When Sikong Gu and the three of them entered the back hall, there were two big men who were not inferior to Lu Xun standing next to a carved wooden chair with their backs, and when Lu Xun sat down, the two big men slowly retreated behind Lu Xun, and kept scanning Sikong Gu and the three of them with two pairs of tiger eyes, but in the end, the perspective still fell on the Cao Gang who trembled slightly and had a frightened face.

"This is also your gang?"

After Lu Xun sat down, he also looked at the Cao Gang gang in front of him, whose left cheek was raised high, and his eyes were full of panic.

But he still didn't show a trace of dissatisfaction, just shook his head: "I'm afraid this person is not a member of the Cao Gang, but it is indeed the key to this case." ”

Lu Xun snorted, picked up the teacup, took a sip of tea, and then said: "It turns out that you still have to talk about the case, and our family also said that you kid understands our family's mind." ”

Sikong Gu smiled on his face: "Xiaomin naturally knows the intentions of adults, but adults should also listen to the villain's methods?"

Yang Shuo listened to the conversation covered by the clouds and mountains, but his heart was very confused, today Sikong seemed to have been mentioning the matter of the Cao Gang after entering the court alone, but he refused to cut to the chase. In Yang Shuo's view, this court confrontation should naturally be an exchange of arguments and evidence, where is there anything that is not willing? Now this Lu Xun seems to be unwilling to talk about this case, but isn't it because of this case that we are here today?

Although Yang Shuo was anxious, he also knew that today was not just a simple dispute between the rivers and lakes, but also a life lawsuit, if it was a matter of rivers and lakes, he could still insert a few words, but now that he was talking to the overseers all the way, if he said a wrong word, I was afraid that the Cao Gang would be completely ruined by his own rashness. At the moment, he only suppressed the doubts in his heart and saw what calculations were in Sikong Gu's stomach.

But the next conversation between Sikong Gu and Lu Xun made Yang Shuo feel like a thunderbolt:

"Lord Lu suddenly appeared in Yangzhou today, and deliberately spread the news to the gangs in the rivers and lakes. I'm afraid that he didn't come here to visit the son of his old friend, nor did he punish the Cao Gang, but he had other plans. Did you guess right?"

Lu Xunhu's eyes flashed with a fine light, and he laughed again: "The kid is smart! It's good, we don't have to go around and around, but you can tell me, what are we doing to rush to Yangzhou this time?"

Sikong Gu maintained a consistent smile on his face, and said calmly: "Lord Lu took in the Cao Gang today to imprison an important person, in order not to uproot the Cao Gang, but to intensify the contradiction between the Cao Gang and the government, and when the contradiction is about to break out, the Xiang army outside the city can enter the city to arrest people, no matter how strong the martial arts of the masters of the rivers and lakes are, they are not as good as the army......'s bows and crossbows."

Sikong Gu glanced at the big man behind Lu Xun, and continued: "Just like the small crossbow hidden in the sleeve of this brother's coat, if the two of my senior brothers have bad intentions, I am afraid that this poisoned crossbow arrow will kill us." ”

The big man who was glanced at showed a frightened look, and looked down to find out where his flaws were, but he didn't know that he didn't show his feet, but Sikong Gu had already memorized the information of everyone in the Jian'an Army, and there were countless bandits and thieves and people in the martial arts who died under the secret crossbow of the Jian'an Army, even the extremely tenacious Sikong Gu was taken aback when he first saw the information.

Hearing that Sikong Gu was clear, Lu Xun had a stronger smile on his face, but he also had a trace of jealousy for Sikong Gu in his heart, he thought that Sikong Gu was a member of the Cao Gang, but after a closer look, Sikong Gu's clothes were still a little different from Yang Shuo and the guy covered in mud......

Who is this descendant?

Lu Xun slowly picked up the teacup, took a sip of the cold tea, and said in his extremely sharp voice: "It's expected, you're afraid that you're looking for our family today, right?"

When Sikong Gu heard this, he knew that Lu Xun had recognized that he could talk to him on an equal footing, and immediately said:

"If Lord Lu really wants to clear the martial arts in Yangzhou, he can act in concealment, make the Jian'an army enter the city in batches, and then attack together, he can sweep away the two forces of the Cao Gang and Yangdaomen, but the Lord released the news first, and the fanfare is behind, no matter how you look at it, it is not ......to clear the rivers and lakes."

At this point, Sikong Guxiao looked at this eunuch with a leopard's head and eyes with interest, and when he saw a glimmer of light flashing in his eyes, he used a teacup to cover it up in a panic, and he knew that what he expected was good - Lu Xun did not come to clear the forces of the rivers and lakes in Yangzhou.

"Oh, and why am I here?"

Lu Xun's pretended calm appearance may be able to deceive Yang Shuo, but he can't hide Sikong Gu, who already knows his details, but Sikong Gu knows that this matter can't be explained, so he said: "Your Excellency can't lack the power to control Yangzhou Wulin, and control the rivers and lakes with the government, the previous dynasty has already tried, this method will not work." The Southern Tang Dynasty is the way to do this, but when the Jinling City Slope was on the slope, there was no one from the rivers and lakes to help, and the adults must be clear. In this case, using the rivers and lakes to control the rivers and lakes is the purpose of the imperial court, that is, the purpose of the adults. ”

Lu Xun's hand shook, and only half a cup of tea was spilled, wetting his robe.

