Everyone on the bunk seat turned their attention to Xu Hao. Xu Hao had just exchanged glances with Fu Rong. At this time, he finally stood up and stood up. After saluting several Shangguan officials, he cleared his mind. The voice briefly told the origin of Xu Xun, then talked about the calligraphy on Qingping Tower, and finally told the reason for the change of Xu's ancestral hall. Fei Kai's face looked good at first, but when he heard Zhao Qin actually had a hand in Xu's family affairs. Fei Kai's face looked a little unnatural. Xu You couldn't help but glance at Fu Rong and then raised his voice.
"At that time, I felt that it was too much for my clan brother to lead a group of elders to bully an orphan who had lost his parents. Unexpectedly, Mr. Zhao came out to question his life experience. After some debate at that time , Xu Xun then revealed the truth, but he had donated an entire acre of land, first to build water conservancy projects, and second to renovate the tribute courtyard. Such a virtuous heart at such a young age should have been greatly praised by the court. , Unexpectedly, Mr. Zhao actually grabbed a little boy servant next to him and refused to let go. If Eunuch Fu hadn't sent someone to come forward, he would have dismissed even this kind act!" Just now in the court, Jin Yiwei assisted thousands of households in Fusi, North Town. The fact that Li Yifeng was ordered to come to investigate Zhao Qin had already been revealed. At this time, everyone knew that Xu You, who had joined the team early, simply beat the dog in the water and put Zhao Qin and the Xu family's house in the same category.
At this moment, except for Fei Kai and Peng Li who were involved with Zhao Qin, most of the civil servants frowned. While praising Xu Xun for his learning and philanthropy, they couldn't help but pity the orphan's situation; military men like Zhu Fu or Eunuchs like Zheng Qiang couldn't help but appreciate the strong-willed people who were willing to let go. Therefore, before the complainant Xu Xun came in, the whole hall was filled with admiration.
Although Xu Tu helped Fu Rong a little in the Imperial College, he did not expect that the situation would change so drastically. At this moment, he regretted that he had stood by and watched. Naturally, he did not hesitate to express his praise: "This young man I've seen you, at such a young age, be so generous in disciplining those rich families who have millions of dollars but nothing to lose!"
"Isn't it?" Fu Rong looked around at everyone with a smile, and his eyes intentionally stayed on the faces of Fei Kai and Peng Li for a moment. "I'm not afraid of your jokes." My house in Heng'an was run over by someone some time ago. After drinking too much, he fell into the river. If Xu Xun hadn't jumped into the water and rescued him, his life would have been almost lost! At that time, the Xu family was injured by a few ruffians. The injury was not healed. For this righteous act, our family held a banquet at Qingping Tower to thank him last time.
Zhao Qin, a Nanke official, actually got involved in the Xu family's affairs. As far as our family knows, it seems that he was doing it for Xu Xun's hundreds of acres of land. It's ridiculous that they donated it, but he refused to give up and kept pestering him. How could he return the favor? Like a scholar, sweep the floor gracefully!"
"Eunuch Fu is absolutely right!" Zheng Qiang had to keep a low profile behind closed doors these days. He was already panicking. If he had such an opportunity to fight back today, how could he let it go? He immediately sneered, "Zhao Qin’s bad deeds haven’t lasted more than a day or two, and I don’t know how those who are friendly with him can turn a blind eye and ignore him!”
The Duke of Cheng, Zhu Fu, was originally concerned about matters that had nothing to do with him. However, he accepted Fei Kai's request and sent troops. Now seeing that both Peng Li and Fei Kai looked bad, he had to cough dryly. He smoothed things over and said, "Since someone knows Xu Xun, I'll ask Officer Shen to pick up the petition and we'll try it together in the future. We have urgent matters right now. It's not too late to put him down first."
"Wait a minute."
As soon as Zhu Fu finished speaking, this sound came. Everyone looked up and found out that it was Wu Xiong, the Yin Prefecture sitting on the main seat. Although Wu Xiong was sick, everyone present had a higher official position than him.
Several "But Yingtianfu Yamen is dominated by Wu Xiong after all, and even Peng Li was very unhappy for a while."
Fei Kai also secretly hated Wu Xiong for being so troublesome, but he could only listen to what he said.
Although Xu You was not a formal Jinshi, and his promotion experience was through the Wei Guogong Palace, Wu Xiong was more talented and was very satisfied with Xu You's writing skills. In addition, Xu You occasionally made comments.
In his heart, today when there was a lot of trouble outside, everyone was thinking about how not to disturb the sick governor, but Xu Yuan asked him to take over the case as soon as he came, and he naturally fell in love with him again.
As he listened to everyone's words, he gradually developed a bit of love for Xu Xun.
"Let Xu Xun come in. He was originally one of the victims of what is being discussed today, why not listen to what he has to say!" Without waiting for anyone to object, he said sternly, "The hundred or ten people were making a noise just now.
I wanted to see him, but in case something happened, I could only tell him to go down and settle him first. Now he is the only one, and he is known to both Eunuch Fu and Wei Guogong, and he is related to Xu Qiancheng, so it won't hurt if we meet him!
Besides, the incident of the Wende Bridge on the Qinhuai River has been widely spread today. Most of you are like me. We can be called the parents of Nanjing City in the Ming Dynasty. How can we treat it as a mere trivial matter?"
With Wu Xiong's words, Shen Tuiguan quickly saluted and went out. When he arrived at the main door, he saw that Xu Xun was still standing there as straight as when he left, so he changed his clothes.
