Ouyang Xiu listened carefully to Yan Biyun's words, he understood that the Miss Yan in front of him had been completely overwhelmed by Su Jin, and there was even a trace of worship for Su Jin in her words. Such a woman is so infatuated with Su Jin, which just shows that Su Jin is not a mediocre person.

Ouyang Xiu said tentatively: "Virtuous niece, although his words are good, but after all, he has violated the law of the country; The reason why the imperial court made the law was to maintain the long-term peace and stability of the Great Song Dynasty, and the prince was guilty of the same crime as the common people, although Su Jin's starting point was good, but he must not ignore the national law and not obey it, and he must be punished. ”

Yan Biyun blessed a blessing and said: "Lord Zhongcheng, how can the slave family not know this, the state has national laws and family rules, since Su Gongzi has violated the national law, the adult will deal with it according to the law, and Su Gongzi will never deny it." ”

Ouyang Xiu didn't expect Yan Biyun to have this attitude, and said in a deep voice: "Special Envoy Su didn't deny it, he personally agreed to this matter, so this official actually came to take him to Beijing today." ”

Yan Biyun said: "It should be like this, there is nothing wrong with what adults do. ”

Ouyang Xiu looked at Yan Biyun's calm and waveless face, and said in his heart: Sure enough, people say that a woman's heart is elusive, no one can fathom, just now she was affectionate, but at this moment the lover suffered a catastrophe but didn't think so, it seems that the woman's words can't be trusted, and she really feels worthless for Su Jin.

I only heard Yan Biyun say softly: "The slave family has a request, I hope Lord Zhongcheng can agree." ”

Ouyang Xiu's voice was indifferent and said in a deep voice: "But it doesn't hurt to say it. ”

Yan Biyun sighed, turned her head to look at Su Jin, who was chewing on the case, and lowered her voice and said, "The slave family wants to ask the adult to help me bring a message to my uncle." ”

Ouyang Xiu said: "It's the New Year's Festival, won't the virtuous niece be in the capital?" This time, I happened to go back to the capital with the official car, and I also had a care on the road, wouldn't it be good? ”

Yan Biyun smiled miserably and said, "If the slave family doesn't go back, the slave family can't go back." ”

Ouyang Xiu was stunned for a moment and asked, "Why is this?" ”

Yan Biyun lowered his head and said: "Don't ask, just ask the adult to help the slave family bring a message." ”

Ouyang Xiu didn't want to ask again, nodded and said, "What kind of message do you bring?" ”

Yan Biyun looked up at the people on the road outside the window, neighing and barking, and said softly: "I said that Biyun girl asked my uncle to say goodbye, and wished my uncle a hundred years of good health and longevity, and said that the slave family thanked him for the kindness of his old man for more than 20 years, and there may be nothing to repay in this life, if there is an afterlife, he will repay his old man a thousand times." ”

Ouyang Xiu was taken aback, how could he not hear this, as if he was saying goodbye, he couldn't help frowning and said, "What is this kind of niece Xian?" What is this life and the next life, isn't this bluffing the three divisions? ”

Yan Biyun bowed down and said, "Don't ask, don't ask, just help me bring a message." ”

Ouyang Xiu said: "This can't be done, such a few brainless words, if the Lord of the Third Division asks the official about the specific situation, how can the official answer?" ”

Yan Biyun sighed and said, "Do you really want to listen?" ”

Ouyang Xiu said: "That's still false, if you don't say this, I won't be able to bring it to Lord Sansi." ”

Yan Biyun said: "My lord, is there still a way for Su Gongzi to survive when he is taken to the capital this time?" ”

Ouyang Xiu said: "This is a serious crime, and the worst punishment is to be regarded as an accomplice against the Nine Clans, and the lightest punishment is also his personal head, but if he can not implicate his family, then it can be regarded as the emperor's grace." ”

Yan Biyun said with a white face: "In other words...... Su Gongzi must be unlucky? ”

Ouyang Xiu twisted his beard and said: "I'm afraid that's the case, although the emperor is a benevolent lord, I'm afraid he won't spare his life, after all, the law is there, what's the use of the law not being followed?" If Su Jin is not killed, everyone will follow suit, wouldn't it be a great chaos in the world. ”

Yan Biyun said: "The slave family also thinks so, how could they break the law of the Great Song Dynasty for Su Gongzi alone, so the slave family also decided, since Su Gongzi could not escape death, how could the slave family live here alone, Su Gongzi has a deep affection for the slave family, and the slave family has nothing to repay, so he can only die with him, and it is good to guide Su Gongzi with a lantern on Huangquan Road, so as not to make Gongzi lonely and helpless." ”

Yan Biyun's words were indifferent, as if he was not talking about his life and death, there was a sense of determination in the calm, listening to it made people's scalps numb and their bodies cold.

