Jia Cong told the truth that everyone knew but few people were willing to tell. King Yan's subordinates fell silent immediately, and no one dared to say a word for a long time. Situ Pan looked around and said, "Don't you guys have anything to say?"
It was Roman who first held up his hands and said: "Your Majesty, these 'Rangers' are obviously not Rangers. We are still unsure of their origins and purpose. We still need to find out. Even if they seem to be beneficial to the Prince at this moment, what if one day they
Changed your mind?"
Situ Pan said: "What if we can't find out?"
A counselor stroked his beard and said: "If we can't find out the truth, we can only wait. Stay the same to cope with all changes."
Situ Pan said: "It is impossible to ignore it. Such a big matter must be investigated." Feng Ziying bent down and agreed. Situ Pan turned to see Jia Cong holding his cheek thoughtfully, and asked, "What is Jia Cong thinking about?"
Jia Cong said: "It's still the same thing. What do they want? If these people are very capable, it's fine if they can't be caught. They have to figure out what they want. They won't help the government when they are full. Even if they are full, they can't catch them.
It’s the purpose of trying to be a hero and please women.”
Feng Ziying said: "My predecessor went to the Military and Horse Department of the Five Cities to get the handwriting left by them. Some of them were written by the same person. However, there were so many people that there were twenty-seven different handwritings."
Jia Cong asked: "Is there just one person who is good at writing multiple handwritings?"
Feng Ziying said: "Impossible, there are too many of them. Four of them died last night. One of them was the master who lived in Muni Temple outside Ximen. This woman didn't know any medical skills, and she pretended to be a ghost for half a month.
The patient died. The family also beat the drum to complain, but they couldn't find any evidence to prove that there was anything wrong with the elixir water. The other one was a Taoist priest from Tianqi Temple who hooked up with the girl who came to offer incense. The little girl
She was only thirteen years old, and she committed suicide because she was pregnant. The other one was a loan shark from Mahua Street, and the interest was too high. There was a waiter in a restaurant who borrowed his money to treat my mother's illness.
The profit was not enough, so in addition to the serious work, he also did some hard work to make money. He died suddenly a few days ago. The other one was... Lord Sima Tianpu Murata."
"What?" Situ Pan was shocked. This man is a serious villain. He is greedy, ruthless and sinister. He has great ambitions and is very talented. He is an excellent knife, but Situ Pan used him to clean it up.
Many smelly and hard old immortals may be useful later. "Tianpu Village is dead? Why?"
Feng Ziying said solemnly: "Master Tian... arrested someone." He paused, "The crime is arrears of official silver." Situ Pan said nothing, picked up the tea cup and took a sip of tea. Feng Ziying lowered his head slightly.
, "The prince's concubine's father fell in love with some antique fans, but the owner refused to sell them. After returning home, he sighed and lamented endlessly. Master Tian learned about them and raided that person's house."
"Bang!" Situ Pan raised his hand and smashed the tea cup into pieces, spilling the tea soup all over the floor.
Everyone in the room immediately lowered their heads. Only Jia Cong shouted: "The prince is innocent!" All the people in the room turned to look at him. Jia Cong said, "Brother Feng, this
Don't you think of those who bully good people? For example, those who seize people's fields, houses, wives and daughters. I don't believe that such a large Yan Prince's palace is so clean. Even the eunuchs and managers who do bad things can't be found. And there are those like the prince.
Feng Ziying said: "Yes. Three days ago, Wu Deyin, the brother of Wu Liang, the chief steward of the palace, killed a fanboy while doing tricks in the flower house, and asked those 'errants' to kill him. Seven days ago, the uncle of a concubine in the prince's backyard was killed.
He forcibly bought a house on Xinglong Street and died unexpectedly."
Jia Cong looked at Situ Pan and said, "My lord, do you know these two things? You are also responsible for the lax governance." Situ Pan's face turned black, white, red, and purple, as if he were opening a clothing store.
Gritting his teeth in silence, Jia Cong curled his lips and said, "Don't ask me how I know. Our government has been dealing with this kind of slaves for more than ten years! Ten, several, years, ah! It's like the waves behind the Yangtze River push the waves ahead, and we have dealt with them.
There are batches after batches. Until now, there is no way. No matter how honest and honest he was when he was sent here, it can take up to two years or half a month..." He spread his hands. Everyone was silent.
After a long while, Situ Pan said: "The people living in Xinglong Street are all government officials. Whose house did he take?"
Feng Ziying said: "It belongs to the former Imperial Procuratorate's left censor, Lao Fuhe. Since Mr. Lao has retired to his old age, he probably lives in another secluded house in the south of the city. The house on Xinglong Street is now empty."
Situ Pan sneered and said: "Lao Fuhe was also the Minister of Household Affairs. Some people even dared to rob his house."
Jia Cong whispered: "Prisoners also have human rights. They are bought by force, not taken by force." Situ Pan glanced at him. Jia Cong muttered, "You have to be realistic, right? I just don't know if the money is enough."
