. The heavy warehouse "creaked" open, and since the Huaihe Sixiong tried to rob the prison, the security here has been tightened a little, and even the visits of ordinary prisoners' families have been canceled. These pampered old men are difficult to swallow the crude prison meal, so they have no mental and physical strength, and when Yang Hao came in, they were still lying in the corner of the cell, too lazy to look up and interrogate again.

Yang Hao has stopped interrogating now, and the information he has is enough to convict them, he only needs to wait for the Qin messenger sent by the imperial court to be in charge of this case to hand over the case, and now he is here, just because the guards reported that Deng Xiu'er went to see Liu Xiangzhi and others, so he came to see the situation.

Yanyan and the doll went to the street, although the weather was boring, but Yang Hao still had a lot of case files to be handed over to sort out, with Yanyan's temperament, she couldn't do it if she wanted to sit by her side all the time. In fact, the doll may not like to sit with Yang Hao so dullly, watching Yang Hao do things, after all, even her age is not very old, it is the age of energy, easy to talk and active, a young girl, how can she have such a qualitative character, but Tang Yanyan dares to beat her likes and dislikes to show it, if it is not Tang Yanyan proposes, then she will definitely sit quietly by the side.

Yang Hao likes Yanyan's character very much, he doesn't want his woman to become an echo worm who only looks at his face as soon as he marries, without any personality, seeing the two girls sitting drowsy on the side, he was about to send them to Sizhou City for a boat tour, Tang Yanyan said it, and agreed to come down.

The people they brought to the south this time have now moved to the Guancang Yamen, they want to go out, Xing'er, Lao Hei, and Zhang Niu'er are all to be accompanied, Yang Hao also sent the bisu who squatted at the yamen and yawned idly, with this thief ancestor accompanied, what squeezed the immortals, fished in troubled waters, they didn't want to get close to their bodies.

"She came up with a way to deal with the family and the King of Jin? What can she do, and with her cheerful temperament, she is so shy that she doesn't want to say it in front of Wu Wa'er? ”

Yang Hao was walking, thinking about Tang Yanyan's words that he wanted to vomit and hide it, and vaguely guessed a little bit of her idea, and his lips couldn't help but show a playful smile. Indeed, under the eaves of people, how can you not bow your head, in the end, there is a relatively gentle way to solve this problem, and the idea of Yanyan seems to be really a good idea to get through the test at present.

The Tang family is bent on climbing the towering tree of King Jin, and it will not solve the problem to negotiate with the Tang family, so if you come hard, not only will there be a huge difference in the strength of each other, but also you will be too passive in the position of being in a position where you are not in agreement with reason and law.

But if he and Yan Yan have already become husband and wife, it will be different, although there will be some spittle and stars splashing over, but Kaifeng City is not a small village after all, and the gossip of others can be ignored, and in that case, the Tang family feels embarrassed, and they dare not force Yan Yan to marry the King of Jin, and Zhao Guangyi, the King of Jin, will not depreciate his identity and accept such a woman as a side concubine.

"Yanyan......, this Nizi, dare to love and hate, dare to do and dare to be, her idea must be to preemptively achieve the fact of husband and wife, and force the family to admit my relationship with her, hehe......"

Thinking of Yan Yan's graceful and charming second face, Yang Hao was overwhelmed for a while, and the smile on his face became even stronger: "When will she say it to me?" Well, I'm going to have to find a time to talk to this girl. It's not possible yet, wait for the matter of Sizhou to be over, and the case will be handed over tomorrow, and when I continue to go south, I will find a reason to leave the official ship and go to the doll boat.

Sizhou matter is solved, the entire Jianghuai Road officials and gentry have a deterrent effect, Sizhou kicked away, it will be easy to show their skills in the future, presumably everywhere to buy grain, transport grain will no longer cause any waves out of thin air, there is not much to do at that time, this trip to Jianghuai, even if it is my honeymoon trip with Yanyan and Wa'er. Hehe, I'm looking forward to it......"

