Chapter 689 Fengyang comes to make trouble

In the evening, outside the corner door of Yongchang Houfu, the car and hanging curtain were raised, and the gloomy middle-aged man bowed out. As soon as he entered the door, he heard the report of the welcoming servant, and the waiter asked him to go to the study immediately.

This man is Yan Changjiu, a bachelor of the Hanlin Academy today, and the reason why he died was that the Empress Dowager saw it today. After the empress dowager saw it, he learned that after the marriage of Su and Chen, it was all the empress dowager's helpless. Especially when the empress dowager edicted the eldest princess to enter the palace, she painstakingly explained that day the six women were on the saint. When she personally expressed her willingness to marry into the Chen family, the emperor immediately decided to take advantage of the hot iron. When she could not find an excuse to refute the grievances, the eldest princess said lightly, "I have always understood the grievances of the fifth sister-in-law" and refused to mention this.

The Empress Dowager was very distressed - she interced with Chen Liulang first, but later made trouble for the Chen family to "go out of the line" and could not return the Geng post. The officials's wife of Qin Tianjian's "leashes out" caused rumors everywhere. When she saw Huang's mother and daughter, they were married on the same day. Not to mention that the eldest princess would suspect that it was tricky, the empress dowager herself. They all felt that there was no argument. She knew a little about the temperament of the eldest princess. If there was no grudge, she would be outspoken. This lukewarm attitude was enough to show that there was a gap.

Bacheyan also tried to communicate with the Duke of Wei today. Duke Wei did not say anything, but his attitude was far less enthusiastic than before. Obviously, there are also some feelings. Su and Yan can also be regarded as good families. After many years of affection, they still can't escape this scene.

The charges on the two nephews of the Yan family have not been cleared. Although some of the officials led by Chen's leadership, those attacks against the Yan family still can't be resisted. At this juncture, if the Duke of Wei is estranged from the Yan family, it will undoubtedly affect the attitude of a group of distinguished eunuchs. How can Yan not die?

He thought that his father invited him to the study today in order to save the relationship with the Su family. He straightened out those ideas all the way, and he felt uncertain, so his sad face remained until the time of courtesy. As soon as he was there, he saw that his father was also a sad face, even dark. Burning.

Yongchang waited for his sleeves and pointed to the chair to let his son sit down, but he paced back and forth with his hands behind his back. After a long time, he organized his words, pressed the case and supported himself, and said solemnly: "Today, a stranger came to the door and claimed to have come to Fengyang Mansion. The porter saw that he did not even prepare a famous post, and his attitude was arrogant, so he only returned to the stew. Knowing that this man claimed that he could save the Yan family from water and fire, he wanted to see me. The stewman couldn't make up his mind and only said to Qiong'er. The man saw that Qiong'er was just a descendant, but he only said that he knew Cao Da's whereabouts and went away.

"Does this man know the whereabouts of Cao Da?" Bachelor Yan was shocked.

"If you can say Cao Da, you must know something inside." Yongchang Houchang sighed: "Qionn'er is young and worried about things. Seeing that the man is arrogant, he thought he was going to blackmail money. Not only did she not keep anyone, but she didn't even ask where his name was, let alone followed him."

Bachelor Yan probably also knew that his eldest son, a literati, sighed and said silently for a while: "Since this man has intended to contact, he is bound to come again. His son will tell the porter not to neglect him. If this person really knows the whereabouts of Cao Da, Tingyi's grievances are expected to be cleared."

Yan Tingyi is Changjiu's cousin. He was originally a judge in Chuzhou under Fengyang. It was this time that he was impeached for "corrupt and delinquent" because of commercial entanglement. The case was originally simple, and Yan Tingyi completed it without much effort. After being sentenced to death and handed over to the Ministry of Criminal Justice for review, unexpectedly, the defendant went to Fengyang to sue Yan Tingyi for taking bribes and defiling the good people. He did not know where to find the evidence. He insisted that Yan Tingyi had secretly contacted the plaintiff, and even carefully inquired about the exact amount of bribes that the plaintiff had given to Yan Tingyi. The amount was clear, which one was deposited. The private seal of the silver bill of exchange is clear.

At this time, the face value of silver bills exchanged on the market without relying on the seal is not large. Generally, large piles of money can only be redeemed by relying on the private seal agreed in advance by the depositor and the silver number. The bribery of "buying people's life" cannot be only three or five hundred taels, so bribers generally do not use silver bills to use bills.

