"What's the reason that General Qin didn't tell Zhang Tongshou?" Li Gang asked lightly.

"He thinks it's righteousness?"

Li Gang nodded, "That's right, Luo Shixin is fighting for righteousness, how can Zhang Xuan let Luo Shixin be held solely responsible, so he also has to admit his guilt, I guess his idea is to share half of the guilt for Luo Shixin, if it is the son who takes the blame for his father, it is okay, but in this case, I estimate that not only Yuwenshu will not do it, but King Yan will not agree." ”

After a pause, Li Gang said again: "Zhang Tongshou may not know, but Yuwenshu believes that Zhang Xuan did it, and he thinks that Luo Shixin wants to take the blame for Zhang Xuan." ”

"Why?"

Zhang Xutuo was stunned, although he didn't understand the unspoken rules of officialdom, and he didn't know much about human feelings, but he was not stupid, he was stunned for a while, but he still reacted.

"Could it be that General Yuwen is dissatisfied with King Yan?" Zhang Xutuo asked a little abruptly.

Li Gang nodded slowly, he didn't think that Zhang Xutuo's question was abrupt, it was so, he sneered and said: "Yuwen Zhi took the initiative to provoke King Yan's guards last night, and it was the same reason. ”

"What will happen then?"

"It's hard to say!"

Li Gang smiled bitterly and said: "As the supervisor who handles this case, I will report it truthfully and put forward my verdict opinions, as for whether the criminal department will pass it, I really don't know, all in all, this case will only become more and more complicated." ”

Zhang Xutuo finally had to leave in a huff, he finally figured out the situation of the apprentice Luo Shixin, Henan Yin Li Gang insisted on the principle and decided that the person was killed by his own apprentice, but Yu Wenshu insisted that Zhang Xuan was the real murderer, and Zhang Xutuo had nothing to do, so he had to resign himself to fate.

．．．．．．．

It was getting dark, a carriage drove quickly, and slowly stopped in front of the gate of Yu's house, and Yu Shiji's stepson Xiahou Yan, who was already waiting on the steps, hurriedly greeted him.

"See Yuwen Shibo!"

The car door opened, revealing Yu Wenshu's broad face, and he smiled and said, "Virtuous nephew, is your father still entertaining guests?" ”

"Father declined all the guests and waited for Shibo to arrive!"

"Thank you father for saving face!"

Several Yuwen slaves lifted their shoulders up, helped Yuwenshu to sit up, and Xiahou Yan led the way in front and led Yuwenshu to the house.

At the door of the middle hall, Yu Shiji was already waiting for Yuwen with a smile, Yu Shiji had his own hospitality, and asked him to go out of the door to greet him, unless the emperor and queen came, or the prince came to the door, he would not step out of the door.

High-ranking officials and dignitaries come to visit, it is the current rule, the son goes out of the gate for him to greet him, and he waits at the middle gate, which is already extremely face-saving.

If the level is a little lower, he will only sit in the guest hall or the outer study and wait, and he will not even see ordinary officials when they visit, and directly let his son receive him for him.

If some wealthy businessmen begged him to do something, he wouldn't even let him enter the door, and directly asked the housekeeper to accept the gift, unless the gift money was particularly generous, he would not hesitate to see it.

At this time, Xiahou Yan led Yuwen Shu to the door of the middle hall, a few lanterns appeared more than a dozen steps away, Yu Shiji smiled and stepped forward, "General Yuwen is not in good health, don't go out, let Zhiji say, I will visit in person." ”

"Maoshi is busy with official business, where is it embarrassing to let Maoshi come to the door in person, or I, an idler, should run away!"

Both of them are old fritters in officialdom, and their status is noble, so they are very particular about the rules when they talk and do things, Yuwenshu has asked his son to contact Xiahou Yan in advance, and told Yu Shiji the general situation through Xiahou Yan, Yu Shiji did not refuse, Yuwenshu will come to the door in person, so as to avoid the embarrassment of things not being negotiated.

Not only that, the subtle relationship between the two can be seen from the names of each other, Yu Shiji himself called Yuwen Shu General Yuwen, but asked his son to call him Shibo, which not only put on a businesslike attitude, but also hard and soft, indicating that there is room for negotiation.

And Yu Wenshu directly called Yu Shiji's words, this is a set of almost, begging him to do something, this is officialdom, every word and deed has a deep meaning.

Unlike Zhang Xutuo, who doesn't understand the rules of officialdom and doesn't understand people's feelings, he carries a pickle jar and gives it away, and the officials thought that there was something else in it, so they found out that it was really pickles, and hurriedly sent someone to send it back, saying that they were honest and self-respecting.

Zhang Xutuo's things can't be sent, and there is no hope for what he wants to do, so it's better not to give such a gift.

Yu Wenshu knew that as long as Yu Shiji was willing to see him, there would be room for negotiation in that matter, so the two subordinates helped him up and slowly followed Yu Shiji into the outer study.

There was a maid serving tea, all the subordinates withdrew, and there were only Yu Shiji and Yu Wenshu in the outer study, Yu Shiji took a sip of tea, and said with a faint smile: "I heard that Ling Lang had something wrong last night and had a conflict with King Yan's guards, right?" ”

"Hey! Tiger fell in Pingyang and was bullied by dogs, even the little guards dared to despise my son and beat my fake son to death, is there any reason in the world of the Great Sui? ”

"Isn't Li Gang claiming to be fair and honest? Can't he do justice to the general? Yu Shiji's tone was sarcastic, he had long been unaccustomed to Li Gang's incorruptibility, although he had a noble status and had to pay attention to proportionality in his speech, but his words still revealed his dissatisfaction with some people.