Walking in the dim light, colorful lights and shadows slanted down from a high place, flashing past Yang Hao's body from time to time, so some mysterious smiles on his lips looked treacherous in the light and dark, and the jailer who led the way felt a little eerie in his eyes, and he was a little creepy.

"Although the baby is enchanting, after all, it is limited to the congenital physique, and it is difficult for one person to be happy, and now there is a flame again, and I have been practicing hard for many days of double cultivation** finally came in handy, haha......" Thinking about the charming fragrance of Shuangfei, Yang Hao's eyebrows danced, and suddenly laughed, and the jailer was clever and shivered, and said in his heart: "Why did the envoy laugh so insidiously...... Who's going to be harmed again......"

Bypassing a row of warehouses, the light was even darker, the granary was empty, the air was dull, filled with the smell of some grain leftovers, and suddenly there was a faint sound of conversation in front of him, Yang Hao couldn't help but slow down, the jailer hurried up and whispered: "Master Envoy, Miss Deng is talking to Liu Xiangzhi and others, she has the note of the Envoy, so the small one retreated ......left and right."

"Hmm!" Yang Hao nodded and said, "You did a good job, step down, don't disturb her." ”

"Yes, yes, yes!" The jailer agreed and tiptoed back, Yang Hao paused for a moment and walked forward.

"Xiu'er, you say...... If you fill up all the money in the treasury, will you be able to avoid your father's guilt? ”

"Second uncle, Sizhou is so erosive that my father is to blame, but if the treasury silver can be made up, the responsibility for embezzling the silver can be removed, although it cannot be completely exempted, but it can greatly reduce the punishment of the father, if the crime of dereliction of duty in ordinary times may only be exiled, but now Kaifeng is cut off from food, the situation is serious, and the official family is furious, because this crime may not be able to ...... the father's head is cut off."

Liu Gaozhi couldn't wait to say: "Xiu'er, your second uncle is asking you, if you fill in the treasury silver, will your father be reinstated, or will he be demoted to be an official like a magistrate of the county?" ”

"Haha......" A strange laugh suddenly came out of the air, it sounded like a night owl, it was really a little infiltrating, Liu Zhong said angrily: "Uncle Zhou Wang, what are you laughing at?" ”

Uncle Zhou Wang sneered and said, "Naive fool! ”

Deng Xiu'er hesitated for a moment and said with a wry smile: "Second uncle, Wang Fa Zhaozhang, this case is already known to the world, who can protect Daddy?" If all the treasury money is filled, saving my father's life and being a flat-headed common man is the greatest tolerance, this official ...... I'm afraid I can't do it. ”

Liu Xiangyi's face suddenly darkened when he heard this, and he muttered: "Isn't that a bamboo basket empty?" ”

Deng Xiu'er sighed faintly: "That's already a blessing to invite the sky, how dare Xiu'er expect anything else?" My mother has been to my uncle and uncle's house in the past two days, because my concubine and aunt don't know the details, and I don't know the detailed amount, and I can't repay the treasury silver...... The imperial envoys in charge of this case arrived in an instant, and if they arrived, it would be too late. ”

"Replenishing the treasury silver can't keep his official position...... Liu Gaozhi's face also became ugly: "That is to say, ......, we are completely finished with this ......, so ...... What are the benefits of repaying the treasury silver? ”

Deng Xiu'er's heart sank, and she said in a panic: "Third uncle, what are you talking about, second uncle, ...... you?"

Liu Shuchen said in despair: "Our Liu family is over like this? What will the court do to us? Do we deserve death for those things we do? ”

Uncle Zhou Wangyin and Yang said weirdly: "The official word has two mouths, should it be a sentence in the court?" If it were an ordinary time, maybe the crime would not lead to death, but the court was so nervous about this matter, and even the eldest son of the emperor was sent out by the prince, I am afraid that the shortage of food is very urgent, even if it is to kill chickens and monkeys, who will pity you and me? Hey, hey, hey......"

