Probably due to habit, Liu Tong was a little fascinated when he heard King Rui talk about the case. Pen "Fun" Pavilion www.biquge.info

It happened that there was still a rubbings of the case file on King Rui's desk, Liu Tong looked for it, and immediately began to discuss the clues of the case with King Rui.

The two talked for more than half an hour, and it was not until the next person came to report to King Rui that someone was coming to visit, and the conversation between the two was interrupted.

King Rui asked Liu Tong to sit for a while, and he went to meet the guests, and only came back after a while.

Liu Tong said: "Fifth brother looks very busy, has there been a lot of things in the DPRK and China recently?" ”

King Rui sighed: "It's all some miscellaneous things, but it's not a lot of things. Wasn't it a spring stump before? Scholars who have gained fame always have to find a place to settle down, but there are so many official positions, how can the old and wise people compare with the number of new officials? One by one, they are all going through the doorway, and they all want to find a good seat......"

King Rui waved his hand: "Forget it, these are trivial matters, and the most important thing now is the case of Jiangdong's invasion of land." There are many people who pay attention to this case, and it is also because it involves many officials in Jiangdong. If these people are really pulled down and vacated official positions, there will be too many. ”

Liu Tong didn't handle the case for a long time, but he still remembered the procedures for handling the case very clearly, and when he asked, "To what extent has this case been investigated?" ”

"The list of beneficiaries behind the land invasion is already available, and now is the time to find out and let people tell the truth." Rui Wang said: "But you also know that how many of those old oilmen in the officialdom will tell the truth?" How to put it tactfully, they are so well cultivated, it is not easy for people to catch the horse's feet. ”

King Rui pressed his temples with some headaches, and after a pause, he said, "I see, Ninth Brother, you are a little interested in this case, or you will take this case over for trial?" Everyone has already been brought to Beijing, and it is only necessary to interrogate and draw the detainment. You don't have to go to Koto. ”

Liu Tong sat up straight: "Fifth brother wants me to take over this case?" ”

King Rui pondered for a moment and said, "You just came out of Zhongguan Hutong, but you can use this case that is about to be closed to establish your authority, and it will be easier to handle the case in the future." It's just ......"

Rui Wang looked at Liu Tong: "There are many officials involved in this case, even if it is a trial, I am afraid that it cannot be lynched." If you want to investigate this case clearly, I am afraid that you will definitely offend people. ”

Liu Tong is not afraid of offending people, but he feels that his fifth brother's words today seem to be a bit much.

Liu Tong was silent for a while, and repeatedly chewed on what King Fang Cairui said, use this case to establish authority, and it will be easier to handle the case in the future.

It will be easy to handle the case in the future......

Does the fifth brother want him to be a case-handling person in the future?

Liu Tong frowned, he actually did not reject King Rui arranging for him to do things, let alone refuse the positioning that King Rui gave him. It's just that Liu Tong hopes that King Rui will let him do something, and he can give him a clear and clear explanation.

It's not like this, with a little coaxing, but there seems to be something between the brothers.

Even if his fifth brother is extraordinary in the future, Liu Tong hopes that in private, he is still only his fifth brother.

"Fifth brother." After Liu Tong figured it out, he raised his head and looked directly at King Rui, and said, "Fifth brother, what are your plans for me, you can tell me clearly, you don't need to wear a mask like everyone else." How do you ...... It makes me feel strange, and I feel uncomfortable. ”

King Rui shook his face slightly, and the hand that sorted out the file shook slightly.

As if he had been broken by humanity and didn't need to hide it anymore, Rui Wang let out a long breath, reached out and pinched the corners of his eyes on both sides of the bridge of his nose, and said while rubbing it: "I'm sorry, Xiao Jiu, I'm probably used to this, and I subconsciously pretended to look in front of you......"

Liu Tong was silent, feeling a little uncomfortable in his heart.

"Fifth brother is tired, right?"

"Hmm." Rui Wang nodded, his originally upright posture also relaxed, and the whole person was paralyzed as if he had no bones: "Very tired." ”

Liu Tong smiled on his face: "If the fifth brother is tired, give yourself a holiday, don't force yourself too hard." ”

"That's not going to work." Rui Wang said lightly: "Since the day I made my decision, I haven't relaxed for even a day. If the dust does not settle for a day, do not let up for a day. ”

Liu Tong's face was slightly moved.

At the beginning, he always felt that his fifth brother was much stronger than the crown prince.

Now that the crown prince has fallen, his fifth brother has gained an absolute advantage, but the joy in his heart is not so strong.

It turned out that he was in such a high position, and Rao was a smart person like his fifth brother, and he had to tremble, walking on thin ice to guard the victory, and there was no moment of relaxation.

No wonder his fifth brother had to wear an invisible mask to deal with everyone, and gradually became moody.

This is the price that must be paid to ascend to that highest position.

Liu Tong lowered his head, and said softly after a while: "Fifth brother, I don't know the people next to me, but you can trust me absolutely." ”

Liu Tong raised his head and looked at King Rui: "What do you need me to do, just ask." The younger brother does everything. ”

King Rui looked at Liu Tong silently for a while, then supported his split legs with his elbows, crossed his hands, and said in a low and powerful voice: "Xiao Jiu, you know my ambitions, right?" If I am the emperor, I will definitely build an inviolable iron bucket country with my own hands, a legendary dynasty where the country is rich and the people are strong. In terms of defending against the enemy externally, I have generals in my hands, but in terms of governing the country internally, I have no skills. The word greed is always elusive. There are almost no people I can trust 100%, and you are one of them. ”

Liu Tong nodded, his eyes showing excitement: "Fifth brother can trust me, I'm very happy." ”

"Of course I can trust you, along the way, if anyone will never leave me, it is only you Xiao Jiu." King Rui took a deep breath, stood up and said, "You ask me what I need you to do, then I will understand." I need, when I ascend the throne as the emperor, you will be a knife in my hand, a sharp knife that can investigate the injustices of the people in the world and kill the beasts and people in the world. ”

Liu Tong's heart was surging when he heard this, and King Rui followed closely: "If you are willing, this Jiangdong land invasion case is your case of trying this sharp knife." ”

Liu Tong clenched his fists, stood up abruptly and said, "Fifth brother, I listen to you." ”

King Rui looked at him for a while, then hugged him heavily, and patted him on the back with his hand: "You have thought clearly about Xiao Jiu, if you make this knife, you will definitely be the object of fear of all officials in the future." For every case you handle, you will have one more enemy. The decision you make in response to my suggestion will put your life and death on the cliff, and if you are not careful, you may lose your life......"

Liu Tong smiled lowly: "But Fifth Brother you need this knife, and the only person who can qualify to become this knife is me, isn't it?" ”

Liu Tonghui hugged King Rui, and also reached out and patted him on the back a few times: "Fifth brother, I will bear these dangers for you." Don't let down your ambitions, I'm waiting to see you create a prosperous country. (To be continued.) )
