Happy Little Scholar

Compared with the Ministry of Household Affairs and the Ministry of Officials, the Ministry of Works, one of the six departments, seems to be less important. However, the fact that the Minister of the First Department was taken to the Ministry of Punishment for investigation was still a big turmoil for the entire court.

Although we don't know what the outcome will be, judging from the current situation, Li Shilang is probably in danger.

The results of investigations by the Criminal Department or the Secret Service have always been the results His Majesty wants. If you really want to investigate them meticulously, there will be no one in the court who is not guilty.

Fortunately for other officials, although His Majesty has changed greatly these days, and even his temper has become violent. He is far less tolerant and tolerant of the mistakes of his courtiers than before, but it is only within a certain limit.

This time, Li Shilang of the Ministry of Industry happened to exceed that limit.

However, for other officials, Jinghe's second to third year was really a bad year.

Officials in the faction suffered one by one, and now it was the turn of the fourth-rank officials. Even the King of Shu himself was expelled from Kyoto. The Prime Minister of Qin rarely spoke in the court. In just over a year, it took a few days to The advantages gained in ten years are already negligible.

His Majesty's health is getting worse and worse, but at this time he expelled the King of Shu and suppressed the officials of the King of Shu. Could it be that His Majesty is really disappointed with him and has other concerns in his heart?

These speculations and doubts began to appear in the minds of more and more people and lingered in their minds.

…

"Why are there so many idiots in this world?"

In a brothel somewhere in Kyoto, Qin Yu held a plump woman in his arms, sipped a glass of wine, shook his head and said.

Chen Lijun sighed and said, "The Li family is finished. The Minister of Punishment personally led people to raid the house today. Li Jianren's funeral has just been arranged. I'm afraid it will have to happen again."

The Li family, where the Minister of Industry is located, will be completely wiped out from the list of powerful people in Kyoto this time.

Li Jianren died, and his death was not meaningless. At least he took the entire Li family as his burial objects.

Chen Lijun raised his head and glanced. In the entire capital, few people could hate Li Yi as much as Qin Yu.

However, even he could only hold back and wonder who gave those idiots the confidence.

Bang!

Cui Chengyu threw something on the table with a crisp sound, glanced at the plump woman in Qin Yu's arms, and said, "You go out first."

"Thank you, sir!"

Seeing a crystal clear bracelet on the table, the woman's eyes widened. She grabbed it, hid it in her sleeve, and said, "Thank you, sir. Thank you, sir. I'll leave now!"

After the woman left, Qin Yu glanced at Cui Chengyu in surprise and asked, "When did you become so generous and give away glazed bracelets casually?"

"They are all worthless things." Cui Chengyu shook his head and said, "I have something to ask you."

Qin Yu sighed and said: "The Cui family is really a big family, it can't be compared, it can't be compared..."

Cui Chengyu looked at him and asked seriously: "What exactly does Prime Minister Qin think?"

Qin Yu glanced at him and asked, "Is it Cui Chengyu who is talking to me, or the eldest young master of the Cui family?"

"Young Master Qin." Cui Chengyu stood up, cupped his hands, and asked, "I need to know the attitude of your Qin family."

At this moment, he represents the Cui family. After being rejected several times by the Qin Mansion, the Cui family is eager to know the true attitude of Prime Minister Qin and the civil service group including Prime Minister Qin.

Qin Yu glanced at him, waved his hand, and said, "Sit down and talk..."

Not long after, in a teahouse opposite a brothel somewhere, a man sitting by the window watched several young people walking out of the brothel, turned around and went downstairs.

Several actors invited by the teahouse were performing on a makeshift stage, and the seats below were full of guests. The man walked to a place and whispered to the middle-aged man sitting there: "Fifth Master, they are coming out."

"Listening to a play in a teahouse is different from Goulan. It's boring. Let's go..." The middle-aged man stood up and shook his head. The two walked out of the teahouse and walked straight to the teahouse opposite.

…

Prison Department of Punishment.

The former minister of the Ministry of Industry was sitting in front of the table. This cell was extremely clean and there was no smell. The food on the table in front of him was fragrant, and there was no shortage of fine wine and food.

He filled himself a glass of wine and slowly enjoyed the meal. After a while of burning incense, he slowly wiped his mouth with a clean handkerchief, looked at the young man opposite and said, "Mr. Liu is very clever."

Liu Yishou looked at him and said, "Master Li, do you have any other food you want to eat? I'll tell them to buy it."

