It was a little early to disperse this morning, and before Bai Ang returned to the Criminal Department, he was stopped by Liu Jin who came in a hurry. Liu Jin briefly told him what had happened, and when Bai Ang heard this, he was surprised, and immediately summoned a lot of errands from the Criminal Department, and hurried to Qi's house on East Street.

In later generations, Zhou Zhi had long heard of Bai Angqi's name from the history books. Needless to say, Bai Ang has a good reputation in history, and he is a good official.

Yes, during the Hongzhi period of the Ming Dynasty, there were many Qing officials and good officials. It was these important ministers of the imperial court and the efforts of Emperor Hongzhi that led to the short-lived Hongzhi Zhongxing in the middle of the Ming Dynasty.

Bai Ang, Zi Tingyi, is a native of Changzhou, Jiangsu. In the eighth year of Tianshun, he was admitted to the Jinshi, and was awarded the title of Like to the matter, and later because of the assessment of Liu Tong's rebellion, he was promoted to the military department, and then he was promoted to the household department. In the sixth year of Hongzhi, Bai Ang served as the secretary of the criminal department.

Bai Ang is now in his sixties, gray-haired, but in good spirits. Although he is a second-class criminal department scholar, he doesn't have a bit of an official frame at all, and he is a very easy-going person.

Bai Ang stepped forward and first met the crown prince Zhu Houzhao.

Zhu Houzhao still respected such an old man, and the important ministers of the court were still very respectful, and he stopped him with a slight smile. After that, Zhang Yong, Wei Bin, Qiu Ju, Gao Feng and others all came over and saw Bai Ang.

Bai Ang obviously didn't have a good impression of these eunuchs, so he just waved his hand casually and ignored them.

Since Liu Jin led Bai Ang into the hospital, Zhou Zhi's starry eyes were staring at Bai Ang. Just a few glances, Zhou Zhi has a good impression of Bai Ang.

At this time, Zhou Zhi naturally came over to see Bai Ang.

Zhou Zhi's status is humble, so he naturally wants to bow down to Bai Ang. If it weren't for the prince's participation today, Zhou Zhi would not have been able to see this important minister. There is a huge disparity between their identities. Zhou Zhi clearly knew that even his mentor Yang Yiqing had to be respectful and respectful in front of Bai Ang.

The easy-going Bai Ang said, "No need, you are Zhou Zhi, right?" ”

Zhou Zhi was stunned for a moment, and couldn't help but be a little complacent.

I didn't expect Bai Ang to know his name, it seems that his reputation is really big.

But then Zhou Zhi's heart cooled a lot.

Bai Ang said, "Young offspring, the limelight is very strong!" Although the old man doesn't know you, he knows that you are a student of Yang Yiqing, so he still has to teach you a few words.

Don't be too sharp, you, compared with your teacher Yang Yiqing, are far behind in this point.

In addition, as a scholar, you must think repeatedly about your actions, and you can't do whatever you want when your mind is hot, and do what you want. Take today's incident as an example, it's a good thing that your scholar is unhappy, and he was arrested by the Qi family, you can report to the official, but you have to come alone. Hum! It's also a shame that the Qi family didn't cook you, if you die in the Qi family, isn't that wronged, and you came to seek death? ”

I have to say that Bai Ang spoke very mean to Zhou Zhi, but what he said was obviously very correct. Zhou Zhi's face turned red for a while.

I thought I was strategizing and daring. But when Bai Ang said this, he was a very stupid action.

It's all too reckless to act on your own.

Fortunately, things went according to what I had planned. If there is another deviation, his own life, as well as Qi Yanwu's life, will be in danger.

Zhou Zhi thought about it like this, so he bowed deeply to Bai Ang and said respectfully, "What the lord admonished, the kid wrote it down!" ”

Very sincerely.

Bai Ang nodded slightly, and only a slight smile appeared on his wrinkled face.

