Self-help guide for non-professional young masters

"Longshen Mountain is a stone mountain. The Xinghong soil on the surface is the sealing soil of ancient tombs. It does not belong to this mountain, so it is easy to collapse when exposed to water. However, due to the characteristics of Xinghong soil, it has been closely attached to the mountain wall for many years. It happens frequently, and there will be no natural disasters in recent days. The real reason for the collapse of Longshen Mountain is that Tu Fuzi robbed and excavated ancient tombs, and dug many robbery holes in the mountain, making the interior of Longshen Mountain hollow, and it will collapse if there is a slight vibration. Lei Dabao It is true that his death was his own fault, but you native masters are not responsible at all!"

Jun Ziyou slapped the table hard and reprimanded Lei Sanbao who was present, he almost choked for breath, and poured a few sips of water to suppress his anger.

After learning the truth, Lei Sanbao couldn't kneel anymore, and sat down on the ground in a dispirited state, muttering in a daze, "How is it possible... my brother was killed by me, how could it be..."

The remaining two reacted differently. Xing Jinbao breathed a sigh of relief and wiped the sweat off his forehead, while the master frowned and stroked his beard so that it was hard to see what he was thinking.

The case of Tufuzi’s murder came to an end, but the robbery case had not yet come to a conclusion. After everyone had calmed down, Xiao Beicheng said: "Lei Dabao is dead, and he cannot be held accountable for his crimes, but you two have done a disastrous thing." But the brother who committed the crime cannot go unpunished. Lord Xing, what crime should we commit for digging a grave?"

Xing Jinbao bowed his head to Xiao Beicheng, "If you return to the prince, according to the law of Dayuan, you should punish the three clans."

That Lei Sanbao is a cowardly master, he fainted on the spot when he heard this, and he couldn't wake up even after patting.

Seeing this, Xiao Beicheng just snorted coldly, "Then what about corruption-accepting-bribery?"

As soon as this remark came out, Xing Jinbao knelt down with a plop, begging the lord to forgive him this time, with snot and tears, and even willing to spend all his wealth to make up for the crime, just begging to be able to jump again in this position For a few years.

Xiao Beicheng asked blankly when he heard the words: "Once? Let's not get into the shady things you did in the past, just this time is enough to kill the head off your neck! Xing Jinbao, you are an official of the court, it is a waste of money for the emperor!" For your cultivation, what should you do!!"

Jun Ziyou didn't want to listen to these nonsense and trifles. When he arrived in front of Xiao Beicheng, he lifted his robe and knelt down. His behavior was surprising, and the latter was also stunned.

"My lord, I would like to ask you for a favor for them."

There were stars in Xing Jinbao's eyes, and he regarded Junziyou as a life-saving straw. Seeing that he was about to hug his thigh, he turned him back with one sentence: "It's not you! Just stay!"

Then he said to Xiao Beicheng: "Your Majesty, I know that the Lei brothers dig graves for personal gain, know how to break the law, and despise the rules of the court. They should be punished, and there is no room for intercession. But they did this because they had to. There are old people in their family. The seriously ill mother forced them to make such a bad plan because the government confiscated the arable land they depended on for survival. I beg the prince to extend the sentence of the Lei brothers so that they can go back to bury the dead brother and serve the mother until the old man passes away before executing the sentence. Bar."

Hearing such hidden feelings, Xiao Beicheng felt very uncomfortable, and sighed: "The emperor has always ruled the world with the principle of benevolence and filial piety. Laws are ruthless, but people are sympathetic. If they really deal with their brothers, Lei's mother will be left alone. The sad news that the three sons under my knees are all dead, I am afraid that it will not be too long. Well, according to what you said, the execution will be carried out after the death of Lei's mother, and get up."

"I thank the lord for your kindness on behalf of the Lei brothers." The gentleman swam up and asked tentatively, "My lord, I have another merciless request."

