Chapter 831: Hit the Sap(1/2)
Wang Shouren has made arrangements yesterday.
Zhao Ce followed his words and summoned his classmates to make arrangements.
The matter of taxes and money actually concerns more than just Zhao Ce himself.
In ancient times, basically all fellow villagers were connected by a bond.
Especially officialdom.
It is basically impossible for a person to fight alone.
Zhao Ce is the person with the highest status and the greatest connections among them.
No fellow countryman would refuse to help Zhao Ce at this time.
So after Zhao Ce made arrangements, the fellow villagers left the inn one after another.
Or go together to find students you know, or go directly to teahouses or restaurants where local talents gather.
...
After Zhao Ce made arrangements, he went upstairs.
Su Cai'er had just finished feeding Xiao Bao some complementary food and was wiping her hands and feet.
When Xiaobao saw his father coming in, he made a "beep" sound and stretched out his chubby hand.
As soon as he opened his mouth, he felt his eyes go dark.
The cloth soaked in water stuck to her face.
After Su Caier finished wiping her face, she reacted in a daze.
He continued to stretch his hand towards his father.
Zhao Ce walked over and picked her up.
He touched her belly, which was full after eating, and kissed her soft and tender little face.
"Is my little baby full?"
Xiaobao smiled "baiya" and hugged her father's arms happily.
Aunt Chen took out the remaining dishes and closed the door.
There were only a family of three left in the room.
As soon as Su Cai'er sat down, Zhao Ce asked, "We have nothing to do today."
"Would you like to go out for a walk?"
Su Cai'er said: "Want to take Xiaobao out?"
They are living in an inn now. The couple goes out and leaves Xiaobao in the inn. Naturally, they are worried.
Zhao Ce said: "Take it with you."
"The roads in the city are very flat, so you can take your baby out in a stroller."
Now that Xiaobao has grown up, he can already sit very firmly.
Zhao Ce redesigned a sitting stroller for her.
Seeing what Zhao Ce said, Su Cai'er also wanted to go out and take a look.
The two found a stroller and put the little baby on it.
After fastening her seat belt, the family went out for shopping.
...
At the same time.
A group of students from out of town appeared in the local area in a swaggering manner.
When anyone asked me, I would say that I was a student from Gaozhou Prefecture, Guangdong.
After taking part in the examination this time, I am preparing to return home.
Some people who didn't know Zhao Ce was arrested deliberately brought up the topic.
"Everyone knows about Dingxihou who cured smallpox and presented sweet potatoes, right?"
"That's us from Gaozhou Prefecture, and also my classmate."
"Not long ago, tax money was stolen. His Majesty, under pressure, arrested him and sent him to prison. Guess what happened?"
Song Lijie walked around the capital for a long time and got to know many students from other places.
When he arrived in Qingzhou, he actually knew some students.
He brought several classmates to the door, and asked them to take him directly to the most prosperous restaurant in the area, and forcefully joined the banquet being held there.
This was the time when the imperial examination was over.
The students' banquets, big and small, can be said to be non-stop every day.
After Song Lijie sneaked in, he didn't hold back his voice at all, grabbing people and talking enthusiastically.
The name Dingxihou is naturally like thunder to the ears of everyone present.
After all, those are the ones they look up to.
After listening to Song Lijie's words, some people couldn't help but ask questions.
"Is this tax money theft still related to him?"
"I thought he had made great achievements, and he had just passed the sixth grade, which was the time when he was most favored."
"If you are sentenced to prison, you will not be able to shed your skin until you die?"
Song Lijie shook his head.
"No."
"This tax and bank case has nothing to do with him at all!"
"Before we set off for our hometown, we received his letter."
"The letter states that Your Majesty is also well aware of his grievances, so he will appoint him as the censor of the patrol, send a large team of royal guards to accompany him, and personally go to Qingzhou to investigate the tax bank theft case."
"You all know Jin Yiwei, right?"
"It goes without saying that they are ruthless, but they are all good investigators!"
"I heard that even if we whisper something in the room, they can hear it!"
"As long as they take action, it is estimated that this tax and bank case will be solved by them within a few days."
"Therefore, our group will stop in Qingzhou and wait for Marquis Dingxi to return home together after he investigates the tax bank case."
Song Lijie got excited and opened the folding fan in his hand with a "swish" sound.
"After the case is investigated, it won't affect the time to return home."
"We just happen to stay here these few days to eat and drink, and wait with peace of mind."
Song Lijie's words were vivid and vivid, attracting almost everyone's attention.
After everyone heard what he said, they couldn't help but feel a little scared.
After all, Jin Yiwei is an organization, and every scholar has heard of their glorious deeds.
Since the founding of the dynasty.
How many major injustice cases have Jin Yiwei created?
It can be said that the prison was washed over and over again with the blood of civil servants.
Now a large number of Jin Yiwei are dispatched to investigate the tax and bank case.
Judging from the formation, it must be found out within a short period of time.
In this case, they will definitely use whatever means necessary.
Even innocent people are very likely to be implicated.
If it cannot be found out by then, it is more likely that someone will be found at random to take the blame.
With everyone thinking this way, they were not even in the mood to attend the banquet.
After deliberate publicity by a group of people.
In less than a day.
Almost all the literati and students gathered here knew the news.
...
By the afternoon.
On Wang Shouren's side, local officials from Qingzhou have come to him to inquire about the news.
"Has Sir Wang received the news from the imperial court that an imperial envoy will be sent?"
To be continued...
