The third volume of the country is famous Chapter forty-eighth ants He Xi
In the main hall of Qingyun Pavilion, the woman in a fiery red gauze dress came in. Her expression was one-third generous, one-third shy, and one-third charming, attracting everyone's attention.
Such a naturally charming woman suddenly appeared, and everyone present was attracted to her. Many people's eyes were already shining.
But the woman didn't care at all. She faced everyone's gaze gracefully, walked up to Tian Shou, and said Piao Piao Wanfu: "My family is like a flower. I have met the county governor."
After saying that, he stepped back slightly, his clothes were floating, and the fragrance on his body was lingering, and he actually stood side by side with Su Ling.
Su Ling whispered: "Why are you here?"
The person who came was none other than Mu Yanqing.
Mu Yanqing whispered: "If I don't come, can you handle this lawsuit?"
Su Ling smiled lightly and said, "Aren't you afraid that I will ruin your reputation?"
Mu Yanqing spat at him and whispered: "I'm not afraid of any girl's family, and you're still afraid of Le? Besides, you and I acted like that last night, do you still want to end up in a good place?"
The two of them whispered so earnestly, but in the eyes of outsiders, they were very close, and they communicated with each other regardless of the occasion or at any time.
There were already whispers around him, saying that Su Ling was so imprudent and uncivilized.
Tian Shou was also embarrassed for a while, cleared his throat and said: "This lady, who are you, and how can you testify for Su Ling?"
Mu Yanqing raised her head lightly and said softly: "The oiran in Xixiang Garden is like a flower, and the Xixiang Banquet was hosted by my family..."
How come Tian Shou didn't know Mu Yanqing's identity, but he had to ask like this according to the procedure.
Tian Shou nodded and said seriously: "Since you said that Su Ling did not return to Jiangshan Tower last night, where did he go?"
Mu Yanqing smiled, charming all living beings, and said softly: "Master Su moved the slave family with his poem "Dream of Jiangnan", so after the incense banquet, he has been staying in the slave family's boudoir with the slave family."
Tian Shou didn't know which part of his body was missing, so he asked more closely: "One night in one place? What did you do?"
Mu Yanqing's face was crimson, and her face was even more shy and charming, but her voice was extremely clear: "Of course...it was a night of fun...until dawn...just stopped.
."
"Wow--" Everyone was in an uproar.
Some people have already said: "This Su Ling... is so shameless. Even though he has the word "Chiji", such a ridiculous night is really an insult to politeness and politeness!"
Hearing this, Su Ling had no choice but to risk his life, took a step forward and said loudly: "After ten years of sleeping in a red gauze dream, I won the reputation of a brothel! What's weird about you, you haven't been there? But I can't do it? Besides,
, what does it mean to be disgraceful to politeness? A saint will not marry or have children?"
As soon as these words came out, people started talking loudly and the scene was extremely chaotic.
Tian Shou also felt a little embarrassed, so he stopped shouting for a while, and said: "This matter involves the privacy of the people involved. Come on, bring Su Ling and Ruhua to the second hall of the county governor's Yamen. Other unrelated people are not allowed to keep private."
from!"
After saying that, he turned around first.
Du Heng was about to follow, but Su Ling stopped him and said, "You should keep an eye on our luggage at Jiangshan Tower to avoid being framed. I'll come back as soon as I go. Don't worry, it'll be fine."
Du Heng then nodded.
Shen Qian, Yuan Wuqian, and Tian Xu looked satisfied and left laughing.
However, Xue Heng felt a little sorry for Su Ling. He cupped his hands towards Su Ling and said: "Su Ling, I originally wanted to...but I still fell into Shen Qian's plan. If I hadn't spoken out rashly, I'm afraid Xixiangyuan would have been attacked." Nothing will happen..."
Su Ling hurriedly waved his hand and said: "Brother Xue, what are you talking about? Su Ling still thanks you for your testimony!"
The two held hands with each other, and Xue Heng turned around and left.
............
The Second Hall of the Banan County Sheriff.
After Tian Shou and other officers mentioned that Su Ling and Mu Yanqing had arrived, they retreated. Only Su Ling, Mu Yanqing and himself were left in the second hall.
Tian Shou then cupped his hands towards Su Lingyi and said, "Mr. Su, it was just now in full view of everyone that Tian was deeply offended."
Su Ling waved his hand, already knowing in his heart that Tian Shou must have received news from Huang Kuijia or Man Chong, and knew about his relationship with them, so he smiled and said: "County Sheriff Tian is also doing business, how can you blame Su?"
