Half a month later, Pan Jinlian was admitted to the palace.
She learned many ways to deal with Zhao Ji from Master Li. It was extremely easy to deal with Zhao Ji, and she became more favored day by day.
Of course pregnancy is inevitable.
Before she entered the palace, Liu Tiao helped Pan Jinlian recuperate her body.
Even if Zhao Ji was weak, Pan Jinlian could still get pregnant.
Zhao Ji was overjoyed and looked forward to the child in Pan Jinlian's belly, and fell in love with Pan Jinlian even more.
Aiwujiwu, Zhao Ji also values Pan Jinlian's family very much.
Liu Shiquan got a title, but he was not used to life in the capital, so he took Brother Liu back to his hometown.
Zhao Ji then placed more rewards on Liu Heng.
Liu Heng's official position made a triple jump, directly promoted from the sixth-rank official position to the fourth-rank Dali Temple Shaoqing.
This is the position Liu Hiiragi chose himself. Helping ordinary people redress their grievances is an interesting and meritorious thing.
"Master, a male corpse was found in the west of the suburbs of Beijing."
Shu Mo came in to report.
Liu Heng got up and went out, taking the yamen and his wife with him, and went to the place where the body was found.
The male corpse was about thirty years old. Judging from the condition of the corpse, he had been dead for at least two or three days and was drowned.
Wu Zuo found threads of material from the fingernails of the male corpse, which were not the same as the threads of the clothes the deceased was wearing.
Wuzuo couldn't tell whether the man accidentally fell into the river and drowned or was killed.
This requires investigation by the Yamen.
Liu Hao looked at the man's face. Although it was a little deformed, Liu Hao still recognized this person.
This is a Jinshi who shares the same subject with him.
This person seems to have been recruited by Cai Jing and became a member of Cai Jing's lineage.
Why did he die suddenly?
Who attacked him?
Is it related to Cai Jing?
"Young Master." Shumo came to Liu Heng's side and called softly.
Liu Hao nodded: "Pretend not to notice."
Shu Mo responded, stood behind Liu Hao, and continued to be his little follower.
Wu Zuo and the government officials carried the man's body onto the horse.
Liu Hao sent them away first, while he and Shumo stayed.
Waiting until the figures of the Yamen and Zuo Zuo disappeared, Liu Heng said: "Come out."
There was no movement.
Shu Mo moved and suddenly rushed in one direction.
A man jumped up and ran quickly into the distance.
Shu Mo chased after him and started fighting with the man.
Without two moves, the man was taken down by Shu Mo.
Shu Mo escorted the person to Liu Heng.
Liu Hao looked at the young man half-kneeling in front of him and asked: "Did you kill Han Ming?"
The young man said bitterly: "I killed him, but you Caught, I admit it. Anyway, he is a good man again after eighteen years.”
Liu Hiiragi: "Why are you so angry, young man? I didn't say that I would send you to the official to behead you."
The young man laughed and said in surprise: "Aren't you an official of Dali Temple? Are you still trying to protect me, the murderer?”
Liu Heng: "I didn't want to cover up the murderer. It's just that I wanted to find out the truth of the matter and whether Han Ming should die. Did you kill him because he deserved it, or were you really guilty?"
Liu Heng Hiiragi didn't think that someone who took refuge in a traitor like Cai Jing would be a good person.
The young man looked up at Liu Zhi in shock. He did not expect that Liu Zhi was so different from other officials.
"No wonder Cai Jing wants you to die." The young man murmured.
Liu Hao raised his eyebrows and said: "How do you know Cai Jing wants me to die? Could it be that Cai Jing handed over the matter of killing me to Han Ming? What is your relationship with Han Ming? ”
The young man took a deep breath and said, "My name is Nian Yongyi..."
Nian Yongyi is Han Ming's brother-in-law.
Nian Yongyi’s family background is similar to that of Liu Heng. He is a local powerful. It's just that after the death of Nian's parents, Nian Yongyi was not good at management and only focused on making a career in the world, which caused the family business to shrink a lot.
