"Your Majesty, the minister has indeed received a secret decree, and I hope Your Majesty will see it!" Wang Wendu shouted with a crying voice.

"I dare to talk nonsense, I have never made such a secret decree, let alone summoned you to the palace. Wang Wendu, you were the first to make thousands of soldiers in my Tang Dynasty die in the ice and snow, and now you still don't regret it. Come on, put Wang Wendu in prison and behead him on a certain day! Li Zhi said angrily.

Wang Wendu kept kowtowing and shouting grievances, and was soon pulled out by the guards, and a few days later, there was no such person in the world.

However, this matter was not easily overturned, and Li Zhi said solemnly in private: "Mother-in-law, even if Wang Wendu has great courage, I am afraid that he will not fake the holy decree, and there should be someone behind him." ”

Yuan Ziyan nodded and said, "I also think there is something strange about this matter. ”

"That being the case, why did the court, and the stepmother remove Cheng Yanjin's official position?" Li Zhi asked puzzled.

"Removing an official is not a loss of head, he can recover in the future." Yuan Ziyan said meaningfully, Li Zhi suddenly realized, praised his stepmother for her cleverness, and at the same time secretly sent someone down to investigate the matter of the holy decree, but this time it was really a secret decree.

Afterwards, when Yuan Ziyan and others gradually forgot about it, they still came to Cheng's Mansion alone at dusk that day. Not surprisingly, Cheng Yanjin was drinking stuffy wine and looked a lot thinner, but he still belonged to the fat series.

Seeing Yuan Ziyan coming, Cheng Yanjin hurriedly got up and saluted: "The criminal minister Cheng Yanjin pays a visit to the National Teacher." ”

"Come on, you know there's gas in your stomach just by listening to this breath." Yuan Ziyan rolled his eyes, and Cheng Biting Jin smiled bitterly. sighed and let Yuan Ziyan to the upper seat.

"If you make a big mistake and are disgusted by the world, it can be said that you can't guarantee the end of the season."

"Brother Cheng. I also want to ask you again, when Wang Wendu divided the spoils, did you also take a share? Yuan Ziyan asked.

"That's right, and I'm the commander, and Wang Wendu, the dead ghost, is the deputy commander, and there are a lot of points." Cheng Yanjin sighed heavily.

"Brother Cheng, I understand you. You are not a greedy person, and your family should not be short of money, so why risk your life to take these ill-gotten gains? Yuan Ziyan asked.

Wang Wendu is right. If those Hu people are not killed, they will still rebel in the future, and I don't know how many Tang soldiers will kill me. It's better to get money! Cheng Yanjin said seriously.

"You're not stupid enough to be brainwashed by Wang Wendu. Hey, Brother Cheng. You and I are not outsiders. Just say what's the difficulty. Yuan Ziyan frowned slightly, in fact, Cheng Yanjin didn't know that there was such a person as Li Shan, if he really needed money, it would be a lot of money to be properly funded, so why should he discredit himself and be greedy for this stolen money.

After another silence, Cheng Yanjin suddenly picked up the wine jar and poured it violently. With a snap, the jar was still smashed to the ground, and the liquor turned into tears and splashed out. When he lost his voice, he began to cry bitterly, as if he was full of bitterness.

"Purple smoke girl, you don't know the pain in my heart! I have a short temper and a strict army, but I have never neglected the lives of any soldiers! Wang Wendu, who was raised by this son of a bitch, froze to death to death with a secret decree of thousands of my brothers! Purple smoke, don't you see, the snow, the big, the weather, the cold, pity my brothers in life and death, they didn't spill this blood on the field, but they were frozen into ice sculptures and left in other places! ”

Cheng Biting Jin was in pain, he really couldn't talk anymore, Yuan Ziyan could imagine that scene, and couldn't help shedding tears, and after a long time, Cheng Biting Jin continued: "After a person dies, it stiffens in less than an hour, and he can't be picked up, there are too many people, and he can't bring it back, so he has to bury it on the spot." I bought them a good coffin with all my money, and laid a thick satin quilt, even if I Cheng Cheng died, I could go underground to accompany them! ”

"Brother Cheng, you really didn't disappoint me, and you are still the same as before, valuing love and righteousness."

Cheng Yanjin waved his hand and sighed: "Ziyan, although my body is quite tough, but my old eyes are dizzy, and it is easy to forget, and I am also tired of this court, what is the point of fighting, it is better to resign at home, fishing, raising flowers and birds, and be more comfortable!" ”

"Hehe, you're enlightened. Why is it that after several days have passed, why do you still sigh and drink to drown your sorrows? Yuan Ziyan asked with a smile.

Cheng Biting Jin couldn't speak, he had been busy for so many years, and suddenly he came down like this, and no one could stand it. It's just that I don't want to be an official anymore, and the others won't, so I'm not interested. What kind of fishing, staring at a fish for a long time, is simply torturing the dead! What do you say about raising flowers, even the flower pot will be broken when you pinch it with your big hand, and this playing bird, bullshit, people are annoying enough, you have to listen to its noise when you serve it!

"Brother Cheng, in fact, Your Majesty doesn't blame you, if you want, you can still return to the court, or find a place you like, and it's good to be a magistrate."

