Qi Mingyan is notoriously picky.

If you want him to eat, you have to wait for the snow to fly in June.

It's just that I don't know why, except for the two people who had nothing to do with each other in the past, why did Qi Mingyan suddenly want to invite Bai Liye to dinner?

Baili Ye thought it was a big restaurant, but he didn't expect it to be just a roadside stall, and it was a very secluded roadside stall, a small alley where carriages couldn't enter, and the two walked side by side to have two teas.

This ghost place, I don't know how it was found by Qi Mingyan.

A wonton stand.

The man in charge of the stall is an old man, who looks about fifty or sixty years old, his sideburns are white, and the wrinkles at the corners of his eyes are afraid that he can trap flies, but his face is kind, and he looks like a kind-hearted person.

Bai Li Ye has been back to Yicheng for so long, and he has not eaten these roadside stalls, but he is not so repulsive, and naturally sits opposite Qi Mingyan.

Qi Mingyan glanced at him and greeted the old man: "Two bowls of leek filling." ”

"Great!" The old man answered eagerly, wiped his rough hands on his apron, and turned into the room.

"General, the leek-stuffed wontons here are the most authentic and delicious in the entire Yicheng." Qi Mingyan took out a pair of chopsticks from the chopsticks, handed them to Bai Liye, and drew another pair for himself.

Bai Li Ye took it, and the chopsticks knocked the table.

"I didn't expect Master Qi to like to eat roadside stalls."

Qi Mingyan ignored the ridicule in his words, and said with a smile: "The general is a person who has suffered at the border pass, so he should be able to accept this roadside stall, right?" ”

"Naturally." Bai Li Ye looked at the busy figure of the old man and said: "The border is bitterly cold, and you may not be able to eat hot food for ten days and half a month." At that time, if anyone could give me a bowl of hot ravioli, I would do whatever he asked me to do. ”

Qi Mingyan held the chopsticks for a moment, the smile on his face stiffened for a moment, and then said, "Let you die?" ”

Bai Li Ye replied with a smile: "Yes, but you have to slow down." ”

"The general has worked hard."

"Defending the family and the country, how can you talk about hard work?" Bai Li Ye waved his hand.

At the right time, the old man came over with two bowls of wontons, the white soup, the green onions floated on it, and the delicious wontons were hidden below, which made people move.

Bai Li Ye held the bowl and took a big sip of soup first, the soup was rich and mellow, he exhaled "cool", Qi Mingyan laughed loudly, and also took a big sip.

In a bowl of wontons, there are only twelve, which is not enough for two big men to eat, anyway, it is Qi Mingyan who treats him, Baili Ye in line with the principle of not slaughtering white and not slaughtering, called two more bowls, Qi Mingyan wanted to speak and stopped, and finally called two bowls for himself.

The two were silent, snoring in their mouths, until they sweated and drank the last mouthful of soup, Bai Li Ye touched his stomach, and he was still unsatisfied, and then he remembered to get down to business.

"Thank you, Lord Qi, for your hospitality."

That's true.

You must know that it is even more difficult to take money from Qi Mingyan's pocket than to take money from the household, and it is already the top of the sky to be able to ask for wontons.

For Qi Mingyan, Baili Ye is a typical case of kicking his nose and face.

His money bag hurts.

But at the thought of being reimbursed in return, he felt that the pain had been relieved a little.

"Have you ever heard of a sentence about Master Qi?"

"What?"

"Nothing to be courteous, either a traitor or a thief."

Qi Mingyan was stunned for a moment, then grinned with white teeth, Bai Li Ye also laughed, the two big men sat on the stall like fools and laughed at each other, the uncle felt nothing, glanced at them, and the wrinkles on his face squeezed up again.

"It's not that serious, but I do have something I want to ask."

Bai Li Ye leaned back and burped: "But I want to ask the reason for Lord Liu's actions recently?" ”

"Exactly."

"I'm going to say I don't know, do you believe it?"

Qi Mingyan didn't speak, only squinted at him.

Bai Li Ye touched his nose: "Master Qi is in the court, but he is clear-minded, and he understands that now the dark tide in the court is surging, and the group of people who are moved by Lord Liu, both openly and secretly, are all involved with General Ben, if General Ben didn't do anything, Lord Qi will definitely not believe it, but General Ben did not let people assassinate him." ”

Qi Mingyan's eyebrows moved slightly.

"Lord Liu is upright, he is a rare talent to solve cases in the court, but unfortunately his temperament is too straight and he can't be a man, and there are probably not a few people in the court who want to kill him."

"So the general doesn't deny that you're one of them?"

"I don't deny it, I do want to kill him if I have the chance." Bai Li Ye took a deep breath: "It's a pity, Lord Liu only wants to purge the Qing Dynasty and the opposition, analyze the truth, don't love money, don't love beauty, don't love power, and really has nowhere to start." To move the court officials, there must be a name, right? ”

Qi Mingyan nodded: "What the general said is extremely true. ”

"What's more, he's still my brother-in-law, no matter what, General Ben has to protect him, otherwise his sister won't be a demon in my mansion?"