"Surnamed Zhou, shut your dog's mouth!" Liu Zhong roared: "If you hadn't pulled us into the water at the beginning, why would our Liu family be where we are today?" It's you, it's all you, it's you who hurt our Liu family, even if I am a ghost, Liu Zhong will not let you go. ”

Uncle Zhou Wangyin smiled: "Blame me? Once upon a time, you were still grateful to me, why are you enlightened now? Hmph, didn't I enlighten you, your Liu family's gang of mud legs will be as rich as today? What kind of thing are you, Liu Zhong, who will enjoy endless brocade clothes and jade food, and will accept twelve beautiful concubines in one go? Brother Liu, you have enjoyed the glory and wealth that others will never enjoy in their lifetime, are you still not satisfied?"

"Shut your stinky mouth, you old dog, I don't want to die, who the fuck wants to die......"

Deng Xiu'er said in a mournful voice: "Uncle, uncle, cousin, Xiu'er also wants to save you, but the evidence is conclusive, and my father is difficult to protect himself, Xiu'er is a weak woman, she is really powerless, and now she ...... Only Daddy still has a chance to live, you ......"

Liu Xiangzhi suddenly laughed strangely and said: "Our evidence of guilt is conclusive, isn't your father conclusive?" ”

Deng Xiu'er was stunned and said, "Second uncle, you ...... What do you mean by that? ”

Liu Xiangzhi turned around suddenly, stunned with handcuffs and shackles, he hurriedly took two steps, raised his head, and said in a hard voice: "Xiu'er, what Uncle Zhou Wang said is right, our Liu family was originally a bunch of mud legs, and in the past few years, we have enjoyed all the blessings that we can't enjoy in a lifetime, and we should be content." ”

Deng Xiu'er's hands and feet were cold, still holding the last ray of hope, and said in a trembling voice: "Second uncle, you ...... You mean? ”

Liu Xiangzhi said leisurely: "If I hadn't sold my own farming cattle to your father, he would be at most a private school gentleman now, how could he achieve the prestige of a state prefect?" Yes, we borrowed his power and touched his light, but the second uncle asked himself if he didn't owe him. Now that the second uncle is finished, the third uncle is finished, your uncle is also finished, and the entire Liu family is over, and the stupid scholar of your father, even if he saves his life, can he help such a large family? No, he doesn't have that ability.

We are finished, but in the past few years, we have earned a family business that can be enjoyed by our children and grandchildren, and we are content. Our Great Song Kingdom has not yet had a person commit a crime to wipe out the nine clans, this time Yang Hao's dirty people were obtained, the court must be severely punished, if your second uncle fills the gap for your father, what else is left in the second uncle's family? ”

Deng Xiu'er rushed over in a panic, grabbed the railing, and shouted: "Second uncle, how can you talk like that, that is originally official silver and ill-gotten gains?" ”

Liu Xiangzhi sneered: "From the treasury silver? What are the credentials? ”

Deng Xiu'er was stunned, she grabbed the railing tightly with both hands, and her tearful eyes gradually erupted with fire: "Second uncle, you ...... In order to keep the family wealth, do you want to put my father to death? Second uncle! ”

Her voice was sharp, like a ghost seeking souls, spreading in the empty official warehouse, Liu Xiangzhi's back swayed in the scream, and he muttered: "Without credentials, the court can't confiscate my family property, and if I die, at least I can leave a rich family property for my family to live by."

Xiu'er, the second uncle also wants to have a beautiful funeral, and also wants to have an incense on the next year's sacrifice day, if I die, I can't leave anything, my wife and daughter have no livelihood and can only be reduced to a prostitute, my concubine's newborn child can only remarry with his mother, and even the surname will follow others, and I won't be blind when I die. People don't do it for themselves, the heavens and the earth will be destroyed, don't blame the second uncle, the second uncle is also a last resort, a last resort......"

