Coming out of the Chengguo Mansion, Qin Lin proposed to visit the household department again, and saw the apricot yellow wine beckoning halfway through, and it was noon, and there was a gurgling sound behind him.

Looking back, Fat Lu rubbed his round little belly embarrassedly, and sneered in a low voice: "Brother Qin, do you think we are?" ”

At this time, it was already noon, and the roadside shop Xiao Er put the white hand towel on his elbow, and the shouting of the Beijing accent and Beijing rhyme was particularly cordial: "The sauce elbow is fragrant, the sesame fire is full of stars, the white meat is oily, the hot meat stuffed big buns, Lao Bai is not spicy and doesn't need money, please ~~"

Everyone ran for two hours in the morning, and they were all so hungry that their stomachs were growling, and their mouths were watering when they heard this sound.

"Fatty, aren't these restaurants bad," Qin Lin laughed, waved at Xu Jue and the others, and pointed forward: "Seeing each other is fate, let's handle the case side by side today, this official invites the big guys to have a light meal, everyone must appreciate their faces!" ”

The cheap shop is a time-honored brand that existed in the Yongle period, famous for the roast duck in the oven, but the name is called the cheap shop, the price is not cheap at all, and the diners are mainly officials in Beijing. Here the captain of Jinyi and the Dongchang fanzi, add up to twenty or thirty people, and the wine and rice of a cheap shop are always dozens of taels of silver.

But where does Qin Lin care about this? The Cao Gang and the Wufeng Maritime Merchants combined, it is by no means a bragging to say that the rich are rival countries, Qin Lin has two percent of them, even if he invites all the garrisons of the Beijing Division to eat at the cheap shop, he can afford to eat.

Xu Jue laughed, the people in Dongchang were used to eating and drinking for nothing, and they were willing to spend Qin Lin's money, so they smiled and said: "Jingshi knows that Qin Commander is righteous and squanders money, and has the name of timely rain, and we will ...... today."

Everyone also rubbed their hands and laughed, full of plans to open their bellies and eat violently today, and it is refreshing to eat Qin Lin bankrupt.

Suddenly, Feng Bangning interjected: "Commander Qin, what you said is not right, let's fight for the king's affairs, we should focus on official business, why do we think about eating and drinking first?" The palace saints Li Niangniang and Feng Sili are all looking forward to the outcome of our case, but you have to give up the case and go to a cheap shop, it will be too disappointing to live up to the emperor's grace. Xu Zhangxing, Chen Lixing, do you two say that this is the truth? ”

Uh~ Xu Jue and Chen Yingfeng made a sound in their throats, but they really didn't expect Feng Bangning to suddenly take advantage of this to make trouble, after all, he is the master's nephew, and he must follow him to speak, but Qin Lin invited them to agree, and it was not easy to turn around for a while.

Cao Xingwang stood behind Feng Bangning and sneered at Qin Lin, making Lu Yuanzhi and Niu Dali very angry, but they were held by the other party's big hat, which was difficult to refute.

Feng Bangning was very proud, Qin Lin divided the north-facing mountain house, saying that he was looking at the roof of the Taihe Hall of the Forbidden City in the north, and suddenly felt loyal to the monarch to serve the country, and choked him enough, so he waited until now to take revenge for this arrow.

To everyone's surprise, Qin Lin did not retort and ridicule, but said with a haha: "What Chief Feng said is that the lower officials are not well considered. In that case, let's buy some sesame baked cakes and go to the yamen of the household department while nibbling on them. ”

Qin Lin was so easy to "succumb", Feng Bangning was taken aback, thinking about it carefully, he felt that the case solving of this surnamed Qin was not as magical as the legend, so he wondered if he had thought too highly of him before, but in fact, this person didn't have any great skills?

Everyone bought some sauce elbows and sesame baked cakes on the side of the road to fill their stomachs, Xu Jue and Chen Yingfeng didn't care, they just felt that Feng Bangning was too stubborn; Those ordinary lieutenants and Dongchang fans were disappointed, a sumptuous banquet turned into a scorched and unpalatable baked cake, in the cold winter, blowing the cold wind on the street while walking and gnawing, knowing that it was the factory guard pro-army, I don't know where I thought it was a coolie!

Against the cold wind, gnawing on the baked cakes all the way to the yamen of the household, the little officials who guarded the door were startled, I don't know who the gang was, and when they saw that it was the group of factory officials, they hurriedly went in to report, and then invited them into the signing room.

Zhang Xueyan, the head of the household department, walked out with an angry face, his expression was quite unkind, and he didn't greet everyone, so he asked, "What are you doing in the lobby of the household department?" ”

Xu Jue and Chen Yingfeng had already known that this great Situ was not easy to mess with, but he was not as easy to talk as Zhu Yingzhen just now, so they shrank their mouths and looked at Qin Lin.

Qin Lin arched his hand, and before he could speak, Zhang Xueyan blew his beard and glared at him, and our Chief Qin immediately deflated, and smiled bitterly at Xu and Chen, which means that I can't help Lao Shangshu.

Feng Bangning was used to being rampant, and he relied on his uncle's support, and even Shang Shugong of the Ming Dynasty didn't pay attention to it, seeing Qin Lin retreating, he became more and more proud, and said in an official tone: "Zhang Shangshu, the lower official is investigating the theft of the "Qingming Riverside Map" by the Empress Dowager's order, and wants to investigate the diplomatic links some time ago, so I went to your yamen to investigate, and asked Zhang Shangshu to call the two specific ministers to come out, let's ask about the case." ”

Zhang Xueyan listened to the sneer, didn't say a word, and waited for Feng Bangning to finish waiting for a long time before squinting his eyes and asking him: "That's all, finished?" ”

Feng Bangning nodded inexplicably.

