"Your Highness, then you should go to bed early, and the lower officials will retire first."

"Hmm."

As soon as Shi Kailin and the people left, Liu Qi asked Qin Wei to close the door.

The dinner didn't last long, and the food wasn't very rich.

Moreover, unlike other officials, at the table, Shi Kailin was a little reserved, and he would not say any polite words that made people happy.

"Your Highness, Shi Junshou is not bad, not only loved by the people, but also honest and honest, he is a good official."

Liu Qi sat on the chair, pondering.

After a moment, he shook his head slightly.

"Something is wrong, this king always feels that something is wrong."

Qin Wei glanced towards the door and suddenly became alert.

"Your Highness, what's wrong?"

"I don't know, although all kinds of signs show that Shi Kailin is a clean official, but this king always feels that something is wrong."

Qin Wei breathed a long sigh of relief, just thinking that there was something unsafe around.

"What's wrong?"

"In short, everything is so good, so good that this king can hardly find any fault."

"Qin Wei, do you believe that there is such an incorruptible official? Look at it, as a fourth-grade official, he doesn't even have a decent piece of furniture. ”

Hearing this, Qin Wei smiled.

"Your Highness, I'm afraid you're not thinking too much."

"Perhaps, you have seen too many corrupt officials in the court, so that the appearance of such a clean official makes you a little unaccustomed to it for a while."

"The last general is still willing to believe that in our Daqing, there are still some different officials."

Liu Qi nodded.

"Well, this king is hopeful, but I think too much about myself. Stand down, I'll look for you again if there's anything. ”

Qin Wei walked away and closed the door.

But Liu Qi was not in a hurry to rest.

He walked to the side of the room and opened the window. As you can see, there is a horse ring next to the house.

In the stable, there is a groom feeding the horses at this time.

It just so happened that someone walked in with a horse, and it was the horses of the prince's family.

The groom is still a mute. The people who came in made a gesture with him for a while, and then he led all the horses into a separate circle.

Liu Qi looked at it and pondered.

Shi Kailin, is it really that this king thinks wrong, you can't do it?

......

Early the next morning, there was a knock on the door, waking up Liu Qi, who was sleeping.

"Your Highness, the Lord Keeper Jia He is here."

This Jia He, Liu Qi saw it yesterday, and he can be said to be Shi Kailin's right-hand man.

In contrast, this man is more capable of making things happen and say things that make people happy.

But for such a person, Liu Qi doesn't particularly like it in his heart.

After a long while, the prince finally walked out of the room.

Jia He was standing at the door with a courteous face.

"Your Highness, Lord Shi is opening a mansion to handle a case, and I specially asked my subordinates to wait for His Highness and go to eat."

Handling? This reminded Liu Qi of the scene of Bao Gong's judgment on TV in his previous life.

"Don't worry, it's just right, this king also wants to see how Master Shi decided the case."

......

Walking from the side door to the outside of the palace gate, Liu Qi and his party deliberately did not make a noise, and stood at the back of the crowd.

Inside, in the lobby, two people were kneeling.

Different from his previous amiable appearance, Shi Kailin's face at this time was majestic, and his eyes were like torches.

Dressed in a dark blue satin official uniform, the four big characters "Justice and Honesty" were embroidered on his chest, which seemed to shine with justice in the sun.

In front of the desk, a middle-aged man with a painful face, his name is Zhang San, and he is the victim of theft in the case.

On the other side, a young man, Li Si, with a frightened face, was accused of being a thief.

Shi Kailin swept over the two of them, and then he turned to Li Si.

"Li Si, can you admit to stealing Zhang San's property?"

Li Si trembled.

"My lord, I... I didn't. ”

His gaze was determined, and despite the fear written on his face, he had not lost the courage to defend himself.

Shi Kailin was silent for a while, then turned to Zhang San and said in a stern tone.

"Zhang San, you said that Li Si took your money, is there any evidence?"

Zhang San lowered his head.

"My lord, do you still need evidence? Li Si's family is poor, who else can he be? ”

Shi Kailin frowned.

"Is being poor a reason to steal your finances? Ridiculous! ”

Shi Kailin then turned to Li Si.

"Li Si, what do you have to say about this?"

Li Si's face was full of tears.

"My lord, the small people are wronged. On that day, I didn't set foot in Zhang San's room at all. It's not me at all! ”

Shi Kailin was silent for a moment.

"Zhang San, since yesterday, Li Si has left your house?"

"Back to my lord, I never left!"

"Okay, since Li Si doesn't admit to taking your money, now the official will search him and your mansion, if you don't have your money, what should you do?"

But after hearing this, Zhang San suddenly looked nervous.

"My lord, maybe I forgot where I put the small one, I see this, so forget it."

"Forget it? No, since you have already gone to court, why don't you forget it, someone is coming..."

"Adult, let's be honest, it's me who hid the money, and my aunt is strict, so I treat it as private money, and today the money is less, and my aunt asked me to find it, so I did..."

"Bold Zhang San, dare to make false accusations in front of this official, come here! Hit the 30 big boards! ”

Zhang San immediately panicked.

"My lord, the little one is wrong! Spare me, I paid for the construction of the East Bridge in the city! ”

But Shi Kailin acted as if he hadn't heard it, and still asked his subordinates to do it.

In just a moment, Zhang San's miserable shouts sounded in the lobby.

Li Si knelt on the ground and looked at Shi Kailin on the desk, his eyes full of gratitude.

The people outside also applauded one after another, saying that Shi Kailin was their lord of the sky, fair and selfless, and did not bend his waist for power.

It's not the same as Liu Qi thought.

Many of the later cases are very trivial things, such as roosters and dogs, or trivial matters that are common and short.

But Shi Kailin was not troublesome at all, and he was very fair, and he did not bias anyone with status, nor did he say that because of which person's status was low, he would take more care of him.

Looking at the people again, their eyes are full of reverence for Shi Kailin.

The four big characters of the plaque in the public hall "fair and honest" seem to be Shi Kailin.

"Quit!"

shouted loudly, and the people applauded one after another, praising Shi Kailin one after another.

Shi Kailin was very humble, constantly smiling and nodding his head, just like Fang Cai.

"Folks, go back, go back and do your own business."

From seeing this scene.

Liu Qi began to doubt himself again, did he really think about it a lot? No matter how you look at it, Shi Kailin is a good official.

Well, if that's the case, when you have the opportunity, you must promote him heavily.

And just as he was thinking, suddenly Qin Wei approached and patted his arm.

Liu Qi turned around and followed him away from the crowd.

"What's wrong?"

"Your Highness, General Han Zhong, it's here."
