Chapter 458: A Major Discovery
After Su Jin left, Ouyang Xiu, who got up in the early morning to greet Su Jin, did not feel sleepy anymore, he returned to the official post and looked at the small mountain case file.
Ouyang Xiu has not been idle in the past few days, Su Jin pushed the case of Yangzhou officials colluding with Feng Jingyao to Ouyang Xiu, so that he, the minister who originally came to investigate Su Jin, suddenly became the chief judge of the Yangzhou official case.
However, Ouyang Xiu did not refuse, if such a case is reported, it still needs to be tried by Yushitai, and what he is doing at this moment can be regarded as a matter of duty.
During the interrogation, Ouyang Xiu had a new understanding of Su Jin, such a young man, in dealing with Feng Jingyao and Yangzhou officials, his ingenious methods and fearless courage really taught people to smack their tongues.
What is unimaginable is that under the situation that almost all the officials in Yangzhou have become Feng Jingyao's minions, he can calmly maneuver around, but his secret actions are not noticed by the officials, which shows that this person is mentally strong and thoughtful.
Ouyang Xiu naturally wanted to interrogate Feng Jingyao, but when he saw Feng Jingyao, who was already close to madness, and the bloody and blurred scars on his body, as well as Feng Jingyao's broken half of his finger that was constantly breaking and bleeding, Ouyang Xiu clearly felt a chill.
Su Jin is not a good type, cutting off Feng Jingyao's index finger in public as a painting and pressing the handprint, this move is so vicious that it is outrageous, he seems to be not afraid of others talking about it at all, as for the poisonous methods such as beating the board, deceiving people with false complaints, preparing croton soup enema, and even threatening to plug the place of reincarnation with a wooden stopper, etc., compared to it, it is a small thing.
What kind of person is this? Ouyang Xiu tried hard to find out Su Jin's style of acting, as he often did when he lived in the Imperial History Observatory for a long time, he liked to classify everyone in the court, what kind of people would do what kind of things, what kind of things could only be done by whom, this was what he liked to ponder.
But this Su Jin, he can't classify it, if you say that he is a humble gentleman and has no quarrel with the world, it is simply a joke; From the time he was in Yingtianfu, this person was already very restless; If he hadn't made a mess in Yingtianfu, Teng King Zhao Zongdan might not have been closed like a prisoner in Yingtianfu like he is now.
After Bao Zheng sent the German army to wipe out the private soldiers everywhere, Zhao Zongdan became a lonely man, if it weren't for the saint who still cared about blood and family, Zhao Zongdan's head would be lost; As for that Tang Jie, he died even more unjustly, the dignified prefect, who died in the post station for no apparent reason, and there is no explanation until now.
When this person arrived in Yangzhou, he suddenly turned the world upside down, exterminated the bandits, pacified the people's rebellion, and involved so many officials, and now provoked Wang Qinian, the commander of Huainan Road, and a group of court elders to pull his pigtails, and I can't wait to immediately ask him to be imprisoned.
Ouyang Xiu naturally understood that this was related to the competition for a certain position, but he had to say that this envoy Su was not a fuel-efficient lamp, but if he was a little restrained, he would not pull out so much hatred, so it can be seen that Su Jin was not the kind of person who had to be careful with his tail between his legs.
But this person is quite literary, a few poems were spread by Yan Shu in the government and the opposition, Ouyang Xiu was ashamed after reading it, if he said that the text is like his person, Su Jin should be a beautiful son with outstanding literary and sentimental feelings, and he should be the kind of son of a family who doesn't know the flowers.
But looking at the methods of this person, none of them can be linked to those exquisite and elegant poems, and even his background is just a joke, he is just a businessman, and he says that there is no distinction between high and low in the eyes of the merchants, but in the hearts of all people, the businessman is the most despised; is also vulgar in his actions, it is completely a scoundrel method, and even when he arrested Feng Jingyao, he used Feng Jingyao to charm Feng Jingyao, this style of acting can almost ruin his reputation, but he doesn't seem to care.
