Red Mansion: I am Jia Lian

Chapter 180 It can’t be a conspiracy, right?

The censor patrolling the city saw clearly and signaled to the people from the Five Cities Military and Horse Division behind him to guard him. He stepped inside alone and walked up to Jia Lian and saluted: "Xiaguan Gu Changxing, courtesy name Hengsheng. I caught up today. I'm unlucky." !”

Filled with resentment, Jia Lian couldn't help but smile bitterly: "Actually, I didn't want to either. It was because the other party was bullying me too much, so I came here. But I didn't expect that I caught a big fish in one net. Please come with me." "

Zhang San led the way, and Jia Lian and Gu Changxing came to the backyard together. In a courtyard, a group of dozens of little girls stood in a pile, the oldest one could be ten years old, and the youngest one was six or seven years old. There were three middle-aged women kneeling next to them, watched by a servant. The knife in their hand was revealed, and the blood on the tip of the knife was not dry.

Smelling the strong smell of blood, Jia Lian vomited and held back. When he looked at Gu Changxing, he had turned his head and was holding on to the wall to vomit.

There were two corpses in the hall, and there were fallen weapons on the ground. The two resisted with knives, but were killed by the general.

"Zhang San, please tell me the specific situation." Jia Lian endured his nausea and continued to hand over.

"The younger one brought the two of them to this courtyard, and they encountered two people with knives. They slashed at them without saying a word. The younger one was forced to fight back. But the attack was a little harsher, and he couldn't hold it back for a while. The younger one thought, what kind of situation requires killing? So? After searching inside, we found dozens of little girls imprisoned here. We caught the woman who was about to run away and interrogated her, only to find out that these children had been abducted in the past month. "

When Jia Lian heard this, he looked back at Gu Changxing, who nodded with a pale face: "This case is indeed a public matter. However, I cannot listen to your side of the story!"

This censor who thought he was unlucky was extremely tough and adaptable. He became numb after vomiting.

"Bah! Hanlin is a poet, and his job is to write articles to praise virtues and guide righteousness. It took thirty years to compile a "Huidian", and the editors changed five times and still failed to fix it." When it comes to quarrels, Jia Lian is not timid at all. In Jia Lian's view, much of the knowledge of this era was useless. It neither develops productivity nor corrects folk customs. It is more about the personal interests and hobbies of academic researchers, and it is all private goods.

Hearing this, Gu Changxing waved his hand and signaled the soldiers to get out of the way. Zhang San hurried out, mounted his horse and galloped to Beiya.

The two of them were of good psychological quality and soon started chatting. Gu Changxing looked at Jia Lian and couldn't help complaining: "Hubu has a seizure. I don't know who has offended me recently. I have to pay the expenses of the Ministry of Rites and Yushitai." Damn it. If I don’t get my salary for the next three months, if I continue like this, I’ll have to pawn my winter clothes.”

(PS: I was impressed by the verdict in the case of four children who were not biologically biological, and I couldn’t help but complain. Sooner or later, morality will be worthless.)
Never overestimate the moral bottom line of the powerful. This is the most profound experience Jia Lian has had in his life.

The three of them went to the backyard and found a dry well. The servant stepped forward and pushed open the manhole cover, and a strong stench came out. This time, Jia Lian couldn't hold it back and turned around to vomit. Gu Changxing and Jia Lian fell apart and vomited several times, but they resisted.

The team officer responded and left, and the soldiers spread out to search. Jia Lian hugged Gu Changxing and reminded him kindly: "Mr. Gu, I'm afraid things will get serious, so you should think carefully about it. It won't be a big deal if I smash this place, but you have to be careful and take care of yourself."

Gu Changxing was not shy at all, and immediately retorted: "The Hanlin Academy is for learning, why do you want to compete with them in learning? As for the officials of the Ministry of Rites, aren't they not delaying the work of the court?"

At this time, another family member will come out. When he sees Jia Lian, he immediately comes forward and says, "Second Master, there is something found in the backyard."

The two returned to the front yard of the main entrance together. The air here was much more comfortable. They made two chairs. Jia Lian and Gu Changxing sat across from each other and waited. The matter was so big that Gu Changxing couldn't bear it on his shoulders.

Gu Changxing, the middle-aged seventh-rank city patrol censor, closed his eyes and looked up with tears in the corners of his eyes. Needless to say, this dry well was full of innocent souls. Contacting the little girl who was found in the front yard seems to have the answer.

After hearing this, Gu Changxing immediately said anxiously: "Master Jia, you absolutely must not do this."

After restoring the manhole cover, the three people with heavy faces returned to the front yard. At this time, people from the Wucheng Military and Horse Division had arrived. A ninth-grade team officer, leading more than ten people, took over the scene. The Jia family's servants all stood Wait aside.

