The first-class concubine of the Song Dynasty

Chapter 50

After King Jin returned to the Kaifeng mansion, he expressed the emperor's worries. After Su watched and listened to it, he couldn't help but smile and said, "My lord, His Majesty's worries are completely superfluous. There are many pros and cons in the world, so let's take the situation in my territory of the Song Dynasty as the basis." The same is true for business. As long as the advantages outweigh the disadvantages, everything is feasible."

The King of Jin frowned slightly, and said: "In that case, let's bring this matter up to the King tomorrow morning."

Su looked and thought for a while, and said: "My lord can look at the situation according to the situation, because the subordinates just got the news that after the lord left the palace, the Holy Majesty called Zhao Pu into the palace, presumably because of this matter, Zhao Pu's intelligence is in the The whole Da Song can be counted, he should be able to see the essence."

After saying this, King Jin was relieved, but at this time, he discovered that Liu Wei was not in Kaifeng Mansion. Su Tong saw this and said, "Master Liu has already left, but he left a letter for the prince, saying The prince must be delighted after reading the letter."

"Oh, what the hell is this willow flavor?" Jin Wang said, but he also took the letter and opened it with a smile. After reading it, he was really happy, and said: "This willow flavor is really generous. The formula for refining refined salt has been left behind, with this formula, why is the world uneven?"

Su Another saw that what Liu Wei left behind was the formula for refining refined salt, and he couldn't help being surprised: "My lord, this formula is of great importance and is extremely valuable. Liu Wei gave it to the lord so casually, it's not just Generous."

King Jin nodded, he naturally knew the importance of this recipe, and Liu Wei gave it to him so casually, which shows that he is still very loyal to him.

"Mr. Su, Liu Wei understands righteousness so well, we have to be kind, what benefits do you think we should give him?"

Su Another looked at him with a slight smile: "My lord, righteousness is hidden deep in my heart, but usually showing kindness seems stingy, we might as well wait until Liu Wei really needs it, and then make a move, although it will make people feel ruthless at first, but when he understands When you come here, you will definitely feel happy.”

This is Su's philosophy of life. Helping others when they are in crisis, if it is only icing on the cake, will make people look down on them. Only those who give charcoal in a timely manner can show their true feelings.

King Jin nodded after listening to what Su had read, and said, "Mr. Su is right. If that's the case, let Liu Wei be disappointed for a while."

After Liu Wei left Kaifeng Mansion, he planned to go to the Liu Family Winery. As for the matter discussed by King Jin and Su, he didn't care about it, and he didn't think too much about it. It was not without purpose to give the formula for refining refined salt to King Jin of.

Liu Wei knew that the king of Jin had great ambitions, and he could inherit the great rule in the future, so it would be impossible if he didn't please in advance. Moreover, refining refined salt was a benefit to the people of the Song Dynasty. Although Liu Wei liked money, he didn't He doesn't want to use this kind of thing related to the national economy and the people's livelihood to make money, and the secret recipe for refining refined salt is a hidden danger. If only he knows it, it is really a dangerous thing, and it will easily arouse the suspicion of those in power. In any case, he must Give the secret recipe.

Of course, dedicating it to King Jin is to dedicating it to the current emperor, because King Jin will definitely give the secret recipe to Zhao Kuangyin. King Jin is a smart person, and he should be able to think of the danger of holding the secret recipe alone.Although the current Holy Majesty is kind and trusts King Jin, when it comes to the emperor's family and country, who really thinks about family affection?

When Liu Wei thought this way, the carriage had already arrived at the Liu Family Winery. The winery was busy as usual, but when Liu Wei got off the carriage and just stepped into the winery, Liu Quan hurried over from the inside, Seeing how anxious he is, it's even worse than yesterday.

When Liu Quan rushed out, he lowered his head slightly, and he didn't see Liu Wei until he was almost at the door. After seeing Liu Wei, the loyal old servant suddenly knelt down to Liu Wei, and burst into tears.

Liu Wei was startled, and was a little dazed for a moment. Although Liu Quan was an old servant, he had always respected him, so it was the first time that he knelt down so suddenly.

"Master, you must help this old servant, old servant..." Liu Quan couldn't help crying again as he spoke.

Liu Wei helped Liu Quan up, and said, "Uncle Liu, what happened, why are you so sad? What do you want me to help you with? With the relationship between you and me, why should I help you, Liu Uncle's business is my business."

Liu Wei spoke very well, because in his opinion, Liu Quan was worthy of his full talk, because this old man was loyal and someone Liu Wei could absolutely trust.

After Liu Quan got up, he wiped away the tears from the corners of his eyes, and said in a choked voice: "Young Master, this old servant's wife died early, and he didn't leave a son and a half daughter. Only my second brother left a son in our lineage." , named Liu Yi, he came to the capital from Weizhou yesterday, the old slave knew that he had never been to the capital, so he gave him some money to go shopping in the street, but he never thought about it, so something happened .”

