Chapter 705: Killing Mother (II)

"Let him in." Wang Ju said unhappily.

Wang Anli walked in.

Wang Anshi, the two baby brothers, Wang Anguo will forget it. The contradiction between Wang Anli and Wang Ju is not small, and Wang Anli also knows it, so he doesn't have any cold noise, so he goes straight to the point.

"Zi'an, I heard about Yizheng."

"Wang Fu Yin, it has nothing to do with you, right?"

"Of course it has nothing to do with me."

It can't be related, even if it's related, it can't be said to be related, otherwise Wang Anli will go to the sea.

"Then why did you mention it?"

"Zi'an, you have to be forgiving and forgiving."

"Wang Fu Yin, it's weird, I've been in the south for the past few years, who have I offended, and who has spared me?"

"Zi'an, don't be excited, I heard in Chengdu that the official family is about to hold a ceremony for Ji Qiu Mingtang."

Wang Anli said that the Ji Qiu Ming Hall ceremony is actually the Song Dynasty's sacrifice to the heavens, which is divided into three kinds of gifts, one is the New Year Moon Circle Hill Prayer Valley Ceremony, which is rarely held in the Song Dynasty and can be ignored, the second is the Winter Solstice Circle Hill Southern Suburbs Ceremony, which is the most sacrificial heaven ceremony, and the third is the Ji Qiu Ji Xin Ri Ming Hall Ceremony.

In the previous generations of monarchs, Song Renzong held the most times of the sacrifice to the heavens, in addition to these three gifts, he also took the ministers to hold what by the field ceremony, the robe enjoyment ceremony, the ceremony of thanking heaven and earth, can not be said to be useless, the grand sacrifice to the sky in ancient times can more or less to the people to discuss the legitimacy of the imperial power, increase the authority of the emperor, and each time the reward of the gift, it is also an opportunity to win people's hearts. However, each gift has to cost more than 10 million yuan, so Wang Ju deliberately said in his early years that he would reduce the number of sacrifices to the sky.

However, this year, the country's performance is not only not tense. On the contrary, the treasury is full. Plus the good news from the South. Therefore, it is normal for the imperial court to hold a ceremony to worship the heavens.

Maybe Zhao Ji will tell Zhao Kuangyin and Zhao Kuangyi about his merits in the Ming Hall, at least in my hands, the territory has expanded a lot......

Wang Anli meant that on this festive day, the news of the Yizheng County incident to the court would destroy this festive atmosphere.

"Also, Yao Yan is Uncle Lu Han's protégé."

The two had contradictions, and they didn't speculate for more than half a sentence, and after Wang Anli finished speaking, he left.

Qiongniang also heard it in the house. She said worriedly: "I didn't expect that Nazhi County turned out to be Lu Xianggong's protégé......"

"Bozhou Lu family?" Zhang Nantuo also asked in surprise.

"Shituo, you also know the Lu family."

"I've heard in Dali that the Lu family in Bozhou is the first official eunuch family in the Great Song Dynasty." Zhang Nantuo is also a little worried, don't look at Wang Ju is about to become the deputy minister of the Eastern Mansion, if the Lu family hates Wang Ju and takes the lead in dealing with Wang Ju, plus Wang Ju's previous political enemies, Wang Ju will be in trouble.

"It has nothing to do with Uncle Lu Hui," Wang Ju laughed.

"Why?"

"Because there was a case of mother-killing."

"Mother murder?"

"This case has been happening for a long time. It was a case in Taihu County the year before last. Chen Shiru, the magistrate of Taihu County, reported that his mother-in-law (stepmother) died suddenly due to heartache, and the imperial court issued an edict to allow him to worry. So Chen Jiafa returned to Beijing after mourning. As soon as the Chen family arrived in the capital, a slave escaped from the Chen Mansion and went to the Kaifeng Mansion to prosecute Chen's mother not from a sudden illness, but from poisoning. Kaifeng Prefecture Yin Su Zirong (Su Song, another scientist in the Northern Song Dynasty, who invented the world's first astronomical clock) sent his subordinates to Chen's house to push the case, just in time for Chen's mother to be buried in the future, and immediately opened the coffin for an autopsy. ”

"There's weirdness."

"Tell me about it."

"Although she is a concubine, but when she is buried, Chen Zhixian has to take a look, can't she see such a big nail?"

