shiqiang on the side is an old man, he whispered on the side:
"He Jinyin doesn't care about this small gambling house, but it involves so many actions from all sides, although the person is dead, but the next thing is definitely not simple, adults must be cautious."
"So far, there are some things to make clear to everyone, whether it is the Zhao family or this He Gold and Silver Office, the Sanyang Buddha has been found, this matter must be related to the Sanyang Sect, but the official doesn't know what kind of ability this Sanyang Sect has, and it can use such a big relationship......
When these words were asked, everyone in the room looked at each other, and after a while, Sun Dahai scratched his head and said:
"I don't see how strange it is, the people who believe in this on Niulan Street are all nameless, the most lowly bunch of miscellaneous ......"
"Nameless?"
For Wang Tong's question, everyone is not surprised, this little adult has seen some things very thoroughly, but he doesn't understand some common sense, this may be what the prodigy Su Hui should look like.
"In the second year of Wanli, the palace received a group of eunuchs on errands, and many idiots who wanted to be rich and noble cut themselves off, and wanted to enter the palace to seek to be rich and noble, but there were so many people in the palace, and they couldn't enter the palace after castration, and they couldn't even find a job, and the prime minister's family used eunuchs as errands was also a big crime of robbing the family, not to mention those businessmen, these people had the strength to steal and rob, and those who didn't have the strength to beg there for a living. ”
The more I talk about it, the more complicated it is, it's just to track down a small case and want to preside over justice, but I didn't expect it to be more and more involved.
"Let's all go to the front restaurant to stay, Xiaoliang had a sore night last night, and when he fell asleep just now, he was woken up by your gang's loud voice, get out quickly."
The group laughed and walked to the restaurant, where there were already men wiping and tidying up, and the fire in the stove had not been extinguished since it was lit in the morning, but it was warm.
As soon as he walked in, Li Wenyuan grabbed Wang Tong and said in a low voice:
"My lord, since Zhao Jinliang is disabled and is such a young child, let's send it to the palace, the adults are also familiar with the father-in-law in the palace."
Wang Tong nodded, presumably this Li Wenyuan only said this when he heard Fang Cai's introduction from the nameless white, and now that I look at it, this is also Zhao Jinliang's only way out.
While he was talking, there was a commotion outside, but it was Lu Wancai, Wang Si, and Li Gui who walked in, and when they opened the door, they could see a lot of people standing outside dressed as fast arresters.
When the cotton curtain fell, Lu Wancai hurriedly stepped forward and gave a big salute with his fists, while Wang Si and Li Gui directly knelt on the ground and kowtowed a few times before standing up.
Lu Wancai saw Shangguan to understand, and the two catches were even more grand, thinking about Zou Yi's visit with a smile on his face, and then looking at the gifts of these people, Wang Tongdao also reacted, and asked with a smile:
"Lord Lu, the official has been reinstated, Wang Si Li Gui, you have been promoted to the head of the team."
"If it weren't for Lord Wang's face, how could we have such luck for our brothers, in the future, if you say a word, our brothers won't frown in the water and fire."
The reinstatement of this dismissal and dismissal has brought Lu Wancai's relationship with Wang Si, Li Gui and others a lot closer, and they naturally know what the reason for this repetition is.
After a few polite words, Wang Tong opened his mouth and asked:
"Lord Lu, are you bringing so many fast catchers?"
"If Lord Wang can afford to be in charge, don't call this adult, just call Lao Lu brother, these arrest and fast servants are for investigating the case?"
"What else is the case to investigate, isn't He Jinyin dead?"
Wang Tong was surprised, the tragedy of the Zhao family was forced to die by He Jinyin setting up a bureau to make money, since He Jinyin died, then this case is over, maybe there are indeed many unexplained things behind it, but Wang Tong doesn't want to be involved so much, loyalty to duty is one thing, and not crossing his duty is also one thing.
It's so complicated, and if you go any further, it may be a big disaster...... "My lord doesn't know that Zhang Cheng and Zhang Gonggong in the palace sent Gonggong Zou to the Yamen of Shuntian Mansion this morning to hold accountable and urge a thorough investigation of the case. ”
Looking at Wang Tong's expression, Lu Wancai thought that he understood what the other party meant, took a step back and said with a smile:
"Since Gonggong Zhang has expressed this meaning, the whole of Shuntian Mansion will naturally have to investigate it exhaustively, there is nothing to do here, I will lead someone to investigate, if there is a mistake, I hope that the adult will take care of it."
Wang Tong nodded in a deep voice, and Lu Wancai led Wang Si and Li Gui to open the curtain and was about to go out, but Wang Tong shouted at this time and said in a deep voice:
"If you find out anything, feel free to let me know!"
"That's nature, don't worry!!"
With Wang Tong's words, Lu Wancai was full of thought and led people out with high momentum.
Zhang Cheng wants to attack a certain party at this time, Wang Tong wants to give justice to the tragic Zhao family, and Shuntianfu wants to deal with the task, the three parties have different purposes and different means, but under the mistake, the investigation of the case has been pushed farther and deeper.
The officials and catchers of Shuntian Mansion are almost all born in the local head snake of Jingshi, they are proficient, and they have dealings with cows, ghosts, snakes and gods.
Lu Wancai walked out of the delicious restaurant and went directly to the Jixiang Teahouse, he found a good seat in the teahouse to sit, and the officials quickly scattered out, and the news came one by one.
The houses of Nanjie and the surrounding streets, the messengers visited and inquired from house to house, and Wang Si led eight messengers, accompanied by the guards of the brocade clothes, to carefully search the Juyi Fang and the mansion behind.
The professionals are indeed different, the search of the Shuntianfu catcher and the messenger in the Juyi Fang opened the eyes of the Jinyi Guard, each holding a short stick in his hand, constantly beating on the ground and wall of the gambling house and the house behind, the sound is slightly wrong, just take a short knife and dagger to dig a few times.
Not long after, a cellar under the blue brick floor was found in the wing room of the gambling house, and there were five large clay pots inside, which were sealed with oiled paper, and the oiled paper was pierced at the mouth of the cellar, revealing the silver ingots with white flowers inside, each of which was the same, Wang Si did not move, smashed the other four crockpots with a wooden stick, and said with a smile:
"I found a jar of thieves' stolen goods, bring it up carefully, this room is locked and sealed, let's leave a brother and Jinyiwei's brother to watch together."
Everyone is old, why don't they understand Wang Si's plan, a few people struggled to move the crockpot out of the house, and carefully locked the door and pasted a seal, and the brocade guards and officials who stood guard at the door were full of uncontrollable joy.
“…… The dim sum shop once borrowed fifteen taels of silver from Ho Jinyin, but now it has been turned into fifty taels ......."
“…… Zhenxing Lou borrowed fifty taels of gold and silver, and now he has to repay five taels a month, and he has been repaying it for two years......"
“…… The three members of the Liu family borrowed three taels for their children's treatment, and the whole family sold them to the squires outside the city in November last year to pay off the ......."
"The Sun family in Peony Lane, the man lost the bet, the house or something belonged to the gold and silver, and the woman was going to be sold to the kiln, holding the child and throwing it into the well......"
Lu Wancai skimmed it with the lid of the tea bowl and stroked it, and carefully drank the hot tea, his face did not change, but he was just a usury, and there was nothing to make a fuss about.
"My lord, my lord, the gambling house and the back house have dug out cellars, one has a thousand taels of silver, and the back house is ...... Twenty knives and axes, eleven spears, and two strong bows were dug up!! ”
Lu Wancai's hand shook, and the tea bowl fell to the ground.