"Second uncle, third uncle, uncle, you ...... You ......" Deng Xiu'er looked at her one by one with teary eyes, and her eyes quietly moved away when she touched her, not looking at her, her face was indifferent, as if she had nothing to do with her, Deng Xiu'er only felt that she couldn't even breathe, and she was so depressed that she was almost suffocated.

"In this world, there is no impermeable wall, no beam that cannot be hanged. You don't have to leave things to chance, for there will be a time when good and evil will be rewarded, and if you lose all your conscience, you will be rewarded with evil. Yang Hao said, turning out of the corner.

Each warehouse was sealed with a fence, and there was a person locked up in each warehouse, Deng Xiuer threw herself in Liu Xiangzhi's prison room, and withered to the ground against the fence, Yang Hao also felt miserable in his heart. But he has no way at all now, Deng Zuyang's encounter is indeed self-inflicted, if he can remedy it, maybe he can also show mercy outside the law, but in this situation, who can fill the hole in the sky for him?

Zhou Wangshu was imprisoned in the cell opposite Liu Xiangzhi, although he was imprisoned, he was still neatly dressed, his hair was meticulous, and the unkempt and unkempt face on the other side was compared to Liu Xiangzhi and others, who were already completely like a prisoner, and he was as majestic as a big man sitting in the hall asking questions.

Seeing Yang Hao appear, Uncle Zhou Wang smiled: "Envoy Yang, the old man has underestimated you, others have nothing to do with the old man, but you have a chaotic fist without any rules, and even my old master has been planted in your hands, hehe, admire, admire!" You say that good and evil sometimes come to fruition? I think...... I have to fool those wastes who don't have the ability to be happy and revenge. ”

Yang Hao turned to him and said coldly: "Uncle Zhou Wang, your crime is extremely evil, and you will definitely die if you are guilty." The ancients often said that people are about to die, and their words are also good, are you still obsessed? ”

Uncle Zhou Wangshu smiled calmly: "What kind of thing to do has to have what kind of responsibility, since I have done such a thing, I have such preparations, although my Uncle Zhou Wangshu is a powerless literati, but you don't want to underestimate my courage." Yes, my Uncle Zhou Wang is going to die, but my Zhou family can't collapse, our Zhou family ...... Hehehe...... for hundreds of years, I have been guarding against the change of dynasties and the chaos of war, which will wipe out my Zhou family in one fell swoop, and there are all kinds of perfect strategies. What does it matter if Uncle Zhou Wang falls, my Zhou family can't fall, it's still a big family that can be counted on Jianghuai Road, Yang Yuan, are you very disappointed? ”

Yang Hao said solemnly: "You are wrong, I am not disappointed, on the contrary, I am very happy, I am very happy to have such a court, there is such a law, although according to what you do, I also can't wait to come out with a few cool officials like Junchen, Wan Guojun, and Ji Xu, so that you can taste the taste of a broken family, life is worse than death, but do not link, do not raid the house, this is an enlightened move, I respect and obey."

If the imperial court has the idea that it would rather kill 3,000 by mistake than let go of one, even if it was originally used to punish the great evil, sooner or later it will become a tool for persecuting the good people. At that time, countless orders to destroy the door and break the county order, the victims were helpless and helpless good people. As for you, you don't have to be complacent, if your Zhou family will do your part in the future, then you are you, the Zhou family is the Zhou family, the court needs such good people, and the place needs such gentry, but if your Zhou family is still like you, in order to accumulate wealth, they will end up with you today. ”

Uncle Zhou Wang's eyes squinted at him, but he just sneered and didn't say anything. Yang Hao looked at this person as unreasonable, and no longer lectured with him, he looked at Deng Xiu'er who was still sitting on the ground stupidly, and sighed: "Miss Deng, forget it, the catastrophe is coming, everyone is planning for themselves, and no one will help you." ”

Liu Zhong sneered: "Yang Hao, you don't have to pretend to be a good person, isn't all this caused by you?" If it weren't for you, my uncle would still be the prefect of Sizhou now, how could our Liu family create this catastrophe? ”

Yang Hao was silent for a long time, and sighed: "Liu Zhong ......"