Gu Changxing responded with silence, and Jia Lian sighed: "Brother Hengsheng, an official like you should live a good life."

Gu Changxing looked extremely irritated and yelled at Jia Lian: "You think I think this place is filled with filth and evil to the point of being crazy. It's okay if you don't encounter it. If you encounter it, you have to investigate it. At worst, this place is filthy." I don’t want to be an official anymore.”

Jia Lian didn't say anything. He looked at Gu Changxing. The censor seemed very responsible: "Excuse me, Master Jia, please send someone to inform the soldiers patrolling the city to come in and take over. This brave man, please lead the way."

Jia Lian nodded: "This is indeed the truth. Mr. Gu can let the Wucheng Army and Horses Division take over. I suggest you search carefully. There may be more gains."

Jia Lian looked at Gu Changxing and couldn't help but show respect in his eyes and said: "I caused this, I can't let you take the blame. Zhang San, take my seal and go to Long Jinwei Yamen and ask them to come and take over."

Jia Lian did not apologize for this, but instead said: "The Yushitai is better. It is considered a duty to report something based on rumors. Even if the content is misleading, it is still reasonable. What if the Ministry of Rites and the Hanlin Academy follow the rumors to report something? What's going on? I think it's a false accusation. These people still have the nerve to receive royal salary. Have they done their jobs well?"

Jia Lian replied without any hesitation: "No, it can only be like this. Otherwise, the case will probably go unsolved. And you will also die in an unknown way. Believe me, it will definitely be like this. There are many times in this world. It is normal for justice not to be heard."

Gu Changxing, who looked to be forty years old, showed a very tough side at this moment: "Of course, we have to take over the whole situation. Mr. Jia can leave, but the generals must stay and cooperate with my investigation. In addition, the case is too If there are too many, it needs to be reported to the Yushitai and Shuntian Mansion."

Gu Changxing told the team officer: "Let people search carefully, especially pay attention to whether there is a cellar."

Gu Changxing lost his temper after being rebuffed and could only glare at Jia Lian. What was a little bit of sympathy before turned into a spark. If there is a disagreement, they will roll up their sleeves and start a fight.

But Jia Lian refused to give up and said: "There is also the Ministry of Rites, which is in charge of the scholars in the world. I still have a bandage on the injury on my shoulder. Do you want to see it?" Everyone blocked the road collectively. The case of Jia Lian's assassination was still under investigation. He took the lead. Ren Mei How could Gu Changxing not know?
"You still know that you have an unsolved case, and now you come out to cause trouble? Isn't this helping the person who harmed you?"

The angle of Gu Changxing's counterattack was very tricky. Jia Lian, who was caught with a sore leg, glanced at him with disdain and said: "You know nothing, I can't explain it to you." After that, he scolded his mother in displeasure: "This is such a shitty world. ”

The scolding battle between the two was interrupted by a team officer who came to report the news. The officer said with a horrified look on his face: "My lords, something big has happened."

Jia Lian and Gu Changxing exchanged quick glances and stood up together. Gu Changxing asked: "What did you find?" "A weapons arsenal, including armor, crossbows, and firearms. It can equip five hundred people." When the officer spoke, he was so frightened that he almost cried. Why did such a thing happen? Something big was going to happen.

"Lead the way and have a look." Gu Changxing set off immediately without saying a word. Jia Lian quickly followed. The place was in an unmanned quiet room in the front yard. The entrance to the cellar was hidden in the quiet room. The lid was open at the moment. The team officer introduced: "When I checked this place, I saw that there were mats and futons on the ground. The house was very clean. Someone must have come here often. I asked someone to open it and found the entrance cover. "

Gu Changxing said: "I'll go down and take a look."

Jia Lian did not follow, but just took a look at the entrance, which was half the size of a mat. It was neatly built with green bricks and formed a sloping step down. Let alone ancient times, this project would have taken ten days even in modern times.

After Gu Changxing went down, he came up with just a stick of incense, and said to Jia Lian: "It's almost time to catch up with the underground palace. There are only four pillars. They were not dug later. They can only be done at the beginning of building the house, and then Cover the house."

"Old Prince Zhongyi did something bad" immediately came to Jia Lian's mind. Could it be the remnants of the rebellion case?
What kind of luck is this on me? I came here obviously to fight, but I actually made a shocking case.

This is no longer something that can be described as unlucky. I am just a humanoid self-propelled machine that brings its own troubles.

Jia Lian's whole body was numb. A person should not and cannot cause trouble like this.

For the melon-eating crowd on East Street, today is another day without Runtu, so the melons are getting bigger and bigger.

