The phoenix came to the ceremony (23)

It was very surprising that the person who came to the Xia family was actually an octogenarian.

He bowed tremblingly, and he couldn't get up after kneeling down. Lin Yutong asked Tianfu to help the person up and gave him a seat.

Xia Yinshan sat down and said: Your Highness, is the Caomin here to take the crime?

Tian Fu whispered in Lin Yutong's ear: Just now I got the news that Xia Jinhe, the head of the Xia family, died of illness.

Lin Yutong narrowed her eyes and looked at Xia Yinshan sharply: Oh? I will accept the crime. Then tell me, what crime should I be?

The nine clans were killed, and the crime was unforgivable. After Xia Yinshan said calmly, he said again: But even ants live in secret, and the grass people also want to make a life for the family and young.

Well. Lin Yutong smiled. God also has the virtue of living a life, and I am not a murderer. Tell me, what are you going to exchange for the life of the Xia family?

Xia Yinshan was silent for a long time before he said: In the summer, the Xia family had the accounts of wealthy merchants from various Jiangnan families. He was not afraid of his highness's jokes. Caomin's unscrupulous son, in order to be the richest man in the world, he really put in a lot of effort. Who has the money and land and shops? He, an outsider, is afraid that he will be more detailed than the head of the family knows.

Lin Yutong raised her eyebrows: I really put in hard work.

Xia Yinshan bowed his head: Caomin knew that His Highness had doubts, and Caomin was definitely not talking nonsense. The Xia family has detailed records of these and has account books to check. When His Highness saw the evidence, he thought he understood everything.

Um!

The collusion between officials and businessmen, and after circumcising the business's foundation, there was evidence of the officials' embezzlement.

What about the evidence? Lin Yutong raised her eyes and asked him.

Xia Yinshan trembled and took out a bunch of keys. They were all waiting outside the old housekeeper of the Xia family’s ancestral tomb. His Highness just beat people to get them.

As soon as the Xia family died, no doubt about how many people went to the ancestral grave, how many cars they brought, and how much noise they made. This old man is really the number one person.

Lin Yutong signaled Tianfu to go forward and took the key. Then she didn't leave anyone. The son died at home. Although the time for death was a coincidence, it was no better to be coincidental. But he was already dead. How did he die? There was nothing worth pursuing when the Xia family came up with evidence. She only signaled Tianfu to send the person out, and gave the other party an obvious statement: Evil will be eliminated. If the rest of the people are not guilty of the crime, it is not a matter of crime. All assets will only recover the illegal gains.

Xia Yinshan looked up at Lin Yutong in surprise: Take back the illegal gains?

What does it mean to recover illegal gains? Shouldn’t it be a confiscation of property?

I am not a bandit, and I can't do anything to force and rob. Lin Yutong is in his heart. As long as he does business honestly and pays taxes in a proper manner, the money is yours. No one has the right to rob it.

Xia Yinshan knelt down mechanically with a sleepwalking expression on his face: Your Highness is wise

From ancient times to the present, all the wealthy businessmen have fallen to the best. What they want is nothing more than that.

Tian Fu helped the person up, and Lin Yutong asked again: As far as I know, the sudden rise of the Xia family from the merchants is related to a woman. I wonder if it is true?

this

Xia Yinshan stiffened for a moment before nodding slowly: I dare not deceive Your Highness. Is it true! The Xia family's salt-making method comes from a woman, but I have never seen this woman again in recent years.

Oh? Lin Yutong is puzzled: The method of making salt is for free for you?

It wasn't that Xia Yinshan shook her head, and used the salt-making method she gave to make, and took 30% of the profits she gained in Hengchang pawnshop. The other party just needed to take the seal and take it away. We also asked people to pay attention to the person who took the right person, but the person who took the right person was different every time, and it was also unruly. It took us several years to be sure that this woman should be in the palace.

In the palace?

After Lin Yutong remembered it in her heart, she nodded to Tianfu and signaled that he could send the person away.

When the man left, the third lady came out of the inner room: it seemed that the woman was still in the palace.

