Su Zheng was annoyed, looked at Xu Suining, who was smiling all over his face, and choked: "Lord Xu, let's stop and go all the way, and we have stopped no less than four or five times!" ”

When the words fell, seeing that Su Zheng didn't enter the oil and salt, and brushed his face in front of everyone like this, Xu Suining's old face suddenly pulled down, and his face was gloomy: "Hmph, the old man is not as good as Master Su, he is young and strong, and he is not afraid of the bumps in the road on this road, what's wrong with the old man being old and frail and resting!?" ”

"Huh? Old and frail? Since Master Xu also knows that he is old and frail, and he can't endure hardships and can't handle this errand, why don't he tell his old age and return to his hometown as soon as possible!? ”

"You! You ......"

Xu Suining pointed to the man on horseback and was so angry that he was speechless, but even so, he didn't dare to really tear his face with Su Zheng.

Although Su Zheng is only a small deputy imperial historian and a seven-rank official, he is a member of the Metropolitan Procuratorate after all, and the officials inside and outside the court are under his supervision, with low grades but wide authority, and the people in the Metropolitan Procuratorate are all well-known stubborn and stubborn Geng Jie's ministers, who are quite feared by hundreds of officials, and those officials are unwilling to offend these stinky and hard stones unless they have to.

Now that he went to Jiangdu to investigate the case, the emperor also specially sent someone from the Metropolitan Procuratorate to follow, obviously he didn't trust him, he endured it, snorted coldly and put down his hand, flicked his sleeves and walked towards the porridge shed, the little boss of the porridge shed looked at the big red official robe on his body, and then looked at the majestic honor guards, and hurriedly stepped forward to ask for greetings, "My lord, may I ask what you want to eat?" ”

Xu Suining was not hungry, looking at the simple black shiny wooden table in front of him, a trace of disgust crossed his gloomy eyes, he looked at Su Zheng, who was still riding on a horse, and said coldly: "Let's have a pot of tea!" ”

"Okay, please wait a moment!"

The shopkeeper hurriedly and respectfully retreated, Xu Suining and Su Zheng were still in a stalemate, those officials were also embarrassed at this time, the two adults quarreled several times along the way, each time one wanted to go fast, the other wanted to rest slowly, they rode horses, and the sedan chair was tossed like this, but it was okay for them to carry the sedan chair on foot, and no one dared to offend, and at this moment they were not walking, nor were they resting, secretly complaining!

Seeing that Su Zheng refused to rest and compromise, Xu Suining sat on the side of the road and slowly took a teacup and prepared to drink tea.

He didn't believe it, if he, the governor, didn't leave, Su Zheng dared to leave him and go to Jiangdu!

I only heard Su Zheng suddenly speak: "Since Lord Xu insists on resting, let's rest!" Xu Suining raised his eyes to look at him with some surprise, did he compromise with him? Thinking like this, he couldn't help but raise his eyebrows slightly, looking at Su Zheng with some pride, he knew how could his arms be twisted over his thighs!?

But the next moment, the smile on his face froze!

"Su is not more trusted and favored by His Majesty than Lord Xu, and he dares to neglect his duties so far, so he will not accompany Lord Xu and take the first step!"

When the words fell, only a high neighing sound of a horse was heard, and the dust was flying in front of him, Su Zheng really left him and rode away alone.

"Ahem......"

When Su Zheng passed in front of Xu Suining, the dust flying under the horse's hooves choked Xu Suining, who was holding a teacup, was full of face, and the red official robe was immediately covered with thin yellow dust, looking embarrassed, and the steward on the side hurriedly covered it for him, and said eagerly, "My lord, you, how are you!?" This Su Zheng is too arrogant to dare to treat you like this......"

Xu Suining was so angry that his chest couldn't help but rise and fall, and his face turned blue, but what was even more annoying was that since Su Zheng rode away, those officials looked left and right, and then followed behind Su Zheng.

Seeing this, the steward was also anxious: "Great, my lord, what should I do now!?" ”

Xu Suining glared at him angrily and shouted, "What else can I do!" Why don't you chase it yet!? ”

If you are really involved in dereliction of duty by the Metropolitan Procuratorate, it is not a joke!

After speaking, he hurriedly got into the sedan chair and rushed to Jiangdu!

Jiangdu, Xu Ru's house.

A flying pigeon passed the book fell steadily in his slender jade-like hands, and when he opened the letter and browsed the contents, he frowned slightly, and then took the lampshade and put the letter on the flaming red fireworks, and the tongue of fire quickly licked the letter and burned the letter into ashes.

"Ah Cai!?"

He sent his henchmen over, whispered into his ear, and said lightly: "Go, let them restrain themselves for the time being!" ”

"No!"

The man named Ah Cai respectfully retreated, and someone suddenly came to report outside the door, "Sir, Master Yang is here!" ”

Xu Ru remembered the recent incidents, frowned slightly, and said a little irritably: "What is he doing here?" ”

Seeing that he was in a bad mood, the little servant lowered his head and replied: "The slave doesn't know, but I heard that he came to wait outside our house last night, saying that there is something extremely important and wants to ask Mr. for help......

After thinking for a moment, Xu Ru said lightly: "In this case, invite someone in!" ”

When Yang Gong followed the little guy in, he saw Xu Ru and immediately smiled flatteringly: "Mr. has been busy lately?" ”

After a greeting, the two talked nonchalantly, although Yang Gong was calm on the surface, but his heart was already anxious, and he couldn't open his mouth about the important person, Xu Ru saw that he didn't say what he meant, and saw that he was obviously sitting on pins and needles, but he pretended to be calm, and finally said: "Master Yang is here this time, I don't know what the so-called thing is?" ”

Seeing that he finally spoke, Yang Gong wiped the cold sweat on his forehead and said with difficulty: "Sir, I came to ask you for someone this time......

Xu Ru raised his eyebrows slightly, but he was a little surprised: "Oh? Ask for someone!? ”

"I don't know who Master Yang wants to ask Xu?"

"That's it, it was Mr. who brought him into the house that day... Sir didn't know that the little girl had liked her very much since she saw her, and now that she didn't see the girl, she refused to eat, and I had no other way to dare to come and ask Mr. ......"

When the words fell, Xu Ru's face was gloomy, and a pair of eyes as cold as poisonous snakes stared at Yang Gong gloomily, very displeased.

Yang Gong looked at the eyes that made the scalp tingle, the fat on his face shook involuntarily, swallowed his saliva, hurriedly took out a large stack of silver tickets from his arms and handed them to him, and said with a dry smile: "Mr. is nothing more than asking for money, this is 10,000 taels of silver tickets, as long as Mr. is willing to cut his love ......"

But Xu Ru didn't look at the silver tickets, and said lightly: "I really don't hide it from Master Yang, I'm afraid I can't agree to this matter!" ”

Yang Gong still had a smile on his face, as if he expected Xu Ru to refuse, and asked, "Sir, is it too little?" If it is too little, Yang is willing to pay another 10,000 taels ......"

As he spoke, he clapped his hands, and a personal servant who came with him lifted up a heavy mahogany box, and said with a smile: "Here are ten thousand taels of silver, sir, look?" ”
