Mu Anzhi returned to the Ministry of Punishment to convey Emperor Mu Xuan's wishes. Cheng Shilang said, "I will write the book now."
Mu Anzhi ordered, "Your Majesty, Wei Han is old and allows his family members to serve in the prison."
"Yes." Cheng Shilang asked, "Your Highness, is there a limit on the number of people?"
"Just let one go. It's not like there is any merit, why should we still offer it?" Mu Anzhi hated the Wei family very much.
"Yes." Cheng Shilang knew what to do.
After Minister Cheng retired, Mu Anzhi summoned Du Changshi and told him the prince's idea.
It's a good idea, but Dong Gong is not a friend.
Du Changshi said, "When the candidates are arranged, Your Highness will go into the palace and report to Your Majesty. For the rest, Your Highness will ask to see if Your Majesty intends to have the imperial guards guard Wei Han, so that we will not be the first and last of us."
"I think that although His Majesty has some old feelings for the Wei family, he doesn't care much about Wei Han." Mu Anzhi picked up the remaining tea at hand and poured some water on the small pot of roses on the table, "The prince will not be so kind suddenly, but
, he came up with the idea himself, if it’s really a scam, he can’t escape his involvement.”
"But why does the prince want to help his highness?" His highness had fought openly and openly for the reserve position in the past, and he had never been on good terms with his employer.
"Maybe for the spiders."
Du Changshi didn't understand the meaning of Mu Anzhi's words, but Mu Anzhi obviously didn't want to explain more, so he asked Du Changshi, "How are the people in the gambling house doing the investigation? Parents, family, relatives and friends? Someone can be killed.
Could they kill everyone who knows them?"
"Would it be possible to alert the enemy?"
"It's best if you can scare the snake, but it doesn't matter if you don't." Mu Anzhi's heart skipped a beat, and he suddenly understood why the prince intervened in the Wei family case.
right.
That's what he said, the Wei family is the general's mansion after all.
If even a general can be plotted in this way, the person behind it must be so terrifying.
What is the person behind this going to do?
The insidious villain of the prince would not have thought of this.
Mu Anzhi looked at Du Changshi, "Is that Bai Zhaodong unreliable?"
Du Changshi, "Since he returned to the imperial capital, Marquis Feng has sent people to keep an eye on him twelve hours a day. If there is anything wrong at all, he will be sent to prison immediately to face the lawsuit."
Mu Anzhi was silent for a moment, then said, "Forget it, let's not worry about this matter for now. However, if Wei Han is not really old and foolish, the person he wants to see should be Bai Zhaodong, not the descendants next to him.
."
Du Changshi also deeply agreed. The fact that the Wei family recruited General Wei to carry the vat was chilling enough. What's more, even if General Wei didn't care, he was meeting his most useful son at this time.
Seeing that Mu Anzhi had no other instructions, Du Changshi stood up and said, "Then let me allocate more manpower to speed up the investigation of the gambling house."
Mou An's jaw.
Du Changshi was extremely smart and dispatched more men than usual for murder cases, but he did so without too much fanfare and managed the momentum just right.
When I came home in the evening, I saw the maid holding a box of pens and ink, and asked with a smile, "What is this?"
Li Yuhua took off his official robe and changed into Changhu blue clothes. He said at the same time, "This is the year of the competition, and all the candidates will be admitted to the Jinshi. A Yue's uncle Zhu Wan and Zhu Juren also ended up this year.
.Ayue has already paid homage to Manjushri Bodhisattva in the imperial capital, so sending her some pen and ink is also a good sign."
Mu Anzhi even came over to help pick it out.
Tang Mo also borrowed Chen Jian's ancestral imperial examination fortune card from his family. Chen Jian took it in his hand and looked at it carefully. It was rectangular in shape with rounded corners. There was a rounded perforation at the top with mysterious runes engraved on it. Chen Jian said, "I heard it before.
The elders in the family mentioned that your family has the imperial examination talisman gifted by He Xiaoxian'er back then, and it turns out it is real."
At a glance, you can tell that this jade is old. The quality of the jade is ordinary, but it has an ancient and clumsy feel.
"I also made offerings to you for three days in front of the gods and ancestors. It will definitely enhance your luck and ensure that you win the top prize." Tang Mo boasted to Haikou.
This jade plaque has some origins. It is said that the He family, an aunt from the ancestor of Jiang Xun's wife He, had some magical powers. At that time, the He family started their business and had four Jinshi in their family. It was a good talk among the officials. It is said that the He family could win the prize.
