() The fog outside the house had not yet dissipated, and the morning light could not be seen, and the whole city looked bleak and gloomy.

The meeting hall was quiet for a long time, but the tea in the celadon tea cup was already cold.

One of them sat upright, their jaws calm, their eyes glaring; A face is humble, but under the thick eyelashes there is a cold and indifferent unyielding color.

"I'll only ask you once, does this case have anything to do with you?"

Bai Zhou used the word 'I', instead of using his official position to press him, he hoped that Ji Yunli would be able to tell the truth at this moment. Ji Yunli has always been rigorous in his work, and he is determined to investigate the case and use some means, how can he not get any clues at all, unless he doesn't want to.

Ji Yunli's handsome face showed a trace of confusion and entanglement, his sword eyebrows were lowered, and he shook his head lightly and replied: "My lord, why did this case get involved with me?" How can I have that kind of ability, and what am I trying to do? Is it a good way to add some blockage to adults? Or self-destructing the future? ”

It doesn't make sense, but the prisoner died after seeing him, which is too much of a coincidence, and the suspicion is not small.

The Inspector is not a vegetarian.

"Ji Yunli, are you not satisfied with surviving all these years? Or have you already thought about following the old path of Ji Pingsheng?! Bai Zhou suddenly suppressed his voice, and there was a thin sneer on his face. He deliberately bit the name that had long been forgotten between his teeth, and there was a certain disappointment in his eyes, and he scraped Ji Yunli's face with a good look.

Ji Pingsheng, the former lieutenant, was once powerful and powerful in the Privy Council, but this person was nepotistic, wantonly amassed wealth, and was filial piety. Ten years ago, the case of greedy ink and food was a sensation in the imperial capital.

Later, he was unfortunately targeted by the regent Shen Xiao, removed from his post and investigated, and was sent to the border to serve as a conscript......

A family history full of holes, how can it not make people angry when it is not mentioned coldly. Ji Yunli's face froze, turning from green to white, his white and slender hands were hidden in his wide sleeves, secretly bending his fingers and clenching his palms into fists, sliding between his throats, and a wisp of fire ignited under his clear eyes.

Generally speaking, it is natural to be annoyed and angry when this kind of thing is exposed. Ke Bai Zhou was indeed angry, he didn't want Ji Yunli, who was rescued back then, to rush to find death. Knowing the law and breaking the law does not need to be passed from father to son.

I think Bai Zhou was young when he was young, and he was also a noble son who was used to being presumptuous in the capital, and he saw many people who chose high branches to fly up, but most of the endings were not good.

Therefore, Bai Zhou was kindly advising Ji Yunli not to take the wrong path.

People will not repent because of your righteous and awe-inspiring education, but it is easier to hold a grudge against you because of it.

Ji Yunli had already lowered his head, adjusted the anger surging in his chest, and the anger in his eyes dimmed.

"Adults can listen to me tell a story before judging whether it is true or not."

If Bai Zhou vaguely thought that Ji Yunli was involved in the autumn test fraud case, the direction was right, but the details he was told next were really shocking.

"My lord also knows that the papers for my autumn examination have always been in charge of the Ministry of Rites, which are placed in wooden boxes and then sealed with wax and then distributed to various states and cities...... Therefore, if there is a fraud case, the idea of ordinary people to investigate the case must be that Lu Yunding bribed the examiner in advance and stole the test questions. ”

Bai Zhou thought so, but groaned, and only raised his eyebrows.

Ji Yunli didn't raise his eyes, and continued to say leisurely: "Actually, it's not, this story starts with a certain Confucian in the capital......

A senior official in the court invited Shang Shutancheng of the Ministry of Rites to be a guest, but when he arrived in the house, he was led to sit in the study. The study looks clean but not poor, expensive but not luxurious. Tan Cheng has always been a good vassal and elegant, and he began to play with things when he was itchy. He saw a piece of rice paper on the bookcase, and it had only been written for a short time, so his handwriting had not yet dried. The ink writing is vigorous, and the short essays are more interesting.

Tan Cheng watched for a while and sighed, sat for a while and never saw the master, and began to feel a little uncomfortable and a little confused because of the cold.

- What do you mean, call people to be guests, and you can't even serve tea?

When he was impetuous, the big official was late.

The big official deserves to be a big official, his eyes only glanced at Tan Cheng a few times, and with a wave of his hand, he told people to sit down and not have to salute.

Tan Cheng was a little unsteady. The senior official asked him slowly: How many strokes did the old man write, can you read it?

That Tan Cheng didn't dare to answer blindly, so he said: Look at it, look at it, the words are really good.

The official looked at him with some contempt and asked, "You can see this?"

Tan Cheng didn't know why, and said worriedly: Oh yes, the text is just right.

The big official laughed, and he laughed so hard that he was stunned.

People said: Then you say, does it match the proposition of this year's autumn exam?

Tan Cheng suddenly understood, and was so frightened that he knelt on the ground. Is this forcing him to change the exam questions to this? But how could he have the right to say no, so he naturally agreed under pressure...... Later, the senior official gave the exam questions to Ji Yunli, and then there was Lu Yun's affair.

After Ji Yunli finished speaking, he sighed lightly, his eyes raised, and he looked at Bai Zhou with some ill-intentioned smile: "My lord, do you want to know, who is that big official?" ”

Bai Zhou's heart sank when he heard this, and then looked at Ji Yunli's posture, as if he had dug a trap, and told you clearly, tell yourself whether to jump or not.

He saved Ji Yunli's life back then, and after getting along, he also knew that he was deep in thought. No, he put this thought into himself.

Bai Zhou frowned and said firmly: "You might as well say it if you have something, you don't have to hide it." The implication in this case is profound and widespread, and the official has his own decision. ”

He was tired of seeing the desolation behind the glitz, so he vowed to be a fair official.

Ji Yunli looked at him coldly, as if he wanted to see something from him, and he had to bend and say: "You have a good father, the old man, he misses you home." ”

Father? Done?

Bai Zhou's eyes were in a trance: Ji Yunli didn't need to lie to him. Therefore, the official is referring to Bai Wen.

But why did my father do this? Bai Zhou really couldn't figure it out.

There was a puff of air across his chest, and his fingertips trembled slightly. Twisting his eyebrows, he slapped his palm on the case, and the teacup rolled to the edge of the table, but it didn't fall.

Ji Yunli's dark eyes had a smile. He wants to see how a person like Bai Zhou thinks of his father.

After about a long time, Bai Zhou's throat moved, and he took a deep breath and said, "I didn't want you to do something for my Bai family...... Why should you contact him? ”

Ji Yunli was sarcastic in his heart, and said with some loneliness and envy on his face: "Don't be angry, my lord, Yunli is just a dead man on the official policy now, just like a salted fish that can't turn over the big waves." The old man has been contacting me just to know the situation of the adults. ”

Bai Zhou stared at him, seeing what other shocking words he was going to say.

"The old man misses his son very much, just like this, it's just that he just got down in order to force the adults back to the capital. From the beginning, I didn't want to hide it from adults. ”
