After Su Jin left, Ouyang Xiu, who got up early in the morning to greet Su Jin, was no longer sleepy. He returned to the official post office and looked through the small mountain of case files.: Read the novel
Ouyang Xiu has not been idle these days. Su Jin pushed the case of Yangzhou officials colluding with Feng Jingyao to Ouyang Xiu, making him, the imperial envoy who originally came to investigate Su Jin, suddenly become the chief judge of the Yangzhou officialdom case.
However, Ouyang Xiu did not refuse. If such a case was reported, the Yushitai would still need to intervene in the trial. At this moment, what he did was considered his duty.
During the interrogation process, Ouyang Xiu gained a new understanding of Su Jin. Such a young man's ingenious methods and fearless courage in dealing with Feng Jingyao and Yangzhou officials were truly astounding.
What is unimaginable is that in a situation where almost all officials, big and small, in Yangzhou have become Feng Jingyao's minions, he can calmly deal with it and his secret actions are not noticed by the officials. This shows that this man has a strong mind and a meticulous thinking.
Ouyang Xiu naturally wanted to interrogate Feng Jingyao, but when he saw Feng Jingyao, who was almost crazy, and the bloody wounds on his body, as well as Feng Jingyao's broken half of his fingers that were constantly torn and bleeding, Ouyang Xiu clearly felt a chill.
Su Jin is not a kind person. He cut off Feng Jingyao's index finger in public and used it as a sign to make a fingerprint. This move was so vicious that it made people laugh. He seemed not to be afraid of other people's comments at all. As for making plans, deceiving people with false complaints, and preparing croton soup for enema,
He even threatened to plug up the place of reincarnation with a cork and other vicious methods, but compared with this, they pale into insignificance.
What kind of person is this? Ouyang Xiu tried hard to figure out Su Jin's acting style. Just as he often did when he lived in Yushitai for a long time, he liked to classify people in the court and what kind of people would do what kind of things.
, what kind of things can only be done by someone, this is what he likes to think about.
But this Su Jin cannot be classified. If you say that he is a humble gentleman and has no fight with the world, it is simply a joke. Since he was in Yingtian Mansion, this person has been very restless; if it weren't for him
After being in such a mess in Yingtian Mansion, Prince Teng Zhao Zongdan might not be shut up like a prisoner in Yingtian Mansion like he is now.
After Bao Zheng sent the German troops to clear out the private soldiers everywhere, Zhao Zongdan became a lonely man. If the Holy Spirit had not cared about blood and family ties, Zhao Zongdan would have been killed; as for Tang Jie, his death was even more unjust.
The dignified magistrate died in the inn inexplicably, and there is still no explanation.
When this man arrived in Yangzhou, he immediately stirred up chaos. It was just a matter of exterminating the bandits and quelling the civil unrest. He also involved so many officials. Now he has provoked Wang Qinian, the commander of Huainan Road, and a group of court elders to try to seize his son.
Braid, I wish I could put him in jail immediately.
Ouyang Xiu naturally understood that this was related to the competition for a certain position, but he had to say that Special Envoy Su was not an economical person. As long as he restrained himself a little, he would not cause so much hatred. It was obvious that Su Jin was not that kind at all.
You should be a cautious person with your tail between your legs.
However, this person was quite talented in literature. Several of his poems were circulated by Yan Shu in both the government and the public.
The son of an aristocratic family who doesn't know how to farm is the one.
But looking at this person's methods of doing things, none of them can be compared with those exquisite and elegant poems. Even his origin is just a joke. He is just a businessman. He says that there is no distinction between scholars, farmers, industry and merchants, but in this world
In everyone's heart, merchants are the most despised; they are also vulgar and despicable in their behavior, and they are completely rogue. Even when he arrested Feng Jingyao, he used incense to seduce Feng Jingyao. This kind of behavior can almost
It ruined his reputation, but he didn't seem to care.
All in all, this man is a figure of contradiction. He has the face of a good man in troubled times, writes poems about elegant people, but is vicious and resolute in his actions. Sometimes he is more cunning than an old fox who has been in the officialdom for many years.
