Although Ouyang Xiu understood this, with his experience and old age, he naturally would not refute Su Jin face to face, and his attention was suddenly attracted by Su Jin's words; As a royal historian, the sensitivity of his profession made him alert to the unusualness of that sentence.

"Envoy Su, your feelings are very understandable, and I also have deep sympathy for this; However, the envoy does not need to be so excited, the clear is self-purifying, and the best way to respond to the false accusation is to clarify the facts and bring the rumor-mongers and slanderers to justice, which is the only way to deal with it positively, rather than giving up on oneself and playing with children's temper; Judging by the things that the envoy has done, the envoy must not be such a stingy person; How could a person who cares about gains and losses break into the bandits' den alone and capture the bandits of Bagong Mountain? ”

Ouyang Xiu unhurriedly lifted Su Jin up the steps, and put on his top hat by the way: "The deeds of the envoy have now been spread in the capital as a beautiful talk, and when you return to Beijing on the next trip, you can go to the teahouse and song shop to listen to it, the matter of the envoy to exterminate the bandits has become a joke in the mouth of the storyteller, and it has become the lyrics in the mouths of the singers, and this glory is not enjoyed by Fan Gong and Han Xianggong in the northwest; However, if you really go to inquire, the official advises you to dress up in disguise, you need to know that it is rumored that the envoy in the capital is not only courageous but also has a beautiful face, and is a beautiful young man, how many boudoir women in the official eunuch's house want to see the honor of the envoy, if you don't disguise yourself, it is estimated that the streets and alleys of the east and west will be crowded. ”

Su Jin couldn't help laughing, and laughed, this Ouyang old man can really speak in the vernacular, he actually said it so exaggeratedly, it has only been a few days since the news spread? How could this be the case?

However, Su Jin also understood that this was Ouyang Xiu's gesture of goodwill, and when he lost his temper, Lord Qincha not only did not get angry, but also put on a high hat for himself, which was already very revealing; In fact, Su Jin didn't want to have a bad relationship with this Ouyang Zhongcheng; After he knew Ouyang Xiu's intention, this was to give Ouyang Xiu an attitude, that is, I Su Jin is not easy to mess with, don't think I'm a soft persimmon, just pinch it, be polite to me, otherwise Lao Tzu will pick a child.

If the emperor's edict is completely wronged himself, it is just that, but the fake transmission of the holy decree is true, and since someone is playing, it means that there must be a handle in the hands of people, so Su Jin did not dare to make a fuss, after all, he has a tail, and he may be caught by this person in the future, so he still accepts it when he sees it, and accepts this high hat with a smile.

"Lord Ouyang's false praise, how can it be so exaggerated, this ...... The subordinate official spoke inappropriately, and if he was offended, please forgive him; Xia Guan just couldn't hold back his nausea, so he let out a lot of nonsense. ”

Song Zhen blinked his eyes, this kid is simply a chameleon, stretching and contracting, just now he was still bruised, yelling excitedly, and instantly admitted his mistake in a low voice, more and more he felt that this person was elusive, his face was simply worthless, and he had to cherish his life and stay away from this person in the future.

Song Zhen is a fool, the face in the officialdom is not what he wants, it is all given by others, the sedan chair carries people, Su Jin's move is to see through these tricks, Ouyang Xiu understands, Su Jin understands, and even most people who are officials understand, but Song Zhen doesn't understand; This is why other people's officials are getting bigger and bigger, and his officials are getting smaller and smaller, if Su Jin hadn't come to help him this time, after the Yangzhou incident, he would have been demoted to a small county to be a county magistrate.

"It's easy to say...... Hahaha. Ouyang Xiu was very satisfied with Su Jin's performance, this person is so young, why is he like an old fritter in the officialdom, but he quickly figured it out, it seems that Lord Sansi has not been less face-to-face, under the ear of Lord Sansi, an old fox, it is strange that this person is not a little fox.

The three people sat down in the hall, Song Zhen ordered tea, and ordered to prepare wine and food, and after a while, he sat down, Ouyang Xiu drank a few sips of tea, and then took out Yan Shu's letter from his sleeve and handed it to Su Jin, and asked at the same time: "What did Su Zhicai's words say about the greed of Yangzhou officials. The rot was dug up, what is going on? ”

Su Jin secretly picked his finger, Ouyang Xiu's cultivation and sense of smell were not covered, he deliberately leaked his mouth to tell the matter, just waiting for Ouyang Xiu's question, Ouyang Xiu didn't ask just now, until Su Jin was a little disappointed, until Ouyang Xiu was asking at this time, the choice of timing was naturally excellent; The attitude of the two sides gradually calmed down, from the smell of gunpowder to the courtesy, at this time he handed over Yan Shu's letter to himself, and then asked about it seemingly casually, of course he could not fail to answer.

