Fan Itguang bowed again: "It's true, a certain Fan Itguang is deeply favored by the prince and the marquis and can't repay it, seeing that the prince has been bullied for many years, he is determined to risk his life to show the truth." ”

The guests present immediately recalled, the meaning of the name Fan Qiguang is extraordinary, the grandson of Fan Xu's former Wuyang Hou is also a well-known figure in his county, and the grievances falsely accused by the Sheren are not too confidential matters, but the decision made by the Son of Heaven under the anger will not be taken back lightly, so he has to suffer the former Wuyang Hou family to be a subordinate official in the Hou Mansion.

When everyone in the Jingshi thought that Fan had traveled far away to Pei County, and it was probably impossible to return to Guanzhong in this life, he himself suddenly stood in the Pingyang Marquis' Mansion to defend Cao Shi, and kept saying that the Pingyang Marquis had given him a great favor and could not be repaid, and the smart man understood the ins and outs after a little thought.

Several old Confucian scholars stroked their palms and praised: "The Marquis of Pingyang is benevolent and filial, quite a gentleman of the ancients, such a person is a blessing to the people as a prince!" ”

"Pingyang Hou Renren also! Everyone is afraid of difficulties, and Dupingyang Hou gives a hand to help, this is a good story for the ages, and it should be praised! ”

"When it is praised, since the Han Dynasty, there is no one who has made contributions to Pingyang Hou Qiqi, and since Wenjing, there is no one more benevolent than Pingyang Hou Qiqi!"

Eating people with short mouths and short hands, anyway, sycophants don't need money, the scholars shook their heads and praised loudly, so numb that even the servants covered their mouths and snickered, probably never seen such a shameless person in their lives.

Cao Shi continued to be modest and courteous, and the scholars' praise for him was even more warm, and at this moment the benefits of the banquet for the scholars were immediately apparent, and this group of cultural people who mastered public opinion praised a sentence worthy of Taishou to say ten words, and Taishou Shentu Gong praised him for his benevolence and generosity, and only when they also praised could they truly recognize the benevolence of Pingyang Hou.

Cough!

Shen Tu Gong wiped the oil stains off his beard and reminded the scholars that their sycophants should be in moderation: "Since it is the Marquis of Wuyang who said it himself, it must be true at this time, what other losses does the Hou Mansion have besides the heavy loss of iron?" ”

Fan Qiguang heard his meaning and made a righteous indignant appearance: "The two horses are under the feet of Mingjian, the old people of Qi are not harmful, and the seedlings of Lu Lianzi of the Zongheng family are also!" After Qin annihilated the Qi State, he was ordered by Lu Lianzi to enter the mountains without caring for the Qin State, when the Chu and Han Dynasty fought each other, they went out of Shanxi to serve the King of Han, and before crossing the river, they fell into the hands of the Wei Wang Leopard and were almost captured as soldiers, and the Tibetans learned the art of iron casting in the craftsman's house, which has been passed down for more than 60 years for three generations! Lu is not harmful, he is loyal, proficient in the art of good ironwork, it is a pity if he dies in prison! ”

"Ahh The descendants of Lu Lianzi? "The heart of the master father almost jumped out, Lu Zhonglian is a hero admired by every Zongheng family, refute Tian Ba, three blames Meng Wei, help Tian Dan to attack Diyi, persuade Yan to abandon Liaocheng, dissuade King Wei from respecting King Qin Zhao as the emperor, and finally brush his clothes to hide his merits and fame.

Hearing the name of Lu Lianzi, even the Confucian scholars couldn't help but be moved, the world knows that Qi people are good at Confucianism, five out of ten Confucian students are from Qi, only Qi people themselves know that there were many vertical and horizontal families in the Jixia School Palace before the pre-Qin period, and Lu Lianzi is one of the most outstanding representatives.

The guests stopped and looked at Taishou, expecting their parents to uphold justice for the Marquis of Pingyang, and as expected, Shen Tu Gong was furious: "Lu Lianzi is the sage of Qi State, how can his descendants be treated so harshly!" ”

"The iron used in the Hou Mansion is produced in Anyi, the charcoal comes from the deep mountains, the utensils made are clear and clear, and there is no private collection, the Hou State has repeatedly framed the prince and the marquis with anti-intentions, this time the arrest of Lu Bu is not harmful, and the search for the Hou Mansion artifacts is to poison the Hou Mansion, although a certain was abolished as a common man, but in his heart he always has the will of the Taigong (Fan Xu), and he can't bear to see the prince and the prince being killed by the villain, and is determined to die to expose the crime of Ding Hui!" Fan Qiguang glared at Ding Hui angrily, and the servants up and down the Hou Mansion stared at Ding Hui angrily, and now no one doubted the authenticity.

