Chapter 382: The Banquet in the Lobby
Su Jin and the three of them quickly walked through the empty streets and alleys, returned to their residences, and fastened the door of the house.
The dynasty who had been holding back all the way couldn't wait to ask: "Son, your method is so wonderful, sure enough, this guy eats soft or not hard, and you really guessed it right." ”
Su Jin covered his hands on the teacup and said with a smile: "It's just soft and hard, but he still refuses to give in if it's soft." ”
Ma Han came up and said: "Yes, yes, the last hand to feed him poison is the happiest, so that this guy will not dare to come out of the moth in the back, otherwise the prince will not give him the antidote, let him die of intestinal rot." ”
Su Jin smiled and said: "The poison of the fart, the jelly beans sold on the street are just sugar-coated flour, and the brown sugar juice poured outside." ”
Dynasty Mahan's eyes were jumping on the ground, he was playing an empty city plan, it turned out that he was only fed a handful of jelly beans on the street.
"But didn't you say there were some side effects? What are the side effects of eating jelly beans, isn't this revealing the filling? ”
Su Jin said: "Go and ask everything, I can't tell you about this, lest you go out and harm people." ”
Dynasty Mahan rolled his eyes, what is called harming people everywhere, just asking, if you don't say it, you won't say it, and you have to say this kind of thing.
The two washed their feet and faces, went to bed and fell asleep, Su Jin also washed and went to bed to rest, and said in his heart: The master walked out of the door, wouldn't it be worth the master to say it, the jelly beans are good, but it was smoked with his own few Burning Sun Rejuvenation Pills for an afternoon, didn't I see that the master was wrapped in tin foil when he took it out? If it weren't for the noodles, I'm afraid I wouldn't even dare to take them out.
Thinking that the blind third master was afraid that he was busy at the moment, and he would not stop if he didn't toss for most of the night, he secretly laughed in his heart, thought about it for a while, and fell asleep.
Early the next morning, Su Jin went to the Ximen Yuelai Inn with the dynasty Mahan to send the old shopkeeper, the old shopkeeper Yin Yin warned Su Jin to be careful, Su Jin had great respect for the old shopkeeper who regarded him as his father, and bought a lot of food for him to take back to Luzhou to distribute, and asked him to bring a letter to Mrs. Wang, saying that he would return to Luzhou for reunion before the year.
Su Jin originally wanted Zhang Long to follow and take care of him, but the old shopkeeper knew that Su Jin needed manpower to do things, and said that the bandits had been eliminated and safe, so he insisted on letting Zhang Long stay with Su Jin; Su Jin couldn't resist him, so he had to give up; It was not until noon that he saw the old shopkeeper leave the city with Yang Xiaosi and others.
Su Jin turned around and was about to tell Yan Biyun and others about last night's incident, when he suddenly saw people on the street turning over on their backs, and a team of cavalry galloped over, led by Zhao Dutou of the horse army.
Zhao Dutou saw Su Jin hurriedly turn over and dismount, and shouted: "Oh, Lord Envoy, teach me to find it, but I'm in a hurry." ”
Su Jin said in surprise: "What's wrong?" ”
"It's a commotion, it's a commotion." Zhao Dutou said in a stacked voice.
"What's the fuss?"
Zhao Dutou stretched his neck and took a few breaths of air, and said: "The Song Governor's Mansion is looking for you everywhere, saying that the soldiers are making a fuss, and the Song Governor's Mansion is waiting for you in the lobby as if he is in a hurry." ”
Su Jin was taken aback, and said in his heart: This Song prefect is too, it must be that the command of Pan Jiang and Pan Shiyi has not been done well by others, and it has made a fuss.
Su Jin had no time to ask, hurriedly pulled a horse and stepped on, and galloped back to the mansion with Zhao Dutou and others, and on the way Zhao Dutou kept complaining: "This Song prefect doesn't know what kind of evil he has committed, yesterday afternoon he suddenly went to the Xiangbing camp to check what kind of soldiers' salaries, and finally found out that the two Pan commanders were greedy for the soldiers' salaries, and they announced in public that the two were suspended, and promoted the two Xiaodu heads to the position of temporary commanders, do you think, Pan Jiang is desperate to fight Bagong Mountain with us, and there is no reward, but he still treats people like this, This kind of deducting soldiers' salaries is more common in the army than eating, dressing, shitting, and farting, why is the Song Governor making such a fuss? ”
Su Jin was depressed, Song Zhen really had no way to do things, he clearly explained that he was low-key, and it was a good way to talk about things with soldiers' salaries, but wouldn't it be a shame to announce it in public, and he whispered it in private, and he had to explain to Pan Jiang and Pan Shiyi that this was required by the text from above, and he had to make a show, and when the limelight passed, the official would be reinstated, and all the responsibilities would be pushed to the top.
"What's going on now?"
"Don't mention it, the two commanders tied themselves up, and knelt down in the lobby with six or seven good friends and a group of soldiers who had a good relationship on weekdays and asked the Song Governor to question them, saying that since they were guilty of greedy ink, they should not be suspended, but should act according to the law, in short, it will not be a mess."