Tian Shou nodded, looked at Mu Yanqing again, and cast a questioning look at Su Ling.
Su Ling hurriedly said: "It doesn't matter, Mrs. Ruhua is one of our own."
Tian Shou nodded and said with some admiration in his eyes: "Oiran Madam is very decisive. Among all the people, her words really show her deep affection for Mr. Su!"
After that, he teased Su Ling: "When Mr. Su soars into the sky in the future, he must not betray the affection of the oiran lady!"
Su Ling and Mu Yanqing both turned red.
Tian Shou laughed loudly and said, "Tian is joking... Since it's nothing, the court lady can go back first."
Mu Yanqing then turned to look at Su Ling. Su Ling nodded and said, "Ms. Ruhua, Sheriff Tian and I are old acquaintances. I'll be fine. Please give me a hard time."
Mu Yanqing was still a little worried and said: "But you didn't just arrive at Binan..."
Su Ling smiled lightly and said, "Don't worry, Mrs. Ruhua, I still have something to discuss with Commander Tian..."
Mu Yanqing nodded, with a look of reluctance, and suddenly smiled at Su Ling and said: "Su Ling, please don't forget what happened between you and me last night and today..."
As he said that, the red shadow moved slightly and walked away slowly.
After Mu Yanqing left, Tian Shou asked Su Ling to sit down again, and he also sat in front of him, and then said: "Master Su, Xu Shao's death is quite strange. I went to Zaofei to report to Sikong, but Sikong's words were unclear. ..."
Su Ling thought for a while, then smiled lightly and said: "Xu Shao's death was obviously deliberately framed. That slanderous word did mean something, but it was just a mistake that implicated me. In fact, his original intention was... ."
Tian Shou didn't hide anything and said in a low voice: "Of course it's Xiao Sikong."
Su Ling nodded and said: "Chief Tian is still aware of everything. It's just that Xiao Sikong was an important minister of the dynasty. How could he attack Xu Shao? Besides, Xu Shao is known as a great Confucian scholar in this dynasty no matter what he does in private. Xiao Sikong It's impossible to kill him."
Tian Shou nodded and said: "Master Su is right, but who exactly killed Xu Shao?"
Su Ling smiled faintly and said: "The murderer thought that his frame-up was perfect, but he didn't know that leaving a message would be a slap in the face. Any murderer who kills someone would still report his family status, unless he is a fool."
Tian Shou nodded and said: "Indeed, but Xiao Sikong didn't explain clearly, and Xu Shao's case cannot be delayed forever. I really don't know what to do. I hope Mr. Su can teach me."
Su Ling had already made up his mind, and said with a smile: "This matter is not difficult. Sheriff Tian, Su asked boldly, if Xiao Sikong is really involved in Xu Shao's case, who will be the most beneficial?"
Tian Shou suddenly slapped his head and understood instantly: "Of course he is Sikong's political enemy."
Su Ling smiled and said: "Come on! It's such a simple question. We all know who Lord Sikong is? How could he not know? I am afraid that who is the murderer, Sikong already has a mirror in his mind, but this matter can affect the whole body after all. , it hasn’t reached the point where we are fighting to the death, Xiao Sikong didn’t explain clearly, but in fact, it’s just to let you drag it on as long as you can, and just make peace.”
Tian Shou's eyes lit up and he said with great admiration: "It's true! Mr. Su has a sharp eye. It's just a curiosity in my heart. Sikong usually has many political enemies, but there are only two factions who can commit such a case."
Su Ling raised her eyebrows and said, "I'd like to hear the details."
Tian Shou did not hide it and said: "The general and those Qingliu."
Su Ling nodded, thought for a while and said: "Shen Jizhou's behavior may be possible, but why is it so superfluous... Qingliu, what is Qingliu, and who is their leader?"
Tian Shou introduced: "This Qingliu is a group of civil servants in the court who claim to be honest and just. They all think that they have been taught by saints and are naturally loyal to the court, so they always go against Sikong and do things to win people's hearts. , headed by Dahonglu Kong Hechen. From the central to the local governments, the power is not small."
Su Ling nodded, smiled faintly and said: "Qingliu, it's possible, but whether it's Qingliu or Shen Jizhou, Sheriff Tian will know if he asks the man named Liu Feng."
Tian Shou put his hands on his hands and laughed and said: "Young Master Su is indeed a great talent. Originally, I was half-believed in the letter from Kyoto, but now it seems that it is true."
