Xu Shangzhen finally returned to normal after a few days of cultivation, and now he is sitting in the study, looking at these calligraphy and paintings hanging on the wall, and a trace of inseparability flashes in his heart.

muttered softly: "I have been buying these things all these years, but I have tightened my belt...... First, do not compete with the people for profit, and second, do not bend the law for bribes...... It's really ...... Alas. ”

The Ming Dynasty's Yulu is really very low, even if the previous dynasties will add some appropriately, but for a prefect, Yulu is still very little.

As a result, the Beijing officials can often only exploit from the magistrates, and the magistrates can only ask the people for it. It stands to reason that the officials in Suzhou are all fat poor, after all, the prosperous place of Suzhou is an important tax town in the Ming Dynasty.

In the past, officials were often fattened in Suzhou, but since Xu Shangzhen took office, he has always been very poor.

First, he is good at collecting calligraphy and paintings, which is not a small amount, and secondly, he is really honest as an official.

At this time, guarding these calligraphy and paintings, Xu Shangzhen regretted it even more, because he had already made a very firm decision, that is, to burn all these treasures that he had worked hard for decades.

The brazier was already lit with tongues of fire, and it would soon swallow up these hard work, and Xu Shangzhen's heart was really dripping blood.

This is Li Mengyang's ...... back then This is Xu Wei's, but Xu Wei's paintings are hard to find......"

Saying this, he closed his eyes fiercely, and was about to throw this handwritten painting of Xu Wei into the brazier, but suddenly heard a loud shout, "Governor Xu, what are you doing." ”

Just when Xu Shangzhen was stunned, the painting in his hand had been snatched away by the man, and the brazier was also knocked over to the ground by the other party and thrown out of the study.

"Lin Qianhu, don't stop me...... It was all because of my negligence...... Now it has affected Mr. Shen...... He has been wronged, and I can not rest assured. ”

As he spoke, Xu Shangzhen immediately grabbed another painting and was about to tear it up, but was snatched by Li Zhutou, who immediately rushed in again, and he said in a deep voice: "My lord...... Things are still turning around. ”

"Turnaround?" Xu Shangzhen looked at Li Zhutou blankly, and suddenly showed a look of joy, but soon showed a decadent look, and said with a wry smile: "Why do you bother to make fun of me...... The only witness is dead because of my negligence......"

Lin Qianhu, who was on the side, suddenly showed a hint of surprise, and hurriedly asked: "What is the turning point that Li Zhutou said...... I don't know what's going on? ”

Li Zhutou glanced at Xu Shangzhen, and he was hesitant, and he didn't say what the turning point was for a while.

Lin Qianhu couldn't help but smile embarrassedly, hugged his fists, and said, "...... first."

"No, Lin Qianhu is his own people." Xu Shangzhen waved his hand and said, "Li Zhutou, you say yes, there are no outsiders here." ”

Li Zhutou hesitated a little on his face, but still said in a deep voice: "There is definitely not one witness, and it is not Zhang Quan and Li Xinglong who know the whole story...... Maybe even the two of them don't know the truth of the matter......"

"What do you mean?" Xu Shangzhen looked anxious and hurriedly asked.

Li Zhutou sneered and sneered: "Father-in-law Qi is a hundred secrets after all, and he can't do this alone...... So there must have been someone to help, and the two little eunuchs who served him, one of them was named Shunzi and the other was named Guizi...... These days, this person named Guizi is quite loved by Father-in-law Qi. ”

"Katsurako." Lin Qianhu suddenly exclaimed, and soon he realized that he had lost his color, and coughed dryly to cover it up: "Then you and I will immediately go and bring this Guizi back to the Yamen, and I will be severely interrogated." ”

Li Zhutou hurriedly stopped Lin Qianhu, who was about to leave, shook his head and said, "If you go to arrest people so rashly, you will definitely startle the snake...... Why don't you and I act quietly? ”

Lin Qianhu immediately agreed, and then the two agreed to do it tonight and go to the weaving bureau to bring the guizi back to the yamen.

Night.

The two had already changed into night clothes and sneaked towards the weaving bureau.

Both of them were highly educated, and their kung fu was by no means ordinary, and they soon jumped into the weaving bureau.

Lin Qianhu walked in front, his face was hurried, and he walked quickly not far away, but Li Zhutou, who was walking behind, hesitated a little and asked softly: "Lin Qianhu is very familiar with this place?" ”

Lin Qianhu was stunned for a moment, and said busily: "How many times have you been here...... It's not familiar, and I used to live in an inn, not in the Weaving Bureau. ”

Li Zhutou pondered for a while before he said, "Then how do you know where to go......

Lin Qianhu was stunned again, and only said after a long time: "I don't know where to go, so I just walked around here to see if I could find that Guizi......"

Li Zhutou answered, and then said: "There is a pavilion over there in the Weaving Bureau...... Guizi usually lives in that pavilion...... It's just that Father-in-law Qi is often over there. ”

"How did Li Zhutou know this?" Lin Qianhu immediately questioned.

Li Zhutou slowly leaned into Lin Qianhu's ear, suddenly smiled in a low voice, and said slowly: "This is a secret ......"

