Chapter 8 Tinder

()

"The students don't know about this and dare not make any guesses." Tan Zong understood Zhang Henian's words of "accomplices" like a genius, so he would not keep up with it. This sentence "Don't make any guesses" was even more wonderful. He not only expressed what he thought in his heart - he agreed with Zhang Henian, but also carefully picked himself out of this matter.

This clearly pushed Zhang Henian to the front to block the wind and rain. Even if someone asked in the future, Tan Zong could push everything on Zhang Henian, and Tan Zong only needed to hide behind Zhang Henian.

But at the same time, Tan Zong was very careful to match Zhang Henian's words, and also agreed with Zhang Henian's original intention. It could be considered a small flattery. Zhang Henian still had to bear it happily.

Although Zhang Henian was just a co-minister from another place, he was the main test of the Nanjing Prefecture Provincial Examination this year. After all, he had to return to the original mansion after all matters in the provincial examination. If Zhang Henian was interested and mentioned Tan Zong a little bit to Shangguan, it would be a fortune that Tan Zong would never find in his life.

Such scheming, such a person like Tan Zong who has not yet entered the officialdom, is so easy to use. It must be a bit scary to others. But if you know that Tan Zong had been a section-level cadre in his later generations or the most complex department like taxation, you might not be surprised. In this officialdom, the most difficult thing is the survival method of this small leader. How to make the leader remember your name and know that there is a talent like you, and promotion is second. Anyway, it is sooner or later!

However, although Tan Zong's thoughts were so wonderful that he held Zhang Henian's old foot, they seemed to be of little benefit to the current situation.

Moreover, Tan Zong was busy holding Zhang Henian's old feet at this time, but he did not notice that when the supervisors heard Tan Zong say that the thief was taken away, a look of annoyance flashed across his face.

The supervisor in front of him looked at each other again with the two behind him, as if they were communicating again, but Tan Zong saw it in his eyes.

At this moment, Tan Zong discovered that these people did not really communicate with each other with their eyes. The hands in the sleeves seemed to be constantly making gestures, pushing up and down the wide sleeves from time to time, obviously communicating in sign language.

Tan Zong has also known that blind language is one of sign language. In addition, there is also a common set of sign language in the army. Therefore, although Tan Zong knew that the three people were communicating in sign language, he was not sure about the sign language routines of these people, so he could only guess secretly.

However, only looking at the frequent communication between the opposite side, Tan Zong could guess that there seemed to be a disagreement among the three.

After a while, it seemed that the leader had a unified opinion, and the person in charge turned around. Tan Zong's eyes were sharp, and when he saw that the man had a solemn expression on his face, he couldn't help but feel that there were some variables he could not expect tonight.

"Tan Xiucai also said before that the thief was taken away. Unfortunately, no one seemed to have seen it. Therefore, it is difficult for us to comment on whether this is true or false. However, since there is no one at this time, I am afraid that I will have to go with us tonight. I will wait until the government office is opened tomorrow, and we will report to the prefect Wang, and then the prefect Wang will come to investigate one or two." After that, he made a gesture, but asked the two people behind him to lock up Tan Zong.

Hearing the words of the supervisor, Tan Zong couldn't help but be stunned: He tried every means to make such anger, and then opened his voice to attract you guys. Didn't he just want to avoid such a thing? It's so good now, but he didn't expect the wolf to drive it away, but he also called the tiger - if he really got locked and threw it into prison, it would be difficult to come out again!

Although Tan Zong has only worked in taxation, he knows a lot of things even if he can't be called a wise man. After all, this has been done in the future - it's easy to get in, but it's difficult to get out!

This is a typical example of not eating pork and getting stinky!

Tan Zong really regretted it a little.

Seeing the two people approaching slowly, Tan Zong struggled even more psychologically. He didn't know if he was going to surrender, or if he wanted to fight, or if he wanted to express his innocence with a few words about long live democracy.

But before the two men approached Tan Zong, Zhang Henian jumped out first, stood in front of Tan Zong, and shouted: "Let's wait!"

"Oh, what else can Lord Zhang see?" The supervisor frowned slightly, waved his head, but signaled to stop.