All in all, this person is a contradiction, with the face of a beautiful son of the turbid world, writing the poems of elegant people, but acting viciously and vigorously, sometimes more treacherous than the old fox who has been in the officialdom for many years.
The sound of chickens crowing outside the window gradually rose, Ouyang Xiu blew out the candle and got up to open the window, and a cold cold air came to his face, which made his chaotic brain sober up a lot.
Originally, he was going to ask Su Jin something today, and this matter was said by the interrogated prisoner, Ouyang Xiu felt that he was slandering Su Jin at that time, but when he found that he could hardly understand any context about Su Jin, it made him uneasy, so he wanted to ask the person concerned side-by-side to see his reaction to judge whether this matter was true.
Su Jin can do anything, maybe that incident is also true, if this is the case, the matter will be serious, so serious that he doesn't dare to think about it.
"Lord Zhongcheng, breakfast is ready, please move and eat." The personal entourage reported outside the door.
Ouyang Xiu hummed, closed the window, thought for a while and said to the door, "People are coming." ”
An attendant opened the curtain and entered, bowed and said, "Your Excellency." ”
Ouyang Xiu said: "Can the messenger sent to Shouzhou City come back?" ”
The entourage said: "It's only been two days since I sent out, and I can't come back at night at the earliest, Shouzhou is more than 700 miles away from here, and the fast horse can't bear it." ”
Ouyang Xiu nodded and said, "Once you come back, call him to see me immediately; In addition, I sent someone to the yamen to watch, and if the grain envoy Su went to the yamen, I would immediately invite him to see me. ”
The attendants gave up their hands and withdrew; Ouyang Xiu finished breakfast, ordered several important criminals to be mentioned, and started a new round of interrogation with that incident as the focus.
……
When Su Jin woke up, it was already noon, the residual fragrance on the pillow was still there, and there were still a few green silks scattered, but he was the only one left in the room.
Su Jin tried his best to remember whether he had done anything last night, but unfortunately, he did not lose the fragment of his memory, and he remembered it clearly from the time he entered the house to the time he fell asleep.
Su Jin slapped his mouth, the beauty is current, such a good opportunity, holding Yan Biyun's smooth and fragrant body, he actually fell asleep, is there something wrong with him?
Thinking of the situation last night, the little brother below immediately seemed to prove something, and it was a little hard to say, Su Jin took a sip and sighed to get out of bed, what a good opportunity, it was so wasted, and it is unknown whether he can get into Yan Biyun's bed next time.
There was a sound of footsteps outside the door, and Xiao Sui'er walked in with a hot water towel, looking a little blank; Su Jin is a thief and knows why this little girl's face is not good; Doesn't it mean that the distinction between the inferior and the inferior in ancient times was extremely strict? I am also the owner of Xiao Sui'er, how can I put up this girl who always looks at her face, it is really a headache.
Su Jin sighed and began to wash, Xiao Sui'er said, "What is the sigh of the son, aren't you happy this day?" I went back to the inn in the middle of the night and came to Miss Yan's room, isn't this teaching people to gossip? ”
Su Jin said with a sideways face: "Who is gossiping?" Upstairs and downstairs are all my own family, and besides, I'm just here to rub a hot quilt, and I haven't done anything, you girl is a little nosy. ”
Xiao Sui'er flattened her mouth and said: "Xiao maid is just thinking about your and Miss Yan's reputation, you don't have a marriage contract, and besides, the old lady hasn't agreed to this matter, if the son is like this now, if the old lady doesn't agree, what will Miss Yan do in the future?" ”
Su Jin didn't expect this section, the reason this girl found was above board, and it couldn't be refuted.
