Are you stupid?

When the king of Jiayu County just left Beijing when he was young, he was in full bloom, full of stubbornness after being devastated, and with the aura of "leisure king", he was very attractive to many depressed scholars of.

After the counselor was admitted as a scholar, he tried repeatedly and failed. Seeing the depressed Jiayu County King, he immediately felt the guidance of fate.

The other party is depressed, and I am also depressed. If I can help the other party to climb the dragon chair, I will have the merits of being a dragon in my life, so what else is there to worry about?

The counselor poured out his heart and soul for the King of Jiayu, and he was responsible for all the arrangements in Shu.

If it weren't for this, the Jiayu County King would never have dared to come to the capital with just a few people, and now he still enjoys flowers and tea leisurely.

But besides helping a king, the most important thing for a counselor is to protect himself and prevent the tragedy of "the cunning rabbit dies and the dog cooks, and the bird hides with its bow".

The king of Jiayu County has always been generous to the people around him over the years. This kind of generosity is not only reflected in money, but also the sentence he often said, "You can do it with confidence."Because this kind of attitude of employing people without doubting others and not using others once made the counselors think that the lord of the world should be like this, but when he came to the capital, the "virtuous name" of the Jiayu County King in the past completely disappeared.

The suspicion and insidiousness hidden under the "magnanimity" are gradually revealed, making the counselor gradually begin to doubt his choice.

——Compared to the Jiayu County King who has no pity for the lives of the people, the little emperor who sits in the palace walls, clearly suspects that it is a conspiracy, and is willing to send people to govern the land of Shu and give the people a way to survive is more benevolent the Son of Heaven.

What's more, the king of Jiayu County said nicely that he was allowed to return to his hometown to take care of his old mother, but in reality?If he hadn't habitually guarded against anyone, now that the ox cart was loaded with belongings and returned home, and he prepared to make sure that he was safe before leaving, he might have died in Luoshui as a lonely ghost.

I really didn't expect that after helping the Jiayu County King for more than 20 years, in the end I would die if I didn't want to follow the Jiayu County King.

The counselor raised the wine bottle again and poured the spirits into his mouth.His hands trembled, the wine spilled all over his chest, finally unable to restrain his fear, he fell on the table and wailed loudly.

Sooner or later, the king of Jiayu County will find that there is no body in the ox cart, and he will look for him everywhere.

He already knows too many things about Jiayu County King, now he can hide in this small courtyard, what will happen in the future?Could it be that if the king of Jiayu County does not die for a day, does he hide like a mouse in the gutter for a day?

He can't even go back to his hometown now.

The counselor hid in the hut so sad that he couldn't speak, and this unusual "car accident" quickly attracted Jingzhao's attention.

Jing Zhao sat at the table and scratched his head, "There is only one driver and a lot of belongings in the salvaged ox cart?"

"Yeah, that's all. The coachman has a few ingots of silver hidden in his arms, and it looks like they were stolen from those boxes." The yamen servant also had a headache, and said to the household registration in the capital, "The man has been found, it's Dong The helper of the village, surnamed Zhang, because the family bought a new farm cow this year, the old one was vacated. He said that he had been raising it for more than ten years, and he took care of him more carefully than his own father. He couldn't bear to sell it when he was old. or slaughtered to eat meat, and simply do some work of hauling goods on weekdays to supplement the family."

"Old Zhangtou's son said that a middle-aged scribe with a beard suddenly asked his father to go overnight the night before to bring things back to Chengezhuang, more than 60 miles away in the suburbs of Beijing. Old Zhangtou didn't want to go, but It was only sixty miles away, but the other party paid three times the fare. Old man Zhang took the job without giving up the money, and died in the river. According to his son, old man Zhang often ran for two hundred miles around the capital, The old man Zhang didn't drink before he went out the night before, so it is impossible for him to slip and fall into the river."

Jing Zhao felt that his head hurt even more.

If it wasn't an accident, it could only be murder. Old man Zhang, a poor farmer, could have someone insist on killing him. It was obviously related to the boxes of goods on the ox cart.But it's useless to know that there is a relationship, they have to be able to find talents.

