"I've already greeted Vice Dean Xia Houjie. The white-clothed scribe who went to the Holy Garan Academy to proclaim the edict was sitting in front of the emperor at this moment, and said very casually. If it were for those courtiers to see it, I am afraid that it would shock the jaws of many people, and His Majesty the Emperor would allow a person to be so casual in front of him so calmly?

"But," the Emperor looked up at the white-clothed scribe, who continued, "our gentleman seems to have something to do with your nephew. “

The emperor smiled and said, "We have a total of thirty-two cabinet scholars, which one are you talking about?"

"Is there any difference between offending one and offending thirty-two?" The white-clothed scribe took a glass of wine out of nowhere, took a sip as he spoke, and said with a slight smile, "Thirty-two cabinet scholars, only this Du Yuheng has always been sued by someone, but didn't all those people in the cabinet take it down?"

The emperor's face changed slightly, "There is such a thing?"

The white-clothed scribe smiled and said, "You should put aside the matter of cultivation, after all, this empire is yours." You can't leave everything to the third and fifth children, right?"

The emperor lowered his head and muttered for a long time, not knowing what to think. The white-clothed scribe looked at the emperor like this, and the two of them didn't say a word, and after a long time, the white-clothed scribe stood up and looked at the scenery outside the palace, with a slight smile on his face, but there was also a trace of worry between his eyebrows.

In a small tavern, Gao Wei and Bai Rufeng sat on the side by the window, two people, three or two pots of wine. The weather was a little overcast, and it was indeed a little late, and the tavern lit candles to keep the light up.

"Old Bai," Gao Wei picked up his wine glass, drank it all, and then said, "You have been in the academy for a long time, how about introducing me to our Elder Du?"

Bai Rufeng smiled and said, "You are an inspection envoy, do you still need me to introduce you?"

"Aren't I a newly appointed inspector?" Gao Wei smiled bitterly, "Besides, if you tell me, I will deepen my understanding!"

Bai Rufeng smiled, "Okay, I'll tell you about this Elder Du." ”

Gao Wei's relationship with Bai Rufeng can be regarded as friends now, and Gao Wei was also influenced by Ulan at that time. From Bai Rufeng's introduction, Gao Wei learned a little about this Du Yuheng.

Du Yuheng is a person who makes many big mistakes, and there are many small mistakes. Small mistakes are not a big deal, and they are generally not accounted for. But there are a lot of things that are a bit excessive, all of which are about wiping his son's ass. All big mistakes are because of what mistakes his son makes, Du Yuheng is to wipe his son's buttocks, which involves some things.

In short, Du Yuheng is too fond of this son. This son is the kind of person who is more capable, so he will affect himself. Gao Wei sighed silently: There are cheating fathers everywhere!

Gao Wei is actually more worried about the fact that Du Yuheng has been in the officialdom for so long, but that he is more worried about the group of cabinet scholars. There are thirty-two scholars in the cabinet, and they have always been in the same spirit, and they have moved the whole body with one attack, and if they offend one, they will offend thirty-two. This is what really worries Gao Wei.

Gao Wei looked at Bai Rufeng, and thought silently in his heart: I still have to know more things about this Du Yuheng, but this Bai Rufeng shouldn't know too much, after all, Du Yuheng is the cabinet master of the empire, and what Bai Rufeng knows is not a secret after all, and it has no value. To check this person, including the other thirty-one people, there should be some movements. Knowing oneself and knowing one's opponent is the only way to survive a hundred battles, then you must know some unknown things.

"Lao Bai," Gao Wei stood up and said, "follow me to a place." ”

"Where?"

"You'll know when you go. Gao Wei smiled and said, "I want you to remember that place, if you mess with me in the future, you must remember this place." “

Bai Rufeng also understood that it was very important for him to go to this place with Gao Wei, at least for Gao Wei.

Gao Wei and Bai Rufeng walked together, walking around and around, and walked into a small courtyard. This yard is the only house in the vicinity, and there are no more buildings around.

Bai Rufeng silently asked in his heart: When did this have such a courtyard? Bai Rufeng had the impression that there were no buildings in this place, but now there is a courtyard here. Could it really be that I am mistaken?

Bai Rufeng remembered this place very clearly, this place should have been a mass grave! One of the exercises he practiced was often here, but that exercise might not be so easy for the people of this academy to accept.

"Come in. ”

A voice drifted softly into the ears of the two of them. The voice was weak, and there was even a hint of gloom. After hearing this voice, Bai Rufeng's face was as pale as paper as if his soul had been hit hard.

Gao Wei frowned slightly, and motioned for Bai Rufeng to follow him in. Bai Rufeng didn't dare to say anything at this time, so he followed Gao Wei tightly in.

As soon as he entered the room, Gao Wei said a word, which made Bai Rufeng's heart feel warm.

"I've said it many times, don't you touch it, my people!"

"Hey, hey, hey. "The eerie laughter seems to be coming from all directions, and when you hear it, you will have a very uncomfortable feeling, as if there are dozens of cats scratching your heart at the same time.

"No matter what you're here to do this time, I'm not collecting money this time. A rickety old man came out of a corner of the gloomy room, still with an eerie laugh that had just come from him.

Gao Wei raised his eyebrows and said, "You will be so good?"

The gloomy old man smiled, moved his gaze to Bai Rufeng's body, and looked up and down.

"You're interested in him?" Gao Wei's brow fell.

"If you give him to me as my apprentice, I can serve as your subordinate. The grim old man smiled and said, "Only for you." ”

Gao Wei's face couldn't help but move, as if others didn't know, but he did know, this ghostly old man was a real powerhouse, and this old man had the most powerful intelligence organization in the entire continent - the underworld.

"Good. Without waiting for Gao Wei to answer, Bai Rufeng preemptively said.

The grim old man smiled, "Hehe, the transaction was successful. Then he turned to face Gao Wei and said respectfully, "My master, I think we can start working." ”
