Cao Min was taken over, and he was very happy; After Fu Bi took the people away, the news spread throughout the academy after a while, and everyone breathed a sigh of relief, as if the clouds had seen the sun, and the shadow that shrouded their hearts disappeared, and they suddenly became brighter.

People have speculated about who reported the matter and took advantage of the opportunity to be greedy. The two charges of corruption and Cao Min's fabrication of evidence in the student case are actually very limited, and some people think that Qi Shunbin did it, because Cao Min's actions almost destroyed the academy that he worked hard for and was proud of.

But Su Jin doesn't see it that way, Qi Shunbin is the kind of person who can do anything for the sake of the academy, the reputation of the academy is higher than his life, Cao Min's actions are almost ruined the academy, but it is precisely based on the reputation of the academy that Qi Shunbin cannot be greedy for Cao Min in the academy. The corrupt and inward-behaving practices were exposed, as they also brought a stain on the academy and its own reputation.

This can also explain why before the student's case, Cao Min used the opportunity of Shu Xiu to embezzle a large amount of money, and Qi Shunbin, as the head of the mountain, knew about this matter but did not punish it.

Su Jin didn't have time to guess this, he was thinking, what was Lord Yan Shu coming to Ying Tianfu for again? Take Cao Min? Reprimanding Qi Shunbin? Such a trivial matter does not need Yan Shu to come in person at all, and it turns out that even if he comes to Yingtian, such a thing will not even show his face, and it will be completely handled by Fu Bi.

But for the sake of King Teng? For Karasuke? For yourself? Su Jin's mind was full of question marks.

……

At the second watch of the night, the guards outside the official post of Tianfu were heavily guarded, and the three divisions made the guards patrol back and forth along several alleys around the official post in a group of three, and the officials who were waiting to see Yan Shu had been waiting until the afternoon until it was dark and did not see Yan Shu's face.

Su Jin's mule cart was subjected to strict interrogation and questioning on the periphery of the official post, and the soldiers seemed to have been explained, and when Su Jin reported his name, he came to the gate of the official post unimpeded.

Su Jin got out of the car, dressed neatly, looked at the surrounding posture, and played a small drum in his heart, this formation is scary enough, Yan Shu didn't want to be like this today when he came to Tianfu before.

The servant led Su Jin to walk in the official post, and as soon as he entered the second entrance, he saw a tall figure standing outside the main house of the second entrance, looking around, and saw Su Jin's person hurriedly coming up, and said with a smile: "Little brother Su came on time, the second watch's bangzi just rang, and you arrived." ”

Su Jin hurriedly bowed his hand and said: "My lord summoned me, how dare I not be punctual, there is Brother Lao Fu waiting for you." ”

Fu Bi smiled and took Su Jin's arm and said, "Let's go, my father-in-law is waiting for you." ”

Su Jin was held by his arm, his scalp was numb for a while, and he was helplessly dragged by him to the main room.

Push the door in, the room is brightly lit, Yan Shu is dressed in a black silk robe, sitting behind the desk and talking about something with a black and thin middle-aged man, short and fat figure, plus this dress, I don't know I think it's a rich man, but I don't know that this person is the three envoys of the Great Song Dynasty who stepped on one foot and trembled three times.

Seeing Su Jin come in, Yan Shu had a smile on his face and stood up; Su Jin hurriedly stepped forward to greet him, and Yan Shu smiled and said, "Let's meet again, come, introduce you to someone." ”

After that, he stretched out his hand and gestured to the black and thin middle-aged man who was sitting at the bottom: "This is General Li, the general who should be deployed by the German army in Tianfu, I'm afraid you don't know each other yet." ”

Su Jin stepped forward and saluted, "Meet Master Li." ”

Li Gang returned the salute, his eyes were shining, he looked Su Jin up and down a little rudely, and said in a deep voice: "It turns out that this is Su Xiaoguan, who has been admired for a long time." ”

Su Jinxin said: I am a nobody, don't you say that Jiuyang is telling lies to your face; Just as he was about to say a few polite words, he heard Li Gang continue: "Su Xiaoguan has turned the world upside down in Yingtianfu, and I have long wanted to see and see the honor, but I didn't expect to see it here in the third envoy, and he is a young man." ”

"Master Li, now you know what it means to be terrible." Yan Shu twisted his beard and smiled.

Li Gang said: "That's true, heroes come out of teenagers." ”

Su Jin was humble, the guest of honor was seated, Fu Bi ordered the servants to serve tea, and then ordered the door to be closed and no one was allowed to enter.

