When the wine and food were served, Bai Yutian picked up the wine glass, respectfully saluted Xue Zhutou, and the shopkeeper Qian Desheng accompanied him.

Xue Zhutou drank the wine, ate two chopsticks dishes, put down the chopsticks, and asked Bai Yutian: "Brother Bai, there is something that I want to ask as an elder brother, and I hope that my brother will answer one or two truthfully." ”

Bai Yutian had already filled the wine glass with wine, and with Qian Desheng, he toasted Xue Zhu's first glass, and said with a smile: "Brother Xue, if you can trust the younger brother, just ask." The younger brother must know everything and say everything. ”

Xue Zhutou drank the wine in the cup and said: "You just said that you can help the elder brother solve this case, I don't know if you said it casually in a hurry, or if you really have some clues in hand, just a little bit to touch the melon?" ”

Bai Yutian filled the three wine glasses and replied in a good voice: "Dare to ask Brother Xue, if the junior brother can really help you solve this case, I don't know what kind of benefits can be brought to Brother Xue, and what kind of disadvantages can be brought to the younger brother?" Brother Xue, please speak clearly. ”

Xue Zhutou raised the wine glass and saluted Bai Yutian and Qian Desheng, drank the wine in the cup, looked at the two of them again, and said openly: "Don't hide it from Brother Bai, the elder brother has been mixed in the capital for decades, and he is still a dispensable catcher." If it weren't for Fan Xiwen Fan (Fan Zhongyan) a few years ago, he was transferred back to Beijing and sentenced to the national prison because of his meritorious work in controlling the water in Suzhou. said that I worked hard and complained, I didn't have any credit, I worked hard a lot, and I was specially promoted, I'm afraid that I am still an unknown little catcher. If you can help me solve the case of the theft of the jade seal, even if the elder brother is not promoted in the future, the position of the chief catcher must still be able to sit firmly. As for the harm that will be brought to you, there is no harm in it. ”

Bai Yutian filled the wine glasses of the three of them, got up and saluted Xue Zhutou, drank the wine in the cup, and said warmly: "Don't hide it from Brother Xue, I did see the thief who stole the jade seal last night, and I chased all the way." If Brother Xue can help me rescue those friends in the prison, or tell me who to find to rescue my friends, the younger brother is willing to help Brother Xue recover the jade seal, so that Brother Xue can achieve this great achievement. ”

Xue Zhutou got up with a wine glass: "Brother Bai, can you take this seriously?" ”

Bai Yutian clasped his fists and said: "If there is half a lie, five thunders will hit the top." ”

Xue Zhutou drank the wine in the cup and said with a smile: "Sit, Brother Bai." After eating this meal, come with me to meet Lord Fu Yin. ”

The two sat down, and the three of them drank happily, and soon they were like good friends, talking freely, and the wine was mellow and fragrant.

Full of wine and food, the three of them went downstairs, Bai Yutian went to the counter to settle the account, went out of the restaurant, said goodbye to the shopkeeper Qian Desheng, followed behind Xue Zhutou, walked to Kaifeng Mansion, and went to meet Lord Yin.

Entering the mansion, Lord Yin of the mansion met Bai Yutian in his lounge because of Xue Zhutou's affection.

Bai Yutian quickly stepped forward, bowed and bowed: "Grass people Bai Yutian, meet your lord, your lord is blessed with Jin'an." ”

Seeing that Bai Yutian was really extraordinary, Lord Yin must have been from a good background, and said softly: "Get up and speak." ”

Bai Yutian got up, bowed down and said, "Thank you, sir!" ”

Lord Yin said: "I heard Xue Zhutou say, those people in the Longwei Dart Bureau are your friends?" ”

Bai Yutian replied: "Lord Hui is not only a friend, but also a friend of life and death. ”

Lord Fu Yin asked softly, "Do you want to rescue them this time, or do you want to enforce their crimes?" ”

