Chapter 300 Sending
He said he would leave the next day, but in fact it was too late.
Tai Shang and others could set off immediately, but because of the assassination, Ding Mingyi and Feng Tang were so nervous that their eyes were bloodshot, and they wished they could guard the big ship like an iron barrel.
By the time they had settled the accompanying Wei Army and Liangjiang Army, it was already three days later, the seventh day of November.
Cao Yu followed the Supreme's instructions and came to see him off.
The Supreme Emperor specially called him to come forward, and earnestly encouraged him a few words, and praised him: "When I went to Jiangyin for inspection, the Magistrate Ouyang was very good. I heard that he was in the same department as you.
"The emperor has a good eye for selecting you two for this imperial examination. I may not be so lucky!
"You should follow the rules and do your job well. When something happens, consult with your Ding Zhitai. Don't be afraid of the local government's constraints. They are just deceiving people by pretending to be a big boss!
"If something happens, don't be afraid of people saying you are nepotism. Just write a letter to the capital and ask your elder brother. If he is undecided, you can write a letter to the emperor or to me. It's all fine!
"I am in the capital, waiting to hear the good news that you have been rewarded for your meritorious service and have taken charge of the area! Don't let me down!"
As he said this, he patted Cao Yu's shoulder with his own hand.
Cao Yu knelt down and kowtowed, choking with sobs, saying: "I, your humble servant, am deeply grateful and will sacrifice my life to repay the great Lord and Your Majesty for your kindness!"
When Taishang heard him crying, his eyes turned red. He bent down, pulled his arms up with both hands, and coaxed him softly:
"Alright, alright! Why are you crying? How old are you? Zhaoqing and Yimin are watching you, aren't you afraid that the girls will laugh at you?"
Cao Yu could hardly control the expression on his face. His tears suddenly stopped. He looked strange, coughed, and quickly lowered his head.
When Tai Shang saw the young man's embarrassed look, he became happy, laughed, and got on the boat.
A group of ministers on the shore knelt down to see him off.
Zhen Xun stared at Cao Yu with a jealous and hateful look, then he looked away and lowered his head.
Jia Jin, Jia Wei and others were also among the crowd seeing him off, looking at Cao Yu from afar with some envy. They sighed softly, "I'm not as good as him!"
When he returned to the mansion, he told Youshi about it and sighed, "Anyone born with intelligence is like this."
Yu Shi shook her head and smiled, "He grew up among the playboys in the capital, and because he is a concubine's son, he will definitely not be favored by his family.
"I have heard about the ups and downs of the court and experienced the intrigues in the harem.
“This is the power of vision and insight.
"If not, how could he be so perceptive as to know the status of various forces in the hearts of the Supreme Lord and the Queen Mother, and how could he fool the King of the North?
“You may not be able to envy these things, but you can make up for them in the future!
"Study hard, and when those people in the capital have established themselves, you can join them!
"When the time comes, just relying on your friendship with Master Feng and the opportunity provided by Princess Zhaoqing, it will be enough for you to step into that circle in the capital!"
After hearing what Youshi said, the two men realized that they had always underestimated the wife of a former third-rank general who had returned from the capital in disgrace!
They all stood up quickly and bowed respectfully in agreement.
Youshi smiled and said, "Rong'er's funeral is over, and the Grand Master and the Princess and the County Master have also left. Now there is only one annoying matter left in our family, and you have to help me with it."
"Please give me your instructions, sister-in-law/mother!" The two of them crossed their arms and bowed.
A cold light flashed in Youshi's eyes: "There are lawless people in the clan, and the good and the bad are mixed together. We need to trim them down!"
"Yes!" the two answered in unison.
Half a month later, Jiangning County Magistrate Cao Yu had just completed the investigation of the truth behind the abduction of Zhen Yinglian when he received six petitions from the Jia clan!
These are all illegal behaviors of the clan members in the past. The clan has already punished them and will now hand them over to the county government to be punished according to the law!
Cao Yu felt so relieved that he quickly invited the elders of the Jia family to come over. He praised the Jia family for their rigorous family management and even wrote a plaque as a gift!
The county government achieved political achievements, the clan gained reputation, and everyone was happy!
This is something for later, let’s not mention it for now.
Let’s talk about the Tai Shang line.
Two days after setting out, the boat passed Yangzhou. With Daiyu's careful reminder, the Emperor finally remembered that Prince Beijing was still being held in custody at the Suzhou prefectural government office!
He hurriedly ordered someone to pass a message to Wei Jun: "Escort" the King of the North back to Beijing immediately!
Just this one sentence gave Wei Jun a headache!
This "escort" is not "escort"!
In other words, the Supreme Lord had not yet decided what to charge the Northern King with. Or, in other words, the Supreme Lord had not yet decided whether to punish the Northern King.
That's why such an ambiguous term is used.
But if so, how should it be delivered?
Do I need to wear shackles? Do I need to have a royal carriage?!
It's so worrying!
Wei Jun discussed with Guan Sheng for a whole day, and finally Guan Sheng volunteered: "How about I go there myself?
"Let's learn from the Supreme Master's incognito style. Bring along a few experts and send the Northern King and his chief secretary to the capital.
"As for Bing, we will listen to the news from the Ministry of Justice and then discuss it."
Wei Jun sighed: "That's all we can do."
The two of them had made their plan, and Guan Sheng set off on a boat at five o'clock the next morning.
That afternoon, the Emperor Zhaoming's decree arrived at the Suzhou government office: "Transfer the case of the extermination of the three families, the case of the Northern King's disrespect, and the case of Jia Hua's corruption to the Dali Temple. The witnesses, evidence, and files, etc., must all be brought to the capital! Leave immediately without delay!"
Wei Jun had a mouthful of blood stuck in his throat!
After working hard, he managed to collect all the evidence and witnesses related to the case, even including the important clue that Princess Zhaoqing specially sent back from the coast!
This imperial edict has nothing to do with me anymore!
Isn't this just marrying off for others? !
However, this was an imperial decree, how could he have any say in it? !
He had no choice but to pack up all the people and belongings with a sad face and order the servants to send them to the capital overnight.
When he was the only one left in the government office dealing with daily affairs, he couldn't help but get more and more angry. Seeing that it was getting dark, he simply went out in casual clothes and took a stroll.
Unexpectedly, after just a few steps, he involuntarily walked to the door of the Lin family's old house.
He subconsciously stopped and glanced at the tightly closed door. He couldn't help but knock on the door: "Is Uncle Lin Jing here?"
The door creaked open, and Lin Jing saw that it was him. He was extremely surprised: "Mr. Prefect? What do you want me to do?"
"Uh..." Wei Jun had a lot to say, but he didn't know where to start.
Just as he was in a daze, a person appeared behind Lin Jing. It was Jia Yun!
Jia Yun smiled at him and extended his hand to invite him in: "Sir, please come in and sit down. Jingbo and I are just about to have a couple of cups of wine. If you don't mind, please take a seat?"
"Okay!" Wei Jun was surprised, and immediately went down the stairs and walked in.
When they were drunk, Lin Jing couldn't stand being drunk, so Du Hu helped him to sleep.
After being questioned by Jia Yun, Wei Jun couldn't help but speak out all his complaints, and banged the table angrily:
"The princess gave me such a wonderful opportunity, but I didn't seize it! I am so incompetent!"
Jia Yun laughed: "Sir, you have caught him! This is how it should be done!"
"Huh?" Wei Jun was stunned.
