lying down

"Sure enough, it's a shot! It's still a heavy hand!" Xu Shiji slammed his fist on the low mahogany table, which made the teacup rattle.

A group of confidantes in the study stood on both sides, there were counselors, generals, and officials, but their faces showed anger.

"Captain Governor, we neglected our duties and failed to catch them in advance, and let them take the daughter of the Di Mansion and the Young Master of the Wu Mansion together. Please punish me!"

"Captain, I am also guilty. The humble official failed to guard the gate of Jinyang City, which led to the influx of spies."

Several generals and scribes knelt down like a mountain after they finished speaking, begging Xu Shiji to punish them.

Ouyang Yu stood in the middle of the study, feeling a little embarrassed.

"Get up! Now is not the time to pursue your partner's mistakes! Yesterday I wrote a letter to His Majesty Ming, this matter is no small matter, I can't blame you all." Xu Shiji looked at his confidantes kneeling all over the study, secretly thinking in his heart.

Ouyang Yu thought to himself, since Di Xue and Wu Yuanshuang disappeared together, it is very likely that they were together before and were kidnapped at the same time.

While he was in deep thought, Xu Shiji stood up from behind, walked up to Ouyang Yu and patted him on the shoulder, and asked with a smile: "Xiao Lang, did you come here just to deliver a letter?"

Ouyang Yu shook his head in embarrassment, and went straight to the topic: "Captain! The kid has an idea, I don't know if it's feasible or not."

"Good boy, I know you are clever, don't imitate the accent of a literati, if there is anything you can do, just tell me!" Xu Shiji sat down firmly, resting his chin with one hand, waiting for Ouyang Yu's next words.

Ouyang Yu grinned, and secretly called out this time to be refreshing! "Captain, you read this letter first, what do you think of this font?"

Xu Shiji took the letter into his hand, pulled out the letter received by the Wufu, and read it over and over again. It was just two thin pieces of paper. A big "Chuan" character appeared on his dark forehead, and his cheeks bulged, "Come here! Get me this month's official documents, and the greeting card for my mother's big banquet the day before yesterday!" Xu Shiji put the letter gently on the On the short table, concentrate and calm down.

After a while, all kinds of documents were delivered, and there was only the sound of paper turning in the whole hall, and needles could be heard.Everyone stared at the governor's face, as if his expression was a barometer.

When the stack of documents was almost finished, Xu Shiji stopped while pinching a certain page with one hand, his eyes kept wandering between the letter and the official documents. With a "snap", Xu Shiji closed the document heavily, pointed to a lieutenant general and said, "Go, please don't drive Zhang Wei, tell him that I have something important to discuss, if he doesn't come, you should know what to do!"

"No!" The officer saluted with his arms crossed, and hurried away.

Ouyang Yu stood aside and watched carefully, this Xu Shiji's ability to sit on the position of governor was indeed beyond the reach of ordinary people, he was thoughtful and quick to respond, he just took out the letter and he understood what to do.

Xu Shiji supported his crossed legs with one hand, and stroked his short beard with the other, "Xiao Lang, if you have any other ideas, you might as well put them out there and discuss them."

Ouyang Yu stepped forward and saluted: "Captain, you don't dare to discuss it. You just have some ideas. I haven't been in Jinyang City for long. I don't know many people and things. I can't figure out the key points, so There is only one stupid way: follow the clues. Since the governor has already made arrangements, I think the boy's idea has joined your side."

Xu Shiji clapped his palms and laughed loudly: "Brat, you really are a wonderful person! You are not stupid in thinking. A certain soldier has been in the army for many years and has seen countless people. He dare not claim to have a pair of fiery eyes, but he can also see people's tricks. Come on, don't hide your clumsiness in front of me! Otherwise, you will be served by military sticks."

Ouyang Yu was a little embarrassed, touched his chin and said, "Commander, look at all of you here, who walks the road without eating more salt than me? You don't dare to play big swords in front of Guan Gong, why don't you wait for the person you are looking for to come?" Let’s talk about it later.”

Xu Shiji nodded his head to express his understanding. After listening to the conversation between the two of them, everyone found it very interesting, and there was a hint of kindness in their smiles.

At the time of cup of tea, footsteps sounded outside the door.

A group of three people turned into the eyes of everyone in the hall. The first person was the lieutenant general who took the order, the one in the middle was Bingzhou Biejia Zhang Wei, and the last one was a small school.

Ouyang Yu stood aside, and saw Zhang Wei pacing with ease, his face not red, his forehead not sweaty, completely ignoring the disguised escort of the front and rear soldiers, as if he was a normal person.

At this time, he was not in the status of a criminal, his official position was ranked second in Bingzhou, everyone in the hall except Xu Shiji saluted him, but their eyes were not friendly.Zhang Wei nodded while walking between the lines, but when he saw Ouyang Yu, he glanced at him with contempt.Walking quickly to Xu Shiji, he cupped his hands and said, "Your officer Zhang Wei is here at your command. I don't know what orders the governor has?"

Seeing that Xu Shiji didn't answer, he was holding the two letters in one hand and the official document for comparison in the other. He seemed to be absorbed in reading, and didn't realize the existence of Zhang Wei.

Zhang Wei lowered his eyes, frowned slightly, and stood silently for a while. Seeing that Xu Shiji was still unresponsive, he asked in a harmonious voice, "Captain? Commander? The officer is here at your command." Only then did he see Xu Shiji With a reaction, it seemed that he had just heard his call, raised his head blankly and said: "Brother Zhang, you are here! Cough, I am so busy, please come here to ask for something, you are an out-and-out civil servant , unlike me, who is very confused about Wuwen, you should have some attainments in this way of writing and ink, right?"

Hearing this, Zhang Wei became even more calm, and said with a smile: "I don't dare to be accomplished, I just know a little bit, I don't know why the supervisor asks this?"

Xu Shiji stood up and handed over a few items in his hand, saying: "That's good! Come on, just take a look, can you tell me whether the handwriting on these three items is from the same hand."

The eyes of everyone in the hall followed the documents and letters to Zhang Wei, and Ouyang Yu even turned around, wanting to see what happened.Zhang Wei took the letter and opened it, his face changed instantly, the ears were congested, the corners of his mouth were raised, his facial muscles twitched, he looked up at the people in the hall, and when he turned to look at Xu Shiji, his complexion was normal.

Ouyang Yu thought in his heart that this person must have something wrong, and he is really a bureaucrat, this change of expression is faster than flipping through a book.

Zhang Wei asked with a puzzled expression: "Commander, what is the meaning of this? This document is mine, but I don't know who wrote these two letters. How can these other people's things be compared with mine?" , but the content of this letter is shocking, what actually hijacked the young masters of Di Mansion and Wu Mansion!"

Xu Shiji walked behind Zhang Wei, patted his shoulder lightly, only felt an imperceptible tremor in his palm, and asked with a smile: "Brother Zhang, I wonder if you remember the banquet when I first came to Bingzhou?" ? At that time, everyone said that you had the unique skills of turning the bow left and right and walking with two pens, so you wrote it on the spot and gave me a copy of "Far Mountain"..."

Following the guidance of Xu Shiji's words, Zhang Wei seemed to recall the situation at that time, and his hands shook unconsciously.

Xu Shiji turned to Zhang Wei, pointed to a wall in the study, and said sharply, "Come here, take down that painting of "Distant Mountains" on the wall!"