Su Jin then told Ouyang Xiu the original story of Feng Laohu's case, Ouyang Xiu's face was angry and happy, and his eyes kept glancing at Song Zhen, as if he was wondering, there was such a big thing under his hands, why did Song Zhen take office for nearly three years but didn't know anything, let this tumor grow bigger and bigger.

At the same time, Ouyang Xiu also looked at Su Jin from a little contempt to a different look; Such a thing seems to be a coincidence, it seems that Su Jin inadvertently set off this big case, but why is there a lot of traffic between Beijing officials in Yangzhou, but no one can notice it? What's even more ridiculous is that the annual audit of the Ministry of Officials is actually excellent, and the city of Yangzhou has been chaotic to the point that the people are not living, but they are not aware of it?

If these people are all mediocre people, it is naturally not right, the real reason is that these people are very hidden and secretive, but Su Jin can detect the problem in just a few days, in addition to good luck, this sense of smell is also extraordinary; This person has the potential to become an official in the Imperial History Terrace, Ouyang Xiu suddenly found that he had some feelings of sympathy for Su Jin, in terms of keen sense of smell, Su Jin is very similar to himself.

It's a pity that the good material and beautiful jade were woven under the door by Yan Shu, the old fox, one step ahead, and he is also someone else's wife, Ouyang Xiu's heart suddenly appeared two lines of poetry: "When you hate to meet and are not married, you will return Jun Mingzhu to tears." ”

"Lord Ouyang, Lord Ouyang?" Su Jin saw that Ouyang Xiu was a little distracted, and called softly twice.

"Hmm...... Listen, Envoy Su, this time you have made a great contribution, you can dig out these tumors in one fell swoop, Yangzhou Mansion will be stable in the future, the emperor has often mentioned the matter of the rule of officials to the official recently, and the emperor has long said that although the world is peaceful, it also whitewashes many drawbacks, but I am afraid that there is an undercurrent hidden under this calm, and I am really worried. Now the Soviet envoy can eliminate corruption in Yangzhou. Corrupt official, this also proves the wisdom of the saint, and it is not unreasonable to worry. ”

Su Jin said with a smile: "I didn't think about it, I have long read Song Zijing's theory of 'three redundancies and three fees', and I am also a businessman, and I also know some collusions between officials and businessmen." But to be honest, if it weren't for this Feng Laohu obstructing my food affairs, the lower officials would not have touched his tiger's buttocks; Although so many moths were dug up this time, the price was not small, there were many casualties among the soldiers of the forbidden army, and Feng's minions resisted stubbornly, and he had to open a killing ring, but he was also a little panicked. ”

Ouyang Xiu said: "That's nothing to be afraid of, the government is clean and clean is comparable to a battlefield fight, if you want to be safe and stable, you can clean up, that's a fool's dream, but you said that the food has not been found yet, which is worrying." ”

Su Jin said: "I already have eyebrows, but I can't spare the energy to investigate, since the adults come, I can also transfer this case to the adults for trial, I will complete the food affairs wholeheartedly, and I will definitely recover the food soon." ”

Ouyang Xiu laughed, and said in his heart: This kid has too many flowery intestines, and you don't know your purpose as an official? Isn't it just that you want to put this big case on the official, so that the official has no time to investigate your affairs? However, although this official has insight into your intentions, he is willing to accept it, this case is much bigger than yours, I want to follow the vine and touch the melon, and blow the wind of rectification throughout the Song Dynasty, maybe the opportunity brought by this matter will be unspeakable.

Su Jin saw that Ouyang Xiu agreed to accept it, and put down a big stone in his heart, since it was inevitable that the court would review it, it was better to let Ouyang Xiu try the case in Yangzhou, so that he would have more room for maneuver, mainly because these officials would definitely say about the military rations, and escort them to the capital to say it compared with saying it in Yangzhou, obviously the latter is more convenient to control the situation; Now the Yangzhou government basically has the final say, and when the time comes, the two sides will confront each other, and then find some people to make false testimony to prevaricate, maybe they will be able to fool the past.

As soon as he thought of this matter, he would inevitably be exposed, and the big stone that fell from Su Jin's heart suddenly hung again; How can I find out this Ouyang Xiu's hole card and know what kind of person he is, it is best to design a trap to invite Jun into the urn, get his handle, and things will be easy to do.

Everyone was talking and laughing, and Ouyang Xiu never dreamed that Su Jin on the other side was actually having his own dirty idea in his heart.
