After accepting the apprentices, the six of them returned to the house, added wine and returned to the lamp to reopen the feast.

The bargaining is staggered, and the wine order is rampant.

Xu Fenglei also saw that Xue Rengui, this kid, not only has an amazing amount of food, but also an incomparably terrifying amount of alcohol!

Drink down to the two masters, and he's still like he's fine!

"Pain...... Joyfully! ”

Yu Chigong stretched his tongue wide, his body spread out on the chair like mud, and pointed at Xue Rengui and praised,

"You kid, this drinking is real! Whatever you ...... Whatever you want! ”

"Come on, come again!"

He was clearly drunk, but he still refused to admit defeat!

"Master Wei Chi wants to drink, and the apprentice must accompany him to the end! Hey hey ......"

Xue Rengui smiled, raised his cup and took a sip directly!

When the wine glass was flipped over, I saw the old black ...... I'm already drunk and unconscious!

"Wow, rubbish!"

Cheng Yanjin glanced at Wei Chigong with disdain, and then raised the cup and shouted,

"Rengui, come! Master Cheng will drink with you! Lao Tzu is massive! ”

Boom!

Boom!

Boom!

Bang!

After three cups were spelled out, Cheng Yanjin, who had just finished bragging about it, couldn't stand on his feet, and sat on the chair with a bang.

"Hey, okay, what are you drinking? The earth-shattering sound of cowhide blowing turned into soft-footed shrimp at the critical moment. ”

Qin Qiong took a sip, poured the sobering tea into the muddy mouth of Wei Chigong, and snorted,

"I've got my brother to wipe my ass."

"Rengui!"

He shouted, and Xue Rengui immediately ran up.

"Go, pour a cup of tea for Master Cheng for you, and we will carry them to the sedan chair with one lump each."

Qin Qiong commanded,

"It's not too early, it's time to return to the cage."

"Yes." Xue Rengui obediently obeyed his orders, poured tea for Cheng Yanjin neatly, picked him up and ran out, and disappeared in the blink of an eye.

Qin Qiong blinked.

"Young people are good......"

He sighed, and immediately took Wei Chigong's arm and carried it on his shoulder.

Ho!

A piece of heavy meat on his shoulders, Qin Qiong gritted his teeth and made a lot of effort.

Rise!

"Old, old...... It's not okay to be old! ”

After adjusting a comfortable posture, he couldn't help but shake his head and sigh, bent down and waved at Xu Fenglei and Li Jing,

"Taishi, acting father, let's go!"

Xu Fenglei and Li Jing were drinking tea on the side, and they all got up to send each other off at this moment.

"Taishi, it's getting late, and I'm leaving."

Walking to the door, watching the three generals leave, Li Jing also arched his hand,

"Thank you for your hospitality."

"Where." Xu Fenglei waved his hand and said with a smile, "I heard that there are a few good horses in the Pharmacist's Mansion, if you have the opportunity in the future, you will definitely visit the door." ”

When Li Jing heard this, he laughed.

"It's easy to say, it's easy to say, I'm not a man who likes to serve people, but I love to serve horses."

He said,

"At that time, if the master has anything you like, I will give you two horses!"

The two politely greeted each other, and Li Jing looked at Xue Rengui again, and said:

"Rengui, tomorrow I will send you a book of soldiers, you read it first, try to understand, and write it down if you have any ignorance."

"After a while, the teacher will want to inspect you."

For Xue Rengui, a newly recruited apprentice, he was obviously interested.

"Yes, Master."

Xue Rengui also looked solemn and bowed respectfully.

Li Jing bowed slightly, raised his legs and got into the carriage.

Whew......

The wheels rolled away, and Xu Fenglei was also relieved.

"Big brother...... Aren't you tired? ”

Xue Rengui looked over and said cautiously.

Xu Fenglei touched it into his arms and took out a cigarette.

"Asking someone to do something...... How can you not be tired? Your eldest brother and I have always been the least good at socializing. ”

He took out the fire fold with his hand, lightly lit the cigarette, inhaled sharply, and slowly exhaled,

"This time it's for you, but I pulled this face down, and the benefits were exchanged for several waves!"

"You kid, you have to fight, you can't drop the chain!"

Xue Rengui's heart was shocked!

"Big brother......" He looked moved, and was about to bow down, but was stopped by Xu Fenglei.

"Don't do all that red tape, it will only increase the distance between us."

Xu Fenglei exhaled a puff of cigarette, held the cigarette in his hand, patted him on the shoulder and smiled,

"What we want is to be intimate."

"Go, rest, go! Listen to your master tomorrow and eat a fat sheep! Don't care about those sisters in the house, they are teasing you! ”

"Yes!" Xue Rengui's voice was sonorous and his gaze was solid.

