Li Qingxian was silent and waited quietly.

"Mr. Gang Feng, has he ever worked with Xue Shangshu of the Household Department?" The king asked.

Li Qing was stunned for a moment, puzzled in his heart, Xue Ziliao of the household department is a top grade of the evil sect, his father is a monument of Wenxiu, and the two have not worked together, what does it mean to ask the king?

A big man of this status, it is not for nothing to ask this kind of thing.

Li Qingxian immediately recalled the words of the previous instigation of the king, almost clearly said that the night guard was short of money, and now he mentioned the book of the household, which must be related to money.

But what does it mean to mention your father?

Li Qingxian was silent for a long time, and said, "My ancestor didn't work with Xue Shangshu, and I have never seen Xue Shangshu. ”

"Oh......" The king's voice was lower than usual, and he added, "Do you have an old relationship with Feng Shilang?" ”

Li Qingxian immediately recalled the relevant officials of the household department.

The number one leader of the household department is Shangshu Xue Ziliao.

is not a partial book, and the next is Feng Tianlun, the left waiter, and Lu Kaizhao, the right waiter.

At that time, Tang Enxuan, the son of King Yuan, sent Pang Mingjing to harm him, and when he was trapped in front of Hubu Street, Zhou Chunfeng asked Feng Tianlun, the left waiter, to come forward.

However, Feng Tianlun did not take action in person, but sent his subordinate Xie Ming to help.

Afterwards, I heard that Zhou Chunfeng and Feng Tianlun had a mediocre relationship, and it was Zhou Chunfeng who asked another friend to help him so that Feng Tianlun came forward.

At that time, Luo Jing, who was helping himself on Hubu Street, took the door of Lu Kaizhao, the right attendant, and the two were both from the Nanxing faction.

Feng Tianlun is a member of the Radiance Sect.

His connections in the household department, including the previous cooperation in the winery, are also the way of Lu Shilang.

Li Qingxian immediately woke up, carefully recalled the Night Guard Mansion newspaper, and soon found that the content of the two waiters in the household department was there, but the content of Feng Shilang was more and more, and the information of Lu Kaizhao was less and less.

Coupled with the words of the king, the situation is already obvious.

Feng Tianlun gained power, and Lu Kaizhao lost power.

Li Qingxian said slowly: "I have only met Lu Shilang a few times. ”

The king sighed softly and said, "You also know that the night guard is constantly being retrenched, and even the originally strongest demon slayer division has been swept away, this night guard is becoming more and more difficult." A few days ago, after the household evaluation, God was really lively for a while, and I thought that you would return to Beijing at that time. Now, winter is coming, and the days of this divine capital are not easy again. ”

Li Qing said in his heart that the so-called liveliness refers to the new shortage of officials and the competition for official positions, and the seats have already been set.

The words of the king, one saying that the night guard was short of money, and the other saying that the night guard had no seat, seemed to be a euphemism to express his apology.

On the surface, the king meant that as long as he got money for the night guard, he would have the opportunity to arrange errands.

But in fact, the king is saying that someone is choking the economic lifeline of the night guard to threaten him against Li Qingxian.

No matter how much he coddles the king, he is also a second-rank member, no matter what, he is also the head of the night guard, and he can usually be cowardly, but others directly interfere in the appointment of the night guard, and he cannot be indifferent.

Therefore, he needs an excuse to interfere in this matter, and he needs Li Qingxian to solve the household department.

Li Qingxian understands that this is the other party's purpose of finding himself.

If you can't solve these things by yourself, then you can only hold the empty titles of deputy commander and patrol director, which is less than the real power in Qiyuan City.

The dignified night guard officer, there is no need to tell yourself this, this kind of thing needs to be understood by the people below.

But the king almost made his words clear, his position was obvious, he wanted to help, but he was powerless.

