Previous page        Return to Catalog        Next page

    In the Tuisiyuan Theater, the troupe was accompanying Mr. Xu Ge, who was singing.

    After a few months of nursing, Lao Xujie realized that his body and bones were in good shape, so he became addicted to theater again.

    Today's performance is Liang Bolong's "The Story of Huan Sha", in which he plays Xi Shi.

    ???????????????????????????????????????????????????????

    Just listen to 'her' singing in a high-pitched voice: "The face is like a peach, the waist is weak, and the eyebrows are frowning due to illness. Isn't it because of the lack of spring? Is it because I sleep behind closed doors? I'm afraid of looking at the bees wandering outside the window. The catkins are flying in front of the eaves. I miss the time.  The first day of the Qingming Festival"

    Xu Fan is also in the troupe. He whines and plays the flute, and his level is really not low.

    In addition to playing the flute well, Xu Fan is also good at suona and erhu.

    ???????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????? off off back, he was also a music player, how can he be successful if he doesn¡¯t know how to play two musical instruments?

    The father and son were enjoying themselves. The son, who was playing the flute, caught a glimpse of Xu Ying standing in the distance from the corner of his eye and waved to him vigorously.

    Xu Fan first finished playing a section with peace of mind. When his father read the poem, he handed the flute to the musician beside him and continued to play.

    He quietly left the stage, walked behind the rockery in the distance, and asked his third brother, who was turning blue:

    "What's up?"

    "Lin Run is back. Zheng Yuanshao and Zhong Zhenji have picked him up at the pier and returned to the governor's office."

    "What?" Xu Fan's expression changed, unable to conceal his shock.

    "It's only been six days of going back and forth! After four days of traveling back and forth, he spent two full days in Suzhou. He solved the problem in two days. Did he have some help from the gods?"

    "Yes, it's really evil." Xu Ying even said with a ghostly look on her face: "Isn't he leaving Suzhou alone? Will he come back and fight with us?!"

    He was frightened out of his wits by this speculation.

    "Impossible." Xu Fan shook his head decisively and said: "He couldn't afford the consequences of Suzhou's fall. He must have solved the problem before he turned around."

    "What do those guys like Xu Xu do for food? Why don't you send me a letter?" Xu Ying became an ant on the hot pot.

    "It may be that the city is closed. Don't get into trouble." Xu Fan glanced at his younger brother and said, "No matter what, Suzhou's affairs have nothing to do with us."

    "What if Lin Run makes a fuss about this?"

    "That would be the best." Xu Fan made an explosive gesture and said, "He must be the one who is finished."

    After saying that, he turned around and said, "Stop guessing and wait for Zheng Wang's letter."

    "Hey, okay." Xu Ying wiped her sweat and calmed down.

    ??~~

    In that room, Lin Run returned to the cabin.

    Chang fetched water to serve Master Zhongcheng to wash away the dust.

    Zheng Yuanshao personally presented the white Songjiang cotton towel.

    Lin Run took the cotton towel, soaked it in a copper basin and applied it on his face. Suddenly, he felt that the irritability he felt along the way was gone.

    When he felt refreshed, he invited Zheng Yuanshao to have tea with him.

    "Zhongcheng is back so soon. Things must be going well in Suzhou." Zheng Yuanshao rested his buttocks on the official hat chair and looked sideways at Shangfeng.

    "You can say that." Lin Run nodded and said with a sigh: "It can be considered that Governor Cai handled it properly, and with the help of Jiangnan Company, there was no big trouble at last."

    He said with a self-deprecating smile: "But in order to put an end to the chaos as soon as possible, we had no choice but to punish the public. Many villains went unpunished, and only the group of thugs who led the government fire were captured."

    "There's nothing we can do about it." Zheng Yuanshao hurriedly comforted him: "Human nature is evil, but it is suppressed most of the time. Once a riot occurs, many people will take the opportunity to release the evil in their hearts. It is more of a herd mentality.  We can¡¯t catch all these people who cause mischief, we should still kill the chickens to scare the monkeys and focus on admonitions.¡±

    "Hey, I didn't expect you to be from the 'Xun sect' too." Lin Run looked at Zheng Yuanshao.

