When Lan Ziyi entered the cabinet, the room was already full, just as Lan Ziyi expected, Father-in-law Yu and Father-in-law Long were already sitting in the room early, and Zhang Mingyue led a group of civil officials to sit opposite the two fathers-in-law.

The personnel in the cabinet this time are different from the last time Lan Ziyi came, Shen Zhong is gone, but there are a few more other officials, Lan Ziyi saw that one of them was Chen Zhilian, who besieged him in the Ministry of Officials last time, and the person who sat in front of Chen Zhilian Lan Ziyi has also seen it, it is Zhao Liang, the right attendant who is now the last head of the Ministry of War.

As soon as Lan Ziyi entered the house, he could feel the oppressive atmosphere in the house, and the faces of the people led by Zhang Mingyue and Du Ji were almost as bitter as eating Coptis chinensis, and they didn't look like human shapes. Although the expression on Grandpa Long's face was also solemn, he was more of a reflection than a pressure. Only the father-in-law Yu was alone, sitting in the house drinking tea and eating melons, his face was light, and he was so uncomfortable.

Lan Ziyi thought to himself, Father-in-law Yu didn't know how to be obscure, wouldn't others be suspicious of his appearance?

After Lan Ziyi came to the house and stood still, he bowed his hand to the adults, the two fathers-in-law nodded to Lan Ziyi, and Zhang Mingyue and several other adults absentmindedly gave Lan Ziyi a perfunctory look.

After Lan Ziyi sat down, Zhang Mingyue asked casually:

"Obviously, the person I sent to Weihou's mansion said that Weihou was not at home, why did Weihou come so quickly. I was going not to call Wei Hou anymore. ”

Lan Ziyi smiled:

"There is an invitation in the middle hall, there must be something important, Ziyi has to fly back even if he is in the sky, how can there be any reason not to come?"

At the same time as Lan Ziyi spoke, someone came to Zhang Mingyue's ear and whispered, Lan Ziyi could conclude from the eyes of the person who spoke from time to time that he must have said that Lan Ziyi went to Li Chenghai's house.

Sure enough, after the man finished speaking, Zhang Mingyue squeezed out a smile from his tired face and said:

"Wei Hou turned out to be at Li Zhongtang's house, no wonder the news is so well-informed."

Hearing that Lan Ziyi was in Li Chenghai's house, Father-in-law Yu and Father-in-law Long all moved their eyes to Lan Ziyi, and Lan Ziyi smiled quietly:

"When Ziyi was visiting the capital recently, he heard that Li Zhongtang was sick at home, so he carried some gifts to visit today, but he didn't expect to be bumped into by Zhang Shoufu."

Although Lan Ziyi was smiling on his face, he was angrily scolding Li Chenghai in his heart for leading the messengers in the palace to the place where the father and son of the enemy family rested, and after thinking about it a little deeper, Lan Ziyi felt that the servants of the Li Mansion did not seem to be a mistake, but it seemed to be intentional, for Li Chenghai, letting Zhang Mingyue know that Lan Ziyi had a relationship with him could increase his bargaining chips.

When Zhang Mingyue heard this, he said:

"That's really a coincidence, but when I had something to invite Wei Hou to come over and listen, Wei Hou appeared in the Li Mansion."

Lan Ziyi replied without concessions:

"It's really a coincidence, but when I visited Li Zhongtang, Zhang Shoufu sent someone to pass me into the palace."

Zhang Mingyue didn't continue to talk when he heard this, he lowered his head and raised his hand to pinch the bridge of his nose, and then Zhao Liang, the right attendant of the military department sitting at the other end, said:

"Does Wei Hou know that he was announced by the cabinet today for the sake of peace?"

Of course, Lan Ziyi knew why he was called, so he shook his head and replied:

"There must be something important to announce my entry into the cabinet, so Lord Zhao should not tease Ziyi, and tell me what happened quickly."

Hearing this, Zhao Liang turned his eyes to look at Zhang Mingyue, but Zhang Mingyue reacted to raising his head, while Du Yi said at this time:

"Wei Hou didn't hear any news from your family?"

When Grandpa Yu heard this, he put down his teacup and said:

"Master Du, you Jing Zhaoyin is not busy in his yamen all day long, and he always runs to the cabinet to join in the fun, so I won't say anything about you. But today you called us all here, and didn't tell us anything, and now you start to question Wei Hou again.

I've been in Taichengwei for a long time, and I haven't done less to force confessions and ask questions, what do you and Lord Zhao want to do against Wei Hou one after the other? “

Lan Ziyi saw that Father-in-law Yu came out to stand on the platform for him, his heart was very warm, and his confidence was a lot stronger, so after Father-in-law Yu finished speaking, Lan Ziyi made a tone and said:

"Master Du, you see that I am not upset and say it directly, what is the point of always coming to me to trouble? A few days ago, Brother Ling came to my door to trouble me for no reason, and I haven't talked to you yet, Master Du. ”

Hearing this, Du Yi glared at Lan Ziyi and said:

"Your eldest brother smashed the shop in the Qinglou, and my brother went to ask what was wrong with the two county catchers?"