Then Bai Ang glanced around the courtyard a few times, and when he saw the cauldron, his brows furrowed slightly. Seeing several house slaves with broken heads on the ground, Bai Ang expected that it must have been sent by the crown prince Zhu Houzhao. He has been in officialdom for many years, so he naturally knows how to be flexible and maneuver left and right. So they turned a blind eye to the deaths of these people.

Bai Ang then asked the servants he brought to tie up all the members of the Qi family and escort them all back to the Criminal Department.

Yes, the house slaves and thugs were all caught. It stands to reason that they are not even accomplices, but since the Qi family is so arrogant, there must be a lot of lawlessness in the future. Bai Ang obviously wanted to use them to try more of the Qi family.

However, in fact, for such a thing as the Qi family, there is no need to go through the Criminal Department. But the prince came forward, and the matter was big, and the criminal department still had to take care of it.

Bai Ang said, "Your Royal Highness the Prince, after the old minister goes back, he will arrange for someone to try it as soon as possible, the Qi family's crime is not small, and the old minister will definitely give an explanation to His Royal Highness." ”

"Okay, this prince is naturally convinced of Bai Shangshu." Zhu Houzhao's expression was grim, and he said, "The heroine of the Qi family is called Long Xiaoyun, and this Long Xiaoyun is a femme fatale. She was a heavy hand on Prince Ben's companion, and the damage was not light.

This prince is most disgusted with vicious women. Now let her kowtow to Zhou Zhixiu a few times, so that Zhou Zhixiu can dissipate her anger a little. ”

Zhu Houzhao is really interesting, Zhou Zhi thought of it.

At this time, it is tantamount to humiliating Long Xiaoyun.

Bai Ang obviously felt that something was wrong, but he still asked the messenger to take Long Xiaoyun over. Long Xiaoyun's mood is much calmer now, she hates Zhou Zhi to death. Now the prince asked Long Xiaoyun to kowtow to Zhou Zhi on the spot, and Long Xiaoyun was even more annoyed.

However, she didn't dare to disobey.

After all, it seems that only by coping with these things can she live. As long as you live, it's good.

So she doesn't care about any face now. Slowly knelt at Zhou Zhi's feet, and knocked his head three times in a row before it was over. Zhou Zhi naturally didn't have half a bit of pity for her.

Bai Ang then bid farewell to the prince and led the servants to escort the Qi family away.

Zhu Houzhao, Zhou Zhi and others naturally have no need to stay here.

"Okay, Zhou Zhixiucai, you are finally in danger, and Prince Ben will rest assured.

Today, Prince Ben will give you a day off, and tomorrow you will go to study with Prince Ben! Zhu Houzhao gently patted Zhou Zhi's shoulder and said.

Zhou Zhi naturally expressed his gratitude to the prince. Unexpectedly, Zhu Houzhao said very unhappily, "What is Zhou Zhixiucai talking about?" The prince will definitely take care of your affairs. But now, it's true that Prince Ben has come out for you today, and you really should thank Prince Ben.

Hehe! The prince's request is very simple, you just need to come up with another fun thing for the prince! ”

Zhou Zhi suddenly couldn't cry or laugh. Alas! The prince's stubborn temperament is afraid that it will be difficult to change for life. No way, since the prince has spoken, he still has to come up with something interesting.

Zhu Houzhao then led Liu Jin, Zhang Yong and others away.

Only Zhou Zhi, Kou Peihan, Qi Yanwu and the three or five guards left by the Criminal Department were left in the courtyard.

Kou Peihan was staring at Zhou Zhi with a very admiring look at him at this time. She secretly thought that her husband was really amazing, and today he expected the prince to come. And look at the relationship between the husband and the prince, it seems to be very tacit!

My husband has only been so friendly with the prince in just a few months. In this way, my husband's future is really limitless. Now the only thing I hope for is that my husband can raise people in high school in the township test, and it will be better to take the Xie Yuan exam.

Qi Yanwu's eyes searched around the courtyard, as if he was looking for something. Suddenly, his tiger eyes lit up.
