After talking for a while, Xiao Feng saw that it was getting late, so he said goodbye.

After sending Xiao Feng and Xiao Jingmao away, Ling Fei still thought about it, and couldn't figure out why Xiao Feng suddenly came, and thought to himself: "The lord suddenly came here today, doesn't he agree with my concept?" Thinking of this, he smiled happily, if he could get the support of the lord, then what he had to do would be carried out more smoothly.

Thinking of the banquet in the evening, Ling Fei was even more happy, and wanted to tell the news to everyone in the Kuomintang, only then did he react.

"Oops, I almost forgot that there was another feast tonight, and it would be bad if I was late. ”

In order to celebrate the successful completion of the Truth College, Zhang Jiushao, the dean of the Truth College, specially held a grand banquet at the Welcome Building tonight, and as the promoter of the Truth College, it was naturally impossible for him to avoid it.

Seeing that it was not too early, Ling Fei didn't stop long, dressed up a little, and left the Truth Academy and went straight to the Welcome Building.

This welcome building is the largest restaurant in Chang'an City, which is enough to accommodate hundreds of people for banquets at the same time.

As an important member of today's banquet, Ling Fei naturally could not be absent.

At this moment, the restaurant was full of lights, a prosperous scene, and on the banners hanging down, there were also various congratulatory words written on them, which made Ling Fei begin to have a kind of illusion, and even thought that he might be able to defeat the Naguo Party.

As soon as he stepped into it, a man suddenly came.

When the man saw Ling Fei coming here, he immediately let out a complaint: "Speaker Ling, didn't I send you an invitation a long time ago? Why are you here now? Don't forget, today is an important day." ”

After Ling Fei stared at it, he immediately smiled and said, "It turned out to be Brother Zhang, because of some things, I came a little late, I'm really sorry." ”

The person in front of him was Zhang Jiushao, the head of the Truth Academy, who was originally the head of the Jiuzhang Academy, and because he had paid a lot in the process of establishing the Truth Academy, he was elected as the first head of the Truth Academy.

Today's banquet is also led by him.

"What's the matter?" Zhang Jiushao was a little strange and asked in a low voice.

"It's nothing, it's just some trivial things, and it's already taken care of, so there's no need to keep an eye on it. Ling Fei shook his head, but he didn't intend to say anything about Xiao Feng's appearance, so as not to cause everyone's worries.

Zhang Jiushao had no choice but to give up and led Ling Fei to a table and chair.

Probably because he was too happy, his cheeks were red, and he said happily: "You ran away because of something before, but today is an important day, you have to have a drink, don't let us down, you know?"

"It's nature!"

Ling Fei smiled, lifted his robe, and sat down on the chair, and on the table in front of him, it was already full of food and drink.

Slightly different from later generations, the feasts of the Song Dynasty were based on a system of sharing food, not a gathering of people.

And in order to be able to separate the noble status, and also according to the position from top to bottom, a set of rather trivial etiquette was formulated, if a superior person like Ling Fei did not arrive, it would be categorically impossible to open the banquet.

As soon as Ling Fei sat down, he immediately saw the person opposite, who turned out to be Song Zizhen, the Minister of Education.

Yes, according to the order of the people here, the highest status is him and Song Zizhen, Ling Fei was not very surprised by this, but he was slightly disappointed in his heart, if Xiao Feng and Xiao Jingmao could also come here, maybe it would be better.

But Ling Fei also understood that Xiao Feng had always regarded himself as neutral and had never intervened in everyone's arguments, so Xiao Jingmao and Xiao followed Cao Gui, so naturally they would not easily insert themselves into it and arouse the suspicion of others.

The two of them would never have come here.

At this time, Song Zizhen smiled and opened her mouth to ask, "Speaker Ling, I don't know what happened to you, why did you delay it until this time? There seemed to be something indicative in the skeptical tone.

"Nothing. It's just that there are too many people coming today, so it's just a delay for some time. Ling Fei picked up the wine cup in front of the table and saluted everyone: "I'm really sorry for making you wait so long today, this glass of wine is an apology." Then he drank the wine.

"Good!"

Everyone shouted, and they all laughed, and there was a cheerful atmosphere in the air.

Zhang Jiushao also smiled and said: "Brother Ling Fei can come, it is already our kindness, where can there be any opinions? It's just that in the future, the development of our Truth Academy will have to take care of Brother Ling Fei!"

Immediately after, three people raised their glasses together and saluted.

"That's right. In the past, we have always been complacent, if it weren't for Brother Ling's mention, how could we have today's glory? This glass of wine can be regarded as our respect for you. ”

"The three of them are really too modest, and they really don't have such a ability. It is your own efforts that have made it so brilliant. Ling Fei replied.

He was very familiar with the three people in front of him, because the three people in front of him were Sima Ling of Luban Academy, Zhai Mo of Mozi Academy, Xun Yi of Xingming Academy, and Zhang Jiushao of Jiuzhang Academy, which were listed as the four major academies.

Since Ling Fei had arrived here, the banquet would naturally begin, and it was needless to say how cheerful it was, in short, it would continue until midnight.

It was only then that everyone left their seats and returned to their homes.

It's just that Ling Fei was thinking about the matter of the Truth Academy, so he followed Zhang Jiushao back to the academy, fortunately, there were still many houses in the academy, but there was no place to rest.

