In the Tui Siyuan Opera House, the opera troupe was playing the accompaniment to Xu Ge Lao who was singing.

After being raised for several months, Old Xu Jie felt that his body was very good and became addicted to drama again.

Today I am acting in Liang Bolong's "The Legend of Washing Shi" and he plays Xi Shi.

As the song "Zhu Yingtai slow" sounds, Xu Ge Lao, who paints makeup and brushes his eyebrows and hair, is wearing a costume of a farm girl, and is holding her heart.

I heard 'she' sing in a sharp voice and sing: "The face is bullying peaches, the waist is timid, and the eyebrows are so sick. It's not because of the spring, why are you lying in a closed door? You are afraid of looking at the bees swimming outside the window and flying catkins in front of the eaves. I think it's time to pass the Qingming Festival..."

Xu Fan was also in the opera troupe. He was sobbing and blowing the flute tube, and his level was really good.

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

After all, he was a Leqing person. How could he say that he didn’t know two musical instruments?

The father and son were having fun, and Yu Guang, the son who was playing the flute, caught a glimpse of Xu Ying standing in the distance and waved to him vigorously.

Xu Fan first finished a piece of music with peace of mind. When his father recited the white lunar calendar, he handed the flute tube to the musician beside him to continue playing.

I quietly left the stage, walked to the rockery in the distance, and asked my third brother who was blushing and said:

"What's up?"

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

"What?" Xu Fan's face changed, unable to hide his shock.

"It's only been six days! He left the journey for four days, and he stayed in Suzhou for two days. The problem was solved in two days. Can he have the help of the gods?"

"Yes, it's so evil." Xu Ying said with a look of ghosts: "He doesn't care about Suzhou anymore, is he? Come back and fight with us?"

He was shocked by this speculation.

"Impossible." Xu Fan shook his head flatly and said, "He can't bear the consequences of the fall of Suzhou. The problem must have been solved, so he can't kill him back."

"What are those guys Xu Xu doing? Why don't you send me a letter?" Xu Ying became an ant on the hot pan in a hurry.

"Maybe the city has been closed down, don't lose your composure." Xu Fan glanced at his little brother and said, "No matter what, Suzhou's affairs can't involve us."

"What if Lin Run made a fuss about this matter?"

"That's the best." Xu Fan gestured an explosive gesture and said, "It must be him who is finished."

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

"Oh, okay." Xu Ying wiped the sweat and calmed down.

~~

In that room, Lin Run returned to the headquarters.

I followed the water to serve the Chief Secretary to wash the dust.

Zheng Yuanshao personally presented a white Songjiang cotton towel.

Lin Run took the cotton towel and soaked it in a copper basin and applied it on her face. She suddenly felt that her irritability disappeared a lot.

When he was refreshed, he invited Zheng Yuanshao to have tea.

"Zhongcheng is back so soon, I guess things in Suzhou will go smoothly." Zheng Yuanshao put half of his butt on the official hat chair and looked sideways at the upper peak.

"So that's it." Lin Run nodded and said softly: "It's also considered that the prefect Cai handled it properly. With the help of Jiangnan Company, there was no big mess."

As he said that, he smiled self-deprecatingly and said, "But in order to quell the rebellion as soon as possible, we can only punish the law without chasing all the people. Many villains were free from justice and only arrested a group of thugs who took the lead in burning the government office."

"There is nothing to do about this." Zheng Yuanshao hurriedly comforted: "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 kind of herd mind that is causing trouble. If you can't catch these people, you should still kill the chicken to warn the monkey and focus on admonition."

"Hey, I didn't expect you are from the 'Xun Sect'." Lin Run looked at Zheng Yuanshao.

"Mencius's theory is too wishful thinking." Zheng Yuanshao sighed and said, "The higher the pitch, the further the distance from the actual situation."

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

"Yes, please be careful of your words." Zheng Yuanshao's expression became dim.

In fact, Lin Run is fine no matter what he said, but Zheng Yuanshao is not good. Because he is a juren, in the eyes of the officialdom, it is because he is not good at academic performance.

If you are not good at studying and dare to speak out loud, you will definitely be beaten up.

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

"Who?" Zheng Yuanshao asked with concern. Although Su Song's military preparations are mainly military preparations, he also has the responsibility to supervise the administration of the two prefectures of Songjiang, Suzhou.

"A man named Xu Xu is the general manager of the Xu family in Suzhou." Lin Run took a sip of tea and said, "He insisted at first that he brought people to burn the government office because of his personal grudge with Prime Minister Cai. Later, under Sanmu, he changed his words and said that it was the instructor of the Xu family, with the purpose of diversion from the mountain."

As he said that, he sneered: "Does this hospital look like a tiger?"

"Where is there..." Zheng Yuanshao laughed dryly. In fact, Lin Zhongcheng also has a nickname called "Jade-faced Tiger".

"Why would you like to ask Zhongcheng whether you want to take action against the Xu family?"

"Oh, our court wants to do this very much, but I can't." Lin Run shook his head calmly and whispered: "Xu Fan is a third-rank official who keeps Guandai and lives in his hometown. Our court can neither arrest him nor examine him, so he can only report the case. That's not something I can control."

"The court, you're still talking about the rules?" Zheng Yuanshao's face twitched inadvertently a few times, and said indignantly:

"Burning the prefect's office and inciting citizens to riots are all serious crimes!"

"Yes, but just confession is far from enough." Lin Run slowly rubbed his forehead and said, "When the court came down to investigate, Xu Xu would definitely turn the confession and say it was a reproach. At that time, we will be very passive."

As he said that, he sighed again and said with a serious look: "It will even affect Qingzhang's land."

Zheng Yuanshao nodded frequently and echoed: "Yes, once the court has no evidence, it will be determined that we are fabricating facts and smearing the Xu family. Then clearing the land of Zhangzhang will become intentional targeting the Xu family and harming the country's old age."

"Yes," Lin Run said with a long breath of turbid air:

"It is rumored now that His Majesty deliberately forced Mr. Xu to move the place for Mr. Gao. The upper and lower levels of people were full of sympathy and nostalgia for Mr. Xu. If the court targeted Mr. Xu again at this time, it would be very passive in public opinion and even aroused a strong rebound. Therefore, without the ironclad evidence, not only would it not be able to move the Xu family, but it would also retaliate against itself."

"The Chief Secretary sees the problem with a high level, and the lower officials can only see Su Song's place as big as that of his own." Zheng Yuanshao looked admiring as if he was listening to the teachings, and couldn't help but relax: "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 to 'tranche away from the mountain' has been declared to be a failure." Lin Run shook his head, shook off the feeling of powerlessness in his heart, and cheered up his spirit: "We will put our energy back on the clear acre. If the east is not bright, the west is bright, and there will definitely be surprises!"

"Yes." Zheng Yuanshao took out a veil to wipe his sweat, his liver trembled. It was time to come, and finally it was still here.
