Chapter 89 King Jin (1)
This is a very real problem, because she already has what she wants.
So what do they mean to her now?
Bad luck on them.
Xu Shanshan only intends to "specialize in" the career-oriented Wei Canghao... and the magic weapon that he has not yet obtained.
She was afraid that she had completely forgotten that she had praised Gu Yue Jiarong Huizhi Lan Xin before.
Xu Shanshan looked at the three men nervously, worried that they would suddenly explode.
Let’s not say it’s hysterical, but I definitely have to punish the second sister with words and words, complaining about her chaos in the beginning and abandonment in the end.
It was just an imaginary picture in her mind, but it did not appear.
Chi Jiangdong had already known what kind of evil character Xu Shanshan was. She was kind-faced and cold-hearted, independent and independent. As long as he had seen her ruthlessness in her actions, he would not expect her to be much of a normal person. emotion.
He took a deep breath and tried to calm down his explosive temper, but his words could not avoid being stained with a bit of grievance and anger.
"Xu Shanshan, I can't stop you wherever you go and what you do, but you can't control where I go and what I do. I lent you the things on my own initiative. I won't rush to get them. Come back, but I have to keep an eye on you, what if you accidentally lose it?"
The smile on Xu Shanshan's lips did not change, and he said lightly: "It's up to you."
Unlike Chi Jiangdong's radical approach, both Master Jiashan and Gu Yuejiarong chose to "retreat bravely".
In other words... retreat to advance.
Master Jiashan's pure and compassionate face was slightly gloomy. He lowered his eyelids and said in a clear voice: "Almsgiver Xu may have misunderstood. Jiashan is not an entanglement, but a promise... Yongjian, but before you agree, Poverty The monk will never come forward so recklessly again.”
Xu Shanshan doesn’t feel guilty at all. She knows that Jiashan pursues her so hard because he is worried that she will do evil and become a devil, and wants to keep an eye on her and monitor her. .
She curved her lips and smiled, her attitude was kind, but her words were wrong: "If Master Jiashan has no time, it is better to help the poor, eliminate violence, promote good and punish evil. As for me, you may not be able to survive, even if it is Your master, Abbot Jialan, would not dare to make such an ambitious wish as yours.”
Jiashan raised his eyelids, his eyes clear and untainted, but he remained silent.
Gu Yuejiarong's feelings towards Xu Shanshan were also quite complicated, but it was undeniable that he truly regarded her as his student and wanted to educate her to become a talented person.
"Since you have this plan, I won't force you. I just hope that you can be studious and diligent in your spare time. You must know that there is no limit to learning." His eyes were gentle and he warned her earnestly.
Xu Shanshan met his eyes and saw that Gu Yuejiarong was a very easy person to get along with. His personality was neither anxious nor anxious, and he could advance and retreat appropriately. People are also good-looking, with bright jade mountains and beautiful branches, and they are pleasant and humble in dealing with others.
He has good character and high morals. He is not only smart, but also has both IQ and EQ. However, he has not grown up to be an honest person in the traditional sense. When it comes to playing tricks, he must be The most powerful one among the four.
"Shan has recorded Mr.'s teachings."
Both parties were harmonious and kind, and there was an inexplicable air of "well-behaved" about them. Xu Shanshan was also convinced.
It turns out that her second sister is the real "skilled charioteer". She doesn't need to learn any balance at all, because as long as she suppresses them with force, they will become fierce and silent.
Wei Canghao saw that Xu Shanshan was so "turning against them" and these people still wanted to "break the ties". He didn't know whether to praise "Xu Shanshan" for his ability or lament that they were too unambitious. , being led by the nose.
Wei Canghao intervened at this time. He clasped his fists and said loudly: "Wei has something important to attend to, so I won't talk to you anymore. Goodbye."
The three of them saw this coming. There was no room for change in Xu Shanshan, so he said goodbye to them gracefully. Anyway... see you later.
Chi Jiangdong clasped his fists: "Goodbye."
Jiashan nodded: "Take care."
Guyue Jiarong and Wei Canghao said: "When I have some free time, I will visit the elders of the Wei family."
The mountain chief and the other teachers and students didn't know the relationship between these people, so they didn't even understand what they were eating. They only understood that the four of them were fighting for another... man? !
“Xu Chu, don’t you really consider becoming a guest host in our academy?”
Seeing that someone was about to leave, Laoshan finally found a chance to chat and couldn’t wait to talk. Want to seize the last chance to persuade.
All the teachers and students of Yingtian Academy: "..." Unexpectedly, even the old mountain chief came to grab people. I have to say that this "Xu Shan" is really in short supply.