Is it Concubine Hua? Lin Yutong asked the third lady. She didn't believe that she had never doubted it so much.

The third lady shook her head: Not sure, but I think it was. The woman who claimed to be Xiaolongnu, who was attracted to Yin Taishi, but Yin Taishi had a wife and son at that time, Yin Taishi refused to divorce her. He had a relationship with our Wuzhusi's commander at that time. Both of them thought that this woman was ominous, so they sent someone to kill her. She originally thought that the matter was over, but she didn't want to wait for Wuzhusi to be a massacre that no one expected. The rest of us now are all survivors of the massacre. I thought it was not clear what she had given birth to. But later, Concubine Li was taken into the palace and was loved again. Out of habit, I obscenely beat people to check the past of Concubine Li. There was nothing strange about it, and I could only say that she was a bit beautiful. There were two silks at home.

There is no capital to be loved by a satin shop, with a hundred acres of land. The only thing that attracts attention is that Concubine Li had a serious illness before. It is said that after the illness recovered, the Li family invited monks and Taoists to chant scriptures at home, saying that it was to exorcise evil people and why they were infected. The people of the Li family kept their mouths on this and did not find out. But after seeing the Li family's actions, they could guess some clues. The Li family got the title of Chief Li because Concubine Li, but even Concubine Li's parents were not close to her. Even no matter what important days, the Li family made various excuses. They have never been to the palace for so many years. They are not as simple as not getting close to each other, but they don't contact at all. Your Highness, do you think this is normal?

Unless someone appears, the daughter is not his daughter anymore.

Lin Yutong seemed to have heard that since the emperor got Concubine Li, he had lived a small life with Concubine Li. In the palace, men farmed and women weaved. I think that Concubine Li during this period should be that woman.

But when did this woman abandon Concubine Li's skin? Who knows?

Is it related to this woman that Yin Bofang’s wife died early? Hua Yingxue was raised in the Yin family back then, was she really just Hua Yingxue?

These mysteries can probably be explained clearly by Emperor Xuanping and Yin Bo.

Lin Yutong said: Don’t worry, no matter what she is now, I will definitely find her. I will avenge you for the revenge of Wuzhusi.

The third lady looked at Lin Yutong seriously. How could His Highness surely be able to catch her?

She changed her skin repeatedly, either she was not satisfied with her life state, or she had problems with herself and could not control the original owner's body.

Moreover, if the Wuji Palace in the palace was not her intention, how could Emperor Xuanping be persistent? There must be something she needs in it.

So, I asked the third lady back: How much do you know about Wuji Palace?

The third lady shook her head: Everyone seems to know Wuji Palace, but no one knows what is inside.

But this must have something to do with that woman. Lin Yutong laughed. The emperor almost always wanted to build the Wuji Palace at all costs. There must be an answer we want to know. No, that place is not important to the emperor, but to that woman

The third lady pondered: It makes sense to say this. She smiled and the expression on her face slowly eased: But no matter whether she can avenge this revenge, the ministers and others will be grateful to the rehabilitation of the Wuzhusi’s unjust case.

A ‘subject’ is willing to obey orders.

Lin Yutong breathed a sigh of relief. Who told me that we need a man who is absolutely trustworthy now? They are a little hungry. She quickly said: Take someone to the Xia family to dig up evidence. The money will not be short of this time. Your salary for the past few years and the pensions of the late Five Worm Brothers will not owe everyone after the matter is done.

In fact, Lin Yutong is really short of money now.

She was a little scared when she only opened one box of the account books she brought back from the Xia family.

Xia Jinhe is really a talented person who can keep these opponents so clean. At this moment, Lin Yutong was looking at the account he remembered by the Diao family. The things in this account were all burial objects. For example, the tomb of the Diao family was stuffed with gold in the cracks between the bluestone slabs. Every tomb is not empty.

Chen Yunhe was amazed at the sight: This Diao family is really tricky.

In fact, this is not a trick. It's just a plan ahead. If something happens at home, the gold hidden in this grave will be the capital for future generations to make a comeback.

