Chapter 271: Murder with a knife
Li Zijun didn't understand that Alec Weishenme would suddenly ask about it, but he respectfully returned to Alec's question.
As you said, if there are no accidents, my sister should be able to reach Filano City tomorrow. ”
"You've known Vinnie for a short time, I wonder if you and your sisters have any ideas?"
Hearing Prime Minister Alec's question, Li Zijun was slightly stunned. Before this, Li Zijun had asked people to express to Alec many times that he hoped that the matter between him and Winnie could be settled as soon as possible. But Alec has never had a clear answer to this matter, which also makes Li Zijun have to put this matter aside for the time being. He was originally going to wait for his second sister to enter Beijing this time and fight for Prime Minister Alec again, but he didn't expect Prime Minister Alec to seem to be interested in mentioning this matter today.
"My sister came to the capital this time not only to help me, but also to hope to settle the matter between me and Vinnie, I don't know what you mean, Prime Minister?" Li Zijun looked at Alec and tried to say very humbly.
"It's time to settle down, and it saves people from gossiping without boundaries. In a few days, to see when the time is right, I will treat your sister to a meal and discuss the matter between you and Vinnie!"
"Yes, yes, yes!" Seeing that Alec finally loosened his tone, Li Zijun was pleasantly surprised in his heart, and kept nodding to Alec.
"I heard old Lyle say, you want to arrange Gavin and York to serve in the Criminal Department, is there such a thing?" After talking about Li Zijun and Vinnie, Alec's expression also seemed to ease a lot, and he seemed to smell Gavin and York very casually.
"I had this idea, and they were all talented people. It's a pity to be wasted, but to be able to serve our country. I think it's a good thing for the country and for them personally! I wonder what you think about this, Prime Minister?"
"York is very mature in all aspects, and there is no need for him to hide in a place like the Criminal Department. He is more suitable for development in the army! Most of the people in the northern army are your subordinates, so I suggest that you might as well put him there, which will also be more conducive to his development. ”
"That's fine, anyway, I have a good relationship with General Bob, and York won't at least be treated unfairly under his men!" Li Zijun nodded and listened to Alec's advice.
But what Li Zijun didn't expect was that Prime Minister Alec suddenly shook his head:
"You don't have to go far in this matter, the sixth prince is also a person who cherishes talents, if he recommends York, it should allow York to get a more haode foundation. It's also better for York's development!"
"Sixth Prince?" Li Zijun paused slightly when he heard Prime Minister Alec's words, and then his frowning brows expanded.
Some time ago, Li Zijun declined the invitation of the sixth prince, and this matter will definitely leave some shadows in the minds of the sixth prince; these days, he has been very close to the fifth prince, which can easily make the sixth prince misunderstand, and he has chosen to lean on the side of the eldest prince.
And if at this time, Li Zijun took the initiative to ask the sixth prince to recommend York, on the surface, this is equivalent to owing the sixth prince a favor. But in fact, he is showing that he has the willingness to have in-depth contact with the sixth prince.
Before gambling and prostituting together, how can you have a few drunk experiences!
It is no secret that Li Zijun attaches great importance to York, and he was able to hand over such an important subordinate to the hands of the sixth prince, which also expressed his trust in the sixth prince in disguise. This will go a long way in easing their relationship.
This is all superficial, and there is another reason why it is inconvenient to put it into words. Because of General Yule's connections, York has a special affection for Gavin. When Gavin hesitated and hesitated, this emotion may not be visible. But in case Gavin really made a decision, and this decision was not in favor of Li Zijun. This emotion will play a vital role! It will even bring a heavy blow to Li Zijun!
But no matter how deep the emotion is, as long as there is no support from blood, subtle changes will occur under the action of time and space.
After all, York's loyal man was General Yule, not Gavin, and his affection for Gavin came almost entirely from General Yule. When Li Zijun's image gradually took the place of General Yule in York's heart, Gavin could hardly influence York's actions even if he had any other ideas.
Alec once again let Li Zijun see his cunning, and Li Zijun couldn't help but feel a little more awe of the old man in front of him.
"Prime Minister"
"I'm a few years older than Earl Acheson, so you'll call me 'uncle' in the future!"
"Yes, uncle, I have the heart to recommend Trozer to enter the Criminal Department, do you think it is appropriate?" Alec had already clearly expressed his support for himself, and Li Zijun hurriedly took advantage of the situation.
"Trozer's personal ability is good, and he has been conscientious for so many years, and it can be regarded as the desire of the people to have him in charge of the Criminal Department! You don't have to worry too much about this matter, Trozer is very popular in the DPRK, and there should be others who stand up to support him!"
