"For example, in what ways?" Chai Shao asked a little unconvinced.

Dou Qing laughed and said earnestly: "For example, how did you know in advance that the case had been transferred to the Criminal Department?" As a guard, this is beyond your ability, you are well-informed, although you transferred Zhang Xuan in time, but Yang Qi will be suspicious of you in his heart, of course, these are not the main reasons why Yang Qi does not want to use you, I think it is because of your twilight. ”

"Twilight?" Chai Shao was stunned.

Dou Qing nodded slowly, "You have the ability to think about the problem very carefully, which cannot be denied, but you are more than successful, but you are not enterprising enough, just like a shield, this does not meet Yang Qi's needs, I can understand his worries about the future of the Great Sui, he is eager for change, he is eager to get a spear to help him charge into battle, and sweep away all the shortcomings of the Great Sui."

And Zhang Xuan is such a sharp spear, think about it, how long has he appeared by Yang Qi's side, so many things have happened, even Yu Wenshu was deposed because of his appearance, how can Yang Qi not feel happy when such a sharp spear appears, how can he not reuse it, and you? ”

Chai Shao fell into silence, he had to admit that Dou Qing saw people very thoroughly, Yang Qi was indeed like this, he was full of worries about the future of Da Sui, but he hated himself for being young and powerless to change the status quo, and as soon as Zhang Xuan appeared, he immediately dismissed Yuwenshu, whom he hated the most, so how could Yang Qi not reuse Zhang Xuan?

Chai Shao sighed secretly in his heart, the times create heroes, this sentence is indeed true!

"What does the master think of Jang Hyun?" Chai Shao asked again.

Dou Qing's eyes were thoughtful, he lowered his head and pondered for a long time, then shook his head again, "I can't see through him!" ”

"How so?"

"I can't tell, let's talk about this later! You go back immediately, pay attention to every detail of the case, and report it to me at any time. ”

"Obedience!"

Chai Shao said goodbye and retired, Dou Qing slowly walked to the window, staring at the golden dome of Ziwei Palace in the distance, his heart was full of doubts, Zhang Xuan's performance in this case really made him feel strange and incomprehensible.

Zhang Xuan actually wanted to apologize for Luo Shixin, you must know that once the crime is convicted, his lightest punishment will be removed from office and expelled from Yanwangfu.

However, he tried his best to climb the big tree of Yang Qi, and did not hesitate to assassinate Yang Xuangan, but now he is willing to give up his future for a small Shandong officer.

Jang Hyun doesn't have to do this at all, he can help Luo Shixin clear his name behind his back, and it is impossible for Jang Hyun's wisdom not to think of this.

Could it be that he was trying to test how much Yang Qi valued him? It's possible, but Dou Qing still feels that Zhang Xuan's real purpose is not this, he must have a deeper and more secret purpose.

Dou Qing always had a looming thought in his heart, but he felt that Zhang Xuan could not be so far-sighted, but other than that, he couldn't find any reason to explain Zhang Xuan's willingness to apologize for Luo Shixin.

If this is the case, then Zhang Xuan is too shocking to him, Dou Qing couldn't help but say to himself: "I want to see, how did you solve this tricky matter?" ”

．．．．．．．．．

Zhang Xutuo walked through a long corridor and followed a minister to a magnificent official office, which was the seat of the Inner History Province, the center of power in the Great Sui, and the historical Inner History Province was later renamed Zhongshu Province and became the office of the prime ministers.

"Zhang Tongshou, please!"

Zhang Xutuo nodded, followed him into the side door, he went straight along the central axis, until he came to the first official room on the right, he stopped, this is Yu Shiji's courtroom, and he walked in quickly to report.

Zhang Xutuo was a little nervous in his heart, he got the news at noon today that the case of his apprentice Luo Shixin's injury had been changed to the trial of the Criminal Department, which gave him another glimmer of hope in his heart.

Although Zhang Xutuo doesn't know much about the world and the rules of officialdom, he has been an official for many years, after all, he also has some connections in the court, and he got the guidance of his former colleagues, asking him to go to Yu Shiji and give him a generous gift, maybe this case will take a turn for the better.

Zhang Xutuo didn't understand why he was looking for Yu Shiji, and the person who pointed him out didn't explain it thoroughly, but he also knew that Yu Shiji held the power of the edict and was the first minister of the imperial court, and in order to save the life of his apprentice, he had no choice but to let go.

"Zhang Tongshou, please come in, and the squire is waiting in the room."

Engaged walked out of the room, he glanced at Zhang Xutuo, only to find that he was wearing a half-old court clothes, he couldn't help but remind: "Yu Xiangguo doesn't like people to wear old clothes, do you want Zhang Tongshou to go and change into a new court dress first?" ”

Zhang Xutuo tidied up the court clothes, and sighed secretly in his heart, he only has a court dress, where can he change it?

