The author has something to say: ps: Today is the first update! Everyone, go to bed early! Make a modification here. In the previous chapter, it was said that Mrs. Liang and Zhao Cong are aunt and nephew. Shitou got the seniority wrong, so here it is changed to uncle.
Sibling relationship!
With the news that Li Yuhua got from Queen Mother Lan, and Mu Anzhi who was in charge of the Criminal Department, it would be easy to ask about the Cheng family's case back then.
Both Zheng Langzhong and Xu Langzhong have been in the Ministry of Punishment for many years.
Doctor Zheng knew the case better, "When it comes to the Cheng family case, we have to mention the Liu family case. The Liu family case implicated many families at that time, and the Cheng family was one of them. At that time, several men in the family were involved in the confiscation of their homes.
While the case was ongoing, most of the men were beheaded or exiled, and some female relatives were also involved in the case, and were sentenced according to the law."
Only a man like Dr. Zheng, who had never looked at Shangguan's face, could speak so frankly and forthrightly. Mu Anzhi nodded and said nothing more.
This matter was revealed, and the intersection between Mu Anzhi and Lin Cheng ended there.
Mu Anzhi originally thought so too.
After Emperor Mu Xuan granted Princess Jiayue a marriage, the palace began to prepare for Princess Jiayue's marriage since Qin Tian monitored the auspicious date. One month later, it would be Empress Dowager Lan's birthday. Li Yuhua was preparing a birthday gift for Empress Dowager Lan, and Mu Anzhi also began to take over.
The emissary involved in the case of illicit salt in Shu.
When Li Yuhua returned to his villa from Yongshou Guest House, Mei Dianbo ran over to report, "Manager Yan came here in the morning. Madam, the convoy transporting cotton to our family was blocked on the official road."
"What's going on? You're at home and didn't go over to take a look?" Li Yuhua paused and looked at Mei Dianbook.
Mei Dianbo cried sadly, pointing to his right cheek where the swelling had subsided and a faint palm print could still be seen, "The little one went, but the guards guarding the road were very overbearing. Before the little man could finish his words, he slapped him.
I beat the villain half-conscious and asked them to imprison the cotton cart."
Li Yuhua's face turned dark immediately and asked him, "Didn't you say that you were an official of the Third Prince's Mansion?"
"The little one said it. The person who impounded the cart was a sixth-grade captain of the Imperial Guard, four ranks higher than the little one." Mei Dianbu said, "The contract we signed with the cotton households is that they will transport cotton to our workshop. They
I had no other choice, so I went to see Yan Guanshi. Yan Guanshi came to the mansion after going over to discuss it but couldn't get it done. I originally wanted to smooth things over, but I didn't expect the imperial guards to be very overbearing. I really had no choice but to wait for His Highness to come back.
Write a warrant."
Mei Dianbo explained the cause and effect, and Li Yuhua said, "Ask Yan Lin to come over and see me."
Mei Dianbu went down to deliver the message.
Yan Lin is now in charge of Li Yuhua's suburban workshop and is very capable. To be fair, she is even more shrewd and powerful than Mei Dianbo. Since Yan Lin can't handle it, it must be extremely difficult to deal with.
Li Yuhua changed into cherry red home-style clothes. Yan Lin came over and was blessed. Li Yuhua pointed to the chair beside him and said, "Sit down and talk."
The cause and effect were similar to what Mei Dianbo said. Yan Lin frowned and said, "Our workshop is in the suburbs. Normally, the city inspection department only goes out of the city for sporadic inspections every day. They have paid for it and it has always been smooth. This year, His Majesty is spending the summer in the palace, and the official
There are more guards patrolling the road. Although they are a little strict on the merchants, they are not too outrageous. Our cotton caravan was responsible for collecting some money last time, but this time it failed, and the cotton truck was impounded. "
Li Yuhua said, "Those who do business in the imperial capital all have some background. They just want to pay for a cup of tea. Who is this?"
"I have inquired, and he is the nephew and son-in-law of General Lin. His surname is Zhao, and his last name is Cong." Yan Lin had already inquired about the person clearly.
Li Yuhua asked, "What's going on with the cotton farmers who sent the cotton here now?"
"I have temporarily placed them in Zhuangzi." Yan Lin said, "This is the first crop of new cotton, and there will be cotton trucks coming later. I sent a steward over and asked them to wait. Don't be anxious.
