Ever since Jiang Ming heard that his son-in-law agreed to release Song Lao Wu, he looked like he had been struck by lightning and was out of the world. Mingyue sat on the main seat and looked at his uncle's stunned appearance, almost laughing to the ground. How could Song Lao Wu still be in the hall, Mingyue had to pinch her thigh with one hand, and tried her best to hold back her laughter. finally managed to get through until Song Lao Wu walked out of the hall of the Cao Gang, and Mingyue threw herself on the tea table next to her and laughed "haha", making Song Lao Wu drink the rest of the tea overflowing.

Mingyue smiled, Jiang Ming and the people present were instantly confused. Fortunately, Mingyue didn't let them guess for too long, and straightened up after a few laughs.

"Uncle Jiang, Song Lao Wu dares to sit in the seat of the leader of this Cao Gang and act recklessly, it is obvious that there is someone behind him. Although he is a general Shen, I don't believe it. General Shen is honest and upright, and the people in the southwest border of Jiyu know it. Eighty percent are the young people around General Shen, who did this thing of looting the people's fat and ointment in the name of General Shen. Even if we hold him today, we may not be able to control the people behind him in the future. Rather than being controlled by others, it is better to follow the vine and touch the melon, strike first, and understand the people behind Song Lao Wu. ”

With Mingyue's little bit of explanation, Jiang Ming put on a suddenly realized expression, and nodded in agreement from time to time. Without waiting for Mingyue's further instructions, Jiang Ming reacted, turned his head and shouted a few words from the two masked Deadpools, and the two Deadpools quietly went to chase Song Lao Wu. Seeing that Song Lao Wu's matter was over, Ming Yue once again focused his attention on the black-clothed guard who was pressed to the ground by Jiang Ming and couldn't move.

Playing with the smooth jade flute with his right hand and fumbling with the sachet with his left hand, Mingyue stood up and walked slowly towards Jiang Ming.

It is always a pity that his uncle has outstanding martial arts but has never found a suitable successor. If he can really find an heir for his uncle, he can be regarded as repaying the kindness of many years of nurturing.

Thinking so, Mingyue reached out and hung the jade flute around Jiang Ming's neck. Jiang Ming was stunned for a moment, and then nodded. As soon as Mingyue saw Jiang Ming's careful hiding of the jade flute, she knew that Jiang Ming would be wrong about him. However, Mingyue does not intend to correct this misunderstanding. After all, it is still unknown whether this black-clothed guard can become Jiang Ming's chosen inheritor, and now that everything is clear, it may affect Jiang Ming's choice.

"Uncle Jiang, let him go." Mingyue turned to look at the black-clothed guard and said.

"Huh? I think it's better to find a rope and tie it up. Jiang Ming was afraid that the black-clothed guard would make a fuss and hurt Mingyue, so he was a little uneasy.

Mingyue looked at the eyes of the black-clothed guard, those eyes were dark and bright. Through these eyes, Mingyue seemed to feel the heart of the black-clothed guard—empty. There are so few things in these eyes that one can count them on one hand. And there is no hatred or murder in what he has. Mingyue believed that even if he let the black-clothed guard go, he would not make any retaliatory moves.

"Uncle Jiang, you're tired for most of the night, you should also take a rest." Mingyue continued to insist euphemistically.

"Oh," Jiang Ming was a little reluctant, first ordered the two big holes on the shoulder blades of the black-clothed guard, and then loosened the clamp on the black-clothed guard, "It's been tossing for most of the night, and the son is also tired, why don't you sit for a while?" ”

Mingyue knew that Jiang Ming was afraid that the black-clothed guard would make trouble and hurt herself, so she smiled gratefully at Jiang Ming. After throwing the sachet to the black-clothed guard who had just stood up, he turned around and walked to the main seat in the hall.

"After being busy for most of the night, the brothers are also tired, and Song Lao Wu's problem has basically been solved, so we should discuss the matter of this Cao Gang." Mingyue, who picked up the hem of her clothes and sat down, looked around at everyone around her, and said loudly.

Ming Yue's words fell, and the two Cao Gang upper-level personnel who were still standing in the hall lowered their heads and shrank into the corner. Presumably, they would have preferred to get into the cracks of the ground at this time. Looking at their spineless appearance, Mingyue looked down on her. The manly husband has no responsibility, how to walk in the rivers and lakes. But after thinking about it, this kind of person is also easy to control, as long as the deterrence is enough, they don't dare to think about it anymore. It's just that this rectification of the Cao Gang is by no means something that can be completed overnight, where to start and how to rectify it, Mingyue can't come up with a charter for a while. Mingyue sat on the main seat and rubbed her hands, regretting it in her heart - if she had thought it through before, she wouldn't have to be as embarrassed as she is now.

