The key person Su Jin mentioned was Chen Laogen who was rescued on Bagong Mountain. The fastest update
This man was an abandoned son of Zhu Shiyong. He thought he would be killed by the bandits after being caught by the bandits, but unexpectedly, Su Jin actually rescued him and settled him in Yangzhou City with good food and drink.
During this period of time, Su Jin had been busy dealing with Feng Jingyao, and almost forgot about him. This person was the witness who proved that Zhu Shiyong deliberately leaked the secrets of transporting grain to the bandits; and the physical evidence was the letter.
Su Jin turned the cottage upside down and couldn't find that letter. He didn't even find it in Shen Yaozu's treasure room. It was most likely torn up or thrown away by Shen Yaozu. Even so, With this Chen Laogen, as long as he follows this clue, Zhu Shiyong will definitely find it difficult to walk around.
In the current situation, Wang Qinian and Zhu Shiyong have obviously colluded. If Wang Qinian comes forward to expose Su Jin's actions, he will naturally put Su Jin to death. People cannot eat the heart of a tiger, and tigers are harmful to others. This matter cannot be said to be a grudge. Confused, if the festival in Luzhou was enough to make Zhu Shiyong want to kill Su Jin in order to cover up his crime of secretly releasing a death row prisoner like Scarface Hei Qi, then it would be a bit inexplicable for Wang Qinian to do this.
However, Su Jin quickly understood that Yan Biyun was right, the matter was not isolated. Once he became the food envoy, it meant that he had entered the vortex of phase competition; Wang Qinian was most likely to be influenced by others. In short, the struggle for power and interests will make many people become victims of strife inexplicably. If you don't have the awareness and means to move around, you don't know how you will die in the future.
Su Jin, who understood this, felt relaxed. Since it was a life-and-death game, there was nothing to say. It was impossible to withdraw from the matter, and Su Jin would never do so; launching an effective counterattack was fundamental. The solution, and Su Jin had a very powerful bargaining chip. If Qiu Dabao hadn't died in the battle, he would have been able to move Zhu Shiyong down almost effortlessly, because Qiu Dabao was one of the prisoners on death row who was secretly exchanged by Zhu Shiyong. This is a living thing. Witness.
Yan Biyun struggled up from Su Jin's arms, wiped her numb lips that were sucked by Su Jin, blushed and spat: "I just know how to bully the slave family. There are only people coming and going, and I don't know how to behave. "
Su Jin pulled her to sit down and told her about Chen Laogen. Yan Biyun suddenly realized that no wonder Su Jin was so happy suddenly. With such a person on hand, he could hit Zhu Shiyong's vital point.
"Have you thought about what to do? What the slave family is worried about is that you are not qualified to expose Zhu Shiyong at all. Once the matter is handed over to others, the result will be very different." Yan Biyun said worriedly.
"Transfer Chen Laogen to Mr. Yan and let him investigate." Su Jin said.
Yan Biyun bit her red lips and said thoughtfully: "Although my uncle is honored as the Third Chief of Staff, the Third Chief of Staff cannot handle the responsibilities of prisons. I am afraid that my uncle has no right to interfere with the official's audit."
Su Jin scratched his head and said, "That's a problem. I don't know which faction this censor Zhongcheng Ouyang Xiu belongs to. If he is reliable, it would be a good idea to leave it to him."
Yan Biyun suddenly remembered that Yan Shu's letter had not been finished yet, so he quickly picked up the letter and said: "It's all your fault. You're just talking nonsense. I've read half of your uncle's letter, and it happened to talk about this Mr. Ouyang. Maybe your uncle is right." This person will have an evaluation."
Su Jin hurriedly said: "That's right, read it quickly."
Yan Biyun continued to read the letter: "In view of the fact that this is the case that the Holy Lord has personally authorized the three halls to review this case, I have to remind you that the Holy Lord has been merciful; because the three halls' joint trial will take a long time, at least more than a month.
It will take half a year before the results can be summarized and reported to the Holy One. This also shows that the Holy One recognizes your contribution in Yangzhou and is giving you time to complete the food errands."
"Food service is the top priority at this time. If you handle this matter well, you will have room for maneuver even if you have made a huge mistake. I am not trying to embolden you by saying this, asking you to do something extraordinary.
, In fact, I quite believe Wang Qinian’s accusations. According to your temper, and you don’t know much about the taboos of the imperial court, it is very likely that these accusations against you are not false accusations; I can tell you honestly.
You made it clear that you were wary of me, which surprised me. You may have thought that I was just using you to compete for position. It is true that if the food affairs are handled well, it will indeed be beneficial to me, but you also
How can we not benefit from it? Besides, we have a lot of talented people in the Song Dynasty. No matter who is going to do this job, he may not be able to do his best, but it will never be a complete mess. Without him, the emperor supports me, and I will be in charge."
Yan Biyun frowned and put down the letter and looked at Su Jin without saying a word.
Su Jin understood that Yan Biyun was somewhat blaming himself. If a person is alienated from someone in his heart, others will notice it no matter how hard you hide it. This is intuition; and Su Jin's concealment skills are not good enough, and he is not close to Yan Shu.
He often did not follow Yan Shu's words. Take this incident as an example. If Su Jin really regarded Yan Shu as one of his own, how could he hide the details from him? The writing only gave a general outline, so Yan Shu was caught off guard in the court.
