The mansion of Song Hu, the political envoy of Xiliang Prefecture, covers a vast area, has many servants, and is very lively on weekdays. Because the new policy no longer had permanent governors and governors, although there were nominally three divisions in a state, the political envoy was higher than the other envoys and commanders, so it became the head of a state in substance. There are not many people who burn cold stoves, but there are many people who burn hot stoves, since the beginning of autumn, the Song Mansion has been full of guests, which is in response to the saying that the rich have distant relatives in the deep mountains.

Although Song Hu was born in a family, he was not a child of Anointing Liang who did not know the suffering of the people, and he also used to fight with a sword to do righteous deeds when he was traveling to study in his early years, but later he entered the officialdom when he was older and understood the truth of being with light and dust, so he lost his youthful spirit in his early years. Song Hu's wife died early, leaving only a twelve-year-old daughter, named Song Qing'er, after Song Hu was appointed as the political envoy of Xiliang Prefecture, he took his only daughter to the Zhongdu palace to thank him, the gentle and lovely Song Qing'er was very loved by Lin Yinping, and almost recognized as a righteous daughter. And as Song Qing'er's eyebrows and eyes opened, it can already be seen that it is a rare beauty embryo, and there are countless people who want to marry Song Bu's political envoy, not to mention the official position of Lord Song, just say that this Song girl is in the eyes of the princess, so how bad can it be?

For the people who came to propose marriage, Song Hu politely refused, only saying that he was reluctant to have children and wanted to stay for a few more years. However, it has been rumored recently that the reason why the princess did not recognize Song Qing'er as a righteous daughter was actually because the prince wanted to give the Song family girl to the little prince Xiao Jin. Many people who are resentful and resentful because they can't get married, and they are afraid of snatching their younger brother and daughter-in-law with the prince, isn't it a long life? At the same time, they suddenly realized, no wonder you Song Lao'er don't want to get married, it turns out that you want to send your daughter to the branch as a phoenix!

The little prince Xiao Jin, his father is Xiao Lie, the prime minister of Anping County, his mother is Princess Ling'an, his brother is the king of the northwest and the grassland, and his sister-in-law is the princess of the grassland Lin family.

Today, the Song Mansion was a rare closed-door guest, and Song Hu sat alone in the study, holding a secret letter that had just been sent in his hand, with an expressionless face. It is said that he Song Hu may become the father-in-law of the little prince, but today he was forced into a dilemma by Xiao Jin, and it has been half a month since Xiao Jin came to Xiliangzhou, but there is still no trace of Xiao Jin, how can he feel at ease, it can be said that he has been sighing all night, and after receiving this secret letter, it is even worse, so that he doesn't know what to do.

While Song Hu was pondering, a muffled snort suddenly came from the courtyard outside the door, Song Hu's face changed suddenly, as the political envoy of Xiliang Prefecture, there were also several invited cultivators under him, and at this time, this muffled snort was clearly the voice of the person with the highest cultivation.

Song Hu's face changed, but in the end, he reluctantly stood up and walked out of the study. There was an old man and a young man in the courtyard, and the cultivators he had invited were lying on the ground around him who didn't know whether they were alive or dead. When he saw the young man, his heart sank, but when he saw his daughter timidly appear behind the young man, Song Buzheng didn't know whether to be happy or sad in his heart.

The young man in a brocade robe and jade belt, wearing a small gold crown on his head, and his indescribable extravagance is the little prince Xiao Jin. And the old Taoist beside Xiao Jin, dressed in a white Taoist robe, with fluttering sleeves and fairy wind bones, is one of the eight real people that the rumored prince brought back from the Taoist Sect.

Xiao Jin put his hands behind his back and said to Song Hu: "Xiao didn't come to the door today, and he was an uninvited villain, and I hope Lord Song will forgive me." ”

Song Hu hurriedly smiled and said: "The governor came to the cold house, and the cold house was full of brilliance, which is really serious. Let's talk in the room. ”

Xiao Jin didn't shirk either, and as Song Hu walked into the side hall on the side of the study, and after taking a seat, Xiao Jin chuckled: "This girl is Lord Song's daughter, right? ”

Song Qing'er's face on the side turned red, put down the tea in his hand, and fled.

Song Hu got up and poured tea and water for Xiao Jin personally, the number of courtesies was very sufficient, and his face had gradually returned to calm.

Even if the person in front of him is the little prince who has mastered his life and death, honor and disgrace, and is the governor of Xiliang personally appointed by the king of the northwest.

Xiao Jin took the teacup and said calmly: "In the past ten days, I have walked around Xiliangzhou, almost walked through the Xiliang Corridor and the Hexi Plain, these two places have always been known as the south of the Yangtze River, and they are the granaries of the northwest. ”

Song Hu said in a deep voice: "The duty of the subordinate is not to be contemptuous. ”

Xiao Jin took a sip of tea, and said in a flat tone: "I don't dare to be contemptuous, Lord Song's concentration of the eight winds is commendable, does it have to be that the official has to put out what he has seen along the way, one by one, so that Lord Song will know what his duty is?"