"Oh, yes." Suddenly remembering the Cao Gang "traitor", a thought flashed in Mingyue's heart. Stretching out his hand and pointing at the man who was knocked unconscious, Mingyue continued: "Wake him up." ”

Mingyue gave the order, and a Deadpool immediately stepped forward to shake the "traitor" awake. Seeing that the "traitor" had been woken up, Mingyue asked suspiciously: "Seeing that you have short eyebrows and big eyes, a square face, thin lips and raised lips, and you look like a son of a rich family, you should be a kind-hearted person." You can come tonight and don't need to be rude, it can be seen that you also have a small status in this Cao ~ Gang. Why rebel against your own helpers when you are favored? ”

After the "traitor" woke up, he saw Shuyue sitting on the main seat, and immediately knew that Song Lao Wu had been defeated, so he first turned a blind eye to Mingyue's question, but laughed a few times. It was as if the laughter had taken away the resentment that had been entrenched in his heart for a long time, and after the laughter, his whole body became much brighter. Looking at it this way, Mingyue felt that this "traitor" was a bit pleasing to the eye.

"The cycle of heaven and retribution are unpleasant. Song Lao Wu, you have done a lot of evil, although I can't kill you, but I have others to make decisions for us sufferers. Retribution! It's not that they don't report it, it's just that the time has not yet come. The ancients did not deceive me! Hahaha! ”

The originally delicate face became a little red from the few laughs that were done with all his might. Seeing that this "traitor" was so happy, Mingyue answered with a wicked smile: "Song Lao Wu ran away, not died. You're rejoicing a little too soon. ”

As soon as the words fell, Mingyue saw the joy on the face of the "traitor" crumbled into powder little by little.

"Boy, what kind of enmity do you have with that Song Lao Wu?"

It was a bit inappropriate for Mingyue to call a man older than herself a "boy", but in this situation, the "traitor" had no time to take care of these trivial matters. "Song Lao Wu is still alive" has filled all the minds of the "traitor".

"This big brother", the "traitor", replied unwillingly according to Mingyue's words: "This Song Lao Wu took wealth and killed his life, collected miscellaneous taxes privately, and the villagers and people who were dragged down by him in ten miles and eight townships are really a scourge to the people. Yu Gong, this Song Lao Wu is simply a person who everyone deserves to be punished. When he saw that my brother and sister-in-law were beautiful, he became lustful, and first caused my brother who was my guard in the caravan to die, and then forced my sister-in-law to commit suicide by jumping into a well, and took pity on my little nephew, who was not yet born, and followed my sister-in-law into stillbirth. For selfishness, I can't wait to eat its flesh. ”

"Ahh This Song Lao Wu can do such a thing that is inferior to pigs and dogs. Jiang Ming looked jealous and hateful, and asked Mingyue angrily: "Son, after we catch Song Lao Wu again, how about handing it over to this kid?" ”

"Uncle Jiang—"

Before Shu Yue could answer, the "traitor" who heard the meaning of Jiang Ming's words instantly asked anxiously:

"What? What is re-grabbing? The "traitor" was a little excited, only to see him stand up staggeringly with a carp, and then walked to Jiang Ming's side in a few steps, grabbed Jiang Ming's chest and continued to ask, "How could you let that Song Lao Wu escape?" ”

After asking this sentence, this "traitor" reacted instantly, turned around and glared at the seated Shu Yue and asked, "Why did Gongzi let that Song Lao Wu go?" Childe brought someone to the Cao Gang in the middle of the night to talk to Song Lao Wu about things, thinking that he really couldn't bear Song Lao Wu's exploitation. In this case, Gongzi must know the behavior and evil deeds of Song Lao Wu. Dare to ask why Gongzi let go of Song Lao Wu and threw away a great opportunity to uphold justice for the people of Xiajin Mansion? ”

Seeing that the "traitor" could still maintain the etiquette of a scholar when he was angry, Mingyue secretly gave him a thumbs up. I saw Mingyue looking at this "traitor" with a smile on his face, as if he was not being questioned, and said lightly: "May I ask your scholar's surname?" ”

"Don't have your surname Fang, your name is flat. Did Childe really let go of Song Lao Wu? Fang Ping asked anxiously.

Shu Yue didn't answer, but nodded her head. The bib fluctuated a few times with Shu Yue's movements.

