Feng Qing Shaoyi

Chapter 24
After Qi Ze taught Jiang Lu martial arts, he and Jiang Lu returned to the Ministry of War.Unexpectedly, as soon as he returned, he saw his colleagues in the military department looking at Qi Ze sympathetically.Because Qi Ze is fairly upright, he handles the relationship with his colleagues relatively well.So a few people secretly winked at Qi Ze and asked Qi Ze to go to the front yard.

After Qi Ze saw it, he felt that something was going to happen, so he ran to the front yard.Jiang Yu also saw it, and quickly followed Qi Ze to the front yard of the Ministry of War.

When Qi Ze arrived at the front yard, he saw Zheng Shen standing in front of two people with his hands crossed. There was a fair-skinned, beardless eunuch, and beside him was an ordinary young streetman with oily body kneeling.The young man was trembling with fright, his eyes were glazed, as if he had received a great blow.

Qi Ze looked familiar when he saw that eunuch, wasn't this the eunuch that Murong Sheng was with the day he came to the Ministry of War to discuss the matter of military pay?Could it be that this matter has something to do with the prince.

Qi Ze walked to Zheng Shen's side, bent down to salute the eunuch. "I don't know if Eunuch Liu is here, what's the matter?"

Eunuch Liu also turned his head to look at Qi Ze, and said: "His Royal Highness saw this man in the market, and he dared to say that he has military membership. How could a cook cake seller have military membership? Lord Zheng Shangshu and Lord Qi Langzhong should investigate clearly."

The so-called "sitting in the barracks, manning the army to guard the defense, and staying behind and driving followers in and out, this is really a soldier." It is indeed impossible for a cook cake seller to have military membership.If even those who sell cooking cakes have military membership, then what are the soldiers stationed at the border.

When the military registration is discharged, it will naturally be canceled and changed to ordinary household registration.But this person is so young, it is impossible for him to be canceled if he has military registration.Because the rewards received by military registration are so large, the status and status will become unusual, so the imperial court has very strict management of military registration.At the same time, it is something that people yearn for. If you can have military status, it means you can get a pension from the court.

It seems that we need to investigate carefully. If this person really has military status, it will be troublesome.The matter of military status has a huge impact, let alone how the border guards will feel if they know about it, this is considered a big mistake for her as a doctor, if the management is not strict, she will be imprisoned.

Zheng Shen also understood Qi Ze's ability in his heart, and it was impossible for such mistakes to occur.But at the same time, I also know how influential the military status is, so I asked the young people on the ground. "What's your name? Is it true that you have military status?"

"The villain's name is Zhang Sheng, and the villain is indeed a military member." Zhang Sheng said tremblingly.

When Zhang Sheng was speaking, Zheng Shen winked at the little official behind him. The Ministry of War knew best whether Zhang Sheng had military status or not.All military registration records are in the Ministry of War, and they will certainly not listen to the one-sided words of a person in the market.The little official understood and ran to check the military registration of Zhang Sheng.

"Oh, is that so? Everyone knows that military registration is extremely rare, and now those with military registration are stationed at the border. You are so young and still have military registration, why are you selling cooking cakes in Dingjing instead of at the border?" Zheng Shen continued to ask.

Zhang Sheng shivered in fear, why do he have to go to the border even if he has military registration?If I knew it earlier, he wouldn't talk nonsense, but now things are getting worse. "This villain doesn't even know. The villain has military membership but doesn't know he's going to the border."

After hearing this, Jiang Yu stepped forward, looked at Zhang Sheng on the ground, and said, "Who are you kidding? Now, everyone should know that as long as they have military registration, they have to go to the border, or they are not at the border but also receive training at the military department in the capital. Why do you I do not know?"

Zhang Sheng glanced at Jiang Yu, and he knew that he was an official just because he was wearing an official uniform, but seeing a young boy who was not as old as him in front of him, he said shamelessly: "My lord, you also said that it should be, isn't that true?" There are still some people who don't know."