Nian Yongyi wanders around outside all day long. He relies on his married sister to help take care of the family business, but he has saved some of it, so that Nian Yongyi will not be ruined.
Nian Yongyi therefore became very close and convinced of his sister.
Han Ming was a poor scholar. He relied entirely on Sister Han's dowry to survive from scholar to Jinshi.
If it weren’t for Sister Han’s dowry money, how could Han Ming be able to go to Beijing to take the exam?
The expenses along the way and the expenses of living in the capital are huge.
Why do many people choose to become officials directly after passing the examination instead of continuing the examination?
In addition to fearing that he would not be able to pass the Jinshi exam, he was also worried that traveling to Beijing to take the exam was very expensive.
It is really difficult for many people from poor family backgrounds to afford such a large expense.
He spent a lot of money but failed to pass the exam...
Han Ming passed the Jinshi exam and was recruited by Cai Jing.
Even if Nian Yongyi didn't like Cai Jing, a treacherous official, he would not kill Han Ming just because he took refuge in Cai Jing.
The main reason is that Han Ming is the second Chen Shimei.
In order to marry a wife with a better background, he wanted to kill his first wife and his children.
In order to give Han Ming a better status, Cai Jing wanted to marry his concubine to Han Ming.
Han Ming couldn't let Cai Jing's daughter be his concubine, so he attacked his original wife.
He sent people back to his hometown to kill his first wife and children.
On that day, Nian Yongyi took his nephew out to play wildly and did not go home at night, thus escaping the disaster.
Nian Yongyi’s sister and niece were not so lucky and were burned to death in the fire.
Nian Yongyi didn’t know that someone deliberately set fire to kill people, he just thought it was an accident.
After handling the funeral affairs of his sister and niece, he took his nephew to Beijing and sent him to his father.
Arrived in the capital, Nian Yongyi found out that Han Ming was about to marry Cai Jing’s daughter.
Only then did Nian Yongyi become suspicious of Han Ming.
I haven’t gone to Han Ming to tell him about his sister’s death, so why did he want to marry another wife?
Nian Yongyi began to doubt his sister's death.
He first settled his nephew, then sneaked into the Han Mansion, overheard the conversation between Han Ming and another of Cai Jing’s men, and learned that Han Ming arranged his sister’s death, and also knew what Cai Jing wanted to do. News about killing Liu Hieragi.
Nian Yongyi hated Han Ming deeply, so he deceived Han Ming into the suburbs. After questioning Han Ming, he killed him.
Nian Yongyi: "...I am the one who killed this person, please hold me in prison."
Liu Tiao spoke: "Shu Mo, let him go."
Shu Mo let go. hand.
Nian Yongyi stood up in surprise: "You, won't you arrest me? Aren't you the official in charge of this case?"
Liu Tiao: "You were caught in jail, then you What should I do with my nephew? After losing his mother and sister, and losing you as his uncle, he will become an orphan without anyone to take care of him. Do you want to see him become a beggar and eventually starve to death?"
Nian Yongyi shook his head fiercely.
Liu Hiiragi: "For the sake of your nephew, I will let you go. You should take your nephew back to your hometown and don't stay in the capital."
And people like Han Ming , it’s not worth Nian Yongyi’s conviction and death for him.
"Thank you, sir, thank you, sir." Nian Yongyi knelt down, kowtowed to Liu Heng three times, and then stood up.
He said: "My lord, you have to be more careful. Cai Jing wants your life, you can't let him succeed."
Liu Heng: "Don't worry, I have strong bodyguards by my side."
Nian Yongyi glanced at Shumo standing aside and nodded.
This bodyguard is really awesome.
I also have a reputation in the world, but in the hands of this little brother, I can't even get past ten moves.
With such a master here, Master Liu's safety is indeed not a problem.
He was afraid that Cai Jing would be too insidious and use other means to harm Mr. Liu.
Nian Yongyi told Liu Hao his worries and left after Liu Hao smiled and said there would be no problem.
