Chapter 118 Eggs Early in the Morning

Jia Silian saluted, thanked her, and then went to the front yard, saw the guard at the gate and inquired again,

"Brother guard, please, I may have asked Mou Hu to come out and meet..."

The guard nodded, went in and called Mou Hu to come out, and when Mou Hu saw her, he asked,
"Miss Silian, why are you in the yamen today?"

Jia Silian replied,
"I brought breakfast to my father, thinking that there was a case yesterday, maybe Xiaolin will be in the yamen today..."

Mou Hu nodded,

"The head of the Ministry of Industry died, and our young master is following the master to investigate the case..."

Jia Silian took out the four eggs from her bosom,

"I boiled eggs early in the morning, if you don't eat them, you can fill your stomach..."

Mou Hu smiled and took it,
"It just so happens that during this New Year's Eve, all the shops are closed, and we are worried that we can't find a place to eat..."

Seeing that he took it, Jia Silian nodded with a smile,

"If you really can't find anything to eat, then go to our place. I'll make soup and cook noodles for you..."

Mou Hu thought for a while and shook his head,
"This case is a bit tricky. Your Majesty has already intervened. I'm afraid the young master won't be able to come out for a while..."

Even so, Jia Silian couldn't force it, and immediately gave Mou Hufu a blessing, turned around and left, Mou Hu turned back inside with the egg, and in the main hall, there was a huge brazier with blazing charcoal fire inside, Mou Bin and all his subordinates Sitting around discussing the case, Mou Biao was sitting by the door, flipping through files,
"Master..."

Mou Hu went over and quietly touched the hot egg on Mu Biao's elbow. Mou Biao looked down and was amused, took the egg and whispered,
"Boy, you have learned to be smart. You know how to be sympathetic to the master. Where did you get the eggs?"

Jia Jincheng and the others were called away on the night of New Year's Eve, but Mou Biao only had time to eat lunch when someone came to report that the Yamen of Shuntian Prefecture had transferred the case to Beizhen Fusi, and that dinner was still from the mansion. It's delivered, and the breakfast this morning hasn't arrived yet!

Mou Hu laughed and said,

"Miss Silian came here just now..."

Mou Biao frowned, and put the four eggs into his bosom. While Mu Bin was talking, his son was hanging from the corner of his eyes. Seeing his son hiding something in his bosom with a smile on his face, it was Keeping his composure, he ordered his subordinates to say,

"Your Majesty hastily summoned me into the palace last night about this case. Your Majesty has an order saying that you must see Jin Yiwei's paperwork within ten days. All of you cheer me up and figure it out within ten days. I understand, if it’s not the case...you don’t even want to eat the Lantern Festival this year!”

"Yes!"

Everyone stood up and saluted, and filed out, leaving only Mou Biao who was reading the file. Mou Bin asked,
"Baby, what do you see?"

Mou Biao hummed and said,

"Father, this case is really strange..."

In the afternoon of the [-]th, Jin Yiwei arrived at Huang Jiuwen's home. When he arrived, he had already been carried to the yamen, and Huang Jiuwen's wife was crying to death.

This Mr. Huang rented a small house in the capital. On weekdays, his family consisted of a husband and wife, a son, a daughter, and two old servants. The wearing speed is also very ordinary, but the suicide note left by him stated that he, together with others, embezzled ink and bribed [-] taels of silver. He felt ashamed of His Majesty and the court, so he committed suicide by throwing himself into a well.

But when Jin Yiwei arrived, he checked the suicide note, and immediately turned Huang's house upside down, but found more than a hundred taels of silver, and asked Mrs. Miao, Mrs. Huang, who was wronged

"Our master is a clean official and has never been greedy for money or money. At the end of the year, my hometown wrote a letter saying that there was a snowstorm, the house was crushed and collapsed, the two elders were injured, and there was no money to repair the house. So the master sent a piece of money from his collection. The ancient painting was sold, and the silver was only one hundred taels, and we were planning to send it back to our hometown after the year. If we had silver, why would we sell the painting? How could our parents in our hometown even have blue brick houses? Can't afford it?"

Miao cried miserably,

"Our old man is dead, you can't tarnish his name!"

Mou Biao frowned and said,

"I'm afraid I still have to send someone to Mr. Huang's hometown to have a look..."

Mu Bin nodded,

"Shicai's father has already sent someone over..."

asked again,
"This case seems to be a suicide case full of loopholes deliberately made by someone, so as to attract us to investigate..."

Although the chief officer Huang said that his official position was not high, he died on New Year's Eve, and mentioned "along with others" in his suicide note,
"My son thinks that someone wants to use the death of Mr. Huang to lead us to track down those... others!"

Mu Bin nodded,

"Who is this other person, and who is using this matter to implicate others, that is the most important thing in this case!"

It was because of the suicide note that the Shuntian Mansion did not dare to accept it and handed it over to Jin Yiwei.

He has been on the job for many years, and he knows in his heart that ninety percent of all cases of embezzling ink and huge amounts of bribes are nested cases, leaving marks on the passing of ships, and the sound of geese passing by. It is definitely not just one or two officials who can get things done, if more than one is involved, this case may become the first big case of the New Year!

