[Red Mansion] Master is always taken away

The reason why Emperor Xianning agreed to Jia Amnesty's request to be transferred to the Ministry of Punishment was that he planned to promote the concubine Jia in the palace. Naturally, it would not be easy for Jia Amnesty to continue to follow him as a bodyguard.

After all, the imperial guards were in the palace, and they could also see some eunuchs and court ladies. Even though the four kings and eight princes had fallen, who knew if anyone in the palace had anything to do with them in the old years.

As for Jia Amnesty's loyalty, Emperor Xianning knew that he had saved Jia, and in front of him and his courtiers in the hall, he forcefully expressed his determination to gallop on the battlefield. Is it a big use for one person.

Dali Temple is in charge of criminal prisons across the country, and it can be regarded as an important yamen. However, Gu Qingzhi of Dali Temple is a confidant of Emperor Xianning. He is not strict, but at least he is more reliable than Jia Amnesty. After all, he was moved up from level to level. If you have been an official for many years, there will be no big troubles.

Arranging Jia Amnesty there, Emperor Xianning felt that he could see Jia She's talent and character clearly. After dealing with the palace and some things, he would naturally use Jia Amnesty, if this Jia Amnesty was worth his use.

No one knows what Emperor Xianning thinks, only the crown prince is not good at breaking his promise, although he really appreciates Duke Rong's military strength and talent, especially his appearance when he is holding a long sword. Jian Shi always compares with Jia She in his heart from time to time, then shakes his head, his eyes are very disappointed.

None of the guards in the palace, including the hidden guards, can compare to Rong Guogong. He thought that what Rong Guogong said before to promote our country's prestige is probably true. With this level of skill, Rong Guogong On the battlefield, at least he should be a fierce general, not to mention being able to kill the opponent, at least his swishing sword can sweep away, at least to say the least, which can greatly boost morale. Victory.

No matter how much the prince Tu Che valued Jia She in his heart, he was reluctant to let Jia She leave his East Palace, but Jia She was his benefactor, and when he came to the East Palace before, Jia She had also registered in front of Emperor Xianning, so it was naturally not good to add stop

Although Jia Amnesty's transfer order had been issued, he did not take office immediately, but Jia Amnesty himself was very active, so he just stayed with Xue Pan, and came to Dali Temple under the pretext of familiarizing himself with the Yamen where he would work in advance.

Although Gu Qingzhi was a full-time official at Dali Temple, he couldn't stand Jia She's presence of the Duke. In fact, sometimes he had to salute Jia She, and Jia She didn't care about it at all, at least not at this moment.

He said, "Has there been any strange incidents in Dali Temple recently?"

After all, the status of the servant is different. With Xue Pan, Xue Pan is regarded as his family's in-laws, so he can naturally follow into Gu Qingzhi's study in the yamen. After all, this assistant is more useful than copper coins and fans. The Xia Dynasty had no status.

Xue Pan still winked, knowing that he could not interrupt at will at this time. Before he came out today, he had already been reminded by his mother and younger sister. He must say less... and do less, just watch more.

Therefore, at this moment, Xue Pan was like sawing a gourd, watching the old man talk without making a sound, and he couldn't move around or be rude. This was out of his nature and made him feel uncomfortable.

Gu Qingzhi knew that Jia She was "all-rounder in both civil and military affairs", but he really didn't know why he came to the Ministry of Punishment. The emperor really arranged for him to be under the Dali Temple.

For papers, Rong Guogong can go to the Imperial Academy; for martial arts, Rong Guogong can go to the Ministry of War, waiting for the opportunity...

——But why did he come to the Ministry of Punishment now? I heard that it was written by Jia Enhou himself.

As the emperor's confidant, Gu Qingzhi had long thought about what the emperor meant and what Duke Rong's purpose was after the emperor sent Jia Amnesty to his Dali Temple.He lingered in his heart for a while, and felt that he had to take his time to see what the Duke of the country was up to, and he would naturally know after a long time.

Jia Amnesty waited for Gu Qingzhi to answer what the case was here, Gu Qingzhi was thinking on the surface, but in fact he was not thinking about it.

Jia Amnesty could tell at a glance that Gu Qingzhi was thinking of something messy.

These officials working in the imperial court are not only not intelligent enough, but some of them even eat vegetarian meals instead of doing business.

