"It's okay to plead, but it's not such a pleading!"

When Zhou and Li looked at each other, Xu Shu suddenly said.

Hearing this, Zhou seemed to see a savior, and hurriedly asked, "Then what should I do?" Aunt and aunt listen to you! ”

"Aunt probably can't be the master of this matter!"

Xu Shu's words made the smile on Zhou's face freeze, and Xu Shu continued, "I didn't mean to offend my aunt, but my aunt may not be fully aware of this matter!" ”

"What do you mean?" Zhou was stunned.

Xu Shu said lightly, "Auntie, let's go back and ask Lord Song!" You want me to help you intercede, so you have to tell the truth, right? ”

Only then did Zhou realize that what her husband said to herself might be only part of it, what did her husband hide? Zhou suddenly had no intention of staying at the Xu family, and hurriedly left.

As soon as Zhou left, the mother and daughter were relatively speechless, and Li felt uncomfortable thinking about Xu Shu's questioning.

Xu Shu was silent for a moment and got up and said, "I just came back to my mother's side, I should go and ask my grandmother to say goodbye!" ”

"Then there you go!" Li didn't keep it, and he didn't send it.

Out of Chunhui Courtyard, Bang Feng was both excited and relieved, "The tone in which Miss spoke to Madame today...... It's really ...... "It's refreshing to listen to!"

"Mother...... She feels so sorry for the seventh sister! Xu Shu smiled coldly, "Mother is so smart, but she believes whatever the Song family says, and it's not the first time that the Song family has deceived the Xu family. ”

"Madame, no matter how distressed Miss Seven is, you can't take Miss seriously!" Turning the tide is uneven.

Xu Shu smiled, "I spoke so fiercely today, do you listen to it?" ”

Bang Feng nodded vigorously.

Xu Shu couldn't help but shake her head and laugh, "I just don't want my father to quarrel with my mother anymore, I don't mean anything else!" ”

Bang Feng's face suddenly collapsed with a smile, and Xu Shu continued, "The Song family's suspension and thorough investigation this time is definitely not just a simple matter of corruption, there are more officials in the Dayin Dynasty who eat empty salaries, why do others hold on to the Song family, there must be a reason here!" Concubine Wen's status in the palace is lower than that of the queen mother of the two palaces, and the queen does not dare to offend people easily, but she ended up seriously ill because she spoke for the Song family, and I am afraid that it is not small for the sake of this! The road in the palace was broken, and the Song family hit me with the idea, but they deliberately concealed the truth and did not say it, and my mother defended the seventh sister's heart very much, so I was surrounded by the Song family, and was coerced by the Song family to force me to enter the palace to intercede for the Song family! If I can't wipe my face and agree to it, my father will have a fight with my mother when he gets the news, so I'll just be this wicked person, anyway...... My mother doesn't like me either! ”

"Alright, go and say hello to Grandmother!" Xu Shu took a deep breath and walked out first, following behind him sullenly.

Zhou's walk was two days, and on the third day, the Song family finally came again, it was Song Xin, the loyal and brave uncle, and Song Hong, the second master, Xu Shu was invited to go over, and there were already a room of men in the house, except for the third master Xu Yang, the other two masters and the old lady of the Xu family were there.

"I've seen my grandfather, my father, my second uncle, and two adults!"

Seeing Xu Shu coming in, Xu Hui immediately stood up, "Why is Sister Shu here?" Is this something you can mix? Get out of here! Although the tone of reprimand, there was a strong sense of concern, for fear that Xu Shu would be involved in these troubles!

"I called her!" Xu Guan, who was seated, spoke.

"Father!" Xu Hui was anxious, "She is a child, and she can't even participate in the third brother, what do you want her to do?" ”

Xu Guan ignored Xu Hui, "Sister Shu is smart and capable, she may be able to help in this matter!" ”

Xu Hui wanted to say something, but was stopped by Xu Shu, "Father, don't be impatient, my daughter came voluntarily, and my daughter also promised Second Aunt Song last time, as long as Lord Song tells the truth, my daughter will promise her to enter the palace to intercede!" ”

Xu Hui glared at Xu Shu angrily, he couldn't fight if he wanted to, he couldn't open his mouth if he wanted to scold, Xu Shu served tea to Xu Hui and said in a low voice, "Father, don't worry, daughter has her own measure, if things don't go right later, her daughter will pretend to be sick, and they won't force a patient if they think about it!" ”

Xu Hui was a little relieved when he heard this, but he still sulked with his eyes puffed out.

"Uncle Song just said that he had something to say to Sister Shu'er, and now that she is here, Uncle Song has something to say, hurry up!" Xu Guan made a gesture of please.

Song Xin glanced at his younger brother, Song Hong nodded almost invisibly, and Song Xin spoke, "I'm ashamed to say that it's all a disaster that I did, but I have to work hard to help my in-laws deal with the aftermath, it's really a shame!" ”

"Something to say! Don't say those polite words! Xu Hui looked impatient, "Sister Shu'er is not in good health, so she can't stand it!" ”

Song Xin choked, and said with shame and anger, "The matter of eating empty salaries is actually not tight, the amount is not large, the penalty is just a downgrade, it has been handled like this in the past, and there is another thing that is really difficult for me to say......"

"Then I'll tell you!" Song Hong suddenly spoke, "When my brother was serving in Fuzhou, it happened that I was also serving as the Lieutenant of Guoyi in Fuzhou, so I also have a part in this matter!" ”

"It was still the summer of the fourth year of Emperor Xingping, the plague broke out in Dongshan Village in the jurisdiction of Fuzhou, and more than 200 people in the village died. There was a plague in the jurisdiction and more than 200 people died is the dereliction of duty of the governor of a state, Chao Thorn Shi did not dare to report, but I was afraid that the news would leak out, I was worried that my brother would be affected, and it happened that there were bandits entrenched on the top of Dongshan at that time, so I made up a plan to make up the mountain bandits to slaughter the village, and led the troops to exterminate the mountain bandits to cover up the past! We just wanted to hide the plague for a while, but the first emperor was cleaning up the internal troubles at that time, and after the assassination history presented the excerpts of the bandits, the first emperor Longyan Dayue rewarded the officials of Fuzhou and the big and small, and the Jiannan Road corruption case Chao Assassination history was also involved, and the Dali Temple found out about the plague in Fuzhou that year, and my brother and I were also dismissed! It's just that it's been going on for many years, and there is no evidence, so it's still inconclusive! ”

Compared with the crime of deceiving the monarch by lying about military merits, eating empty wages is really nothing, no wonder the Song family is so panicked, once the crime is implemented, it is inevitable to kill the head, especially when it comes to the first emperor, the saint today naturally has to be punished heavily.

Xu Guan didn't expect that the Song family still had such a big secret, this crime of bullying the king could not be exonerated by interceding, didn't this make the Xu family embarrassed? Xu Guan looked at Xu Shu, his mood was a little complicated, he hoped that Xu Shu could find a way to solve this matter, so that the Song family could owe the Xu family another favor, and hoped that Xu Shu would be powerless, so that the Xu family took the opportunity to break off friendship with the Song family on the grounds of deception.

"There's nothing I can do about it!" Xu Shu listened to the indifferent speech.