"Didn't the old man Zhang's son see the appearance of the scribe who came to book a car? There must be an explanation for what he looks like." Jing Zhao wished he could catch the troublemaker now.

The new king has changed the criteria for evaluating officials. In the past, the fewer people complained under the government of officials, the better the officials made. Now it has changed. No matter how many people sue the officials, as long as a case is in the hands of the government, the rate of solving the case must be judged.If the case is still unsolved in the hands of officials, the evaluation of officials will be greatly affected.Although the detection rate is not the only counter-insurgency standard for officials, who wants to be the one who can't do it?If it is because of such a little regret, it would be too unfair to be stepped down during the promotion.

"Old man Zhang's son said that the scribe was wearing a grapefruit-colored Taoist robe, with a goatee, short hair, a medium build, red phoenix eyes, a flat nose, and thin lips. He spoke in a soft voice, and looked not very energetic. That's it. There are not one thousand but eight hundred of this kind of appearance in the capital, where can I find it!"

"If you can't find it, you have to look for it—didn't the property be recovered? Just say looking for the owner. I don't believe it. There is really someone who is willing to leave such a large amount of money behind." Jing Zhao said fiercely, "Even if you dig three feet into the ground, you must find the owner."

The prince's mansion of Jiayu County is also not peaceful.

After the internal attendant posted the news outside the gate of Jingzhao Mansion in the ear of Jiayu County King, looking for the owner of a large sum of property, Jiayu County King's face was so gloomy that he could almost drip ink.

"He's not dead?"

"...not in the car at all."

The king of Jiayu County immediately shattered the tea bowl in his hand, and asked furiously, "Didn't you say that you must get things done? Now you can't even catch a middle-aged scholar who has tried and failed, and you still come back to speak out against Gu Yan." What did you say, 'Your Majesty, don't worry, the slaves will definitely get things done'! What a bunch of trash, without Zhang Xu, you all have as much as you don't."

The waiter's face stiffened with a smile, and he murmured in his heart that Zhang Xu's counselor was full of wisdom, but he didn't want to be tied up with the prince now, otherwise how could he run away in a hurry, and let the prince labor for our group of servants to arrest people.

"Send a few people to stare at Zhang Xu's hometown and the gate of Jingzhao. Anyone who dares to look similar should go and 'ask' the other party. It is better to kill the mistake than let it go." The smile on the face of Jiayu County King, but His eyes were colder than the executioner's.

The servant backed away obediently, and hurriedly wiped the fine sweat from his forehead when he went out.

Jingzhao couldn't find the owner who rented the falling water ox cart, but the guards in the yamen found that there were always some familiar faces wandering outside the gate of the house in recent days.Their eyes moved around flexibly, as if they were staring at someone or looking for someone.

The yamen servants looked at each other, shouted loudly, rushed forward, pushed all the suspicious people to the ground, tied them back to Jingzhao mansion for interrogation.

"Our family is the servant of the Jiayu County King's Mansion, how could you just tie up our family!" The servant's fake beard sticking to his lips was half opened in the struggle, and the remaining half was attached to his lips, making people laugh.

The yamen servants looked at each other, a little unsure whether they should arrest them or not.

The servants of Wang Fu in Jiayu County broke free, and the youngest one hurriedly pushed them down again, and said fiercely: "Where are they from? There are so many evil slaves who betrayed their masters. Who knew that this group of servants disguised themselves as What the hell are you going to do when you run out? If you can’t solve the case, if the adults blame you, all of us brothers will be unable to eat and walk around!”

The little yamen servant shouted out loudly, which immediately strengthened the confidence of the hesitant yamen servants.

As the saying goes, "It's better for the county magistrates to manage now." If they can't solve the case, they may not be able to keep this job. Who cares if they offend others!It's just a few eunuchs. Could it be that they come out sneakily, what good can they do in these days of no festival?It is clear that there is a problem.

The yamen servants tied up the servants of Jiayu County's palace and stuffed them all into Jingzhao's torture chamber. When they came up, they were given a good beating. Come out for interrogation.

The servants who can be sent out to work are obviously not so highly valued in the palace. Those servants that the king of Jiayu County can't do without are all safely replying to the news with the servants under him in the palace.Therefore, the group of servants who were caught were originally small roles, and they had not received the favor of the Jiayu County King, so they could not be said to be very loyal to the Jiayu County King.