Seeing his eyes, Xiao Beicheng understood everything, waved his hands and turned his head away, letting Junziyou kick on the bewildered Xing Jinbao.

"You dog official! It's okay to accept bribes and do some shameless deeds, but you dare to search for people's fat and anointing, and even confiscate the people's ancestral farmland. Are you still a human being!"

It's okay to commit murder in court, but now Xing Jinbao has an excuse, relying on the fact that the people under King Jin are ashamed of him, he even wants to blackmail him with ignorant delusion.

"My lord! My lord, look, his behavior..."

"What's the matter? Is it wrong? How can he still hurt you when he is sick? You know that if your actions are announced to the world, the people will want to beat you to ashes. After a few hits, they will start to complain. Rather than pretending to be in front of this king, it is better to cry to the emperor!"

"My lord! I beg you to spare me, my lord, I will never dare again, my lord..."

Disturbed by his noise, Xiao Beicheng leaned forward a little closer, and stretched out his hand towards Xing Jinbao. The latter went up to him hesitantly, but unexpectedly, his hairpin was pulled out, and even the black gauze cap on his head was flipped over. land.

"The emperor loves the people like a son, how can there be a scum like you under his command! Shen Ci, put him in the prison, and bring him back with him when he returns to Beijing. The emperor personally selects the officials, and the emperor himself disposes of them."

No matter how much Xing Jinbao cried and shouted, he still couldn't change the ending of self-inflicted suffering.

Seeing Junziyou's fatigue, Xiao Beicheng didn't delay too long, but just reminded the master who had been silent all along: "What Xing Jinbao did is unforgivable, but where are you clean?" Back to the post house.

Jun Ziyou stayed in the room for too long, it was rare to have a chance to come out to take a breath, he didn't want to go back too early, so he found an excuse to stroll around Gusu City with Xiao Beicheng.

Recently, the Longshen Mountain burglary case has caused people to panic. The common people believed the rumors about the ghost grandma, and they were very afraid of being implicated. There were no pedestrians on the road during the daytime, and there was no one at dusk.

Xiao Beicheng held his hands behind his back, while Junzi You followed behind without saying a word.

Seeing that he wanted to say something, Xiao Beicheng retreated to the left and right, and even Shenci retreated twenty steps away, before he said to the man: "You seem to be very touched by today's incident, what do you want to say to this king?" ?"

"The prince is really loyal to the emperor."

"Oh? How do you say this?"

"For Xing Jinbao's actions, the prince was clearly very angry. He was about to take action, but he endured it. From the perspective of others, even if the prince hurts people, there is nothing wrong with it. Xing Jinbao despises the court's discipline, and he is a street rat. People can be beaten, and the prince is a relative of the emperor, with a noble status, so there is nothing he can't do. But if the prince forbears the impulse, he is defending the court law, and this is one of them."

"There's another one?"

"Although you are involved in the case, you don't have the emperor's order. It is not appropriate to dispose of Xing Jinbao without authorization, let alone remove him from his official position. The prince brought Xing Jinbao back to the capital to respect the emperor he ordered, and there is no arrogance of a minister. This is the second. As for the third, the prince also loves the people like a son, sympathizes with Lei's mother's experience, and allows Lei's brothers to serve his mother until she dies. Although it is against the rules, it has won the hearts of the people. "

Jun Ziyou took Xiao Hei from his arms, playing with its ears, a little uneasy.

"My only worry is that the prince will be blamed by the emperor, and this loyalty and sincerity will be ignored."

Xiao Beicheng smiled and said: "You are the one who begged, but you are the one who is worried in the end. It seems that no matter what I do, you won't be able to let go of your heart."

"I also just mentioned the current troubles of the Lei family. The decision is in the hands of the prince. Whether you agree or not is up to you. If you refuse, I will definitely not ask for it a second time."

"Your temperament is really likable. It is rare to dare to tell the truth without fear of death."

Junzi Youbao smiled, "My lord, I am a person who doesn't know if there will be a tomorrow after today. If I don't say some happy words while I am alive, I will not enjoy happiness after death."

