The key person Su Jin said was Chen Laogen who was rescued on Bagong Mountain.

This person is an abandoned son of Zhu Shiyong, I thought that after being caught by the bandits, he would be killed by the bandits and be killed, but I didn't expect that Su Jin actually rescued him, and settled in Yangzhou City with delicious food and drink.

During this time, he was busy dealing with Feng Jingyao, and Su Jin almost forgot about him, this person was the witness who proved that Zhu Shiyong deliberately leaked the secret of grain transportation to the bandits; And the physical evidence is the letter.

That letter Su Jin turned the cottage upside down and didn't find it, and he didn't even see it in Shen Yaozu's treasure room, it was very likely that it had been torn up, or it was lost by Shen Yaozu, even so, with this Chen Laogen, as long as he followed this clue, it would definitely make Zhu Shiyong unable to eat and walk around.

In the current situation, Wang Qinian and Zhu Shiyong are obviously colluding, and Wang Qinian came forward to expose Su Jin's actions, which naturally wanted to put Su Jin to death; People have no heart to eat tigers, and tigers are harmful to people's minds; This matter is not a grudge entanglement, if the festival in Luzhou is enough for Zhu Shiyong to kill Su Jin in order to cover up the crime of releasing death row prisoners like Scarface Hei Qi without permission, Wang Qinian is a little inexplicable.

However, Su Jin soon understood that Yan Biyun was right, things were not isolated, and as soon as he became the food envoy, it meant that he had entered the whirlpool of phase competition; Wang Qinian is also very likely to be instructed by others to do this, all in all, the struggle for power and interests will make many people inexplicably become victims under the overthrow, if they do not have the means of consciousness and maneuvering, they don't know how to die in the future.

Su Jin, who understood this section, became relaxed, since it was a life-and-death game, there was nothing to say, it was impossible to get out of the matter, and Su Jin would never do it; Launching an effective counterattack is the fundamental solution, and the chips on Su Jin's hand are also very powerful, if it weren't for Qiu Dabao's death, Zhu Shiyong could be moved down almost effortlessly, because Qiu Dabao was one of Zhu Shiyong's privately transferred death row prisoners, which is a living witness.

Yan Biyun struggled to get up from Su Jin's arms, wiped the numb lips that were sucked by Su Jin, and said with a red face: "I know that the slave family is bullied, and all the people who come and go are people, and I don't know the inspection." ”

Su Jin pulled her to sit down and told her about Chen Laogen, Yan Biyun suddenly realized, no wonder Su Jin was suddenly so happy, with such a person at hand, he could just hit Zhu Shiyong's vital point.

"Have you figured out how to do it? What the slave family is worried about is that you will not be qualified to expose Zhu Shiyong at all, once the matter is handed over to others, the result will be very different. Yan Biyun said worriedly.

"Hand over Chen Laogen to Lord Yan, and let him check it." Su Jindao.

Yan Biyun bit her red lip and pondered: "Although my uncle is the third minister, the third department can't manage the responsibility of the prison, and the uncle of the official's audit has no right to intervene." ”

Su Jin scratched his head and said: "This is a problem, this Imperial History Cheng Ouyang Xiu doesn't know which faction it is, if he is reliable, it is not bad to leave it to him." ”

Yan Biyun suddenly remembered that Yan Shu's letter had not yet been read, so he hurriedly picked up the letter and said, "It's all your fault, it's all nonsense, my uncle's letter is half read, and I just happened to talk about this Lord Ouyang, maybe my uncle will have an evaluation of this person." ”

Su Jin hurriedly said: "Yes, yes, read quickly." ”

Yan Biyun Zhanxin continued to read: "In view of the fact that this is the Holy Lord's personal approval of the three churches to try this case, the old man has to remind you that the Holy Lord has shown mercy; Because the triage of the three churches takes a long time, it can take as little as a month or more than half a year to summarize the results and report them to the Holy Lord, which also shows that the Holy Lord recognizes your merits in Yangzhou, which is giving you time to do a good job in the food errand. ”

"The matter of food is the first priority at this time, and if you do it well, you will have a great fault and you will have room for manoeuvre; In fact, the old man believes a little bit about Wang Qinian's accusations, and according to your temper, he doesn't know much about the taboos of the court, and it is very likely that these accusations against you are not false; The old man can tell you openly and honestly, you are wary of the old man, which makes the old man very surprised, you may think that the old man is just using you to achieve the purpose of competing for the phase, it is true that the food affairs are done well, it is indeed beneficial to the old man, but why will you not benefit from it? Besides, my Great Song Dynasty is full of talents, no matter who goes to do this errand, or can't do his job, but it will never be a mess, without him, the emperor supports it, and the old man is in charge. ”

Yan Biyun frowned, put down the letterhead, looked at Su Jin, and said nothing.

Su Jin understands that Yan Biyun blames himself a little, if a person is alienated from someone in his heart, even if you cover it up, it will make others aware of it, this is intuition; And Su Jin's cover-up skills are not at home, he is not good at Yan Shu, and he often does not follow Yan Shu's words, take this incident as an example, if Su Jin really treats Yan Shu as his own, how can he hide the details from him, and the text is only a rough idea, so Yan Shu will be caught off guard in the court.