Feng Ziying said: "It's about 50% cheaper than the market price." Situ Pan's face was almost dripping with ink.
Jia Cong said again, "Well... Wan Sheng thinks that the prince's concubine is also innocent." Feng Ziying coughed twice. He continued, "The dispute in the harem is like that of an ordinary concubine in the court.
, no matter you are favored or not, you cannot allow your relatives to do such a thing. Isn't this just rushing to give the disadvantage to the opponent? Most likely, the uncle himself is using the palace's sign to scare people outside. People don't dare to come.
Isn't it necessary to ask the prince to testify? Did Mr. Lao come to the prince's palace to ask for an audience?" He raised his hands and said tremblingly, "Your Majesty, will so-and-so's niece be favored in your harem? If not, that's all. If you are favored, that's all.
Then sell the house to him cheaply..." Feng Ziying couldn't bear it and kicked him hard. Everyone was speechless again.
After a long time, it was Roman who finally spoke first: "Your Majesty, just look at the four people last night, except for the Lord Tianpu Village, the remaining three have no merits to make up for their sins. It is the fault of the Five Cities Soldiers and Horses Division."
Jia Cong said again: "That's not right! There is nothing the Five Cities Military Command can do about these things. The first thing is that the master's wife was invited by the host's family themselves; the second thing is that the daughter of that family hanged herself, and
There is no evidence for this kind of thing, so it is easy to deny it. The third thing is, the person who can have anything to do with the prince is Zhao Cheng’s peeing. How dare he take care of it? He is only a sixth-grade official!"
After a while, Situ Pan glanced at him and said, "You are the only one who grinds your teeth in the whole room. How should I deal with it?"
Jia Cong touched the back of his head: "Your Majesty, you have to admit that these are all good things that please people's hearts." Situ Pan snorted. Jia Cong continued, "It seems that if those 'rangers' have any feelings for the prince,
The only thing malicious people can want is the support of the people. After many years, a person suddenly appears and spreads the word that he did these things, which will surely attract the support of the people."
Situ Pan said with a straight face: "I'm asking you how to deal with it."
Jia Cong said: "Now I'm just pretending to be unintentional. I'm trying to get credit! Didn't Mr. Tian arrest someone randomly? Let him be released today. The antique fan must have been sent to the deceased concubine's natal family. Take it and return it to her."
Let me ask the prince's concubine to apologize to that person in person and give him a generous gift. Naturally, the house on Xinglong Street will be returned to Mr. Lao, and the money used for the business will be refunded. The master, the Taoist priest, and the loan shark will all die.
After he died, he published a list of his evil deeds and used some tricks to obscure the meaning. There were many people in the capital, so few people knew the details. Ordinary people read the list and thought it was the government redressing the grievances of the people."
Everyone couldn't help but look at each other. After a while, Roman couldn't help but said: "It's a bit shameless to do this." Situ Pan couldn't help but have a smile on his face.
Jia Cong shrugged: "It's better to be shameless now than to offend the people in the past. The commander of the Five Cities Military and Horse Division, Mr. Zhao Cheng, dealt with dozens of gangs of kidnappers, large and small, last month. This is true.
The people have a good impression of him."
An aide said: "What if someone jumps out and says they did this?"
Jia Cong said lazily: "Oh, what did they do? Where's the evidence? Take it out and confront it in court! Please help the Imperial Guards examine it."
Feng Ziying said: "I can check it without alerting the imperial guards."
Another one said: "If it's just some criminals who committed crimes, they also attacked the high officials of the imperial court. How can this happen?" Jia Cong immediately pursed his lips and shut them tightly.
Situ Pan closed his eyes for a while, then opened them and sighed: "That's all. Let's just kill the chicken to scare the monkey, lest someone doesn't do serious things all day long, but has time to help someone's father-in-law make a fan." Everyone bowed their heads again.
One piece. Situ Pan raised his eyes and looked at Jia Cong, "Mr. Jia thinks the prince is innocent?"
Jia Cong nodded: "Not only is the prince innocent, but also his father-in-law. There is nothing wrong with liking a fan, there is nothing wrong with wanting to buy it, and there is nothing wrong with being upset if you can't buy it. This matter is the fault of the two of them. Firstly
, Lord Tianpu Murata who did evil; secondly, the prince himself."
When Situ Pan saw him suddenly sitting upright, he knew that he must have something important to say. Hearing this, he smiled and said, "What's wrong with me?"
Jia Cong said: "Master Tianpu Village is an important minister in the court. He is the assistant military counselor and counselor of the government. He is already a very high official. What did the prince say or do wrong to make Master Tian so powerful?"
The officials mistakenly thought that pleasing me, the Crown Princess, would be good for their future? Is there anyone in the court who was promoted because he pleased the Princess's parents and brothers?" Situ Pan frowned. Jia Cong paused and continued, "Or
Was there such a person before, but the prince didn’t know about it?”