The reason for these Jinshi is that He Xiaoxian'er, the hero, had to make a jade plaque for his younger brothers to wear when they were taking their scientific examinations. Anyone wearing this plaque would have extraordinary luck in the examination, and their writing would be three points better than usual.
However, these are just rumors, after all, they happened more than a hundred years ago.
Tang Mo said, "Yes, this is what He Xiaoxian'er gave to my great-great-grandfather. My grandfather wore it during the scientific examination. As expected, it worked every time. My father and brother have used it. This time, A-Jian, you are going to take the Jinshi exam."
, let you wear it."
"This is too valuable." Chen Jian was very moved, thinking that Xiaobao was so silly that he had taken out the treasure in the family. If you are picky about others, you are afraid that you will borrow their luck.
"Just use it. In fact, some brothers and elders from the branch have used it for the imperial examination. It's very effective." Tang Mo was about to tie it around Chen Jian's waist.
Chen Jian waved his hand and did not give him the jade tablet, "Isn't this meant to borrow your family's luck?"
"Oh, what are you thinking about?" Tang Mo patted him on the shoulder, "My third uncle also borrowed it to take the scholar exam and failed three times. He could barely read the Analects of Confucius.
, I just want to use this jade tablet to bless my fortune, is it possible to win? To say that it can bless my fortune also means that a person with good knowledge will help the fortune. If you want to be knowledgeable, it is like a piece of shit. Even if my ancestors are resurrected, they will not be able to win.
."
"You don't know, my third uncle failed the scholar exam for three consecutive years, and my grandmother also said that my family's jade medal was not effective. As a result, my brother Chunwei passed the exam in the first exam," Tang Mo said.
Chen Jian said, "Why didn't I see you wearing it when you were taking the scholar exam?"
"My family usually only uses it in the spring period. My brother doesn't use it in the scholar examination or the civil examination. If you wear a jade plaque for the first two subjects, you will be psychologically dependent. This jade plaque is like the icing on the cake.
Just get a piece of brocade yourself first, and then add some more support. Like my third uncle, a scholar can use it when he tries it, and he is the only example in my family." Tang Mo said, "Luck is for both sides. Ajian, you are knowledgeable, wear this jade medal, and the jade medal will be good for you.
The cards can also be imbued with your literary spirit, and I will definitely be very clever when I use them next time."
Since the Tang family had immortals, Tang Mo was very tolerant in this aspect.
Chen Jian asked, "Isn't there anyone in your family who is born in spring?"
"If we don't have a clan, we don't know if we split up. What kind of friendship do we have? Do I want to give a jade plaque to a stranger named Tang?" The Tang family is a large family, but there are rules in the clan, and clans must be divided after the tenth generation.
Separately established, now the Prince Consort of the Tang Dynasty is the head of the clan, and the branches that branch out are called branch families, and the branch families have their own clan heads.
Tang Mo took the jade plaque from Chen Jian's hand and tied it around his waist.
After seeing the jade plaque, Mrs. Chen put her hands together and said Buddha several times toward the west. She praised Tang Mo for half an hour for being kind, considerate, good-looking, good-looking, and kind-hearted. Mrs. Chen also said, "That means I don't have a good heart."
Daughter, if I want to have a daughter, I will recruit a son-in-law like A Mo for my daughter."
Chen Jian thought to himself, his mother is quite discerning.
After Chen Hanlin found out about it, although he had never believed in ghosts and gods, he did not say anything disappointing about the strange powers and deranged gods. Instead, he secretly chanted "Buddha" several times in his heart, praying to the gods and Buddhas to bless his son's scientific examination.
Nowadays, the Chunwei candidates, the civil and military officials of the Manchu Dynasty, are most concerned about the list of Chunwei's chief and deputy examiners.
Except Mu Anzhi.
Du Changshi came over to report, "My predecessor, Mr. Cheng, sent someone to the Wei family and said that he could send someone to serve the old general in the prison. Mrs. Wei went there. When the old general Wei saw it, he asked what was going on, so he sent Mr. Wei.
When I go back, I won't let the old lady serve me. I asked Mr. Cheng if he could change someone. If he can't change, he himself will be fine. Today, Bai Zhaodong will go in."
"Why did you go today? Shilang Cheng will not delay on such a matter." Mu Anzhi asked.
