Two days after Yan Jun left, Zhang Yunjian, Minister of the Ministry of Punishments, brought Xiao Suo on trial.

Logic should also bring him to the court for questioning during the public trial.However, the two yamen almost lit the lanterns and sent him all the way into the inner hall of the Ministry of punishment.

Ma Ping, the jailer who guarded him, was very careful, he unlocked the iron locks layer by layer, put him in shackles, and then handed him over to the intruders, as if he was a frail and sick man who could violently injure others and be that desperado like.

Xiao Suo followed the yamen, turned around two corridors paved with blue bricks, climbed the stone steps, and left the towering prison gate. Looking back, he saw a huge beast with a copper ring in its mouth carved on the left and right iron gates.The majestic appearance makes one's heart tremble.

He was blindfolded when he came, so he didn't know what was happening outside.Xiao Suo was afraid for a while, but fortunately he didn't see it when he came, otherwise he would have killed half his life.

The inner hall of the Ministry of Punishment is rather soft. There are twelve sandalwood screens inlaid with gold and treasures in the door. Turning around, there is a low couch with a small table on it and two seats on the ground.There is a smoky gray curtain hanging in the ear room on the right, covering a desk, which faintly reveals a delicate fragrance.

A small official came out from behind the tent, took a look at Xiao Suo, and told the yamen servant: "You uncuff him, go down and wait, and I will send you to send him back later." Then he turned his head to the two young servants. The humane said: "My lord has an order, first take him to the back to freshen up, and then come to ask questions."

The two replied "Yes", and took Xiao Suo to the back office to wash up.

After washing and grooming for a while, Xiao Suo saw that beside the barrel were his clothes that had been taken away by the jailer earlier, and now they had been washed clean.It's no wonder that the prison food he ate was so poor, it turned out that it was because he didn't pay the money.

He dressed neatly and returned to the inner hall.The little official instructed him to go to the tent and return to Master Shangshu, then he retreated alone.

Xiao Suo carefully opened the gauze curtain, only to see a person sitting behind the curling green smoke, about 40 years old, with a thin face, narrow and long eyes, a protruding nose, eyebrows flying into the temples, it looks really bad.

"Student Xiao Suo, pay homage to Master Shangshu." He knelt down and kowtowed, but he dared not get up.

Zhang Yunjian lowered her head to write the paperwork, and after a while she said "hmm": "Get up, stand aside."

"Thank you sir." Xiao Suo has not recovered yet, his head is heavy and his body is light, he can't help being dazzled, and when he got up he was a bit embarrassed.

Zhang Yunjian acted as if he hadn't seen it, and after reading all the documents before the case, he rubbed his neck and asked, "Do you know why the officer called you here?"

Xiao Suo thought to himself that it was naturally a matter of the fraud case, could there be other things? "Students are stupid, I really don't know, please advise adults."

Zhang Yunjian suddenly looked up at him and smiled: "The investigation of this case is almost done now, and the relevant criminals have been questioned one by one by the officials, and the final trial is just waiting for the trial. Only your matter is very difficult, so I asked you to ask it. "As he said, he went inside and sat down on the imperial concubine's couch.

Xiao Suo hurriedly knelt down again and said, "My lord, the student is really wronged!"

"You don't need to be polite when you get up." Zhang Yunjian glanced at him, picked up the teacup on the low table, and took a sip, "It's just that your business is difficult, sir... well, it's really difficult!"

"grown ups……"

Zhang Yunjian waved his hand and called him to come to him: "Sit down, block the shadow of the lamp with the stick there, it will give me a headache."

Xiao Suo's heart was pounding, he knelt down at his feet cautiously, cupped his hands and said: "Students dare not make mistakes."

Zhang Yunjian took advantage of the situation and grabbed his left hand.

Xiao Suo flinched, but failed to withdraw.Zhang Yunjian grasped his wrist with his left hand, patted the smooth, delicate and plump back of his hand twice with his right hand, and smiled slowly: "Tell me the inside story of this matter in detail." After speaking, a stick One finger loosened the shackles.

