The two looked at Xu Ying who broke in in a panic, especially Xu Ying's fear that could not be concealed in her eyes. How could they still not know who caused the incident?

"I have met my father, and I have met Lin Zhongcheng!" Xu Ying swallowed hard and immediately saluted the two of them.

Lin Run nodded slightly to Xu Ying, then turned his head to look at Xu Jie next to him.

Xu Jie took a sip of tea first, but raised his head and scolded him sternly: "You are here! You are so panicked, what kind of decent style?"

"Dad taught me a lesson, I don't dare to do it again next time!" Xu Ying originally arranged people to intercept Lin Run at the intersection to explain everything, but now seeing that the matter is about to be exposed, he also pretended to be calm and apologized.

Xu Jie gently put down the teacup and ordered in a deep voice: "Lin Zhongcheng will not be a guest at the mansion. If you ask someone to steam the fattest Songjiang perch, I have to drink a cup with Lin Zhongcheng!

"As he said that, he turned his head to Lin Run and said gently: "Ruoyu, since you have come to Songjiang, then you should not worry about any official business matters. How many days can you stay here?"

"It is better to obey your orders than respectful officials!" Lin Run was stunned for a moment, and then he saluted seriously.

Under the arrangement of the Xu Mansion housekeeper, a table of hearty dishes was quickly prepared.

Xu Ying sat next to her fear, fearing that she had exposed Lin Run's invitation in the name of her father. Fortunately, her father was still kept in the dark, and Lin Run did not mention the matter on his own initiative. The two were just talking.

Some things about Susong’s customs and customs.

Soon, the banquet came to an end.

Xu Jie stopped the chopsticks in his hand and picked up the posture of his senior, saying, "Ruoyu, you have been in the office of Governor Yingtian for nearly three years, but now you still lack the qualifications and political achievements directly to the capital. I don't know what you will next

What are your plans?"

There are many precedents of officials who returned to the capital to serve as a government official. However, Lin Run was just a small censor of Nanjing Jiang, and he was even more criticized and praised during his tenure as governor Yingtian.

It is precisely because with his qualifications and political achievements, it is difficult to go back to the capital to take an important position directly.

"I'm not hiding the title master, the officials are also frightened and uneasy! At Ying Tianren, I wanted to make some political achievements to repay the title master, but the qualifications of the officials are mediocre, which disappoints the title master!" Lin Run's heart

He immediately jumped and quickly put down his chopsticks and said guiltyly.

He was promoted to Governor Yingtian by Xu Jie. Originally, Xu Jie wanted him to find out the joint business group hiding behind the silk merchants in Suzhou, but he kicked a piece of iron.

Although there are extremely important objective factors here, I did not meet Xu Jie's expectations after all. Now Xu Jie seems to be intentional in promoting himself, so he naturally wants to express his apology to Xu Jie first.

Although Xu Ying had briefly entered the officialdom, she was a marginal figure in the officialdom after all. She could no longer see the twists and turns here, but she was still worried that Lin Run would find out why she was here.

"I can't blame you for this matter! The water in Suzhou is so deep, but I didn't expect it. On the contrary, I was not thinking well back then and I couldn't figure out the situation in Suzhou, so I've been so unlucky these years!" Xu Jie said.

He has always been playing a good character and immediately apologized like he is free to do it.

In fact, this is not entirely false! I thought that letting Lin Run serve as Governor Ying Tian and his support behind it was just a breeze to find out the joint business group behind the Silk Merchant in Suzhou.

Only when I saw the development of the situation and when I returned to Songjiang, I saw that the United Banknotes were already popular here, I realized that the United Business Group had grown into a behemoth.

A small Lin Run alone could no longer shake the joint business group that was combined with Suzhou's local forces, let alone to find out the "evidence" related to Lin Xuran.

"Old Master Xu is so kind tolerant, and the minister is so grateful!" Lin Run also breathed a sigh of relief in his heart, but bowed with emotion.

Xu Jie knew that it would be useless to blame Lin Run for his poor work, so he brought it back to the topic: "If the three-year period expires, your best destination is probably to be the governor, but he doesn't know where to belong.

?”

Xu Ying also turned his head curiously and looked at Lin Run. From Governor Yingtian to Governor, it was a small advantage, but the position of Governor was also good and bad.

