After playing a few more rounds of mahjong, it was getting late, and when everyone left, Zhao Ji left Wu Zhi alone.

"Your Majesty has orders"

Wu Zhi guessed that Zhao Ji might have come back to his senses and felt that his idea just now was unreliable, so he left what he wanted to ask clearly.

"Nothing else"

Zhao Ji put up his luan drive, walked side by side with Wu Zhi outside the imperial garden, and continued: "I heard that Aiqing handled the case and arrested Master Lin's first apprentice, I know that you are impartial law enforcement, but Master Lin's personality is the most clear, and his first apprentice I have also seen, not like a person who can be a traitor, Aiqing will see if he can let the person go first, with Master Lin to show you, people will not run." ”

Hearing that Zhao Ji deliberately left himself behind for this matter, Wu Zhi couldn't help but sigh secretly in his heart.

This Lin Lingsu is really powerful, and he found the emperor so quickly, it seems that he has to let him go.

"Your Majesty, rest assured, Lin Zhangjiao's apprentice will naturally not be a traitor, and the minister invited him to Kaifeng Mansion to inquire, just to restore his innocence, and to avoid damage to Lin Zhangjiao's reputation." Wu Zhi smiled, "The minister will soon release the first disciple of the Lin Palm Sect." ”

"Then Master Dailin, thank you." Zhao Ji said with a smile.

"Your Majesty is serious."

Although Wu Zhi's performance in front of Zhao Ji was light and light, but after leaving the palace, Wu Zhi's heart suddenly welled up with a sense of frustration, just a Taoist priest, Wu Zhi was only locked up for a few days and had to be released, it seems that it is really not so easy to mix, all kinds of intricate interpersonal relationships, all kinds of pressure, it is really a headache.

It's ridiculous that he promised Zhou Shou to eradicate the two scourges of Zhu Mian and Li Yan for the imperial court within three years, but now that I think about it, it's really arrogant, Zhu Mian and Li Yan's forces are intertwined, and they are much stronger than Lin Lingsu, but Wu Zhi is a little helpless in the face of a Lin Lingsu.

Thinking about it again, in the future, the mother-in-law and the queen mother will give Ling'er an explanation within three years, and Wu Zhi feels that the future is bleak.

Fortunately, this negative emotion didn't last long, after returning home, Wu Zhi had already figured it out, no matter how heavy the burden on his body was, he had to go step by step, no matter how far the goal was, there might still be a chance to fight, but if he was blindly negative, he would never have a chance.

After Wu Zhi arrived home, he heard from the housekeeper that Brother Murong was here and was waiting in the living room, so Wu Zhi immediately went to see him.

"Dude"

"Oops, Wu Zhi, you're finally back."

As soon as he saw Wu Zhi, Murong Yanda immediately stood up, his expression a little anxious.

Wu Zhi asked, "What's the matter, brother, what's making you rush like this?"

Murong Yanda and Wu Zhi sat down together, approached Wu Zhi and said, "Brother, you haven't released Lin Lingsu's apprentice surnamed Xie yet."

Hearing this, Wu Zhi smiled bitterly: "It turns out that my brother is also here to intercede for this person, so Lin Lingsu will also go to find you."

Lin Lingsu was really willing to work hard for his apprentice

"Yes, Lin Lingsu found me early this morning." Murong Yanda nodded, and said with a somewhat solemn expression: "But even if he doesn't look for me, I will come to persuade you to release him as soon as possible."

"Why"

"Because of Zhu Mian" Murong Yanda said with a calm face: "You don't have any power in the court, you don't know yet, Zhu Mian has begun to organize the imperial history to list the charges and plan to join you, although the Kaifeng Mansion has been rectified recently, but there has been no progress in the Sun family's extermination case, they just plan to use this as a reason to join you in a few days." If you offend Lin Lingsu now, he will definitely follow suit and help Zhu Mian at that time, but I am afraid that you will be in trouble at that time. ”

"It's Zhu Mian again"

Wu Zhi frowned on his forehead, Zhu Mian is now a good learner, and he repeatedly picks Wu Zhi's weakness and makes it a little difficult for Wu Zhi to parry.