A smile that was far more cordial than before.
"Xu Zhu, Wu Dayin and other gentlemen want to see you, come in!" Although Xu Xun guessed that there might be other big bosses in Yingtianfu Yamen at this time, Shen Tuiguan's statement undoubtedly confirmed his guess, coupled with the other party's unusual behavior
With a warm attitude, he immediately bent down to thank him, and then followed Mr. Shen in. Along the way, he saw that Mr. Shen was not doing business, but deliberately slowed down his pace. He was only half a step ahead of him, and he was talking secretly.
Lin Linzongzong counted all the big guys in the lobby. He knew that the other party meant to remind him, so he said something softly when he was approaching the lobby.
"Thank you very much, Mr. Shen, for your kindness. If you are able to do so in the future, I will repay you generously!"
Shen Tui, an officer with many years of experience in prison, has sharp case-handling methods, but is naughty. He went all the way just to sell personal favors. Seeing that the other party understood, he was very satisfied. After thinking for a moment, he reminded the last and most important sentence:
"It just so happened that the imperial court had decreed that Li Yifeng and Li Qianhu, who were co-managers of Beizhen Fusi, were sent from the capital to investigate the case of Zhao Qin in the Engineering Department. If you have any grievances, you can speak freely and there is no need to hide them."
As expected, an imperial envoy came to the capital, and it was on such a critical day!
During this whole day, Xu Xun experienced the most ups and downs in his life. Hearing this was not so much a relief as a feeling of emotion. However, when he followed Shen Tuiguan into the lobby threshold, he immediately put away his words.
Those with scattered thoughts came forward to pay homage according to the etiquette.
Fortunately, compared with what he imagined he would become, it was only after kneeling down. The gray-haired old man sitting on the main seat took the lead and said, "This is not in court." Get up and speak."
The so-called observation of people cannot be separated from observing their appearance, observing their words and deeds, and observing their demeanor and response.
Wu Xiong has met countless people in the officialdom for many years, and seeing Xu Xun's salute movements is like flowing clouds and flowing water, it is pleasing to the eye." After hearing this, he stood up and stood calmly, but he was neither humble nor overbearing. When he asked a few words casually, he was only fifteen or sixteen years old.
The young man not only responded well, but also spoke fluently and fluently." He couldn't help but nodded, looked at Xu Tuo and said: "After all, he is the junior you have chosen, not bad."
Wu Xiong's praise of Xu Xun and Xu Gao could not be taken to heart, but he could not help but take it to heart, and he was overjoyed for a moment. Fortunately, he had been involved in officialdom for some years, and he knew very well that this
I couldn't put my happiness on my face, so I quickly said a few words of humility.
Unexpectedly, at this moment, Peng Li said as if unintentionally: "If it is according to Xu Xun's previous words, doesn't Xu Xun no longer belong to the Xu family in Taiping?"
Chu then said slowly and calmly: "My elders are unkind, and the eldest son of the Xu family is actually colluding with outsiders. He is not qualified to succeed the clan. I think we should choose another worthy person."
As for the matter of being the first to come out of the clan, of course it doesn’t matter..."
At the beginning, Xu Xun did not hesitate to spend all his family wealth to get rid of the Xu family. When Xu Chu opened his mouth, Xu Xun was afraid that his good intentions might lead to bad things. Just as he was about to speak, Fu Rong coughed lightly.
"There is indeed something unclear about Xu Xun's life experience. What has happened in the past is in the past. Now business is more important." Qing Qingqiao changed the subject, and he asked Xu Xun as if he were the guest, "Xu Xun,
You just played drums outside the Yingtian Mansion Office and said that the Zhao family forced the marriage, so you forced your fiancée to commit suicide. Did you hear this or something?"
"I saw it with my own eyes."
Seeing that everyone was listening attentively, Xu Xun immediately told how he got to the Shen family, how he got the news, how he walked along Gongyuan Street from the Shen family, how he saw Miss Shen jumping into the river, how he jumped into the river with others to save others, how he saw those
People picked up the phoenix crown and the pieces of jewelry, but there was no sign of anyone... He was naturally very eloquent and spoke vividly. When he got emotional, even his own eyes turned red, let alone
Others who heard Shen Yue's words at this time.
"What a fierce and fierce daughter of the Shen family..." That Zhao Qin is really a bastard!"
Fu Rong opened his mouth and cursed, then without even looking at the spears, daggers and Fei Kai who were sitting on pins and needles in the other compartment, he looked around at the crowd and said: "This Yingtian Mansion has not commended those who have performed well for many years. Isn't Shen's daughter a good person?"
Should I report it to the imperial court for praise?"
Peng Li, the governor of Southern Zhili, immediately frowned: "What Eunuch Fu said is too childish? I heard that the Shen family broke out and did all kinds of illegal things..." "Oh, so Zhao Qin connected with the Shen family.
He doesn't care about the illegal things he has done, and wants to marry Shen's daughter as his daughter-in-law... Hey, in this case, isn't it self-evident that he is planning to seize other people's property?" Fu Rong caught Peng Li doing this.
He immediately grasped the flaw in his words, "Furthermore, if he knew about it but still forced the Shen daughter to marry, then the forced marriage through blackmail would be confirmed!"
Zheng Qiang also helped: "Yes, even if the Shen family has some small crimes, as long as it is not a heinous crime, and having such a strong daughter, it will be worth it!" After Wu Xiong asked, Xu Xun
I never found a chance to speak, so I could only look at the audience
