Ouyang Xiu stared at Su Jin for a while, then suddenly burst out laughing, tapping his knuckles on the table, making a "ta-da-da" sound. Su Jin smiled and said nothing, just tilted his head to look at him, and looked at him.
No one spoke, they were all trying to figure out each other's thoughts. The fastest novel updates
Ouyang Xiu finally couldn't help but break the silence and said: "Special Envoy Su, maybe you haven't realized the seriousness of the matter at all. If I were you, I would be worried to death, but you are still in the mood to talk to me.
Just kidding."
"The official is not joking." Su Jin said seriously: "The official is really asking for Mr. Zhongcheng's opinion. I will answer whatever you want me to answer."
Ouyang Xiu sneered and said: "It's a joke, tell the truth about what you did. If you do it, you did it. If you didn't do it, you didn't do it. I only want the facts, but you can say whatever I want you to say. This is
Are you falling into a trap with Officer Laben?"
Su Jin smiled and said: "So that's it. I think the Prime Minister knew the truth of the matter a long time ago, but he didn't secretly report it to the court. It seems that there is a deeper meaning. It seems that the official has thought too much. In this case, what else can I say?"
Ouyang Xiudao: "How did I ever know the truth of the matter? If I know the truth, will I still come to ask you?"
Su Jin stood up and walked to Ouyang Xiu, personally refilled the tea for Ouyang Xiu, bent down and whispered in his ear: "Master Zhongcheng, have you forgotten what I said? There are many friends among the lower officials in Yangzhou City; during my stay in Tianchang
, who did your Excellency interrogate? What words were said? What evidence was obtained? I know everything clearly. Not that I want to know.
, but even if I don’t want to know, someone insists on telling me, and they have good intentions, and I really can’t help it; so I know exactly what the convicted officials told you; I just wonder, since you have
Given the evidence, why didn’t you bring me to Beijing for questioning, or did you immediately secretly report me to the court? Isn’t there another deeper meaning?”
Ouyang Xiu slammed the table and shouted: "Bold! Do I still need to explain to you my actions? Is it true that you just said these things? No more gossip."
Su Jin sighed and said, "The truth is exactly what you know."
Ouyang Xiu took a breath and asked, "Are you really using military rations to provide relief?"
Su Jin nodded and said: "I did this alone. I forced Magistrate Song to board the pirate ship. The subordinate forged his official documents, stamped his seal, and opened a warehouse in his name.
He is indeed innocent."
Ouyang Xiu originally thought that Su Jin would deny it, and he was even prepared to produce evidence to force Su Jin to submit. If necessary, Song Xiang and the officials in custody would be brought up by him to confront Su Jin, but he did not expect that Su Jin would agree to it.
, and he took all the blame for the incident on himself.
"Also, Lucang Sigou Dasheng was forced to commit the crime by me with the emperor's gold medal. He did not have much responsibility for this matter. The blame lies entirely on me. It is not easy to be an official in the same dynasty until today. Sir, you have to take advantage of it.
It's best not to embarrass them if you use me." Su Jin simply let Gou Dasheng go as well, and continued to be angry to the end.
Ouyang Xiu admired Su Jin's courage and character. In comparison, Song Xiang was far behind. He only said one sentence, and Song Xiang told everything Su Jin had done and all the dirty tricks.
Water was poured on Su Jin. I don't know what Song Xiang would think if he heard Su Jin's words.
"Special Envoy Su, I know that you have some abilities, and I also know a few details about you. Being summoned by the emperor and entrusted with important tasks in a commoner's body is something that everyone in the world dreams of doing; and your ability to do things has also proved to the emperor.
There is nothing wrong with Master Sansi’s vision..."
"My lord, I'm so complimentary. It's just good luck." Su Jin was still modest.
"But how can you be so bold? Do you know what is the crime of unauthorized use of military rations? How much do you know about the court laws? unauthorized use of military rations is the same as unauthorized mobilization of the army. It is a serious crime of rebellion. It is not an exaggeration to punish the nine tribes. This is a taboo
You actually dare to do such things, I really don’t know if you are really smart or fake.”
Su Jin cupped his hands and said: "Master Zhongcheng, although he is not talented in his lower position, he also knows that this matter is a serious crime."
"I know you still do it?" Ouyang Xiu was extremely angry: "What if you make up for it afterwards? It's like... it's like..."
Ouyang Xiu couldn't think of a suitable metaphor for a while, so Su Jin helped him continue: "It's like sleeping with someone else's wife, then cleaning it and sending it back..."
Ouyang Xiu suddenly wanted to laugh. Although this metaphor was vulgar, it was very vivid: "You know very well in your heart that the military rations were used. This is an indisputable fact. Even if you replenish the military rations afterwards, so what? Can it change the fact that you used the military rations?