Looking for the official to complain and say bad things is the most common and effective means of political struggle in ancient times, the imperial history official is responsible for supervising the hundred officials of the imperial court, and will not be convicted for words, is the highest people's prosecutor in ancient times, even if the prime minister is grabbed by the imperial history, if it is not dealt with and explained in a timely and proper manner, it will also be unsafe, and even the emperor is difficult to control.

"So, brother, you just let that Taoist priest go, even if he is suspicious, he won't be able to run away if you hand it over to Lin Lingsu." Murong Yanda continued to persuade, "Brother, you are handling a major case in the imperial court for the first time, you must find clues as soon as possible, but it is nothing for Zhu Mian and his faction to participate in you, but if it drags on for too long and there are no clues, the Manchu Dynasty Imperial History will attack together, I am afraid that Your Majesty will also be forced to punish you under pressure." ”

"Okay brother, I didn't plan to lock up that Taoist priest for long, I'll release him tomorrow." Wu Zhi nodded, thought about it for a while, and said with a wry smile: "Don't hide it from my brother, the case of the Sun family is really very tricky, I have investigated for so long and I have not found any clues, brother, you have been an official for many years, I don't know if you have any good advice for me"

Wu Zhi also had no choice but to ask Brother Murong for advice, after all, he had been a magistrate for so many years, and he should have experience in criminal investigation.

"Hey, brother, you're helpless, and there's no way for my brother." Murong Yanda shook his head, "Brother can only tell you, since you are next to the case, you must not give up, be more patient and wait slowly, your subordinates are all capable people, you have to believe them, you will definitely find clues." ”

"I can only wait patiently"

Wu Zhi smiled bitterly, thinking about it, if Brother Murong could help, he would have helped him earlier.

After Murong Yanda left, Shi Qian sent Wu Zhi a flying book from Qingzhou, which was Zhu Wu's reply to Wu Zhi, which was a note, and there was only one line on the note: The house map is indeed the desperate house that burned the gate of heaven, causing fire, and the main household was destroyed. This is a reply to the picture of the Sun family's mansion that Wu Zhi sent at the beginning, since Zhu Wu also made such a judgment, then it can basically be determined that Daoist Xie is innocent, and if he is released tomorrow, Wu Zhi will not have any pimples in his heart.

In the living room of Zhu Mansion in the south of Kaifeng City.

Zhu Mian was wearing a water-colored silk robe, holding a teacup and sitting on the main seat, on both sides were some officials wearing crimson official uniforms, and they looked at Zhu Mian with a proud face.

"What do you mean, I won't join Na Wuzhi for the time being," an official asked.

They were all officials of the Governor's House and the Imperial Historical Tower.

"Don't write an excerpt about him first, now that he has been investigating the case for a long time, we are so anxious to participate in him and have no strength, wait a while, if he can't find out the progress, then we will be able to participate in him again, and we will definitely be able to knock him down with one blow" Zhu Mian smiled gloomily.

"Why is your lord so sure that Wu Zhi is deeply loved by His Majesty, even if we join him after a while, at most we will kick him away from Kaifeng Mansion, and if you want to take him down, I'm afraid it's a little difficult" An official asked puzzled.

Zhu Mian smiled proudly and said, "You still don't know that today Wu Zhi boasted about Haikou in front of His Majesty, saying that a sentence can make Xixia retreat." The key is that His Majesty still listens to him, and tomorrow the official will be issued from the center, and when the will is transmitted to the northwest border, it will definitely be useless to Western Xia, and when the news reaches back to the imperial court, His Majesty and the hundred officials will definitely be angry with Wu Zhi, and we will definitely be able to kick Wu Zhi out of Bianjing.

"There is such a thing"

"That Wu Zhi is not in the water in his brain, how can he boast in front of His Majesty to say such nonsense"

"It's naïve"

"It's still Lord Zhu's foresight, and the light of Wuzhi Firefly dares to compete with Lord Zhu's Haoyue, which is really beyond my strength."

The officials began to belittle Wu Zhi to their heart's content, sycophant Zhu Mian, and Zhu Mian laughed again and again.

After the vassals left, Zhu, who was full of flattery, came to Zhu Mian again.

"Cousin, my brother has something to ask my cousin to give me an idea." Zhu said directly.

"What won't be about it, it's still about the county lord of Qiancheng, the county lord is already tired of you, you better don't waste time" Zhu Mian was a little hateful.

