In the afternoon, Mrs. An Guogong ordered the cultivation of bonsai. There were so many bonsai, at least it would take a few days before they could be transported to the mansion. There is no rush for the time being.

Lu Dalang is now an imperial guard. He has three days off for a month and has only been off for three days ago. He has to wait for him to come back to deal with the affairs of the two maids. So Mrs. Anguo will temporarily arrange the two maids to do some cleaning at Luomeiju for a few days, and then wait for Lu Dalang to come back.

On the other hand, Ji Wan sent someone to investigate and found out what she had made.

"Reported to the third young lady, my subordinates have investigated it. The owner of the village is a clerk in the west of the city. His surname is Jia, who is in the silk business and enclosed land to build a villa."

"Arestoration?"

Ji Wan frowned slightly.

"Yes, it is said that the land is very Feng Shui. Jia Yuanwai has an old mother, who is old and weak, and has been lingering in sick for many years. He went to ask for divination. The fortune teller asked him to choose a Feng Shui treasure land and build a different courtyard to recuperate the disease, so he could cure the disease." The guard said: "For this reason, he bought land from several nearby villages in a row, which was enough. But Mrs. Jia held her own identity and was unwilling to join the villagers in the countryside, so she collected all the land in all the villages in the jurisdiction for her own use. Many people lived here for generations and were unwilling to sell the land and go far away. The Jia family joined hands with the government to arrest a few people as a threat. Some people had made trouble and died. The villagers were afraid, so they compromised. Now it was Xinghua Village, and they tried again to use the same trick again, wanting to force the sale."

"I see."

Ji Wan came out of the countryside and knew how important land was for farmers, it was equivalent to their lives. Even if it was floods and droughts, they had to take the land deeds with them. Even if the Jia family paid a high price to buy land, they took the money, it didn't matter. No one dared to shelter them when they went to other places. They didn't know how to do anything except farming, and they would just spend time in the morning and evening. Therefore, they would not hesitate to argue with the government and protect their rights.

Unfortunately, my arms can't force my thighs. How can ordinary people fight with the government?

"Did the Jia family simply bribe the county government with money, or does it have any background?"

"My subordinates are worried about alerting the enemy, so they have not yet investigated it."

Ji Wan nodded, "Get out."

"yes."

After the guard left, Xiang Fan held the hot tea and handed it to Ji Wan, "Mrs. Although Xinghua Village is under the jurisdiction of Jinxian County, it is the capital city. There are county governments that shelter merchants to harm the people. Why not tell the prefect of Jingzhao and hand it over to the prefect of the government?"

Xiang Fan was also a poor man and knew how difficult it was for the lower-class farmers to live. He heard about this and was full of resentment and hatred of the enemy.

Ji Wan took a sip of tea and said slowly: "At the feet of the emperor in the capital, you dare to take human life so arrogantly and so unscrupulously. Do you really think this is something that an ordinary merchant can do?"

Xiang Fan was shocked.

Zeng Ting whispered: "What does young lady mean is that there is a backer behind the Jia family?"

Ji Wan looked at the edge of the table with her finger, "The capital is full of powerful people, and they are almost all related to their relatives. If I don't thoroughly investigate this matter and sue the official recklessly, I will probably backfire."

The Lu family has been honored for generations and has made countless military achievements. That is, they are kind and loving the people today. If they were narrow-minded, they would have been suspicious. Lu Feili made countless contributions at a young age and was intimate with the prince of the Eastern Palace. I don’t know how many people were jealous behind their backs and wanted to catch him.

Before he was fully confident, Ji Wan would not cause trouble for him.

But she, a woman, cannot interfere in politics. Today she asked the guards to visit, and Lu Feili will know when he comes back in the evening.

After thinking about it, "You two, go to Zhou Mansion and Xiao Mansion respectively, find my second uncle and father, and bring a few words..."

In the evening, Lu Feili returned home. At the dinner table, Ji Wan said directly: "Do you know everything? I think there is something wrong with the Jia family."

Lu Feili looked at her with a smile in his eyes.

"Now you are getting more and more courageous. You know there is a problem but you dare to take care of it."

Ji Wan blinked, "Aren't you there to support me?"

Lu Feili chuckled, "Then why don't you ask me to deal with it directly? Instead, you entrust your uncle?"

Ji Wan was stunned, "Do you know everything?"

Lu Feili said flatly: "I guessed it. But judging from your reaction, it seems that I guessed it right."

Ji Wan felt guilty inexplicably, "Aren't I afraid of causing trouble for you? Besides, you are a military officer, and such a thing is not within your responsibilities."

