Although Ouyang Xiu understood this, with his experience and maturity, he would not refute Su Jin face to face, and his attention was suddenly attracted by Su Jin's words; as the censor Zhongcheng, his professional sensitivity made him alert to identify that sentence
Unusual words. Fastest update
"Special Envoy Su, I understand your feelings very well and have deep sympathy for you. However, there is no need for the Special Envoy to be so excited. The pure will be pure and the pure will be turbid. The best way to respond to false accusations is to clarify the facts.
, bringing those who spread rumors and slanders to justice is a positive response, rather than giving up on yourself and acting like a child. Judging from the things that the special envoy has done, the special envoy must not be such a stingy person; he cares about everything.
How can a man who has gained and lost break into the bandit's lair alone and capture one hundred of the Bagong Mountain bandits?"
Ouyang Xiu slowly carried Su Jin up the steps and put on his hat at the same time: "The deeds of the special envoy have now become a good story in the capital. When you return to Beijing for business next time, you can go to the teahouse and song shop to listen to it.
Listen, the mission of the special envoy to annihilate the bandits has become a joke among the talkers and a lyrics among the singers. Even Duke Fan of the Northwest and Xianggong Han have not enjoyed this honor; but if you really
Go and inquire, I advise you to dress up in disguise. It is necessary to know that there are rumors in the capital that the special envoy is not only outstanding in courage, but also has a face like Pan An. He is a handsome young man. How many boudoir girls from official families want to see the special envoy but cannot get it.
, if you didn’t dress up in disguise, the streets and alleys on the east and west sides would probably be packed with people.”
Su Jin couldn't help but burst into laughter. This old man Ouyang really knew how to speak plainly, but he actually spoke so exaggeratedly. It had only been a few days since the news spread? How could such a situation happen?
However, Su Jin also understood that this was Ouyang Xiu's words of goodwill. He lost his temper, but the imperial envoy not only did not lose his temper, but also gave him a high hat. This high profile already explained the problem; in fact, Su Jin did not want to be with Ouyang Zhongcheng.
After he knew Ouyang Xiu's intention, he gave Ouyang Xiu an attitude, that is, I, Su Jin, is not to be trifled with. Don't think that I am a soft persimmon. Just be polite to me, otherwise I will give up.
It would be fine if the emperor's oral edict was completely an injustice to him, but the false edict was true, and since someone reported it, it meant that someone had something wrong with him, so Su Jin did not dare to cause a fuss.
Yingtian, after all, he has a tail, and he may be caught by this person with a bigger tail in the future, so he just accepts it and accepts this high hat with a smile.
"Master Ouyang's compliments are not so exaggerated. This... my words were inappropriate. Please forgive me if I offended you. I just couldn't hold back my disgust, so I spoke out loud."
Song Xiang blinked at the sight. This kid was like a chameleon. He was stretching and hesitating. His veins were bulging just now. He yelled excitedly and then admitted his mistake in a low voice. He felt more and more that this person was elusive and his face was worthless.
You must cherish your life and stay away from this person from now on.
Song Xiang was a fool. He didn't ask for face in the officialdom, it was given by others. People carried people in sedan chairs. Su Jin saw through these tricks. Ouyang Xiu understood, Su Jin understood, and even most officials
Everyone knows it, but Song Xiang doesn't understand it; this is why other people's official positions are getting bigger and bigger, while his official position is getting smaller and smaller. If Su Jinlai hadn't helped him this time, after the Yangzhou incident,
If not, he will be demoted to a small county to be the county magistrate.
"Easy to say, easy to say... Hahaha." Ouyang Xiu was very satisfied with Su Jin's performance. He was so young, so why was he like an old man in the officialdom? However, he quickly figured it out. It seemed that there was no shortage of people from the Third Division.
Face-to-face instructions, under the guidance of Mr. Sansi, an old fox, it is strange that this person is not a little fox.
The three people sat down in the hall. Song Xiang ordered tea to be served and the food and wine to be prepared. After a while of fussing, they sat down. Ouyang Xiu drank a few sips of tea, then took out Yan Shu's letter from his sleeve and handed it to Su Jin. At the same time, he asked
: "In what Special Envoy Su said just now, officials in Yangzhou were found to be corrupt. What's going on?"
Su Jin secretly raised his finger. Ouyang Xiu's self-cultivation and sense of smell were not outstanding. He deliberately let it slip and told the matter, just waiting for Ouyang Xiu to ask. Just now, Ouyang Xiu had not asked, which made Su Jin a little disappointed.
At this time, Ouyang Xiu was asking, and the timing was naturally excellent. The attitudes of both parties gradually became more peaceful, from being full of gunpowder to being polite. Only at this time did he hand Yan Shu's letter to him, and then asked seemingly casually.