The eldest brother is so good to himself, and the masters value themselves so much...... If you don't learn to be a person, who is it worth?

"That's right, big brother...... Just now, Master Wei Chi asked you to ask for cigarettes, didn't you say that they were all handed over to Your Majesty? ”

Xue Rengui suddenly raised his eyes and said with a smile,

"So there's still ......"

Syllable!

Xu Fenglei slapped him on the head.

"You're stupid! Of course, you can't tell the truth to that old guy, or your big brother will be annoyed to death by him! ”

He laughed and scolded,

"Remember, this is a secret, don't turn your elbow out if you recognize Master, your eldest brother will always be your dearest eldest brother! Do you hear that? ”

At the dinner table just now, Wei Chigong shouted several times.

If he knew that he still had stock, he wouldn't have to come to the door every day to harass him?

"Yes!

"Little brother, I won't say anything if I kill him!"

Xue Rengui straightened up and swore to the sky.

"Come on, go ahead!"

Xu Fenglei waved his hand and said,

"It's not a rare treasure, it won't be long before it's everywhere."

"I guess I guessed that the Turkic pharmacists were about to find ......."

……

A few days later.

Imperial City, Ministry of Industry Hall.

Click, click.

The two brothers, Yan Liben and Yan Lide, were standing like this at the moment, beads of sweat the size of beans were pouring down one by one.

Although no one sat in the seat in front of the two, the room was already full of oppression at this time.

At least for them...... It's oppressive!

Da, da.

The sound of gentle footsteps came from behind them, making the two chrysanthemums tighten.

"Why are you standing stupidly?"

A familiar voice came, and I saw Xu Fenglei walking to the main seat step by step with his hands behind his back and sitting down.

The voice was not full of joy or anger, and his expression was very calm.

But it is this kind of calm that makes the two brothers even more bottomless!

Instead, they want to be scolded with their heads and faces! That's not so stressful......

"Ministry, Ministry......"

Yan Lide wiped the beads of sweat from his forehead and said with difficulty,

"Xiaguan...... The lower official is guilty! ”

Poof!

When the words fell, he knelt directly in front of Xu Fenglei!

"The lower official is guilty!"

The elder brother took the lead in confessing his guilt, and Yan Liben still dared to stand, and he also knelt down with a sonorous sound.

"Huh."

Xu Fenglei casually picked up a dossier and said casually,

"What is the sin?"

Yan Lide lowered his head and arched his hand, and said in a trembling voice:

"Chang'an School is a key project of the Ministry of Industry, and there is corruption in it! This...... This is really a dereliction of duty on the part of the lower officials, a serious dereliction of duty! ”

"Please be respectful...... Punish! ”

Yan Liben also lowered his head and drooped his head, with a bitter look on his face.

They never expected it!

The school project, which is the most important to the ministry, has actually deducted workers' wages and food!

And this ...... It was found out during a private visit to the ministry's Weifu.

This is even more terrifying......

Syllable!

"Reprimand?"

Xu Fenglei slapped the file in his hand on the table and said calmly,

"If something like this happens, how can I have the right to punish you?"

"There is such a scandal in the Ministry of Industry, even I, the Shangshu, cannot escape the blame, and I have to ask the emperor for the guilt - but."

Looking at the two people who were kneeling on the ground trembling, he slowly got up.

"I still have a reason, after all, I was leading troops outside a while ago, and it is normal to be negligent, and Your Majesty can understand and understand, but what about you?"

Xu Fenglei stared at the two, leaned forward slightly, and said lightly,

"You guys are in Chang'an City. It's happening right under your noses, but you don't know it, and you let corruption grow. ”

"I'm afraid I can't escape this guilt ......"

"At the very least, you are guilty of negligence; At worst, it is condoning corruption. ”

"According to the "Zhenguan Law", official corruption and shielding and conniving corruption are both crimes, both of which are crimes of killing heads, you ...... Prepare for the worst! ”

Yan Lide: "!! ”

Yan Liben: "!! ”

"Ministry, Ministry, help!"

Yan Lide trembled with fright and cried,

"The lower officials do not mean to connive at corruption! Xia Guan is too busy! There are so many things to deal with every day...... People, people are dizzy! ”

"Minister's ......"

He was really scared to pee.

After working diligently for so long, there was such a sudden disaster, or a catastrophe of destruction!

Who can withstand this?

"Ministry, what my brother said is the truth, we are definitely not corpses, and we dare not condone corruption! It's really too much official business of the Ministry of Industry! ”

Yan Liben raised his head and said,

"My brother and I haven't taken a vacation for more than half a year! I threw myself all my heart into official business! ”

"Please be respectful...... Perceive! ”

Xu Fenglei listened to the grievances of the two brothers, and his expression eased a little.

