Jing Jingyan had no choice but to go find Grandma Yuan, and first asked the medical girl from the Huimin Department to check the girl from Jifang to see how many people were sick.
This was also Yuan Qingling's original intention. After all, if those officials were to be examined, few of them would cooperate. They would rather go to a doctor for treatment in private.
After this inspection, Grandma Yuan really took a breath.
More than 20 sick women were actually found in the shop, and all of these 20 women had already shown symptoms, but they had just bought potions from the shop and soaked them.
What Master Leng never expected was that the first thing he had to do after taking office was to track down the officials who suffered from this disease.
It is said that there are also records in the Jiaofang. Which officials the girls have served are all recorded one by one. You can find out by looking in the book.
There was a fire at the Piansheng Jiaofang and the booklet was burned. There was no way to trace it, so we had to ask the girls, but the girls seemed to have confirmed their confessions in advance and said they did not know the identities of the adults.
Now that this is the case, it doesn't matter whether the matter is investigated or not. In the early morning, Li Jingyan gave a severe reprimand and asked those officials who had passed the news to the girls to check their bodies. If they were sick, they must be treated.
After Ling Yan's reprimand, naturally no one in the palace dared to refute, and even most of the officials came out to agree with his words, as if as long as he agreed with Master Leng's words, he had never been to that kind of place to find a girl.
Originally, the matter was settled like this, but unexpectedly, a woman from the theater told the people who were sent to inquire by Ling Yan that the oiran girl Zuiyue in the theater had served the prince, and more than once.
When it came to the prince, the investigating official came back and informed Jing Jingyan. Naturally, Jing Yan didn't believe it. It wasn't that the prince's character was noble. The main thing was that the prince would not do anything that cost money.
However, since others must be present when asking questions, and the reputation of the prince was at stake, Jing Jingyan still asked the Zuiyue girl to come over and ask him, and also called the director of the studio.
After asking this question, the head of the studio murmured that such a thing did happen, and that he personally sent Miss Zuiyue and another girl there that night, and the place to eat and drink was at Fudexuan.
He also saw with his own eyes His Royal Highness the Crown Prince was inside.
Jing Jingyan was surprised and asked: "Besides His Royal Highness, who else is inside?"
"There are three other people, but I don't know them!" the master said.
In this case, it was not that the woman was making nonsense, but that the prince actually asked them to come over and perform their skills.
But even so, I don't think I did anything inappropriate, I was just drinking with him.
He didn't tell Yuan Qingling about this to avoid her thinking too much, but he told the King of Qi and asked people from the Jingzhao Mansion to find out, because so many people didn't confess, only the prince did.
It's a bit intriguing.
When King Qi heard about this, he immediately ordered people to bring Zuiyue back for questioning. Miss Zuiyue told what happened that night and also told the characteristics of the other three people. When King Qi heard this, he knew that she was with Mr. Su.
Biao, Reckless, Wang Jiang, he asked someone to ask Old Biao Su and Reckless, and confirmed that this was the case. As for those girls, Old Biao Su invited them over. He invited four girls, including Zuiyue.
girl.
King Qi thought that nothing must have happened that day, and he was just singing songs to cheer up, but Zuiyue insisted that she had a relationship with the prince. How could King Qi believe it? He ordered people to bring Su Laobiao and Ru Rui over and ask them, those two people
But they said they didn't know, because they took the other two girls with them. As for whether Wang Jiang and the prince took them away, they didn't know.
But now the prince and Wang Jiang went to Wuzhou Mansion again and couldn't ask.
King Qi couldn't hide the matter in his heart, so he went back and told Yuan Yongyi. After speaking, he asked melancholy: "Could it be that Fifth Brother really made a mistake?"
Yuan Yongyi said: "His Royal Highness the Crown Prince is not that kind of person. He has a deep love with Sister Yuan. He is not even willing to become a concubine. How could he do those things?"
"But Zuiyue insisted that it had happened before. If it wasn't true, how could she dare to say that?" King Qi said.
"Who knows what kind of heart she has?" Yuan Yongyi said coldly, "I don't believe it at all. That Zuiyue must be talking nonsense. If you ask her to come tomorrow, I will ask her."
"Well, tomorrow I will check the identity of Zuiyue first. When I saw her today, she looks good and a bit arrogant. She is probably an official lady who has not been registered as an official."
King Qi paused and asked, "Do you want to tell Fifth Sister-in-law about this? Zuiyue is not willing to be examined, and she doesn't know whether she is sick. If Fifth Brother is really ridiculous, Fifth Sister-in-law must be informed, right?"
This disease can be passed from person to person."
Yuan Yongyi frowned, "Don't say it yet, let me ask you tomorrow before making plans!"
She never believed that the prince would do such a thing.
"Okay, I listen to you!" King Qi acted extremely well-behaved and sat next to her, "Big Fatty, I will never invite these women to come over and drink with you. Now that I have time, I will go back to the house to accompany you and your family.
Sister Bao, I won’t even look at those women twice.”
Yuan Yongyi gave him an angry look, "Who cares about you? Just go if you want to!"
King Qi hugged her and said, "I don't dare, I can't beat you."
"Get lost!" Yuan Yongyi yelled with a smile.
The next day, after returning to the Yamen, King Qi first investigated the identity of Zuiyue. After searching, he found out that she was the daughter of Shang Datian, the magistrate of Hongzhou. Her original name was Shang Qiudi. Shang Datian was originally a subordinate of Yu Wenjun.
He was transferred to Hongzhou as the magistrate. When Yu Wenjun was convicted, he found out a bunch of officials. All of these officials were questioned. His family members were not registered as actors, and the men were registered as slaves.
Shang Datian was also imprisoned at that time, and his children were all dealt with according to the treatment at that time, either entering the church or becoming slaves.
King Qi found the official who was handling the case at the time and asked about the situation at that time, because King Qi remembered that this Shang Datian was an upright official. Although he was promoted by Yu Wenjun, he was transferred to Hongzhou as the prefect.
, rarely returned to Beijing, and he probably never participated in Yu Wenjun's misdeeds at that time.
The official who handled the case said: "After Shang Datian was convicted, he kept shouting that he was wronged. However, there was indeed evidence that he colluded with the eldest prince and conspired, so he was dealt with according to the order at that time."
After a pause, the official sighed again: "Actually, many officials were implicated at that time, and they may not have committed any serious crimes. It's just that the emperor was furious at that time, and no one dared to say anything, so let's just say,
No one dared to say whether any of these convicted officials were innocent, and no one investigated after the incident."
King Qi pondered for a moment, "This case has been going on for so long. If anyone is really wronged, he should be redressed."
"No one dares to mention this matter. Who dares to mention it to the emperor?"
"When Fifth Brother comes back, I will tell him. My father is indeed unwilling to mention these matters, but Fifth Brother has the right to inquire." King Qi said.
The official of the Ministry of Personnel said softly: "Your Majesty, my subordinates have said frankly that the officialdom needs to be rectified. I would also like to ask Your Majesty to inform His Highness the Crown Prince. If the rectification is not rectified, there will be endless troubles."
King Qi raised his eyebrows, "You are from the Ministry of Personnel. Even you say this, which shows that the behavior of this official is really a bit too much!"
