Tian Wenxiu has been very quiet in the past two months, and there has been no recurrence of accidents, mainly because Guo Song revealed his true identity, which made him a little panicked, he didn't know how many secrets Guo Song still had, so that he didn't dare to act rashly, and he had to consult Yuan Xuanhu before he could take the next step.

Zhangye is sunny during the day, although the weather is still very cold, but in the warm sunshine, you can still be outdoors and bask in the sun, but at night, the temperature drops sharply, and the cold is so cold that even the blood has to coagulate, so after the sun goes down, there are almost no people on the streets of Zhangye.

At night, a horse-drawn carriage drove down the very quiet street, with wheels and wheels, and there was only one carriage on the whole street.

The carriage slowly stopped in front of Tian Wenxiu's mansion, the door opened, Cui Wenjing got out of the carriage, these two months, Cui Wenjing's life was not easy, some people reported that he had a close relationship with Tian Wenxiu, the prison army, which made Cui Wenjing hostile and excluded in Hexi officialdom, and Cui Wenjing had to live with his tail between his legs like a dog.

But today, Cui Wenjing received a pigeon letter from Lu Qi, and he felt the need to come to Tian Wenxiu.

An entourage led him into the mansion and came to Tian Wenxiu's study, Tian Wenxiu was coarse and could know thousands of words, and the writing was not bad, which was still relatively rare among eunuchs, so he was quite valued by Li Shi, the son of heaven.

Tian Wenxiu was practicing calligraphy in the room, and when he saw Cui Wenjing coming in, he put down his pen and smiled: "It's so cold outside, Cui Changshi must have something important!" ”

Cui Wenjing nodded, "I received a pigeon letter from Lu Xiangguo today, and I think it is also meaningful to Tian Jianjun." ”

"Cui Changshi and Lu Xiangguo have pigeon letter exchanges?" Tian Wenxiu was a little surprised.

Cui Wenjing hurriedly shook her head, "There is usually no contact, but today a businessman came to me and provided me with a pigeon letter, and I found out that it was a pigeon letter sent by Lu Xiangguo." ”

Cui Wenjing handed a pigeon letter to Tian Wenxiu, "Look at it yourself!" ”

Tian Wenxiu hurriedly opened the pigeon letter, only to see that there were only four words on it, 'normal supervision', and below was Lu Qi's private seal.

This pigeon letter is not so much for Cui Wenjing, but for Tian Wenxiu, Cui Wenjing does not have the right to supervise, but Tian Wenxiu does.

Tian Wenxiu was stunned for a long time, and suddenly asked, "Lu Xiangguo already knows about our situation here?" ”

"I guess so! Lu Xiangguo naturally has his way, and I think this is actually news for you, so I will forward this pigeon letter to you. ”

Tian Wenxiu sat down slowly, he pondered for a moment and asked, "What does Cui Changshi think this pigeon letter means?" ”

"I feel that the meaning of this pigeon letter is to let you take action, don't be afraid, don't consider from personal grudges, but exercise your duties and powers as a supervisor normally, your last frustration was just a personal setback, but you are the supervisor of Hexi on behalf of the Son of Heaven, and you have been in Hexi for more than a month, but you don't do anything at all, I think Tian Jian Jun seems to be mixing public and private."

Tian Wenxiu slowly woke up a little, he seemed to be a little bit drilled, and he only wanted to deal with Guo Song, but he forgot that he was the Hexi Supervisor.

"So what's next for our family?"

Cui Wenjing despised this eunuch a little in his heart, his ability was too poor, he had almost no experience, and he was also timid, and he was knocked by Guo Song and shrunk back.

Disdain is disdain, Cui Wenjing still has to help him, they are now grasshoppers on a rope, and their fates are basically connected.

"I suggested that the prison army set up a supervision office to continue to investigate Pan Liao's case, Guo Song only accused the prison army of being rude, but he didn't dare to say that the prison army exceeded its authority, so the prison army was polite and invited Pan Liao to inquire, this is the power of the prison army, I believe Guo Song has nothing to say."

Tian Wenxiu nodded slowly, he knew what to do.

........

On the sixth day of the first lunar month, the first day of the end of the Spring Festival, officials came to the official house one after another to start work and began to sort out various data from last year and prepare to report to the imperial court.

Pan Liao had just arrived at the official room, and before he had time to sit down and drink tea, a practitioner said at the door: "Pan Changshi, Tian Jianjun invites you to come over." ”

Pan Liao was shocked, the scene more than a month ago made him remember it vividly, Tian Wenxiu still refused to let go of himself?

There was no way, the other party used the word 'please', so that he couldn't refuse, so he had to walk to the prison room.

The prison room is located in the east courtyard, it is a single courtyard, and there is a plaque with the words 'Hexi Supervision Army' hanging on the door, but Pan Liao accidentally found that there is another plaque next to it, 'Hexi Supervision Office'.

