Cao Min was taken care of, which was a great relief. After Fu Bi took the people away, the news spread throughout the hospital in a short while. Everyone breathed a sigh of relief, as if the clouds had cleared and the dark shadow that had been hanging over their hearts was gone.
, suddenly enlightened.
People are speculating about who reported the matter, who took advantage of the opportunity to commit corruption, and how to organize evidence in the student case Cao Min. In fact, only a limited number of people know about it. Some people think it was Qi Shunbin who did it, because
What Cao Min did almost destroyed the hospital that he worked so hard for and was so proud of.
But Su Jin didn't think so. Qi Shunbin was the kind of person who would do anything for the hospital. The reputation of the hospital was higher than his life. What Cao Min did almost destroyed the hospital, but it was also based on the reputation of the hospital.
It was impossible for Qi Shunbin to expose Cao Min's corrupt, domineering and creeping behavior in the hospital, because this would also bring stain to the reputation of the hospital and himself.
This can also explain why before the student case, Cao Min took advantage of Shu Xiu's opportunity to embezzle a large amount of money, but Qi Shunbin, as the mountain chief, was well aware of this but did not punish him.
Su Jin didn't have time to guess this. He was thinking, what is the purpose of Lord Yan Shu coming to Yingtian Mansion again? To take Cao Min? To reprimand Qi Shunbin? Such a trivial matter does not require Yan Shu to come in person. Facts have proved that even if he came to Yingtian Mansion,
Oh my God, you don't even show your face for such a thing, and it's all handled by Fu Bi.
But for Prince Teng? For Tang Jie? For herself? Su Jin's mind was filled with question marks.
…
At the second watch of the night, the outside of Yingtianfu's official post was heavily guarded. The Third Division's personal guards patrolled back and forth along several alleys around the official post in groups of three. Officials from all walks of life who were waiting to see Yan Shu waited until dark from noon.
When they met Yan Shu, they each got into the car at the end of the watch, cursing fiercely in their stomachs and walked away cleanly.
Su Jin's mule cart was subject to strict interrogation and questioning as it approached the outer perimeter of the official post. The soldiers seemed to have been informed. After Su Jin reported his name, they arrived at the gate of the official post without any hindrance.
Su Jin got out of the car, straightened his clothes, looked at the situation around him, and felt a little drumbeat in his heart. This situation was quite scary. Yan Shu didn't want to be like this when he came to Yingtian Mansion last time.
The servant led Su Jin to the official post. As soon as he entered the second entrance, he saw a tall figure standing outside the main room of the second entrance, looking around. He saw Su Jin rushing to greet him, and said with a smile: "Little brother Su."
You came really on time, the second watch just rang and you arrived."
Su Jin hurriedly raised his hands and saluted, "How dare you not be punctual when your lord is summoned? Brother Lao Fu is here to greet you."
Fu Bi laughed and took Su Jin's arm and said, "Let's go, my father-in-law is waiting for you."
Su Jin held his arm, and his scalp felt numb for a while. He was helplessly pulled by him and staggered forward into the main room.
Pushing the door and entering, the house was brightly lit. Yan Shu was dressed in a black silk robe. He was sitting behind the case talking to a dark and thin middle-aged man. With his short and fat figure and this dress, people who didn't know it thought that
He was a wealthy local man, but he didn't know that he was the Third Secretary of the Song Dynasty.
Seeing Su Jin come in, Yan Shu stood up with a smile on his face. Su Jin hurriedly stepped forward to say hello. Yan Shu chuckled and said, "We meet again. Come, let me introduce someone to you."
After saying that, he stretched out his hand and gestured to the dark, thin middle-aged man sitting at the bottom and said: "This is General Li, the general who is deployed in the German army in Yingtianfu. I'm afraid you don't know each other yet."
Su Jin stepped forward and saluted: "Meet Mr. Li."
Li Gang returned the gift with his hand raised, his eyes sparkling, he looked up and down at Su Jin with a slight rudeness, and said in a deep voice: "So this is Su Xiaoguan, I have admired him for a long time."
Su Jinxin said: I am a nobody, if you say you have admired me for a long time, you are telling a lie to my face. Just as he was about to say a few words, Li Gang continued: "Su Xiaoguan has caused great disturbance in Yingtian Mansion. I have long wanted to see and be honored.
I didn’t expect to see him here at Lord Third Secretary, and he is a handsome young man.”
"Master Li, now you know what it means to be formidable in future generations." Yan Shu twisted his beard and said with a smile.
Li Gang said: "It's true, heroes come from young."
Su Jin showed humility, and the guest of honor took his seat. Fu Bi ordered the servants to serve tea, and then ordered the door to be closed tightly and no one was allowed to come in.
Yan Shu opened his mouth and said: "I invite Mr. Li and Mr. Su to come here today because we have important matters to discuss. To be honest, in this Yingtian Mansion, I am afraid that there are only two people I can trust."
Li Gang stood up and cupped his hands and said: "Why do you say this, sir? I am the one who supports you. In the past few years, although I have led troops outside and am a member of the Privy Council, I am afraid of causing trouble for you, so I don't dare to move around much. Your Excellency, I have orders."
