The next morning, Su Jin simply dealt with some trivial government affairs, and then sat in the hall in a daze, he wanted to go out for a walk, but he was afraid of seeing the appearance of the colorless people in the city, he was afraid that he couldn't help but mess up, so as to make all the achievements that he covered up last night fall short.

Su Jin is also waiting for Li Zhihe's arrival, if Li Zhihe doesn't arrive today, it means that all the words and deeds last night have been seen through by them, if that's the case, there is nothing to say, hurry up and find a way to save your life and get out of Weizhou, staying here is to make yourself uncomfortable.

Until three o'clock, the sun had already baked the yamen hall, and the officials in the hall kept changing their center of gravity, secretly wondering why the prefect did not retreat from the hall to rest, and everyone suffered.

Su Jin was disappointed, it seemed that Li Zhi and them were not so easy to fool, in desperation, Su Jin raised his arm, waved his hand and said weakly: "Retreat, you have worked hard." ”

All the yamen chiefs breathed a sigh of relief, and they all bowed and were about to retreat, when suddenly the sound of horses' hooves outside the yamen sounded, and several horses galloped to the yamen from the square with a hot wind, Su Jin looked up and looked carefully, and suddenly his heart was overjoyed: It's coming, it's still coming.

The person who came was Li Zhihe, who discussed with Xu Wei for half a night last night, and finally couldn't rest assured, although Su Jin said that the sky was falling, but with his words, how could Li Zhihe and Xu Wei believe him; But if what Su Jin said is true, if he and others offend this scoundrel out of thin air, he may cause a lot of trouble, and if this person is really the son-in-law of the Yan family, Yan Shu, and he does not hesitate to play favoritism for him, then it seems that it is not safe to kill him by killing people with a knife in the name of the Xixia people, and if there is a perfect strategy that does not offend Su Jin and Yan Shu and can keep the secrets of himself and others, it is the best choice.

The two discussed for a long time and had no clue, and after hesitating, Xu Wei suddenly remembered that Li Miao had just returned from going to the capital on an errand last month, this person and Xu Wei were Jinshi in the same year, and the relationship was quite good. Since he just came back from going to the capital, since this Su Jin is the champion and married Yan Shu's niece as his wife, the movement is so big, and Li Miao is an inquisitive person, how can he not know his details?

Li Zhihe was overjoyed, and immediately asked Xu Wei to arrange someone to go to Jingzhou to find out the news, and be sure to find out the details of this Su Jin.

Xu Wei originally planned to send someone to visit Li Miao, but when he thought that this matter was important, he was really not at ease when others went, so he went to Jingzhou to visit Li Miao overnight, fortunately, the distance between the two cities was less than 100 miles, and it was possible to go back and forth for half a day if he rode a horse non-stop.

Even so, Xu Wei went back and forth overnight, but he didn't rush back until the next day, the whole person was so tired that he was about to collapse, he was originally a white and fat dough-like figure, and he lost weight after a night of bumps and runs, and his face was gray and full of dust, and the whole person looked sluggish.

However, the news brought back was very shocking, this Su Jin is not just the champion of the Yuanlang, the Yan family's fast son-in-law is as simple as that, Li Miao is a person who likes to drill camps, he went to the capital to do office business, and the second is to visit the deputy prime minister Zhang Dexiang, the specialty game in the northwest brought a large cart to Zhang Dexiang Mansion and stayed in Zhang Mansion for a whole day, during which Zhang Dexiang naturally talked to him about everything, and when it came to the recent major events in the capital, when the political star was born, the topic naturally inevitably mentioned this Su Jin.

According to Li Miao, this Su Jin is indeed the new champion of this year's department, and his behavior is unreasonable, he actually married the widow of the Yan family who beat him five years old, which made the world dumbfounded, and this person was deeply respected by the emperor when he did not participate in the imperial examination, and he was directly awarded the title of special envoy for grain affairs as a student of Tianfu, and gave him a gold medal to lead the grain affairs alone.

Li Miao also told Xu Wei that this Su Jin also served as an envoy to negotiate with the Liao people together with Fu Bi, and made the fierce Liao envoy return with a skillful defeat, what kind of silver village did this guy open, even the emperor went to send a plaque, Lu Xiangdu, Shumi and others also had to send gifts to congratulate, and Zhang Dexiang naturally had to send people to send gifts to congratulate.

As soon as Xu Wei's words came out, Li Zhihe was stunned, he didn't expect this scoundrel to have such a big background, and the seemingly harmless guy he was facing turned out to be a man of the hour.