First, Mr. Lian came to the door and smashed the teeth. Then, the censor of the city came with the soldiers of the Five Cities Troops and Horses Division to maintain public order. Then the whole atmosphere changed. The soldiers began to block the scene, and then the left side of the censor's platform Du Yushi and Long Jinwei's eunuch Xia Shouzhong arrived at the scene almost at the same time. After a brief confrontation, the two went in together with a tacit understanding.

As of now, the two of them don't know that the weapon library has been found. They only know that the case involves multiple lives, the specific number is unknown, and it is a major case of a kidnapping. Everyone knows the history of this dental shop. Many wealthy families will buy the trained Beidi Rouge from here, which is as famous as Yangzhou Slim Horse.

Beidi Rouge’s training institutions all claim to be from Datong. The case was solved, they were all Yangcheng Lake hairy crabs.

When Xia Shouzhong saw Jia Lian, he hurried forward with an unlucky look on his face and said, "Second Master Jia, living ancestor, I beg you, please don't cause trouble for me, okay? My old bones really can't bear it."

Jia Lian looked at him with a heavy face and said nothing. Xia Shouzhong's heart tightened instinctively and he blurted out, "Is there any bigger one?"

Jia Lian nodded with a look of shame on his face: "I didn't want to either. I just came to have a fight and express my anger."

Mr. Liao, the censor of Zuodu, felt his scalp numb after hearing this. He turned his head and looked at Gu Changxing in horror. What do you mean, you are talking.

Gu Changxing took a step forward. At this time, he did not forget to give the two first greetings, and then reported: "So far, a dry well has been found full of corpses. I haven't been able to go down to find out how many there are. There are also forty-one people. A young woman was abducted and hidden here. An underground arsenal was recently discovered, containing a large amount of weapons. Only the artillery was not discovered. "

After Xia Shouzhong was stunned for a moment, he shouted in a high voice: "Come here, take over the scene. Everyone will be searched when they go out. No straw is allowed to be taken out."

A battalion of five hundred dragon guards dispersed quickly. Some blocked the exits on all sides and surrounded the house, while the other entered the house and took over everything.

Xia Shouzhong did not forget to say to Mr. Liao: "It involves conspiracy, and I have offended him."

Lord Liao had a bitter look on his face: "That's right. If you need my cooperation, please tell me."

Xia Shouzhong smiled bitterly and said: "When we came, the people from Shuntian Mansion were making excuses not to go, and our family was still laughing at them in our hearts. Now, our family really envy them."

What can Mr. Liao say? Nothing can be said. Every time a case of rebellion is involved, Lieutenant Long will show his fangs. It reminds me of that notorious institution during Taizu's reign. I don't know how many civil servants privately cursed Taizu as another Zhu Yuanzhang, and cursed the Li family dynasty as a short-lived ghost.

After finally suppressing it, another conspiracy case occurred during the period of the Supreme Empress, and Long Jinwei was once again running around in the streets. Looking at the past ten years, Long Jinwei's momentum has been completely suppressed, and another conspiracy case has occurred.

It really cost me my life!
Xia Shouzhong was also numb. This was a serious and important case, and he couldn't handle it. He could only investigate it first.

The key point is that Lieutenant Long has neglected his duty. With such a den in the capital, Lieutenant Long would not notice any signs.

"Master Jia, I'm begging you, can you please stop causing trouble in the future? Your reputation as a disaster star is basically confirmed." Xia Shouzhong is really a little afraid of Jia Lian. Look at you. How many things have been caused.

When you were studying in those days, the things you caused could overthrow the chief minister. When you were studying in the Imperial College, you also caused troubles and alarmed the Shuntian Mansion. After living in peace for a while, you went to the Ministry of Industry to observe the government. As a result, the minister fell. Taking into account what happened today, who dares to think about the future.

Of course, Jia Lian did not want to bear a bad reputation, and defended decisively: "The difference between what Mr. Xia said is that the problem already exists, and it is just that I encountered it. I would like to ask Mr. Xia, which incident did I take the initiative to cause trouble? It is obvious that I am the victim. When will the theory of victim guilt prevail? There should always be a place for reason in the world, right? If the world is unreasonable, people will be in chaos, and the world will be in chaos."

A barrage of reasoning hit him, and Xia Shouzhong was so dizzy that he shook his head and said: "You are the number one scholar, and we can't compare with you. Go and explain to your majesty. Just in time, I brought the two royal censors together to meet you. Speak clearly."

This pot is too big, Xia Shouzhong must pull everything he can.

In Qianqing Palace, Emperor Chenghui just woke up from a rare nap and was in good spirits. Qiu Shian walked in quickly, stepped forward and bowed: "Your Majesty, something big has happened." Emperor Chenghui didn't care: "It's a big thing, there can be big things. Jia Lian was assassinated? It’s a joke. There can’t be a case of rebellion, right?”

Qiu Shian looked at Emperor Chenghui blankly!
Emperor Chenghui: Wocao, my crow’s mouth!
