Reborn in the last years of Kangxi

Chapter 86
Shuntian Mansion Yamen is located on Gulou North Street, not too far from Cao Mansion. Cao Yong and others will arrive there in a quarter of an hour on horseback.

Cao Yong was somewhat curious about Shi Qingtian Shi Buquan, who was widely recited by later generations, but when he saw the deity in the lobby, he really didn't have the mind to look at him carefully.

I don't know if it was accompanied by Prince Ping, or the good upbringing of the son of Cao Yong's family is fully revealed-the etiquette is thorough, the words are decent, and he is not the dude that Shi Shilun hates.Shi Shilun's attitude was quite peaceful, he only asked about the details seriously, and the master recorded it.

Shi Shilun Kangxi entered the official career in 24 years, and has been in office for more than 20 years. Most of the time he has been a local chief official, and he has some experience in judging various cases.There were eight criminals who attacked Cao Song. In addition to two people who were killed on the spot and two who escaped, four people were captured. When Shi Shilun came up, he gave them a hard meal first, and then interrogated them. They couldn't hold on long ago Hit, honestly use all the tricks.

They really came prepared, and their goal was to weave Cao Yin's two sons in Jiangning.

After reading this confession, Shi Shilun understood a little bit in his heart. He guessed that the murderer hated Cao Yin to the bone and wanted to cut off his heirs, so he would do such a vicious act, so he didn't It is difficult for Cao Yong and others.

Naersu heard that the other party had recruited, so he hurriedly asked for details, but Shi Shilun didn't intend to hide it, so he asked the master to tell them.

This group of thugs was originally a group of rogues in Tongzhou, and its leader was Wan Jiu—one of the two people who was shot dead on the spot.Wan Jiu was born as a butcher, with a bit of brute force, he gathered a group of mobsters, wandered among the market, made a living by collecting protection money or seeking vengeance and debt collection for others, and gradually broke out in Tongzhou. some names.

Seven days ago, through some unknown channel, Wan Jiu took over a big deal and received 1000 taels of deposit alone.The other party requested that it can be counted as one or two, because he asked Wan Jiu to kill the two sons of Cao Yin weaving in Jiangning, and also said that Cao's eldest son was in the capital and the second son was in Jiangning, and promised that every time he killed one, Then pay 3000 taels of silver.

Wan Jiu and the others felt that Jiang Ning was far away, and they were a little uncertain. "A strong dragon does not overwhelm a local snake", it is not safe enough to go to someone's territory to kill someone's son.So, I decided to go to Beijing and deal with Cao's eldest son first.

After two days of inquiring in the capital, knowing that the second son of the Cao family came to the capital a few days ago, everyone was secretly delighted, this is what they want, and there is nothing more desirable.

The large plaque of the Earl's Mansion hanging high above the gate of Cao's house still made Wan Jiu and the others a little bit scrupulous.They didn't know what the rank of the earl was, but they also began to worry when they looked at the ten-meter-high courtyard wall and the stout porter.On a moonlit night with few stars, they climbed up the courtyard wall, looking at the layers of courtyards, they were immediately dumbfounded.As a result, the movement caused the dog to bark, and several people ran away in fright.

When they found out that Cao's eldest son was the imperial bodyguard, Wan Jiu and the others stared at him even more.They haven't seen the imperial guards before, but who doesn't know the imperial cat Zhan Zhao in "Bao Gong Biography"?What kind of skill does it have to be able to serve in front of the emperor?Just relying on the skills of their three-legged cats, how can they be opponents.

In the past few days in Beijing, apart from inquiring around Cao's mansion, these brothers have been spending their days, drinking, eating and drinking, and they are spending their money to their heart's content.Therefore, if they return to Tongzhou empty-handed like this, how can they be reconciled?Killing one would cost 3000 taels of silver, even if the big one couldn't be beaten by the imperial guards, but the little one was just a brat, wouldn't he still be able to kill it?So like this, they focused on Cao Song.In order to be prepared, they also obtained a pack of gunpowder through the friends they met in the past few days.He thought that if he missed, he could use gunpowder to create chaos and escape.

Today, those who watched Cao Song in the Cao Mansion saw Cao Song going out with the female relatives, so they followed behind.When it was almost noon, when Baoya sent someone to Taoranju to order food, the people who were being followed heard.These people went to Yijian Teahouse diagonally opposite Tao Ranju to wait in advance, and attacked when the crowd came.

