Now An Rusheng has certainly been convicted, but there are many of his henchmen, and there are many officials who are secretly colluding with An Rusheng, otherwise there would not be an incident of the salt ship being detained.

Even if Shen Xi returns safely, he still can't sleep peacefully, according to Jiang Liwei's reminder, whether it is him or Hui Niang, they should stay at home honestly and not go out.

But the day after the incident, some officers and soldiers came over and asked Shen Xi to go to the prefect's yamen to "talk."

"Hasn't the Governor's Mansion been questioned? Why do you want to go to the prefect's yamen? ”

Without waiting for Shen Xi to go downstairs, Hui Niang took the lead in questioning. She is also very affected by yesterday's events, and even if she comes back, she is a little suspicious.

"The Governor of An was indeed questioned, and it was the officials of the imperial court who were invited. Where is Shen Gongzi, please come with us. ”

The officers and men who came to invite people did not have a good temper, saying that they were inviting people, but in fact they were similar to taking people, and they could not tolerate the slightest refusal. Shen Xi came down from the upper floor, first confirmed the identity of the person who came, and then went out with the officers and soldiers.

Outside the yamen of the mansion, Jiang Liwei was waiting there in person.

Jiang Liwei said: "Shen Gongzi, I don't have to bother, it's Liu Shilang who wants to meet you." Liu Shilang is a master sent by the imperial court to investigate the robbery case, don't be offended. ”

Shen Xixin said: "I still need your reminder!?" When I haven't seen the Chin Cha or what? Didn't I handle Xie Duo well last time? ”

But he still cautiously followed behind Jiang Liwei, because this time, he could be sure that it was Liu Daxia, a famous minister of the Hongzhi Dynasty and now a servant of the Imperial History of the Deputy Left Capital.

Liu Daxia. The word is Yong, and the number is Dongshan. Huguang Huarong people, at the age of 20, he tried to solve the yuan in the township. Tianshun eight years in the jinshi, after Tianshun Chenghua Hongzhi Zhengde four dynasties, Hongzhi fourteen years to replace Ma Wensheng transferred to the military department of Shangshu, is to assist Hongzhi Emperor Zhu Youjiao, to achieve "Hongzhi Zhongxing" of a generation of ministers.

However, there is a lot of controversy about Liu Daxia in the historical circles. Mainly from his early years in the military department. He once burned all the navigation charts of Zheng He's voyage to the West, and was a "big sinner" who destroyed the inheritance of Chinese culture.

Shen Xi followed Jiang Liwei to the outside of the prefect's back hall, stood respectfully first, and waited for Jiang Liwei to go in and pass through before being allowed to enter. When I got inside, I saw Liu Daxia sitting on the ground seat, next to a small square table with a rare chess board on it, playing chess with himself.

Generally speaking. In ancient times, when it came to chess, it referred to the game of Go, and few people could play chess until after the middle of the Ming Dynasty. It was only then that chess gradually became popular among the noble class.

Although Liu Daxia was born as a literati, he had the temperament of a martial artist, and it was not surprising that he was interested in chess, which was more direct in attack and defense.

Liu Daxia will choose Jiang Liwei, who was born in a martial arts but has a literati temperament, as an adjutant by his side, and should also have this consideration.

"Liu Shilang, Shen Xi, a student from Ninghua County, Tingzhou." Jiang Li Wei reported.

Only then did Liu Daxia raise his head and glance at Shen Xi, who hurriedly stepped forward and saluted: "Student Shen Xi." Meet Liu Shilang. ”

Liu Daxia nodded and said, "Gu Yu, go do your business first, I'll talk to Shen Xi, don't bother if you don't have anything important." ”

Jiang Liwei glanced at Shen Xi with some envy, saluted and retreated, and when only Shen Xi and Liu Daxia were left in the back hall, Shen Xi was still a little at a loss.

Although Liu Daxia is now only the left servant of the household department, he is a famous minister of the Hongzhi Dynasty, and he will successively serve as the secretary of the imperial history and military department of the right capital, and he can be regarded as half of the prime minister, how respectful is the status of such a person? Being able to talk face-to-face with a child like Shen Xi is a blessing for ordinary people who have cultivated for several lifetimes.