Jiang Yu was a little stunned after hearing this, there are still people who are so unreasonable.But because of his high quality and the high education he received, even if he was misunderstood, he just shouted angrily: "Oh, you... you..." After that, he was speechless.

Qi Ze glanced at Zhang Sheng, he was a smooth-tongued person, he had been in the market for many years, he was used to cheating and cheating, Jiang Lu was definitely not Zhang Sheng's match when it came to his opponent.

"Then how did you get your military registration? The requirements for military registration are strict, so I'm afraid you won't be able to get in like this." Seeing Zhang Sheng's slick tone, Zheng Shen stopped asking directly.

"This... villains don't know either." Zhang Sheng was still more afraid of the majestic and unsmiling Zheng Shen in front of him, and he was a little flustered and didn't know what to do, but he knew in his heart that he just pretended not to know anything.

"Is it true that you don't know or you want to hide it? If you don't tell the truth, you will be imprisoned and tortured." Zheng Shen also said harshly.

As soon as Zhang Sheng heard that he was going to be tortured, he heard that there were bloody and dirty instruments of torture inside and corpses on the ground, so he was terrified and said tremblingly, "Yes... a few days ago, my cousin said that he would be bribed with money. Officials of the Ministry of War can be registered as military members, so..." So he paid for military registration.

As soon as these words came out, everyone was stunned.This is not to say that officials of the Ministry of War accept bribes to help people become military members. If this matter is known, they will be thrown into black hats at least, and their heads will be beheaded at worst.

At this time, the little official also found out Zhang Sheng's military registration book, and handed it to Zheng Shen.Zheng Shen lowered his head and looked up at Qi Ze in surprise after reading it, and handed Zhang Sheng's military registration book to Qi Ze.

Qi Ze looked at the military registration book, and there was Qi Ze's seal on it, which meant that he was enrolled in the military when Qi Ze was in office.Moreover, through formal channels, Qi Ze's document was used to sign his name, and he personally stamped his military registration.It means that Qi Ze is the military official who accepted the bribe.

Seeing the bad faces of Zheng Shen and Qi Ze, Jiang Yu walked up to Qi Ze with some curiosity, poked his head out to look at the military registration book, saw Qi Ze's seal and knew what it meant in his heart, so he was very surprised Shouted: "It's impossible." Turning to Zhang Sheng, he asked, "Hey, how does your cousin know that you can join the military if you bribe him with money?"

"This villain doesn't know either. I heard that it suddenly spread some time ago, saying that someone will help you enroll in the military as long as you pay. When my cousin heard the news, he persuaded me to pay to enroll in the army. The villain spent money It took a lot of silver to get it." Seeing that Zheng Shen was also looking at him, Zhang Sheng replied honestly.

"Then where is that cousin of yours now?" Jiang Lu then asked.

Zhang Sheng stopped talking, and Mr. Liu next to him said openly: "His cousin works in the imperial dining room. His Highness saw that he had neglected his duties, so he ordered someone to put him in prison."

Put in prison?Doesn't that mean that death is not far away, I'm afraid he has been executed now.Murong Sheng has a gentle appearance, but when it comes to methods, he is on par with Murong Xiu.If you compare it from this point, Murong Sheng is not as good as Murong Xiu, anyway, Murong Xiu doesn't bother to hide, and his methods are cruel and aboveboard.

But Murong Sheng is just a smiling tiger, deceiving others with a gentle appearance, and doing disgusting and nasty things in private.

"Do you know who is helping you enroll in the military?" Jiang Yu asked, since you have used money to enroll in the army, there should be someone to support you, and Zhang Sheng may have seen it.

But Qi Ze stared at Zhang Sheng, probably even Zhang Sheng didn't know, how could it be possible to show his face for such a deed, and it was impossible to come out to receive the silver taels in person.

