309 Best Friends
Wang Xijue's question scared Su Hao out of a cold sweat. The matter of rescuing Li Zhen is a major secret of the survey camp, and no one else knows about it except for the dozens of people who participated in the operation. Li Zhen assumed the alias Lin Zhi in the public opinion camp, and his appearance has also changed, so that people who were familiar with him in the past cannot recognize him. Su Hao thought that he had been able to hide this matter, but he didn't expect that Wang Xijue would go directly to his door to inquire about Li Zhen's whereabouts, and he didn't know how he got this information.
"Elder Wangge, you say...... What Li Hongfu? Su Hao asked with a stammer.
Wang Xijue smiled and said, "You dare to say that Li Zhen is not hiding in your army?" ”
Su Hao couldn't figure out whether Wang Xijue had conclusive evidence or was deceiving himself, so he asked noncommittally: "Wang Ge Lao said this, Su Hao really didn't understand, and asked Wang Ge Lao to make it clear." ”
Wang Xijue said: "Su Gaizhi, you think you are acting carefully, but don't you know that there are many flaws?" Jinyi Wei Luo Zhun led people to Henan to arrest Li Zhen, but what he brought back was a dead man. Others may not see anything wrong, I have been close friends with Li Hongfu for many years, and you can still be deceived by you casually getting an old man from the countryside? ”
Su Hao smiled awkwardly: "Elder Wang, even if it is not Li Zhen that Luo Zhun brought back, why does Elder Ge say that this matter is related to the kid?" ”
Wang Xijue said: "I have calculated the time, at that time, it happened to be when your department passed by Liudian Town, if anyone dares to dare to secretly change the Qin, then this person must be your Su Gai." However, you are also thoughtful, and you were able to make Luo Zhun suffer a dumb loss, and he didn't dare to say a word when he returned to the capital. If it weren't for the report you sent to the capital, I really wouldn't dare to assert that Li Zhen was in your army. ”
"So, that report is exposed?" Su Hao asked. Earlier, Wang Xijue said that he and Li Zhen were close friends, which made Su Hao's heart relax a little. What he wants to know now. is what Wang Xijue guessed that Li Zhen was here with Su Hao.
Wang Xijue said: "Your report is concise and meticulous, which is definitely not something that you can write like a two-hundred-and-five-year-old show." I've also seen your Zhou Juren, and although he has some talent, it's not enough to complete such a masterpiece. Also, there are a few places in the text that seem to be Hongfu's tone, and this kind of thing can't be concealed if you want to.
In other words, I didn't come to Xingshi to ask about the sin, but I was just worried about my old friend's body. Come and have a visit. If I want to be unfavorable to you on this matter, I can uncover this matter when Luo Zhun just returned to the capital, so why hide it for you for so long? ”
"I see, that kid thanked Wang Ge Lao." Su Hao couldn't pretend to be stupid anymore. He slapped his face, called in a personal soldier, and ordered: "You go to the back house and invite Mr. Lin to come over, saying that there is an old friend visiting." ”
It didn't take much effort, Li Zhen walked in with a smile and saw Wang Xijue. Then he clasped his fists and saluted: "Brother Fu Yu has always been good, Zhuo Wu is polite." ”
"Are you...... Brother Hongfu? Oops, you're going to kill me. Wang Xijue stepped forward and took Li Zhen's hand. After carefully studying his face, he said for a long time: "That's fine, even I don't dare to recognize you, and ordinary people can't recognize it." ”
Li Zhen pulled Wang Xijue to sit down on the chair. Then he sighed: "The old man has already died once, what does he look like." And why bother? Brother Fu Yu, I heard that you came to ask about the case this time, I guessed that you would come to Gaizhi to find me, this matter can be hidden from others, but it can't be hidden from you Brother Fu Yu. ”
Wang Xijue waved his hand and said, "In my guess, I am not the only one who believes that Brother Hongfu is still alive. Everyone's thoughts are the same, that is, Jinyiwei is perverse, and you, Li Hongfu, are the great Confucian, how can you be humiliated by the hands of eagles and dogs. Although everyone didn't know how you got out of trouble, everyone was secretly glad to see that what Jinyiwei brought back was not your corpse. ”
"In a hurry, it is not easy for my subordinates to find an old man from the countryside who has just passed away to come to Li Dai Taozhuang. Where are you going to go and find someone who looks exactly like Mr. Lee? Su Hao complained on the side, since Li Zhen had already appeared, there was no need for him to hide what had happened.
Wang Xijue and Li Zhen looked at each other and smiled, Wang Xijue said: "Hongfu, do you think that this person can be changed?" ”
Li Zhen nodded and said: "Talented, eclectic, the most rare thing is to be upright, rich and noble, and he is indeed the leader of the younger generation." ”
"Mr. Li has an overreputation, isn't it all Mr. Li who is behind the scenes in handling the case? You see, Elder Wang Ge didn't believe that the kid could do this so thoroughly, so he came to me to ask for Mr. Li. Su Hao said half-jokingly and half-seriously.
