Li Zhong politely replied: "Visiting late at night, I hope that Chen Dongjia will not be surprised, mainly because there is an adult who wants to talk to Chen Dongjia for a few words, so ......"

Li Chongyi turned around, intending to introduce Su Jin, but suddenly found that there was no one behind him, Su Jin did not follow up, and there was nothing behind him except for a few accompanying officials.

Chen Dongjia said: "Which adult?" ”

Li Chong hurriedly asked the officer, "What about Master Su?" ”

A servant said, "In the courtyard, there is a big car circling." ”

Chen Dongjia's face changed, and he hurriedly said, "Then hurry up and invite this adult in?" What's so good about the big car, if you neglect this adult, you can't afford to be old. ”

As soon as the words fell, Su Jin came in from outside the door with a smile, holding something in his hand, clenching his fists and saying loudly: "Chen Dongjia, I have been looking up for a long time, I have disturbed." ”

Chen Dongjia hurriedly stepped forward and said: "Where did this adult come from, the two adults can come to the cold house, but the old man can't be invited, how can he say something to disturb." ”

Li Chongdao: "Chen Dongjia, this is Master Su, the envoy of the Qin's grain affairs, I'm afraid you don't know him." ”

Chen Dongjia's eyes widened, and he said after a while: "That's it...... Is it Lord Su who exterminated the bandits in Bagong Mountain, released grain relief in Yangzhou City, and cracked down on profiteers? ”

Su Jin smiled and said: "The Chen Dong family is well-informed, far away in the sky, but knows the world's affairs. ”

Chen Dongjia said with a smile: "The name of Su Envoy has been spread all over the states of Huainan Road, who doesn't know the name of Su Qingtian?" Although the old man is a grass people, he has passed on the name of the daimyo from person to mouth, how can he not know? ”

Su Jin laughed and said, "Isn't Dongjia Chen going to invite me to sit with Li Xianling?" ”

Chen Dongjia hurriedly said: "Oh, look at my old fool, the two adults hurry up and sit down, come here, make tea!" ”

Su Jin smiled and said: "Tea is not necessary, today I and Li Xianling came to visit rashly, there are some things to ask Chen Dongjia, just a few words, and leave after speaking." ”

Chen Dongjia said sincerely: "My lord, please ask, the old man will know everything." ”

Su Jin sat on the carved chair and said: "Very good, as long as you are willing to cooperate, the envoy will definitely give a reward, the envoy has just arrived in Tianchang today, what is the reason for this, does the Chen Dongjia know?" ”

Chen Dongjia bowed down and said, "This ...... How can you know about the affairs of the official family? ”

Su Jin said: "You might as well guess." ”

Chen Dongjia rolled his eyes and thought for a long time and said: "Forgive the old man for being stupid, the old man can't guess." ”

Su Jin laughed and said: "Chen Dongjia is not stupid, he just doesn't want to say it, no matter what, this envoy will not embarrass you, this afternoon, Li County Commander once called you and several other car dealers to the county office for questioning, but is there such a thing?" ”

Chen Dongjia said: "This is true, but the old man didn't help the county magistrate, and he was very ashamed." ”

Su Jindao: "It seems that you haven't said a word in the hall, I don't know if there is something that is not easy to say publicly, or if you have other considerations." ”

Chen Dongjia waved his hand and said: "It's not that it's hard to say, but the old man has nothing to say at all, the county magistrate asked if he had received a large order of business at the end of last month, saying that someone hired more than 200 cars to drive, and my Chen Ji car dealership has been dismal recently, and the old man can't tell lies and deceive people." ”

Su Jin nodded and said, "Of course you can't tell lies, but it's not right not to say what you've done." ”

Chen Dongjia hurriedly said: "My lord, I can't afford to be old. ”

Su Jin smiled and said: "You can afford it, let's not go around in circles, the envoy will give you a chance, you can answer me a question well, as long as you tell me honestly, the envoy will not only not embarrass you, but also ask for merit and rewards for you; But if you don't talk well, Ben Envoy is not a person to be messed with. ”

Chen Dongjia lowered his face and said coldly: "I am here to observe the people's feelings, but I am here to scare people, I Chen Ji has always been law-abiding, and it is the first time that the business and taxes are paid, although the businessman is smiling at people, but he is not the master at the mercy of others." ”

Su Jin nodded and said: "These words are worthy of the four words of righteousness and awe-inspiring, but these words sound familiar, by the way, there is a businessman named Feng Jingyao in Yangzhou City who also said this to the envoy, but do you know what he looks like now?" ”