, we signed the contract from the beginning and we will definitely receive their cotton.”
Li Yuhua thought for a while, "It doesn't do this to other merchants. It only targets our cotton truck. It can be seen that it is aimed at our family."
"I think so too." Yan Lin said, "I have thought about my business dealings in recent years several times, and I have never had any problems with anyone from the Imperial Guard. This matter happened urgently, and it belongs to General Lin."
Son-in-law, I'm afraid that this man just borrowed the cotton truck to get angry, and has other agendas, so I don't dare to delay, so I'll come over and report to the Queen first."
Li Yuhua asked, "Can the cotton in the workshop still be supplied?"
"There is still some cotton from last year, but we have built a new loom. We originally planned to increase our manpower this year, so we should wait a little longer."
"There is no need to delay the recruitment matter. I will discuss it with His Highness. The cotton truck will take three to five days, so there must be confidence."
Li Yuhua was thinking about her third brother, and she knew that she had no enmity with the Zhao family, and had nothing to do with the Lin family. Li Yuhua was not in a hurry, her third brother was a prince, and now he was in a high position, so she was afraid of these six people named Zhao.
You can’t be a good official!
Mu Anzhi didn't come back too late. He stayed with the Imperial Palace just as he did in the Yamen of the Imperial Capital. The Luo Yamen had time to take care of him. As long as there was nothing wrong with the Imperial Palace, he could come back earlier.
During meal time, Li Yuhua told Mu Anzhi about this matter and asked Mu Anzhi, "Third brother, do you recognize this person named Zhao?"
"The official is too young, has no talent and reputation, and his background is not obvious, so I don't know." Even though Mu Anzhi was not favored by Emperor Mu Xuan, the one who could make him know must at least be of Zhao Changshi's level.
, such as Captain Zhao, a sixth-grade imperial guard, has not caught Mu Anzhi's eyes.
Mu An said, "Leave this matter to me."
Li Yuhua quickly asked, "Third brother, when are you going to ask for our cotton?"
"Want it?" Mu Anzhi added some red bean soup to Li Yuhua's bowl, "What do you want?!"
Mu Anzhi did not take action personally and left the matter to Du Changshi. Du Changshi was much more familiar with the personnel affairs of the imperial capital than Mu Anzhi.
Mu Anzhi said that Du Changshi knew about this sixth-rank Zhao Cong Zhao Lieutenant.
His father had never been an official in his life, and his generation had all relied on the Lin family. Zhao Xiaowei's great-aunt was the mother of General Lin, and his aunt married General Lin. Their family was
Excellent friendship. He can serve in the Imperial Guard only because of the care of the Lin family."
Du Changshi even guessed the reason why Lieutenant Zhao dared to seize the Princess's cotton truck after eating leopards. "After all, Concubine Lin in the palace is his cousin. He has always regarded himself as the cousin of His Highness. It's like this today."
The reason for your madness is probably because His Highness tried the case of the Second Highness."
Mu Anzhi said coldly, "Second brother hasn't said anything yet. He is looking for a place for him."
"The Second Highness may not even know who he is!" Du Changshi said, "A serious member of the Lin family would not be as arrogant as him if he was serving in the Imperial Guard."
Du Changshi had an idea in his mind, "The minister will arrange this, and I guarantee that he will send the cotton cart back obediently tomorrow."
Mrs. Liang's Villa.
When Captain Zhao arrived, Mrs. Liang was having a meal. Seeing that Mrs. Liang's food was not tired of the exquisite food, Captain Zhao sat down on his own and sighed, "You are still a big sister who can eat, but this is too vegetarian.
Why don't you ask me to eat meat? How can I be a vegetarian all the time?"
"You can eat meat outside. I can't eat it here." Mrs. Liang asked him if he had eaten.
"Today is my last day on duty during the day. I will have a day off tomorrow. Later, I will change to the night shift. I just came over after handing over the errand." The implication was that before the meal was finished, Mrs. Liang ordered the maid to add more bowls and chopsticks.
The maid brought the azure plain porcelain, Captain Zhao picked up the soybean tendon with his chopsticks, and felt it was extremely delicious. He couldn't help but praise, "The plain bean tendon has such a taste."
"It's so rare and strange."
"I usually know that chicken, fish and elbow meat are delicious. It's really an eye-opener." Captain Zhao praised.
