That night, Lin Zhao came to the Qingzhou Mansion on time, and in order to be low-key, he only brought Su An alone. Rao is like this, there is still a tail behind him, and after watching them enter the Qingzhou Mansion, he left immediately.

At the entrance of the mansion, there were already attendants waiting, and the two of them were directly introduced into the back garden.

The back house of Zhizhou Mansion is very spacious, and there are many houses, but unfortunately there is less elegance, it is not particularly good, but there are a few plum blossoms that bloom just right, there are lanterns hanging on the plum tree, under the light of the lights, the plum blossoms are more beautiful, very suitable for the occasion.

After the plum blossoms is a warm pavilion, at this moment the bright lamp is hanging high, the furnace is burning, and the steam of the tea stove is creaking. An old man sat by the fireside, staring out the window, sipping tea and appreciating plum blossoms.

"Junior Lin Zhao has seen Ouyang Gong!" Lin Zhao stepped forward quickly and saluted at the door, and the person in front of him must be Ouyang Xiu.

Ouyang Xiu turned around and laughed: "The old man is lazy and hasn't come out to greet him, don't you mind?" ”

"Where? It is already an honor to see Ouyang Gong's side, the night is cold and dewy, how dare you work again! Lin Zhao noticed that this master was about sixty years old, his beard was half white, and the wrinkles on his forehead were very deep but he did not look old. His eyes are gentle and deep, with a faint smile on his face, and he is very approachable.

Ouyang Xiu said with a smile: "Zigu (Zeng Gong) wrote a letter mentioning the experience of being an envoy to the Liao Kingdom, and praised you, saying that he was a rare young man, and the old man couldn't help but be curious and wanted to meet him." Today, I happened to see the white horse, and I guessed that it might be you, so I let my family take the liberty of asking, which is really good...... Since you pass through Qingzhou, let the old man do his best to be a landlord......"

"Ouyang Gong is polite, it's an honor to be here!" Lin Zhao couldn't help but sigh, it seems that the attraction of the white dragon is indeed high, so easy to attract attention...... A few days ago, it was the arrogant and domineering servant of the royal family, and now it is Ouyang Xiu, and the white dragon is about to become his own image spokesperson......

Ouyang Xiu said with a smile: "I heard Zeng Gong talk about your experience in Liaoguo, you are witty and brave, not bad......"

"Ouyang Gong praised it!" Lin Zhao was very modest.

If this praise spreads, Lin Zhao will definitely be a young man with a representative surname, and he will definitely become famous and widely favored and appreciated...... Whoever spoke was the Taidou Ouyang Xiu, of course, if he said a bad comment, he could almost ruin a person......

"Okay, Zigu's letter made the old man curious, so I invited you over for a cup of tea. The old man knows that you are in a hurry and have a heavy responsibility, so he won't let you drink! ”

Lin Zhao was surprised: "Ouyang Gong knows what I'm going to do?" ”

Ouyang Xiu said with a smile: "You are a favored figure by Your Majesty and the ministers of the court, you should have received a reward in Bianjing, but you appeared here...... Passing through Qingzhou to the east, it is clear where you are going. ”

Also! Lin Zhao thought about it, the court and China were arguing endlessly about the Ayun case, what kind of person Ouyang Xiu was, although he was not in Bianjing, he must know everything about this matter! So did he call himself just an accident, or was there something insightful?

"The younger generation is also nervous about taking on such a heavy responsibility, please forgive me for taking the liberty, can Ouyang Gong teach you a lesson or two?" Lin Zhao pondered for a moment and said it bluntly, which could be regarded as a test of Ouyang Xiu's purpose. It's just that the class has an axe, and it's really embarrassing.

To be honest, Ouyang Xiu's interest in Lin Zhao was entirely because of Zeng Gong's letters, and he appreciated Lin Zhao very much. Therefore, I can't help but wonder, the apprentice is also one of the best heroes, his eyes are above the top, and few people can see it in his eyes, why do they fancy such a young scholar? Maybe it's because I'm old, and I happen to meet and want to see it......

After meeting, he was not disappointed, Lin Zhao was handsome and chic, spoke decently, and was humble and polite. What's more, the emperor was able to send him as an envoy to Liao, and now he is going to Dengzhou, which shows that this son is extraordinary......

Not only that, but for some reason, Ouyang Xiu felt a sense of intimacy for no reason as soon as he saw Lin Zhao...... So when Lin Zhao asked, he didn't think too much, but really wanted to mention one or two......