"I'm not afraid of the jokes from the elders, my lower lords are in the north! Now the Tartars have not been destroyed, and the lower lords have studied military tactics since childhood and are willing to do their part for the Ming Dynasty!" Lin Run also made his career plan, and even stated that he immediately made a statement.

"Ambition" says.

Huh?

Xu Ying was taking the initiative to pour wine for Xu Jie, and looked at Lin Run in surprise, but she didn't expect that Lin Run, who was so lustful, still had this ambition.

"Haha... It's so good, I've recorded this!" Xu Jieduan thought of the wine glass and smiled heartily.

But in his gaze with praise, he had already seen Lin Run's true intention.

The so-called governor of the north is to avoid the poorest governor of the southwest region. Now the valuable governor of the Southern Zhili and the governor of Guangdong and Guangxi are no longer something that Lin Run can do, so the best destination is actually the north.

Once he arrives in the north, since they are all important military affairs, he will be given the corresponding title of Minister of War.

If Lin Run could accumulate some military merits and work in the court, he would have been able to return to the capital as the Minister of War, and could even become the second Yang Bo.

Obviously, Lin Run's wishful thinking was a slap, and he was already an ambitious official.

Lin Run knew that this was Xu Jie's promise to him, so he respectfully bowed: "Secret official has been cultivated by the Master of Ge, and he will definitely not dare to forget the Master of Ge's great kindness in this life!"

"We are not outsiders!" Xu Jie raised his hand and waved his hand with a smile, and said with a deep meaning.

Lin Run knew the elegant meaning when she heard the strings, and immediately bowed and said, "What Master Ge said is extremely true!"

"This is so drunk! Ying'er, please arrange for Lin Zhongcheng to go!" Xu Jie held his forehead and ordered Xu Ying, and then apologized to Lin Run: "This person has many physical problems, so you can do it.

I have to go back to my room to rest!”

"Master Ge, please go slowly!" Lin Run quickly stood up and sent Xu Jie away.

call!

Xu Ying, who had been worried for a long time, watched Xu Jie walk away with the help of his servant, and couldn't help but breathe a long breath, glad that the matter had been hidden.

Lin Run saw this scene in his eyes, and the corners of his mouth couldn't help but raise his mouth slightly, and found that although Mr. Xu was a little clever, he was not a material for being involved in the officialdom.

Xu Ying sent the two maids who were serving beside him to leave, and immediately confessed to Lin Run that he was asking him to come over under the name of his father, so that he must keep it secret.

"Mr. Xu San, Mr. Xu said it very well just now. We are not outsiders! If there is really something urgent, you can write a letter and this Zhongcheng will come!" Lin Run did not intend to point it out, but he deliberately tried to sternly.

said face.

In theory, Xu Ying "deceived" his dignified governor Yingtian to wipe his butt in the name of Xu Jie, and he would definitely be angry about it.

But Xu Jie had undoubtedly seen through all this, but he did not point out the matter, but instead gave himself a great political commitment. The intention of this move was already very obvious, and it was enough to make him forget all the unhappiness and turn to Xu.

Ying has become a brother.

Xu Ying did not see through the story, but instead mistakenly thought that Lin Run was selling her face so much, and immediately told her everything.

The cause of the incident starts with Zhang Daniu, who sued the Xu family for killing the land and burning the house. Although Hai Rui has never had strong evidence in his hands, Hai Rui has been biting the case.

But, Zhang Daniu had a grudge against their Xu family. Although he was threatened and tempted by their Xu family several times, Zhang Daniu was still looking for evidence of their Xu family's crimes.

It was under Zhang Daniu's activity that the incident of their forcibly occupying the land was exposed one by one, and the Xu family had to return the occupied land.

But he had to vomit back the meat he had to eat after eating it. This was undoubtedly a torture. Xu Ying was so angry that he gritted his teeth at Zhang Daniu, who started as a Ningbo.

Given that Zhang Daniu's reputation in Songjiang Mansion is so great that Shanghai Rui protects Zhang Daniu at all times, the Xu Mansion does not dare to do anything to Zhang Daniu.

However, while Zhang Daniu kept targeting their Xu family, their Xu family did not sit idly by and began to find Zhang Daniu's "illegal act".

Although Zhang Daniu often competes with people from other villages, he does not do anything out of order, and even does a lot of good people and good deeds.

Fortunately, hard work pays off. A few days ago, Zhang Daniu was arrested by his servants of the Xu Mansion on the spot when he was robbing the tomb, and escorted him to the Songjiang Mansion.