Su Jin scolded: "Damn, they're all a bunch of people who don't have brains, and doing a good thing like this is stupider than a pig." ”
Zhao Dutou hurriedly shut up, this scolding is suspected of even scolding himself, and he must not speak, so as not to provoke anger.
There were twenty or thirty people kneeling like straw men in the hall of the yamen, all of them with half of their shoulders exposed, and a few firewood bundled on their bodies.
Su Jin got off the horse at the dismount stone at the yamen, and rushed into the yamen lobby, Song Zhen saw Su Jin like a child seeing his father and mother, and rushed over, if Su Jin hadn't dodged quickly, I was afraid that he would have hugged Su Jin and cried bitterly.
Su Jin glanced at him, changed his smile and said loudly: "What is this?" Commander Pan, a bare man on a cold day, what kind of kung fu are you practicing? ”
When Pan Jiang saw Su Jin, he was even more energetic, and hurriedly said: "Your Excellency, you give us a reason, we are desperate to exterminate the bandits and maintain local peace, and it is okay if we don't leave good words, but the prefect went to check what kind of military salary we have, you know the rules in the army best, even if we don't want it, the soldiers will still leave some salary and silver to honor us, how can it be so unreasonable, and we will stop our duties when we speak; Since it is so serious, the greed for the military salary is a big deal, so I will do it according to the big thing, and I am here with the brothers who have received the salary to bear the guilt; Please deal with it according to the law, and if you want to fight or kill, you must listen to the respect. ”
Su Jin laughed and said: "It turns out that this is the case, this is to bear the guilt of Jing Jing; What is the big thing for me, what is my brother not good to say, first get up and put on clothes, warm up; If you don't freeze your nose and tears, you can only know it, and those who don't know at that time are reluctant to let this official position be painful and weeping. ”
Pan Jiang stiffened his neck and said, "If you don't give an explanation, you won't get up." ”
Su Jin said: "Naturally, there is a saying when you get up, what kind of system does this look like, make trouble now, if the court's decree arrives in a few days, won't it make people laugh to death." ”
Pan Jiang listened to the words and hesitated: "The court's grace? ”
Su Jin waved his hand and said: "Close the door of the lobby, boil a few pots of hot tea to warm up the two commanders and the brothers, please retreat first, there are onlookers at the door who talk nonsense." ”
The officials hurriedly complied, and Su Jin commanded the officials to have a more posture than Song Zhen, and Song Zhen, the authentic prefect, was left to the side and stood there in embarrassment.
The yamen lobby was closed, the hot tea was brewed, Su Jin stretched out his hand and pulled the shocking wooden pen and ink tokens on the big case of the prefect in the lobby into a bamboo basket, looked at the stunned officials and said, "What are you looking at?" Bring down the big case and put it on the table, go out to the restaurant to order some wine and food, it's almost noon, don't you want to eat? ”
"This ...... Envoy Su, are you going to drink and eat in the lobby? Is it still the big platform used by this government to try the case? Song Zhen couldn't help it, and came up to ask.
"Well, what's wrong, Lord Prefect, what's wrong? I'm going to invite Commander Pan and others to dinner here, this lobby is also bright, and eating wine under the high plaque of this mirror also has a unique taste. ”
Song Zhen even made his eyes, Su Jin pretended not to know, Pan Jiang and Pan Shiyi and others were very happy to see it, they were here to practice Song Zhen today, but they didn't expect the envoy to follow him to practice, don't mention this happiness in my heart; I vaguely felt that Su Envoy was a comrade-in-arms in the trench with them, and Su Jin was embarrassed to invite them to get up again.
The wine and food were quickly boiled and put on the table, in addition to all kinds of cold dishes, there were two steaming hot pots, the prefect's yamen was the big platform for the trial, and the lively and lively sitting on all sides of more than 20 people was still a little rich.
Su Jin half-pulled and half-dragged Song Zhen, who was full of unhappiness, to the main seat and sat down, stretched out his hand to pat the mud seal of the wine jar, ordered someone to fill everyone's wine bowls, and said with a smile: "Drinking in the lobby, but the first time in my life, this feeling is different; The plaque hanging high in the mirror is the eyes of the saints, we are talking and doing things under the noses of the saints, and I will explain to you today's things after drinking this bowl of wine, I will only explain it once, but I dare to guarantee that there will never be half a lie under the eyes of the saints, so you must believe it, and believe it if you don't believe it, understand? ”
When Pan Jiang and the others heard Su Jin say that the plaque was the eyes of the saint, they immediately felt uncomfortable, and when they were making a fuss at first, they didn't expect that this was a place that represented the majesty of the imperial court, but a serious prefect's hall that couldn't make a fuss; The people sentenced to death here are not a hundred or fifty or sixty, which can be described as an ominous place; At this moment, when Su Jinyi said it, he suddenly felt worried and beat a small drum.
In front of the Song Governor's Mansion, why did this envoy feel that this matter was a bit too much?
Over there, Su Jin had already picked up the wine bowl and said with a smile: "After this bowl, let's talk about it later." ”
Pan Jiang and Pan Shiyi glanced at each other, and put their hearts horizontally, Hengzhi has already made trouble today, it is useless to be afraid, it is better not to think about anything, the two of them picked up the wine bowl and poured all the wine into their stomachs.
