Chapter 1,10: Stop Sun (1)

Cao Song was waiting to see Sun Jue's joke, but when he heard that it was involved in the Ninth Prince, he still changed his face.

"Brother, even if you want to teach him a lesson, you should not involve Prince Ninth. Prince Ninth has never been kind to Brother over the years. If he uses this to make trouble for Brother, how can he do it?" Thinking of this, he hesitated.

"If it weren't for the Ninth Prince, who would have offended the Cao family for hundreds of taels of silver?" Cao Yong said leisurely: "Besides, it would be a good thing to use the Ninth Prince's hand to teach Sun Jue a lesson."

Cao Song was confused, but Cao Yong said this about the Li family's resignation to the Eighth Prince and the Ninth Prince.

In the eyes of outsiders, the Cao, Li and Sun families have relatives, but the Cao family has been in Beijing for more than ten years and has never been involved in the affairs of becoming a crown prince. They have always been friendly with the new emperor and the Thirteenth Prince.

The remaining Li and Sun families are fence-bearers, and Sun Wencheng is a timid. He has been in charge of Hangzhou weaving for nearly twenty years. Even if he has not taken the initiative to make friends with the prince, he has no resistance to the prince's blackmail. Although he is passive, if he looks at it in detail, this crime can be either big or small.

Cao Yong of the Li family was completely resigned. If the Sun family was really guilty of being a big deal, it would affect Cao Ying and his son.

Sun Li and Sun Xian are both nephews of the Cao family, and Cao Yong, who is the uncle, cannot ignore it.

Under Cao Ying's discipline, these two were good kids who were filial and polite. Cao Yong didn't want them to be tired of their family and ruined their lifelong future.

The reason why he chose to perform this drama at the shop under the name of the Ninth Prince was because Cao Yong calculated that he was vindictive to the Ninth Prince. No matter whether the Sun family had respected him or not, he would not take Sun Wencheng seriously. He would catch this opportunity and fight a cow across the mountain and would not let it go.

"How could it be a good thing?" Cao Song thought for a while, but still puzzled.

"In the Jiangnan area, in the early years, it was the place where the second and eighth princes made money one after another. Let the ninth prince teach Sun Jue a lesson, and also helped the Sun family get rid of the suspicion of colluding with the prince." Cao Yong said to Cao Song carefully.

After hearing this, Cao Song was a little unwilling to accept it and said, "Will this be too cheap Sun Jue? But it is very beneficial to suffer some flesh and blood."

Cao Yong didn't say anything. If he had no idea, he would have to attack the Li and Sun families after fifteen.

When he ascended the throne, he had a unstable foothold. He wanted to repay the heroes of Long Long and gathered some money as soon as possible, but did not want to make the government and the people too shocked. The best way was to give these fats and lack rewards to the people under the name of the Ministry of Internal Affairs.

"Since the Ninth Prince wants to use this to humiliate me, he will definitely start the matter. Sun Li has to prepare for the provincial examination, but it is not distracted. You are his uncle, so he will be arranged to study in Haidian Garden to let him avoid this dispute." Cao Yong remembered something and ordered Cao Song.

Cao Song agreed and mentioned the matter when he sent Cao Ying back to Sun's house.

This provincial examination is a major event. It is common for scholars to study behind closed doors before the examination and not see foreign visitors. Cao Ying did not think too much, but instead thanked his brothers for being careful.

However, Sun Li was her entire hope for the rest of her life, and she was not relieved to let Sun Li go to the garden to study alone.

After thinking about it for a while, she decided to take her daughter to Haidian Garden. But there was not her territory, so she could not go back to her parents' home and talk about this with Chu Yu.

Before this, Cao Yong had already greeted his wife, so Chu Yu naturally had no objection. He heard that Cao Ying and his daughter were going with him, so people would have to clean up a small yard near Yuanzi Study.

Only Zhao Jia, who heard that Sun Li was going to study, agreed; but he was a little unhappy about Cao Ying taking Sun Xian with him: "I am fourteen years old. If I follow the in-laws' wishes to participate in the general election, many rules will be learned now. Isn't it delay to go to the garden?"