"The general is afraid of this?"

"Of course I'm afraid, my wife has a gentle and kind personality, and I can't always accompany her in the house, if someone accidentally catches someone's way, where can I cry?"

Qi Mingyan knew about Li Tong's previous accidents, and he believed Bai Liye's words to some extent, so he didn't dwell on it.

"Besides, Lord Liu is so unafraid of power, he will definitely be able to cast a good baby in the next life."

Qi Mingyan gasped, if the first few words were all praising Liu Xing, this sentence was a threat to Ming Huang, he knew that Bai Li Ye was not so easy to let go of Liu Xing, and his immobility during this period of time was just paralyzing the other party, as well as paralyzing those who were slightly thoughtful.

This wonton is not a loss.

"It's just that General Ben doesn't know, who is Lord Qi used for?"

Qi Mingyan's fingers on his knees moved, he didn't expect Bai Liye to be so direct, he ate his wontons, and he didn't even say a superfluous polite word, just came up to the point, which was really a bit unprepared.

"Does the general have to ask so clearly?" Qi Mingyan's tone was a little cold.

Bai Liye smiled, not caring at all.

"Lord Qi is not involved in party disputes, you can obviously not ask about these things, but you still came, the person who can make Lord Qi spend money to invite you to dinner, I'm afraid it is not a nameless person, right?"

"But a bowl of wontons, what kind of dinner is it?" Qi Mingyan touched his knee weakly.

Bai Li Ye counted the few empty bowls in front of him, the corners of his lips hooked, and said, "More than one bowl Oh Lord Qi." ”

Qi Mingyan choked: "......" Damn, the money bag hurts even more.

"Master Qi, whether you believe it or not, General Ben really doesn't know about this matter." Bai Li Ye touched the porcelain bowl that was already cold: "Now Lord Liu is bent on going his own way, looking at this momentum, I am afraid that I will offend the people in the entire court, and now I am only a person on my side, and next time it may not be." ”

The words were not said thoroughly, but Qi Mingyan knew.

Liu Xing probably received someone's guidance, felt that the court was dirty, and wanted to come to a thorough purge for the emperor, maybe not for the emperor, Liu Xing himself was a stunned man who went all the way to the black, and was committed to creating a peaceful and prosperous world where the people enjoyed Heqing Haiyan, otherwise those unsolved cases would not have been solved in his hands.

The people of Dali Temple, one of them is counted as one, and they are all quite similar to him, especially the ones he pulled up by himself, which is really indomitable like a donkey pulling a mill.

This turmoil also has their credit.

I don't know what Liu Xing told them, one or two don't take their lives seriously, especially when they find the evidence of the officials' crimes, everyone is as excited as if they have been beaten with chicken blood, and the investigation is even more exciting.

In this regard, Liu Xing only has one sentence: "Keep up the good work." ”

After Bai Li Ye and Qi Mingyan separated, they immediately went home.

"Biyu, send someone to keep an eye on Qi Mingyan and see who he is doing things for."

"Yes." Biyu gestured behind him, only to see a shadow quickly crossed, even if someone saw it, it was only as if it was dazzled.

"The old boy is hiding very deeply, if it weren't for Liu Xing's big move this time, I'm afraid he would still be dormant, and these old foxes are really calm enough."

A gust of cold wind blew, and Baili Ye rolled up his sleeves: "It's cold again, I don't know when it will snow, and it will be ...... then."

Thinking of Li Tong, a smile appeared on Bai Liye's face.

"Does the general want to take his wife to the other courtyard to escape the cold?"

"Well, you have someone clean up first, while there's still time."

Biyu nodded.

There was time, but not enough.

After Qi Mingyan left the wonton stall, he did not return home, but re-entered the palace.

In the imperial study, Baili Xian frowned, listening to what Qi Mingyan said, his thoughts were complicated, he originally thought that Baili Ye had passed the news to Liu Xing, and deliberately asked Liu Xing to do these things, so as to paralyze him, but he didn't think that Bai Li Ye really didn't know the inside story, but Liu Xing had a master behind him.

But that's right, when Baili Xian ascended the throne, Liu Xing was already Dali Siqing.

At a young age, the future is limitless.

However, there is a reason why Baili Xian kept Liuxing because Liuxing was chosen by the emperor.

There are also many people who want to squeeze him out, after all, Liu Xing is only good at investigating cases, and he is really inferior to immature children in terms of interpersonal communication, and he has offended many people unconsciously, this time it is better, and he is offended all of a sudden, originally the two parties are still competing with each other, and now Liu Xing is inserting a jar, and everyone is in danger, and there is a tendency for the two opposing parties to cooperate.

As the saying goes, the enemy of the enemy is the friend.

Liu Xing acts, touches interests, and no one will sit still.

Bai Li Ye returned home, and went to find Li Tong as soon as possible, Li Tong was having a headache because of Liu Xing, she never expected Liu Xing to be so uncontrollable, but after thinking about it, she also figured out a plan, simply have a big mess in the court, her own party is not happy, and the party opposite doesn't want to live in a corner.

Let's have a good time!
