The curtain was lifted, and Song Zhen, who was full of anger, didn't care about his image of a humble gentleman at all, his face was half washed, and he hadn't dried it yet, his clothes were open to the placket, revealing the small clothes inside, and his long hair, which was originally elegant and chic, was blown up by his lips in a mess at the moment, and a few strands were still stuck to his wet face, which seemed to be really angry.

Su Jin was a little unbearable, he took a risk, and forced Song Zhen to a dead end, no wonder he was so angry, so he stepped forward to support the stumbling Song Zhen, and said: "Lord Fuzun, don't be angry, hurting your body is an irreparable sin for us." ”

Song Zhen waved away Su Jin's outstretched hand, pointed at his nose and said: "Su Jin, you ignorant child, you open a warehouse to release grain without permission, the crime is unforgivable, this official will send you to the capital and treat you in front of the emperor." ”

Su Jin said in a loud voice: "It should be, it should be, I came here to ask Lord Fuzun for the guilt, and Lord Fuzun can take me to the capital to ask for guilt, and I have no complaints." ”

Song Zhen said angrily: "Do you dare to complain? None of the people involved in this matter can escape, and the government will question you all. ”

Su Jin hurriedly said: "This matter is done by me alone, and there is no forgiveness with others." It is I who invites you to drink the Menghan medicinal wine, I am the one who fakes the official document, and I am the one who opens the warehouse and releases the grain. ”

"What? What did you give this official a sweat potion? I said how did the official sleep for a day, it turned out that you were a villain, and I trusted you so much in vain, which really annoyed me. ”

Song Zhen beat his chest and paused, and shouted loudly: "Come on, come on, take Su Jin into custody immediately, and escort him to Beijing." ”

Song Quan, who was standing on the side, hurriedly stepped forward and knelt down and said: "Daddy, daddy, no, the envoy Su took the risk for the sake of my Yangzhou people, you can't punish him for this, and besides, his son also knew in advance about this matter, the official document was forged by his son, and your big seal was also stolen by your son, so you have to take it with your son." ”

Song Zhen was heartbroken, gritted his teeth and said: "Then take it together, don't blame your father's cruelty, you have already committed a great crime of punishing the sky, this crime is unforgivable, I can't say that I will take you to Beijing." Come! Take both of them together. ”

The officials who were waiting at the door heard that the master had happened, and hurriedly ran over, but when they heard that they were going to take the envoy and the young son, they all looked at each other and didn't know what to do.

"Take it, what are you waiting for?" Song Zhen picked up a teacup and threw it at the head of the official team who was hesitant to look forward and backward, looking like crazy.

The team leader was helpless, so he had to shout forward, only to hear a voice in the corner say: "Governor Song, if you want to take it, you can take it with the official." ”

Song Zhen turned his head to look, and saw the chubby Gou Dasheng sitting there, his face full of gloom; Although Song Zhen was angry, he was not confused, and hurriedly stepped forward and said: "Gou Cangsi, you don't know the details, these two people ......"

Gou Dasheng waved his hand and said: "Don't say it, I know what happened, I went to Yangzhou City yesterday afternoon, and when I came to see you, Shi Linglang said that you were sick and fell asleep, so I didn't dare to disturb it, and then the official went to Cangsi, and the official witnessed every move of the Su envoy. ”

Song Zhen stomped his feet and said: "Then why don't you stop it, do you let them trample on the laws and disciplines of the court, and even your own life will be guaranteed?" ”

Gou Dasheng said: You don't want to think about it, I tossed for a long time, was whipped, and finally I was not pulled on the thief ship.

"That's right, but I think it's ...... What the envoy did was the right choice. "Gou Da Shengdao.

"What? Gou Cangji, aren't you joking with the old man, you actually said that it was the right choice for such a big crime as using military rations, I think you are old and confused. Song Zhen scolded angrily.

