(Thanks: Generous tip from the Moshaocong brothers)

On the fourth day of the fourth month of the fourth month of the fifth year of Datang Tianbao, outside the west gate of Beihai City, which is more than 1,000 miles east of the capital, dozens of knights who arrived outside the city appeared on horseback. The leader was short and cold-faced, the black cloak on his body was full of dust, and the look on his face was slightly tired, but his eyes were shining brightly, revealing excitement.

"Ji Shicao, shall we enter the city overnight?" A knight beside him stepped forward and asked.

"Go to the city, find a secluded inn to stay, everyone can rest for a night, and tomorrow will be busy." The one who was called Ji Shi Cao was a hungry wolf raised by Jing Zhaofu Shi Cao, who led the team to Beihai from the capital for thousands of miles to join the army Ji Wen, and the right minister Li Linfu.

The group entered Beihai City, found an inn to live in the west of the city, and after dinner, Jiwen sat in the guest room with his eyes closed.

For this errand to Beihai, Ji Wen was extremely cautious, when leaving, the right minister Li Linfu alone and himself for more than an hour, to inform him of the importance of this trip, from Xiang Guo's seemingly calm tone, Ji Wen heard Xiang Guo's uneasiness.

During this time, Xiangguo's life was very difficult, His Majesty's attitude towards Xiangguo was a little cold, and even repeatedly refuted Xiangguo's face, and some officials in the DPRK and China had secretly begun to talk about the imminent fall of Xiangguo. Many people began to associate with Li Shizhi, who had been a little proud of the spring breeze recently, and the grass on the wall smelled the wind and began to look for their next home. Don't underestimate these wall grass, they will be the most likely to fall into the ground, once they see that they have lost power, these people will not hesitate to write and follow some people to impeach, which will be extremely fatal.

Sangkook didn't seem to be very agitated on the surface, but Jiwen could see that the errand that Sangkook had given him was important; Because this time I came to Beihai, I was going to deal with Li Yong, a famous man who was famous in the Tang Dynasty. And bringing down this person is just the beginning, and there will be a series of big dramas after that. Once this is done, the situation will be immediately reversed, and some people will pay a heavy price, and Sangkook will have no rival in the DPRK.

Givan understood this, so he was a little nervous as well. But Ji Wen understands that this time will be his best opportunity, and if he does this well, his status in the eyes of Xiangguo will surpass Yang Shenjin, surpass Wang Jie, and surpass Luo Xizao, the anchor of Yushi Channel, and the future is promising.

I remember that back then, I stayed in the position of Xinfeng County Cheng for more than ten years, and there was no chance of promotion at all, because the prince Xue Wei recommended himself and introduced himself to His Majesty, and His Majesty sealed all his future with a word.

"It's a bad thing, I don't need it." His Majesty's tone was light, but it was like a bolt from the blue to Giwen's ears. Ji Wen was aggrieved in his heart, "I haven't done anything bad, just by looking at me, Your Majesty, can you conclude that my character is not good?" ’。

The result of this recommendation was that he not only lost his position as the Cheng of Xinfeng County, but was delegated to Wannian County Wei, and no one dared to recommend him for promotion since then. Ji Wen stayed in the position of Wannian County Wei for several years, cowering and daunting every day, and was extremely embarrassed.

When everyone thought that Gwin would survive and have no future, a chance chance brought Gwin back to life, and he has been out of control ever since. It was born out of a seemingly ordinary lawsuit.

One of the duties of the county lieutenant is to be in charge of the conclusion of large and small cases in the county, and one day a murder case was reported to Ji Wen, which was a homicide caused by a brawl. A man named Mu Xiaoqi killed an idler on the street, and the file shows that the testimony of everyone present was different, some people said that the idler wounded the person with a knife first, and some people said that Mu Xiaoqi committed the murder first and was ruthless, and many confessions and witnesses made this murder case confusing. According to Tang Law, if an idle man is the first to commit murder with a knife, there is nothing wrong with Mu Xiaoqi killing the other party in defense, and if Mu Xiaoqi moves first, then Mu Xiaoqi will have to pay for his life with his life. This reversal is a world of difference, and it is a matter of life and death.

Ji Wen was not interested in business, and he didn't plan to be a discerning official, one day after drinking, he casually closed the case, sentenced Mu Xiaoqi to kill in defense, and returned home after compensating for funeral expenses. And his criterion for judging this case is neither based on confessional evidence, nor is it that he has a special liking for Mu Xiaoqi, although what he wrote in the file is that the evidence is conclusive that the idle man stabbed Mu Xiaoqi with a knife, but the real reason for his verdict is extremely absurd. It's just because he walks seven at home, and he has a nickname called Ji Xiaoqi. Mu Xiaoqi, Ji Xiaoqi, they are all Xiaoqi, there is no reason not to help.