Bai Yutian replied: "If the adults think that they are innocent, the grass people are willing to assist Xue Zhutou in recovering the stolen jade seals, hoping that the adults can see the feelings of the 'Zhengda Guangming' plaque on the hall of the government and acquit them." If the adults do not have the right to acquit them, I hope that the adults will tell the grass people who is trying to kill them. As the saying goes, even if the grass people can't save their lives, they will know who to avenge in the future in order to have peace of mind. ”

Lord Fu Yin stood up and shouted angrily: "Boldly Diao Min, you and thieves steal the jade seal, and the crime is extremely evil. I dare to make a big statement in front of this house, I really think that there are no samurai in the official family, and I can't take you. ”

Bai Yutian sneered: "My lord, although the grass people are from a humble background, they are still virtuous, and they never steal, commit adultery, or plunder. If you want to add to their crimes, as long as the grass people are still alive, they must also cry out and fight to the end. Not to mention a Kaifeng Mansion, it is the palace inside, what are the grass people afraid of! ”

Lord Fu Yin said: "Xue Zhutou, what are you doing in a daze, don't take it down." ”

Xue Zhu bowed his head and said: "My lord, you have always been diligent in government and love the people, if your reputation is damaged because of one or two angry words, it is not worth it." Bai Gongzi was only imprisoned because dozens of friends were in prison, and he was eager to save people, so he was confused for a while, and his words were inconsiderate. The most important thing at the moment is to recover the stolen jade seal and dispel His Majesty's thunderous anger. I implore the adults to calm their anger and let Bai Gongzi assist the government in recovering the jade seal and atone for the crime. As soon as the words fell, he threw his eyes at Bai Yutian.

Bai Yutian received it, bowed down and apologized: "The grass people have a mistake in their words, it is extremely undeserved, I hope that the adults have a large number of Wang Han." ”

Lord Yin thought that the official authority was not as important as recovering the jade seal, so he temporarily suppressed the anger of the thunder, walked down the steps, sat back on the big chair, and said softly: "The Holy Upper Limit will recover the jade seal within ten days, are you sure?" ”

Bai Yutian bowed down and said, "My lord, the grass people tell the truth, and they are sure to recover the jade seal." But ......"

Xue Zhutou answered on the side: "Bai Gongzi, adults have always been... The top is worthy of the Son of Heaven, and the bottom is worthy of Li Shu, honest and honest. If you have something to say, you don't have to say it. ”

Lord Fu Yin: "But what? Get up and speak. ”

Bai Yutian bowed to the ground: "My lord, who wants to harm the Longwei Dart Bureau, who can save the lives of the people in the Longwei Dart Bureau?" Please make it clear to the adults that the grass people are grateful. ”

Lord Fu Yin was taken aback, and said in a lost voice: "How do you know that someone wants to harm the lives of the people in the Longwei Dart Bureau?" ”

Bai Yutian said: "Lord Hui, Quzhou Mansion dares to let the Longwei Dart Bureau escort Guanyin into Beijing, such a reputation is not something that a thief can hold." Moreover, stealing the jade seal is useless in the Longwei Dart Bureau. The adult has no physical evidence, and the other has no witness, but without thinking, he arrested all the people in the Longwei Dart Bureau, presumably the person who came to make a false accusation has a strong backing behind him, and the adult is the Kaifeng Mansion Yin Zi can not afford to provoke. ”

Xue Zhutou saw Lord Yin looking at him, and hurriedly said: "My lord, this is not what I said, it was Bai Gongzi who had doubts in his heart and came up with a reverie out of thin air. Just because the Longwei Dart Bureau escorted Guanyin into Beijing, there were many robberies along the way, and the lineup was so big that it was appalling. ”

"Get up and speak." Seeing that people should not be fooled, Lord Fu Yin whispered: "What kind of word is the superposition of three words?" ”

Bai Yutian got up and replied, "A pin." ”

Lord Fu Yin then asked, "What about the superposition of the two words?" ”

Bai Yutian said: "A Lu character." ”

Lord Fu Yin said softly: "Chu and Han are fighting each other, like a river. Do it yourself. ”

Bai Yutian bowed down: "Thank you, my lord!" Then he asked, "My lord, I don't know who Lu Xiang is?" ”

