The drunken officials in the hall also saw the strange situation of Liu Yan'er and Tian Shangshu, and then looked at the faces of King Yi and King Dai, and immediately recalled their identities and being in King Dai's mansion, and instantly broke out in a cold sweat, and the wine also woke up, and they pushed away the woman in their arms to sit precariously, and the atmosphere in the hall was very strange for a while, and no one spoke.

"Everyone has greed, greed is like fire, if it is not contained, it will burn the prairies, and the borrowed treasury silver has been in the bag for a long time, and it hurts when the money is repaid. King Yi put away his laughing expression, straightened his face and said: "The silver of the dynasty treasury is like human blood, if it is not returned for a long time, it is inevitable that the building will collapse in this dynasty, are you happy to see it?"

"From the Great Xia Dynasty to the three grades and six books, down to the five grades of civil and military officials, everyone seems to have a miserable life, and they have to rely on selling their ancestral homes, tables, chairs and benches in exchange for food, is this really the case?" King Dai's face was as cold as frost, and he said coldly: "Your lords are working so hard, why don't you resign and go home to farm?"

Tian Shangshu and Xu Shangshu glanced at each other, knowing that they had fallen into the trap of King Dai and King Yi, which made people hold the handle and think about it, but they had to admire it.

When he first entered the palace of King Dai, the officials were vigilant, King Dai deliberately did the opposite, first with a case, a plate of peanuts, a pot of wine to attract the attention of the officials, and then use the cold to constantly erode the vigilance of the officials.

The most important thing is that he even saved face for the officials.

"Your Majesty is merciful now, and I don't want to hurt the dignity of your lords, but the money owed to the dynasty will be repaid before the year. King Dai straightened his face and coldly gave the order to evict the guests: "It's late tonight, all the adults will go back to their homes to rest, and Master Li will give the items prepared by the king to you." ”

Master Li of the Daiwang Mansion moved quickly and handed out a piece of paper to each official in the hall.

Tian Shangshu squinted his eyes and hurriedly swept it, and saw that the paper recorded the number and time of his coming to Yuchun Loufang in half a year, and then he was ashamed, and put the silk paper into his arms, and the rest of the officials each put the paper into their arms and dispersed in a hurry.

When there were only two people left in the hall, King Dai and King Yi, Xu Yazhi rushed in from outside the hall, and the three of them looked at each other and smiled.

King Dai sighed: "Debt repayment, a simple matter, but it must make things so complicated, my father is too merciful, and there is no imperial power and majesty, it is really misleading." ”

"Xu Xiaowu's ghost idea is good, Tian Shangshu and Xu Shangshu looked ashamed when they left, it is estimated that it will not be long before the arrears can be paid off. King Yi looked at Xu Yayi with a smile on his face.

"There are more than 1,000 in this dynasty so far, and the two factions in the court are now distinct, and the royal family and the wealthy gentlemen do not interact with each other, do not intermarry, do not make friends, and even do not sit at the same table. Xu Yazhi's face was full of worry, and then said: "Tian Shangshu and his gang refused to repay the money for a long time, thinking that the benefits of the court and the middle were all taken away by the disciples of the royal family, and they suffered a loss......

"Partisanship is more harmful than beneficial to the dynasty. King Yi said helplessly: "This contradiction has been accumulated after several dynasties, and it is basically unsolvable, even the father and the emperor cannot take all the descendants of the royal family from the important positions in the court and replace them with ordinary scholars." ”

"According to the king, this matter is still due to the excessive benevolence of the father, and these officials are used to it, and the crown prince and brother imitate their father in everything, and the tail of these officials will be even higher in the future. King Dai's face was full of indignation.

"These things are still arranged by my father. As soon as King Yi heard about the dispute between the court and the government, he immediately changed his words and said: "Xu Xiaowu gives advice to the second brother and solves problems, which can be regarded as contributing to the court, what reward do you want?"

"Contributing to the court's worries is a matter of the next part, if it comes to rewards. Xu Yazhi thought for a while and said slowly: "If possible, can you ask His Royal Highness King Dai to ask His Majesty for a holy decree to pardon a prisoner in the Heavenly Prison." ”

"Who is the prisoner's surname?" King Yi and Xu Yazi were very familiar, and they were curious for a while, and asked: "Xiao Wu, this is the first time you are begging someone, is this prisoner a man or a woman?"

