The wind blew exceptionally hard at night, and now that the weather was getting cooler, the faint meaning blew on the unprepared, which suddenly aroused a layer of goosebumps.

The breeze that came in through the crack in the window and the crack in the door playfully teased the candle by the window, blowing the candlelight flickering and flickering, reflecting the silhouette of the only two people in the room, which looked particularly terrifying.

The moon and stars in the sky outside are scarce, and the moon is so bright that all the stars lose their brilliance, which is not necessarily a good sign, just when it is ugly, the moon is hidden behind dark clouds blowing from nowhere, and since then darkness has covered the whole sky.

The darkness did not last long, when a gust of rain was heard in the distance, and beneath the cloud-covered area, there was a cacophony of trickling. The wanton and indulgent rain was occasionally interspersed with lightning and thunder, as if pitying the world, giving a moment of brightness.

A thunderbolt flashed, and an instantaneous bright light hit the face of Mrs. Li in the room. Mrs. Li sat sideways on the main seat, next to a row of windows, from which thunder shone in, illuminating only half of her face.

"Evidence?" The lady kept chanting these two words in her mouth, and the noisy sound outside did not affect her at all.

His face was extremely gloomy, and the grandmother standing opposite her felt a burst of pressure in his heart. Suddenly, Mrs. Li raised her head suddenly, and Mama took advantage of the situation to get a few inches closer, and heard her whispered command.

"There is a person who Mama Lao buys for me, and it is best that this person is related to Yanliu Lane. The reason why I am afraid that the official will be arrested today is because that incident was exposed. Mrs. Li gritted her teeth, her voice was extremely gentle, but her tone was particularly vicious.

"In short, no matter what method is used, the officials must come out. Anyway, I've already had a lot of things on my hands that I can't hold my conscience on, and I don't mind having one more. ”

"Yes, the old slave knows." Mama nodded, lowered her eyes, and saw that Mrs. Li had such a serious look, and she couldn't help but sigh in her heart.

No matter how hard your lady is, once something happens, the lady still cares so much about Li Wensong.

Mama stepped back in response and asked someone to organize the matter, leaving Mrs. Li alone in the room. Before Mama left, she tried every means to persuade her to rest early, but the struggle between the thunderstorms and wind power outside was so "full of gunsmoke", how could Mrs. Li sleep peacefully.

Due to her extremely depressed mood, Li Niangzi especially withdrew all her subordinates, so as not to be angry with them when she was angry. If she doesn't pay attention, the next day she will come out with bad news about her reputation, which will hurt her so many years of hard work.

In the empty room, only the breathing sound of Li Niangzi alone could be heard, and there was another thunderclap outside, and after the lightning flashed, there was a black shadow of another person in the room.

Li Niangzi was taken aback, thinking that it was Li Wensong, someone who offended on weekdays, and came to take revenge today, but after seeing this person's face clearly, she couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief.

The black shadow stopped when she was a few steps away from her, and Li Niangzi stood up and kept approaching the black shadow. When the distance was only one zhang away, Mrs. Li suddenly slapped her, and a loud voice echoed in the room.

Another flash of lightning passed, and I saw an extra slap mark on the black shadow's handsome face.

"Bastard, what the hell are you doing! Something so big happened to the official, and you haven't come here yet. Li Niangzi's anger continued to rise, and she cautiously lowered her voice, but this resentment continued to rise and fall in her chest.

"If you didn't protect the integrity of the officials, I won't talk about you, but you only appeared at this time, so you can't help but be too lax about the affairs of the officials! Don't forget who saved you from the sea of suffering. ”

The room was exceptionally quiet, with a "light rain" already falling on the eaves, and huge droplets of water hitting the stone steps with a ticking sound. Under the light of the candlelight in the room, the tall black shadow standing face to face with Mrs. Li was indeed Hua Shishi who had escaped from Yanliu Lane.

"The subordinates know their mistakes, and ask Mrs. to calm their anger," Hua Chushi felt ashamed and quickly knelt down. Li Wensong is as kind to him as a mountain, and he treats Li Wensong like his own father, so Li Niangzi is equivalent to his mother, so how dare he disrespect.

"This matter is indeed a dereliction of duty on the part of the subordinates, and the subordinates also want to do their part to rescue the adults, and please let the lady know, how is the situation of the adults now?"

"If it weren't for the high hopes of the officials, I wouldn't even want to look at you." Mrs. Li snorted coldly, then turned around and returned to her original position to sit, twisted the tea lid on the teacup with one hand, and gently brushed off the tea stalks on the water surface for a while.

"Obviously, I have my own children with adults, but I don't know why adults have to adopt you." Mrs. Li muttered, and suddenly her eyes lit up and she glared at her.

"But don't rely on the adult's love for you, just be so unscrupulous, remember your identity clearly, you will always be my son Pingye's subordinate."