After hearing this, Cao Ying frowned and said, "Mother, even if my father-in-law asks for grace, how can we be qualified to choose with the Eight Banners and noble surnames at the same time? At that time, it would be better to leave the sign early and find a family with a good match."

It’s not that Zhao Jia doesn’t love her granddaughter, but she doesn’t want her to be inferior. She doesn’t want to cling to the dragon and get along with the phoenix, but that she was furious by Sun Jue, and she was a little scared.

"No matter how bad a high-ranking family members are, there are rules, and there are always some reasoning. If a small-ranking family member, if there is no rules, you may have some trouble. If you suffer such hardship, do you have to let your sister suffer another time?" Zhao Jia snorted coldly and said.

Cao Ying was speechless and sat there silently, worried about her daughter's marriage.

After all, my daughter's surname is Sun, and she is a member of the Sun family. Her marriage is not something that she can do, just a wife.

No one knows a daughter better than a mother. Seeing that her daughter is silent, Zhao Jia didn't understand her concerns. She stretched out her hand and poked Cao Ying's forehead, saying, "My head is true, my sister is the girl of the Sun family, and she is also the niece of the Cao family. With this, it can be said that the decent marriage of the Sun family will never be ruined at will."

Cao Ying listened, thinking that not only his cousin stood up for him, but his brothers also knew how to be polite to him, and he felt warm in his heart.

Under Cao Song's lobbying, after the tenth day of the 10th day of the lunar month, Cao Ying took her children to Haidian Garden, and Sun Zhai ordered the housework to Liang's family.

Cao Ying's descendants were reluctant to part with their brothers at first, so they wanted to go with them, but were stopped by their biological mother.

Liang knew Cao Ying's suffering, and also saw Sun Li's hard work with his own eyes, and knew the importance of the imperial examination to the mother and son. The "boy examination" that was born last year was affected by Sun Li's abandonment due to her son. Even after that, Cao Ying and his son didn't say anything, Liang felt uncomfortable.

Now that Sun Li is behind closed doors for the exam, how could Liang allow his son to disturb him?

The reason why Cao Song was so impatient to send Cao Ying and his son out of the city was because Cao Yong knew that the Ninth Prince would not delay for too long.

This year is the first year for the new emperor to ascend the throne, and the new year is new. On the eighth day of the first lunar month, all major yamen in the capital will start working.

Cao Yong's memorial on farming plans in Zhili, Shandong, Anhui, Henan and other provinces was handed over to the imperial court as early as the New Year, just waiting for Yongzheng to summon him.

Before he could wait for Yongzheng to summon him, he waited for the officers from Shuntian Prefecture to come to the door.

This is also expected.

As early as after Cao Ying left the city, Cao Song told the Liang family and the butler of Sun's house that if outsiders came to the house, they would be pushed directly to Cao's mansion.

Cao Yong calculated his days in his mind. Sun Jue was sent to the yamen on the sixth day of the day. It has been three days since then, and he has suffered all the hardships he deserves, and the Sun family members should have arrived.

He himself did not show up, and only asked Cao Yuan to take his post and go to Shuntian Prefecture's yamen to "bail" Sun Jue. As for how much money he spent, he didn't care about it, after all, the Sun family would pay the bill in the end.

At this time, Chen Shouchuang, the prefect of Shuntian Prefecture, who had not been in office for a long time, was very angry.

He originally thought that Sun Jue was just a scam, but he didn't take it seriously. Unexpectedly, when Kaiyao interrogated, he also found out that the identity of a former doctor of the Ministry of Personnel was found, behind the Cao family, Sun family, and Pingjun Prince's Mansion.

Unexpectedly, before the chief officer passed the court, Sun Jue suffered, and there was no good piece of meat under his clothes. If Sun Jue hadn't suffered so much that he shouted in the court, he would have been kept in his bones.

It’s not that those people have threatened Sun Jue, but Sun Jue is really afraid. He has also become an official and has heard of the twists and turns in the yamen.