Liu Wei knew that Liu Quan had a nephew, but at this moment he still didn't understand, how could something happen to Liu Yi while shopping?
"Uncle Liu, tell me slowly, what's going on?"

Liu Quan nodded repeatedly, and then continued: "Last night, when Liu Yi didn't come back, the old slave thought he was just having fun and forgot about it, but just now a yamen servant came to inform that Liu Yi committed a crime and was locked up in the yamen of the punishment department. When the old servant heard about the mention of the punishment office, he immediately panicked, and was about to discuss with the young master what to do, and the young master came back."

As he said that, Liu Quan couldn't help wiping away his tears again, and Liu Wei was even more surprised, what did Liu Yi do to be imprisoned in the yamen for criminal punishment?As far as Liu Wei knows, the Criminal Prosecution Division is mainly responsible for reviewing state files and has the power to impeach. Among them, the most famous criminal prosecution officer is Song Ci, a forensic doctor. However, the Criminal Prosecution Division's main duty is to supervise, so why is it arresting people today? What about people?

"Do you know what Liu Yi committed?"

Liu Quan shook his head: "The yamen servant didn't say anything, he just told the old slave that he can go to the prison for inspection."

Hearing what Liu Quan said, Liu Wei thought for a while, and then said: "In that case, the two of us should go to the Yamen of the Criminal Division."
-
In the Song Dynasty, the yamen of the Mentoring Division had great authority, and they could investigate the prisons in all counties and counties across the country at any time, even the Kaifeng Prefecture in the capital city, they could check them at will.

The present envoy and deputy envoy are Cai Ti and Gongsun Yang respectively. Liu Wei met the third-rank envoy Cai Ti at the palace banquet on the night of the Mid-Autumn Festival. He is a tall, middle-aged man. He looks extremely handsome, with a white face and no beard, but it gives people a feeling of emotion and anger, and Liu Wei has never talked to him.

Today, I came to the prison of the Criminal Division Yamen, because I just saw Liu Yi, so Liu Wei didn't mention his identity, but entered the prison according to the procedures for relatives of prisoners.

The prison in the prison of the criminal justice department was very dirty, but because it was late autumn, it didn't smell as bad as in summer. When the two saw Liu Yi, Liu Yi had a bruised nose and swollen face, and his expression was extremely sad. Liu Quan saw that his nephew was killed by someone. After fighting like this, he suddenly became sad, and ran over again and again: "Yi'er, are you okay?"

Liu Yi is a thin young man, giving off a sense of shrewdness, but at this time because of the injury on his cheek, he didn't dare to show a serious expression. When he saw Liu Quan and Liu Wei, he quickly knelt down for Liu Wei: "Master, save me!" , I... I don't want to die."

Liu Wei frowned slightly, and said, "Liu Yi, I'm here to ask you, how did you end up in the Prison of the Criminal Division?"

"Young master, the young one is also out of luck. I came to the capital city yesterday to wander the streets, but found that my money bag was missing on the way. It was all my savings, so I searched for it on the street. At this time, I found my money bag. The bag was hanging on a person, and the younger one was very angry when he saw the money bag and the thief, so without saying a word, he rushed forward and punched the person, and then...then the younger one was caught. "

Hearing Liu Yi's words, Liu Wei frowned slightly. He felt that Liu Yi's words had logical problems. Why was he locked in after punching the thief? There must be something wrong with it.

"Liu Yi, if you want my son-in-law to save you, you'd better tell the truth, otherwise I won't be able to save you."

Hearing what Liu Wei said, Liu Yi panicked immediately: "Young Master, help me, everything the little one said is true, but the person who stole the villain's money bag is an old man in his 50s, the little one only concealed this, the other It's not a lie."

"Then let me ask you, why did you beat the thief, but you were arrested?"

"The little one didn't know that there was another person beside the old man, who was tall and fat. After the old man was knocked to the ground by the little one's punch, the man subdued the little one without saying a word, and then sent him here Come on, what's going on, the little one doesn't know!"

Strange, after listening to Liu Yi's words, Liu Wei just felt strange, why Liu Yi beat the thief who stole his purse and was caught in the prison office?Furthermore, how could that old man in his 50s steal Liu Yi's purse?Also, how could that tall and fat man casually send Liu Yi to the criminal prison?

The prison of the criminal department usually detains officials who are at fault in the prisons of various states and counties. Liu Yi may not be qualified to be imprisoned.

Seeing Liu Wei pondering and not speaking, Liu Quan thought that the matter was difficult, so he knelt down to Liu Wei suddenly: "Master, Yi'er is the only one in our lineage, please save him no matter what, as long as he If the young master can rescue him, the two of us will be sent by the young master from now on..."

Liu Quan wanted to continue talking, but Liu Wei suddenly helped Liu Quan up, and said: "Uncle Liu, you have helped the Liu Family Winery so much, and since Liu Yi is your nephew, how could I stand by and watch this matter, I I just thought things were strange, and I didn’t say no to help.”

"Then... the young master is sure to rescue Yi'er?"
