"Xia Guan has seen Lord Shen. Pen & Fun & Pavilion www.biquge.info" When Shen Yan's figure appeared in the lobby of the Criminal Department, Cui Mingshi looked at Shen Yan with a faint smile on the corner of his mouth, a complicated look flashed in his eyes, and he hurriedly stepped forward to say hello.

"Master Cui is too outside, you and I are both members of the Criminal Department, how can we distinguish between the top and the bottom." Shen Yan saw Cui Mingshi's demeanor, the corners of his mouth rose slightly, a perfect arc appeared, and he laughed loudly.

"Lord Shen is a true gentleman." Cui Mingshi heard Shen Yan speak so modestly, and a smile appeared on the corner of his mouth, but the complicated look in his eyes still betrayed his heart. Indeed, Cui Mingshi is full of jealousy and envy for Shen Yan's rapid rise, a young man who is less than twenty years old has already held so many official positions, especially the position of the leader of the Jinyi School, which really makes Cui Mingshi a little frightened, although the current reputation of the Jinyi School is very stinky, but the real power in his hands already exists. To be honest, Cui Mingshi has been an official for so many years, and his hands and feet will definitely not be clean.

"Why did Lord Shen come to the Criminal Department today, just send someone to say hello." Thinking of the real power in Shen Yan's hands, Cui Mingshi's voice couldn't help but drop a little, with a vague flattery.

The reason why Cui Mingshi is like this to Shen Yan, in addition to the real power in Shen Yan's hands, there is another reason, since Shen Yan became an official of the Criminal Department, because he did not make it difficult for Shen Yan, he has a tendency to lose power in the heart of Lin Xiaotang of the Ministry of Affairs, and Cui Mingshi has to seek new opportunities for his future.

Although Shen Yan's current official position is not high, and he is not necessarily a good target to please, Shen Yan has an irreplaceable position in the emperor's mind, as long as he gets Shen Yan's trust and asks him to help say a few good words in front of the emperor, he may not have the opportunity to go to the next level. Even if he doesn't have such an opportunity, he can have a good relationship with Shen Yan, and even if the traces of his unclean hands and feet fall into Shen Yan's hands, Shen Yan will not embarrass himself too much, and will even turn a blind eye. Therefore, gaining Shen Yan's trust is a good and harmless thing for himself.

"As soon as I returned to Jinling, I was promoted by the emperor and served as a member of the criminal department, but there are too many affairs at hand, so the sad appointment has not come to the point until now, if you don't come again, it is estimated that someone will play right and wrong in front of the emperor, plus the matter at hand today is almost handled, so I came here to order it." A faint smile appeared on the corner of Shen Yan's mouth, glanced at Cui Mingshi, and said softly.

"Lord Shen is now a celebrity in front of the emperor, who dares to play with your rights and wrongs in front of the emperor, maybe in the future, I hope Lord Shen will help me more." A different look appeared in Cui Mingshi's eyes, glanced at Shen Yan, and smiled indifferently.

"Lord Cui laughed, how can I say that I am also an official of the Criminal Department, when I was the head of the department before, I was still serving under Lord Cui, although I am on an equal footing with Lord Cui today, but Lord Cui is a senior under after all, so I hope Lord Cui will bring more information about many things in the future." Although Shen Yan didn't quite understand the meaning of Cui Mingshi's words, he could feel Cui Mingshi's change in his attitude, perhaps, this was not a bad thing for him.

"At this time, the ministry is not here, and it is almost lunchtime, I don't know if Lord Shen appreciates his face, so I will do the east under the bottom, please have a few drinks with Lord Shen?" Cui Mingshi heard Shen Yan's words, a faint look flashed in his eyes, and then his eyes rolled slightly, knowing that Shen Yan must have come to order this time to understand the affairs he was responsible for in the Criminal Department, but Lin Xiaotang didn't come to duty at all today, so Shen Yan's trip was in vain, but for himself, if Shen Yan was willing to appreciate his face and have a light meal with him, it would be a big gain.

"That's embarrassing." Shen Yan heard Cui Mingshi's invitation, a trace of doubt flashed in his eyes, he didn't know why Cui Mingshi became so generous, as the so-called banquet is not a good banquet, Cui Mingshi invited him to dinner, he must have his motives and purposes, he wants to gain a foothold in the criminal department to expand his influence, Cui Mingshi is a key figure.

Shen Yan knows Cui Mingshi's background, the other party is a side child of the Cui family of the Dongshan County Shi clan, because he is good at studying, and he is also good at meeting the source, so he is not loved by the children of the main family, and he is completely relying on his personal ability to get to today's position, it can be said that Cui Mingshi still has a certain ability, if he gets rid of some bad habits on his body, he can be regarded as a talent.

Cui Mingshi is in the Criminal Department, although his official position is not big, he is good at meeting the source left and right, Lin Xiaotang also trusts him well, and knows everything about the Criminal Department, if he can establish a good cooperative relationship with Cui Mingshi, Shen Yan believes that although he will not go sideways in the Criminal Department, he will definitely get twice the result with half the effort.

"Lord Shen is a celebrity in front of the emperor, and he is busy with official business every day, so it is a great honor to have a few drinks with Lord Shen." Cui Mingshi saw that Shen Yan was a little moved, a faint smile appeared on the corner of his mouth, and he hurriedly said.

"Since Lord Cui is so gracious, if you refuse again, it will be too bad to give Lord Cui face." Shen Yan saw Cui Mingshi's demeanor and wanted to understand Cui Mingshi's motives, a smile appeared on the corner of Shen Yan's mouth, and he replied loudly.

"Here's a toast to Lord Shen." Cui Mingshi took Shen Yan out of the lobby of the Criminal Department, and came to a relatively remote, but very elegant tavern, Cui Mingshi ordered a few dishes, when Xiao Er brought the wine to the table and poured a bowl of wine for himself and Shen Yan, Cui Mingshi short-term wine bowl, gestured to Shen Yan, and said loudly.

"Master Cui, please." Although Shen Yan had some doubts in his heart, his demeanor had always been very natural, and he hurriedly picked up the wine bowl and touched Cui Mingshi's wine bowl lightly in the air.

"I also have a trace of fate with Lord Shen, when I first saw Lord Shen, I had a natural affection for Lord Shen, but unfortunately, due to some instructions from the Ministry of Justice, plus some envy of Lord Shen in the next, I had to jump out and choose a rather difficult case to be handed over to Lord Shen for trial, fortunately, Lord Shen is very familiar with the name of the crime, easily found the key point of the case, and successfully tried the case, overturned the case for the bitter master, and also saved the reputation of my criminal department, Lord Shen also won the reputation of Shen Qingtian." Cui Mingshi took a big sip of wine, and glanced at Shen Yan with an apologetic look in his eyes.

"I hope that Lord Shen will not take this matter to heart, and I also ask Lord Shen to forgive me for being involuntary in the beginning." Cui Mingshi's eyes looked at Shen Yan with a look of expectation.