"Well, what you said is reasonable, this time it was the master who was abrupt, and he didn't take it as an example; Sui'er seems to have grown up now, and she thinks about things very carefully. ”
Xiao Sui'er said: "People are not children anymore, only the prince has always treated the little maid as a child, and he just told them about everything, and he didn't tell me." ”
Su Jin smiled: "Say you're fat and you're still panting, have you grown up?" If I'm not mistaken, you seem to be only fifteen, right? ”
Xiao Sui'er twisted her body and said: "It's sixteen in the New Year, and in the countryside, you have to get married at the age of fifteen, and you may have to be a mother at the age of sixteen, and the son doesn't understand anything." ”
Su Jin wiped the water stains on his face, sat on the chair and asked Xiao Sui'er to help him comb his hair, and said deliberately: "It turns out that Sui'er reminded me to find someone for you, and told the master, if you like that little guy, the master will call the shots for you, give you a thick dowry, and keep you without worrying about food and clothing in the future." ”
Xiao Sui'er was suddenly silent, and her hand to comb her hair didn't move, Su Jin looked back in surprise, only to see Xiao Sui'er standing there with tears in her eyes, and her pretty little face was full of tears.
Su Jin hurriedly said: "Why are you crying?" What's wrong with you. ”
Xiao Sui'er stomped her feet and said: "I know that the master thinks I'm in the way, and I want to send the little maid away one day earlier, don't bother about it, the master doesn't want me to serve, so I will go to Yunshui Nunnery to be a nun, and it will save the lord from looking annoying." ”
Su Jin smiled dumbly, got up to help Xiao Sui'er wipe her tears, and comforted: "It turns out that you are not looking for someone?" I'm going to be wrong. ”
Xiao Sui'er raised her little face and cried: "The little maid is not going anywhere, just waiting...... Ye for a lifetime, if you are annoyed one day, say it, little maid herself...... Picked up the package and walked away; But I don't want to go, sir...... The little maid didn't speak a little up or down, and she knew it, but she couldn't control herself, so she just asked the master to forgive me and not drive me away. ”
Su Jin never thought that a joke would cause such a big reaction, looking at Xiao Sui'er's sad appearance, Su Jin was a little moved, and the other people around Su Jin didn't dare to say it, but as long as there was danger, Xiao Sui'er would definitely be the first to step forward to protect herself, which Su Jin could definitely guarantee.
I remember that in Yingtianfu, Yan Shu went to the academy to look for himself but didn't find it, so he sent a tolerance to the whole city to inquire about himself, everyone thought that he was going to take himself, and when he was found by tolerance on the street, Xiao Sui'er rushed up like a female tiger, and almost didn't pinch the tolerance arm; If they are Huanniang, they may die with themselves, but if they want to fight, they will never be able to do it.
Su Jin understood this, and accompanied himself to die, or tried his best to protect himself from death, it is difficult to distinguish between the two, but in Su Jin's heart, he recognized Xiao Sui'er's approach, Su Jin is not a good type, and he naturally refuses to be killed when he encounters a major event in life and death, so he hopes that someone can fight together like him, rather than passively accept and then martyrdom.
Su Jin stretched out his hand and took Xiao Sui'er's hand and said softly: "Sui'er, what stupid things are you talking about, as long as you are willing to follow the master, how can you drive you away?" I'm afraid that you don't want to follow the master one day, and the master can't stop you, just laughing with you, how can you take it seriously; What a child, can't help but tease. ”
Xiao Sui'er shook her head softly and said, "Master, how could the little maid leave you by herself, no, unless you drive the little maid away." ”
Su Jin smiled and said, "Master...... How can you give it? ”
Xiao Sui'er blushed and her heart was beating, Su Jin was the first time to say this kind of thing to her, she was at a loss for a while, a little dizzy, and she was busy holding the back of the chair with her hand to calm down.
Su Jin was also a little embarrassed, why did he say these ridiculous words casually, Xiao Sui'er is still underage, although he is also sixteen years old, but the soul in his skin is a young man, and he can't help but talk to Xiao Lori, this is a crime.
Su Jin couldn't help but look at the snow-white and crystalline back of Xiao Sui'er's neck when he lowered his head while blaming himself, and his eyes slid down in his heart, and he was suddenly surprised to find that in his own inadvertently, this little girl had developed very well, and her chest was already bulging, like carrying two little rabbits, and her body also exuded a faint girlish body fragrance that smelled good; With low-hanging eyelids, a pretty pink face, a round and straight nose, and a small and ruddy mouth, she is a beautiful woman.
Su Jin was surprised, it turned out that this girl was indeed not a child, she was indeed 'big'.
