The Happy Life of Small Officials in Northern Song Dynasty

Every move of the owner of the car dealership was in the eyes of Su Jin. Dynasty and Ma Han followed people all afternoon. I don't know the content of the conversation, and Wang Chao Ma Han wrote down all the rest in his small notebook, and told Su Jin in detail when he came back.high-speed update

Su Jin frowned and paced back and forth, with a vacillating expression, and did not speak for a long time.

Ma Han couldn't bear it and said, "Master, what should we do? Shall we do it?"

Su Jin glared at him sideways and said, "How do I do it? Go directly to the owner of the car dealership?"

Ma Han scratched his head and said, "Catch them and beat them, I'm not afraid they won't confess."

Chao Chao slapped his head and said, "How about more brains? What kind of law did the owner of the car dealer commit? What do we use to arrest people? Are we really blaming the car dealer for the robbery of food? We don't want people to laugh at our grandfather." It's a fool."

Ma Han said angrily: "Then what should we do? Just watching them do small tricks but not doing anything, the master said to scare the snake to catch the snake. Now that the snake is showing its head, why don't you catch it?"

Su Jin was angry and funny, and scolded: "Stop talking nonsense, who said you won't find them? But now is not the time. The current situation tells us at least two things. The first is that Zhu Shiyong really has a ghost in his heart. As soon as Bian talked about the trouble of finding a car dealer, he started to act, which is a sign of guilt; the second is to hook up some black hands of the Chamber of Commerce, who knew that the Chamber of Commerce must have played a big role in Longzhen's grain transportation. Glorious characters, now that this matter is even more solid, they must have a part in it."

Wang Chao said: "From the point of view of a villain, this matter is obvious. When Long Zhen came to Luzhou, the owner of the car dealership must have been ordered not to rent cars; later, seeing that the time was almost delayed, he decided to stop again to avoid suspicion. Ordering the car dealer to rent a big car to Long Zhen, it was delayed for several days, but the goal has been achieved."

Su Jin nodded and said: "Of course there is a conclusion to this matter. Taking advantage of the gap in the middle, Zhu Shiyong was able to calmly come up with a way to inform the bandits. It is also expected that the food was robbed later."

Ma Han said: "I don't understand, why did you give Chen Laogen to Ouyang Xiu? Chen Laogen is the witness, so if you take this old dog directly, it will be a one-and-done one. You hand over the witness to Ouyang Xiu, But this person has been procrastinating to get Zhu Shiyong, and he doesn't know what his plan is."

Su Jindao: "Do you think Ouyang Zhongcheng doesn't want to come and get someone? He lacks key evidence. The letter was destroyed, but it is the key evidence for conviction. Without that letter, Zhu Shiyong can say that Mr. Ouyang is a criminal." False accusation, how will we deal with it by then?"

Ma Han scratched his head and said: "But you can't just watch it like this? You know that these guys are up to something, but you can't take it, you really feel aggrieved."

Su Jin said: "Be safe and don't be impatient. Originally, I planned to spend the new year in peace and leave everything to Mr. Ouyang to handle, but now I have changed my mind. I have to make two preparations. If Mr. Ouyang can't handle it, I will take care of it." This side must not let him go, this is called a two-pronged approach; it is best if both sides can get solid evidence, then Zhu Shiyong can never stand up."

Wang Chao said: "My lord seems to have a solution."

Su Jindao: "The old way, Luzhou is under the control of Zhu Shiyong. If you blatantly ask the owner of the car dealership, you will get nothing. It is even less advisable to arrest and execute him. Under Zhu Shiyong's nose, you must not give him a handle, otherwise he will Don't hesitate to impeach me; if we want to get evidence, we still have to do it secretly."

Chao Mahan said excitedly: "One by one at night to get confessions?"

Su Jin shook his head and said: "Absolutely not. I dare say that from this afternoon onwards, people from Zhu Shiyong will be watching secretly around the car dealership. Don't treat Zhu Shiyong as a fool. He may be able to guess the meaning of what I said, but he also Having to cover up the loopholes seems to us to be in our trick, but why don't we know that he also has a card waiting for us to go in?"

Wang Chao said disapprovingly: "This old boy will have such a city?"

Su Jin said: "People who underestimate their opponents usually die miserably. Before we arrived, the food affairs in Luzhou City were all handled in accordance with the requirements of the court. Based on this, is Zhu Shiyong still a fool? Not only did he look at The situation is serious, and we have cooperated tacitly with the Chamber of Commerce. I dare say that if we go to check the grain in Luzhou this time, I am afraid that one or two grains hoarded in violation of regulations will not be found. He has already arranged it properly."

