Chapter 166
Xie Changshi, Wang Zhizhou, and Cai Zhifu sighed, wept, and regretted in the post house. Unknowingly, they babbled for a long time. feeling.

When the gong sounded, he came back to his senses, only to realize that this trip was in vain.

He and Cai Zhifu let Xie Chuan lead them by the nose. They didn't say anything they wanted to say.

"You can't be judged by appearances. Xie Changshi looks gentle, he is a soft-spoken literati, he didn't expect to have some skills, and he even fooled me."

He was puzzled again: "Wouldn't this guy be a storyteller before becoming a long history?"

And when he recalled now, Xie Changshi was eloquent, and even if he squished the words tightly, he couldn't get in. But when he thought about it carefully, what he said was all nonsense, not a single word was useful to him.

In the rickety sedan chair, Wang Zhizhou was full of suspicion and thought for a long time, but he couldn't figure out Xie Chuan's purpose.

What is he procrastinating for?
Would it be possible to wait for King Jin to come out by staying in the posthouse and not going out behind closed doors?

Thinking of this, he sneered, and said in his heart: "Whatever your thoughts are, if King Jin could show up, he would have shown up a long time ago. It has been several days, and King Jin's whereabouts are still unknown, either dead or abolished." , the garrison is not vegetarian."

When he got off the sedan chair, he grabbed Cai Zhifu and said, "We'll go tomorrow. We must get Xie Changshi out of the post and bring him to the factory."

Cai Zhifu deeply felt the same: "Don't mention the matter of King Jin anymore, my eyes are going to be swollen from crying."

"You should be crying for King Jin."

The two returned home, ate, drank, washed, and regrouped. The next day, they sounded the gong again and headed aggressively to the post. They secretly vowed in their hearts that they would bring Xie Chuan out. .

I never wanted to go in arrogantly, but came out disheveled again.

Today they didn't mention the king of Jin, but only the smelting field. Xie Chuan talked about how many smelting field accidents have occurred since the dynasty, when the accident happened, how many casualties, and how the smelting field judge, county magistrate, magistrate, magistrate, and transshipment department were treated. Punishment, and other pensions are done well, not only will you not be imprisoned, but you will also be praised by the Holy One, and you will be promoted.

Wang and Cai nodded straightly, wishing Xie Chuan could explain in more detail how the pension was paid, and it was too late to add the pension, and asked Xie Chuan's officials who punished the crime, can they recover later?

Xie Chuan knew everything, and he answered all questions. The careful thinking of these two gentlemen in front of him was like chicken wings, which was not worth mentioning.

After sending the dizzy two away, Xie Chuan took a sip of hot tea, and before he could breathe, the gatekeeper and cook from the posthouse came hand in hand and stood cautiously aside.

Xie Chuanci said kindly, "You two are looking for me but you don't have enough money?"

The cook scratched his head: "Enough..."

The door slammed into him quickly: "It's not enough."

Xie Chuan asked his entourage to take a tael of silver and give it to the cook. After the cook took it, he hesitated, as if he had something to say.

"Is there something difficult for me?"

"Yes," the door slammed into the cook, "Third brother, tell me!"

The cook hesitated for a while, and then said to Xie Chuan: "Mr. Xie, you must not go to Wang Zhizhou's mansion."

Xie Chuan smiled and said, "Why is that? I see Wang Zhizhou's sincere invitation, and I will go soon."

The cook broke his heart and started talking.

It turned out that Wang Zhizhou, formerly known as Wang Kuang, was the most flattering and narrow-minded. They said that the prime minister could hold a boat in his belly, but he couldn't even open a small bench in his belly.

Relying on his own financial resources and backing, he inherited a small part of Zhang Xutang's mantle, and continued to poison the officialdom in Zezhou, eliminate dissidents, and win allies, which is simply the source of pain for the people of Zezhou.

The new official didn't know how deep he was. The previous one was promoted to be the prime minister, so it can be said that the new official took office three times. He was going to clean up the officialdom in Zezhou. Wang Zhizhou invited him to a banquet many times, but he refused to go.

Just when the common people were full of expectations for the criminal minister, hoping that he could return the blue sky of Zezhou, they didn't expect him to be tricked by a beauty first.

It is also mentioned that Mr. Xing is not clean and self-sufficient. Just half a month after arriving in Zezhou, he took in a beautiful and beautiful concubine. That night, the concubine cut off her eggs and became a eggless person. He ran away without a trace.

It was difficult to mention the punishment, but he didn't dare to report to the officials, so he stayed here for a year in desperation, and then managed to leave.

This matter is not known to the public, but the reason why the cook knew was that he happened to be cooking for Xin Ti Xing, and the two eggs were thrown into the meat grate in the kitchen.

The cook gestured at the size of the egg: "It's so big, it scares me into nightmares for a month."

Xie Chuan didn't expect to hear such anecdotes while living here, even more strange than the tabloids run by his son. He asked, "What's the name of the torturer you mentioned?"

"They call him Mr. Ge," the cook thought about it again, "I heard he is a beauty."

"Ge Meiren?" Xie Chuan thought about it, but couldn't think of such a name in the officialdom.

After thinking for a moment, he suddenly realized "Oh".

It's not Ge Meiren, but Kongmu Ge Renmei in the military case.

This is really nowhere to be found after stepping through the iron shoes, and it takes no effort to get it.

Military cases - the names of the generals, generals, and Sipaian soldiers in charge of the government office, the monthly account of treasury affairs, the system of auspicious and unlucky months, the official residence, the relocation of government officials in various states, Xu Shi's replacement, the merits and demerits of the officials in the department, The name account of the three subordinate officials and prisons, shipbuilding, arrest and robbery, fleeing and extermination of household assets, and prohibition of money.

The king of Jin has no soldiers, and is constrained everywhere. If he can start with the military case, even if he only has the name book, it is enough for them to use this name book to drill hundreds of ways.

I am afraid that there will be no such opportunity.

Xie Chuan's heart was agitated, but his face was still smiling. In Xie Zhou's words, he was an old smiling tiger. He thanked the cook for his kindness, and said that he would not live in Wang Zhizhou's mansion again—not only that, but Nor did he accept the beauties he sent.

The cook felt relieved, pulled the door and left together.

The people of Xie Chuan were in high spirits every happy event, while planning their actions after returning to Beijing, while waiting for the news from Su Xiaojun from the capital.

Su Xiaojun led the three peasant women and went through all kinds of difficulties and dangers, and entered the capital at the third watch of the day.

There were as many people chasing and killing them as crucian carp crossing the river, if he hadn't met You Song on the way, You Song and Hou Er acted at the same time to distract the pursuers, he would definitely not have survived in the capital.

Right now, You Song and Hou Er are still running for their lives in the cold wind.

The streets of Jingdu were full of joy, and there were colorful flags and red papers everywhere. Three peasant women shrank their necks and looked to both sides quietly - they didn't dare to look up, for fear that they would be beaten and scolded if they looked at them too much.

They feel that they are inferior to others, and they are afraid that their eyes will be humble and they will look dirty at other people's things.

Su Xiaojun didn't look around, but went straight to the Quemen Drum Division.

In the dark of night, a big drum waited silently.

He stood in front of the drum and did not move until the fourth watch, when the bronze bell of Daxiangguo Temple was knocked fiercely, and the frost bell was so powerful that the whole city was startled.

As soon as the bell stopped, Su Xiaojun rang the Dengwen drum in the dark night, and the sound of the drum was also melodious into the market.
