Chapter 218 Jia Yun is actually the son of Emperor Tianzhi
On this day, from early morning to dusk, Jia Yun went to the residences of seven general salt merchants: Dong Shengyang, Yao Sili, Peng Changgen, Zhou Delin, Kang Xiaoan, Wang Bingdong, and Li Danbai.
They successively obtained the criminal silver from the seven people's mansion, and also searched out all the account books and letters in the main room of the seven people's study.
During the process, Zou Jin and Shen Yuanwen were both shocked.
Shen Yuanwen was also panicked. He judged from Jia Yun's search of account books and letters that Jia Yun came to Yangzhou this time not only to urge donations, but also to deal with the official backstage of Yangzhou's chief salt merchant!
Zou Jinze was pleasantly surprised.
Zou Jin and Shen Yuanwen couldn't wait to find Jia Yun. Jia Yun was busy searching for the crime banknotes and the account books and letters, but she had no time to quarrel with these two people.
Jia Yun asked Zou Jin to go to the Qianhu Office to find him tonight, and asked Shen Yuanwen to go to the Qianhu Office to find him the next morning, and at the same time consciously brought the 170,000 taels of criminal silver that needed to be paid.
In the evening, when Jia Yun returned with a full load and returned to the Qianhu Office of Jinyi Mansion, Zou Jin was already waiting at the Qianhu Office.
The seven chief salt merchants were brought back and imprisoned again in Qianhusuo Prison.
Jia Yun invites Zou Jin to have dinner together.
There was no drinking this time. After dinner, Jia Yun was still busy personally checking the account books and documents collected today.
During dinner, Zou Jin asked Jia Yun: "Master Jia, can you tell me now, what kind of imperial life do you have this time?"
Jia Yun said: "I don't need to say anything about this now. Lord Zou must have already guessed the answer."
Zou Jin paused and asked: "Investigate the corrupt officials involved in the Lianghuai Salt Industry?"
Jia Yun said: "I guessed more than half of it right."
"The Emperor knows that it is difficult to track down all the corrupt officials involved in the Lianghuai Salt Industry. If they are all dealt with, the Lianghuai Salt Industry will inevitably be in chaos, and the world will follow."
"The emperor's order to me this time is to ask for an account book of corrupt officials involved in the Lianghuai Salt Industry. The account books do not need to be complete, but the more the better."
Zou Jin couldn't wait to ask: "Since the emperor knows that so many corrupt officials cannot be punished, why does he need such an account book?"
Without waiting for Jia Yun to answer, Zou Jin's eyes widened: "Could it be that the emperor also wants to punish these corrupt officials?"
Jia Yun said: "Master Zou is indeed a smart man, that's right."
Jia Yun immediately sighed: "The emperor's move is really clever. It can not only gain a huge fortune, but also have the effect of rectifying the officialdom of the Lianghuai Salt Industry, and it will not cause chaos in the Lianghuai Salt Industry."
Zou Jin looked excited.
Emperor Tianzhi appointed him to take over as the censor of salt inspection in Lianghuai. In addition to urging him to collect donations, he also asked him to rectify the salt industry in Lianghuai.
But now, Jia Yun's action has made Zou Jin much more relaxed. The donation collection has been completed, and the Lianghuai Salt Industry has also been rectified.
After a pause, Zou Jin asked: "Is it also the emperor's plan to launch a demand for illegal silver from the eight general salt merchants in Yangzhou?"
Jia Yun said: "I planned this matter with the emperor's approval."
Zou Jin asked again: "Today you raided the residences of seven salt merchants to search for account books and letters. Was this also your plan?"
Jia Yun nodded.
Zou Jin couldn't help but praise: "Master Jia is so resourceful and courageous at such a young age. He is really a genius!"
This compliment was not false, it came from the bottom of his heart. Zou Jin really appreciated Jia Yun now.
Jia Yun smiled modestly: "Master Zou, thank you."
After another pause, Zou Jin said: "Master Jia, I think you are a genius. In addition, you have helped me a lot this time, and you are also willing to put in a good word in front of the emperor for me because of the investigation of Master Lin's concubine. So.
, there are a few things I shouldn’t have said, but I want to tell you now.”
Jia Yun said: "Please tell me."
Zou Jin looked directly into Jia Yun's eyes: "I wonder if you know that you are already in danger?"
Jia Yun knew this and asked, "Why did Mr. Zou say this?"
Zou Jindao: "What you did in Yangzhou this time has undoubtedly provoked the official circles involved in the Lianghuai Salt Industry. As far as I know, you have already provoked the founding heroes headed by the four kings before. You are not afraid of giving yourself
Inviting revenge?”
Jia Yun felt more fond of Zou Jin. Obviously, Zou Jin was willing to say such honest words to him out of good intentions and appreciation for him.
It's a pity that Jia Yun couldn't be honest with Zou Jin about this matter. It was impossible for him to tell Zou Jin that he was already creating a way out for himself and even had feelings for him.
Jia Yun cupped her hands to Zou Jin and said, "Thank you Master Zou for this reminder. I know that Master Zou is willing to say these words to me with good intentions."
