It snowed heavily, and the winter in the south suddenly became as snowy as in the north.

Li Shanchang sat in the warm sedan chair with an expressionless face. The most painful thing in the world is the loss of a loved one, and the most painful thing is to kill a loved one with your own hands.

Along the way, Li Shanchang remembered a lot of the past years, taught his younger brother to read, taught his younger brother to compose poetry, watched him start a family, and took him to Zhu Wu.

The more I think about it, the more it hurts, and the more I think about it, the cooler it becomes. Li Cunyi himself embarked on a dead end, and at the end of the dead end was his brother.

The Han Dynasty is a country, Zhu Wu is a king, they are ministers, and the righteousness of the monarch and the minister is greater than the brotherly affection.

Besides, Zhu Wu is also benevolent and righteous, and it is better to let himself deal with it than others, King Han still remembered his own merits in his heart and gave himself a decent face.

If someone else comes, I'm afraid I'll have to keep waving dirty water on myself if everything happens.

For Zhu Wu, Li Shanchang has nothing to complain about, but after all, people are affectionate, and the closer they get to Li Cunyi's house, the more uncomfortable Li Shanchang's heart becomes.

"Hey! You can't live if you do your own evil! When the time comes, I will give up this old face and ask for a cup of poisoned wine for this evil obstacle! ”

In the warm sedan car, Li Shanchang closed his eyes in pain. But then he suddenly remembered something, King Han gave him face, and he wanted to repay the favor.

I can't say what the Independent Commission Against Corruption is, and I still have to nominate it to set up, and the first person to act as the minister is none other than myself.

Thinking of Zhu Wu's face again, Li Shanchang couldn't help but smile bitterly.

"The little five of the day have grown up completely! The crown of King Han, the more you bring it, the more convenient it is! ”

The sedan chair stopped gently, and the loyal old servant said on the side, "Master, it's here!" ”

Li Shanchang slowly came out in the wind and snow, looking at the tall mansion in front of him. It is true that the Li family is a rich man, but the Li family has only produced two brothers who can live in this kind of house for hundreds of years.

Rights, that's a good thing.

Rights, and really not a fucking thing.

Li Shanchang's eyes turned, and the Han King's personal guard Qianhu Zhu Mantou nodded slightly, and then stood behind him silently.

"Open the door!" Li Shanchang said bitterly.

～～～

"Big brother! Eldest brother! ”

A large group of people poured into the house, and immediately cried and grabbed the ground. Li Shanchang brought people into the inner house, and Li Cunyi rushed out in a single dress.

"Big brother, the King of Han asked people to seal my mansion in the morning, why is this?" Li Cunyi clapped his hands and said aggrievedly, "What kind of king law did I commit?" ”

"You really don't know?" Li Shanchang sneered.

Li Cunyi was at a loss, "Of course the little brother doesn't know!" ”

Li Shanchang looked at his younger brother, who was good at writing and calligraphy, and the pain and regret in his heart suddenly turned into anger.

"Evil Barrier!" Li Shanchang rounded his arm and slapped him in the face.

With a snap, like a whip. Li Cunyi swirled in the snow, red blood flowing from the corners of his mouth.

"You do good things yourself, you don't know yourself!" Li Shanchang roared angrily, "How did the Li family come out of you are such a waste idiot." I was really blind at the beginning, so I would protect you in front of the King of Han! ”

"What the hell is wrong with me?" Li Cunyi shouted unconvinced, "What did I do? ”

Li Shanchang sneered and stared at Li Cunyi, "Zhaojiazhuang! ”

"Ahh Li Cunyi was stunned for a moment, "Zhaojiazhuang? ”

"Do you think that as the Yin of the Capital Mansion, no one will dare to investigate your thief's nest if you have the control of the security department of the patrol battalion and the fast house?"

Li Shanchang said, entered the house angrily, crossed the threshold for a moment, turned around and scolded, "If you want people not to know, unless you don't do anything, others in your Zhaojiazhuang dare not sweep, and the lord of Han dares to sweep!" Li Cunyi, your affairs have happened! ”

Li Cunyi covered his face and stayed where he was, letting the snowflakes fall. Then, like crazy, he ran into the house.

It doesn't matter how many people and family members there are in the house, they kneel directly in front of Li Shanchang's god.

"Big brother, save me!"

Li Shanchang sat on the stool and smiled bitterly, "How to save it?" ”

"Plea with the lord! Our brothers have been working hard and doing their best! Li Cunyi panicked, "Besides, it's just a gambling house, and the crime is not death!" For your sake, and on my past merits, the lord doesn't count it! ”

As he spoke, Li Cunyi's eyes rolled, "Big brother, I didn't open it, it was opened by my slave in my name." Yes, that's it, he's a house slave anyway, and if he dies, he dies, and he blames everything. ”

"You're smart, but you're not using your cleverness in the right place!" Li Shanchang directly threw out the file, "When the matter comes, you still deny it, dare to do it, do you dare to do it?" Trick yourself to death! See for yourself! ”

Li Cunyi was so hurried that he opened the file, his eyes suddenly widened, and his whole person was petrified. Sluggishness is followed by panic, which immediately turns into fear, and fear instantly turns into fear from the heart.

