Xu Jin told Sun Sui that that day in the prison of the palace, Song Yifang, the prefect of Nanchang, hinted that there was something in the well in the backyard of the government office.

After hearing this, Sun Sui's expression suddenly became solemn, and he was silent for a long time before saying: "It seems that Mr. Song has hidden something important in the well of the government office."

Xu Jin nodded and said, "That's true. The student thinks that the thing in the well is probably related to Prince Ning's Mansion, and it's not trivial."

Sun Sui was moved. In fact, before he came to Nanchang to take office, Song Yifang had been placed under house arrest by King Ning. He had never seen the Nanchang magistrate from the time he took office until now.

Because of this matter, Sun Sui also negotiated with Ning Wang Zhu Chenhao, but Ning Wang ignored him at all. Sun Sui had no choice but to file a report. However, after the memorial was sent, nothing happened. There was nothing he could do to Ning Wang. In the end, he had to

Can't let it go.

At first, Sun Sui thought that Song Yifang was unwilling to rely on Prince Ning. In addition, he was the chief executive of Nanchang Mansion, which caused many constraints to Prince Ning's Mansion. Therefore, he was placed under house arrest by Prince Ning Zhu Chenhao. Now it seems that this may not be the case.

"What do Ziqian think Song Yiqing (named after Song Yifang) hid in the government office?" Sun Sui asked.

Although the Xu Jin in front of him is only a fifteen-year-old boy, he is still young and mature, and he always looks calm and comfortable. He can hold back such an important matter until now and tell himself in private. His calmness and sophistication are evident, and he cannot be regarded as ordinary at all.

young people look at it.

Because of this, Sun Sui also used a discussion tone to talk to Xu Jin at this time.

Xu Jin frowned slightly and said: "Since it is hidden in a well, it must not be afraid of being soaked in water. As for what it is, it is hard to say. Mr. Sun will find out when he finds a chance to fish it out, but this matter must be kept strictly confidential."

Song Yifang, a fourth-rank official, was imprisoned by King Ning. In prison, he did not even dare to say it directly, but told him in a hint way. It can be seen that the things in the well must be very important, and naturally they must be kept strictly confidential.

Sun Sui nodded and said: "What Zi Qian said is very true, but now the family members of Song Yiqing live behind the government office. There are many people, and the person who controls the government office is Ke Zheng, a fellow acquaintance. This person is King Ning's lackey. He wants to

It is difficult to secretly salvage things from the well in the backyard of the government office... This matter needs long-term consideration."

Xu Jin nodded. He was only responsible for telling the news about how to get the things in the well. That would be a headache for Sun Sui. He casually asked: "Master Sun, you are so tired, have you just come back from outside the city?"

?”

Sun Sui's face suddenly darkened when he heard this, and his anger that had just calmed down rose again, and he told him about the recent suppression of bandits.

After Xu Jin heard this, he couldn't help but be secretly shocked. King Ning was really arrogant. He openly harbored thieves, and even cut off the arms of thousands of Ming army soldiers. He was extremely powerful. Fortunately, this guy was not in Nanchang City, otherwise he would have

It's unclear whether he can leave Prince Ning's Mansion.

Sun Sui said in a deep voice: "King Ning is so arrogant that he openly harbors thieves and lets thieves plunder wealth everywhere. His treachery is obvious, but our emperor is deceived by a treacherous villain and can do nothing. Zi Qian is resourceful and can be taught some lessons.

I?"

Xu Jin was taken aback and quickly stood up and said: "How can students be so virtuous and capable!"

You're kidding, I'm just a young scholar, how can I be qualified to "teach" a governor of a province?

Sun Sui also felt that he was a little excited. He waved his hands with a smile and said in a different tone: "What do Ziqian think of the current situation in Jiangxi?"

Sun Sui and Fei Hong were good friends. When they were in Shangrao, they often discussed current affairs with Fei Hong. Fei Hong praised Xu Jin a lot and even said in private that Xu Jin had the talents of a public minister.

Of course, Sun Sui disagreed with Fei Hong's words. Xu Jin's talents and learning were impressive, and he was far more calm than his peers. But after all, he was just a fifteen-year-old boy. He had seen so much of the world, let alone

Sun Sui naturally didn't believe him when he was said to have the talents of a public official, given his political experience.