But what was even more shocking was not these, Xu Wei suddenly jumped up from the state of slumping in the chair, looked around to see before closing the door and returning to his position, and whispered in Li Zhihe's ear: "Li Jianjun, I heard Li Miao tell me in private, this Su Jin seems to have a holiday with Xia Shuai, and the festival is not small. ”

Li Zhihe said: "Which Xia Shuai?" ”

Xu Wei glanced at him and said, "Which one else?" Just transferred to the capital for a few months, Xia Zhu, who was originally the envoy of the Northwest Fourth Road, is now the deputy privy envoy. ”

Li Zhihe was stunned and said, "Lord Xia? Su Jin had a holiday with Lord Xia? Isn't that looking for death? ”

Xu Wei whispered: "Who didn't say it, but in fact, it taught you to be surprised, of course, these things are circulated in private, and there is no evidence at all, Zhang Xiang also warned Li Miao not to talk nonsense, just know." ”

Li Zhihe frowned and said, "When is it, you still plan to hide from me?" ”

Xu Wei said: "That's not it, it's just that this matter is too sensational, you and I can only listen to it but not pass it on, this Su Jin somehow hooked up with Lord Xia's beloved daughter, and Lord Xia naturally couldn't tolerate his only daughter being toyed with, so he designed to kill him." ”

Li Zhihe chuckled and said: "Xia Shuai is a character who kills people without blinking, peeing on his head, isn't it that he can't die anymore." But he suddenly felt that something was wrong, and quickly put away his smile, in fact, this Su Jin is not alive and well, and he has won the champion and has a good life, which shows that Xia Zhu has not moved him at all.

Xu Wei didn't pay attention to Li Zhihe's face, and said to himself: "This kid didn't know how to escape, and then he began to take revenge on Xia Shuai, not long after Xia Shuai designed to trap Su Jin, Xia Shuai's only nephew Liu Binhua was found dead in the peach forest by the Bianhe River. ”

Li Zhihe was shocked: "Could it be Su Jindong's hand?" ”

Xu Wei pointed to his lips and said softly, "Lord Prison Army, don't be so loud, okay?" Liu Binhua hanged himself from a peach tree, but this Liu Gongzi is Lord Xia's own nephew, Lord Xia is very tolerant and loving to him, and he is served by servants like clouds every day, so there is no reason to commit suicide. ”

Li Zhihe frowned and said, "Yes, how can you commit suicide." ”

Xu Wei whispered: "The rumors in private say that Su Jindong was the hand to avenge Lord Xia for booby-trapping him that night. ”

Li Zhihe took a breath and said, "This kid is really bold, even if there is no evidence, how can Lord Xia spare him." ”

Xu Wei said: "Yes, Xia Shuai must have launched a means of revenge, but I haven't heard that Su Jin suffered any losses, but he was almost stabbed to death on the day of the Dragon Boat Festival, but it was a bloody case in the Xia family's house, first Lord Xia's Yuzhang Mansion was slaughtered, and then not long ago, the old house of the Xia family's sock lane was washed in blood, and the two slaughters of the Xia Mansion guards killed sixty or seventy people, which became the number one case in the capital, and even the emperor was alarmed. ”

Li Zhihe said in a trembling voice: "This ...... This is all done by Su Jin? ”

Xu Wei sighed and said, "I don't know, but I say it's him in private." ”

Li Zhihe sat down on the chair and muttered, "Let's look down on this guy, it seems that we are in big trouble." ”

Xu Wei thought for a while and said: "This Su Jin behaved a little abnormally last night, but I thought about it on the way, this guy doesn't seem to be a law-abiding person, maybe we can have a relationship with him, maybe he will be our future lifesaver." ”

Li Zhihe looked at him and said, "How do you know that he didn't come to get us?" No wonder he said last night that he had heard about us, and that he knew the secrets of the closing of the door after he had done the food work. ”

Xu Wei nodded and said, "That's right, but if he came to get us, why bother telling us that he knew what we were doing, wasn't he afraid that we would take risks?" You must know that the 500 horse army he brought with him is not enough to protect his safety. ”

Li Zhihe sneered: "Is this called being a master of art? This kid is despising us. ”

Xu Wei shook his head and said: "Xiaguan doesn't see it that way, I think he temporarily noticed the clues in the city, not only him, anyone who comes to Weizhou City can find clues as long as they pay a little attention, but most people won't say it, but this Su Jin is directly using this as a threat." ”

Li Zhihe said: "In your opinion, should we accept him?" ”

Xu Wei shook his head and said: "Definitely, this guy doesn't seem to be a fuel-efficient lamp, until we can't figure out his true thoughts, we must not tell the truth." ”

Li Zhihe said: "How can it be done, our military salary is all in the hands of this person, what should he do if he is in a hurry and doesn't take out a penny?" The officials are fine, and the soldiers are about to rebel. ”

Xu Wei said: "For today's plan, I can only pull him into the gang first, but I can't let him know the details, a large amount of money and silver will be sent every month, if he is just for money, he will naturally not make trouble again, if he has other plans, he will naturally be exposed; In short, after figuring out his intentions, we can have corresponding countermeasures, we must not regard him as an ordinary corrupt official who loves money, Lord Xia is choked by him, how can we compare with Lord Xia? ”

Li Zhihe sighed and said, "What you said is very true, if he really came to deal with us, what do you say?" ”

Xu Wei was silent, looked at Li Zhihe and said slowly: "The lower official is only the master of the army. ”

Li Zhihe squeezed out a few words from between his teeth and said: "Okay, burn your eyebrows and take care of the moment, even if he has a big backer, if this trip is specifically to get our heads, can we stretch our necks and let him cut it?" When the time comes, don't do anything, don't stop except for this person, take one step at a time, and talk about it later. ”
