Just after noon, Shu Yan rushed to the county office of Wenshan County. Wenshan County is a gathering place for Qiang, and now it is an extraordinary period, and the important suspects of the imperial court are being imprisoned, so of course they cannot be taken lightly. The county sent troops day and night to take strict precautions, and had just returned from his own inspection in prison, when he heard that a court official was visiting, he did not dare to slack off, and hurriedly met him. The county guard is an official with a rank of 2,000 stones, and in terms of rank, Shu Yan is several levels lower than others. But Shu Yan is a court official, no matter what level of court official, no one dares to despise it in the locality.

Shu Yan and Na Jun Shou looked at each other, and suddenly their eyes were dumbfounded.

"You're the one, He-" Shu Yan remembered this person, who was a son of a family who had inspected when he was making a car order.

"My man He Hao, it's hard for Shu Ling to remember me."

"It's only been two years, and I've already signed the Taishou here?"

Shu Yan felt incredible. Because an official of this level is not only of high rank, but also has great power, it can be said that he is in charge of the army and the people when he gets off the horse. Truly speak for yourself locally. It is difficult for a person who has just entered the career to get to this position unless he has extraordinary talents, and he has not been in this position for more than five years. But this He Hao, two years ago, was still a flat-headed commoner who didn't have a starting official, why did he suddenly become too guarded?

He Hao smiled faintly: "A certain originally had no intention of being an official, just wanted to live his life, since he met Shu Ling, he began to have the intention of being an official, fortunately with his brother, he first made the master of Situ Mansion for more than a year, and then changed to Wenshan County Taishou." ”

Shu Yan knew that the He family was no less than the Shi family's top gate valve. Unless the children of such a family do not want to be officials, otherwise, as long as their abilities are not too unbearable, the officials are only in the palm of their hands, so it is no longer strange.

Anyone who goes out has to go through the authentic product. He Hao is no exception. Such a family can even be mastered by Guanlu, so why can't the authentic products be controlled? The Zhongzheng official of Hejia's native nationality did not dare to snub the He family, and when he heard that the son of the He family was going to become a leader, he directly gave him a high-grade product, so He Hao was able to rise to prominence in the officialdom.

However, strange is not strange, Shu Yan is a little scared now. At that time, when inspecting the carriages and horses, many people were offended. For example, Xun Bao's father contributed a lot when he was excluded from Luoyang. This He Hao remembered that his car was confiscated, and his four sturdy bulls were given to the poor people present by himself. Although he was willing to give it to him at that time, who knows if he regretted it in the future? Will you hate yourself even more after repenting?

However, what he didn't expect was that He Hao invited Shu Yan to the back hall to take a seat, politely served tea to each other, and asked after greeting a few words: "Luoyang is rich and prosperous, Shu Ling has done a good job in Taifu Temple, why did he come to the poor countryside of Wenshan today?" ”

At that time, he was in charge of the people with officials, but now it is a vicissitudes of life! "Actually, I'm no longer Shu Ling, but it's more appropriate to call Shu Cheng."

"Oh, what do you mean by that?"

Shu Yan told He Hao roughly from the words of Chefu Ling to Hua Liucheng, and even the words of the envoy Dawan, from beginning to end.

He Hao was also quite surprised when he heard this, but then smiled and said: "In the official career, it is inevitable that you will experience several downfalls, which is normal. Shu Ling successfully brought back the sweaty BMW this time, and made a great contribution, are you still afraid that you will not be added to the official rank after returning to the dynasty? ”

Where was Shu Yan in the mood to talk to him about this at the moment, he just smiled bitterly and counted it as a response, and then cut to the chase and asked: "He Taishou, there is really an important matter in the next place - is the family of the anti-thief Jiang Liu detained here?" ”

He Hao was a little surprised, and he didn't know what Shu Yan was asking about. "Eighteen members of his own tribe are here with me, and they have just finished their interrogation."

"Did you get any results? Were they involved in the rebellion? ”

"There are indeed two followers of Qi Wannian among his people, who have never returned. The remaining 18 were not involved in the rebellion. ”

"Since these eighteen people did not participate in the rebellion, they should be able to be released and go home?"

He Hao looked at Shu Yan with ridiculed eyes: "Isn't Shu Ling teasing me for being an official and not knowing the law?" No matter how innocent the family members are, as long as they suffer from the sin, they will all be executed. ”

"That'...... How to deal with it? ”

"Wait for Jiang Liu to escort Luoyang and the case is decided, and he will be executed immediately."

Expected answer. This kind of rebellion is basically unchanged. But Shu Yan is trying his best to save it.

"Human lives are at stake, let alone eighteen people! I wonder if He Taishou can listen to me? ”

"Shu Ling, please speak."

"The crime of rebellion is indeed subject to joint sitting, this is the law of the court, and no one has the right to change it. But there are exceptions. And there is no better chance of salvaging the situation and bringing these people back to life than amnesty. ”

"Amnesty?"

Amnesty is an edict issued by the emperor to pardon some criminals whenever there is a major celebration in the imperial court. It means that there is a happy event in my family, and the joy of the royal family is the joy of the world, and everyone is happy, and the whole world celebrates together, and the emperor's grace is shared together.

