However, since it was the emperor who gave such an evaluation, although Ouyang Shu was difficult to accept, he was not easy to refute, so he had to say: Your Majesty, no matter whether Fan Hongde is a disciple or not, he is always the elder brother of the lowly minister. Weichen still hopes that His Majesty can look at Weichen's thin face and forgive his sins. Yesterday's incident, Wei Chen felt that he should have done such an outrageous thing because he suddenly lost his loving father and couldn't stand this blow, that should not be his original intention, please Your Majesty to be aware of it! Besides, he has already been buried in the rolling Bianhe River, and people die like a lamp going out, so why should Your Majesty worry about whether its fireworks are smoky with a lamp that has been extinguished?

Zhao Xu said lightly: Aiqing's maintenance of this person, I saw it in my eyes, and I was also very moved. However, the testimonies are merciless. Anyway, since Aiqing opened her mouth to intercede, I will give you a face. If this person is really buried in the belly of the fish, and if he doesn't come out to cause trouble, I will forgive his sins, if he is not dead, even if I want to spare him, my relatives will be difficult to agree, Aiqing You should be able to understand!

Ouyang Shu knew that Zhao Xu could talk about this, which was already an extreme. He has always been a person who is not easy to talk to, if he continues to dwell on this issue, I am afraid that Ouyang Shu himself will be caught in this matter.

Moreover, Ouyang Shu didn't believe that Fan Hongde would be able to escape now. Although he still had the hope of what happened, and sent a lot of people to search. But that's just doing one's best and obeying the destiny of heaven. If Ouyang Shu didn't do this, he would feel very indebted to Fan Xiaolu.

If Fan Hongde is dead, he will be exonerated from the crime, and if Fan Hongde is alive, Zhao Xu will still punish him. And this is not suspended, it should be a capital crime. Since whether it is dead or alive, it will eventually die, for Fan Hongde, there seems to be no difference. But this is of great significance to the Fan family. If Fan Hongde is convicted of death, it will undoubtedly be a shame for the Fan family, who are extremely innocent. Moreover, maybe the rest of the Fan family will be implicated.

This is also the maximum that Ouyang Shu can win for the Fan family.

Ouyang Shu hurriedly said: Since it is Your Majesty's golden mouth, the minister has thanked Your Majesty on behalf of him. However, the minister still has a little doubt, I don't know if His Majesty can tell him wholeheartedly?

Zhao Xu frowned. He didn't really like it when someone spoke to him in that tone. However, he also knew that Ouyang Shu had always been like this, and it was not just this time that he was special. There seems to be something very strange in Ouyang Shu's personal temperament, he doesn't seem to care very much about dignity and inferiority. I think that at the beginning, when Xiang Zhangdun was called to be alone, if he was given a seat, he would basically refuse, but Ouyang Shu often agreed with a little politeness. With Ouyang Shu's temperament, Zhao Xu sometimes admires it very much, because he is bold enough, and sometimes he doesn't like it, because he doesn't seem to have enough respect for himself as an emperor. It's a very ambivalent mentality, and it changes over time.

At this time, Zhao Xu undoubtedly felt that Ouyang Shu should give himself more respect. But he is not easy to do, because he is not very close to Ouyang Shu now. So, Zhao Xu suppressed the unhappiness in his heart and said: Aiqing, but it doesn't hurt to ask!

Ouyang Shu said: The minister wants to know, those guards yesterday, where are they now?

Zhao Xu's face became more and more gloomy, and he was silent for a while, and he suddenly said in a deep voice: Today, Aiqing helped me, and the pulse diagnosis and medical treatment have been completed, so I should be tired, so I will resign!

Ouyang Shu suddenly understood, those guards must have disappeared mysteriously, Zhao Xu's methods have always been so ruthless, if he is allowed to burn a fire, he will never allow the spring breeze to blow and give birth to something.

Ouyang Shu got up slowly, saluted calmly, and turned around and walked out of the main hall.