As I said before, Zhang Henian didn't know what happened, but he actually liked Tan Zong. At this moment, seeing Tan Zong being taken away by someone as a suspect who was taken away in front of him, how could he still be able to bear it? That's why he called for a stop.

"Mr. Cao," Zhang Henian bowed and said to the supervisor who led the leader: "Have you ever seen anyone who set fire to the fire in the fire scene after setting fire? Don't say I'm waiting, let's look at the people present, who are willing to save a few books like Tan Yayuan to save their lives? If this is the case, I'm afraid there will be no good people in this world. Don't say that I'm not convinced at this time, I'm afraid that it's hard for me to convince the lawsuit to the cabinet masters."

"Oh?" The supervisor named Cao flashed a playful smile in his eyes. After thinking for a while, he said, "What should I do with that Lord Zhang? Could it be that this scholar Tan is not suspicious?"

Previously, Zhang Henian intended to say that Tan Zong was Yayuan, but now Chief Cao said that Tan Zong was a scholar. This title alone was a bit inconsistent, let alone the meaning in the two of them was afraid that the same thing seemed to be more inconsistent.

So, as soon as the words of Supervisor Cao came out, not to mention Zhang Henian, even the two colleagues behind him were also popular and wanted to bully him and argue with Supervisor Cao.

This action was not important, but Supervisor Cao frowned again and raised his hand and said, "Can you want to have troubles?"

Although the word "extraordinary" in Cao's words is used implicitly, except for those servants who are still putting out fires, no one who is not an old man who has been in the officialdom for a long time. He immediately understood the warning in his words - that is, these supervisors, and some others would not dare to say such threatening words like this.

At this time, Tan Zong calmed down and even had the leisure to observe the hand of Superintendent Cao. He felt that the man had a long five fingers. Taking the description in a martial arts novel as an example, he was probably a good hidden weapon.

By the way, this is the first time that Tan Zong knew that the supervisor who had always appeared as a spokesperson actually had his surname Cao.

In fact, at this moment, Tan Zong knew very well that if Zhang Henian continued to argue with Chief Cao, he would be afraid that even if there was nothing to do, he would have some trouble. After this gust of wind, although Zhang Henian could not say anything, he would definitely feel quite regretful to face Chief Cao. Maybe he would have other thoughts about Tan Zong himself. At that time, Tan Zong's previous good impression would definitely be full of all.

So, no matter what, Tan Zong could no longer let Zhang Henian confront Supervisor Cao.

"I can't say that I have to be a hero again." Tan Zong sighed slightly in his heart, took two steps ahead from Zhang Henian, and then fell slightly behind Zhang Henian. Then he sang and said, "Two sirs, listen to me."

In fact, Tan Zong’s idea is correct.

Although Zhang Henian was young and successful, it was not because of someone behind him, but because he was accustomed to being a good person. No matter whether he was a colleague or a boss, no one said that he was bad. This person was accustomed to doing things and wrote a good article, so he has been praised by the Ministry of Personnel for many years.

Just now, Zhang Henian had not yet drunk enough, so he had a conflict with Supervisor Cao. But now he was blown by the cold night wind and was affected by the fire wind in the fire scene. The cold and hot inside and outside were dispelling Zhang Henian's drunkenness a lot. He immediately saw the situation on the field and was already complaining secretly.

However, the situation at this time could not tolerate Zhang Henian shrinking back, and he would have to fire the arrow without firing it. At this time, even if he had to bite the bullet, he would have to push it forward.

Therefore, when Tan Zong suddenly jumped out, although Zhang Henian still looked ugly on his face, he couldn't help but relax and secretly burst into his mouth with a big turbid air.

The police officer Cao didn't seem to have expected that Tan Zong would jump out at this time, so he looked at Tan Zong with a somewhat suspicious look, as if he couldn't figure out what Tan Zong wanted to do now.

"Two sirs, can you let Tan Zong report?"

In fact, before coming out, Tan Zong had already thought about it: judging from the situation of Superintendent Cao, I was afraid that he would be inevitable to go to the prison in Nanjing. But when he went back, he could not go there. If someone was tampered with it, he would be able to die by washing his face, hiding and hiding, or something, it would be unpaid.

Therefore, before going, the footnotes here will be nailed to death. More importantly, Zhang Henian must remember that there are still people waiting for him to catch them in prison. Even if Superintendent Cao has to nail them, he must not forget to throw himself in.

