Chapter 18 The governor of Chang'an, anxious to the geese!
The next day, early morning! Some of the people in Chang'an City are still asleep, tossed about, sitting in some unrealistic erotic dreams.
The third class of yamen servants in Chang'an Mansion had already escorted their not-so-good-looking Master Fu Yin into the carriage.
Accompanying him is the eldest, Jiazi-year-old Fuzuo of the Chang'an government office.
A murder occurred on the bank of Yanming Lake. For Chang'an Mansion, there were many people in Chang'an City.
There are countless merchants coming and going, and at night, it is even more mixed.
So on weekdays, it is not uncommon for so many people to die.
Anyway, as long as the people don't come to complain, then they will naturally not sit idle and cause so much trouble for themselves.
If the people don't sue, the officials don't raise it!
But the person who came to report to the official was not an ordinary person, but the maid of the fourth princess who had just returned to the capital Chang'an yesterday and was favored by His Majesty.
Noble concierges and maidservants of nobles are all existences that cannot be messed with in Chang'an.
Shangguan Yangyu, who was the Lingyin of Chang'an, naturally did not dare to lose Yi Qingxin, but Shangguan Yangyu, who came from a poor background but became the Lingyin of the capital, always stood on the side of the winner.
Originally, Shangguan Yangyu was on the side of the current queen, but the fourth princess, who had high prestige among the people, came back.
What's more, His Majesty is in the prime of his life in spring and autumn, and naturally he does not know when the throne of the Tang Kingdom will belong.
But from the time when the fourth princess and the maid came to report to the official, it was already doomed, and Shangguan Yangyu had already fallen into a vortex for the throne.
In the carriage, Shangguan Yangyu's triangular eyes were full of light, but he couldn't figure out how to break the situation.
The savior of His Highness the Fourth Princess was assassinated within twelve hours of arriving in Chang'an.
It would be fine if the princess' savior died, but at most, there would be another unsolved case in the Chang'an government office, and at most he would be guilty of negligence.
He can still dance on many eggs as usual, and he will fall wherever the wind blows.
But the key point is that the fourth princess's savior is still alive and well, but the assassin is dead.
This is really going to cost me my life. Isn’t it clear who did it?
It was nothing more than self-directed and acted, or it was done privately by loyal ministers from the Queen's circle.
Shangguan Yangyu's not-so-good-looking face was full of deep helplessness, "Tie Xin, if you give me a stick now, I won't have to go to such trouble if I faint."
Tie Xin, who was driving the carriage and left the third class of government servants far behind, frowned and said: "Master, you probably won't be able to use this trick now. Normally, you are at most a noble's subordinate."
"This time, she is the trusted maid of the fourth princess. Master, you should be ready to settle the case!"
The laws of the Tang Dynasty have always been gentle towards officials, and their prefect had avoided many troubles by using this method before.
But I guess I can't escape this time. I often walk by the river and my shoes will get wet after all.
Shangguan Yangyu sighed and said: "Hey, it's really troublesome. It's troublesome every day. It's better to be released as a county guard."
He doesn't pick a place, Qinghe County is a good place, and it's lucrative.
Tie Xin said in astonishment: "Master, you need money to be released as a county guard!"
"You don't take any side, and you don't have the money to smooth the relationship with the officials and heavenly officials. How can you be released as a county guard?"
The county magistrate who broke the house, the Ling Yin who ransacked the house, and the county shepherd who guarded the king's land.
Without money and without taking sides, their lord will probably have to work his way up to the position of Chang'an Ling Yin.
Mentioning this, Shangguan Yangyu's face drooped directly, the official's asking price was too high.
As for standing in line, it is impossible to stand in line, it is very difficult to stand in line, and walk out of the court in one piece.
"drive!"
Tie Xin waved the whip again, and the horse was in pain, swung its hooves and ran towards Yanming Lake.
Fortunately, it was early in the morning and there were not many people on the road. The censor patrolling the city was still drinking tea. I was afraid it was time to sue them again.
It is unbecoming of the imperial court to drive a horse-drawn carriage through the city in a swaggering manner, and at least he will be fined three months' salary.
The bumps along the way almost caused the old man in the old carriage behind him to sway and fall apart.
But the old man is old and smart. He has been an office worker for more than 40 years in the Chang'an government office, and he knows that this time he has encountered a big problem.
In more than 40 years, he has never seen any kind of bizarre death. Anyway, most of them are suicides.
Suicide is a good way to die. There is no criminal, no arrest documents or arrests.
The adults are also happy with this, and the three years of Jingcha can be passed without incident.
In the eyes of the old man, everything is imaginary, and the only way to make peace is to make a fortune.
If it weren't for Shangguan Yangyu's 50 taels of silver, he wouldn't be willing to go at all.
Can people like them get involved in the affairs of the Tian family? "Xiao Song!"
"This time, you have to be careful and don't say anything out loud."
Inside the dilapidated carriage, the young man said helplessly, "Second uncle, why do you insist on me inheriting the position of the assistant?"
The old man, Xiao Song's second uncle, said with a smile: "Because you have a bad mind!"
"A good person doesn't live long, and he won't be able to eat this dinner. A good person is a coward. If one is not careful, there will be no one to eat."
It is passed down from father to son. If his children and grandchildren were not so incompetent, this boy would not have had his turn.
But the good news is that no outsiders are left with the good stuff, and there are people in the yamen, so it’s easy to do things! When you go to visit in the cell, don't you have to give the old man money?
If you want to eat meat and drink there, you don’t have to spend a lot of money, just wait for the water!
The second uncle has lived for so many years, but he has never discovered any difference between the Tang Dynasty and other countries in the world.
If there is a difference, it probably means that there is a Xiling Temple on top of all the countries in the world! The farther you go in the direction of Yanming Lake, the fewer people and business travelers on the street.
The entire Yanming Mountain, plus Yanming Lake, had long been the fourth princess's villa, and now it was given to the fourth princess's savior.
The third class of government officials almost vomited out the morning meal they had eaten.
It's true that the iron catcher got on the carriage himself, but pitifully his brothers had to run with him.
Soon after, Yanming Lake arrived.
Tie Xin stopped the carriage and invited Shangguan Yangyu, who was already a little dizzy in the carriage, to get out.
Shangguan Yangyu looked at the majestic and elegant courtyard and said, "It's quite lively."
When he got off the carriage, Shangguan Yangyu would have fallen to the ground if he hadn't been supported by Tie Xin.
The guards in armor looked expressionlessly at this man, the ugliest Chang'an magistrate in the history of the Tang Dynasty.
Qing He, who had been waiting for a long time, said: "Master Shangguan, Her Royal Highness the Princess and Mr. Chen have been waiting for Mr. Shangguan's fight for a long time."
Shangguan Yangyu waved his hands again and again: "I can't do it, I can't do it!"
"Subordinate, how can you make Her Royal Highness wait for a long time?"
If he was accused of a crime of disrespect by someone with a heart, how much should he be fined for each month's salary? (End of this chapter)
