Chapter 71

On the afternoon of the first day of the first day, Lan Jue left the palace after the imperial banquet, with his eyes blurred and his legs weak. Fortunately, everything was perfect this time. At the imperial banquet, Emperor Yongxuan said, "Gong Aiqing and the rest of the Ministry of Rites have worked hard." When he said the other two words, his eyes fell on him. Lan Jue followed Gong Shangshu and thanked him for his kindness, and kept his promises without any dispute. He was always praised by Gong Shangshu, and Gong Shangshu was also moved.

After leaving the seat, the kings and some old ministers had something to say with Gong Shangshu, so Lan Jue took a step forward and saw from a distance that Wang Yan and Feng Tai bowed each other to celebrate the New Year. When Lan Jue approached, the two were talking with smiles.

Lan Jue also gave a few congratulations to each other. After Feng Tai left, he smiled and said, "It seems that the friendship between the Ministry of Justice and Jingzhao Mansion will have a new look in the New Year."

Wang Yan grinned: "This old Feng, after talking to me, I don't know how many stacks of papers I burned for me in my heart. If it weren't for the headquarters, how could he have added a new branch under his tent? I didn't thank me. By the way, you don't know yet?"

Lan Jue raised his eyebrows slightly.

Wang Yan said: "It is the boy named Zhang who you and our Shangshu love very much. This time, he helped Deng Xu a lot. Deng Xu originally wanted him to go to Dali Temple, but he didn't want to succeed. The emperor gave him to Feng Tai and sent him to Fengle County. It should be the orders issued by these two days."

Lan Jue was slightly surprised.

Wang Yan looked at him and said, "I have made a contribution to this matter without any intention."

The Ministry of Justice and Jingzhao Prefecture have accumulated grievances due to the robbery of the case, and they are like fire and fire. They arrange their own personnel to patrol the entire capital, striving not to let go of every crime, and even install undercover agents near each other's yamen.

Wang Yan went to Dali Temple to grab the case. After getting disappointed, Feng Tai learned that he was very happy. He thought that Wang Yan would definitely drag his father's thighs to take back his face and the case from Deng Xu, waiting to see it, and he couldn't help but relax.

However, on a sunny afternoon, a small detective from the Ministry of Justice accidentally went to the gate of Jingzhao Mansion by casual clothes. He just wanted to have some tea and sat in the tea shed diagonally opposite the gate of Jingzhao Mansion. He accidentally saw an old man looking at the gate of Jingzhao Mansion from afar, hesitating.

The young constable was a kind-hearted person, so he walked forward. The old man grabbed him and asked, but he knew what steps needed to report the case to Jingzhao Mansion. Should he ask the yamen runners directly in front of the door or be beat the drum first.

The young constable then helped the old man aside and asked the father-in-law what to do to report to the official.

The father-in-law said that he was a family member of Yao Yuanwai, the young master of Yao Yuanwai was lost. The magistrate came to Beijing at the end of the year. The county government could not use his power. The young master had been lost for a few days, so he came to Jingzhao Prefecture to report to the officials.

The little constable said that Lord Feng from Jingzhao Mansion is the famous Qingtian and will definitely solve the case. Please rest assured. Go quickly to the yamen runners in front of the door to report to the officials, and they will ask you something. If the person in the punishment room is still in the yamen at this time, you can take you to the punishment room to record a case. If you have left, you have to wait tomorrow. After the case is recorded, the punishment room will decide the case. Let's see if they are busy at the end of the year. If they are busy, they will wait for two more days. If they are not busy, they will make a decision to investigate or not. If they are not busy, they will be busy in about two or three days. If they are busy, they will go to your county to investigate. If they are too busy for a while, they will have to wait a little longer.

Wang Yan said to Lan Jue: "This is all about telling the truth."

Lan Jue was silent.

The old man calculated with his fingers and was shocked. When the officials came to investigate, if my young master had not been able to find him, he would have long since...

The young constable said, there is nothing we can do about this. The yamen must do business according to the regulations. Your father-in-law, you can know people from Jingzhao Mansion. If you know someone, it will be faster and easier to deal with.

The old man said, "I don't know each other, and then grabbed the constable and asked, "Do you know each other?" The family member must thank you very much. He bowed repeatedly.

The young constable quickly said honestly that if I could help, I would definitely help me, so how could I ask for any thanks? I know the people in Jingzhao Mansion, but I don’t have a good relationship. I am not a friend. If they knew that my father-in-law knew me, they would not handle your case well. That’s why I talked to my father-in-law behind the wall.

The old man was at a loss. The young constable saw an old man of such an old age and tears were about to come down. He couldn't bear it, so he said, "In fact, besides Jingzhao Mansion, the father-in-law can also go to the Ministry of Justice to report the case. It's fast."

Wang Yan said: "This is the truth, it's faster than them."

Lan Jue continued to listen.

My father-in-law asked, Ministry of Justice, is it in charge of this case?