Mu Bin is not afraid of investigating the case, and he doesn't care how many people are involved. The most important thing is where and who is found in the case, so that the Holy Majesty will be satisfied!

Mou Biao thought for a while and said,

"Father, my son wants to visit the Yellow House..."

Mu Bin nodded,

"Let's go and have a look...but... let them bring breakfast first, after we eat, we'll go..."

Immediately ordered the subordinates to bring breakfast. During the New Year's Eve, all the handymen in the Fusi yamen in Beizhen had been sent home. There is no way to summon them, so they can only let these rough guys who are still on errands during the New Year's Day cook. Naturally, this group of people can fill their stomachs by running around, but they will only fill their stomachs.

Not long after, someone brought two bowls of noodles, and Mou Biao couldn't help but frowned looking at the messy noodles, but at this time, he couldn't find a place to eat outside, so he had to make do with it, and put his hand in his arms After touching it, he took out the four cockroaches, gritted his teeth and gave two to Mou Bin,

"Father, here you are..."

Mu Bin took a look,
"I just saw that Mou Hu gave it to you, where did that kid get it?"

"It was Silian who brought breakfast to Jia Wuzuo and four eggs to me..."

Mu Bin smiled slightly when he heard this,
"It's considerate!"

Mou Biao rolled his eyes at him,
"Don't talk nonsense!"

She's still a girl who hasn't left the cabinet yet!

He tapped the eggs on the edge of the table, carefully peeled off the egg shells, and swallowed one by one. Mou Bin, like his son, took one egg at a time. After thinking for a while, he said,

"The servants in the yamen are not here these days, why don't you call Si Lian and the others to help the kitchen!"

Mou Biao thought for a moment and felt that it was a good thing for Si Lian, so he asked,

"Dad, is it true?"

Mu Bin gave him a white look,
"I'm often the commander of Jinyiwei, a second-rank officer, and I don't have the time to talk to you!"

In previous years, there were also such urgent cases. During the festival, the handymen were released to their homes. When they could come back in the future, they called the female family members of Jinyiwei who lived nearby to come over to help with the kitchen. Just give them more money. Many people want to do this kind of work. Woolen cloth!
Mou Biao was overjoyed,

"Thank you Daddy!"

After breakfast, Mou Biao followed Mou Bin out the door, and before leaving, he ordered his subordinates to go to Jia's house to call for someone. The Jia Silian sisters were a little dazed when they heard the news, and they didn't know how to answer the message. The Jin Yiwei who reported the letter said,

"It's also happened in previous years. The female relatives of each family are very willing. If you are not willing, we will replace it with someone else!"

The family members of the Jinyiwei are not all pampered and pampered, and they call their servants. In fact, there are many female family members who help out to support the family and help the kitchen in the yamen. The money is three times more than that of the outside. It's a man, and it's really inconvenient for women to stay for a long time. These women's family members wish they could work as long-term workers in Beizhen Fusi!
"Willing! Willing! We will!"

When Xiang Shi heard that there was money to be made, he naturally agreed, and the person who reported the letter nodded and said,
"Then you go over now, the brothers' dinner will fall on you tonight!"

Xiang Shi nodded again and again,

"No delay! No delay!"

This room hurriedly called the daughters, packed up and went out, leaving the house to Jia Youchuan who was still sleeping, but Jia Youchuan was extremely dissatisfied, and shouted at the backs of several people,

"You are all gone, who will cook for me today?"

Xiang Shi turned back and said,
"You heat up the food yourself, and the meat left over is enough for you to eat for several meals!"

They have to help cook in the yamen until the fifth day, and they will eat in the yamen these days, which can save a lot of copper coins.

Although she took over the errand of the Jinyiwei Yamen, Xiang Shi still remembered that she had to go back to the door in the second day of junior high school, but this year Jia Jincheng was busy in the Yamen, and her daughters were also busy earning copper coins, so she had to drag Jiayou back to Xiang's house.

Seeing the return of her daughter and grandson to the old lady, instead of being dissatisfied, she was very happy.

"Finally, I know how to save face. Only two people come back to eat ten copper coins. It's not too much loss!"

Afraid of being cursed by his mother, Xiang took out another tael of silver.
"Mother, the Silian sisters have been helping the cook in the yamen for the past few days. This is the money they earned, and they are all filial to your elder brother!"

The people in Fusi's yamen in Beizhen didn't know the situation of Jia's family. They saw that Mrs. Xiang brought her three daughters to help cook, but they heard the words from the superior again, saying that it was the son-in-law who said that the wages would be paid first during the New Year's Day. , so that the subordinates can have a good year, so the person in charge first gave the money to Xiang Shi.

Mrs. Xiang took two taels of silver and was happy in her heart. When she returned home in the second day of junior high school, she honored her mother with a tael of silver. Seeing the silver, Xiang's face immediately improved a lot, and he smiled and pulled her in.
"Go, go in and talk!"

This room pushed the daughter and grandson to talk in the main hall. The brazier was burning in the room, which was very warm. The old man and his sons and grandchildren went to wander on the street. Only the female relatives were left at home, but they were all busy in the back kitchen.
