Six years ago, in fact, it was the first year of Qinghe, and Emperor Qiandi had just inherited the year of the Great Unification, when Ji Qing left the post of director of the Department of Justice, there were actually two versions in the government and the opposition. One is that Ji Qing left himself with a secret illness and returned to his hometown; the other is that Emperor Qian, who had just inherited the unification, was nothing more than a son of heaven and a courtier, and Emperor Qiandi wanted to form the core of his own team.

There are different opinions, but there is nothing to blame, and no one cares about it in the court for a while, because the yamen in charge of the law department really has little to do with other yamen, so naturally there is no conflict of interest, and no one wants to wade into this troubled water to investigate the reason.

In fact, don't say that a yamen in charge of the law department, in fact, it is the same when you are on an errand in the court, today you sit on a cold bench and may not even be willing to take care of you, tomorrow maybe you will suddenly become a hot fragrant bun, nothing more than a gust of wind blowing in the court.

Besides, the change of dynasty is like this, and when the new emperor ascends the throne and prepares to do a big job, I don't know how many people's official bodies are not guaranteed, and who dares to touch this mold to find it uncomfortable.

When Xing Ti entered the Yamen Department of the Department of Justice, he also saw the resume of the former director Ji Qingli, and of course the deputy director Ji Huo must have also understood it, after all, it is necessary to work together in the future, which is beneficial and harmless.

Xing Ti had also seen Ji Qingli's portrait in the place where the archives were placed in the yamen of the law department, but he was also a romantic figure.

At first, Xing Ti didn't think about it so much, thinking that it was just as said outside, Ji Qingli returned to his hometown because he was unwell.

Because Xing Ti had seen it in his resume, Ji Qingli had always had a dark disease in his body, and he needed continuous conditioning with traditional Chinese medicine. Moreover, one of the main medicines of traditional Chinese medicine taken by Ji Qingli is a thing that is unique to the swamps of the Nanshu Mountains and Mountains called poisonous Wu, which mostly grows in the poisonous barrier area, which is regarded as a half-medicine and half-poisonous thing.

In addition, Ji Qingli is the director of the law department and has privileges, so he has not been revealed, and there have always been businessmen in Nanshu who regularly bring medicine to him.

At first, when I saw this, I was a little skeptical. According to Ji Qingli's position and connections, it is really impossible to ask Emperor Qiandi for help, or let President Liu Jingyueliu, who was still alive at the time, inform the Chamber of Commerce in Nanshu to help Ji Qingli bring this flavor of Chinese medicine, there must be no problem.

But Ji Qingli didn't do this, of course, the first emperor and the Qiandi also had suspicions, and they both sent the shadow dragon guard to check the details of Ji Qingli and the Nanshu businessman, they were all extremely innocent, there was nothing greasy, not to mention Nanshu's meticulous work. Later, the two emperors of Qianli no longer cared about this matter because they felt ashamed of Ji Qingli, and felt that everyone had their own quirks, maybe Ji Qingli just didn't want to trouble people, so he let it go.

However, when Xing Ti turned Ji Qingli's resume to the first year of Qinghe and continued to look back, he was surprised to find that the second half of the year was blank except for a few words, and there were only a few numbers "sentenced to write", and there was no follow-up, and Xing Ti clearly remembered that Ji Qingli's official document as director of the Department of Justice was issued in the middle of the first year of Qinghe.

When Xing Ti opened the resume of Deputy Director Ji Huo again, he found that it was the same, Ji Huo's resume except for a few lines related to "saying that he handled a big case", and the rest were exactly the same as Ji Qingli's blanks, until he took up the post of director of the Department of Law three years ago, Ji Huo's resume was normal.

In other words, in fact, by the end of Ji Qingli's disappearance, he should no longer be in charge of the law department, but how can he say "judgment". And Deputy Director Ji Huo also disappeared with Director Ji Qingli, which obviously has a hidden secret.

When Xing Ti served as the director of the law department in Qinghe four years, he went to Ji Huo's mansion to see Ji Huo on the first day of his tenure. When he saw Ji Huo, he was secretly frightened, Ji Huo was like recovering from a serious illness, and it could be seen from his face that he was not very good, and some sickly paleness was still on his face.

After that, Ji Huo has been on leave at home, and Xing Ti often brings wine and meat to visit Ji Huo.

And the most critical point is that the sentence pen box at that time was still handed over by Ji Huo in his mansion, and he also warned: "This sentence pen is the biggest deterrent force that exists in the Palm of the Law, and it can't be opened easily, and the cost is very high." This sentence is still fresh in my memory.

