Good son-in-law of the Ming Dynasty

Hearing what he said, Su Mu was shocked.

If the old man refuses to comply with the decree, Emperor Zhengde and Queen Mother Zhang will certainly have nothing to do with him.In fact, the two big men, Wansui and Qiansui, didn't see Wu Shiqi in their eyes. They wanted to push Mr. Wu to the foreground and let Su Mu solve the problem for the court.

If Mr. Wu leaves Cangzhou and still returns to Yangzhou to organize his promotion officer, Su Mu will not be able to complete the task assigned by the court, and he will not even think about returning to the capital in the future.

From the first day he came here, Su Mu thought about how to go home, and this thought became an obsession.He has nothing to do with Princess Taikang. In contrast, it is not an impossible task to collect enough 200 million. Naturally, the old otaku can't tolerate his own affairs.

Therefore, without delay, Su Mu rushed to Shuiximen impatiently, and Wu Laoju's boat was just parked on the river bank.

Such a big incident happened that night, and the commotion lasted until midnight, and it didn't stop until the morning.

The people in the city had been alarmed for a long time. After five days, they knew that all the bureaucrats in the Yansi Division had been wiped out by Wu Tuiguan's soldiers and imperial envoys.About 600 people gathered at Shuiximen and pointed at the official ships of Yangzhou Prefecture by the river.

Shuiximen is originally the wharf of the Cangzhou section of the Grand Canal. It is extremely prosperous, and there are tea houses and restaurants along the river.However, most of the consumers here are porters and boat owners, and the grades are not too high.

Today, there are many good people gathered by the river, and the business of various businesses is also very good, and they are full of people.

It was noisy and lively, and the sound of discussion accompanied by the smell of wine and vegetables wafted over, making people move their index fingers.

As soon as Su Mu was about to board the boat, he was called out: "Inspector Mei, you are here. It's noon, you can have a drink and a meal. Come and eat a few together. The lamb lung soup here is delicious."

As he spoke, he was about to drag Su Mu to a shed specializing in mutton scraps and offal.

Reputable people in ancient times did not eat animals and put them into the water, mainly because they were afraid that the cooks would not clean them up cleanly, and they were afraid of being infected with parasites after eating them.Moreover, the spices in the Ming Dynasty were not as rich as those in the later generations. If they were not cleaned up properly, the smell would be very strong.

Therefore, most of the animals in the feeders at the docks are for coolie porters.

Su Mu used to like to eat animal offal, such as beef liver, horse lung and sheep intestines, and roasted kidneys.After arriving in this time and space, I found that these things are ridiculously cheap, so I asked Xiaodie to tidy up a table for you.As soon as I moved my chopsticks, I realized that this thing was really unpalatable.

He was held back by someone, and when he looked back, he knew this person, as if he was the older brother of one of the inspection department's former subordinates.

This person is an unemployed vagrant, and he entrusted his relationship to work in the inspection department.

Based on the principle of hello and everyone, Su Mu also agreed.

It's a pity that Su Mu was dismissed from his official position and sent to work as a guard before Lao Hao entered the inspection department.

He smiled and said, "So it's Lao Hao, so I don't eat it, and I don't like to go into the water either."

Old Hao patted himself on the forehead with an "Ouch" and said, "Look at my dog ​​eyes, I don't know anything. Mei Xunjian is a person who is used to riches and honors. How can I eat this kind of simple food. By the way, Mr. Mei, aren't you Was he assigned to the armory as a guard? That day the armory was occupied by official Wu Tui, and those corrupt officials were dug out. Even Yang Zilie, the Tong Zhi of Cangzhou, was arrested. For his crimes, he must be at least a beheaded prisoner. Waiting. Yang Zilie has fallen off the horse, and you, Master Mei, will naturally go back to the inspection department. The villain is here to congratulate the master."

He bowed again and again as he spoke.

There were already a lot of people on the pier, and when they heard the two talking, a circle of troublemakers immediately gathered around.

Su Mu smiled wryly: "It's not decided yet!"

Old Hao: "Master Mei is a good man. If you go back to the inspection department in the future, please take care of my brother. The so-called good man is rewarded. My brother often says that Mr. Mei is a generous and benevolent Bodhisattva in front of villains. Otherwise, there will be such a big commotion. Shooting guns and beheading people, but you have nothing to lose, my lord."

Su Mu was a little annoyed by him, and was about to explain a few words so that he could go to the boat.

A spectator nearby said: "It turns out that it is the Inspector Mei, so you were with Mr. Wu in the armory yesterday, please tell me about the situation at that time, the villain will treat you to the Inspector Mei for a drink later. "

"Yes, yes, yes, Master Mei, tell me quickly."

"Mr. Mei is an auspicious person, so there is nothing wrong with him. Besides, Mr. Wu of Yangzhou Prefecture is a rare honest official. He is an official of Yangzhou Prefecture. In order to dig out the corrupt officials of the Salt Division, he even led troops to attack the armory and the silver warehouse. What a worry! , this courage!"

"Yes, Mr. Wu is the great Master Qingtian!"

Everyone nodded one after another, and then asked Su Mu to talk about the situation that night, and talk about Mr. Wu's demeanor at that time.

Su Mu was given a headache by everyone, and he was also amused: It seems that Mr. Wu has made such a fuss in Cangzhou, but Bo has gained a great reputation. Today's official annual review, I am afraid that he will be sentenced to a "outstanding" .

However, upon hearing this, his heart moved.

When he was in the capital, Su Mu lived with Mr. Wu's family under the same roof for half a year, so he knew his temper best.

When he was in the Yamen of Yansi, when he heard that he was appointed as an acting envoy, the old man was so frightened that he fainted.

In this way, he didn't refuse the appointment, and was misunderstood by everyone as greedy for power and position, and his reputation was ruined.

The reason is not because of the words that Su Mu said.

If he guessed right, at this moment Mr. Wu might even have the intention of killing him, Su Mu.

Angry and angry, the old man naturally wanted to leave Cangzhou, a place of right and wrong, as soon as possible, and use actions to prove his innocence.In this way, perhaps he can also restore his already discredited reputation among scholars.

The so-called return of the prodigal son is not in exchange for money, you also allow others to repent, right?

It's a pity that Su Mu didn't want to let Wu Juren go. If he left, Su Mu would just jump into the Grand Canal and die.

As for the old gentleman's reputation, who cares?

In order for me, Su Mu, to be able to return to the capital as soon as possible, my father-in-law, you should be scolded by the scholars all over the world!Those who are elders have to sacrifice for the younger ones.

However, the old Juren is stubborn, and the only way to persuade him is to use the sage's righteousness and morality to subdue him.

Thinking of this, Su Mu already had an idea, bowed to everyone, and said: "I was indeed on duty at the armory yesterday, but I was sleeping when the incident happened, and I didn't wake up until Mr. Wu brought me in. What happened earlier?" What, but I don’t know anything about it. However, Mr. Wu is a good official. After entering the warehouse, he restrained his subordinates and said nothing. The money came out."

"Good officer!"

Everyone praised it one after another.

Su Mu took this opportunity to pull Lao Hao aside, and said in a low voice: "Old Hao, I need your help with something, I'm going to board Lord Wu's boat to talk later, just look at my gestures... How so."

Then he stuffed an ingot of broken silver into his hand.
