Su Jin and the others quickly walked through the deserted streets, returned to their residence, and locked the door.
Wang Chao, who had been holding back all the way, couldn't wait to ask: "Master, your method is really wonderful. As expected, this guy will take the soft and not the hard. You really guessed it right."
Su Jin covered his hands on the tea cup and said with a smile: "It's just a combination of soft and hard tactics. He won't give in just because he's soft."
Ma Han came up and said: "Yes, yes, it is the most satisfying to feed him poison with the last hand. In this way, this guy will not dare to do anything behind his back, otherwise the young master will not give him the antidote and he will suffer from intestinal rupture."
Rot and die.”
Su Jin chuckled and said: "The fart poison is just jelly beans sold on the street. It's just sugar wrapped in flour and brown sugar juice poured outside."
Dynasty Mahan's eyes were jumping on the ground. He was playing an empty city trick. It turned out that he was just feeding a lot of jelly beans on the street that cost only a penny.
"But, didn't you say there are some side effects? Are there any side effects of eating jelly beans? Doesn't this give away the truth?"
Su Jin said: "Go and ask everything. I can't tell you about this, lest you go out and harm others."
Dynasty Mahan rolled his eyes, what does it mean to harm people everywhere, just asking, if you don't tell, don't tell, and you still say such things.
The two of them washed their feet and faces, went to bed and fell asleep. Su Jin also washed and went to bed to rest. He thought to himself: I went to the wrong side. If I tell you, I will lose my worth. The jelly beans are good, but I only use the few I have at home.
The Lieyang Huichun Pills have been infested all afternoon. Didn't you see that they were wrapped in tin foil when you took them out? If they weren't all wearing masks, I wouldn't even dare to take them out.
I also thought that the blind third master was probably very busy at the moment and would not stop until he was busy most of the night. I snickered secretly in my heart and thought wildly for a while before falling into a deep sleep.
Early the next morning, Su Jin and Dynasty Mahan went to the Ximen Yuelai Inn to see off the old shopkeeper. The old shopkeeper Yin Yin warned Su Jin to be extremely careful. Su Jin had great respect for the old shopkeeper who regarded him as his father and bought another one.
He was asked to take a large pile of food and supplies back to Luzhou for distribution, and asked him to bring a message to Mrs. Wang, saying that he would definitely return to Luzhou for a reunion before the end of the year.
Su Jin originally wanted Zhang Long to follow Su Jin, but the old shopkeeper knew that Su Jin needed manpower to do things, and said that the banditry had been eliminated and it was safe, so he insisted on letting Zhang Long stay and follow Su Jin. Su Jin couldn't resist him, so he had to give up.
It was not until noon that I watched the old shopkeeper take Yang Xiaosi and others out of the city and leave.
Su Jin turned around and was about to talk to Yan Biyun and others about what happened last night when he suddenly saw people on the street turning on their backs and a group of cavalry galloping towards them. The leader was Zhao Dutou of the cavalry army.
When Zhao Dutou saw Su Jin hurriedly turned over and dismounted, he shouted: "Oh, my lord, please teach me how to find it easily, but I'm so anxious."
Su Jin said in surprise: "What's wrong?"
"It's making trouble, it's making trouble," Zhao Du said in a loud voice.
"What's the fuss about?"
Zhao Du stretched his head and stretched his neck to take a few breaths and said: "Prefect Song's central office is looking for you everywhere, saying that the soldiers are making a fuss. Prefect Song is so anxious that he is waiting for you in the lobby."
Su Jin was startled and thought to himself: This Song magistrate is too stupid. He must have failed to temporarily replace Pan Jiang and Pan Shiyi's commanding duties with others, which caused a commotion.
Su Jin had no time to ask, so he quickly pulled a horse and rode it back to the government office with Zhao Dutou and others. On the way, Zhao Dutou kept complaining: "I don't know what kind of evil this Song Prefect has committed. Yesterday afternoon
Suddenly I went to the Xiangbing camp to investigate about the soldiers' pay. Finally, I found out that the two commanders Pan were embezzling the soldiers' pay.
He just announced the suspension of two people in public, and promoted two young captains to temporarily take over the command. Think about it, Pan Jiang fought tooth and nail with us to capture Bagong Mountain, and there was no reward. Treating people like this is depriving soldiers of their pay.
Things in the army are more common than eating, dressing, shitting and farting, why is Magistrate Song making such a fuss?"
Su Jin felt depressed. There was really no way for Song Xiang to handle the matter. He had clearly told him to keep a low profile and use military pay as an excuse. However, if he announced it in public, it would not be a disgrace to others. He could just say it quietly in private, and what else?
Explain clearly to Pan Jiang and Pan Shiyi that this is required by the writing from above, and they have to show off. When the limelight is over, they will be reinstated and all the responsibilities will be passed on to the above. This matter will be solved easily and happily.
There was such a big leak.
"What's going on now?"
"Forget it, the two commanders had themselves tied up. They took six or seven of their best friends and a group of soldiers with whom they had good relations and knelt in the lobby and asked the Song Prefect to interrogate them. Why did they say that they were corrupt?
If you commit a crime, you can't just suspend your duties, but you have to act in accordance with the law. In short, it will make trouble."
Su Jin cursed: "Damn, they are all a bunch of brainless idiots. If they can do something like this, they are stupider than pigs."
Zhao Dutou hurriedly shut up. This scolding seemed to be scolding him, so he must not speak out, lest he get angry.