Ouyang Xiu groaned: "As a minister, when you are loyal to the monarch and serve the country, especially when it comes to fairness and justice, only when you have a bowl of water, can you be convincing with what you say and do...... Don't be biased for someone or something...... Remember! ”

Lin Zhao understood that because he was born in Jiangning and was recommended by Wang Anshi, there are many traces of the new party in the eyes of many people.

As we all know, behind the Ayun case is actually a game between the two factions led by Wang Anshi and Sima Guang! Now I am looking for evidence, but what is the purpose of finding evidence? Judging from the expected result, it will be beneficial to Wang Anshi, so what will others think?

Doubts may continue, and the trouble in this matter may continue or even further intensify. And you may also fall into the center of the whirlpool, even if you prove your innocence in the end, you will lose or pay a lot, which is contrary to your own wishes......

I have to say that Ouyang Xiu's reminder is very timely, and he must be cautious in this matter. You can't easily get involved and get caught up in the whirlpool of party disputes......

Now he only thinks about fulfilling the emperor's mandate and upholding justice for Ayun...... As for attacking the opponent with this case, to be honest, Lin Zhao is still a little disdainful.

"The kid has been taught, thank you Ouyang Gong!"

Ouyang Xiu nodded approvingly, this son is young and promising, but he must not be tempted by fame and fortune, otherwise it is easy to go astray. I hope he can listen and think clearly......

As for Wang Anshi, no one doubts that he has no academic ability. But the temperament is too paranoid, and the big things are left to him to do, is it good to take it seriously? Will it be successful? The Great Song Dynasty couldn't afford to toss too much, and Ouyang Gong couldn't help but be faintly worried......

"Alright, sit down and have a cup of tea!"

Then an attendant stepped forward to pour tea, but he didn't want the tea to be too hot, so he couldn't hold it for a while, and he spilled it out, which happened to be sprinkled on Lin Zhao's chest......

Ouyang Xiu couldn't help frowning, such a rude behavior made him very unhappy, and said in a deep voice: "Why are you so careless?" Can Dongyang be burned? ”

"I'm sorry, my lord forgives my sins, and Mr. Lin forgives my sins!" The attendant hurriedly handed over a dry cloth......

Lin Zhao shook his head and said, "It's okay, don't worry!" ”

The clothes were thick and the tea was not spilled, so it was not burned. Lin Zhao took the dry cloth with his hand, unbuttoned the shirt on his chest, and wiped the water stains. At this moment, the piece of auspicious clouds and rising jade pendant hanging on his chest was revealed.

Because of the angle of the light, Ouyang Xiu happened to see it, and he couldn't help but move in his heart, this piece of jade ...... This pattern, in particular, seems to have been seen somewhere......

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

That night, Lin Zhao said goodbye to Ouyang Xiu, and continued to hurry to Dengzhou early the next morning!

The situation of Ah Yun's cousin and Wei Ah Da is actually very easy to investigate, and the results of Xu Zun's previous investigation may not be true...... Of course, Xu Zun cannot be blamed for this, because the original investigation results were not from him, but from Wendeng County, which is subordinate to Dengzhou......

After the case was reported, Xu Zun Bodhisattva only thought about exculpating Ah Yun, but he did not prevent the people below from committing fraud, failing to investigate dereliction of duty, and even colluding with the wicked. Later, after the surname of the case changed, everyone's eyes were attracted by the legal arguments in the court, and they all ignored the real situation of the case. It wasn't until Lin Zhao saw Yu Xuan that he realized that there was a problem at the root of the case......

As for the Wendeng County magistrate and the officials who initially investigated the case, they were naturally frightened, but the mistake had already been made, and no one had discovered it. Suo's surname will be wrong, silent, and let the bigwigs above argue endlessly. They are all aware of their role in this matter......

If Emperor Zhao sent officials from the Three Law Divisions to investigate with great fanfare, the officials of Wendeng County might still cover up and conceal the report. However, Lin Zhao and others came secretly, and it was much easier to investigate some things, and they soon learned the most real situation, and collected a lot of testimony and evidence.

Waiting for the evidence in hand, a smile appeared on the corner of Lin Zhao's mouth, and he couldn't imagine that some of his actions through his own hands would affect the changes in the situation of the Great Song Dynasty and the direction of the country's fortunes......

However, after being reminded by Ouyang Xiu, Lin Zhao realized that this matter was not so simple, and he still needed to be cautious about what role he should play in it......

For a while, I couldn't take much into account, when the north wind blew and the snowflakes began to fall. Lin Zhao didn't dare to delay longer, and immediately took Su An and a group of forbidden troops to return to Bianjing in the cold wind......
