Great Wei scholar

It made Cheng Lidong a little silent.

What do you mean?

Do you know each other?

Chapter 38: Subordinates are [-]% sure

Looking at the expressions of Li Guangxin and his son.

Cheng Lidong frowned.

After he killed Wu Yan, he was seriously injured, but he managed to save his life. To Cheng Lidong, Xu Qingxiao was very important.

He can conclude that Wu Yan gave everything to Xu Qingxiao.

But he won't tell Fu Jun this clue, because Xu Qingxiao and Cheng Lidong are determined, and it's useless when the emperor comes.

As for the matter of the strange technique, it was reasonable for him to say it, and he couldn't hide it and he didn't want to hide it.

Instead, he hoped that the Fujun would give him the power to arrest Xu Qingxiao directly, and then he could interrogate him about anything.

He didn't believe that Xu Qingxiao could grit his teeth and persevere. After all, he was only entrusted by others, so there was no need to take this risk.

What Cheng Lidong didn't expect was that Fu Jun seemed to know this person.

This is not reasonable.

In terms of time, Xu Qingxiao has only just arrived in Nanyu Mansion. In a day's time, is it possible that Xu Qingxiao can turn the world upside down?

"Ping'an County, Xu Qingxiao, is his senior brother called Chen Xinghe?"

Li Xin opened his mouth and asked Cheng Lidong.

"Master, yes."

Cheng Lidong replied without hesitation, Chen Xinghe was very impressed and he was very good at pretending.

"impossible."

In an instant, Li Xin shook his head directly, denying Cheng Lidong.

"Young master, do you know Xu Qingxiao?"

Cheng Lidong didn't rush to deny it, but was curious.

"know."

"Yesterday, I held a banquet. Brother Xu made an ancient noun at the banquet. His talent entered his body, and he was promoted to the ninth rank of Confucianism and Taoism."

"You said he practiced strange arts? It's really a big joke. Confucianists, cultivating righteousness, and those who practice strange arts must have bad intentions. How can they be promoted to the ninth rank?"

Li Xin said that he supported Xu Qingxiao unconditionally. Yesterday, he regarded him as a confidant, even an idol, but now Cheng Lidong said that Xu Qingxiao practiced strange arts.

According to the laws of the Great Wei, those who practice different arts will punish the nine clans, regardless of their positions.

"Eternal term? Talent enters the body and advances to the ninth rank?"

"Young master, we may not be talking about the same person."

"This Xu Qingxiao, a month ago, was just a yamen servant in the Ping'an County Yamen. His subordinates have investigated, and Xu Qingxiao has never studied. How can he be promoted to the ninth rank in a month?"

Cheng Lidong was stunned.

He knows that Xu Qingxiao practiced strange arts and mastered martial arts, but you want to say that Xu Qingxiao was promoted to the ninth rank?

He didn't believe it.

Do not believe it.

"Ping'an County, under the tutelage of Zhou Ling, senior brother Chen Xinghe, 20 years old, is it?"

Li Xin asked.

"Yes."

Cheng Lidong nodded.

"That's a person, Cheng Lidong, are you incapable of doing things and want to catch sheep to perfuse my father?"

When Li Xin opened his mouth, he was a little sullen. After all, Cheng Lidong committed such a serious crime to the person he admired. Naturally, he couldn't accept it, and he had some complaints about Cheng Lidong.

Cheng Lidong is just a hundred households, his father's subordinates are not his own subordinates, so he doesn't need to care about the other party's feelings.

"Young master, although I, Cheng, can't do things well, I will definitely not play tricks on you. I hope the Lord will learn from you."

Hearing Li Xin's words, Cheng Lidong looked indifferent, but he didn't get angry with Li Xin, but looked at Li Guangxin and said.

"Father, no matter what, the boy doesn't believe that Brother Xu has practiced different arts. This may be a misunderstanding."

Li Xin made a sound, still adamant that Xu Qingxiao had never practiced strange arts.

"All right."

When Li Guangxin opened his mouth, his eyes fell on Cheng Lidong.

"How do you judge?"

Li Guangxin asked.

"Hui Fujun, the subordinates are as guessed as the Fujun, with [-]% certainty."

Cheng Lidong said seriously.

"Nine percent?"

Li Guangxin looked at Cheng Lidong. He knew who Cheng Lidong was, and he was extremely rigorous in his work. He could say that he was [-]% sure of it.

If it were anyone else, he would never hesitate, he probably already let Cheng Lidong arrest him.

But it would be a little troublesome to change to this Xu Qingxiao.

First of all, the term Xu Qingxiao is probably already famous in Nanyu. There are several masters in Nanyu Mansion who are very powerful, so they will definitely go to find Xu Qingxiao.

Secondly, Xu Qingxiao's talent penetrated into his body, and he was promoted to the ninth rank. This alone basically shows that Xu Qingxiao should not be able to practice strange arts. After all, most people who practice strange arts are not righteous, and they are people who have lost their morals.

Thirdly, when this poem is spread to the court, as I said just now, if those big figures appreciate Xu Qingxiao at that time, it will be a terrible trouble.