In his capacity, he shouldn't have been sent to the Shuntian Prefecture Office, let alone lynching. Now that he has suffered all the sins he shouldn't have suffered, he also knows that he has offended someone he shouldn't have offended. After thinking about it, he doesn't know where his enemy is.

Until now, when recalling Hua's gentle little intention, he still doesn't want to believe that he met a female bachelor. If he really met a liar, then the other party would just kidnap something and run away. How could he still suffer?

Thinking of what Hua said that Hua's stepson was a vicious person, Sun Jue thought he had found an enemy.

Therefore, when he arrived at the lobby, he made a fuss regardless of the situation.

Chen Shouchuang asked someone to touch Sun Jue's clothes to check. It was covered in scars and could tell at a glance that it was a new injury.

He wanted to investigate, but the masters and Zao Li in the yamen were all old men, so he could not deal with the methods of this, even a censor.

After a long search, there was no clue at all. It seemed that the wife in the yamen was ordinary, and he, the new chief, was a stranger...

The complexity of this is not just the master. Zaoli accepted bribes to vent his personal anger, which has affected the rights of his chief official and cannot be abandoned anymore.

Although Chen Shouchuang is only a third-rank prefect, he has the right to hand over the sign and ask for a visit because he is a parent at the feet of the emperor.

This place of the government office is a place where the country is correct. If it is not calm here, where will the people go to seek justice?

If it were someone else, he might have thought of sending Sun Jue to the government office of the infantry army immediately and breaking up with him. However, Chen Shouchuang is a stern censor, so how could he seek the best?

Not only did he report to the emperor about the love affairs in the Shuntian Prefecture Office, he also wrote a separate memorandum, impeaching Hangzhou Weaving Sun Wen to "give upright children."

The memorial to impeach the Sun family was not the first or the last one. Yongzheng just glanced and knocked down the side; the ill-fated affairs in the Shuntian Prefecture government made him look bad.

He had long been eyeing Sun Jue. He knew that Sun Jue was deceived and sent to Shuntian Mansion. Behind this, the Ninth Prince was promoted, so he didn't take it seriously.

However, he did not expect that the Ninth Prince's hand was so long that he could run rampant in the Shuntian Prefecture yamen.

Actually, he was thinking too much.

The reason why the Shuntian Mansion cleaned up Sun Jue was just a saying, "Money can make the devil push the mill."

As for the documents and documents, Zao Li, who protects each other and does not reveal any slightest voice in front of the chief official, it is also the way for the little people to survive.

Yongzheng was in a high position, but he was thinking about whether his dragon throne was stable or not.

What he thought was that there were servants in Shuntian Prefecture, and there were still many people. The Ninth Prince reached out to Shuntian Prefecture, what was he meant? Is he his own intention or planning for others?

"Investigate, thoroughly investigate!" Yongzheng said in a deep voice when he thought of this.

Chen Shouchuang responded loudly, and he had the same idea in his heart. Since he could catch Yongzheng's eyes, it can be seen that he has good ethics. Now that he has taken office and is blinded by the minor officials below, how can he stand it?

At this time, it is no longer important to him whether he will offend the Ninth Prince, the Cao family, and the Prince's Mansion.

For him, he wanted to thoroughly investigate the rats in Shuntian Prefecture and not allow them to continue to do evil.

Therefore, when Cao Yuan arrived at the Shuntian Prefecture Office, he was unable to "bail" Sun Jue.

Next, there was a "strict investigation" in the Shuntian Prefecture yamen.

Since Sun Jue was imprisoned, none of the clerks and yamen runners who were in charge ran away. They were dragged to the lobby one by one and "cracking" to slam the board.

If this harsh move continues, some people can't stand it and start to bite it out. In order to get rid of the crime, everyone does not mind that there are too many people and breaks down all the private matters they know.

Even if there is nothing to do with Sun Jue’s case, there are not many clean ones.

There were more than a dozen cases involved, accounting for half of the prisoners detained by the Shuntian Prefecture Office. The amount involved was tens of thousands of taels of silver, and more than ten officials and families involved were involved.
