Chapter 703 La la la, 37 days of speedrunning
In the morning of the same day, Dali Temple.
Because the two assassins were pretending to be officials from Dali Temple to assassinate, Dali Temple was afraid of being blamed, so after Jiao Shun sent the prisoner, not only the assassin was strictly guarded, but even the group of people who went to Tongzhou this time waited. , and all of them were temporarily locked up to check their confessions.
Jia Lian and Jia Baoyu are also among them.
However, the two of them have special identities after all, so they were not in a hurry to interrogate them last night, but let them rest for a night, and then began to interrogate them the next morning, and the content of the interrogation was much simpler and gentler than others .
But even so, Jia Lian was so upset after recording the statement that his hands trembled when he signed the pledge.
This damn dog slave is simply a disaster!
He went to mourn for his father-in-law yesterday, who knew that the ginger slices he carried with him hadn't been used yet, thanks to that dog slave, this series of messy things happened.
As for the two assassins, this is not Jing Ke's assassination of the King of Qin. You have to roll up the map of Dato' Kang to have a chance to do it. What kind of dagger did you use?So what if there is poison on it?Isn't it necessary to stab people to count?
If you just get two muskets—preferably a shotgun for making iron sand—not to mention that the dog slave only has some stupid strength, even if he has three heads and six arms, he will be smashed into a sieve!
At that time, I will drag his battered corpse to see the prostitute at home, and if it is not intact, he will be able to have a dead body and two lives. Everyone will be happy, and I will never have to suffer from this green hat from now on!
The more Jia Lian thought about it, the happier he was, and the happier he was, the more regretful he was. He was caught in this contradictory emotion and couldn't extricate himself. Suddenly he heard someone shouting outside, asking Baoyu how he was.
Bah~
All these dog slaves who hold high and step low are all alike!
Immediately, he lost his temper, threw the painting brush on the table viciously, lifted the hem of his clothes and took a few steps to the door, scolding: "Why are you so noisy?! This is also the place where you all yell. ?!"
Hearing the words, the young servants who were circling around Jia Baoyu all stood silently and stood aside with their hands down, not daring to say anything more.
Jia Baoyu had to take off because of this, and hurriedly greeted him with a tired face: "Second brother, are you here too?"
"Just finished drawing the bet."
Seeing the tiredness on his face that could not be erased, Jia Lian remembered that she had tossed and turned yesterday and couldn't sleep well, so she asked, "Why, could it be that you were frightened by what happened yesterday?"
Jia Baoyu nodded awkwardly, that's all he was good at, he never held it up when it was time to admit cowardice: "I only heard about it in the scriptures before, but I didn't expect that there would be an assassination of the imperial envoy."
"Humph~"
Jia Lian snorted heavily, and said in a strange tone, "That's not because he was too ostentatious to make enemies everywhere—uncle also served as an imperial envoy, patrolling the four directions on behalf of the emperor, why didn't he encounter any danger?"
Jia Baoyu nodded, but he still feared the officialdom like a tiger in his heart.
He had already made a decision that after bringing Lin Daiyu back from Suzhou, he would at least cheer up his career, but now he has retreated unconsciously—anyway, Sister Lin is different from Sister Bao, and has never been here before. The higher-ups have urged me, so why should I try to cheer myself up?
You must know that although you have not been affected this time, there is no guarantee that you will not suffer from disasters next time.
"gone."
Jia Lian rubbed his shoulders and greeted, "If you don't hurry back, the family might think something is wrong with us!"
With that said, he took the lead in walking towards the door.
Jia Baoyu hurriedly followed, and subconsciously asked, "Shall we go to the Wang's house or go back to the mansion?"
Jia Lian thought for a while and said, "The family must keep the old lady secret about things like this. It's better to go to Wang's house first, and it won't be too late to return to the house after consulting the master and wife."
Baoyu's heart was in a mess at this time, so naturally he would not have any objections.
So the two led a few servants who had also been interrogated, and strode out. Because the space of the official ship is limited, and the horses and vehicles brought with them also need to be driven, so most of the entourages left Lu Lu, invisibly escaped a catastrophe.
As soon as he left the main gate of Dali Temple, a dozen servants headed by Zhou Rui immediately greeted him.
Seeing this, Jia Lian asked, "Have you heard the news at home?"
"I got it last night!"
Zhou Rui hurriedly said: "The master and wife were afraid that something might happen to the two masters, so they sent people out before dawn. They searched all over the world all morning, and only then did they know that they were in Dali Temple."
Jia Lian nodded when he heard the words, and was waiting for them to drive the carriage over, when suddenly he saw a group of officials coming from the left side.
The leader was a green-robed official, who stood a few feet away, clasped his hands and said with a smile: "You two, please stay here, we still have some things to ask you about."