Eunuchs are all slaves, and they are not considered "people" in front of the yamen servants. When they torture them, the yamen servants don't care whether they beat the servants to death or maim them.

Under the effect of two phases, the captured servant did not make it to Jiayu County Wang Fu felt that something was wrong and confessed the truth.

The yamen servants were sweating on their brows when they heard this, and they dared not think that His Majesty's only surviving uncle would be involved in the drowning case.

They didn't dare to make decisions about this matter, and immediately reported the news of the torture to Jingzhao. After hearing this, Jingzhao was too frightened to stop.

"...That's how it is. The servants in Jiayu County's mansion all carry their badges with them. They recruited and were ordered to guard outside the minister's mansion. If there is anything that looks like they want to go to order the money If it is true, then stop the interrogation. If it is true, quickly arrest the person. The death of the coachman who fell into the water is unclear, and the king of Jiayu County may be involved in it. It's just this matter, the minister, the minister dare not..."

Jing Zhao was sweating profusely, for fear that the case would fall into his hands, and in the end he would offend the emperor with a light sentence, but with a heavy sentence that would not hurt the king of Jiayu County, so he would make his life difficult.

Sitting behind the desk, the Son of Heaven nodded slightly, and said softly like the sounds of nature, "I will send a few people to accompany you back and bring back the people in Jingzhao Prison. You don't have to worry about this matter anymore. Not sure."

"Yes, I understand." Jingzhao didn't understand the emperor's intention at all, but this did not prevent him from finding himself in a good mood to get out of a dispute.

Jing Zhao went back with the guards and hastily handed over the man, even handing over the torture records of the yamen servants.

Shenlong laughed when he saw the content of the torture. He lit some bloody rice paper and smiled slowly.

In the large study room where no one was around, Shenlong whispered softly, "If I keep refusing to say anything, the emperor will definitely be too frightened to move. Well, it's something I like to do."

Shenlong squinted his eyes, smiled cheerfully, and waved his hand to order his servant, "Go to Jiayu County Prince's Mansion and inform Uncle Huang, and tell the person he sent out that I will train him."

"Your Majesty, if the king of Jiayu County asks when the man will be released, how should the servants answer?"

Shenlong frowned and said with a good temper, "Officials are members of the court. They don't return to the palace. Uncle Huang knows how to protect himself best. Not only will he not ask questions, but he will also thank me for educating his subordinates."

After the servants left, Shenlong gave instructions to the others, "Take care of the servants sent to the palace, put them in a courtyard and let them work, so as not to let people die. I will need them in the future."

The servant left with a voice, and went to take care of the eunuch of the palace who was beaten to death and frightened all the time.

The King of Jiayu County was notified by the servant who came from the palace to deliver the oral order. His head was sweating profusely, and his mind was full of thoughts, but he kept saying, "Thank you for your trust, Your Majesty, I must take good care of the servants of the palace." Give money to the messenger messenger.

The servant returned to the inner palace with a whole box of silver, turned around and put all the money in front of the new king, "I dare not accept it."

Shenlong opened the lacquer box and looked at the neatly stacked three rows of four rows of five layers of silver ingots inside the box. He couldn't help laughing, "Uncle Huang is really a wonderful person, and the silver he gave away is actually stamped with the seal of Jiayu County Prince's Mansion."

"You keep this money—Bauhinia, go to my private treasury to get the same amount of silver and give it to him." After Shenlong ordered, the servant immediately knelt on the ground to express his gratitude.

Taking money from the King of Jiayu County, this money is "accepting bribes and spying on the palace" is absolutely useless, but after passing through His Majesty's hands, what you get again is called "reward". Anyone who dares to steal will be punished.

Oh, no, when he goes back, he must find a place where no one is around, and kowtow to God a few more times.

The king of Jiayu County found out that the emperor in the palace knew that he had sent someone out. In order to avoid suspicion—even though neither he nor the emperor believed that this matter had nothing to do with him—the king of Jiayu County honestly handed over a letter to the palace, Hiding in the palace, even the movement of servants who went out to buy food was strictly restricted.