Gou Dasheng scratched his head and said: "Don't worry about the Song Governor's Mansion, you listen to me, the food interruption in Yangzhou City is getting more and more serious, and if you don't take extraordinary measures, I'm afraid that the people will starve to death and freeze to death, and even more serious is to brew a large-scale civil uprising, then it will really be a big deal; In addition, the envoy of the Soviet Union said that the Luzhou grain transport team will arrive soon, and the warehouse will be quietly filled at that time. ”

Song Zhen's tears were about to come out: "Luzhou grain transportation team? Do you believe his nonsense? He even dared to be drugged and fascinated by his own officials, and even dared to forge official documents, what else did he dare not do, you don't want to think about it, where did he get 500,000 stone of grain to help Yangzhou? ”

Gou Dasheng was furious by him, and looked at Su Jin suspiciously, Su Jin knew that this was a critical moment, at this time, if Gou Dasheng had doubts about himself, the alliance between himself and Gou Dasheng would collapse in an instant, so he said: "This envoy swears by the sky, if there is half a lie about the grain in Luzhou, I will not die well; The envoy was about to send someone to urge, but the delay was long, presumably because of the snow, the official road was not easy to walk, and thousands of vehicles were quite troublesome along the way. ”

Song Zhen said angrily: "When are you still going to deceive me?" You have done such a thing because you were sent by the emperor, are you worthy of the trust that the Holy God has placed in you? ”

Su Jin's face changed color when he heard this: "Governor Song, there are a lot of good things to say, you just admit this dead reason, is it worthy of the emperor to let the people in the city starve to death and freeze to death?" Since the envoy came to Yangzhou, the good Yangzhou Mansion has been turned into this picture by the inaction of your Song Governor's Mansion, you don't introspect, but blame us and other people who try their best to help the people, is it possible that the people are displaced and starving, you can rest assured that you can guard your warehouse of military food and sleep a lot? ”

Gou Dasheng stretched out his hand to pull Su Jin, for fear that his fierce words would stimulate Song Zhen; Su Jin pushed him away, pointed at Song Zhen and continued: "Since this is the case, you tied up the envoy and went to the capital to ask for the crime; I will never drag others down, I will bear all the blame, you have long eyes, open ears, you go out to see, more than 100,000 people in the Yamen Square are kneeling in the snow, just to thank you for the kindness of the prefect, I Su Jin is not sorry to die, this people's thoughts are not greedy for you at all, if you don't believe it, go to the outside of the government to see if I Su Jin told a lie. ”

Song Zhen listened to Su Jin's angry words, and he was also introspecting in his heart, if he really pulled his cheeks to escort Su Jin, Gou Dasheng, and Song Quan into Beijing, he actually couldn't do it, as soon as this matter came out, no matter how many parties you took, he always couldn't get out of it, he was full of anger just now, but it slowly calmed down at this moment.

Su Jin said that, he stood there angrily, gritting his teeth with his neck twisted, while Song Zhen sat on the chair and rubbed his forehead and sighed; What Su Jin said is unreasonable, he always wants to take that step, but he is always timid and dare not act, Su Jin didn't care about opening a warehouse for relief as soon as he came, this courage was actually admired by Song Zhen from the bottom of his heart, but it was just ...... It's a real headache to see how this matter went.

Several people in the yamen were silent, all of them were like clay sculptures and wood carvings, but the noise outside the yamen was getting louder and louder, and suddenly the people spontaneously let out an earth-shattering cry, submerging the entire Yangzhou city.

"The envoy is dedicated to the people, and we and the people wish you many blessings and long lives!"

"Lord Qingtian is the prefect, come out to see me and wait, I'll kowtow to you!"

"Lord Cangji came out to meet, and the people of Yangzhou thank you for your great kindness!"

“……”

The spontaneous shouts of the people shook the tea cups in the house, and anyone in such a position would inevitably feel emotional; Su Jin is okay, Song Zhen and Gou Dasheng have been officials for many years, seeking to be promoted and make a fortune, who doesn't want to fall into the official reputation loved by the people, but it's a pity that for so many years, they have either been criticized behind their backs, or they have been abused.

Finally, Song Zhen got up slowly, tears flashed in his eyes, and he sighed and said: "The matter has come to this, slowly find a way to make up for it, you and I go out to meet the people of Yangzhou, we can't teach the people to suffer from the cold outside." ”

Su Jin stiffened his neck and didn't squeak, and said in his heart: Lao Tzu is doing things with his head, giving you such a big reputation, and you have to accept your words, it's really not worthwhile.

Song Zhen stepped forward and grabbed Su Jin's arm and said, "Lord Envoy, don't be angry, go out with this mansion to see people talking first." ”

Su Jin said: "If you want to go, I won't go." ”

Song Zhen touched a nail, and his old face turned red and said, "Do you want this official to kneel down and invite you?" ”

After saying that, Gou Dasheng glanced at him, Gou Dasheng understood, rushed forward, took Su Jin's other arm, and the two of them half-dragged and half-dragged Su Jin to the yamen.
