Twin Brocade

Chapter 499 Secret Return to Beijing
"Mother, it's very windy here, I'll help you go back." Quan Moxian helped Aunt Quan to the other side, and said, "Eldest sister will return home in three days, mother, think about what she will bring back when she arrives?"

"Is there anything mother likes, why don't I ask Brother Peng to bring it."

"You black man!" Mrs. Quan pretended to hit him, and said, "Where did someone go to the husband's house to ask for a return gift? Do you want this face of yours?"

With his interrupting, Mrs. Quan finally came out of that sad mood.

Lin Chenfei secretly gave him a thumbs up from behind, as expected, only he knew how to comfort Aunt Quan.If you have free time, you need to ask him a few tricks.

After all, it is they, not Quan Moxian, who get along the most in Quan's family.After Quan Lu got married, she was the only one left in the family.

After the hustle and bustle of welcoming the relatives, a natal banquet was set up at Quan's house to entertain the guests who came to congratulate her.Since living here, the Quan family has a good relationship with the neighbors.Given this opportunity, many neighbors came to give gifts and also to ask for a cup of wedding wine. The small courtyard was very lively and joyful.

The yamen of the Criminal Ministry was busy, not to mention there were people staring at him all the time, Quan Moxian didn't dare to be careless, and hurried back to the yamen after the wedding banquet at noon.

The drizzle gradually stopped in the afternoon.The wet bluestone in the alley has a soft luster.On the edge of the stone gap, a little green grass emerged.

On the bluestone, a pair of black thick-soled boots stayed for a long time.Its owner, wearing a common coir raincoat and a bamboo hat, can see from his position that it is the office of the Ministry of Punishment.

When he saw Quan Moxian entering the yamen, he turned around and gave orders to the servants who followed him to leave this place.

The sky gradually darkened, and it wasn't until the lights came on that Quan Moxian left the yamen in a hurry.He turned a street corner, and a servant dressed as a servant saluted him and said, "Master Quan, my master invites you to see me."

He stopped in his tracks, looked at this servant and asked, "Who is your master?"

"Master Quan, master said you will know this when you see it." The servant took out a seal and handed it to Quan Moxian.

Quan Moxian took it over and looked at it carefully for a moment, then asked: "Your master, what is this scripture, and what is the name of your future wife?" The seal is a personal seal that never leaves the body, but since even the official seal has a fake seal, it is necessary to fake it. Seals are nothing.

There were quite a few people targeting him in the DPRK, so he had to be on guard for the sake of prudence.

The servant replied: "My master is studying the "Book of Songs", and his future wife's surname is Fang." Although these two questions are not very private, they can be answered at once, which proves the truth.

Quan Moxian nodded, and told the servant to go home and tell Lin Chenfei that he will not be home until later today, and then said to the servant: "You lead the way."

After about two quarters of an hour, he entered a small three-entry house.At this time, the drizzle began to pour down again, soaking his shoulders.

Gong Wenjue had already taken off his coir raincoat and bamboo hat, and stood at the second gate with a smile, waiting for him.

"Lord Quan, I take the liberty to invite you to see me today. I really have to worry about it." Gong Wenjue saluted him deeply and bowed to the ground.

"Brother Wen Juexian, please get up quickly." Quan Moxian took a few steps quickly and lifted him up.He and Gong Wenjue got acquainted at the Great Compassion Temple during the Spring Festival because of the brothers and sisters of the Fang family.

There were a lot of people at that time, and we just chatted a few words. We all admired each other and had a good impression.

Right now, the case of counterfeit printing has broken out, and everyone in the household department is panicking.Gong Shangshu treated himself as a crime, and waited behind closed doors for the emperor's fate.

Right now, Emperor Qinglong hadn't freed up his hand, and the government and the opposition were still waiting for the result of the shadow guard.Once the foreign aggression is eliminated, it is time to investigate responsibility.

As Gong's eldest son, it is not difficult to understand that Gong Wenjue, who was studying abroad, was secretly sent back to Beijing.

Gong Wenjue led him personally, went to the study and sat down, ordered someone to serve tea, and said: "Master Quan, don't blame me for being shallow and deep. It's really about this matter. After thinking about it, you are the only one who can entrust it to you." .”

As an important minister in the court, the Gong family has its own social network.But in this troubled time, every move of the Gong family is watched by others, how dare they act rashly?No matter what I do, I am afraid that I will be considered guilty and want to escape guilt.

As for Quan Moxian, who has absolutely nothing to do with the Gong family, is a newcomer in the officialdom, and has excellent skills in solving crimes, which is valued by the emperor.Si Geng Gaowei, who was arrested by the Hubu Cangbu Division, is also being held in the prison of the Ministry of Punishment.

Let me ask, is there anyone more suitable than him?

Because of this, Gong Wenjue asked him to come here by chance.He is confident that his vision of seeing people can't be wrong, even if Quan Moxian refuses to agree, he will not reveal that he secretly returned to Beijing.

Thinking about it now, Gong Wenjue is very thankful that he left Beijing to study.If not, he would also be trapped in Shangshu's mansion and could only resign himself to fate.Now that he is free, he can still plan for his father outside.

Quan Moxian took a sip of tea, raised his eyebrows lightly and said, "Master Gong, aren't you afraid that I will betray you?"

Gong Wenjue smiled casually, and said, "That's because I misread it, and I don't blame Mr. Quan."

"Brother Wen Juexian is really free and easy." Quan Moxian put down his teacup and said softly, "I'm not sure about the weirdness in this case."

Gao Wei was imprisoned in the prison of the Ministry of Punishment, but the Ministry of Punishment has been very taboo about this since he was a child.No one was allowed to see him except those designated for interrogation.

In this case, Quan Moxian was isolated intentionally or unintentionally, and even the files were no more than his hands.Because Quan Moxian's ability is obvious to all, he can see the clues only through the files.

The more this is the case, the more it shows that the doorway inside is very deep.

Except for Gu Shangshu of the Ministry of Criminal Justice, Quan Moxian can't think of anyone who can order to do this.But Gu Shangshu did so obviously, this matter has little to do with him, maybe he got orders from others.

He was in the Ministry of Criminal Justice, and his nature had already made him suspicious of the counterfeit seal case, and he started to pay attention to it without any trace.

When Quan Moxian said this, Gong Wenjue knew he had found the right person.He stood up and bowed again, saying: "I hope Master Quan will teach me."

"Sit down and talk." Quan Moxian said: "I dare not talk about advice, let me ask you first, do you want to find out the truth of this case, or do you just want to exonerate your father?"

His jet-black eyes were as black as lacquer, and he stared at Gong Wenjue without blinking.

Finding out the truth and getting rid of crimes are one thing, but they can also be two completely different things.If you just want to get rid of the crime, you can start with Gao Wei, let him take full responsibility for the counterfeit seal case, and confess the guilt.

In this way, Gong Shangshu is at most guilty of being incompetent and ineffective in supervision.