Jiayu County King's refusal to move for the time being is equivalent to giving the court time to conduct a thorough investigation. The court went from house to house to search for sick people under the pretext of having a serious illness recently.

Although the investigation was fierce, no one in Beijing really had a serious illness. Although the people in Beijing heard all kinds of rumors, their lives were never disturbed, and the people's defenses were relieved.

Seeing that someone who was not the king of Jiayu came to search for him in disguise, the counselor hiding in the small residence gradually relaxed, and showed his feet when the yamen servants came to ask.

"It's done, it's you, let's go back with our brothers." After working hard for half a month, the yamen servants finally had a big stone in their hearts, and politely "invited" the dumbfounded counselor to Jingzhao.

"Sir, it's really easy for me to find you." Jing Zhao looked at the plain-looking counselor, in his heart he admired the intelligence of the Son of Heaven, who could guess that this person had been in Beijing and never left, and admired the courage of the counselor.

The counselor smiled wryly, "It's almost a game of chess."

"Follow me into the palace. Your Majesty has been waiting for you in the palace for a long time." Jing Zhao didn't know why the new king was looking for this person, but since it was the person whom His Majesty named and wanted to send to the palace, Jing Zhao naturally didn't Dare to neglect.

The counselor was sent to the palace with a complicated mood. He was very suspicious that the new king would cut himself into pieces to relieve his hatred after knowing how many things he had planned by the King of Jiayu for so many years.

Alas, maybe it would be better to drown in Luoshui.

The counselor was disheartened and sent to the palace by Jingzhao. When he saw the new king, he told him everything he had done these years, and quietly waited for the new king to execute him.

"With Uncle Huang's mind, he really can't think of a chain-link strategy." After Shenlong pondered, he nodded to show that he knew the inside story.

King Jiayu seems to be a person who can control his emotions freely in Shenlong, but to say how smart and talented the King Jiayu is, he can only be considered outstanding in front of Emperor Taixing who can't even hide it.From the first time Shenlong met the King of Jiayu, he felt that if the aura of the King of Jiayu was thrown out, he was just a little clever and good at acting.Now that it is confirmed that the strategy of the Shu land is made by this person, Shenlong is completely at ease, and is not worried about causing big troubles.

"I have something to ask sir."

The counselor carefully glanced at the young emperor's face, and after confirming that the emperor did not appear cruel, he breathed a sigh of relief, and replied guiltily, "Your Majesty, if you want to know anything, just ask. The grass-roots must know everything." Endless."

"Mr. first planned a famine for the common people, and forced Lin Jianxi to go to Beijing to sue the imperial court. After this plan failed, he said that the officials I sent were in collusion with the leaders of the rebels in Shu. In addition, there are other Any other arrangements?"

The counselor didn't expect Xinjun to have such a good temper. Facing him, the instigator, he didn't "get angry and smash an inkstone head-on", and hurriedly explained, "Return to your majesty, the only one Caomin has seen is Jiayu County King, so they think Those who make big things don’t stick to small details. Using Jiayu County King to guess His Majesty’s thoughts, thinking that no matter whether His Majesty believes that Shu is really hungry for thousands of miles, he will blame Jiayu County King for it. When the time comes, go to provoke Li Mu, the Minister of the Ministry of Officials, and ask him to be an official. There was a rift with His Majesty due to the promotion standards. Wei Yan has returned home, and if Li Mu disagrees with His Majesty, the Ministry of Officials will be considered abolished. No matter how His Majesty wants to transfer the officials in the court, His Majesty will look at the candidates recommended by the Ministry of Officials. Wouldn't be agreeable."

"Then why did you fabricate the news that Mu Huaiyuan, Lin Jianxi colluded with the local bandit leader?"

The counselor said awkwardly: "Your Majesty has no manpower in Shu, but Shu is the old nest of Jiayu County King. The two officials sent by His Majesty have indeed strengthened the chief of the mountain tribe who was in Shu to fight against Jiayu County King."

"Isn't it 'Bandit Leader'? His identity is quite clear." Shenlong suddenly became interested and asked anxiously.