Su Jin smiled awkwardly and said, "Keep reading, it's not too late to say anything later, but I can tell you my heart, in this world, I can't pin my fate on a certain person or a certain group of people; Although I am not deeply involved in the world, I know that there are no eternal friends in the officialdom and court, and how can an untested friendship be considered a real friendship? For example, Brother Li Chong, this is true friendship, I can give him my life, but he will never joke with my life. ”

Yan Biyun sighed and said softly: "I understand what you said, in fact, my uncle is suspected of taking advantage of you, but don't speculate on him, the slave family grew up beside him since he was a child, and he admires his uncle, he is by no means the kind of person you imagined." ”

Su Jin held her hand and said, "You are wrong, I have never maliciously speculated about him, it's just that Lord Yan and I haven't experienced the test of life and death, I just can't be sure; Don't worry, he is your uncle and my uncle, and I won't be too far from him. ”

Yan Biyun has nothing to say, Su Jin's caution cannot be said to be wrong, compared to his bold style, this is an extreme contrast in behavior and psychology, in fact, it is not difficult to understand, it is precisely because he has no backer to rely on and believe that he will work hard to get things done, even if it is by some extraordinary means; Su Jin is not very old, and it is normal to be a little radical.

Yan Biyun continued: "And the reason why I chose you to take on this role is that the old man, like Bao Zheng and others, thinks that you are a talent that can be created, and your future is limitless, whether from a public or private point of view, you are the best candidate; Besides, you and Biyun girl fall in love again, the old man likes Biyun the most, how can the old man not mention the person she likes? In short, no matter what you think in your heart, you must also be consistent with the old man, there can be no deviation in the matter of food affairs, and the saint will not forgive if something goes wrong, this matter is more important than anything else, and if you smash this matter, there will be no chance in the future. ”

Su Jin nodded secretly, thinking deeply; Yan Shu's words are like digging out his heart, no matter what, his love for Yan Biyun is true, he loves the house and Wu, and he will not be too bad for himself; More importantly, as he said, there is absolutely no room for error in the matter of food affairs.

"Ouyang Xiu, the old man doesn't know him well, this person's reputation doesn't seem to be very good, he acts arrogantly on weekdays, and he is also contemptible, and he is despised by all the courtiers; However, the saint attached great importance to him, and the court often asked him by name for his opinion when discussing major matters; However, although this person has a bad reputation, he is not too outrageous in his actions; This time, it was he who took the initiative to ask Ying to take over your affairs, which relieved the old man, otherwise once the case fell into the hands of the two governments, it would be tricky; Afterwards, he also had an exchange with the old man, and his words seemed to be quite protective of you, but the old man thought that he was not trustworthy, and it was the best policy to be more careful in everything, you can try your best to cooperate with him in the investigation. ”

Su Jinda frowned, he wanted to use Yan Shu's evaluation of Ouyang Xiu to understand this person, but Yan Shu said such a lot but didn't say anything, and he still couldn't figure out the details of Ouyang Xiu, it seemed that he still had to understand him by himself.

Yan Biyun continued: "The progress of the grain affairs is quite slow, except for the Qinfeng Road and the Yongxing Army, which are located on the front line of the northwest battle, the remaining 21 roads have been forcibly closed to restrict the circulation of grain; According to your suggestion, checkpoints have been set up on official roads between the states, and the emperor has specially allowed 100,000 Gyeonggi forbidden troops to go to the states to act; Since November 20, the date of the imperial court's restriction has disappeared from the black market of grain and rice in all state capitals, but there is no grain in the market, and the shortage of grain is even worse. ”

"All the states have issued orders to compulsorily collect grain, and it has also been effective, but the food shortage is still 30 million stones, and the profiteers have hidden the grain deeper after hearing the news, and the state government has acted ineffectively, and even colluded with the profiteers to report the news, and the old man has asked the emperor to take more severe measures, hoping to make a difference; At present, the old man hopes that you will complete the errand on Huainan Road as soon as possible, as long as Huainan Road is cleared first, profiteers and colluding officials will be severely punished, and this can be used as a lesson to deter other states, and things will definitely take a turn for the better. ”

"Although the three divisions of other state capitals have also sent personnel to handle food affairs, most of them are ineffective, so you need to take the lead in making a flaunt, and the old man can also use this as a breakthrough to publicize this matter; The emperor also has a decree that the profiteers and officials who collude with Huainan Road should be punished with the heaviest punishment, which is the method of killing chickens and monkeys, so when you act, you should not be too gentle, and you would rather betray the name of a cool official, and you should not tolerate hesitation, otherwise you will not be able to deter other states, and the grain affairs will not succeed. At this point, you can consider it, the end of the year is approaching, the time is quite urgent, and you still need to put more effort into it. ”

After reading the letter, Su Jin fell into deep thought, it seemed that everything was not going well, Yan Shu's only hope was that he could quickly solve the grain affairs on Huainan Road, kill a group, lock up a group, and exile a group, so that the people who were watching from other state capitals would be frightened, and things would be much easier.

"The letter is burned, there are some words on it that no one can know." Su Jin raised his eyes and said lightly.

Yan Biyun snorted and threw the envelope into the brazier, and the flames burst into flames and instantly turned into ashes.