He poked his head over and looked at his desk case, which woke Gu Qingzhi awake, but Jia Amnesty didn't stop, and was about to touch the files on the desk case.

Gu Qingzhi hurriedly covered it up, and Jia She then sat up straight and sneered.

"Is this an unsolved case?"

"..." Gu Qingzhi didn't answer him, but just looked deeply at Rong Guogong, after a while, after pondering for a while, he handed the case to Jia She.

Then, he said: "There have been no strange cases recently. This is just an adultery case, but both parties are from big families in Tong County. The two families have been related for generations. Everyone said that the woman was a chaste person, but the man He sued his wife for adultery and gave birth to a child, and he insisted on divorcing her and marrying another... In the end, the woman beat her head to death to show her innocence."

... Jia Amnesty listened and touched his fingers boredly. Xue Pan opened his eyes wide and held his breath. Gu Qingzhi didn't think this case needed to be kept secret. In fact, in Dali Temple, this kind of case can only be regarded as a minor case. There is a backlog, and the people below will try it casually, and award one party some money for burning and burying it. Who cares whether it is true or not.

However, this Tong County is closer to the capital city. Some of the two families have been officials in the court for generations. The family members thought that the man deliberately lied and lied to embarrass the woman, causing the woman to commit suicide. officials to support.

The man's family thought that the daughter-in-law was unfaithful, committed adultery and gave birth to a child, and if they didn't directly kill the mother and child, they were kind. As for the woman who committed suicide and killed herself, it proved her guilty conscience...

Jia Amnesty heard this, crossed his legs in disdain, took a sip of the tea from the Yamen of Dali Temple, and asked slowly: "Although it's just an adultery case, can you really not tell the truth? Is it adultery? There must be evidence. Catch the adulterer and take the pair... but just relying on "blood recognition" can prove that the child is not the man's, but the woman's adultery?"

I just went through the case file, and the evidence that the man threatened the woman to divorce his wife is nothing more than a proof of a blood test - "Blood test"? !The expression on Jia Amnesty's face was very mocking, did the Great Xia Dynasty really use this kind of evidence to settle the case?

Gu Qingzhi frowned, and replied: "The Dali Temple has already interrogated this case, and after a blood test, the child is indeed incompatible with the man's blood, so it is not his biological father and son..."

Jia She snorted, "You really are a fool."

Gu Qingzhi held back his anger, "It's not easy for me to judge this case, the woman's family is more powerful than the man's, and it's not easy for me to be a minister of Dali Temple... However, I can offend that official in the court, and I can't help it." You won’t break the law.” A drop of blood proved that the woman’s remaining son was indeed not the man’s heir.

Gu Qingzhi touched his cuff, lowered his eyes, picked up the tea bowl and took a sip of tea.

Jia Amnesty kept looking at him, making Gu Qingzhi feel uncomfortable: "Mr. Rong?"

Shaking his head, Jia Amnesty said, "You have received a favor from the man's family—maybe it's a bank note, it's in your sleeve."

Gu Qingzhi's eyes flickered to the right, touched his nose, covered it with fists, and coughed: "Mr. Rong really likes to joke."

"...you are lying!" Jia She asserted, swearing.

He stood up and said in a quick and clear voice: "Do you think it's okay to collect the money, and you think you are quite fair, after all, the woman is indeed an unfaithful person, right?"

Gu Qingzhi's expression was very angry, "Master, don't just talk about it! This official has always been clean and honest, set an example..."

"You're still lying." Jia She shook his head, "But I'm not interested in whether you're greedy for money right now. I just want to say that the blood test is not accurate enough to conclude that the woman committed adultery and gave birth... This case needs to be retried. A blood test cannot be used as evidence."

Hearing this, Gu Qingzhi's expression froze for a moment. He accepted the money by looking at it, just like in this case, it was obvious that the woman committed adultery and gave birth. Although she was ashamed and committed suicide, the man was innocent. Dali Temple should have dismissed the woman's family based on the evidence. The complaint was just that the woman's family had some influence, and the man felt unsafe, so he gave him some money, and he accepted it, because it was originally planned to be sentenced in this way.

But now that Jia She said this, Gu Qingzhi was a little guilty, but he asked Wu Zuo, and the "Washing Injustice Records" had long recorded this method of blood test. During the period, he personally watched the son of the man and the woman. There is no possibility of fraud, and the two drops of blood are indeed incompatible.