"The desire for food and drink is not worth mentioning." The Minister of Industry waved his hand and said: "I thought that such a day would never happen. God's calculations are not as good as those of people. I admire Mr. Liu."

"If you don't want others to know, you have to do nothing unless you do it yourself." Liu Yishou shook his head and said, "I had known this before, why did I do it in the first place?"

The middle-aged man opposite smiled and said: "When you are in the court, you can't help yourself. Mr. Liu is still young. You will understand in the future. Who dares to say that he is clean in front of and behind him in this court?" net?"

Liu Yishou looked at him and asked: "So, Mr. Li is planning to take care of those things alone? You don't know what the consequences will be if these crimes are added up, right?"

The middle-aged man shook his head and said, "Let's end this matter here. Otherwise, it will be a disaster rather than a blessing for Mr. Liu."

After a pause, he looked up at Liu Yishou and said, "Li doesn't ask for any compromise. I just hope that Mr. Liu will be merciful and leave some incense for my Li family. Li is very grateful."

"There are also reasons outside of legal principles. Mr. Li's request is not excessive." Liu Yishou nodded and said.

The middle-aged man stood up and bowed to him, "Thank you, Mr. Liu."

"But before that, I have another question." Liu Yishou nodded and looked at him.

"Master Liu, it's okay to say so."

Liu Yishou looked at him and said word by word: "How much does Mr. Li know about Yong'an Palace twenty years ago?"

The middle-aged man's expression changed drastically, but he returned to normal in an instant. He shook his head and said, "I don't know what Mr. Liu said?"

Liu Yishou glanced at him and said, "In that case, I'll take my leave!"

After saying that, he turned around and left, simply and decisively.

"Guarantee the incense of my Li family."

As he stepped out of the cell, a difficult voice came from behind him.

…

…

Among the high mountains, a team of nearly a hundred people, surrounded by several carriages, walked slowly.

"How long do you think he can sleep today? I guess ten hours." In front of a carriage, a man in yellow looked back and said.

Another man in yellow thought for a while and said: "I guess it's more than eleven hours, twelve hours a day. It can only take an hour to eat and gamble a tael of silver."

"It's a bet!"

As soon as the other person finished speaking, the curtain of the carriage was opened, and the young man asked: "Where are you?"

"If we walk for a few more days, we will reach Shuzhou." A man in yellow said immediately.

The young man nodded, but did not enter the carriage again. Instead, he leaned in front of the carriage and watched the surrounding scenery.

The man in yellow was slightly startled when he saw this, and asked tentatively: "Aren't you going to sleep?"

"I won't sleep anymore." The young man shook his head and said, "It's stuffy inside the carriage, come out and get some air."

The man in yellow counted on his fingers. In another hour, he would have slept for eleven hours in one day. He would have one tael of silver in hand, but if he continued to look at the scenery, his money would be gone. Already...

He looked at the young man and whispered: "How about you go in and sleep for a while, and I will help you roll up the car curtains and open the windows, so that it won't be too stuffy..."

The young man thought for a while, nodded and said, "That's fine."

Not long after, another sound of gnashing teeth came from outside the carriage.

"Damn, you cheated!"

…

"Woman, spare your life, Heroine, spare your life!"

On the rugged mountain road, more than a dozen bandits and bandits who were extremely ferocious just now were all kneeling on the ground, their faces turned pale and their voices trembled.

Did you see it? "The young woman holding the sword asked coldly.

"Yes, yes!"

A bald bandit nodded quickly and said: "Two days ago, a group of people like the heroine said passed by here, but there were so many of them at that time that we didn't dare to take action!"

"Where did they go?" the woman asked coldly.

"Shuzhou!"

The bald bandit immediately stretched out his hand and pointed in a certain direction.

There was no sound for a long time. He plucked up the courage and looked up. He finally breathed a sigh of relief and sat down on the ground.

The female devil is finally gone!

After a while, the bald bandit turned around and gritted his teeth and said, "Who hasn't failed yet? The first business failed. Don't worry, come back tomorrow!"

after one day.

"Senior, senior, the person you are talking about passed here three days ago and went to Shuzhou!" The bald bandit said to an old man in front of him with his face covered in blood and his whole body shaking.

"If I find out that you lied to me, be careful with your head!" The old man glanced at him and disappeared in an instant.

After a long time, the bald bandit got up from the ground, patted the dirt on his body, and walked forward in a daze.

"Brother, where are you going?" Several anxious voices came from behind.

The bald bandit wiped away his tears and said in a trembling voice: "I want to be a good person..."
