When Ma Yue arrived at the Assassin's Mansion, Hanyang Changshi Gaixun had already arrived.

He has never seen Gai Xun, but he has always heard people talk about Gai Xun's name, and even his own filial piety has the credit of Gai Xun's joint recommendation.

Gai Xun looked to be in his forties, about the same age as Liang Hu, but he looked a little more vicissitudes than Liang Hu, with a little silver star in his black hair. Gai Xun has a square face, and despite his age, his posture is still tall and strong. He doesn't look like an old man.

"Ma Yue has seen Lord Thorn Shi and seen Gai Changshi."

"Saburo doesn't have to be polite, look at this letter."

Gai Xun nodded at Ma Yue, he was the same as Ma Yue, the two had never seen each other, but they always heard Ma Yue's name, and they also had a little understanding of Ma Yue's actions, and they had a good impression of this young undergraduate.

Liang Hu handed Ma Yue a volume of letters, Ma Yue took the letter and did not open it immediately, but raised his eyes to look at the expressions of the two, Liang Hu looked solemn, and Gai Xun was expressionless.

The atmosphere was not too relaxed.

Ma Yue opened the book and only took a cursory glance, and he understood the ins and outs of the matter, and also knew why Liang Hu summoned him to discuss the matter.

Su Zhenghe impeached Wu Wei for guarding Huang Jun too much, and Huang Jun's various crimes were listed in the book. Such as tyrannizing people's land, forcing people to be slaves, robbing good families, and corrupting the law......

This bastard is like an earth emperor.

Ma Yue pulled the bamboo slip, couldn't help but grow his mouth, and said: "This Huang Jun is simply a heinous crime, and killing it is ...... What are you looking for from me, sir? ”

Liang Hu frowned and said, "Huang Jun is indeed a corrupt official, and the old man knows it. But this Huang Jun can't move, nearly half of Huang Jun's family wealth is sent to the palace of the eunuch in Luoyang, and if he moves, he will cut off the eunuch's financial route, even if it is the teacher's influence in the imperial court, it is difficult to shake the eunuch in the slightest, and he is afraid of causing a big disaster. ”

Liang Hu's timidity was once again presented in front of Ma Yue's eyes, this time Ma Yue's reaction was not so strong, he was used to Liang Hu's shortcomings, no one was perfect.

Suddenly Ma Yue was bored with all this, for politics. He yawned, squinted his eyes and said, "Then leave him alone, let him continue in the fish and meat country." ”

said so on his lips, but secretly said to Xiao Jiujiu in his heart, instead of sending a letter to His Majesty, it would be convenient to send a letter to the big bald head Li Chen, so that the lawless ringing horse leader could mix into the county town and kill this corrupt official. The more I think about it, the more I feel that it is very feasible, not only can I eliminate such a big trouble for the people of Wuwei, Huang Jun's family has a lot of property, and I think Li Chen will also sell his own good.

Unconsciously, Ma Yue's mind has become like this, and he no longer acts only on his own likes and dislikes, but is more close to ...... Benefit.

has also lost the respect for life that it once had.

Kill a Huang Jun, his clansmen Zhuang Ke, domestic servants, and private soldiers are destined to be killed, as long as he sends a letter to Li Chen, thousands of heads will fall to the ground.

It was something he had never thought about when he was younger, but now it was natural to think of it.

Liang Hu pinched his eyebrows and said: "The problem is that the person who submitted this book is Su Zhenghe, this is just a copy, Su Zhenghe himself has already gone to Luoyang with a quick horse, and he has no power to return to the sky." ”

Ma Yue couldn't help but gasp when he heard this. Unexpectedly, Su Zhenghe actually used such extreme means and reported directly to the imperial court, which was too ruthless.