"No wonder since I stepped into the Hou Mansion, I always felt that the atmosphere was not right, it turned out that this Ding Hui was making trouble." Some of the guests understood the angry expressions of the servants, whether intentional or unintentional, and their own princes were framed by villains, and when they entertained guests, they had to face the villains eating and drinking in the hall, and even those who had self-cultivation could not help but show anger.

The master's father Yan's eyes suddenly lit up, and he said eagerly: "Ding Hui is the commander of the Hou State, he doesn't want to repay the kindness of the Son of Heaven, and he bullies the princes, and he is sorry for the kindness of the Son of Heaven, and he is sorry for the responsibility of the commander of the Hou State, and he is sorry for the expectations of the people of the Hou State. ”

Ding Hui's face was bruised, and he couldn't imagine that this group of powerless scholars spoke so viciously, and he was so angry that he almost fainted.

The young Confucian scholars were not so good-tempered, and pointed at Ding Hui and scolded: "Looking at his sharp-beaked monkey cheeks, crooked mouth and slanted eyes, he must not be a good person, and sure enough, I am not wrong." ”

This has risen from the question of character to the question of appearance, scolding a person for being bad starts with his facial features, and then discusses his private morality and deduces that every word he has ever said is bad, which is also one of the secret skills of Confucianism.

The criticism gradually went deeper, Zhou Yang deeply felt that the matter was too big, and decisively turned around and saluted Cao Shidun: "I have something to tell the prince, a few days ago, I met Ding Hui to ask for a meeting, saying that the hidden armor in the prince's mansion was to plot a rebellion, and also said that the purchase of iron materials in the prince's mansion was to create weapons to collude with the Huns, a certain did not believe it, Ding Hui had to believe it, so a certain went to the banquet with 45 elite soldiers of the county, together with this Ding Hui 20 soldiers came to the Hou Mansion to arrest the prince. ”

"Arrest the prince?" The guests stood up in an uproar, unable to believe that the lieutenant who went to the banquet wanted to arrest a marquis, and even the officials and servants of the Hou Mansion couldn't help but get nervous.

Shen Tu Gong made an angry look: "Du Weiyou, you acted so rashly, you didn't sue Ben Taishou and did not take advantage of the county soldiers, according to the law, you will be punished!" ”

"Zhou Yangyou, if you dare to lie to me, you won't die well!" Ding Hui rushed over with his teeth and claws, and was kicked by Zhou Yang and fell two or three meters into the hall, not knowing whether he was alive or dead.

Zhou Yangyou pointed to Ding Hui, who fainted like a dead pig, gritted his teeth and scolded: "That's it, swearing to coax me, saying that the prince and the marquis cast soldiers rebelled and took out the iron tools collected as evidence, there are several iron pots in my house, all of which were secretly done by this fang, and what is even more odious is that he dared to bribe me with the gold looted in the Hou country, the gold is being temporarily detained in the mansion, and a certain intention is that no matter whether the rebellion of the prince and the marquis is true or not, he must strictly deal with this villain when he goes back!" Now the truth has been revealed to the world, this person coveted the wealth of the Hou Mansion so he framed the Marquis of Pingyang for rebellion, coaxed me to send troops to arrest the Marquis of Pingyang, and used public weapons for personal gain. ”

"He deserves to be punished! Abandon the city! The scholars shouted in unison.

Shen Tu Gong stood up, facing the excited guests, and solemnly announced: "Ding Hui's crime has been revealed to the world, there is no need to hold a separate trial, this person is a big rebel and unscrupulous crime should be cut off and abandoned in the city, and a certain decision to put this fang on death row in the county government, waiting for the autumn queen to be beheaded to make an example!" ”

Cao Shi looked at Ding Hui fainting and dying on the spot with pity, and secretly sighed that he was going to kill people by means after all, Ding Hui came to find fault with him several times, this time he copied the blacksmith workshop of the Hou Mansion and tore his face with him, if he didn't make a countermeasure, he would definitely die, and with Zhou Yangyou's ruthless methods, he wouldn't mind swallowing the Pingyang Houguo with his backhand.