Jia Lian frowned, and said angrily: "Didn't you already ask me? Why are you here again! Is it fun for you to be the second master?!"
Before the little official could speak, Zhao'er reminded in a low voice, "Second Lord, these people seem to be from the Procuratorate, and they just had our second interrogation this morning!"
"From the Inspectorate?"
Jia Lian was puzzled for a moment: "What does this matter have to do with your Inspectorate?"
Immediately, he said angrily: "What do you want to ask? Go to Dali Temple to ask for a confession. The second master doesn't have so much free time to make coughing with you!"
As he said that, he didn't plan to wait for the carriage to come any longer, so he gestured to Zhou Rui to let him lead the way.
"Second Master Lian stay behind!"
The green-robed official rushed a few steps, stopped the steps with his arms crossed, and said with a smirk: "You two are relatives of the emperor, if we don't obey the orders of our mission, how dare we make mistakes—— Please forgive me, you two, don't make things difficult for these little people like me."
Although he claims to be a small person, this person's attitude is not half humble and humble.
Seeing this, Jia Lian was naturally not satisfied, and immediately turned his face down, and scolded: "What is the difference?! I really want to ask clearly, why don't you ask Jiao Changqing?!"
As he said that, he pointed back at the Yamen of Dali Temple and said: "Take him inside for interrogation too, or he can be sent to the Procuratorate for a proper interrogation!"
Hearing this, the little official slanted to the side and cupped his hands: "Dare to ask Er Ye Lian to know that we are here to inquire about the relevant people under the orders of Mr. Zhao Rongheng, the imperial censor of the right capital. Please don't let Er Ye Lian know." Make it hard for me to wait."
He only blew himself up, but didn't directly answer the question about Jiao Shun. This kind of differential treatment made Jia Lian even more angry.
But Youdu Yushi is not a fuel-efficient lamp, he is the head of the world's officials, and he holds the power to supervise the world's officials. Not to mention the decline of the Rongguo Mansion, even a few years ago, it was not easy to offend .
Of course, if he could dream back to the time when Rong Ning was alive, it would be another scene.
Seeing that Jia Lian's attitude had softened, the little official immediately passed out the steps again: "Second Master Lian, don't worry, I'll just ask a few questions as ordered, and it won't take much time for you."
Jia Lian hesitated for a while, but finally gave up, and said with a flick of his sleeves, "If it wasn't for Mr. Zhao's face, hum~! "
Since he made a decision, Jia Baoyu naturally could only accept it silently.
So the two brothers went to a side hall for questioning. Originally, they said they were just asking a few words, but in fact the questioning was more detailed and sharp than Dali Temple. Jia Lian was so annoyed that he almost threw the table over.
Jia Baoyu was very well-behaved in front of outsiders, but he was as sleepy as a chicken pecking rice at the back, and when he finally escaped, he fell asleep as soon as he got into the carriage.
Jia Lian chanted all the way in the car, scolding Dali Temple accounted for [-]%, scolding the Inspectorate accounted for [-]%, and the remaining [-]% was covered by Jiao Shun.
Although Wang Ziteng's body has not been sent back, the Wang family has already laid out a full set of support. There are three archways outside the gate, and there are hundreds of paper figures and paper horses. White satin and white silk are hung everywhere, just like autumn. There was a heavy snowfall, and the cries of the servants in the courtyard were even more earth-shattering and endless.
Except for crying, everything else costs money.
But now even the treasury of the Wang family has been sealed up, how can there be money to buy these?
They could only borrow money from the outside world while entrusting relatives to help them—the Xue family must take the big money, and even the Rongguo Mansion gritted their teeth and squeezed out a lot of money, which at least maintained the last dignity of the Taiwei Mansion.
Jia Lian's and Jia Baoyu's carriages entered the corner gate. Naturally, someone had reported to Jia Zheng and Mrs. Wang.
So they stopped them at the second gate.
Mrs. Wang took her son up and down to look up and down, and seeing that he was very haggard, she immediately hugged her son in her arms and burst into tears.
Jia Zheng asked Jia Lian what happened.
In fact, Jia Lian didn't know exactly what was going on. When he got the news, the living assassins had already been interrogated, and the dead ones were covered with white cloth for safekeeping.
Because Jiao Shun wants to guard the only remaining assassin, he can only get some "deeply processed" news from Shuan Zhu's mouth - it's not that Shuan Zhu deliberately deceived him, but that young people suddenly encountered such things, or Frightened, he can't even speak well, or else he is boasting and exaggerating.
The peg is clearly the latter.
According to the version he described, not to mention two assassins with poisonous daggers, even if a whole armored ship of Wuxi State came, it would have to be overthrown by Jiao Shun [and him] with bare hands.
