While they were chatting, Ye Yun appeared at the door and said softly, "My lord, Long Ritian, the deputy minister of finance, asks to see you." ”

"Oh, why is he here at this time, he is a guest, please come up. Duke Xingqi waved his hand and said.

"Yes. ”

Bei Ming looked at the time, it was almost 11 o'clock in the evening, and he thought to himself, could it be that he came to the door to find fault? After all, his son was blown up in front of him today, and if the Seventh Prince encouraged him, it was very likely that he would come to the door.

"Father, I'll go back to the room first, Long Ritian came here so late probably to talk to you about some serious business, so I won't make a mess. Beiming stood up and said.

Duke Xingqi waved his hand to stop him and said, "It's okay, the things that come to talk at home are all private matters, and he will go to my office for official business, since it is a private matter, you don't have to avoid it." ”

"This.... Not so good. ”

"It's okay, isn't it just that I got into a fight with his son today, and besides, his son died of magic, and I don't know how many pounds and taels you have? How can you use magic to kill people? It's okay, stay here." Duke Xingqi took a sip of wine and said. What happened in the Holy Capital naturally couldn't be concealed from the intelligence leader of the Duke of Xingqi.

"Okay. Beiming sat down again. It's not that he's afraid, it's mainly that he's troublesome, in case Long Ritian is bewitched by the Seventh Prince, it's too troublesome.

After a while, Long Ritian came in, and his expression was very haggard, and he didn't have the majesty of seeing him during the day today.

After Long Ritian sat down, Ye Yun poured him a glass of wine, Duke Xingqi waved his hand to let Ye Yun leave, and then Duke Xingqi said with a smile: "I didn't make tea or anything, it just so happened that the two of us were chatting and drinking here, so you will drink some of it." ”

As soon as he heard the Duke of Xingqi say this, Long Ritian immediately squeezed out a smile and said, "You are polite Duke Xingqi, I can do anything." ”

"Don't worry, seeing that you are panting so much, you drink some wine first to stabilize your mind, and say something slowly. Duke Xingqi said with a smile still on his face.

"This.... Okay, okay...."Long Ritian still smiled reluctantly, then looked left and right, and didn't drink with a wine glass there.

The Duke of Xingqi saw his concern and said, "Don't worry, I'm absolutely safe, if I'm not safe, there will be no safe place in the entire Holy Capital." ”

"Ah, no, no...."Long Ritian immediately waved his hand and said.

"As for Beiming. Duke Xingqi pointed at Bei Ming and said, "Don't doubt him, he will definitely enter the official career in the future, and I often tell him some things about officialdom." ”

Bei Ming kept looking at Long Ritian and didn't speak, he always felt that Long Ritian definitely had something big to say.

Long Ritian was silent for two seconds, as if he had suddenly made up his mind, drank all the wine in the cup in one gulp, and then knelt down directly and said, "Duke Xingqi, please save me!"

Beiming was stunned, thinking that he would come to complain, who knew that he would give a big gift when he came, and Beiming was inexplicable about this matter.

The Duke of Xingqi was not a little surprised, not a little surprised, I don't know what he thinks in his heart, anyway, he can't see it on the surface, he just said lightly: "Get up, you have to let me know the cause and effect so that I can know how to help you." ”

Duke Xingqi's words gave him a peace of mind pill, and although he didn't promise to help, there was still hope.

Long Ritian nodded, got up from the ground and sat down and said, "My son died today, don't get me wrong, I didn't blame Young Master Beiming, they warned me a long time ago, I didn't take it seriously....."

Duke Xingqi lit a cigarette and listened to him quietly.

"Here's the thing, a month ago, I found an account from the state treasury that it was for the maintenance of building materials, and I didn't think much about it at the time, and then I realized that there was a big project going on in the city. At that time, I felt that something was wrong, and I saw that the grantor on it was Secretary Adams, so I didn't say anything. Long Ritian said and took a sip of water.

"Then I followed this and found out that the money went into the town hall and then into the Les Gate Temple..... At that time, I didn't dare to check it, so I stopped in time. After waiting for about half a month, a master came directly into my house and warned me to hand over the evidence of the money I found, but.... I really haven't found anything!!!" Long Ritian was about to cry as he spoke.

"Then there is the inexplicable tragic death of my son today, and I feel that they did it! So I have been thinking about it for a long time today, and I can only ask you to help me. Long Ritian said helplessly.

The Duke scratched his head with his little finger and said, "It can be said that you have indeed made some people think that you are a threat to them, but how can I help you? There is no conclusive evidence for this kind of thing, if there is evidence, it is easy to say, but ....."

