On the right side, Lin Jiulang didn't know that the person he sent to investigate the case was actually detained by Li Bi, he definitely couldn't imagine that Li Bi, a young boy, was so bold.

At this time, he was still thinking about how to confirm the prince's charges and how to bring down Jing'ansi. Taking advantage of the evening meal, he chatted with Jiwen at the dinner table. In ancient times, it was not three meals a day, but also looked at the material level of regional customs and habits of the dynasty, at this time, the Tang Dynasty folk retained the custom of two meals in the morning and evening, but the rich and noble people had three meals a day, or even four meals, and so on. An evening eclipse is the meal that is eaten before sunset.

Looking at the delicious food on the table, Ji Wen had a great appetite, ran all day without water and rice, and was already hungry, and was finally rewarded by the right side for dinner, which was worth it!

As soon as he picked up the chopsticks, he hadn't caught the dish yet, and the right minister asked: "Ji Wen, who founded the big case of Jing'an Division?" He Jian reported to the imperial court several times, saying that this technique is miraculous and can assist the saint in managing the affairs of the world. ”

Ji Wen hurriedly put down his chopsticks and replied respectfully: "The big case technique is an original creation called Xu Bin. It is said that according to the various figures recorded in the files and cases of the Tang Dynasty, we can accurately deduce the truth and predict the future. ”

Right Prime Minister Lin Jiulang paced back and forth, silent, and Ji Wen looked down at the dish.

"It can't be some charlatan, right?" The right minister asked again.

Ji Wen could only reluctantly look away, "This Xu Bin, the character Youde, used to be a book in the household department, and he has a good memory. He was the first batch of personnel to be mobilized by the Jing'an Division. As soon as he entered the Jing'an Division, he set up a major case. This person is sour and ridiculous, does not make friends with the world, does not ask about the world, and is dedicated to the study of mathematics. He once said that only numbers can reveal the truth of the world, and the law of numbers is the law that can be applied to the whole world. ”

Right Xiang's eyes narrowed slightly, and he laughed coldly: "What you said means that you can see this Xu Bin clearly?" ”

Turning to look at the pile of documents on the table not far away, the right minister sneered: "A person's merits and remarks that have been passed on by word of mouth, is this the person's true face?" ”

Ji Wen was really hungry, taking advantage of the right phase to turn around, he hurriedly licked the soup with his hand twice to relieve his hunger, and at the same time took a piece of chicken, but without waiting for the entrance, the right minister turned around again, and Ji Wen could only hide the chicken in his sleeve.

The right minister once again incarnated as a big man with insight into people's hearts, and said loudly: "The comments of the world, is this the true face of this person?" Can the biographies and historical materials of later generations, and the portraits drawn out of thin air by the portrayal, restore the true face of this person? It's just that, the person who reads the story wants to read it, and the person who writes the story can write it however he wants. ”

Ji Wen continued: "Xu Bin is low-key and introverted, and never writes poems. So there aren't many materials that can be found. ”

The right minister glanced at this subordinate with disgust, "The poems and texts written are just momentary feelings, with these few words, broken bricks and tiles?" Can you guess the reason for this person's motives? ”

patted the thick letter on the table, Lin Jiulang said: "These are all rumors that I am going to act as the government, and I hurriedly sent a tribute to the collection of poems and essays." I know that these people all want me to take a look at it, promote it, and work together for Datang in the future. However, can I judge from these things who is usable and who is not? ”

Ji Wen bowed his hand and said, "Look, his previous merits." ”

Lin Jiulang said disdainfully: "Compared with the literal book, minus half, they are all honest people." Even if it's a complete fake, people who see it don't have much bother to distinguish the real from the fake. ”

Sure enough, he is worthy of being the prime minister of the Tang Dynasty, and he can see through the essence at a glance, isn't this the fraud of academic qualifications and resumes in later generations? Didn't the leader know that it was a fraud? Of course, I know everything, but the whole world is full of fake people, just people who can use them from them.