"
Su Jin lowered his head and said, "No!"
"What's even more ridiculous is that you followed the example and secretly forged the military ration seals of the Privy Council and the Third Division to cover it up. Not only could you not cover it up, but you also added a crime of forgery to yourself. It's really ridiculous."
"Sir, this is just superfluous. It's not just a dog's tail."
"Who are you arguing with? Ignorant people, they poked such a big loophole and acted as if nothing happened."
"Sir, please calm down. It is already a major crime to punish the nine clans. It doesn't matter if there is one more or one less. In this case, my lord, take me." Su Jin sighed.
"I was originally going to arrest you. I was originally here to investigate the case of your false edict to recruit gangsters, and the Huainan Road commander Wang Qinian and others who participated in your case of greedy for merit and recklessly advancing without caring about the life and death of the soldiers. When I came, the emperor had made it clear that you
You must be in a hurry to run an errand and are not familiar with the court's laws, so it is understandable that you made some mistakes. I ordered my officer to do my best to protect you during the investigation. Look how kind the emperor is to you, but what about you? You actually did it
Do you think you are worthy of the Emperor's care after doing such a stupid thing and letting down the Emperor's kindness?"
"I'm not a human being!" Su Jin looked sad and seemed deeply regretful.
"I won't tell you any more. This matter is too important. Even if the food supply matter is critical, I have to take you and deport you to Beijing. Don't blame me; for you
I highly appreciate your ability, but publicity is public and private is private, and I will never give in to national laws, so I have to offend you today." Ouyang Xiu said with a livid face.
Su Jin sighed: "I, Su Jin, have committed evil myself, so I don't blame others. I just feel sorry for the emperor and Lord Sansi, and I am afraid that this matter will affect Lord Sansi's reputation."
Ouyang Xiu looked at Su Jin coldly and said, "Don't remind me of this matter. You have committed such a serious crime and still expect Master Sansi to speak for you? You'd better save the time."
Su Jin said with a sad face: "It seems that the official is dead and no one will save me."
Ouyang Xiu also felt an inexplicable pain in his heart. He wanted to sell Master Sansi a favor, but the person he recommended would naturally have a great influence on him. He let Su Jin go, which was equivalent to helping Yan Shu add another element to the phase dispute.
He tried to help, but he didn't expect Su Jin to do such a thing, and he really couldn't help him cover it up.
However, with the tact and sophistication of Mr. Sansi, he should immediately clear up the relationship with Su Jin and handle it properly. It seems that before escorting Su Jin to Beijing, he needs to send someone to Beijing to report to Yan Shu quickly, so that he can be prepared and present himself in front of the emperor as soon as possible.
Clear up the relationship with Su Jin, or lay some foreshadowing in advance, so as to avoid the emperor suddenly blaming him when the incident comes.
After thinking about the details clearly, Ouyang Xiu calmed down and looked at Su Jin and said: "Envoy Su, since this is the case, there is nothing I can do. In order to take care of the envoy's face, I will not order anyone to put shackles on you.
Follow me peacefully and leave Yangzhou City for Beijing in an honorable manner. This is the best I can do for you."
Su Jin cupped his hands and said: "Thank you sir, but I have another request. I wonder if Lord Zhongcheng can grant it?"
Ouyang Xiudao: "As long as it doesn't break the law, it doesn't matter if you say it."
Su Jin said: "Of course I won't make things difficult for you. I just want to say goodbye to my family."
Ouyang Xiu sighed: "Why don't you understand that you are committing a major crime of exterminating the nine clans. Once convicted, your family members will be implicated. No one can escape the punishment, and they will all be escorted to Beijing together. What's the point of saying goodbye?"
"
Su Jin shook his head and said: "This person is just my confidante, not my family. She is upstairs at the back. I just want to say goodbye to her and say a few words."
Ouyang Xiu sighed: "After all, you are a romantic and passionate person. If you had not made a big mistake, depending on your talent and ability, it is unknown to everyone in the literary world that you may become the backbone of Chaotang in the future. It's a pity...! You go to see her, but you can't
Don't think about how to escape, there are my people everywhere."
Su Jin said: "Your Excellency, you need to worry. I will ask her to come out and say a few words in front of Your Excellency."
Ouyang Xiu hurriedly said: "Since you are a female family member, you don't have to do it in front of me. I believe you won't do anything stupid."
Su Jin said: "It doesn't matter. Speaking of which, this woman has met you several times. We have met before, so why should we avoid it now?"
Ouyang Xiu was stunned and said, "Does your confidante know me personally?"
Su Jin smiled slightly, clapped his hands and said loudly to the curtain at the back door of the lobby: "Please come out and see Mr. Ouyang, Miss Yan."