"How?"

"You are incorrigible, living is really a waste of food, you deserve to die!"

Back in the sun, Yang Hao and Deng Xiu'er's eyes narrowed at the same time.

Standing in the bright sunshine, Yang Hao had the feeling that he had just returned to the world from the ugly and dirty hell, and the heat was not so annoying. Slightly accustomed to the dazzling sunlight, he turned to look at Deng Xiu'er on the side, Deng Xiu'er's face was pale, her big eyes had completely lost her brilliance, and she stood there stupidly, like a lifeless porcelain doll.

Yang Hao couldn't bear to look at it more, turned his face and said: "Miss Deng, tomorrow, the imperial envoy sent by the imperial court to investigate this case will go to Sizhou, and the official handover is clear, and you will continue to go south, you are a filial daughter, but there are some things that you can't control, you have already done what you should do, and you will have to pay the price if you do it wrong, don't continue to run around, after all, the prefect of Deng is blinded, I think the imperial court will deal with it as appropriate, and there may not be a risk of death." ”

Deng Xiu'er turned around slowly and asked stupidly, "Do you want to?" What if you guess wrong? That's my father's life......"

Yang Hao sighed: "Your relatives have blackened their hearts with copper money, and they don't want to save his life at all, but what?" ”

Deng Xiu'er muttered: "If there is a way, there will be a way." ”

Her eyes lit up, and she suddenly grabbed Yang Hao's sleeve, and said happily: "Envoy Yang, I thought of it, I thought of it." ”

Yang Hao said movingly: "What did you think of?" ”

Deng Xiu'er said incoherently excitedly: "They trapped my father for injustice, and now they are ignoring it, I know that the money is their greed, but there is no evidence, the reason is that there are no accounts to check, and there is no basis for pursuing them." But...... However, it is not impossible to deal with them, as long as the adults are willing to help, we can control chaos with chaos and treat others in their own way. ”

Yang Haoqi said: "How to control chaos with chaos and govern others in the way of others?" ”

Deng Xiu'er said excitedly: "Like the grain gentry of the Zhou family for more than ten generations, the family has its own rules, and the accounts are strict, so you can't do anything." But these relatives of my Liu family are different, they haven't read much books originally, and they are clever in business, forced to buy and sell, and they don't have a proper business at all, where do they need detailed and accurate accounts?

Moreover, they are accustomed to private affairs, and have not hired a real bookkeeper, and their accounts are all in disarray and cannot be verified, and if the adults are willing to help, they can only temporarily confiscate and control them on the grounds that they are worried that their families will privately transfer their hidden property, then ...... If the property is less, they don't have an account to prove it, do they? ”

Yang Hao looked at her steadily, didn't speak for a long time, and Deng Xiu'er said hopefully: "Envoy Yang, what do you think is wrong?" ”

Yang Hao said slowly: "There is only one thing that is inappropriate. ”

Deng Xiu'er hurriedly said: "You say, let's discuss it again." ”

Yang Hao took a long breath and said slowly: "If you use your method to cure lawbreakers, you will first trap yourself in lawlessness, and I will ...... Why do I want to help you so much? ”

Deng Xiu'er's heart seemed to be pricked by a needle, her face suddenly turned red like snow, and she muttered after a while: "Yang Yuan's envoy, the slave family knows...... I know that this is a bit embarrassing adults, but ...... But my dad ...... He's really wronged. ”

