"Okay, since the two of you are so resolute," the clay man still has three points of the surname, Gui Youguang finally got angry, he dusted off his dusty clothes, got up and said: "Then Gui Mou will not be forced, anyway, the road is facing the sky, let's go to the side." After saying that, he brushed his sleeves and left.

As soon as he went out in a huff, Gui Youguang saw the silent personal guard Sanqi smiling...... To be precise, it was secretly sending autumn waves to the little lady selling sour plum noodles across the street.

The behavior who has no mind will be three-foot, and Gui Guangxin said: 'It turns out that the adult has arrived!' Some of them leaped for joy, as if a wronged child had seen a dependent...... Although according to the age of the two, it should be reversed, but the ambition is not too old, and the cowardice is not too old, but it is not a big deal.

He followed Sanchi to a nearby restaurant, and saw the silence on the top floor.

"My lord......" Gui Youguang said in a deep voice.

"Sit down and talk." Shen Mo smiled slightly, as warm as a spring breeze, which reduced Gui Youguang's depression a lot.

"Hey......" Gui Youguang sighed, sat down and said, "My lord, I think the two of them are colluding to drive you to the fire and roast!" ”

"What do you mean?" Shen Mo took a chopstick bamboo shoot, chewed slowly, and said, "Are Hai Rui and Zhu Qianshou a gang?" ”

"Yes." Gui Youguang nodded affirmatively, and told Shen Mo what he had seen and heard today.

After listening to Gui Youguang's narration, he was silent for a full quarter of an hour, and finally laughed self-deprecatingly: "Zhenchuan Gong, why does everyone think that I must be a lackey of the Xu family?" ”

"Your Excellency...... I know you're not. Gui Youguang said softly.

"I know you're comforting me, but I'm really not," Shen Mo shook his head and said, "Although Elder Xu Ge has accepted me, and I am very grateful to him, this does not mean that I will sell everything I have to him." Saying that, he lowered his voice and said, "Besides, I have only one teacher, and it's not him Xu Ge Lao." ”

"This ...... The subordinates naturally know, but they can't let Qingliu know and let the people of the world know. Gui Youguang whispered.

"You're right......" Shen Mo nodded slowly. People in the world have always despised the masters and apprentices of the profession, and valued the protégés. The reason for this is nothing more than that the former is an academic master and apprentice; The latter is officialdom. Most of the teachers are 'retiring, hiding, resigning, and not working', and after sending the students to the examination room, they can't help much; and the officialdom is a high-ranking official in the ministry and hall, who can bring shade and connection, and there are also brothers and sisters who are in the same spirit, which is extremely important to a person's career.

The world is utilitarian, and compared with the two, they all believe that the master and apprentice of officialdom are the real master and apprentice; On the contrary, the teachers who really preached and taught and solved doubts were forgotten intentionally or unintentionally.

"Don't ask, Hai Rui and that Zhu Qianshou also think the same way." Shen Mo said: "So they want to make a big deal about this matter and alarm the imperial court, even if they can't let the emperor ask, they have to let Xu Ge Lao's political enemies know......"

"You're saying they're trying to kill people with a knife?" Gui Youguang asked in surprise.

"Well, their two knives can also kill chickens, and there is nothing they can do about the Xu family." Shen Mo bowed his head and said, "That's why I thought of this method." ”

"It's so naïve!" Gui Youguang said angrily: "This is **naked coercion, thinking that he is high and despicable!" ”

"Hehe......" Shen Mo smiled bitterly: "It's so despicable that I can't talk about it, but it does hurt me enough - in the eyes of outsiders, I am the umbrella of the Xu family; Xu Ge Lao would think that I was instructed from behind, and I was bound to ask Zhu Bajie to look in the mirror, and he was not a person inside and out. ”

"My lord, you have to think of a way quickly," Gui Youguang said nervously, "You can't let them succeed!" ”

"Hmm." Shen Mo nodded and said, "I'll go back to Fucheng, and you can pass Zhu Qianshou to me." ”

"What about Hai Jui?" Gui Youguang asked.

"I don't want to see him." Shen Mo said softly.

Returning to the light heart said. It seems that the adults were hurt by Hai Rui this time.

Soon after Shen Mo returned to Suzhou City, Zhu Qianshou was brought by Gui Youguang.

