After Lu Jing left, Shao Wenzhao, the secretary of the Criminal Department, came again.

When he sat down, he sighed for a long time, looking preoccupied.

"Master Shao, I said what's wrong with you? Is it because Xiao Chen is not likable, or are the big guys not welcoming me back, why are they all sad? Xiao Chen said.

"Alas...... The eyes are full of sorrows, can you not worry? Shao Wenzhao said.

"No matter how worried you are, can you still worry about Lin Dongyang?" Xiao Chen said.

"Lord Xiao, I know that you have a good relationship with Lord Lin Dongyang, and you are the only one who is willing to protect him when he suffers this time." Shao Wenzhao sighed, "Are you blaming me for not being emotional?" ”

"I'm not blaming the adult, but it's just strange that the adult you have no grudge against him, why do you want to punish him to death?" Xiao Chen said.

"Hehe, I'll fix him? He is a feudal official, the governor of the second grade, I am a criminal department secretary who wants to rectify him, do you think it is so easy, besides, what am I doing to rectify him? Shao Wenzhao smiled bitterly, "You Lord Xiao know what's going on in your heart, but why blame me." ”

"At least when you, Lord Shao, are trying the case, you should be merciful, right?" Xiao Chen said, "Why did I hear that you set him a halve?" That's too much! ”

"Hehe, if we don't cut it in half, how can he save his life!" Shao Wenzhao said, "If he is directly convicted, some people will think that our trial is not true, and there will be other forks, and it will be difficult for the emperor to show mercy." ”

"Oh? So, Lord Shao, are you still merciful? Xiao Chen said.

"In the final analysis, the emperor doesn't want him to die, but he himself is bent on death." Shao Wenzhao said, "Lord Xiao, you probably don't know yet, right? He confessed to all his crimes, and even took the initiative to confess a lot of things that we didn't know. ”

"He confessed it all?" Xiao Chen frowned, "Or did you punish him?" ”

"It's useless to be punished once." Shao Wenzhao said, "We still have to talk about such a little bit of human affection, and besides, he confessed his guilt so happily, there is no need to torture, maybe he just wanted to avoid being tortured and humiliated, so he didn't resist in the slightest...... In this way, at least you can leave a decent impression for yourself and your family. ”

"Oh, I see, someone is threatening the lives of his family!" Xiao Chen heard the meaning of Shao Wenzhao's words.

"I didn't say anything." Shao Wenzhao waved his hand again and again, "You Lord Xiao can't think about it." ”

"You didn't say anything, I didn't think anything." Xiao Chen said, "According to your Lord Shao, does Lin Dongyang still have the possibility of making meritorious contributions and a chance to make a comeback?" ”

"Lord Xiao, if you just think so, you will kill him." Shao Wenzhao said, "He is now the best ending, if you want him to save his life, don't toss him anymore." ”

"Dongyang is in trouble, I can't stand by and watch, I always have to think of ways to toss him out, right? He is not young anymore, and Jinyi Weizhao Prison is not a place for people to stay, and he is afraid that he will die in it for a year and a half. Xiao Chen said.

"Not really." Shao Wenzhao said, "It's just that if he has a disease, he won't be able to protect him......"

"Thank you, Lord Shao, for your advice." Xiao Chen said busily.

"What did I tell you?" Shao Wenzhao shook his hand again and again, "Lord Xiao, if you are always so scaring people, then I don't dare to say anything." ”

"Lord Shao came to visit the little brother first, this is love, so I should thank you." Xiao Chen said with a smile. "It's too late today, I will definitely come to worship tomorrow, and there are some specialties brought from Yizhou for Lord Shao to try."

"If someone gives me something, I won't be able to accept it, but if it's a good thing from Lord Xiao, it's as much as possible, and I dare to accept as much as I want!" Shao Wenzhao said with a smile, "Lord Xiao will be made a marquis soon, and that is not a gift, but a reward!" ”

"Lord Shao, what you said, is it true that my little brother and I have sealed it, and our friendship with friends will not matter from now on?" Xiao Chen said.

"If someone else says this, I will only be polite, but when Lord Xiao says it, I will take it seriously." Shao Wenzhao said, "Lin Dongyang's person in distress, Lord Xiao, you treat him as a friend and try your best to help, not to mention my generation?" ”

"Alas...... Actually, I didn't help anything, and I would have done it anyway. Xiao Chen sighed.

But it doesn't matter whether he helps or not, the important thing is that he is willing to help when his friends are in danger.

It's worth handing over.

What's more, he's still rich.

Early the next morning, Xiao Chen began to bow back, that is, to take a formality, drink two cups of tea, and sit down for a while.

Of course, there are also some gifts, and he Xiao Chen has never been empty-handed when he goes to the door of other people's houses.

It's embarrassing for the big guy, what did you say?

We went empty-handed yesterday, and today you Lord Xiao came with a generous gift, isn't this a slap in the face.

Okay, okay, don't talk about outsiders, since you are rewarded by Lord Xiao, we don't dare not accept it, turn around and have a glass of wine, and give you a catch......

Xiao Chen came in a hurry this time, and of course he didn't have time to bring any Yizhou specialties, but he did bring a lot of gold and silver treasures, which were all captured from the Duke of Saladin.

This guy is simply a fortune boy, and the two large ships of gold, silver and jewelry he has accumulated over the years have all been 'generously' given to Xiao Chen......

After worshipping everyone, of course, I had to go to worship the prince, and go to Fengyang Wangfu first, as he expected, Li Feng, the king of Fengyang, said that he was sick, and it was estimated that he had no face to see Lao Tzu......

Love to see you, as if someone is especially willing to see you!

In the end, he went straight to the Jiangdong Palace, Li Shi heard that he was coming, and immediately came out of the courtyard to greet him, although his face was a little pale, but he did not see the sick face, it can be seen that he is not sick at all, even if he is sick, it is also a heart disease!

Xiao Chen's statement yesterday may also have a great impact on his condition, and when he saw Xiao Chen, he even showed a long-lost smile on his face.

It's just a little bit morbid.

"When I saw the emperor yesterday, what did the emperor tell you?" If it was normal, Li Shi would definitely not ask such a question, but now that he asked like this, not only did it not seem abrupt, but it showed trust and affection for Xiao Chen.

The tone is quite good.

Xiao Chen naturally didn't have to hide it, and told the truth.

"Hehe, since the founding of our Great Zhou Dynasty, there has never been a precedent for a governor to govern two counties, and the emperor has been very kind to you." Li Shi listened, groaned for a while, and then smiled slightly.

"The emperor's grace is deep, the ministers are broken to pieces, and they have done their best, and there is no way to repay them!" Xiao Chen said.

"But it's not an exaggeration to say that you are a marquis, with your merits, let's talk at home and be a prince, in fact, you should also be a prince." These are the sweet dates that he fed Xiao Chen with his own hands.

Of course, you can understand that this was deliberately leaked by Li Shi and promised to him.