The crowing of roosters began outside the window. Ouyang Xiu blew out the candles and stood up to open the window. A blast of cold air hit his face, sobering up his chaotic mind.
He was originally going to ask Su Jin something today, but the interrogator told him about it. At the time, Ouyang Xiu thought he was trying to frame Su Jin, but later he found that he could hardly figure out any clues about Su Jin.
On the contrary, it made him uneasy, so he wanted to ask the person involved indirectly to see his reaction to judge whether the matter was true.
Su Jin can do anything. Maybe that thing is true. If it is true, the matter will be serious, so serious that he dare not even think about it.
"Lord Zhongcheng, breakfast is ready. Please come and have your meal." The personal attendant reported outside the door.
Ouyang Xiu hummed, closed the window, thought for a while and said to the door: "Come here."
An attendant opened the curtain and entered, bowing and saying: "Your Majesty's orders."
Ouyang Xiudao: "Has the messenger sent to Shouzhou City returned?"
The attendant said: "We have only been sent out for two days, and we will not be able to come back until night at the earliest. Shouzhou is more than 700 miles away from here, and even a fast horse can't bear it."
Ouyang Xiu nodded and said: "As soon as he comes back, ask him to come to see me immediately; send someone to the Yamen to watch. If Mr. Su, the food envoy, goes to the Yamen, ask him to see me immediately."
The entourage agreed and withdrew. After Ouyang Xiu finished his breakfast, he ordered several important prisoners to be mentioned and started a new round of interrogation focusing on that incident.
…
When Su Jin woke up, it was already noon, the lingering fragrance was still lingering on his pillow, and a few black hairs were scattered around, but he was the only one left in the room.
Su Jin tried his best to recall what he had done last night, but unfortunately, he did not lose any fragments of his memory. He remembered clearly from entering the house to falling asleep.
Su Jin slapped herself. She was so beautiful and had such a good opportunity. She actually fell asleep holding Yan Biyun's smooth and fragrant body. Is there something wrong with her?
When thinking about what happened last night, the little brother below immediately seemed to prove something, and was so hard that it was a bit embarrassing. Su Jin spat, sighed and got out of bed. What a good opportunity, it was wasted like this, can it be done next time?
It's almost impossible to get into Yan Biyun's bed.
There was a sound of footsteps outside the door, and Xiao Sui'er walked in with a hot towel, her expression a little dull; Su Jin had a guilty conscience and knew the reason for this little girl's unkind expression; wasn't it said that the distinction between superiority and inferiority was very strict in ancient times? He was one of them, too.
How could Xiao Sui'er's owner end up with this girl who always looked at him? It was really a headache.
Su Jin sighed and started to wash up. Xiao Sui'er said: "Master, why are you sighing? Aren't you living a happy life? You went back to the inn in the middle of the night and walked into Miss Yan's room. Isn't this teaching people to gossip?"
Su Jin looked sideways and said, "Who is gossiping? There are family members upstairs and downstairs. Besides, I just came here to get a warm bed and didn't do anything. You girl is a bit nosy."
Xiao Sui'er pursed her lips and said: "My maid is only thinking about the reputation of you and Miss Yan. You have no marriage contract. Besides, the old lady has not agreed to this matter. If the young master does this now, what if the old lady's side
If you don’t agree, what will Miss Yan do in the future?”
Su Jin didn't expect this. The reason this girl came up with was just and above board and couldn't be refuted.
"Well, what you said makes sense. It was me who was abrupt this time, and I won't do it next time. Sui'er seems to have grown up now and has considered the problem very carefully."
Xiao Sui'er said: "I'm no longer a child. Only the young master always treats the servant as a child. He only tells them everything and doesn't tell me anything."
Su Jin smiled and said: "You are said to be fat and you are still panting. Have you grown up? If I remember correctly, you seem to be only fifteen. Does this count as growing up?"
