In the council hall, Li Er was furious, and was persuaded by Bai Fan, Wei Zheng and other ministers, since the first evil has been ambushed, the rest are innocent, even if the Boling Cui clan is implicated, it is only a punishment that should not be punished.

"The Bolingcui clan steals state secrets and sells them to other countries for heavy profits, this move must not be tolerated, and even if they are not killed, they must confiscate their family property.

He also issued a decree to the whole country that anyone who steals state secrets, collaborates with the enemy and betrays the country, and his clansmen are guilty of the same crime, regardless of men, women, and children, all of them will be killed without mercy. Li Er slapped the table and ordered loudly.

This is really angry, they all say that the troubled times should be used to re-enact, and this re-canonization of the clan is really completely contrary to the current benevolent government in this prosperous era of the Tang Dynasty.

The eldest grandson Wuji sighed in his heart, the Tang Law that he had just painstakingly compiled was discussed, and he tried his best to spare the prison, and if His Majesty's holy decree continues, I am afraid that the whole country will be silent.

However, this imperial decree is no longer opposed, stealing state secrets and selling them to other countries, this is a clear crime of treason, and it is undisputed that traitors should be punished.

After dealing with the affairs of the Boling Cui family, Bai Fan stepped down and returned to Zhongnan Academy, because of the last incident, Bai Fan directly moved his family into Zhongnan Academy, which is the dean's privilege, Zhongnan Academy is still Bai Fan's private academy in the final analysis, and the other teachers are all villas, only Bai Fan is a two-entry courtyard.

Qin Shubao was the first to come to Bai Fan, in the days when Bai Fan was out, Qin Shubao was in the academy but the privilege of the executive dean, in charge of civil affairs and military affairs, and also to entertain various relationships outside the academy, but let this Tang God of War pinch a sweat, this is more tiring than the battlefield rush, back then it was easy to bleed and fight several battles in the first battle, and now the whole academy seems to be so pressed that he can't stand up.

"Hey, brother Xian, you can be counted as coming back, if you don't come back to preside over the overall situation, my old bones are estimated to be tossed and can't bear it, let me fight and compete, and it's too reluctant to manage the academy." Qin Shubao poured bitter water.

Bai Fan smiled and poured Qin Qiong a good cup of tea, and the two of them sat down on the stone table in this small courtyard as usual, ready to drink tea and chat.

"Isn't there still the vice president of the academy, Mr. Li Gang? Why didn't my brother ask him to share a share of the burden? ”

"This, for my brother, a seven-foot man, how embarrassed to work for Li Lao and other great sages, you must know that Li Lao is over eighty years old this year, and he is not a person who practices martial arts, if it were not for the superior living conditions of the academy, I am afraid that his body can no longer take disciples now.

Now the disciples go directly to his villa to listen to the lectures, and it is a little reluctant to let him go to the classroom to attend classes. After Qin Qiong drank a cup of tea, she sighed, as if she was feeling sorry for Li Gang.

Bai Fan was also silent after hearing this, yes, after all, he couldn't bear the years, but Li Gang was still teaching and educating people in his old age, although he was in good spirits, but his body was not as good as day by day.

"Forget it, let's not talk about this for now, I'll go see Mr. Li later, there is an old man in the family if there is a treasure, you can't let this old man have an accident, eighty is nothing, I still want him to live to be a hundred years old."

Let's talk about the situation of the academy in the past few months, but what is abnormal? ”

Qin Shubao also smiled heartily and swept away the previous haze, "If there is an old man in the family who has a treasure, I am afraid that there are no less than ten old people over seventy years old in this academy, aren't Ziyang Zhenren and Yan Zhitui old men a hundred-year-old man?" ”

"They don't count, they are all martial arts practitioners, and Taoist health preservation techniques can turn decay into magic, but I have confidence in them."

"Let's get down to business, His Majesty came to me that day to find out the secret of the leakage of gunpowder in the academy, and in the end the matter was closed because there was no way to investigate." Qin Shubao recounted.

Bai Fan interrupted him and said, "Slow, isn't it, there's no way to check?" How can there be no way to find out? Is Your Majesty so easy to fool?

I remember what you said, wait for me. ”

Saying that, Bai Fan went out to find a disciple, "Go, let Di Renjie come to me to report." ”

"Tell me about this kid, I have lost a lot of face in front of Your Majesty, I just recommended to Your Majesty that the Academy has a master of case solving, guess what Your Majesty said?

Your Majesty said, what is the master of solving crimes? It's just a hairy boy who talks on paper in name only, do you think I'm embarrassed or not? I have never made a fool of myself in front of His Majesty in terms of disciples, what's the matter with this kid? ”

Before Bai Fan finished speaking, he saw that Qin Shubao had already finished laughing, and he hadn't seen Bai Fan deflated for a long time.

"Brother Xian, speaking of which, you really can't blame Renjie's kid, there is another secret in this matter." Qin Qiong couldn't help but smile and explained.

At this moment, a young voice came from outside the door: "Master, disciple Di Renjie asks to see Master." ”

"Stinky boy, come in for the teacher, you did a good thing!" Bai Fan reprimanded.

Di Renjie was confused, he hadn't seen his master for a few months, he didn't seem to have provoked him, I didn't take the four little junior brothers badly, and I didn't bully the little junior sister of the Bai family like a little baby.

Within two seconds of entering the door, Di Renjie recalled all his recent behaviors, and only after making sure that he had done nothing bad did he dare to straighten his waist and walk in.

"Disciple Di Renjie visited Master and Mr. Qin, I don't know what made Master angry, and the disciple was terrified!" Di Renjie saluted respectfully.

"Hehe, Renjie, don't be so restrained, your master is joking." Qin Shubao maintained that by dealing with His Majesty that day, Qin Shubao had an excellent impression of this genius disciple.

Bai Fan waved his hand and said: "Your Majesty came to the academy to investigate who leaked the secret, why did you deliberately shake away Your Majesty, do you need you to hide your clumsiness to protect your life?" How old are you? You haven't graduated yet, do you think Master can't protect you? ”

"The disciple doesn't dare." Di Renjie hurriedly knelt down and pleaded guilty.

Qin Shubao stepped forward and pulled Di Renjie up, and persuaded Bai Fan: "Okay, Jian Zhi, don't scare him, listen to Renjie's explanation, I believe you will be proud of your disciple."

And I can tell you responsibly that the mole of the academy has been found. ”

Di Renjie replied respectfully: "Your Majesty came to investigate the case that day, because the domestic situation was unclear, and the disciple was worried about startling the snake, so he deliberately lied and shook His Majesty away.

In fact, the case itself is not difficult to investigate, but the opponent is not small, and the master has not returned from the outside. ”

Bai Fan was dissatisfied: "Faint move? You are modest, let's talk about it, if the whole case is handed over to you for investigation, how to start? ”

"There has been a large number of thunderstorms in the Wa Kingdom, and everyone in the country who can get their hands on steel is suspicious, including the Master's Bai Chamber of Commerce.

As long as His Majesty checks the account books of the steel production and income of which company in recent years, it is not difficult to find clues, of course, this is to investigate the giant thief from a large place, and find out the leaker of the academy needs another method. ”
