Chen Fuyin has always been a bit of a nerd. His position as the governor of the capital of God must be related to his family background. He is a good relative of the whole family. Emperor Mu Xuan trusted the Chen family so much. In addition, Chen Fuyin was a noble person and did not care about money. Emperor Mu Xuan
He was appointed governor of the imperial capital.
You must know that this is Chen Fuyin's fifth year as the governor of the imperial capital. The reason why he was able to live peacefully in the first four years was not because of Chen Fuyin's ability, but mainly because his brother, Governor Chen of Zhili Province, knew that his brother Chen Fuyin was able to live peacefully.
Due to Fu Yin's talent and talent, he directly assigned two masters to Chen Mansion and explained to Chen Fu Yin. If you don't understand, just listen to the masters.
In this way, with the assistance of the two masters, Chen Fuyin was re-elected.
No matter how tight the fence is, it can't prevent wild dogs. The situation in the Imperial Palace is not going well this year. It has been involved in a series of cases. First, there was the case of the Charity Society, which implicated a widower and a clerk. Now there is the case of the Zhu family's property dispute, and Chen Fuyin is still unlucky.
became the defendant.
The Chen family did not get it for free. Chen Fuyin was fined and reprimanded, and he was able to safely return to the Hanlin Academy as a bachelor. Chen Fuyin has nothing left, and Chen Jian will never give up!
Chen Jian doesn't care who is fighting against whom in the Zhu family's lawsuit, but if you treat my father like a monkey, you don't take the Chen family seriously!
If Lu Xing knew that Chen Fuyin had such a son who was not easy to mess with, he would probably have thought twice before planning against the Imperial Capital.
Huayue Tower was seized that day, and all the madams, turtle slaves, girls, and maids in the building were all escorted to justice. Lu Xing Mansion is a five-entry mansion located in the back alley of Lu Guogong Mansion. Zheng Langzhong Du Changshi personally took charge and searched all the books in Lu Xing Mansion.
According to the document, people in the Yingfu must stay in the Imperial Palace and wait for the investigation by the Ministry of Punishment.
Lu Xing's wife is flattering Mrs. Lu Guogong in the Duke's Mansion. Prince Lu's big wedding will be in the twelfth lunar month. The girl chosen is a girl from the Lanhou Mansion, a member of the Queen Mother Lan's clan. She is a well-matched, talented and beautiful woman.
Mrs. Lu also attaches great importance to this marriage and is currently preparing for her son's big wedding.
While Mrs. Lu Xing was talking, a maid came in and said, "Mrs. Fifth, Mrs. Six from Back Street sent her son over and asked you to go back and have a look. The Ministry of Punishment has raided your home."
Mrs. Lu Xing was confused at the time, "What kind of house confiscation?"
This is the maid of Mrs. Lu Guogong. She is articulate and speaks clearly, "It is said that Mr. Xing has committed something. The Ministry of Punishment has already gone and surrounded the four doors of your house, including the southeast, southeast and northwest. No one is allowed in or out. I don't know what's going on now.
where."
Mrs. Lu Xing was so shocked that she didn't know why, but she raised her eyebrows and said, "Who dares to come to our Lu family and steal it? This is outrageous!"
The maid could not say anything else. Mrs. Lu Xing looked at Mrs. Lu Guogong and burst into tears. She grabbed Mrs. Lu Guogong's sleeve and begged, "Sister-in-law, you can't ignore it! We are from a small family and are not afraid of being copied.
But if my house is raided, what will the people in the imperial capital think of our Lu family!"
Mrs. Lu Guogong said to her maid, "Let Lu Zhong go out and find out what's the reason why he just ran away from home?" He stood up and patted Mrs. Lu Xing's hand holding her sleeve, "Don't worry, you and I will go see the old lady.
"
Mrs. Lu was joking with her granddaughters. The girls were sweet and charming, making Mrs. Lu laugh constantly. Mrs. Lu Guogong brought Mrs. Lu Xing in. Mrs. Lu Xing’s eyes were slightly swollen and could not be concealed.
Live anxiously.
Mrs. Lu knew something was up at the first sight and said to the girls, "Go and pick out the materials sent by the Queen this morning. See which ones you like, and just use them to make clothes."
The children also knew how to watch their actions and excused themselves one after another sensibly.
Mrs. Lu Guogong told Mrs. Lu the general matter. Mrs. Lu's face darkened and she asked Mrs. Lu Xing sternly, "Did Lu Xing do anything illegal?"
Mrs. Lu Xing said quickly, "If you don't dare, old lady, our family has always taught our clan members their duties. He definitely doesn't dare. You also know that he is a timid person. Not to mention causing trouble, he always hides when he sees something."
Yes. No, I went out early in the morning to sell medicinal materials."
