Be a master through ancient times

Listening to Mu Yuanxiu telling him about "one fate, two luck and three geomantic omens" in a serious manner, Chu Ci thought to himself that his luck can be regarded as top-notch.

Born in a family of intellectuals in modern times, he has never experienced the hardships of life since he was a child.After time travel, he was loved by his relatives, and later two gentlemen taught him carefully, and he won the first prize in the examination.And he was a single dog in modern times, but he got out of singles in ancient times. Isn't this all luck?

"...Did you understand?" Mu Yuanxiu talked a lot, but when he turned around, the boy seemed to be distracted.

Chu Ci immediately smiled slightly: "Boy, I understand that Uncle Mu is telling me not to act recklessly just because of my good luck. I must have the corresponding strength to be worthy of my good luck."

"Children can be taught." Mu Yuanxiu stroked his beard in satisfaction. Talking to such a person is really very worry-free.

"By the way, didn't I ask you just now if you know why I stopped you? Have you already guessed in your heart?" Mu Yuanxiu did not forget what he wanted to say just now.

Chu Ci pondered for a while, and asked tentatively: "Is it related to the Japanese case? No, the Japanese case should not be handled by Dali Temple. Then this matter...is related to the governor?"

Mu Yuanxiu nodded and gave him an approving look. Chu Ci was encouraged and continued, "The governor shielded Zhao Kuan. During the sea ban, he would rather break the rules and let them go to sea. There must be something hidden here. But He is the highest official in Southern Fujian Province, and other people cannot overstep his authority to try the case, so the court will not issue it until Marshal Zhu is impeached. This time, Mr. Mu, is he here to investigate this matter?"

"As expected of the number one scholar! Do you know that even if you are not in the capital, you often cause disturbances?" Mu Yuanxiu can often hear the name Chuci.He assisted in solving the case the year before last, published some education newspaper last year, and this year he made a plan to smash the Japanese people, and other trivial matters are also heard from time to time.

If people from later generations were to sum it up, it would probably be: Brother is not in the Jianghu, but there are legends about Brother everywhere in the Jianghu.

Chu Ci said: "I have heard a little bit. I have a brother-in-law staying in the capital, and we often exchange letters."

"Brother Yi? Which yamen do you work in?" Mu Yuanxiu was a little curious. This must be someone close to him, but in the court, he didn't seem to see any adult who was particularly close to Chu Ci.

Chu Ci almost blurted out the word "Kou Jing", but he changed his mind, if he said that Kou Jing was his brother-in-law at this time, once the relationship broke out in the future, it might cause criticism.So, the words came out after a detour: "Brother Yi's name is Kou Xun, and he is a doctor from the Ministry of Industry."

Kou Xun, a poor loafing engineering man, was pulled out to block the gun at this time.

"It's from the Ministry of Industry," Mu Yuanxiu frowned and thought for a while. A doctor can also go to court, but it seemed to him that this person had never spoken. He read it in his mind for a long time, and finally remembered, " In the past few years, the Ministry of Industry has successively produced blackboard chalk, and then improved the government-made carriages in the capital to make it less bumpy when traveling, these things seem to have the shadow of your righteous brother."

"Yes, he has loved these things since he was a child, and his wish has been fulfilled by joining the Ministry of Industry." Chu Ci smiled, and brought the topic back to the matter he talked about before, "My lord called me because I wanted to Ask me about the Governor-General?"

Mu Yuan corrected his expression and said: "Yes, I heard from your husband that you are very good at observing words and expressions. When getting along with Lin Futong in the past, you must have observed something. Let me ask you first when I come over."

It was only then that Chu Ci had an epiphany, and he said why Mu Yuanxiu stopped him directly. It turned out that it was his husband's idea!

"In the past, I didn't meet the governor much. At most, I met a few times during the year-end report. At that time, I only felt that Mr. Lin had a kind temperament and never got angry. But when I met recently, it was when Zhao Kuan was intercepted from going to sea. At that time, Lin My lord tried his best to recommend Zhao Kuan, but it seems that it is not the same as usual, and he is a little frustrated." Chu Ci said.

In fact, Mr. Lin's appearance at that time made him full of doubts. The navy had clearly stated that Zhao Kuan was suspicious, but he wanted to force everyone to let them go. It can't be justified, after all, Marshal Zhu had obviously obtained Zhao Kuan's consent for the sea ban before.

After listening to his analysis, Mu Yuanxiu asked, "He agreed to the sea ban, but later backtracked for some reason, and insisted on recommending Zhao Kuan to go to sea, right?"

"Yes, he was very excited at the time, and it seemed imperative to let Zhao Kuan go to sea." Chu Ci recalled his expression and words, and confirmed that he meant it at the time.

"The relationship between those two people must have been before the sea ban was banned and Zhao Kuan went to sea. As long as Zhao Kuan's mouth is pried open, everything will be revealed." Mu Yuanxiu said, this case is too simple, and it can be seen at a glance. come out.

"But Lord Mu, there is one most important question now, that is, Zhao Kuan is a spy of the Japanese country. How can you trust the spy's words? If he intentionally wronged the officials of a province and dragged him into the water for the purpose of undermining the stability of the Great Wei It’s not impossible.” Chu Ci said, it’s not that he’s complaining for Lin Futong, it’s mainly because the excuse he used as a rebuttal in the court will suffer.

Master Mu was reminded by him, and he also understood that this matter may indeed happen: "So we must obtain evidence to prove that Zhao Kuan did not intend to wrong him, but something happened."

"I just hope that Zhao Kuan really kept the evidence and hid it well. Otherwise, I'm afraid the success will fall short." Chu Ci sighed.

"What do you mean by that?" Mu Yuanxiu was puzzled.

"Because of Zhao Kuan's status as a spy, the government and the navy's people may have turned his house upside down. If Lin Futong really colluded with him, I'm afraid he will fish in troubled waters, and take advantage of that to find evidence and then Destroy."

"...That is to say, this matter is likely to be deadlocked. We don't have evidence, so we can't bring him to justice. When the time comes, if we go this far, if this case is really closed, the old man is ashamed of His Majesty! "

At this moment, Lord Mu understood why those people recommended him, because his image of being "upright and upright" is well known to everyone, so it is the most powerful proof for him to return his innocence to Lin Futong, and it will not affect Lin Futong's official voice.It seems that when he was still in the capital, he was already a part of the plan.

But if you know it, you know it, it's useless at all, he is a judge, he naturally knows that everything must pay attention to evidence, even if the emperor wants to kill someone, he has to find a passable excuse, otherwise it will be difficult for the people to be angry.How can an official like him arrest someone without evidence?

"It seems that this trip of the old man will be in vain." Mu Yuanxiu sighed helplessly.

"It's not necessarily true, one hundred secrets and one sparse, maybe they still have something waiting for us to investigate?" Chu Ci didn't mean to comfort him, but thought so sincerely.
