Chapter 207 Nineteen Five
With the news that Li Yuhua got from Empress Dowager Lan, Mu Anzhi was in charge of the Ministry of Justice, and it was easier to ask about the Cheng family’s case back then.
Both Zheng and Xu have been in the Ministry of Justice for many years.
The case was more clearly known by the Langzhong Zheng. "The officials remembered that they had seen records of the Cheng family's case in the Ministry of Justice. The Cheng family was in charge of the Xuanjia Guard. Because of the assassination of the late emperor, the Xuanjia Guard was responsible for the protection of the late emperor. The Cheng family was questioned for the crime. The house was convicted at that time. The house was confiscated at that time. Several males in the family were in charge of the case. Most of the males were killed or passed away. Some female family members were also involved in the case and sentenced according to the law."
Only those like Doctor Zheng who never likes Shangguan’s face can say so openly and straightforwardly. Mu Anzhi nodded and said nothing more.
This matter has been revealed, and the intersection between Mu Anzhi and Lin Cheng is only here.
Originally, Mu Anzhi thought so.
After Emperor Mu Xuan gave Princess Jiayue marriage, the palace began to prepare for Princess Jiayue's marriage from the auspicious day of the imperial monitoring. One month later, it was the Qianqiu of Empress Dowager Lan. Li Yuhua was preparing to give Queen Mother Lan a birthday gift, and Mu Anzhi also began to take over the private salt case in Shu.
Li Yuhua returned to his villa from Yongshouke. Mei Dianbu ran over and reported, "Shen Guanjun came in the morning. Empress, the convoy for transporting cotton for our family was blocked on the official road."
"What's going on? You haven't come to see it in the mansion?" Li Yuhua paused and looked at Mei Dianbu.
Mei Dianbu cried and pointed at his right face, which had already swelled and could see a faint palm print. "The little one went, and the imperial guards on the road were very domineering. Before the villain could finish his words, he slapped the villain half fainted, and the cotton cart also asked them to detent it."
Li Yuhua immediately turned dark and asked him, "Didn't you say you are an official in the Third Prince's Mansion?"
"I'll tell you. The one who detained the car was the sixth-rank captain of the Imperial Guard, who was fourth-rank higher than the Imperial Guard." Mei Dianbu said, "The contract we had with the cotton household was for them to transport cotton to our workshop. They had no choice but to find Yan Guanjun. Yan Guanjun went over to discuss the situation and came to the mansion. The little one originally wanted to clear the first and second, but he didn't want the Imperial Guard to be very domineering. The little one really had no choice. The empress would see if she would wait for His Highness to come back to write a warrant."
Mei Dianbu explained the causes and consequences, and Li Yuhua said, "Let Yan Lin come over to see me."
Mei Dianbu went down to pass the message.
Yan Lin now manages the suburban workshops for Li Yuhua, and is very capable. To be fair, she is smarter and more powerful than Mei Dianbu. Since Yan Lin can't handle it, it will be extremely difficult to deal with.
Li Yuhua changed into a cherry-red homely dress. Yan Lin came over and had a good fortune. Li Yuhua pointed to the chair beside her and said, "Sit down and say."
The cause and effect are similar to what Mei Dianbu said. Yan Lin frowned and said, "Our workshop is in the suburbs. Usually, the City Inspection Office goes out to the city to check sporadically every day. They have all paid for the money to handle the goods, and it has been smooth. This year, His Majesty is in the palace for summer vacation. There are more imperial guards patrols on the official roads. Although it is a bit stricter than the merchants, it is not too outrageous. Our cotton carriage team has ordered some money last time, but this time it is not enough to handle the goods, so they deducted the cotton cart."
Li Yuhua said, "Those who go to the imperial capital to do business have some backgrounds. It's okay to ask for a cup of tea. Whose insane family is this?"
"I have inquired about it. He is General Lin's nephew and son-in-law. His surname is Zhao, and his single name is Cong." Yan Lin had already found out clearly.
Li Yuhua asked, "What about the cotton households who are sending cotton now?"