While he was talking, an escort quickly came to Tian Shou and was slightly stunned when he saw that Su Ling was also there.
Tian Shouyi frowned and said, "I'm one of you, just say whatever you want."
The police officer then said: "I was secretly following Liu Feng under the orders of my lord. As expected, Liu Feng left Binan City and entered the mountains. The mountain road was so rugged that I was unable to follow him for a while. When I found him, Liu Feng had already been found." He was killed, but he still had a breath of life. When I asked who was in charge, he only said that he was entrusted by others, and he died before he could finish the sentence."
Tian Shou was a little angry, glared at him and said: "It's really useless, why don't you back down!"
After the man left, Tian Shou sighed and said helplessly: "It's good now, there is no evidence to prove it."
Su Ling smiled lightly and looked at Tian Shou without saying anything.
Tian Shou spread his hands and said, "Master Su, can you still laugh?"
Su Ling then said: "Then Liu Feng is dead, and Sheriff Tian can close the case."
Tian Shou was slightly surprised and said: "Case closed? How to close the case?"
Su Ling then said calmly: "Just now, Magistrate Caitian also said that Xiao Sikong's vague words may make you and Xini, so it seems that Xiao Sikong must know to some extent who is the culprit behind this incident. Why is Xiao Sikong I am giving you this secret letter? It is to tell you that he already knows the inside story of this matter, so he asked you to find a way to make it a big deal and make it a trivial matter."
Tian Shou nodded.
Su Ling added: "In that case, Liu Feng's death was caused by someone passing him a pillow while he was dozing off. Sheriff Tian could say that Liu Feng had a grudge because he didn't go to Jiangshan to comment, so he went into Qingyun Pavilion at night and killed Xu. Shopkeepers Shao and He are already dead, and there is no way to recruit them. The students and common people in the world, even if they hesitate, have no choice. Only Shen Jizhou, Kong Hechen, and their party members reacted."
Tian Shou still had some doubts and said: "What if Shen Jizhou and Kong Hechen insist on biting each other?"
Su Ling laughed and said: "They won't let it go? Do they dare? Let's talk about Shen Jizhou first. He is secretly drawing strength in order to compete with Sikong. At this juncture, extraneous things are not what he wants. In this situation, Sikong is clear. His political rival, isn't he the general? So in this matter, Shen Jizhou will just watch with cold eyes and will never intervene. Besides, Kong Hechen and Xu Shao are dead, and there is no evidence of their deaths. The murderer has shown his clumsiness first, and they are still afraid If we continue to pursue the case, we will be embarrassed, so we will retreat and seek peace. Xiao Sikong originally did not want to become enemies with them prematurely. After all, reputation is something that Xiao Sikong will have some scruples about no matter how much he doesn't value it, don't you think so. "
After Tian Shou heard this, he thought for a long time, then stood up and cupped his hands towards Su Lingyi and said: "Young master Su is a great talent, Tian is in awe!"
"The ability to calculate people is beyond elegance..."
............
Ryotai Castle in Kyoto.Night.
The moon is sparse and the stars are pale, and everything is silent.
A mansion.
A middle-aged man, wearing casual clothes, holding a book in his hand, was reading carefully under the candlelight. He also wore a shirt, and his half-length beard under his chin was already mixed with a few strands of white.
The middle-aged man read for a while, then raised his head and said to himself, "You must have ordered others to do it! Why didn't you tell me in advance?"
The shadow of the candle swayed, and there seemed to be a figure in the darkness of the room behind him.
After waiting for a while, he spoke again, with a hint of anger in his voice: "You, you, when will you be able to calm down? You can do such stupid things. Do you think Xiao Yuanche's Sikong is just relying on Did you get it by luck? How many heads do you have that he can chop off? You have also been in high and low officialdom for many years, but you are so short-sighted?"
There was wind blowing through the window, blowing the book he was reading on the desk, making the pages rustle.
The middle-aged man sighed again and said: "Three human lives... Although I don't care about ants... just don't forget what Qingliu is! Doing this will lose the reputation of Qingliu! That's all. .....Only this time, not next time!"
After saying this, he slowly stood up and leaned against the half-open window.
for a long time.
Everything is silent, the moonlight is melancholy, and there are a few dim stars.
A gust of night wind blew by quietly, blowing the clothes behind him to the ground.
He paced, picked up the clothes from the ground, put them on again, and suddenly sighed: "The wind has picked up...it's a bit cold!"