The little detective and the Ministry of Justice are specialized in the case.

The father-in-law cried again, "But the Ministry of Justice, do you have to know people faster? If you delay for a while, my youngest son's life will be..."

The young detective immediately comforted: "Don't worry, my father-in-law, you know the people from the Ministry of Justice. I am from the Ministry of Justice."

Wang Yan said: "Our Ministry of Justice has always been cautious in treating cases of all sizes. The case was first handled as a missing case. As a result, when I went to the Yao family to investigate, the young master who lost his family had already returned. His family was not aware of the key points, so they were making trouble with some gods and ghosts. There is a grandma temple in Fengle County that said the young master who lost was taken by his grandma. I thought it was related to the case that Deng Xu investigated, so I went there in person."

Lan Jue smiled and said, "Oh, I know that grandma's temple. My family was originally in Jiuhe County, not far from Fengle County. Since I was a child, I heard that the grandma's temple in Fengle County was very effective. In the nearby counties, even some women from Beijing went to the temple to pray for their children."

Wang Yan said: "It's so evil. He also said that in the past, he had to present a pair of six-year-old boys to Grandma's temple every three years, and he would have to be released before he was nine years old. It was not until a few years ago that he had to get rid of this bad habit."

The Yao family said that the young master of his family didn't go out of the door and would know that he would study in the house every day, but suddenly he lost it. I'm afraid his grandmother has not had a virgin for many years and is too lonely.

After the young master Yao suddenly came back, his eyes were sunken, withered and silent, and he was confused all day long, as if he was not even full of soul.

Wang Yan sneered: "It's so ridiculous. At the age of nineteen, he can still say that he was photographed and became a virgin. At this age, even the woman was in a state of anxiety. She could be a man quietly staying at home? You could tell at a glance that the fairy that sucked him dry must be in the mansion. Sure enough, after a little check, he found that it was a nurse in the side room."

The nurse was more than ten years older than Young Master Yao. Young Master Yao was fascinated by her and wanted to take her to elope. The nurse knew that she would definitely not be able to grow up. She took advantage of the time she quit her job and had a few days of sweetness with Young Master Yao, and then ran into the arms of a grain dealer with a big belly and a round waist.

"It's just a case, it will be solved in less than two hours. What a big deal, Feng Tai found out, and then cried and ran to sue the emperor."

Feng Tai reported to Emperor Yongxuan that a small local case was enough to be solved by a county government. The Minister of Justice actually went to investigate in person, but in fact he ignored the rules of the court and acted recklessly beyond his authority.

"It's ridiculous. It was because of his subordinates who had dereliction of duty. The people had cases but no one was in charge. They had to go to Beijing to report the case. And just listening to the old man's words, they disappeared for no reason, and involved some gods and ghosts. How could they know the size? I told the emperor that this case should be solved by Jingzhao Mansion, and I don't have any credit. As we Lord Tao said, the ministers and the ministries must assist in cooperation."

Lan Jue can imagine Feng Tai's expression and mood at that time.

Wang Yan laughed and said, "Do you know how Feng Tai reacted at that time? He actually looked like a Western man was about to faint, which made the emperor ask two little eunuchs to support him. Then he said, because of me, he doesn't know how to be the Jingzhao Yin, and he wants to resign. I immediately said, Jingzhao Yin's responsibilities are so important, and it's not our Ministry of Justice, which specializes in criminal proceedings and treats one or two cases as a matter. What's the matter? Sharing and cooperation are all for the court."

Lan Jue can even imagine Feng Tai's description at that time.

Wang Yan sneered: "Then Feng Tai stopped doing Xi Shi, that look, alas..."

Emperor Yongxuan had to comfort Feng Tai, saying that because the magistrate of Fengle County was dereliction of duty, I personally chose another magistrate for Feng Aiqing.

Wang Yan said: "I heard that the emperor wanted to personally select a magistrate, not the Ministry of Personnel, so I thought it might be that screen. I just saw Feng Tai's expression, and I knew it would be wrong. He had been lucky enough to solve the case first. Looking at this layer, Feng Tai would definitely treat him well."

Lan Jue thought, it may not be.

Wang Yan laughed again: "Actually, I don't care. I'm afraid Deng Xu and we Lord Tao will be lost. Forget it, there is no need to mention such a small matter. Yes, Peizhi, I have made some strange things and some good wine. You must have a break from the second day of the lunar month today. Do you have time tonight on the third day of the lunar month? Please have wine."

Lan Jue smiled and thanked him, and walked out of the palace gate with Wang Yan and returned home.

After stepping into the threshold, Lan Jue ordered people to go to Liu Mansion to pick up Lan Hui. He took this opportunity to go to the bedroom for a moment. When he was wearing a loose dress, he said to the servant: "Come to Chunhe Pavilion to see it. If the screen is there, ask him if he has made any arrangements and let him eat here if he has nothing to do."