"I'll place them in the farm for the time being." Yan Lin said, "This is the first batch of new cotton. There is a cotton cart coming over at the back. I sent a manager to come over and let them wait. Don't worry, we signed the contract at the beginning and will definitely collect their cotton."
Li Yuhua thought for a while, "It's not like this for other businesses. It can be seen that it's for our cotton trucks."
"I think so too." Yan Lin said, "I have thought about my business dealings in recent years several times and have never made a fuss with the people of the Imperial Guards. This matter is urgent, and this is General Lin's son-in-law. I am afraid that this person will only use a cotton cart to get into trouble. He has other intentions and dare not delay, so he comes back and report to the empress first."
Li Yuhua asked, “Can the cotton in the workshop still be available?”
"There are still some cotton last year, but our new loom has been built. We originally planned to increase manpower this year, so we should not slow down."
"There is no need to delay the recruitment of people. I will consult His Highness. There will be a lot of things on cotton carts for three or five days, and there will be a letter."
Li Yuhua was thinking about the third brother and knew that she had no grudges from the person named Zhao, and she had nothing to do with the Lin family. Li Yuhua was not in a hurry. Her third brother was a prince and was now valued, and she was afraid that the sixth rank official named Zhao would not succeed!
Mu Anzhi came back not too late. He was not as good as the imperial yamen in the imperial capital. Sometimes he was in charge of the fallen yamen. As long as there was nothing wrong with the imperial yamen, he could come back early.
During the meal, Li Yuhua told Mu Anzhi about this and asked Mu Anzhi, "Do you recognize this surname Zhao, third brother?"
"The official is too young and has no talent and reputation, and he doesn't have a prominent background, so he doesn't know." Although Mu Anzhi is not favored by Emperor Mu Xuan, what he can know must be at least of the level of Zhao Changshi. Like this sixth-rank Zhao Xiaowei, the guard Zhao, who is not yet attracted Mu Anzhi's eyes.
Mu Anzhidao, "Leave this to me."
Li Yuhua quickly inquired, "Brother Third, when are you going to ask for our cotton?"
"You want?" Mu Anzhi added some red bean soup to Li Yuhua's bowl, "What do you want?!"
Mu Anzhi did not take action personally and handed over the matter to Changshi Du. Du Changshi was much more familiar with the personnel affairs of the imperial capital than Mu Anzhi.
This sixth-rank Zhao Cong Zhao Cunshi, Mu Anyi, said Du Changshi, knew, "He, the lower officials knew this person. The Zhao family was barely reunited when they were the late emperor. Zhao's grandfather was once the fourth-rank inspector of the two lakes. His father had never served in his entire life, and to his generation, he was all looking forward to the Lin family. Zhao's grandmother was General Lin's mother, and his elder aunt married General Lin again. The two families had a very good friendship. He could serve in the Imperial Guards and was all in charge of the Lin family."
The reason why Zhao Zhengshi even dared to detain the princess's cotton cart when he ate a leopard, he guessed it was roughly correct. "In the palace, Concubine Lin was his cousin, and he always regarded himself as the second prince's cousin. Today, he was so crazy, probably because His Highness tried the second prince's case."
Mu Anzhi sneered coldly, "The second brother hasn't said anything yet. Where is he looking for a place for the second brother?"
"The Second Prince may not know which onion he is!" Du Changshi said, "He is not so arrogant when the serious Lin family members work in the Imperial Guard."
Du Changshi had an idea in his mind, "I will arrange this matter, so he will send the cotton cart back tomorrow."
Mrs. Liang's Villa.
At that time, Mrs. Liang was eating. Seeing Mrs. Liang's meals never tire of fine meat, Mrs. Liang sat down on her own and sighed, "Your eldest sister, you can eat it. This is too vegetarian. Why do I need meat when I eat it? How can I always eat vegetarian food?"
"You eat meat outside, I can't eat it here." Mrs. Liang asked him if he had any food.
"I'm on duty today for the last day. I can rest for one day tomorrow. Then I will change to the evening shift. I just handed over the mission and came here." Before I could eat, Mrs. Liang ordered the maid to add a piece of bowl and chopsticks.
