Xiao Jiading came home, prepared to take a rest, and went to work on the affairs of the yamen tomorrow, but things would not let him get leisure, he didn't look for it, but things would look for him in turn.

Just as he was about to have dinner, Geng Changshi's servant sent an invitation and asked him to go to Geng Changshi's mansion for a banquet immediately.

Xiao Jiading muttered: "How can you have a treat when it's time to eat?" Isn't that a table? ”

Crazy Mei is very happy, in the end, it is the banquet of the third person in Yizhou, what a big face. Zhang Luo, who hurried, changed Xiao Jiading into a new robe.

After receiving the advance payment from the quarry, they immediately had money, so they bought their own carriage and hired a reliable old handlebar style, so that it was easy to get around. So this time, Xiao Jiading went to the banquet and took his own carriage.

took the car to Geng Changshi's mansion, and unexpectedly, Geng Changshi personally greeted him under the corridor this time. This made Xiao Jiading a little flattered, and hurriedly stepped forward and bowed.

Geng Changshi also returned the salute and welcomed Xiao Jiading into the house.

Xiao Jiading originally thought that Geng Changshi would only invite guests when he was eating, the purpose was to ask himself to make up the number, but he didn't expect that there were no outsiders in the empty dining hall, and there was not even Geng Changshi's family. There was only one small but elaborate banquet.

After Geng Changshi and Xiao Jiading sat down, the maid on the side came up to pour wine. Xiao Jiading knew that Geng Changshi must have something important to discuss with him this time, so there were no outsiders or even family members. He didn't ask what it was, only the two of them, and he didn't take the initiative to speak, just eating and drinking.

Geng Changshi seemed to be preoccupied and didn't talk much. When the pot of wine was drunk and both of them were a little drunk, he spoke, sighed, and said, "The amnesty decree of the imperial court has been issued." I'll be in Yizhou in a few days......"

Xiao Jiading pretended to be happy: "Then Jiang Gongzi will be released from prison and reunited with you soon......" was about to continue to say that it was gratifying, but he suddenly found that there was no happy look on Geng Changshi's old face, so he felt that something was wrong and looked at him suspiciously.

Geng Changshi sighed and said: "This amnesty is limited to crimes below the sentence of exile, not including corrupt officials and corrupt officials, nor capital crimes!" ”

Xiao Jiading was overjoyed in his heart, and secretly screamed, this is really Skynet's restoration and negligence! The amnesty also failed to save Jiang Zhongyuan, a thief. The sky really has eyes!

He applauded vigorously in his heart, but his face was stunned and frightened, and he said urgently: "How can this be? ”

"The people in the palace sent me a message with an expedited report of 800 li, saying that it was originally necessary to pardon even those who were sentenced to death, but the prime minister of the eldest grandson and other ministers disagreed, saying that the Wu family is now just a Jieyu - by the way, the Wu family has given birth to a dragon son, and the saint canonized her as Jieyu. - At first, the ministers were against the amnesty of the world because of the Wu family's son. He said that there was no such rule, but the Holy One insisted on amnesty, and finally reached a compromise and only granted amnesty to those below the exile sentence. There will be no amnesty for the death penalty and corrupt officials. Alas! ”

Xiao Jiading was stunned, this result was also beyond his expectations, it seems that Wu Zetian at this time. is far from becoming a climate, even with the help of the emperor's power, he can't compete with a powerful minister like the eldest grandson Wuji. But. This matter will definitely put a thorn in Wu Zetian's heart! I am afraid that the eldest grandson Wuji will be overthrown by Wu Zetian in the future, one of the reasons is this.

Xiao Jiading said to Geng Changshi with a frightened face: "How can this be? I wouldn't have come up with this bad idea if I had known it......"

Geng Changshi waved his hand and said, "I don't blame you for this!" No one could have imagined that the eldest grandson and prime minister didn't know about Jiang Yuanzhong, a rabbit cub, so he ...... Alas! It's really better to count people than to be counted by heaven! After this amnesty, I am afraid that there will be no more amnesty in a few years, so there is no way for him to do this case, and he cannot delay it any longer. You can only resign yourself to fate. ”

Xiao Jiading looked panicked, but he was very happy in his heart.

Seeing him like this, Geng Changshi smiled and said, "Forget it, don't talk about this matter." Today I invite you to dinner, in addition to telling you about this, I have to tell you one thing, and this is the right thing. ”

Serious business? No, the business is not ordered in the Yamen Council, but when I was eating and drinking at home, I said that this is not a matter of being on the table. Thinking so in his heart, he quickly changed his face to a respectful look, sat upright, and said with a smile: "Geng Changshi, please command." ”

"Don't be so restrained, I shouldn't be in charge of this matter, I'll tell you, I just want to help you."

Help me? Xiao Jiading laughed secretly in his heart, using me to carry my reputation, in fact, I am afraid that I just want to help yourself, right?

Geng Changshi came to his lips, hesitated for a moment, and still said: "The case that the prince of Shu handed over to you today is the one from Captain Han. Her daughter risked her life to stab, and it shook me greatly. This case is a matter in the army, not for us to investigate, so I don't know the specific situation, and I don't know whether Lu Dao was wronged or not. However, since his daughter was willing to sacrifice her life to ask for a review of her father's case, I wondered if there was really a grievance in it. ”

Speaking of this, he squinted at Xiao Jiading with a pair of blister eyes, wanting to see his reaction.