After being prosecuted, he immediately began to investigate. Yan Tingyi admitted that he was innocent, but he was found guilty in his house - as the prosecutor said, the amount of the bill was no different from the private seal.

Now Yan Tingyi can't argue - the bill and private seal were searched and checked from his house, but the box for storing the criminal evidence was not his belongings, but a relative of his wife's family. Originally, he was also serving as a county magistrate in the county under the jurisdiction of Tuzhou. Because in office, he had to return to Beijing to wait for the transfer order. There were several boxes of books that were inconvenient to take away and temporarily stored. At Yan's house, Yan's wife was a cautious policeman. At that time, she also asked the stewservant to open the boxes one by one, draw up a list, and added a blockade.

The two families are originally relatives. Even if it is for the sake of property disputes, it is prudent to draw up a list face to face, and they will never look through them one by one, but the criminal evidence is pressed under one of the boxes of books!

Cao Da was the stewmer of the Yan wife's in-laws family. The storage box was sent by him. After the crime, the Yan wife's family was naturally affected. When asked, Cao Da was no longer seen - after arranging the storage of the things in the house, he did not go to Kyoto to meet the master's family as promised.

Although the official of Yan's party insists that someone is trying to frame the goods, Cao Da, the main witness, has not been arrested, and Yan Tingyi's suspicion can never be cleared. Even if the Empress Dowager protects her, she is still temporarily removed from office for trial.

This case has not been settled, and Bachelor Yan has always been criticized for "protecting the clan" and "not governing the family strictly". Although it is not a major crime, it is concluded that he is naturally not qualified to lead the position of Hanlin Bachelor, which is very unfavorable to the Empress Dowager.

At this time, someone suddenly said that there was a trace of Cao at hand. No wonder Yongchang waited for so much attention.

But beyond the expectation of the strict bachelor, the mysterious man did not come to the door again. After leaving that sentence, there was no news. Yongchang waited for more and more anxious. When he was further clarified, the man's ordinary clothes did not look like a rich man, and his accent was also obviously different from the local people in Kyoto, so he guessed that he should have settled in the inn. Arrange the servant of the government to inquire secretly, because his grandson Guanqiong had met the man, and this task was mainly given to him. He had been looking for nearly ten days in Kyoto, but there was no trace.

Guan Qiong is also getting anxious.

On that day, the man came to the door, and his words and behavior were very arrogant. He only thought that he was a scoundrel and had the intention to blackmail him. After being taught by his father, he knew that he was too careless and made up for his achievements. These days, he encouraged himself to search for it, and it was all useless. He was inevitably frustrated. After a long time, he was in the West City. After insuching, he suddenly met his classmates at the time of Guozijian, who were dragged to a wine shop and chatted with him.

Shortly after sitting down, I saw a man in a blue-gray robe coming up on the wooden ladder, drinking and running to the hall, making the tea and arrogant tone of the floor, which attracted many people's attention.

This place was originally a frequent visitor, which was not comparable to those noisy restaurants. Few people were so arrogant. Yan Guanqiong was naturally attracted attention and stared at the guests with dissatisfied eyes. Unexpectedly, he also got up and was so excited that he almost knocked over the chair.

There is no place to find when stepping on iron shoes - this person is not someone else, but an uninvited guest who worries the Yan family.

Guan Qiong was excited and didn't have time to explain it to her companions. A few arrows rushed to the "blue and gray robe" and didn't care about setting up the scholar's airs. She bowed and said first, "I neglected my feet last time", and asked someone to go back to the house to talk about it in detail. Unexpectedly, the man did not forget to be arrogant, sneered and brushed his sleeves, and said, "Since your house is a dog Seeing people low, there is no need to say "please" at the top and sarcasm.

Yan Guanqiong was angry, but because she was worried about the overall situation, she had to put up with it and whispered down.

The man did not soften, raised his feet and left.

Guan Qiong was anxious and started to hold her clothes, but she was pushed away by the man and sneered away.

Guan Qiong would let go and chased after him, completely forgetting a group of classmates.

Not only did the classmates look at each other, but there were also many people who knew the king of Yongchang Houfu in the hall, and they also quietly discussed, guessing how the head of the mansion, Fang Longsun, could "entangle" such a rough and open scounding scolding and not fighting back.

After Guan Qiong chased him out, although he was not taken care of by the man, he finally found out that his place of residence was actually a rented house nearby. The owner got the benefits of Yan Jialangjun and leaked the name on the man's road, called Wu Ji, which was indeed from Fengyang Mansion.