Ouyang Xiuda exclaimed, "What? How can you do that? ”

The voice was so loud that Su Jin, who was startled in the corner of the house, and the entourage outside the door looked sideways, Ouyang Xiu felt out of shape, waved his hand to signal that it was okay, and turned his head to Yan Biyun and said, "Virtuous niece, how can you be like this?" How can a good old man be ruined because of this? This...... That's nonsense, isn't it? ”

Yan Biyun said: "Don't persuade the slave family, the slave family has made up its mind, and the slave family also knows that this is an unfilial act, but isn't it unjust to Su Gongzi otherwise?" Filial piety is difficult for the slave family to think about, and the Yan family still has brothers and sisters who can do their filial piety in front of Biyun in front of their uncle, so they can only ask them to do filial piety on their behalf and die for the righteousness of the son of the whole Su. ”

Ouyang Xiu waved his hand again and again: "It's not appropriate, what is this; You and Su Jin don't have a marriage contract, how can you talk about the righteousness of husband and wife? For the sake of a Su Jin, you don't care about your own life, and you will make the Sansi Lord sad, how can you live with peace of mind in the future? The outside world knows that Lord Sansi treats you as if you were his own child, and even treats his own children as well as you are not as good as you, don't you teach him to be disappointed? How can you be so ruthless? ”

Yan Biyunzhu burst into tears and whispered: "What the lord said is, but how could the slave family let down Su Gongzi, if it weren't for the slave family, Su Gongzi would never take over this grain matter, if he suffered, wouldn't it be equivalent to the slave family killing him?" Not to mention that the slave family has already made an oath to live and die with him, that is, without an oath, can the slave family live with peace of mind? Money and debts are easy to repay, but love debts are difficult to repay; This debt will be pressed on the heart of the slave family like a mountain, and the slave family will never have another day to show his face, so why didn't the slave family go with him; If you were an adult, would you be able to live in peace because someone died for you? ”

Ouyang Xiu was speechless for a moment, but just rubbed his hands and said, "No, no, how can it be so?" ”

Yan Biyun took out a silk handkerchief to wipe away her tears, raised her head and said: "Well, since the adult is unwilling to send a message for the slave family, the slave family will send someone to send the letter to it. ”

Ouyang Xiu stomped his feet and rubbed his hands, not knowing what to do for a while; This woman is so chaste and willing to die for Su Jin, which is really admirable; If there was such a woman in the people, Ouyang Xiu would definitely be moved by it, and generously wrote an article to praise it; But this is the daughter of the Yan family, the pearl of Yan Shu's palm.

Although she was martyred voluntarily, the cause of the matter was always due to her finding out that Su Jin had used military rations without permission. In addition to the dozen or so officials in custody, the number of people who know about this matter will not exceed one slap in the face, and these people are all involved in this matter, and they are all guilty of being held accountable.

If this woman dies of martyrdom, needless to say that Yan Shu will calculate this account on his head, and from then on he will have to clamp his tail tightly, once he is not careful, Yan Shu will not hesitate to step himself into the quagmire, and will lift a few boulders and smash them down; On such a day, Ouyang Xiu couldn't imagine it.

Or simply take Yan Biyun down and hand it over to Yan Shu? Ouyang Xiu hurriedly denied his crazy idea, how can people look for death and live, not to mention that it is a crime to tie up the daughter of the Yan family for no reason, if outsiders don't know, they should still think of it when they see it, do they tell others: This woman is about to commit suicide, and the official is protecting her; As soon as this sentence was spoken, the keeper was thrown rotten eggs and rotten vegetable leaves.

Or pretend you don't know? Ouyang Xiu once again denied his thoughts, and if he didn't report it, it would be regarded as dereliction of duty and cover-up, once the matter was known to the court, the emperor would not spare him, not to mention anything else, those colleagues in the court who looked at him unpleasantly would be stared at like bloodsucking flies, and he would lose his official position or even lose his life due to dereliction of duty and concealment. Moreover, sooner or later, these officials will have to be deported to Beijing for trial, so how can this matter be concealed?

Zuo is not, and it is not, Ouyang Xiu hurriedly smashed his palm, and he didn't even notice Yan Biyun's farewell salute, just frowning and pacing back and forth, trying to find a way to get the best of both worlds.

Su Jin stuffed the last piece of bread into his mouth, chewed and swallowed it, got up and walked over.

Yan Biyun's mourning and crying, Ouyang Xiu's panic, all this came into his eyes.

Su Jin blamed himself a little, Yan Biyun was not the kind of person who told lies, he didn't know what story he made up in front of Ouyang Xiu just for himself, he must have been extremely aggrieved in his heart, and he seemed to be using Yan Biyun's identity; But Su Jin was also very helpless, if it weren't for the tricky things, he wouldn't have to rely on Yan Biyun to show up to turn the situation around.

Having said that, Su Jin only needs Yan Biyun to show his face, let Ouyang Xiu know that the relationship between the two is not shallow, and let Ouyang Xiu consider taking his own consequences, as long as Ouyang Xiu is hesitant, Su Jin can make a second step and make a deal with Ouyang Xiu.

But Yan Biyun actually cried, this was something Su Jin didn't expect, in Su Jin's memory, Yan Biyun only cried once when he reunited with him in Ying Tianfu, and the rest of the time was a quiet and quiet look, could it be that Yan Biyun has been with him for a long time, and her acting skills have also improved?