All kinds of emotions flashed on Li Cunyi's face very quickly, constantly changing.

"Big brother!" Li Cunyi knelt beside Li Shanchang's legs, "Save me!" Save me! I..... Not heartedly! They begged me, but I really couldn't help them, so I helped them get the land. ”

Silence is greater than heart death, Li Shanchang was unmoved.

"You always tell me to have a good relationship with your colleagues, to be modest, and to be exquisite, I also want to have more friends!" Li Cunyi's snot and tears fell together, and he cried, "In the officialdom, if you don't do something, you will offend people!" ”

"You're still quibbling!" Li Shanchang snorted coldly, "It's you who was carried away by power and stunned by those people, don't you understand it yet?" ”

"Big brother, save me!" Li Cunyi cried.

"How can I save you, the charges in the dossier, any one of them is a capital crime!" Li Shanchang shouted, "It's just your own death, why do you want to bring the clansmen, more than 1,000 acres of land in Huaixi, you dare to let the clan take it." Do you know what that is? That's the resettlement of displaced people! ”

"But when someone from the clan begs me, I can't help it!" Li Cunyi cried, "People can't walk your way, you are not close to people as a brother, I can't be close to people anymore!" In the future, what face will we go home to worship our ancestors! ”

Crying with a handful of snot and tears, Li Cunyi cried, "Didn't we leave home with King Han back then, just so that we could return home one day?" We bear the reputation of being an anti-thief, not for the sake of wealth in the future. ”

"I made a mistake, I admit it, can't I change it?" Li Cunyi grabbed Li Shanchang's hand, "Big brother, you go and talk to King Han again." He can't be so ruthless, he said at the beginning, a piece of glory and wealth, why can't he talk now? ”

——————

"If you don't do these things, you won't be prosperous and rich!" Li Shanchang pointed in the direction of the gate, "Our ancestor of the Li family, who has ever been such a big official and lived in such a courtyard?" ”

"But what about money? To put it mildly, the businessmen who do business have better food, clothing, and food than me! Li Cunyi was unconvinced, "People spend a lot of money, and they are merry and happy, what about us?" In front of the Han official, he has to work hard to cultivate! ”

"The human heart is not enough to swallow the elephant!" Li Shanchang sneered a few times, "Now I know why you did such a big thing, you are simply on the wrong path yourself, and no one can save you!" ”

"Big brother, you are the head of Wenchen, you can save me, you can!"

Li Shanchang pushed Li Cunyi away, looked at the people in the house, his brother's family, and also his relatives, and said coldly, "On the orders of King Han, raid the house!" ”

～～～

Zhu Wu was still sitting in the study, quietly looking in one direction, and didn't move for a long time.

Two figures appeared at the door, Xi Yingzhen and Liu Bowen came side by side.

"No formality, just sit down!"

Zhu Wu smiled and asked the old man, "Got it?" ”

Old man Xi nodded, and Liu Bowen sat upright on the side, not squinting.

"Hey!" Zhu Wu sighed, "Angry!" Want to drink some wine, but don't have it at home! ”

"I have it!" The old man pulled out a flask.

Zhu Wu opened the lid and sniffed it, blinking, "Is there any smoke?" ”

Old man Xi smiled, and then took out the silver cigarette case.

Wow, the match was lit, and pungent white smoke came out.

"There's nothing to be angry about!" Old man Xi persuaded, "This kind of thing happened a thousand years ago, and it will definitely happen a thousand years later." We have it, and we have it, and we have foreign devils who claim to be free in democracy. Where there are people, there must be money, and in a rich world, there will be greed! ”

"It's not like what you're supposed to say!" Zhu Wu smiled, "I thought you were going to let me kill them all!" ”

"Don't be angry!"

Liu Bowen suddenly spoke, Zhu Wu was a little surprised, this famous Confucian in the south of the Yangtze River has always been a mascot in the Han Dynasty.

"Corruption cannot be avoided in all dynasties. The so-called insatiable greed, excessive demands, and the natural and human rings are all greater than the selfish desires in people's hearts! ”

Zhu Wu looked at Liu Bowen with a smile, "I know I can't avoid it, but can't there be a good way?" ”

Liu Bowen got up and said, "The minister has a sentence in his heart, and he has always wanted to ask!" ”

Zhu Wu exhaled a cigarette, "You say!" ”

"My lord, what kind of monarch do you want to be?"

That's an interesting question! No one has ever asked this question before.

Zhu Wu thought for a long time before he said, "Of course it's a good monarch!" A monarch who is loved by the people. ”

"The people and subjects love a wise and far-sighted monarch."

Liu Bowen continued, "A good monarch should let his subjects be rich first, and his own frugality last. ”

"Minister, since you are a minister, you must admonish the lord, some things are overkill but not good!"

Zhu Wu looked at him silently, "Go on!" ”