Lan Ziyi said:

"Obviously, the Qinglou is unreasonable, he took the money and didn't let people go, sat on the ground and asked for a price, and threw my eldest brother out of the building, you didn't go to the trouble of the Qinglou but came to my house to raise people? Does that make sense? ”

At this time, Long Gong said openly:

"Enough! This is the Cabinet, and so many people are here today to discuss business, not to scold the streets! You guys are in front of me and Brother Yu, the two eunuchs, the Qinglou here, the Qinglou, you have an opinion on the eunuchs in the palace, right? ”

When Gonggong Long said this, his tone was witty, and there was a smile on his face, he was not scolding Lan and Du, but he was speaking to ease the atmosphere. With Father-in-law Long intervening, the atmosphere in the house suddenly eased, and Lan Ziyi and Du Yi both returned to their positions, no longer continuing to entangle the matter of Qinglou.

Zhang Mingyue knew that he couldn't continue to be silent, so he opened his mouth and said:

"Taichengwei and Post Station have always been two parallel systems, and in terms of the speed of message transmission, Grandpa Yu will only know earlier than me, not later than me. But Father-in-law Yu is waiting for me to say, so I'll say it's okay. A few days ago, we sent to inspect the border situation outside the Saiwai and Qincha was plundered by horse thieves outside the Saiwai, and the deputy of the imperial horse supervisor who took the lead was beheaded, and more than a dozen Taicheng guards who were guards were cut off from their ears, and the perpetrators said that they were loyal to Qiu Doufa Khan. ”

After saying this, Zhang Mingyue rubbed his temples and sighed again, then picked up the teacup and took a sip.

Lan Ziyi listened to this, his eyes kept rolling in his sockets, and he couldn't show his flaws here, so he pretended to be solemn, sat down on the chair and bowed his head silently, as if he wanted to escape from this topic.

After Zhang Mingyue finished speaking, Zhao Liang of the Ministry of War took over and said:

"The acting duke has already transferred troops to martial law at Luoyan Pass, and the acting duke also wrote on the urgent document sent back to the capital that he intends to send someone to the royal court to inform Ai Kugai of the matter, and ask the court to send troops to track down the murderer on the grassland, and ask the court for permission."

Zhang Mingyue was a little angry when he heard this, and he said:

"Dai Gong lives in a feudal town, and the north of Taizheng is guarded by him, so this little thing actually needs to be approved by the imperial court? He's never seen him so rigid in a war before? Do you need to ask about this kind of thing? ”

Lan Ziyi laughed secretly in his heart when he heard this, he said in his heart that it was his own Anda Timoxin Ge who did it, can this matter be investigated? His dad was clearly kicking the ball.

Du Ji turned his head and asked Lan Ziyi after Zhang Mingyue said:

"Wei Hou, hasn't the grassland in the north been leveled by Ling Zun? Qiu Doufa is also locked up in the prison, why did people loyal to Qiu Doufa suddenly appear again? ”

Lan Ziyi smashed his tongue when he heard this, and pretended to look at his perfunctory words:

"Rong Di, birds and beasts, no fixed place, come and go like the wind, these guys are herdsmen when the water and grass are abundant, and when they have nothing to do, they go out in groups to fight the autumn wind and plunder, this kind of thing is too common in the grassland, I also met a group of horse thieves when I went to the royal court to meet my father at the beginning of the year, this thing is nothing incredible."

Du Ji said:

"A horse thief is a horse thief, and now it is Qiu Doufa's remnants who have robbed us, which is a very serious matter."

Zhang Mingyue raised his head at this time and said:

"Didn't the acting duke ask the opinion of the imperial court? My opinion is accurate, and today the Cabinet intends to send the Cabinet Seal to the Celebrant on behalf of the Minister. Not only should Ai Kugai's people investigate, but Luoyan Pass should also send people to investigate, and the Beijing Military Department and the Imperial Horse Supervisor should send a Qin messenger to Saibei to supervise this matter! The one who was killed was my Taisho's Qincha, the deputy of the celebrant supervisor, if this matter is not investigated, let the murderer get away with it, where will my Taisho's face go? “

Then Zhang Mingyue sighed and continued:

"First of all, the demon thieves were in trouble along the river, and then there were natural disasters, great floods in the south, and great drought in the north. The murder of Qin Cha must be investigated, and the murderer must be caught within the specified time and taken back to the capital Lingchi! It is necessary to kill chickens and monkeys with the momentum of lions fighting rabbits, so that Rong Di outside the plug will die of that covetous heart, otherwise I will never have peace in the northern part of Dazheng! ”

Zhang Mingyue said very excitedly, and every time he was emotional, he tapped the table with his finger joints, and the sound of the bang shook the cabinet speechlessly.

However, not everyone didn't speak, and Father-in-law Yu held the tea bowl at this time and said leisurely:

"I think it's okay, there's nothing to check about it."
