Chapter 556 The direction of escape

Jiang Dezhong is here to speak.

After all, Old Jiang is also a "celebrity" in Nanjing. However, because this kind of celebrity does not have the support of imperial examination status, he is actually a rich man at best. However, after getting in touch with Zhang Zhou, he instantly became a celebrity in the capital. White gloves that can be heated with bare hands.

Zhang Zhou said, "Really? I don't know anything about it."

Jiang Dezhong smiled and said, "You should go and look at the family tree. If there are still people in the mother's family, find someone to ask. I knew it was true."

"That's a coincidence."

Zhang Zhou didn't think what Jiang Dezhong said was ridiculous.

The small world theory means that any two strangers can always be connected through five levels of intermediaries. If such a distant relative does not ask for something, Zhang Zhou also understands that this I will never have anything to do with it in my life.

Originally, the Ming Dynasty was a patriarchal society, and the wife family was not considered a close relative, let alone a relative who was beyond the reach of the mother.

"What do they want?" Zhang Zhou asked.

Jiang Dezhong sighed, "I don't know what taboo this family has committed. They said that the owner of the family has been taken away for more than a month, and no one is alive or dead. The family asked someone to inquire, and the result was more than half. Months ago, even the young and old in the family were arrested, and it was Jin Yiwei who took action."

"Yes." Zhang Zhou nodded, "The Yongping Mansion case was done by Jin Yiwei, and it was Jin Yiwei who directed it. The envoy took the people there in person."

Jiang Dezhong asked, "Can't you be accommodating? After all, there are some relatives. I didn't know it before, but now I know, I might as well give it to my family over there. I will definitely thank you very much."

Zhang Zhou said, "Father-in-law, let me ask you, what does this matter have to do with you?"

"This"

Jiang Dezhong's old face. Somewhat ashamed, "Speaking of which, I, an old man, also had some business in the north before. I was either a winemaker or a purchaser of some things. I have some friendship with the people in Yongping Mansion, and this time I was entrusted by others. I also I know that you are disgusted with these things. This is not the matter of the British public. I have never used your identity to pressure others. This time I just came to inform you." Zhang Zhou said, "I will pay tribute tomorrow. The hospital was in charge of the provincial examination. It was more than half a month later when I came out. This case was investigated by Jinyiwei."

Jiang Dezhong said, "Even if you are a relative, why don't you give me face?"

No I won’t give you any benefits, just say that I am a distant relative, and you want me to be accommodating and risk being accused of being biased and bending the law to help you get rid of it

"How about I help you?" See you,” Jiang Dezhong said.

"It doesn't mean that everyone in this family has been imprisoned and there are still people who can come out and walk around." Zhang Zhou frowned slightly. From this meaning, there was a fish that slipped through the net.

Jiang Dezhong said, “One of the people who married out of this familyMy daughter is your cousin's sister-in-law. She has already married to another family, so she has the opportunity to travel around. She has visited many homes in the capital recently, but there is no one she can talk to. She finally found me. "

Zhang Zhou couldn't help but smile after hearing this.

The relationship is messy enough.

The daughter of his grandfather's sister is equivalent to his cousin, and he married The Huang family, her husband's sister, married into another family. Now something happened at home, and then this daughter came out to help.

"Father-in-law, I tell you how much money she gave you." Zhang Zhou laughed He asked.

“I didn’t give you a penny. "Jiang Dezhong said with a red face, "Even if you give it, can I accept it? But she is not simple. What can I say? This woman still has some tricks. She can only give money and other things that should be given. It is said that her husband's family may also be involved in the case now. She also I'm helping to move around. ”

Something happened to her mother’s family and she has been involved in the Tongfan case.

Her husband’s family may also be involved in the case

This woman can’t hide. .

"If you don't give me money, what will I see her doing?" Zhang Zhou laughed.

Jiang Dezhong said, "No, I heard that Bingkuan will be in Yongping Mansion in the future." When mining, it is always good to have someone who can help. Moreover, these families are actually related to each other, and each family will always be related to each other. As long as they defect to you, whatever you want to do in Yongping Mansion in the future, it will not be like a fish in water."

“Well, my father-in-law’s vision seems to have improved a lot. "

Zhang Zhou's words sounded like he was paying tribute to Jiang Dezhong, but they were more of a dig at him.

Jiang Dezhong also knew that this was not a good thing, and sighed, "Big businessmen everywhere , in fact, this is the case. If you want to take root wherever you want, if you don't have a good relationship with them, you may end up causing trouble for both parties. Even Jiangnan is a shameful place to talk about. In the past, no one bothered to talk to me, but now they want to curry favor with me, and I still don’t bother to talk to them. ”

Speaking of this, Jiang Dezhong seemed to have straightened up his back.

The thing he is very proud of is that he has a good son-in-law, and when his son-in-law is in the most difficult time, he can do anything for him. Snobbish, he also helped.

