Li Xun smiled. This woman turned out to be Sima Tu's wife.

"I have heard some things about him. The imperial court has its own laws and Sima Tu will get a fair verdict. There is no need for my help at all."

Even if Li Xun is not a gentleman, he is definitely not a villain. He and Sima Tu can be regarded as an acquaintance. Some time ago, Li Xun asked someone to inquire. If the matter is not big and easy, it should be regarded as a good deed. However. ..Sima Tu’s charges were not minor. He was a spy of the Hu tribe, embezzled and bribed. As a court official, he married a prostitute. Any one of them was not a small crime. After learning this, Li Xun’s thoughts calmed down. Sima Tu was dead. Is it life? How much does it have to do with myself?

This woman is Sima Tu's newly married wife. She is twenty-two years old. Her name is Shen Jing. She is twenty years younger than Sima Tu.

After Sima Tu left Li Xun, he went to Daizhou, Hedong, and took refuge with his uncle. Sima Tu's great-grandfather, grandfather, and father were all Jinshi. Although his official career was not great, by Sima Tu's generation, all four generations of his family were Jinshi. He was born as a Jinshi, and could barely be considered as an official family. Such a family background is still very good. Therefore, Sima Tu's mother's background was not too bad. She was from a wealthy family in Daizhou, the He family.

After so many years, Sima Tu has been in Momeng for a long time, but his fame is still there. Thanks to his connections with the He family, he finally found a position as a minor official in Gu County, Daizhou. Six months ago, he even He met and fell in love with a well-known prostitute in Daizhou, that is, Shen Jing, had a career, and had a family. Sima Tu originally thought that life would get better and better, but unfortunately... The idea was good, but the reality was that Very cruel.

For scholar-bureaucrats, etiquette, justice, integrity, loyalty, filial piety and justice are the most important. Sima Tu's twenty years of inhumane life in Momeng is not only not his glory, but a great shame. The country is ruined and the family is destroyed, but you still have the face. How long have you been living? What everyone felt about Sima Tu's experience was not respect, but... shame.

How could Sima Tu live a good life under everyone's senses?

Three months ago, a case of corruption and fraud broke out in Gu County. The Ministry of Officials ordered a thorough investigation. What was the final result? The county magistrate was transferred and became an official. The rest were removed from office and fined. Only Sima Tu's home was confiscated and sent to the capital, where he was eventually sentenced to a felony.

After Sima Tu's accident, Shen Jing begged too many people, and she also heard too much of what Li Xun just said.

"General, my husband-in-law was wrongly accused. If you don't help, Sima Tu and him... will be dead."

Shen Jing fell to her knees and begged loudly.

Li Xun looked at Shen Jing silently for a while, and finally shook his head: "I... don't have the ability to help him now."

Li Xun himself has too many things going on, and Sima Tu's crime is not light. If he wants to help, he will probably have to put in a lot of effort. Is Sima Tu worth it?

Shen Jing raised her head, looked at Li Xun with tearful eyes, and asked foolishly: "The general really doesn't want to help?"

Li Xun shook his head: "It's not that I don't want to, it's that I can't."

"It turns out I can't, sir..."

Shen Jing stood up, her eyes filled with despair, and she was completely lost. She muttered to herself and staggered away.

Looking at Shen Jing's leaving figure, Li Xun sighed, mounted his horse and left.

Li Xun found Shanqiu and made an appointment to go to Wanziqianhong.

Seeing Xia Zhi and Chen Shishi again, Li Xun was deeply moved. Many people said that love is overbearing and selfish. Li Xun didn't understand it before, but now he understands it.

When he first came to Longyou, Li Xun would miss Chen Shishi and Xia Zhi from time to time. He missed Chen Shishi's charm and beauty, and missed Xia Zhi's weakness. But since he fell in love with You Min, this feeling has become weaker and weaker.

.

"Li Xun, I haven't seen you for almost two years, and you haven't changed at all."

Chen Shishi still looked happy and carefree. She smiled and joked when she saw Li Xun.

Li Xun smiled: "How could there be no change? Look at me, have I become more handsome and stronger?"

Chen Shishi curled her lips and smiled and cursed: "It has changed. It has become more and more like talking on dates. She tells lies without blinking an eye."

Shan Qiu also made a joke on the side: "Why, did Li Xun blink when he told lies before?"

"This is going to be difficult. When I'm with you from now on, when I talk, it doesn't matter if I blink or not. I can just close my eyes."

Li Xun told a joke, which made everyone laugh.

Everyone sat down, and the food had already been laid out.

Li Xun looked at Xia Zhi and asked softly: "Xia Zhi, are you okay?"

We haven't seen each other for many days. Everyone was very happy and talked constantly, but only Xia Zhi remained silent and did not speak.

Xia Zhi glanced at Li Xun silently and said softly: "I'm fine."

Li Xun nodded, but for a moment he didn't know what to say.

Chen Shishi said at this time: "While you were away, Xia Zhi ate well, slept well, and was the boss. How could it be bad?"

Li Xun smiled and said: "I am very happy to know that you are doing well."

Several people were talking when Fei'er walked in and whispered a few words in Xia Zhi's ear.

Xia Zhi frowned, shook his head and said, "Tell him I have no money."

Li Xun asked: "What's going on?"

"nothing."

Xia Zhi shook her head and refused to say anything.

But Chen Shishi was straightforward: "It must be Xia Zhi's cousin. He is already thirty years old. He idles around all day and doesn't find a serious job to do. He only knows how to ask Xia Zhi for money. Who is he?"

At this point, Chen Shishi said to Fei'er: "Tell the gatekeeper that if Cheng Song comes again in the future, he will be blown away."

Fei'er glanced at Xia Zhi with a wry smile on her face.

Li Xun asked again: "What's going on?"

Xia Zhi remained silent, but Chen Shishi spoke out.

After Li Xun left, Xia Zhi and Chen Shishi made an appointment to go out for fun, and finally went to Xia Zhi's hometown, Shaozhou, Jiangnan Province, and unexpectedly found Xia Zhi's long-lost uncle. This was originally a very happy thing, and Xia Zhi was indeed very happy.

Happy, I brought all six of my uncle's family to the capital and gave them houses and land.

But... Xia Zhi's uncle has one son and four daughters. The youngest son is also the only son. He has been spoiled since he was a child. He has a frivolous personality and is good at eating, drinking and gambling. After he met Xia Zhi, his cousin, he also knew that his cousin was very talented.

People came to ask for money every now and then. Xia Zhi was very upset about this. If he gave it to him, it would harm him. If he didn't give it, Cheng Song would curse and pester him.

After listening to Chen Shishi's explanation, Li Xun nodded, thought for a while, and finally said to Xia Zhi: "Let me find something for him to do."

Xia Zhi asked: "What's the matter?"

"The Jingzhao Prefecture Inspectorate is recruiting people recently. I can help him get a job."

After hearing this, Xia Zhi hesitated: "Do you want to be a soldier? My uncle is just such a son. If..."

Li Xun smiled and said: "He is your cousin and your relative. I will not harm him."