Seeing this, Fang Ping clapped his legs with his hands and said, "Childe really made a big mistake. My Guan Gongzi is also a person of strong blood, unlike ordinary businessmen who only value their own interests, why did they let go of Song Lao Wu so easily?

"Brother Fang, don't worry, what Brother Fang said about upholding justice is really not something that should be done below, let alone something that can be done below. Brother Fang is so harsh, it's really unfair to the subordinates~" Mingyue answered calmly.

As soon as Shu Yue's words came out, Fang Ping's face changed immediately.

"Childe's words are wrong. Although Ping fainted from the blow of the sword, he didn't know the reason for this. But just now that the son is sitting on the upper seat, Song Lao Wu doesn't know where to go, you can know that you must have subdued Song Lao Wu. Otherwise, how can Childe deal with it calmly now? ”

Fang Ping said as Shu Yue nodded secretly.

"Today's son is a sword, and Song Lao Wu is a fish. The strength of the high and the low has been seen. Childe is fully capable of upholding this justice for the people. What does Childe say about eliminating harm for the people, what is not something you can do? Even if Gongzi does not have a blood feud with Song Lao Wu like Ping, Song Lao Wu's dirty behavior is despised by all the people of Xia Jin Mansion. This Song Lao Wu is a transit locust, and people can destroy it. Why is Gongzi called the people's elimination of harm, not what a king should do? ”

Fang Ping was originally a scholar in his twenties, and it was when he was "at his peak". After an impassioned statement, Fang Ping stared at Shu Yue in the upper seat, and his eyes were full of his belief in black and white and right and wrong, and his dedication to justice. Shu Yue felt that her heart was shaken by Fang Ping's words, and her emotions rippled. However, the perennial patience with the pain has made Shuyue have a calmness and self-control beyond ordinary people. Mingyue was not swayed by Fang Ping's anger from beginning to end. It wasn't until Fang Ping's breathing stabilized again that Shu Yue slowly retorted:

"There is a national law in Jiyu. The two crimes of murder for wealth and private taxation shall be punished concurrently, and the sentence shall be immediately determined according to the law. The law is cloudy: only the priest can judge the offender and draw up the sentence, and only the criminal department can review the capital trial. According to Fang Gongzi's statement, Song Laowu's crime is undoubtedly a capital crime, and according to the law, it can only be convicted by Si Kou and reviewed by the Criminal Department. How can Yue Yijie Buyi preside over this justice? ”

After saying this long list of words in one breath, Mingyue secretly gasped. Curling his fingers, which were gradually unconscious, Shu Yue frowned and looked at Fang Ping not far away.

This person has a clear mind, is not chaotic in the face of danger, and has a heart to defend justice, but he is an upright scholar. In other days, if he can be a parent official, he will most likely be able to benefit the people. Nowadays, just because the world is too shallow, the way of doing things seems to be too deep and angular. Thinking of this, Shu Yue sneered at herself. He is a child who has just left home, and how much better is he than this scholar surnamed Fang? That's 50 steps and 100 steps.

When he looked at Fang Ping, who had just straightened up, Shu Yue felt that his momentum had calmed down a lot. Seeing this, Mingyue breathed a sigh of relief, and leaned back on the chair. Thinking about it, this Fang Ping is not a dead-eyed scholar, but he still knows how to be flexible.

"Born in Xia Nai, he is a businessman, and he cares about his own small profits. Punishing the evil and promoting the good and protecting the people is not what a businessman should do, but what the emperor and the officials who represent the emperor should do. If he is not in his position and does not seek his own government, is it possible that Fang Gongzi wants to fall into an unrighteous place and do that perverse thing? ”

"Childe misunderstood, Fang didn't mean that." Fang Ping hurriedly waved his hand and said.

Fang Ping now knew that although his thoughts could vent his hatred and protect the interests of the people of Xiajin, it was contrary to the law of the country. It is not right to act in this way. In addition, he was forced to ask by Mingyue, and he was ashamed of his recklessness for a while.

Seeing that Fang Ping was like this, Shu Yue was no longer pressing.

"Childe, don't worry, even if this Song Lao Wu walks out of this hall tonight, it is still in our grasp. As long as the forces behind him are discovered, they can find a way to uproot a handful of people from this fish and flesh. When he goes to court in the future, he must borrow the talent of his son's tongue. ”

On the one hand, Shu Yue comforted Fang Ping, but on the other hand, he did not forget to ridicule him, which shows Ming Yue's bad taste.

Fang Ping had no choice but to say, "Don't dare." Although he was dissatisfied with Mingyue in his heart, because Mingyue promised to bring the old five to justice, he didn't have so much resentment.
