Chapter 275： Mystery gift

Chapter 275 Mysterious Gift

Chang Yanjue and Nie Huai'an have always suspected that there is another mastermind behind the tax and bank case, and they even guessed that someone deliberately used it to frame themselves as a student.

It's just that since the incident, all the clues that have been traced have disappeared with the deaths of the former classic history Han Zhang and the third eldest princess Lin Luochu.

Looking at Lin Jinxiao, who was deep in thought, Chang Yanjue said with a deep expression, "Now that the forces from all sides have begun to surge, Nan Zhi can indeed come in handy. With her investigative ability, she must be able to surge here. Gained something in the undercurrent."

At this point, in the quiet inner hall, several people picked up teacups, took a sip, and continued to listen to Chang Yanjue's sermon:

"Over the years, the Tingwei Mansion has long been a magic weapon for the kings in Beijing to balance power, so that there are countless unjust cases accumulated by misjudgment and ulterior motives. Today, when I return to the mansion, I will write back to Princess Shu and jointly recommend Nan Zhi to be the Tingwei with your Teacher Nie. Let’s see if we can let her and Hu Maoxi go to Beijing in a car before the New Year’s Eve, and get a patrol officer from Tingwei Shi.”

"Well, after all, Nan Zhi is married and has a few children to take care of. If she can be confiscated by the imperial court and serve as the inspector of the three counties in the east, the two of you, husband and wife, can still have many reunions in the future. day."

Nie Huai'an took Chang Yanjue's suggestion seriously, and frowned and said with a smile: "Da Lang, Nan Zhi has the ability, but she doesn't come from a family of legal scholars. You should tell her to learn more about legal studies when you go back. Documents, to be used for examination by His Majesty in Beijing."

“Students remember.”

Lin Jinxiao replied respectfully.

Naturally, he didn't dare to be sloppy about this matter, and asked his two mentors to recommend Chu Nanzhi to the court. If the name was not worthy of the name, she would be punished. But it's not right.

However, I have witnessed her demeanor in the court in Haikang County. She doesn't seem to be someone who doesn't know the law. On the contrary, she is very proficient.

So, for this, he is very confident.

After talking about this, Chang Yanjue's face suddenly became gloomy again, and he said solemnly: "Xiao'er, the teacher has already obeyed you one by one, and then you still have to consider coming over as a teacher and Mr. Nie." things."

"Oh, did the two benefactors come here to beg for venison?"

Lin Jinxiao probably guessed that they came for the mother and daughter of the Chen family kneeling outside the door, but pretended not to know and turned the topic elsewhere: "It's the students' fault, so I sent bear legs to the two mentors, and the venison queen The chef is already cooking, so the second elder will stay, and in the evening, the students will accompany the second elder to eat venison and drink some thin wine."

Chang Yanjue saw that he was now as ghostly as his lady, completely out of shape, and immediately became angry, and angrily knocked the crutches on the ground several times, and said loudly:

"Don't pretend to be a teacher. I think you are being led by your wife. You are an official. You came from a filial family and have two honors. How can you be like Nan Zhi, with a wife?" From a human point of view, the Chen family is the widow of Ting Shu, and Lin Jinhong and Lin Jinyun are the heirs of Ting Shu, no matter how many people are wrong, you should not expel them from the clan, if not back then."

"Ahem."

Before Chang Yanjue could finish his words filled with righteous indignation, Nie Huai'an coughed a few times and motioned to go over.

Chang Yanjue immediately came to his senses, and said slowly: "Da Lang, your stepmother is also your mother, if you violate the principles of filial piety, benevolence, and righteousness, you will definitely attract criticism from many people with ulterior motives, and your career as an official will definitely be jeopardized." It will leave a lasting mark.”

As soon as he finished speaking, Nie Huai'an also followed suit: "Da Lang, you really need to be more cautious about this matter. The virtues of Chen's mother and son are well known in the entire Anlin Village, but the people in this world don't know the twists and turns. , now that you are the parent officer of Luyan Port, you still have to set an example, how decent it is for you to let the mother and daughter kneel in front of the county government gate in broad daylight."

"Teacher, you really wronged the students."

Lin Jinxiao smiled kindly with bright eyes: "The students really don't know when they came."

"In that case, you should hurry up and invite them in."

Nie Huai'an persuaded with all eyes and compassion: "You are worried that they will continue to embarrass Nan Zhi's mother and son, but you are underestimating that girl. Nan Zhi's girl is not something they can get now, at most it is only a whole day. It's nothing more than a disgusting person dangling in front of you, how can you not encounter a few disgusting things in your life, if Nan Zhi can't even bear this grievance, how can she become an official?"

Lin Jinxiao was also a little moved when he heard it.

After all, it was the second elder's order, and he dared not disobey it.

Just thinking about those old things, he couldn't swallow this breath.

But if you think about it carefully, this is not how people live: when they climb high, they are praised, and when they fall, they are trampled on.

Chen's mother and daughter treat themselves like this, and everyone else is like this.

After calculations, there are only a few people who are devoted to him, so why should he go into it.

Indeed, one should have an inclusive mentality in order to accommodate all things.

Thinking of this, he solemnly said to the two elders: "Since it is the two teachers who are interceding, the students can invite them in. The students also know that the second elders are thinking about the students' official voice, but the students have their words first. If her mother and son are honest I can live a peaceful life, and I don’t need to worry about the past, but if they interfere with the students’ family affairs with ulterior motives, the students will either invite them to leave the clan, or send them to prison.”

After hearing this, the two elders looked at each other and sighed: "Let's just do our best."

In the courtyard of the Chu family, after everyone finished their meal, Chu Nanzhi's mother and daughter led the family to send off the relatives one after another, and then saw Li Ce coming in on a big horse.

Chu Nanzhi looked at his sweating head, and asked with great concern: "Sanlang, why are you here when you have time?"

Today is the day when he was promoted to the official history. He jumped from an unknown traveler to a high-ranking official. It is such a pleasure to be promoted and raise his salary. He should perform well on the first day of taking office, but he even came out to hang out leisurely.

Looking at the exquisite gift box in his hand, he immediately guessed that it might have been ordered by Lin Jinxiao.

Li Ce handed over the gift box in his hand with an embarrassing face, and said with a naive smile: "Sister-in-law, this is specially sent by my brother, and my brother also ordered you to keep it properly."

"What is so precious, packed in such an exquisite gift box, and you want me to keep it safe?"

Chu Nanzhi received it in her hand in a daze, and saw Li Ce mysteriously leave in a hurry.

Seeing this, Liu Yun and her family gathered together.

Liu Shuyang hurriedly urged: "Eldest sister, open it quickly and have a look. Is it something good that those wealthy gentry in the county gave to brother-in-law? He deliberately asked Li Sanlang to send it urgently to please you?"

The quadruplets couldn't wait even more, and followed suit: "Mother, let us see, what good things did Daddy bring back?"

Liu Yun opened the wooden box with joy, then stared at it for a while with dumbfounded eyes, suddenly showed a shy smile, closed the box and ran into the back room.
