Chapter 12 Entrustment
The night was deep, and the rich black covered the sky, as if it was about to rush over the wall.
After Mu Zhengliu sent the service away, he did not go back to the bed, but lit a candle and quietly went to the study. The director and others saw that he was light and had very little luggage. They paid out of their own pockets and prepared several sets of books and a set of four treasures in the study.
Books are the Four Books and Five Classics, which are in line with rules and regulations, and are the most serious.
Mu Zhengliu spread the paper, grind the ink, lifted the pen, and slowly wrote the word Liao.
The door moved, and the shadow on the ground shook slightly.
Mu Zhengliu looked up.
Su Sha was wearing a single dress and stood at the door: "Are you writing elegies?"
Mu Zhenliu shook his head and said, "I only have one meeting with Mr. Liao, and I can't finish writing if I want to write."
Su Sha said nicely: "What's the difficulty? Just write that the official position is neither big nor small, he will never grow old when he leaves, and there are many wives and concubines in the family, and they are hugging each other every day. They enjoy their lives and have no regrets in their death."
Mu Zhengliu said: "Have you checked it?"
Su Sha said nicely: "What's there to check? There are a total of one wife, eight concubines, twelve families, twelve golden flowers, nine married, and three more. One is eight years old, one is six years old, and the other is two years old."
Mu Zhengliu said: "No son?"
Su Shawei snorted coldly: "It's not surprising that the yin in the back house is strong and the yang is weak."
Mu Zhenliu said: "The rumor of the hundreds of thousands of taels of silver notes is true?"
Su Sha said nicely: "I don't know if he has more than 100,000 taels of silver bills. I only know that his salary will not afford the expenses of his wives and concubines."
Mu Zhengliu put his pen, raised the paper and looked at it, then slowly folded it, threw it into the trash candle, picked up the candle and walked out. When he passed by Susha, his steps stopped slightly: "You want to write too?"
Su Sha said nicely: "All civil servants are like you?"
"how?"
"I don't sleep in the middle of the night, so I go to the study to practice writing when I have nothing to do?"
Mu Zhengliu smiled: "Not many people as hardworking as me."
Su Shawei breathed a sigh of relief and said, "Fortunately, there are not many like you."
"What's the solution?"
Su Shawei crossed him with his hands behind his back: "Not everyone around him can speak as well as me after being woken up in the middle of the night."
Mu Zhengliu: "..."
The suicide of the former military weapon bureau chief caused an uproar in Pingbo City! In addition, the rumors that his family exchanged more than 100,000 taels of silver in the pawnshop, all kinds of rumors were rampant. The old military bureau chief's "self-death" was also added with the word "fear of guilt" out of thin air.
The Minister and others came to the yamen early in the morning to inquire about the news and kept saying, "Mr. Liao's move is really surprising!"
Mu Zhengliu told them to be calm and wait for news from the prefect. Although the old commander was from the Military Weapon Bureau, the life lawsuit was the responsibility of the prefect. The person who sent someone to notify the prefect last night was also from the prefect's office.
Such a big incident happened, and the minister and others were not in the mood to deal with official duties, so they sat together and started a long discussion about this matter.
Mu Zhengliu was very calm and sat alone reading the official documents.
After noon, the prefect suddenly sent someone to summon the plaque.
The card room order was startled and asked, "What are you calling me?"
The yamen runner said: "The villain is ordered by the magistrate, but I don't know the rest."
After the Card Room Order was taken away, the other rooms were anxious. Sure enough, not long after, the Crossbow Room Order, the Bow Room Order, the A Room Order and the Miscellaneous Room Order were all taken away one by one. The Miscellaneous Room Order was the last one. After he left, the Minister of the Bureau said in a sad tone: "Sir, it's your turn to be yours and my next turn."
Mu Zhengliu looked up from the book: "Just follow the rules and ask questions, so Master Director of the Bureau should not be nervous."
The Minister of the Bureau lowered his voice and said, "I don't know that this prefect is from Deputy Pavilion Qu."
Mu Zhenliu immediately understood what he meant.
The Deputy Pavilion Qu in his mouth was the Deputy Pavilion Master of Lingxiao Pavilion and Qu Kangyun. In Zhuang Dynasty, only by entering Lingxiao Pavilion can he be called a prime minister. For example, Shen Zhenghe is now the Lord of Lingxiao Pavilion, that is, the Chief Prime Minister, and Qu Kangyun is the Deputy Pavilion Master, that is, the Deputy Prime Minister. Although Fang Hengxie is powerful in the court and the people, his official position is always the Lord of Tianji Palace and cannot be called a prime minister.
Back then, Fang Hengxie had not yet emerged, and Lingxiao Pavilion was controlled by Shen Zhenghe and Qu Kangyun. The two of them were in power and struggled for many years. Later, Shen Zhenghe was rejected by the current emperor and Qu Kangyun was suppressed. In just a few years, Lingxiao Pavilion changed hands several times, and its power was not as strong as before. Fang Hengxi led the Tianji Mansion to open up another world. Lingxiao Pavilion was undermined and was no longer the center of the court.