"There are many mountains and forests in Shu, and the mountain people are a group of local people with different cultures. The king of Jiayu County once took a fancy to the forest land of the mountain people and wanted to use it to hide soldiers, so he used the excuse of marrying the daughter of the mountain people's leader to seize the place. Keshan The people are not as obedient as the people who cultivate and sanitate, and wounded the soldiers of the Jiayu County King, and then they have been looking for opportunities in Shu to kill the Jiayu County King's men and horses, causing a lot of trouble."

Listening to the counselor's description, Shenlong didn't show it on the surface, but shook his head in his heart.

He couldn't help but think that although Jiayu County King has many women, he didn't see any one he particularly favored. This kind of man can also say "not good at women", which shows that people who rob land by marrying the daughter of the leader of the mountain people The method is also put forward by counselors in this world.That being the case, what's the use of being evasive now.

Seeing that Xinjun had been listening to his narration wholeheartedly, the counselor thought that he would be able to understand the Lord again, and said excitedly: "Caomin has a way to make Jiayu County King take the initiative to show his feet!"

Shenlong raised his eyebrows, leaned forward slightly as if interested, and asked, "Oh, sir, what's the trick?"

"The king of Jiayu County has always wanted to buy off the military officer who guards Gyeonggi, but unfortunately this person is the father of Fan Su, who accompanied His Majesty. The King of Jiayu County has never been able to get what he wanted. As long as His Majesty and the Fan family jointly devise a plan, the county king will be mistaken. Thinking that His Majesty is about to abandon the Fan family, and if the Fan family surrenders to the county king, they will be able to get what they want."

Shenlong smiled and applauded, "Sure enough, it's a good way. Mister is really good at making schemes. It's a pity, as the Son of Heaven, I don't need such a dirty way."

The counselor immediately turned pale.

Shenlong said to the guard, "Send Mr. Chen to the servants who came out of Jiayu County Prince's Mansion."

After the counselor was taken down, Shenlong said in a low voice: "Thank you for your hard work, and I invite you to come out."

The door of the compartment was opened by the servant, and a group of high-ranking officials walked out, including Li Mu, the former Minister of the Ministry of Officials, and a guest of the former Jiayu County King.

Zhou Ji said bluntly, "Your Majesty, the late emperor has passed away, and the age difference between the Jiayu County King and the late Emperor is not too big. Why don't you let the Jiayu County King honor him?"

Kang Dongcheng, the former royal censor and the current official minister, smiled softly, "Oh, the older the grand master is, the more irritable his temper becomes. The king of Jiayu County is in good spirits, so how can he be honored directly? His Majesty just came from the palace of the king of Jiayu County. Bringing back some eunuchs who steal and play tricks, just in time to replace them with some tender, docile and well-behaved women to greet the county king."

At that time, singing and singing every night will make his uncle who is "in good spirits" become "out of spirits", right?

Sure enough!

The emperor sent the man there, but the king of Jiayu County wanted to accept him even though hundreds of people were unwilling.

"Okay! Zijing, you go ask the women in the palace. I will give them a rank if they are willing to serve in the Jiayu County prince's mansion. If you go to serve as a female official, even if you pass, the palace will still give you a salary every year."

Ordinary maids can be sent to clean the toilet. Shenlong doesn't believe that the king of Jiayu County dares to leave the female officials alone. Moreover, in this way, the possibility of the king of Jiayu County killing people at will can be cut off. The list of female officials is in the palace. March Receive a salary once, and keep in touch with the court all the time, even if you want to get a code, you have to go through the Department of Punishment, and it is strictly forbidden to do it without permission, which can completely guarantee the life of the female official who goes there.

The only pity is that a group of good women will be ruined by such high-sounding reasons again.

However, would his uncle really dare to sleep with a girl of this status at night?I'm afraid if they lie together, they will suffer from insomnia all night long.

Shenlong thought wildly, and couldn't help laughing.

He thought he was just thinking about it casually, but after the next big court, Zijing whispered in his ear, "Your Majesty, servant, is the king of Jiayu bald? His hair seems to be braided by ponytails." wig."

Shenlong: ...

=口= Really scared the insomnia and hair loss!

The author has something to say:

... Then, just got sick and fell down again.

I worked hard today, but it is still a day that I owe everyone three thousand words, crying and crying.