However, looking at the entire officialdom of Nanchang, apart from Xu Kui, it was difficult for Sun Sui to find officials with whom he could discuss. In addition, he had suffered a defeat at the hands of Prince Ning not long ago, and he was very unhappy, so he couldn't help but "talk" to Xu Jin.

.

Xu Jin glanced at Sun Sui calmly and said respectfully: "Xu Jin is just a scholar, how dare he speak nonsense."

Sun Sui waved his hand and said: "It doesn't matter, just think of it as chatting with each other. What comes out of your mouth is what comes into my ears!"

Xu Jin nodded when he heard this. Since Sun Sui could say the above words in front of him, he obviously didn't regard himself as an outsider. What's more, he was taking care of Sun Sui during this period, so he didn't mind reminding him.

"In today's Jiangxi territory, it is not an exaggeration to say that King Ning covers the sky with one hand. He seizes people's fields, steals and plunders, and kills local officials who are imprisoned. He is so lawless, how can he still stand firm?"

Sun Sui said in a deep voice: "That is because King Ning colluded with the powerful people in the capital to deceive the current emperor. The local officials reported that the memorials to impeach King Ning were intercepted by traitors like Qian Ning."

Xu Jin smiled and said: "So the problem is not in Jiangxi at all, but in the court. Even if Mr. Sun eliminates all the bandits in Jiangxi, he will not be able to solve the problem of Prince Ning's Mansion!"

Sun Sui shook his head and said: "I have also discussed this matter with Ru Deng (Xu Kui). The crux of the problem seems to be in the court, but in fact it is still in Jiangxi. King Ning relied on a large amount of money to make friends with the powerful people in the capital, and he

Most of the money used to make friends with the powerful was looted by bandits. As long as the bandits in Jiangxi are wiped out, it will be equivalent to cutting off King Ning's brothers and wealth."

Xu Jin couldn't help but be speechless. Sun Sui and Xu Kui's ideas were indeed correct, but they failed to grasp the main contradiction.

"Master Sun also said just now that Prince Ning's rebellion is obvious. Why would Prince Ning dare to rebel? He doesn't hold military power. Even if Master Sun wipes out the bandits in Jiangxi and cuts off Prince Ning's financial path, so what?"

Sun Sui retorted: "King Ning has no money to manage the dignitaries in the capital. Without them to interfere, it will be easy to ask the emperor to cut off King Ning's military power. What's more, King Ning's original excuse for requesting to restore the three guards of the palace

It means that the banditry in Jiangxi is serious, and the palace needs to have the strength to protect itself. If the banditry in Jiangxi subsides, Prince Ning will have no excuse to hold the Three Guards anymore!"

Xu Jin has a feeling of pain in his balls. This method of "saving the country through curves" is really "crooked". You don't know how long it will take until you wipe out all the bandits in Jiangxi. What's more, Prince Ning can watch you helplessly wipe out all the bandits in Jiangxi.

The bandits were wiped out?

Of course, Xu Jin could not directly say that Sun Sui's method was futile and stupid. He could only say euphemistically: "Master Sun's idea is not wrong, but there is actually a simpler and more effective way to defeat Prince Ning."

Sun Sui was moved in his heart and asked hurriedly: "Zi Qian, please speak!"

Xu Jin smiled and said: "The reason why Prince Ning can be lawless is because there are people in the capital who are cooperating and deceiving the current emperor."

Sun Sui nodded and said: "That's right. Qian Ning, the Minister of History Lu Wan, the actor Zang Xian, etc. are all colluding with King Ning Hang. Especially Qian Ning, this thief, is extremely favored by the emperor!"

Xu Jin said calmly: "Master Sun, if you dare to ask, does Qian Ning have no rival in Beijing?"

Sun Sui's eyes flashed and he glanced at Xu Jin in surprise. Now, beside the emperor, there was indeed a famous person who could compete with Qian Ning. That person's name was Jiang Bin, but he was also a treacherous minister. Sun Sui felt that

I also hate people very much, so I never thought of contacting this person.

Xu Jin smiled and said: "Master Sun, students believe that although the enemy of the enemy may not be a friend, they can still make the best use of the situation. A gentleman is round on the outside and square on the inside, so why should he be rigid?"

Although Sun Sui was an upright man, he was not a rigid person. Hearing this, his thoughts became vivid. He suddenly raised his head and said with a smile: "Zichong (Fei Hong) once said that Zi Qian has the talents of a public official. Now it seems that Zi Qian is indeed