Sure enough, Zhang Sheng raised his head and said, "My lord, you think highly of villains too much. Apart from seeing so many adults now, how can a villain have the right to meet big people like you?"

This made Jiang Lu speechless, Zhang Sheng was right, it was impossible for a common man like him to meet court officials.

But at the same time, it also shows that the matter of Qi Ze accepting bribes is confirmed. There is a seal on the military registration book. As a witness, Zhang Sheng also asked three questions. It's normal for an ordinary person with no status.If you know everything, it's not normal to say it clearly and logically, and it can't be fake.

Eunuch Liu also saw Qi Ze's seal on the military registration book, and he understood what was going on.He bowed to Zheng Shen and said: "Since we have found out what's going on, our family has to report to His Highness." After a pause, he said: "I also ask Mr. Shang Shu to handle it impartially, and don't mess up the rules and regulations."

Zheng Shen glanced at Qi Ze, bent down and saluted and said, "Eunuch Liu please intercede with His Highness the Crown Prince, Qi Langzhong's ability and conduct are obvious to all, it is impossible to do such a thing that disrupts the government."

Qi Ze was a little surprised, he didn't expect Zheng Shen to protect himself, he did not hesitate to plead with the prince, and refuted to offend the prince's cronies face to face.Now the evidence is obvious, which is really surprising to Zheng Shen, who has always acted impartially.

Eunuch Liu was also a little surprised, but he still said: "If Lord Shangshu wants to intercede for Lord Langzhong, you might as well go there in person. I believe His Highness will treat Lord Shangshu a little bit better." After finishing speaking, he left.

The evidence of Qi Ze's case is conclusive, and he will go to jail.It's understandable that Eunuch Liu didn't want to offend the prince because of this, but Zheng Shen has also been Minister of the Ministry of War for many years, so Murong Sheng might be able to forgive him.

Zheng Shen looked at Zhang Sheng who was on the ground, now there is no clue about the matter, Zhang Sheng still has the meaning of investigation, besides, he can’t be let go even if he pays him for military registration, and said: “Come here, put Zhang Sheng in the prison of the Ministry of Military Affairs. "

Qi Ze stepped forward to thank him and said, "Thank you Mr. Zheng for defending the official."

Zheng Shen also looked at Qi Ze and said, "It's okay, I know you didn't do this, otherwise you wouldn't have no reaction to Zhang Sheng's military registration book. Besides, General Hussars spent his whole life for the Southern Chu Army, But it is a pity that he died on the battlefield, and this officer also wanted to keep the last only seedling of the general." After finishing speaking, he left.

Jiang Yu also smiled and said: "Shao Yi, I knew it. You are the son of the general Hussars. The generals are so powerful. Your luck will definitely not be bad."

These words made Qi Ze a little stunned. It turned out that it was because of her father. It seemed that even after her father passed away, she was still guarding her in heaven.I thought that everyone in the world had forgotten my father, but I didn't expect that there were still people who remembered, and there were more than one.

Then she has to investigate this matter carefully, it seems that someone deliberately framed it.She didn't do it, someone else did it.Although Zheng Shen pleaded for her, but the death penalty can be avoided, and the living crime cannot be escaped.Therefore, it is necessary to quickly find out the real culprit behind the scenes.

After Qi Ze went back, he found her document and seal, and there was no trace of anyone tampering in the original place.So what's going on?Without her document and seal, how did the other party sign Zhang Sheng in her name.

Could it be that someone stole it when she wasn't paying attention, and then returned it?But this is the doctor's room, how could someone come in and steal it, and she didn't pay attention.

After noon, Qi Ze took Zhang Sheng's military registration book and went to the household department.After finding Xu Siheng in the household department, he explained the situation.Xu Siheng was also very surprised, and quickly sent someone to find Zhang Sheng's household registration.

"Shao Yi, how could such a thing happen? How could you offend someone who has always been modest and courteous, so that the other party framed him like this." After hearing this, Xu Siheng knew that someone was deliberately framed behind his back.