Xiao Sui'er twisted her body and said: "I will be sixteen during the Chinese New Year, and in the countryside, you will get married at the age of fifteen, and you may become a mother at the age of sixteen. The young master doesn't understand anything."
Su Jin wiped the water stains on his face, sat on a chair and asked Xiao Sui'er to help him comb his hair, and said deliberately: "It turns out that Sui'er reminded me to find a family for you. Tell me that I like that boy."
I will make the decision for you and give you a thick dowry so that you will have enough food and clothing in the future."
Xiao Sui'er suddenly fell silent, and the hand combing her hair stopped moving. Su Jin looked back in surprise, and saw Xiao Sui'er standing there with tears in her eyes, with tears on her pretty little face.
Su Jin hurriedly said: "Why are you crying? What's wrong with you?"
Xiao Sui'er stamped her feet and said: "I know that I think I am getting in the way and want to send my maid away a day earlier. Don't worry about it. I don't want me to serve you, so I will go to Yunshui Temple to be a nun. It will save you."
It looks annoying.”
Su Jin burst into laughter, stood up, wiped Xiao Sui'er's tears, and said comfortingly: "So you are not looking for someone else? I may have mistaken your intention."
Xiao Sui'er raised her little face and cried: "My little maid won't go anywhere, I will just serve...my whole life. If I feel annoyed one day, just tell me, my little maid...picked up the package and left; but I don't want to leave.
Master... my little maid's words are a little rude, and I know it, but I just can't control myself. I just ask you to forgive me and don't drive me away."
Su Jin never expected that a joke would elicit such a big reaction. Seeing Xiao Sui'er's sad look, Su Jin was a little moved. Others around Su Jin didn't dare to say it, but as long as there was danger, Xiao Sui'er would definitely respond first.
If someone steps forward to protect him, Su Jin can definitely guarantee this.
I remember that time in Yingtian Mansion, Yan Shu went to the courtyard to look for him but couldn't find him, so he sent a public servant to the whole city to inquire about him. Everyone thought they were trying to get him. When he was found by the public servant on the street, Xiao Sui'er rushed up like a tigress.
, he almost pinched the official's arm to bleed; if it were Huan Niang and the others, they might die together with him, but if they wanted to fight, they would never be able to do it.
Su Jin understood this, and it was hard to tell whether he would die with him or try his best to protect himself. However, in his heart, Su Jin recognized Xiao Sui'er's actions.
Jin is not a kind person, and he naturally refuses to kill without hesitation when faced with life and death matters, so he hopes that someone can fight together like him, rather than passively accept and then die.
Su Jin reached out and took Xiao Sui'er's hand and said softly: "Sui'er, what stupid things are you saying? As long as you are willing to follow me, how can I drive you away? I'm afraid that one day you don't want to follow me, and I will stop you.
I can't stop you. I was joking with you just now, why did you take it seriously? You are such a child, you can't help but tease me."
Xiao Sui'er shook her head softly and said: "Sir, how could the little maid leave you on her own? No, unless you drive the little maid away."
Su Jin smiled and said: "Master...how can I bear it?"
Xiao Sui'er blushed and her heart beat. This was the first time Su Jin said such words to her. She was at a loss for a moment and felt a little dizzy. She hurriedly put her hands on the back of the chair to calm herself down.
Su Jin was also a little embarrassed. Why did he say these teasing words casually? Xiao Sui'er was still underage. Although he was also sixteen years old, the soul in his skin was a young man. He couldn't help but talk to the little Lolita.
This is a crime.
While blaming herself, Su Jin couldn't help but look at the snow-white back of Xiao Sui'er's neck exposed when she lowered her head. Her eyes slid down in her heart, and she was suddenly surprised to find that without her noticing, this little girl had already developed.
Very good, her chest is already bulging, as if she is holding two little rabbits, and her body also exudes a nice and light girly body fragrance; her lowered eyelids, her pretty pink face, her round and straight nose,
With her small and rosy mouth, she looks like a beautiful child.
Su Jin was surprised. It turned out that this girl was indeed not a child anymore, she had indeed grown up.