Song Hu said calmly: "Since the adults already have real evidence, why bother talking nonsense with Song Hu, why don't you ask someone to take down Song Hu, so that you can go to the prince to ask for credit." ”

Xiao Jin's cultivation is not to say, but the city government is not shallow, at this time, I don't see half of the annoyance, Yun Danfeng smiled lightly: "Don't worry, you and I both know that the eldest brother will march into Shuzhou, and Xiliangzhou can't be messed up, so this official won't and can't do anything to you." ”

"This official is here just to ask Lord Song for a favor. ”

Song Hu's left hand on his lap shook slightly, but his face did not move at all, and he still said calmly: "Lord Governor, please speak." ”

Xiao Jin put down the teacup in his hand and said: "This official wants to invite the officials of Xiliang Prefecture, all those who are above the seventh grade, and there are no official generals, must come, and those who do not come will be punished according to contempt for the officials." ”

Song Hu's face was cloudy.

The next day, Xiao Jin, the governor of Xiliang, who had been missing for a long time, officially appeared in Xiliangzhou, and hosted a banquet for officials above the seventh grade in Xiliangzhou in the former governor's palace in Dunhuang City.

Inside the hall.

Xiao Jin sat on the main seat, looked around, raised his wine glass, and said, "Ladies and gentlemen, the reason why this official invited you here today is actually for one thing, food. ”

"Presumably everyone here also knows that the prince of the northwest led an army of 100,000 to Shuzhou to quell the chaos, but the grain in the official warehouses in various places, Hugh said that it was to support my northwest army, that is, it was a little difficult to maintain a local state, Xiliangzhou is the granary of the northwest, so the prince sent this official to Xiliangzhou. ”

While speaking, Xiao Jin got up from his position, walked to the center of the hall with a wine glass, and said: "Since being appointed by the prince as the governor of Xiliang Prefecture, Xiao Jin does not dare to say that he has been lamenting all night, but he is also panicked, lest the entrustment will not work, and he will be worthy of the prince's ardent expectations, so I also want to ask you to help Xiao Jin with the wine today, but I don't know what you think?"

Everyone in the hall looked at each other in pairs, not knowing what to say.

Xiao Jin picked up a wine jug, came to Song Hu, and said with a faint smile: "Today, Xiao Jin will give you a glass first, Lord Song, let's start with you, please." ”

Song Hu's face changed, and looking at Xiao Jin, who was not smiling in front of him, he could only raise the wine glass in his hand.

Xiao Jin personally poured it for Song Hu, then watched him drink it all, and chuckled: "Okay." ”

Then, Xiao Jin held the wine jug and walked to Huangliangmi and Lin Dai, who were seated behind Song Lake.

After Xiao Jin toasted, he handed the wine jug in his hand to an accompanying eagle guard, and said, "I don't know if you have noticed that there is one less adult here today." ”

Xiao Jin's face changed suddenly, and he said coldly: "Bring that person up." ”

The two eagle guards escorted an official in a crimson official robe into the hall and pressed the man to his knees in front of Xiao Jin.

The man kowtowed and said, "Xiaguan Xiliang transferred the envoy Chi Ming to meet the governor and the little prince." ”

Xiao Jin looked down at this person, and said: "Master Chi, you are so bold, so many disaster victims, every day is starving, every day is dying, you are the northwest official warehouse transfer envoy, you don't even blink an eye, you should be greedy, you shouldn't be greedy, you tell the official, how much grain is there in the official warehouse in Xiliang Prefecture, can there be 10,000 stones?"

Chi Ming kowtowed fiercely, and his head was soon blood-red, "Little Wangye, Little Wangye, wronged, wronged, wronged, the matter of the official warehouse is very important, how can it be that a small transfer of a small official can be emptied, this matter ...... At this time, it was not the official who did it......"

Chi Ming's voice stopped abruptly, and many Xiliang Prefecture officials present suddenly widened their eyes, and the little prince, who was no more than as tall as a young man, seemed to be impatient with Chi Ming's noise, and directly stepped on his head to pieces.

Xiao Jin, whose boots were full of red and white things, rubbed the soles of his shoes on the ground carelessly, then looked at Song Hu, and said with a flat smile: "Lord Song, do you think Chi Ming should be disposed of?"

Song Hu hurriedly got up from the seat, bent down and whispered, "Of course it should be disposed of." ”

Xiao Jin walked to his side, patted Song Hu, who was bent over, and said, "Lord Song, you are a person who understands the general situation, and now that the national crisis is at hand, shouldn't you also set an example for all the adults here?"

Song Hu was still bent over, "Please also ask the governor to make it clear." ”

Xiao Jin took out a dossier from his sleeve and said: "This is Chi Ming's confession, this official is not the one who kills indiscriminately, but if you rely on this confession to state the matter, I'm afraid that everyone here will have to go to the guillotine." ”

There was silence in the hall, and the pins could be heard.

Xiao Jin casually crushed this dossier into powder, and said calmly: "Before coming to Xiliangzhou, this official made a military order in front of the prince, if the errand is broken, I am willing to do it by military law." ”

Xiao Jin looked around at everyone in the hall and said with a smile: "Therefore, in order to keep the official hat on the head of this official, I also want to ask all the adults to help and tide over the difficulties with this official." ”

"But if anyone dares to disobey the yang and the yin, they are obsessed and insist on going against the official. Xiao Jin took off the golden crown on his head, threw it on the ground, and said coldly: "Then this official can't be better, he and his family, don't even think about running." ”

Xiao Yu walked out of the hall, leaving a string of bloody footprints, "This official does what he says." ”