, As long as it does not violate the court's laws and regulations, I will not hesitate to die even if I am a low-ranking official."
Yan Shu chuckled and said: "You are still the same as before. Before doing anything, you always have to say that it does not violate the court laws. You are the same as Bao Zheng."
Li Gang blushed and said: "These are all taught by the old master. I still remember the old master's teachings clearly and dare not violate them."
Yan Shu smiled, then put away his smile and sighed: "Yingtian Mansion has not been peaceful recently. Things have happened one after another. In the past two years, many people in Yingtian Mansion have gone to the Ministry of Punishment to complain about injustice. They would rather be punished than complain about injustice. I am afraid that things here are a bit complicated.
Weird."
Li Gang said: "Sir, please forgive me for speaking frankly. Some people here are making too much trouble. Although I have no authority to manage government affairs, I know all about their activities. Some people receive favors from the Holy One but do not know how to repay them.
On the contrary, they rely on favor to become arrogant and collude with each other. They are like cliques and have some activities. The subordinates have no solid evidence and cannot talk nonsense. The subordinates are very worried. If no one reprimands them for restraining, it may lead to catastrophe.
disaster."
Yan Shu frowned and remained silent. Su Jin secretly said: This Li Gang is a straight man, and the meaning of his words is directed at Prince Teng and Tang Jie. It seems that this person has also noticed some of Prince Teng's dangerous behaviors.
"Master Li is concerned about national affairs, and I admire you very much. I understand what you mean, and to tell you the truth, I have mentioned this matter to the emperor several times. Today's Holy Emperor is benevolent and righteous, and he also cares about the love of bones and blood.
He is reluctant to take any action, and we ministers must also understand the Lord's kind heart; however, this is not a bad thing, but the malignant sore will eventually come out, and when the malignant sore is not broken, the appearance is the same as that of intact skin;
At this time, if you use a knife to dig open, you will certainly dig out the rotten flesh inside, but it will also be heartbreaking, and others will think you are stupid, and you will dig out a good piece of meat until it is pulpy; but once the sore breaks, it will be easy
All you have to do is grit your teeth and squeeze with your hands to drain away the pus and blood, and then clean and apply medicine. The scars will be healed within a few days, and no one will blame you for being cruel."
Everyone here is smart. Although Yan Shu's words are obscure, everyone can understand them. Su Jin tried to figure out who meant these words, whether it was the emperor or Yan Shu. In short, no matter who meant it, maybe
This is the reason why after he sent Zhu Leizi and the two confessions to Beijing, what he got in exchange was a reprimand for not meddling in other people's business.
"Xiaguan has been taught a lesson. The old man woke him up with a few words, but he didn't understand. Should he just let it develop at this time without curbing it? What if the tail is really too big to be lost, even if it can be eliminated in the future?
I’m afraid the price paid will not be small, and the vitality of the people and the court will be damaged.”
Yan Shu nodded and said: "What Mr. Li said is very reasonable. This is why I invited you here today. This time there was a case of a student in Yingtian Mansion. In the end, even Taizu came to Su Xiaoguan in a dream.
The contents of the oath stele in the Imperial Ancestral Temple were made public, and the emperor was very angry in private. However, Yin Tangjie of Yingtian Mansion covered it up perfectly, and actually reported this mistake as a credit, saying that Yingtian Mansion managed it well and won the great ancestor.
Under the blessing of the spirit of heaven, dreaming is an auspicious sign, and what is said is that this matter was announced by Taizu through the mouth of an ordinary student in order to open up the world's public opinion and relieve the concerns of scholars all over the world. The hype was so high that it was lucky for him to speak out.
.”
Only then did Su Jin understand why so many days had passed since the case of the student, but the imperial court had not expressed the slightest sign, nor had Prince Tang Jie Teng been punished or reprimanded. It turned out that these two guys had shamelessly reported the matter as an auspicious sign.
And what they said was so logical that the court could not punish them. They were really not the most shameless, only more shameless. Su Jin even admired them.
Yan Shu continued: "Furthermore, the auspicious notes reported by a group of officials in Tianfu were of the same caliber, as if they were carved from the same mold. Although this move prevented the court from punishing them, it also exposed that this group of people were advancing and retreating together, and they were determined to do so.
The essence of the offensive and defensive alliance.”
Li Gang said: "It's very cunning. That Tang Jie is an old fox. I caught him several times, but in the end he used some method to retract his confession and escape."
Yan Shu smiled and said: "Master Li, if you play tricks with him, I'm afraid you won't be a match."
Li Gang gritted his teeth and said, "Sir, what are you going to do if you want to be demoted this time?"
Yan Shu said: "The Holy One has given a decree to Zhao Zongdan and Tang Jie. One of the purposes of my coming here is to announce the decree."
Li Gang said with emotion: "After talking for a long time, does the Holy One still want to take action? What crime?"
Yan Shu laughed loudly, shook his head slightly and said: "Not only is it not a punishment, but it is a promotion. Now Tang Jie will make a lot of money."
Li Gang and Su Jin were stunned and stunned on the spot.dd