Yan Shu opened his mouth and said: "I invite Master Li and Su Xuexue to come here today, there is something important to discuss, to be honest, in this Ying Tianfu, I am afraid that there are only two people who can be trusted by the old man." ”

Li Gang got up and arched his hand and said: "Why did the boss say this, the lower official is the master with one hand, although he has been leading troops outside in the past few years, and he belongs to the Privy Council, he is afraid of causing trouble to the boss, so he didn't dare to move around, but the lord has orders, as long as he does not violate the law and discipline of the court, the lower official will never give up." ”

Yan Shu smiled and said: "You are still the same, before doing things, you must always add a sentence that does not violate the laws and disciplines of the imperial court, and there is a problem with Bao Zheng." ”

Li Gang's face turned red and said: "These are all taught by the boss, and the teachings of the boss in the past are vivid, and I dare not disobey them." ”

Yan Shu smiled, then put away his smile, and sighed: "Ying Tianfu has not been peaceful recently, there have been accidents one after another, there have been many people in Ying Tianfu who have gone to the Criminal Department to shout grievances in the past two years, and they would rather be beaten to the board than shout grievances, and I am afraid that things here are a little strange." ”

Li Gang said: "Boss, with all due respect, some people here are too unspeakable, although the officials have no right to manage government affairs, but their deeds are clear, some people receive the grace of the saint but do not know how to reciprocate, but they are pampered and arrogant, colluding with each other, there is a tendency to fly and friends, and there are some tricks, the lower officials have no real evidence, do not talk nonsense; The lower officials are very worried, if no one reprimands them for restraint, it may cause a catastrophe. ”

Yan Shu frowned and was silent, Su Jin said secretly: This Li Gang is a straight person, and the meaning of his words is directly aimed at King Teng and Tang Jie, it seems that King Teng's dangerous behavior is also aware of this person.

"Lord Li is worried about national affairs, and the old man admires it very much; I understand what you mean, and I won't tell you anything, I have mentioned this matter to the emperor several times; Today, the saint is benevolent and righteous, and he thinks of the love of bones and blood, and he is reluctant to make some moves, and we as courtiers should also be considerate of the saint's benevolent heart; But this is not a bad thing, because the poisonous sores will eventually come out, and when the poisonous sores are not broken, the appearance is no different from the intact skin; At this time, if you dig it with a knife, of course, you will dig up the rotten meat inside, but it is also painful, and others will still treat you as stupid, and a good piece of meat will be dug to a sparse extent; But once the poisonous sores are broken, it is simple, just grit your teeth and squeeze it with your hands, the pus and blood will flow out, and you will be able to heal the scar in a few days after cleaning and applying medicine, and others will not blame you for being vicious. ”

Everyone here is a smart person, although Yan Shu's words are obscure, but everyone can understand them, Su Jin wondered whose words he meant, whether it was the emperor's meaning, or Yan Shu's meaning, in short, no matter whose meaning it was, maybe this is the reason why he sent Zhu Lezi and two confessions to Beijing, but in exchange for not being nosy.

"The lower official was taught, and the boss woke up the lower official in a few words, but the lower official didn't understand, should he let it develop at this time and not curb it? In case the tail is really too big, even if it can be a hundred in the future, the price paid may not be small, and it will hurt the vitality of the people and the court. ”

Yan Shu nodded and said, "What Master Li said is very reasonable, which is why the old man invited you to come today; This time, Ying Tianfu had a case of students, and in the end, even the grandfather gave a dream to Su Xiaoguan, and made the contents of the oath tablet in the temple public, and the emperor was extremely angry in private. But Ying Tianfu Yin Tangjie covered it up seamlessly, and actually reported this wrong thing as a credit, saying that Ying Tianfu was well governed, and was favored by the spirit of the great grandfather in the sky, and the dream was an auspicious omen, and what did he say about this matter because the great grandfather announced the matter through the mouth of an ordinary student in order to open up the way and dispel the worries of the people in the world. ”

Only then did Su Jin understand why so many days had passed since this student's case, and the imperial court had not expressed the slightest word, nor had he seen King Tang Jieteng receive any punishment and reprimand, it turned out that these two guys had shamelessly reported this matter as auspicious; And to put it bluntly, the court that squeezed them can't be punished, there is really no most shameless, only more shameless, Su Jin admires them a little.

Yan Shu continued: "Moreover, the Xiangrui excerpts of the subordinate officials of Tianfu are of the same caliber, as if they were carved out of a mold, although this move makes it impossible for the imperial court to punish them, but it also exposes the essence of this group of people advancing and retreating together and making an offensive and defensive alliance. ”

Li Gang said: "It's very cunning, that Tang Jie is an old fox, I have been caught by me several times, and in the end, he didn't know how to retract his confession and escape." ”

Yan Shu smiled and said, "Master Li, you are playing with him, I'm afraid you are not an opponent." ”

Li Gang gritted his teeth and said, "My lord, how will you act this time?" ”

Yan Shu said: "The saint has given a decree to Zhao Zongdan and Tang Jie, and one of the purposes of the old man's coming here is to announce the decree. ”

Li Gang said movingly: "After talking for a long time, does the saint still want to do it?" What sin? ”

Yan Shu laughed, shook his head slightly, and said: "Not only is it not a crime, but it is a promotion, and now Tang Jie can make a lot of money." ”

Li Gang and Su Jin suddenly opened their mouths and were stunned on the spot.