"One, pie, hu, yan!" Zhang Xueyan was full of emotion, and suddenly he turned the dough, grabbed the tea bowl and smashed it with a bang, and said angrily:

"The six departments are important to the imperial court and the public instrument of the country, and they want to participate in and visit, and they have their own Metropolitan Procuratorate and Six Departments to give things, and you and other factory guards are royal private weapons, how can they invade the public with private? The old man, the lobby of the household, how can you allow you to blaspheme? Bah, even if the court staff beats the old man to death, it is categorical that the national law cannot be abolished! ”

Damn, Lu Yuanzhi and Niu Dali are the first time they have seen the civil officials of the Ming Dynasty, and they are really powerful, Qi Qi spit out his tongue, and secretly said luck for his own parents: Fortunately, it was not Qin Lin who said it just now, otherwise he would be scolded by Lao Shangshu, and this cheek would be thrown to his grandmother's house.

In the middle and late Ming Dynasty, the power of the civil official group was enough to compete with the imperial power, and even overwhelm the imperial power, and the so-called court staff also beat those who liked to talk nonsense.

Feng Bao came in person, Zhang Xueyan wanted to give him three points, and the identities of Xu Jue and Feng Bangning, Lao Shangshu really didn't care about it.

Feng Bangning was scolded by splitting his head and covering his face, the whole person was wooden, and it took a while to come back to his senses, and when he was about to argue with Zhang Xueyan, he couldn't say that he was a person, and he was wandering for a while, his face was as swollen as a pig's liver, and he just wanted to sew it in a way.

Qin Lin kept his head down, as if he didn't dare to look up at Zhang Xueyan, but his shoulders shrugged - the fat man who was familiar with Chief Qin's surname suddenly realized, and stabbed Niu vigorously with his fingers, and the two looked at each other and smiled, everything was silent.

No matter how fierce Xu Jue and Chen Yingfeng were, they didn't dare to be presumptuous in front of Lao Shangshu, so they hurriedly compensated him, saying that they didn't come to check the household department led by Zhang Shangshu, but just asked the two officials of the ministry Cao to ask about the situation.

Qin Lin waited for Feng Bangning to have enough of the foreign appearance, and then slowly stood up and persuaded him to do evil: "Zhang Shangshu, this matter has little to do with the household department, let's investigate, and make it public to the world, return your innocence, and clear up the untruths that impeached you!" ”

"It's almost the same to say this," Zhang Xueyan smiled this time, stroked his beard and snorted: "Hmph, if this Feng someone is willing to talk like you, why does the old man bother to do this?" If it weren't for Commander Qin's persuasion, the old man would have reported his illness tomorrow and would not have been accompanied! ”

My mother, Xu Jue, Chen Yingfeng and Cao Xingwang are about to cry, if Zhang Xueyan, a very wealthy and famous scholar of Confucianism, is so angry that they will sue for illness, this time the name of the factory guard will be too "loud", and the brothers will wait to be crushed to death by the civil officials of the Manchu Dynasty.

Xu Jue arched his hand towards Qin Lin: Brother, thanks to you this time!

Feng Bangning was extremely jealous and ashamed, and it was really embarrassing to stand aside.

Qin Lin's words sounded good, Zhang Xueyan was willing to cooperate next, and found Cheng Xu and Guo Suicheng to show them the handover list that had been sorted out.

Qin Lin ordered a copy of the document to be copied and checked with the records of the officials and supervisors in the palace, so he led everyone to leave, Zhang Xueyan sent it to the gate with a smile, but he kept a cold face at Feng Bangning, and he was obviously angry with him, and everyone snickered when they saw it.

Coming out of the household department, the sky was a little dark, and it was almost the time to finish eating, Feng Bangning suffered a stomach full of anger in the household department, and he didn't dare to pretend to be big anymore, and said that this time Qin Lin wanted to treat him, we would not stop him, and ask everyone to eat him poor!

As everyone knows, this time Qin Lin didn't mention the matter of eating, and said that he would take everyone to Wuqingbo's Mansion in one go.

Xu Jue and Chen Yingfeng were so hungry that they looked at Feng Bangning's eyes, because of what this nephew and young master said at noon, no one dared to mention it first - Zhang Lao'er of the household department had already fed him, and he couldn't get it to be sprinkled on the heads of others, but it wasn't boring for himself?

Feng Bangning was even more embarrassed to take the initiative to mention it, didn't he slap himself in the face? Helpless, he starved and followed Qin Lin all the way to Wuqingbo's mansion.

Oh mom, there is a feast of singing and feasting in Wuqingbo's Mansion, and it is very lively!

After the briefing, Li Wei would not come out to greet him, but his son, Li Gao, the brother of the Empress Dowager Li and the uncle of the country, came out to greet him, invited everyone in, and said that the old man was having a banquet with his relatives, so please wait for a while.

Suddenly, a tall beauty dressed in red clothes ran down like a gust of wind in the hall, and her two long legs were dazzling, and everyone didn't know her, and she said that it was a concubine in Wuqingbo's mansion.

But seeing her pull Qin Lin with a smile, she didn't shy away from outsiders, and said affectionately: "Haha, you're here too?" Rare Guest! ”