Liu Daxia didn't let Shen Xi sit down, not that Liu Daxia was domineering, but the difference between his status and Shen Xi's status was too great, even if it was just age, it was not commensurate. Liu Daxia sat on the ground, and Shen Xi was standing, only standing outside the inner curtain, some distance away from Liu Daxia.

Liu Daxia said while playing chess with himself: "Before I arrived in the capital city of Tingzhou, I heard about some things about the Tingzhou Chamber of Commerce, the Chamber of Commerce is a family, and the Lumen Sun family is widowed, but they can keep the festival, and when the plague broke out in the south a few years ago, they planted poxes to save people, and were commended by the imperial court, but there is such a thing?" ”

Shen Xi saluted and said, "Yes." ”

Liu Daxia waved his hand slightly and said, "Don't be too restrained, just answer normally." After a pause, he continued, "When His Majesty sent Mr. Xie to Fujian and Zhejiang to investigate the disaster, he visited the house and planted pox himself, and this method was introduced to the north by him. In the first year, the plague in Guanzhong, the area where the pox is not planted, three or four out of ten people die, and the area where the pox is planted is unharmed, even His Majesty is quite amazed, and personally let the imperial doctor plant the pox, and the area of the Guanzhong pox plant, grateful for the kindness of the Lumen Sun family, have built a sacrifice for her, and the reputation of the Lumen Sun family is far and wide. ”

Shen Xi was surprised in his heart, he didn't expect the pox method to spread so quickly. Or maybe it's also because people are troubled in these years, thinking that pox is self-inflicted disaster, and they are very resistant to pox, which is also the reason why the method of pox has not spread on a large scale in the first place. It is only after the catastrophe that those who have escaped death are alert and do something to make amends. Even the emperor himself planted pox, so the people below still don't compete to follow suit?

Shen Xi thought to himself, it's a pity, at the beginning, the imperial court only praised a few words at most, but let Han Xie be promoted because of this, but there was no substantial reward for Hui Niang and him, and now the northern Jiansheng words are just offered to Hui Niang as a bodhisattva, what's the use?

"Don't mention the old things, don't ......"

Don't mention it, since pox has such a great effect, even if time passes, why not discuss the matter of awarding rewards? Isn't the imperial court rewarded for meritorious service?

Liu Daxia said: "This time, An Rusheng is the party to the disaster, looking for someone to rob merchant ships, how did you know?" ”

Shen Xixin said that it was really here, and Jiang Liwei said that he would be investigated afterwards, and now it seems that it was not just to scare him. In the matter of treating Xi'er's injuries, he did even keep Jiang Liwei in the dark, this matter is now a big problem, if Liu Daxia wants to hold him accountable, and ask him about his crimes, he has a hard time arguing.

"Back to Liu Shilang, the student heard the news from elsewhere." Shen Xi still didn't confess Yu Niang, and people kindly reminded him. To save Hui Niang from disaster, Shen Xi naturally wanted to repay the favor. Don't involve others.

Liu Daxia said coldly: "Do you still want to hide it?" ”

Shen Xi shook his head and said, "It's not that the students deliberately conceal it, it's that they have to be true to their word." ”

Liu Daxia suddenly fell silent, the scene was terrifyingly quiet, Shen Xi was very worried that Liu Daxia would be angry and angry with him.

After a while, Liu Daxia suddenly picked up the chess pieces. "Slap" slapped down: "This is a good move." Ha ha. Qi Fang's, you can come out! ”

After speaking, a beautiful woman with a graceful posture walked out from behind the screen inside, who was the head of the Teaching Workshop Division. Yu Niang lowered her head, but when she walked behind Liu Daxia, she raised her head slightly, glanced at Shen Xi with a little gratitude, went to the square table, knelt down and saluted, "The concubine asks Lord Liu An." ”

"Hmm."

Liu Daxia nodded. With a slight wave of her hand, Yu Niang got up, bowed and took a few steps back, to the outside of the inner curtain. She knelt on the ground again, as a sign of her humility. The status is both below Liu Daxia and below Shen Xi, Shen Xi is standing outside the mat, and she is kneeling.

