After talking about the matter of settling the guarantee, Li Xianling investigated Xu He's Jingyi article again.

Xu He and Xie Liangcai learned from each other during this time, and the article has improved a lot compared to before.

In particular, he has a deeper and more proficient understanding of some of the practices of Baguwen.

Xie Kun sighed: "With your current level of writing, even if you are not the head of the county test, the road test is a must!" ”

Li Xianling, as a teacher, of course, still has to take the shelf, he said to Xu He with a tiger face: "You thank Uncle Xie to make you feel relieved, but as a teacher, you feel that your understanding of the scriptures and meanings is still a little shallow, and you can't relax your requirements for yourself because of one or two words of praise." ”

Xie Kun is a free-spirited celebrity, and when he heard his friend pretending, his eyes were about to roll to the sky.

Fortunately, Xu He, who was born in a later life, was very cautious in what he said and did, just looking at his expression, he knew that he did not regard the teacher's words as clichés and empty words, and obviously listened to them.

Li Zhijie rarely saw a young man like him so old, and he loved this disciple even more in his heart.

After talking about Xu He, Li Zhijie turned his head to Xie Kun and said, "Brother Ziyu, today I came to Hailing to patrol the salt imperial history, mainly to thoroughly investigate the matter of the roots. Could it be that this matter is really related to Xue Tongzhi? ”

Xie Kun sneered: "The prefect of Yangzhou is your senior brother, your teachers are all the first assistant Qin Yan, and the two Huai patrol salt imperial history is the envoy of the Metropolitan Inspection Academy, and the Metropolitan Inspection Institute is the territory of the second auxiliary Xia Yangqiu, and Xia Yangqiu is Xue Tongzhi's seat teacher, what do you say about this trip to the salt imperial history?" ”

Li Zhijie was stunned when he heard this: "Xue Tongzhi is a student of Xia Cifu? ”

Xie Kun nodded.

Xu He looked at Xie Kun again, the relationship network in the court was complicated, but Xie Kun was like Men Qing'er, and he had the opportunity to take care of the details of his uncle, and he always felt that the other party was by no means an ordinary celebrity.

How can a celebrity who offended Shousuke still live so nourishingly?

Li Zhijie muttered: "I recently heard a letter from Jingli in the same year that Qin Shoufu has been very close to the King of Qi recently, and Xia Cifu is the teacher of His Royal Highness the Prince, and the two sides are not in harmony, and even when they are on duty in the cabinet, the two auxiliary ministers never discuss matters face-to-face. ”

The corners of Xie Kun's mouth twitched, and he seemed to disdain the two most powerful civil leaders of the Great Wei Dynasty.

"Our Majesty has recently been confused in cultivating the Tao, and is preparing to build Ziyang Palace in the palace, it is said that in order to please His Majesty, King Qi asked people everywhere to raise money, and he was very urgent!" Xie Kun took a sip of tea, as if he had no intention of saying it.

"Shhh Li Zhijie was suddenly shocked and said, "What ......does Brother Ziyu mean?"

He didn't dare to go any further when he was halfway through his sentence.

Xu He felt a little cloudy and foggy at first, but he quickly sorted out his thoughts.

From Xie Kun's mouth, we can learn a few information points: "The current Great Wei has at least two princes, one is the crown prince, the other is the king of Qi, there was originally a prince, the country has already had a prince, as the king of Qi, as a vassal king, he should have been a vassal early, I don't know why he is still in the capital, and he is not at ease at all." ”

"The second point is that the emperor seems to be obsessed with cultivation, and the king of Qi urgently needs money in order to cater to the emperor!"

"Third, the first assistant Qin Yan is the person of the King of Qi, or an ally of the King of Qi, the King of Qi is short of money, he must find Qin Yan, Qin Yan will naturally sink the pressure on the students who are magistrates, will the Zhou Governor also get a hint from the teacher to help him make money."

Thinking of this, Xu He suddenly spoke: "Is Ge Yunju, the Salt Transport Division's student of Shoufu, a student of the first assistant that day?" ”

Ge Yunju was the fat old man who came to Hailing with Governor Zhou that day, and Xu He later learned that his surname was Ge.

Xie Kun looked at Xu He with a smile when he heard this, and then said, "Ge Youli is not Qin Yan's student, he has a distant cousin who married Qin Yan's son Qin Que and became a concubine!" ”

After hearing this, Xu He's back was cold: "Could it be that there is another reason why the laboratory was burned that day!" ”

Xie Kun hit his other hand with a fan, laughed, pointed at Xu He and said to Li Zhijie: "You disciple is a little interesting!" ”

Li Zhijie turned his head to Xu He and said, "What did you think of?" ”

Xu He sorted out his thoughts and replied: "The teacher still remembers that day outside the city, the teacher once introduced me to that Xue Tongzhi!" ”

"Xue Tongzhi was impeached for some trivial things, and it is natural to be demoted for crimes, but after being demoted, he got a fat sentence, which is a bit strange."

"Coincidentally, as soon as Xue Tongzhi arrived at the inspection center, the root was burned, which is too coincidental!"

"If I'm not mistaken, on the day that the thieves attacked the inspection office, Xue Tongzhi's official signature to be sentenced to the judgment happened to arrive in Yangzhou Mansion."

Li Zhijie and Xie Kun glanced at each other, and they both saw a hint of surprise in each other's eyes.

"You're right!" Li Zhijie nodded, and his expression seemed to have the color of an examination school.

Xu He sighed: "The prefect of Zhou should have received the signature of this ministry a long time ago, and he has not been able to send it, so he waited for Xue Tongzhi to wait, and when he went to the inspection institute to inspect, he just took out the signature!" ”

Li Zhijie frowned and asked, "What is the ultimate purpose of the few of them?" ”

Xu He didn't sell it anymore: "The purpose of the thieves is not to attack Hailing, not to attack the inspection center to loot tax silver, their real purpose is actually to lead the roots!" Burning the roots is their ultimate goal! ”

Li Zhijie was shocked in place when he heard this, and looked at Xu He incredulously.

In his opinion, Zhou Zhifu just wanted to follow Xue Tongzhi's [Monkey Urgency] to deal with Xia Yangqiu's second assistant.

But his own student thought of another layer.

Xu He continued: "Xue Tongzhi also has his own sources in the capital, knowing that he has been blessed by misfortune and has been fattened by luck, he must have a loose mouth and spread it to the ears of people with ulterior motives. Those people knew that Xue Tongzhi would go to the Baoba Approval Institute on that day, so they teamed up with the thieves to burn the root and blame Xue Tongzhi! ”

"Ridiculous, how could Zhou Futai know a thief?" Li Zhijie was furious.

Xu He didn't panic, he calmly broke down: "Then teacher, how do you explain that after the thieves robbed the treasury from Taixing, they went north through Jiangdu and Gaoyouzhou, but there must be no movement in the Yamen of Futai?" ”

"You, are you saying that the gang of bandits was actually released by Zhou Futai?"

Xu He nodded: "Even, the bandits have broken through Taixing County, and there are internal ghosts who should cooperate with each other!" ”

Xu He's words not only stunned Li Zhijie, but even Xie Kun fell into deep thought.

"Taixing County is Zhoufutai's name to the thief, after the thief got the benefits, he first unexpectedly went north, and then went around in a circle, turned back, and pretended to attack Hailing County, but in fact it broke the laboratory and burned the roots!"

"What ...... did they burn down the roots" Li Zhijie stopped halfway through his words, and cold sweat broke out on his forehead!
