Li Qingquan's appearance of traveling in a Taoist robe caused a discussion in Chang'an, but under the deliberate suppression of the imperial court, it did not set off too many waves.

After all, the Li Tang royal family considers themselves to be the descendants of Taoist ancestor Li Er, and it is not a big deal to advocate Taoism and wear Taoist robes.

Soon, a holy decree attracted people's attention-

The Emperor gives marriage!

Princess Runan will be married to Du He, the second son of Du Ruhui, the Duke of Laiguo, and will be married in three years!

For a while, the streets and alleys were discussing the emperor's second daughter, Princess Runan, and the eldest daughter, Princess Xiangcheng, seemed to be hidden in the dust and smoke, and no one would mention it again......

……

Xuguo Mansion.

Xue Rengui packed up the package and knocked on Xu Fenglei's door.

There was a creak, and the door opened.

"Rengui, ......"

Xu Fenglei rubbed his eyes, took a bite of the cake sent by the maidservant, and said with a puzzled expression,

"What are you going to do here? Going far away? ”

Xue Rengui nodded.

"Big brother, Master Li Jing said that it was too troublesome for me to go to his house every day, and asked me to go directly to his house to live and practice the art of war."

He said.

When Xu Fenglei heard this, he couldn't help but smile.

"It seems that you, Master Li Jing, really treat you as an apprentice, and I want to teach you all the mastery."

He nodded, patted Xue Rengui's shoulder, and said approvingly,

"Good thing! Since ancient times, apprentices have also eaten and lived in the master's house, don't be restrained after you go, eat and drink with an open stomach! Eat your body to get stronger, otherwise you won't be able to bear it when the three of you, Master Cheng, Master Wei Chi, and Master Qin Qiong want to boil your muscles and bones! ”

Xue Rengui worshiped the four masters in one breath, and they naturally wouldn't come up to train the apprentices at the same time.

But with his small body, those big men casually practiced him twice, and it was estimated that it would be wasted, so ...... The three fierce generals don't make a move for the time being, let him eat first!

When they eat fat and strong, with big shoulders and round waists, it is the time for them to come on the stage to practice.

Therefore, at this stage, it is obviously the most efficient for Li Jing to teach the art of war while eating the sea.

"Yes, big brother!"

Xue Rengui smiled and said,

"Little brother will! Although Shi Niang sometimes thinks that I eat too much and will beat me a few times, she still manages the meal in the end, and she can eat enough for every meal. ”

When Xu Fenglei heard this, he couldn't help but roll his eyes.

This is very much in line with his imagination of the Red Whisker Girl......

"Your sister is such a character, let her beat her twice."

He waved his hand and admonished,

"However, she has a sworn brother, a big bearded man, you have to be careful, if this thing beats you, you must get out of the way! Don't be beaten by him in vain. ”

"You know?"

The red-haired woman can lie down at most if she beats her twice, and if the bearded guest comes up with a fist, it can really beat people to death!

"Little brother, remember!"

Xue Rengui was shocked in his heart, and said with a cautious face.

"Go ahead!"

Xu Fenglei smiled and waved his hand,

"I boasted about Haikou in front of Your Majesty, saying that you are the mainstay of my Tang Dynasty military circles in the future!"

"Now not only the eldest brother, but also your four masters have expectations for you, and even His Majesty the Emperor has high hopes for you! You have to learn in a down-to-earth manner and learn the real skills! In the future, to serve the country, it will not be in vain for us to cultivate. ”

When Xue Rengui heard this, his expression was solemn, and his legs were together.

"Big brother, little brother will definitely not let you down!"

He bowed deeply and said seriously,

"Don't worry!"

After that, Xue Rengui turned around, left the Duke of Xu's mansion, and embarked on a journey

- That is the invincible road laid for him by Xu Fenglei to become the future military god of Datang!

"Whew-"

Xiaolan on the side poked his head out, patted his chest gently, and breathed a sigh of relief.

"This big rice bucket has finally gone to trouble other homes, sir, don't you know, Rengui is here, and the cost of food in our house has directly doubled!"

"It's terrible!"

This kid doesn't just eat, he eats meat!

At this time in the house, mutton and beef are available in unlimited quantities! On average, a live sheep is slaughtered every three days!

In other words, ordinary rich and noble families have to be eaten poor by him.

"It's not big or small."

Xu Fenglei glanced at her and reprimanded,

"Rengui is my sworn brother, what is a little bit of food?"

"You are not allowed to arrange him behind his back, this amount of food, ordinary people can't reach it! If you want to be able to eat like this, I will also train you to be a female general, how about it? ”

Being able to eat is also a talent! It is an indispensable talent for a fierce general!

