Qing Jialu

Soon after, Guo Shaochun and other prisoners were secretly executed by Jin Yiwei, and the emperor also buried Guo Shaochun next to the tomb of the deposed emperor according to the contract.The assassination was handled quietly, and even many courtiers didn't know that His Majesty had been assassinated, and Jin Yiwei had to clean up the shops and restaurants in the next two days.

Of course, Mr. Cheng Ge and other important ministers were a little suspicious, but His Majesty made it clear that he wanted to hide it. They are all old tricks, and they will never ask if they shouldn't ask.

Naturally, Shen Jia would not talk nonsense to the outside world. After investigating the case, he was not idle, and was dragged by his master Cheng Ge to carry out land reform.I went to the fields to investigate and measure the land all day long, and I was very busy.

As for the test drug, Dr. Fan saw that Shen Jia was busy recently, and the residual poison from before had not been eliminated, so he stopped forcefully, planning to try again in a month or two.

Everything is back on track, as if nothing happened.Only King Kui became more and more low-key, and didn't go out after he recovered from his injury. He recruited a group of singers to drink and have fun at home, ignoring the outside world.

King Kui didn't care about worldly affairs, but things happened to King Kui.Shen Jia had to suspect that he and King Kui might have a disagreement, why he went to measure the land and happened to come across the land of King Kui's family.Moreover, the servant is overbearing and does not allow the officials to measure him.

The officials of the household department have long been accustomed to this, and many princes and relatives have stopped it before.These princes and nobles used their privileges to seize a large amount of land and refused to pay taxes.Now they have a guilty conscience, how could they let the officials of the household department measure it?

So a long tug-of-war began. Some people finally succumbed, some were still fighting with the people in the household department, and some even wanted to bribe the officials to let their family go.But these people are soft-hearted at most, but King Kui's servants are different, they directly force them.They picked up tools such as axes and sticks, and brandished them in an attempt to drive Shen Jia and the others away.

Shen Jia had never seen such an unreasonable person, and the others were afraid of being accidentally injured, so they hid far away.Shen Jia stepped forward directly, wanting to reason with those people.

"This is the emperor's decree. The decree has been issued to all states and counties. You cannot resist."

"I only obey my master's orders." The head servant looked disdainful, "My lord, you can ask my master."

"Why, the imperial order is not as great as your master's order?" Shen Jia said angrily, "Do you still have His Majesty in your eyes?"

"My master is His Majesty's younger brother, who are you?"

The servants immediately burst into laughter, Shen Jia's face turned livid, and she said to the yamen servant who brought her, "Go and measure it."

The yamen servants looked at each other in blank dismay, not daring to step forward.But the servants didn't care about three seven and twenty one, and wanted to drive them away with sticks.During the push and shove, Shen Jia, a literati, couldn't match those people with strength, and was pushed to the ground by them during the tugging.

"My lord." The yamen servant helped Shen Jia up, "If a good man doesn't suffer the immediate loss, why not report it to the Minister of Household Affairs before making a conclusion?"

"Stop." Shen Jia knew he couldn't speak clearly with his servants, so he said loudly, "Don't you just listen to your master? Alright, I'll visit your master right now."

The servants really didn't expect that this frail scholar would dare to meet King Kui, and stopped the stick in his hand.As the head servant, he asked everyone to withdraw, and let Shen Jia and others leave.

"Your Excellency, are you really going to the Kui Palace?" the servant asked worriedly, "I heard that the Kui King has closed the door to thank guests for a long time."

"Of course I'm going." Shen Jia thought to himself, what kind of dragon's pond and tiger's den is the Kui Palace, can you still break into it?

"My lord, I would like to advise you, King Kui is not easy to mess with."

"It's too late for you to persuade me." Shen Jia smiled, "I provoked him not once or twice."

One time to build the palace, one time to secretly investigate the assassin, and now it's another time.

The yamen servant stopped trying to persuade him, so he could only watch Mr. Shen get off the car at the gate of King Kui's mansion, and shook his head helplessly.

The singing and dancing in King Kui's mansion was peaceful, and several singers surrounded King Kui, feeding him wine.However, such a beautiful day is destined to be broken by Shen Jia.

The eunuch in charge came in a hurry and said that a person was making a scene at the door and insisted on seeing King Kui.

"Oh?" King Kui had never seen anyone dare to break into his gate, so he asked with great interest, "Who is it?"

"The visitor claimed to be the left servant of the household department, Shen Jia."

"It turned out to be him." King Kui showed a half-smile expression, "Please come in quickly, I really... have admired your name for a long time."

A singer asked in a dazed manner, "Who is Mr. Shen?"

"You don't even know about Shen Jia?" King Kui raised the diva's chin and said teasingly, "He's a big celebrity next to my second brother."

"Isn't that a treat?"

"Naturally, I want to 'receive you well'." King Kui kissed the diva, but his tone was gloomy.

It was the first time for Shen Jia to visit King Kui's mansion, and it was also the first time to interact with King Kui privately.Before he got close, he heard the obscene songs from the water pavilion, which was unbearable to the ear.

With a sullen face, Shen Jia came to King Kui.He suppressed the anger in his chest, cupped his hands and saluted, "Meet His Royal Highness King Kui."

But King Kui was still teasing the singer beside him, so he didn't have time to talk to him.

"Hey, isn't this Master Shen?" King Kui let him hang out for a long time before pretending to have just seen it, "Come, come, sit down."

"Stop sitting." Shen Jia said indifferently, "I don't want to disturb His Highness watching the dance and listening to the music, but the servants of King Kui's family are too defiant, and they actually prevented the household department from measuring the land and obstructing the reform."

"Really?" King Kui said lazily, "I haven't gone out for a long time, so I don't know what reform is."

"This is a national policy agreed upon by His Majesty and the cabinet, and the 'One Whip Law' is enforced throughout the country." Shen Jia didn't bother to explain, he didn't believe that King Kui really didn't care about court affairs.

King Kui suddenly realized: "I really don't know, why don't Master Shen sit down and talk to me in detail?"

Shen Jia frowned, he had no choice but to sit down when he got to this point.

Seeing Shen Jia sitting still, King Kui said to the singer beside him, "Go and pour wine for Master Shen."

"No." Shen Jia refused, "I'm too drunk."

"It's already here, why don't you have a drink?" King Kui said enthusiastically.

Shen Jia thought that King Kui might not allow him to enter the gate, or might yell at him.In this way, he can make things big and reason in court.But he never expected that King Kui not only invited him in, but also greeted him with good wine and food, without seeming angry at all.

Sure enough, as His Majesty said, King Kui's actions cannot be speculated with common sense.

"My lord, please." The singer walked over to Shen Jia and sat down beside Shen Jia with a drink in her hand. She looked around and smiled at Yanyan.

Shen Jia looked at the wine glass that was about to touch her mouth, and hurriedly said: "His Royal Highness, didn't you want to explain the 'one whip method'?"

"No hurry, no hurry, drink first." How could King Kui be willing to listen to some whipping?

"His Royal Highness Kui, I have something to do, I'm afraid I won't be able to drink with you." Shen Jia said, "Please also cooperate with the household department to measure the land. I am very grateful."

"Master Shen, after a drink, it's easy to talk about cooperation. I'll let those servants come over and make amends for you."

"There's no need to make amends." Shen Jia looked at the wine glass in the singer's hand, took it over and said, "I'm done!"

Seeing Shen Jia drinking, King Kui and his father-in-law looked at each other and smiled.
