If according to the clues provided by the Duchess of Pingcheng, he successfully found the crime of forcing Liang Liang to become a prostitute and forcibly occupying the people's daughters by the decree of the Ministry of Rites, not only can this be used as a gap to clean up all the people in the Ministry of Rites, but also Li Shangshu can be impeached for the crime of lax discipline.

In this way, Li Shangshu wanted to borrow the Japanese state to come to Beijing, which could only be regarded as a confession, and without being affected by his relatives of his father-in-law's family, he could already burn high incense and worship the Buddha.

This matter is not of much benefit to Xiao Huai'an, but it is the result that Lin Weiyong wants to see the most, so Lin Weiyong can believe him the most at the moment.

So as soon as these two people went out to investigate, it took a whole day's work. Li Shangshu leisurely enjoyed the flowers and drank tea in the Ministry of Rites, chanting poems and painting leisurely, and was glad that Xiao Huai'an didn't come over today, and when he came back to his senses, it was already evening.

"No, Xiao Huai'an has always been very diligent in His Majesty's orders, how could he not come to supervise today?" Li Shangshu was sitting in the backyard garden drinking tea and reading a book, and accidentally noticed that it was getting late, so he actually remembered.

The little official next to him also relaxed for a day, yawned, and said casually, "Maybe he really believed your words, and planned to send someone to send the envoy to send the so-called true road map." ”

"No way, he's not stupid, if he believed that he would have gone long ago, he would have dragged it out until today." The more Li Shangshu thought about it, the more wrong it became, he stood up and slapped the poetry book he had just bought back today on the table, making the little official who was stunned tremble.

"No, you quickly send someone out to inform Shen Zi and Zheng Lu, and ask them to inquire if there is any movement today, and come back to see me quickly."

"Uh, yes." The little official rubbed his eyes, and when he saw Li Shangshu's white face in such a hurry, he didn't dare to delay, so he hurriedly picked up the hem of his clothes and ran out.

However, before he could relax his mind, Zheng Lu, who was one of Li Shangshu's henchmen, hurried over by himself.

Zheng Lu is the most powerful subordinate of Li Shangshu in the Ministry of Rites except for Shen Zi, and he has a good grasp of any festivals, banquets and travels. It was only because of Li Shangshu's selfishness that he had always succumbed to Shen Zi.

However, his heart was too simple, thinking that he was old, so he never complained, and because his son was a gambler, he was angry with Mrs. Zheng, and most of his family property was used to fill gambling debts.

At this moment, Zheng Lu was staggering and ran over with an anxious face, making Li Shangshu's uneasiness completely turn into reality at this moment.

"My lord is not good, I don't know where Lord Lin of the Ministry of Officials got the news, and he actually found out that Shen Zhengling killed a Qinglou Qingqi two years ago, and now Lord Lin has taken Lord Xiao to collect evidence, and even the government decree has been imprisoned in the Criminal Department,"

"Your Excellency, you have to hurry up and get an idea, otherwise our Ministry of Rites will fall into the hands of the Ministry of Officials." Zheng Lu is also over half a hundred years old in the end, and the Huafa on his head has already passed the green silk, running two steps, and he can't breathe after saying a few more words.

"What? How can it be? Li Shangshu was extremely shocked, leaning on the stone table with one hand to stabilize his figure, "At the beginning, I spent a lot of money to ask Duke Pingcheng to intercede with the Criminal Department for me, and then released him, and the files should have been destroyed, how could anyone know?" ”

"That Duke of Pingcheng has an empty title, and he has been languishing since he broke his leg, if he promises, how can the lord believe it?" Zheng Lu didn't think of anything else for a while, but he only felt that this one was more likely.

"How dare he fool me!" Li Shangshu slammed his fist on the table, and at this time, the little official who had just run out hurriedly turned back.

"Big, my lord, it's not good, Lord Lin of the Ministry of Officials, they ......"

"Got it, Shen Zi has been arrested, you can step back quickly, the official is worried in his heart." Li Shangshu was upset, but he only thought that the little official was talking about this thing, but he saw him waving his hand again and again.

"No, it was Lord Lin who came over with Lord Xiao and said that he wanted to investigate the details of all the personnel of our Ministry of Rites."

"It's not good, Xiao Huai'an is going to borrow Lin Weiyong's hand to find out the person who made up the wrong road map before." When the words landed, Lin Shangshu's brain turned quickly, and he suddenly thought of this possibility.

"Wouldn't the lord be impeached? My lord, it's better to be like this, Shen Zhengling can't be saved, otherwise you can push it on Shen Zhengling. At this point, Zheng Lu was still thinking about Li Shangshu wholeheartedly, but looking at Li Shangshu's expression, he didn't have this plan.

"That's not necessarily, after all, it was two years ago, even if someone comes out to identify Shen Zi, there is no evidence, they can't do anything to him." Li Shangshu said, and suddenly turned his gaze to Zheng Lu's body.

"Zheng Lu, this official has treated you well for many years, and today is the time for you to show your loyalty to this official."