At the end of the day, she became more and more confident.

The Ministry of Revenue is in charge of land, taxes, household registration, military supplies, salary, food and salary, and fiscal revenue and expenditure across the country. Zhou Changru is the Minister of Revenue, and it is the most appropriate to deal with this matter.

"Too."

Lu Feili looked at her and saw her proud expression. He suddenly changed his voice and said, "The Jia family enclosed land to build a different courtyard. Even if the behavior was violent, the purpose was reasonable. At most, ordinary people would only think that the Jia family bribed the government and took human life for their own selfish desires. How could you suspect that there must be a hidden truth in this matter? Even if it is at the foot of the emperor, if the government office presents a paper, if you first have to be killed, it is very likely that the paper will be lost before it is presented. Therefore, ordinary people usually choose to endure and give in and dare not sue. Besides, this is the capital. The Jia family is confident and must have a strong backer. You must know that the capital is full of powerful people, and who dares to provoke easily? Even the city gate cannot enter. Therefore, there is no flaw in the Jia family's actions. How do you suspect that the Jia family has other hidden truths?"

"It's very simple, I'm a doctor."

Ji Wan said: "I have thought about what you said. The rich have no retribution for evil. If this continues, the poor will be used to it and will choose to endure. Over time, the evildoers will become more and more unscrupulous. The victims think that the other party has a background and dare not resist. But the reason for the Jia family to build a villa is to raise their illnesses for the old mother, which was suggested by the fortune teller. Think about it, Jia Yuanwai is so superstitious that he will definitely seek Buddha. Buddhism emphasizes compassion, how can he kill? Furthermore, since he is seriously ill, he cannot delay any delay. Even if he wants to rest, he must choose a remote villa villa instead of rebuilding it. According to the land, it will take at least half a year to build a new villa. His mother is terminally ill. When the villa is repaired, he is afraid that he will die long ago. What disease will he still raise?"

“It makes sense very much.”

Lu Feili's eyes were full of praise, "Since that's the case, why don't you bring two villagers into the city directly as witnesses today? The Imperial Camp Army guarding the city is your father's subordinate. It's easy for you to take them into the city."

"I'm worried that there will be people from the other party in the Imperial Camp Army." Ji Wan said: "If the whereabouts are exposed, it will be difficult to deal with. After all, I have not investigated the matter clearly and cannot fully respond."

So she reported a letter to her stepfather in advance to ensure that the day the witness entered the city, all the people guarding the city were his confidants, so that she could ensure that everything was worry-free.

"It seems that I'm not completely useless, at least I can help you run errands."

Lu Feili is a military general, with many brothers in the army and many children from aristocratic families. It is naturally no problem to investigate the Jia family.

"How can you say that you are helping me? They are all people of Dayan. In the future, the prince will succeed to the throne, and the people in the world will be his subjects. If someone at my feet ignores the laws and ignores human life like this, you, a close minister in the Eastern Palace, cannot stand by and watch, right?"

Lu Feili smiled and said, "My teacher is known for his clever words. He dares to tell the emperor's merits and demerits in the court. He can scold people without swearing words to piss off the treacherous ministers. You are so smart and eloquent, and I think it is because of your family's origins."

Ji Wan was about to tell the difference when she suddenly remembered something and looked at him strangely, "My grandfather is your mentor, so why don't you be the same generation as my grandfather? After all, my mother has to call you uncle, then I won't I..."

Lu Feili just took a sip of the soup and almost choked when he heard it, "I said, Madam, your imagination can end here. You and I have already entered the bridal chamber. Now I am here to get to worry about these origins. Don't you think it's too mediocre?"

"I'll just talk about why you helped our family so much, it turned out to be the dignified elder." Ji Wan snorted and accused indignantly, "It's a pity that you are disrespectful to the old and have such thoughts towards the younger generation. It's simply a shame that you are not as good as a conscience."

Lu Feili twitched the corner of his mouth and sighed, "Just praised you for your intelligence, why did you become stupid so quickly? I told you the origin of your mentor from the day I never stepped into your door. It's almost four years before you figured out the key points. Are you too slow?"

Now it's Ji Wan's turn to be defeated.

She was not convinced, "Then I didn't expect to marry you. Besides, we lived in the north at that time and never thought about returning to the capital. What is your relationship with my grandfather? What does it have to do with me? Later, I returned to Beijing, from Zhou Mansion to Xiao Family, and I became the daughter of the Xiao family. I was busy every day, so how could I study these twists and turns? I forgot about it. Besides, since you married me, my grandfather is also your grandfather. You have a clear relationship, so you shouldn't call me a mentor in front of me. Isn't this intentional misleading me?"

