"hiss!"

Taking the unconscious Xuan Niang back home, Di Jin introduced the general situation of the case.

Di Xiangling, who has always been fearless, couldn't help but take a breath after hearing this: "So the current emperor has such a life experience... Did Guo Chengshou tell you?"

Di Jin took advantage of the situation and said: "My relative does know a lot of things, but it is not convenient for him to know about this..."

It is not a secret that Zhao Zhen was born in a certain class, but it is not known to everyone yet. Women from the Jianghu family such as Xuanniang Zhu obviously don't know about it. He is from Bingzhou and shouldn't know about it. Fortunately, Guo Chengshou exists. , otherwise it is not easy to explain.

Di Xiangling asked again: "Does Thunder Tiger know the real purpose of arresting Zhu?"

"He must not have known about it before, otherwise he wouldn't have let me get involved and leave safely..." Di Jin thought for a while and said, "But now that the Zhu family is in his hands, it's hard to say, but this person is extremely shrewd. , it may not lead to trouble, he should hand the person over directly!"

Di Xiangling hesitated: "Then can we cooperate with Thunder Tiger?"

"No!" Di Jin shook his head: "Even if Leihuhu doesn't know the inside story, one thing is definitely clear. The Imperial City Secretary is so nervous to arrest Zhu this time because it is the palace's intention. The Liao spy is most likely to be guilty. It's slander, he is cooperating to confuse right and wrong, how can he easily resist his fate?"

"Captain Pan?"

"His character can be trusted, but his official position is too low after all, and he is a local county lieutenant. He is not qualified to participate in such things because of his emotions and reason!"

"Then there is no one we can rely on in the officialdom. We still need the chivalrous people in the world to take action! I will go and gather people right now!"

Di Xiangling asked this, obviously losing confidence in the court and preparing to follow his own Jianghu style, but Di Jin said: "There is another person, I have only heard about it before, but his influence on the Yangqu criminal case is actually very huge …”

"who?"

Di Jin said: "Du Gongyan is responsible for some criminal and prison matters on Hedong Road! Pan County Lieutenant told me that this Du Tixing has made great contributions to prison management and has repeatedly clarified local unjust cases. He is a capable minister!"

He did not completely believe in Pan Chengju's judgment, but he was prophetic about history and knew Du Yan, a famous official in the Northern Song Dynasty and the future prime minister.

Among the high-ranking officials of the Renzong Dynasty in history, who was best at the method of punishment and imprisonment was not Bao Zheng and Bao Qingtian, who was famous in later generations, but Du Yan, who was good at solving cases and was impartial and selfless.

When he was an official in various places, he was able to see clearly and try his best to correct unjust, false and wrong cases. Later, when he joined the Ministry of Punishment, he made many innovations in legal provisions and tried his best to eliminate civil abuses, so that his reputation for uprightness spread to the outside world.

A major goal of the Qingli New Deal was to reform the civil service and curb the emperor's "favor", that is, bypassing normal procedures and directly issuing edicts to reward and promote officials. As a result, favors were repeatedly offered to Renzong, and when the official refused to save face, It is also strange to use Du Yan as an excuse, saying that Du Yan did not agree, so he could not surrender to the official.

It has to be said that it is good news to have such a famous official sitting in Bingzhou and appointed as the punishment officer of Hedong Road. The level of the punishment officer is enough to participate in such an incident. Du Yan will not be afraid of the Imperial City Secretary. of despotic power.

With the target in mind, Di Jin said in a deep voice: "The question now is, first, how do we contact Du Ti Xing and successfully convince the other party of the whole story of this case?"

Di Xiangling pointed at the unconscious Xuan Niang: "Take her with you, she is a witness!"

"Ms. Xuan is not the Zhu family after all. Many things in the palace cannot be explained clearly. What she said alone is actually not enough to win the trust of an outsider..."

Di Jin sighed: "And this also involves the second issue. There are many informants on Lei Hu's side. With such a conspicuous target, we are in contact with the execution officers all the way. If the news reaches their ears, the other party will have If you are not prepared, it will be very disadvantageous in the future! People still have to hide, sister, you find a hidden cellar and store food and water..."

Di Xiangling said: "This is easy to handle. Now that the Lei family is no longer searching, it is easier for me to move. What do you do over there?"

"I also have a way to contact Duke Du openly!"

Under his sister's curious gaze, Di Jin apologized in his heart: "I'm sorry, Uncle Yan Tong~"



"A new song with new lyrics and a glass of wine, the weather is the same as last year. When will the sunset return? Helplessly, the flowers fall away, and the familiar swallows return. The fragrant path in the small garden wanders alone."

Guo Chengshou picked up the paper on the desk, recited it once, and then tasted it silently. His eyes were as big as an ox, and he muttered: "Shilin! Shilin! Is this a poem you wrote?"

Di Jin walked in slowly with a scroll and said something ambiguous: "This poem is based on several poems from the former Tang Dynasty. It's just a little emotion. Isn't it quite the charm of Yan Xianggong?" ?”

"Beautiful and natural, unrestrained and leisurely, it is indeed like Yan Xianggong's style..." Guo Chengshou nodded, and then tasted: "However, when we miss the spring and cherish the time, we are sentimental about the fleeting years, and it has endless meanings. Wonderful! Exquisite!"

Di Jin silently spread his hands.

With his thick eyebrows and big eyes, he still copied the text after all.

Of course, he did not copy randomly. After in-depth study of Xikun style over the past few days, he became qualified to copy.

Yan Shu is also one of the representatives of Xikun style. The richness and nobleness of his gestures are the most exciting point of Xikun style. With this style, he can dominate the imperial examination poetry.

As for this song "Huanxisha: A New Song and a Cup of Wine", Yan Shu has not written it yet. He will not be inspired by it until he is demoted to Yingtian Mansion in the future, so he will borrow it now.

Sure enough, the more Guo Chengshou read, the more he thought about it, and he was full of praise: "Such poetry cannot be appreciated alone. We should invite talented people from Bingzhou to hold a literary conference!"

Di Jin said: "How about presenting it to the envoy Du Gongyan first?"

Guo Chengshou was slightly startled: "It's feasible..."

Du Yan was a Jinshi in the first year of Dazhong Xiangfu. He was ranked fourth in Chuanlu. He was good at poetry and calligraphy and was highly regarded by the world. If we say that Bingzhou today has a scholar whose literary talent surpasses Du Yan, it is still There are really not many people who can really ask him to taste it.

But what makes Guo Chengshou feel strange is that Du Yan, as a Lu first-level criminal officer, hurriedly invited to see him, even if he had good words, it seemed a bit deliberate. As a person, he didn't seem to be so obsessed with literary fame!

Di Jin said seriously: "Brother Wuxie, if you have the connections, I hope to recommend this poem to Duke Du and arrange for him to meet me alone."

Guo Chengshou vaguely understood and responded sternly: "Please rest assured, Shilin, I will try my best!"

Di Jin said: "Then I will wait for the good news. There are some important things these days. I might not be able to come to the academy and ask for leave from Brother Wuxie."

Guo Chengshou resumed his usual chic posture, picked up the Huanxi sand, and sang a cappella again, with a look of intoxication on his brows: "Go! Go! It's enough to have such wonderful works by my side! Haha!"
