CHAPTER XVI

87_87272 Su Jiming followed Wei Qiong back to the mansion and entered the house, Wei Qiong retreated left and right, and poured himself a cup of tea unhurriedly: "Say, who is that person?" ”

Su Jiming lived in Danzhou for a year, saying that he didn't know Xiwu, but Wei Qiong naturally didn't believe it. Su Jiming had no choice but to say: "He is the priest of the Wu Barbarian Clan." ”

"Priest?"

"Yes, there are many priests of the Barbarians, and he is one of them."

Su Jiming did not say that Xiwu was the high priest of the Wu Barbarian Clan. In the Barbarians, the priest is the administrator, and the high priest is equivalent to the patriarch. Since the imperial court has the intention of attacking the Wu barbarians, if they find out that the leader of the enemy is automatically sent to the door, Xiwu is afraid that it will be really difficult to get out alive.

"How many priests does the Barbarian have?"

"Not a few." Su Jiming relied on the fact that no one had ever been to the Barbarian Clan, so he opened his mouth and talked nonsense, "There are dozens of people, and there will be a priest in each family." ”

"Oh?" Wei Qiong seemed to smile and scraped the tea with the lid of the cup, "His ability is so high, dozens of jailers can't stop him, his status among the Wu barbarians should not be low, right?" ”

Su Jiming also learned from him to stir up tea to hide his weak gaze: "The Wu barbarians don't have a strict rank, so he is not outstanding. After a pause, lest Wei Qiong not believe it, he added, "He is not a very powerful person among the priests of the barbarian clan, and the priests there will call for wind and rain." ”

"Really? If the priests of the Barbarian Clan are so powerful, it will not be easy to deal with. Wei Qiong raised his eyebrows, didn't speak for a long time, took a few sips of tea, and said slowly, "Then do you know why he is looking for Bu Tian?" ”

"This ......," Su Jiming licked his lips, "I don't know about it." I have been in Danzhou for a year and have never seen Bu Tian. According to my guess, maybe they have known each other in the past, and the barbarian people value love and righteousness, and he heard that Bu Tian is in trouble, so he will come to the rescue. ”

"Oh." Wei Qiong nodded and stopped talking.

Su Jiming sat for a while, only to feel that the atmosphere in the room was awkward, sitting like pins and needles, he couldn't help but say, "Brother Ziyu, how do you plan to deal with this matter?" ”

"I've never seen anything like it." Wei Qiong said, "What's more, I have a lot of affairs recently, I'm afraid I won't be able to spare my hands to take care of these." Now that I have handed over Bu Tian's case to you, and this matter is also up to you, what do you think? ”

Su Jiming couldn't believe it. He did reveal a flaw, there is no way not to reveal this flaw, Wei Qiong is absolutely suspicious, but why does it seem that nothing has happened? Didn't Wei Qiong say that he wanted to exterminate the barbarians, and now that Xiwu has appeared, he is not afraid that he intends to return to the mountain? What exactly is Wei Qiong...... What the hell are you hapting?!

"Why don't you speak?" Wei Qiong said, "Let me ask you, how do you plan to deal with this matter?" ”

Su Jiming pursed his lips: "...... As I told you a few days ago, this case should not involve more people, and I am afraid that if it drags on for a long time, there will be extraneous branches. ”

"Oh? Those people really deserve to die. And then, what about the priest of the barbarians? ”

"That barbarian priest, he has never participated in Bu Tian's past actions, I think his case should be judged separately." Su Jiming paused and said, "If Bu Tian really colludes with the Wu Barbarian people, and Bu Tian dies, the Wu Barbarian people will also be afraid, otherwise with their peculiar ability, I am afraid that it will be bad if they really rescue Bu Tian if they drag it out any longer." ”

Wei Qiong stared at Su Jiming, and Su Jiming responded to his gaze as calmly as possible.

After a while, Wei Qiong smiled slightly and said, "I have handed over the rights to you, so let's do as you say." ”

Wei Qiong could speak so well, which Su Jiming didn't expect. But since Wei Qiong said so, Su Jiming couldn't question himself, so he had to swallow his confusion into his stomach.

Su Jiming retreated and walked to the door, Wei Qiong suddenly called softly behind him: "Qingzhe, ......"

"What?" Su Jiming stood up and looked back at him.

Wei Qiong's face didn't have that kind of playful smile, but calmly and calmly: "I know, you don't like this place, and I don't like it either." Miasma, insects, snakes, barbarians...... There's nothing comforting about it. We are all officials of the imperial court, the food of the king, and the loyalty of the king. I want to finish my work as soon as possible and go back to the capital as soon as possible than you. Write poems with you, play chess, and enjoy flowers. There are you and my relatives and friends in Beijing, as well as people you and I miss...... Do you understand? ”

Su Jiming bit his lip, and nodded lightly after a moment: "I...... Got it. ”

"There you go."