Fu Yin Daren: "Lu Xiang, the word Tanfu, a native of Shouzhou, Huainan County, his ancestral home is Laizhou, Jingdong Road, the nephew of the prince and the prince Lu Mengzheng, and the son of Dali Temple Cheng Lu Mengheng." In the third year of Xianping, Jin Shi and the first, started as a military magistrate in Jiangzhou, and moved to Kaifeng Mansion in Langzhongquan. Today, the saint is enthroned, and he gives the right to consult the doctor, give the matter, and participate in the governor's affairs. In the sixth year of Tiansheng, he worshiped Tongping Zhangshi and Jixian Hall scholars and became prime ministers. In the second year of Mingdao, he resigned because of the words of Empress Guo, and was reinstated soon. In the second year of Jing You, he moved to the right servant and was canonized as the Duke of Shenguo. In the fourth year of Jing You, because of a dispute with the left servant to shoot the king, he was guilty of quitting. In the first year of Kangding, he paid homage to the prime minister again. ”

Bai Yutian didn't understand political affairs, and Lord Fu Yin said it quickly, as if the left ear went in and the right ear went out, leaving nothing at all, and then asked, "What kind of person is Lu Xiang?" What are the achievements? ”

Fu Yin said: "Since the beginning of the establishment, the Queen Mother has been in the dynasty for more than ten years, inside and outside, the world is Yanran, and Lu Xiang's achievements are many." Northwest Yuan Hao anti, the Quartet did not use soldiers for a long time, the division was defeated, and a famous minister was selected for a while, and he passed through the Western Xia, which was quite dependent on Lu Xiang's plan. Lu is the longest ruler of the country, although the number is slandered by the speakers, the emperor's family is not weakened. However, the rebuke will be reused and reused, and it will not be destroyed. It is in the world, bending and stretching, and there is manipulation. ”

Bai Yutian asked, "My lord, such a person can be described as a good look!" Why are you afraid? ”

Lord Fu Yin smiled slightly, and whispered, "How can you be afraid!" Lu Xiang is clever and adaptable. ”

Bai Yutian asked, "How can you see it?" ”

Fu Yin Dadao: "During the Jingyou period, Li Gu and Lu Tanfu were the same prime ministers, Li Xiang once planned things, and Lu Xiang felt that he was inferior to him. Someone said to Lu Xiang: 'Li Zhidong thinks more about things than his father. Lu Xiang told Li Xiang: "Ling Lang Zhidong's intelligence can be used well." Then the Son of Heaven ordered Li Zhidong to sentence the two Zhejiang, and Li Xiang's father and son were very happy. After Li Zhidong took office, he could no longer remind his father Li Xiang of everything, Li Xiang was old and forgetful, and there were always mistakes in planning, and he was removed from the post of prime minister. Only then did Li Xiang realize that he had fallen for Lu Xiang's scheme. ”

Bai Yutian heard this, and his good mood suddenly plummeted, and he had a bitter face. I thought to myself, "How am I going to deal with such a person?" ”

Lord Fu Yin should have seen Bai Yutian's thoughts, and said softly: "Bai Gongzi, in front of such a character, those who go along with it prosper, and those who go against it die, you have to think about it." ”

Bai Yutian thanked him: "Thank you for the hint!" The grass people took their leave. ”

Lord Yin said: "The matter of the jade seal, Bai Gongzi must not forget." ”

Bai Yutian bowed his head again and said: "Don't worry, my lord, dozens of friends of the grass people are all guests in Kaifeng Mansion, how dare the grass people forget each other." ”

When Lord Yin heard this, he felt very reasonable, so he asked Xue Zhutou to send Bai Yutian out of the mansion.

[Kaifeng Mansion is the administrative and judicial office of the officials of Kyoto in the Northern Song Dynasty, and is known as the capital of the world. According to historical records, the Northern Song Dynasty from the first year of Taizu Jianlong (960) to the second year of Qinzong Jingkang (1127), after 9 emperors, lasted 167 years, a total of 183 people served as the governor of Kaifeng. 】
