Chapter 468: Officialdom Habits

Li Longji picked up the saber, handed it to Chen Shi, and asked with a smile: "Chen Fuyin, please see what this is?" ”

Chen Shi stretched out his head to look, and saw that the word "true open" was faintly engraved on the blade of the knife pointed by Li Longji.

Li Longji returned to his seat and asked the guards beside him, "Where is the scabbard of this knife?" ”

The guard handed over the scabbard, Li Longji took it, and with a backhand, skillfully inserted the knife into the sheath, and the two became one, without the slightest difference.

Li Longji said with a smile: "This is the knife I wear, and it is engraved with the words "Zhenkai", which means: "True Dragon Son of Heaven, create a foundation." Unexpectedly, you Ashina Xian dared to pretend to admit this knife, could you not rebel? ”

Laughing.

Just when everyone was confused, Li Tao uncovered the mystery on the side: it turned out that on that day, Li Longji and Li Tao made a special trip to Ashina to visit Ashina Xian, and they saw Ashina offering porridge to help the people. On the one hand, Li Longji felt guilty for the people's poor life, and on the other hand, he was deeply grateful for Ashina's kind deeds. Unbeknownst to him, Li Longji was filled with indignation and anger, so he took out his saber from the guards and stepped forward to kill the evil beggar.

In order to inspect the officials' ability to handle cases, Li Longji deliberately threw the knife at the scene. After Li Longji learned about the conclusion of the case from Li Tao, Li Longji felt that the situation was serious, so he personally inquired into the case.

The evil beggar was originally killed by His Majesty, and the murder case of Ashina Xian turned out to be an unjust case! This made Chen Shi break down in a cold sweat on the spot, and repeatedly called for dereliction of duty and asked for punishment. But what happened to Guo Gou's identification of the master's murder? After Guo Gou was passed on in court, his confession made everyone cry and laugh.

It turned out that Guo Gou was in charge of the porridge relief. You have to get up early every day, which can be said to be idle day and night. After a long time, he complained about this loss of life and money. So he found a man from among the beggars, gave him dozens of dollars, and asked him to stir up trouble. I just hope that after the last trouble, Ashina was disheartened and gave up this good deed, and everyone slept well from then on.

I didn't know that there were twists and turns along the way. The wicked beggars were slain. There are only two brothers and sisters in Ashinaxian's family, Guo Gou saw that the government suspected Ashina Xian of murder, so he wanted Ashina Xian to die. can seek his family wealth, so he gave perjury and wanted to sacrifice Ashina to death.

But Ashina Xian was originally innocent, but why did he sign it. What about admitting that you are the mastermind of the murder?

Li Tao broke the clue in one word: "Under the big punishment." Why not? ”

One sentence made everyone look ashamed.

……

Li Tao really did not break his promise, and as soon as he made a move, the murder case of Ashina Xian was revealed.

Ashina Xian is also a person who knows how to repay kindness, and after he learned the truth of the matter from Ashina Snow Lotus, he and his sister came to Lantian Wangfu a few days ago to thank him.

"No problem! I have heard the name of Brother Ashina for a long time, it stands to reason that I, Li Tao, should set up a banquet for you to suppress you, since Ashina Shi you took the lead in inviting me to the banquet, I will not refrain no matter what? "Speaking of which. Li Tao smiled: "But I still have to bring a guest, Brother Ashina won't disagree, right?" ”

"How so? The guest of the king of Lantian is my guest. I'll be sure to sweep the couch to greet you. Ashina Xian hurriedly said.

"Well, we'll see you then!" Li Tao arched his hand.

After the Ashina brothers and sisters left, Li Tao called Li Bai and whispered a few words to him, and Li Bai nodded and left.

……

Jiang Jiao's mansion, after Li Bai's words were finished, Jiang Jiao couldn't help but be stunned.

After a long time, Jiang Xuan sneered: "Is that what King Lantian really said? ”

Li Bai nodded and said, "Exactly, word for word!" ”

"How is that possible?" Jiang Xuan was puzzled: "The king of Lantian is rich and rivals the country, how can he ask me for these things, what is going on?" ”

"King Lantian said, these things are urgently needed, he doesn't have time to collect these things, thinking that you may have ready-made ones here, so he uses them. If you don't have it here, he'll think of something else! ”

"Yes, yes, yes! I've got quite a few of them. As long as King Lantian can see it, it's too late for me to be happy! Speaking of this, Jiang Jiao said to Li Bai: "You sit down for a while, I will go to Zhang Luo in person, and I will come immediately." ”

With that, Jiang Xiang hurried away.

About the time when he touched a pillar of incense, Jiang twisted a large bag and returned to the living room. As soon as he entered the room, he poured the contents of his pocket on the table with a thud.

When Li Bai saw it, he almost laughed out loud, it turned out that his pockets were full of all kinds of jade products, ranging from inkstones to brooches, and many ornaments.

Jiang Yan wiped the sweat on his head: "The small pieces of jade that can be collected in my house are all here, if King Lantian doesn't like it, let me go for a day, I will find a way, it will be much better than these jades." ”

Li Bai got up and hugged his fists and said, "Thank you, these are enough, I'm going to say goodbye!" ”

As he spoke, Li Bai put the jade on the table back into his bag.

When he was about to go out, Li Bai seemed to remember something, and he turned his head: "The master has a message for me to tell you!" ”

"Does King Lantian have something to say to me?" Jiang Jiao said respectfully: "Please speak, Jiang Mou listens!" ”

"If Jiang Jiao was still the original Jiang shopkeeper in Luzhou, I wouldn't have had to be so troublesome. I'm afraid that the current Jiang Twist is no longer the original Jiang Hang, he will inevitably be contaminated with officialdom habits, if he doesn't accept something from him, he must be up and down in his heart, worried about whether I will do things for him honestly. Now that I have received his things, he is naturally relieved. Actually, with our relationship, it doesn't need to be like this at all. Li Linfu's matter, I, Li Tao, speak and count. ”

After finishing speaking, Li Baitou left without looking back.

Jiang Jiao stood in place in a daze, his face was blue and red for a while, what Li Tao said must be right, he was really worried about Li Linfu in the past few days, and it was difficult to sleep and eat. Li Tao sent Li Bai to ask for jade artifacts, which made him feel very strange, and now that Li Bai said it so clearly, he knew Li Tao's original intention.

"Am I really such a philistine?" Jiang Jiao couldn't help but ask himself.

……

On the evening of the second day of the first lunar month of the second year of Kaiyuan, large snowflakes fell from the dim sky one after another. Suddenly, the entire Chang'an City was shrouded in white snow.

Despite the heavy snowfall, the brothers and sisters Ashina Xian and Ashina Snow Lotus were still waiting for the guests in front of the door.

When Li Tao arrived in front of Ashina's mansion, the Ashina brothers and sisters had already been covered with a thick room of snowflakes, like two snowmen, which made Li Tao very moved.

Li Tao was sorry in his heart, he took off his cloak and saluted the Ashina brothers and sisters: "I'm sorry! Keep you two waiting! ”

"Lantian Wang is polite, this is what we should do......"

Before Ashina finished speaking, he was stunned, and he found that in addition to the two guards behind Li Tao, there was also an acquaintance he knew. (To be continued......)
