It is said that since Yangzhou said goodbye, Wang Ji helped Zhu Boqing and Jiang Dengyun review their homework in Hangzhou, and the two were admitted to the Jinshi as they wished, and the three of them entered Beijing together in the coming year.

Wang Jidian won the top two in the examination, and went to the criminal department to observe politics in the Yamen, and was soon promoted to the Zhejiang Division. And one of Zhu Jiang and the others went to the Hanlin Academy, and the other was released to become the magistrate.

In the Criminal Department, Wang Ji studied hard, watched and figured out the old cases over and over again, followed the experienced officials to handle the cases, and was ashamed to ask questions when he encountered something he didn't understand.

Wang Ji is a very talented person, not a rigid literati, sometimes when he opened the case file, he felt that it was an unjust, false and wrongful case, so he asked the waiter to bring it for review, and in just half a year, he rehabilitated four or five cases, and became famous in six departments.

The Zhejiang Division is the head of the 14 Divisions of the Criminal Department, and the Zhejiang Division has the right to intervene in all cases of each Division. The famous Wang Ji was too sharp, and his boss blamed him for being nosy and ignorant of the rules at first, and deliberately handed over several difficult cases to him for trial, but he didn't want Wang Ji to find out the reason quickly, and even the old officials for many years were not as shrewd as him.

In this way, Shangshu Shilang and others admired Wang Ji very much, and later learned that he had some relationship with Xu Hao, so when they saw him in the future, they were all polite and smiling. There were some favoritism and malpractice among his colleagues, and they knew that they couldn't hide it from him, so they came to beg him to raise their noble hands.

Wang Ji knows how to work around, the water is clear, there are no fish, and the trivial things are not investigated, but he keeps a close eye on the prison department, and often admonishes that the evil in the world is nothing more than the jailer, this generation only cares about filling his own pockets and does not care about the life and death of the prisoners, and has no money to abuse them in all kinds of ways, and cannot let the rats run rampant, and once the bad habits are identified, they will not be punished, which quickly makes the atmosphere of the criminal department clear.

The officials of the Criminal Department knew that he was not even afraid of Shangshu, the one behind him was too terrifying, and like Xu Hao, everyone was afraid of him, and no one dared not restrain himself.

Wang Ji did not regard Xu Hao as a shame, but borrowed Xu Hao's prestige to teach him earnestly. Prison guards are restrained to be lenient with prisoners. I don't know how many yin owls have accumulated over the years, and my colleagues have gradually been infected by his personality, and they have kept their minds when trying the case, and not even a single prisoner in the prison is not grateful to him.

Now that Jin Yiwei has long since lost his own prison, Hu Guan is locked up in the prison of the Criminal Department, and he is also a bachelor and confesses to his crimes.

Princess Nankang was angry that her husband was unfaithful, but she didn't want to be a widow, so she took her son to the palace every day to plead.

Hu Desheng comforted the princess and visited him in the name of a prison visitor. I wanted to secretly instruct the jailer to quietly put people to death, but I didn't expect that the atmosphere in the prison has completely changed now.

As soon as you come in and look up, you can see that there are five no-beatings on the "Xing Ring": don't beat the old, don't beat the young, don't beat the sick, don't beat those who are beaten, and don't beat those who don't have food and clothing.

Five Mo light yì beating: the clan should not be lightly beaten, the officials should not be lightly beaten, the students should not be lightly beaten, and the boss should not be lightly beaten. Women should not be beaten lightly. To the effect that these people are afraid that these people will be wronged, and women will be insulted, it is easy to think of suicide.

There are also five don't fight and five and slow down, which probably means that you can't hit people when you are angry and angry. You can't hit someone when you're drunk, you can't hit someone when you're sick, you can't hit someone who has been severely punished, and so on.

In addition, the three mercy do not fight, the three should not fight and the three forbidden fights, etc. In short, private executions are strictly prohibited in the prison, and there are detailed rules for treating prisoners during the trial, and Hu Desheng was stunned for a long time. I came out and found someone I knew.

