After eating a simple but hearty breakfast, Jiang Tian walked up to the third floor of the pavilion. Then he jumped out with his hand on the railing, turned over and stood on the ridgeline of the tiled roof, performed a set of military gymnastics and original Tai Chi, stretched his muscles and started to sweat slightly, and then returned to the bottom again.
But I saw it on the terrace downstairs. The great figure Ming Fei, who had been rewashed, dressed and fed, was taken out by A Yun and placed on a soft bed. He was basking in the sun while listening to what A Yun was talking about; Jiang Tian couldn't help but smile. Then he concentrated on the desk.
Yesterday, when Guo Chongtao came to say goodbye, he also brought a large amount of documents and documents at once. It is mainly divided into several categories:
The first category was commissioned by Jiang Tian to collect relevant news released by the General Administration Department at that time, as well as newspaper clippings copied from dozens of governors' offices across the country. Although it is an old story that has been publicly released for many years, if there is not enough energy within the system, it is still impossible to collect and organize it so completely.
One type is the follow-up case report on a series of incidents that occurred in the past few days; it includes the corresponding investigation and arrest process, as well as some staged results and official opinions. It is mainly concentrated between Jingzhao Mansion, Jinwu Street Envoy and Su Cha Yuan.
There is another type, which Jiang Tian once mentioned, which are copies of the patterns of some neighborhoods in Chang'an after years of reconstruction and repair; there are also attached ditch drainage signs. They are all in neat small script that resembles printing, and are copies of the text written in charcoal.
Therefore, after Jiang Tian had almost finished reading it, he decided to burn it to prevent the truth from being revealed. From this point of view, Guo Chongtao's performance is quite interesting. Although he was temporarily released from patrol, he still worked hard to fulfill his previous commitments within his scope of authority.
Of course, the first category is actually just a smoke screen used by Jiang Tian to deceive others and confuse the public, thinking that he is hiding his true purpose; by the way, he can compare it with the information obtained from Ke Ke Ya; it is just like casting a wide net to try his luck and see if he can Is there any clue that triggers the progress of the task?
The second category is to facilitate him to grasp the development of the current situation and the investigation progress of many related cases. According to what Guo Chongtao left behind, even if he left temporarily, because Jiang Tian was already linked to the Procuratorate, he could still legitimately receive a brief follow-up briefing.
Therefore, with these things, Jiang Tian can also draw a rough outline of the causes and consequences. For example, on the night of Guiyuan, Black Bat ran out from the Yunying Building where the women were gathering. After being identified, he seemed to be involved in the long-standing scandal of many people in Jingzhao Mansion.
For another example, Luo Xian, a businessman whose family was wiped out in Wuyun Tower, later used the clues found by Jiang Tian to capture several suspects and tortured them, which revealed more inside information. As a result, Luo's properties in Beijing were raided, several managers were arrested and many contraband items were confiscated.
In addition, a bloody conflict broke out in Feiming Tower, and one of the vassal representatives who was on the run was found dead in an abandoned house in the south of the city. It seemed that he was abandoned by his accomplices because he was too injured. Therefore, the residence and property of the feudal family involved in the case in Beijing have been sealed by the government, and the feudal lord has been ordered to come to answer inquiries.
On the other hand, Ning Ci, the prisoner who was publicly assassinated in Jingning Tower and also brought disaster to Chi Yu, petitioned the imperial court to re-determine and check his household registration in Beijing, which caused a lot of public opinion in the court during this period. However, there are too many serious relationships involved, and there will be no results in a short time.
Finally, the identity of the Xibei Bao Si was actually related to the long-running pursuit of the remnants of Sanse Fang. In other words, the identity of the palace concubine Bao Siniang was originally real, but was secretly replaced by her twin brother who had a similar appearance and had been dressing up in women's clothing for many years and had exchanged identities.
It is precisely because this important senior executive of Sansefang has been hiding in the palace area of the palace people with key evidence and clues; and later transferred to the Jinlan Society where "Ajie" is located, so he has never been able to be found. Trace the recovery and discovery of forces from all sides.
Therefore, based on his confession, more than a dozen officials from Jingzhao Prefecture and one soldier who joined the army were quickly and secretly arrested, as well as several bad commanders and Wuhou Zhang from Wannian County. Then, based on the evidence obtained from this person, they gradually zeroed in on another group of people in the ghost market.
Because it is rumored that they, who carried most of the account books, tried to use the power of the underground ghost market to wait for an opportunity to escape Chang'an through secret channels. Therefore, the follow-up action plan was later called "snatching the grass and alerting the snake"; however, it was obvious that both parties still underestimated the energy of the ghost market that had been dormant for many years.
What aroused the snakes was not only the snakes, insects, rats, and ants, but also the bloodthirsty wolves dormant in the darkness, as well as the more hidden feeders behind the wolves. Therefore, from the very beginning, the news was leaked internally, and it was on the verge of failure; they even sent people to silence them first.
Then it became obvious what happened; under the influence of all parties due to the incident, the ghost market directly turned into a place of chaos; in this case, the follow-up arrivals were blocked in the various corridors. As for backup, except for the ruins, it is difficult to obtain anything useful.
