Chapter Ninety-Nine: The Lord of the Fusi of Beizhen (I)

"Oh, it's Xu Cheng's nephew?"

Everyone in the audience turned their eyes to Xu Zhen for a while. Xu Zhen had just exchanged glances with Fu Rong, and at this time he was finally not in a hurry, and immediately stood up, and after saluting several officials, he cleared his throat and roughly explained Xu Xun's origin, and then talked about the words on the Qingping Tower, and finally told the reason for the change in the Xu family's ancestral hall. Seeing that Fei Kai's face was fine at first, but when he heard that Zhao Qin had also mixed up in the Xu family's family affairs, Fei Kai's face was a little unnatural, and Xu Kai couldn't help but glance at Fu Rong, and then raised his voice.

"At that time, I felt that my brother and a group of relatives bullied an orphan without parents was really excessive, who expected that Lord Zhao would come out to question his background. After some heated debate at that time, Xu Xun told the truth, but he donated all the acres of land, one is to build water conservancy, and the other is to renovate the tribute courtyard, such a young age has such a meritorious heart, which should be greatly praised by the imperial court, who would have expected that Lord Zhao would hold on to a small servant beside him, if it weren't for Gonggong Fu to send someone forward, he would even reject this kind deed! ”

Just above this public court, Li Yifeng, a thousand households of the Jinyi Wei Assistant Beizhen Fu Division, was ordered to come to investigate Zhao Qin's matter has been revealed, and at this time, everyone knows that Xu Zhensuo, who stood in line early, beat the water dog and classified Zhao Qin and Xu's family room as a raccoon dog. At this moment, except for Fei Kai and Peng Li, who were involved with Zhao Qin, most of the civil officials frowned, and while praising Xu Xun's heart of learning and kindness, they couldn't help but pity the orphan's situation; For example, a martial artist like Zhu Fu or a eunuch like Zheng Qiang can't help but appreciate this kind of blood and strength that can afford to let go. As a result, Xu Xunren, who filed the complaint, had not yet come in, and the hall was amazed for a while.

Although Xu Li said that he helped Fu Rong a little in Guozijian, he didn't expect the situation to change so drastically, and at this time, he regretted his previous inaction, and naturally praised him at this time: "I have seen this young man, he can be so generous at a young age, and discipline those rich families who have a lot of money but have nothing to do with it!" ”

"Isn't it?" Fu Rong glanced around at everyone with a smile, and his eyes deliberately stayed on Fei Kai and Peng Li's faces for a few more moments, "Speaking of which, I'm not afraid of your jokes, my family Hengan was squeezed by someone some time ago, and he fell into the river early in the morning because of drunkenness, if he hadn't been saved by this Xu Xun jumping into the water, this life would have almost been lost!" At that time, this Xu family was injured by a few ruffians and the like, and the injury was not healed to have this righteous act, so our family held a banquet on the Qingping floor to thank him once. Zhao Qin, a Nanke official, actually got involved in the Xu family's affairs, as far as our family knows, it seems that it is Xu Xun's hundreds of acres of land, but the ridiculous people donated it, he is unrelentingly entangled, where is he still like a scholar, Sven sweeps the floor! ”

"What Grandpa Fu said is extremely true!" Zheng Qiang has to act in a low-key manner behind closed doors these days, and he has long been panicked, and today he seized such an opportunity to fight back, where would he let it go lightly, and immediately sneered, "Zhao Qin's bad deeds have not been a day or two, and I don't know how those who are good friends with him can turn a blind eye and ignore it!" ”

To say that Zhu Fu, the Duke of Chengguo, originally had nothing to do with himself, but he was asked by Fei Kai to send soldiers, and at this time, seeing that Peng Li and Fei Kai were both looking bad, he had to cough dryly and said: "Since someone knows Xu Xun, let Shen Tuiguan go to pick up the pleadings and come to the trial." There are still important things at the moment, and it's not too late to let go of his stubble first. ”

"Wait."

