Su Jin went up to the second floor of the backhall inn unkemptly, Xiao Xian'er behind him covered her mouth and laughed non-stop when she looked at him, Su Jin was angry by her laughter, and pressed her on the handrail of the stairs and kissed her, which frightened Xiao Xian'er's appearance was discolored, and she hurriedly covered her mouth and pointed upstairs, Su Jin sat with a vicious expression of wiping her neck, and Xiao Xian'er stuck out her tongue and put away her smile.

"Is it Xian'er? Was Su Jin calling just now? Yan Biyun's lazy voice came from the upstairs guest room.

"Miss, it's Su Gongzi, your ears are so good, you can hear it from such a distance." Xiao Xian'er said with a grin.

Su Jin lifted the curtain and stepped into the guest room, the room had obviously been tidied up, it was fragrant, and the bedding and mosquito nets were also renewed, it was not easy for Yan Biyun, who loved cleanliness, to live in such a humble inn, and he must be dressed up well.

There were two soft chairs side by side in the house, a pot of charcoal in front of the soft chair was red, Yan Biyun and Rou Niang on the recliner saw Su Jin coming in and were busy getting up to salute, Su Jin hurriedly waved his hand and said, "Don't get up, sit down and sit down." ”

Yan Biyun and Rou Niang opened their mouths and pointed at Su Jin for a long time, speechless; Su Jin was stunned and said, "What's the matter?" ”

"How did you get this picture? Look at the messy hair, the clothes are torn in many places, are you fighting with people? Yan Biyun asked.

Su Jin scratched his head and said what happened just now, and Yan Biyun and the other three covered their mouths and laughed.

"The inn you chose is really strict, these three watchdogs are more honest than real dogs, look at my body, it was not easy for the dynasty to get this torn cotton jacket for me, and now even the old cotton has been pulled out."

"Don't say that about them, they also do what I tell them to do, isn't it good to be strict? It also saves the gossip of others. Yan Biyun smiled: "Xian'er, comb your son's hair, don't we bring him clothes?" Take it out and replace it, how do you look like a little old man. ”

Xiao Xian'er couldn't help laughing, picked up a wooden comb and pressed Su Jin on the stool to sit down, broke up his messy bun to help Su Jin comb it, Rou Niang got up from the soft chair and found a royal blue cotton robe in the box in the corner of the room and asked Su Jin to change it out.

After packing up, Yan Biyun said: "Envoy Su is not busy with your major affairs, how can he have time to disguise himself and come to the slave family to sit here?" Is it going well? ”

Su Jin picked up the half-drunk residual tea on the case, took a sip, and said, "Don't mention it, it's very tricky." Suddenly, he stuck out his tongue and smacked his lips and said, "What does this tea taste like?" ”

Yan Biyun blushed and said, "Xian'er helped Su Gongzi make a cup of tea, how can he drink it indiscriminately, that tea is drunk by the slave family, it is medicinal tea, and it naturally has some medicinal taste." ”

Su Jin hurriedly said: "Medicinal tea? Are you sick? ”

Xiao Xian'er came over with a teacup and said: "Childe doesn't care about my young lady, it's been three days, and I haven't come to take a look. ”

Su Jin hurriedly got up and said, "Damn...... I really don't know that Biyun has this disease, but what medicine can be mixed with tea, isn't this medicine all neutralized by tea? ”

Yan Biyun said: "Neutralization? ”

Su Jin said: "I mean, I heard that taking tea and medicine together will dilute the medicinal properties, and the effect is not good." ”

Yan Biyun smiled and said: "It's okay, this pill was found by my uncle who visited famous doctors, and it is a lung-clearing thing, and it must be guided by tea, but it is different from ordinary medicines, so don't worry about it, tell me how your errand is, how it is difficult to explain." ”

Su Jin walked over to Yan Biyun's cheek to see if there was any abnormal redness, and put his ear on her back to listen to her panting, which basically ruled out the possibility of tuberculosis, probably an ordinary bronchitis or something like that, which will attack in winter, and there is no good medicine for this disease in the future, so it can only be recuperated, but fortunately, it is not a very serious disease, so I am relieved.

Turned around and sat down, and told all the encounters in the morning to Beikou Sanli Hutong, of course, the fragrant plot passed by, and he couldn't tell all the scenes with the white peony in front of the three girls, and he would cause trouble.

Yan Biyun frowned and said: "In this way, this Yangzhou is also the same as Luzhou, there has long been a tacit understanding between officials and businessmen, and they collude with each other to make profits?" ”

Su Jin shook his head and said: "It's a little different, Luzhou is the collusion of officials and businessmen, but here is the control of officials, think about it, Yangzhou officials must have suffered the same as me when they enter the rich building, I am lucky to have insight into the trap, and those officials were bitten back by Feng Laohu in the name of catching rape, and were forced to make a note, in order to protect themselves in the future, are they not at the mercy of others like a puppet?" This Feng Laohu is really tricky, even if these officials fall into the trap, they will definitely not use this to remind other officials, because that would be equivalent to admitting that they have been in this rich building. ”

Yan Biyun nodded and said, "That's the reason, what are you going to do?" ”