Outside the main hall, there was already a small yellow gate waiting there to guide Ouyang Shu.

After walking forward for a while, Xiao Huangmen suddenly muttered: Strange!

Ouyang Shu was a little depressed at this time, so he asked casually: This Zhonggui, what are you talking about?

Xiao Huangmen glanced back at Ouyang Shu, slowed down a little, and let Ouyang Shu catch up with him, and then said softly in Ouyang Shu's ear: The slave is wondering, why didn't His Majesty let County Lord Li go to Chongning Palace.

Ouyang Shu was surprised and said: Did the Queen Mother, her old man, say that she wanted to summon me?

Xiao Huangmen is still young, about thirteen or fourteen years old, his face is immature, no wonder he has a bit of gossip spirit: That's not it, I just heard that Li County's chief doctor has unparalleled skills, and there is no one in the world who is more powerful than you. But I don't know why the official family asked you to see a doctor by themselves, but they didn't let you go to help your mother diagnose it.

Ouyang Shu was shocked when he heard this, and immediately said solemnly: Xiao Zhonggui, your words are not something that can be said casually. The official family is benevolent and filial, the world knows it, you say so, where is the official family?

Xiao Huangmen still looked ignorant: It's just that the Queen Mother's illness didn't call other imperial doctors to see her?

Ouyang Shu shook his head and said to the little yellow door kindly: Xiao Zhonggui, there are two sentences here, if you remember them, it will only be good for you, and there will be no harm at all. Things in the palace should not be talked about casually, especially who is sick and who quarrels with whom. Also, at all times, don't speculate that what you see may not be the truth. If you can't do these two things, Xia Guan can also give you another suggestion!

Xiao Huangmen's face was innocent, and he said in confusion: Please advise County Master Li!

Ouyang Shu said softly: Xia Guan has a pair of medicines that can make people become a mute, a dumb person who can't speak for the rest of his life! I think, Xiao Zhonggui, you may need it! One sentence is shocking, this is enough, and there is no need to say anything else. Soon, the middle-aged man was invited to Luo Youde's study.

Luo Youde is 45 years old this year, he is very short, his skin is dark, the bridge of his nose is collapsed, his forehead is bulging with a big bag, and his face is full of wrinkles, which makes him look a little old and decrepit. All in all, it is difficult to find any other adjectives for Luo Youde's appearance except ugly.

In this era when the imperial court pays attention to appearance, Luo Youde, an ugly-faced person, can dangle in front of the emperor for many years, without being annoyed by the emperor, and driving him out of the capital to become a local official, which can be regarded as an outlier.

Anyone who can become an outlier has amazing special abilities. And what Luo Youde relies on is his voice, and his voice is really good. The same sentence is very different from the words of others and from the mouth of Luo Youde.

However, today, Luo Youde's voice did not have the golden voice of the past, because he had been yelling continuously for an afternoon, since his little boy disappeared for no reason. Although his voice had always been good, he couldn't hold back the continuous roar, and finally became hoarse.

However, Luo Youde's habit of speaking has not changed, and he still hangs his head very low, which is also a habit he has developed over the years.

Because he knew that no one, whether it was the boss or the emperor, would like to see his dignity, although they all liked what he said. So, he came up with this way to play up his strengths and avoid his weaknesses: when he spoke, his voice was as high-pitched as possible, and his head was as low as possible. so that the obedient can only hear his voice, but not his face.

It seems that his trick is quite effective, he has been promoted quickly over the years, and he has always stayed in Zhongshu Province, the most powerful department of the Great Song Dynasty. As a result, he became rich, and many people came to make friends with him with all kinds of greeting gifts.

There are friends from afar, and they are happy. Luo Youde thought so, so he reluctantly accepted the gifts from these friends. It's just that what they thought about was that now these gifts have become a heart problem for him, because the one who disappeared with the little boy was also a list of gifts he had received over the years!
