Kaifeng Province.

Because of Zhu Shaoxuan, the officials of the Henan Political Envoy Department and the Yamen once again experienced a major investigation.

During this time, Xiao Yun took Jinyiwei to investigate everywhere, and with the assistance of Li Xiuwen's Eagle Eye organization, he soon found out many of Zhu Shaoyang's henchmen. These people are all fish that did not jump out of the net during the Kaifeng rebellion before.

Lu Gaojie, who was originally a left-hand senator in politics, has long been arrested, and this time there are three people from the left senator and the right senator, one each with experience and capital, and there are still many small officials who are not in the stream, as well as officials from other counties under their jurisdiction.

Shen Yongnian, the political envoy of Henan, was frightened, he was old and rarely asked about these things. Now that there is serious corruption under his rule, even if it has nothing to do with him, I am afraid that he will be implicated. He was busy playing the court and submitted his resignation to the saint. In the compromise, he said that he was old and faint, which caused so many unjudicial officials to appear under his jurisdiction.

After Xiao Yun finished this matter, he was ready to return to Beijing. Before leaving, he went to Li's house and bid farewell to Li Hongshen.

In the Li family hall.

Li Hongshen opened his mouth to flatter: "Lord Xiao's purging of the rule of officials this time is a move to benefit all the people, and the people all applaud and praise the adults. ”

"You're getting too old."

Xiao Yun said modestly. Because of Li Xiuwen's relationship, he didn't put on any stand with Li Hongshen, and treated him completely as an elder.

Li Hongshen smiled and said, "Xiuwen is young and vigorous, and he doesn't know the sinister nature of the world. This time he entered Beijing as an official and served the imperial court, and asked Lord Xiao to take care of him in the future. ”

Xiao Yun had already regarded Li Xiuwen as a friend, so he naturally readily agreed. He was not good at words, and he didn't sit long before leaving. turned around and just walked out of the door, but Li Mingshan, who was running forward in a hurry, bumped into him.

Li Mingshan hit his head on the chest and fell backwards. Xiao Yun just stretched out his hand to grab her, but then thought that there was a difference between men and women, so his hand stopped in mid-air, allowing Li Mingshan to fall backwards and sit on the ground.

If Li Xiuwen saw this scene, he would definitely shake his head and sigh: "You can't marry a daughter-in-law like this." ”

"Ouch!"

Li Mingshan sat on the ground and rubbed her forehead, raising her eyes to see which bastard had hit her. After seeing Xiao Yun in front of him, he was stunned, got up from the ground with a smile, and said, "It's Lord Xiao, I'm looking for you for something." ”

Xiao Yun couldn't help laughing when he saw her first angry face, and then a cute look full of smiles, and asked, "What's the matter with Miss Li?" ”

Li Mingshan handed him a letter in his hand and said, "Can you help me give this letter to my eldest brother?" ”

It turned out to be just a letter delivery, Xiao Yun smiled: "It's a gesture." ”

Li Mingshan looked at him suspiciously and asked, "You won't peek, will you?" ”

Xiao Yun didn't expect him to ask this question, and after being stunned, he smiled and said, "Of course not." ”

"That's good!" Li Mingshan seemed to breathe a sigh of relief.

"Mingshan, you're messing around again, let me in!" Li Hongshen's voice came from the house.

"Thank you, Lord Xiao."

Li Mingshan stuck out her tongue when she heard this, and said to Xiao Yun. Then he ran into the house.

Xiao Yunwan smiled and walked away.

Beijing, North Town Fusi Yamen.

Li Xiuwen bowed his head lightly to Fang Ning, and then crossed the threshold and walked into the room.

A man in civilian clothes sat in front of the bookcase, and when he saw him enter, his eyes were on him.

Li Xiuwen knew that he was Luo Yangxing, looking at him about thirty years old, kind-hearted, and polite, not like a military attache in a high position, but more like a scholar.

didn't have time to think about it, Li Xiuwen stepped forward, knelt down on one knee and gave a military salute and said, "Your Excellency Li Xiuwen, see Lord Admiral!" ”

"Get up."