Mrs. Liang smiled and said, "Just let the cook pay more attention." She asked him again, "Why did you think of coming to my place?"
"I've thought about coming here for a long time. If I hadn't been in the Imperial Guard and didn't dare to delay at will, I would have come a long time ago." Zhao Lieutenant took two mouthfuls of pearl rice and scooped up a bowl of vegetable mixed soup. "I heard vaguely before that the eldest sister was in the forest."
Cheng has been wronged."
"Who did you listen to?" Mrs. Liang asked keenly.
Captain Zhao's lips curled up with a trace of disdain, "I have been in the Imperial Guard for a little longer than him. I grew up under the knees of my uncle and aunt since I was a child. No one in the house is as familiar with him. He always has such a face like the King of Hell.
"If my uncle hadn't been there to keep him in check, my aunt would have been afraid of offending him. Who do you think would treat him like a dish in the house?"
"I say you are really worried for nothing. You have good intentions. That person only thinks you are hiding a traitor, so why worry about such a useless thing!" Captain Zhao sneered.
Thinking of the humiliation of that day, Mrs. Liang couldn't eat the food. She frowned and poked a few grains of shiny pearl rice with her chopsticks. "I didn't know that he had a grudge, but this is indeed an excellent marriage. Your Majesty has the utmost trust."
If the Lin family can honor its master, the Lin family will definitely be able to take a step further!"
Mrs. Liang sighed, "Although it is thankless, this is about the honor of the whole family. Even if he doesn't know my feelings, only when the Lin family is well can we people have something to rely on."
"I'm afraid you are the only one who thinks this way, my eldest sister." Colonel Zhao's brows showed a hint of sinisterness, and he asked Mrs. Liang, "With the way he is now, will you be able to rely on him in the future?"
Mrs. Liang's face changed slightly, "Stop talking about this, you came here just to tell me this."
"I'm mainly here to advise you, don't go to all this trouble so stupidly. You think you are brother and sister, and you are worse than a stranger. In the final analysis, we are the closest relatives." Captain Zhao said, "Don't think that you are brother and sister.
Those irrelevant worries, I tell you, today I did something big."
"What's the matter?" Lin Cheng's indifference gradually became a worry for Mrs. Liang, mother and daughter. After all, this is the only male son born in the Lin family. In particular, Lin Cheng has won the trust of his father. Now that his father is still alive, it naturally doesn't matter.
.Whenever his father is away, Lin Cheng doesn't have to do anything else. As long as he neglects them, mother and daughter, their life will be difficult. Because of Lin Cheng's relationship, Mrs. Liang asked casually without any interest.
Captain Zhao was gearing up, "Wasn't the second prince's cousin bullied by the third prince earlier? I detained the cotton cart of the third prince's weaving workshop."
"What did you say?" Mrs. Liang's face changed drastically, and she stood up supporting the case, "You detained the third prince's cotton cart?"
"Yes, the second prince's cousin was thrown a lot of dirty water by the third prince, and he was charged with so many crimes. I heard from my aunt that he sold two Zhuangzi as compensation. Our imperial guards took over the inspection of the nearby area. If there are suspicious vehicles, we will naturally
Take it off and inspect it carefully." Colonel Zhao said matter-of-factly.
Mrs. Liang said anxiously, "You are so confused. The Second Highness is ill, and the Third Highness and his wife go there to visit every day. The Second Prince and the Third Prince are also very close, so you buckle the Third Prince's carriage. The most important thing right now is the return of His Highness."
Darling, you are disrespecting the Third Prince at this time. What if he takes his anger out on His Highness the Second? His Highness is currently serving in front of the emperor! What’s more, I heard that he is extremely unreasonable and does not give face to others. He is a prince.
, I'll just take you away and give you a slap in the face, and you'll be in vain! Why bother to offend him!"
"Isn't he very unpopular with His Majesty? I heard that he even offended the East Palace." Captain Zhao said.
"That's what happens in the year of the monkey and the month of the horse, this time and the other time!"
With Mrs. Liang urging and persuading a pros and cons analysis, Captain Zhao promised to return the cotton wagons belonging to the third prince and concubine tomorrow. However, unexpectedly, an accident occurred at night. A fire broke out at the Imperial Guard's side, and two hundred cotton wagons were taken away.
