"Huh!"

When the woman in white heard Sima Guang say that Li Kang was a concubine, she couldn't help but look at Li Kang, but he was still very strange in his heart, because Li Dang was dressed in cloth and wrapped in a square scarf, not like an official dress, and looked like an ordinary scholar.

Seeing that Sima Guang had already spoken, the woman in white was a little helpless, although she was reluctant, she still handed the yellow paper in her hand to Li Dang.

Li Dang looked at the paper, and did not take it directly with his hands, but took out the silk handkerchief from his arms, folded it into a thick small piece, pinched it in his hand, and took the paper through the cloth. Li Dare suspected that the paper was poisonous, and he suspected that this woman was cheating.

The main reason why Li Kang was suspicious of the woman was that he thought that the woman should not know that Sima Guang was in his carriage. Because of the ice bucket test last time, this time Sima Guang agreed to get into Li Kang's carriage, which originally had the taste of brocade clothes at night, and he wanted to go to the palace without knowing it. Although the guards were tight, there were no gongs and drums to open the way, and unless the woman saw Sima Guang getting into the carriage in front of Sima Guang's house, it was impossible to know that Sima Guang was in the carriage.

Li Dang still has a little doubt, that is, although this woman is coarse and poorly clothed, she doesn't want to be a woman from a poor family no matter how you look at it.

Seeing Li Kang being so careful, the woman in white raised her eyebrows, and felt a little angry in her heart, but she didn't stop Li Kang, and let Li Kang take out the silver needle drops from her arms and test whether there was poison on the paper.

After a cup of tea, Li Dang saw that there was nothing unusual on the paper, so he handed the paper to Sima Guang with confidence.

Sima Guang took the paper, he felt a little that Li Kang was too careful, where would a woman from a civilian family know how to apply poison, but he knew that Li Kang was also worried about his safety, so he didn't blame Li Kang, but nodded and thanked Li Kang.

Sima Guang glanced at the paper and found that the content described on it was similar to what the woman had just described. They all wanted to sue the magistrate of Kaifeng County, Kaifeng Prefecture, for forcibly levying exemption money, and also connived at his subordinates to beat people to death.

Sima Guang nodded to the woman and said: "This case, the official knows, the official will hand him over to Kaifeng Mansion, the lady will go directly to Kaifeng three days later to beat the drum and voice the grievances, and state the case, and the official will send someone to supervise Cai Jing, the prefect of Kaifeng Mansion, to properly handle the case." With that, he took the yellow-like paper into his bosom.

When the woman in white heard this, she knelt on the ground and kowtowed, thanking Sima Guang for her kindness. When the surrounding onlookers saw it, they also shouted one by one: "Sima Qingtian, Sima Qingtian, old man!" But Sima Guang was stunned for a while.

Sima Guang held the paper in his hand and frequently greeted the crowd with his fists, looking like a general who had returned victorious.

Li Dang helped Sima Guang onto the sedan chair, and through the curtain he found that the woman in white had not left, but was still standing in the crowd and waving to the carriage. Li Dang was a little strange, he felt that this woman was a little strange, but he himself couldn't tell what the problem was.

on the carriage. Sima Guang once again looked at the paper carefully, and he asked Li Dangdao: "What does Master Ma think of this exemption law?" ”

Li Dang knew that Sima Guang was testing his views on the New Deal, and he said vaguely: "Everything in the world has advantages and disadvantages, and a law is even more so." Whether the advantages of this military service law outweigh the disadvantages, or whether the disadvantages outweigh the advantages, I dare not comment on it because I have only studied it lightly. ”

Sima Guang saw that Li Kang did not deny the military service law. Somewhat unhappy in his heart, he continued: "This kind of exemption law is the most disturbing to the people. Always thinking about taking money out of the people's pockets, what kind of good law would it be. ”

Li Dare smiled: "But the people themselves are willing to pay, I think the problem is not in the exemption of money, the problem is in some other aspects, such as the level of the errand service is somewhat unreasonable, and there are indeed some places that need to be further standardized and improved in the collection and management of the exempt money." ”

Sima Guang still felt that Li Dang was helping the New Party to explain the law, and he smiled and said: "I think the original errand service law is better, since there is an errand service law, why bother to exempt from the law again." ”

Li Dare to shut up and not say anything, he found that according to Sima Guang's current cognition and judgment, he would not be able to convince Sima Guang no matter what, if he could convince him, I am afraid that Su Shi, who was good at debating, would have already persuaded Sima Guang and would not let him spend this exemption law.

Sima Guang originally felt that Li Kang had only served as a medical officer in Hanlin, had no experience in officialdom, and knew nothing about major affairs in the DPRK and China, so when he saw that Li Kang no longer said anything, he would no longer discuss the exemption law with him, he felt that Li Kang was just a blank piece of paper, and if he painted on him more in the future, Li Kang would become a member of his old party.

Sima Guang slowly rolled up the yellow paper and stuffed it into his sleeve, he remembered Li Dang's cautious appearance just now, and asked, "What does Li Juma think of that woman?" ”

Li Dang shook his head and said, "It's hard to say, I always feel that there are some problems, and I can't see it." ”

Sima Guang nodded and said: "Lao Yu also thinks that she is younger and more beautiful, not like a lady from a poor family, but looking at her paper, it doesn't seem to be a forgery, forget it, let's wait for Cai Jing to inform Cai Jing tomorrow and leave it to her to dispose of." ”

Li Dang also nodded and said, "As long as he doesn't want to embarrass Sima Xianggong, even if she is a little strange, he doesn't need to care about her anymore." ”

The two arrived in front of the Xuande Gate, in front of them was Da Nei, and they had to get off the carriage, first Li Dang jumped out of the carriage, Sima Guang followed behind Li Dang, poked his head out carefully, looked around, and hesitated a little, looking like a frightened bird.

Li Dare knew that Sima Guang was attacked here last time, and he was secretly amused in his heart, he thought that the last time Zhao Ying secretly attacked Sima Guang, this Xuande Gate should be heavily guarded, even if someone wants to commit murder here again, I'm afraid there is no chance to do it.

After all, this is the gate of the Forbidden Palace, Li Dare saw that Sima Guang had already gotten out of the carriage, waved his hand and asked his subordinates and his entourage to lead the carriage to a nearby shop to rest, and walked towards Xuande Gate with Sima Guang, who was supported by his subordinates.

At this time, there were a few dog barks in the distance, and then a few yellow dogs came out of the alley in front, and the yellow dogs looked ordinary, ordinary in height, and they didn't see anything weird.

No one paid attention to the three or four ordinary yellow dogs, and Li Dang and Sima Guang continued to walk towards Xuande Gate.

At this time, the yellow dogs had already trotted all the way to Li Kang and Sima Guang's side, and actually stopped.

"Not good!" Li Dang looked at the yellow dogs nervously, and had a very bad premonition in his heart that was not easy to describe.

Sure enough, those ordinary-looking yellow dogs actually opened their mouths, revealing their cold and shining teeth, which had a strange phosphorescent light, and it seemed that they were probably smeared with poison. (To be continued......)
