Su Yuanjing heard that Xiao Tang, who he was originally suspicious, could come to meet him in person, his heartstrings moved, and he secretly said: This Xiao Tang is loved by the official family, but he has a dispute openly and secretly with the second year of high school in Bianjing, but in the court, he doesn't see how to form a private party... It's just that he is Cai Jing's son-in-law Liang Shijie, an official from the Left-behind Division, and I often patrol business trips under the imperial orders of the official family, so I didn't have much chance to meet in Bianliang, Tokyo.

Although Su Yuanjing is also a courtier like Zheng Juzhong, and he is extremely incompatible with powerful ministers such as Cai Jing and Tong Guan, but he heard that Xiao Tangping's reputation for being a person in the world seems to be like an ordinary Cai Party in the court. Although Su Yuanjing had a good impression of Xiao Tang, he thought that if he assassinated He Taishou and dozens of public servants in the mansion, if it was really Xiao Tang's secret instigation......

Su Yuanjing's frowning brows gradually relaxed, and he bowed his head and said, "Hurry up, please." ”

Yu Houguan had to order Xiao Tang to enter the hall to meet with Su Yuanjing, and not long after, Su Yuanjing saw a heroic, masculine and powerful young man pacing in, and saluted him and said: "Junior Xiao Tang, I have seen Su Taiwei." Wen Taiwei's name has been known for a long time, and he is expected to meet here. ”

Su Yuanjing said with a smile: "I have long heard of the good reputation of Xiao Jieshuai, who held important positions in the court at a young age, and was willing to contribute to the country. This time, he made a miraculous feat in the pacification of Hedong, saved the people of Li from misery, and protected the society without borders, so that my subjects of the Great Song Dynasty were very fortunate, and it was really terrifying! Come on, watch tea for Xiao Jieshuai! ”

Xiao Tang and Su Yuanjing met for the first time, but after Xiao Tang sat down and thanked Su Yuanjing, and after the two were polite, Su Yuanjing asked Xiao Tang: "Xiao Jieshuai has been in Huazhou for a while, and he must know what happened in the city, He Zhifu was assassinated in his own mansion, and the people in Huazhou suddenly rushed to accuse the people of bending the law for personal gain, and doing all the pickled things, the assassination of the state official involved the crime of rebellion, and now the public resentment is boiling, and the official is also anxious...... I also heard that Xiao Jieshuai broke into the official residence of the prefect of He, and there was a conflict, I wonder if this is true? ”

Xiao Tang also knew that Su Yuanjing was deliberately testing himself with words, he smiled slightly, and said: "Yes, I was originally on a business trip in Hedong by the imperial order, and I was about to return to Jingshi, but it happened suddenly, but I happened to meet a gangster. After only a little inquiry, I learned that He Taishou did all the unconscionable things in private.

Su Taiwei, I also have to be the name of the Song Dynasty court, most of them were corrupted by some slanderous luck and favoritism of the country's stupid worms, so today the thieves and thieves are rampant, but if you want to trace back to the source, there are many because the court has neglected to supervise for a while, resulting in many corrupt officials and servants doing evil through the royal law, forcing many innocent thieves. I was planning to go to He Taishou after returning to Beijing, accuse him of public weapons for private use, and impeach this guy for the crime of rampant lawlessness in Huazhou and the fish and meat state capital, but I didn't expect that someone in the green forest would take He Taishou's life first. ”

Su Yuanjing didn't see any joy and anger on his face when he heard this, and he said: "This official is very troubled because of this matter, this lawsuit is not trivial, but it is impossible to trace the origin of the culprit, since the murderer who assassinated He Taishou left a message saying that it was done by the green forest strongman who fell into the grass at the boundary of Yongxing Military Road...... Xiao Jieshuai, I heard that you have a very good reputation in the rivers and lakes, and the righteous man who was born in the direct religion is famous for worship, according to your thoughts, where is this murder done by the strongmen who gathered in the green forest here? ”

Xiao Tang shook his head and said with a smile: "Taiwei Su said that I am joking, although I have some dealings with people in the rivers and lakes, I am also an old friend who abides by the law and does not commit such a big crime. The younger generation is also a courtier who eats the country, how can he be familiar with such thieves who assassinate state officials and commit great treacherous crimes? ”

"Great rebellion? But it may not be ......"

Of course, Xiao Tang could not reveal any clues about his assassination of He Taishou in front of Su Yuanjing, but Su Yuanjing seemed to be deeply touched, and said: "As the so-called white bi is slightly flawed, big and small flawed, my Great Song Dynasty has been passed down to the present, and there are indeed traitorous ministers interfering in politics, the state government slandering one party, and abusing officials and corrupt officials to frame the people of the world, how can it be rare?" As for He Taishou... Such a national stupid worm with such a bad reputation of the imperial court, perhaps the one who committed this murder was indeed a reckless man who did not obey the king's law, but the official wanted to say: Kill well! ”

Su Yuanjing can have such words, Xiao Tang is not surprised, although he, the Taiwei official, does not seem to have the prototype of the official history like other figures in the court in the Water Margin, such as Zheng Juzhong, Chen Qiang, Wang Xu, etc., but judging from the narrative in the original book, this Su Taiwei not only has to deal with Cai Jing, Tong Guan, Gao Yu and other powerful traitors, but also has a very tolerant attitude towards the people in the green forest where the grass gathers.

If you talk about uprightness, honesty and integrity, although this Su Yuanjing has also received a lot of benefits from Song Jiang, but it is not just about collecting money to do practical things, since he has been on the line with the people of Liangshan, he has been strongly recommending and recruiting the leaders of Song Jiang and recommending Liangshan soldiers and horses, and they are also thinking of not teaching the Great Song Dynasty to lose troops and lose generals, and waste money and food. Among the high-ranking officials in the Bianjing court, this Su Yuanjing is also one of the few strongmen who can be tolerant of strongman leaders who are born in the green forest and grassy but can be used by the country.

What's more, Xiao Tang also had a close friend with Su Yuanjing back then, and Wen Huanzhang, who is now presiding over civil affairs in Baozhou, Liaodong, talked about the personality of his old friend, Wen Huanzhang also said that Su Yuanjing not only treats people with a warm atmosphere, but also is kind and generous, and his opinions and positions are also very different from those other bureaucratic officials who have heavy habits and most of them are above the top.

The assassination of the state government official is indeed not trivial, but the Tiangao Emperor is far away, and the Bianjing court has learned about the content of the events that happened in Huazhou, and it is completely necessary to understand the ins and outs of the incident through the pleadings of the current chief judge Su Taiwei. Even if Xiao Tang is suspected in the assassination of He Taishou, how Su Yuanjing reports to the imperial court depends on his attitude towards Xiao Tang and this secret matter.

And Su Yuanjing said angrily, and then said: "Han Feizi said that Confucianism uses literature to mess with the law, and chivalry uses martial arts to violate the ban, but as the so-called chaotic times must have chivalry, and prosperous times must worship Confucianism, although my Great Song Dynasty is prosperous, there are also many officials who indiscriminately pollute the reputation of the court, and repeatedly make evil deeds by using power, and there are many loyal and righteous people who are forced to fall into the grass in the green forest and grass. Huazhou He Governor's Mansion is also like this, now someone in the green forest assassinated that guy, and the official also roughly knows a reason, if that group of people in the green forest is really a person who wants to eliminate evil and help good, this official has the intention to recruit that group of righteous people to surrender, and he will be able to make contributions to the court in the future. ”