The more barefooted the more daring, a few third-rate gangsters under the heavy reward, simply made a lame plan, and the introduction of gunpowder in the clumsy performance greatly enhanced the lethality, leading to the current situation.

After the master told the story, Cao Yong didn't say a word, and Naersu said first: "If you die in ten thousand, the person who bought the murderer will not know. However, if the culprit is not eliminated for a day, the younger brother will be in danger for one more day. And Mr. Lao Shi bothered, Bringing the culprit to justice as soon as possible will save me from worrying about it."

Shi Shilun said: "Your Majesty's words are serious. My government has already overlooked such a big case at the foot of the emperor. This government should write an apology. It is my duty to close the case as soon as possible. Please rest assured."

Cao Yong saw that it was meaningless to continue, so he saluted at the moment: "My lord." After a pause, he said, "I am deeply disturbed to hear that someone died innocently. Although human life cannot be exchanged for money, the deceased has passed away. Well, the living still need pensions. The Cao family is willing to pay the pension money, and everything is determined by the adults."

When Shi Shilun heard this, he couldn't help but nodded secretly. This person is a man of benevolence, righteousness and responsibility, and said: "This government will deal with it fairly."

Brothers Wei Hei, Wei Bai and the other two guards of the royal palace injured people because they fought back in self-defense, and they were protected by King Pingjun, so they were not sentenced to prison, but were released in court, and they left the court together with Na Ersu and Cao Yong Cao Song.

Before the crowd had left the yamen courtyard, a group of people came in, crying and shouting. The leader was a middle-aged fat woman covered in gold and silver, and covered half of her round face with a handkerchief. The other half of the face was already stained with tears and stained with make-up, soap and white mixed with green and red, and it was bluffing at first glance.

The group of people cried and howled all the way, "Master Qingtian, you have to decide for us..." and ran straight to the lobby without beating the drums to express their grievances.

There are already many cases in the yamen, and everyone has their own thoughts, so they don't care about those people.After leaving the gate of the yamen, the long attendants brought their horses over. They were just about to get on their horses when there was a commotion inside the door, and it was the fat woman and her group who were forked out by a group of yamen servants.

The fat woman was pushed and shoved by the yamen servant, and cursed: "You are blind, how dare you drive my old lady out?! What are you..." Before she finished speaking, she was pushed hard by the yamen servant, and she stumbled Get out and fall on the street.

The two little servant girls hurried over to help, who knew that although the woman was fat, she was also very dexterous, she got up by herself, and she didn't bother to brush off the dust on her skirt, she immediately cursed: " You bastard, how many heads dare to push my old lady? Blind your dog eyes! Go around Beijing and ask, who doesn't know that my man is from the son of Jiubei! My old lady moved her little finger and told you to break into pieces, I told you You, Master Jiubei, that is..."

A group of attendants brought by the woman hurried over, covered her mouth, and left after fighting.Far away, maybe the follower let go, and heard the woman's sharp voice yelling and cursing, with vicious words, and then it was Jiu Ye who was long and Jiu Ye who was short.Soon he was gagged again, and there was no more sound.

Na Ersu showed a sarcastic smile, looked at Cao Yong, each got on their horses, but Cao Song was quite curious, and looked over there, and couldn't help saying: "This is really a shrew, I don't know this nine..." Before he finished speaking, Naersu slapped his smooth forehead lightly. He looked up and saw that his brother-in-law and elder brother had serious expressions on their faces.

Na Ersu came out for half a day, fearing that Fujin would miss him, after leaving the Yamen of Shuntian Mansion, he gave Cao Yong a few words and went back with his guards.

Cao Yong asked the Wei family brothers to make sure that the two were not injured, so he was relieved, and then thanked the two for saving Cao Song's life.

The brothers of the Wei family were originally from the Jianghu, and this was the first time they had fought since entering Cao's mansion, and they were somewhat excited.Under the influence of the two, Cao Song was able to talk and laugh happily about the experience at noon.

Back at Cao's mansion, Cao Yong saw that the Wei brothers were in a mess, so he asked them to go back to the room to change clothes and freshen up, and then ordered someone to order the kitchen to fix a table of banquets in the evening, so as to suppress the surprise for the two brothers.

In the hall, Zhuang Xi was waiting. Seeing Brother Cao Yong come back, he hurriedly asked, "What did the yamen say? Do you have any clues?"

