Feng Bu and Han Zi both knew Su Cheng, and it was a little embarrassing to meet both of them on this occasion, but Su Cheng smiled and said: "It's okay, Su has an upright temperament, and he doesn't know how to beat around the bush when he speaks, and he will inevitably offend people. You have a public life, your responsibilities are related, and you are in charge of your own visits. My parents sent you here to wash away my grievances, and it's too late for someone Su to be happy, hahaha. ”

After saying yes, he turned sideways and stepped aside.

Under the guidance of Su Zheng, the housekeeper of the Su house, the group entered the Su family's mansion through the streets and alleys. Rummaging inside and out, Mo said carp, not even a fish bone was found, and when he asked the Su family's neighbors, they all said that Su Cheng never ate fish. Feng Bu's face turned blue and black, but he was secretly relieved in his heart.

Seeing that no evidence could be found in the search, Han Zi had already nodded and curried favor with Su Cheng, the team of the Tutuan was not a formal officer, and considering that he would have to mix in Chengwu County in the future, Han Zi's bones softened first.

Su Chengpi didn't smile, while responding to Han Zi, he stared at Li Mao coldly, obviously he already knew who was behind this big move.

Feng Bu coughed and asked Li Mao in a deep voice: "I'm afraid I can't find the fish, what should we do next?" Feng Bu's words were full of dissatisfaction, and his words were very loud, not only for Li Mao, but also for Su Cheng and all the people present. When Su Cheng heard this, he snorted proudly, the evidence of eating carp was not found, but Feng Bu turned back, this is very good, more exciting follow-up is worth looking forward to.

He was about to say a few words to Li Mao, but he heard a cough, and a white-haired old man walked out tremblingly with the support of two young men in Tsing Yi, it was Su Cheng's father, the former Chengwu County Judicial Zuo Su Gui.

When Feng Bu saw it, he hurriedly stepped forward to pay homage, when Su Gui was a judicial assistant in Chengwu County, Feng Bu had just made his debut, and the two were commensurate with master and apprentice, like father and son. Feng Bu bowed, and the four catchers who came with him also rushed forward to flatter, as for Han Zi's mouth, he couldn't close his smile anymore. Su Cheng couldn't help laughing, and when he looked at Li Mao again, his face was full of disdain.

Su Gui and Feng Bu talked about the old words, but they turned their eyes to Li Mao, raised their canes as a salute, and the elders took the initiative to salute, and Li Mao immediately returned to the courtesy of the juniors, with an attitude that was neither humble nor arrogant.

"My Su family is building bridges and roads in the township, helping the poor, and asking myself if I have done anything wrong. But as the saying goes, the tree is a big move, the family is a thief, even if it is a man with his tail between his legs, it is inevitable that he will be remembered by the villain, the villain falsely accuses my Su family, and the county sends someone to visit, good very well, this is to return my Su family a clean house. The old man is old, deaf, his legs and feet are stiff, he can't walk, can't sit in a car, can't ride a horse. Xue Mingfu has been guarding his hometown for more than a month, and the old man has not come to visit him, and the fault lies with Su Gui. When this is over, the old man will let the sons and nephews carry them in a sedan chair to the county to thank the kindness of Xue Mingfu. ”

Su Gui's words were hidden in the needle, they sounded good but very stinging, everyone ate and snickered, and sat back to see Li Mao's jokes. Li Mao was as calm as a mountain, and said: "Two days ago, someone reported to the county that there was a person named Su Cheng in Suxiaodu Township who violated the ban and stole carp, and claimed that if the county didn't care, he would sue the state. The county had no choice but to send Feng Judicial and Zai Xia to come to investigate, and if it was a false accusation, we would have to go back and pay the errand. ”

As soon as these words came out, the people around all showed disdain, tossing such a big scene with great fanfare, and just two times later, what is this, is it idle to come out and play in embarrassment?

"It's easy to say, it's easy to say, the old man has been on an errand in the county for many years, and he knows how powerful it is, so if someone complains, he should naturally check it." Seeing that Li Mao had the intention of stopping, Su Gui gave him a step down. Su Cheng didn't do it, he sneered hey, and shouted sourly: "Since I was wronged, does the county lord want to give Su Cheng an explanation?" ”

"Confess? What kind of explanation do you want? Li Mao asked calmly.

"Shut up!"

Su Guidun shouted angrily, and his face was swollen for a while.

Su Cheng twisted his neck and shouted unconvinced: "Why don't you let me say, I am a good person, but I was framed by a shameless villain, the county lord listens to and believes partially, so he sends someone to investigate with such fanfare, what he knows is that the eldest man loves the people like a son, and those who don't know think that I Su Cheng has committed some unsightly crime." Since the eldest lord has found out that I Su Cheng was wronged, I should be returned to my innocence! The annoying gold envoy stood at the intersection of the village and shouted in front of the whole village, saying that you mistakenly believed the villain's rumors and framed me. ”

"Bastard!" Su Gui broke off and waved his cane to beat his son, and for a while he used too much force, which made his heart feel distressed like a knife, and he couldn't help coughing violently. The servant hurriedly held him up, patted his heart, rubbed his heart, and worked for a while but there was still no improvement.

The housekeeper Su Zheng glanced at Su Cheng and shouted, "What are you doing in a daze, help me back quickly, call Lang Zhong." ”

As soon as he saw that his father was itchy, Su Cheng was immediately furious, he pointed at Li Mao's nose and scolded: "The surname is Li, I am not done with you about this matter." He was about to follow up with the inner hall, but was stopped by Han Zi, who bowed and persuaded him shyly: "Da Lang, look at my face, this matter is just like that, although the gold envoy should not listen to the villain's words, but the intentions are also good, and besides, it is also for official business, and how much you have to take into account the dignity of the county." ”

Han Zi's words were clearly to persuade peace, but in fact he was fanning the flames, clearly helping Li Mao speak, but in fact it was creating an opportunity for Su Cheng to go berserk. Li Mao is about to lose, if he doesn't catch up with him at this moment, when will he wait? As the saying goes, "the iron-clad Yamen is the flowing official", no matter how majestic the county order is, it is always going to go, but the Su family is rooted in Chengwu County, and it is not clear who will step on whom the two are compared.

"Forget it? Think beautifully! Xue Mingfu's face is a face, isn't my Su Cheng's face a face? I don't object to you Li Mao wanting to make a meritorious service, but don't put the basin on Lao Tzu's head! If you don't make it clear today, no one will think of me Su Xiaodu! Is it easy to bully when Lao Tzu?! ”

There was silence all around, Feng Bu hid in the inner hall under the pretext of visiting Su Gui, the four catchers all lowered their heads and black faces, standing like wooden stakes, and the fifty native soldiers were giggling, waiting to see Li Mao's joke.

At this moment, when the head entered the courtyard, a rough voice suddenly shouted: "Brother Su, I am Han Si, I have brought fish to Da Lang." The big red carp that I just caught this morning, raised in a wicker cage for a day, is alive and kicking, hey, look at how happy it is. ”

With a "squeak" sound, the door of the Erdao Courtyard was pushed open, and a fisherman wearing a hat and a brown shirt walked in with two big red carps.