Of course, this verdict was absurd, but the disheartenness of Jiwen at that time also reflected his state of mind at that time.

However, what Jiwin didn't expect was that it was this verdict that changed his fate dramatically. This Mu Xiaoqi is a slave of a family, and his master is called Li Yu, Ren Taichang Shaoqing. That's fine, Taichang Shaoqing is not a big official, but this Li Yu's old son is amazing, that is Li Linfu, who has just ascended to the stage, the right prime minister of the dynasty.

Li Yu and Mu Xiaoqi have a deep relationship with each other, and they secretly paid attention to this matter when this case happened, but he couldn't come forward, because his father Li Linfu had just ascended to the stage, and he didn't know how many people were waiting to find fault, and once he came forward, he would definitely cause trouble to his father. But he can't ignore it, Li Yu's favorite concubine Mu is Mu Xiaoqi's own sister, Mu cried and wiped her tears to ask Li Yu to excuse Mu Xiaoqi. When Li Yu was in a dilemma, the good news came, Wannian County Lieutenant Jiwen quickly cut through the mess, and made a verdict within a few days.

Li Yu, who breathed a sigh of relief, had a good impression of this Ji Wen, so he introduced him to his father Li Linfu. Ji Wen never expected to be able to catch the big ship of Li Linfu, and immediately mobilized all his wisdom to win Li Linfu's heart. He was keenly aware that there were countless talented people around Li Linfu, but what he lacked the most was someone who could do dirty work for Li Linfu. So Ji Wen wholeheartedly worked towards the goal of being a cool official, but anyone who attacked Li Linfu would secretly kill him if he couldn't do it, and his hands were covered with blood.

It was with this that he successfully won Li Linfu's trust, and his official position soared all the way, and he was placed by Li Linfu in the position of Jingzhao Mansion Shicao joining the army.

Jingzhao Mansion Shi Cao joined the army, and held the right to Jingzhao night ban, marriage, land, fighting, and litigation, and was the most powerful one among the six Cao of Jingzhao.

But Ji Wen was already very content, and he understood that it was not he who changed His Majesty's bad impression of himself, but Lee Sang-kook. When it comes to a certain time, a word from Xiang Guo can change His Majesty's opinion, so he is not in a hurry. As someone who has climbed to this position from the last moments of life, Giwin cherishes it all. He understood that if Li Linfu fell, he would also fall. So he tied his entire net worth to Li Linfu, and he regarded all those who were not good for Li Linfu as enemies, no matter what Li Shizhi you were, and what His Royal Highness the Crown Prince was.

And Giwin also knew that there were still competitors in his position, and another person was the same as himself, taking the route of doing dirty work, and that person was Luo Xizao. Speaking of which, although the two have not communicated frankly, the two seem to have a sense of sympathy for each other, and the means of doing things seem to have a kind of competition between each other.

A few months ago, Luo Xixiao did a terrifying worldly event, that is, he went to Jinyun and Banchuan to kill Wei Jian and Huangfu Weiming in office, although this matter was approved by the imperial court, but the courage and reputation of the person who did it also soared to the sky. When Rohizao came back to give the report, Giwin was there to listen. Luo Xizao, who was expressionless, said the process of his lore, strangled Huangfu Weiming with a bowstring, and killed Wei Jian with a bamboo cane, and said it without the slightest fluctuation.

From then on, Giwin knew that there was still a gap between himself and Roxizao, at least inferior to him in terms of calmness and composure. And later, Jiwen also figured out some other subtle cleverness of Luo Xizao. For example, the difference in the way of killing Wei Jian and Huangfu Weiming reflects Luo Xizao's meticulous thinking.

Huangfu is obviously a military general, so dying under a bowstring weapon is not an insult to him, just like dying on the battlefield. And Wei Jian is a Wenchen, and the way Wenchen dies is often a cane, and the difference between these two ways of death reflects Luo Xizao's last respect for them.

Ji Wen's realm has gone up to the next level, and the dead people in his hands before have not given the slightest respect, and from now on, he will have to kill people with more technical content. Who wouldn't kill someone? But how to kill is impressive and terrifying, so you need to think more about it.

On the night of the inn, Jiwen thought a lot under the lonely lamp, until a candle burned to the end and went out automatically, he sighed and undressed and went to bed.

It was raining and winding outside, and in the middle of spring, the weather became very cold.
