Xing Shu, as the secretary of the Criminal Department, attaches great importance to Li Kui, but he has no intention of accompanying Li Kui to prison. After eating and drinking, Xing Shu said goodbye early. He came, more to appease Li Kui.

After all, although in the palace, Xiang Xiang has already confessed to the Queen Mother.

But before the edict of the Empress Dowager Xuanren was announced, it could not be said to be a victory.

Xing Shu also needs to go back and forth between the court bosses, communicate the details, and finalize the matter as soon as possible. He can't wait to make Concubine Zhu the queen mother tomorrow.

"Little Er!"

Li Kui shouted coldly in the official residence, and then shook his head.

Gary is very sad, he is the master of the prison department of the Criminal Department, and he is regarded as a junior by Li Kui, but how can people not bow their heads under the eaves? Gary hesitated: "Hey,—— hey, this uncle, please tell me what you want!" ”

In the wine shops and restaurants in the capital, it is normal for the guys to call the guests 'uncle'. But is Li Kui going to the restaurant?

Li Kui glared at Gary and said, "What kind of mess?" ”

Gary was all bad, he didn't understand what was wrong. Since Master Shangshu left, Gary found that Li Kui's confidence had risen, and his momentum had been extinguished by a bubble of urine. frowned and wanted to come to Li Kui, but like a wild dog that was not welcomed on the street, it was disgusting everywhere.

Humiliation, grievances, and even a little despair lingered in Gary's heart, and he said in a depressed mood: "Master Li, the villain has eyes and no beads, and he doesn't know real people, but the villain is really unintentional!" You have a relationship with the old man, why didn't you say it earlier? ”

Bullying the weak and fearing the hard is very common among scoundrels, low-level bureaucrats, and even servants. Gary is such a person, he is an official, in fact, he is an official, and there is no hope of promotion in this life. is also the eighth grade, if it is the eight-rank work of the Straight Secret Pavilion, the study of Taixue, even if those people are walking in the imperial city, they are all magnificent, and they all raise their heads and chests.

But what about Gary?

When this guy goes to any yamen, he bows his head and waist, and his knees are amazingly elastic and can adjust the height freely.

The reason is that the author Zuo Lang and Xuezheng, like him, are all official positions of the eighth grade, but a Jinshi background, the difference between the two is the difference between the two and the mud. And the author Saro and others are all jinshi, and they can only be held by those who rank best in the second class jinshi. For Gary, the end of his life is the prison director, and it is also his pinnacle. But for which Jinshi masters, the civil officials of the eighth grade are just the point.

Li Kui waved his hand and said, "Do you think you are as careful as you?" ”

Peng Hu looked at Li Kui's righteous words, and he was slandered in his heart: You are smaller than Gary in heart.

But let him really say this, Peng Hu didn't dare. Thighs, arms, back, stomach, where, where it hurts, this is still Li Kui's hand to collect it so that it is not injured. Although Li Kui saved Peng Hu, Peng Hu had the illusion of falling into one pit and another.

"That's wrong, you don't care about your so-called personal enmity at all, you really think of yourself as a character, you have to be a Jinshi first, do you have it?"

"What I just called my little girl, Ruan Xiaoer."

Gary lowered his head and scolded in his heart: "What is the lack of moral name, there is a name called Xiao Er, how can this father and mother be?" But he didn't dare to say that Ruan Xiaoer's name was not good in front of Li Kui, so he provoked a thumbs up and said: "Good name, easy to remember, easy to understand, catchy." ”

"Master Li, why don't the villains call your old little guy to serve you, do you think so?"

"This is the prison of the Criminal Department, isn't it convenient?"

"Convenient, convenient. As long as you are happy, everything is convenient. ”

Li Kui thought about it and agreed: "It's okay, tomorrow when Gao Yu comes, bring people." ”

"Why don't you let the villain run!"

"No, it's too late."

Gary was entangled for a while, but he couldn't help but ask Li Kui: "Master, are you from a Jinshi?" ”

Jinshi background? Who do you look down on? Li Kui pretended to be casual and said: "Jinshi and first!" But it's not as majestic as your prison department. ”

Hitting people doesn't slap their faces, Li Kui's words suddenly made Gary red-faced. Jinshi was born, and that Jinshi was born to work as a prison director in the prison of the Criminal Department? If the Ministry of Officials is so messy and abuses people, those scholars who have read the books of sages all their lives, if they are really assigned to the position of prison officials in the prison of the Criminal Department, they can hang themselves to the Ministry of Rites to read the book, believe it or not?

Who is the prison director?

Cool officer.

The lowest of the low.

This is not a sending of officials, it is a humiliation.

The Great Song Dynasty has an unlucky jinshi master who has been a seventh- or eighth-grade civil official all his life, but for an official position like the prison department, there will definitely not be a jinshi to do, and he can't afford to lose this person.