In the lobby, in addition to Lin Weiyong and Xiao Huai'an, Su Zhongshi, who is the servant of the ministry, also needs to appear on this occasion. After all, it is impossible for Shangshu to do such rough work as checking and arresting people one by one.

However, because Su Lian married Xu Rulie as a concubine, Su Zhongshi naturally fell under Xu Rulie's command.

And the officials of the DPRK and China all know that Li Shangshu has always supported Xu Rulie, so Su Zhongshi will inevitably feel a little embarrassed and even more worried on this occasion, and he doesn't know how to protect Li Shangshu.

"Lin Shangshu and Lord Xiao came to the Ministry of Rites to inspect, why don't you hurry up and invite Li Shangshu out."

A few people sat in this hall for a while, Xiao Huai'an was calm, Lin Weiyong was also a person who was good at taoguang and obscurity, neither of them was in a hurry, but Su Zhongshi felt worried.

"Master Su doesn't need to be in a hurry, maybe Li Shangshu is just like last time, there are trivial matters to deal with in the back, Lord Su might as well sit down and wait quietly."

Xiao Huai'an married Su Jiao, and it was inconvenient to say anything about Su Zhongshi in terms of seniority, so Lin Weiyong could just do it for him, and he also made himself feel like he was in charge in front of so many people.

It was also the last time that Li Shangshu's attitude towards Xiao Huai'an was really famous, so Lin Weiyong's ridicule here, although he was not talking about himself, also made Su Zhongshi feel embarrassed.

Su Zhongshi closed his mouth and came back to sit down, and it was at this time that Li Shangshu was late.

"I didn't expect a few adults to come so together today, the official has some trivial matters to deal with in the back, I never thought it was late, the hospitality was not good, and I ask for a few forgiveness."

As soon as he saw Li Shangshu's appearance, everyone knew that he must be thinking of some countermeasures in the back, but he didn't hear what he said just now, and then he said this, which made the three people present feel a little weird.

Li Shangshu's smile froze, and he always felt that the atmosphere at this time was a little weird, and he couldn't help but ask, "Didn't you come here today to investigate, do you already have the results?" ”

"Master Li hasn't shown up yet, how can we find out? However, someone revealed the news, and we found a man with a beast's heart. ”

Lin Weiyong had a handle in his hand, and Li Shangshu also looked arrogant in front of him, Li Shangshu lowered his eyes slightly, and was noncommittal to his posture.

"Actually, you can't completely blame him for what this person committed, after all, that person committed suicide, but the family background of the person in the Ministry of Rites should be innocent, and if a person with bad conduct like this is discovered by His Majesty or outsiders, wouldn't it be a joke that no one in my dynasty is ridiculed."

Li Shangshu listened to Lin Weiyong's words at the beginning, and thought that he was going to raise his noble hand, but who would have thought that there would be deeper sarcasm in the back, which made his face a little gloomy.

"Therefore, Lin Shangshu deliberately found the official to come over and asked the Ministry of Rites to be inspected up and down, in order to prevent this kind of person from appearing again, didn't Li Daren say that someone had made a mistake in the road map, just take this opportunity to clean up this kind of person who left his post without permission, wouldn't it be clean."

Shen Zi's matter was stabbed, which was not expected by Xiao Huai'an, but the final result should be more exciting than he thought, and it can be regarded as a very good deal.

"Lord Xiao is joking, Shen Zi's matter is still inconclusive, let's just say that this person who left his post without permission, the official just got the news, who really did something wrong, and who is willing to admit it?"

Li Shangshu sneered in his heart, and while thinking about countermeasures, he noticed Su Zhongshi who was standing aside without saying a word.

"This can only depend on whether Master Li cooperates, let's quietly solve it for you and me, otherwise if it really makes trouble in the Jinluan Palace, how Your Majesty will react, this official doesn't know."

Lin Weiyong gestured with his hand, and his face looked like he was thinking about Li Shangshu, but in fact, it was more sneering.

"Cooperate with the official, but Shen Zi is my original wife's cousin, and as a decree of the Ministry of Rites, these things that have been prepared recently are inseparable from his help, and the official is anxious about his affairs, so it will be difficult to help Lord Lin with anything?"

Saying that, Li Shangshu sighed faintly, Lin Weiyong looked at his attitude, almost angry, "What, what do you mean by this, for the sake of your original wife and brother, are you going to threaten me?" ”

"Daze's laws are there, how dare this official, Lord Lin can investigate how he wants." Li Shang said that he was very innocent, and he spread his hands, completely looking like you were looking at it.

Seeing that Lin Weiyong was about to lose his cool because of his anger, Xiao Huai'an hurriedly reminded, "Lord Lin, calm down first, and only then can you reverse the situation when you get evidence." ”

"What Lord Xiao said is yes, not to mention that we don't have any evidence in Shen's decree, we can punish him for his crimes, Lord Lin might as well take a step back first." Hearing this, Su Zhongshi also hurriedly pulled him.

Lin Weiyong had no choice, and flicked his sleeves angrily, "The official knows, the official will discuss the matter of the decree with Lord Jin of the Criminal Department, and as for the files of the Ministry of Rites, Lord Su will ask you to check for the official." ”
