Although Xu Jie is a Tanhua and the first, unlike most of the elders from the Hanlin Academy, he has had a long period of experience in the outing.

In the fifteenth year of Jiajing, he served as the deputy envoy and superintendent of schools in Jiangxi, serving for three years. The inspector is the provincial education administrator, and his main functions are related to education, such as checking the quality of teaching and selecting students.

It was these three years that made him form a relationship with many scholars in Jiangxi, and promoted many scholars from children to talents, so he became a teacher and student.

Of course, if those Jiangxi scholars are just showing talents or lifting people, they will naturally not be able to climb this teacher-student relationship with Xu Jie, and only by taking the Jinshi merit can they get Xu Jie's "recognition".

Ye Bo is a scholar in Guangxin Mansion, it was when Xu Jie's appointment as an inspector that he participated in the Guangxin Mansion Academy Examination presided over by Xu Jie, and then when Jiajing was admitted to the Jinshi in the 20th year, he followed Xu Jie's name as a student.

Generally speaking, the inspector has been released from the place, and it is difficult to return to the court. It's just that Xu Jie is not only back, but now he is also serving as the first assistant, and Ye Bo is naturally willing to climb.

Xu Jie remembered the good old days, and raised his hand to this protégé who had formed a teacher-student relationship for more than 20 years and warmly invited: "Rusheng, let's sit inside, are you ready for dinner?" ”

The latter sentence was said to Xu Fan next to him, although Xu Fan always felt that he was not biological, but he still hurriedly replied: "Dad, it's ready, it's ready to serve at any time!" ”

"Okay, let's serve!" Xu Jie nodded lightly and led Ye Bo directly towards the dining room.

Unlike the Yan family, which was poor and extravagant in the past, the Xu family's meals were very light, with ordinary dishes on them, and there was an extra Songjiang perch on the table.

"This fish is so fat!" Xu Jie saw the Songjiang perch on the plate, and couldn't help but praise softly.

Mrs. Xu hadn't left yet, so she pointed to Ye Bo next to her and said with a smile: "Ru Sheng knows that you are good, and I made a special trip to pick a fat fish for you today and bring it over!" ”

"Huh...... Ru Sheng has a heart, but he has always been able to keep the old man's preferences in mind! Xu Jie stroked his gray beard lightly, turned his head to look at Ye Bodao with a smile.

"That's what students should do!" Ye Bo gave his wife a grateful look, and respectfully saluted Xu Jie.

Although he has been the official Zuo Shilang of the Criminal Department of the Third Grade, in front of this first assistant teacher, he has always regarded himself as a student and always maintained his respect for the teacher.

Mrs. Xu went to another table to dine with her family, Xu Jie invited Ye Bo to sit down, and Xu Fan was at the same table. Although Xu Fan does not have too much political wisdom, he is still good at communicating, which makes the atmosphere quite good.

After Xu Jie tasted the fatty Songjiang perch with chopsticks, he praised it again.

Ye Bo knew that the teacher had a bit of an element of acting, but in the officialdom, everyone lived wearing a mask. To be able to let the teacher do such a trick, isn't it a kind of attention that the teacher attaches to him?

After dinner, night had quietly fallen, and the three of them went to the study where the candles were lit.

Ye Bo watched the housekeeper who delivered the tea withdraw, and said with his meaning: "Teacher, the case in Yangzhou has been closed, and the closed case file will be handed over to the Criminal Department this afternoon!" ”

Chen Xiaoxiao's case is naturally not a secret, and when Lin Haoran finished the court trial, the news reached the capital as soon as possible. Because this case involved Xu Yuanji, the Xu family also paid attention to it.

It's just that this case is far away in Yangzhou, and no one can be sure what Lin Haoran's idea is, let alone what Lin Haoran's next move is, so it makes them feel uneasy.

Now hearing Ye Bo say that the case has been closed, the atmosphere immediately becomes both unexpected and tense.

Before Xu Jie could speak, Xu Fan asked nervously, "How is this case decided?" Who pushed the Qinglou woman into the water to drown? ”

Xu Jieduan teacup was raised, and a posture of Mount Tai collapsing in front of him and his color remained unchanged.

Ye Bo swallowed and foamed, looked at Xu Jie seriously and announced the answer: "Chen Xian's son is suspected of manslaughter and was sentenced to exile for 3,000 miles!" ”

"Where's Xu Yuanji's muddy boy?" Xu Fan's eyes immediately lit up, and he asked again.

Ye Bo knew that the main thing was Xu Yuanji's sentence, so he replied seriously: "Xu Gongzi and several other sons are not helping, and the prison term ranges from one month to one year, Li Yu's son is sentenced to one year in prison, and Xu Gongzi is sentenced to three months in prison!" ”

When Xu Fan heard this judgment, a smile immediately bloomed on his face, and his hanging heart was completely relaxed.

Xu Jie lightly splashed the hot tea with the tea lid, frowned slightly and asked, "Lin Haoran is really sentenced like this?" ”

Although he knew that Lin Haoran could not easily tear his face with him, he felt strange about this verdict, Lin Haoran not only let go of the opportunity to bring him down, but also "shielded" Xu Yuanji.

If it was just a slight failure to help, it was not a big crime at all, not to mention that he was safe and sound, and his younger brother Xu Zhi would not be affected. It's just clear that this is not Lin Haoran's style.

Xu Fan slowly came back to his senses, took away the smile on his face and asked Ye Bo: "That kid is really so kind?" ”

"Teacher, Xu Shaoqing, you have misunderstood, this case was not sentenced by Lin Haoran, but by Cao Shangchun, the governor of Yingtian!" Ye Bo thought that he didn't make things clear, so he replied honestly.

Xu Fan was stunned, and asked even more confused: "This case is judged by Wei Shangchun, which one is that kid singing?" ”

"I don't know! However, the case file has reached the Criminal Department, and the case has indeed been handed over to Wei Shangchun for review! Ye Bo shook his head gently, looking honest.

In fact, he is also a little puzzled, and the rehabilitation of an unjust case can be regarded as a great political achievement in any case. But on the contrary, Lin Haoran actually gave it to Wei Shangchun, the governor of Yingtian, and let that person pick up a big bargain.

"This is the genius of this kid, firstly, he doesn't want to be tarnished by this case, and secondly, he can advance and retreat freely!" Xu Jielian sighed, took a sip of tea, and then said seriously: "Look at it, in a few days, there will be Yangzhou officials impeaching Li Yu and He Dongxu. ”

Out of his understanding of Lin Haoran, he knows that this person is very politically minded. Although Lin Haoran will not use this case to attack him, he will definitely take the opportunity to ask for benefits, and He Dongxu and Li Yu's positions will definitely be handled according to his wishes.

The most surprising thing is that the original plan was to let Wei Shangchun rectify this kid, but he didn't expect Wei Shangchun to go to Yangzhou and use Lin Haoran, so that Lin Haoran is now in a position where he can advance and retreat freely.

"Teacher, what now?" Ye Bo nodded knowingly, and asked very seriously.