As officials, they have a holiday, which can be taken once every ten days, and three days off in a month.

And these two brothers have become liver emperors, they have little time to rest, and they are all used to work overtime!

What kind of spirit is this?

The donkeys of the production team have to be swept to death by them when they come!

"Dizzy, busy with official business, this is not an excuse, not a reason!"

Xu Fenglei flicked his sleeves violently and said sharply,

"Why don't you tell Your Majesty to go, and tell those ministers to go! See if they are willing to understand you, if they are willing to understand you! ”

"I know you are very wronged, but it has happened, and it is useless to pour bitter water! The only way to solve it is to find a way! Got it?! ”

His tone was raised an octave, and his expression was stern.

The two brothers' expressions relaxed.

It's good that the ministry is willing to get angry...... If you get angry, you can still be saved.

The indifferent appearance that was as calm as water just now is terrifying!

"Xia Guan understands! Please show me! ”

Yan Lide said busily,

"What you tell us to do, we'll do!"

Xu Fenglei sat down again.

"Get up, what are you still doing on your knees? Tell people to see a joke, huh? ”

He raised his hand.

"Yes, yes, Xie Buzun......"

As if they had been pardoned, the two of them hurriedly stood up.

"This corruption, from the moment it appears, don't think about hiding it, suppressing it, that will only make the situation worse."

Xu Fenglei took a sip of tea and said,

"Find out, find out what he is! It is the right way to do what is above board, to get rid of all those moths, to ensure your innocence, and to ensure that there will be no such ugly things in the future! ”

"That's why I directly sent those two people to the Criminal Department."

The two nodded repeatedly.

"You two work hard and conscientiously, I see it all,"

Xu Fenglei said softly,

"Therefore, I believe that your character will not have anything to do with this matter, you are just unlucky at best."

"Your Majesty, I will make it clear, try to reduce your guilt, convict you of negligence, and punish you with a penalty."

Yan Lide suddenly burst into tears.

Yan Liben's eyes were also red.

At the critical moment, the ministry chose to believe in them unconditionally and speak for them!

I was so impressed!

The person who is a confidant dies, at this moment, as long as Xu Fenglei says a word, let them go up the sword mountain and go down to the sea of fire, they will not frown!

"Over there, have you found out something?"

Xu Fenglei asked.

"Hui Buzun, there is a reply."

Yan Libendao,

"Under the heavy sentence of the Criminal Department, both of them have pleaded guilty, and they have indeed deducted the workers' wages and food expenses, and filled their own pockets."

"In the past few months, I have been greedy for a total of thousands of taels of silver, most of which have been greedy by the head surnamed Zhao, and the rest of the person is just greedy for a little profit."

Xu Fenglei suddenly.

"Looking at it this way, it seems that this thing is ...... Simple? ”

He touched his chin and muttered,

"It's all because this Zhao is a thief and fills his pockets?"

Yan Liben hesitated slightly.

"It seems...... That's it. ”

He said,

"Listening to the words from the Criminal Department, the person surnamed Zhao did find thousands of taels of silver in his house, and the amount is right."

"Now, the case has entered the closing stage, and the opinion of the Criminal Department is to dismiss and sit on the crime! As long as His Majesty colludes, he will be executed. ”

Xu Fenglei rubbed his chin slightly.

"The efficiency of the penal department...... When did it get so fast? ”

He said with a smile, "In the past, if a case didn't drag on for three or five months, there was no progress at all, but this time it's good...... It's going fast. ”

Yan Liben was stunned. "Maybe it's because these two prisoners were personally sent by you, so the Criminal Department doesn't dare to slack off?"

He guessed, "After all, your prestige ......"

"Wait......" Yan Lide raised his head and said, "Ministry, what do you mean...... What's wrong here? ”

Xu Feng thundered his head.

"I know the urine sex of those guys in the criminal department, my name, can put pressure on them, I believe it, but-"

He said slowly,

"This case is so beautiful, I always feel that something is wrong...... There is a deliberate feeling. ”

There was silence in the hall. "Lide."

Xu Feng said suddenly, "You go to the construction site now, check the number of various building materials, see if you can match them, and whether you have cut corners." ”

"Yes!"

Yan Lide was shocked and hurriedly responded.

"Liben."

Xu Fenglei got up and ordered,

"You go with me to the Punishment Department now, and I want to see with my own eyes how they handle the case."

"Let's go, let's go now!"

Phew.

The three of them all took a step out of the lobby of the Ministry of Works!
