Two days later, Cui Wenjing put a copy of Pan Liao's materials on Tian Wenxiu's desk.

"Supervisor, in the past two days, I have sorted out more than a dozen problems, I have screened them a little, and I feel that there are three problems that are more serious, one is suspected of favoritism, he is in charge of the winery and vineyard, and supplies wine to Chang'an, the price is one percent lower than the other two wineries, last year, the wine alone earned nearly 200,000 yuan, and there were 20,000 yuan of benefits in one achievement, I seriously suspect that he has filled his pockets.

The second problem is that his official residence has fifteen acres, which seriously exceeds the limit of five acres stipulated by the imperial court for governors.

The third question is that he is unethical, he has an illegitimate child who currently lives in Liangzhou, violating the rules of the imperial court. ”

Tian Wenxiu looked at it and asked, "The house where our family lives is about twenty acres!" Are there any overruns? ”

Cui Wenjing thought for a while and said: "The imperial court does not stipulate how big the house the prison army lives in, so Tian Jian Jun does not have to worry about this problem. ”

"What about Guo Yuanjun? I heard that his house has more than 30 acres, is it too big? ”

Cui Wenjing shook his head, "He is the Duke of Xia Guo, according to the title, he can live in a mansion of fifty acres, and my official mansion is thirteen acres, which is only slightly larger." ”

"Since that's the case, don't use the official mansion to make a fuss, it will make people catch the handle and fight back."

"The superintendent is right, it is really ill-conceived to use the official residence to talk about things, and the magistrates in all states and counties have basically exceeded the regulations."

Tian Wenxiu looked at the materials again and said: "It's almost over, our family will use it to handle the first case in Hexi!" ”

.........

Guo Song inspected the winter situation of the soldiers in the military camp in the city in the morning, and the soldiers all moved to the military camp in the city, but the military building was not reduced, but the training ground was gone, and there was only a small martial arts arena for the soldiers to come out and walk around.

"Envoy Qi, the soldiers still have a relatively sufficient supply of food, each person has a pound of rice, half a pound of meat and three taels of pickled vegetables per day, and the soldiers can also distribute ....... in time."

Guo Song remembered something, so he asked Cang Cao to join the army: "But I heard that the soldiers complained that the mutton you gave them was a little unfresh, is there such a thing?" ”

"There is such a thing, but there is no way to do it."

"How?" Guo Song asked.

Cang Cao joined the army with a puzzled face: "Many sheep were slaughtered last year, and they were all stacked in the underground ice cellar, almost a year, and it will definitely not be too fresh, although there are fresh mutton, but it is necessary to consume the remaining ones last year." ”

"How long will it take?"

"About ten days or so, it's about the same."

Guo Song nodded, "Tomorrow morning, when the general points out, you explain the situation to everyone clearly, don't say anything, of course everyone has opinions." ”

"Humble and wrong!"

At this moment, a person engaged in panic came to report: "Envoy, something is wrong!" ”

Guo Song frowned, "Panicked, what's wrong?" ”

"Pan Changshi was arrested by the prison guards and is interrogating him in the lobby."

"It's nonsense!"

Guo Song was immediately annoyed, and immediately ordered: "Return to the army!" ”

He rushed back to the Jiedu Mansion with dozens of cavalry from the internal affairs battalion.

Guo Song walked quickly to the lobby, only to see Pan Liao kneeling on the ground with his arms tied behind his back, and Tian Wenxiu sitting on top with his legs crossed, interrogating while drinking tea.

"Tian Jianjun, what are you doing?" Guo Song asked sharply.

"Huh! We knew someone was going to report it. ”

Tian Wenxiu smiled and said: "Our family received a report that Pan Liao favoritized private interests and filled his pockets, this kind of thing will definitely not be tolerated by the Son of Heaven, and as a prison sent by the Son of Heaven, our family will not tolerate it, so we must interrogate it clearly." ”

Guo Song pulled out his sword and picked it up, Pan Liao's rope was cut, and Pan Liao said aggrievedly: "Envoy, I don't have ......"

Guo Songyi waved his hand, "You don't need to say much, I'll ask you about this matter clearly." ”

He turned his gaze to Tian Wenxiu again, "Pan Changshi is a dignified five-rank court official, and his knees only kneel to the prince of heaven and earth, you have no right to make him kneel, let alone tie him up!" ”

Tian Wenxiu snorted lightly, "Guo Yuanjun, don't forget, our family is a prison army, this army not only refers to soldiers, but also all officials including the envoy, and our family now suspects Pan Liao of embezzling public funds." ”

"Does Tian Jianjun have any evidence?"

"We have a report here, of course, you can't be convicted based on just one report, but our family thinks Pan Liao is really suspicious, so what do you say?"