"Strictly speaking, he is not wronged, he has been deceived by his family to such a point, and he has done all the evil things in Sizhou, he can be regarded as confused. But after all, he himself is an honest and self-disciplined official, so if possible, I hope to pull him along, and because of this, I am allowed to let you go to see them, which is already a violation of the rules. Miss Deng, whether your idea is useful or not, it has trapped me in injustice, and once it happens, do you know what it means to me? ”

Deng Xiu'er's face became more and more red, and Yang Hao sighed and said: "Speaking of which, although you, the daughter of the prefect, have studied qin, chess, calligraphy and painting with Lingzun since childhood, but after all, you have not been in contact with any people and worlds, and it is not surprising that you have some whimsical ideas, I don't blame you."

But if you want me to do this, it is impossible, now that these relatives of your Liu family have made up their minds to stand by, Ling Zun will not be able to get rid of the crime, Miss Deng should not waste her efforts, you go back to the house, what I said must count, on the table, the official will tell the ins and outs carefully, maybe the official family will open the net. ”

Yang Hao turned around and left, Deng Xiu'er looked at his back, and suddenly shouted: "Yang Yuan envoy!" ”

Yang Hao stopped, and said without looking back: "Is there anything else wrong with the girl?" ”

Deng Xiu'er said loudly: "If the innocent imprisoned person is your brother and your relative, will you say it so high-soundingly, if this method can save his life, will you save him?" ”

Yang Hao frowned and said, "Miss Deng, don't you feel abrupt? ”

"Envoy Yang, why don't you dare to answer me, I only ask you, if that person is your brother and your relative, and only this method can save his life, will you save him?"

Yang Hao was annoyed, turned around and said, "Yes!" Yang Hao is an ordinary man, not a saint of the Grand Duke! However, why should I take such a risk for the prefect Deng who should have taken this responsibility? Miss Deng, you are worried about Lingzun's safety, this official can understand, I sympathize with Lingzun, but I will not help him unprincipledly. I have a lot of respect for Miss Deng, please don't say something unreasonable, hurt each other's harmony! ”

Yang Hao was furious, and he spoke with a little anger, so he brushed his sleeves away after saying this. Deng Xiu'er was like a frightened bird at this time, her mind was strangely sensitive, and the words of others were a little heavier and a little vague, she couldn't help but have a lot of associations, not to mention that Yang Hao's words were also angry.

Seeing him go away, Deng Xiu'er burst into tears, and a terrible thought suddenly surged in her heart: "Didn't he know that King Chitose of Wei intended to save my father, and he originally wrote a note and opened the jailer, and took good care of me." How can you change your attitude now...... Could it be that Cheng Yu, Cheng Dexuan, and what he said really changed his mind, he was the person of King Jin after all, in order to suppress Zhao Xianggong, he ...... Are they going to make my dad have no place to turn over? ”

"What now? What now? Deng Xiu'er's eyes were red and swollen, her bowels were full of sorrow, she thought about it, and suddenly bit the root of her teeth: "The only hope is King Wei, no matter what, I have to see him!" Only he can save my father's life. ”

※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※ "Lord Deng, ...... tomorrow The Imperial Envoy is coming. ”

Murong Qiu sat at the table and said. Deng Zuyang sat cross-legged on the couch, his eyes slightly closed, and he didn't say a word.

Murong Qiu sighed and said, "Zhao Xianggong is very fond of you, and he also admires your character and ability, and he once recommended you repeatedly in front of the official family. You should have heard that the official family is very hot-tempered, when Zhao Xianggong recommended you, the official family was not very eye-catching, and threw back the Xianggong's recommendation letter, but Xianggong was not discouraged, and still sent your recommendation letter the next day, alas! The official family was furious and tore the recommendation to shreds, but on the third day, the Xianggong glued the torn recommendation book piece by piece, and still sent it to the front of the official Longshu case. ”

Deng Zuyang was moved, and unconsciously opened his eyes. He had also heard of this incident between the official family and Xiangye, but he never expected that he was the protagonist of the recommendation, Mr. Murong was a staff member of Zhao Xianggong's side, and he should know the details, and if he said so, it should not be bad.

