In the seventeenth year of Tianze, Feng Yusheng, the emperor of Yuguo, in order to seek political clarity and harmony among the people, set up a Du Xing Division, which was intended to be a hundred officials and do what they did.

It is reported that the name of the director of the Duxing Division is Lian Qingjue. Although even Qingjue is just over twenty years old, he has thunderous means, but in just three years, he has investigated the corruption of Yu Guoda to a first-class important member and as small as a local county official, and therefore, although this Duxing Division has only been established for three years, no one in the government and the opposition dares to ignore its existence.

(1) First sight

"Lord Qiyu, after investigation, Prime Minister Cai Yong has taken bribes in a total of 137 houses, 32 beauties, 178 shops, although there is no specific value for gold and silver treasures, but if you think about it, it must be a lot."

"Yes."

Inside the spacious and warm house, the charcoal fire occasionally crackles. Lian Qingjue put down the half-read dossier and said.

"Prepare the car and enter the palace."

"Now?"

Fan Yao looked at the dark sky outside the window.

"On this day, it looks like it's going to snow, why don't you wait until tomorrow when the weather is good and then go?"

"It doesn't matter."

Stretched out his hand to take the cloak handed by the little servant, and Lian Qingjue tied it as he walked. Fan Yao saw that the son's mind had been decided, and he knew that it would be useless to persuade him, so he hurriedly ran out to arrange the carriage and horses.

……

"Your Majesty, Lord Lian is here."

"Haha, say Cao Cao Cao is here, let him in."

"Chenlian Qingjue see the emperor."

"Aiqing, hurry up and be polite."

In the Qinzheng Palace, Feng Yusheng was sitting behind the bookcase and looking at something, but as soon as he saw someone coming, he quickly got up and greeted him.

"I'm talking to Gu Qing about you, you're here."

"Gu Qing?"

Lian Qingjue raised his head, and then he saw that not far from him, there was a person standing in a dark red official uniform, but his whole body clearly revealed a clear and tall ...... Youngster.

"This lord, the minister seems to be ...... I haven't seen it. ”

"His name is Gu Caizhi, and he is the incoming secretary of the Criminal Department."

After Feng Yusheng finished speaking, he leaned closer to Lian Qingjue's ear and said softly: "He met by chance when I went out on patrol a few years ago, don't look at his young age, his views on state affairs are much more unique than those old ministers." ”

"Oh? Is it? ”

Lian Qingjue chuckled, turned to Gu Caizhi and said, "Master Gu." ”

"Even my lord."

Seeing that the emperor and Lian Qingjue were so close, although Gu Caizhi was a little surprised in his heart, he didn't move a little on his face, and just returned the salute to Lian Qingjue in a proper manner.

"By the way, Lian Qing came to me, what's the matter?"

Feng Yusheng sat back down on the bookcase and said.

"It's something that the emperor ordered the ministers a few days ago, and it's already eyebrow-raising."

"Oh?" Feng Yusheng glanced at Lian Qingjue and said, "But it's okay to say it." ”

"Yes."

Seeing that the emperor did not shy away from that Gu Caizhi at all, even Qing Jue did not scruple about it.

"There is evidence of Prime Minister Cai's corruption and bribery. But because Prime Minister Cai Cheng was the prime minister specially selected for you by the first emperor during his lifetime, so how to deal with it, the minister still has to come to you to ask for instructions. ”

"Hmph, I know that Cai Yong usually looks honest and loyal, and there must be some shady deeds behind his back."

Feng Yusheng was so angry that he couldn't help but reprimand.

"The emperor is angry."

"The emperor is angry."

"But that Cai Yong, after all, is the person that his father relied on very much, and in the past ten years, his power in the court has been intertwined and cannot be moved."

Feng Yusheng frowned, looked at the two people standing in front of the case, and said, "What is the opinion of the two Aiqing?" ”

"Weichen thinks that all the corrupt people should be eliminated, so as not to infringe on the foundation of the country. However, as the emperor said, Prime Minister Cai Cheng has been the prime minister for more than ten years, and there must be a lot of his henchmen, so it is better to start from the details and slowly figure it out. ”

"Well, Gu Qing is reasonable, what does Lian Qing think?"

"The minister also agrees with what Master Gu said, and should be slowly figured out."

Lian Qingjue glanced at the person beside him and said.

"Then Lianqing, I'll leave some things to you."

Feng Yusheng looked at the two of them and said with a smile: "The first time I discussed the matter, the two Aiqing saw something in the same way, so it can be seen that the two of you will work together in the future, and I will be more at ease." ”

"The minister will live up to the emperor's trust."

"The minister will live up to the emperor's trust."

Gu Caizhi looked at Lian Qingjue with a faint smile on his face, but for some reason he couldn't help but feel a chill in his heart.

……

"Brother, you're back."

"Well, aren't you on duty today?"

Back at Lian's Mansion, as soon as Lian Qingjue stepped into the room with his front foot, he saw his sister dressed in a short dress and walking towards him with a smile.

"A few days ago, I was on duty for Liu Antao, and today he will come to replace me."

Lian Qingwan said with a grin.

"Look at your outfit, are you going out?"

"Yes. A few days ago, I said okay, today I will go to Liu Tinglan's house to teach him archery. ”

"Hehe, you are interested in him, it's snowing, go early and come back early."

"Yes."

Lian Qingwan looked at the snowflakes falling sporadically in the sky and approached Lian Qingjue.

"Brother, it is said that today's newly appointed secretary of the Criminal Department is handsome and extraordinary, you just entered the palace, have you ever seen him?"

"Oh? Where did you hear about it? ”

Lian Qingjue said with a smile.

"It's not Liu Antao's house, there is a little wind and grass in the entire Qiluo City, and he is the first to know about it." Lian Qingwen grinned

"Have you ever seen him?" ”

"Yes."

Lian Qingjue held his hands.

"He looks handsome, but compared to your brother and me, it's still a little worse."

"Cut, I think it's better looking than you, you're jealous of others."

Even Qingwan rubbed her hands, and no longer joked with her brother, and said, "I'll go first." ”

"Well, our aunt is also a big girl, if you think it's appropriate, I'll find a good day and go to Liu's house to propose to you."

"Brother, what nonsense are you talking about!"

Lian Qingwan slapped Lian Qingjue's shoulder with a palm, and when she saw him frowning in pain, she laughed and disappeared into the courtyard at a trot.

"Oh, this girl."

Lian Qingjue shook his head, turned around and watched more and more snowflakes falling on the ground, but they disappeared in a blink of an eye, and the look in his eyes was like this sky, which was obscure and made people more and more indistinguishable.
