When Fu Laiqing left here, he could clearly feel that when those people mentioned Song Jinxiu, although they still looked disdainful, their expressions softened obviously. Even Lord He and the others, who had been disgusted by him before, He also never mentioned Song Jinxiu's "reprimand".
Fu Laiqing felt as if he had shot himself in the foot. When he met Cao Dejiang after leaving his job, he was extremely depressed.
Cao Dejiang didn't like to see him look like he was beaten by frost: "What's wrong?"
Fu Laiqing whispered what happened during the day to Cao Dejiang, and after he finished speaking, he got the word "stupid".
Seeing Fu Laiqing staring with disapproval, Cao Dejiang got angry and said, "Aren't you stupid? Song Jinxiu betrayed his old friends, sold the Lu family, and gave up his biological father before he could be reinstated. Everyone in the court didn't know about this. Do you need to carry it?"
"None of those people who can stay under the sect and work with Song Jinxiu are smart people. They will naturally guard against him and isolate him. They will never have a deep friendship with him easily, and they will exclude him from official duties. Even if Song Jinxiu wants to When a person explains and defends himself, no one is willing to listen to a single word more, and instead they think he is becoming more hypocritical.”
"But it's a good thing you made a special trip to set up a stage for him and give him a chance to defend himself."
Fu Laiqing was dissatisfied: "So what if he defends himself? Who will believe him..."
"What do you know!"
Cao Dejiang slapped Fu Laiqing on the head and retracted his strangled neck: "He doesn't need people's trust at all. There is no way to shirk the things he did, but there is no difference between forced and voluntary." There are two different things, he was implicated in the Song family matter, and Lu Zhinian betrayed him first in the Lu family matter."
"He used his own situation to gain sympathy from people, and was cruel to the Lu family, but he also spoke out to defend Xie Yin, who had been friends with him, even though only a few of those people were touched by him and felt that he was not really heartless, and even thought that if they were When they are in Song Jinxiu's situation, what choice they will make is not far away from them accepting Song Jinxiu."
Cao Dejiang looked at Fu Laiqing whose expression changed:
"The people in your Shangshu Province have never been very harmonious with the people in your province. You can't go there for ten and a half days on weekdays. Why did you suddenly go there today and hear Song Jinxiu's words so coincidentally? With you Think about it carefully, that pig’s brain.”
Fu Laiqing was stunned. He had heard that Song Jinxiu had entered the palace and that he had a dispute with someone, so he ran over to watch the fun.
Thinking of what happened before, Fu Laiqing suddenly cursed: "That bitch, he plotted against me?!"
Cao Dejiang gave him a sideways glance: "Song Jinxiu has been in prison for a long time. He is no longer what he used to be. And the fact that he can escape from such a situation shows his ability."
"I know that you have been at odds with him since you were a child, and you have always been very conciliatory about his affairs. In addition, you will target Song Jinxiu even more because of the Yiyang County Lord. But you must know that matters in the court cannot be based on emotions. If you If you continue to be so ignorant, you will be taken advantage of sooner or later."
Fu Laiqing opened his mouth: "Uncle, grandpa, you...how do you know..."
"You are so little Jiujiu. You can't even hide it from your grandmother. Who else can you hide it from?" Cao Dejiang looked at him: "If you want to please this little girl, there is nothing wrong with doing anything. You have to do things that add insult to injury." , do you think that if you step on Song Jin’s feet a few times, this little girl will look up to you?"
"Let me tell you, the Yiyang County Lord is not such a narrow-minded little girl. If you really step on Song Jinxiu to show your favor to her, she will probably think that you are a villain and are arrogant. You don't even think about who is better. I will keep an eye on a down-and-out person and try my best to stomp him to death."
"Or do you like a villain who will retaliate for his anger and add insult to injury?"
Fu Laiqing's face turned pale when Cao Dejiang said that.
He did have this intention. Song Jinxiu felt sorry for Song Tangning. He thought that Song Tangning would definitely hate him. If he could teach Song Jinxiu a lesson, he would definitely be able to please Song Tangning. However, Cao Dejiang's words were like a thunder that struck him. I woke up suddenly.
Cao Dejiang saw him hanging his head in despair, so he stretched out his hand and said, "Okay, let's go."
Fu Laiqing was stunned for a moment and said in a loud voice: "Where are you going?"
"Cumulus Alley, of course."
Fu Laiqing looked up in shock.
Cao Dejiang said angrily: "I made an appointment with the head of Yiyang County earlier to go to her house to discuss matters with her in the next few days. You go with me."
Fu Laiqing was immediately overjoyed. He stepped forward and threw himself at Cao Dejiang: "Thank you, uncle, uncle is the best."
"Get out!"
Cao Dejiang spat.
…
Fu Laiqing has not seen Song Tangning for several days. All the things he asked Mrs. Fu to send were taken back. Song Tangning is a girl and he has nothing to do with her. It is inappropriate to visit her rashly. Now he can follow Cao Dejiang went together to see the person he liked, and Fu Laiqing was so happy that he could not wait to dance.
But when he arrived at Jiuyun Lane, he arranged his hair, tidied his clothes, and nervously followed Cao Dejiang into the gate of Tang Mansion.
Fu Laiqing's face turned green when he walked through the front courtyard and saw Song Tangning and Xiao Yan, who was sitting next to her and looking up at her in a dark green t-shirt.
"Mr. Cao, Mr. Fu Langjun." Tang Ning stood up and welcomed the two of them in: "Why are you here at this time?"
"Didn't you ask someone to ask about the deputy director of the academy earlier? I happened to know a suitable person. He will be coming to Beijing in a few days. I came to tell you. Moreover, such a big thing happened last night. I heard that you also Went to Prince Cheng’s Mansion, this guy was worried about you and had to pester me to come here.”
Cao Dejiang didn't hide it from Fu Laiqing's Xiao Jiujiu. Instead, he pointed it out directly. After he finished speaking, he looked at Xiao Yan: "But why is Governor Xiao here?"
Xiao Yan raised his eyes and said coldly: "Is it strange that the governor is here?"
Cao Dejiang smiled and said: "That's not true, it's just that the incident with Prince Cheng just happened, and many people were arrested up and down the court. I thought Governor Xiao was busy."
"Prince Cheng's affairs will be judged by the criminal department, and those who are imprisoned will also have their place to go. If I have to take care of everything, what's the use of them?"
Xiao Yan lifted his thin lips lightly, and his words were cold: "I have been busy for a whole day and a night, and I finally had to take a break. Unexpectedly, Duke Cao came here." And he brought an eyesore with him!
Cao Dejiang: "..."
Why does he feel that these words are a bit strange?
Cao Dejiang couldn't help but look up at Xiao Yan, and saw that his expression was as usual, still as cold and indifferent as before. Moreover, they had "cooperated" and there had never been any bad feelings.
How could Xiao Yan cheat on him for no reason?
Cao Dejiang just thought that he felt wrong and said with a smile: "It's my fault. If I had known that Governor Xiao was resting here with the county master, I would have come back at another time."
"Then the governor will ask someone to send you two out?"
Cao Dejiang: "??"
Tang Ning: "???"
Xiao Yan glanced at Fu Laiqing expressionlessly, narrowing his eyes to hide the evil spirit in his eyes. When he met the shocked and stunned eyes of his little girl, he twitched the corner of his mouth and said, "It's a joke."
Fu Laiqing: "..."
Seeing that both Cao Dejiang and Song Tangning relaxed, he straightened his back and didn't think it was a joke at all. He always felt that Xiao Yan wanted to cut him with that glance.