"I know it's like my imagination is too rich, but.... I really can't help it, I believe they are ready to get rid of me!"

"I know, it's obvious. The Duke of the Star Barrier nodded and said, "Who do you suspect?"

"I.... I..."

Duke Xingqi looked at him and said directly: "According to what you said, they can kill you at will, don't you dare to say who you suspect?"

"Sixth Prince!Zhongli Hongzhen!" Long Ritian said with a heartbeat.

The Duke of Xingqi extinguished the smoke and said, "Tell me the reason." ”

"The Minister of Finance, Adams, is the teacher of the Six Princes, and I suspect that the final mastermind is the Six Princes!

Duke Xingqi took a sip of wine and said, "It makes sense, but it's too obvious, I don't think it's him." ”

"That.... Who is it?" asked Long Ritian.

"I don't know, I still have to think about it. Duke Xingqi said directly.

"Huh?" Long Ritian obviously didn't expect Duke Xingqi to reply so directly.

"I am not a man of God, and I do not know all the things that are going on in the Holy Capital. The Duke of the Star Diaphragm lit another cigarette and said, "I'm telling you so now, you came to me..... You go to the police department, tell Tu Yongchun all your suspicions, and he will make sure you're okay. ”

"But the Duke of the Diaphragm..."Long Ritian could see that the Duke of the Diaphragm did not intend to take this matter.

"I'm sorry. Duke Xingqi shook his head, "You really found the wrong person this time, you can meddle in anything if you are not an official, in this case, I will die quickly!" What he said is not wrong at all, no country is allowed to have a minister who is arrested, and they are all in charge of their own piece, after all, the lessons of the powerful ministers of the Qianxia Kingdom are still there.

"But..."Long Ritian didn't understand when he heard Duke Xingqi say this, he really found the wrong person, but he still wanted to struggle a little more, hoping that Duke Xingqi could help.

"It's already very dangerous for you to come to me, now only the police department can protect you! Since you came, I can't let you come in vain, I'll tell you a way to save your life!" said Duke Xingqi.

Long Ritian's eyes lit up as soon as he heard that he could save his life, stood up and said, "Please also ask the Duke to make it clear." ”

"When you get out of the gate, you will immediately scold, saying that I am protecting my shortcomings, saying that I am protecting the murderer of your son! Duke Xingqi took a puff of his cigarette and said, "Then someone will press you to send you to the police department, and I will arrange for Tu Yongchun to see you, you will not die." ”

Long Ritian said suspiciously: "Why do I have to work so hard to go to the police department? My guards are all at the door, and they are protecting me.... I still have no problem going to the police department. ”

The Duke shook his head and said, "You said they were ready to kill you, so trust your own feelings! Think about it, why didn't they do it? That's because killing you on the street caused a bit of a big sensation! The police department here is very densely guarded, and it is better to kill you on the street than to kill you at your house." However, if they see that you are going in the direction of the pickets, they will definitely kill you by any means!"

"Then I...."Long Ritian now doesn't know if what Duke Xingqi said is ignored, and he has already been said to be blind.

"Go, do as I say, aren't you looking for me just to save your life?" said the Duke of the Starcaster.

Long Ritian took a deep breath, bowed and said, "Then I thank Duke Xingqi!"

"Well, go ahead, sing one more play, and you'll be safe. ”

After Long Ritian left, the Duke of Xingqi called Ye Yun and let Ye Yun go out after instructing.

Bei Ming watched Ye Yun leave and asked puzzledly: "Father, since you don't plan to help him, why did you go to such great lengths to keep him going to the police department?"

Duke Xingqi picked up his wine glass and said: "Whether what he said is true or not, if he is allowed to go to the police department by himself, who will die on the way?" The deputy minister of finance left Beichen Mansion in the middle of the night, and then was assassinated on the street, even if he knew that it was not done by Beichen Mansion, but this also caused himself a lot of trouble, why bother." ”

"Oh, I see. Bei Ming nodded and said.

-------------------------------------

In a corner not far from Beichen Mansion in the holy capital, a group of people wearing night clothes, motionless, the leader of the person used eagle eye to see Long Ritian being pushed out of Beichen Mansion, and then Long Ritian pointed to the gate of Beichen Mansion and began to scold, and let his subordinates prepare to attack, and then Ye Yun, the head of the guard of Beichen Mansion, came out and cleaned up all those Long Ritian's subordinates, and then drove towards the police department with a team of Beichen Mansion guards.

This person gritted his teeth, knowing that he had no way to fight with Beichen Mansion, so he could only make a gesture of retreat helplessly.....
