Sinong Temple added several new ministers, and all the work that had been stripped out returned, but Su Ren was still idle. After the imperial court opened the seal, Su Ren went to court on time every day, and then returned to the courtyard of Sinong Temple.
Inside, watching Tian Qianqiu inspecting, classifying, annotating, and distributing the documents sent by the temple ministers, he just sat and drank tea with a smile. If there was anyone familiar with him, he would say hello, hand over the tea, and chat a few words.
Everyone felt that Su Ren, the temple minister, was easier to talk to than Er Kuan.
There were originally no trees in the courtyard of Sinong Temple. At Su Ren's request, a tall ancient locust tree was transplanted from outside the city, and a gardener was specially hired to take care of it. It slowly came back to life.
Su Ren became more relaxed and content with this tree. From time to time, he even took his sons Su Kang, Cao Xiang, Dang Li, Su Huier, and sometimes Liu Ju to sit under the tree and talk. Su Ren's erudition was well known, regardless of whether
He knew a lot about the mountains and rivers and the products there, and his words were humorous, which made several children laugh. If it was time for dinner, Su Ren would cook himself and prepare a big pot of food for all the officials.
Let's try it together. Although the appearance is not very good, the taste is definitely not bad. Many officials in Sinong Temple think that it is not bad to have such an adult. At least Wang Wenshu did not dare to come to Sinong Temple to get one.
In fact, it's not that Wang Wenshu didn't dare to come to Sinong Temple to get people, it's because except for a marquis like Su Ren in Sinong Temple, the other temple ministers and top officials with titles are already very rare, let alone the ones among them.
Why do no dignitaries enter the Sinong Temple? One thing is that Erkuan of the Sinong Temple is strict in doing things. Although he is in charge of the money and food of the treasury, he does not take any money from his own family. The upper officials are honest, and the lower officials are naturally difficult to attack.
, and who is His Majesty the Emperor? Any matter that requires money will definitely fall on Sinong Temple, and in order to deal with the Huns, the Han Dynasty's treasury before Su Ren's arrival, although there was some balance, could not withstand the current emperor's spending.
Even for a long time, Sinong Temple had to live by moving here and there, and the treasury was empty and could only run away. Later, the great power of Sinong Temple was divided between the emperor and the Prime Minister's Office, and then Sinong Temple was
He really became an idle prince, and his family was naturally empty.
Seeing the officials who were taken away by the Tingwei Mansion from different yamen every day, the people of Sinong Temple felt somewhat happy. In the past, who of these people gave Sinong Temple face? Now, Sinong Temple has become the best safe haven.
Of course, there are also people who want to squeeze into Sinong Temple so that they can cool down under the big tree of Su Ren. Unfortunately, Su Ren has no good face towards anyone. Except the prime minister, he can still talk to Su Ren after the court.
In other words, before the others could reach Su Ren, they were turned back by Su Ren's cold gaze.
Gongsun He also wanted to enter Sinong Temple, because according to Wang Wenshu's investigation, he was the culprit of the tribute incident, but Su Ren was still unwilling. Gongsun He approached Su Ren several times about this matter, but Su Ren never let go.
"I said, you can't cross the river and demolish the bridge and kill the donkey! Don't forget that I borrowed money in times of crisis. How many days have passed and you forgot about it?"
Su Ren chuckled: "Didn't I pay back all the money? As we agreed, I'll give you more..." Turning to look at Tian Qianqiu, Tian Qianqiu said quickly: "One hundred and eight thousand gold."
"Yes, I will give you an extra one hundred and eighty thousand gold. Even the richest family is not so shady, right? In just one month, it is almost enough to make two cents profit. You have made a lot this time."
Gongsun He waved his hand: "If you want it, I'll have someone bring it to you right away! Brother, you don't know what kind of life we have been living these days. You pat your butt and leave after the court every day. We all
Those who are kept by His Majesty are all living in fear."
"What? There are more than a hundred people, and your majesty still doesn't think it's enough? Are you going to kill all the princes in one go?" Su Ren laughed: "If that's the best, let me know when the time comes, and I will send someone to send my seal immediately.
, if Your Majesty still feels that it is not enough, I can donate all my family property and buy one life."
"Nonsense! Is your Majesty such a person? I mean that Wang Wenshu."
"Oh, him! What's wrong with this guy? I don't believe he dares to do anything to you?"
Gongsun He sighed: "It's hard to say now. This Wang Wenshu is getting more and more bold now. You know the methods of the Tingwei Mansion. Wang Wenshu can get you any confession you want. Since Zhao Zhou
At first, the tribute case was just one of them, but now the rebellion case has been tried. I heard that evidence is being collected to substantiate Ding Yi's witchcraft case. More and more people are involved. You can go out and see the princes of Chang'an.
How much is left of the family now? Except for us marquises who fought hard to get back, those marquises who were either the founding marquis or the late emperor are almost gone."
"You should go and tell His Majesty this."
"Who dares!" Gongsun He sighed: "As long as His Majesty keeps him, there must be new developments with Wang Wenshu. You all left yesterday, and Your Majesty left me, the servant and Gongsun Hong behind, so that we can
I specifically read the latest news about Wang Wenshu." Gongsun He looked around to make sure no one was there before he said: "Guess who has been involved?"
"who?"
"Marquis of Zhen'an!"