Xiao Suo withdrew his hand as if it was hot, lowered his eyes and said: "Student... the student really doesn't know the truth, but I only heard that the student of this department won the first place, but because some officials of this department participated in the fraud case, the top ranked The student was suspected of cheating in the test, so the student was locked in. But the student was really wronged, and he had never even heard of the examiner, so how could he conspire with them to cheat? , as long as you take the student's paper and see if it is worthy of the first place, you can prove that the student is learning with real talent, not cheating."

Zhang Yunjian shook his robe slowly, adjusted his cuffs calmly, and said in a serious tone, "Since that's the case, why did you identify Li Fengcheng, the examiner who was killed?"

Xiao Suo raised his head in a panic, and said with tears in his eyes: "How can you believe the slanderous words out of thin air? Could it be that he said that the students killed people, and the students also killed them?"

Zhang Yunjian clamped his raised jaw, eyes glued to his body like nostalgia, and smiled horribly: "That being said, your papers for this subject are lost."

"This..." Xiao Suo felt as if he was struck by lightning, in this way, the grievances would be irreparable! "How is this possible?"

As usual, the Beijing examination papers for each subject administered by the Ministry of Rites will be uniformly sealed and stored in the examination case file library under the Ministry of Rites, Ritual System and Cleaning Department, and there is absolutely no possibility of loss.

Zhang Yunjian leaned over in front of his eyes, and swipe his thumb slowly on his trembling chin: "If you want to talk about this case, it's not that there are other doubts. You can also find evidence from other places. It's just... there are many things in it. Tortuous, if you want to check, it will take a lot of trouble."

Hearing this, Xiao Suo felt as if a ray of divine light shot into the altar, and kowtowed again and again: "I beg you, please don't be too cumbersome and work tirelessly, at least to avenge the students. The life of the students depends entirely on the adults, please be the master for the students! But teach the adults Help the students settle this grievance, and in the future, the students will make grass titles to repay the kindness of the adults!"

Zhang Yunjian grabbed him, half forcefully, and pushed him to sit beside her.

Under the lamp, I saw his snow-white face flushed with the word "grievance", and the two clear springs in Shanlai's bright eyes, combined with the description of being haggard in the disease, he is really cute and pitiful, which makes people's hearts flutter.

"It's not that I don't want to help you." He embraced Xiao Suo's shoulders, touched him inch by inch, felt his weak struggle like a butterfly's wings, and sighed three times: "It's true that even you can't prove yourself. How can you verify the truth of what you said?"

His voice was slowly drawn out, like a bait to lure a prey, and he used his empty right hand to stroke Xiao Suo's buttocks back and forth, his scorching breath spread on the side of his neck, slightly damp.

Xiao Suo was very uncomfortable, pushed him weakly and said: "My lord... what the student said is all the truth, my lord can check it carefully. Don't do this, my lord... Students don't dare to offend my lord!"

Zhang Yunjian pinched his cheek and said with a low smile, "I don't blame you."

He lay down gently, his soft body lying on the side of the couch, blinking his eyes and said: "I would like to serve you."

Shen Yan gathered up his half-opened skirt, with a look of irritability between his brows: "Get up!" Turning around, he shouted: "Eleventh, send Mr. Ruan back to the camp!"

Ruan Tong propped himself up with one hand, with a puzzled face: "My lord dislikes me and doesn't want me to serve you?"

Shen Yan rubbed his brows and said: "Don't 'I' come 'I' go, this general has a headache! Also, don't call me my lord, it sounds like scolding. You go back first. The general said earlier, You don't need to wait on me."

Ruan Tong straightened up, adjusted her clothes carefully, knelt down on the ground as if she was singing on stage, and said affectionately: "Forgive me, General. I serve?"

Eleven broke in at this time, seeing his supple and graceful appearance, rolled his eyes, and turned to leave.

Shen Yan stopped him, turned around and said: "You have done nothing wrong. This general tells you that it is not just you, everyone is the same. This general does not like to be served by others, and this general... has someone in his heart."