"Tian Jianjun can ask if you have any questions, this is your duty, but you have to make the way clear, Pan Changshi is the imperial court, not a criminal, if you commit violence to the court officials again, I will write to the Son of Heaven and ask for the prison army to be replaced!"

Tian Wenxiu's eyelids drooped, and he said coldly: "What a powerful festival envoy, you seem to have forgotten that our family has the Shang Fang Tianzi Sword in your hand, but you can cut it first and then play it, if you dare to talk to our family like this, our family will cut off your head!" ”

As soon as he finished speaking, Guo Song laughed disdainfully, "Tian Jian Jun has too few followers!" Recently, there have been Tibetan spies in Zhangye, beware of being beheaded by the Tubo people at night, I can't explain to the Son of Heaven. ”

Tian Wenxiu's face changed greatly, "Guo Song, you dare to threaten our family?" ”

"Did I threaten you? I'm just kindly reminding you that Tian Jianjun hasn't been to Suzhou since he came to Hexi! It seems that Shazhou has never been to it, this is not a qualified prison army! It's just that the wild wolves are infested on the way to Suzhou and Shazhou, remind you to be careful, there are hundreds of wild wolves in the Hexi corridor, and the prey is not dead when you find it, don't be gnawed to the bones. ”

Tian Wenxiu's face turned blue with anger, and he said viciously: "I will also copy your tricks, I will write to the Son of Heaven to expose your support for self-reliance and attempt to rebel!" ”

Guo Song's eyes showed murderous intent, stared at him and said: "If there is really that day, I will definitely kill you to sacrifice the flag, Yuan Xilang, you can't run away!" ”

Tian Wenxiu was like five thunderbolts, and he was stunned all of a sudden, the secret he had hidden for eighteen years was unceremoniously revealed by the other party at the most unexpected time and in the most unexpected place.

........

After a-for-tat confrontation, the parties were silent, Pan Liao was not punished in any way, and Tian Wenxiu did not ask him again, as if nothing had happened.

However, the news that Guo Song and the eunuchs of the prison army turned their faces quickly spread all over Zhangye City, some people applauded Guo Song's toughness, but more people were worried about Guo Song, and offended the prison army, which meant that he was dismissed from office and dismissed not far away.

At night, Guo Song was sitting in the study reading a book, Xue Tao brought a cup of tea, and asked worriedly: "I heard that the husband and the prison army have turned their faces?" ”

"The lady also heard about it?" Guo Song smiled slightly.

"The whole Zhangye City is going crazy, how could I not know, I understand my husband's feelings, that eunuch is very hateful, but my husband should still endure it!"

"If you put up with him, he won't impeach me?"

Guo Song laughed, "If you knew that he was a slave of the Yuan family before entering the palace, I'm afraid you wouldn't persuade me to endure it." ”

"Ahh Xue Tao was taken aback, this prison army turned out to be from her husband's enemy, which was a big trouble.

Xue Tao suddenly said hurriedly: "Husband, you should go to the book to explain it clearly to the Son of Heaven, so that he won't believe the words of this prison army too much." ”

Guo Song shook his head lightly, "You think things too simply, if the Son of Heaven doesn't trust Tian Wenxiu, he won't let him be a prisoner, and similarly, if the Son of Heaven trusts me, he won't send a prison army, and even let my wife and daughter go to Chang'an as a hostage, and I am destined to not win a lawsuit with Tian Wenxiu from the Son of Heaven." ”

"But the Yuan family has an enmity with you, and Tian Wenxiu is a member of the Yuan family."

Guo Song hugged his wife and whispered: "Emperors from ancient times to the present only care about one thing, will you rebel and take away his country?" Nothing else matters, as long as he has the slightest suspicion, he will kill you mercilessly, even if it is his own son, he will never be merciful, is there still a few such cases? At most, he will be given a good name after death, and the emperors have always only believed that the dead will not take away his country. ”

"What then?"

Xue Tao hurriedly said: "Husband, this official is not done, let's go away and fly high, go incognito!" ”

Guo Song comforted her and said: "I am already preparing for the back road, although you relax, the Son of Heaven will also be cautious, and will not completely listen to Tian Wenxiu's words and force me to rebel, at this time, if he wants to cut the feudal domain with all his might, he will never cause trouble behind his back." ”

Xue Tao sighed lowly, "Accompanying you is like accompanying a tiger!" ”

His wife's emotion made Guo Song quite resonant, "You are right, although the Yuan family used poisonous tricks to harm me, but the Son of Heaven is not a brainless person, if he doesn't want to touch me, no matter how much poisonous tricks are useless, the key is that Tang Fan has reached an alliance, the west is temporarily safe, and the attitude of the Son of Heaven towards me is no longer as important as before, I last went to Chang'an to experience it very deeply, he met me less than a cup of tea, and he was very impatient, this is the fundamental reason for the success of the Yuan family's poisonous scheme." ”
