There is a pavilion and a small river flowing on the banks of this lake.

At this moment, there are many fine food and wine on the table, and in the pavilion is sitting a handsome young man.

Qin Fan took a closer look, and he was sure that this young man was Li Shimin, so he led everyone into the pavilion quickly.

Qin Fan walked up to Li Shimin, bowed down and said, "Your Majesty."

"No courtesy, sit down." Li Shimin smiled indifferently.

The crowd thanked each other and sat down.

"Qin Aiqing, I called you here today, in addition to wanting you to help me analyze Xiao Yu's intentions for this trip, and more importantly, I want to talk to you about one of my hidden diseases."

Li Shimin said solemnly.

"Hidden disease?" When Qin Fan heard this, he couldn't help but show a look of astonishment.

You must know that Li Shimin is a dignified emperor, the respected ninety-five emperor in the world, how can he suffer from a hidden disease?

But since Li Shimin said it, he naturally had to listen carefully.

"Qin Aiqing, my health has been getting worse and worse recently, and there are already signs of being terminally ill." Li Shimin said with a frown.

When Qin Fan heard this, he couldn't help but gasp.

You must know that Li Shimin is the son of heaven in the Tang Dynasty today, and he is supported by hundreds of millions of people at dawn.

Every word he said would cause a huge sensation, but at this moment, Li Shimin actually said that his body was showing signs of being terminally ill, which was simply appalling.

If such news spreads, it will definitely shake the whole world.

"Your Majesty, your dragon body is abnormally expensive, and the minister really doesn't dare to talk about your condition." Qin Fan shook his head, looking sincerely frightened.

Li Shimin snorted lightly and said, "I have sent someone to find a famous doctor, hoping to cure my illness."

When Qin Fan heard this, he nodded lightly noncommittally on the surface, but he felt a little contempt in his heart.

This Li Shimin will really give himself a gold sticker, which is obviously trying to cover up his real illness.

"Your Majesty, leave this matter to Weichen. Wechen is willing to take matters into our own hands to solve this problem for you." Qin Fan clenched his fists and said.

When Li Shimin heard this, his eyes suddenly flashed, staring at Qin Fan, and he seemed to be a little surprised: "Oh? Are you sure you can cure my hidden disease?"

Qin Fan replied confidently, "As long as Wei Chen is given a certain amount of time, Wei Chen will definitely do his best to prepare a good medicine for His Majesty."

"That's good, I believe in you." Li Shimin nodded with satisfaction.

Then, Qin Fan asked to access some information. After all, this matter is related to his performance evaluation, and there is no room for the slightest carelessness.

Li Shimin nodded in agreement.

After coming out of the palace, Qin Fan returned directly to the Qin Mansion and began to read the memoraries sent by the officials of the Ministry of Households, the Ministry of Crime, and the Ministry of Industry.

These twists and turns are trivial things. For example, which shop provoked which bully, or who was dismissed for corruption and bribery, etc.

Qin Fan flipped through these folds, mainly trying to find out Xiao Yu's flaws. After all, his goal is to pull Xiao Yu off the horse.

"Hey, how can there be an anonymous whistleblower letter?" Qin Fan suddenly found that the letter was unsigned.

Qin Fan was slightly surprised, so he planned to open it and check it out.

As soon as he opened the letter, he smelled a pungent fishy odor coming over him.

Qin Fan raised his eyes and swept away, it turned out that the envelope of this letter was smeared with poisonous powder.

"Despicable." Qin Fan cursed in his heart, and quickly held his breath and hid the letter.

"Fortunately, I had the foresight, otherwise I would have been poisoned as soon as I opened this letter."

Qin Fan was secretly happy in his heart, but he also knew that although the letter was hidden by himself, he could not be sent to the palace again.

So he burned the letter, so that he would not be suspicious of himself.

After doing this, Qin Fan continued to look through the case file.

It wasn't long before he finally found a more detailed case file from among them.

This case file records that Li Yuanqing, the king of Xiping County of the Western Wei State, colluded with the Western Wei delegation to plot a rebellion.

This case file was submitted by someone from the Criminal Department, and Qin Fan sneered while looking at it: "Sure enough, the dog jumped over the wall in a hurry."

Qin Fan looked at it and suddenly found a strange place, that is, Xiao Yu did not mention anything about Xiao Yu's collusion with the Western Wei State delegation in this case file.

It stands to reason that the Western Wei State mission would definitely not tell Xiao Yu about such an important confidential matter.

Qin Fan thought about it, and suddenly a flash of inspiration happened, he knew why.

This secret letter should have been deliberately left by Li Shimin, in order to test Xiao Yu.

If Xiao Yu admits that he has colluded with the Western Wei delegation, then the evidence is conclusive, and he must be to blame.

However, if Xiao Yu flatly denied it, and even pulled Li Shimin off the horse, it means that he has no fear and is not afraid of Li Shimin at all.

"Hehe, it's worthy of an old fox, and he's quite good at playing." Qin Fan laughed sarcastically.

Immediately, Qin Fan continued to look down, and soon saw the result of Xiao Yu's punishment, depriving the military department of the title of left attendant.

This punishment is already an extremely severe punishment for Xiao Yu.

You must know that Xiao Yu is now a third-grade member, and it is basically impossible to be promoted again.

"That's it?" Qin Fan muttered to himself.

Next, Qin Fan browsed some other cases of the Ministry of Households, the Ministry of Industry and the Ministry of Crime, and gave instructions on the work of the officials of the three departments.

It wasn't until late at night that Qin Fan came out of the imperial study and prepared to rest for the night.

But before he could go back, he met Liu Renliang with an angry face.

"Qin Gongzi, my father has been arrested and put in prison." Liu Renliang said anxiously.

"What? Liu Shangshu was arrested? What the hell is going on?" Qin Fan's eyes widened suddenly.

Liu Renliang gritted his teeth and said, "It was ordered by Li Shimin, saying that my father harbored traitors and fornicated with foreign enemies."

After Qin Fan was silent for a moment, he asked, "Did your father have some tricks that Li Shimin caught?" Otherwise, how could he have rushed to collude with the traitor?"

Liu Renliang sighed and said, "I don't know about this, I only know that my father does have some problems, otherwise Li Shimin wouldn't be so angry."

Qin Fan frowned and asked, "Now what is the chance of Li Shimin to win?"

"I don't know this very well, but judging from his attitude during this time, he has lost trust in Xiao Yu."

Qin Fan nodded, and asked again, "What has your father done during this time?"

"My father usually goes to work at the yamen in the morning and then comes home in the afternoon." Liu Renliang said.

"yes, I see. Go back to sleep, and I'll think about it and see if I can come up with a way to turn things around and get your father out."

"Then it's troublesome for Gongzi Qin." Liu Renliang said gratefully.

He admired Qin Fan very much, so he obeyed Qin Fan's orders.

After sending Liu Renliang away, Qin Fan came to his room alone and sat cross-legged on the bed.