If Jiang Tian did not follow the mission instructions and intervene in time. After all, if there was not sufficient and strong evidence to point to it, no one would have thought that the leader of Yufan, who had multiple identities such as internal minister, vassal/spyker, and imperial merchant, would have something to do with the owner of the ghost market who had been active underground for many years. major relationship.
And the Yulangjun who was ordered to lead the team to be responsible for the annihilation and closure was not an ordinary figure; besides being the most famous public figure in the women's street, he was actually the illegitimate son of the lord of the Xiao family. One of the most capable confidants before and after running.
Not to mention his wife and all his children, they are all inextricably linked to the cult's obscene priests; they even sacrificed their own flesh and blood to worship the so-called Wutong Divine Sect. That's right, the Great Sage Huan Xitian in the underground palace is one of the incarnations of the so-called Five Powers God.
And from this former ghost market owner/lord of the Xiao family who is currently on the run, one of the inner canons of Dali Temple and a scholar of the East Pavilion (Hanlin Academy, Hongwen Hall, and Jixian Academy) were successively implicated. ; A director of Jiaofangsi, a chief registrar of Taichang Temple...
In addition, this design was also used to fish out a traitor hidden in the palace of Zhonglang of Jinwu Lingwei; Kong Muguan of the inner court, who was a descendant of Li Xiancheng, the Zhonglang of Lingwei, was also a Xiaobie of the Xiao family of Yufan. .
Therefore, in the coming days, many more officials, subordinates, tribesmen and merchants who have close contacts or have close relationships will also be held accountable and liquidated to varying degrees.
By the way, there is another important member of the Xiao family who is on the run or missing. He was a bold and bold figure who was once famous and flamboyant in Beijing. She is also a member of many Jinlan associations, named Xiao Yuqing, the daughter of the Xiao family; it is said that she is also the eldest sister of the handicraftsman downstairs.
Therefore, both Xiantai and Jinwuwei ignored her existence in official articles; it is possible that they did not intend to use this as bait to lure out the remaining members of the Xiao family.
It seems that things are almost over now. In other words, as the censor of the Procuratorate, Guo Chongtao, the level and authority he currently controls can only go so far.
However, since he transferred all the information he had before leaving office to Jiang Tian, he also pointed out the direction where he could seek help. In fact, it means that he is not so willing to let the matter go, and hopes to use the power here to continue to pursue the hidden intention.
Next, let’s take stock of what we gained from this trip to the ghost market. Although he did not touch the account books, letterheads, documents, gold and silverware, antiques, calligraphy and paintings with obvious styles and marks, he still gained a lot after searching around the Fan Building.
Jiang Tian then stretched out his hand and grasped it out of thin air, and a camphor wood book box two and a half feet wide flew over. After flipping over and playing with the debris inside out of thin air, Jiang Tian thought again, and the book box was filled with shiny things.
Then, under the guidance and control of Jiang Tian's mind, the things in the box were piled up, and they flew to the table one after another in different categories; they were stacked on their own and formed into several small piles.
Then, under the guidance and control of Jiang Tian's mind, the things in the box were piled up, and they flew to the table one after another in different categories; they were stacked on their own and formed into several small piles.
Among them, the smallest pile of golden treasures are gold treasures (money) of two denominations: Dang ten and Dang five, respectively; there are probably hundreds of them. Secondly, there are three types of silver treasures (money): large, medium and small, which occupy the largest pile on the table.
Then there is a pile of jumbled together, with various denominations of different sizes but can be paid on sight, unnamed money slips, redemption orders, and bonds; finally, there are a few handfuls of small jewels and jade, and polished but not inlaid. Various colored gemstones.
After preliminary estimation of the value of these bills, exchange notes, and bonds, they probably amounted to tens of thousands of yuan; in this capital, it was considered a considerable sum of money. You know, the price of rice (about ten kilograms) in the capital is only twenty-five yuan, and the price of grain and stone is only eight yuan.
And you can buy a table of eight colors with all kinds of meat and vegetables for only 100 yuan; and the private prostitutes who opened on the edge of Pingkangnanli can only support them for half a month; and buy a prostitute in the south of the city. , compared with the courtyard of the same size as Qingqi Garden, only three or four thousand coins are enough.
Of course, the existence of a scenic place like Qingqi Garden, located on the side of Qujiang River, is not something that anyone with money can buy; it also requires corresponding status and even connections.
It can be said that the current Jiang Tian has basically met the basic requirements of "three rings of the imperial capital, a car and a house, financial freedom, and a bed full of handicrafts" for future generations. However, if you want to turn these money tickets into free operating capital, you still need to spend some money.
He thought for a while and sorted these things again; he put away the gold treasures, money tickets, and jewelry; he put them in a cylinder stacked with paintings and calligraphy. Only the largest pile of silver treasures remained on the case; he planned to give part to Lao Gu and part to Shun Qing as extra household expenses both inside and outside.
Meanwhile, on the lower terrace.
"You know, this slave is actually quite envious of the young lady."
Blind Ayun, who was accompanying the motionless "Ming Fei", gave her just the right amount of push and hold while minding his own business and said:
"Even if the misfortune turns out to be like this, I can still get the protection of my husband and have the opportunity to continue to serve and repay my husband."
