The man said: "I'm Liao Xu, and I'm also in the water prison like Shen Gong, and I've been here twice before, and my sister-in-law is afraid that she won't remember." ”

As he spoke, he specially gave way to the side, showing the person behind him, and said respectfully: "I came with Gu Gongshi today, and there is nothing to do, just come over to have a look." ”

Liao Sanniang followed his guidance and looked, and sure enough, there was a man standing upright a few steps behind him, but it was dark now, and he couldn't see his face.

The husband has been in the capital water prison for many years, and the name of the person above Liao Sanniang has more or less heard it, but she has never remembered that there is a business surnamed Gu.

But now is not the time to dwell on this, she hurriedly let the door open, invited the two of them to enter, turned her head and shouted inside: "The head of the house, there are officials from the water prison." ”

He shouted to the kitchen again: "Hehua, make tea for uncle!" ”

Just as he was beckoning people to go inside, the thin woman had already come in through the crack in the door and asked loudly, "Hehua mother, what are these two here for?" The one in the back looks like that, it's very majestic, isn't it your boss who has committed something? ”

Liao Sanniang originally wanted to thank her, but when she heard her words, she even rolled out the whites of her eyes, and honestly and unceremoniously invited someone out, thanked her in her mouth, and closed the door in a hurry.

For such a delay, by the time she entered the hall, she had already sat down.

The daughter served the tea, grabbed a tray in her hand and stood at the door of the back wing, and took half a curtain to block it.

Liao Sanniang pulled her sleeve and said, "Let's go into your house, you don't have to worry about talking here." ”

Shen Hehua whispered: "Mother, I don't know what they are looking for Daddy, I'll help you listen here, if there is anything bad, you go to Uncle Gao's house to report a message." ”

Liao Sanniang couldn't cry or laugh when she boarded.

If there is really something bad, even if it is said, what is the use?

But her daughter has such a heart, after all, it is good, she didn't stop her, and stood here together to listen to what was being said outside.

The Shen family is not big, and there is no main hall or side hall, only a larger main house that serves as a main hall and a dining room.

Shen Cunfu didn't know anything about Gu Yanzhang, Gu Yanshu, although he was recommended by Liao Xu, because he still had anger in his heart, and he didn't know his origins, he didn't bother to pay attention to him, so he only spoke to Liao Xu angrily, and said: "There are many people in the Dushui Prison, and the people around you don't dare to come, but you are bold, and you are not afraid that the official affairs will trouble you with the master book?" ”

Liao Xu was very embarrassed when he heard this, and laughed dryly, so he had to turn his head to look at Gu Yanzhang on the side, and said, "It was Gu Gongshi who came with me, because I know the ...... way."

Shen Cunfu only said "oh", and this time, even Liao Xu didn't pay attention to it.

The atmosphere outside suddenly became a little awkward.

Liao Sanniang and her daughter stood inside, both a little embarrassed.

Shen Hehua whispered: "Dad, he has a very strange temper. ”

Liao Sanniang reprimanded: "Don't talk nonsense! ”

Outside, Liao Xu waited for a while, but he didn't see Shen Cunfu greeting, so he had to say, "I ...... to come to Gu for business today."

"I'm here this time because I want to ask to teach Shen Gong." Gu Yanzhang followed Liao Xu's words, and said straight to the point, "I was appointed by the Chinese book, and now I am temporarily acting as the head of Zhang Hu Zhang's official affairs......

He was only halfway through his words, and Shen Cunfu already sneered: "Where am I proficient in water affairs?" I didn't see the Xinzheng Gate outside, it was because of my negligence and ignorance that I made a mistake in Junchuan! ”

Gu Yanzhang listened to his words, so he didn't pick it up, but he didn't hear it, and said again: "I arrived late, but I haven't heard about it...... Because he only took office today, and he met Fan who wanted to participate in politics and wanted to do that guide Luo into Bian, there were a lot of chores in the water prison, and it was not easy to leave without permission, so he could only come back at this time, but it was a little late, and he didn't bother Shen Gong? ”

He said a lot of words, but Shen Cunfu only heard two of them, and he was still cold-faced, but at this time, he couldn't help but ask: "What is Luo Tongbian?" ”

Gu Yanzhang was afraid that he wouldn't ask, and finally waited for this sentence, so he took out the manuscript that he had prepared earlier, pushed it from the table, and said, "It's exactly this matter, I think Shen Gong has heard about it?" ”

Shen Cunfu subconsciously took the manuscript and was about to open it, but when he touched his fingers, he hurriedly took his arm back as if he had touched fire, and snorted from his nose, saying, "What do you do, what do you have to do with me?" ”

Gu Yanzhang said: "It's still a little related." ”

"I remember that when Xiangfu was three years old, the Jingxi Tidian Prison Administrator Gao Shen Gao Tidian majored in the Yellow River embankment, because he acted in a cost-saving manner, and repaired firmly, the court issued an edict to reward him, and at that time, the water workers recruited in the Criminal Division, although they were not all in the water prison, but they all changed their official bodies, and they were each divided into twenty taels of silver and two horses of silk." He pointed to the copy in front of Shen Cunfu, "Shen Gong has been in the capital water prison for many years, and I think I know better than me, what is the merit of this Daoluo Tongbian compared with the construction of the Yellow River embankment?" ”

Shen Cunfu took a deep breath, and even the wings of his nose opened wider, but he quickly reacted and said, "No matter how great the merit is, it is also the merit of Fan participating in politics......"

Before he could finish speaking, he saw the person on the other side take something out of his sleeve.

It was a yellow silk with a white background and words on the bottom.

Although Shen Cunfu had never seen anything like this, he seemed to feel something in his heart, and for some reason, even his heartbeat skipped two beats.

"I wonder if there is pen and paper here?"

He could hear the "Gu Gongshi" on the other side ask.

Because he didn't know what was going on, Shen Cunfu subconsciously shook his head.

"That's a pity......"

He sighed softly when he heard "Gu Gongshi".

The yellow silk was pushed in front of him.

"It's already stamped, as long as you fill in Shen Gong's name, even if it can be used, for now, it will have to wait for tomorrow......"

The sound in my ears became smaller and smaller, more and more indistinct, and my ears seemed to be blocked with a ball of cotton.

Shen Cunfu couldn't hear anything clearly.

All he could see was the one in front of him.

It's an edict.

An edict conferring official status.

The lower left corner is covered with a big red clay seal of the Chinese book, and there are the official seals of the officials and Liu Neiquan, it is obvious that it is already night at this time, but a few big red seals are placed in Shen Cunfu's eyes, but they seem to be glowing.

The name at the beginning of the epistle is empty.

"It can still be a little related......"

In a daze, he heard the person opposite him say softly.

However, Shen Cunfu still reacted quickly.

He looked up and asked, "Couldn't such a good deed be given to me for nothing?" ”
