Song Zhen splashed ink, picked up the pen and wrote down the three characters of Shouyilou, carefully changed the small pen inscription, stamped his own calligraphy special engraved with the word 'Bo Zhen' private seal, put down the brush while wiping his hands while tilting his head to look at the handwriting of the ink, and asked with a smile: "Su special envoy look, can you still make it?" ”

Su Jin saw that the handwriting was upright, the pattern was decent, and the words were quite stylish, and he praised from the bottom of his heart: "Song Fuzun is really a good calligraphy, no wonder so many people are eager to be proud of the calligraphy of Lord Fuzun." ”

Song Zhen stroked his beard and said with a smile: "A person who reads, poetry and books are in the middle, words are in the form, and the outside of the form is indispensable, otherwise how can he be regarded as a serious reader." ”

Su Jin smiled and said, "I'm ashamed, it's useless in the next place." ”

Song Zhen said: "You are different, you have not yet entered the office, and you are not a serious scholar; However, this is just the words of the old man's family, and the envoy Su has already heard of it, and he wants to discuss it with the envoy if he has a little leisure in the future. ”

Su Jin looked at his smug appearance and said in his heart: Is the reader amazing? Look at your virtue, you don't know it when you're blinded, and you're still complacent, look at Lao Tzu stepping on your cowhide, see if you're still happy?

The ink was dry and it took tea time, Su Jin walked over and sent away the little guy who was waiting at the door of the study, closed the door of the study and walked in front of Song Zhen.

Song Zhen was a little puzzled, this kid was sneaky and didn't know what to say.

"Lord Fuzun, I don't know whether to talk about a big matter here." Su Jin hesitated.

Song Zhen said: "If the envoy Su has something to say, when did he become so reserved." ”

"It's not that I'm reserved, I'm just afraid that speaking out will ruin the good interest of Lord Fuzun, so I'm just a little hesitant."

"But it doesn't hurt to say that it's okay to search for grain? This matter is not easy, but in this matter this government really can't help you much, if you want to find someone familiar with the situation, this government ordered someone to call Yangzhou Changping Si Fan to listen to your deployment and inquiry."

Su Jin smiled: "This is not busy, what I want to say is one thing about the reputation of Lord Fuzun, and I only learned it today, it is really like a fish in the throat and not vomiting unpleasantly." ”

Song Zhen was surprised: "About me? The government has always been clean and self-conscious, what will be the reputation of the house? ”

Su Jin said: "I will say it for the adult, and if there is no change, I will be encouraged, but I ask the adult to seek truth from facts, because this is really related to the reputation of the adult, so I have to be cautious." ”

Song Zhen saw the solemnity of what Su Jin said, nodded and said, "Don't sell Guanzi to the envoy, but just say it." ”

Su Jin said: "I asked the adult for words, and the adult once said that the judge Guo had inscribed a pair of words of 'Fuguilou', right?" Have you ever inscribed the same word for someone else? ”

Song Zhen said: "Although the old man is not very proficient in the way of calligraphy, and the ink characters are difficult to compare with everyone, but it is also a broom self-cherishing, and other idlers are not allowed to ask me for inscriptions. It is the envoy, and the government is also grateful because of the Su envoy to relieve my Yangzhou difficulties, so he agreed. ”

Su Jin nodded and said: "Thank you Song Fuzun for giving me below, but I saw the 'Fugui Building' plaque inscribed by the adult on a private pavilion in Yangzhou, how can this be explained?" ”

Song Zhen was surprised: "Private pavilion? Yangzhou Mansion? ”

Su Jin smiled and nodded.

"It is absolutely impossible, how can I not know that the inscription of this house is the private residence of one of his relatives, and his house is far away in the Daimyo's mansion, how can there be a second one in Yangzhou."

Su Jin said: "But I saw it with my own eyes, and the owner of the house also said that it was a plaque given by Lord Fuzun, which is strange." ”

Song Zhen said: "Whose house? Don't you know the inscription of the house itself? ”

"The owner of the house is Feng Jingyao Feng, who is kind and charitable, paving the way and building bridges for the benefit of Yangzhou, this time the adults should think about it."

Song Zhen looked confused, frowned and said: "I have never had a relationship with him, Feng Jingyao asked someone to invite me a few times, but I don't like to make friends with big businessmen, they all refused, Feng Jingyao also prepared gifts to me during the New Year's Festival, but how can this government ask for his gifts, and return them one by one, and have never had a deep friendship with him, how can I say that the inscription is a gift?" ”

Su Jin carefully observed Song Zhen's face, trying to find evidence of Song Zhen's lying from his demeanor, but Song Zhen's expression was innocent, as if he was really puzzled, and his heart was even more firm in his judgment, this Song prefect was afraid that he would be used.

