Chapter 457
As soon as Governor Cai spoke, he saw Bi Zhian's smile calmed down.
Shangfeng's face was inexplicably darkened, which made him a little at a loss and could only stop the words behind him.
"You shouldn't tell Mr. Qin," Bi Zhian said in a deep voice, "You have to tell me first.
It’s not that I’m not so scrupulous and don’t care about those good names.
Instead, once this matter is carried out, the last thing to do is the Ministry of Rites and Shuntian Prefecture.
Lao Cai, if you communicate with me during the New Year, I will discuss and plan well with the adults to better place the candidates.
It’s a bad idea if we don’t have this ten-day period. How great it would be for us to prepare the house in advance."
Governor Cai’s face turned red by Bi Zhian’s words. He should indeed be criticized. Lord Bi’s words made sense.
"It's because the officials are not thinking carefully enough," said Cai Zhishi, "Indeed, I have to tell the adults earlier."
Bi Zhian patted Governor Cai on the shoulder.
I beat the stick and gave it to the dates. Now it is the most relaxing time for the person being questioned, so I can get to the topic.
"The court still needs talents like you," Bi Zhian smiled. "I have never suffered those hardships. I have never thought of these things for so many years. It's not like you, but you have a hard time. You can think that it's not easy for candidates. Mr. Qin also pointed out himself and spoke at the grand court meeting."
Governor Cai loosened his shoulders and smiled, "Where is, it's actually the son of the Xiaguan. The stinky brat knocked down a candidate that day. Although the candidate was not injured, his back was several purple. The Xiaguan sent the person to the clinic and talked to the candidate for a while before he realized that he was poor..."
"Which candidate?" Bi Zhian asked, "Have you come to the yamen to get things?"
Cai Zhishi thought for a while and said, "Mao Feng, a native of Yinjiang County, Sinan Prefecture, is young and speaks well in his official language. He should come and get it. He has little money and will not miss such an opportunity."
Bi Zhian talked a few more words, came out of the room, turned to find Wen Zifu to ask for the candidate list.
Before Wen Yan left, she saw Bi Zhian go in a hurry, so she opened her mouth to check the list and smiled and touched Hei Tan'er's neck.
He is worthy of being Lord Bi, he is very transparent.
It will be clear at one point.
Wen Yan glanced at Wen Zifu again.
It's different from my uncle.
Bi Zhian looked up Mao Feng's record and his hometown was comparable, but the most important point was that he arrived in Beijing, which was completely incompatible.
Mao Feng entered the capital from the South City Gate on the 17th day of the first lunar month.
How could Governor Cai’s son knock him down during the New Year?
Mao Feng was settled in Liushu Lane, not far from Shuntian Mansion, so Bi Zhian took a trip in the name of caring for the candidates.
As soon as I see someone, I know that this Mao Feng is not that Mao Feng.
Mao Feng in front of him can speak official language, but his accent is strong.
Bi Zhian did not bring Mao Feng to Governor Cai, he took a step back and first found a way to investigate Governor Cai's son.
This investigation revealed the problem.
Cai Jin, the son of Governor Cai, was not very good at studying, but he made many friends. He usually hangs with a group of playboys.
In other words, the son of a little governor, curled up with a group of children from the official family.
Bi Zhian saw Liang Hui's name among the people who were interacting with Cai Jin.
Liang Hui is the old son of Liang Guizhong, the Minister of the Honglu Temple.
Compared to the sons in front of Liang Guizhong, the son was naturally favored and acted inappropriately in his old age.
Bi Zhian also arrested Liang Hui twice, which was not an important case. After being imprisoned for a few days, Liang Hui asked him to be honest. Once, the elder brother came to take charge of the people, and once, Liang Guizhong came to take charge of the people.
And Liang Guizhong, the old people in the court, knew that they had no choice but to join the Shen family.
He is from the Shen family.
There is a direction that can be promoted later.
The fake "Mao Feng" was also found, and he was also asked and used money to do business.
Before Wen Yan entered the palace to pick up things, Bi Zhian invited the person to Shuntian Mansion and handed her the sorted case file.
"Transfer to the fourth young master." Bi Zhi'andao.
Wen Yan glanced at it and smiled and said, "Thank you for your hard work, Lord Bi."
Sitting in the carriage, Wen Yan arrived at the palace gate.
Huo Yixiao is waiting for her here.
Wen Yan handed him the case file.
Huo Yixiao opened it and looked at it, sneering.
"It's a bit interesting," Huo Yixiao said with a voice to Wen Yan, "Mr. Liang Guizhongliang, tsk!"
Liang Guizhong was only forced to vote for the Shen family, and his loyalty to the Shen family was limited.
Wen Yan said that when the Shen family is weak, Liang Guizhong will turn against the water quickly.
When Min Hao returned to the investigation, he let Liang Guizhong go and sold it, but it was not the right time. As a result, Zhu Yu asked Liu Zongquan to go to Liang Guizhong to sell it, indicating that he was dealing with it and then protecting Lord Liang.
However, even if it is better to sell, Liang Guizhong will not let Liang Hui get involved.
If Liang Guizhong knew about these messy things, he would have made another trick for the Shen family.
"After these troubles are over, I should really talk to Lord Liang." Huo Yixiao said.
Wen Yan pursed her lips and smiled: "What are the accounts, settle the bills one by one."
Don't worry, all the accounts will be calculated clearly.
Huo Yixiao and Wen Yan went to the imperial study first.
Eunuch Wu led them in.
The emperor was looking at the memorial, and when the two of them bowed, he said, "Look at how many things you choose."
Huo Yixiao did not withdraw immediately, but handed over the case file to Eunuch Wu.
The emperor took it from Eunuch Wu, opened it and raised his eyebrows.
Although there is still no direct ironclad evidence, it has been much better than before when Ding'an Hou Mansion opened its mouth and covered Wanyang's head.
I have to say that the preparations are quite complete.
Even the matters around an eighth-rank governor were revealed.
The emperor glanced at Wen Yan.
I heard that Wen Yan has a good relationship with her brothers and sisters in her family.
The Shen family started with Wen Ci, which made Wen Yan respond in such a way.
"I understand," said the emperor, "Go."
Wen Yan and Huo Yixiao retreated from the imperial study room and followed the eunuch to the warehouse.
In the warehouse, there are things passed down by the royal family for many years, and some of them are confiscated by officials. They are classified and sorted and stored.
Huo Yixiao sent the eunuch outside and only brought Wen Yan and Ebony in.
The huge warehouse was not available for a while.
Wen Yan looked at it and spoke to Huo Yixiao: "Mr. Bi found out that his head hurts. Those things were arranged too carefully."
Huo Yixiao chuckled: "It's better to be more meticulous."
It was so detailed that it was impossible to tell whether it was Zhu Mao or Zhu Yu who started the fight.
Based on Huo Yixiao's inference, judging from the various subsequent performances, he was more inclined to Zhu Mao, but he was just inferred, because there was no proof that could directly lead to Zhu Mao.
But this is enough for the emperor, as long as you can connect to the Shen family, it is enough.
Of course, it is also thanks to Zhu Mao's careful arrangements. Otherwise, the Shen family or the eldest princess would find Zhu Mao's head after investigation. How could the emperor catch turtles?
Wen Yan looked around and said, "Look for the calligraphy and painting collections. My grandfather must have left a lot of calligraphy and paintings."
She has to pick a few more.
Take advantage of this good opportunity to take away your own things with justification.