After a while, Wu Zuo came. People who are used to seeing dead bodies are very courageous. Apart from being unnatural at the beginning, he is not stage-frightened. He talks eloquently in front of the two officials, and he seems to be very proficient in the "Washing Injustice Records". This book is also very proficient in various autopsy techniques.

……

What Wu Zuo said made Jia She frowned, and even asked a few questions, Wu Zuo answered them one by one, but after Jia She said two different opinions, he stopped arguing...

Some of this "Winning Injustice Records" are valuable autopsy experience, and some are simply ridiculous. How many people have been wronged to conduct autopsies and judge cases according to this throughout the ages.

Jia Amnesty didn't sympathize with how many people died unjustly at this time, he just couldn't stand those stupid people who could get a simple case wrong!

This is something that cannot be forgiven...

Jia Amnesty had various reasons to refute them, but facing the eyes of Gu Qingzhi and the gang, he could only ask Gu Qingzhi to order someone to bring a bowl of water, looked around at the people, asked Xue Pan to come first, and poured a drop of blood into it. He didn't let Gu Qingzhi and that guy do it, and he got an injection himself.

As for Xue Pan and the other two, they wondered why Jia Amnesty carried an embroidery needle bag with him, and ignored the questions they had in their hearts.

Several people looked at the water bowl. The water dripped into the water. They couldn't stop looking at it for too long, otherwise they would all disperse.

Jia Amnesty's blood droplet and Xue Pan's blood droplet were almost touching each other, and within a blink of an eye, the two drops of blood gradually merged, and finally formed a ball, turned into a big drop, and then slowly fainted...

However, everyone was stunned at this time!

Gu Qingzhi and the assistant looked at Jia She and Xue Pan with strange eyes—Xue Pan also stuttered and exclaimed, "Master, sir, are we biological father and son?!"

He backed up two steps until he hit the table leg, his face turned pale and then red, thinking of his dead biological father, staring at the blood in the water bowl, his eyes showed sadness at first, But when he thought of the identity of the great master, he became a little excited and looked at Jia Amnesty eagerly.

—This man is beyond redemption!

Jia Amnesty decided to look for him. If there was a suitable person, he would kick this guy away. He didn't need such a stupid assistant.

"Huh, what are you thinking?" Jia She felt the same feeling with his fingers, looking at the little blood left on the closed wound, his eyes were dangerous and excited for a moment, but he endured it and wrapped his mouth casually. Wrapped, the wound healed quickly.He took out the black sheath sword that Xue Pan helped him hang in his hand, and slapped him casually, "Put down your stupid look, sir, I have no blood relationship with you within three generations."

"Then—then why did our blood mix?" Xue Pan said these words neatly.

This is also the question in Gu Qingzhi and Na Zuo's mind.

Jia She said slowly: "It's just that they are compatible, but it doesn't mean you were born by me..."

"Ah?!" There was disappointment in Xue Pan's voice, but he felt guilty towards his mother in his heart. If he is really the son of a master, wouldn't it mean that his mother...cough cough...can't think about it anymore.

Xue Pan blushed with shame, felt ashamed for a moment, and then wondered why they were not biological father and son, and the blood dripped into each other...

Judging from the time, place of birth, and his mother's character, Xue Pan knew that he and the elder were not biological father and son. It was just a momentary thought of his, but Gu Qingzhi and Wu Zuo didn't know. Authenticity, their eyes revealed suspicion.

Is it his biological father and son... Well, Gu Qingzhi thought, why did Jia Enhou bring this Xue Pan who had no special close relationship with him when he came to Dali Temple? You must know that Jia Amnesty didn't even have his own son Jia Lian. take it.

Jia Amnesty knew that they didn't believe him. Originally, he didn't bother to bother with such places, but people with a little education in the Great Xia Dynasty believed so deeply in the story of "testing relatives with blood", so he broke their belief. If he is confused, it is best to overthrow the various fallacies in ancient books such as "Washing Injustice Records", otherwise it will not be conducive to him to develop evidence and solve the case in the future.

"Bring some more water and bowls," Jia Amnesty ordered. "Take five or six, no, take ten bowls of water!" He looked at Xue Pan's "ten slender fingers" and suddenly laughed.

