"Son, born in our princely family, it may not be much happy, don't look at my father, I seem to be very leisurely every day, but my father is bitter..."

The king of Shu often said this when he had a heart-to-heart relationship with his son.

And His Royal Highness the Prince would kneel in front of his father at this time, and said with tears streaming down his face: "The child is not filial, and his father suffers." ”

This pair of loving fathers and filial sons is a model in the eyes of the people of Chengdu, and I am afraid that the people can find the only advantage in the King of Shu.

That night, the king of Shu was finally able to sleep well with the deflated food of the governor. He fell asleep sweetly, and had a sweet dream of urinating on the side of the Doge's bedside.

--

But the Governor's Palace, which is several miles away from the Shu Palace, is uneasy tonight.

What happened during the day made him feel the seriousness of the situation.

I'm afraid this is not or is not just an extension of the competition for power and profit in the officialdom, if Bazhong County wanted to bring down the Caocao County Order, it would not make such a big fuss.

Millions of taels of dirty silver, colluding with bandits to rob the people's money, lasted for decades.

If this case spreads out and is put in the officialdom of the whole world, it will be a big deal.

Even the Liang State of Wei, which was relatively not so clear in the rule of officials, had never heard of a certain county order daring to do this.

Admittedly, it may just be that it was not found and not reported, but this is enough to show the seriousness of this matter.

The Great Song Dynasty has always emphasized the rule of officials, emphasizing the integrity of officials, and emphasizing more than any other country.

There is a saying in the law of the Great Song Dynasty that says: We are not afraid of the ugliness of our family being publicized, we are not afraid that other people will laugh at us and find out a corrupt official, what we are most afraid of is that there are many moths in our home, but we don't know anything, and even, we don't dare to speak.

The laws of the Great Song Dynasty have been supplemented and revised every year, which is the first year of Hecheng succeeded by His Majesty today, and the emperor himself added it to the law book, the purpose is to remind all officials that the management of officials and officials is a matter that must always be valued, and it is a battle that will never end.

So this case, if it can be confirmed, it will definitely be the most sensational case of the year.

The Governor's trust in his classmate began to waver after Chen Lotian and the others left, after looking through those materials.

If you only heard rumors before, the Governor actually didn't believe it, because when we were studying together, this classmate couldn't see that he was such a scheming person.

Yes, yes, people do change, but it's hard to imagine that the change is so big.

"Old Cao, is this true or false, and if it is true, what can I do?" Although it was late at night, the Governor was still frowning and thinking about the lamp in his study.

During the day in the lobby, the young man named Chen Letian talked endlessly, saying those emotional words. That Chen Letian is like a soldier from the army, that mouth is on par with the imperial history in the court, one thing is coming and turning in the past, and can be said several times without repeating the same, and he is used to laying out and arranging, and the words and sentences used are alarmist, but the people like to hear the words the most.

For example, if this continues, the Great Song Dynasty will die. For example, in this case, the state will not be a country...

These are very big words, and when you really talk about them seriously, they are not incorrect, but they are actually very meaningful. But there is another side to these words, and that is that in the eyes of the people, they are very simple.

For example, the Great Song Dynasty is about to die, and the people's understanding is that the Great Song Dynasty is about to die, rather than a combination of multiple factors that will lead to this result. The common people are interested in this conclusion, not because of the horror behind it, but because of its alarmist character. To put it simply, the people's daily life is too ordinary, so even if they listen to stories, they like to listen to the ups and downs of the peaks and loops.

In the lobby, the Governor General couldn't help but let Chen Letian say it, and Chen Letian didn't feel dry after talking for an hour or two.

The Governor was silent on the surface, but the more he listened, the more frightened he became. Those things about Cao County's order, the collusion and transactions with the Iron Head Gang are really shocking.

"It's not just about the money. Chen Letian scolded Fang Xuan: "Today, Cao Xian Ling dares to collude with bandits to seek the people's money, and tomorrow, he will dare to seek the secrets of Bazhong City with the spies of Liang State." Lord Governor, although the students are white, they still understand this simple truth. ”

As for the little episode, on the surface it seemed that the Governor was angry, but in fact the Governor did not pay attention to it at all.

It was like this at the time. When Chen Letian talked about Cao County's order, he used such an act, which is really inferior to pigs and dogs. The Governor interrupted with a frown, "Above the court, pay attention to your words." Chen Letian said that this word was used quite lightly, but then he mentioned it, I heard that Cao Xianzun and the Governor are classmates? I wonder if the Governor repeatedly interrupted the students to say what happened, did he want to shield Cao County?

Such a straightforward questioning embarrassed the Governor. Then the Governor said, "This official is serving the law in the public service, how can you be allowed to talk nonsense in this public court?

At this time, Liu Daming stood up and arched his hand and said, "I can't fight." ”

The Governor knows that Liu Daming is powerful, and he has fought many lawsuits in Shudi, and he can be said to be the first master of Shu. Although in the eyes of the people, this Liu Daming often helps the poor to fight lawsuits. But in the eyes of the government, this kind of person is specifically taking advantage of loopholes in the law that many people don't know to influence right and wrong. Seeing Liu Daming's appearance in his chest, the governor couldn't help blurting out: "Why can't you fight?"

"My lord, according to the law of the Great Song Dynasty, the person who complains shall not be punished without reason. Liu Daming said.

"The Great Song Dynasty law also stipulates that it is not allowed to insult and falsely accuse the imperial court officials, Chen Letian falsely accused the official of favoritism and cover-up, I beat him a few boards is already considered a net open, if he is really held accountable, he will be sentenced to at least three months in prison!" The Governor frowned and looked still very angry, in fact, he was not angry at all, he just wanted to kill Chen Letian, the young man's spirit, he couldn't be said by this kid that he was covering up, and he didn't act at all, isn't it too faceless.

Liu Daming arched his hand again, and said in his clothes: "Dare to ask the adult, when did Chen Letian falsely accuse the adult?"

The Governor slapped the table and said, "Didn't you hear, he said that the official was covering up for personal gain, saying that the official was covering up because he was once a classmate of Cao Xianling, isn't this a false accusation?"