The flesh on Chen Dongjia's cheeks twitched, and then said, "What Feng Jingyao, forgive the old man for being lonely and unheard, but I don't know him." ”

Su Jin sneered: "It doesn't matter if you don't know, the envoy might as well tell you about this person's tragic situation, this person used to be the richest man in Yangzhou City, and the scenery is infinite on weekdays, even the state capital can't help him, but now he is locked in a prison cell by the envoy, his whole body is beaten to pieces, and one of his fingers is cut off, and his beloved woman kills herself in front of him, and the whole person is now crazy, no different from a beggar on the side of the road, do you say it's miserable?" ”

Chen Dongjia's expression on his face was very unnatural, and he said in a trembling voice: "It's very miserable, but there are a lot of tragedies in the world. ”

Su Jin said: "Only sweep the snow in front of your own house, don't care about the frost on the tiles of others, it is good to protect yourself, but if you really have nothing to do with you, the envoy will not come to see you in the cold wind, to get to the point, the envoy still asks you this question, how to answer is your business, the envoy will never be beaten to death with a stick, always leave some opportunities for people, I hope you can seize this opportunity." ”

Chen Dongjia was silent, and the expression on his face was flat.

"At the end of last month, did your car dealer take over a single business? The business is to send someone to send a car to smuggle a batch of grain out of Yangzhou City, to tell you that this batch of grain is the grain that the crazy Feng Jingyao hoarded privately, and it is also the life-saving food of hundreds of thousands of people in Yangzhou. ”

Chen Dongjia opened his mouth to answer, but Su Jin stretched out his hand to stop him: "Don't be in a hurry to answer first, you have to think clearly." ”

Chen Dongjia stroked his beard and said slowly: "The old man said it a long time ago, there is no such thing at all, what you are talking about Feng Jingyao Old Man doesn't know at all, let alone have business dealings." ”

Su Jin said coldly: "Are you sure?" ”

Chen Dongjia paused and said, "Sure......"

Su Jin sighed and said: "Obsessed, stubborn, or shameless, then don't blame the envoy." ”

Chen Dongjia said proudly: "The old man has lived a lot of years, what hasn't happened?" I have heard a lot about the wrongs in the world, but I didn't expect that the old decay would also be encountered, but I want to see how the government framed the good people. ”

Li Chong saw that Su Jin had a tendency to run wild, for fear that he would do something out of the ordinary, and without any evidence, if this kid had a violent temper and came up to torture and extort a confession, it was not what a court official should do.

So he hurriedly said: "Brother Su, it's better to find out about this matter." ”

Su Jin smiled: "Brother Li, did you wronged him when I was me?" Haven't you always wondered how we can find this man who carries the grain? Just stand aside and watch this man come to life. ”

Li Zhong said: "If you extort a confession by torture, I will stop you if I can't say anything, and I will not sit idly by, whether it is public or private." So he puffed out his mouth and sat on the side, silent.

Su Jin turned to Chen Dongjia and said, "Chen Dongjia, you really don't tell the truth, do you?" ”

Chen Dongjia said: "What the old man said is the truth. ”

Su Jin said: "Okay, I don't understand why you people just don't shed tears when you don't see the coffin." After that, he stretched out his fist, which had been clenched since he entered the door, spread it out in front of Chen Dongjia, and asked, "What do you think this is?" ”

Chen Dongjia swept his eyes and suddenly said in shock: "This is ...... It's ......"

Su Jin flipped his hand, and the things in his hand crackled and fell to the ground, and said with a smile: "Chen Dongjia doesn't even know the rice, right?" People say that the four bodies of officials who study are not diligent and do not distinguish between grains, is it the same for Chen Dong's business? ”

Chen Dongjia said coldly: "The old man naturally recognizes the rice, but I don't know what a few grains of rice have to do with this matter?" ”

Su Jin said: "Of course it has a relationship, because these rice grains were found by the envoy on the cart parked in your yard before entering the door just now, and it is obvious that the grain was pulled, may I ask when the Chen Dongjia came out of the car to pull the grain?" ”

Chen Dongjia's eyes rolled wildly, and he suddenly shouted: "Planting, it's completely planting, where is the food on my cart?" It must have been sprinkled when you entered the door. ”

Su Jin spat him in the face and scolded: "The master will come to frame you?" You think that it is seamless, and the remaining grains on the car are clean, but you forget that although the cart cannot speak, it can also be tried; You're hiding it well, it's just not hot enough. Someone came, lit a torch, and brought him into the courtyard, and the envoy was to let him see it himself, and the cart could also speak. ”
