"How's it going?" Cui Yi walked out of the military department and greeted Minghuiguang.

Minghui Guang dusted off his sleeves and said, "I didn't expect that Chen Dang would dare to coerce Su Xiang and make a big fuss in the hall." Fortunately, the Hunan people were not strong-willed, and they were slipped out by Su Xiang, and I heard that they had already been punished. ”

"This is a good opportunity...... Cui Yi turned around and muttered, "Originally, it was just a discussion of official business, and the emperor would not necessarily interfere; But now that the Hunan people have written to be convicted, he must make a verdict. If the Song Governor can be allowed to move in the Inner Governor's Province, it may be able to turn the situation around. ”

"Beware of deception," Wan Yuzhi reminded beside him, "Guoxiang people are the most shrewd, how can they make mistakes easily?" ”

"It's too bold to deceive such a thing. And what can you deceive us? Cui Yi smiled lightly, "I just want to give Mr. Shen a little benefit, even if outsiders know about it, who dares to say more?" ”

At this time, Captain Song sent soldiers to report that "Captain Du has brought the letter to Chief Shen, and he accepted the money and responded with kind words." ”

After hearing this, everyone thought that it was a godsend, and they attached themselves to Cui Yi. So he made a plan, and on the one hand, he went to ask Ye Yongjia for instructions, and on the other hand, he prepared silver taels to avoid wasting time; He also wrote to the guilty to put pressure on the emperor.

Zeng Liang has been actually taken care of by the Ye Party since he returned to his hometown, and Chen Dang did not rescue him at the beginning and abandoned him as he did, so he became more and more resentful of that group of Qingliu, and he tossed and turned all night, thinking about nothing more than one thing: how to establish a meritorious service for the Ye Party and make a comeback.

He convened his relatives to discuss together, and his son seemed to be a little thoughtful, and first asked: "On the day of my father's resignation, what do you have to do with outsiders?" Do you remember? ”

Zeng Liang rolled his eyes and pinched off a mustache fiercely: "How can you forget this!" Su Zongshan did not tell me the truth, but sent someone first and took all the letters that had been exchanged with him. I hated that I didn't notice it, otherwise I would have stayed until today, and I would have given him a color! ”

Therefore, his son pushed the boat down the river and persuaded: "Since this is the case, why not send someone to the Suzhou Mansion with humble courtesy?" If the letters are still there, they can be returned; If it has been burned, it is not a big problem, you can ask him to revise a letter to explain the reason for the matter, which is enough to be used as evidence and handed over to the Ye Party. ”

Zeng Liang groaned: "It can be the best...... But I don't know what kind of words are needed to speak? ”

His son said deeply: "Father, don't worry, my son has been thinking about you for two days and two nights, and it can be said that he has a bamboo in his chest." However, there are many people in the house, and it is difficult to say everything, so the father just asked the child to do it. ”

Zeng Liang saw that he was not timid, so he was convinced and did it on his own.

At dawn the next day, an old servant stepped on a horse and prepared to set off from Zeng's house. He changed into a dirty outfit, and his beard was messy, and he walked alone for three or four days without anyone following him, and then he arrived in the capital.

At this time, it was evening, Su Zongshan retired and returned home, still thinking about the party dispute, and unconsciously walked up to the guest hall, but saw an old man in ragged clothes in the distance, he was stunned, and asked the left and right: "Who is that?" ”

When the old man heard this, he quickly turned around and knelt on the ground and begged: "I want to remember the old days, save my master's life!" ”

"Who is your master?" Su Zongshan looked at him as if he was a little familiar, and he did not hesitate to help him up himself.

"The master of my family is Zeng Hubu. Since he was dismissed, he was angry, his temperament became more and more irritable, and he beat or scolded him if he was not satisfied, because he was not very harmonious with the local state officials, and his nephew accused him of hiding the land in order to rob the property, and the government sent troops to investigate, and also arrested the son. The lord was afraid that once the case was decided, the son would not be able to put it back, so he thought of you in a hurry, and asked me to sell the treasures at home and send them all here, looking forward to helping. With that, he untied the cloth bag at his feet, and it was indeed full of gold and silver.

"And how do I save him?" Su Zongshan was a little moved, and then asked.

"Didn't you leave your correspondence with my master? There are a few letters among them, which show that the lord annexed the private land back then, and it was out of your will. Give it back to us so that the officials know that you have your back. ”

A little cold sweat broke out on Su Zongshan's forehead, and he said hesitantly: "It's not a secret, there was a lot of discussion at that time, and I really had no choice but to burn all the letters...... Why don't you write one now? ”

The old man snorted twice: "I'm afraid it's difficult." In order to win the trust of the state capital, Master Zeng said that he had a letter and sent me to get it, and if they couldn't see it, they would definitely point it out of vain. After all, this case is confirmed, and if you don't show a certain attitude, they will not be afraid. ”

Su Zong listened well, locked his eyebrows, and secretly thought: "This matter is extremely strange, he seems to be trying to force me to write about those old things, is it a temptation?" Or do you want to take my handle? After all, these ugly things also involve him, and he will not expose them. It's better to allow it for the time being, and it's better to have more than one thing. ’

Then he looked up and said to the old man: "Xiangzhi has been with me for many years, and now I am in great trouble, how can I not save it?" I simply wrote down all these old things on paper and made it clear to them: If you want to move Zeng Liang, you must first get me, the prime minister, down! ”

"Hard! In this case, who would dare to disagree! The old servant smiled happily, and complimented him exaggeratedly, and when he had finished writing the letter, he could not wait to leave the prime minister's mansion, thinking only in his heart what kind of reward he would receive from his master, so he was so proud that he didn't even care about the road under his feet, who would have wanted to hit a man head-on on his shoulder blades, and a trace of pain pulled him back to reality.

"What the hell are you doing!" The visitor clasped his shoulders and roared.

The old servant hurriedly accompanied: "The old man is a servant in the mansion of Zeng Liang Zeng, and he is rude and offended. ”

"Are you from Zeng Liang?" The man looked up and down, sneered, and said, "What? It's been so many days since Lord Zeng dismissed his office, and he is still concerned about political affairs? ”

The old servant's sense was quite keen, and he grabbed him and asked, "What kind of political affairs?" ”

"Hey, apart from Chen Ye's 'fighting method', what else can happen? Just now, I made a big fuss again, and I almost trapped the prime minister in the capital...... No, the two of them went to the book to be punished. ”

"Huh?" The old servant's heart trembled, and he thought to himself, 'The situation has developed to this point, if I go back to resume my life, and delay it for a few more days, will I miss a big thing!' According to the character of the master, when the time comes, not only will it be useless, but it will become a big crime, and thirty boards will be suffered. It's better to ......'

He was in a hurry and couldn't care about anything, so he immediately widened his eyes, blocked the man's way, and begged: "This official, can you take me to the Yushitai?" I have urgent physical evidence to give! Only...... Just look at the face of this letter! ”