As soon as Zhu Fu's voice fell, this voice came. Everyone followed the prestige, and only then did they find that it was Yin Wuxiong of Yingtianfu sitting on the main seat. Although Wu Xiong was sick, and there were several people present who had a higher official position than him, but after all, Ying Tianfu was dominated by Wu Xiong, even if Peng Li was very unhappy for a while, Fei Kai also secretly hated Wu Xiong for many things, but he could only listen to what he said.

Although Xu Zhen was not a serious Jinshi, and his promotion experience was also the way of the Duke of Wei, Wu Xiong was more talented, and he was originally very satisfied with Xu Zhen's kung fu in the case, plus Xu Zhen's occasional words could speak to his heart. At this time, listening to everyone's words and me, he gradually gave birth to a little love for Xu Xun.

"Let that Xu Xun come in. He was originally one of the bitter masters in the matter of what he was talking about, so why not listen to what he had to say! Without waiting for anyone to object, he said with a straight face, "The one hundred and ten people just now, I was going to see it, but in case something happened, I could only order him to go down and settle it first, and now he is the only one, he is known to Duke Fu and Duke Wei Guo, and he is related to Xu Shi, so it's okay to see him!" Besides, now that the matter of the Wende Bridge on the Qinhuai River has been spread, most of you are like me, and you can be called the parents of this Ming Nanjing City, how can it be regarded as a trivial matter? ”

With Wu Xiong's words, Shen Tuiguan hurriedly saluted and went out. When he arrived at the main entrance, he saw that Xu Xun was still standing there with the same straight body as when he left, so he changed to a smile that was far more kind than just now.

"Xu Xun, Wu Dayin and all the adults want to see you, come in!"

Although Xu Xun guessed that there might be other bigwigs in Ying Tianfu at this time, Shen Tuiguan's statement undoubtedly confirmed his guess, coupled with the other party's unusually enthusiastic attitude, he immediately bent down to thank him, and then followed Shen Tuiguan inside. Along the way, seeing that Shen Tuiguan did not take matters into his business, but deliberately slowed down his pace, only half a step ahead of him, and counted all the bigwigs in the lobby in the lobby during the conversation, he knew that the other party intended to remind him, and when he was about to arrive in the lobby, he said a word softly.

"Thank you Shen Tuiguan for your kindness, if you can, you will be rewarded!"

Shen Tuiguan has been a criminal for many years, and his methods of handling cases are sharp, but he is a slippery person, and he has come all the way to sell personal favors, seeing that the other party understands, he is very satisfied, and after thinking for a while, he reminded the last and most important sentence: "It just so happens that the imperial court has a will, and Li Yifeng and Li Qianhu of the assistant Beizhen Fusi were sent from the capital to investigate the case of Zhao Qin in the engineering department, if you have grievances, you can speak freely, and you don't have to hide it." ”

The capital really came, and it was such a critical day!

In this whole day, Xu Xun has experienced the most ups and downs in this life, and hearing about this matter is not so much a relief as a sigh of emotion in his heart. However, when he followed Shen Tuiguan into the threshold of the lobby, he immediately put away those scattered thoughts and stepped forward to greet him. Fortunately, compared with what he imagined to be a kowtow worm, it was just that after kneeling, the old man with gray sideburns sitting on the main seat bowed his head and said, "This is not in the public court, get up and speak." ”

The so-called observation of people is always inseparable from their appearance, their words and deeds, and their bearing. Wu Xiong has read countless people in the officialdom for many years, and seeing Xu Xun's saluting action is like flowing water, it is pleasing to the eye, and after hearing the words, he stood up calmly, but he was neither humble nor arrogant, and when he asked a few words casually, this young man who was only fifteen or sixteen years old not only coped with it properly, but also spoke fluently, he couldn't help but nod even more, and actually looked at Xu Xun and said: "In the end, it is the junior you fancie, not bad." ”