"Yes, but if it's that simple, it's not worth telling me about. After hearing the report of his subordinates, Su Zirong immediately interrogated, and the slaves and maids of the Chen Mansion confessed that they were poisoned by the maids, but they were not poisoned, so they took nails and nailed them to their sternum at night, resulting in the death of Chen's mother. ”

"Ah," Qiong Niang covered her mouth in fright, and said, "The guts of these slaves? ”

"The slave maid definitely doesn't have the courage to do this, Su Fu Yin continued to interrogate, only to learn that it was Chen's wife Li Shi and her mother-in-law who had been at odds, so he said to the maids, the doctor will be mourned one day, and you should be paid a generous salary." When Wang Ju said this, he was afraid that Zhang Nantuo would not understand, so he explained: "This doctor refers to Chen Shiru's official position. Therefore, the maids had the audacity to kill Chen's mother. However, this case dragged on in Kaifeng Mansion for more than half a year, but it has not been closed. ”

"Huh?"

"The direct reason is not Chen's wife, she can't escape, but is Chen Zhixian involved?"

"Even if you don't participate, Chen Zhixian knows, right?"

"The little lady is right, such a big iron nail, can't Chen Zhixian see it when he enters the coffin?"

"The reason for the delay is mainly that some officials think that Chen's wife, Li, did not explicitly say that she killed her mother-in-law, so the law will not lead to death. Although Su Fu Yin did not say that Li's law would not die, he insisted that Chen Zhixian did not know. ”

"This is clearly a cover-up."

The official family also thought that Su Fu Yin was shielding, and it was his mother and mother-in-law who were killed, so they summoned Su Fu Yin to the palace and said angrily that this person is very evil and should be poor. Su Fu Yin said, there is a division, and the minister does not dare to speak leniently, nor does he dare to make it heavy. ”

"Weird."

"Actually, it's not strange at all, it's mainly because of the background of these two people, Chen Shiru is the only son of Chen Zhizhong, the prime minister of the previous dynasty, so the Li family is even more difficult, her father is the third envoy Li Zhongshi, and her mother Lu is the daughter of Uncle Lu Han."

"What did it end up with?"

In the end, it dragged on for a long time, and Su Zirong couldn't drag it out, and the truth was gradually revealed. After the fact, the Li family immediately found Mrs. Lu, and Mrs. Lu immediately found her father, Uncle Lu Hui, and asked him to go and dredge with Su Fu Yin. It is rumored that Lu Hui was upright and refused her request. However, Uncle Lü Han did not come forward, and his nephews Lu Xiya (the son of Lü Gongxuan), the commentator of Dali Temple, and Yan Jing, the doctor of Zanshan (Fu Bi's brother-in-law, Yan Shu's seventh son), inquired about the case. ”

"In this way, can Lu Xianggong still say that he is not involved?"

"Qiongniang, why are you serious?"

"And then?"

"Until last year. The case dragged on for too long. This made the official family very dissatisfied. So the Su Mansion Yin was demoted to Haozhou, and the imperial history impeached the Kaifeng Mansion was endless, and the official family transferred the case to Dali Temple for interrogation. It happened that Dali Chengjia was a member of the New Party, and it was decided that Chen Zhixian was an informed murderer of his mother, and Chen Zhixian's mother-in-law, Lu Shi, asked for help from it, which caused the case to drag on for a long time, and also arrested Chen Zhixian, Lu Xiya and Yan Jing together, and then accused Uncle Lu Hui of personally asking Su Fu Yin for help. ”

"Possibly."

In the Song Dynasty, filial piety was the first of all kinds. Although it was Chen Shiru's stepmother who was killed, it was indeed the mother, not Chen Zhizhong's concubine, in ancient times, this case was undoubtedly a shocking case. Not to mention Su Song's protection, at least Su Song, the old minister of the Three Dynasties, hesitated, can he hesitate, with a woman and Lu Xiya and Yan Jing, whose official positions are not very high, is it possible?

That's why Qiong Niang said that it was possible, and Wang Ju continued: "It's possible, and the official family thinks so too." Therefore, he sent an edict to Haozhou to question, but Su Song said firmly. Falsely accusing someone of death, not doing it alone. The official family had no choice but to belittle the Su Mansion Yin Zhi Cangzhou again, and transferred the case to the Yushitai for interrogation. ”

"There are a lot of new parties in the Imperial Observatory," Qiongniang said with a smile.