"If you are upright, you are not afraid of slanting shadows! Since there is nothing wrong with the law, there is no need to be afraid." Old Madam Lu said to Mr. Lu Guogong, "After all, she is a clansman. Send a steward Sui Xing's daughter-in-law over to see what the yamen wants to investigate. Just investigate. It's necessary.
What are you looking for? Xing'er-in-law, please point it out to the officials, and don't ask them to bother. However, don't disturb the elderly and children."
Mrs. Lu Xing said gratefully, "Old lady, I'll go first. As you know, our old lady is in trouble. If I'm not at home, I'm afraid I'll scare her."
"Go ahead."
Mrs. Lu Xing hurried home. With the Duke's office there, she wasn't too worried. However, she still couldn't help but miss her husband who had gone out in a hurry in the morning.
After Mrs. Lu Xing left, Mrs. Lu Guogong looked at her mother-in-law. Mrs. Lu's face was gloomy, the wrinkles on her face were drooping, and her eyelids covered the expression in her eyes. However, both the drooping corners of her mouth and the pulled-down skin on her cheeks were calling to the old man.
people's displeasure.
Mrs. Lu Guogong did not dare to say anything. Seeing that her mother-in-law did not give any instructions, she quietly retreated.
This is a careful house raid. The Lu family is a wealthy family in the imperial capital, and the Lu family is the crown prince's wife's family. Even though this is not the Guogong's house that is being searched, it is also a member of the same family as the Guogong.
Chang Shi didn't want to get into trouble, so he restrained his subordinates before setting off, not to take anything else except books and pamphlets.
Lu Xing's study room was empty except for the shelves full of brand-new books for decoration. The drawers and wooden boxes were all empty. However, he found a dark room in the study room and entered it through the false wall. There was only one case inside, and a Bodhisattva was enshrined on it.
Lu Xing's son Lu Yun has the dignity of a noble son. "My father is a Buddhist and often meditates here."
Doctor Zheng and Du Changshi were not stupid. They knew that Lu Xing's family had prepared in advance and probably destroyed all the useful ones. Doctor Zheng's face was as dark as black iron and he ordered his men, "Search all the books."
In all the houses of the Chen family, anything with the word "" on it" will be confiscated.
Of course, except for banknotes.
Du Changshi was amazed by Zheng Changshi's ferocity, and said to himself, after all, he is the Ministry of Punishment, and he should do things professionally.
When Zheng Changshi went to the government's purchasing account and checked the bank accounts, Lu Yun's dignity as an aristocratic man was gone. He was shocked and said, "My accountant only buys every day, so I have to check it? I don't know which law it is."
Law?"
"Ling Yan is involved in a serious case. You have all read the seizure documents from the Ministry of Punishments. There is no need for me to repeat them, right?" He pushed Lu Yun away and personally directed the seizure, leaving no blind spots.
At the same time, other stores in other courtyards of the Lu family were raided.
Don't copy anything else, just the books and accounts.
When the Criminal Department left with the inspected items, Lu Yun's feet softened and he almost fell to the ground.
The inspections of Huayue Tower and Lu Xing's properties went smoothly. Chen Jian personally led the guards from the Criminal Department out of the city to pursue Lu Xing. No one came back until dark. Mu Anzhi was not worried about Chen Jian, but Tang Mo's little bastard was not.
Follow Chen Jian!
Tang Mo has never come back. Mu Anzhi is worried about Tang Mo. Not only is this his cousin, he is also the beloved son of his aunt, Princess Fengyang!
This is how to do!
Mu Anzhi discussed with Li Shangshu and increased the number of manpower for the investigation. Whether it was interrogating the Huayuelou people or checking the accounts copied from the Lu family, a large number of manpower was needed.
The Ministry of Punishment began to work overtime, and Mu Anzhi sent people to give money to the kitchen, asking them to use their housekeeping skills to prepare dinner and supper for everyone. The chef of the Punishment Department got the silver reward, but he threw his arms around and made all the officials like him.
The old man was very angry, scolding him while picking up the good rice and vegetables in the bowl, which he had always made up for before.
Doctor Xu said that Chef Zhang was unreasonable. Chef Zhang laughed and said, "How dare you not serve me wholeheartedly? But in the past, adults' meals were all set by rules. It's hard for a clever woman to make a meal without rice, right?"
It's you!
Xu Langzhong angrily chewed the fragrant elbow meat in the bowl and took another sip of the delicious and fragrant scallop soup.
Mu Anzhi also ate with everyone, but he was in his own room, and there were visitors in the room. Tang Mo's brother Tang Mu came. Tang Mu was one year older than Mu Anzhi and had always been a steady man.
In fact, before Tang Mu arrived, the steward of the Tang family had already made a visit. When he arrived at the Yamen, he did not see his young master coming back, so the chief steward became anxious and came over to inquire in person. It doesn't matter if he inquires. His young master has gone out of the city to arrest the prisoner.
return.