Situ Pan's face turned livid in an instant. The superiors were most afraid of being deceived and thinking that they were blind. Someone stood up immediately and said, "Your Majesty, I would like to clean up and rectify the Metropolitan Procuratorate."
Jia Cong added at the end: "It is best to send the victim to do this - if there is a suitable person."
The man just now said: "Lao Lao is getting old, so he will no longer be able to do it."
Jia Cong curled his lips and said: "Master Lao is definitely not the first, nor the last."
Everyone started talking one after another. Recommendations of all kinds were flying all over the place, at least a dozen candidates were mentioned, all of them were upright and loyal people who did not belong to parties or groups. Situ Pan listened for a long time while holding tea in his hand, glanced down and said:
"It's time to leave today. Feng Ziying stays." Everyone stood up and saluted, and filed out, like frightened rabbits blinking away. Only Jia Cong paced slowly with his hands behind his hands.
Suddenly someone shouted: "Cong'er!"
Jia Cong turned around and saw that it was Wei Ruolan. He was surprised and said: "Brother Wei! Aren't you a military commander? Aren't the staff having a meeting today?"
Wei Ruolan smiled and said: "There are several generals here today, and you probably don't recognize them yet."
Jia Cong rubbed the back of his head: "I'm too lazy to know so many people." He glanced at him and said, "I thought you would go to Japan to fight."
Wei Ruolan said: "Wei Ruoheng went to Japan, what's the point of me going there again? I will go to North America in a few days."
Jia Cong's eyes lit up and he bowed to the ground: "I wish General Wei a great victory and immediate success!"
Wei Ruolan smiled slightly, pulled him and slipped under the corridor and whispered: "Cong'er, what you said today is a bit reckless." Jia Cong raised his eyebrows. Wei Ruolan lowered his voice even more, "You are not in the capital.
I don’t know. The person my uncle bought the house on Xinglong Street is the mother of the fourth child. None of the people who live on Xinglong Street are petty officials.”
Jia Cong glanced sideways at Wei Ruolan and said, "I don't know everything, but I can see it more clearly than the adults in the capital. Brother Wei, I have a piece of advice for you."
Wei Ruolan cupped her hands and said, "I am all ears."
"What is the origin of the prince? He grew up in a deep palace, his mother and concubine fell out of favor, and his brother was incompetent. Later, his brother succeeded to the throne and became a saint, and he quarreled with other princes. Later, he overthrew the rebellious Prince Xianyi Zhong; and later he became a saint.
It was a chaos in the capital. The road he walked back then was much more difficult than that of his sons! His sons were nothing compared to the big witches in front of him. He did not take action to clean up, but he was too busy to take care of it. If he wanted to take care of it, he had to move his fingers.
"It's a matter of fact." Jia Cong said sternly, "Since we have followed the prince, the prince's sons will treat them as children, regardless of their age, whether they are married and have children. As long as your ability on the battlefield is not inferior to that of Wei Ruolan,
Give it to Wei Ruoheng, no matter who the prince passes the throne to in the future, he will be a general."
Wei Ruolan was stunned for a long time after hearing this, and then bowed deeply: "Brother, what you said makes sense."
Jia Cong rolled his eyes: "Hey, you're not stupid enough to befriend any of the prince's sons, are you? You are a military commander!"
Wei Ruolan said: "Not really. There are just a lot of people who want to make detours to make friends with me."
Jia Cong shook his head and said, "They are all fools." Then he touched his stomach and said, "Hungry!"
Wei Ruolan smiled and said, "We haven't seen each other for a while, so I'll treat you to a drink!"
"That's all. Which restaurant has the best food? It's important to fill your stomach first." Then they left together.
The two of them had just left the courtyard when a man jumped up from the top of the corridor and went to Situ Pan's house to report everything he had just heard. Situ Pan nodded lightly and said to Feng Ziying: "Jia
Neither Cong nor Tianpu Village are gentlemen, and they are both easier to use than ordinary people. What Jia Cong said is that he can see clearly when he is not in the capital. Tianpu Village..." Nai shook his head, "It's a pity. Those guys are sticking out.
All my arms and legs were chopped off this time."
Feng Ziying responded "Yes" and added: "My subordinates do have a list of names, but they can't take action. If the name is not justified, it will not be right."
Situ Pan thought for a while: "Although Lao Fuhe is old, he still has good eyesight. He strongly recommended Jia Lian to Jiangxi to recruit people. Where is his son working?"
Feng Ziying said: "The eldest son Lao Yanjia is currently the deputy envoy of the General Affairs Department."
Situ Pan hummed: "The fourth-rank officials are not young anymore, and they dare to seize their houses. Let him take care of this matter. Thoroughly investigate, thoroughly investigate."
Feng Ziying was stunned for a moment, opened her mouth, but was speechless. (. Just love the website)