"I am not hiding anything from Mr. Zou. I have already thought of what you reminded me of. As early as when the emperor transferred me to be the commander of the Jinyi Mansion, I already realized that this is a dangerous official position."
"I also know that I have offended the founding warriors headed by the four kings. This time I will also offend the official circles involved in the Lianghuai Salt Industry. I know that I am in danger. Even if the emperor still appreciates me and protects me, I will not do it in the future.
He will probably die a bad death."
"However, I have no choice. Since the emperor has asked me to be the commander of the Jinyi Mansion, I can only die for the emperor and the Qing Dynasty."
Zou Jin's appreciation for Jia Yun suddenly increased a lot. It can be said that he appreciates her very much!
In Zou Jin's heart, Jia Yun was not only a genius, but also a loyal minister who looked forward to death.
Little did he know that Jia Yun was saying this to him deliberately.
Jia Yun already had some understanding of his personality and knew that such words would be appreciated by him.
…
…
A simple dinner became a little complicated because of the conversation between Jia Yun and Zou Jin.
After dinner, Zou Jin left, and Jia Yun walked into a study room in Qianhusuo.
The study room contains all the account books and letters collected from the houses of the seven salt merchants.
There are a lot of letters in these account books. It would be time-consuming and laborious for Jia Yun to read them alone, and he is not good at such things as account books.
This time when Jia Yun went south to Yangzhou, he specially brought with him a civil official from Jinyi Mansion named Tang Xuan.
At this time, Jia Yun and Tang Xuan reviewed the account books and letters together.
This chapter is not finished yet, please click on the next page to continue reading the exciting content! The first thing Jia Yun checked was the account books and letters collected from Li Danbai's house. After all, Li Danbai was the chief salt merchant he wanted to protect and would not let Tang Xuan check it.
Li Danbai’s account books and letters.
An hour later, Tang Xuan suddenly said to Jia Yun with a face full of shock: "Sir, I discovered a shocking secret!"
Jia Yun, who was checking the account books and letters, raised her head and looked at Tang Xuan: "Oh?"
Tang Xuan said: "This matter is very serious, you should see it yourself."
Tang Xu stood up and handed an account book to Jia Yun's hand, saying: "This is the account book of the Yao family's bribery to the Shui family of the Beijing Prince's Mansion for decades. The amount is huge!"
Tang Xuan handed another document to Jia Yun: "The shocking secret is in this document!"
Jia Yun frowned when she heard this.
Obviously, what Tang Xuan said means that the Shui family has been the backstage of the Yao family decades ago!
Jia Yun didn't know about this in advance, and Emperor Tianzhi obviously didn't know either, otherwise Emperor Tianzhi would probably have asked Jia Yun to severely punish the Yao family this time.
Jia Yun looked through the account books for a while, then picked up the paperwork and read it carefully.
This document is a narrative, and it is a narrative with great literary talent. The person who wrote this narrative is Yao Sili, one of the eight major salt merchants in Yangzhou today.
When Jia Yun carefully read this narrative, like Tang Xuan just now, his face was full of shock, and at the same time, there was a strong surprise in his heart!
This narrative is so extraordinary!
Not because of its brilliant literary talent, but because it tells a shocking secret!
Once, Emperor Kangxing took Emperor Tianzhi and Shuizhen on a tour of the south. At that time, Prince Yi Zhong was in the period of deposing the crown prince, and Shuizhen had not yet inherited the title of Prince Beijing.
At that time, Emperor Kangxing stayed in Yangzhou for many days and lived in Shen Mansion, while Emperor Tianzhi lived in Yao Mansion. Shen Mansion and Yao Mansion were on the same street.
During this period, Shen Yuansi (Shen Yuanwen's father) introduced his daughter Shen Jinyu to Emperor Kangxing, who was attracted by him.
A similar thing happened in Yao Mansion!
Under Shuizhen's instruction, Yao Muchun (Yao Sili's father) arranged for a stunning maid with both talent and beauty to serve Emperor Tianzhi.
This maid named Qingwan was actually a female spy carefully trained by the Shui family. The Shui family wanted Qingwan to become the concubine of Emperor Tianzhi.
At that time, Emperor Tianzhi was still young and a little greedy, and Prince Yi Zhong was in the period of deposing the crown prince. Emperor Tianzhi was highly regarded by Emperor Kangxing and was in a good mood.
Because of this, Emperor Tianzhi and Qingwan had an affair in the house.
Emperor Kangxing took Shen Jinyu away, but Emperor Tianzhi did not take Qingwan away!
At that time, Emperor Kangxing's southern tour was in the name of inspecting river engineering and the Lianghuai Salt Industry.
Emperor Kangxing was the emperor, and he also valued friendship, so he took Shen Jinyu away.
Emperor Tianzhi was just a prince, and he followed Emperor Kangxing to inspect the river works and Lianghuai Salt Industry. If he brought a maid back with him, Emperor Kangxing might be dissatisfied with him, not to mention that he was a ruthless person.
Emperor Tianzhi just gave Qingwan some property and asked Yao Muchun to take care of Qingwan, saying that he would take Qingwan away when there is a suitable opportunity in the future.