"Don't worry, the treatment of teachers at Yingtian Academy is the best in Longdong. If you are willing, you don't have to come every day, just pick a time. I will ask the students to turn down other courses and just focus on Waiting for your priority."
The old master wants to invite a master to control the house, and "Xu Chu" is undoubtedly the best candidate.
Xu Shanshan naturally knew what the old mountain master was planning. She asked curiously: "Does the mountain master know what skills I have learned?" How dare he ask her to teach students?
Well, Lao Shanzhang really didn’t know. He just guessed that she should learn some kind of Qimen Dunjia or something... But when he suddenly heard her asking this question, he was at a loss.
Without waiting for his answer, Xu Shanshan said again: "Chief, our sect is very strict in accepting disciples, and the disciples we have taught...are either endangering the surrounding world or not doing their job properly. Therefore, our sect has decided not to accept any more disciples." I'm gone."
The old mountain leader was stunned for a while, until he looked into her serious and deep eyes and said with a smile: "Haha, are you kidding me?"
She looks quite normal. Why do you say that people from their kind of teaching can harm the world?
Others also looked disbelieving, thinking she was just talking, and didn't take it seriously at all.
But anyone who knows Xu Shanshan a little bit knows that she never tells lies. When she meets someone who doesn't want to answer or is not interested in answering, she will just change the topic or not answer.
Jiashan's eyes as clear as autumn water were focused on Xu Shanshan, with deep thoughts and worries. Perhaps he was the only one present who believed what she said was true.
After dismissing the invitation from the headmaster of Yingtian Academy, Xu Shanshan paused for a moment before leaving with Wei Canghao.
She said something meaningful to Chi Jiangdong, Jiashan and Gu Yuejiarong: "A word of advice, don't trust people easily, even if the other person has absolute reputation and high status, especially when you vaguely sense that something is wrong. It's best to stay away to avoid disaster."
Chi Jiangdong, Jiashan and Guyue Jiarong were shocked by her parting words.
Although I didn’t understand what she meant, I couldn’t help but start to wonder about the meaning of this sentence.
What does it mean that the other party has absolute reputation and lofty status, but cannot be trusted easily?
And when you notice something is wrong, it’s best to stay away... This sounds serious, but it’s too mysterious. I feel like it’s all based on random imagination. What if I guess wrong? , wouldn’t this lead to disaster?

Huaijiang County Yamen, living room
After looking through the case files, Xu Shanshan said to the county man who had changed into official uniform: "The Lei family reported The Xu family sells illicit salt, and the people who testify against the Xu family are also members of the Lei family. Doesn’t the county magistrate think there is something wrong with this case being decided on such a biased basis?”
The county magistrate was willing to put down his arrogance and meet with the descendants of the Xu family in private to give the head of the Wei family face. Later, when he learned that Xu Shanshan was actually the fiancée of the head of the Wei family, he immediately felt a chill running down his spine and cold sweat broke out on his forehead. At first, I saw that the Xu family had a clean background and no heirs, so I didn't have any worries. Little did I know that there was such a great god hiding behind them.
"There are all the witnesses and physical evidence, and I was caught in the act. Miss Xu, how can you tell me how to sentence me?" the county magistrate asked her.
Xu Shanshan turned his head: "Mo Han, come and tell this official, if you were the county magistrate, how would you investigate and judge the case?"
Mo Han was brought here It was Xu Shanshan's request. At that time, not only Wei Canghao couldn't understand, but even Mo Han himself didn't understand why she had to take him with her.
Now that he was called, Mo Han strolled forward. This time, he changed into a loose shirt often worn by literati. Although his facial features were not exquisite and three-dimensional, they were still dignified, and he had some gentleness, elegance, and knowledge.
He thought for a moment, bowed to the county magistrate, and said: "The content of the report by the whistleblower must first be understood by asking the local security chiefs and armor chiefs to learn about the other party's recent whereabouts... and according to legal documents, the report The accuser cannot be related to the person who testified, in order to prevent collusion..."
His eloquent explanation was both rigorous and objective, and he related the case handling process through his own theory and judicial trials. Combined and finally closed perfectly.
Although what he said has not been formally investigated, arrested, tried, or judged, it sounds feasible just by listening to it.
Wei Canghao looked at Mo Han with some surprise. This man usually followed Xu Shanshan, not showing off the mountains and rivers, but he was able to perform like this at the critical moment. He really underestimated him.
The county magistrate was speechless by what he said, and he even became a little angry. If Wei Canghao hadn't been there to suppress him, he would have protested against them and scolded them for being bold!
