Jia She, Chief Assistant of the Red Chamber

Jia Amnesty felt a lingering depression in his chest, but even if he abandoned his old grudges and took on the duties of an official (probably his little master Cui was considerate of him and asked him to comfort him, and he did not see the autopsy at the scene), he could There is still too little ink in my stomach, and the words of consolation are repeated over and over again, leaving only the word "sorry".He was not afraid of people crying, but he was afraid of old people, especially those with pale hair, pale complexion, and blood-red eyes that still held tears.

The silent scream made his eyes turn red.

Qingbei Academy currently has three vice-principals. Vice-principal Li is in charge of general affairs, Vice-principal Zheng is responsible for recruiting and recruiting teachers, and Vice-principal Wang and Xu Shan are in charge of teaching.

The one in front of him is Deputy Mountain Chief Wang.

Wang Fushanchang, named Xiao, is seventy-three this year, and was a bachelor of the Imperial Academy before he became an official.Because the great-grandson of the family has grown up and has no one to play with, he was invited to come to the academy to be his master.Mrs. Wang is a man of high morals and prestige. She has taught and educated people all her life, and she is as sincere as she is praised.

At the time of the incident, he was tutoring students with Xu Shanchang in the Ming Auditorium.It can be said that he witnessed this tragedy with his own eyes.It was also he who dissuaded the angry students when the police arrived so that the Yamen could investigate and collect evidence.

"Old man..." Wang Shanchang's voice was choked, panting, trembling all over.

"Old Wang, I'm so angry, it's okay for you to scold me a few times. It's not worth it for me to be angry with a black heart." Jia She looked at Deputy Shanzhang Wang who was trembling and about to faint, and raised his hand to gently pat Rubbing the man's back, helping him out, he glanced at the servants on the left and right, and motioned him to hurry up and see where the imperial doctor was.The old man held on until Cui Yu arrived, almost out of breath, and fell to the ground directly.

The assassination of Xu Shanchang has already happened, if the old man is also angry because of this, it is not worth it.

Although there are doctors sitting in the academy, they are not as good as the imperial physician after all.

Besides, who knows whether the doctors in the academy are trustworthy or not?He, Jia She, doesn't mind trying to think the worst about everyone in the academy.If something happens to the old king, all the descendants of the Wang family in the court will be worried.

Although Lao Wang himself, in terms of official position, is only a third-rank Hanlin bachelor, he didn't even get a bachelor in charge of the academy.But his eldest son is a minister of the Ministry of Rites, his second son is also a Hanlin scholar, and although his third son is unofficial, he is the champion of the county, and his descendants are also accomplished.This family was one of the courtiers that his emperor's uncle relied heavily on.

"As for being sad..." Jia She turned the tip of his tongue and said, "If Xu Shanchang had a spirit in heaven, he wouldn't want you to break your own bones because of his grief."

"The sky is so unfair!" Wang Shanchang took a sip of the ginseng soup, seemed to regain his senses, and said, "I, a white-haired man, haven't left yet, how can Yan Hui, who is so young, leave as soon as he says so. Yan Hui is such an amazing, talented and unparalleled character, from a young age..."

Jia Amnesty recited "Everyone is dead" silently, and listened to Xu Shanzhang's life with a stiff face, and waited until the Wang family's children and the imperial physician rushed over, then nodded and walked out of the inner room to the scene of the crime , I want to ask about the specific incident.

Unexpectedly, the atmosphere in the Ming Auditorium now has a murderous atmosphere.In addition to the personnel of Shuntian Mansion, the personnel of the Criminal Department are also there.

Jia Amnesty nodded, seeing Zhong Xing, the servant of the Ministry of Punishment who came to take charge, he obediently stood beside Cui Yu.

Cui Yu nodded to Jia She, without saying a word, and looked at Xu Shanzhang, who was now a corpse, silently.Xu Shanchang is very young, thirty and six, in his prime of life. Since taking over the academy 13 years ago, he has been obsessed with education.Moreover, he does not stick to the teachings of the sages, he led the promotion, and opened many private schools in the countryside, specializing in practical skills such as arithmetic, so that ordinary people can understand basic clerical contracts.It also has a very high reputation among the people.Nowadays, a dagger is pierced through the chest of a person, and he is killed with a single knife. The method is very sophisticated.