"It's not about the county lord, I know that the county lord has no hope on the county lord's side" Zhu didn't have the slightest loss on his face, but with a little evil smile, he continued: "I want to talk to my cousin about Her Royal Highness the Seventh Princess"

"Seven Princesses"

"Not bad" Zhu Xie smiled: "Right now, the Liao Kingdom is dying, and I can no longer compete with my Great Song Dynasty, and my Great Song Princess finally doesn't need cheap foreign men, so I wonder if my cousin can help me, if I become the concubine of the Seventh Princess, wouldn't it be more beneficial for our Zhu family than to become a county horse."

Zhu Mian pondered for a moment, and suddenly laughed: "Haha, your kid is very good at drilling the camp, and the seventh princess is His Majesty's most doting princess, and no one can compare with her in the royal family in terms of appearance."

"That's not it, the seventh princess is tall and graceful, her skin is like clotted fat, the country is fragrant, her eyes are as bright as autumn water, and she is more beautiful than the most beautiful woman" Zhu drooled and said unscrupulously.

Zhu Mian looked at Zhu's salivating appearance, sneered, and continued: "The key is that the seven princesses and princes were all born to the former queen, and they are brothers and sisters of the same mother, after the prince ascends the throne in the future, the seven princesses will definitely be more beautiful, if you can marry her, I am afraid that your status will surpass me in the future."

"How dare this younger brother compare with his cousin"

Zhu Mian immediately waved his hand to signal Zhu not to speak, and he continued: "They are all children of the Zhu family, and everyone is rich and noble. I will definitely do my best to help you, but it is not so easy to marry a princess, I will first find an opportunity for you to get close to the seventh princess in the name of justice, and cultivate a relationship with the seventh princess, remember that this time you must not be like stalking the county lord, be careful, although the seventh princess is a little willful, but kind-hearted, she asks you to leave you must leave immediately, even if she beats you and scolds you and makes you angry, you have to be honest. ”

After speaking, Zhu Mian smiled gloomily: "If the seventh princess starts beating you and scolding you, then she will slowly have a good impression of you, you have to pretend to be stupid, so that she wants to bully you." ”

"Cousin, your trick is really clever" Zhu thought about it and said happily, but he suddenly thought of something, and said uneasily: "It's just that Her Royal Highness the Seventh Princess seems to have a lot to do with that Wu Zhi, I don't know"

Zhu Mian said disdainfully: "Don't worry, I have inquired before, the seventh princess just has a good relationship with several ladies of Wu Zhi, and by the way, she also has some friendship with Wu Zhi, that Wu Zhi has already married three, no matter how good the relationship with the seventh princess is, there is nothing to worry about, women are all with their husbands, when you marry the seventh princess, the seventh princess is not at your mercy." ”

"Hey," Zhu Yi laughed.

"Hmph, don't be happy too early, you've been idle all day, and now you don't even have a decent reputation" Zhu Mian glanced at Zhu, "If you want to marry a princess, you must at least be a scholar, you have to start from scratch now, and when the autumn season begins this year, you must participate, and then in the spring of next year, let's go and beg Liang Shicheng's father-in-law, let him reward you with a champion Langdang, and when you become a champion, I will help you ask Your Majesty to marry you and the Seventh Princess." ”

"I've been helping my father manage our Zhu family's shop, and I haven't thought about making any name for me, but cousin, since you said so, then I must be obedient, anyway, the township test is just going through the motions" Zhu Wuran smiled, "By the way, I'm close to the princess here, cousin, you have to keep saying good things for me in front of Your Majesty and the queen."

"I still have you to teach me this"

Zhu Mian waved his hand: "Remember my words, slowly please the Seventh Princess, don't be stubborn, go back" After speaking, he sent Zhu away.

After Zhu left, Zhu Mian squinted his eyes in disgust, although he had no feelings for the Seventh Princess, but the Seventh Princess was a fragrant sweetheart, if he hadn't married a few wives a few years ago, the Seventh Princess would not have given Zhu anything.

But after thinking about it again, even if Zhu marries the Seventh Princess, then their Zhu family will go to the next level, but I am afraid that even Cai Jingtong Guan will have to give him Zhu Mian three points at that time

Hey

Zhu dared to fight Wu Zhi's idea of a woman, and everyone wanted him to die The book review area told me
