In the early afternoon, some of the officials detained in the lobby of the Criminal Department were released home one after another, and they were still in shock, not knowing that they had just been closed through the ghost gate. Yang Shen sat in the lobby with dark eyes and bloodshot eyeballs, scolding, and tore the note sent by Li Linfu in his hand to shreds.

was torturing Zhenghuan with all his strength, and the letter sent by Li Linfu was poured down like a scoop of cold water, instantly extinguishing the soaring fire in his heart. He didn't understand why the Prime Minister chose to give up at this time, obviously this fire had burned more and more, and he might be able to force a confession in the future, but he had to give up halfway.

Everyone in the hall dispersed, and Yang Shenjin also felt extremely tired, he wanted to go to Xiangguo's mansion in person to ask Xiangguo what and why, but he held back. Maybe Xiangguo has his own reason, maybe His Majesty put pressure on Li Xiangguo, maybe it is simply Xiangguo's whim, or maybe it is ....... All in all, at this time, it is not appropriate for me to question Xiangguo's decision, I have done my duty.

In the Xiangguo Mansion, the banquet was dispersed. On behalf of Li Linfu, Wang Jiezheng sent Yang Zhao out.

For a long time, Wang Ji and Yang Zhao have maintained a relatively good relationship. In the days when Yang Zhao and Li Linfu had a close relationship, the relationship between Yang Zhao and Wang Ji was the closest, and the two often got together to drink and chat, and Wang Ji was also a frequent visitor to the Zuixian Building opened by the Yang family. For this reason, Yang Shenjin and Li Linfu reminded Wang Ji more than once that they should pay attention to keeping a distance from Yang Zhao.

But the seemingly rude Wang Ji actually has his own little Jiujiu in his heart, although he is by Li Linfu's side, he has been looking for a way back for himself, and the Yang family, who is favored by His Majesty, is obviously his best way back. This point became even more urgent after Yang Shenjin's relationship with himself became more and more distant.

Speaking of which, Yang Shenjin is kind to himself, speaking of which Yang Shenjin is his cousin, when Yang Shenjin was the head of the Yushitai, he also promoted himself and recommended himself to the Yushitai as a servant. But Yang Shen relied on the old and sold the old, and never respected Wang Jie, not only regarded himself as kind to Wang Jie, but also revealed Wang Jie's background after a drink.

Wang Ji is the son of his father's fornication with the nurse in the family, and this incident is regarded as a shame by Wang Jie, but Yang Shen laughed with others after drinking, revealing the secret, making Wang Ji a laughing stock for others. Since then, Wang Ji has a deep resentment towards this cousin.

And this resentment grew bigger and bigger over time, planting the seeds of revenge in Wang Jie's heart, especially after the two became Li Linfu's right-hand men, with the struggle for power and the competition for favor by Li Linfu's side, it evolved more and more intensely. Li Linfu's attitude towards Yang Shenjin and Wang Ji also greatly stimulated Wang Jie, making Wang Fei feel that Yang Shenjin was a stumbling block for him to move forward.

After Wei Jian's downfall at the beginning of the year, it was Yang Shenjin who took over the position of the secretary of the criminal department instead of himself, and he also hinted that Li Linfu wanted to get this position, but was ignored by Li Linfu. After that, in the competition for the imperial historian, Li Linfu originally intended to let Wang Jiao get this position, but Yang Shenjin insisted on intervening his legs, which caused Li Linfu to be difficult to make a decision, and finally was cheapened by An Lushan, which made Wang Jiao bite his steel teeth. Besides, the investigation of Beihai County made Wang Ji even more angry, and even Yang Shenjin had to come to intervene in such an errand, and finally Li Linfu, who was obviously biased towards Yang Shenjin, gave this errand to Yang Shenjin, and he was once again empty-handed.

When the news of the smashing of the errand in Beihai County came, Wang Ji laughed happily and celebrated with a feast at home, drinking and listening to music. Yang Shenjin can handle such a simple case, and he was disturbed by Wang Yuan, a stunned young man, this is a big joke.

Wang Ji thought that this matter would be a turning point, and after Yang Shenjin came back, Xiang Guo would definitely drench the dog he scolded with blood, and he would never look at him from now on. But the facts made Wang Ji almost vomit blood. Xiangguo not only scolded him, but didn't even say anything serious, so he forgave him. Moreover, he still had high hopes for him, gave him the opportunity to make up for his mistakes, and directly ignored his request to recommend himself to Pei Kuan, who was the presiding judge Li Shizhi.

All this, Wang Jie's heart finally colded, he saw his position in Li Linfu's eyes clearly, it turned out that he was just regarded by Li Linfu as a person similar to Ji Wen and Luo Xizao, who specialized in charging into battle to do dirty work, but the credit did not fall on his head. He also figured it out, as long as Yang Shenjin was on his head, he would never think of the day when he would be reused by Xiangguo. So, the idea of finding a better way out for yourself became stronger and stronger.