According to the law of the Ming Dynasty: Anyone who digs a tomb and sees a coffin, a staff of one hundred and flows three thousand miles; those who have opened a coffin and sees a corpse, a strand is twisted; those who have not yet reached the coffin, a staff of one hundred and have been abandoned for three years.

This tomb robbery is a serious crime. As long as Hai Rui judges Zhang Daniu according to law, the matter can be successfully resolved.

However, Hai Rui chose to shelter Zhang Daniu, and he delayed the public trial of Zhang Daniu's case, and only detained the person in the Songjiang Prefecture Prison.

That's right, when Xu Ying saw that Hai Rui was not in operation for a long time, she called Lin Run from Suzhou City in the name of Xu Jie.

Lin Run learned about the cause and effect of the case and found that this was no longer a difficult thing, and even benefited him, so he agreed immediately.

Although she had just had a banquet, Lin Run arrived at Xu Ying's residence and continued to drink flower wine there happily, and the one who accompanied her was Xiao Feng, who was his old lover.

In fact, many people don’t know that Lin Run likes to visit brothels very much, but he has to find a doctor recently, because he has a shameful disease.

The next day, the autumn was clear and the sky looked blue.

Songjiang Prefecture is located in the northwest corner of Songjiang City. The two stone lions in front of the door show the majesty of the government, while the officials and yamen runners entering and leaving are all in a hurry.

Hai Rui, wearing the fourth-rank official uniform, worked in the signing room as usual. Although he had been an official for many years, his body still looked very thin, but his eyes still looked bright and bright.

The two masters were busy outside. Although they were nominally employed by Hai Rui, they took money from the United Business Group. However, they were dedicated to the matter at hand.

Since the autumn grain was about to be escorted to Beijing, the matter was quite cumbersome. Not only did the three people who signed the house seemed busy, but officials often came in and out.

Just as they were busy with these things, they got Lin Run, the governor of Yingtian.

When Hai Rui learned that the Governor of Yingtian, Lin Run, had no choice but to greet him from the signing room and led many colleagues to pay tribute to Lin Run: "Goodbye to Lord Zhongcheng!"

"Everyone, there is no need to be too polite!" Lin Run was dissatisfied with Hai Rui's arrest of Xu Ying last time without selling his face, but he raised his hand lightly and said politely.

Although Hai Rui didn't like Lin Run, he still followed the etiquette in the officialdom and said, "Thank you, Lord Zhongcheng!"

"Magistrate Hai, I heard that the villager Zhang Daniu was arrested on the spot by robbing the tomb. Is there any such incident?" Lin Run did not intend to go around with Hai Rui, so he immediately asked straight to the point.

When Wang Honghai saw Xu Ying, he knew why Lin Run came this time.

But what he didn't expect was that the dignified Governor Ying Tian actually ran from Suzhou like a lackey of the Xu family for this matter.

Hai Rui has his own principles of conduct and nodded with certainty, "Is there really such a thing?"

"Why is it not a trial?" Lin Run asked with confidence after learning that this was indeed the case.

Hai Rui didn't like Lin Run's tone, but frowned and said, "There are still doubts in this case, and we still need to find out!"

"Master Hai, the tomb robbery incident can be said to have been captured by people and stolen. There are no doubts. I think you are trying to deliberately protect Zhang Daniu!" Xu Ying immediately accused Hai Rui.

Hai Rui looked at Xu Ying deeply and found that there were so many evil people in this matter. Mr. Hu Er was at best just to take advantage of the public. Xu Ying was simply taking care of human life, and she moved here so impatiently.

Lin Run.

"Okay, this case will be tried by me personally and I will lend it to you in the Songjiang Prefecture Court for use!" Lin Run saw that there was indeed such a case with strong evidence, and immediately said with a decisive conclusion.

Songjiang Prefecture is under the jurisdiction of Yingtian, and the dignified Governor Yingtian is naturally qualified to be in charge of the case of Songjiang Prefecture, and can even directly overturn the judgment of the previous case of Songjiang Prefecture.

Now both personal and physical evidence are present. Once he now judges Zhang Daniu's tomb robbery case, the matter may be concluded directly.

Hai Rui's brows frowned slightly, but this was indeed the power of the governor of Yingtian, Lin Run, and the prefect of Songjiang could not stop the boss from interrogating Zhang Daniu.
Chapter completed!