And the criminal suspect Zheng Chengguang, whose face was bruised and swollen like a pig's head, was quickly suppressed by the arrest.Cui Yu lowered his head and glanced at Zheng Chengguang's hands. Although they were a little bruised, he could tell that they were a pair of standard scholar's hands.This hand can actually stab the heart.After being tested by Wu, after being stabbed, he twisted the dagger backhand, causing the blood to rupture, completely cutting off the possibility of Xu Shanchang's rescue.

This is definitely not something that can be done on a whim.

But Zheng Chengguang's confession over and over was just this sentence - he was ridiculed for failing the exam, his family was destitute, and even his children were pawned.

There must be a mastermind behind this assassination.

Cui Yu clenched his fist tightly.This is the point of difference between him and the Criminal Ministry.The Ministry of Criminal Justice meant to calm down the matter, close the case as soon as possible, and execute Zheng Chengguang as a warning to others, so as not to expand the situation, or be used by those who want to get out of control and get out of control.But if the case is appeased, will anyone be able to follow suit?Throwing out a scapegoat will solve everything completely and get away with it.

Seeing Cui Yu's expressionless expression, Zhong Shilang's expression darkened.He also persuaded Cui Yu with good intentions, but unexpectedly, this is really an elm lump.Do you really think of yourself as a blue sky?It is impossible to think about this kind of thing without an instigation behind it.But the problem is, there are so many princes and grandchildren, and when they are all screened, the day lily will be cold.The most important thing is to suppress it, not to let the behind-the-scenes, behind-the-scenes, and hands take the opportunity to make trouble, and cut off the possibility of gaining benefits.

"Lord Cui, Lord Jia, can you take a moment to speak?" Zhong Shilang heard a few words from the yamen of the Criminal Ministry in a low voice, and immediately couldn't sit still, and said: "This case has occurred in the jurisdiction, and you and I are the ones who worked together." While collaborating."

"Zhong Shilang, that's exactly what you said. You were earlier." Jia She rolled his eyes around the two of them, stretched out his hand and pulled Cui Yu's sleeve, and whispered in his ear: "The people from the Ministry of Rites are here. Boss, you If you want to conduct a thorough investigation, you must first firmly grasp the right to investigate the case. If this case is manipulated and turned into a joint trial by the three divisions, you will not be able to control the outcome. Although Mr. Zhong is a bit tactful, he It’s Lao Cao’s apprentice, so there are still two hands in judging the case.”

After finishing speaking, Jia She paused, and pointed to the east, indicating that it was the Emperor's man.

Nowadays, apart from the Ministry of Households (the money bag, which is firmly controlled by Emperor Taixing) and the Ministry of Punishment (the uncle Cao Guo represents the family of the three emperors and empresses and occupies the territory), the other four departments all have princes.

Originally the most powerful person in the Ministry of War was the third prince, but he was circled, and now several princes jumped up and down to send people into the Ministry of War, but even if they entered the Ministry of War, they were still bare-bones.After his father left, the three major defenders of the capital were all under the control of King Xiping (this was known by his rebirth).As for the confidant generals of Emperor Taixing who were stationed in the border towns.

Nowadays, the most intense competition is the Ministry of Officials.Using his rebirth experience to deduce...

Jia Amnesty couldn't help but tapped the fan handle on his forehead.Back then, he stayed out of the matter, and only knew—wow, black, there are new products on the market, go and find out who's stuff, if there is no incense left, it won't cause trouble, my lord, I will take it home.

How did the princes fight, the rain of swords, lights and swords in the court, the bloody wind, really didn't affect him much.Of course, maybe, maybe, probably, it's probably because he skipped too many court meetings, and he couldn't understand people's words without a half-month summary.

Of course, to tell the truth in secret, there are too many sons of the emperor's uncle, fifteen in order, and twelve who survived and became adults.Really... Otherwise, one person will get it for a month.