"General." Ruan Tong's strands of black hair hung in front of him, making him even more charming and affectionate. He kowtowed and said, "I've heard of General Shen Yan's reputation as a romantic man. Is there any reason why he doesn't like being served by others? A man with three wives Four concubines, how many of the concubines who came to the brothel did not belong to someone from the family? If the general dislikes me, I dare not complain, just please don't hide it from me, and treat me sincerely."

Before Shen Yan could open his mouth, Eleven sneered: "You... people are very unreasonable! My general is kind enough to save you, but because of his kindness, how can he be sincere or not? My general would like Whoever you like likes whomever you like, you don't have to stalk here, or you won't get it if you really want it, so please give me a big punch first!"

"Eleventh," Shen Yan shouted, "Don't be rude!"

He sighed, and said to Ruan Tong: "You didn't understand what I said. I didn't mean someone at home, but someone in my heart. General Ben did do ridiculous things, but he made up for the missing piece in his heart. In the future, I will naturally correct my past mistakes and will not repeat the same mistakes. Eleven’s words are not unreasonable. This general treats you innocently, and I didn’t save you for anything. It’s because you were used to those scumbags before that you thought that Everyone is a bastard who wants to take advantage of you. This general respects your contribution to helping each other. After returning to Beijing, I will give you credit in front of the emperor. I will just pretend that what happened today has never happened. I will go to sea tomorrow, you Go back quickly and get some rest earlier."

Ruan Tong groaned for a moment, got up and gave him a blessing, and left angrily.

Shen Yan sighed again, and said with emotion: "It's all my fault for being so handsome, how can I blame him for being so handsome!"

The corner of Eleven's mouth twitched slightly, and asked him, "Master, after we go out to sea tomorrow, can we go back?"

"If we win tomorrow, we can go back." Shen Yan said, "But if we can't get rid of the thieves' lair this time, then we will have to spend time."

The pirates have been defeated, but the small island where they hid cannot be captured for a moment.Shen Yan and Ruan Tong have already figured out a way to join the lieutenants in the army. Tomorrow, they will send people to the island to lure the enemy, causing the thieves to flee.

This was Shen Yan's plan, but on the second day, the sea breeze was very strong, the air was full of damp and salty smell, everyone's hair was blown in the air.The only sound on the boat was the whistling of the white sails.

The group of pirates also learned to be cunning and cunning, and burned all the sergeants who lured the enemy to pieces with a fire against the wind. Win or lose.

Shen Yan worked hard and managed to rescue Ruan Tong from the melee and handed it over to Eleven. While ordering the army to retreat, he ordered people to drive a fast boat to the opposite island where the troops were stationed to ask for help.

When we got back to the barracks, it was already midnight.

Shen Yan's face was black and gray, and he was in a panic.He supported Ruan Tong, who was also covered in ashes and whose feet had softened from fright, and returned to the tent.

On the [-]th, under his orders, the generals were called to discuss countermeasures.After a heated discussion, everyone felt that although their own side suffered a heavy loss this time, the other party did not go over well.After all the calculations, it was the pirates who suffered the most.

Ruan Tong took the opportunity to say: "Now we know the hiding place of the pirates, and we have also controlled several families of the gangsters. This incident is a coincidence, I don't want the wind direction to make the group of people who play tricks count. But They are nothing more than a battle between trapped beasts, after all, it is difficult to achieve. We only need to wait for the wind direction to change tomorrow before going to sea, and at the same time, let the garrison of Quanzhou Prefecture respond from below, and we will be able to wipe out the enemy army with ease."

Shen Yan felt that it was reasonable, and the generals did not refute it, so he made up his plan and only waited to go to sea tomorrow.

Unexpectedly, in the early hours of the morning, a letter suddenly came from central Beijing, but it was written by Shen San'er.

The letter said that he had been taking care of him in the barracks for several days, but he never went back to the general's mansion. He went back to pick up things by chance that day, and only then did he learn that Xiao Suo had been sent to prison by the people from the Ministry of Punishment.He immediately dealt with the servant who did not report to him, but he didn't know how to rescue Xiao Suo, so he waited for Shen Yan's instruction.

When Shen Yan saw this letter, he felt worried and angry. He was anxious, flustered, and distressed. He couldn't care about others anymore, so he immediately ordered the teacher to return to the court.