    "Mencius's theory is too wishful thinking." Zheng Yuanshao sighed and said: "The higher the tune, the farther away it is from reality."

    "Let's just talk about these words behind closed doors, don't spread them out." Lin Run reminded him with a smile.

    "Yes, you should be careful what you say." Zheng Yuanshao's expression darkened.

    In fact, Lin Run is fine no matter what, but Zheng Yuanshao is not.  Because he was a scholar, in the eyes of officials, he was not good at his studies.

    ??????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????¡­ If you dare to talk nonsense even though you¡¯re not good at your studies, you¡¯ll definitely get beaten up.

    "By the way, do you know who is causing trouble?" Lin Run stopped and brought the topic back.

    "Who is it?" Zheng Yuanshao asked with concern.  Although Su Song's military preparations mainly focused on military preparations,? Also responsible for supervising the administration of Suzhou and Songjiang.

    "A man named Xu Xu was the general manager of the Xu family in Suzhou." Lin Run took a sip of tea and said: "He insisted at first that it was because of his personal grudge with Magistrate Cai that he led his people to burn down the government office. Later, under three trees,  Then he changed his story and said that it was ordered by the Xu family uncle, and the purpose was to lure the tiger away from the mountain."

    As he spoke, he chuckled and said, "Does this hospital look like a tiger?"

    "How can there be" Zheng Yuanshao laughed dryly. In fact, Lin Zhongcheng also had a nickname called 'Jade Faced Tiger'.

    "Then I dare to ask Zhong Cheng, if we want to take action against the Xu family?"

    "Alas, this court really wants to do this, but I can't." Lin Run shook his head gloomily and said in a low voice: "Xu Fan is a third-rank official who kept his crown and returned to his hometown to live leisurely. This court can neither arrest him nor interrogate him.  He can only report the facts of the case. That is beyond my control."

    "The imperial court still adheres to the law, right?" Zheng Yuanshao's face twitched inadvertently a few times, and he said angrily:

    ¡°Burning down the magistrate¡¯s office and inciting citizens to riot are all serious crimes!¡±

    "Yes, but a confession is not enough." Lin Run slowly rubbed his forehead and said: "When the court comes to investigate, Xu Xu will definitely recant his confession and say that he was beaten into submission. By then, we will be very passive."

    As he spoke, he sighed again and said solemnly: "It will even affect Qingzhang's land."

    Zheng Yuanshao nodded frequently and agreed: "Yes, once the court finds out that there is no real evidence, it will think that we are fabricating facts and smearing the Xu family. Then clearing the land will become a deliberate attempt to target the Xu family and harm the country's elders."

    "Yes," Lin Run exhaled a long breath and said:

    "It is now widely rumored that His Majesty deliberately forced Mr. Xu Ge away in order to make room for Mr. Gao. There is sympathy and nostalgia for Mr. Xu Ge from top to bottom. If the court targets Mr. Xu Ge again at this time, in terms of public opinion,  It will be very passive, and may even arouse a strong backlash. Therefore, without ironclad evidence, not only will the Xu family be unable to be affected, but it will also backfire on ourselves."

    "Zhongcheng sees the problem as high-level, and the lower officials can only look at a place as big as Su Song." Zheng Yuanshao looked admiringly listening to the teachings, and couldn't help but feel relieved: "You really can't act rashly at this time."

    "It doesn't matter, the Suzhou problem can be solved so quickly. The Xu family's plan of 'driving the tiger away from the mountain' has failed." Lin Run shook his head, shook off the powerlessness in his heart, and cheered up: "Let's put our energy back to Qing Zhang Mu, east of  If it¡¯s not bright and the west is bright, there will definitely be surprises!¡±

    "Yes." Zheng Yuanshao took out his handkerchief and wiped his sweat, his liver trembling.  The time has finally come.

    ps. Today is another hectic day. I don¡¯t have time to write until after noon, so I¡¯ll update two chapters first.  (Remember the website address: www.hlnovel.com