In the signing room, Shen Mo asked Zhu County Commander to sit down, and asked casually: "How are the five tigers arrested?" ”

"I was about to report to my lord," Zhu Qianshou also said calmly: "I don't know who leaked the news, the five of them fled when they heard the news, and they should have gone to Songjiang." ”

"Oh......" Shen Mo nodded slowly, "I will move Wen Songjiang and ask Lord Wang to help investigate this matter." Saying that, he glanced at Zhu Qianshou and said, "I want to work hard and wish Lord Zhu to run this trip." ”

"Extremely willing." Zhu Qianshou got up and took the order: "Please give me an official document, and the next official will go to Songjiang." ”

"Don't worry," Shen Mo smiled, "One more thing. ”

Zhu Qianshou had no choice but to sit down again and said, "Please show me." ”

"It's about the Haixian Order," Shen Mo asked, "He disappeared in Kunshan County before and has not returned, may I ask Lord Zhu if he knows his whereabouts?" ”

Zhu Qianshou knew that Shen Mo asked knowingly, and his face couldn't help but have a fever and said, "Lord Hai is in the yamen of the lower officials." ”

"If he doesn't go back to Cheung Chau, why are he staying with you?" Shen Mo asked.

"Recuperate." Zhu Qianshou swallowed and foamed.

"Who wounded him?" Shen Mo suddenly became nervous, and said in a deep voice: "It's really bold, you dare to hurt the imperial court officials!" ”

"Yes...... The subordinate of the subordinate of the inspection department of the people. Zhu Qianshou whispered: "It's a pure misunderstanding. ”

"Don't keep trying to get by!" Silent and said: "Don't you tell the truth about Lord Hai's injury?" ”

Zhu Qianshou felt the aggressiveness of Lord Fuzun, although he had expected this possibility, but when he really faced it, he still saw sweat on his forehead, and said a little nervously: "It's still for that case, because the lower official instructed the inspection department to keep an eye on Weijiazhuang at all times, and once there is a suspicious person, he will be sent to the county seat." Speaking of this, he had regained his composure and said: "Who would have thought that Lord Hai did not bring any entourage, but went to Weijiazhuang in the clothes of ordinary people, and inquired about Wei Youtian from door to door. ”

"It's bad luck, too." Zhu Qianshou sighed and said: "When it was sent to the county office, the lower officials were going out of the city to hunt down the 'Five Tigers', so they put Hai Daren in a prison and spent the night. As he spoke, he looked at Shen Mo and said, "Adults may not know that the prison for lawbreakers is the most dangerous place in the world......

"Needless to say," Shen Mo raised his hand and stared at Zhu Qianshou expressionlessly...... This Zhu Qianshou has sharp teeth and seamless rhetoric, and arguing with him is just a futile speech, so he opened fire directly: "You told me a few days ago that you have closely monitored the Five Tigers, why are you letting them escape from Kunshan now?" ”

Zhu Qianshou sighed in his heart, not catching the 'Five Tigers' was the only thing he was worried about so far...... But he felt that it was because of Shen Mo who secretly reported the letter, and the five tigers were able to escape from Kunshan one step earlier. In view of the habitual psychology of 'being a thief', he felt that Shen Mo would not make a fuss about it, but pushed the boat with the flow, as he said at the beginning, moved Songjiang, and then passed the buck and fooled the matter.

Who knew that this silence actually hit a rake and asked himself this question! Zhu Qianshou couldn't help but be angry: "Why is this happening? Adults should know better than I do! ”

"I don't know." The last smile on Shen Mo's face disappeared, like a long sword unsheathed.

"If someone hadn't reported the news, how could the Five Tigers have gotten the news in advance?" Zhu Qianshou said without concessions: "And the task of capturing them, the subordinates did not mention it to anyone, even if the other party is clever, it should not be impossible to catch any of them." ”

Shen Mo couldn't be splashed with sewage by him, and said coldly: "I haven't mentioned this matter to anyone, even Gui Youguang doesn't know." ”

"Then how did you run away?" Zhu Qianshou asked.