It wasn't until the night had passed that he woke up from a hangover.

After waking up just now, Ling Fei felt bored after washing up, the council was not held every day, so there was no need for him to go to the council, and the Truth Academy was also regular, but there was no need for him to continue to interfere, so he played here by his temperament.

Since the completion of the Truth Academy, Ling Fei only made time to take a good look at the academy that was born from his hands, and after walking for about half an hour, he saw a person appear in the distance, holding a basket of sacrifices in his hand, it was that Xun Yi.

"It's Shunshan Chief, I wonder what you're going to do?"

Ling Fei was curious and immediately stopped him.

Xun Yi looked down at the basket, his eyes couldn't help but show a little nostalgia, and said: "It's nothing, it's just to pay tribute to someone, after all, today is his death." ”

"Death?" Ling Fei couldn't hold back his curiosity and asked.

Xun Yi closed his head and replied, "That's right. Seeing Ling Fei's aura and magnanimity, he couldn't help but be lifted up of his memories of the past, and warned: "It's just Speaker Ling, you don't have to relax, you have to be wary of that Wang Xuan!"

"Why?" Ling Fei was curious and asked.

Xun Yi was a little embarrassed, and then he felt that his voice was too abrupt, so he lowered his voice and replied: "It's nothing, it's just that I always feel that Wang Xuan is too shameless, and it is really shameful to coerce Speaker Ling with the matter of the Qingyun Gang." That's why I have this suggestion. ”

Ling Fei was slightly stunned, surprised by Xun Yi's attitude, but replied, "Alas. Sima Shanchang can't say that, you must know that the evidence of the Qingyun Gang is conclusive, and many people in our party do have something to do with them, and there is also definite evidence for this, it is not Wang Xuan's fault. Please also Brother Sima, don't take it to heart. ”

"Alas. ”

Xun Yi just shook his head, looking disapproving.

Seeing him like this, Ling Fei was even more curious, and asked, "Well, Chief Xunshan, looking at your appearance, you seem to know something, didn't you have contact with that Wang Xuan before?"

"Why do you ask?" Xun Yi dodged and dodged.

Ling Fei refused to give up and continued to ask, "Hah." I look at your expression, when you mention that Wang Xuan, you obviously show some unwillingness and annoyance, so I asked. ”

"Well, it's been a long time ago. ”

Xun Yi showed a bit of decline, as if he was stuck in the previous scene.

His performance aroused the curiosity in Ling Fei's heart, and he continued to ask, "Oh, if it's not in the way, can you tell me about it?" After all, for that Wang Xuan, I also want to know some of his deeds. ”

"Okay, then I'll say it. ”

Xun Yi replied: "Speaker Ling, you should know that Wang Xuan used to be the head of Chongwen Academy before he became a councilor, right?" ”

Ling Fei nodded and acknowledged.

"But do you know what happened to Wang Xuan in order to be able to strengthen Chongwen Academy?"

"I want to hear about it!"

Ling Fei secretly said in his heart that this was really the case, and even raised his spirit, lest he miss any news.

Although Wang Xuan was his opponent, but out of a gentleman's demeanor, Ling Fei had never understood the other party's character, especially what the other party had done, and there was no corresponding information.

In any case, Wang Xuan is also a member of the council, so naturally he should not be treated like this.

Ling Fei has always maintained this attitude, so he can't see through every move of Wang Xuan, which ultimately leads to him always being passive, and it is precisely because of this that he saw that Xun Yi actually had something to do with that Wang Xuan, and he wanted to urgently understand the reason.

"Since you're willing to hear it, I'll say it. ”

Xun Yi sighed in a low voice and slowly elaborated: "Hey." Speaking of which, it's also an old thing. At that time, our academy had just been established, and in order to promote the reputation of the academy, I often accepted lawsuits and stood up for those poor people, so I also had some reputation in Chang'an City. But that Wang Xuan secretly made a mistake, and he didn't even know that he had found a case, saying that he wanted me to help that person appeal! You may have forgotten what happened after that, but for me, it is unforgettable. ”

Mentioning this, Xun Yi's face was hideous, and the appearance of gritting his teeth made people have no doubt that if Wang Xuan appeared in front of him, he was afraid that he would pounce directly and have a fight.

"Oh, what kind of case is it that makes you so persistent?" Ling Fei was even more curious.

Xun Yi replied: "Alas. Speaking of this case, I was also unlucky, I didn't expect that the owner of the matter would be so mad, not only killed his wife, but also blamed it on the merchant who stayed there. I was deceived by him. ”

"According to what you say, isn't it the famous Wei Ming murder of his wife?" Ling Fei thought for a moment, but turned out a small memory fragment from the corner.

At that time, he had never become a member of the parliament, and he was still studying hard in his own family, so that he could gain fame in the subsequent imperial examinations.

Xun Yi nodded and replied, "That's right, it's this case of Wei Ming's murder of his wife." As a result of taking on this case, my reputation collapsed, and it has not faded to this day. And all of this was made by that Wang Xuan. ”

"Why do you say that?"

Ling Fei felt strange, this case was just an ordinary case, far from being a well-known case, he was also practicing the art of criminal names, and the imperial examination also mentioned this matter, which left a little impression.

Xun Yi replied: "
