Pu Tongjin immediately retorted to Tao Ziyun and said: "Listen to what Master Tao means, what is the person named Wu Qizhong, it is because of the relationship between favor and money that he was able to enter the country to study. He has always been cautious about how he would get involved in such a dirty thing. Master Tao has implicated this official in this rumor for no reason, is it too negligent?"

Tao Ziyun even ridiculed Pu Tongjin: "Master Pu claims to be cautious, but I don't think so." You forcibly came out for the sake of Ma Jianzhe's matter, and came to Cangshangshu more than once to make representations, so that Ma Jianzhe would not be punished as necessary, wouldn't it be a violation of human morality and the law and discipline of the Qing Dynasty?

"I discussed with Cang Shangshu about Ma Jianzhe, not for Ma Jianzhe, but to make Cang Shangshu's case more reasonable. As for Wu Qizhong's matter, in a word, I didn't do it!" Pu Tongjin became more and more firm the more he spoke, and he did not admit that his behavior was improper at all.

Tao Ziyun approached Pu Tongjin and grabbed his shoulders with both hands: "Wu Qizhong's matter, whether you did it or not, I'll know if I try it!"

Pu Tongjin turned around, waved Tao Ziyun's hands away, jumped up, jumped behind Tao Ziyun, and slapped Tao Ziyun's back with both palms: "Don't deceive people too much!"

Tao Ziyun didn't dodge, and his back was hit solidly by Pu Tongjin's palms.

Tao Ziyun sneered and turned to face Pu Tongjin, who did not make another move to continue the attack, staring at his own hands with a look of regret.

Tao Ziyun forced Pu Tongjin to say, "Master Pu, what else do you have to say? Am I deceiving people too much, or are you deceiving people too much?"

Pu Tongjin replied embarrassedly: "Listen to Cangshangshu, your kung fu is good, I'm afraid of falling for your plot." That's what I started fighting with you. ”

Cang Shangshu hurriedly gave the two guests a round game: "Master Tao, Master Pu, don't fight anymore, you and Master Pu are my guests, even if you save me a little face." You all go to the table and sit down, have a bite to eat, and clear up any misunderstandings. ”

Tao Ziyun and Pu Tongjin both went to the table and sat down. However, Tao Ziyun added: "Just sit here, I only came here after dinner, and I don't want to eat anything now." ”

"I don't know as much as you do. If you don't eat, I still have to continue to eat dinner with Cang Shangshu. Pu Tongjin picked up the chopsticks and picked up the wine glass.

Tao Ziyun calmly watched Pu Tongjin and Cang Shangshu clink glasses and drink, and after a while, he said to Pu Tongjin: "Master Pu." I just said -- Wu Qizhong's matter. Whether you did it or not, I'll see if I tried it. Guess what I tried?"

Pu Tongjin had calmed down now, and he replied to Tao Ziyun with a calm expression: "Of course I guessed your purpose just now." I have heard Cang Shangshu say that your kung fu is very strong, but you did not fight to the death with me, obviously, you are just trying my kung fu. ”

Tao Ziyun tried his best to suppress the anger in his heart, and said slowly: "You guessed my purpose." And you're pretending to be okay?"

Faced with Tao Ziyun's questioning, Pu Tongjin simply replied: "You want me to stop caring about Ma Jianzhe." ”

Cang Shangshu immediately added: "Yes, yes, yes." If you have supervised the imperial history to ask about this matter, you should not persuade me to overturn the case for Ma Jianzhe. ”

Pu Tongjin said indignantly to Cang Shangshu: "I'm making your case more reasonable." Hmph, Lord Tao oppresses people with power, where do I dare to ask about you. ”

Tao Ziyun solemnly pointed out to Pu Tongjin: "Ma Jianzhe must be punished, otherwise he will continue to act arrogantly in the future." Your representations to Cang Shangshu are not reasonable at all. What's more, the bad guy in Wu Qizhong not only made an exception to enter the Guozijian to study, but also learned magical kung fu from that official, so that Wu Qizhong would do evil after returning to his hometown. Your kung fu is not bad! Wu Qizhong's kung fu is obviously what you taught him. ”

"I don't care about Cangshangshu's trial of Ma Jianzhe's case, can't I? I've already said it, Wu Qizhong's matter was not done by me! Although I am a civil official, I also have to learn kung fu to exercise my body, and it can also be used for self-defense, moreover, the Qing Dynasty has a tradition of civilian officials leading troops to war, and if there is a war one day, I will also have to lead troops to fight.

Tao Ziyun chased and asked Pu Tongjin: "You didn't do it?

Pu Tongjin coped with Tao Ziyun's questioning with annoyance: "That kind of thing in Wu Qizhong should be an extremely secret thing, whoever does that thing must be secret, how can I know that?"

Cang Shangshu persuaded Tao Ziyun and said: "Master Tao, let Master Pu go! Because I don't know anything about Wu Qizhong, it is very likely that Master Pu does not know, and the person who really did that thing must have the ability to keep it secret for himself." ”

"If you don't admit it, forget it. You sue me, among the officials of the Guozijian, who has magical kung fu?" Tao Ziyun said to Pu Tongjin in a retreat.

At this moment, Pu Tongjin replied to Tao Ziyun with self-preservation: "It's not good to be nosy, so don't ask me for news anymore." If you are interested, you can ask the other officials of the Guozijian directly. ”

"Forget it, I'll take my leave. Tao Ziyun couldn't ask anything, got up and was about to leave.

"You have to go back now, I can't keep you, I'll send you. Cang Shangshu got up to see off Tao Ziyun, and called Pu Tongjin: "Master Pu, you also send a ride to Master Tao, it seems that you have no ghost in your heart, which means that you didn't do what Wu Qizhong did." ”

Pu Tongjin reluctantly followed Cang Shangshu's advice and sent Tao Ziyun out of the hall together.

Cang Shangshu kept persuading Tao Ziyun not to blame Pu Tongjin anymore: "Master Tao, don't blame Master Pu anymore, we are so friendly, Master Pu is my friend, that is, your friend." When he really does something bad, it's not too late for you to impeach him again, I'm in charge of the prison business, forgive him for not daring to do that kind of bad thing, if he does something bad, he will get close to the water and get the moon first, and I will immediately let him suffer from prison! With me here, you don't have to blame Master Pu like that. ”

"Well, in that case, I can save myself the worry and take care of other things. Tao Ziyun nodded, then walked to the big tree outside the hall and untied the horse's reins.

Tao Ziyun came over this time, and he knew that there was nothing good to say, and the horse didn't let the servants of Cangfu take it to the stable. Because he understands that if words are not speculative, he will leave in a short time, and it is better to save trouble. (To be continued......)