Naturally, Jia Lian didn't want to brag for Jiao Shun, so there were a lot of supervisors' speculations about the details, and that's why he was interrogated the longest.
Now in front of his uncle, he was about to belittle Jiao Shun's bravery even more, but he suddenly heard someone report that it was Jiao Shun's visit.
Then everyone's attention was shifted to this matter. As for what Jia Lian wanted to say, no one cared.
Jia Lian hangs in mid-air in one breath, so that he is not suffocated to death, standing there gritted his teeth, clenched his fists, blushing, wishing he could call around to beat Jiao out with sticks.
Everyone didn't care what he thought, Qiqi went out to greet Jiao Shun outside the hanging flower gate, and brought him to the flower hall in the backyard to talk like stars.
During the period, it is unavoidable to ask about the various circumstances of the assassination. After listening to Jiao Shun's description of the critical moment, not only was he almost injured by the dagger that sealed his throat with blood, but he was also almost beaten by the chicken flying egg kicked by the assassin. Mrs. Wang, Wang Xifeng, Tanchun and the others covered their mouths and exclaimed in terror.
It's nothing else, but when Jia Lian saw Wang Xifeng's frightened look, his heart felt sore, and he secretly thought that the mother-in-law had voluntarily succumbed to that dog slave in order to take revenge on herself. Love is hot!
What a blind woman!
Besides Jiao Shun's official position and power, what else can Jiao Shun be better than me?
"Humph~"
With such thoughts in mind, Jia Lian suddenly complained: "After returning to Beijing, you can go to the palace yourself, but why did you leave Baoyu and me in Dali Temple? This morning, people from Dali Temple asked questions first, and then People from the Procuratorate came to the door, look at how Baoyu has been tossed into?!"
Hearing what he said, Jiao Shun hurriedly got up and bowed, "I'm really sorry, I'm here to accompany Second Brother and Brother Bao first."
Jia Baoyu hurriedly waved his hands to indicate that he was fine.
Jia Lian stiffened his neck, waiting to continue entangled in this issue, but Jiao Shun said again: "But my younger brother is in a hurry to enter the palace to face the Holy Spirit, apart from his own selfishness, it is also to take the opportunity to ask His Majesty for favor."
"grace?"
Jia Zheng wondered, "What grace?"
Jiao Shun cupped his hands at him and said: "To tell you the truth, Uncle Shi, I have already obtained His Majesty's permission, and I will release the prince back home in a few days so that I can watch and mourn for the Taiwei."
After hearing this, Mrs. Wang was overjoyed at first, and hurriedly ordered someone to tell the good news to her sister-in-law and niece.
Even her biological mother has let go of her, and if Jia Lian wants to talk about Baoyu again, naturally there will be no ripples.
In a fit of anger, he simply declared that he was unwell, and left the meeting directly.
But Wang Xifeng, who was really 'unwell', pulled Tanchun to sit as a shield, and moved closer to chatting with Jiao Shun.
But before she could say a few words, Tanchun presumptuously asked: "Brother Jiao, Dali Temple is already a player in the game, so it's fine for them to investigate, but why is there something about the Inspector's Office?"
There are always more than a dozen people in this flower hall, although most of them are women, but there are also males such as Jia Zheng, Jia Lian, Jia Baoyu, Jia Zhen, Jia Qiang, etc., but only Tanchun noticed this.
Jiao Shun smiled slightly, and said: "Zhao Rongheng, the censor of the right capital, was born in Jiangsu and Zhejiang. Now that the emperor has issued an order to investigate many officials from Jiangsu and Zhejiang, he can't sit still, whether it is to maintain the power of the township party, or to accumulate reputation to compete for the Sui Dynasty. It is impossible for him to sit by and watch the title of leader left by Elder Ge."
Tanchun nodded suddenly. She has been trying to improve the knowledge of the court these days, but firstly, the Rongguo Mansion is relatively closed recently, and secondly, the relationship between the court is inextricably linked. Only by dialing in order can we thoroughly figure out the joints.
Immediately, she whispered again: "Listening to Brother Jiao's words, this matter should not be done by people from Jiangsu and Zhejiang, right?"
Jiao Shun shook his head again and again: "It's hard to say, you can't say it."
It's easy to understand what it means to be hard to say, but it's hard to say...
If Tanchun realized something, he was about to inquire a few more words. Wang Ziteng's wife and daughter had already rushed over after hearing the news, thanked Jiao Shun a lot, and asked when Wang Ren would come back.
She couldn't speak for a while, so she had to retreat to the side.
As a result, she immediately felt Wang Xifeng's resentment again, and she couldn't help jokingly said: "Sister-in-law has already put her 'heart' in her stomach, but why is she so anxious?"