When Yan's parents heard about this, their hearts hung in the air and fell in half of their hearts. Yongchang waited for a while. After all, they let their second son prepare a generous gift and officially visited him the next day. Unexpectedly, they didn't know that the man still didn't buy it. He said that he was really difficult to dispel his anger when he was neglected last time. If he didn't go to the door of the Yan family again, if Yongchang Hou really knew the whereabouts of Cao Da, three days later Only when he put a seat in the Sihai Pavilion of Ping'an Square can he believe in the sincerity of Yongchanghou.

This man is a "unemployed vagrant", but he wants Yongchang to wait for a banquet in person, which is really crazy. However, Yongchang Hou can't care too much to solve the family's urgent needs. Three days later, he went to the Sihai Pavilion and booked a particularly luxurious elegant room to show his sincerity. Unexpectedly, the man refused to give up. He insisted on sitting in the hall and shouting in public that he was afraid of Yong Changhou Mansion killed people and killed people!

Yongchanghou understood why Guan Qiong concluded that this person was a ruffian on that day and refused to ask any more questions.

There are many people in the lobby, so it is naturally difficult for Yongchang to ask about Cao Da. He only ordered a table of good wine and good dishes to accompany Wu Ji.

Even so, the public waited to please a commoner, and the commoner still had such a crazy strange thing, which was still cited as anecdotes and whispered by the guests present.

And Yu Yu, the king of Chu, paid attention to this matter as early as when the Yan family searched for Fengyang visitors in private. His ears and eyes had followed Yan Guanqi for a period of time. Yan Guanqi and Wu Ji happened to meet in the West City and could not hide it from him.

Yu Yu's understanding of Wu Ji is even further than that of Yongchanghou.

Of course, it is to use the resources of the Five Righteous League in Wei Ran's hand to inquire carefully. Since Tianchawei was "taken" by the Empress Dowager, it is difficult to pass through this institution.

Wu Ji is indeed a person from Fengyang, and he is indeed an idler in the market. He makes a living by putting some small profits for a living. For some reason, he suddenly came to Jinyang.

"What do you think?" Yu Yu asked Wei Ran.

"Wu Ji was obviously bought. If he really had Cao Da's whereabouts, he would not be so arrogant. If he really solved the Yan family's urgent needs, he was bound to be rewarded with heavy profits. How could he be so arrogant? Obviously, he was instructed and had the intention to make trouble." Wei Ran frowned slightly: "This Wu Ji embarrassed Yongchang Houfu in public. I'm afraid he won't live long."

Yu Yu nod with satisfaction: "The key is whose hand he will die."

In short, it will not be Yongchang Houfu.

"Once Wu Ji dies, Yongchang Houfu is bound to be suspected, but what does this have to do with the Duke of Wei? No matter how great the ability of Chen and Qin is, it is impossible to buy the cronies of the Duke of Wei. If you buy a family, it will be difficult to implicate them. Wei Ran was puzzled.

Since the empress dowager gave the marriage, the eldest princess and the Duke of Wei also expected that their opponents would follow. They were very careful of the domestic servants and staff, and the close old department was also reminded of "be careful". Generally speaking, there are not many opportunities to be seen by the gap.

However, the so-called Baimi and sparse was unpreventable, and Yu Yu found that his father-in-law was still missing.

He just takes others by himself. If he wants to do this conspiracy, he will choose which one to target.

Yu Yu was about to explain, but suddenly covered his forehead with his hand and half bent his arm on the desk.

"Is the prince feeling dizzy again?" Wei Ran was quickly concerned.

After several breaths, Yu Yan slowly rubbed his eyebrows with his palm. When he moved away, his cheeks were quite pale.

Wei Ran didn't ask much and pulled his wrist to see him.

A moment later, when he saw Wei Ran frowned and said nothing, Yu asked, "How is it?"

He held the thinner palm slightly, his knuckles became more and more prominent, and the blue veins on the back of his hand were clearly visible.

"Surely, the prince should not think too much." After Wei Ran finished speaking, he sighed helplessly. At this jux, it was not easy to calm down and maintain it.

"Jiang Han's medical skills are very advanced. Why don't you let him take care of him for a long time?" Wei Ran said again.

Yu Yu has put down his slightly curly sleeves and smiled faintly at the corners of his lips: "I have persuaded Jiang Han that he will work in the imperial hospital recently."

After saying that, he got up. Although his pace was slow and steady, Wei Ran still frowned when he saw it.

"Where is the prince going?" He asked.

"I intend to follow the doctor's advice." Yu Wei picked up the brocade curtain: "Take a rest in the morning."