When Yang Zhao came to visit Wang Jie, Wang Jiao had just gotten up. Originally, he was also a jury, but after watching Yang Shenjin jumping up and down in the lobby of the Criminal Department for half the night, Wang Ji was really bored and couldn't stand Yang Shenjin putting on a shelf in front of him, so he found a reason to leave the lobby of the Criminal Department and go home to sleep. Although he knew that his departure would give Yang Shenjin a reason to complain to Li Linfu, Wang Ji didn't care, anyway, it was already like this, how bad could it be? At least for now, Li Xiangguo still needs to be the vanguard for him, and at most he will reprimand a few words.

In the front hall, Wang Ji warmly received Yang Zhao, and ordered the maid to cook her own treasured plum blossom tea to receive the distinguished guests.

"What kind of wind blew you into my house today, brother? What a surprise to me. Wang Ji said with a smile.

Yang Zhao waved his hand and said: "Brother Wang, why do you bother to ask, you also know that Xiangguo has been dissatisfied with me recently, if I still come to you Brother Wang frequently, won't it make it difficult for you to be a man?" ”

Wang Ji laughed and said: "Brother, you are quite considerate of your friends, and you are also what you said, you have really surprised me recently, you were originally good with Xiangguo, why do you have to fight him?" I'm afraid that's not a big deal. ”

Yang Zhao sighed and said: "Brother, let me tell you the truth, I have great respect for Xiangguo, but you also know that Xiangguo doesn't treat me as his own, and I don't mean to go against Xiangguo, but I always have to think about it." ”

Wang Ji smiled and said: "I understand, I understand, your brother has great ambitions, how can he be willing to live behind others." ”

Yang Zhao smiled: "You don't hurt me, people live in the world, how can you not plan for yourself." When you and I talk to each other, I advise you to plan for yourself. ”

Wang Ji slowly drank tea and said, "I don't understand what you say." ”

Yang Zhao smiled and said: "Brother, of course you understand, I came here today to talk to you from the bottom of my heart." If my brother doesn't want to talk to me, then let's just drink tea and talk about the means of the Silla maid named Kim Hee-sun in Zuixianlou. ”

Wang Ji looked at Yang Zhao quietly for a long time, and said in a deep voice: "Brother, you should know that the interaction between me and you has been reprimanded by Xiangguo many times, and Yang Shenjin has also said a lot of bad things about me because of this, but has the door of my Wang family ever been closed to you Du Zhilang?" When did Du Zhilang come, didn't my Wang Ji greet him upside down? Have I ever been snub again? ”

"He never slackened himself and treated me like a guest." Yang Zhao said solemnly.

"That Wang Yuan humiliated Chen Miao'er, Du Zhilang only informed him, have I ever felt sorry for him again?"

"No, I didn't."

"That's it, Wang is really friends with Du Zhilang, you said today that I have a heart-to-heart relationship, but Wang has already been with you."

Yang Zhao smiled and said, "Okay, with your words, I can say the next words." ”

Wang Gong said: "I know that you have nothing to do today, especially in the current situation, you can come to my Wang Jie's house, there must be something important." ”

Yang Zhao said: "There is indeed something important, I want to ask you for a favor, help me mediate and persuade Xiangguo, and immediately ask Yang Shenjin to stop making a fuss about Li Shizhi's Pei Kuan's case, this matter is too big, it's time to stop." ”

Wang Ji smiled and said: "I know that there is nothing good, I'm afraid I can't help you in this matter, real people don't tell lies, this is the consequence of your Wang Yuan, if it weren't for his disturbance in Beihai County, how could there be today's situation?" You should know that Xiangguo is very annoyed now, and now let me help you persuade Xiangguo to stop, are you trying to make me scold? ”

Yang Zhao Zhengse said: "Brother, I know that this matter is not easy, but there are already rumors in Beijing, and people are panicking, and I am afraid that His Majesty will also come forward if it continues like this, and it is not good for Xiangguo to get into an uncontrollable situation." ”

"I'm a little confused, what do you mean by protecting the country? That's a little weird. ”

Yang Zhao said: "I just don't want to alarm Your Majesty. Xiangguo and Yang Shenjin's obstinate behavior has caused public anger, and I must come forward to stop it. ”

Wang Ji was stunned, stroked his palm and smiled: "Interesting and interesting, it seems that the rumors are correct, Du Zhilang does have the position of the left minister, this has already regarded himself as the left minister, this is the voice of the officials." What a way to win people's hearts, admire and admire. ”

Yang Zhao's face turned red, and he said with a straight face: "Since I have said this, I won't hide it." Yes, I am bound to win the position of Left Minister, and you should believe that I have the ability to obtain this position, because Your Majesty has personally agreed to consider this matter. If the officials also support me, this matter is a certainty. I admit that this time I came forward to stop this matter to win people's hearts, even if you don't help me, I can go into the palace and ask Your Majesty to come forward. But if you can help me mediate, I won't have to get out of control with Xiangguo. ”

Wang Ji smiled and said: "You want to eat glutinous soup again, and you are afraid of hot soup, so it's a good idea to fight." But if I help you, what good will I do? For no reason, let Xiangguo suspect that I am towards you, am I not a person inside and out? ”

Yang Zhao smiled and said: "This is the focus of today's discussion, I want to make a deal with you, do you want to hear it?" ”
