Lu Sizhen said that he got up from his seat at the emotional place, and he almost knelt down for Li Xin, but Li Xin quickly supported him and pressed him back to his seat. Looking at the old tearful Lu Sizhen, Li Xin sighed for a while, how insidious people have weaknesses, this person's weakness should be his unsuccessful son, it seems that the matter of cheating fathers has been around for a long time, if Lu Huizhong made a big mistake and dragged him back, how could he cry in front of him at this moment?

"Lord Lu, what is this doing, it's easy to say, it's easy to say, but right now, countless pairs of eyes are staring at Taiyuan City and even the imperial court, and the two henchmen of Ben Shuai are also difficult to get rid of, it's difficult!"

After that, Li Xin also sighed, got up and left the chair, and paced two steps in the room, and the truth in the sigh should be five or five.

Lu Sizhen is also an old fritter in the officialdom, how could he not hear the meaning of Li Xin's words, wiped a handful of snot and said: "It's all confused for a while, Zhang Yingguan has made great achievements for the court and the people, which is obvious to all, and it is understandable that women and traitors behave excessively when they are provoked......"

At this time, Lu Sizhen began to pick up whatever was good, and almost patted his chest and thought that Zhang Shi was innocent and Lu Jiu was innocent, so that his unscrupulous son Lu Huizhong could also get off the donkey. However, this is obviously unrealistic, he knows, and Li Xin also knows, the reason why this is the case is also to express his position to Li Xin.

Li Xin nodded and sighed, and said, "But the court doesn't know, the people don't know, if the case is closed quietly, how can they be explained?" Then he waved his hand again and said, "Don't mention this matter again!" ”

Seeing Lu Sizhen lose his mind, Li Xin sneered again, although this person was about to accept the name and claim to surrender, he still did not let go, only said that there were many difficulties at the moment, and the time was not ripe.

Lu Sizhen, who loves his son, has been completely carried away by his father's love, and this matter is no longer something that the two of them can solve by sitting together in private and discussing countermeasures. If it hadn't been for this person's secret efforts at the beginning, Zhang Shi's case might have been properly resolved long ago, so why did it end in such an inconvenient situation today?

"Master Lu doesn't have to worry too much, this case has to go through a cumbersome procedure from investigation to evidence, and the time will not be rushed......"

Lu Sizhen sighed, echoing Li Xin's full explanation, "That's all!" ”

The two didn't come up with a result in the end, Li Xin saw Lu Sizhen leave gloomily, but there was no trace of the pleasure of revenge in his heart, the two generals were trapped in it, how could he not sit on pins and needles all the time?

Lu Sizhen didn't have much effort to leave, and another soldier came to report: "Gao Shiming, the supervising army, is here?" ”

Li Xin asked his soldiers to invite him in, but on the other hand, he wondered, what did he do? Since Zhang Shi's murder of his wife, he hasn't shown his head again, and the brain of this product is thinner than the watermelon skin, for fear that trouble will cause trouble, so he pretends not to know, so as not to get into trouble.

"Oh, if General Li doesn't see him for a day, he wants to kill our family!"

Before the person arrives, the sound comes first. As the male duck's voice landed, Gao Shiming stepped into the door. Li Xin also greeted him, and did not greet him, but went straight to the point.

"Gao Gong has every opportunity, and he must have something important to come to the door in person!"

These words were not very friendly, and Gao Shiming's face was a little embarrassed.

"That's what I said, can't we come and see it if it's okay? However, there is really something to discuss with General Li, so let's go inside, don't stand outside. ”

Gao Shiming came here for nothing else, it was for the recent boiling serial cases in Taiyuan City, first the case of Zhang Shi's murder of his wife, then Lu Jiu's false accusation, and finally there was a jury collective fraud.

"Let's say something, General Li, don't like to listen to it, now the jury system you came up with is about to become a joke in Taiyuan City, and everything is said, and our family is embarrassed to learn that ugly one. If you take 10,000 steps back, the views of the people in Taiyuan City are not important, but if you hesitate and continue to make decisions, even the views of the Jingshi will be affected, and I am afraid that it will be a big trouble. The big thing we have together is going to be stillborn! ”

Gao Shiming's meaning, Li Xin understood it, but his voice gradually became colder.

"What does Gao Gong mean?"

Gao Shiming thought that Li Xin agreed with his statement, so he said:

"When the judgment continues to suffer from its chaos, for the sake of today's plan, the knife will cut the chaos, the strong man will break his wrist, give up the car to protect the handsome, and everything will be safe!"

The string of idioms was completed in one go, but Li Xin's face was hard to see and almost frozen. He knew that Gao Shiming was afraid that when the scandal in Taiyuan City fermented out of control, the imperial court was likely to transfer Li Xin away in order to calm the people's hearts, and then the plan of the United Trading Company would inevitably be aborted.

"So, did Duke Gao let Li Xin cure Zhang Shilu Jiu's crime?"