Just as Cao Yong was about to answer, the concierge came to inform that the two young masters from the Earl's House of Yongwu had come.

Cao Yong hurriedly asked Cao Song to tell Mr. Zhuang what he had just learned from the Yamen, and he went out to pick up the two guests.

The two brothers Yongqing and Yongsheng were wearing plain clothes and standing at the gate of Cao's residence.The two brothers are tall and mighty, and the other is gentle and refined, but at the moment they both have worried expressions on their faces.

"Brother Shanyu, Brother Yongsheng!" Cao Yong greeted with some guilt.

Before Yongqing opened his mouth, Yongsheng asked first: "I heard that someone was assassinated and the carriage overturned. How is Baogege? How is my sister? Is there any injury?"

"Baogege is fine, but Lingmei injured her arm and is recuperating in the mansion!" Cao Yong replied.

"Injured your arm? What's the matter with your Cao family? Why are you so unlucky if you get infected..." Yongsheng said angrily.

"Second brother, don't be rude!" Seeing that his younger brother's words became more and more impolite, Yongqing hurriedly stopped.

"Where did I say something wrong?" Although Yongsheng was annoyed, after muttering something, he finally closed his mouth.

*
The Palace of the Earl of Valor, the main room.

Wan Jiha was sitting on the kang, raised by Ding You in the mansion for half a year, and his stature has become much richer.He hummed Kunqu opera and sipped a cup of Tieguanyin calmly.

A woman in her forties was walking around on the ground. She was Wan Jiha's wife and the biological mother of the three Yongqing brothers and sisters, Princess Fuhui.Seeing her husband's leisurely and contented appearance, she couldn't help feeling a little annoyed, and walked to the edge of the kang and sat down: "Don't hum, my daughter doesn't know what's going on yet, why are you so careless as a father? Jia is so filial to you every day!"

Wan Jiha smiled and replied: "My dear wife, don't worry! It's been a long time since Tao Ranju's accident happened. If there is something wrong with Yongjia, someone from Prince Ping's Mansion and Cao's House would have reported it a long time ago!"

"If it's all right, then why is Bao girl lying like this? She also brought us Yongjia to the Cao Mansion!" Princess Fuhui was puzzled.

"There are no big things, but minor injuries are inevitable! Baogege is the strongest, taking Yongjia away and hurting her, he must be ashamed to see us, thinking about raising her for two days before sending her back!" Wan Jiha said.

"Yongjia is injured!" Princess Fuhui stood up suddenly: "No, Yongqing is stupid, and Yongsheng has always respected Bao girl. How can the two brothers take Yongjia back? I'm going to Cao's house! "

"What are you going to pick up?" Wan Jiha frowned and said, "You really want your daughter to become an old maid, otherwise this marriage will not work out."

"Our Yongjia is the concubine's daughter of the Earl's Mansion, how could we get married at will?" Princess Fuhui asked back with raised eyebrows.

"Yongjia delayed this draft because of her filial piety, and she will be over the age in three years! Originally, I wanted to let Yongjia take part in this year's draft, so let's entrust people with activities in the palace and outside the palace to point to which palace Even if it’s not as good as Yongning, it’s not too far behind. Who would have thought that it’s just in time for Ama’s filial piety!” Wan Jiha sighed: “When the filial piety period expires, Yongjia will be nearly twenty. Finding a good match is not easy!"

Princess Fuhui heard her husband's intentions and quickly shook her head: "How can the Cao family do it? The Cao family is from Baoyi. Although the flag is raised now, it still doesn't match!"

"Women's opinion!" Wan Jiha glanced at the cup of Tieguanyin on the kang table: "Even if the Cao family was born as a slave, they are still slaves of the Lord Long Live! Eight banners, which one is not a slave of Long Live? Although the Cao family can't say yes The wealth is incomparable, but I am afraid that it is much more solid than ordinary palaces. The shortfall of three to four million yuan has been repaid by nearly half in three or two years. It is bigger than the two villages in our mansion. Cao Yong’s name was bestowed by the Lord Long Live. I heard that he personally celebrated Cao Yong’s birthday outside the Great Wall. The grace of carrying the flag is the gift of his 400th birthday. Lord Long Live The most nostalgic love, Cao Yong is the beloved grandson of Mrs. Fengsheng and the beloved son of Cao Yin, so he loves him like a nephew. If such a person becomes Yongjia's son-in-law, our family will be in the house of Long Live God The weight in my heart has to be a little heavier!"