Lin Qianhu suddenly blushed, and said coldly: "Li Zhutou is not joking with it...... There are dangers everywhere here, and if you startle the snakes, then how can it be. ”

Li Zhutou suddenly looked bitter and said in a low voice: "Yes, yes." …… I've always been cynical...... Brother Lin, forgive me......"

Lin Qianhu saw that the other party had already admitted his mistake, so he didn't want to say anything, and immediately followed the other party in the direction of the pavilion.

Before they reached the vicinity of the pavilion, the two saw that there were constantly patrolling guards walking back and forth, but they didn't know what to do for a while.

After the two of them observed for a while, Lin Qianhu snorted coldly and said in a low voice: "Brother Li, you come to cover me, lure these guards away, and I will rush in and take that Guizi away......"

"Never...... This side is heavily guarded, and Brother Lin doesn't know what's going on inside...... It's still going down, you come to cover me......" After Li Zhutou finished saying this, he immediately rushed towards the pavilion in a flash.

When Lin Qianhu came back to his senses, Li Zhutou had already run away, so he had to rush forward to stop the guards who were about to be pursued. He is not weak in kung fu, and he is not a problem to deal with these guards.

It's just that there are many guards, and he can't get out for a while, so he has to fight and retreat to buy some time for Li Zhutou.

Suddenly, he heard a loud shout, but it was Li Zhutou's voice, Lin Qianhu's face changed greatly, and he said in a deep voice: "Brother Li, how are you...... Do you want to help ......?"

A heavy voice immediately came from the pavilion: "The person has been caught, but I didn't expect an ambush...... Brother Lin covered me to leave ......"

As he spoke, the door of the pavilion, which had just been closed, was slammed open, and then a man covered in blood rushed out, and he was carrying a burden on his shoulders, as if he were pretending to be a person.

Seeing this, Lin Qianhu immediately saw the crumbling Li Zhutou, and the two jumped out of the courtyard wall and hurriedly ran in the direction of the yamen.

Lin Qianhu looked at Li Zhutou, who was covered in blood, and asked in a low voice, "Brother Li, are you okay...... Give this man to me......"

Li Zhutou seemed to be a little nervous, and he didn't know what to say, but he didn't give Lin Qianhu the burden he was carrying on his shoulders, but grabbed it tighter.

Lin Qianhu didn't say much more, and ran towards the yamen with Li Zhutou in his arms, and after a long time, he gradually threw off the pursuers behind him.

At this time, the door of the yamen was still open, which was exactly what had been agreed before, so the two of them didn't have to think too much about it, and quickly rushed into the yamen hall.

As soon as he walked into the lobby, Li Zhutou fell to the ground in response, and the burden he was holding in his hand also rolled to the ground.

For a moment, there was silence in the yamen, and no one was there except for a few oil lamps that still flickered faintly.

Lin Qianhu glanced at the burden on the ground, and then at Li Zhutou, who had passed out, a trace of coldness flashed in his eyes, and then he took out the embroidered spring knife from his waist, and then swung the knife to slash at the burden.

The blade slid down with the wind, but instead of landing on the baggage, it was blocked by another knife, sending out a burst of sparks.

"You're a mole......"

Suddenly, the fire in the hall of the yamen flickered, illuminating the kindness of the entire hall.

Then Xu Shangzhen slowly walked to the court in official uniforms, and then sat under the high hanging mirror, and the shocking wood rang immediately, and he said in a deep voice: "Lin Qianhu, what else do you have to say." ”

Lin Qianhu was speechless for a while, he glanced at Li Zhutou, who was wiping the blood on his face, clenched the scimitar in his hand, blocked his embroidered spring knife, and muttered in a low voice: "It's been calculated by you......"

Li Zhutou chuckled, then jumped up, and said, "Today, Lord Qi came back from the capital, so Governor Zhao picked up the wind for him in Deyue Tower...... How could this old man, who had never looked down on eunuchs, not like it when he came to pick him up...... So I borrowed the weaving bureau overnight, but I didn't expect ......"

"It's kind of interesting...... Then this so-called Guizi is also fake? Lin Qianhu's face turned pale and he sneered in a low voice.

Li Zhutou nodded, suddenly shook his head again, and said, "This Guizi is naturally fake...... But the real Guizi is indeed in the house. ”

"You ......" Lin Qianhu suddenly said angrily: "You have already caught Guizi, but you have come to play this play again...... When did I reveal the flaws. ”

Xu Shangzhen, who had been sitting in the hall for a long time and had not spoken, suddenly smiled faintly and said, "This mansion has been an official for decades...... But this time, it was not the old man who saw it, but Mr. Shen......"

"Shen Wuyan." Lin Qianhu nodded knowingly, and suddenly laughed loudly: "It's really a pity to die in the hands of Shen Wuyan......"

Li Zhutou smiled slightly and said, "You can't die yet...... You're going to see it all as it is. ”

"The whole face?" Lin Qianhu said curiously.

Xu Shangzhen chuckled and said, "This matter was not so simple from the beginning...... Mr. Shen said that you should make your death more exciting...... And that's just the beginning......"

Li Zhutou said again: "Mr. Shen asked me to tell Your Excellency a word, he said that in this world he only believes in two people, one is himself, and the other is not you. ”
