The letter sent to Jiao Mansion cannot be lost for no reason, especially the letter was given to Jiao Prefect. Even if the servants in the mansion eat Xiong Xin and Baozi's courage, they would not dare to privately destroy the letter sent by Zhan Feiyu.
So Mrs. Jiao sent someone to check again, and the letter was found in less than a quarter of an hour.
"Master, it's all a minor negligence. The trade wind blows under the desk." The servant who knelt on the ground with a plop, kowtowed and apologized for cleaning the study in the front yard.
Mrs. Jiao did not speak, but just held the teacup and pretended to drink tea. The two maids, two servants, and four guards in the study were all masters. Mrs. Jiao never thought of installing her own people in the study.
But now the letter went wrong in the study, which means that some of the eight servants in the study must have been bribed. Mrs. Jiao glanced at Aunt Huang and Jiao Lianyu calmly, her hands stretched long enough.
The face of the prefect Jiao was also particularly ugly. Not to mention Mrs. Jiao in the study, even the second son he valued the most could not come in and out at will.
"Since ancient times, the east wind is the most satisfying." Jiao Lianping sneered without hesitation. As soon as the wind blew, the key letter fell under the desk, and he was in vain for a whip.
It is logical that the letter sent to Prefect Jiao is not in the mansion now, so you usually have to report to Mrs. Jiao and she will decide to deal with it.
Prefect Jiao is busy in the yamen now, and Mrs. Jiao must have someone send the letter to the government office. In this way, once Prefect Jiao sees Zhan Feiyu's letter, Zhan Feiyu will not pursue the matter of the First Pinlou, and Prefect Jiao will at most rebuke him.
Jiao Lianping, even if he punishes, he will not be too harsh.
Prefect Jiao opened the letter without saying a word, and was startled by the handwriting. Although it was a common style of the imperial examination, the style of the strokes was already visible between the horizontal strokes.
I thought of Mr. Qiu once said that Mr. Qiu Zongxi was half-teacher of Zhan Feiyu, and Mr. Qiu was best at calligraphy. The word Zhan Feiyu must have received guidance from Mr. Qiu.
Zhan Feiyu's letter was written simply and clearly. The matter at Yipinlou was just a coincidence. Master Jiao did not have any offense.
"After all, I am a ruthless son and I am not careful in making friends!" Prefect Jiao put down his letter and habitually scolded Jiao Lianping.
A group of playboys eat, drink, have fun, and do whatever they want. Otherwise, how could they do something that they know there are guests in the private room but still robbed them?
This time he met Zhan Feiyu and kicked him to the iron plate. If he was a commoner or had a poor family background, Prefect Jiao could imagine that the other party could only swallow his anger. After all, they were used to bullying others with their power.
Jiao Lianping was a little angry, but he didn't refute it after all.
Although Chen An, who was rude, was kicked out by He Sheng, he, a merchant, dared to be so arrogant and domineering, but he still relied on Jiao Lianping's power. Who made him the cousin of Chen?
Chen An stood aside and looked anxiously at Mrs. Jiao and Jiao Lianping. This was a great opportunity. As long as you interrogate the eight servants in the study, you will definitely know that some of them were bribed by Aunt Huang and Jiao Lianyu.
First of all, my father will definitely be disappointed with Jiao Lianping, which is an opportunity for my husband.
But no matter how anxious Mrs. Chen was, Mrs. Jiao just drank tea slowly. Jiao Lianping leaned against the chair with a pale face, his eyes were dazed, but he didn't know where he had been wandering.
Seeing that the matter was about to be over after the greetings between Jiao Prefect and Zhan Feiyu, Chen's hands hanging in his sleeves tightened, and he couldn't help but speak: "Father, I'm guilty for fairness and no reason."
, almost disfigured from his face."
Speaking of this, Chen's voice choked, lowered his head and wiped the tears from the corners of his eyes with a veil. When he looked up at the overly sharp gaze of the prefect Jiao, Chen's mind skipped a moment, but he still tugged at the words.
"After all, it was the negligence of the servant, which caused the husband to be injured. The father and daughter-in-law just wanted to seek justice for the husband. Is this letter an accident? The wind blows to the ground, or is it intentional to do it, and you always have to find out the truth." Chen Shiyue said
The more you are, the more straight the sound becomes, the louder it sounds a little louder.
"Today is just a letter from Miss Zhan. It would be fine if my husband suffered a crime, but if the important letter in the future involves the official affairs of the court, how can these servants be so neglected? My father should still interrogate it carefully. Maybe this
Some of them were spies who were placed in the mansion.”
Zhan Feiyu looked at Chen, who was standing in the eyes of the New Year, and the wife of Grand Master Jiao looked not very smart.
Mrs. Jiao's expression remained unchanged, but she put the teacup in her hand back on the table with a click. Chen's idiot!
There was something wrong with the study, which was obvious, but the family scandal should not be made public. However, Chen said it out with cleverness and took down the face of the master and the prefect in front of an outsider Zhan Feiyu.
Jiao Lianping looked back at Chen, who was so squeamish, with an extremely calm expression. This is his good wife that his father has chosen for him!
Although I had planned to do it at the beginning, if my father was willing to protect him, this matter could have been covered up. At worst, I could get married in a few years. Most men would start a career and then start a family.
But my father forced himself to marry Chen. Her vision and situation would be fine if she was a small official. If she wanted to be promoted in the future, such a wife would only be a burden to her, not to mention Chen.
That whole family is dragging their backs.
No matter how angry the prefect Jiao was, he could not scold his daughter-in-law. He could only deal with this matter with a calm face. "Come here, take Li Li down for interrogation. From the time the letter was sent to the mansion, Li Li Ke had left the study room, where did he go?
Whoever dares to cover up and punish people when they meet?”
After asking Butler Niu to drag Li Li down, Prefect Jiao felt that he had lost all his shame. "Miss Zhan laughed at the lack of strict management of the family."