In the lobby of the yamen, twenty or thirty people were kneeling like straw men, with half of their shoulders exposed and a few firewood tied to their bodies. Song Xiang in the hall was so earnest that he didn't know what he was talking about. Pan Jiang and others below were
He couldn't get up, he was holding his neck and yelling.
Su Jin got off his horse at the dismounting stone at the entrance of the Yamen and rushed into the lobby of the Yamen. When Song Xiang saw Su Jin, he threw himself at her like a child seeing his parents. If Su Jin hadn't been able to hide quickly, he might have been
I want to hug Su Jin and cry bitterly.
Su Jin rolled her eyes at him, changed her smile and said loudly: "What are you doing? Commander Pan, you are shirtless in the cold weather, what kind of kung fu are you practicing?"
When Pan Jiang saw Su Jin, he became even more energetic and said hurriedly: "Your Majesty, Special Envoy, please give me some advice. We have been working hard to exterminate the bandits and maintain the peace of the place. It's fine if we don't say anything good. However, the magistrate has
Go and check our military pay. You know the rules in the army best. Even if we don’t want it, the soldiers will keep some pay to honor us. How can it be so unreasonable? After speaking, we stopped our duties;
Being so serious, embezzling military pay is a big deal, so we should act accordingly. I have brought my brothers who have been paid to bear the burden of the bush to plead guilty. I ask the magistrate to deal with it according to the law. If you want to beat, kill or cut into pieces, please do as you please."
Su Jin laughed and said: "So that's what happened. I'm asking for forgiveness. What's the big deal for me? It's hard to say anything to my brother. Get up first, put on clothes and warm yourself up. Otherwise, you'll get snot and tears from the cold."
Those who know it should be paid back, but those who don’t know it, my brothers were reluctant to part with this official position and wept in pain."
Pan Jiang frowned and said, "I won't get up unless I give you an explanation."
Su Jindao: "Of course there will be explanations. How is it appropriate to look like this? If you make this now, if the imperial court's order comes in a few days, it will make people laugh to death."
Pan Jiang heard something in the words and hesitated: "Is there an imperial decree?"
Su Jin waved his hand and said: "Close the door of the lobby and boil a few pots of hot tea to warm up the two conductors and the brothers. Anyone who has nothing to do is please retreat first. Anyone who is watching and talking nonsense at the door will be beaten with a big stick."
The government officials hurriedly followed the instructions. Su Jin commanded the government officials with more style than Song Xiang, but Song Xiang, an authentic prefect, was left aside and stood there in embarrassment, staring with big eyes.
The yamen lobby was closed and hot tea was brewed. Su Jin stretched out his hand and randomly pulled out the Jingtangmu pen and ink tokens on the magistrate's big case in the lobby, and pulled them all into a bamboo basket. He looked at the stunned yamen officials and said: "Look
What? Put down the big case and go out to the restaurant to order some food and drinks. It’s almost noon, don’t you want to eat?”
"Um...Special Envoy Su, are you going to drink and eat food in the lobby? Are you going to use the big stage used for trial cases?" Song Xiang couldn't bear it anymore and came up and asked.
"Well, what's the matter, Mr. Prefect, is there anything wrong? I want to invite Commander Pan and others to dinner here. The lobby is quite bright, and it's quite unique to have wine under the bright mirror hanging with the plaque."
Song Xiang winked continuously, Su Jin pretended not to know, Pan Jiang, Pan Shiyi and others were very happy when they saw this. They had come to rape Song Xiang today, but they didn't expect the envoy to follow him to rape him, which made them happy.
There was a vague feeling that Special Envoy Su and them were comrades in the trenches, and Su Jin was too embarrassed to invite them to get up again.
The wine and food were quickly cooked and set. In addition to various cold dishes, there were also two steaming large pots. The large table of the prefect's Yamen was suitable for hearing cases. There were more than 20 people on all sides, who looked a little rich.
At.
Su Jin half-pushed and half-tugged Song Xiang, who was looking unhappy, to sit down at the main seat. He reached out and patted open the mud seal of the wine jar, ordered people to fill everyone's wine bowls, and said with a smile: "Drinking in the lobby, but
For the first time in my life, this feeling is different; the plaque hanging on the mirror is the eyes of the Holy Sage, we
It is equivalent to speaking and doing things under the nose of the Holy One. After drinking this bowl of wine today, I will explain to you. I will only explain it once, but I can guarantee that I will never say a word under the nose of the Holy One.
It’s a lie, so you have to believe it even if you believe it, and you have to believe it even if you don’t believe it, do you understand?”
When Pan Jiang and others heard that Su Jin said that the plaque was the eyes of the Holy Emperor, they immediately felt uncomfortable. When they were making a fuss at first, they didn't expect that this was a place that represented the majesty of the imperial court, but a serious magistrate's hall where no fuss was allowed.
It is an ominous place where there are not only a hundred people but also fifty or sixty who are going to be executed. At this moment, when Su Jin said this, he suddenly felt worried and began to play the small drum.
Even though Magistrate Song didn't notice anything, why did the envoy feel that this matter was a little too much when he came?
Over there, Su Jin had already picked up the wine bowl and said with a smile: "After finishing this bowl, we can talk about it later."
Pan Jiang and Pan Shiyi looked at each other and felt worried. Anyway, there was already a big fuss today. It was useless to be afraid. It was better not to think about anything at all. The two of them picked up the wine bowls and drank all the wine.dd