"My predecessor, Bai Zhaodong, went to Tongzhou and came back this morning." Du Changshi said, "As His Highness expected, my predecessor's search for Bai Zhaodong failed, so Cheng Shilang asked the old general if he could change someone else. The old general didn't want to see him again except Bai Zhaodong.
Others from the Wei family."
Mu Anzhi asked, "Have the guards been changed?"
"No, he's still the same person."
When Mu Anzhi entered the palace to hand over the details of the Wei family case, he also told Emperor Mu Xuan about Bai Zhaodong going in to serve. Emperor Mu Xuan nodded and indicated that he understood.
The prince was a little puzzled, "Does the Wei family have any relatives named Bai?"
Emperor Mu Xuan knew this very well, "Wei Han's ridiculous incident when he was young is also his own blood. This child has a conscience and returned to the imperial capital as soon as he received the letter."
A trace of emotion flashed in Mu Anzhi's eyes. Emperor Mu Xuan rarely left the palace, so he knew the old affairs of the Wei family very well, but Bai Zhaodong was also so clear about the matter of returning to the imperial capital after receiving the letter!
The prince said, "Since you are the flesh and blood of the Wei family, why is your surname Bai?"
"My biological mother was humble and couldn't enter the family tree, so she took her mother's surname." Emperor Mu Xuan hummed, "I think the Wei family is full of descendants, but this white boy is still a bit cool." He folded the fold and handed it to the prince, "After reading it,
Later, it was handed over to the Shizhao Office to draw up the decree according to the Zhezi. In addition, although Wei Sheng had no obvious culpability, he was careless in his position as an official.
Mu Anzhi was a little surprised. Wei Sheng was really the cleanest person chosen by the Wei family. It was obvious that the person the Wei family wanted to protect was Wei Sheng, but Emperor Mu Xuan named Wei Sheng to be removed from the official position. But it was not surprising. If Emperor Mu Xuan continued to
Bai Zhaodong knew that he had received the letter from the Wei family and returned to the imperial capital. Therefore, Emperor Mu Xuan's knowledge of the Wei family case might be beyond his imagination.
Seeing that Emperor Mu Xuan had no other instructions, Mu Anzhi withdrew.
Prison.
Wei Han was previously a second-rank official, and Emperor Mu Xuan specifically asked not to treat him harshly, so the Ministry of Punishment gave Wei Han a clean cell, with two cells inside and outside. It was a first-class cell in the Ministry of Punishment prison.
The water was a little cold, so Bai Zhaodong got down on his knees, wrapped Wei Han's feet in the warm water with a soft cloth and wiped them dry, then pulled open the silk quilt and helped Wei Han sleep.
Bai Zhaodong went out and poured the water before starting to wash himself.
After washing up, Bai Zhaodong went in with the mat in his arms, and Wei Han said, "Come to the bed. It's so cold that you'll get sick if you sleep on the floor."
Bai Zhaodong didn't force it, but said, "Do you feel crowded?"
"It's better to squeeze in a little, it will keep you warm." Wei Han said.
Bai Zhaodong placed the bedding on the outside of the bed so that he could take care of Wei Han at night.
Wei Han felt the warmth of Tang Pozi under his feet. He had put it in early in the morning, and the quilt was warm when he slept. It was so comfortable in such a cold night. It reminded him of the cold nights when he was a child, and how his mother would always put her in bed.
With such a Yubazi under the quilt, no matter how cold the night is, you can have a good night's sleep.
However, he is no longer an innocent boy.
Wei Han looked at the deep and dark cell roof and said softly, "The Wei family's status can no longer help you, so why did you agree to come here?"
Bai Zhaodong, "Didn't you ask me to come?"
"To marry Miss Feng?" Wei Han asked.
"Half." Bai Zhaodong did not deny it, "You know, I have never taken a fancy to the Wei family's identity, but I need a good reputation."
"Where's the other half?" Wei Han couldn't guess.
Under the dim butter lamp, Bai Zhaodong looked at Wei Han's old face, "I heard that there were many people who fell in love with my mother back then, including dignitaries and handsome men. I still can't figure out why my mother fell in love with you. Back then, you had neither
He is a great general, but his appearance is not top-notch."
Wei Han burst out laughing.
The jailers who were on duty outside were all attracted by the laughter and looked inside a few times. They thought to themselves, it is different to have a son serving him. He can be so happy even in prison.