"According to what Lord Cao said, Tan Zong was in the fire and no one proved it, this suspicion is really not light. Even if it is me, I am afraid he will also have to doubt it."

Speaking of this, Tan Zong was interested in looking at Supervisor Cao, but saw that Supervisor Cao's expression was not moved at all. Obviously, he was not moved by Tan Zong's move of retreating as an advance. He immediately cursed in his heart and blamed himself for expressing his wrong feelings. Fortunately, Tan Zong's biggest reliance was not Supervisor Cao, so he calmed down his mind and continued: "It's just that in terms of Dashun Rule, although Tan Zong has no evidence, it is reasonable, so this suspicion is also dispensable."

As soon as Tan Zong said this, Zhang Henian shouted out "ah", then his expression suddenly turned joyful, and the eyes that looked at Tan Zong became more and more admirable.

It turns out that after Tan Zong came to this strange ancient world from later generations, except for going to the provincial examination for the first three days, he not only drank with a group of classmates in the following few days, but also searched for some historical books and criminal laws for the rest of the time, and this great rule was naturally the top priority.

After Tan Zong saw it, from the perspective of Tan Zong's later generations, he found that there was a very interesting rule in this great rule: the later generations said that it was the naked law that discriminated against the working people - among scholars, farmers, industry and commerce, the three farmers, industry and commerce practiced the great rule based on guilt inference, while scholars practiced the inference on guilt inference.

With this point, Tan Zong completely realized the political cruelty of feudal society.

However, Dashun Li's definition of scholars was quite strict: those who passed the provincial examination could be called scholars! The rest of the people, even the children of officials, were not included in this list. Naturally, the children of the royal family would be punished separately, and they had their own royal family law, which was not included in the Dashun Li's criminal law. However, Tan Zong had investigated intentionally or unintentionally and found that the Dashun Dynasty's discipline of the royal family was quite strict, and it really had an allusion that the prince violated the law and committed the same crimes as the common people - and this was naturally the work left by Taizu.

However, no matter what, Tan Zong is now benefiting from the big and straight lines. After all, Cao Cao himself said before that delays in the inspection are just some minor details. Although Cao Cao has always called Tan Zong a scholar, he just suspected that Tan Zong was setting fire, but he could not deny Tan Zongyayuan's identity - this was written by the cabinet, and he couldn't even think about it!

Therefore, as long as the inspection procedures are completed, even if Supervisor Cao has any objections, he will probably call him Tan Zong aloud!

And Tan Zong is going to have such a name now - once Ya Yuan's name is confirmed, even if Tan Zong enters the Nanjing Prison as a suspect, he is afraid that the jailer will have to treat one or two differently!

Moreover, with this real Yayuan identity as a foundation, Tan Zong can get a little bit of confidence in his heart, and by the way, he can also understand the thought in his heart. It is really a killing of two birds with one stone.

At this moment, Tan Zong deliberately mentioned the words "Da Shunlu" and "Reasonable" in front of everyone, so he would be reminding Zhang Henian naked.

Zhang Henian was naturally extremely intelligent. He continued Tan Zong's words without thinking: "Tan Yayuan's words are in line with each other. Even if Superintendent Cao wants to imprison Tan Yayuan, he still needs to allow Tan Yayuan to complete the test of the paper."

Speaking of this, Zhang Henian's eyes swept over Tan Zong's outfit like a beggar on the street, but a little guilty appeared in his heart, and then continued: "Besides, Tan Yayuan was trapped in the fire scene and suffered this injury. He had to invite a famous doctor to treat Tan Yayuan. Even this Confucian shirt was destroyed. It really insulted the identity of our literati and others, and it still needs to be changed."

As soon as Zhang Henian said this, Tan Zong felt that all his previous efforts were in vain. It would be absolutely false to ask Tan Zong to say that he did not feel pain. After all, anyone is born with flesh. In order to avoid the search of those people in the palace, Tan Zong held it in the fire for a few minutes before running out.

Afraid of being discovered by those who came in to search, Tan Zong even knocked down several bookshelfs and then hid himself in it. Although he had avoided several places when igniting the fire, the fire was not so easy to control.