Wang Chao said: "From this point of view, he is already prepared for us to find him, but he is well prepared, so he is confident. It's just that the young master's side attack disrupted his position, this old dog has no choice but to attack him." Cover up the flaws on this side again."

Su Jin said: "It's good for you to understand this, so it's not easy to start now. It seems that we have not taken the initiative. Now that the snake has come out of the grass and exposed, we will hide in the dark to see how it moves; you don't have to stare at it. The car is ready, let's spend the new year comfortably, let Zhu Shiyong tense up, once he relaxes his vigilance, our chance will come."

Chao Mahan rolled his eyes, the young master was hurtful enough, teased others, but then retreated as if nothing had happened, hanging Zhu Shiyong up and down to suffer, is this also called strategy?

However, although the two of them were a bit slanderous, it was really hard for them to understand the depth of the young master's affairs. Since the young master said that he didn't need to stare at him, he was happy to take it easy.

In the next two days, Su Jin's schedule was full. First, he visited Mr. Luzhou Tixue, and then he took turns having banquets and talks with a group of talented men and women from the Luohua Poetry Club formed by the original Li Zhong. Be careful and actually wrote two wonderful lyrics, which made the Luzhou literary world talk about it again.

On the 29th day of the twelfth lunar month, Su Jin got up early in the morning and was busy directing Xiao Sui'er and others to sweep the courtyard, tidy up the house, hang red lanterns, cut red paper to write Spring Festival couplets, and cut window grilles. An unexpected guest came to the house.

After Su Jin got the report, he rushed to the flower hall to meet the guests. As soon as he entered the door of the flower hall, he saw a thin figure in common clothes with his hands up and his head admiring the banner written by Su Jin himself on the wall of the flower hall.

Su Jin was startled suddenly, suddenly overjoyed, and shouted: "Brother Wei?"

The man shook his body and turned around, his thin face was full of joy, it was Wei Songhe, Yingtianyuan's life and death friend.

Su Jin stepped forward quickly, hugged Wei Songhe, patted him repeatedly, and said with a smile: "The day before yesterday, I visited Mr. Tixue Lu and mentioned you. I was thinking that the hospital should also take annual leave. Why didn't I see you come back? I don't know Which street or lane do you live in, but I can't find you."

Wei Songhe laughed and said, "I didn't get home the day before yesterday, so what's the difficulty in finding me? As soon as I come back, I will definitely visit my mentor, Mr. Lu. I didn't know you were in Luzhou until I went to visit my mentor last night. I spent a whole night wandering around. As soon as it was light, they hurried over."

Su Jin laughed loudly and said: "It can be regarded as meeting again, come here, take a seat quickly, Sui Er, make a pot of the best melon slices, Mr. Wei is a distinguished guest."

Xiao Sui'er hurriedly turned around to make tea, Su Jin turned to look at Wei Songhe and said, "We haven't seen each other for almost three months, how are the righteous brothers? How is Brother Jiefu?"

Wei Songhe opened his mouth, and when he saw Xiao Sui'er coming up with the teapot, he hurriedly shut his mouth.

Xiao Sui'er made tea for the two of them and left, Wei Songhe took a sip of the tea and praised, "It smells so good!"

Seeing that something was wrong with him, Su Jin hurriedly asked: "Brother Wei seems to have calmed down a lot, and his face has also softened, but what's on your mind?"

Wei Songhe put down his teacup and looked at Su Jin, suddenly tears welled up in his eyes, Su Jin was even more stunned and said, "What's wrong? Why are you crying so hard?"

Wei Songhe hurriedly wiped away his tears with his sleeve, forced a smile and said, "Brother Yu is crying and crying during the New Year's Eve, it's really bad luck, but I must tell you about this matter, and please don't blame me, Brother Yu."

Su Jin said: "Quickly tell me, are you trying to kill me?"

Wei Songhe sniffed, and said softly: "Brother Lu and Brother Cheng are both dead..."

Su Jin was startled, fearing that she had heard it wrong, she hurriedly said, "What? Say it again."

Wei Songhe burst into tears and sobbed, "Both brothers Lu Dakui and Cheng Liangmu have passed away."

"What?" Su Jin shook his hand, a cup of tea fell to the ground, and the teacup was smashed into pieces.
