Chen Qinghan said with a smile, "Your sister doesn't like him very much. She thinks he is greedy for money, lustful and a idiot... This time I heard that your case is in his hands, your sister was so worried that she urged me to say hello..."

Su Heng smiled and said, "Brother-in-law believes that he can find out the truth, doesn't he?"

He thought for a moment and said truthfully, "Although this person is naughty and greedy, and not an aboveboard, upright gentleman, he is still a talented person who can do things."

Chen Qinghan smiled and did not comment on what he said, but continued, "This Zhang Zhonghuan was a second-class Jinshi in the fifth year of Jingren. He is smooth, good at flattering, and loves money as much as his life."

"He loves money, and he has many ways to make money. In the past ten years, he served as county magistrate in two provinces and three places. Everywhere he went, he crazily amassed money and searched desperately."

"But during his tenure, the people lived and worked in peace and contentment, had enough food and clothing, built bridges and roads, and established schools... Whenever there was a drought, flood or famine, there would be wealthy households who would provide money and food, and everything would be stable and orderly."

"The merchants avoid him like a snake and a scorpion, and the people worship him like the sky."

"Such a person, do you think he is a good person or a bad person?"

Chen Qinghan didn't seem to expect an answer from Su Heng. Seeing that Su Heng was deep in thought and silent, he continued, "I received a letter from my father-in-law two days ago - I wonder if you still remember my grandfather's favorite disciple, Sun Bei, Sun Shibo?"

Su Heng was startled.

It is no exaggeration to say that his grandfather's disciples were all over the world, but the one who was most famous and impressed Su Heng the most was none other than Sun Beiyang.

Not because of anything else, but——

"He was impeached again?"

Chen Qinghan smiled bitterly and nodded, "Not only him this time, but also my father-in-law was also impeached - it is said that Sun Shibo is so confident and a prey to the common people precisely because he has the support of the Su family."

Su Heng felt speechless.

This Sun Beiyang was indeed a good official who was upright and loved his people as his own son. When he was an official in Beijing, he was a master who could kill even the emperor's relatives without batting an eyelid.

But this Sun Shibo, who was known for his selflessness, honesty and integrity, seemed to be impeached every few years since Su Heng could remember, and every time he was impeached, he had to be moved.

Seeing that those people who are far less talented and capable than him have become more and more powerful in recent years, it is better for him to go further and further away from home.

Fortunately, Su Heng's grandfather has always valued this student very much. When his grandfather was still alive, his grandfather would take care of him. After his grandfather passed away, his father continued to protect him...

Su Heng couldn't help but worry, "Then father -"

Chen Qinghan comforted him, "My father-in-law will deal with it himself, you don't have to worry."

Su Heng breathed a sigh of relief, thought for a while, and whispered, "Sun Shibo, I'm afraid you are too tough..."

Chen Qinghan nodded, "If he hadn't been protected by his grandfather and father-in-law all these years, I'm afraid he would have died countless times... But despite this, Sun Shibo is still the same. It is said that many of his officials either retired early or died early.

I tried every possible means to remove him from his service; because he disdains flattery and flattery, and his superiors are extremely disgusted with him, all of which make it difficult for him to move forward in his post and make great achievements."

"Everyone loves glory in the wind and rain, and strength of iron... What my grandfather admired back then was probably Sun Shibo's fortitude that refused to go along with the troubled times."

"But it was this perseverance that became the biggest stumbling block in his career."

"With his talents and abilities, if he has some knowledge of the world and is supported by his superiors and subordinates, how can his achievements be comparable to those of Zhang Zhonghuan? But he has forced himself into such a situation - he has no blood and no pride.

, firstly, he cannot make any achievements, and secondly, he cannot shine on his family, but he is repeatedly impeached and investigated. Is it sad? Pitiable?"

Su Heng was silent for a while, then Fang cupped his hands with a serious face and said solemnly, "'If the water is clear, there will be no fish'...Heng has learned a lesson."

"I'm just chatting with you for a few words, just listen." Chen Qinghan patted his shoulder affectionately and said with a smile, "Actually, I also love people who are upright and upright. But things in this world are not all black.

Ji Bai——Although Zhang Zhonghuan has bad personal ethics, he also has a bottom line of conduct. As long as he doesn't cross the line, he may not be able to do something in the future."

Su Heng nodded, thinking of Magistrate Zhang's serious look, and said, "He has indeed refreshed my understanding of 'corrupt officials'..."

As the two of them were talking, they heard a boy knocking on the door and saying, "Master... Madam said lunch is ready. Please come with my second uncle."

"I know, tell my wife we'll be here right away."

Chen Qinghan complained to him in a low voice, "Let's leave quickly... Your eldest sister has been very angry recently. If you go late, you will be picked up again."

Su Heng smiled and said, "Yes, eldest brother-in-law."

…………………………

"'He said: We were husband and wife in the previous life, because I owed you in the previous life, so I have to work as an ox and a horse for you in this life to repay the debt'..."

Song Yunpan dropped the golden beans while listening, "This Chu Mingde is so bad... His wife was killed by him in his last life, and he still has the nerve to keep pestering her..."

Su Heng paused while flipping the book, dumbfounded, "Then why are you crying?"

Song Yunpan wiped her tears and cried, "I just feel that Zheng Niang is so pitiful. She has fallen into his hands for the rest of her life..."

Su Heng pursed her lips and whispered, "Didn't Chu Mingde say that? I married her just to pay off my debt..."

"People have killed him, how can we pay back the debt..." Song Yunpan sniffed, but did not notice that Su Heng's face was not very good-looking, and said angrily, "If Zheng Niang marries someone else, she will definitely

It's better than living with him... He has the nerve to ruin other people's marriages, it's really shameless!"

"..." The corner of someone's mouth twitched as he was inexplicably stabbed in a sore spot. He couldn't help but defend the "shameless" heartless man in the book, "He was also afraid that Zheng Niang would be wronged if she married someone else, so he wanted to protect her by himself.

...How can you call it shameless?" Seeing that Song Yunpan wanted to say more, Su Heng quickly said, "If you don't like it, I'll just read it to you in another book...How can you sleep when you cry like this?

…”

"But I still want to hear..." Song Yunpan pillowed on his lap, and because he had just cried, he spoke with a thick nasal voice, "Second cousin, please continue reading... I still want to hear the great Chu Mingde

How can the villain deceive Zheng Niang!"

"..." He was also looking for trouble on his own, and chose such a storybook to coax Song Yun into looking forward to taking a nap.

Because he was at his eldest sister's house, Song Yunpan couldn't let go. He originally thought that these words in the book were all about beautiful men and women, and beautiful stories about a match made in heaven. Who knows, he might be able to reap some benefits by thinking about it.

I didn't see the sweetness, but I almost made myself cry several times...