The maid brought the azure porcelain. The captain Zhao picked up the chopsticks and plain tendons. He felt that it was extremely delicious. He couldn't help but praise, "The vegetarian tendons still have this kind of flavor."
"It's so rare."
"I usually know that chicken, fish, elbow meat is delicious, which is really eye-opening." Zhao Zhengwei praised.
Mrs. Liang smiled and said, "Just let the kitchen take some care." She asked him again, "Why do you think of coming to me?"
"I thought about coming here long ago. If it weren't for the Imperial Guards, I would have come." Captain Zhao took two bites of pearl rice and scooped up a bowl of vegetarian soup. "I heard in front of me that my eldest sister was wronged by Lin Cheng."
"Who did you hear?" Mrs. Liang asked keenly.
A few traces of disdain were curled up at the corner of his lips, "I have been in the Imperial Guards for a few years than him. I have grown up under my uncle and aunt since I was a child. People in the mansion are not familiar with him. Just his face as a king of hell. If my uncle hadn't been there, my aunt would have been afraid of offending him. Do you think anyone in the mansion treats him as a dish?"
"I said you are really worrying about it. You are kind-hearted. That person who only thinks you are traitor inside, why bother to worry about this useless heart!" Zhao Zhengwei sneered.
Mrs. Liang thought of the humiliation that day, and she couldn't eat the food. She frowned and poked a few shiny pearl rice with her chopsticks. "I don't know that he has a grudge, but this is indeed a great marriage. Your Majesty believes in the Lin family. If you can reign as the Lord, the Lin family will definitely go further!"
Mrs. Liang sighed, "Although it is thankless, it is related to the glory of the whole clan. Even if he doesn't know my affection, only the Lin family can rely on us."
"I'm afraid you're the only one who thinks you, my eldest sister, are the only ones." A little sinister appeared between the eyebrows of the CPPCC, and asked Mrs. Liang, "With his current situation, can you benefit from it in the future?"
Mrs. Liang's face changed slightly, "Stop talking about this, you came just to tell me this."
"The main thing is to persuade you not to do so stupidly and do these hard work. Do you think you are brothers and sisters, and you are not as good as you are strangers. After all, we are close relatives." Zhao Zhengwei said, "Don't worry about the irrelevant troubles of the novice. I tell you, I did something big today."
"What's the matter?" Lin Cheng's indifference gradually became a heart-wrenching problem for Mrs. Liang and her daughter. After all, the only one born in the Lin family was born. Especially Lin Cheng was deeply trusted by his father. Now that his father is still there, it's natural that it's okay. Once his father is gone, Lin Cheng doesn't have to be a side. As long as he is cold to their mother and daughter, their lives will be difficult. Because of Lin Cheng's relationship, Mrs. Liang asked casually because of her uninterested relationship.
However, Zhao Ziwei was ready to go, "Isn't the cousin of the second prince bullied by the third prince? I took off the cotton cart from the third prince's concubine's cloth workshop."
"What did you say?" Mrs. Liang's face changed drastically, and she stood up with the case, "You have detained the cotton cart of the Third Prince's concubine?"
"Yes, the second prince's cousin was thrown by the third prince and the charges were deducted. The two of the villages that were compensated were sold. Our Imperial Guard took over the inspection nearby. If there were suspicious vehicles, they would naturally detain them and inspect them carefully." Zhao said naturally.
Mrs. Liang said anxiously, "You are so confused. The Second Prince is ill. The third prince and his wife come to visit every day. The second prince's concubine is also very close to the third prince's carriage. The most important thing at the moment is that the second prince is favored again. You give the third prince's face. What if he takes his anger at the second prince? The third prince is now using it! Besides, he heard that he is extremely unreasonable and unpretentious. He is the prince's identity. He will take you away and reward the board. You will be left alone in vain! Why do you have to offend him!"
"Isn't he extremely unpopular with His Majesty? I heard that he offended the Eastern Palace." said Zhao Zhengwei.
"That's the year of the monkey and the month of the horse, one time and another!"