He didn't say anything, and walked directly into Yu Shiji's official room, which was filled with a faint fragrance, which came from the bronze squatting beast incense burner in the corner of the house, and the whole room was bright and concise, neatly tidy.

And the person he was going to visit, Yu Shiji, the waiter of the internal history, was sitting behind a large table and writing hard, without raising his head, as if he had not seen his arrival.

Zhang Xutuo had a request for others, so he had to put down his self-esteem, he bowed deeply, "Xiaguan Zhang Xutuo, see Yu Xiangguo!" ”

In fact, Yu Shiji is not Xiangguo, Xiangguo is Su Wei, since the death of Neishi Ling Yuanshou, Neishi Ling has been vacant, Yu Shiji actually controls the Ministry of Internal History, and the people below flatter Yu Shiji, so they call him Xiangguo in private, and Yu Shiji also readily accepts.

Today, in order to save his apprentice Luo Shixin, Zhang Xutuo also had to call Yu Shiji Xiangguo against his will.

"Zhang Tongshou wait, I'll finish writing these few lines!" Yu Shiji said without raising his head.

"Xiaguan is not in a hurry!"

After a long while, Yu Shiji stopped his pen and read the document again, and then put the document aside with satisfaction, he looked up at Zhang Xutuo, and saw that he was wearing a half-old court dress, and he was suddenly a little unhappy in his heart.

This Zhang Xutuo didn't understand the rules of officialdom, and two days ago he actually sent two jars of pickles to himself, he thought it was gold jewelry inside, but it turned out to be pickles inside, so angry that Yu Shiji scolded and ordered someone to return the pickles.

Today, when he came to see himself in a half-worn court dress, did he really want to show how honest and frugal he was, to set off how extravagant these court officials were?

Yu Shiji was unhappy in his heart, but he didn't show it, and asked lightly: "Is there anything Zhang Tongshou looking for me?" ”

Zhang Xutuo also thought that Yu Shiji would take the initiative to talk to him about the defeat in the first two months, and he could also take the opportunity to explain the real situation, but Yu Shiji did not mention this matter at all, forcing himself to talk about the topic directly.

Zhang Xutuo snorted and said: "I came to find Yu Xiangguo for this, because I asked Xiangguo for help. ”

"Huh! Zhang Tongshou is too polite, everyone is a minister in the same court, just say anything directly, why do you want to ask for a word? ”

"I'm here for the Luo Shixin case, can you please ask Yu Xiangguo to see that he fought bravely to kill the enemy and made countless meritorious contributions on the battlefield, and he will be lightly dismissed, this is a little bit of my heart, please Xiangguo smile!"

Zhang Xutuo trembled his hand and put the gift list on the table, which was all his savings, as soon as the gift list was placed on the table, his hands seemed to be burned, and he immediately retracted, his face was flushed, this was the first time in his life that he bribed and gave gifts to people.

Yu Shiji's eyes were very vicious, and when he glanced at the corner of his eye, he saw clearly the number on the gift list, eighty taels of gold, Yu Shiji's heart suddenly became furious, this is to send Huazi! Is this Zhang Xutuo trying to humiliate himself?

"Ahh What is Zhang Tongshou doing? ”

Yu Shiji pretended to be surprised, and pointed to the gift slip with disgust: "This is the court, how can you give me this thing, am I Yu Shiji this kind of person?" Get it back! ”

"Just give Yu Xiangguo a glass of water and wine!"

"Take it back!"

Yu Shiji's angry face was not pretending, he was really angry, Zhang Xutuo actually only gave eighty taels, which was too much.

Zhang Xutuo was so embarrassed that he had to take back the gift list, he blushed and apologized: "It's the official who is abrupt." ”

Yu Shiji snorted heavily, "It's for the sake of you fighting bravely in Shandong to give you a little face, otherwise I have to beat you out." ”

"Thank you Yu Xiangguo for your tolerance."

Yu Shiji said with a cold face: "As for Luo Shixin's case, do you think the Ministry of Internal History will take care of such a trivial matter?" I've never heard of it, so go to the Criminal Department! Or go to Dali Temple, you will find the wrong place for me. ”

Zhang Xutuo didn't know that Gu Yi was Yu Shiji's confidant, and he also felt that it was a bit of a fuss to find Yu Shiji for this small case, he was ashamed and anxious in his heart, and he couldn't even go through Yu Shiji's way, what should Shixin do?

He was so helpless that he had to bow down and salute, "It's the official who is abrupt and has taken his leave!" ”

He slowly retreated, Yu Shiji looked at his back, and sneered, with these eighty taels of gold, Luo Shixin had to die.