Luo Yangxing nodded, and only after he got up did he smile: "Sit down and talk." ”

Li Xiuwen saw that he was polite to him, so he sat down as he said. At this time, Fang Ning at the door said goodbye and gently closed the door for them.

"Sure enough, it's a talent!"

Luo Yangxing praised Li Xiuwen out loud and said: "I heard Xiao Yun say that you are unparalleled in wisdom earlier, but I don't believe it yet, but looking at today's events, I know that what he said is true." ”

"Your Excellency is overrated. Lord Xiao is too elevated to the lower officials, and the lower officials are ashamed to be ashamed! ”

Li Xiuwen said modestly, but he was a little cautious in his heart. The Luo Yang in front of him seems to have completely guessed his thoughts. These people who have been in high positions for a long time are really few who can be easily fooled.

When he shot today, Li Xiuwen took the right measure, just hit a few people, and he also breathed a sigh of relief. With his identity as a hundred households in brocade clothes, he only beat a few evil slaves, and even if the two sons and brothers have a deep background, they can't do anything with him.

At first, when he was detained by the people of the Five Cities Terracotta Division, Li Xiuwen was still a little uncertain. But after thinking about it, in this capital, the intelligence agency of Yijin Yiwei should be able to learn the news soon, and he is not worried that he will be framed. It's just that the speed at which this brocade guard appeared was even faster than he imagined.

Luo Yangxing smiled and didn't talk about the topic again. He had only just found out about it. Before that, he had already sent Fang Ning to bring Li Xiuwen over to see him. He asked instead: "You brought your family into Beijing this time, I'm afraid that the money of the hundred households in Jinyi and Wei is not enough for your daily expenses, right?" ”

"Well, it's a humble honor to serve the imperial court!"

Li Xiuwen's forehead was sweating, this Admiral had investigated in detail enough, and even his own family affairs were clear. However, what he said was not wrong at all, and there were really not many Ming Dynasty officials. If you want to live a decent life, there are few people who don't make extra money. Li Xiuwen also had some understanding of Jinyiwei's fortune in his previous life, and if he wanted to come to a hundred households, it would be only thirty or forty taels, which was indeed not enough for his daily expenses.

"But ......"

Luo Yangxing glanced at him meaningfully, and then said: "With your Li family's financial resources, there is indeed no shortage of this money. ”

“......”

Li Xiuwen didn't know how to respond when he heard this, but he was full of slander in his heart. Isn't this Admiral too stingy and wants to deduct his meager salary? No matter how small a mosquito is, it's meat, and a few dozen taels isn't money? I can buy several maids!

Seeing that he didn't answer, Luo Yangxing said pointedly: "As far as I know, the number of people in the Kaifeng Li family's nursing home is probably more than 100 people, right?" ”

Li Xiuwen only felt a chill down his spine, but he couldn't help but answer, so he had to bite the bullet and say: "The lower official is stupid, I don't know what the adults mean?" ”

Luo Yangxing saw him pretending to be stupid, and said with a smile: "You really don't know? ”

Li Xiuwen knelt down with a "poof": "My lord's forgiveness!" Xiaguan was persecuted by the prince before, and he had to recruit people as a last resort to protect himself, and he would never dare to do anything unfavorable to the court. ”

Luo Yangxing stared at him for a long time before he smiled and said, "Get up." The official just asked casually, and didn't mean anything else, looking at what made you nervous. ”

"Thank you, sir!"

Li Xiuwen secretly breathed a sigh of relief in his heart, and only after opening his mouth to thank him did he get up from the ground. He asked cautiously: "I don't know if the lord is asking the lower officials to come, but there is something important to tell the lower officials to do?" ”

Luo Yangxing pondered for a long time before he said, "Tomorrow you come to my house." ”