"Cai Qu, Li Ding, Shu Yan and others are indeed the new party, so after last autumn, they decided that Chen Zhixian was unwilling to stay in Taihu County as a magistrate, so they acquiesced to Li's instigation of the maidservant to kill her mother, so as to take advantage of the opportunity of Ding Wei to return to the capital."

"That's a bit of a skip."

"Well, this statement is very reluctant, and Taihu County is a very good place. My judgment is that this Li is a vicious woman, because of the discord between her mother-in-law and daughter-in-law, she instigated the maid to kill her mother-in-law, and then Chen Zhixian must have known, but he was afraid of his wife, or did not want the situation to expand, so he covered up the murder. However, in the hands of the New Party, they must want to use this incident to attack Uncle Lu Hui and even the Lu family. When the official family saw that it was not good, they said that Chen Zhi had stopped having a son, how about keeping it for sacrifice? In the imperial history, Cheng Cai did ask the official family a rhetorical sentence, Chen Shiru is guilty of great rebellion, but Hao Xie? The official family was speechless, so they had to use another means to reduce the situation, and issued an edict saying that in order to investigate the case exhaustively, Jia Chongmin ignored the system, etiquette, and law, and ran to Uncle Lu Han's house to call his son to the courtyard, and used verbal intimidation to extract a confession. Therefore, the edict Jia Chongmin, Dali Qing Cui Taifu, Dali Shaoqing Yang Ji and the superintendent of the imperial history He Zhengchen and others each fined ten catties of copper to show warning. Cai Zhongcheng quickly closed the case, the Chen family and the nineteen maidservants involved in the case were executed, and Lu Xiya and Yan Jing were demoted for interfering in the case. ”

"What about Lu Xianggong?"

"It's still Lu Xianggong. Because of this case, I said that it has nothing to do with Uncle Lu Hui, although he is an old party, he is relatively mild and not so vicious, at least he will not do everything like Gong Wen, Sima Guang, and Yang Hua. Secondly, the time is not right, the reason why there is this vicious rap book is mainly because the official family asked me to serve as the governor, but this case was closed last year, and it still has some impact, at this time Lu Gong will only be cautious. ”

"In that case, official, why did this Wang Anli deliberately point out that Yao Zhixian was Uncle Lu Han's protégé?"

"The current imperial history is not Cai Qu, but Li Ding, who is also a new party, with more intense means and a stronger sense of revenge, it just so happens that the impact of this case has not subsided, as long as the case arrives in the capital, Li Ding will inevitably investigate the case again, so as to completely bring down Uncle Lu Hui, in that way, I will be deeply implicated. Therefore, Wang Anli warned me to turn the big things into small things, and let the Qiongzhou government handle the case. ”

"Should officials be slandered?"

"Qiongniang, you are wrong again, in his heart, what is written in the record book is not slander, but the truth, I am a ruthless butcher who has brought disaster to the country and the people."

"Official, did this person instigate it?"

"No, although the album has infinitely scandalized me, but aside from these attacks and slanders, it is almost close to the truth, and with him, it is not yet accessible. However, Yizheng County is so close to Chengdu, although it was not at his instigation, ninety percent of him knew that this record book existed, at least he knew that someone was deliberately smearing me. ”

"So what do we do?"

"Don't worry, Baa Sheng, you take a few people, dress up as civilians, and listen to them in various shops in Chengdu."

"Whoa."

A few days later, Yelong Basheng came back and reported: "Shaobao, there is no record book about Shaobao in the various tile shops, but I heard a piece of news. ”

"What?"

"It is said that when we entered Chengdu City, the Chengdu government secretly notified the rap club and asked them not to rap any record books about Shaobao, and said that Yizheng County was dissatisfied with Shaobao because of rapping, so he killed more than a dozen people ruthlessly."

"This Wang Anli is really not a thing." Qiong Niang said angrily.

She was angry not only because Wang Anli intimidated Wang Ju in disguise, but also because of this smearing notice, and Wang Ju stayed in this inn and asked the doctor to treat her. Wang Ju is about to be the vice minister of Dongfu, is this normal?

"Lady, don't be angry, the heavens are evil, you can still live, and people are evil, you can't live." Wang Ju said.

If you want to find the person behind the real writing of this record book, it is probably unlikely. But Wang Anli dared to do this, Wang Ju didn't mind, and let Wang Anli accompany him to the funeral! (To be continued......)