Therefore, there are nearly ten burns of all sizes on Tan Zong's body. The biggest affected area is not the arm that Zhang Henian saw, but Tan Zong's back. Tan Zong's own guess is that he is afraid that his entire back will be scalded off by the high temperature of the bookshelf. Before, it was just that Tan Zong was afraid that he would lose his mediation, which would lead to the inability to do the final thing, so he has been holding on.

It would be fine if Zhang Henian didn't say it. With Zhang Henian's reminder, Tan Zong remembered that he was still wearing this burn. He suddenly felt hurt all over his body, and his back was even more burning.

Although Tan Zong was trying his best to hide the pain, it was not so easy to bear. Even if he could not touch it with his hands, the expression on his face could not be concealed: Tan Zong tried his best to restrain his hands and feet, but his body shook without hearing, and his face was grinning.

What everyone was surprised at was that Cao did not refute Zhang Henian's words, but instead bowed to Tan Zong and said, "Mr. Zhang said very well, this is Qiao Mu's negligence."

Tan Zong almost thought he had heard it wrong, because the words of Superintendent Cao, who claimed to be Qiao Mu, actually brought a little apology.

"I'll go to test the papers here." Cao Qiaomu led his hand, but asked Zhang Henian to leave first, and then said to the two behind him: "Wait and go to the city to find a doctor, and you must have a good diagnosis and treatment for Tan Xiucai."

Seeing the two men leaving in response, Tan Zong finally felt completely relieved, knowing that he had done everything he could, and he would not have the chance to work harder in the future, just afraid that "doing his best to do his best" would be the case.

"Fortunately, the original death was broken by myself, otherwise I wouldn't know what tricks the royal palace left for me. Now with the care of Cao Qiaomu and the protection of Zhang Henian, I wouldn't expect anything else." Thinking of this, Tan Zongxin turned around and happened to see the man who pretended to be a mute servant rushed out of the fire.

Although the man was also covered in darkness and embarrassing black, he seemed to be ignorant of the spirit. Moreover, the mute servant was holding a little thing in his hand, but what was the burned tent book?

Seeing the manager's expression of sadness and joy under the fire, Tan Zong smiled slightly in his heart, but he knew that the fire was probably not so easy to burn, and he might even burn the palace to the sky: "Look clearly, I offended me, but I didn't have such easy life."

As the sound of elegant silk and bamboo in the palace courtyard of the Wangfu, Wang Dong leaned on a singer's body. His slender hands, like a woman, had already passed through the singer's clothes and penetrated into the inside. He only looked at Wang Dong's enjoyment look, and then looked at the faint spring on the singer's face. Even the blind man knew where Wang Dong's hand was placed.

"Young master, Miss Little Man is here." The servant came in and reported, but he lowered his head from beginning to end, but he did not dare to raise his head and take a look at the music stage.

The servants of the royal family knew that although the women above were all singers, musicians, and prostitutes, they were all forbidden pieces of the prince in the royal family. Not to mention that they were moved, even if they took a look, they would probably lose their heads.

"Oh? Why is she here?" Wang Dong seemed to be not satisfied with Xiaoman's arrival. After thinking for a long time, he ordered someone to bring Xiaoman in.

"Young Master." Xiaoman said to Wang Dongfu for a blessing, but Xiaoman ignored the singer who was sneering beside Wang Dong and said directly: "I heard a piece of news from the lady, and I will report to you."

"News? What news is worth your coming now?" Wang Dong couldn't help but look surprised: "I'm afraid I'm going to be a curfew now. How did you get born?"

"Nu Nu said it was the young master's person, so the military men naturally brought Xiaoman over to find him." Xiaoman suddenly smiled charmingly, and then turned around in front of Wang Xing. The goose yellow long skirt floated up like auspicious cloud, and the moon-white underwear inside Xiaoman's skirt was slightly out of the moon-white underwear.

"Young Master, my person?" Wang Dong's eyes lit up suddenly, and he couldn't help laughing and said, "Aren't you the one I, Wang Dong!"

After saying that, Wang Dong put his left hand in his arms and hugged Xiaoman who had been spinning beside him: "Tonight, my grandson will let you become a member of my royal family!"

"Nu Nu listens to the young master." Xiaoman said shyly: "But Nu Nu has important matters to tell the young master."