At that time, there were a lot of things I couldn't figure out, and I couldn't figure out the torture mentions, and I had used Ji Huo's words when I was drinking, but Ji Huo was almost silent. only said that Ji Qingli was still very righteous enough to be a brother, and he missed the days when the two of them handled cases together and walked the rivers and lakes before, and then showed Xing Ti a butterfly-shaped jade pendant.

Ji Huo smiled and said that this was snatched back from Ji Qingli's body, so I would like to keep some thoughts in the future, it is said that this jade pendant has always been Ji Qingli's cherished thing. Xing Ti glanced at it, but it was familiar, thinking about what he had seen on Ji Qingli's personal portrait before.

As a result, it was only when Xing Ti saw the jade pendant and its origin that Xing Ti roughly figured out the reason and the cattiness in it.

Then since Chen Bai said that this jade pendant is actually roughly certain to have flowed from a certain high-ranking official, it means that the original problem of all this is actually on Ji Qingli's body.

The sentence can be roughly judged:

One: The resume that disappeared back then was actually that Ji Qingli's identity as a spy was discovered, and Ji Huo went to chase and kill, which makes sense.

Two: As for the so-called "sentence written out", it should be Ji Qingli's work to kill Ji, because the criminal ti had investigated, in the first year of Qinghe, there were no big cases on the rivers and lakes that needed to be intervened by the law department, and the resumes of the two in the first half of the first year of Qinghe did not have any foreshadowing.

Three: Ji Qingli can't beat Ji Huo even if he uses the pen, and even Ji Huo is slightly better, maybe Ji Huo has been chasing Ji Qingli for three years, and he didn't come back until he took office.

Four: The jade pendant should be an important token of Ji Qingli's communication with Nanshu and was taken away by Ji Huo, but Ji Huo did not investigate what he was doing, and it can be regarded as deliberately leaking information to himself.

To prove these things is actually very simple, the criminal mention only needs to go to the Ministry of Officials to check the first year of Qinghe, and see if the various ministries and departments have more personnel transfers than in the previous and previous years.

Once confirmed, it shows that Ji Qingli had action back then, but he was found out by the big cadres, and a large number of fine works were arrested, and Ji Qingli was secretly hunted down and killed by Emperor Qian's order Ji Huo.

Because it is impossible for Emperor Qiandi to bring this kind of thing to the surface, do you think that a law department governed by Emperor Qiandi can have such a big mistake, with the spies of Nanshu in it, so what about others such as the Six Ministries, Yushutang, Wenyuan, and the generals of various places and border passes?

Liu Ming combined with the assassination of Wei Dong before, thinking about the fact that these four countries are still going to fight after all, and it is not peaceful in the open and secret, and it will not be a year or two.

Although it is difficult to say about the special period, but if there is a panic in the people and the whole country is uncertain, wouldn't it be a big deal, so Ji Qingli is obviously resigning from the post of head of the law department, but secretly he is the person who must die named by Emperor Qian.

After listening to Xing Ti's narration, Liu Ming and Chen Bai suddenly realized that although there were many things that could not be said clearly, Liu Ming would not be stupid enough to investigate the affairs of the imperial court.

Then Liu Ming thought about it and asked: "Then is Ji Qingli dead or alive now?"

Chen Bai drank a cup of tea and said: "I said Young Master Liu, do you still need to think about this, if it is true, Ji Qingli is equivalent to being chased and killed by Ji Huo for three years, and even the judgment pen has been taken back, and if you think about it, you will definitely die." ”

Xing Ti thought about it and replied seriously: "It's really not necessarily, with the friendship between Ji Huo and Ji Qingli back then, Ji Qingli is very likely not dead." Most of the three years should have been looking for Ji Qingli's whereabouts, and as for what happened to it, I'm afraid only the two of them know. ”

"By the way, Master Xing, didn't you say that you have been handling the affairs of the Law Department for the past three years?" Liu Ming seemed to remember something.

What Liu Ming said was indeed not wrong, Xing Ti nodded and said: "Indeed, even after Ji Huo was completely healthy, he never helped me take care of the affairs of the law department, and I did all the big and small affairs." Emperor Qiandi didn't ask, so I didn't talk much, anyway, there wasn't much to do with the Yamen. ”

Liu Ming muttered in a low voice: "That's strange, just when you came back from going out two days ago, I also saw Ji Huo riding out of the city!"