This time, the King of Southern Xinjiang attacked the imperial city, causing Fang Hengxi to lose his holy favor. Shen Zhenghe took advantage of the situation and reappeared. Lingxiao Pavilion was valued again. Qu Kangyun, who had always kept a low profile, also took the opportunity to make a comeback. The situation in the North Korea and the local forces would naturally be affected.
For example, Pingbo City.
The prefect is Qu Kangyun's person, and is from the Qu family.
The general is a person who is Fang Hengxie, and is a Fang system.
The person who is considered his mentor is Shen.
In addition, because it is directly affiliated with Tianji Mansion, it is directly affiliated with the Military Weapon Bureau under Fang Hengxie.
The water in Pingbo City is simply turbid.
The death of the old commander will become a stone, thrown into the muddy waters, and I don’t know how many people who take advantage of the situation will cause trouble, and I don’t know how many people who take advantage of the situation will mess up the hearts of taking advantage of the situation.
"I just hope to find out the truth as soon as possible and comfort Lord Liao's spirit in heaven." Mu Zhenliu calmed down and corrected his attitude.
The Minister shook his head and said, "Sir, I think too simple. Lord Liao has been working hard for most of his life, and he is just when he is in his prime. How could he commit suicide suddenly? Moreover, less than a day after Lord Liao passed away, the saying of suicide has spread all over the city and it is said seriously. Don't you think it's strange?"
Mu Zhenliu said: "According to the wishes of Lord Director?"
The Minister of the Bureau looked sad and shook his head, "How can I understand the inner world as a little Minister of the Bureau? I am a disciple of Shen Xiang. I have a far-sighted vision, so I can see the long-term future than me."
As he was talking, the prefect sent a yamen runner to take the minister away.
When he left, his face showed sadness of the dead rabbit and the fox, which made Mu Zhengliu's heart thrilled.
"It's a good thing, what kind of separation between life and death is the love between two people?"
As soon as Susha's good voice was inserted, the sad atmosphere was wiped out.
Mu Zhenliu said helplessly: "Why are you staying in the mansion today?"
Su Sha said nicely and resentfully: "Mr. Mu did not issue a task, so I naturally didn't dare to walk around."
Mu Zhengliu glanced at him and said, "When did Mr. Susha become so gentle and obedient?"
The gentle and obedient touched Su Sha's good negative scale. His face immediately changed. He sat on the chair, put his feet on the coffee table, shook, and then put them down and said, "Are you taken away your shrimp soldiers and crab generals?"
Mu Zhengli said: "One more is left."
"Where?"
Mu Zhengliu looked at him.
Su Sha said angrily: "You said I am a shrimp soldier and crab general?"
Mu Zhengliu said: "You prefer to be the Prime Minister of Turtle."
Su Sha said nicely: "Are you still in the mood to joke at this time?"
"Why can't you be in the mood to joke?"
"Your right and left arm has been cut off, so it will naturally be your turn next." Su Sha said nicely, "Now in this world, there are fewer officials who have never been sentenced to unjust cases than those who have never eaten salt. Even if you are Shen Zhenghe's disciple, the sky is high and the emperor is far away. If you go in, Shen Zhenghe will not be able to protect you."
Mu Zhengliu said, "What should I do according to your opinion?"
Su Sha said nicely: "You have two ways, one is to wait and the other is to ask for it."
Mu Zhenliu said with a good temper: "I would like to ask Mr. Susha to give me some advice."
Su Sha said nicely: "Wait, of course, Brother Guangfu who is waiting for you. He is the governor and the patrolman on behalf of the heavens. When he is intrigued, he will not be a big deal to kill a few prefects."
Mu Zhengliu said, "What about you?"
Su Sha pointed at himself well.
Mu Zhengliu said, "Can Mr. Susha save me?"
Susha said nicely: "If you beg sincerely, I will be reluctant to save you."
Mu Zhengliu looked up and saw the ruling yamen runner walking towards the gatehouse. He stood up and said, "Since Mr. Susha is so forced, I'd better wait."
Su Sha said nicely: "I guessed it long ago."
"Um?"
"You are the kind of person who doesn't cry without seeing the coffin."
As he was speaking, the yamen runners had already arrived at the door: "The magistrate asked the yamen to go to the yamen."
Su Sha was shaking his feet, watching Mu Zhengliu walk out calmly, and said leisurely: "You still have time to regret it now."
Mu Zhengliu took out a letter from his arms and handed it to him, saying, "If you see Guangfu, help me give it to him." He paused and said, "If you can't see it, that's all."
Su Sha was waiting for him to leave with the yamen runners, and couldn't wait to tear open the envelope.
There was another envelope inside the envelope, which read: Brother Guangfu personally opened it, Mr. Susha should not be removed.
...
Su Shaya teared the envelope with a cold face and took it apart.