"That's a question you should answer yourself!" Shen Mo leaned back in the chair, clasped his hands in front of his chest, and said coldly: "Let's be straight, this official suspects that you wish Qianshou is the umbrella of the Kunshan Five Tigers!" ”

"Impossible!" Zhu Qianshou beard all said: "I wish Qianshou to stand up to the sky and the earth, and I am worthy of admiration, how can I be in cahoots with those pickles?!" ”

"Impossible?" Shen Mo sneered, clapped his hands and said, "Come on, call Wei Youtian over!" "When he came back yesterday, he had already taken Wei Laohan from the Changzhou County Ya.

Wei Youtian was quickly brought in, and Shen Mo had seen him last night. When he knew that it was the son who listened to his singing, it turned out to be Lord Fuzun, Wei Laohan was overjoyed, and felt that there was hope for revenge.

When Shen Mo called him to the signing room and told him that this was the Kunshan County Order, Wei Laohan's eyes radiated a light of hatred.

"Old Wei, tell your family's grievances as they are." Shen Mo looked at Zhu Qianshou, whose face was uncertain, and said, "Everything is decided by the official!" ”

Wei Youtian told Zhu Qianshou about his grievances again, although he had said it many times, but every time he mentioned it, he couldn't help but burst into tears and complained: "...... My two sons went to the county to file a complaint, but who knew that Xu Wu had bought the fake work of the injury examination and asked him to give false testimony. As a result, the man pretended to inspect it for a while, and said that my son only had bruises, not injuries, and he accidentally knocked himself to death! Speaking of this, Wei Youtian was extremely angry, pointed at Zhu Qianshou and said: "My two sons saw that the government not only did not make decisions for the grass people, but helped Xu Wu to give false testimony, and they were so angry that they scolded the official master for being corrupt and perverting the law. As a result, he angered the county lord and ordered my two sons to be slapped with the board, and then sent to prison! They also expelled my father and daughter from Kunshan County and forbade us to go back......"

After listening to Wei Youtian's words, Shen Mo asked with a gloomy face: "Zhu County Order, is he telling the truth?" ”

"Everything is true," Zhu Qianshou said softly, "but the truth is not what he imagined." ”

"Don't tell me the truth!" Shen Mo slapped the table heavily, and thundered loudly: "This official once asked you about Wei Laohan, how did you answer me, say!" ”

The momentum of "uninformed ......" Zhu Qianshou has been completely overwhelmed.

"It doesn't seem that you didn't remember your ......surname at all," Shen Mo sneered, and asked sharply, "Aren't you deceiving Shangguan?" Isn't it in cahoots with those pickles, what is it? As he spoke, his face tightened, and he said: "Just to deceive the official and cover up the suspect, the official can take off your black yarn and send it to Yanjing City!" ”

Zhu Qianshou was completely stunned, stunned and speechless.

Shen Mo took advantage of the victory and pursued: "What did you do with the two sons of the Wei family, and you still didn't recruit them from the truth?" ”

After being silent for a long time, Zhu Qianshou finally squeezed out two words and said: "No comment......"

"Good!" Shen Mo smiled and said, "You have nothing to say, there is always someone to say!" As he spoke, he said: "This official announced that the case of Wei Youtian in Kunshan County, because of the inexplicable attitude of the presiding judge, is suspected of seeking death, and is now directly interrogated by the Suzhou Government, and Kunshan County has ordered Zhu Qianshou...... Suspended pending investigation. ”

Zhu Qianshou didn't expect Shen Mo to take him down directly, and couldn't help but protest: "My lord doesn't seem to have this power!" ”

"I have," Shen Mo said lightly: "In the past, when I left Beijing, His Majesty gave me the right to appoint, dismiss, and promote the officials under my jurisdiction, and I only need to report to the ministry afterwards. He smiled and said, "Do you want to see the holy decree?" ”

Zhu Qianshou's heart sank when he heard this, and he said secretly: 'How did I forget this stubble? But after thinking about it, I had already reported this matter to the court, and I thought that in ten days and half a month, there would be a messenger coming, and when there was always a time for me to do justice, I would no longer refute it, and silently follow the iron pillar down, and close the small black house.

In the signing room, Gui Youguang and Shen Mo sat opposite each other.

"Obviously, he just wants to make a big deal out of the matter, so that the case can be tried in front of everyone, so that people can't interfere." Shen Mo said: "In his heart, this person is me and the Xu family." ”

"Not favoritism?" Gui Youguang asked.

