The ancestors were both tomb robbers, but one later took advantage of the traitorous ministers to be in power, and took advantage of the faint monarchy to be rewarded by Song Huizong as a "Tongjinshi" who was born in the officialdom, and he actually became a second-class official when he was old.

The other died in the fire, at the hands of the once most trusted "leading brother", and left his children and grandchildren to return to their old jobs and live the kind of life of digging graves and robbing graves.

People have to die more than people, and goods have to be thrown away.

Obviously, Fang Tingshuo's family, who are sitting behind the official case, belong to the kind of good goods that will not be thrown away now. And Chai Guosheng's family, who were kneeling on the guillotine, belonged to the kind of goods that should be thrown away when they were used as a night pot and kicked open after using one kick, but also stepped on a few times until they stepped on the day when they didn't turn over.

But Fang Tingshuo is not his grandfather after all, even his father often lamented that his grandfather betrayed his feelings and killed his siblings. When I came to him, I was even a little ashamed of what my grandfather did back then.

So when he received the order to let him preside over Chai Guosheng, in fact, Fang Tingshuo was a little apprehensive and unbearable in his heart. After all, the ancestor owes a blood debt to the family, a very heavy blood debt, and then he judges the evil Chai Guosheng, which always feels a little unlikely.

But Wang Fa is Wang Fa, the reason why Fang Tingshuo was able to stand out from the tens of thousands of "returnees" in the north, was favored by Zong Ze, liked by Yang Shi, trusted by Zhao Ding and liked by Mr. Hu Anguo, is completely because his character is indeed very different from his ancestors.

What is Fang Tingshuo like? He is a disciple of Hu Anguo, a cabinet minister Hu Yin, who has just been retransferred to the cabinet and has no official position for the time being.

He joined Hu Yin's disciple at the age of thirteen or fourteen, and it can be said that he grew up under the watchful eye of the Hu family since he was a child. Upright and resourceful. This is Hu Yin's definition of him.

Is it just a definition of Hu Yin? Can Liu Xing, a person like him whose hometown is in Jiangnan and who voted for King Kang first, easily know Kaifeng Shaoyin for the time being? Can Yang Shi, Zhao Ding, and Zong Ze all take a fancy to him?

The answer, of course, is no. If Hu Yin only likes him and recommends him, he may not be able to get the love of Zong Ze, Yang Shi and Zhao Ding, let alone Liu Xing, who hates his friends and is trying his best to dismantle the relationship between teachers and students.

So what is the reason for Fang Tingshuo to be in this position today? In fact, there are only two reasons, one is that although he is a student of Hu Yin, he dared to disagree with his teacher on many conflicts between the old and new hair when he was Hu Yin's staff, and even dared to argue with his teacher for three days and three nights. He is a staunch supporter of the new law.

Second, it's simpler. Although he is a disciple of Hu Yin, by chance, he saved Zong Ze's only beloved daughter, Zong Lin, last year, and was favored by the lady of the Zong family and married him......

Hu Anguo's 10,000 letters dismantled the officialdom of the Southern Dynasties. It attracted tens of thousands of scholars and Confucians to return to the north. Zong Ze's prestige in the army is second only to Liu Xing, and the ministers in the court are also respected by everyone. With these two people as the center, the relationship between various relatives, friends, and students in the old department is the foundation, and new friends are being formed irrepressibly.

At that time, when Hu Anguo and Zong Ze sent a secret letter asking Liu Xing to personally circle the candidate for the temporary acting Shaoyin of Kaifeng Mansion, as soon as Liu Xing heard Liang Xing finish talking about Fang Tingshuo's identity, he had a bad idea in his heart at that time: Hehe, don't they all like to be friends? Xiao Ye wants to see what can be done with such a person in the middle, the future "Hu Party" and "Zong Party".

Knowing that this kind of partisan relationship is beneficial to him, Liu Xing does not want to continue to dismantle it. But I also want to be a little precautionary. As a result, Fang Tingshuo became a wedge buried by Liu Xing between the "Hu Party" and the "Zong Party".

As for how this wedge will be used in the future. For Liu Xing, it was all something that had already been done for a long time......

is such a Fang Tingshuo, such a wedge-like figure that Liu Xing actually thinks is headed by two small factions in the biggest party today.

When he was scolded by Chai Guosheng in public, and scolded seven or eight sentences in one breath, he finally couldn't bear it anymore.

Just as Li Taizhuang disappeared from the side alley, Fang Tingshuo slammed his fist on the table and stood up from behind the official case.

He pointed at Chai Guosheng on the guillotine, and roared loudly: "Chai Guosheng, the affairs of the ancestors are private affairs, and today's affairs are that you have violated the royal law, and this is a matter of official business!" If you dare to be so presumptuous, believe it or not, the official will immediately call someone to pour you hemp soup, so that you can no longer scream. ”

"Come, come! Grandpa wants to see how you, the dog officer, seal grandpa's mouth! Chai Guosheng, who was pressed on the guillotine by the two Tiance guards, heard Fang Tingshuo's words, but struggled to raise his head again and shouted two words in the direction of Guan'an.

"Your Excellency, please read the letter."

Just as Fang Tingshuo was trembling with anger and almost going crazy, the master suddenly took a letter from the hand of a person dressed as a servant, looked at it, walked quickly to his side and handed it to him.

Fang Tingshuo didn't know what to do, and after taking the letter with a stunned face, he opened it and asked his master: "Whose letter, how did someone submit a letter to this official when the official asked about the case, but it is related to this case?" ”

The master didn't answer, just pointed to the letter, and then smiled weirdly.

Seeing that the master was like this, Fang Tingshuo stopped looking, and when he looked down and saw the words on the letter, his eyes widened in shock, and it took a long time to come back to his senses.

"Tai, Taifu is here! Taifu is in the crowd of onlookers? After a long time, when he returned to his senses, Tingshuo's hands holding the letter trembled, and he looked around in horror and asked his master.

The master smiled slightly, nodded lightly and said, "My lord, you still follow the orders of the Taifu, decisively greet and make a quick judgment!" Otherwise, with the temper of our master, if he sees that you are weak, he will jump out at any time to interrogate you personally. At that time, you won't have any good fruit to eat! ”

Hearing this, Fang Tingshuo nodded again and again, and said in a daze: "Yes, yes!" The official has to question the case and judge the case quickly and justly. I must not let the Taifu lose his trust in me, and I must not lose the face of my teacher and father-in-law. ”

As soon as these words fell, when Fang Tingshuo turned around suddenly, he seemed to have completely changed in an instant.

When he looked at the guillotine again, he directly issued an order to the ghost-faced Tiance Wei on the guillotine: "You wait for the speed to use spells to seal some of the meridians of this mess, so that he will not make a big deal of nonsense and honestly listen to the official again." ”

There is no trace of Fang Cai's wandering, and he no longer sees the guilt in his heart for Chai Guosheng's family. In just an instant, Fang Tingshuo seemed to have become an iron-faced judge who knew everything in his chest. (To be continued.) )