Su Jin rubbed his forehead and sighed: "Everywhere in the quagmire, I am almost out of confidence, when did the Great Song Dynasty become so corrupt and erosive, if it continues like this, it will be difficult to return, I am afraid that the days of tranquility will not be too long." ”

Rou Niang walked over, rubbed Su Jin's shoulder and said softly: "Master, don't be discouraged, how can things be smooth sailing, have you encountered fewer things in the past half a year?" Haven't they all been here? The slave family believes that nothing can stump the master. ”

Xiao Xian'er also said: "Yes, besides, the white peony is also pitiful, you promised others to save her, how can you be discouraged." ”

Su Jin's heart warmed, and he suddenly had a trace of strength in his heart, which was indeed a little irritable, in the face of the reverence and trust of the people around him, as a man, there is no reason, and he must not give up, and for Su Jin, this errand has hidden the shadow of conspiracy from the beginning, and now the military rations have also moved, Long Zhen has also taken them, and the bandits have also been suppressed, and there is no way back at this time.

Su Jin gently patted Rou Niang's little hand and said: "Don't worry, your son-in-law is not a person who has no beginning and no end, I came here to discuss with Sister Yan, I don't believe anyone in Yangzhou Mansion at present, I can only come to listen to my family's opinions." ”

Yan Biyun glanced at Su Jin lovingly, and said, "How can the slave family have a way, if you ask me about business, the slave family can still give me some advice." ”

Su Jindao: "The way of business and official power and strategy, there is a law in the end, and its essence is not much different, it is nothing more than profit-seeking power, maybe you are a bystander, you can inspire me." ”

Yan Biyun said: "Then the slave family will try to talk nonsense, you are not allowed to laugh at the slave family." ”

Su Jin moved to the soft chair opposite and sat down next to Yan Biyun, Yan Biyun's face turned red, and he said in his heart: This guy is becoming less and less shy of people, and he is becoming more and more intimate with himself, fortunately, Xiao Xian'er and Rou Niang are commonplace, but they don't dare to laugh casually.

"You said that the plaques on the Fugui Building are all inscribed by the Song Prefect, do you suspect that the Song Prefect also fell into his trap and knew nothing about Feng Laohu's grain?"

Su Jin shook his head and said: "I don't see it that way, although the Song Governor is pedantic, I think he is still a sincere gentleman, and he will never be in the same boat with this kind of person in major affairs; Take the matter of opening a position as an example, his performance is completely a person who only acts according to the dogma of the imperial court, or a loyal person, if it is said that he disregarded his reputation and became friends with bullies like Feng Laohu, I really can't believe it. ”

Yan Biyun nodded and said: "The slave family is similar to your opinion, the Song prefect was originally from a scholarly family, and he was also promoted to the position of deputy prime minister a few years ago, and it is precisely because of his pedantic personality that he does not know how to be flexible, so he was demoted to be a prefect here; Uncle also talked about him, and he didn't know much about his ability to do politics, but he highly respected his character and talent, and once said, 'Song Gongxu's character is upright, the big festival is not lost, and there are few people who are rich in it today; If it is not for politics, but for the revision of history books, as a generation of ......', in general, my uncle still appreciates the Song prefect. ”

Su Jinxin said: The hero sees the same thing, I also think that it is more appropriate for this person to be the chief of Taixue Mountain and write historical books, but I didn't expect Yan Shu to see it this way.

Yan Biyun continued: "In fact, the inscription of a plaque does not mean that the two are related, the Song prefect likes pen and ink, if someone has ulterior motives to deceive him, it is not difficult to ask him to inscribe a word, the Song prefect may not know that it was used on Feng Laohu's upstairs, according to this point to judge that the Song prefect and Feng Laohu have collusion, it is really untenable." ”

Su Jindao: "That's right, I think the Song Governor's Mansion is afraid that it will be used by others, and people like him will be sold for fear that they will have to pay for the people, but even if the Song Governor's Mansion and Feng Laohu do not collude, I am afraid that most of the subordinate officials in Yangzhou Mansion will be corrupted by Feng Laohu, which is a thorny problem." ”

Yan Biyun said: "It's hard to be alone, you have to have help, the officials in Yangzhou don't know that the matter has been leaked yet, if they know, I'm afraid they will collectively make trouble, what the slave family is worried about now is that Feng Laohu already knows about your opening of a position, so he may use this to blackmail you at any time, and that will be a trouble." ”

Su Jin suddenly remembered that day when the Song prefect summoned all the subordinate officials and asked them to prohibit them from talking about opening a position, there must be someone controlled by Feng Laohu among those officials, but this was equivalent to telling Feng Laohu that he had moved the official position.

Su Jin was irritable for a while, this Song Zhen was so confused, he felt that it was inappropriate that day, but this was the internal affairs of Yangzhou Mansion, and he couldn't interfere more, and he didn't know that Feng Laohu had such a great ability at the time, so he didn't expect to leave a tail in the hands of others; The only thing I can hope for now is that Song Zhen didn't say that the official warehouse is military rations, the official warehouse is the official warehouse, and the military rations are military rations, and the difference between the two is too great.