Deng Zuyang said movingly: "Xiangye, he ...... Why does he value his students so much? Alas! Deng is ashamed of Xiangye. ”

Fang Zhengnan said: "I can't say that, Lord Deng has a noble character, he has been an official in Sizhou for nearly three years, his official voice is loud, his political achievements are outstanding, his eyes are clear, and he is also very admired." This time, Lord Deng was unjustly imprisoned for being implicated by his family, and Mr. Lao Yu and Mr. Murong were very worried, and tried to exonerate the adult, but unfortunately, he was really ashamed. ”

Deng Zuyang gratefully arched his hand and said: "The two gentlemen must not say that, Deng Mou is confused, he made such a big mistake, he is ashamed of the reuse of the official family, the promotion of the prime minister, and the people of Sizhou, the two gentlemen praise him so much, Deng Mou is really ashamed of himself." ”

Murong Qiu squinted his eyes to observe his expression, then slapped his leg and said angrily: "Hateful!" It's really hateful! Lord Deng, I won't tell you that your guilt is just a dereliction of duty, it is not a big crime, plus you have always been clean and self-conscious in Sizhou, this time it is your family who is evil, but it is not what you have to do, the two of us thought that it would be easy to save you from difficulties, who knows...... Huan Hai's career is sinister and sinister! ”

Deng Zuyang was stunned for a moment, and hurriedly asked, "Why did Mr. Murong say this?" ”

Murong Qiu seemed to be speechless, and hurriedly shook his head and smiled: "Oh, it's nothing, it's nothing, the old man just saw that the adult was detained and could not be released so far, and he was indignant in his heart, so he said this indignant, Lord Deng should not be too careful." ”

Saying this, Deng Zuyang was even more suspicious, jumped down to stop him and said, "Mr. Murong don't blame me, please tell me the truth, isn't it...... What's going on? ”

"This ...... This ......" Murong Qiu was drunk with a look of embarrassment, and Fang Zhengnan couldn't help but say: "I told Lord Deng what about it, anyway, tomorrow the imperial envoy will arrive, and it won't be long before Lord Deng will know everything." ”

"Exactly, exactly." Deng Zuyang is an honest and loyal scholar, and when he heard this, he nodded again and again: "What Mr. Fang said is that if the two gentlemen know any inside story, and it does not involve the need to hide something from the criminal official, they will not hesitate to tell each other." ”

Murong Qiu twisted his beard and groaned for a long time, struck his fist, and said, "That's it, then the old man will tell you." He raised his head, looked directly at Deng Zuyang and said: "Lord Deng, this time is different from the past, this time the shortage of grain and grass in Kaifeng is serious, it is really unprecedented, the official family is very angry, and attaches great importance to this matter. ”

Deng Zu raised his head and said: "Although the imperial court did not say it explicitly, but looking at the unprecedented battle of the imperial court, the lower officials can guess a few points. ”

Murong Qiu drunkenly said: "That's it, because of this, if Lord Deng's case is placed in ordinary times, there is a ** to belittle and exile, if there is a good minister, maybe it can be turned into a big thing, a small matter, and a relocation to an official." But this experience is different, because of the lack of grain in Kaifeng, the fire is imminent, all related matters, only to deal with it seriously, Sizhou Mansion under the rule of Lord Deng, Lord Deng was deceived by his relatives, and actually made Sizhou a place official, grain gentry colluded with the court to oppose it, causing the King of Wei to spend a long time here, whether it is to correct the law of the country, or to warn the officials and gentry of the world, this case will definitely be dealt with strictly. Lord Deng's life ......"

He couldn't bear to say any more, and turned his head slightly in silence.