Even if he doesn't believe in ghosts and gods, Xiao Beicheng has always tabooed him from saying such things, so he would blame him for his slip of the tongue with a cold face. Before he could say anything, he heard a strange noise behind him. Looking back, he saw a faint figure.

"Ziyou?"

Hearing his name being called, Junzi took a few steps forward, but Xiao Beicheng stopped him before he could clearly see the person coming.

"Ziyou, it's me."

Su Qinghe showed his face under the night, seeing him, Jun Ziyou let go of his hanging heart.

"Oh, ancestor, you scared me to death. I thought you were here to seduce my soul again."

"You're not a thief, why are you so guilty. I'm going to see you at the post house. I heard that you fell into the water and became seriously ill. When I came to see you a few days ago, the post house was surrounded by people, thinking that you need to rest , I didn’t bother you, I figured it’s almost the same time today, so I brought the cakes specially made by my mother and a few side dishes you like to visit. Isn’t it convenient..."

When the food was mentioned, the gentleman couldn't help but salivate, and he stared at Su Qinghe's hand, if he didn't see Xiao Beicheng's face was not very good-looking, he would have forgotten about the introduction.

"My lord, this is my childhood sweetheart, Su Qinghe, who I mentioned earlier. He is honest, gentle, and well-educated. He plans to go to Beijing to take the exam in the beginning of spring. If he is in high school in the future, he will need your help. Qinghe, this is Jin king."

As he spoke, he leaned close to the other party's ear and added in a low voice: "The emperor's own nephew."

Su Qinghe hurriedly saluted and bowed to the person, for fear of neglecting the etiquette.

"The grass people see the prince, but they don't know Mount Tai, so please forgive me."

"Forget it, it's cold at night, and it's not a place to talk outside, so go in."

Xiao Beicheng sneered and didn't pay much attention to others, Gu Zi went back to the room without looking at Su Qinghe, Jun Ziyou was deeply embarrassed, but he couldn't say anything.

"Don't worry, the prince is a bit weird, but he is a good person. He doesn't say anything, but he cares in his heart."

"That's right for you. An ordinary person like me who can't get it out of the pile of scholars is worthy of the prince's eyes."

"Stop talking about this, let me see what good things you brought."

The gentleman swam into the door and welcomed Su Qinghe in, impatiently waiting at the table to see his virtue, Su Qinghe smiled helplessly, "You, you are still so greedy."

"It's not that Mrs. Su's cooking skills are so good, and the food is delicious. I'm sick these days, and I'm tired of drinking chicken soup. It's time for a change."

Su Qinghe handed him the chopsticks first, then opened the food box, and took out the pastries one by one.

"Knowing that you can't eat greasy food when you're sick, my mother specially made sweet osmanthus candy for you, and this, mung bean soft cake. It's comfortable to eat half of it when you have a fever. I'm afraid you won't be able to eat if you don't have much appetite, The hot and sour chicken feet are also very refreshing, look, they are all bones from my mother, my own son is not treated so well."

Seeing the plates of delicacies in front of his eyes, Jun Ziyou didn't care about his image, so he quickly grabbed a piece of fresh milk and stuffed it into his mouth, waiting to see the next delicacies.

When Su Qinghe turned to the last floor, he seemed a little embarrassed, "You said you were tired of chicken soup, but I prepared this here too, and when I came here, I saw Wang Widow Niang coming to deliver soup for you, saying that you were not at the posthouse , and asked me to hand it over to you. I thought you saved her son, she is a widow, she has nothing to repay, it is considered a little kindness, even if you don’t want to, just take a sip of it.”

Being persuaded to this point, if Jun Ziyou doesn't give him face, he will appear ignorant. Of course he knows it well, so he can only take the spoon and take a symbolic sip.

But it was this sip of soup that made him dizzy and his chest tight. Before he could cough up the remaining soup, his eyes went black and he fell to the ground.