Wei Canghao saw the county magistrate's ugly look, his face darkened, and he exerted pressure invisibly: "We have collected all the evidence of the crime, and now we have even taught you the process of handling the case. This time Presumably the county magistrate will not make any wrong judgments again, right?"
The county magistrate dared not speak out, so he could only sigh and said: "Master Wei, I know that there is something hidden in this case, but this case ...There are people from above who are suppressing me, and there is nothing I can do about it. Otherwise, I will pretend that I didn’t know about the three Xu family members’ escape from prison, and let’s not mention it again.”
Hearing this. , Xu Shanshan and Xu Shuishui were the first to refuse.
The two siblings have experienced all kinds of things in the world, and their minds have matured very quickly. As soon as they heard this, they guessed that the King of Jin must be behind this. After all, the Lei family is just an ordinary businessman, how could they The magistrates and magistrates of all the prefectures are so afraid of this.
Xu Shanshan directly broke through the layer of cryptic paper. Her eyes were filled with cold and sharp light: "Did King Jin put pressure on you?"
The county magistrate immediately stiffened his face and became flustered. He said: "This... can't be said."
He quickly looked out the window for fear of being eavesdropped.
Wei Canghao saw that he was as timid as a mouse. In the silence, the invisible pressure became heavier and heavier: "You can go find out the truth, and I will solve the rest."
The county magistrate is a scholar, but now he is suffering and anxious. He wants to imitate those hot-tempered men and slap his thighs to vent his emotions.
"How to solve it? Can you still kill King Jin?" he blurted out.
As soon as he finished speaking, his face turned green with regret, and he secretly cursed himself for being so confused by them that he could say such words without restraint.
Xu Shanshan said: "How can killing him be considered a solution?"
When the county magistrate heard what she said, he thought, she is somewhat sane, but what she will do next However, he was completely frightened.
“Of course we have to deal with Prince Jin’s family and his in-laws together.”
Cutting off the roots has always been Xu Shanshan's approach. She didn't mean to kill one to scare a hundred people, or to kill a hundred people if they made a hundred mistakes.
The county magistrate opened his mouth wide and looked at her in shock.
Is she crazy?
What is she going to do?
Prince Jin, no, in fact, today's Prince Jin has already privately called himself emperor, but most people have not changed this title yet, and still call him Prince Jin in private.
Xu Shanshan and Xu Shuishui both looked at her with admiration and surprise, perfectly interpreting the meaning of blind trust. Mo Han lowered his eyebrows, his eyes fell deeply, and began to comprehensively analyze what would happen to them if they were enemies with King Jin. There are some chances of winning.
And Wei Canghao stared at Xu Shanshan absentmindedly, calming down the complicated and strange emotions in his eyes.
Although he has such arrogant and confident thoughts from time to time, firstly, he may not be able to do it, and secondly, he cannot brag about Haikou in public like Xu Shanshan, cutting off his own retreat.
Compared with her, is he too indecisive and not decisive enough?
Now that we have awakened and taken action, maybe the right solution is to break the boat like Xu Shanshan.
"County Magistrate, the matter with the Xu family is over. Even if the case is overturned, King Jin will not do anything to you. You can just do it. If something happens, just blame it on my Wei family. ”
The county magistrate cannot afford to offend King Jin, but he also cannot afford to offend Wei Canghao.
After thinking about it, and with some assurance from Wei Canghao, he reluctantly agreed to the matter. If the time came, he would have to reveal the affairs of the Wei family and the Xu family in order to protect himself.
After the reversal of the verdict was finalized, Xu Shanshan suddenly said: "You guys go out first. The county magistrate and I have a small matter that needs to be discussed alone."
Wei Canghao glanced at her, Knowing that she has big ideas: "I'll wait for you outside."
Xu Shanshan, Xu Shuishui and Mo Han also obeyed and went out together.
"County Magistrate, you should have the household registration files of the entire Jianghuai population, including those of the King of Jin, right?" Xu Shanshan asked him.
The county magistrate was a little worried about Xu Shanshan. He always felt that she was like a madman wearing a calm and composed skin, but she was full of crazy thoughts.
"Why are you asking this?" He was wary in his heart.
“Tell me.”
She spoke again, but it became an irresistible command.
The county magistrate's eyes suddenly changed, and he said blankly: "Yes."
"Go and get everything related to King Jin."
"Yes."
He entered the side hall like a manipulated puppet, summoned the guards at the door, and asked them to get it. After a while, they came back, and the county magistrate placed a stack of case files on the table.
Xu Shanshan sent the county magistrate to the side to think about his fault, and she slowly started to flip through it. She closed the last page and showed an unexpected smile: "It turns out it is true... No wonder it has been like this all these years." Hiding in Longdong and not daring to see me.”
