The next day, in the duty room of the Criminal Department, Huang sat opposite Wang Youde, squinting his eyes

"Your Majesty asked me to ask, how is the trial of Guan Shangshu's case and General Huang's case?"

Wang Youde was a little nervous and said: "It's still under trial, it's just evidence... ”

As for the case in the Kansai Sea, give an explanation as soon as possible. He confronted His Majesty, and he was disrespectful, which was always watched by several dignitaries of the imperial court. ”

The reason why Wang Youde was not sentenced was because he was afraid of criticism from his colleagues in the DPRK and China, and now Huang came to talk to him again, and if the case is not closed, it is estimated that it will be handed over to the internal guards. After that, if you don't do a good job, a lot of things will be handed over to the internal guard, so is the criminal department still the criminal department?

After considering many things, Wang Youde said truthfully

Guan Xihai said bluntly, but the words were too sharp, and our criminal department meant to cut officials and remove them from the ranks, and demote them to commoners. As for General Huang's collaboration with the enemy, although there is no evidence, he is mainly responsible for the defeat in Hexi, and I discussed it with Lu Shilang of the military department. He meant to kill, and I think he had to kill. ”

"I will report the situation in the Guanxi Sea to Your Majesty, you said that you all have to kill scalpers?" Huang was shocked.

He came today, but he received the news from the internal guard, someone wanted to die, and that person was Su Daosan's person. Think about it, once the scalpers get rid of their crimes, the pot of defeat will be borne by Su Daosan and Qian Ming, which is obviously that they are like the scalpers who have committed the crime of collaborating with the enemy and betraying the country to protect themselves. The more this is the case, the more the scalper should be protected.

Wang Youde looked at Huang Ke's eyes and knew that he didn't seem to be satisfied with this result.

"Huang Gong, could it be that Your Majesty is concerned about this result?"

Huang shook his hand: "Your Majesty is just waiting for the result." ”

Wang Youde's eyes rolled: "Then please publicize it." ”

Huang shook his head: "I am in charge of internal security, and the two of us are not under control." Blame me for asking more, blame me for asking more. ”

"Don't dare, don't dare!" Wang Youde was very curious about Huang giving face today, you are polite, I am also polite, and continued: "Since there is no evidence, it is better to... It's better to play before the North Plains Longquan Guan formation. ”

Sure enough, when Huang heard this result, he nodded with satisfaction: "That means that one is demoted to the common people, and the other is in front of the army! ”

"There is labor, there is labor!" Wang Youde sent Huang Ke away, relieved, the case was finally closed. This result is not bad, he is an official in the same dynasty as Guan Xihai and scalpers. Although he himself is not a clean official, he will inevitably die of sorrow if he looks at the loyal ministers and righteous people.

"Perhaps, this is a good result. Wang Youde muttered to himself, he was already preparing to write a report on the closure of the case, if the emperor did not have any special will, everything would be settled today.

On the other end, Li Chi looked at the case file sent by the Criminal Department and Huang Qi's report, and nodded, the case has reached this point, and it is almost time to close. If it drags on any longer, it's not like a word.

As for the five thousand light horsemen brought by the ox, they were directly incorporated into the army of Fengcheng Mansion. At this point, the war in Hexi came to an end.

On the afternoon of the second day, Chi Changqing received the results of the trial of Guan Xihai and the scalper, and he succeeded. He gambled right, put it to death and survived, and the two finally survived. One more Vitality Seed, one more chance of winning in the future.

It's just that Su Daosan is very angry about this result, what is the difference between this and letting him go back to Beiyuan before the scalper is assigned to the army? Li You's entrapment this time is probably easier! No matter what the scalper says, he has quite a prestige in Beiyuan, and he will soon rise again.

In Shi Yunjie's house, Su Daosan complained

"Wang Youde, this guy, how can he be sentenced so lightly. ”

Shi Yunjie looked calm: "He also has pressure, this matter can't be blamed entirely on Wang Youde, the criminal department has never been so easy to do, and it is not easier to handle the severity than the person who plays the board in the internal guard." Besides, without their official positions, what kind of turmoil can the two of them make, this matter has been revealed. It's just that this time, a big flood in Shandong Province has made His Majesty sober up a lot, and recently, it is better for you and me to keep a low profile. In the future, this garden will rarely come, after all, Huang has many ears and eyes, and now the court and the central government are not monolithic. ”

Su Daosan listened to Shi Yunjie's tone, and always felt that this was not to comfort him, but to alienate him. Just muffled drinking. I thought to myself

"I, Su Daosan, have come to this day, but I don't just rely on you Shi Yunjie. If you don't come, you won't come, but some tonic beauties, I'm not rare. ”

Chi Changqing didn't know what happened between Su Daosan and Shi Yunjie, but judging from the intelligence, the relationship between the two seemed to have reached a critical point. Just adding a fire can cause the two to part ways, but this fire needs a good opportunity. He is a hunter, he calmed down and just did it, and now Chi Changqing is no longer Wang Rui in the past.

The relief in Shandong Province had just begun, and the white deacon of the Sword Sect had already come to the door with Chi Changqing's address. This time, it can be regarded as an informal contact with the officials of the capital, after all, the disaster is not an end for them, but a means to obtain benefits.

Looking at the neat rows of courtyards, Deacon Bai suddenly thought of something, and muttered to himself: "The former station of the Demon Dragoon is regarded as a forbidden place in the capital. Could it be that Chi Changqing is really a demon dragon rider, isn't it?"

At the door of Chi Changqing's house, two big men who didn't look good were standing, and they saw Deacon Bai and four Sword Sect disciples standing at the door immediately.