If you open your mouth, you think you are a ...... Hey, something is wrong. Gary suddenly pondered, the eldest lord Xing Shu had called Li Kui Li Zhimi before, and he was obviously an official position of a civil official. Although Li Kui doesn't look like a person who can get into the jinshi, but in the world, there are three-legged toads, so if someone can't get into the jinshi?

But Jinshi and the first is really not an ordinary Jinshi can be compared, the Great Song Dynasty has a three-year imperial examination, and only three people in each subject can be called Jinshi and the first, the first champion of the palace examination, the second list of the palace examination, and the third Tanhua of the palace examination.

Suddenly, Gary remembered that the Tanhua of this subject was also called Li Kui, but because he was confused by Li Kui's appearance at the beginning, he didn't think about it at all. Thinking about it now, he suddenly exclaimed: "Master is Xiao Li Tanhua?" ”

"Xiao Li Tanhua?"

Li Kui seems to have an impression of this title, but it is only an impression. However, Gary was dancing and gesturing, excited and inexplicable, and those who didn't know thought that he had fallen into Tanhualang: "In front of the master, the villain doesn't know face-to-face, and I ask the master to forgive him." Speaking of the day of Jinshi's street tour, the villain also went to see it. I just didn't recognize you, sir. ”

Wrong!

Li Kui touched his chin and looked at Gary, the champion rode around the streets, of course, he was the most eye-catching person. But he also rode a horse! Although the ranking is not the first, it is behind Ma Yu, the champion of today's department, and it is really unreasonable to say that you can't see it and have no impression. Unless......

Gary is also very aggrieved, if the forbidden army in the capital commits a crime, he will definitely go to Kaifeng Mansion to do something. The prison of the Criminal Department is either a repeat offender or a case that the Kaifeng government cannot handle.

As an old Xing Si, Gary knows that ordinary officials are not terrible, and the most terrifying thing is the Jinshi who have not yet become officials, or have only become officials. Often, one person is locked up in the prison of the criminal department, and a large group of people come to Hulala. All of them are Jinshi masters, although they don't have any blades in their hands, they are stunned to put on a momentum of rushing to kill the prison of the Criminal Department.

Therefore, every time a scholar travels through the streets, he has to take a look.

Those whom he cannot afford to offend must be written down. But Li Kui? He really didn't see it, and he was aggrieved when he said it: "Master Li, forgive the villain's clumsiness, I didn't see the master in the street procession." As he spoke, he was about to slap himself with a slap, and when he saw Li Kui falling into deep thought, he suddenly felt bored.

Li Kui also wondered that he was in the street parade at that time.

There is also Zuo Yiwei's forbidden army above to maintain order, and it seems that the people watching the parade are too enthusiastic, and he seems to be caught in Zuo Yiwei's team in the end...... I'll go, Li Kui is annoyed, when his life is at its most beautiful, he was treated as a forbidden army! This result made him a little difficult to accept.

Gary's words, Li Kui was obviously a little unable to catch it.

He was embarrassed to say that he was caught in the forbidden army at that time and was treated as a forbidden army? Although the robe of the tribute is a special official robe made by the imperial court, he can only embarrass himself if he is entangled in this matter.

This topic can't go on, Li Kui smiled, and then changed the topic: "But your name is also very special." ”

Gary exclaimed, "Yes! The villain's father doesn't have much ink in his stomach, and it can't be as good as the master's name. The villain's younger brother's name is also average, called Gai porcelain. ”

"Gates?"

Li Kui exclaimed: "With this name, who dares to say that your father can't understand literature and ink?" Your dad is not ordinary! ”

The surname is covered, the name is porcelain, and the porcelain is really good to feed, where is this name good? Gary couldn't figure it out, but he didn't dare ask. Because Li Kui looked at the book sent by Gao Yu with relish.

Gary and Peng Hu had no choice but to retreat lightly and wait outside the door.

After reading more than a dozen pages and putting down the book, Li Kui looked down at the edge of the bed, and the footwashing water was not hit. Forget it, don't wash it. If Xiao Er is here, this guy will definitely prepare for himself.

People's habits are very helpless, Li Kui is used to having a follower by his side, and suddenly, Ruan Xiaoer is gone, which makes him a little unaccustomed to it. I don't know where this kid went?

Maybe you're going home, right?

Although Ruan Xiaoer is greedy and fun on weekdays, he can still come in handy at critical times. Li Kui pondered that he should go back to report the news. But the problem is that the reason why he went to prison really can't be said, even if it's a family member, he has to hide it. After all, the scourge of the Queen Mother can be big or small, and it is estimated that it will be okay if the emperor finally holds it. But if it is publicized, it is impossible to say that the emperor will be forced by public opinion to do something with tears and tears.

In case of disturbing the old man's third uncle, I am afraid that it will be another situation of chickens flying and dogs jumping.