Yu Wenshu sighed again, "On one side is King Yan, and on the other side is the general who was dismissed, how can he be fair, it is obvious that King Yan's guards killed my fake son, but he wants to press the charge on a low-level officer, it's chilling!" ”

"So what can I do for the General?" Yu Shiji asked quietly.

"I hope that Brother Mao Shixian can uphold justice."

"I'm afraid it's a little hard! If Henan Yin is convicted, the criminal department will either agree or reject them for a retrial, and it will be difficult to overstep their responsibilities. ”

"It's not without precedent."

Yu Wenshu hurriedly said: "When the case of the cat demon in the palace was retried, wasn't it the Criminal Department that directly took the case from the Henan Mansion?" ”

"That's because the Criminal Department has an inspection system, and cases that have been concluded can be reviewed, but like this case is still being tried, I'm afraid it's not good for the Criminal Department to directly intervene, or the general will wait for a while?"

Yuwen said where to wait, if he waited, the daylily would be cold, he was scheming, he just wanted to use this matter to overturn the case for himself, if it dragged on any longer, not only would the case be overturned, but I was afraid that his fake son would die in vain.

Of course, Yu Wenshu knew that this was actually a trivial matter for Yu Shiji, and he only said it so hard to bargain.

Yu Wenshu knew what Yu Shiji needed, Yu Shiji was more greedy than himself, he raised the difficulty, obviously wanting the lion to open his mouth.

But for the sake of his own future, Yu Shiji really wanted to blackmail him, and he could only admit it.

Yu Wenshu insisted: "I think it should be possible!" ”

Yu Shiji smiled, but changed the topic, he pointed to the study and smiled: "What do you think of my study?" ”

Yu Wenshu looked at it and said with a smile: "It is more than elegant, but it is not rich enough, and the wall is a little cold." ”

"That's right, I'm planning to hang a few township party calligraphy and paintings, but although there are many calligraphy and paintings in the house, there is no one of the countrymen's calligraphy and paintings, which is a pity!"

Yu Shiji has already made a bid, and he said it very implicitly, like a riddle, but Yu Wenshu immediately solved his riddle, Yu Shiji himself is a famous calligrapher, and there are only two fellow calligraphers who can make him look at it, Wang Xizhi and Wang Xianzhi's father and son, it is estimated that Yu Shiji refers to Wang Xizhi.

Yu Wenshu secretly scolded in his heart, there is a real painting of Wang Xizhi's "Post After the Rain" in his house, which is his treasure, and what Yu Shiji wants should be this character.

Yuwen Shu smiled, "Maoshi is a calligrapher, wouldn't it be better to write one yourself?" ”

"Brother Berton laughed, how dare I make a fool of myself at this level?"

The two laughed a few words, Yu Wenshu got up and said goodbye, he didn't mention the case anymore, Yu Shiji didn't say more, both of them knew that the price had been opened, and in the end, it would be up to them to see if the deal could be reached.

．．．．．．．．．

At noon the next day, Zhang Xuan, who was sleeping in a groggy state, was awakened by a sound of opening the door, he opened his eyes, and saw Chai Shao walking in with Fang Zheng, Zhang Xuan immediately sat up, "Sichang, why are you here?" ”

Chai Shao squatted down and said, "King Yan is the guarantor, the virtuous brother can go out temporarily." ”

"What about Luo Shixin?" Jang Hyun asked.

Fang Zheng next to him shook his head and said: "This is my family's order from the king, Zhang Guards can guarantee to go out and wait for the summons at any time, but Luo Shixin can't, he can't leave Henan Yamen one step before the case is completed." ”

Chai Shao said a few words to Zhang Xuan in his ear, and Zhang Xuan nodded, "It's okay!" Then I'll go out first. ”

Zhang Xuan followed Chai Shao out of the gate of the official office, and there was already a carriage waiting outside for a long time, and when he got into the carriage, Zhang Xuan asked eagerly: "What's going on?" ”

"It should be Yuwenshu who has gone through Yu Shiji's relationship, this case is going to be tried by the Criminal Department, the situation is very bad, I got the latest news, the Criminal Department means accomplice, Luo Shixin is the main offender, you are an accomplice, Luo Shixin may be beheaded."

"Is Li Fujun willing to give it to the Criminal Department?"

"Of course Li Fujun refused, but I heard that the Criminal Department rejected all his confessions and evidence, and called the Yuwen Taibao to be re-interrogated, and everyone changed their confessions, and finally came to the conclusion that it was the guards of King Yan who drew their swords first, and it was you and Luo Shixin who besieged Wang Qingfang, killed Wang Qingfang, and now not only you and Luo Shixin are guilty, but all the guards of King Yan present must be removed from office and punished."

Zhang Xuan's knuckles pinched with a loud sound, he finally saw this kind of officialdom darkness that reversed black and white and pointed at the deer as a horse, his eyes flashed with monstrous anger, but he knew that he couldn't be carried away by anger at this time, he restrained his anger, and asked in a deep voice: "What does His Royal Highness King Yan mean?" ”

"His Royal Highness King Yan is also angry, I have never seen him lose his temper so much, and smashed his most beloved inkstone to smithereens, he said that if he didn't kill Yu Wenshu, he swore not to give up."

"And then?"

"Then I suggested that he bail you out first, and never let you fall into the hands of the Criminal Department, those people are ruthless, it's not what you can imagine."

Zhang Xuan nodded silently, "Thank you, Brother Chai!" ”

Chai Shao sighed softly, "It's all my own brothers, thank you!" The key is how to escape this catastrophe, I feel that King Yan is still a little younger, and he can't do anything in key places, so I plan to find another relationship to try it. ”

Zhang Xuan pondered for a long time, he and Chai Shao had different ideas, and this case could really only be settled by King Yan.