The jailer sighed: "Now that the above is strictly watching, the previous means of making money can no longer be used, and the prisoners know the regulations, and they shout when they encounter grievances, in short, this day is not good." ”

Hu Desheng saw that he couldn't buy the jailer and could only return in a huff, if Zhu Di was in power, it might be possible to scare Hu Guan and make him commit suicide for fear of affecting his son. The problem is that it is now Emperor Hongxi, and the Criminal Department has played this game again, Xie Jin once wrote a letter to suggest that he should not affect his wife and daughter when committing crimes, so that Hu Guan knew very well that at most he would suffer death, not to mention that he would not die for a crime.

said that Xu Hao took his sister-in-law to mess around, and the two rented a small courtyard near Shuntian Mansion, and displayed the carriages and horses and claimed to be tourists who came to Beijing, anyway, believe it or not.

Mu Qingshuang got a color head from the emperor, and she really thought she was a rare talented woman in the world, put the jade ruler on the bookshelf, hung ancient paintings of celebrities on the four walls, and sat upstairs every day to brush up the ink.

She was showing off upstairs, and Xu Hao boasted to the neighbors at the door how talented my sister was, and how she was a fairy, but the people were stunned, and told Li Dong to publish the past masterpieces of her sisters in the Beijing Daily, and gave Qingshuang a pen name called Qingdai, and ordered people to build momentum in the city.

After a long time, many good literati appreciated the poems, and learned that a stunning talented woman had come to the capital, so they came to ask for poems and words with heavy gifts.

What is Xu Hao afraid of provoking right and wrong? The visitors did not refuse to open the door and accept gifts on a large scale, and there was an endless stream of writers for several days. Hu Desheng continued to investigate the assassination case, looking for witnesses everywhere, and saw that he was about to be promoted to the court the day after tomorrow.

When Hu Desheng passed by on the street, he looked at the excitement here, and asked casually, "What's the matter?" ”

Bai Qing said with a smile: "It is said that there is a stunning talented woman living upstairs, and the literati who are doing good things come to ask for words, probably because the drunkard does not mean to drink." ”

"Stunning talent?"

Hu Desheng was immediately moved, he has not married a wife since he was thirty years old, he vowed to marry a brilliant talent and beauty when he was young, and he has not been satisfied with the blind date over the years, there may be many beauties in this world, but everyone's aesthetics are different after all.

Interested in taking a look, Hu Desheng asked people to prepare a generous gift, bought a gold lacquer folding fan, and followed the flow of people to ask for a poetry fan, wanting to see the young lady's literary brilliance first.

The old family of the Xu family was responsible for receiving them, accepted the gift, asked for the name, wrote it down, and agreed to pick it up tomorrow.

Mu Qingshuang upstairs was speechless: "Brother-in-law, your strategy really works, that person is too stupid, right?" ”

Xu Hao said with a smile: "This is called herd mentality, of course, it has to be designed for this guy's weaknesses, he is bold enough to dare to arrest people and convict them casually, and there is someone who doesn't move forward when he encounters excitement?" Besides, who made us Qingshuang a big beauty. ”

Mu Qingshuang raised her head proudly, Xu Hao looked at her delicate appearance, and some missed the red leaves that were almost the same as her, and her arrogant and lovely sister in the past is now a mother.

On the second day, the literati came to pick up the poems, but who knew that everyone had them, but there was no Hu Desheng.

Hu Desheng hurriedly said: "Why are you the only one who wants to be mine?" ”

The old man hurriedly said, "Childe, wait a minute, I'll go up here and ask." ”

After a while, the old family replied apologetically: "Hu Ye's fan didn't know where to put it because he was busy, and I didn't find it for a while." Please go back first. Find out tomorrow and pick it up. ”

Hu Desheng was furious when he heard this, and shouted, "How dare your family bully me? They all have them and I don't, what is that? Am I not worthy of your young lady Mobao by virtue of my identity? ”

"Master Hu, don't be angry, I'll go in and ask again."

At that moment, the old family turned around and entered the courtyard again, Hu Desheng followed in, and when he arrived downstairs, he saw a notice posted next to the door of the building: This building is a study for talented women, and idlers are not allowed to peep here.