.
Su Jin smiled awkwardly and said: "Keep reading. If you have anything to say, I'll talk to you later. But I can explain to you my feelings. In this world, I can't pin my destiny on a certain person or a certain group of people."
People; although I am not deeply involved in the world, I know that there are no permanent friends in officialdom and court. How can a friendship that has not been tested be considered a true friendship? For example, Brother Li Chong, this is true friendship, and I can risk my life.
Leave it to him, but he will never make fun of my life."
Yan Biyun sighed and said softly: "I understand what you are saying. In fact, my uncle is suspected of taking advantage of you, but you should not make random guesses about him. The Nu family grew up around him and admired my uncle very much. He is definitely not
The kind of person you imagine."
Su Jin held her hand and said: "You are wrong. I have never maliciously speculated on him. It's just that Mr. Yan and I have not experienced the test of life and death. I just can't be sure. Don't worry, he is your uncle."
My uncle, I won't be too far away from him."
Yan Biyun had nothing to say, and Su Jin's cautiousness could not be said to be wrong. Compared with his bold style, this was an extreme contrast in behavior and psychology. In fact, it is not difficult to understand that it was precisely because he had no ability to do so.
He will work hard to get things done if he relies on and trusts a backer, even if he uses some extraordinary means; Su Jin is still young, so it is normal for him to be a little radical.
Yan Biyun continued to read: "The reason why I chose you to take on this responsibility is that, like Bao Zheng and others, I believe that you are a talent that can be developed and your future is limitless, whether it is from a public or private perspective.
, are all the best candidates; besides, you and Biyun are deeply in love, I like Biyun the most, how can I not support her favorite person? In short, no matter what you think in your heart, you must be consistent with me.
There must be no deviation when it comes to food service. If you make a mistake, the Holy Father will not forgive you. This matter is more important than anything else. If you mess up this matter, you will never have another chance in the future."
Su Jin nodded secretly, deeply agreeing; Yan Shu's words were like digging into his heart. No matter what, his love for Yan Biyun was true. He loved the house as much as the bird, which would not be too bad for him; more importantly, he was the leader of the food service.
It was just as he said, absolutely nothing could go wrong.
"I don't know Ouyang Xiu very well. He seems to have a bad reputation. He is usually aloof and arrogant, and is despicable. He is despised by all the courtiers. However, the Holy Emperor values him very much, and the court discusses important matters.
You often ask him for his opinion by name; however, although this person has a bad reputation, his actions are not too outrageous; this time it was him who took the initiative to ask Ying to take over your affairs, which relieved me from the dilemma, otherwise once the case was settled
It will be difficult if you fall into the hands of the two governments. Afterwards, he also had some exchanges with me, and his words seemed to be protective of you. However, I thought it was not trustworthy enough. The best policy is to be more careful in everything. You can
Try your best to cooperate with his investigation, the Yushitai is full of villains and cannot be easily offended."
Su Jin frowned. He originally wanted to use Yan Shu's evaluation of Ouyang Xiu to understand him. Yan Shu said a lot but said nothing. He still couldn't figure out Ouyang Xiu's details. It seemed that he still had to get to know him by himself.
Yan Biyun continued: "The progress of food affairs is quite slow. Except for Qin Feng Road and Yongxing Army, which are located on the northwest front line of the battle and cannot do anything, the rest of the 23rd Road of the Song Dynasty have implemented compulsory
Road closures and measures to restrict grain circulation; according to your suggestions, checkpoints have been set up on the official roads between states, and the emperor has specifically authorized the Gyeonggi Imperial Army to send 100,000 troops to each state; since November 20, the date of the imperial court's restriction, the black market of grain and rice in state capitals has
They all disappeared, but there is no food in the market, and the food shortage is even worse."
"All states have issued orders to sell grains compulsorily, and they have achieved results. However, the food gap is still as huge as 30 million stone. After profiteers heard the news, they hid the food deeper. In addition, the state governments acted ineffectively and even colluded with profiteers.
We have informed each other that I have asked the emperor to take more severe measures, hoping that something can be done. At present, I hope that you will complete the errands on Huainan Road as soon as possible. As long as Huainan Road is cleared first, profiteers and colluded officials will be severely punished.
Taking this as a lesson can deter other states, and things will definitely turn around."
"Although the three departments of other state capitals have also sent personnel to handle food services, most of them are ineffective. Therefore, you need to be the first to show off. I can use this as a breakthrough to publicize this matter. The emperor also has a decree to punish profiteers on Huainan Road.
Officials who collude with others must be punished with the heaviest penalties. This is a method of killing chickens and frightening monkeys. Therefore, when you act, your methods should not be too gentle. You would rather bear the name of a cruel official than tolerate hesitation, otherwise you will not be able to deter other states.
The food service will not be successful. Having said that, you can think about it. The new year is approaching and time is quite tight, so you still need to put in more effort."
After reading the letter, Su Jin fell into deep thought. It seemed that everything was not going well. Yan Shu's only hope was that he could quickly solve the food problem on Huainan Road, kill some, imprison some, and exile some, so that he could
People in other states and capitals are afraid to wait and see, so things will be much easier to handle.
"The letter is burned. There are some words in it that no one should know." Su Jin raised his eyes and said calmly.
Yan Biyun hummed and threw the letter into the brazier. The flames jumped up and turned into ashes instantly.
