Chapter 425 A Chinese Ghost Story
If it was an ordinary person, even if he killed someone in the street, he would just be arrested and charged with crime.With a population of over one million in the capital city, such things happen every day, not every day, but they still happen from time to time.

However, if this matter also involved the current Chief Assistant, it would be completely different.

In less than an hour, the news that the grandson of the first assistant He Shanbao's family rode a horse in the street and injured a passerby spread among the middle and upper class in Beijing.If it's just like this, it's fine. After all, it's just hurting people and not killing people, so it's not a big deal.

Coincidentally, this matter happened to be bumped into by Qiu Liang, the commander of the five-city soldiers and horses who was patrolling the city. What's more, Qiu Liang actually arrested him immediately in the prison of the five-city soldiers and horses.
This is simply big news.The grandson of a dignified minister of a country was actually arrested and thrown into prison. This is definitely something that has never been heard of since the founding of the Great Chu.

In Daming Palace, even Emperor Zhengqing was taken aback when he heard this.

"This is Qiu Liang."

Emperor Zhengqing read a sentence.Qiu Liang's approach is too careless, now that He Shanbao is still the chief minister of a country, as long as he is not convicted, he is the head of all officials, representing the decency of the court, even he will not insult him lightly.

Dai Quan beside him said with a flattering smile: "Long Live Lord, Mr. Qiu is willing to be this gun for Long Live Lord."

The emperor clings to the case from three years ago step by step. As long as there is a discerning person in the court, there is no one who does not know what he wants to do.

Emperor Zhengqing also hardly concealed it.Since he decided to defeat He Shanbao head-on, he never thought of being able to hide it from others, and he didn't need to hide this matter from anyone.

Because, he used the bright and righteous way.

Today, the case has become more and more clear.Three years ago, for the cabinet, He Shanbao made a huge reputation for the Beizheng case, and more and more people have realized the tricks in it.

It took almost a year before and after.It took him nearly a year from Lin Ruhai to send back the news until now that everything was ready!

Fortunately, the results will be seen soon, no, the results have been seen a long time ago, and now, it is only a short step.

"Since he voluntarily made this knife for me, then I will grant him!" Emperor Zhengqing thought for a while, then suddenly said firmly.

Since God is signaling to him that he can do it, why should he wait any longer?
The treacherous and ever-changing situation in court and official circles did not affect Jia Qing's mood in the slightest.His life was full and happy.

Because they had to meet Yuanchun's relatives before the auspicious day of August [-]th, they did not have enough time for Jia's family to prepare.So much so that even he, who is used to being a hands-off shopkeeper, had to deal with some things himself.
Fortunately, the Jia family has a large number of people, and there are also many capable people. He only needs to play the role of general manager. At other times, Lai Sheng, You Shi and others are responsible.Of course, with Jia Lian as the medium, the Rongguo Mansion also put in a lot of effort.

Because it is a major event shared by the two governments, driven by this common interest, things are progressing very smoothly.So Jia Qing often still has time to joke around with the sisters at home.

"Ah, after waiting for so long, you are finally willing to hand it over."

In Rongqing Hall, Jia Qing's room, Xiangyun was the first to pick up a luxurious gold-rimmed set of books, and turned to Jia Qing.

The owner of the bookstore who cooperated with Jia Qing last time heard that Jia Qing wanted him to print a book again, so he offered 5000 taels of silver in, and then worked overtime. According to the request, twenty sets were printed and sent to Ningguo Mansion.

You know, he didn't read the original text before sending the money.Seeing his behavior, Jia Qing didn't say anything, if he can make money from it, let him make money. Anyway, he has deleted and edited the book so many times, and it won't have any adverse effects on him.Moreover, the number of words in this book is five times lower than that of the previous book, and it is still 5000 taels. If you want to calculate it, the manuscript fee is much higher at once.
"Hey, there are only two volumes in this set of books?"

After Xiangyun picked up one volume, he went to look for the rest, only to find that there were only two volumes.Last time, it was such a thick pile.

Tanchun also picked up a copy and said, "A Chinese Ghost Story is such a novel name."

Then he took it, sat on the Kang beside him and read.

At this time, Jia Qing's house was full of fragrances, such as the fragrance of thread and books, but more of them were the fragrance of daughters.

Daiyu was not in a hurry to get those books, she walked up to Jia Qing and said, "Where's your original manuscript?"

Jia Qing said: "Put it in the room. If my sister wants to read it, she can just read these. Isn't it more convenient than that?"

Daiyu said: "Who wants to make it easier, will you give it?"

Well, Jia Qing had no choice but to say: "Okay, since my sister likes trouble, then I'll bring it over for you next time."

Only then did Daiyu nodded in satisfaction, then walked to Jia Qing's desk, repeatedly picked two books that she thought were the best bound books, and sat aside to read them.

Jia Baoyu was not in the house at this time, and the sisters were reading quietly. Jia Qing looked at Zijuan and asked, "Do you all know how to read?"

There were a few nods and a few shakes.

Jia Qing said: "If you want, you can read two copies yourself."

As soon as Zijuan Cuilu's eyes lit up, Qingwen went over and took a copy without any hesitation, and also went to the side to read it.Those maidservants who shook their heads before all regretted it, and looked at Jia Qing with eager eyes.

Although they couldn't read, each of Jia Qing's books was so beautifully made that they were worth a lot of money at first glance. Of course, if Jia Qing was willing to give them a gift, they would definitely not be willing to sell it.

Who doesn't know that this is specially customized by Jia Qing for the sisters in the family.To get one is decent.

Zijuan said: "Second Master, do you really want to send us off?"

Jia Qing said: "Who said I gave it to you, but I just borrowed it from you to have a look! Do you know how much each of my books cost? It would be enough to sell you all."

After hearing Jia Qing's words, Zicuckoo and other girls close to her were surprised, but after hearing what Jia Qing said later, they couldn't help feeling a little ashamed and angry.Although they are maids, you can't always think about selling them, right? Are you talking about human rights?

"Don't listen to his nonsense, come, take it, and don't have to pay it back, let's see what he can do!"

But Xiangyun didn't concentrate on reading, when he looked up and saw Jia Qing was bullying their maid, he immediately jumped off the kang, picked up two books from the table, came over and handed them to Cuilu.

"Don't look at me, and go find your own girl." Shi Xiangyun took care of her girl once, and Cui Ling was naturally happy, but the other maids all looked at her. She couldn't bear the pressure, so she said.

Zijuan and others were not easy to open their mouths. Books are expensive things. Jia Qing's books, at least ten taels of silver a piece, are worth their monthly money for a year. How dare they ask for it.

"Here, you take it too."

Not to be outdone, Daiyu also gave Zijuan two copies.If Shi Xiangyun did this, if she didn't express it, it would appear that she was not as good as her body.

Now that the two of them had hit the head, Yingchun, Tanchun, Xichun, etc. followed suit one after another. Looking at Jia Qing who looked like a scapegoat next to him, they all giggled instead.