When it comes to this matter, of course I have to answer it.
Su Jin then told Ouyang Xiu the whole case of Feng Laohu. Ouyang Xiu's face alternated between anger and joy, and his eyes kept glancing towards Song Xiang. He seemed to be wondering why Song Xiang had such a big problem after taking office for nearly three years.
Not knowing anything, I allowed this cancer to grow bigger and bigger.
At the same time, Ouyang Xiu also changed from a little contempt for Su Jin to a different view. Such a thing seemed to be a coincidence, as if Su Jin had unintentionally set off this big case, but why was it that no one could notice the heavy traffic of Beijing officials coming and going to Yangzhou?
What's even more ridiculous is that the annual audit by the Ministry of Civil Affairs is actually excellent. The city of Yangzhou has been in chaos to the point where the people are living in dire straits, but they don't notice it at all?
It would be wrong to say that all of these people are mediocre people. The real reason is probably that these people hide very deeply and do things in secret, but Su Jin was able to detect the problem in just a few days, except for
In addition to being lucky, this sense of smell is also extraordinary; this person has the potential to become an official in Yushitai. Ouyang Xiu suddenly found that he felt some sympathy for Su Jin. In terms of keen sense of smell, Su Jin and himself were quite similar.
Very similar.
It's a pity that Yan Shu, an old fox, took the first step to bring good talents and beautiful jade to his door. Even if he admires someone else's wife, two poems suddenly appeared in Ouyang Xiu's mind: "I wish I could meet you before you get married, and return your beautiful pearl to tears."
"
"Master Ouyang, Master Ouyang?" Su Jin saw that Ouyang Xiu was a little distracted and called softly twice.
"Well... listen, Special Envoy Su, you have done a great job this time. If you can dig out these cancers in one fell swoop, Yangzhou Mansion will be safe from now on. The emperor has often mentioned the matter of government administration to me recently. Your Majesty Hui Jue
Mingcha has long said: Although peace in the world is good, it also covers up many shortcomings. I am afraid that there are undercurrents hidden under this peace, which is really worrying. Now that the Soviet envoy can eliminate corrupt officials in Yangzhou, this is also
This proves the wisdom of the Holy One and it is not unreasonable to worry."
Su Jin smiled and said: "I didn't think that I would have great achievements but not great achievements. I have long read Song Zijing's theory of 'three redundancies and three expenses'. In addition, my family is also a merchant, and I know some of the affairs between officials and businessmen. But to be honest,
If Feng Laohu hadn't obstructed my food service, I wouldn't have touched his tiger's butt. Although so many moths were dug out this time, the price was not small. There were many casualties among the soldiers of the Forbidden Army. Feng
The criminal's minions were stubbornly resisting, so I had no choice but to kill him, and I felt a little panicked."
Ouyang Xiudao: "There is nothing to be alarmed about. The purge of officials is comparable to fighting on the battlefield. If you want to be safe and secure, you can purge everything. That is a fool's dream. It's just that you said that the food has not been found yet, which is really worrying."
Su Jindao: "We have some clues, but we just can't spare the energy to investigate. Now that your Excellency is here, I can transfer the case to your hands for trial. I will complete the food service wholeheartedly and I will recover the food soon."
Ouyang Xiu laughed loudly and thought to himself: This guy has too many tricks up his sleeves. You don't know your purpose when you treat me as an official? Don't you just want to put this big case on me so that I have no time to investigate your affairs?
However, although I understand your intentions, I am willing to accept it. This case is much bigger than yours. I will follow the lead and spread the wind of purge throughout the Song Dynasty. Maybe the opportunity brought by this matter will be available in a few seconds.
It's unspeakable.
Seeing that Ouyang Xiu agreed to accept it, Su Jin felt relieved. Since the court review was unavoidable, it was better to let Ouyang Xiu try the case in Yangzhou, so that he could have more room for maneuver. The main reason was that these officials would definitely tell the story about the military rations.
, compared with being escorted to the capital and speaking out in Yangzhou, it is obviously easier to control the situation in the latter; now the Yangzhou government basically has the final say, and when the time comes for the two parties to confront each other, and find some people to give false testimony to prevaricate, maybe
You can fool it.
When he thought that this matter would inevitably be exposed, the big stone in Su Jin's heart suddenly rose again; How could He Sheng find out Ouyang Xiu's trump card and know what kind of person he was? It would be best if he could design a trap to invite you into the jar and get him.
If you have a handle, things will be easier to handle.
Everyone was chatting and laughing, and Ouyang Xiu never imagined that Su Jin across from him was actually having his own dirty ideas in his heart.