Then the son-in-law did not completely forget about him, and even helped him after he became prosperous, so that he could expand his business.

"You are right. I was working in Yongping Mansion before, and this happened because I did not have a good relationship with the local government. Now that there is a chance for reconciliation, I should seize the opportunity. But I have to pay tribute to the Courtyard tomorrow, so I may not be able to make it in time. "

"It's okay, I'll send someone over to see you right now. Or find a place to meet. ”

“Just my old house. " Zhang Zhou said, "Don't be too high-profile. By the way, I will also call the Jin Yiwei people over and ask them what this case is about. "

"Okay, okay. "Jiang Dezhong stood up and walked out as if he had completed something very important, as if he was rushing to inform.

Zhang Zhou wanted to pay tribute to the Court to preside over the Shuntian Prefecture Township Examination.

After all, he was ordered to support the Yongping Mansion case. After entering, he should ask questions first.

Zhang Zhou first sent someone to invite Mou Bin, the commander of the Jinyi Guards. When he arrived at his old house, he first asked Mou Bin to show him the case, and then went to see the so-called cousin's sister-in-law. With Mu Bin present, it cannot be said that Zhang Zhou was giving and receiving privately.

Afternoon.

In Zhang Zhou’s old house, Zhang Zhou and Mou Bin sat down and talked for a long time.

Mo Bin sat very cautiously.

Zhang Zhou is a big shot after all. Even if the emperor does not favor Zhang Zhou, even if Zhang Zhou is just Cai Guogong, his status is much higher than that of Mou Bin. The commander of the Jin Yiwei only looks good to ordinary people. , his status is high and favored, but in front of the real power class, he is still a head shorter.

Of course, in different periods of the Ming Dynasty, the actual power of Jin Yiwei also varied.

"This Huang family is indeed related to you, Cai Guogong, and I only found out about my humble position today. I sent someone to check, and it seems that there is nothing wrong with it." Mou Bin was very careful.

He seemed lucky that Guo Ang had checked everything for him before coming.

Otherwise, he would not be able to answer the question when asked by Zhang Zhou.

Zhang Zhou said, "We are just distant relatives, so there is no need to protect us."

Mo Bin nodded and said, "I have inquired in detail in my humble position. The Huang family only has some business dealings with the Zhao family. Previously, The heads of the two families had discussed doing business together, and there was some overlap in some industries. In fact, there was no evidence to prove that they were guilty of a common crime. Even if they were convicted, they only had business dealings with foreigners. Logically speaking, they were just sentenced to migrant labor. But. ”

Because the border cities of the Ming Dynasty have been cut off, those counties that are close to the border cities, especially Yongping Prefecture, which have trade with foreign barbarians through Jizhou Town, will have Influence.

They will always use some channels to engage in smuggling.

If you are caught doing this, you will be exiled or beaten with a stick.

If you have to set up a "Tongfan", it is not impossible. At that time, a few people will be killed. As long as there is money to raise money, the matter will usually be dealt with at the level of the prefecture or the governor of Jizhen. If you keep it down, you won't report it to the public.

Zhang Zhou smiled and said, "Commander Mou knows everything clearly."

I heard that he is a distant relative of mine. There may or may not be evidence, but it seems that I, Mr. Cai Guogong, am selfless.

You, Mou Bin, are also good at getting things done.

"Someone will come over to see me in a while and talk about the case in detail. Commander Mou has some free time, so he might as well listen in," Zhang Zhou asked with a smile.

"Yes." Mou Bin quickly stood up.

After responding, he was thinking about whether he should answer yes or no

"Sir, if there is any inconvenience, you can also avoid taking the position." Mou Bin added road.

Zhang Zhou smiled and said, "No, it's all for the case. What's wrong with this case?""It's a principle."

Mu Bin said, "Your Majesty has an order. As long as it is convenient for you to mine in Yongping Mansion and your work can be accomplished, everything is up to you." ”

This case is yours. You can forgive whomever you want to forgive, and you can punish anyone you want to deal with.

Of course, we are responsible for doing bad things, and we are the Jinyiwei who are responsible for the infamy. Come and bear it.

“Thank you. Zhang Zhou said, "Come, please send a message and ask the visitors to come here to meet you." ”

Zhang Zhou was sitting at the main seat in the main hall, while Mou Bin was sitting at the head of the guests. At this time, Mou Bin was wearing regular clothes and meeting guests with Zhang Zhou, and he could feel a lot of pressure.

When he saw that the person who came was a woman in her forties, Mou Bin seemed to relax a little.

The woman was led in by Liu Gui. , Liu Guidao, "This is my master. ”

The woman is dressed in ordinary coarse cloth, but the Jingchai cloth cannot hide the satin material exposed at the collar. This is a typical example of hiding things when traveling. If you don’t show your wealth, you can’t stand out if you are rich. She is a wealthy person these days.

