Chapter 24 Hurricane (2)
I have personally escorted Hu Dong to Yingtian Prefecture.
In Kunning Palace, Zhao Sili bowed slightly and talked to Zhao Ning'er through the curtain of Taoism.
Even if you are biological father and daughter, it is a difference between heaven and earth after entering the palace, and etiquette and law are so unforeseeable.
The harem is not allowed to interfere in politics! Zhao Ning'er held Liujin and said softly behind the curtain that my father should report these things to the crown prince rather than me.
I came to tell you, because I wanted to make the Empress feel at ease! Zhao Sili said, although this incident has nothing to do with the Zhao family, he was relying on the name of the Zhao family. Therefore, I will definitely restrain my relatives in the future, act more cautiously, and be a low-key person!
Zhao Ning'er paused slightly. I am very pleased that my father could think of these things. Our family is different now. Seeing that it has become so prosperous, I don't know how many people are waiting to see jokes in the dark. You and your mother are both unpretentious. Just live your own life in the closed door and ignore others. Relatives who are not close to each other can be seen, so you can't see them if you can!
Speaking of this, Zhao Ning'er pondered that you caught someone in the Luo family, and the Luo family.........
Zhao Sili hesitated for a moment. After all, the wife of the Luo family was the eldest sister's mother-in-law. Whether the court would be responsible for any crimes or not!
Father is confused! Zhao Ning'er's tone suddenly became stern. It was obviously the crime of hiding and covering up, so why didn't his father arrest him? If you keep such a person who does not distinguish right from wrong, it will be even more harmful to the future. Maybe in the future, it will implicate his brother-in-law and the eldest sister. In the end, it will implicate our Zhao family!
But after all, she...
Father doesn't need to worry about it. Since you haven't caught it, I will make it clear to Your Highness! Zhao Ning'er slowly put down six pounds, picked up the curtain and came out from behind, and waved his hand to let the surrounding palace servants retreat from a distance, whispering, "Father, it's not that my daughter is cruel and ignoring the affection of relatives." The Zhao family and the daughter both prosper and lose both. Now this matter has nothing to do with the Zhao family. What if something happens next?"
Look at your grandson Liujin, although he is the eldest son of His Highness, his mother's family is neither a rank-level official nor a founding noble and military minister. A family like us will not be able to help him at all in the future, and we will rely on him!
And if our family makes a joke, his face will not look good!
When he grew up, he didn't want to see a mother clan who was greedy for fame and fortune!
Zhao Sili looked at her daughter a little strangely, feeling bitter in her heart. What you mean?
The Luo family is a troublemaker! When we were poor and humble, we shouted and shouted. Now we even indulged our nephew to do whatever he wanted under the banner of our family. It would be better if we didn’t want such a relative, but if we could, we would break it!
I will go back and ask your elder sister what she means! Zhao Sili wants to speak but stops. In fact, your brother-in-law is pretty good......
If he was really good, he should have just raised his cousin's head to Yingtian Mansion instead of asking his wife to go back to his parents' home to complain! Zhao Ning'er said hatefully, how could he not know about a man's family? When the matter comes, he still wants the Yue family to help him wipe his butt. I don't know if he should have said that he is not responsible or too scheming!
Suddenly, Zhao Sili felt that he and his daughter were not just strangers, but people from two worlds.
~~
In the Ministry of Justice Prison, Chen Dewen sat on the ground in the cell. His official clothes had been taken off, leaving only his white clothes on his body, and his face was full of misery.
A few days ago, he was still imagining that he was doing great things in the capital and doing good things that were beneficial to the people's livelihood. But in an instant, he himself was imprisoned.
Especially when Chen Dewen thinks about the current emperor's methods of treating criminal officials and his wife and children at home, he shudders.
I have been studying hard for more than ten years, but I can’t even protect myself until today.
A creak, and a door sounded behind him.
Chen Dewen turned around in surprise, and in shock, he turned over and knelt down. The criminal minister bowed to His Royal Highness the Grand Prince!
Zhu Yunyu slowly came in from outside with a few guards. One of the guards put a low table on the ground and placed some wine and food.
Look at you alone! Zhu Yunxiu sat down on the stool that the guards put down and said softly.
Your Highness! In an instant, Chen Dewen cried out, saying that I have beentrayed the holy grace!
There are many officials in the world who are carrying orphans, and you are not the only one! Zhu Yunxiu signaled the guards to pour wine and continued to speak, "You have been in prison these days, but can you figure out how to fall into the field like today?"