……

Xue Pan was stabbed another ten times. Jia Amnesty asked Gu Qingzhi to randomly find ten people, each of whom dripped their blood into a bowl, and Xue Pan tried them one by one, and all ten fingers were painful.

After piercing, he looked at the ten bowls of water, among which there were blood drops in three bowls, they merged with each other...

This result shocked the three of Gu Qingzhi. It was obvious that this Xue Pan could not be a relative of these servants.

Gu Qingzhi took a deep breath, stood up, and bowed to Jia Amnesty: "If it weren't for the experiment of the Duke of the State, we foolish people will continue to make mistakes... Please accept my worship, the Lord of the Kingdom!"

Jia She haughtily accepted.Gu Qingzhi is capable of flexing and stretching, otherwise he would not easily become one of the emperor's confidantes, and he doesn't mind thinking about it. It seems that Rong Guogong spoke like that before, and he really has the ability to be proud.

He used to have reservations about Jia She's both civil and martial arts, and the statement that Jia She saved the emperor and His Royal Highness the Crown Prince.

None of the courtiers who rescued them had seen it, and the prince’s bodyguards came back to preach, just listen to it, why a dozen assassins were sealed with a sword... that’s too exaggerated!

However, at this time, Gu Qingzhi suppressed the contempt in his heart, and thought about it carefully, thinking that those words that praised Duke Rong for being great may not be fake, but the truth.

... When Xue Pan and Jia Amnesty were sent out of Dali Temple by Gu Qing Zhigong, Xue Pan stretched out his hands before realizing it.

He said sadly: "My lord, why do you have to pierce my hand?" Don't say it for the first time, but for the next ten times, you can order someone else to come.

Jia She took a look at him, the black cloak and his slightly curly hair trembled, and said lightly: "Because you are stupid!"

His eyes fell on Xue Pan's outstretched red and swollen ten finger pads, which were covered with embroidery needle holes, and a little blood-red condensation——

Because Xue Pan's hand was injured, Jia Amnesty's black sheath sword returned to his own hand, holding the sword, he suddenly felt the desire to beat this person.

The old man is still patient with his hot heart, and Xue Pan here is not knowing how to ask: "Why does the old man still carry an embroidery needle bag with him?"

Xue Pan is curious!He wanted to ask this question many times. In the Yamen of Dali Temple, he had been patient and patient, and now he couldn't bear it anymore.

Jia She, who was being questioned, had a flash in his eyes, and the appearance that Lao Tzu was the most intelligent man in the world all along faded away, replaced by a smile, but it was very dangerous.

He asked back, "You really want to know?"

Xue Pan has always been ignorant, nodded sharply, and speculated: "Could it be that the old man still embroiders and sews clothes by himself?! Hehe..."

"—I really know this!" Jia She readily admitted, he brushed off his robe, and stroked his hair with one hand.

The curly hair was not to his liking, and he had to straighten it when he went back.

Xue Pan didn't expect the Elder Master to really answer him like this. He, the person who asked the question, was startled, but found that Jia Amnesty hadn't finished speaking, and he was smiling at himself, which contained indescribable meaning: "Brother Pan, master, I can not only embroider, but also prick people with needles - making you feel comfortable... But I think you don't like it!"

He sighed, his eyes showing regret.

Xue Pan made a "chuckle" and kept away from the elder.

He's just had enough of being pierced!

No one wants to make him suffer from needles again!

Xue Pan felt that being beaten was better than pricking the belly of the finger with an embroidery needle...

Before leaving, Jia Amnesty turned around and looked at the plaque in Dali Temple, thinking that it would be meaningless to come here, as it was not as interesting as he expected.

What's more, he still has a great career to accomplish, not to mention usurping the throne as emperor, but to come to Dali Temple. Compared with the Ministry of War or the Ministry of Officials, it seems that there is not much benefit for him to control power.

Holding the black sheath sword tightly in his hand, Jia She lowered his head and stroked the scabbard.

He still prefers to inlay some gems on the scabbard, which is too dusty to be worthy of his status as a prince of another country. What's more, he uses a whip as a weapon, which is also very powerful.

And throwing knives...

For a moment, the elder was confused about which weapon to use, but he soon stopped worrying about it.

Jia Amnesty narrowed his eyes, and found that around Dali Temple, no, around him, some spies were watching him.