At that time, the steward of the Tang family was shocked. Fortunately, Mu Anzhi's reputation and bad face were quite intimidating. The steward of the Tang family hurried home to report the news, and Tang Mu came.
Mu Anzhi had no other choice. Tang Mo had already gone there, and he didn't ask Tang Mo to go. Tang Mo had to go on his own. The elbow was a bit fat, and the scallop soup was a bit fishy. Mu Anzhi saw that there was nothing to eat, so he put down his chopsticks.
First, I told Tang Mu about the general matter, "Xiaobao has a good relationship with Mr. Chen, and since he was in the Criminal Department, I think he is very willing to experience it. Cousin, don't worry too much. There will be a lot of people following you, and nothing will happen.
of."
Xiao Yi brought in a plate of fragrant honeydew melons and a plate of freshly washed peaches, followed by Xiao Fan carrying a big food box. Xiao Yi said, "The Queen said that Your Highness was busy with official duties, so she sent Xiao Yi away."
I brought dinner to His Highness. There are also four baskets of fruits for everyone to eat at night."
"Just in time." Mu Anzhi's eyes turned warm, "I'll also give my cousin some dishes and chopsticks so we can use them together." He said to Xiaofan, "Put down your things and go back. Tell the princess that I won't go back tonight. Let's go back."
She rested earlier."
Xiaofan should be respectful.
Li Yuhua sent six kinds of side dishes, namely quail crystal clams, eight-treasure wild duck, duck feet with mushrooms, jade bamboo shoots and bracken, shredded chicken and white fungus, and roasted round fish with golden legs; there are also two snacks: chestnut cake and minced meat.
Shaobing; the two soups are crab soup and milk jade stamen soup; there is also a hot pot with lamb spine stew as the base, accompanied by fresh side dishes.
Tang Mu was also a little hungry, so the two cousins talked and had dinner. Tang Mu said, "Who is so difficult to catch?"
"They are ordinary people. It's just a coincidence that they left the city early this morning. They went to arrest outside the city, but they were afraid that the prisoner would not be able to escape far, so they were not very successful."
"Okay, I'll feel relieved now that I know what's going on." How could Tang Mu not worry about his younger brother, but it was useless to talk about it at the moment, and Mu Anzhi didn't send Tang Mo there specifically.
"If my aunt complains about me, cousin, you have to tell me a few words. I never asked Tang Mo to go, but as a result, he ran away with Chen Jian on horseback as soon as he went out." Mu Anzhi said, "I used to do it.
In the palace, this young master of the Chen family is not worthy of his father."
Tang Mu couldn't help but laugh when he thought about Chen Fuyin as a person and Chen Jian, "One time I went to Chen's house and heard Chen Fuyin scolding Chen Jian. You couldn't guess what he was scolding. Chen Fuyin scolded, son.
A son who is unworthy of his father, why are you not like me?"
Mu Anzhi laughed loudly.
Tang Mu couldn't help but laugh.
Zhu family.
Zhu Wan only found out about Lu Xing's house being ransacked at night. Zhu Yue's eyes were blazing, "All the stores of Lu Xing's house were ransacked, and everything around them was not touched. All the accounts were confiscated. I sent someone to inquire, and Lu Xing's house was also raided.
Checked everything."
Even if the uncle and nephew were talking about this matter at this moment, they couldn't help but feel excited. Zhu Wan said, "I will go to Uncle Shan Clan, ask him to go to the prison, and persuade Brother Chengsong Clan to confess everything. At this time, I will confess,
Brother Song's crime can be lighter. Lu Xing's crime is more solid."
Thinking of what the father and son had done, Zhu Yue couldn't help but snorted coldly, "Uncle, even if you are thinking about them, they can't help but say this is our fake mercy."
"After all, they are from the same clan. The clan uncle took the initiative to place his members in the trading house."
"He was afraid that he would not be able to protect himself at the time. No matter how stupid he was, he knew that we would not covet his share for the sake of reputation in the clan. If he really believed the lies of the two old ghosts Pan and Tan and gave his share to them, then he would
It's like a chicken flying over an egg. It's not a favor, he understands it himself."
"You have such an unforgiving mouth." Zhu Wan said, "Come with me and put on a better face. Whether it's fake mercy or something else, the same clan is the same clan. If there is a sinner like Brother Chengsong in the clan, his children and grandchildren will be the same in the future.
The imperial examination is not easy. There is still an opportunity to reduce your crime, so don’t miss it."
Zhu Yue's words were like sharp blades, and he had a domineering spirit. After all, he didn't get the job done right. He put on a thick material cloak and went to Zhu Shunshan's house with his uncle.