Not to mention Wei Chigong and Cheng Biting Jin, they are wise generals like Li Jing, and the amount of food is not small!

Xiaolan stuck out her tongue.

"Just talking......"

She laughed,

"Since you gave the order to replenish his body, our small stove has been working day and night, changing tricks to cook all kinds of delicacies for him."

Suddenly, Xiaolan sighed again, and said with some sorrow:

"I don't know if he eats as much as he eats, and I heard that Mrs. Hongfu thinks he eats too much, and she wants to beat him...... Hey, poor Rengui, what can I do without our seven good sisters to take care of me. ”

Although the rice bucket shouted on their mouths, the seven of them took care of Xue Rengui in an absolutely meticulous manner!

Now that I am leaving, I am obviously going to endure hardships......

Xu Fenglei's face turned dark, and he was about to speak, but he heard an announcement from outside:

"Sir, I'll see you."

"Huh?" His expression froze, and he raised his hand and said, "Please come in!" ”

……

The back garden, quiet and no-man's.

Di Zhixun took a sip of tea, took out a book from his arms, and handed it to Xu Fenglei.

"Taishi, according to Zhao Yi's confession and the list you provided, it is very easy for the lower officials to investigate, and they have a lot of information."

He said in a deep voice,

"This is Xia Guan's note, you can take a look."

Xu Fenglei took the note and didn't open it directly, but looked at Di Zhixun twice.

"Zhixun, you haven't had a good rest in the past two days, have you? The dark circles under the eyes are so heavy, and the person has lost a lot of weight......"

He whispered,

"Tired of this information, aren't you?"

Dickinson rubbed his eyes.

"It's a little tired, which makes the master smile." He said with some embarrassment.

"What is the smile? Thank you! ”

Xu Fenglei patted him on the shoulder and admonished,

"You don't have to fight so hard, you know? Your baby has just been born, hugging the child more and accompanying the lady is the most important thing, this investigation...... Anytime! ”

Di Zhixun looked moved and nodded again and again.

"Yes, yes...... Taishi Xie is concerned, and the lower officials will pay attention to it in the future. ”

When Xu Fenglei heard this, he opened the note.

Dense information jumped into his eyes......

I have to say that Di Zhixon is indeed suitable for being a royal history, rigorous and meticulous, so that people can't find faults.

In the notes, the big and small officials involved in Hou Junji's corruption case are all above, and Di Zhixon also classified the corrupt acts:

embezzlement of public funds, solicitation of bribes, and transfer of benefits.

Under these three categories, there are many names, and the following pages are a detailed introduction and investigation of them.

"Time is pressing, and that's all the officials can investigate."

Dickinson arched his hand,

"Zhao Yi's confession is basically true, these officials made a fortune with Hou Junji, and the expenses of the government are far from being supported by that little bit of silver."

"The transfer of interests must exist, but the lower officials have no right to investigate again, and forcibly investigating it will only arouse Hou Junji's vigilance, which will ruin your big deal."

Xu Feng thundered his head.

"You're right."

He approving,

"What I need is corroboration, I don't need you to make so much effort to investigate, it should be the work of Dali Temple and the Criminal Department after the emperor filed the case against Hou Junji's embezzlement."

What can really play a decisive role is Zhao Yi's testimony! Zhixun, do you know how the "Zhenguan Law" punishes corrupt officials? ”

Di Zhixun's expression was grim.

"Of course you know!"

He said aloud,

"According to the "Zhenguan Law", one foot of silk and one hundred canes are stolen in vain, one horse plus one class, and fifteen horses are hanged!"

"Those who do not pervert the law and stolen silk will be punished with a staff of ninety or thirty horses, and those who take the initiative to 'beg' for property will be punished by one degree!"

As an imperial historian, he naturally knows the law well!

"Yes."

Xu Fenglei patted him on the shoulder, pointed to the notes in his hand, and said with a smile,

"With Zhao Yi's confession, plus your notebook, this Hou Junji will not be sentenced heavily, and the law is intolerable! Heaven is intolerable! ”

There was already a hint of coldness in his smile.

Hou Junji, you shouldn't, you shouldn't, you should not be greedy for me! Groundbreaking on Tai Sui's head!

“…… Taishi, will Your Majesty really sentence Hou Junji heavily? ”

Di Zhixon hesitated slightly, and couldn't help but ask.

Xu Fenglei snorted coldly.

"Huh! Just look at it! ”

……

The next day, the hour.

There was a crowd of people in front of the Xuanwu Gate, and officials lined up to enter the palace to participate in the court.

Da-da, da-da.

A horse came from the north, carrying a man slowly.

