On the other side, an unexpected guest came to the eldest man's courtyard.
The reason why Prince Zhongshun's Mansion Chief Shi came to visit was naturally quite simple, that is, a certain external steward of Prince Zhongshun's Mansion had also been arrested. Naturally, Chief Shi came to communicate with the elder about his release.
In the eyes of outsiders, Nima is coming to provoke you!
Who doesn't know that the eldest master once severely damaged Prince Zhongshun's face, and the two are now veritable enemies. Isn't the prince's palace chief going to visit to find trouble with the eldest master?
Some guys watch the show with the idea of gloating about the misfortune. They have long been unhappy with the big boss.
But if someone could see the scene in the study room of another courtyard, their eyes would definitely pop out.
The promised tit-for-tat confrontation, the promised non-compliance, what the hell is this scene of the eldest master and the royal family chief chatting and drinking tea?
That's right, Shi Lai, the head of Prince Zhongshun's palace, was not overbearing. On the contrary, his attitude was quite polite. He didn't seem to want to use his power to pressure others. As for the captured outsider of the palace, he didn't even mention it.
"Master Jia, there has been a big disturbance this time. Aren't you afraid of causing public outrage?"
Palace Chief Shi smiled and said, "I'm afraid Mr. Jia is under a lot of pressure now!"
The old man smiled slightly and was noncommittal, pressure?
There’s so much pressure!
But there is no shame in acting impartially. As for the clowns from the outside world, will the great master take it to heart?
Are you kidding me? With his strength, who in the world can really force him to bow his head?
Even if he really fell out with the royal family and was wanted or even hunted down, it is still unclear who suffered the most losses in the end. Anyway, the eldest master had no worries about his own safety.
"Why, Mr. Jia is confident. Is there some back-up plan?"
Seeing that the eldest master looked calm and calm, as if he had not been disturbed by the external disturbances at all, Shi, the head of Prince Zhongshun's palace, was curious and couldn't help but ask.
Out of the corner of his eye, he inadvertently saw a small knife in the old man's hand, which was as smooth as a juggler. It shone with cold light and showed its sharpness, and his heart suddenly lurched.
Damn it, why did you forget Jia She’s terrifying force?
On second thought, it seemed strange. Did Jia She think that because of his high strength, he could ignore these pressures?
"If you have any advice from the long history, just tell me!"
The elder didn't answer but asked instead, "Brother Xindao, I'm not familiar with you that well. What can I say?"
"Haha, Prince Zhongshun is very optimistic about Mr. Jia's future. I wonder if there is any possibility of cooperation between the two families?"
The royal palace chief Shi felt a little regretful, but he still directly explained the reason.
The eldest man glanced at the palace chief and said with a smile: "To be honest, I don't want to get involved in the disputes within the royal family at all!"
Ignoring the change in the expression of Prince Palace Chief Shi, he continued: "The philosophy I have always adhered to is that I will not offend others unless they offend me. As for the arrested outsider of the Palace..."
Having said this, he took out a dossier from the bookshelf and handed it directly to the chief historian of the palace and said with a smile: "The reasons are all in it. The chief historian will know it at a glance!"
Nodding silently and taking it, Wangfu Changshi felt a little regretful.
Although I had known that this would be the result, after all, the eldest master had not dealt with Prince Zhongshun before, and it was indeed a bit strange to suddenly defect to him.
But not only why, but also feeling very regretful?
"This, this, this, is this true?"
Soon, all regrets and dissatisfaction were thrown away. The attention of the royal palace chief was completely attracted by the contents of the file in his hand. His face was ashen and his eyes seemed to be spitting fire.
"Of course it's true. Why don't Chang Shi go to the Shuntian Mansion Prison to interrogate him personally?"
He understood the mood of Prince Zhongshun's chief minister, and reminded him with a smile: "This man's mouth is a bit tough, but when all the torture instruments in the cell were taken out, he immediately used everything!"
It was an understatement, but Chang Shi couldn't help but shudder. He didn't know what was going on in the Shuntian Mansion Prison. It was probably a dangerous place and he had no intention of visiting it.
"Forget it, with this file, I believe that the prince's misunderstanding will be alleviated a lot!"
Seeing what was recorded in the file, Chang Shi felt a shocking rush. The person who was arrested was really bold. He was not as cautious as in the impression at all. He could be described as doing all kinds of evil, and the amount of money he collected was also
A number that shocked Chang Shi.
At this moment, he suddenly understood the great master's confidence. If the guys caught by the Shuntian Mansion were all as good as the stewards outside the palace, I'm afraid that no matter how angry the masters behind them were, they would not easily go to the great master.
Troublesome.
Speaking of which, the eldest master is still a 'good guy' who helped them find out the bad guys in the house. At least those dignitaries who have lost face will not say anything on the surface.
only……
"Master Jia, I will go back and report to the prince right now!"
Chang Shi couldn't sit still and stood up to say goodbye, but before leaving, he still mentioned: "If there is any trouble that cannot be solved, Mr. Jia, just send someone to send a message to the palace. The prince will be happy to help Mr. Jia solve the trouble!"