Although most of the big names in this era have government backgrounds, they also know that they will become the target of public criticism, just like this time. If it wasn’t the idea of ​​some big households in Yongping Prefecture to mine, they wouldn’t have suffered such a big retaliation.

“Mr. Caihuang, a civilian woman, pays homage to the Duke. "

As he spoke, he knelt down and kowtowed respectfully to Zhang Zhou.

After three ringings, he even lowered his head to the ground and would not stand up to look at Zhang Zhou. , or other disrespectful behavior.

"Caihuang" Zhang Zhou repeated

People with the surname Cai are rare.

"That's exactly what a civilian woman is. "The woman said.

"If anything happens, get up and talk. I heard that you are here for your mother's case," Zhang Zhou said.

The woman raised her head slightly, but her head was still lowered, and she continued to kneel on the ground, not looking at each other.

These days, the gap between the officials and the people is very big, and now the woman knows that she is here to ask Zhang Zhou for help. If she does not fulfill her courtesy, she may be kicked out directly.

The woman said, "My lord, you are right. My mother's family has suffered some injustices, all because of the villain's frame-up. I heard that there are villains in the county who covet my natal Huang family. There was also a person who received a little unfair treatment in the Huang family, so he came out to make false accusations. The women of the people have been running around in many places, but it is a pity that they are indifferent, and they still can’t defend their natal family. People do something. "

Zhang Zhou smiled and looked at Mou Bin beside him and said, "What do you think, Commander Mou?"

The woman was kneeling on the ground. She was originally wondering who was sitting next to her. Even Zhang Zhou called Mou Bin "Commander Mou", and she didn't know what the commander meant.

"Is this a villain's injustice? Why do you dare to say that Jin Yiwei is unjust?" Are you taking someone else?" Mou Bin of course wanted to refute.

You little woman.

How blind.

I don’t know the culprit who arrested your mother-in-law, that is, the commander of Jinyiwei is sitting next to you. You opened your mouth and shut up and said that your mother-in-law was falsely accused. Even if you didn’t name Jinyiwei and said that Jinyiwei was falsely accused, it was still true. Saying that we can't see clearly, and even unite with your enemies to accuse you unjustly

Caihuang said, "The woman from the village heard from the government that the people who sued the Huang family were the ones who were once raped by the Huang family." Those who are kicked out of the house."

Mo Bin glanced at Zhang Zhou first, but when he saw that Zhang Zhou didn't say anything, he sneered and said, "You, the Huang family, have done this because you are involved with the Zhao family. He had done business with foreigners, had many improper dealings, and even paid bribes to the generals who were guarding the gate. These were verified by the Jinyiwei."

"My lord, that's not the case," Caihuang said quickly. He kowtowed again and continued to argue.

Zhang Zhou smiled and said, "Ms. Caihuang, I can understand your desire to excuse your mother's family, but the person sitting in front of you is the commander of the Jinyi Guards. He is the one who led people to get the Huang family. Could it be that he doesn't know the facts of the case?"

Caihuang's body was shaken.

Suddenly I felt like someone was holding a knife on my neck, and it started to fall.

The reason why I was so angry with the commander of the Jinyiwei was that my mother-in-law didn’t die early enough.

Zhang Zhou said, "But Commander Mou also said that the Zhao family of Yongping Mansion is the chief culprit of Tongfan. If you, the Huang family, are willing to come out and testify against them, you can still be lenient." "

Caihuang said hurriedly, "This is natural."

Zhang Zhou looked at Mou Bin again and said, "Commander Mou, do you think this is good?"

"Natural. It's okay." Mou Bin responded while thinking, Your Majesty has let you make your own decision, why do you still seem to care about my opinion?

Do my words work?

Zhang Zhou said, "But I won't be able to intervene in this case for some time in the future. Otherwise, the case will be postponed for a while."

Mou Bin said, "Your Majesty has ordered Cai Guogong to preside over the case. Naturally, we have to wait." After Cai Guogong completes the errands of the Shuntian Prefecture Township Examination, he will make a decision."

"Then continue the investigation first," Zhang Zhou said, "I will decide the case after I come out."

" Sir, I have something to ask for from a common woman." When Caihuang heard this, Zhang Zhou was ready to give up.

Her idea was that it was a rare visit to see Zhang Zhou. This was probably her last chance. If she just left like this, it would be a waste of time.

Zhang Zhoudao said, "Say."

Caihuang said, "The civilian woman wants to see her father in prison and say a few words to him to let him know the situation outside and also So I can tell him what happened and let him figure it out."

This is to give the old father some ventilation and help him find a way to exonerate the Huang family.

Zhang Zhou glanced at Mou Bin, who immediately understood and nodded, "As long as it is approved by Cai Guogong, it is okay to meet. But someone must be present."

"yes. The woman thanked the two adults. ”

After saying that, he kowtowed respectfully and thanked each other. Please remember to bookmark this chapter when it is over. The latest and fastest website is free to read without anti-theft