This ability to distort black and white is also to be mastered to the pinnacle.

Lu Feili shook his head and did not care about her. Instead, he followed her words: "It's for her husband's fault. My wife has a lot of money, so I will allow me to make up for my mistakes. I will do this properly to eliminate my wrath. Is that good?"

Ji Wan coughed twice, and her face turned slightly red by his call of "Madam", but her heart was sweet. She was unreasonable, but she was tolerant and generous and unwilling to care about it, which shows her importance to herself.

"Elders in the family call me Awan. Since you and I are husband and wife, you should be close. It's better not to mention those polite and polite names."

In fact, when the relationship was in love, Lu Feili also called her nickname. But on weekdays, men like to call her "Madam" or "Madam", which makes her blush, and men are happier.

Lu Feili looked at the blush on her face and the corners of her mouth slightly raised.

"good."

Ji Wan's face was blushed by his eyes, and she quickly turned her eyes open and buried her head in her meal.

Still so shy.

Lu Feili smiled in his eyes and said no more.

It will be about to rest at night.

As soon as Ji Wan lowered her coat, Lu Feili wrapped herself around her waist. Her whole body stiffened, and she remembered the lingering days and nights, and her face flushed spread to her ears and necks.

"Awan..."

Lu Feili called in her ears in a low voice.

It’s fine if you look evil, but even your voice sounds so nice. How can others live?

The gentle kiss fell on her cheek, and the warm breath made Ji Wan's face redder and her heart beat like a drumbeat.

"The light has not been turned off yet..."

Lu Feili laughed softly, picked her up horizontally, and entered the bed tent. The curtain was lowered and he pressed it up. What followed was his overwhelming kiss, and Ji Wan couldn't remember any candle lights anymore.

...

The Jia family does have a background, and Lu Feili investigated for nearly ten days before he found out.

"The Jia family has many connections in the officialdom, but they have no relatives with the Jin County Magistrate." Lu Feili said: "But the Jin County Magistrate sheltered the murderer, but did not accept him bribes. In addition, your second uncle said that when he checked the registered population of villagers in Jin County, he found that the household registration of those who were expelled were still there and it was not eliminated. In other words, those people cannot be moved or settled in other places. In order to avoid them gathering together to make the matter worse, the Jia family is likely to have silenced these people."

Ji Wan was shocked.

"There are more than a dozen villages who were driven away, and there are at least more than a thousand people in total! Are they so crazy?"

Lu Feili's expression was also extremely cold.

"It seems you guessed right before. If there is a problem with the Jia family, it is definitely not as simple as building a villa." His eyes were dull, "By the way, I bribed the doctor who treated Mrs. Jia. Mrs. Jia was indeed in health. It was not a stubborn disease. She lived in her hometown in Fengyang and came to the capital last year. At first, she was not convinced, and she was dizzy, diarrhea and fatigue. In addition, she was not used to living in the Jia family, and her condition has been repeated and has not yet recovered. In order to give her a comfortable living environment, her son chose a place to build a villa. The neighbors and neighbors praised him for his filial piety."

Ji Wan was sarcastic, "I have filial piety and leave my mother alone in Fengyang for many years? Why didn't I bring Mrs. Jia to the capital early? It's clear that I have ulterior motives."

Lu Feili smiled without a smile, "Her eldest son is the county magistrate in Fengyang. He suddenly passed away last year and only came to the capital."

"Suddenly died of illness?"

Since you have grasped the keywords, "How do you say it?"

"Mr. Jia County is visiting, but unfortunately he was bitten by a poisonous snake on his way back and died on the spot." Lu Feili's eyes had a deep meaning, "It was in the middle of winter at that time, and snakes would choose places to hibernate. Besides, it was not the deep mountains and forests, but the sudden appearance of a poisonous snake on both sides of the official road for no reason. Isn't it strange?"

"As such an obvious thing, the coroner did not question it?"

"Because at that time, it was reported that he was natural death, not poisoning." Lu Feili's tone was careless, but every word was cold, "I specially sent someone to Fengyang to seize the matter."

Ji Wan's heart was heavy.

"The direct beneficiary of County Magistrate Jia's death should be the county magistrate who later served, but this person was not from Fengyang, and he only took office thousands of miles later. In terms of time, it is not up to par."

"So what you mean is that County Magistrate Jia died just for the sake of Jia Mu's entry into Beijing?" Ji Wan's mind suddenly had an inspiration, "Is Jia Mu's relationship with this second son not good?"

Lu Feili's eyes were slightly deeper, "That's it."