"It's strange that this is not true, Song Fuzun inscribed the plaque of 'Fugui Building' to the general judgment of Lord Guo, and there is no second time, how did this plaque run to the lintel of Feng Jingyao's private house? Could it be that Feng Jingyao is Lord Guo's relative? Is this a prayer for him? ”

"It's impossible, Lord Guo is a native of Huazhou, Lingnan, and Feng Jingyao is said to be a native of Xijing, the two places are thousands of miles apart, how can they become relatives? Moreover, when this government was appointed as the prefect of Yangzhou, Feng Jingyao had already settled in Yangzhou for more than ten years, and Lord Guo was transferred from the county and county commanders of Huazhou Prefecture to be my colleague, and the two had never met before, so it was impossible for them to be relatives. ”

"That's ......" Su Jin pretended to think about it: "Is it possible that Guo Tongju privately transferred the words you gave to Feng Jingyao?" Maybe the relationship between the two of them is very good, and Feng Jingyao can't get up to you, the prefect, so he uses this hand to fill his face and let everyone know that he has a personal relationship with the prefect? ”

"This ...... How can there be any reason to transfer the plaque to others, and what is the use of Feng Jingyao hanging this plaque? The government has no selfish friendship with him, and even if this plaque is hung, it will not change this fact. ”

Su Jin sighed: "Don't you know that there is a saying called 'pulling the tiger skin to make a banner'? If a Yangzhou official sees an adult's inscription, what will he think? Lord Fuzun is indeed a personal friend with this person, but others don't know the truth; At least as far as I am concerned, when I saw this plaque at a glance, my first reaction was: Lord Fuzun and this Feng Jingyao are very close, so that if Feng Jingyao makes any small request to the envoy, the envoy will not refuse it in the face of Lord Fuzun and his personal relationship; To put it bluntly, this is using the prestige of an adult to show face to himself. ”

Song Zhen frowned and said, "However, this mansion really didn't give him an inscription?" This Feng Jingyao is too outrageous to do. ”

Su Jin leaned into Song Zhen's ear and whispered: "This is the crux of the matter, how much do you know about this Master Feng?" Do you know what he's done? Do you know Feng Jingyao's reputation among the people? ”

Song Zhen shook his head blankly and said, "How can this mansion know so thoroughly about an irrelevant person. ”

Su Jin said: "This is the negligence of the adults, you said that Feng Jingyao is kind and charitable, and shares the worries of the government, this person has a head and face in Yangzhou, and he seems to be such a leading figure under the rule, as the prefect, he should pay more attention to it, but the lord of the mansion does not understand it at all, which is a bit outrageous." ”

Song Zhen said anxiously: "This government doesn't treat him as a leading figure in his heart, he, like everyone else, is the people under my Yangzhou rule, and hundreds of thousands of people under Yangzhou rule, can I still find out one by one?" ”

Su Jin was completely speechless at him, this fool is simply unreasonable, his logic is actually good, but it is too dogmatic, as a parent official, how can the people under his rule be treated equally, how can there be people with faces in Yangzhou City who are not sorted and classified, and treat them equally That is, can you treat lions and white rabbits equally? The little white rabbit will be at your disposal. Play with it, but the lion will swallow you before your hand touches him.

Su Jin sneered: "Lord Fuzun, I might as well make it clear to you that this envoy has caught the evidence of Feng Jingyao's collusion to corrupt Yangzhou officials, although it is not perfect, but it has already begun to take shape; Besides, I also have a testimony that Feng Jingyao was involved in the grain storage, and the envoy was just afraid that this matter would affect the Lord Fuzun, so he talked to the Lord with him; If Song Fuzun thinks that I Su Jin is troublesome, then I haven't said it. ”

Song Zhen stared at Su Jin and said hesitantly, "You mean...... My Yangzhou officials colluded with Feng Jingyao to stock grain for profit? ”

Su Jindao: "I don't dare to say whether they colluded to make profits, there is still a lack of evidence, but under the rule of your Song Fuzun, it is a matter of official corruption being controlled by Feng Jingyao." ”

Song Zhen slapped the table and shouted: "Special Envoy Su, you have to talk about evidence, you can't talk nonsense." ”

Su Jin slapped the table twice and shouted: "Wake up, Song Fuzun, don't have your dream of ruling Qingping, your Yangzhou Mansion is full of holes, most of your subordinate officials have been controlled by Feng Jingyao, Feng Jingyao's private grain is more than 1 million stones, these things are still in the dark, your inscription is hanging high in Feng Jingyao's private house, the matter is troublesome, you can protect yourself Ming Zhe Su Jin wrote his name upside down!" ”
