A citizen cried out in astringency: "Yes! In previous years, the flood flooded the rice fields, not to mention that there was no food to eat, everyone's homes were washed down by the flood, and the flooded were flooded.

The old man is over eighty years old now, and he is the state pastor of Yanzhou, but he can eat dregs and mildew rice, and sleep in a leaky and dilapidated house. Repair the dikes, rebuild the houses, dig ditches to release water, etc., the boss must do it himself! My lord! If you condemn him, you are condemning the sin of Yanzhou, and you are condemning millions of people in Yanzhou! ”

The scholar said with a choked voice: "We live and die with the old man, if the adult wants to be convicted, we are willing to accompany the old man to the execution ground to repay the grace of reconstruction!" ”

When he had finished speaking, he bowed down, and the people shouted in unison.

"We are willing to accompany the old man to the execution ground to repay the grace of reconstruction!!

The rain fell on the crown of the pig, and the flush on Chen Qiusheng's face spread all over his eyebrows in an instant, and his calm eyes gradually showed a cold color.

He was not deterred by the people's death, but instead pointed to the kneeling crowd and said: "There are clouds in ancient times, all good and filial piety come first, and you, as a holy people, actually want to die with Jiang Zimo, which is really a great rebellion!" ”

Rumble!

The angry thunder struck, and the thunder light flashed on Chen Qiusheng's face!

He lowered his hand and continued in a cold voice: "He Jiangzi has been guarding Yanzhou for thirty years, and you also know that he is over eighty years old, how many more thirty years are there?" Do you want him to eat dregs of bran for the rest of his life, and it rains overnight in the cracks of the house, and accompany you to the day of death?! I, Zheng Guoying, are not the only ones, and today I, Chen Qiusheng, will give you an explanation!

Where is the right eunuch of Tingwei?! ”

Chen Jinqiu hurriedly rushed out of his seat: "The humble position is here, what do you command?" ”

"Tingwei Zuo Jian was murdered by thieves last night, the cause of this case has not been ascertained, and Ben Tingwei wants to stay in Yanzhou to investigate." Chen Qiusheng pressed his hand heavily, "You bring the letter case and return to Chongdu on the same day, and hand it over to the Holy Lord." ”

Chen Jinqiu's face changed drastically, he ignored the rain flowing on his face, and said urgently: "How can your Excellency stay in Yanzhou, the letter case involves the acting state pastor, and you need to report it to the saint in person!" ”

"Wait for the new Yanzhou pastor to come here." Chen Qiusheng held his hand a little tighter, "You go back, listen, and think." ”

Chen Qiusheng's words made Chen Jinqiu understand, but he didn't dare to answer.

Before going south to Yanzhou, he hadn't heard of any new Yanzhou pastor, but listening to the meaning of Chen Qiusheng's words, this was that someone had been arranged to succeed him as Yanzhou pastor, which means that he had made up his mind to change Jiang Zimo's post when he went south this time!

Moreover, Chen Qiusheng stayed in Yanzhou, this is to take himself as a hostage again!

Chen Jinqiu held on to the drastic change in his complexion, and pretended to ask calmly: "Dare to ask my lord, who is the new Yanzhou pastor?" ”

Chen Qiusheng said expressionlessly: "Gu Yaozhi." ”

Chen Jinqiu couldn't help but change his face at this time.

He raised his head, changed his humble appearance, and shouted almost in a broken voice: "Dazai Cheng Gu Haruka?!" Big brother, are you crazy?! He is a poor man who burns Ding bowls, what qualifications does he have to be a state pastor? ! ”

Chen Jinqiu was in a hurry and didn't even call an adult, and opened his mouth to be the eldest brother.

"The Holy Lord's oracle, order Gu Yaozhi to be the pastor of Yanzhou!" Chen Qiusheng said in a deep voice, "Why do you have many mouths and tongues? ”

Chen Jinqiu trembled with anger: "Gu Yaozhi is Jiang Zimo's student, is the eldest brother not knowing me?!" What achievements have been made for the world? Besides, how can I explain to Lord Sikong?! ”

"Lord Chen!" Chen Qiusheng shook solemnly, "Don't say much, retire after receiving the order!" ”

Chen Jinqiu still wanted to speak, but found that Chen Qiusheng's eyes were full of indifference. He stared at him in surprise for a moment, trying to regain his courage to fight again, but he was still deflated by losing momentum. Then he saluted and entered the back hall angrily.

