In the prosperous and peaceful capital of Dayan, the streets that were originally full of people came and went, and the busy streets were constantly interspersed with groups of neat and solemn officers and soldiers, walking through the streets and alleys, and when they reappeared, they would escort one by one to cry and cry out for grievances, and rush to the edict prison with extraordinary clothes.

Since the corruption case of the Ministry of Officials surfaced, in the past few days, it has been reported that which rich and wealthy businessmen have been seized by extremely vicious officials, and which adults' houses have been raided.

And the initiator of all this, when Zhang Qian, the head of the court, sat expressionlessly on the side of the street still open, one of the few tea shops, watching a team of officers and military masters, escorting those crying dignitaries and nobles, and sending them to Dali Temple or the Criminal Department in an orderly manner.

Glancing at Li Si, who was sitting opposite and pouring tea, Zhang Qian sat back upright, waited for Li Si to pour the tea, picked up the teacup and shook it twice, blew it again, drank it all in one gulp, and asked, "Good tea, this tea was brought by Master Li?"

Li Si, who has long been accustomed to Zhang Qian's unique way of drinking tea, nodded and said, "I'm not used to drinking morning tea on the street, don't be surprised by Lord Zhang." ”

Zhang Qianbian gently pushed the empty teacup over, and said, "I have long heard that Master Li likes tea, and I can drink your tea today, how can I be surprised?"

Li Si picked up the teapot again, poured the teacup pushed by Zhang Qian, and then spoke: "It's just that Lord Zhang, like you, drinking tea like this, can actually drink the quality of tea, but I am curious, the rumor that Lord Zhang 'took himself' His Majesty's imperial tea must be true." ”

"Haha, there are all kinds of people in the world, they don't act the same, the old man has always felt that drinking tea is drinking tea, one is to quench his thirst, and the other is to quench his thirst, as for the rumor, Lord Li must not believe it, if the rumor is credible, why does the imperial court raise so many criminal detectives every year?" Zhang Qian replied with a smile.

"Oh, that's to quench your thirst, how can Lord Zhang have a soft spot for His Majesty's imperial tea?" Li Si asked curiously.

Zhang Qian touched the teacup and said mysteriously: "Since the old man drank that tea, he will never wet his toes again." After speaking, he raised his eyebrows at Li Si, looking proud.

Li Si looked at Lord Shoufu's disrespectful eyes, and suddenly said with a smile: "I didn't expect Lord Zhang to be really, really..."

Zhang Qian smiled smugly: "How about it? Where is the old man, how about giving you two catties?"

When the upright middle-aged Li Si heard this, he hugged his fists and said: "The lower officials have never wet their feet, and they can't use it, they can't use it." ”

"After that, there will be no store in this village, and if you want to use it in the future, you won't be able to find anyone to ask for it." Li Si said with a look of regret.

Hearing this, Li Si shook his head vigorously, "Lord Zhang, Your Majesty ordered you to take the lead in investigating this case, do you have eyebrows?"

Zhang Qian heard Li Si divert the topic, he still looked smiling, and said with a smile: "What eyebrows do you want? I was originally the knife I mentioned, Your Majesty just took the knife back and handed me a pen, you are pretending to be stupid, beware that I will go to your house to investigate the case now." ”

Li Si hurriedly said: "Hehe, don't scare the lower officials, besides, the lower officials' families are not valuable, the old man is busy checking for a long time, and the little tea is worth some money, isn't it a loss?"

"Hey, don't say it, our officials, the upper and lower mouths, the top is black, the bottom is white, is it worth it, it's not a matter of keeping your mouth closed?

Li Si hurriedly arched his hand, "The old man raised his hand, the lower official can't stand the toss, the lower official just wants to ask, where does the adult want to go?"

Zhang Qian looked at Li Si and smiled: "It's those 'colleagues' who want to know, right? I'm afraid it's King Jin who wants to know the most, right?"

"Boss, there are too many relationships, this is not winning or losing, this is life and death, don't talk about them, Xia Guan also wants to know, how will it end this time?" Li Si said helplessly.

Zhang Qian played with the empty teacup, and no longer called Li Sixu tea, and said slowly:

"The old man has been the first assistant for so many years, and he has only investigated two cases, eighteen years apart, when the head of the court led the three law divisions to investigate the case, it is also a precedent, but such a team, the two cases investigated, both ended hastily, do you know why?"

Li Si calmly replied: "Xia Guan thinks that it is not that it will end hastily, but that it must end hastily. ”

"Hmm. What you say is not bad, things are powerful, things are powerful, but the momentum is unstoppable, the old man can tell Lord Li, even if you don't come today, this case will end here, and the adults can respond to King Jin with confidence, of course, you can also scare and scare him, it's okay, otherwise he will climb up the pole, and then this opportunity to win over the adults may not be, haha!" Zhang Qian said with a smile.

When Li Si heard this answer, he immediately smiled: "Hehe, the boss still knows me." ”

Zhang Qian stretched out his hand to put out the teacup, and Li Si picked up the teapot numbly.

"You really don't want tea? I'm going to give it to you. ”

"Xiaguan has been thinking about accepting another concubine recently, adults still don't worry about it, haha. ”

"It's better to be young!"

.........

In the East Palace Garden of Yingying Yanyan, Zhao Qi is blindfolded, wandering around in the thousands of flowers, and His Royal Highness the Prince, who is nearly forty years old, is still a drunken disciple all day long.

Listening to the sounds of frolic in the garden, Zhao Zheng, who was standing in the corridor, looked at his father intoxicated by the flowers with a ruddy face at the moment, which made him sigh helplessly, not knowing whether it was for his father or for the East Palace.

It's just that when he thinks of what happened in the past few days, Zhao Zheng will be in a better mood a little bit, originally thinking hard about how to untie the alliance that revolves around the Jin Wangfu Mansion in the court, but Zhang Qian tore a hole in one hand, Zhao Zheng couldn't wait to rush to the Shoufu Mansion in person and drink with the boss.

"Your Highness, Zhang Qian has stopped. Xie Huaiyue's voice pulled Zhao Zheng back to reality, and when he heard the words, he turned around and said, "So you stop?"

Xie Huaiyu said: "Yes, Your Highness, it is also beneficial for us to stop now. ”

Zhao Zheng asked, "Sir, do you have a countermeasure?"

"Now that the Jin King faction in the court is already in danger, like a frightened snake, Your Highness, this is the time for us to take the opportunity to win over. Xie Huaiyue said slowly.

Zhao Zheng thought for a moment and asked, "But Lord Zhang has already stopped, how can they still go against the Jin Palace?"

"Your Royal Highness, now the Jin Wangfu is too busy to take care of himself, the King of Jin has repeatedly entered the palace since the Ministry of Rites hanged himself, His Majesty has refused to go out, until the day before yesterday into the palace, until now it has not come out, the current court and the hundred officials are not clear about His Majesty's meaning, whether it is good or bad, as long as His Royal Highness makes a move, they will definitely not refuse, at this moment must think that instead of sitting quietly and waiting, it is better to prepare with both hands. Xie Huaiyue explained unhurriedly.

Zhao Zheng only happened for a moment, and then said decisively: "Sir, this matter will be prepared, but don't be ostentatious, Lord Zhang's move must not be to help solve the dilemma, I'm afraid there are other intentions." ”

Xie Huaiyue bowed down and left on his own.

Zhao Zheng looked at the prince who was still playing with Yingyan in the distance, and fell into deep thought.