"Old General Li?!" Su Ren was also surprised. He had no idea that the matter had developed to such a serious level: "Li Danghu is still guarding the border at Yumen, Li Ling is in Nanhai, and Li Gan has gone to Mayi.
General Li's Marquis was brought back with his life in the Battle of Mayi, Your Majesty wants to touch him?"
Gongsun He took a deep breath: "Your Majesty did not say anything, this is just Wang Wenshu's testimony from Tingwei Mansion."
"Whose testimony?"
Gongsun Heneng saw the anger on Su Ren's face and quickly pulled Su Ren to sit down: "I was already surprised when I saw the Marquis of Zhen'an. Who cares about who that person is? It doesn't matter who he is. It is said that a few days ago
And your name is on it."
Su Ren's eyes were firm: "I don't care, but General Li must not be touched. This Wang Wenshu is so reckless. It seems that I have to go to the Tingwei Mansion." Suddenly Su Ren turned to look at Gongsun He: "You kid
,Hahaha……"
"Hahaha..." Gongsun He also laughed loudly: "Wang Wenshu is right, you really have Nilian, this guy's eyes are very poisonous! But Wang Wenshu really sent the confession written by the Marquis of Zhen'an to His Majesty
After being scolded by His Majesty in front of me, Wang Wenshu must not dare to do this again."
"This guy has gone crazy. I really want to go to Tingwei's Mansion this time. Even if it's not for General Li, I still have to give His Majesty some face. Otherwise, someone like me, who has been chatting with me for a whole afternoon, has no idea.
The actions don’t make sense.”
Gongsun He raised his thumb, stood up and walked away without saying another word to Su Ren. In the afternoon, Su Ren took Huang Shisan and Man Niu in an ox cart to the gate of Tingwei Mansion again. Still the same.
Even though the door was closed, it was still so gloomy, but the weather was nice and the sun was shining very comfortably on her body. This time, Su Ren was dressed like no ordinary person at first glance. The dazzling pearl on the hair crown of the brocade attire was obvious just by looking at it.
It was no ordinary product. The jade pendant hanging on his belt made a very pleasant sound as Su Ren moved around, not to mention that there were two guys with fierce faces following behind him.
Anyone who dared to come to Tingwei to cause trouble would naturally have to follow the rules of etiquette, so the clerk in front of the door very wisely bowed and saluted with a smile: "Hello, Su Hou."
"Well! Go and tell Wang Wenshu that Grandpa is here to investigate!"
The clerk hurriedly bent his waist a little more and went in respectfully to report. Su Ren, Huang Shisan, and Man Niu stood at the gate of Tingwei Mansion, as content as if they were parading in the street. Soon, the people of Chang'an City
The good guys learned the news that Su Ren had gone to Tingwei Mansion to investigate the crime, and many brave guys hurried over to witness this ever-lasting anecdote.
Su Ren is the general of the Hussars of Yong'an and the chief minister of agriculture. Wang Wenshu's title is very small. Tingwei is only listed in the Jiuqing. There is still a gap between him and an important minister like Su Ren. Therefore, when the door of Tingwei's mansion opens,
Wang Wenshu personally led people to welcome him out. There was no obsequiousness, no flattery, and no fear. Wang Wenshu invited Su Ren, the god of plague, into the Tingwei Mansion in a very befitting of his status and demeanor. He could hear the shouts of the Chang'an onlookers behind Su Ren.
There was a burst of exclamation.
No one knows what Su Ren and Wang Wenshu are talking about inside, but this does not hinder the guesses and predictions of these spectators. Some people say that last time Wang Wenshu took the lead in killing General Su, this time General Su will definitely not give Wang Wenshu a good meal.
.Some people also say that Wang Wenshu is in great power now, is highly appreciated by His Majesty, and the case he is handling is definitely a major case of eternity. General Su must have been unable to resist, and came to Wang Wenshu to make peace, leaving some harsh words at the door.
He was also covering up for himself again. Some people said that although Wang Wenshu was handling a case designated by His Majesty, the involvement was getting more and more involved and there was already a falling out in the court. The ministers collectively advised him, and His Majesty asked General Su, who was not afraid of anyone, to
When people came to give orders to Wang Wenshu, except for General Su, everyone in the court was doing nothing.
"What you said is wrong. It was Wang Wenshu who arrested General Su's people when he was investigating the case, so General Su is here to ask for people."
After hearing this analysis, many people nodded, as if it was indeed the case. Naturally, some people also objected: "Why haven't I heard that Wang Wenshu arrested General Su's men? My aunt's cousin's boy is working in the Su family."
Servants, he never mentioned that any of General Su’s people were brought into Tingwei’s mansion by Wang Wenshu.”
"What can a servant know? My cousin works as a servant at the academy. I heard that Wang Wenshu took away several people from the academy a few days ago."
"Yes, yes, what I saw were students from the academy."
"Does that make sense! The academy was founded by General Su, and those students are all students of General Su. This Wang Wenshu really doesn't know the heights of the world. He even arrests the students in the academy. I think he has had enough life."
"Haha, this guy should have died long ago. You see, he won't survive this year."
Speculations were blowing through Chang'an City like the wind. More and more people poured into the originally deserted street in front of Tingwei Mansion. They all wanted to see the results they thought they would, but they did not dare to go forward and talk to the clerk at the door.
Inquiring, just standing far away, waiting, and discussing. (To be continued)