The pity that was unintentionally revealed was seen by the Confucian scholar with a heart, so he pulled his colleagues and exclaimed: "The benevolence of the Marquis of Pingyang is like the sages of three generations, even in the face of the villain who framed him, he has mercy, such a broad mind is the blessing of the Son of Heaven and Sheji!" ”

At noon the next day, Zhou Yangyou personally came to the door to apologize to Cao Shi, and his sincere words were full of regret and chagrin, saying that he had mistakenly believed in the traitorous minister and almost harmed the virtuous Marquis of Pingyang, and if Hedong County lost such a sage as the Marquis of Pingyang, as a lieutenant, he would also be ridiculed by people of insight in the world.

Regardless of whether Zhou Yangyou is true or false, Cao Shi reciprocated with kind persuasion and understanding, anyway, he didn't have the ability to put down the cool officials that the Son of Heaven loved, so it was better to sell a good province but provoke this narrow-minded captain, and in a few words, he released his suspicions and set up a banquet to eat and chat, and the relationship between the two during the banquet was like a good friend.

Shen Tu Gong's office efficiency was extremely fast, and it didn't take long to send the news to the Hou Mansion after sending Zhou Yang away, Ding Hui was sentenced to abandon the city after the autumn, and the men of his tribe shaved their heads and beards as humiliation, and wore iron rings around their necks to go to the border as prisoners to build cities, and in order to take care of the women who could not go everywhere to serve the forced labor, they arranged for them to atone for their sins as rice workers in Anyi.

It is said that Ding Hui was frightened when he learned that he was going to be beheaded, and the stench that spread was even unbearable for the death row prisoner next door could not stand the curse, and what was even more unexpected was that on the night of the death sentence, Ding Hui quietly hanged himself on death row.

Cao Shi did not go into detail how Ding Hui found a rope in death row and how he hanged himself on death row without beams, and his speculation should be that the Taishou on Anyi's side reached an agreement with the governor to kill Ding Hui to commit suicide in fear of crime as the end of the false accusation case.

Lu Buxian was released, and all the stolen iron tools and iron pots were returned to the original owners, this blacksmith did not suffer much in the Hou State Prison, but he did not eat and sleep well there, and he was sad and white, Cao Shi, the hard-working and high-ranking family supervisor, gave a pension of 10,000 yuan, and his annual salary was 150 stones.

Another meritorious man Fan Taguang was also rewarded, at the critical moment he stood up to fight and speak out, not afraid of the power of the commander and justice for the Marquis of Pingyang, Cao Shi rewarded him with 50,000 money, ten horses of brocade silk, and the annual salary was also raised to two hundred stones, and the officials in the palace did not disrespect the decision of the prince.

Zhou Yangyou sent someone to allocate 300,000 money from Ding Hui's property as compensation for the loss of the Hou Mansion, as for the compensation of the Ming Mu did not intend to mention it at all, Chi Guoguo's intention to win over was in front of him and could not be refused, he took this compensation without thinking about it, Ding Hui has made a lot of wealth for more than ten years for the commander of the Hou State, but part of the money will be handed over to the Shaofu of the Son of Heaven's inner treasury, and the rest will be discussed between Taishou and Du Wei to divide the profits, as for how much the two of them divided and how much confiscation is unknown.

Shentu Gong sent someone to the Pingyang Hou Mansion to ask for the opinion of appointing a new Hou State Commander, and made it clear that he wanted to sue Cao Shi Shi this favor to the Hou Mansion, of course, he would not really be so kind to let go of a piece of fat, mainly because of Ding Hui's previous experience, at this time, recommending anyone to go to the Pingyang Hou State will become the target of public criticism.

He sent his henchmen to the Pingyang Hou Kingdom, and the dedication he did was not beneficial to Shen Tu Gong, and his half-heartedness might lead to burn himself and harm himself, so it was better to throw this hot potato to Pingyang Hou for a personal deal.

"When I thank Ma, I will do my best to take out the candidate for the commander of the Hou State."

Cao Shi smiled and entertained the servants of the Taishou Mansion, gave a pound of roast meat, a bowl of chicken soup, and the servants left with a thousand thanks, and when they left, they kept calling Pingyang Hou the most virtuous person in Hedong.