But He Hao has something to say: "The amnesty mentioned by Shu Ling has indeed pardoned many people in history, but crimes like this kind of rebellion are rarely within the pardon." Besides, all amnesties happen once in a few years, even a dozen years, or even decades, so how can there be any reason not to execute a prisoner just to wait for an amnesty? ”

"Repeat offenders who commit rebellion are certainly not pardoned under any circumstances, but not their innocent relatives. When it comes to the timing of the amnesty, I guess it won't take much longer. The great joy of the country is the new emperor's accession to the throne, in addition to the new emperor's accession to the throne, that is, the establishment of the crown prince and the queen. Now that the crown prince has been killed by witches and Queen Jia has been abolished, it is indispensable to re-canonize. There will be such two great events in the imperial court, and you are still worried that the imperial court will not amnesty the world? As for the time of the amnesty, and the fact that the relatives who have been conspired with the thieves are not among the pardons, that is their fate, and there is nothing we can do about it. Just ask He Taishou to stay for them for a few days, which is the virtue of a good life. ”

He Hao knew that Shu Yan was a person who loved the people, and thinking about the people was his consistent style. But this time Qi Wannian rebelled, and there were many people who were connected by Zhulian, so he couldn't come to my Wenshan County specifically to save Jiang Liu's relatives who were not related to the wind, horses, and cattle, right? Inexplicable!

"We don't have any other rights, and we can still do it if we delay for a few more days. It's just that I don't know why Shu Ling is so concerned about this matter? ”

"Because...... One of my deceased people is also being detained in your place. ”

"How can the Jiang Liu family have your old man? Who is he? ”

"It's the order of delicacies, Jiang Xiaomo."

"Treasure Ling Jiang Xiaomo?" He Hao thought for a while, "I do have Jiang Xiaomo here, but she is a woman." ”

"Don't believe it, Jiang Xiaomo's order to make a woman disguised as a man is actually a woman herself."

He Hao was stunned: "It's nothing if I believe it or not, it's just that Jiang Xiaomo is different from others and needs to be dealt with separately." ”

Shu Yan was overjoyed: "Is it because she is a woman, there is no reason to rebel, and she can be lightly dismissed?" ”

He Hao kept shaking his head a few times: "Quite the opposite." Everyone else has evidence that they did not participate in the rebellion, but Jiang Xiaomo, who has been uncertain and has unknown motives, is the first major offender among these eighteen people. Those 17 people only need to be detained locally, but Jiang Xiaomo needs to be escorted to Luoyang and tried by the imperial court together with Jiang Liu and others. ”

"Why is she uncertain and unmotivated? Over the years, she has been making delicacies in the palace, and she has never left Luoyang for half a step, and later went to Dawan with me, does she want to rebel? ”

"This, I believe what Shu Ling said, but I believe it's useless, after you return to Luoyang, you have to prove your innocence to the imperial court."

"Then, when will you leave for escort?"

"Tomorrow."

"Can I visit her in prison?"

"According to the law, this kind of criminal is not allowed to be visited, but Shu Ling is a righteous man, I can't help with anything else, and I still have this right."

Originally, Shu Yan was worried that He Hao would declare his personal vendetta. Unexpectedly, He Hao not only did not resent, but admired Shu Yan more and more, and opened the door to convenience within his own power. Shu Yan immediately thanked He Hao and couldn't wait to go to prison.

My heart was extremely worried, my head was confused, and my steps were fast, but it was like stepping on the sand. Shu Yan has not never seen the appearance of prisoners in prison: they are withered, their hair is scattered, their faces are pale, their eyes are dull, and their dirty, smelly and tattered clothes are stained with blood......

The imaginary images really appeared on the person in front of him. This is the first time Shu Yan has seen Xiao Mo's daughter's true face, but he didn't expect it to be such a tragic appearance!

Shu Yan glared at He Hao angrily, and He Hao was so frightened that he didn't dare to raise his eyes.

Shu ......: "I'm not dreaming, right?" Xiao Mo's misty eyes caught a glimpse of Shu Yan, and he couldn't believe his eyes. This is the figure that I have hoped for 10,000 times in my heart, and now it really appears in front of me, surprise, joy, grievance, excitement, and pain burst out at the same time, and I can't help but want to call. But the three words "Brother Shu", which used to be so smooth, so natural, and so kind, are now stubbornly unable to be exported.

"Xiao Mo, I'm late!"

Shu Yan couldn't hold back anymore and cried directly. Aside from the loss of his loved ones, this was the first time he had cried, a heart-wrenching cry.

"Open the cell door." Shu Yan said to He Hao almost commandingly.

"This ......" He Hao was very embarrassed.

Fellons are not allowed to open the prison door for visitation. However, He Hao hesitated for a moment, but still complied with Shu Yan.

Shu Yan knelt down and threw himself in front of Xiao Mo, looking at the blood marks on her body with regret. Back then, I inadvertently patted her on the shoulder, and she looked unbearable, how could she withstand such torture now! I turned around and wanted to question He Hao, but found that He Hao had already slipped away.

Turning his head, the fire-breathing eyes instantly turned to tenderness and pity for the person in front of him. What a longing face, what a familiar person, but the other party's eyes that are constantly flowing with tears are deliberately avoiding themselves, and they never look at themselves.