"Since Su Zhenghe has reported to the imperial court, if the old man does not punish Huang Jun, he will be disloyal to His Majesty, and if he is punished, it will be disadvantageous to him. Yuan Gu, it is better to punish Huang Jun and then execute Su Zhenghe, how about returning the eunuch to a favor? ”

Gai Xun raised his eyebrows lightly and said, "If I remember correctly, Su Zhenghe is the first disciple of the Hanmen to be promoted in Liangzhou, my lord?" ”

Liang Hu sighed and said: "Yes, the old man in the first year of Guanghe was ordered by His Majesty to supervise Liangzhou, and the first to be promoted was Su Zhenghe, who was born in Liangzhou and grew up in Liangzhou. After entering my assassination history, diligent and hardworking, the old man was promoted to the assassin history, running around all day long, dutiful, and it has been five years. ”

Gai Xun said: "In the past five years, Su Zhenghe has served as the three counties, and he is not afraid of the powerful to supervise the place for you, is there anything wrong?" ”

"Zhenghe was first engaged in Hanyang, because of some grudges with your personality, when the old man was also a middleman to coordinate the relationship between the two of you, and then transferred him to Jincheng, and then transferred to Wudu because of Wudu's infectious disease, Jincheng was in charge of Han Yue, and there has been no mistake until now."

Gai Xun nodded and said, "Putting aside the old things in Hanyang County for the time being, Su Zhenghe is like the eagle vulture you raised, you have to be fierce to hunt for you." Now is the time to be fierce, you have raised him for so many years, but you want to kill the eagle when he is finally full-fledged, so what is the point of you raising an eagle vulture? ”

Liang Hu nodded, but did not speak, the reason why he called Gai Xun to discuss the matter was because he knew that Gai Xun and Su Zhenghe often had friction when they worked together in the same county in their early years, and the two had enmity. He originally wanted to kill Su Zhenghe and Zhankou, and he hoped that Gai Xun would support him, because he couldn't make up his mind himself. Summoning Ma Yue is to hope that Ma Yue will be the knife in his hand and execute Su Zhenghe for him.

But he never expected Gai Xun to be so open-minded and willing to speak for the enemy.

Liang Hu touched his beard and said to Ma Yue: "San Lang, what do you think, what should you do as a teacher?" ”

Ma Yue said humbly: "What Gai Changshi said is also what the students think, that is, Huang Jun has a backer in the imperial court, and it is against your reputation that such a corrupt official in the township appears under the rule of Mr. Su engaged in not afraid of power, wholeheartedly follow Mr. to do things, Mr. not only should not kill him, there is a way to get a daughter, confidants are hard to find, now Su engaged in returning from Luoyang, Mr. not only does not blame him, but appreciates him more than before, how can he not be more dedicated to doing things for you? Therefore, the students thought that Huang Jun should be killed, and Su Zhenghe should be rewarded! ”

Liang Hu nodded yes, and Gai Xun clapped his hands happily and smiled: "It is worthy of being the proud protégé of Lord Assassin Shi, he is a bird that kills two birds with one stone, Gai Xun also feels that Huang Jun should be killed, and Su Zhenghe should be rewarded." ”

Liang Hu sighed, maybe he was really wrong, he thought that Gai Xun would speak for himself and support his decision, but he didn't want Gai Xun to be so broad-minded. recruited Ma Yue to let this martial arts student be the executor of Su Zhenghe's execution, but he didn't want Ma Yue to think that Su Zhenghe should not die.

Liang Hu sat down weakly, waved his hand and gave the eviction order, he remembered that he had entered the Hongdu Gate to study, apprenticed to Yiguan to learn calligraphy during the time, the Han Emperor's kindness gave him the hope of changing his fate, once upon a time he also hoped that he could rule a state for the government and change the status quo of Liangzhou. However, the longer I have been in the officialdom, the more I have become more aware of the rules that can only be understood but not spoken, and I have become what I am today.

He was really wrong.

Before walking out of the door, Ma Yue glanced back at Liang Hu, the old man sitting on the couch was really old.

Recalling that when I first met Liang Hu a few years ago, the teacher at that time was proud, and now Liang Hu has more wrinkles between his eyebrows and his hair is a little gray.

Whether it is the years that urge people to grow old, or the power that makes people old, he doesn't know.

―――――――――――――――――――――― I hope my friends are happy and happy every day. Work hard, study hard, everyone becomes a better version of themselves, come on!