Li Xin's voice trembled a little, with a hint of anger. Gao Shiming was still unconscious, but praised:

"It's good that General Li understands, and it saves our family a lot of words, handles these miscellaneous things, and also seals the tongues of those villains, so that we can do big things! What kind of merchant and farmer you raise, you have to hurry up, and see that the first batch of Yumai seeds will be shipped to Taiyuan, but you can't let these things be distracted...... Isn't that even a stone just killing an adulterer, according to the law of the Ming Dynasty, if he doesn't catch it, he is breaking the law, and even our family knows that he should be sentenced to exile......"

Syllable!

Li Xin finally couldn't hold back the anger in his chest, slapped the table with a slap, bounced the tea bowl on the table up, and fell to the ground again, shattering with a bang. Gao Shiming didn't expect Li Xin's reaction to be so big, and he was scared.

"General Li is angry, why is the anger coming from?"

Li Xin stood with his hands in his hands, came to the door, and suddenly turned to look at Gao Shiming and said word by word: "Even if Li Xin doesn't do this Shanxi general soldier, he must ensure that Zhang Shi and Lu Jiu are safe and sound!" ”

The air in the room seemed to freeze, and these words fell into Gao Shiming's ears, and he realized that Li Xin, who had been making trouble for a long time, not only did not listen to his words, but wanted to turn his face with himself for this, and he couldn't get angry.

"Aren't we saying this for your own good? Why did you send Liu Lingyu and your cousin to follow? Our family tells you the truth, how much has our family done for you Li Xin these days, long live already suspecting our family, you Li Xin dog bites Lu Dongbin, who will our family talk to? ”

Gao Shiming was shocked by the number of heads and faces, which made Li Xin feel shocked, and then he remembered that he had indeed received news that the emperor had sent his cousin who appeared out of nowhere, that is, Li Yong, the envoy of Jinyi Weibei Town, to Taiyuan with Jinyi Weibei.

On the surface, it seems to be for Zhang Shi's murder of his wife, but the purpose behind it, God knows if it is to guard against him Li Xin? But after another thought, even if it is a precaution, Li should not be used, right? After all, the two are cousins, and they can't write two Li characters in one stroke, so it is difficult to guarantee that they will not collude......

The air in the room was much more relaxed, but it was still quiet. Gao Shiming thought that Li Xin should wake up this time.

"Maybe it won't take long, long live and we will have to transfer our family back to Beijing, and the prison army that will come at that time will not be the same as you and me...... When our family returns to the Forbidden City, we are still the master of ceremonies, General Li, you ......"

Li Xin suddenly felt that he was too harsh on Gao Shiming, with this person's temperament, it was not easy to tolerate himself so much, and now what he said can be judged to be heartfelt, and he couldn't help but be a little moved. I was a little annoyed, after all, I was still bored because of Zhang Shi and Lu Jiu's affairs, and brought out the negative feelings, it seems that I am still far from Sun Wu's sentence "There is thunder in the chest, and the face is like a peaceful lake, can be a general".

After the situation calmed down, Li Xin immediately apologized, and Gao Shiming was surprisingly generous, saying that he didn't care, which was understandable, but insisted on letting him cut through the mess quickly. Li Xin insisted that he would rather not be the chief soldier of Shanxi than protect Zhang Lu and the others.

Just when the two of them were about to fight again, a military newspaper was sent in, and Li Xin had no choice but to suspend the dispute with Gao Shiming, but when he saw the content of the military report, he was surprised. Gao Shiming noticed the abnormality and asked:

"There's a war?"

Li Xin nodded, and slowly handed the military newspaper to Gao Shiming.

"Gao Gong and look."

General Gao Shiming's report was unfolded, and when he saw it, he was shocked.

"How can this be reasonable, after eating the bear's heart and leopard gall, dare to rob our family of 200,000 taels of silver!"

It turned out that the loan of the Jin merchants from the Manchu Emperor Taiji was hijacked by horse thieves north of Xinpingbao, near Daqingshan. The military report was sent by Qian Tai, the commander of the Zhenwei Guard, and although the other party was known as a horse thief, it was speculated that it was most likely the work of the Mongol Tartars, especially in the Uzhumuqin tribe that had previously plundered Wanquanwei. Fearing that the Mongol Tatars would take the opportunity to go south to defend the town, he asked Li Xin to send troops to reinforce him.

But Gao Shiming immediately questioned again, "What is the use of Mongolian Tartars for silver?" At present, what they lack is food, this silver should not be eaten or drunk, and now it is blocked by the imperial court, who can sell food to them? ”

Gao Shiming glanced at Li Xin meaningfully, the blockade of the Mongolian border, the former general of the expedition to the west in front of him was the initiator, if it were not for this person, without the blockade of the winter, the Mongols might not be so difficult at this time.

But then again, silver is money after all, and it never hurts to grab it in your hands, just when Gao Shi was chattering about his analysis, Li Xin's mind popped up the name of another person, there is another insider of Jiannu's big loan, and he is also a direct victim, that is Fan Yongdou!

If the Mongols made a deal with Fan Yongdou in this way, then it would be a matter of course, and the two sides would like to hit it off. But this qiē is all imaginary after all, and Fan Yongdou is in Wanquanwei, although he Li Xin has a great influence in Taiyuan Mansion, his hand has not yet reached Xuanfu.

"Dashuai, there are Jin merchants asking to see you!"

The pro-soldier who had just walked on the front foot, returned on the back foot.