Wu Xiong's appreciation of Xu Xun Xu Xun could not be taken to heart, however, he couldn't help but take his praise to heart when he said this, and he was overjoyed for a while. Fortunately, he has been immersed in silver in officialdom for some years, and he knows that such happiness cannot be put on his face, so he hurriedly humbled a few words. Unexpectedly, at this moment, Peng Li said as if he had no intention: "If it is according to what Xu experienced first, isn't this Xu Xun no longer belonging to the Xu family in Taipingli?" ”

When Xu Yi heard this, Xu Li, the Duke of Wei, said slowly: "The elder is not benevolent, and the Xu family's long house actually colludes with outsiders, which is not enough to succeed Zongyi, so I think it is time to choose another talent." As for the first to come out of the sect, of course, it can not be counted as ......"

At the beginning, he did not hesitate to scatter all his family wealth, Xu Xun wanted to get rid of the Xu family, at this time, Xu Xun was afraid that his good intentions would do bad things, and he was about to speak, but Fu Rong coughed lightly.

"Xu Xun's life experience is indeed unclear, the past is over, and the current business is important." Gently and skillfully diverted the topic, he turned against Xu Xun and asked, "Xu Xun, you just beat the drum outside the Yingtianfu Yaya, saying that it was the Zhao family who forced you to marry, so you forced your fiancΓ©e to throw yourself into the water." Is this your hearsay, or what? ”

"I saw it with my own eyes."

Xu Xun saw that everyone was listening attentively, and immediately told him how he went to the Shen family, how he learned the news from the Shen family all the way along Gongyuan Street, how he saw Miss Shen throw herself into the river, how she jumped into the river with others to save people, and how she saw those people scooping up the phoenix crown and the pieces of jewelry, but there was no trace of anyone...... He was already a good eloquent, and he spoke so eloquently that even his eyes were red when he was emotional, not to mention the other people who heard Shen Yue's words at this time.

"What a martyr's daughter of the Shen family...... That Zhao Qin is really a bastard! ”

Fu Rong opened his mouth and scolded bitterly, and then he didn't look at Peng Li and Fei Kai, who were sitting on pins and needles over there, and just looked around at everyone: "This Ying Tianfu has not commended the festival martyrs for many years, should the Shen family report to the imperial court to praise them?" ”

Peng Li, the governor of Nanzhili, immediately frowned: "Gonggong Fu's words are too child's play, right?" I heard that the Shen family broke out back then, and they did all kinds of illegal things......"

"Oh, so to speak, Zhao Qin doesn't even care about the illegal things that the Shen family has done, and he wants to marry the Shen family as his daughter-in-law...... Hey, isn't it self-evident that he's stealing other people's property? Fu Rong caught the flaw in Peng Li's words, and immediately grabbed it, "Besides, if he knows about it but still forces him to marry the Shen family's daughter, then the coercion of the marriage can also be confirmed!" ”

Zheng Qiang also helped: "Yes, even if the Shen family has any minor crimes, as long as it is not a heinous crime, such a strong daughter can withstand it!" ”

After Wu Xiong asked, Xu Xun never found a chance to speak, so he could only look at the big men in the hall and talk about it, but at this moment, hearing everyone talking about a Shen girl, remembering the scene when Shen Yue cried and complained that he couldn't go back to the Shen family, Xu Xun took a breath, and then suddenly opened his mouth loudly.

"My Excellency, I still don't know anything. As an official of the imperial court, Zhao Qishi knew the law and broke the law, knowing that Miss Shen had a marriage contract, but forced her to marry, and even forced someone to commit suicide; Knowing that the kid had donated the hundreds of acres of thin fields, he still instigated the Xu family to write a letter to Yingtianfu to sue me. For the sake of coming and going, it is for the hundreds of acres of paddy fields that the Xu family and the Shen family are connected in Jurong. He is so fearless, is he simply coveting so much land? It must be known that over the years, he has obtained more than that! ”

As soon as the words fell, a calm voice came from outside.

"Zhao Qin naturally doesn't just want those lands, this person has the danger of mountains and rivers in his chest, and the strictness of the city in his belly, which can be described as bold!"