"Who's coming? ”

"Deacon of the Sword Sect, come to see Chi Changqing. ”

The two of them were stunned for a moment, and one of them said: "My master Chi instructed that if there are deacons from all major factions here, they can be directly introduced." ”

Deacon White smiled and walked straight into the courtyard. Looking around, the yard was clean and tidy, but the weapon shelves in the corner of the wall were already rotten.

"Mr. Chi. When Deacon Bai saw Chi Changqing, he just smiled slightly, and then looked around the room to look at the furnishings of the room, and there was nothing unusual in the entire room, except for the egg-sized natural spirit stone on the table.

Chi Changqing looked at Deacon Bai and said after he finished looking at it: "Deacon Bai is here, isn't it just to see Chi's burrow?"

Deacon Bai smiled: "I'm just curious about here, once this street was called the forbidden area of the capital." Oh, of course, the names given to us by the deacons, but I never thought about it, but now the master has changed. ”

Chi Changqing took the natural spirit stone and said casually: "Yes! I have also heard of this saying, in the past, the Demon Dragoon was so powerful that no one could respond to its edge. Do you know who the owner of this annex is?"

"Who?"

"Demon Dragoon Commander, Wang Rui. Chi Changqing said lightly.

Deacon Bai was stunned for a moment, looked at the surrounding furnishings and couldn't help but smile: "His yard is so simple?"

"Perhaps, something was taken away. I just arranged for me to live here, thinking that this place is remote and quiet, and it is also a good place to live. ”

Deacon Bai was even more curious about Chi Changqing: "It's your house now, and it's also very simple. After speaking, he looked at Chi Changqing's eyes, as if he wanted to discover something. However, the result disappointed him, and his eyes were calm and nothing else.

Chi Changqing just sighed: "This room is a little smaller, and I can't put the things in my heart." Deacon White, are you just here to see this courtyard?"

Deacon Bai sat down: "Of course, I'm not here just to see your courtyard, there is another matter, but I don't know if I can reach a consensus with my friends in the capital." ”

"Let's be blunt. ”

"Shandong Dao is now in great trouble, I think the Sword Sect should reach some kind of consensus with the imperial court. The financial resources of my Sword Sect are only enough to repair the embankment on the south bank of the Wugen River, and as for the north bank, I can only let it flow. ”

"Let it go?" Chi Changqing thought about it for a while, and then he knew what the Sword Sect was thinking.

"Yes! Unless. ”

"Unless what?"

White Deacon suddenly felt that he had found the feeling of talking to Zhou Zhe because of Chi Changqing's urgency. And Chi Changqing felt that he was too urgent. With two hands in his sleeves, he took out the black soul ring and put it on his hand. That's when my heart was settled.

"Unless, friends of the imperial court, can let go of the land sale in Shandong Province. My Sword Sect will naturally buy land in Shandong Province, and of course the tax will not be less. Since my Sword Sect has interests, then we are naturally obliged to maintain the embankment in the north section of the river without roots. You say, isn't it? They all say that they only sweep the snow in front of their own door, and don't ask others about the frost on the tiles. Since my Sword Sect is a famous and decent family in the world, given such conditions, it has already taken on the responsibility that a great sect should have. ”

Deacon Bai said with a righteous face, as if the Sword Sect had made many sacrifices.

Chi Changqing smiled slightly: "Deacon Bai's meaning, I will definitely convey it to Marquis Su." The Sword Sect is a famous family in the world, and the fearless spirit of self-sacrifice and self-sacrifice is indeed a model in the world. ”

Deacon Bai couldn't see the clue anymore, and it was even difficult to perceive Chi Changqing's mood swings, so he just raised his hand and smiled: "Awards, awards." Since our Sword Sect is a friend of the princes of the imperial court, then I still have an idea. ”

"Oh, but let the deacon know, and I'll tell you. ”

"Between friends, it is necessary to be mutually beneficial, if only my Sword Sect buys and sells land in Shandong Province, and friends in the DPRK and China are just waiting, it is not beautiful. This land is all prosperous, and everyone only owns it temporarily, and grows grain on it. I plant alone, so it's better for everyone to plant. Now that the people of Shandong Province are displaced, it is the time for us to carry forward benevolence, righteousness and love for the people, so it is better for everyone to take out money to buy land and plant it for those refugees who have no land, presumably, the people will also be grateful to Dade. ”

"Such a good deed, I will definitely convey it to my lord. Presumably, when the time comes, White Deacon will be able to see the results of everyone's efforts for the world. Chi thanked him again. Chi Changqing smiled deeply, and completely dispelled the suspicions of Deacon Bai.

The guests and hosts enjoyed themselves, and Chi Changqing only found out at this time that the logic of the major families was like this. I robbed you of your land, killed people and set fires, and then gave you the land to cultivate, and you have to thank me and be grateful to me.

"The world is like this, and we are out of place just because we were born into different classes. In terms of thinking, they all feel that they are right, and they all try their best to pursue their own interests, and in the end, there is a conflict. ”

Sending off the white deacon, Chi Changqing silently took out the chessboard, holding white in his left hand and black in his right hand. Sure enough, participating in a chess game and falling into the trap of fighting for one's own interests or one's own interest groups and watching the fire from the other side are two different concepts.

Zhou Zhe's defeat was due to his defeat from the perspective of the people and fighting for their interests. Since it is a chess game, there must be a winner or a loser. Under Qi Xin's layout, Zhou Zhe can win again and again, but he does not have the happiness and sense of accomplishment of the winner, so when he saw the text of the demon lord, his heart was broken, because he found that the game he was in was just a corner of the chessboard.

And he, Chi Changqing, has to do is to jump out of the chess game, regardless of victory or defeat.

wins, he is Chi Changqing, or Chi Changqing. If you lose, pass on the matter to the next generation of inheritors and continue to do it.