At this time, Li Zijun finally completely understood the meaning of the phrase 'someone in the court is good to be an official', with the big tree of Alec to 'shelter himself from the wind and rain', many things that are difficult to compare with the sky in the eyes of others have become easy for him. Originally, he was still worried about how to push Trozer to the position of deputy minister of the Ministry of Criminal Affairs, but Alec's words not only solved his problem, but also directly put Trozer in the main position of the minister of the Ministry of Criminal Affairs.
Now Li Zijun regrets his agreement with the fifth prince a little, if he can predict today's situation, he should open his conditions higher.
"As an official in the court, it is very important to have a normal heart!" Alec saw Li Zijun's appearance, and immediately guessed what he was thinking, and reminded him with a straight face.
After Li Zijun, who had received a lesson from Alec, returned to the Duke's Palace, he borrowed the power in his hand and Zuihou made a large amount of money from the Criminal Department. However, this time he only made a hand in the God of Wealth, and he kept all the money in the hands of the people involved in the investigation. Although the case was not solved within the time limit, all the investigators finally came to a happy result.
In the blink of an eye, it was time for Virgil Bixia to solve the case set by Virgil Bixia for Li Zijun. Li Zijun 'deservedly' failed to solve the case, but the punishment that followed was somewhat intriguing, and he did not lose his position as the city warden of Firano as most people expected. Zuihou, he was only fined half a year's salary, which also made Firano City smash a bunch of glasses!
Although the outside world has various speculations about Li Zijun, he himself has a sneering attitude towards this result.
And then, Li Zijun seemed to have completely forgotten about the 'Blood Jade Ruyi'. With Jenny moving to Beijing, he devoted all his energy to spending time with his family and proposing to Winnie.
During the time when Li Zijun was preparing gifts to visit Prime Minister Alec, there was a big shock in the Criminal Department. Virgil Bixia punished Li Zijun lightly, but it doesn't mean that he will also let go of these officials of the Criminal Department.
The original frail and sickly Minister of the Criminal Department was directly persuaded to retire, and Monroe, the de facto head of the Criminal Department, was transferred to the Ministry of Commerce for demotion, and there were few officials below them.
At the same time, the fifth prince's brother-in-law, Troze, entered the criminal department in the limelight, which also made the fifth prince the biggest beneficiary of this dispute. As the fifth prince continued to be reused by Virgil Bixia, for a while, the people around him followed suit, and the fifth prince gradually had Jiashi who was on a par with the eldest prince and the sixth prince.
The sixth prince's brother-in-law, Benson, took over Monroe's position, and he also successfully got a big piece of the big cake of the Criminal Department!
Compared with Shili desperately inserting cronies in key positions in the Criminal Department, Gavin is a little too careful as a small leader of the Criminal Investigation Department!
In the battle of this matter, the eldest prince became the biggest loser! Not only did his previous biggest help, the fifth prince, gradually reveal his intention to set up his own door, but at the same time, his recommendation for an important position in the criminal department was almost completely denied by Virgil Bixia! Virgil Bixia's suppression of him has become more and more obvious, and the relationship between the two fathers and sons has become increasingly tense.
While the Prison Department was at odds with each other, the coffins of the 'Little Princess' and Marianne left Filano without a word, and Archmage Kaye kept his promise to the 'Little Princess' and personally escorted them out of the city with the team.
Standing on the city wall and watching the meandering procession, the corners of Li Zijun's mouth showed a faint sneer.
Virgil Bixia values this performance so much that she even did not hesitate to invite a character like Archmage Kaye to cooperate with the performance, it seems that 'they' are destined not to leave alone!
Sure enough, not long after 'they' left the capital, the Ziqing Empire mission also took the heavy gift given to them by Virgil Bixia and embarked on the journey back to their hometown.
After hearing the news, Li Zijun's eyes flashed with a cold light, and with the two powerful hole cards of 'Mink King' and Baldwin, he had the idea of taking advantage of the fire to rob.
Thinking of family affection, Virgil Bixia is likely to let go of the three Saint-level masters, but Li Zijun doesn't want Shaw, the guy who sneaked up on him twice, to go home safely!
After repeatedly considering the gains and losses, Li Zijun finally gave up his idea. The development of the Seine Peninsula also depends on the commercial dealings with the Ziqing Empire, and he can't help but have scruples about this.
It's just that Li Zijun is not ready to do it himself, it doesn't mean that he doesn't have any other ideas, thinking of the address that Belinda left for him before leaving the capital, his face was frozen with a cruel expression! (To be continued......