The box that puts the account book can be kept half of the room. Then lock Chen Yunhe inside and ask him to go to count. The outside asked Tianfu to send someone to guard it.

Originally, Lin Yutong planned to go to the academy, but now Lin Yutong has completely changed her plan.

Not going!

Just ask people to go out and post the list.

What list?

List of talents.

Not only did it post on the street, but it also went to the entrances of various large academies and small private schools.

As long as you can write and calculate, you can come. As for the treatment, it will be even more attractive.

The grandson will select those with excellent talents from among them and be awarded official positions. The higher ones can reach the second rank, and the lower ones are also the □□□□□□□□□□□□□□□□□□□□□□□□□□□□□□□□□□□□□□□□□□□□□□□□□□□□□□□□□□□□□□□□□□□□□□□□

There are more than a dozen scholars and scholars in Jinling alone. Most of them study here.

If you post the list of talent seeking is like this, it will be immediately done.

After reading the list of talent seeking talents, my first reaction was: Is this thing trustworthy?

The people around said: Trusted! Why can't it be trustworthy? So many officials and masters

Everyone was tacit, yes! Yes! The court always wants to hire people. What's wrong with trying it out?

This is what is being discussed in the restaurant and inn.

Qiu Zongchao is the accountant of a restaurant, and he just stands at the counter to keep accounts every day. This job is found by his uncle who asked someone to help him. Compared to farming in the countryside, he can get one tael of silver a month. If the boss is willing to give him a favor and reward of three or five taels at the end of the year, he can earn about ten taels a year. This money can support his family. If the parents, wives and children are farming in their hometown, their family life will still be rich. However, the family has been forced to buy a few acres of paddy fields. Parents, wives and children have no support.

He just brought his family to Jinling to join him. Originally, he lived in the store, but when his family came, he couldn't ask his family to live in the store. Finally, he rented two houses in the outer city, which was temporarily settled. However, the child at home was young, his wife was pregnant, and his father was sick again. The little money he sold for paddy fields rented a house and grabbed medicine. After buying food, the rest was really not much. One tael of silver a month, how could this money be enough? He couldn't bear to have this stable job, but if he didn't find a way, he wouldn't have lived.

He was careful and asked the shopkeeper: I want to take a few days off

The shopkeeper sneered: Zong Chao, the boss treats you well. You just want to find another branch when you hear the news. Of course, we can't stop your future. But you can't dominate one pile and run for another pile. In this way, you might as well give up your errands and let's take advantage of it.

Qiu Zongchao's face was flushed. The shopkeeper's words were not nice, but what he did was unauthentic.

If we continue to argue, it will be a bit shameless.

He bowed repeatedly: It's really a disaster at home. The whole family is waiting for dinner. Please forgive me, the shopkeeper.

The shopkeeper's face was unpleasant, but he didn't make things difficult for anyone. This month you didn't work until the end of the month, and I wouldn't cheat you. After working for seventeen days, I gave you six cents of silver and stuffed them in.

Qiu Zongchao thanked him repeatedly, packed up his greetings, and was reluctant to call a mule cart, so he carried it away.

But when I came out, I didn't dare to go home with my things. When I went back like this, my parents were only more worried.

I want to go to the inn, but I can't bear the little money.

So I simply gritted my teeth and went straight to the creek garden.

At this time, no one was seen at the entrance of the Xiyuan Garden. He doubted whether he had read the notice wrong. Seeing that the Xiyuan Garden was surrounded by people in black clothes and looked solemn, he became timid first.

After a long time, I moved forward two steps and was thinking about whether to go over, but I saw a table and chair being moved out, with pen, ink, paper and ink on the table.

When I saw him, I greeted him. Did you come from the list of talent seeking talents? Come and write your resume.

They are all very kind.

He carried the bedding over and put it aside. Sorry, he just quit his job.

This person said: It’s okay. Write your resume first, what is your name, wherever you are, what are you in your family, where you live now, whether you have any fame or not, if you have no fame or honor, write what you are good at.

He went over tremblingly and wrote his situation briefly. The words were not good, he could only say that they were well-organized and could only read them.

Then a servant took his watch and followed me.