"Ladies and gentlemen, during the arrival of the new Yanzhou pastor, Lord Gu, I accompanied you, if the water comes, it will be my fault." Chen Qiusheng waved his sleeve robe and sprinkled drops of rain and dew, "If you want to kill or chop, I, Chen, will listen to it." ”

Such a free and easy demeanor made the people shout again in surprise, and the crowd was excited, as if they refused to let the officials take Jiang Zimo away.

At this time, Jiang Zimo, who witnessed Chen Qiusheng taking an example, suddenly knelt down and turned out, and Cangyin suppressed all the complaints in an instant: "My Jiang's fault has nothing to do with the people, I have received your wishes." If you still think about love, let's go back. ”

The people were red-eyed when they heard this, and many of them were howling in the rain, 'Boss, it won't work!' ’

Chen Qiusheng immediately waved his arm: "Close the case and retire." ”

The soldiers organized to drive the people out, Jiang Zimo was pressed back to the prison, and Liang Fenghou and others also followed Chen Qiusheng into the back hall.

……

In the study in the back hall, Chen Jinqiu was anxious, and when there was a sound of footsteps in the corridor, he hurriedly crossed to the door.

"Big brother!" Chen Jinqiu's face turned pale, and when he saw Chen Qiusheng, he hurriedly said, "When I was in Chongdu, Lord Sikong made it clear that what he wanted was for Jiang Zimo to bow down and be a minister, not to remove him from his position!" Why are you so indistinguishable from right and wrong, and still go to the water in the state? ”

"Jiang Zimo was originally a courtier, and it was you and Pinggang who did not distinguish between right and wrong." Chen Qiusheng's words were full of tiredness, "You and Pinggang are resigned to Sikong, but in accordance with the law, Jiang Zimo will not escape the blame, if I don't convict him, then we will be the ones who will be dismissed when we go south this time." ”

"What is dismissal? Lives are gone! Chen Jinqiu pointed to the mottled wall outside the rain, "Will these people let us go?" Will Jiang Zimo be let go? You convict Jiang Zimo of forcing them to rebel! ”

"Stupid!" Chen Qiusheng propped up his chair and sat down, "The responsibility for the letter case involves the acting state pastor and the Jiao family's royal family, who do you think are secretly plotting?" ”

Chen Jinqiu was scolded and froze in place, he frowned and said discouragedly: "Naturally, Lord Sikong, Daizhou Mu is his person." ”

Chen Qiusheng looked at him at this time, and said clearly in tone: "If Jiang Zimo does not bow his head and bow his head, I will condemn him, and the people of Yanzhou will rebel." Not sure, you and I are guilty of dereliction of duty, and returning to Chongdu is a dead end, don't you understand?

Pang Boyi wants you and me to be pawns, once the Jiang family is convicted of conspiracy, he will inevitably force the people of Yanzhou to rebel, and he can take the opportunity to ask the Holy Lord to send troops to quell the chaos! Therefore, no matter whether Jiang Zimo's crime is convicted or not, I, Chen Qiusheng, am the root cause of the rebellion due to lax investigation of the case! ”

Chen Jinqiu couldn't stand still when he heard this, his body shook, leaned heavily on the desk, and said in a daze: "So...... Sikong deliberately asked us to come here? In order to force the people to rebel? ”

"Why do you think the forbidden army in the west of the city is here? This is waiting to make a fuss, to kill you and me! Chen Qiusheng said, "When the rebellion is settled, he can send the officials he promoted to take over Yanzhou, and even the Chen family will be held accountable for your negligence." The position of Lieutenant will also be replaced by others. ”

Chen Jinqiu finally understood, but the root cause of the problem made him puzzled: "But what is all this for?" We, the Chen family, are looking for Sikong. ”