In the court, it is not uncommon for court officials to intrigue and fight for a higher position, but the question is who wants to do this to frame her.

After a while, the little official also brought Zhang Sheng's household registration in the household department.After comparison, it was true that Zhang Sheng was transferred to the military during her tenure, and the transfer time was exactly the same, and she did use her document and seal.It is impossible to forge something like a document, that is to say, someone did go to her room and steal the document and seal.Who would it be?
However, Xu Siheng's words reminded her that no matter how modest she was with others, there would always be people who would tease her out of nowhere.Even though he suffered countless times at her hands, he always persisted in finding her troubles.

After returning to Fusheng Pavilion, he called Zhu Yu to listen to what happened in Qi Mansion recently.And Zhu Yu was also a little surprised, because nothing particularly strange happened in the Qi Mansion recently.If there was, it would have been reported to Qi Ze long ago.

"It doesn't matter to other people, as long as Qi Chen and Qi Zhe have something different from usual, they can tell them."

Zhu Yu thought about the activities of Qi Chen and Qi Zhe in the past few days. Qi Chen would go to the official department early every day and come back at night.Qi Zhe would review books every day under the pressure of the teacher, and sometimes play with the housemaid at night.If there is a difference, there really is none.but……

"Master, let's talk about it differently. One night, the Eldest Young Master went to the Second Young Master's room, and came out half an hour later. I don't know if this counts?"

"Forget it, why not?" Qi Chen's favorite thing is to use Qi Zhe to deal with her, and Qi Zhe is always encouraged to deal with her every time, and he has been beaten back by her countless times without long memory. "After that, what did Qi Zhe do?"

"Afterwards, the second young master asked his servant Afu to go out. He went to the market, but only went out to drink tea and chat. Because there were too many people outside and the noise was noisy, it was inconvenient for our people to appear in front of others. So I didn't hear exactly what Ah Fu said."

"Go and find out what Ah Fu said when he went out. It may have something to do with bribing military officials to join the army." And Qi Ze remembered that the horse's illness was caused by this Ah Fu when he went out to contact outsiders. Qi Zhe is very loyal, so we have to watch him carefully in the future.

Because there are many people in the market, it is not difficult to investigate.After Zhu Yu came back, he said, "My master is right. The news that you can enroll in the army with money is the one who released the news, and there are not a few people who enroll in the army in this way."

Sure enough, but this method must have been thought up by Qi Chen, and Qi Zhe couldn't think of such a method with his mind.Unexpectedly, Qi Chen would learn the same method to deal with her from accepting bribes in the imperial examination. As expected of Qi Chen, he tried everything he could, even learning Que Yu's method.

It's just that the matter of accepting bribes in the imperial examination was targeted at the Qi family, and this time it was targeted at her alone.She was the only civil servant in the Qi family for generations, and she was the only one in the Ministry of War. If she was successfully eliminated this time, it would have no effect on the Qi family, and Qi Chen didn't have to worry about any hidden troubles when he inherited the Qi family in the future.

Let Qi Zhe come forward, and if someone finds out, he can also accuse Qi Zhe of being all at fault.Because of this incident, Qi Zhe also bears the reputation of disrupting the government. Even if he gets the honor in the future, he will never have a smooth sailing in his official career.

Although the Qi Mansion has already decided that Qi Chen will be the head of the family in the future, but the future is ever-changing and unpredictable, and Qi Zhe is also the son of the eldest son, who knows if he will be the head of Qi Zhe in the future.It is possible to advance, and it is also possible to retreat.If she gets rid of her because of this incident, Qi Zhe will bear the infamy, and he is the only son left in the Qi family. Qi Yuan will teach him more carefully, and the Qi family will definitely be his in the future, killing three birds with one stone.

No wonder Qi Chen was so quiet during this time, it turned out that he had already planned a plan to wait for her.