"Hey, it's true, I didn't think about what to do, but the official has done enough. Thank you for your kindness for me, I'll just stay at home, it's really not good, find old friends from the past and have fun, drink wine and eat meat, talk and laugh! ”

At the mention of old friends, Yuan Ziyan's eyes lit up, and he asked with a smile: "Brother Cheng, I have an errand, maybe it is really suitable for you." You don't have to go to court, you can also give full play to your strengths, your monthly income is definitely not low, and the most important thing is to be open and happy to do things! ”

"Oh? Tell me about it! Cheng Biting Jin's eyes lit up, he couldn't believe that there was such a thing in the world.

"Do you know the owner of Mochizuki Villa?"

"Heard a little?"

"The villa needs a martial artist, and the dart game below, Yinzhuang, etc., all need to be escorted by masters, I think you are the most suitable."

Cheng bit Jin and grinned, scratched his head vigorously, and said in a hum for a long time: "It turned out that I was asked to do this kind of guy, I am also a person who has been a general, isn't it overkill, and it will be a shame for the imperial court!" ”

Yuan Ziyan laughed, tears burst out of his eyes, Cheng Yanjin still didn't look down on this job, and after retracting his smile, he said seriously: "Li Tao is also a frequent visitor there, he is respectful to Master Li Dazhuang, and he is called a big brother, why did he bury and insult you?" Don't answer me so quickly, you can go to the cottage and ask the owner, I promise you will never come back. ”

Cheng Yanjin was skeptical, what was so good about what could make Yuan Ziyan praise so much? With the attitude of trying it out, Cheng Biting Jin relieved: "Okay, please ask Ziyan for a letter, and the right to introduce it." ”

Haha, Yuan Ziyan laughed again: "No need, just rely on your face." ”

Cheng Yanjin was completely confused, but he couldn't hold back his curiosity, and after Yuan Ziyan left, he visited Mochizuki Villa at night that night, and it looked cold and lonely outside, so tired that he couldn't see the internal structure of the villa at a high place. Because the design is so ingenious, it avoids all the high peeping points.

I asked a lot of people around me, most of them didn't know much about Mochizuki Villa, and they didn't know much about it, so Cheng Yanjin became more and more curious, so he had to clean up and go to visit.

When he arrived at the gate, when he heard the name, he didn't receive any preferential treatment, and Yuan Ziyan's so-called face brushing didn't work. Cheng Yanjin had to say that he was introduced by the national teacher and asked to see the owner, and the attendant went in to spread the word.

Cheng Yanjin is a soldier, it can be seen that these attendants are well-trained, each with their own unique skills, and when he entered the hall and saw the smiling Li Shan, Cheng Yanjin was stunned for a moment, and then cried excitedly, feeling indescribable in his heart, and his gratitude to Yuan Ziyan was even more.

As a result, Mochizuki Villa has become like another tile village, which is actually only superficial. When everyone reunited again, they had long looked down on the enthusiasm they had at the beginning, and paid more attention to life.

Therefore, it seems that in the matter of Cheng biting gold, the eldest grandson Wuji has a slight advantage, but in fact, he is a mess. Cheng Biting Jin's exit from the palace can not only deliver more valuable information to Yuan Ziyan, but also combine with Li Shan to form a more powerful civil force.

The aristocracy only focused on wooing each other, but often neglected the power of the people, and the previous kings and queens were the biggest examples. No one is elegant and noble enough, and even well-trained palace maids can't look down on her, so in the end, few people stood up to intercede for her, and let her die lonely.

And another thing also gave Wu Mei a long face, which surprised the ministers, and praised the queen for her unique vision and good knowledge!

It turned out that Di Renjie, who was on probation, with his vigorous energy and extraordinary wisdom, had actually dealt with hundreds of backlogged cases in less than three months, and it was said that dozens of them had been dealt with, but the archives could not keep up with the speed of judgment. More than 4,000 people were implicated, and the workload was almost three times that of the previous one, especially since it was ten times more likely than when it took office.

When the news came, the government and the opposition were shocked, Li Zhilong's face was happy, and Wu Mei also breathed a sigh of relief, and her gratitude to Yuan Ziyan was beyond words.

"Your Majesty, the case should be investigated carefully, there is no shortage of unjust, false and wrong cases and death cases, even if Di Renjie has the ability to reach the sky, how can he judge the case so quickly, I am afraid that there will be a suspicion of dealing with it and watching the flowers." The eldest grandson Wuji was sweating on his forehead, and in his heart, he didn't want such a talent to come to the world, which was equivalent to another fierce general among the members of Yuan Ziyan's team, and he was still a young offspring with a bright future.

Li Zhi did not refute his uncle, and nodded, "What my uncle said is reasonable. Queen, have you ever inquired about this matter? ”

"Back to Your Majesty, the concubine trusts Master Di, so naturally she will not investigate him behind her back." Wu Mei smiled slightly, and then said: "Actually, if you want to investigate what is difficult at this time, you don't need to review the files one by one, you only need to ask one thing to find out immediately." ”

"Oh? How? Li Zhi was interested, looked at his wife with a smile, and the ministers also pricked up their ears, hundreds of cases, involving more than 4,000 people, how difficult it is to investigate, if you talk about spot checks, then you have to review dozens of cases in detail.