Chen Qiusheng pinched his forehead and showed a thick tiredness: "Chen's family is a chess piece in his hands. In the chess game of the world, we are just outcasts who stabilize the direction of the situation. The rabbit is dead and the dog is cooking, and you still want to work for Sikong, confused. ”

Chen Jinqiu's expression was silent when he was taught, and he said in a bitter voice: "Now Zheng Guo is the only one who is the only one, who can compete with him?" I am also for the Chen family and for the prison. Can ...... now It's over, it's all over. ”

At this moment, the entourage suddenly shouted in front of the door: "My lord, Jiang Zimo is shouting in prison to see my lord." ”

Chen Qiusheng didn't even take off his official uniform, left Chen Jinqiu, and went out of the study alone.

……

At this time, the shouts of grievances outside the prison were like a tsunami, accompanied by bursts of thunder and torrential rain, Chen Qiusheng was forcibly squeezed into the prison under the protection of the soldiers.

He didn't let the jailer follow, and walked alone in the dimly lit corridor in his wet official uniform, and when the end of the road was reached, he realized that his breathing was a little heavy for no reason.

He kneaded his forehead and waited until he was sober for a few minutes before asking, "What does Master Jiang command?" ”

Chen Qiusheng still called Lord, which did not make Jiang Zimo take off his solemn expression: "Lord Chen, you have done a big thing today. ”

Chen Qiusheng didn't speak, but looked at Jiang Zimo intently.

"In the case of letters, I never expected you to make so much preparation." Jiang Zimo pondered and lowered his head slightly, "Liu Shuoyun checked Jiao Pengxing's letter, Liang Fenghou confirmed that Ma Fu embezzled money, fake Jiang Lin took the initiative to confess his identity, and there were also trivial bystanders, and they were investigated and dealt with one by one.

A small case, which was investigated by you for an earth-shattering time, is worthy of the name of Living Yama. It's just that the old man doesn't understand, what are you doing to mobilize the people to take down Daizhou Mu Yu Chengyue? ”

"I think with the wisdom of Master Jiang, I won't be unable to understand what I'm doing." Chen Qiusheng's throat was dry, and his voice was hoarse, "The inevitable move, the inevitable trend, I can't avoid it, I can only give Zheng Guo a fierce medicine." ”

"Thick phlegm choked in your throat, your dose of fierce medicine is too heavy, and all you spit out is blood." Jiang Zimo suddenly grabbed the wooden pillar and forced him to look over, "Do you know who the master of Yu Chengyue is?" ”

Chen Qiusheng sighed: "I know." High up, Caixia lies in the sky, and the master of Yu Chengyue is Queen Jiao. ”

Dirt-covered nails scratched the wooden pillars, and a slight squeak was like the chirping of a mouse.

"You know how to take him? Jiao's position is high and powerful, the queen lingers on the dragon couch to the heavens, his brother Jiao Hongxue is in charge of the western territory, and his brother Jiao Pengxing has been stationed in Manhongguan for many years. Jiang Zimo looked at it, "Do you know that you have already pierced the sky this time?" ”

Chen Qiusheng calmed down in the questioning, and he even asked rhetorically: "My lord also knows that Jiao Hongxue is in charge of the Western Realm alone, so do you know that Lord Sikong's original intention was to let me kill you?" ”

Jiang Zimo withdrew his hand, and his momentum dissipated: "But you saved me." ”

"No, I'm saving Yanzhou." Chen Qiusheng said calmly, "Save the world." ”

The sound of breathing in the silence of the cell suddenly stopped, and the sound of water droplets could be heard clearly.

Jiang Zimo dragged the chain and made a muffled sound that was sometimes heavy and sometimes light, and he looked at Chen Qiusheng with respectful eyes: "But please give me advice." ”

Chen Qiusheng said calmly: "The Zhen family is the founding father, and his fame is remarkable, and he has been given a prince of the opposite sex, but the previous emperors have not given him a fief for many years. Do you know why? ”

Jiang Zimo smiled, this question made him feel like he had found a rare opponent.