With these three points alone, he didn't dare to move Xu Qingxiao rashly, and he also didn't want Xu Qingxiao to practice strange arts.

After all, Xu Qingxiao is also from the Nanyu Mansion, so he really became a great Confucianist in the future, which can be regarded as one of his achievements in office, and even his own son can make friends with Xu Qingxiao.

Based on the current situation, his son can definitely make friends with Xu Qingxiao. If Xu Qingxiao becomes a great Confucian one day, his son's official career will be much easier.

But at this time, Cheng Lidong said this, which made Li Guangxin really embarrassed.

"Do you have any evidence?"

There is no room for jokes about strange arts, Li Guangxin looked at the latter and asked.

"This, the subordinates do not have any."

Cheng Lidong thought for a while, he really didn't have evidence, if he had, Xu Qingxiao would have been detained in Ping'an County.

Hearing this, Li Xin and Li Guangxin breathed a sigh of relief.

"There is no evidence, just speculation, and there is no conviction."

"In this way, Cheng Lidong, I allow you to investigate secretly. Now that Xu Qingxiao is well-known in Nanyu Mansion, and the mansion examination is coming soon, we must not wrong a good person, nor let a bad person go unjustly."

"You investigate secretly, but you must not leak it out. He has been promoted to the ninth rank. Although he has no fame, it will be a problem sooner or later."

"If you don't have sufficient evidence, don't act rashly, or you will be responsible for it yourself."

Li Guangxin spoke.

On the one hand, he hoped that Xu Qingxiao had never practiced different arts, so that Xu Qingxiao would be of great use to him, and could help his son, and even help himself.

But on the other hand, he was also worried that Xu Qingxiao had really practiced different arts, otherwise how would he explain it?Where is such a coincidence?

Once you really cultivate, no matter whether Xu Qingxiao made an eternal term, all living beings are equal before the law of the country.

"Subordinate...Understood."

Cheng Lidong was still full of doubts, he still didn't believe Xu Qingxiao's promotion to the ninth rank.

You must know that when I met Xu Qingxiao for the first time, there was nothing special except that he had just entered the martial arts.

But I haven't seen him for a while, but he is actually at the ninth grade of Confucianism and Taoism.

This kind of character can walk sideways in Nanyu Mansion, if he sees it, he has to respectfully call out Mr.

Before Emperor Wu, Emperor Wen of the Five Dynasties, if it weren't for the shame of Jingcheng, the status of civil servants would be higher, especially those who were strong in Confucianism and Taoism, and were recognized by heaven and earth.

This is impossible.

All of Cheng Lidong's plans were gone.

He had hoped that with the authorization of the Fujun, he would send someone to directly arrest Xu Qingxiao, and then interrogate him thoroughly.

Looking at it now, if I dared to move Xu Qingxiao without sufficient evidence, I am afraid that the Fujun will not spare me.

"My subordinate understands."

But no matter how much unwillingness he felt in his heart, Cheng Lidong could only answer calmly.

"Okay, you go down and have a good rest for a few days."

Li Guangxin waved his hand, Cheng Lidong didn't stay, turned and left.

After Cheng Lidong left, Li Xin's voice sounded.

"Father, I don't believe that brother Xu can practice different arts. He is definitely not that kind of person."

Li Xin opened his mouth and explained for Xu Qingxiao.

"Don't say more."

Li Guangxin shook his head.

"You remember a few things now."

"First, keep your distance and don't get too close. You can establish a good relationship now, but maintain the relationship properly, practice different skills, and implicate the nine clans. Once Xu Qingxiao really practiced, he would be implicated as a father."

"Secondly, investigate secretly. If he has really cultivated, he must tell his father, and he must not hide it. There is still a way out."

"Thirdly, after the mansion has passed the test, I will go to the new pavilion for my father to have a banquet for the famous people in the mansion. At that time, I will invite an orthodox Confucian. No, if the gentleman says yes."

Having said that, Li Guangxin didn't say much.

"My child understands."

Li Xin also knew how much the crime of strange arts involved, so he didn't say much.

"Also, Cheng Lidong is very ambitious, my father thinks he must be hiding something."

"You can tell Xu Qingxiao what he said today, whether you sell favors or ask for something, you can decide for yourself."

"Go."

When Li Guangxin said this, he asked Li Xin to leave.

"Yes, father."

Li Xin didn't say much, he really wanted to see Xu Qingxiao now, and telling Xu Qingxiao about this was not a favor, but he didn't believe that Xu Qingxiao would practice strange arts.

The main reason is very simple. Xu Qingxiao's performance at the banquet yesterday impressed everyone present, and Li Xin was no exception.

He became Xu Qingxiao's fanboy.

After Li Xin left.

inside the room.

Li Guangxin seemed a little silent.

His eyes fell on the white paper with Man Jianghong written on it.

Has Xu Qingxiao practiced different arts?

He really doesn't know now.

If it were anyone else, he would be fully confident.

But it happened to be Xu Qingxiao.