Although Ruan Xiaoer has a lot of bad habits, he is small-minded and aggressive, and he still has some sense of justice that makes people cry and laugh from time to time. But Ruan Xiaoer's guy also has something remarkable, as long as Li Kui has a look, he doesn't need to be reminded, and he can rush out. It can be said that Ruan Xiaoer was a mudslide in the boundary of the small house, and he robbed Yu Hou's life.

How did Li Kui know that Ruan Xiaoer had gone home, not only did he go home, but he also saw Li Kui being escorted out of the imperial city and imprisoned in the prison of the Criminal Department. He followed Li Kui all the way to the vicinity of the prison, and then turned around and left the prison of the Criminal Department and returned home.

The news that Li Kui was imprisoned immediately frightened the third uncle and others.

The third uncle was in charge and sent the fifth uncle Li Lin out to inquire about the news.

But how could Li Lin find out about the banquet in the imperial city? After working for most of the day, he returned to the Li family's mansion without a clue, but found that Gao Yu was stopping the third uncle and begging bitterly: "Third master, Brother Renjie is really fine, he can come out after a few days in the prison of the Criminal Department." ”

"Oh yes!"

The third uncle seemed to be very coaxing, Gao Yu secretly breathed a sigh of relief in his heart, and finally coaxed this old man, if he was involved, I am afraid that His Majesty would have a headache. The significance of the third uncle to the emperor is extraordinary, this is a wise man who the emperor is happy and convinced to treat as a teacher.

Although the wisdom of the third uncle is like that for ordinary people, it is extraordinary for the emperor. The old man taught the emperor the tricks of the scoundrel, and tried hundreds of tricks in the court, but the ministers had no way at all.

The emperor felt more and more deeply that the third uncle was extraordinary, and even wanted to leave the old man in the capital.

In case the old man reacts excessively, or goes away angrily, I am afraid that the emperor will not be able to explain anywhere.

The sadness on the third uncle's face went down a little, and then he asked Gao Yu a question that was difficult for him to answer: "Okay, Gao Yu, the old man believes what you say." But the old man wondered, Renjie is so good, why did he go to prison in the Criminal Department? What crime did he commit? ”

"This ...... Third master, don't ask too much. This is a matter in the palace, in short, even if you don't believe me, you should believe Huang Gongzi, right? After three or five days, Renjie was allowed to go home. Gao Yu had a bitter face, and he didn't dare to tell some secrets. Besides, Li Kui's secret is actually not very clear to Gao Yu.

It wasn't until Li Kui took out the edict of the Empress Dowager Xuanren in the main hall that Gao Yu understood that Li Kui wanted to fight with the Empress Dowager Xiang for His Majesty.

This justifiably is, His Majesty's own mother is here, why do you want multiple adoptive mothers to come out?

His Majesty recognizes the adoptive mother of the Queen Mother, but his own mother can't deny it.

It's easy to say, but the matter of the heavenly family, although it is a bullshit and muddled account, is a great disaster for civil and military officials. Of course, the reason why Gao Yu was able to affirm that Li Kui would come out in a few days was mainly because he saw the clues from Xing Shu's attitude towards Li Kui. But these are all speculations and suspicions.

What made Gao Yu most sure that Li Kui would not stay in prison for long was the emperor, and Zhao Xu instructed Gao Yu to send someone to take care of Li Kui. Only then did Gao Yu understand that Li Kui had suffered again for the emperor.

It's not a prison sentence at all, but a great credit.

The secret about the emperor and the queen mother, even if Gao Qiu trusted the third uncle, he didn't dare to say it.

The third uncle was silent for a long time, and seemed to be a little drowsy and absent-minded, and after a long time, he sighed: "Okay, I believe it." ”

Gao Yu breathed a sigh of relief, quite a false alarm, and he also wanted to tell the truth as it was. But the problem is that he doesn't know how much Li Kui is involved in; Second, Li Kui never talked to him at all. Even his own family is hidden, how can he tell him clearly?

What's more, Gao Yu is not an important minister of the court, he is just a small commander, and he just slaps his horse in front of the emperor on weekdays.

The third uncle sat under the porch, as if he had aged a lot all of a sudden. When Gao Yu left the house, he suddenly opened his eyes, and his eyes, which were cloudy on weekdays, suddenly brightened and terrifying. The third uncle was not sad or happy, his eyes fell on Li Lin's body, and he opened his mouth and asked, "Fifth brother, how to deal with this matter?" ”

The fifth uncle glared and said angrily: "Third uncle, you are old and confused, can we believe the nonsense of being an official?" ”

The third uncle didn't have a smile on his face, but there was a little approval in his eyes, and he said in a deep voice: "Inform Li Quan, take your female dependents out of the city immediately and go to Dengzhou." Let the children prepare and prepare, and take a good hand to rob the prison of the Criminal Department in the middle of the night today. ”

Ruan Xiaoer's eyes lit up when he heard it on the side, and he said excitedly: "Third grandfather, arson?" ”

The third uncle smiled: "Good boy, I didn't hurt you in vain!" ”