Ji Wen understood, walked out, bowed to the right, and looked like he was studying: "Then, how to break people?" ”

"Relationship!" Lin Jiulang stretched out a finger and said categorically, "Look at who this person used to be used and who he was the enemy with." ”

Jiwen suddenly realized, turned around and picked up a plate of meat and said, "Understood! Meat, it's all the same taste, the key is, see which chef makes it. The cook of the Right Prime Minister's Mansion is said to be the first in Chang'an. The saint never forgot it after eating. ”

Lin Jiulang was speechless, Lao Tzu said so much, but you only think about eating?

"Relationships and merits will be written into historical materials, depending on whether the person who reads it will read it."

Ji Wen recalled: "Xu Bin, twenty-four years old, that is, from the eighth grade, I am afraid that he has never climbed to anyone. ”

The right minister analyzed: "If you don't advance, you will retreat, and the officialdom of the Tang Dynasty never leaves people without ambition." The reason why he is still in this position is not without other reasons. Examine! The person behind Cha Xubin. ”

"Huh? Go now? It's already the time of the eclipse...... The subordinates are worried about the right phase, and there are still three hundred barrels of fire and thunder that do not know where to go, so it is better to have dinner early and set off, and when they enter the Calyx Xianghui Building, they will be safe. ”

The right minister said in a deep voice: "I don't stay here as bait, how can I prove that the prince colluded with the wolf guards outside the country to assassinate my court officials?" In my house, there are hundreds of guards, and they are stronger than the road, so I'll stay here, you can go quickly. ”

"Jiwen will do it right away and share the worries of the right side."

"Oh, by the way, Sifang (old butler), wrap him some evening food and eat it on the way."

Ji Wen was inexplicably moved, "Thank you for your compassion." ”

After sending Ji Wen away, Lin Jiulang instructed the housekeeper to take out all those dry poems and prayers and burn them, looking upset.

Half an hour later, Ji Wen hurriedly turned back, "Right Minister, there are eyebrows, who is the eunuch!" Xu Bin once sold his job field without permission, and it seems that he is very short of money. But half a year ago, someone gave him a large sum of money, and the person who gave him the money was He Fu, the stupid son of He Jian. Without the instructions of the superintendent, how could a foolish person use a large amount of money? ”

The right minister listened quietly and nodded, "What did Xu Bin do today?" ”

"Investigated the case with a big case, recommended Zhang Xiaojing, and concealed from Li Bi that he and Zhang Xiaojing were old friends."

Lin Jiulang sneered, "It's really not a big case that was chosen, it's still a person!" ”

Ji Wen nodded, "The right minister is wise!" Xu Bin hid his selfishness, because Zhang Xiaojing was his friend, he hoped that he would handle the case, help him make meritorious contributions, and be exempted from capital crimes. ”

The right minister patted Ji Wen on the shoulder and reminded: "Your uncle Ji Wei is also the person who was the prime minister of the Wu Zhou Dynasty. Didn't he teach you? In officialdom, it's not that there is no pleasure in helping others, but the fun lies in whether it is beneficial to oneself. Xu Bin, hiding from his superiors and recommending friends, succeeded in vain, and was guilty of failure. Tang Lu doesn't have any merits and demerits, what benefits can he get? ”

Ji Wen didn't ask for much understanding, "This kind of eight-grade little official, he doesn't seek to be motivated, and he acts strangely, and Ji Wen can't guess his meaning for a while." However, there is this stupid thing done by Xu Bin, and there is evidence that He Fu gave money, no matter whether the Jing'an Si case is completed or not, from Li Bi to He Jian to the crown prince, they have joined forces to collude with each other, privately use death row prisoners, and plot misdeeds, even if they are confirmed. ”

On the side of Jing'an Division, scholar Cen Shen finally peeled off the cocoon and found out Xu Bin's problem, which was very problematic.
