Wen Family Has a Wife

After hearing this, Wen Yuanliang muttered helplessly: "It seems that the price you can choose is between 15,000 taels and 30,000 taels, which is not too expensive, and you can buy another Zhuangzi with spare money."

What he was thinking of was Zhuangzi.

Zhuo Qianyu also knew what he was thinking, and said with a light smile: "It must be enough, but Zhuangzi's matter is easy to solve. Most of the Zhuangzi in the suburbs of the capital are from the homes of high officials and nobles, and there is no way to buy them. Farther away, as long as you have money, you can take it, and the place is big, and you can go back and forth on the same day, in my opinion, it’s not far away at all.”

Wen Yuanliang nodded in agreement. He lived in the village since he was a child, and whenever he went out, he would go to the county town or the prefecture.

"Then do it according to the lady's wishes. Why don't we first inquire about the price of Zhuangzi, and then we can figure out what kind of shop we can buy, and then decide what business to do according to the size of the shop."

Zhuo Qianyu's eyes lit up, and he clapped his hands in surprise, "Just follow my husband's wishes. I'll ask my third brother to help me find out."

"Wait." Wen Yuanliang pulled Zhuo Qianyu who was about to rush out, "Don't look for the third uncle, I'll ask the second brother and Zixi what they think, if they want to buy it together, we can go to Lao Zhu alone, it's really a deal If we can’t go to the third uncle again, after all, we will live in the capital for a long time, so it’s not easy to bother the Yue’s family when we encounter problems.”

Zhuo Qianyu thought about it for a while, and it made sense, then he smiled and said, "That's what my husband wants."

When Wen Yuanliang went to Qi Zixi's side, he called Wen Yuanhong and Xue Zheng over, discussed together, and told them what Zhuo Qianyu had inquired about.

Xue Zheng frowned slightly, and after pondering for a long while, he hesitated to speak, "If the shop is so expensive, we may not be able to think about it, so we can only consider buying Zhuangzi first."

With Zhuangzi, at least he is not afraid of starving to death, but the shop is somewhat uncertain.

Since they wanted to see Zhuangzi first, they had no choice but to go out together to Mao'er Lane to find Lao Zhu. As for Feng Hongyu, he was still ill and there was not much money left, so naturally he would not think about these things, and Wen Yuanliang did not. Speak to him.

A group of people arrived at Lao Zhu's house.

When Lao Zhu saw a few people who looked like refugees, he was so shocked that he didn't dare to recognize him, "You guys just joined Chunwei?"

"How do you know?" Wen Yuanliang raised his eyebrows and looked at Lao Zhu with great interest.

Lao Zhu grinned and smiled, "Mr. Wen, although I am a middle-aged man, I have a good ear! Isn't the biggest thing that happened in the entire capital recently Chun Wei? From before to now, there has never been a trial There were so many troubles, and so many people died, tsk tsk tsk, the emperor was angry, blood flowed like a river, just watch, many people will definitely die after a while!"

Wen Yuan's conscience froze, his expression suddenly changed, and he asked: "Old Zhu, do you know something inside, why don't you tell us all about it."

As he spoke, Wen Yuanliang stuffed a small purse into Lao Zhu's hand.

Lao Zhu weighed it up, his smile deepened, and his tone of voice became flattering, "Young Master Wen is too polite, it's just such a small matter, and it's not a big secret, anyone who asks outside will know it, but my old Zhu This is more detailed than others. According to reliable sources, thirty-five people were carried out before and after the imperial examination, of which three died, twelve were seriously ill, and twenty were slightly ill. of.

Those who are still mildly ill are actually very sick. When they came out, they almost only breathed out but not breathed in. Fortunately, the two imperial physicians guarded the Gongyuan, and they were seen and given medicines , but he was prescribed medicine for three days, and the rest had to go outside to find a doctor.

I heard that five or six of those people died one after another, hey! Do you think it's worth dying for a spring? "

Seeing that the faces of Xue Zheng and the others were a little pale, Lao Zhu slapped Hala and said with a smile: "Young masters, don't worry, there are more or less reasons for those accidents, some are old and weak and have to bear it hard, some are The body is not strong,

After being hit, coupled with the cold and refusing to leave the examination room in time, there was no medical treatment for the delay, and there was a disease of his own, but he persisted in refusing to admit defeat, so that he even lost his life. "

Wen Yuanliang thought of Feng Hongyu at the same time, it seemed that he was lucky.

The atmosphere was a bit dull, and Lao Zhu was about to speak a few words of persuasion, when Wen Yuanliang asked, "Old Zhu, you are well informed, but do you know what happened in Chunwei this time?"

Lao Zhu's expression changed slightly, he ran out to have a look outside, and bolted the courtyard door, and then he came back and sat down at ease, and said in a low voice: "I really know about this, didn't there be a move before the exam started?" The son was framed, and everyone got all the stolen goods, and the trickster Juren was taken down on the spot.

After all, the other party is Juren, not some ordinary common people with no names and no names. There are always people who know him. My people have inquired about him. That Juren has nothing to do with the person who was framed. Juren started to complain about injustice, but he didn't hold on to the move later, saying that he just wanted to eliminate dissidents. Everyone was his target, but the person standing in front of him was more unlucky and became the first one.

I don’t know whether this is true or not, but I heard that the person has not been sentenced, I’m afraid the people above don’t believe it, and they are still extorting confessions by torture. Later, poisonous insects were found in the Gongyuan, and a soldier was captured. Others don’t know the inside story. But I know that the examinee who found the poisonous insect is the one who was framed.

Zheng Duwei and the chief examiner both understand this matter, the emperor's side is also clear, the more this is the case, the more angry the emperor is, an examinee is nothing, but the other party dares to stretch his hand into Chunwei, and even into the Shenjiying, it is right The provocation of the imperial power, what is the Shenjiying? That is in charge of the security of the entire capital, if the Shenji camp enters the secret work, the emperor will have trouble sleeping and eating. "

"Even so, blood won't flow like a river!" Wen Yuanhong grumbled.

Old Zhu looked at him with deep eyes, "My lord, you are still young and have never seen the bloody darkness of officialdom and the cruelty of imperial power. Do you know who is in charge of this prisoner?"

"Ying Tian Mansion? The Ministry of Punishment? Could it be the Shenji Camp?" Wen Yuanhong guessed everything he knew.

Lao Zhu shook his head pretending to be deep, "It's not, it's a dark camp."

"Dark camp?" Everyone said in unison.

Lao Zhu nodded, his expression became a bit more solemn, "The dark camp does not belong to any force in the imperial court. It only works for the emperor and belongs to the emperor's dark force. If the emperor is not angry, why would he let the god of the punishment department of Yingtian mansion go?" Those people from the Imperial Forest Army of the Jiying Battalion don't use it, just take them to the dark camp?"
