Seeing that Xu Han didn't answer for a long time, Xu Youdao already knew the answer in his heart.
Xu Hanliang originally thought Xu Youdao would be angry because of this, but unexpectedly a smile appeared on his face.
"Actually, I don't want you to be an official. It's too dangerous."
Xu Hanliang was confused when he heard Xu Youdao's words.
"Father, I have one more thing to ask you when I come here this time."
Since he didn't understand, Xu Hanliang did not continue to ask, but led the topic to other aspects.
"What?"
Xu Youdao was slightly startled.
Xu Hanliang then asked: "I helped Changshu County Magistrate handle a case before, which belonged to Magistrate Sun Yuan. This matter involved the previous water transport case. Can you..."
"You don't need to ask more about this matter, it has nothing to do with you."
Before Xu Hanliang could finish speaking, Xu Youdao interrupted Xu Hanliang's words directly.
"What?"
Xu Hanliang was a little puzzled.
Xu Youdao's eyes suddenly became evasive: "This matter is very troublesome, so don't ask any more questions."
"But."
Xu Hanliang was slightly startled.
"There's nothing wrong with that."
Xu Youdao shook his head and continued.
Before Xu Hanliang finished speaking, there was a sound of footsteps at the door.
"How did you get in?"
A rather serious voice sounded, making Xu Hanliang turn his head.
The man in front of him was wearing an official robe and looked domineering. Xu Hanliang happened to know this man. He was Hou Gu's father, County Magistrate Hou.
"There is nothing in the laws of the Song Dynasty that prohibits visitation, right?"
Xu Hanliang glanced at County Magistrate Hou and said calmly.
"You are really brave. Naturally, such repeat offenders are not allowed to visit."
Magistrate Hou glanced at Xu Hanliang and said coldly.
After saying that, he looked at the yamen servant behind him and said, "Hurry and drag him out."
"My husband is the new Jie Yuan, what are you going to do?"
The young mother panicked slightly and stood in front of Magistrate Hou.
"Jie Yuan?" Magistrate Hou was stunned for a moment, then burst into laughter.
"Don't I know what Xu Hanliang is capable of? You are a newly promoted Jieyuan. I think you are cheating. In addition to bribing officials, you have committed another crime of cheating this time. Get rid of it!"
Magistrate Hou's face darkened and he spoke immediately.
While they were talking, several officials were already surrounding him.
"Hou Yuelang, I will go to Beijing tomorrow, is it possible that you still want to embarrass my son?"
Xu Youdao snorted coldly and looked at Magistrate Hou.
Magistrate Hou, who had a cold face at first, snorted coldly after hearing these words: "Mr. Xu County, what do you mean by embarrassing your son? Am I not handling the matter impartially?"
Seeing this scene, Xu Hanliang did not resist.
However, the magistrate obviously had no intention of operating on him, so he immediately let him go after escorting him out.
Xu Hanliang originally wanted to ask some things, but at this time he couldn't say them at all.
However, he could also see that the relationship between the magistrate Hou and his father seemed a bit strange.
He clearly remembered that back then, the magistrate Hou liked to be brothers with his father, and the relationship between the two seemed to be very good.
Now even if his father suffered such a disaster, he would not be able to treat his father like this.
Coupled with what Xu Youdao just said, it is even more thought-provoking.
"Lang Jun, what should we do next?"
The young lady raised her head and looked at Xu Hanliang, muttering.
"Go back."
Xu Hanliang glanced at the prison behind him and said slowly.
Although he is Jieyuan who is respected by everyone outside, this does not mean that Xu Hanliang has any real power.
It's just that in the eyes of others, Xu Hanliang will have real power in the future, so he doesn't want to offend him or invest in advance.
Now after meeting the officials, Xu Hanliang realized that this Jieyuan was useless in front of the officials.
No matter how good a question writer is, he still needs to monetize his work.
Hearing that Xu Hanliang wanted to go back, Zhimian was a little surprised: "Tomorrow, the master will be escorted directly to Beijing. Why don't we follow him and take a look?"
"This is the attitude of the magistrate today. Do you think we will be able to see it tomorrow?"
Xu Hanliang shook his head.
He originally thought he would stay here for a day, but after seeing this situation, he gave up the idea of staying here.
Although he doesn't know these things, it doesn't mean that others don't know them.
"Go back to Changshu."
Xu Hanliang said coldly.
After returning to the inn, Master Li was also confused. He didn't know why he wanted to go back just after he came here.
But he didn't say anything in his heart, he lowered his head and followed Xu Hanliang.
The Bianjing Imperial Palace is thousands of miles away.
A middle-aged man was lying on the couch, admiring the new calligraphy and painting in his hand, and next to him were stacks of memorials.
Perhaps it was because after watching the man yawn, he casually picked up the memorial beside him.
""The Record of Clearing Wrongs"?"
Looking at what was written in the memorial in his hand, the middle-aged man was a little confused.
With a feeling of doubt, the middle-aged man continued to read, and the more he looked, the more interesting he became.
"This book is really good, but it was actually written by a scholar."
After reading the cases in the memorial, the middle-aged man nodded repeatedly.
This made the eunuchs who were waiting on the side a little confused. Officials had always been interested in poetry, calligraphy and painting, but who knew that they suddenly became interested in memorials at this time.
"Daofu, do you know about Xu Hanliang?"
Zhao Ji looked at the eunuch beside him and asked slowly.
"Xu Hanliang?"
When the eunuch heard this, he felt a little confused.
"This is a memorial submitted by Han Zhi. It seems interesting. It is a book written by a folk literati. According to Han Zhi, if this article is adopted, it will make the Song Dynasty less famous.
Fewer unjust cases.”
Zhao Ji looked at the memorial in his hand and said with a smile.
"Since he is a talented person, then His Majesty can just appoint him."
Tong Guan on the side agreed.
Zhao Ji shook his head: "However, Han Zhi said that Xu Hanliang has no intention of pursuing an official career for the time being and is just a scholar. Let's wait until later. However, this book "The Record of Clearing Wrongs" can be used."
Compared with the mediocrity in the later period of his administration, Zhao Ji still wanted to make some achievements at this time.
"Although the official book "The Record of Clearing Wrongs" is good, I have something better in my hands."
Tong Guan looked at Zhao Ji and smiled faintly.
"Oh? What did Dolph bring me again?"
Upon hearing this, Zhao Ji suddenly became energetic.
After Tong Guan smiled mysteriously, he said: "The painting "Jiang Fan Attic" by the former painter Li Sixun is at home now. I will bring it to the officials for appreciation tomorrow."
When Zhao Ji heard that it was a painting, he immediately became interested: "It's very good. You know what I'm thinking."
He shook the memorial in his hand and didn't pay any attention to it anymore.