Hu Desheng smiled secretly in his heart, and when the old family went upstairs, he quietly stretched out his head to look upstairs, and heard the old man ask upstairs: "Have you found the fan of Hu Gongzi of Shuntian Mansion?" ”

Suddenly, a beautiful girl Yingying came over. said: "I found it, I put it in the corner and didn't pay attention to it, so I wrote it and sent it down." ”

Hu Desheng was suddenly shocked at first sight, saliva flowed out, and said in his heart that he was really a peerless stunner who was charming and charming, and he was full of joy for fear of being discovered by the beauty, so he blamed himself for being abrupt, and quickly retreated.

Mu Qingshuang pointed to the paper wrapped in the golden fan, and couldn't help but smile: "Hu Desheng, nephew of the Marquis of Dongchuan in Jinling." The eldest grandson of the ancestral cabinet, the new prefect was elected, the political affairs articles are quite important, and the detective and case handling experts are experts. Martial arts riding and archery are outstanding, ask for a lot of praise! Oh my God, I'm really going to push myself and I'm not ashamed. ”

Xu Hao also laughed, and said in his heart that there were similar guys on forums in ancient times. "What is the new examination for the prefect, but it is just an inspection school that does not enter the Shuntian Mansion."

Mu Qingshuang looked down from the window and saw Hu Desheng wearing a square scarf. Dressed in a gorgeous broad suit, he squinted downstairs and walked around.

It turned out that Hu Desheng was jealous of others when he was young, and injured one eye and one leg, which is the second reason why he has never been married, so he vowed to marry a stunning one because of his self-esteem.

Soon the old family handed the fan and a piece of silk cloth that was counted as a return gift to Hu Desheng, Hu Desheng opened it in public and saw that the handwriting on it was flying and interesting, and he couldn't help but be very happy in the face of the envy of the literati.

happily returned to Shuntianfu, unfolded it and admired it carefully, but he couldn't understand the cursive script at all, so he called two clerks and read it to him word by word.

The secretary held a fan and shook his head and read: "The three stations are holding the sun lonely, and the five horses are worried about the uneven road." Mo Ning Huangtang is newly gifted, and the Xijiang East Pavilion is well-known. ”

Another clerk pointed to the two rows of bowl-sized books on the ayazi and read: "The broken turtle stands at the pole, and the peace of heaven and earth is created; Pierce the clouds and see the sky, open the deafness of the past and the present. ”

Hu Desheng said with joy: "The 'Santai East Pavilion' written on the fan is to praise my prime minister's background, and the 'Wuma Huangtang' is probably to praise me as the new prefect, but unfortunately I hid it from others and sinned guilty." The words 'broken turtle pulling out the clouds' written on the ayako mean to praise my talents and deeds, right? Alas! Really a talented woman. ”

The two clerks were very happy to see that the brother-in-law of Fu Yin was very happy, and praised him, Hu Desheng became more and more happy, so he asked someone to hang the ayazi in the hall, put the fan on his body and praise it to everyone.

In the evening, there was a feast of relatives and friends, and dozens of people had good hymns, good praises, and good praise words, only Yu Qian, who was sitting in the first place, smiled and said nothing.

Hu Desheng asked, "Brother-in-law, what are you laughing at?" ”

Yu Qian glanced at him and sighed lightly, without speaking. Hu Desheng was puzzled and said, "Is there any flaw in the poem?" ”

"There are no flaws." Yu Qian said honestly, "It's just that you shouldn't be so precious." ”

Hu Desheng said confusedly: "Miss people praise me so much, can you teach me to cherish it?" ”

Yu Qian couldn't help but laugh and said, "How can you see that people are praising you?" ”

"I don't need to ask!" Hu Desheng proudly pointed at Ayazi, "She said 'Santai East Pavilion', didn't she call me from the Prime Minister's Mansion!" He said, 'Five Horse Yellow Hall', didn't he praise me for the newly elected prefect! 'Creating heaven and earth and opening up the past and the present' doesn't praise the prosperity of my deeds! Even if I deliberately exaggerate, people don't know about it after all, so what's wrong? (To be continued......)
