Hexi

Chapter 326
Dinner is a makeshift meal in the yamen kitchen.Su Shou didn't think much about eating, and Lord Zhen Guo didn't seem to have a good appetite, and his eyes were always gloomy on Su Shou's face.

Su Shou couldn't take it anymore: "Duke, did you see flowers on my face?"

Duke Zhen smiled and put down the bowls and chopsticks: "You don't have flowers on your face, but I heard that your family has a daughter who looks as beautiful as a flower."

Su Shou stopped his chopsticks, and walked over: "What's the matter with the Duke?"

Zhen Guogong said again: "I don't have a girl, it's rare, just ask!"

Su Shou glanced at him and continued to eat.

Lord Zhen Guo glanced outside, and said again: "Speaking of it, it's really fate. You see, we both worked for the emperor in the same dynasty, and we hit it off so well. As for the children, last time we joined hands and made a great contribution. Fang Mei and Chang Wei were arrested, it's no wonder the emperor trusted us, not only let us interrogate Chang Wei, but also ordered my family, Ah Man, and your daughter to investigate the case together, if the two of us don't work together Errands done-"

"What?" Su Shou raised his head before he finished speaking, "When did the emperor issue the order? What order did he issue?"

"It's just in the afternoon!" Zhen Guogong said, and then leaned towards him: "Have you heard of the iron coupon for protecting the country in this dynasty?"

Su Shou's hand holding the chopsticks suddenly moved, and the meatball he had just caught ran away.

He stared straight at the opposite side, as if he wanted to penetrate Duke Zhen's body.

"Emperor Taizu gave several iron coupons to protect the country in the past, and your Su family has also been blessed by the Emperor Taizu. You should have heard of it," Lord Zhen Guo lowered his voice extremely low, his face extremely dignified, "The only iron coupons known to the world are the Taiyuan Wang family and the Huzhou Jiang family, but after confirmation by the emperor, there are actually three."

In the evening, he didn't speak out immediately because the matter was confidential after all, and he couldn't speak out without further ado.

But the emperor had ordered Su Wei and Han Mo to investigate the case together, so after much deliberation, it would be impossible not to mention this matter.

He has never met Su Shou before, so he doesn't know how capable she is, but he thinks she is a teenage girl after all, and she is inevitably not sophisticated enough in her actions. If I don't tell Su Shou about this, let him mention it from the side, it will not be reassuring. .And for the sake of working together, he told Su Shou in advance that he would be able to make preparations in advance if the two little ones really messed up something.

Su Shou looked at him for a while, then lowered his eyes, took the chopsticks and directly inserted the ball into the bowl.

"Where's the third one? I've never heard of it."

"It doesn't matter if you haven't heard of it. The important thing is that the emperor ordered my kid and your daughter to investigate it."

Su Shou's right hand stopped again: "Why does the emperor want to check it?"

"Let me make a long story short. Emperor Taizu not only secretly bestowed the third iron coupon back then, but also secretly removed a batch of unknown mineral deposits—what happened to your hand? You can't even eat a ball! I continued, These mines must have left clues, but now the emperor doesn't know how to find out, and the bad things Chang Wei did seem to be related to these mines, so we must investigate!"

Zhen Guogong tapped his fingers on the table.

Su Shou completely gave up on the balls that rolled down from the tip of the chopsticks, and took a deep breath: "I haven't heard that the court has such a mine. It's really surprising."

Glancing at the opposite side, he continued: "However, since the extra iron coupons are not supported by conclusive evidence, isn't that just chasing rumors? At this moment, why should the emperor waste his mind on these irrelevant matters?"

"This is not a waste of mind. Both the iron certificate and the mine were secretly handled by Emperor Taizu. Who can be sure that the holder of the certificate will not happen to have the specific whereabouts of the mine? You are still the Shaoqing of Dali Temple, so what?" The obvious benefits and harms can't be thought of?"

Su Shou didn't say anything more.

He clasped the five fingers of his right hand, pushed the bowl and stood up: "It's getting late, let's go to the prison."

After speaking, he stepped out of the threshold.

Duke Zhen called him from behind: "How can I just leave? I haven't finished talking yet!..."

……

Han Mo led Su Wei to the entrance of Dali Temple, and then said to her, "My father is also inside. If he sees you later, if he asks you something, don't mind. Answer if you can answer, and don't if you can't answer." .”

Su Wei said: "What does the Duke want to ask me?"

Han Mo scratched his head: "I heard the emperor asked you to check the iron coupons with me during the day, he was curious and said he wanted to meet you. Then I agreed."

Earlier, he was looking for an opportunity to persuade Su Wei to go to this meeting, but he didn't expect her to ask Su Shou and the others to interrogate Chang Wei. Isn't that just right?Ready-made opportunity!So without saying a word, he agreed to think about the method of side trial.

Su Luo squinted at him: "Let me tell you, you little Yama knew you were being used and you agreed, so you wanted to 'use' me too."

"Hey, it's not in vain. If there are conditions, I will ask my father to help invite your uncle to the capital!"

"My uncle?"

"That's right, your mother has a lot to do with the Xie family, and didn't many inexplicable things happen to the Xie family? Don't you want to find out?"

Su Luo's face suddenly became clear.

Xie Yun had such a great influence on Xie Shi and Su Shou's marriage, she wanted to find out the whole story a long time ago!It's just that she can't go to Huizhou due to the high mountains and long roads. With the Xie family and the Su family's Liangzi, the Xie family can't come to the capital for no reason, so she didn't make such a plan.Unexpectedly, Han Mo quietly planned for him!

She glanced at Han Mo, pursed her red lips lightly, and raised the corners of her lips slightly.

Han Mo didn't know what to do, and asked, "Don't be angry later, will it work?"

Su Luo clasped her hands behind her back, tilted her head and nodded: "Success!"

"okay!"

Han Mo was relieved, and immediately sent Yang You: "Go and report to the Duke, and say that because of the need to investigate the case, Miss Su and I request to go to the prison to attend the interrogation!"

……

Zhen Guogong and Su Shou just walked to the gate of the prison.

Hearing Yang You say that Su Luo was also here, Duke Zhen immediately understood why Han Mo was here.I knew that this kid was interested in other girls, but I didn't expect that his hands and feet were so fast, and he brought her here in the blink of an eye!
Of course, he had no reason to refuse. When he saw Su Shou frowning, he rushed to the front and said, "Then let them in quickly! They are still working according to their orders. How can they be absent at such a time? Hurry up!"

It wasn't until Yang You ran away under his wave that Su Shou had a chance to make a sound, but what's the use of making a sound at this time?

Reluctantly glanced at the past, and then he entered the corridor without making a sound.

Zhen Guogong was indifferent, he stroked his beard and looked at the pair of children who had already stepped into the courtyard.