After Su Jiming left, Wei Qiong looked at the closed door fixedly. Through this nothingness, he seemed to see the one thousands of miles away, the person he missed.

Zhao Yunshen has been frail since childhood, and the imperial doctor once asserted that it would be difficult for him to live past thirty. Because of this, he had a bad life since he was a child, and even his mother gave up on him for a time, until his brother suddenly fell ill and died, and his mother had to put her hope on him and push him to the throne.

His imperial uncle deceived him as a sick man, and he dominated the power in the name of assistant, and he could only survive in the cracks by swallowing his breath and pretending to be incompetent, waiting for the day when he turned over.

In front of others, Zhao Yunshen is weak and bulliful, but only in front of Wei Qiong, he will be hysterical and ambitious.

"Why! Why can't I live to be thirty years old? I can't help but live, and I want to live strongly, I want to live for a hundred years, long live, so that those who have bullied me can take a good look! ”

"Why can't I blow the wind, I can't ride a horse, even the concubines, I don't think I'm incompetent! The whole world is mine, why can't I even live a day of physical comfort? ”

"I'm really ...... Unwilling to ...... Ziyu, I don't want to be scared every day, every day is like the last day, I'm afraid that once I fall asleep, I won't be able to get up again. I still want a lot of time to be a good emperor, to travel the mountains and rivers, and see what the country under my rule is like...... I...... I'm so unwilling......"

Before leaving Beijing, Wei Qiong knelt in front of Zhao Yunshen and swore that he would definitely get back the treasure of prolonging his life for him. The mountains and rivers in the world belong to the Son of Heaven, so no matter what the price is, it will not hesitate.

Wei Qiong's sanity was pulled back, he rested on the table with one hand, cupped his cheeks, a smile hooked up at the corner of his mouth, and muttered: "The high priest of the Wu Barbarian Clan, Xiwu, Su Jiming...... It's kind of interesting, huh. ”

After Su Jiming went back, he immediately accelerated the process of Bu Tian's case. He asked someone to bring all the confessions and incriminating evidence of all the people, and began to write and close the case, and did not leave the yamen until it was dark at night.

Su Jiming couldn't think of a better way at this time. According to his guess, Xiwu mistook Bu Tian for him, so he went to rob the prison. He can't recognize Xiwu, he has now returned to his rightful life, and from the moment he left Danzhou, his fate with Xiwu has ended. He wanted Xiwu to go back and close Bu Tian's case early, and Xiwu would understand that he had found the wrong person, and Bu Tian was not the end of the world. He couldn't find the end of the world where zĂ i didn't exist at all, so naturally he should go.

Su Jiming, the chief, didn't leave, and the people below didn't dare to go, until the night was dark, and the mustache and others couldn't help but urge Su Jiming: "It's so late, don't you want to go back?" ”

Su Jiming saw a few people waiting at the door, and after being stunned for a while, he knew that if he didn't leave, these people would not dare to go home. He rubbed his eyes and said, "You guys go back first, I'll leave in a while." ”

A pen clerk asked, "What is Master Su doing?" How can we help? ”

"I'm almost done." Su Jiming did it himself for the sake of safety, "I want to close Bu Tian's case as soon as possible, and he will be executed in two days." ”

As soon as this remark came out, everyone was shocked. The mustache was the first to object: "Master Su, this case has not been tried clearly, and there may be an accomplice who has not been caught......"

Su Jiming said impatiently: "Didn't I say it, don't involve more people, these Miao people and Yue people are very united, if it is more widely involved and causes them to rebel in the whole village, things will be out of control!" If the case is closed as soon as possible, and the chickens and monkeys are set an example, those who are worried and uneasy can settle down as soon as possible and no longer have a bad heart. ”

The mustache said, "But I didn't ask about the barbarians." In case Bu Tian went to Danzhou in this year and colluded with the barbarians to cause chaos, he would hastily close the case without figuring it out......"

Su Jiming slapped the pen on the table and said gloomily: "I came back from Danzhou, if Bu Tianru is involved with the barbarians, I won't know?" Or do you suspect that I was also involved in the rebellion? ”

The mustache was startled, how could he dare to suspect Su Jiming, apologized again and again, but still struggled unwillingly: "However, if it wasn't this year, but Bu Tian would have hooked up with the barbarians a long time ago......"

Su Jiming took a deep breath: "I said, no! Bu Tian didn't know the barbarians at all! ”

"Then why did that barbarian save Bu Tian?"

Su Jiming rolled his eyes: "He has a sick brain!" ”

The crowd was dumbfounded by the unreasonable chief.

However, Wei Qiong said that the case was handed over to Su Jiming, and Su Jiming gave the order, although it was in a hurry, everyone did not dare to disobey. It wasn't until late at night that Su Jiming finished all the paperwork and went back to rest with a lantern