No matter what, the old man is definitely a talent!
Being able to open the mouths of the officials outside the palace in such a short period of time, even though he may have used some forceful means, he may have taken such a tough move without any hesitation, which also shows the confidence in the heart of the eldest master.
The royal family chief Shi felt that the eldest man was indeed no ordinary warrior. He was brave and resourceful and no one dared to underestimate him. It was nothing to leave a good favor before leaving.
"Haha, if such a day comes, I won't be pretentious!"
The elder is not polite. The other party's attitude is so kind, there is no need to use harsh words. Besides, this is also his psychological talk.
If it really gets to that point, it’s hard to say that it has to teach today a profound lesson.
…
"Your Majesty, I have something to report to you!"
Hurrying back to Prince Zhongshun's Mansion, Chang Shi hurriedly asked to see Prince Zhongshun.
"come in!"
Prince Zhongshun was handling affairs in the study. He called Chang Shi in and asked directly without waiting for the courtesy, "What did Marquis Jia En say?"
"There is no possibility of taking him under his command for the time being!"
Chang Shi said sternly: "But the other party didn't say anything bad directly. Obviously, he doesn't have much prejudice against the prince!"
Seeing that Prince Zhongshun was a little dissatisfied with the result, he hurriedly smiled and said: "Your Majesty, there is no need to worry, this is a good start. At least Jia Enhou did not completely reject the Prince's kindness. If there is an opportunity to continue to communicate in the future, it will naturally fall into place when the time comes!"
"
Prince Zhongshun nodded, saw the file in Chang Shi's hand, and asked curiously: "What is this?"
At this time, Prince Zhongshun is not the "absurd" prince in the original novel "The Red Mansion". Because he has ambitions for the throne and puts them into practice, his whole person is full of energy and ambition, and there is no trace of decadence at all.
"Your Majesty, this is the confession of the officer in charge of the palace who was arrested!"
Speaking of this, Chang Shi's face became very serious and said in a deep voice, "We must clean up these moths, otherwise not only will there be financial losses, but the reputation of the palace will be greatly affected!"
While speaking, he handed the file in his hands to Prince Zhongshun.
"What Chang Shi said is true, it really needs to be rectified!"
After a quick glance at the contents of the file, Prince Zhongshun frowned slightly and was filled with anger. He did not expect that a mere foreign minister would be so bold.
He killed several people in a year, ruined their families, and made almost half a million taels of wealth in a few years, which is simply unbelievable.
The records in the file go far beyond that, and the robbery was just trivial. What bothered Prince Zhongshun the most was that the man who was captured had the courage to accept gifts from foreign officials on behalf of the palace.
Moreover, through his status as a steward of the palace, this guy also helped these small officials who gave gifts to do a lot of things, and even formed a certain reputation.
How abominable!
Prince Zhongshun was so angry that he almost vomited blood. He didn't dare to make it too obvious about taking money from others to run for an official position. Unexpectedly, an unknown foreign minister under his command actually did it with great success.
Almost.
Fortunately, these guys are all holding official positions below the seventh rank, otherwise Prince Zhongshun would stumble one day and he wouldn't know what happened.
"Let this guy die quietly in Shuntian Mansion Prison!"
Slamming the file on the table, Prince Zhongshun said with a sullen face: "Say hello to Marquis Jia En, he gave me face and I took note of it, and there will be reports in the future!"
…
Not only was Prince Zhongshun extremely angry, but most of the dignitaries who came to ask the Grand Master to release him were so angry that they wanted to kill people after receiving a detailed file.
It would be best if the steward who climbed outside was killed.
Of course, there are also those who are extremely protective of their shortcomings. Even if they get the dossier, they won't take it seriously and insist on asking the great master to release him. I don't know what they are thinking.
How can the elder be so polite?
Since the other party was so disrespectful to others, he naturally would not show any face to others either. He directly disclosed to the public all the officers who were caught by the other party and their crimes, and then said that he would deal with them impartially as soon as possible, without even bothering to pay attention to the extreme dissatisfaction of those families.
.
The whole capital was in a sensation, and the people were talking in shock and relief.
To be honest, the hands of those wealthy servants who were exposed were all stained with innocent innocent souls, and there were many people who were oppressed. It is not an exaggeration to say that they were full of evil.
The circle of powerful people was even more shocked. They were shocked by the unscrupulousness of the big boss, and they were even more surprised by the exposed methods of the powerful servant.
According to the situation announced by the Shuntian Mansion, the group of captured wealthy servants were simply poaching the master's family, using the master's name to make huge profits, and did not care at all about the losses and harm the master's family would suffer.
Such a situation was an eye-opener for the powerful. For the first time, they did not focus on the great master. Instead, they began to conduct self-examination either covertly or directly. They wanted to see if their servants were also so unscrupulous and prepared to prevent hidden dangers in advance.
strangled in the cradle.
Seeing this, the Ministry of Punishment immediately followed up and sentenced the captured servants. The least severe ones were exiled thousands of miles away, and most of them were directly prepared to be executed after the fall!