As a result, the Shui family's plan failed to materialize.
However, Qingwan is pregnant!
Coincidentally, Shuizhen also got a woman from Yangzhou pregnant at that time. This woman was given to Shuizhen by Yao Muchun. The woman died of illness just after giving birth to the child.
Under Shuizhen's instruction, Yao Muchun secretly exchanged Shuizhen's son with the woman's son and Qingwan's son after Qingwan gave birth!
Even Qingwan didn't know about this.
Later, Qingwan took her son (the son of Shuizhen) to Shenjing City to find Emperor Tianzhi, and was taken in by Emperor Tianzhi. The son of Shuizhen was named Xia Xu.
As for where the son of Emperor Tianzhi and Qing Wansheng was taken by Shuizhen, Yao Muchun didn't know.
The above is the shocking secret in the narrative written by Yao Sili!
Yao Sili also mentioned a detail in the article: the son of Emperor Tianzhi and Qing Wan had an egg-like birthmark on his abdomen!
At this time, Jia Yun's face was shocked after reading this narrative, and she felt a strong surprise in her heart!
There is an egg-like birthmark on his abdomen!
He was almost certain that he was the son of Emperor Tianzhi and Qing Wansheng!
Shuizhen changed his son to the son of Emperor Tianzhi, and secretly arranged for Jia Yun to be raised by Jia Zhuo and Bu Wuniang!
But now, Qingwan's identity is Duan's concubine, and Xia Xu is the sixth prince of Emperor Tianzhi, and has been granted the title of Prince Gong!
Although Qingwan's original identity was just a "maid", she gave birth to a son to Emperor Tianzhi, and Emperor Tianzhi liked Qingwan very much, so he later made Qingwan his concubine.
The reason why Xia Xu was granted the title of Prince Gong was not only because his mother was a concubine, but also because Emperor Tianzhi had very few sons. Five of the ten sons he gave birth to were dead, and now there are only five left.
In the previous Qing Dynasty, the death rate of princes and daughters was as high as 50%, and the Qing Dynasty was similar in this respect.
What is Shuizhen's purpose in doing this?
Yao Sili did not mention this issue clearly in his narrative, but only mentioned the sentence "The plot is very big."
And Jia Yun has already speculated that the Shui family may have turned against them and planned to support Xia Xu to ascend the throne in the future. In this case, the Qing Dynasty will belong to the Shui family!
Jia Yun originally planned to complete the Yangzhou matter quickly this time, and then return to the sacred city of Jing to find Shui Rong to ask about the mystery of her life experience. Unexpectedly, she now found out by chance!
What's more, I didn't expect that he was not the son of Shuizhen, nor the son of Prince Yi Zhong, but the son of Emperor Tianzhi!
This means that the very dangerous situation he is currently in can be resolved!
Although Emperor Tianzhi was a very rational and ruthless emperor, Jia Yun knew that Emperor Tianzhi treated his sons well and would definitely not kill them!
When Jia Yun was working as a first-class imperial guard, she saw Emperor Tianzhi and his princes getting along with each other many times.
What's more, Emperor Tianzhi now only has five sons, and Jia Yun is a talented person with great abilities!
Under this situation, Jia Yun believed that Emperor Tianzhi would not continue to put his son to death!
In addition, Jia Yun also knew one thing, that is, Emperor Kangxing and Emperor Tianzhi both had an egg-like birthmark on their abdomens!
Prince Yi Zhong became the crown prince mainly because he was the eldest son of Emperor Kangxing.
One of the reasons why Emperor Tianzhi was so respected by Emperor Kangxing was that Emperor Tianzhi had an egg-like birthmark on his abdomen. Emperor Kangxing gave birth to many children, but only Emperor Tianzhi inherited his birthmark!
And Jia Yun also has such a birthmark on her abdomen!
Another reason why Jia Yun suspected that she was the son of Prince Yi Zhong before was because of the birthmark!
Jia Yun has long felt that she is a lucky person.
At this moment, Jia Yun felt this even more strongly!
In his opinion, his great luck is not the inheritance of the luck of the two generations of the Rongguo Mansion, nor the luck inheritance of the Qing Dynasty royal family, but his great luck as a time traveler!
With Yao Sili's narrative and the egg-like birthmark on his abdomen, it was not difficult to convince Emperor Tianzhi that Jia Yun was his son.
During the day, Jia Yun escorted Yao Sili to the Yao Mansion to search Yao Sili's study and main room. At that time, Yao Sili resisted fiercely and even negotiated with Jia Yun, saying that only if Jia Yun did not search the account books and letters in his house, he would cooperate and pay 17
Ten thousand taels of silver for criminal prosecution...
Now Jia Yun finally understands.
The main reason why Yao Sili resisted so fiercely was that there was such a shocking secret hidden in the main room of Yao Sili's study!
Haha, the Yao family dared to collude with the Shui family and exchange Emperor Tianzhi's son with Shuizhen's son. They had a grand conspiracy. Once Emperor Tianzhi knew about this, the Yao family would definitely end up miserable!