"Mr. Zhuo Wu has always acted on the wrong side, and in this Ming officialdom, only you Su Gaizhi dare to use his strategy, and based on this alone, you can be regarded as a person with courage and insight." Wang Xijue bowed slightly to Su Hao, expressing his affirmation of him.
Everyone complimented each other a few words, and Wang Xijue and Li Zhen talked about their separation again, which brought the topic back to the case of Runing in front of them. Wang Xijue turned his head to Su Hao and asked, "Change, Ru Ning's case, what step do you want to go to be considered agreeable?" ”
It stands to reason that Wang Xijue and Wang Jiaping are here, and Su Hao's mission is completed. How to handle the case and how far it will go is decided by the two elders, and there is no need to ask Su Hao's opinion at all. However, Wang Xijue came with the mentality of cultivating talents, and Su Hao had always been handling the previous things, so he had the right to speak on this matter, so he asked such a question.
Su Hao said: "The sky net is magnificent, negligent but not leaky, and the lower officials hope that all the evildoers can be brought to justice and the people will be given justice." ”
Wang Xijue was noncommittal to Su Hao's opinion, but asked Li Zhen again: "Brother Hongfu, what do you think?" ”
Li Zhen said: "The old man has also persuaded him to change it, and he has to be forgiving and forgiving." After all, Liu Qichang is also a prefect, and the connections behind him are very strong, if he is offended ruthlessly, I am afraid that there will be more difficulties in his career in the future. However, if Liu Qichang is not rectified to the point of catastrophe this time, maybe there will be more trouble in the future. The old man is also in favor of this, so now the old man doesn't know what to do. ”
Wang Xijue nodded and said: "Your worries are reasonable, this time you have already offended a large group of people, even if you stop now, it will be too late, it is better to be more ruthless." In the future, if you can't make a difference in your career, you will develop well in the army, and Wang Yiyu of the military department appreciates the change. ”
"I know that I have committed a big taboo by relying on force to deal with civilian officials this time, and maybe I can really only live in the army in the future." Su Hao said with a heartless smile, he didn't have much interest in things like being an official, and if he wanted him to be in the same league and complicit with those civil officials, he couldn't do it, so it was better to be a public enemy of officialdom.
Wang Xijue said again: "Now there is a difficulty, if you want to bring Liu Qichang down, you have to have conclusive evidence." So far, the evidence you have found is all circumstantial evidence, and it does not prove that Liu Qichang knew about these things. Uncle Zhong and I both know that there must be something wrong with Liu Qichang, but if there is no strong evidence, we will investigate him, I am afraid that those officials in the court will not give up. By the way, change it, do you know that this time with us, there is also a sworn enemy of yours, named Cheng Dong, do you know him? ”
"Cheng Dong?" Su Hao was a little surprised, "He and I are fellow villagers, and I have had some holidays with him." Why did he come with you? ”
Wang Xijue said: "He took the examination this year, won the Jinshi, and is now appointed as the editor of the Hanlin Academy. You made such a big move in Runing, and he wrote an article in the capital to discuss Su Hao, which had some influence. Therefore, this time, those who supported Liu Qichang recommended him to come to Runing with us, and the purpose was also to embarrass you. ”
"Ask Su Hao...... It's so uplifting. Su Hao was sweating profusely, and he couldn't imagine that he could still enjoy the treatment of being written by others.
Due to the backward means of communication, these things in the capital did not reach Runing, so Su Hao did not know about this matter before. Why Cheng Dong couldn't get along with himself, Su Hao really couldn't figure it out. He did have a skirmish with Cheng Yi and Cheng Dong at the earliest, but he quickly remedied it, helped the sister and brother enter the county, and recommended Cheng Dong to enter the academy. It can be said that without Su Hao's help, Cheng Dong's progress would not have been so fast.
Later, on the matter of the gold mining disaster, Cheng Dong launched a "reverse Soviet" campaign, but it was unsuccessful. For this matter, Cheng Yi also went to apologize to Su Hao, but Cheng Dong did not think that he was wrong, that is to say, in his heart, he always regarded Su Hao as an enemy.
Why does Cheng Dong have such a big hatred with himself? Su Hao was puzzled.
"Elder Wang Ge, you said that Cheng Dong also came to Runing, why didn't I see it?" Su Hao asked.
Wang Xijue said: "This is an idea from Wu Boxing, saying that it is difficult to ensure fairness if we go to ask the case like this, and we should arrange a few people to go to Weifu for a private visit to understand the people's situation." Cheng Dong somehow knew some local conversations, so he left halfway with someone. ”
"Hehe, of course he understands Runing's local dialect, what's so strange about this." Su Hao said with a smile, thinking of the Cheng family's incident in Runing, he suddenly felt a little funny. If Cheng Dong knew the truth about his father's murder back then, I don't know how he would feel.
"Such a clown jumping off the beam is not enough to worry about. Fu Yu, you just said that you may not be able to find evidence of Liu Qichang's involvement in the case, we have also thought of this, the old man and Gaizhi have collected some materials these days, let's discuss it together. Li Zhen said to Wang Xijue.
