Twin Brocade

Chapter 672 Token
Blocking many people's mouths, it's just a statement on the surface.The most important thing is to make Emperor Qing Long feel that the Hong family has been punished and paid the price.

The Hong family disappeared without a trace, and the emperor took care of everything, so he would no longer be distracted by such matters.As long as the emperor doesn't worry about it, the rest of the matter will be easy to handle.

After being awakened by Quan Moxian, Mrs. Hong thought about it carefully, her complexion became gentle, and she nodded.

Quan Moxian said: "Exile for thousands of miles, there is also some particularity."

The penalty of exile is also divided into three thousand miles and one thousand miles, and the most bitter and barren place is the furthest three thousand miles.For Hong Ziliang's crime, exile for a thousand miles is a very severe punishment.And in these places, there are good and bad differences.

"Old lady, Gu Shangshu has the final say on the final destination of exile."

Emperor Qinglong only looked at the sentencing, and the decision on the subsequent specific operations was in Gu Shangshu's hands.With the contacts accumulated by the Hong family over the years as officials, it must not be difficult to ask someone to intercede with Gu Shangshu, and then offer enough gold and silver to change to a relatively easy place.

After thinking about this point, Mrs. Hong solemnly thanked: "It's the old man who misunderstood Mr. Quan, so I hope you don't blame him."

"Don't dare to be, I'm just doing my best." Quan Moxian said: "The old lady is far-sighted, and she is a respectable elder in Quan's heart."

If the Hong family really colluded with King Ruyang, what Mrs. Hong did would be to save the Hong family from fire and water.No number of men can match the bravery of a strong man breaking his wrist.

Quan Moxian's respect comes from the heart.

Sensing the sincerity in his words, Mrs. Hong was deeply moved.What she did, even her own children and grandchildren could not understand.

No one in the Hong family, including her son and daughter-in-law, wanted to leave the capital and leave such a good life.Especially the son who wants to have the merits of the dragon, I'm afraid he already hates himself in his heart!
Unexpectedly, the recognition she received came from this young official.But he, who could almost be called a stranger, could understand her heart in a short conversation.

"Master Quan, I can't repay you for your kindness." She pushed the bank note on the table to Quan Moxian, and said, "My lord, please accept it."

Before coming here, she had inquired about Quan Moxian.Knowing that he is a child from a humble family with no roots, and knowing that he was squeezed out in the Ministry of Punishment.

But the Hong family can't protect themselves at present, and the only thing they can give in return is money.

Quan Moxian shook his head, pushed the banknote back to the middle of the table, and said: "Old Madam, I just feel unbearable, not for repayment."

He was a member of the caravan in the Hefeng Escort, and he used Princess Baochang to open up a source of income in the north, so he was not short of money.

Quan Moxian is not a extravagant person, and he doesn't value the material things in life.Otherwise, he would not let the house rewarded by the emperor be empty and live in the old house.

In addition to daily expenses, money is mainly used to support his own team.

Seeing that he didn't accept it, Mrs. Hong pondered for a moment and said: "Since that's the case, if your lord doesn't dislike it, the Hong family owes you a favor. If there is someone from the Hong family who can help you in the future, Mr. Quan just writes."

As she spoke, she took off a delicate white jade bracelet from her hand, and knocked it hard on the table, only to hear a "pop", and the white jade bracelet broke into two halves of different sizes.

Mrs. Hong pushed half of it to the middle of the table, and said: "This is a token. From now on, even if I am dead, as long as someone from the Quan family holds this half of the jade bracelet, I can ask the Hong family to do something."

That is to say, this token is a promise made by the Hong family to the Quan family.If Quan Moxian can't use it, his descendants can use this token to ask the Hong family to return the favor.

She acted resolutely, this white jade bracelet was very valuable, she would break it as soon as she said it.

Quan Moxian had no intention of asking for anything in return, but for Mrs. Hong's sake, if he didn't accept it, it would be too hypocritical.

"I am ashamed to accept it." He put away the half of the white jade bracelet, cupped his fists and said, "Please rest assured, the Quan family will not make excessive demands."

After resigning from Mrs. Hong, Quan Moxian strolled on the streets of Luoyang at night.

In the shops on both sides of the road, there is a warm light, illuminating the steps of people returning home.In teahouses and restaurants, friends of three or five get together and talk loudly.

Farther away, the sound of silk and bamboo came, adding joy to the night.

In this world, there is always an amazing self-healing ability.

That nightmarish epidemic has become a thing of the past. People bid farewell to death, hunger, and grief, and started a new life.Even if life is humble or unsatisfactory, you have to work hard to live, and you can still have a little warmth.

This kind of warmth is exactly what I want to protect.

Quan Moxian told himself this way, and his steps became more and more firm.In Rumo's black eyes, there are thousands of lights flickering in his eyes.

In the darkness of night, Mrs. Hong returned to the mansion with a heavy heart.

Hong Ziliang's case turned out to be far worse than she expected.Fortunately, she met Quan Moxian today, so she had a proper solution.

She ordered to go down and send someone to visit Hong Ziliang as soon as it was daylight, so that he could confess his guilt frankly.Only after passing this level of Emperor Qinglong, can she continue to try to make a fuss in the exiled land.

Jiang Langzhong, on the other hand, secretly hoped that there would be no breakthrough in Quan Moxian's trial.

This is not only about merit, but also about face.He had the case in his hand for several days, but there was no progress.Quan Moxian has just taken over, if he makes meritorious service in one fell swoop, where will his old face be put?
But the fact is that he will be disappointed.

Just after noon the next day, news came from the prison of the Ministry of Criminal Justice that Hong Ziliang confessed to his private exchange of grain for the warehouse.

While Jiang Langzhong was secretly cursing Quan Moxian's good luck, he racked his brains to figure out what Quan Moxian had done to make Hong Ziliang, a man who survived even torture, confess frankly.

But after he made some inquiries, Quan Moxian asked someone to wrap Hong Ziliang's wound, and then treated him to a meal of wine and food.

Is it that simple?
Jiang Langzhong couldn't believe it, and always felt that there was something strange about it.

Hong Ziliang's testimony was sent to Quan Moxian's desk, and he put it together with the warehouse account book as physical evidence and the statements of other witnesses, organized it into a file, and wrote the case closing statement.

At the end of the book, he made a sentencing suggestion of exile for thousands of miles.

Gu Shangshu took the notebook and couldn't help but look at Quan Moxian more.No matter how much he didn't like Quan Moxian, his ability and efficiency surprised him once again.

But in any case, it is always a good thing to close the case.

This case had already attracted Emperor Qinglong's attention, and he didn't dare to mess with it.He handed over Quan Moxian's paperwork and attached these evidences.

The results from the palace came out very quickly.Before the next yamen, Emperor Qinglong's approval arrived at the yamen of the Ministry of Punishment.