"My subordinates understand." Hua Chushi didn't have much preference for fame and fortune, so she agreed very quickly, but it made her have doubts in her heart and kept silent about Li Wensong.

In the early morning of the next day, because of the heavy rain in the evening, the whole city was clean, that is, all the dust on the road was sticked into a ball, and the wet paved all the way, so that people could stick to a foot of mud and sand after a trip.

Today's rest, Su Jingye didn't have to go to the court, and he was worried about the big incident he heard in Yanliu Lane last night, so he specially came to the yamen of the capital to inquire about it.

In order to be free today, it happened to give Zhao Ming time to sort out the information well, and he would report to Su Yutian truthfully until tomorrow morning. It's just that the production is an ordinary case, and there is no need to put so much effort into it.

However, this time it involved so many officials in the imperial court, and after Su Yutian ascended the throne, the new law promulgated stipulated that court officials were not allowed to take the court, so as not to damage the majesty of the imperial court.

But even so, there are still many people who will secretly carry the past, but this was originally a tacit thing for everyone, but last night something went wrong and poked it out, and Zhao Ming was also embarrassed about how to deal with it.

Zhao Ming spread out on the desk, holding a brush stained with ink in his right hand, while also supporting his head. The ink on the tip of the pen quietly flowed down the barrel of the pen and a drop of ink flowed down, and seeing that he was about to stand on his hand and stain the official uniform, Zhao Ming put his hand down again.

Looking along the line of sight of the energetic Zhao Ming, I saw Su Jingye stepping on a mud spot on his trouser leg, walking in with his hands behind his back and his back straight. It's just that this simple walking posture, in the morning breeze with the cooperation, the clothes blowing are flying, and it also seems that his temperament is dusty and looks domineering.

Su Jingye walked in the door, and saw that Zhao Ming seemed to have a lot of emotions buried in his eyes, and before he could open his mouth to speak, Zhao Ming took the initiative to come out from behind the desk and greet him.

"Lord Wang, you are here, please help with this matter." Su Jingye was also present in Yanliu Lane last night, which means that he may have something to do with this matter, which is one of the reasons why Zhao Ming dared to ask him for help so bluntly.

"It's weird," Su Jingye Yile, "Isn't there a law there, Lord Zhao acts according to the rules, and after interrogating one by one, let go if there is no suspicion, but if it is involved, follow the process to investigate, what's so embarrassing?" ”

"Besides, this king came here today to make a record for Lord Zhao, so as to clear his suspicions, but Lord Zhao came to ask this king, wouldn't it make people suspect that it was unfair."

"But there are so many of them, I really don't know where to start." Zhao Ming let out a long sigh, he just saw so many names in the booklet, and he felt a headache.

"How many officials in the court are in the same spirit, and they move their whole bodies, I don't know where to start, if they directly offend a vote, then the life of the next official in the court will not be easy in the future."

"Although none of the senior officials like the first and second grades have been arrested, it is more difficult to deal with those talents who are about the same level as the lower officials."

Zhao Ming respectfully stretched out his hands and invited Su Jingye to sit down in place, and personally served him the tea sent by the little servant, which made Su Jingye a little flattered in the face of such a big change in him.

"It is said that 'grasshoppers can shake big trees' and 'embankments of thousands of miles collapse in anthills', and the officials directly come up to the front and withdraw if they want to, but they may stab you in the back, making people unable to prepare, and it is even more disgusting."

actually used the big tree and the causeway as his metaphor, and his perception was really a bit bold and unconventional. Su Jingye secretly slandered a few words in his heart, never thought that Zhao Ming would still have such a narcissistic side.

"Aren't you just afraid of stepping on a spider's web, and you don't know where to break it? In fact, there is no need for such trouble. Su Jingye waved his hand, seemingly not taking Zhao Ming's worries to heart at all.

"What should happen to this investigation and interrogation, Lord Zhao will do it, anyway, there is His Majesty behind you to support you, and those people just want to take revenge and have no name. What's more, when His Majesty may be able to remember a few court miscellaneous pieces and deal with them together, wouldn't Lord Zhao be more at ease? ”

"Isn't that back to square one?" Zhao Ming frowned, rubbing his hands under his sleeves uneasily, looking at his aggrieved expression, it was as uncomfortable as if his stomach was blocked.

"If Lord Zhao is still afraid, then there is still a way to go." Su Jingye squinted his eyes and glanced at his attitude of bullying the weak and fearing the hard, and he was very disdainful in his heart. Before leaving last night, I dared to make such a difficult prevarication, but this time I know how to ask for someone.

Zhao Ming was stunned, and he wanted to quibble with Su Jingye that he was not weak, but Su Jingye's later words made him have no time to care about this level at all, so he only widened his eyes and asked first.

"What the hell, please also ask the prince to give advice, and in return, the lower officials can borrow the four library books."