Liu Daxia glanced at Shen Xi and said, "Shen Xi, it's good for you to be a man and be righteous and faithful. But as a scholar, you can't distinguish between right and wrong, let alone the law of the court. This time, Qi Fang's report of the thief was meritorious, but the method used was too extreme, and it must not be done in the future. ”

These words were not only said to Shen Xi, but also to Yu Niang. Yu Niang hurriedly kowtowed again and said, "Lord Liu taught me a lesson." ”

Shen Xi also saluted: "Students remember. ”

Liu Daxia nodded, it seemed that he had nothing to say to Shen Xi.

Shen Xi thought to himself: "Since Yu Niang has made meritorious contributions to An Rusheng, and the merits and demerits are offset, even Yu Niang does not need to be held accountable, and it is naturally inappropriate to hold me accountable." ”

"Shen Xi, do you know how to play chess?" Liu Daxia suddenly looked up at Shen Xi.

Shen Xi said: "I have learned some before. ”

Liu Daxia smiled: "Interesting, interesting, Gu Yu said that you know everything, I don't believe it yet, now it seems that people can't be disgraced." In this land of Fujian and Guangdong, there is not even an opponent to play chess, which is really boring. Li Wei played Go well, but he didn't know anything about object chess, and just teaching him how to play it was a big headache...... How about you come over and play a game with me? ”

From this point, Shen Xi can feel that Liu Daxia is approachable, he doesn't put on any score, and even calls himself "I", instead of opening his mouth to be an official, or an old man or something.

Shen Xi stepped forward, knelt down respectfully in front of the square table, and began to clean up the chess pieces on the table. When the pieces are arranged, the two sides start the game.

After all, Shen Xi is a junior, so he can't play too fiercely on the chess road, so he simply chooses to be on the defensive, and Liu Daxia doesn't seem to be very good at attacking, so the two of them are glued around the Chu River Han Realm.

Originally, Liu Daxia thought that no matter how high Shen Xi's chess level was, because of the relationship between age and life experience, there must be a lot of mistakes and omissions. But Shen Xiqi played very calmly, and his defense could be said to be leaky.

Liu Daxia didn't pay too much attention at first, and he couldn't help but be cautious later.

The opening game took more than 20 steps, and the two sides played a horse against a cannon, and when the chess opening was roughly the same, Shen Xi, who lost his horse, occupied a certain advantage.

Liu Daxia fell for a while, suddenly remembered something, looked at Yu Niang, and greeted: "Qi Fang, you have good tea skills, you might as well come over and add a cup of tea." ”

Yu Niang got up and went inside: "I didn't expect Lord Liu to remember the tea of the concubine......"

"Time flies, it's been years...... Belch? ”

Liu Daxia originally thought that if he held it for a long time, he would lose it, as long as he took a few more steps, he could find the flaw, but after a little distraction, Shen Xi suddenly made a good move, crossed the river with a single cannon, and directly pumped the car, Liu Daxia was really startled.

Shen Xi found his flaws first.

Liu Daxia didn't care about gossiping with Yu Niang, the two continued to play the game, and Shen Xi gradually began to "release water" while occupying the advantage of the scene. In the end, Liu Daxia was stunned and relied on Shen Xi's mistake to checkmate Shen Xi to death under the condition of a bad scene. Shen Xi showed a slight regret on his face and said, "The student lost." ”

Liu Daxia pointed at Shen Xi and scolded with a smile: "You baby, you are not a big person, but you learn some pedantic things, you could have won, but you have to make chess, which is more difficult than making me lose chess." Forget it, but a game of chess, you can win it in the future, and you must not let it outside the chessboard affect the chessboard. ”

Shen Xi saluted again.

Liu Daxia smiled and waved his hand: "Okay, go back, Qi Fang's you can also go." As for what you said, after I return to Beijing, I will find someone to handle it, and I dare not guarantee whether it will be completed or not. ”

Yu Niang hurriedly saluted: "The concubine thanked Lord Liu." ”