Chen Dewen wiped away his tears and choked and said, "I don't know what I know, I don't use people properly, and I'm eager for quick success and instant benefits."
You! Zhu Yunxi sighed and said with a wry smile, but he still didn't understand the key, the key is that you are not down-to-earth enough! To be fair, although you haven't known each other for a long time, you dare to be mindful only if you like me very much. But you have never been an official at the bottom, you don't know that people's hearts are sinister, and you are a little indecisive, so you have today's disaster!
Chen Dewen was sad again and couldn't help but lose his voice. I am indeed a little ambitious!
I hope it will be a lesson for you! Zhu Yunxi continued, Hu Dong's guy has been arrested, all 72 criminals involved were arrested, including your Master Qin. On that day, Hu Dong left his relationship and gave him five hundred silver dollars in exchange for saying good things in front of you! Grandpa, the emperor, skinned and used as a warning to others!
When it came to Master Qin, a huge sense of hatred surged in Chen Dewen's eyes.
But when it comes to peeling and filling grass, his body trembles uncontrollably.
There is nothing else, the laws of the Ming Dynasty are too harsh. It should be noted that in Yingtian Mansion, there is still Pi Ruzi, the man who served as the Chief Secretary.
In fact, not only Master Qin and Hu Dong are about to die, but the people involved in the case are almost no living. Those gangsters who are accomplices of tigers are punished after being arrested in prison. All the things that have been bullying the people, cheating, and secretly slandering people in recent years have been poured out.
Even those bad-hearted officials in Yingtian Mansion also stole some of the years-long cases on them.
Even if some of these people survive, they will still be sent to the border to build the Great Wall, either dying of illness or being exhausted.
Fortunately, in Hu Dong's case, it was not found that the officials had committed illegitimate fraud and had not committed bribery. Otherwise, the officials of Yingtian Prefecture would be cut off by the old man like leeks.
Everyone knows the reason why Hu Dong dares to do this. With the care of Yingtian Prefecture, the upper and lower levels will naturally be unobstructed.
Chen Dewen looked at the wine glass in front of him and said tremblingly, "I, thank you, the palace down, see me off!" As he said that, he picked it up tremblingly, hesitating whether to drink it.
I'm going to see you off? What official position is you, and I'm going to give you my own gift! Zhu Yunxi smiled and said, "Drink, it's not poisonous!"
Then, in the surprise of the other party, he continued to say, "I have pleaded for you in front of Grandpa the Emperor." Although this case is bad, it is not irreversible. You have always had a good reputation in official positions, and this time I have been implicated.
A strong surprise appeared in Chen Dewen's eyes.
However, death penalty can be avoided, and living penalty cannot be spared! Zhu Yunxi continued, once you get the official position to the end, you will be sent back to the Guangzhou Taxation Department to be a customs tax collector!
I am grateful to Lord for your kindness! Chen Dewen cried and kowtowed.
Don’t thank you first! Zhu Yunxi waved his hand, and the guards retreated silently. Gu Bao, you can see how much you have to learn. After arriving at the customs, everything will be reported in every detail! As he said that, Zhu Yunxi suddenly frowned. During the Song Dynasty, the customs duties of Guangzhou Customs still had 480,000 yuan a year. How come it decreased year by Ming Dynasty? It was less than 120,000 yuan last year. You are from Guangdong and are proficient in economy. Go and see what’s going on and then report it carefully!
Chen Dewen was stunned. He had just died, but he unexpectedly had such an errand sent to such a job.
I will do my best, but... Chen Dewen hesitated and said, "How can I reach the heavenly hearing, just a small official?"
With a click, a ball of Jinyiwei's waist sign fell at Chen Dewen's feet.
When he arrived in Guangzhou, he would use this waist-baring card to find Qianhu, the Guangzhou Fushishi Qianhu. After that, Zhu Yunyu got up and left. Remember, this is your last chance. If you do it well, you will have a chance to achieve great things in the future. If you don’t do it well, you will never be able to return to the capital in this life!

After leaving the dark prison of the Ministry of Justice, I felt the hot sunshine in midsummer.
Your Highness returned to the palace? The turtle asked.
Let's go back, I'm exhausted! Zhu Yunxiu got into the carriage.
As soon as he sat down, he couldn't help but rub his tired temples.
It is still unclear who will be commanded by the Jinghai Army. The position of Yingtian Prefecture in the capital was once again vacant.
The land acquisition in the outer city of the capital has to continue, and all kinds of things make people feel overwhelmed.
But these things must be left behind. The most urgent thing now is to do weddings.
Chapter completed!