Xing Ti suddenly smiled and said: "That's because I ran into trouble on the way back, and I had to thank Ji alive to respond, otherwise I would have died on the road outside the North City Gate that day." ”

At first, Liu Ming thought he was suspicious, but after listening to what Xing Ti said, the cup he picked up stopped directly in the air and said: "Master Xing is sure to remember clearly, is it the North City Gate? I saw Ji Huo going out from the West City Gate with his bags on his back in the evening, and I was eating with a few bosses in the Juxian Building on the other side of the West City Gate." ”

"Hey~ That's not right, I had already met Emperor Qiandi in the capital at that time, and then I fainted due to physical exhaustion, and I was sent back to the house by Gonggong Mu to rest, and I didn't wake up until the next day. Xing Ti thought about the situation that day and found that something was wrong.

Then Xing Ti suddenly understood what Liu Ming was going to say: "That may be ......." ”

Chen Bai listened to it for a long time, and he must have understood what they were going to say, and said in surprise: "No, Ji Qingli is really not dead, then Emperor Qian still wants to send Ji Huo to hunt down and kill, aren't you afraid that things will not work out again?"

Xing Ti shook his head, "I don't know, the sacred heart is unpredictable, and since Ji Huo has received the order to go out of the city, Ji Qingli will definitely be more auspicious this time." ”

"You said how good this position is as the director of the law department, leisurely, supported by the imperial court, and not worried about eating and drinking. Look at me, there are so many brothers under my hands, I have to worry about making money every day, it's difficult!" Chen Bai felt that his brain was not enough, and he didn't know what these people were thinking now.

Liu Ming smiled and said: "Actually, it is not difficult to explain, what everyone pursues and yearns for is different, and what they think in their hearts is naturally different. The more things a person thinks in his heart, the more paths he chooses, and naturally there will be differences. ”

Liu Ming said that Xingti and Chen Bai both agreed with it, and now this world is like this. Everyone in the four countries wants to dominate the world, and the two sides don't know how many spy exchanges there are, and there are countless pickled things.

However, everyone has the right to choose the path they want to take, at least so that they know why they are working hard, whether it is to support their families, whether it is for their ideals, or whether they are helping the world, this is the case.

"But old punishment, just look at this thing and confirm it, why buy it, isn't it blind money!" Chen Bai said, pointing to the butterfly-shaped jade pendant in the torturer's hand.

Xing Ti lifted the butterfly-shaped jade pendant in his hand and said: "Since the other half of the jade pendant flowed out of Nanshu, it is certain that Nanshu's spies will not make such low-level mistakes, then the only possibility is that Ji Qingli is very likely to be regarded as Nanshu's outcast." After all, Ji Qingli is also the former director, and it is rumored that he also has a big relationship with Hua Ji, so the living person is definitely more useful than the dead. Ji Huo also saved my life before, thinking that with this jade pendant, I can let Ji Huo do something. However, Ji Huo has received the order to do things, and it is estimated that he can only go back and leave a memory for Ji Huo. ”

Chen Bai nodded and said unceremoniously: "I can't see that the old torture is still a delicate and affectionate person, but I admire and admire, and the words are all said, you have to give me the five thousand taels of silver of the old punishment." ”

Seeing that Chen Bai's big rough hands kept rubbing his fingers towards the torture, Liu Ming smiled helplessly, this dead sunspot really stretched out his hand under the coffin board and asked for money for death. Turning his head and turning his face to ask for money really doesn't change his face, but he can't change his color when he thinks about it. Liu Ming found out anyway, this dead sunspot has been black to his heart.

Xing Ti reached into his arms, took out a stack of silver tickets, and threw them directly to Chen Bai, and suddenly Chen Bai's face was about to smile.

However, Chen Bai clicked the silver ticket and immediately said: "Old sentence, did you take the wrong one, there are five silver tickets of one hundred taels here." ”

Xing Ti crossed Erlang's legs and looked at the auction in the field, drank tea and said, "That's right, it costs you money to find someone to make up a story." Do you think you don't need money to listen to me tell such a wonderful story in the court, it's expensive, and I will give more. ”

Chen Baila shrugged his face and cried and said, "Old Punishment, I don't have you to do this, I'm still in a loss." You didn't listen to me, I forgot, I want money......"

Xing Ti shook his head and said: "That's not possible, I've listened to it, so let's do it, I'm not an unparticular person, let's subsidize you more." ”

After speaking, Xing Ti took a silver ticket of one hundred taels from his arms and gave it to Chen Bai, Chen Bai accepted it with tears, and said through gritted teeth: "Count you ruthless, you are really darker than me." What kind of sin have I done, I have lost four or five thousand taels of silver for no reason. ”

Gradually, the auction has come to an end, which is not only full of some finished jade products, jade auctions, naturally indispensable for everyone to gamble and pastime of the original stone to gamble, naturally there are also some people happy and some worried.