Xiao Jiading had a thoughtful expression on his face, which made Geng Changshi very satisfied, and his words seemed to have spoken to his heart. Then he continued: "Although I don't know much about this case, but I have heard some of it, it was a lot of uproar at the time, I won't talk about the specifics, however, I heard that this Captain Han is a person who has no opinions, if he really collaborates with the enemy, I'm afraid it is not his own idea, will someone instigate him later?" - Of course, this case is not my responsibility, even if I have the heart to investigate, I can't do it. Xiao Zhiyi, you are all old acquaintances, and now that the King of Shu has handed over this case to you, I will rest assured, hehehehe"

Xiao Jiading immediately understood the meaning of his words, and immediately hugged his fists and said: "Geng Changshi, please rest assured, whether there are any grievances in this case, and if there is anyone behind the instructions, I will definitely find out and report to Geng Changshi when the time comes!" ”

He said this on his lips, but secretly said in his stomach: Why should I listen to you? Just because you gave me a beautiful difference to buy a horse? This is just a favor for you, since this is the case, I can also look at the investigation of the case and give you a favor.

Geng Changshi was very satisfied with Xiao Jiading's statement, which was also the main purpose of his banquet for Xiao Jiading today, and he nodded frequently at the moment. The goatee twisted his chin and said: "Okay, I can help you with the staff officer, after all, this is a case of rebellion, it is very important, you are young, and many of the stakes are not easy to understand." ”

Xiao Jiading hurriedly showed a grateful look, and hurriedly arched his hand: "Thank you, thank you Geng Changshi!" ”

"My own brother! You're welcome! Geng Changshi smiled and said, "By the way, you saved the life of the King of Shu today, but you have made a great contribution." This matter is known to the whole Yizhou, and they all know that you will become a big celebrity in front of the prince of Shu. The future is promising! ”

Xiao Jiading was terrified, and arched his hand: "Don't dare to be, that's the prince's blessing, I don't have any credit." ”

"Hmmm! It's good not to be greedy. However, we are old acquaintances, and there are some things I have to warn you of. ”

"Geng Changshi, please speak!"

"Everyone will have a lot of opportunities in this life, all kinds of opportunities, some opportunities have a bright future, and some opportunities may not. So, on the one hand, we must be good at grasping such opportunities, and on the other hand, we must pay attention to these opportunities, and there are some so-called opportunities, which are not necessarily good things to seize. This, you are still young now, and you have just set foot in officialdom, I don't know how powerful it is, so you have to be cautious and cautious! ”

Xiao Jiading's heart sank, this old fox first said that he saved the king of Shu, and he will definitely have a great future in the future, and then said that it is not necessarily a good thing to seize the opportunity, and he should be cautious, doesn't that mean that he should not hug the thigh of Li Ke, the king of Shu?

Of course! Xiao Jiading studied the history of the legal system, and specialized in the study of the laws of the Tang Dynasty, so he was of course well aware of the important events of the Tang Dynasty. This Shu King Li Ke will soon be unlucky, such a big tree that is about to be cut down, knowing that Lu Dao still wants to hug it, isn't that looking for death? However, then again, Lao Tzu will soon be unlucky, and the eldest backstage chief Sun Wuji you are counting on will also be unlucky! It's just a matter of time!

The key is the question of this time, we must make full use of our understanding of history, do not seek merit, but seek no fault, and keep safe in the wind and waves! Before Li Ke falls, he still has to make full use of this ladder to climb up, and if he can't go up, then he is a fool. Of course, you can't give people the impression that you are Li Ke's person, which is fatal.

From Geng Changshi's words just now, it can be known that Li Ke's opponent is Geng Changshi, the person behind him is Pan Beijia, and the person in the court is Sun Wuji, the first minister! Therefore, the key is to make these people think that they are not Li Ke's people, but their people, and that is enough.

Xiao Jiading was also sincerely frightened and a little dazed: "Yes, yes, I don't know a lot of things, and I ask Geng Changshi to give me more advice and support." ”

"Hmmm! Say! The family doesn't talk to each other, and when it's time to remind you, I'll remind you. Rest assured! ”

Geng Changshi mentioned his family several times in a row, and if the family said like this, it was obvious that he was trying to win himself over, which was exactly what Xiao Jiading wanted, so that Geng Changshi and them would regard themselves as their people, and when Li Ke was killed by the eldest grandson Wuji in the future, he would not affect himself. Although this matter is not unsuccessful, but a gentleman who is unfortunate often does not get a good death, and he doesn't want to be such an unlucky gentleman.

Therefore, Xiao Jiading was busy showing his loyalty again, which made Geng Changshi even more happy.

After the business was finished, Geng Changshi asked the servants to send the singers, singing and dancing. Drink while watching.

When the wine was drunk, Geng Changshi squinted at Xiao Jiading with a pair of drunken eyes, and said with a smile: "Brother Xiao, has your marriage been settled?" (To be continued......)
