For a short period of silence, she and Cao Xun looked at each other.

A voice faintly floated in Bai Ling's heart—here.

Cao Xun in front of him revealed the face of a yin owl that he had seen in the dagger, and Bai Ling lowered his eyes and smiled

"Lord Shao is very conscientious. At least during my time in the city, he has pacified the people of the city very well. ”

Cao Xun hummed perfunctorily a few times, and walked closer to the road, "Songqing ...... after all I'm still a young man, and there are some things that I can't really see. ”

Bai Ling respectfully bowed his hand, "Please also ask Lord Cao for advice." ”

Seeing Bai Ling's sincere expression, Cao Xun coughed lightly, "Shao Kuan, this person, and what you see...... It's not the same. ”

"Huh......?" Bai Ling frowned a little confusedly, "What's the difference?" ”

Cao Xun shook his head, "He has long been used by the gold thief. ”

“…… Exploited by gold thieves? Bai Ling chewed on this sentence in a low voice, then looked up at Cao Xun again, and asked tentatively, "Did Lord Cao misunderstand somewhere, if Shao Xian Ling really had anything to do with the gold thief, I am afraid that the granary that is looking at both ends will be empty a long time ago." ”

Cao Xun laughed, he touched his bulging belly, and sighed with a smile.

"Otherwise, how can you say that you are young...... Cao Xun said softly, "Shao Kuan was used by the gold thief, but he didn't know it." The government is carrying the burden of a state capital on his shoulders, and the two generals Shen and Chang are working smoothly, what has Shao Kuan been doing all these years? Relying on the fact that he is a county commander, he has set up cards several times to block the dispatch of the army......"

Bai Ling listened silently and did not refute.

Hearing this, she had roughly understood.

Wang Meng also talked to her about these things this morning. Shao Kuan and Cao Xun did not get along with each other, and the former thought that the latter had completely abandoned the responsibilities of local officials; The latter suspected that the former was against him everywhere, and even went to Beijing to cause him to be criticized by the cabinet.

Now that the gold thief has only withdrawn from the army, Cao Xun has come to clean up the portal himself.

"I probably understand Lord Cao's worries, if it is really as you said, Shao Xian Ling has fallen into the trap of the gold thief without knowing it, then the two heads are indeed dangerous."

"Yes," Cao Xun nodded with satisfaction, "That's what Benfutai means." ”

"But ......," Bai Ling touched his chin with some embarrassment.

"But what?"

"Lord Cao's speculations are certainly very reasonable, but if you use this as an excuse to write to the court, the court will probably judge you by chasing after the wind." Bai Ling said softly, "After all, Shao Xian Ling is just doing things according to the rules, and this is not being used by gold thieves anyway...... Ah, I mean, in the eyes of the imperial court. ”

Bai Ling added, "After all, Pingjing is thousands of miles away from here, and the Shangguan in Beijing probably can't understand Lord Cao's painstaking efforts." ”

Cao Xun laughed.

"Benfutai has thought of it a long time ago, come, Songqing take a look at this." He handed over a fold, "This is an anonymous complaint received by this government before, do you remember the Chuzhou case that this government talked to you about before?" ”

"Yes." Bai Ling took the fold, approached the lantern, and then looked at a few wisps of light, "Is that the big case of the remnants of Qinyuan?" ”

"Exactly, Mrs. Shao Kuan's mother's family is also involved," Cao Xun smiled on his face, "We, the Shao County Commander, are close to the Jian'an Rebel Party, and it is not necessary to keep the wind blowing in his ears all day long, and today he refuses to give convenience to Shen Jiajun and Chang Jiajun, what will he do tomorrow, that is not necessarily."

"The two ends are the important towns between Zhuo and Yan, and there can be no mistakes." Cao Xun's voice suddenly became sonorous, "Now the people and city defense of Zhuozhou Mansion have been handed over to General Chang with full power, and it should be up to the government to personally sit here." ”

Bai Ling closed the fold and handed it back to Cao Xun, "...... Why are you showing me this fold? I'm an outsider, so I shouldn't be able to help you. ”

"I can help, I can help," Cao Xun said with a smile, "It's not enough to have this excerpt, and this government still needs a human certificate." ”

"Human witness?" Bai Ling was a little surprised, "But I have very little contact with Shao Xianling. ”

"Don't be restrained by these subsections, haven't you been living in the county government with Vice General Wang Mengwang during this time?" Cao Xun said in a low voice, "I will inadvertently see some special people, and special things are also very reasonable." Coupled with Song Qing's performance in the army during this time, your words are particularly credible. ”

Bai Ling couldn't help but laugh dumbly, "I don't know...... Who does Master Cao want me to see? ”

"Come here," Cao Xun hooked his palm, "I'll tell you." ”

……

"How can it be!" In the house, Wang Meng took the case, "The gold thief has not really retreated, and now he is still eyeing him sixty miles away, this dog official ...... I started thinking about excluding dissidents! ”

There were only Shao Kuan, Xue Ziping, Bai Ling, and Li Yiru hiding in the shadows.

"Cao Xun should be far more than me." Bai Ling put his hands in his sleeves, "He only said that he wanted me to insist on the first day of entering the two heads, and I saw a lame man following a leper head out of the side door of the county office, and then accidentally bumped into it a few times near the county office, which is the supporting evidence."

"I guess this lame and leper head is probably related to the gold thief or the people who saw the Pavilion," Bai Ling said softly, "I don't know who they are, but I do remember that such people have been here, so I am afraid that my position will be more credible because of their irrelevance." ”

Wang Meng looked at Shao Kuan, "What lame?" What leper head? You know what? ”

Shao Kuan shook his head blankly.

"Think again!" Wang Meng said angrily, "Let's go and arrest this gang first!" ”

"Calm down." Shao Kuan was helpless, "Where can I go to know what leper head and lameness...... Isn't this all a trap made up by Cao Xun out of thin air? ”

Bai Ling frowned slightly, "Lord Wang, don't forget that my friend is still in Cao Xun's hands...... Lord Shao's life is fate, and my friend's life is also fate. ”

"Songqing, don't worry." Xue Ziping said on the side, "Since Zhuozhou is now in charge of the general, we can help you write a letter and ask him to release that friend of yours." ”

"And what do you do now?" Wang Meng looked at Shao Kuan, "You can't just sit back and wait for death, right?" ”

"There's nothing wrong with sitting still." Shao Kuan said softly, "Even if my father-in-law's and mother-in-law's family really had contact with the old party of Jian'an Pavilion, we have been in the north for more than ten years, and we have not returned to Chuzhou once in the past ten years...... Every day is clear, I am upright, and I believe that the court will give me justice. ”

Shao Kuan paused, "Besides, there is plenty of grain and grass at both ends, and the terrain is precipitous, in this situation, even if Cao Xun is replaced to guard, I believe there will be no big problem." ”

“…… Yes. Bai Ling said suddenly, "It will definitely be." ”