In his previous life, he didn't even recognize the face of the prince.After all, at the beginning, he was the Duke and Young Master of the state. Relying on his father, he might be more favored by the emperor than some princes, but later on he was in a daze and didn't care about things. Why did he get to know the prince?

Jia Amnesty stopped taking stock of the situation in the court, and tugged at Cui Yu's sleeves.

Cui Yu fixed his eyes on Jia She, and pointed out the door helplessly. When Jia She was suddenly inexplicably dazed, officials from the Ministry of Rites had already arrived in front of the courtyard.

Zhong Xing in the inner room obviously also received the news, and glanced back at Cui Yu.

Cui Yu nodded, expressing his agreement with the outside world first.

"My lords, according to investigations, apart from the lords of the Ministry of Rites, Dali Temple is also here."

Everyone in the house: "..."

Jia Amnesty scratched his head. If he remembered correctly, the Ministry of Criminal Justice was in charge of the trial, so it made sense to fight the case. Dali Temple was responsible for reviewing the case, so why did you come here?Will the Inspectorate come to intervene later, saying that he has the right to supervise?

Really, what are you doing so actively?

I usually shirk, shirk!

It's too early to be unprofitable!

Jia She was so angry that he was going to explode, seeing all the people coming to greet each other in an official tone, each with their own plans, he sneered mentally.Unless the emperor's uncle speaks out, the successor is also innocent, otherwise whoever dares to take the position of the head of Qingbei Academy, he, Jia Amnesty, destroyed Qingbei Academy!

The hills and land for the expansion of Qingbei Academy were robbed by the Jia family.Later, the two families fell out, and the old man of the Wen family gave Jia Zhen all the documents and contracts of Qingbei Academy.

With the land deed and house deed in hand, who dares to say a word is wrong to change it into Jia's pig farm?

=====

Jia Shen's mental calculations were crackling, and the three departments with judicial functions here held their own opinions. The Minister of Rites was worried about his father and knew about this appalling incident. Fearing that the night would be long and dreamy, he honestly went to the palace overnight to ask Emperor Taixing to see him.

Emperor Taixing was silent.

Although Shang Shu of the Ministry of Rites spoke tactfully, he could still understand the meaning behind the words.

First: The Ministry of Criminal Justice reluctantly said that it was responsible, and that Dali Temple had crossed the line by coming uninvited.The three departments of Shuntian Mansion, Ministry of Criminal Justice and Dali Temple have quite different opinions on whether to close the case.Shuntian Mansion advocates following the vine to find out, check!Dali Temple stated that the three divisions should conduct a joint trial to set an example.The Ministry of Punishment refused the joint trial of the three divisions, but also refused to follow the vine, saying that the case should be closed as soon as possible, with An Shilin's heart.

Second: Now Qingbei Academy has no leader.Xu Shanchang has no sons or direct disciples, who should inherit this huge academy.Li and Zheng, the two deputy mountain chiefs, expressed their willingness to share their concerns.Wang Shanchang, the most virtuous teacher, is seriously ill.

Third: The Minister of Rites also made a personal suggestion, saying that the emperor can choose a new minister.I'm afraid his father can't make it through, he wants Ding You.

As time passed bit by bit, Wang Mo, Minister of the Ministry of Rites, felt his official uniform soaked in cold sweat from behind after the report.It is early summer now, and the weather is getting hotter and hotter, but the situation in the court hall is as cold as ice, and if he is not careful, he is blown to the ground by the icy cold wind.

"Wang Aiqing," Emperor Taixing said in a deep voice after being silent for an unknown amount of time, "Prepare an imperial decree for me."

After finishing speaking, Emperor Taixing seemed to have made up his mind, and paused every word: "Restore the imperial decree of the crown prince."

Hearing this, Wang Mo's feet were weak, and he fell to the ground directly: "Emperor... Your Majesty..." From ancient times to the present, there has never been a waste and a new one!

"Aiqing heard it right, restore Situ Yu as the crown prince!" Emperor Taixing clapped the case and said loudly.