When was this monitoring room established, it seems that I didn't see it before the holiday, so fast?

"Pan Changshi is here, please come in! The prison army is waiting for the long history. One of Tian Wenxiu's entourages politely invited Pan Liao in.

Pan Liao walked into the courtyard and saw Tian Wenxiu greet him with a smile, "Pan Changshi, Happy New Year!" ”

Pan Liao was shocked by the other party's attitude, the last time they met, he only had two words to himself, 'Take it!' Now that he has become amiable, Pan Liao really can't figure out what kind of medicine is sold in the other party's gourd?

He had no choice but to bow back, "Happy New Year to the prison army." ”

"It's cold outside, Pan Changshi, please come in and sit!" Tian Wenxiu warmly beckoned him into the house.

Pan Liao followed him to the hall, and the two actually sat down separately, and Tian Wenxiu asked people to serve tea.

Pan Liao couldn't help but ask, "Is there anything the prison army looking for me?" ”

"It's just to understand the situation, this is the duty of this supervising army, Pan Changshi don't worry, just answer truthfully."

Pan Liao sighed secretly in his heart, in fact, it was the same as last time, but he just changed his attitude, and he wanted to put himself to death, this kind of smiling tiger is actually more terrifying, so that you will be tricked unconsciously.

"Prison Guard, please! The humble knows everything. ”

Tian Wenxiu still kept smiling, but his gaze became cold, he nodded to the side, and a person in charge of recording picked up the pen.

"We want to ask, why do you sell to the wine merchants in the capital at a price lower than the other two wine shops?"

...........

In the barracks, Guo Song listened to Pan Liao's report with a calm expression and asked, "Except for three questions, didn't he embarrass you in other aspects?" ”

Pan Liao shook his head, "He is very polite to the lowly position today, which can be said to be unusually polite, but under his abnormality, I can feel that he can't hold back the killing machine, he just wants to find a handle to kill the lowly position and make an example!" ”

Guo Song said lightly: "With me, he can't kill you." ”

Pan Liao knelt on the ground and said with shame on his face: "But it's a lowly position...... It's really not very clean in the wine trade. ”

"I know!"

Guo Song said calmly: "You accepted the five thousand yuan money that Zhang Lei gave you, because you have to support two families and seven children, in fact, the five thousand yuan was given to you by Zhang Lei, I know the predicament of your family!" ”

Pan Liao was stunned, and then his nose was sour, and he was deeply moved.

"Make the ......"

Guo Song pressed his shoulder and said slowly: "There are no perfect people in this world, including myself, everyone has a side of selfish desires, the key is to restrain it, don't become a slave of selfish desires, after you get five thousand yuan of money, you will no longer indulge your selfish desires, and you will never open your mouth to Zhang Lei again, hundreds of thousands of yuan will pass through your hands, and you will not be less than a penny, which is enough to prove that although you are not a saint, you are a person of excellent character." ”

Tears welled up from Pan Liao's eyes, his heart fluctuated, and he had the urge to die for his confidant, at this moment, even if Tian Wenxiu tied up his child and threatened him, he would never betray Guo Song.

"He just looked at why our wines were 10% cheaper than the other two."

The wine is cheap is Guo Song's decision, their wine was not sold directly to Meishou Winery, but in order to avoid suspicion, it was first sold to Zhangye Wine Shop, Zhangye Wine Shop is Anjia's wine shop, and then Anjia then sold to Meishou Wine Shop, as a partner, Zhangye Wine Shop received a profit of 10%, so that Meishou Wine Shop got a normal shipping price.

"And how do you explain that?" Guo Song asked with a smile.

"The humble position explained to him, because half of our grapes are new grapes, the quality is not stable, not as good as the old grapes of the other two, we can't sell them, we must give a profit to Yicheng, the wine merchant can accept, and the humble position also showed him the contract signed with the Zhangye wine shop."

"And what did he say?"

"He didn't say anything, obviously didn't believe what I said, he moved all the account books over, and said that he would clean up the snow on the officialdom in Hexi."

Guo Song shook his head and smiled: "It seems that he is very self-aware and knows that he is the dirty snow in the officialdom of Hexi." ”

"Envoy, how should I deal with my humble position?"

"He can't find any problems with the wine, but it's your private life, that's the key to impeaching you, you hurry up and marry that woman back, she gave you two children, and you still don't give her the title?"

Pan Liao said with a wry smile: "It's not that I don't give her a title, but she wants me to divorce my wife, she doesn't want to be a concubine, how can I divorce my wife, so it's been a stalemate for ten years." ”

Guo Song walked a few steps with his hands in his hands and said, "That's it!" You resigned of your own accord, but I will not report to the court, and then I will appoint you as my staff and continue to be in charge of the winery and the vineyard, and when the time comes, I will reinstate you. ”

Pan Liao knew that this was Guo Song protecting himself, so he bowed down and said: "Make the king's kindness and righteousness and humble duty in mind!" ”
