Needless to say, Inspector Su Song was a small and powerful official, and no one dared to mess with him. Even the governor wanted to give him three points.
As for the Niu Qian incident, Lin Run was unconscious and Zheng Yuanshao was still "crazy". He was already Su Song's biggest official.
Hearing that the two dignitaries were visiting together, Mr. Xu Ge suddenly brightened up. He stood up with the help of everyone and came out to greet him in front of Wanhe Songfeng Hall.
Niu Qianshi and Lin Xunjian happened to arrive outside the hall. When they saw Mr. Xu Ge personally coming to greet him, they both cupped their hands and said, "Congratulations on your birthday, Mr. Guo. I'm late, so I hope you can forgive me."
"Hahaha, you two adults are busy with official duties, so I would be flattered if you could come here to have a glass of wine." Mr. Xu Ge said with a red face, "Please come and take a seat quickly."
"If you two adults feel sorry for me, you must have a drink." Xu Fan also invited me warmly.
"No hurry." Niu Qianshi stood there motionless. "First give the birthday gift to Mr. Ge."
With that said, four officers and soldiers came forward carrying a long wooden box.
"What is this? It's not small."
"It looks like it should be something like a zither or a musical instrument." The guests whispered.
Niu Qianshi didn¡¯t let them guess for long, and ordered people to open the lid of the box on the spot.
There was indeed a lyre inside, but the end of the body was burnt black, which was very eye-catching.
"Wow" The guests couldn't help but praise: "Jiao Wei Qin, what an elegant gift!"
¡°Is this the one collected by the Wang family in Kunshan?¡± a guest asked curiously.
It is said that the "Jiaowei Qin" was made by Cai Yong of the Eastern Han Dynasty. After Cai Bojie was killed, the Qin was put into the royal treasury. Later, during the Northern and Southern Dynasties, Emperor Qi Ming took out this Qin for him to play in order to appreciate the skills of the luther player Wang Zhongxiong.
Later, the piano changed hands several times. When it came to this dynasty, it was said that it was collected by Wang Fengnian, a native of Kunshan, but no one has seen its true appearance.
Seeing the guqin with a blackened tail at this time, the guests will inevitably think of that ancient famous qin.
"This is not the guqin made by Cai Bojie, but made by someone ordered by me." But Niu Qian said honestly.
"That's also very good, Mr. Niu is interested." Mr. Xu Ge stretched out his fingers in a drunken manner, and clinked a string.
"However, the sound of the piano can only be considered as pleasant to listen to, and it is still far from a good piano, let alone the level of Jiaowei Qin.
"Good! What a great piano!" Of course, awkward bragging is inevitable.
"That's great. It seems that I will play the piano more in the future." Mr. Xu Ge was also very happy. In his opinion, the person who plays the piano is affectionate, and Niu Qianshi gave him the piano, which is affection.
"Quick, put it into the hall!" Xu Fan waved his hand, and everyone in the house stepped forward to take the lyre.
"Wait a minute, I haven't finished speaking yet." Niu Qianshi held down the "Jiaowei Qin" and said with a half-smile, "Does Mr. Ge know the origin of this Qin wood?"
"Oh, could it be that it has a great background?" Mr. Xu Ge asked with interest.
"You can say that." Then I heard Niu Qianshi say coldly:
"This piano wood was from the fire last month. I was outside the fire scene and heard the crisp crackling sound of the burning wood. It was very pleasant. I thought to myself that I had encountered such good wood as Cai Bojie. After the fire was extinguished, I looked for I came across this remaining piece of charred wood. I felt like I had found a treasure, so I ordered someone to make this lyre and give it to Mr. Ge on behalf of the governor's Yamen."
"" The smile on Mr. Xu Ge's face gradually solidified, and those guests who knew something about the inside story also showed expressions of shock, confusion, and confusion.
"Mr. Niu is so elegant, I don't want Uncle Cai to be so beautiful" Only those distinguished guests from other places agreed without knowing why at first. As he spoke, he suddenly felt that the air in the yard seemed to have suddenly become colder.
I don¡¯t know when the sky was covered with dark clouds, covering the red sun and clear sky, and bringing a biting cold wind.
The courtyard fell into a deathly silence, with only Niu Qianshi¡¯s voice echoing in the field:
"The result was nothing after trying it, and it was far from as amazing as I imagined. Later I figured out that the sweet sound that night did not come from the burning of wood, but from the sound of the bones of loyal ministers being burned in the fire. The ancients said that the gentleman Ruyu, sincerity will not be deceived by me!"
Xu Jie looked at Niu Qianshi with a pale face. Due to the paralysis of alcohol, his brain turned much slower than usual, and he didn't think clearly about the Niu Qianshi's intention for a moment.
"Haha, Master Niu said it well" Hu Zhi was about to say something to calm down the situation in front of him, but he heard Lin Xunjian speak again.
Lin Pingzhi took out an inscription book from his sleeve, opened it with both hands and said, "I didn't prepare a gift, so I wrote an article to congratulate Mr. Ge on his birthday. His words were straightforward and his words were reckless. Please forgive me.". "
As he spoke, he did not wait for anyone to praise him, but just kept to himself and read aloud:
"My minister, Lin Pingzhi, was ordered to inspect Su Song. It was discovered today that Xu Jie, a bachelor who became an official and a junior master, indulged his family, annexed private fields, fish and meat villages, and harmed the country and harmed the people."
"Lin Pingzhi! Even you want to make trouble for my father's birthday party?!"
Xu Fan finally couldn't help but shouted loudly, pointed at Lin Xunjian's nose and cursed: "Have you forgotten who promoted you to be the Xunxun Su Song? He is just a dog, and you should wag your tail even if you feed him bones. Rather than bite back!"
"Xu Fan, stop spitting blood!" Lin Pingzhi's face twitched, and he retorted righteously: "As a patrol censor, I am a minister who patrols hunting on behalf of the emperor. Naturally, I am appointed by the emperor. When will you be in charge? Can the band also act on behalf of the emperor?"
Xu Fan was stunned by him. Before he could reply, he saw Lin Xunjian taking out another memorial.
"Don't jump in a hurry, there is another book for you! This court is going to impeach you for instructing your minions to burn down the granary, dig levees, and besiege the governor. You should think about how to defend yourself!"
Xu Fan was stunned immediately. He couldn't say that digging the embankment was a matter between Lao San and Xu Bangning, and I didn't even know about it.
Just when he didn't know what to do, he suddenly heard a cry of surprise from everyone around him.
"Mr. Ge, what's wrong with you!"
"Mr. Cunzhai!"
Xu Fan looked back and saw that his old father had fainted in Hu Zhi's arms.
¡°Father!¡± He screamed and rushed forward to check.
Niu Qianshi and Lin Xunjian watched the scene where Mr. Xu Ge collapsed.
¡®Damn it, you used too much force¡¯ The two of them couldn¡¯t help but feel a thump in their hearts, and couldn¡¯t help exchanging glances.
Come on, what are you waiting for? If the Xu family comes to their senses, it won't be worthwhile to kill them in Huating.
Niu Qianshi then snorted and said, "Then I won't disturb you all."
"Farewell." Lin Xun also lowered his hand.
After saying that, the two of them turned around and left.
"My father's life and death are still uncertain, and you just want to leave? It's not that easy!" Xu Fan's eyes were red, he raised his head and shouted: "Today, my father has something wrong with him, so you two just wait to pay for it with your lives!"
As soon as these words came out, all the Xu family members in the garden rushed forward one after another, surrounding the two adults and their escorts in the center.
Finally, heavy raindrops fell.