The officials consciously gave way and all gave up:

"I've seen the Grand Master."

"I've seen the Grand Master."

Who else can ride a horse into the palace with a swagger, except for Xu Fenglei, who else is the imperial master?!

Xu Fenglei sat on his horse, looking down at the ministers, his gaze swept over everyone, and he paused slightly on Hou Junji's body before looking ahead.

"Shhhh

Hou Junji shuddered for no reason.

"Old Hou, what's wrong? Are you vain? ”

Wei Chigong, who was beside him, slapped him with his elbow and quipped,

"It's midsummer, why are you still shivering?"

Hou Junji elbowed back.

"you!"

He laughed and scolded,

"You can't be vain!"

The two of them quarreled for a while, and it was not until the eyes of the superintendent Yushi swept over that they closed their mouths.

Hou Junji's heart tensed up slightly, and then relaxed.

……

In front of the Xuanwu Gate.

"I've seen the Grand Master."

Li Junxian arched his hand and said with a smile,

"You can enter the palace on horseback, but the routine inspection must not be missing, after all, the court will be ...... Please dismount. ”

Xu Fenglei bowed slightly, turned over and dismounted.

"You're on duty today."

He opened his arms and said casually,

"What about Chang He?"

"The commander of Chang is resting today, so he has changed the last general."

Li Junxian stepped forward symbolically groped for a while, pointed to the cloth bag in Xu Fenglei's arms, and asked with a smile,

"Taishi, what is this?"

"Tobacco, a Turkic specialty, Your Majesty asked me to bring it to the court the day before yesterday." Xu Fenglei showed the cloth bag and said, "Do you need to open it?" ”

Li Junxian shook his head again and again.

"No, no."

He stepped forward and pinched the package, and said,

"No problem, please enter the palace, and the end will lead the horse for you."

Routine inspections are mostly to check whether they are carrying sharp weapons, and this cloth bag is soft and fluffy when pinched, so it is naturally not very dangerous.

"No, I'll go."

Xu Fenglei handed the reins to Li Junxian, and said suddenly,

"General Li, do you have a nickname?"

Li Junxian was stunned.

"Uh...... Yes, how do you know, Master? He wondered.

Why did you suddenly ask about this.

"What's it called?" Xu Fenglei stared at him and asked with a smile.

"Uh...... What is this for? Li Junxian fell silent, his expression ...... It's a bit twisted.

Xu Fenglei pursed his lips.

"It's just a nickname, be generous!"

Li Junxian led the horse and slowly walked into the palace wall, and when he saw that there was no one around, he approached Xu Fenglei's ear and said in a low voice:

"It's not that the last general won't say it, it's really the last general's nickname...... It's hard to say! ”

"But if the master wants to ask, the last general will not dare not tell him...... It's just that I asked the master not to spread the word, and the nickname of the last general is ...... Uh, call the five girls......"

Burst.

Although he was prepared, Xu Fenglei still laughed when he heard this nickname.

This nickname...... Invincible! I don't know how many men are lonely and lonely at night's most loyal companions......

"Taishi, you ......" Li Junxian looked helpless.

He had long expected Xu Fenglei's attitude...... It's too much of a contrast.

A big man, with such a delicate "five girls" nickname, anyone will laugh.

"Okay, okay, don't laugh, don't laugh, get down to business."

Xu Fenglei restrained his smile and said,

"You have to take my next words to heart."

"Although this nickname sounds delicate and soft, it actually recklessly recklessly reckless! It can even kill you! ”

"So, from now on, no matter who asks about your nickname in the future, you can't say, if someone really asks, just pull a big cow, two cows, even if it's called a bull head and horse noodles! The words 'five girls' must not be pronounced again, otherwise they will be killed! Got it? ”

Li Junxian was shocked!

He knows the prestige of the Taishi's "iron mouth straight break"!

Coupled with the serious look on the other party's face, Li Junxian suddenly broke out in a cold sweat.

"Even if the emperor asks, he can't say, you know!"

Xu Fenglei patted him on the shoulder and said again,

"Trust me, I won't hurt you."

Li Junxian took a deep breath and bowed to Xu Fenglei.

"Master Xie advises!"

He said in a deep voice,

"The last general understands that he will not say this nickname if he is killed in the future!"

Although I don't know why, Li Junxian chooses to believe it!

"That's right."

Xu Fenglei laughed and said,

"Keep this secret in your heart forever, and you will be able to preserve your prosperity and wealth for the rest of your life."

"Let's go, Fifth Girl."

After that, he was already drifting away in the direction of the Liangyi Palace.

Only Li Junxian was left looking at his back, messy in the wind......