"A female prisoner named Su Ziqing. Xu Yazhi explained: "I was too punctual in Jiangcheng County, there was a murder case in Jiangshang County, Su Ziqing took the blame for his brother, and the matter finally reached the heavenly court. ”

"Yazhi solves problems for the king this time, and if he can successfully recover the arrears for the court, it will be regarded as the first merit. King Dai said in a deep voice: "It's just that Your Majesty often mentions that the rule of law is the rule of law, and this king can only try his best, but there is no guarantee that this matter will be successful." ”

"Xu Xiaowu. Yiwang was a little uneasy, and asked, "Can Tian Shangshu and his gang repay the money smoothly?"

"Tian Shangshu is scheming, he has always regarded himself as a clean official, and this time His Royal Highness King Dai took the handle of the prostitute in Yuchun Loufang, as expected in the next day, he will definitely repay the money before the Laba Festival. Xu Yazhi said affirmatively.

Things were as Xu Yazhi expected, after the Laba Festival, Tian Shangshu and Xu Shangshu took the initiative to send people to the Dai Wangfu to return the lack of treasury silver in the past, and the rest of the officials heard the wind and secretly settled the arrears.

An errand that caused King Dai a headache for several months was successfully resolved, and he quietly saved all aspects of his face, and was praised by Renzong again and again.

A few days later, Xu Ya was intercepted by King Dai, and he had a premonition of something, and his heart was hot.

"Xu Yazhi, this king has obtained a secret decree for you, and will grant another amnesty to Su Ziqing, according to the law of Great Xia, the ten evil sins, three minus one. King Dai smiled brightly, took out a holy decree, and handed it to Xu Yazhi.

Xu Yazhi took the secret decree, hurriedly swept his eyes, and said in a low voice: "Thank you Your Royal Highness King Dai for your trouble, and the minister will rush to the heavenly prison to announce the decree." ”

"Su Wenya, you are a strange man, and you have always refused to marry and take concubines. King Dai's eyebrows were full of smiles, and he asked puzzledly: "How many Houmen ladies in Luodu admire your talent, why do you care so much about a folk woman today?"

"This woman is very courageous, and she is affectionate and righteous, but the minister is only out of pity, and has no other intentions. Xu Yazhi gave the salute again and walked away.

"Love starts from the heart, and I still don't know. King Dai looked at Xu Yazhi's back, shook his head and said, "However, the disparity in identity is huge, and it will be fruitless in the end." ”

An hour later, in the prison, the light was slightly dim, and Su Ziqing laughed happily, jumping up and down like a deer.

"Lord Xu, thank you for always remembering the matter of the people's daughter. ”

"The world is like a melting pot, all living beings are suffering, this official respects your sister and brother for affection and righteousness, and with the permission of the ancient Xia law, he has done a favor that pushes the boat along the river. Xu Yazhi smiled faintly.

Su Ziqing blinked, and suddenly smiled: "Lord Xu, as soon as you drop your bookbag, the folk girl will listen to it and half-understand, can you speak in the vernacular, why don't you bring me two books on Chinese and character interpretation another day, and the folk girl will take the time to learn?"

"Haha, okay, I'll deliver the books in two days. Seeing that Su Ziqing was imprisoned and still had the idea of studying, Xu Ya's heart was moved, and she agreed, and asked, "Have you ever been bullied in prison?"

Su Ziqing said: "The fat man in the prison is kind to me, not only arranges a separate cell for me to live in, but also never arranges me to do heavy work. ”

"Cui Fatzi is not bad, I have to ask him when I go back. Xu Yazhi asked, "Do you have any other requirements?"

Su Ziqing looked at Xu Yazhi's face and hesitated: "I want to know the whereabouts of my younger brother Su Ziang, can Lord Xu help inquire." ”

"I have inquired carefully with the officials of Jiangcheng County about this matter, and I have found no trace of Su Ziang, you don't have to worry too much, if there is any news, I will inform you in time." Xu Yazhi replied.

Su Ziqing re-applied a blessing and said, "There is Lord Lao Xu who has bothered, and the people and girls are grateful." ”210