"That's hard to say...... Shen Mo slowly muttered, "It may be a simple motive, or it may be an ulterior." He said softly: "I have already written a letter to Elder Xu Ge, explaining this matter to him in detail, and asking him what to do." ”

"Aren't you worried that Elder Xu Ge will think too much?" Gui Youguang whispered.

"It's too tricky to have the best of both worlds." Shen Mo shook his head and said: "Since I am a teacher and student, then I, as a student, have the obligation to report to the teacher the misdeeds of his family, so as not to catch fire in the backyard in the future and affect the elders." Then ask him to put on a high posture and hand over Shen Wu's minion to show his righteousness and kill his relatives. He said with a sneer: "As an aside, if Elder Ge doesn't pay attention again, it will be his son who will suffer next time." ”

"Xu Ge Lao Su comes from a heavy reputation," Gui Youguang said: "I should be vigilant and will not be partial." ”

"Hmm." Shen nodded silently and said, "I hope so, it's best to be safe." Saying that, he couldn't help frowning and said: "I can't say it, I have to go to Xu's house again, even if I don't have to come out, this gesture still has to be put on." ”

Seeing that the adults were wronged, Gui Youguang couldn't bear it, and said in a deep voice: "My lord, hand over the Wei family's case to your subordinates, I promise to do it clearly, and the evidence is ironclad!" ”

"Good ......" Shen Mo couldn't help but be greatly moved when he saw that he could still take the initiative to ask for help at this time, but after thinking about it, he refused again: "Don't get involved in this matter, it's better to leave it to Hai Rui." ”

"Why?" Gui Youguang asked.

Of course, I can't say it silently, because Hai Rui's official reputation is better than yours, and the case adjudicated is even more convincing to Qingliu, and you can also give yourself a good reputation for generosity.

"My lord, aren't you worried that Lord Hai will make a big problem?" Gui Youguang is not without worries.

"It's already old, so let him make trouble." Shen Mo waved his hand impatiently: "And we must put pressure on the Xu family, otherwise we really think that this official is a dog of his family!" This feeling of powerlessness annoyed him very much, and he really didn't know when he would be able to act without looking at other people's faces.

As Shen Mo expected, when he visited the Xu family again, he felt a strong hostility, Old Madam Xu sat high in the hall, and Xu Jie's two sons protected the Dharma left and right, looking at him with vigilant faces.

After half an hour, the silent patience seemed to be exhausted, and the clothes were straightened, and it seemed that they were ready to get up and say goodbye. When the three ancestors and grandchildren of the Xu family saw it, they secretly breathed a sigh of relief, and said in their hearts that this plague god could be regarded as gone.

Unexpectedly, Shen Mo seemed to suddenly remember something, and arched his hand to the old woman Xu again: "Oh, by the way, there is one more thing to ask for advice in the late life: it is said that there was a suspect Xu Wu in Kunshan County, Suzhou Prefecture, who was suspected of occupying fields and killing people, and someone saw that he had fled to Huating......"

"What does that have to do with us?" The third son, Xu Zhen, couldn't help but blurt out: "We don't know a person named Xu Wu." ”

"Listen to what the third prince means," asked in a deep voice: "This Xu Wu, who killed people, has nothing to do with our Xu family?" ”

"It doesn't matter!" Xu Zhen cut the railway.

"That's great!" Shen Mo laughed with relief: "With the words of the third prince, the lower officials will have a bottom in their hearts." I silently determined to live up to the teacher's discipline, enforce the law impartially, and judge impartially. There was a lot of disturbance today, so I took my leave. After saying that, he didn't wait to send it, and left freely.

After walking silently for a long time, the three ancestors and grandchildren of the Xu family have not eased up: the heart said that he is such a powerful guy, thousands of guards, ten guards, or he took the talk, if Xu Wu is caught, it will be a dead end.

"Tell that Xu Wu that you are not allowed to go out these days! I don't believe that Shen Mo can run to our Songjiang Mansion to arrest people! Mrs. Xu said with displeasure on her face: "You too, what crooked melons and cracked dates are also collected at home, are you causing trouble?" ”

The Xu brothers had no choice but to make promises.