Li Qingxian said: "The teachings of the guard envoy are remembered by the lower officials. It's just that Xia Guan has been presiding over Qiyuan City a few years ago, and he has worked hard and delayed his practice. During this time, since the night guard was not busy, I just took time to cultivate. As you know, it's only been a little over a year since I was promoted to the sixth grade, and I just happened to study the situation. The situation is the only way to go through the middle grade, and it takes a long time to practice. By the way, do you know anyone from the Heavenly Power Sect? I want to buy some books from the Heavenly Power Sect. ”

The king said: "I am a rough person, where do I know the masters of the Tianshi Sect." If you have time, you can go to the Black Light Division to take a look, they may be familiar with the Tianshi Sect. ”

"Okay, then I'll go find Guo Xiang."

The hall was silent, and the king squinted, as if snoring.

Li Qingxian ate another handful of big cherries and said goodbye to the king.

Watching Li Qingxian's figure disappear into the courtyard, the king sighed.

"Disturb my appetite." After the king finished speaking, as soon as he stretched out his hand, Li Qingxian's remaining three and a half pots of fruit flew in front of him, he grabbed it with his big hand, chewed it heavily, and the juice splashed everywhere.

Li Qingxian thought about the words of Zhang Fugui and Wang before, and basically clarified the approximation.

Then, Li Qingxian shook his head, his face was as usual.

When I walked to the door of the Spring Breeze House, I saw many night guard acquaintances smiling and ushering.

"Congratulations to Hou Ye Li!"

"Deputy Commander Li!"

"Congratulations to Lord Zhou on his promotion to the top grade."

"Soon after, I have to call Zhou Hou."

Most of these people are in green clothes, and there are also three scarlet clothes.

Headed by Li Qingxian's old boss He Lei, after greetings, he walked into the Spring Breeze House with Li Qingxian.

"You may be seated." Li Qing said leisurely.

Sixteen people glanced at Zhou He, who was standing, and looked at the six chairs, motionless.

Li Qingxian said: "Let's go to the courtyard to talk." ”

Everyone returned to the courtyard, their eyes swept over the red maple trees.

Walking to the lotus pond in the courtyard, Li Qingxian glanced at everyone.

There were many old subordinates of Zhou Chunfeng back then, but there are very few today.

Some of them are not even impressed.

I'm a little more impressed now.

Everyone first talked about the weather, the river guards, and the Shendu.

In the end, He Lei said: "Hou Ye Li, you go back to the capital, I think it is better to choose a day than to hit the day, please go to Huahailou today to have a glass of wine and talk together." To be honest, we don't usually go to that kind of big place, just to get your light. ”

Li Qingxian asked calmly: "You don't know? ”

"Know what?" Everyone looked at Li Qingxian.

"Just now, the guard envoy came to me and said that the night guard was cutting his position, and there was no way to arrange it for me for the time being. I'm really idle. Li Qing sighed and looked up at the big willow tree outside the wall.

The crowd looked at each other and fell silent.

He Lei smiled and said, "What position do you hold, and what does it have to do with dinner tonight?" We just feel like we haven't seen each other for a long time, so let's have a meal together and congratulate you on your enthronement. You say yes, right? ”

"Of course, it's irrelevant."

"Just a meal and a drink."

Everyone smiled.

Li Qingxian nodded and said, "I'm really idle this time, since you have invited, I will definitely go to the banquet today." ”

The crowd chatted for a while, and then left in twos and threes.

He Lei said goodbye to Li Qingxian and walked back with three good subordinate colleagues.

Away from the Spring Breeze House, one person said in a low voice: "It seems that the King of Chu has done it." ”

"Yes, I've heard the wind before."

"Have you heard? I heard that Ye Han was going back to the patrol department and served as the secretary of the capital. Lord Song Yanxue resolutely objected, and the guard envoy did not make up his mind. This matter has not yet been decided. ”

"This Ye Han, it's really not ordinary, who would have thought of leaving the night guard, promoted to the sixth rank in just a few years, and also entered the eyes of the King of Chu."