"That's good...... Sikong boy, I don't know your accent is a native of Yangzhou?"

Lu Xun squinted and stared at Sikong Gu while wiping the wet marks with a silk scarf, but Sikong Gu knew that Lu Xun was not shocked because he had told him what was on his mind, but because he said those two words.

"What a clumsy acting skill......" Sikong Gu smiled bitterly in his heart, but still said aloud:

"Xiaomin is a native of Jiangning, Jiangnan. ”

Lu Xun immediately made a very fake smile in Sikong Gu's eyes: "Heh, our family is also from Jiangning, speaking of which, we are actually fellow villagers, and we are also destined." Seeing that you are not very old, do you have a table?"

After saying that, he laughed, the voice was sharp and greasy, if you didn't look at that face, it was really like a woman.

Sikong Gu couldn't help but feel uncomfortable, and pretended to be surprised: "It's really disrespectful for Xiaomin to be the same townsman as Lord Lu. Xiaomin wasted twenty years, and was gifted by the grace teacher to the table word Meng Yuan. ”

After that, Sikong bowed alone.

Lu Xun had already talked with Yang Yonghua in this back hall, and he already knew Sikong Gu's identity, and when he asked Sikong Gu this time, he didn't know that he was from Jiangning, so he put down the teacup again, got up with a smile and helped him up, and most of his suspicions were gone: "Why be polite? Since Meng Yuan is a fellow villager with me, there is no need to be so polite, since Meng Yuan is here to find me today, he must have guessed my purpose......

"Yes, suppressing the Cao Gang and controlling the Huainan River and Lake with a raised knife is the purpose of the adults today. ”

"Not really, right?"

Lu Xun no longer sat down, but smiled with his hands behind his back, this smile was profound.

"Yes, that's why Xiaomin came to find an adult today. Adults need a gang that can control the martial arts for adults, not the Yang Dao Gate, since the Yang Dao Gate can, then why can't the Cao Gang?"

Lu Xun's smile did not decrease: "Meng Yuan, do you know why I chose Yangdaomen?"

Xiaomin speculated that there were two reasons: one was that Li Zhou was dead, and the Cao Gang had the potential of a landslide, and the other was that yesterday's case implicated the Cao Gang. ”

Lu Xun said with a smile: "Yes, whoever is stronger, who is more valuable, I will choose whom, I just heard Shou Xian say that you are the shopkeeper behind the first restaurant in Yangzhou, I didn't believe it, but now I have to believe it." Now that you know why, why did I choose the Cao Gang?"

"There are also two reasons: first, although Li Zhou is dead, the Cao Gang will not disperse, so the Cao Gang is still stronger than Yangdaomen; second, yesterday's case was not committed by someone in the Cao Gang. ”

"Meng Yuan, do you know that this is the Yamen. ”

"Xiaomin knows very well that in the Yamen, you have to talk about evidence. ”

"Then take it out. ”

Lu Xun sat down at this time and looked at Sikong Gu with interest, but Sikong Gu was still calm and confident.

"The first reason is that I have already proved it to adults. ”

"Oh, how do you prove it?"

"The situation outside the Yamen is dangerous, it is my senior brother Yang Shuo who stopped this conflict, although Li Zhou is not there, the Cao Gang will never become a wild horse. ”

Sikong Gu pulled Yang Shuo, although Yang Shuo was puzzled, he also understood what Sikong Gu meant by pulling himself.

"Xiaomin Yang Shuo, the word Dexi, has seen Lord Lu. ”

"So you're the one who stopped the conflict. Lu Xun finished speaking, and then slid his gaze from Yang Shuo's slightly vicissitudes of hard stubble to the empty right sleeve, "'Left-handed sword' Yang Shuo? ”

Sikong Gu knew that Yang Shuo didn't know much about the rules of dealing with the government, so he blocked half of Yang Shuo's body behind him, and replied first: "Thank you for your love for my senior brother, Xiaomin doesn't know if this 'left-handed sword' can lift the crumbling edifice of the Cao Gang in the eyes of adults?"

Lu Xun leaned on the back of the chair, looked at Sikong Gu with his head held high, and said: "So, how are you going to get the Cao Gang out of yesterday's case? ”

Yang Shuo said in his heart: "Finally reached the critical point, junior brother, what can you do?"

Sikong Gu said: "Xiaomin has a question that I want to hear the answer to adults. ”

"But it doesn't hurt to say that. ”

The smile on Sikong Gu's face disappeared: "What do you want for the truth, or an explanation for the nobles in the city?"

Lu Xun sneered: "Naturally, it is the truth that can be said. ”

Sikong Gu nodded, and said, "Then Xiaomin will hand over this truth to the adults." ”

After that, Sikong Gu arched his hand again and said: "I think the evidence has arrived outside the yamen, and I hope that the adults will stay for a while, and Xiaomin will go and get 'it'."

After Lu Xun nodded, Sikong Gu turned around and walked through the public hall where the officials were whispering, and brought in the "evidence" in the suspicious eyes of the officials.

Although Sikong Gu had less than half a pillar of incense to go back and forth, Yang Shuo felt as if half a year had passed.

After Sikong Gu put the evidence on the ground, Lu Xun had not yet opened his mouth to ask, but Yang Shuo had already lost his voice: "This ...... What is this thing?"

Sikong Gu's eyes widened, looked at Yang Shuo, and said with a slight sluggishness: "This is ...... Proof. ”