Deng Zuyang was silent for a long time, then suddenly smiled and said: "The lower official is locked in the cabin every day, thinking about it and thinking about all kinds of possibilities. The crime of killing the head was also thought about by the lower officials, but he didn't expect that there would really be such a serious punishment. That's it, Deng will not complain, I don't know how many people in Sizhou have been ruined by my relatives, and my parents are to blame; The imperial court reused Deng, and Deng ate the court, but he never did the next thing that was beneficial to the court, the society, and the people. If you use Deng's head and be vigilant against the officials of the world, you can deter those greedy and lawless grain gentry, so that they can cooperate with the court and properly solve the matter of Kaifeng's grain cut......"

Deng Zuyang smiled bitterly and said, "Then it's ...... Since Deng became the prefect of Sizhou, he has done the only beneficial thing for the imperial court. ”

"Lord Deng......" Murong Qiu was moved to hear it, and as soon as he grasped his hand, after a while, there were tears in his eyes, and he choked up: "Lord Deng, it's not that the old man refuses to save you, it's not that I can't hide it, as soon as Lord Deng had an accident, the old man and Mr. Fang repaired the book overnight and sent someone to Beijing quickly, to know the Xiangye, and ask the Xiangye for help." But who knows......"

He shook his head, and said squarely south, "But who knows...... Who knew that Cheng Yu Yang Hao and their Nanya lackeys had also reported the matter to the Beijing Division, and the King of Jin got the news like a treasure, and wanted to use this matter to accuse Xiang Ye of recommending people by mistake and not knowing people, he took advantage of the Kaifeng grain crisis to rely on his own respect, and took the opportunity to challenge Xiang Ye, Xiang Ye in order to maintain Lord Deng, now he is in a dangerous situation, and he is attacked by the Jin King and his party. ”

Deng Zuyang was moved and frightened when he heard this, and hurriedly asked, "How is Xiangye now?" The lower official is mediocre, and he can't imagine that he will be affected by Xiangye, alas! Xia Guan knew that Nanya and Xiangfu were not in harmony, and now Nanyafu Yin has been promoted to the king again, and his power is even more powerful than in the past, I am afraid ...... I'm afraid it's not a good match. ”

"Yes," Murong Qiu said drunkly: "Now Cheng Yu and others are searching for criminal evidence everywhere, hoping to implicate Xiangye in this matter, they are constantly expanding the scope of investigation under the guise of investigating the case of Lord Deng, and collecting so-called evidence everywhere, we are watching, but there is nothing to be done." ”

Deng Zuyang said angrily: "This is Deng's guilt, what does it have to do with Xiangye?" How can they be involved in Xiangye's head? ”

Fang Zhengnan sneered: "Lord Deng forgot what their origin is? They have been in Nanya for many years as a criminal prison to raise some criminal law and detention department, and their sword and pen skills can reverse black and white, pointing to the deer as a horse, and this case will not be closed for a day, and it is not easy for them to concoct some criminal evidence? There is no need to be directly implicated with Xiang Ye, just a hint, Xiang Ye's situation is even worse, not to mention, they can also induce confessions to others, in short, they do everything. ”

Deng Zuyang's thin face turned red, he walked around the room twice, suddenly stopped, turned to face Murong Qiu and the two of them, and showed a serene smile on his face: "The two gentlemen don't have to worry too much, Xiangye has been in politics for many years, and he has always been trusted by the official family, so he will not be easily brought down." As for this Sizhou case, it will be concluded soon, and someone will bear all the responsibility, and they have no reason to investigate it further. ”

Murong Qiu stood up in surprise and asked, "What is the basis for Lord Deng's words?" ”

Deng Zuyang smiled but did not answer, turned his head to Gu, and said in a deep voice: "After the two gentlemen return to Beijing, please say a word to Enxiang on behalf of Deng, and ...... The students are very grateful for the grace of the promotion, the students are stupid and confused, and they have failed to live up to the grace of the cultivation of the grace, and there is no retribution in this life, and the grass is tied in the next life! ”
