Chang'an, Beijing, Shifu.

The huge guest hall is filled with rich incense, and the tea table is soaked with fragrant Longjing and ancient porcelain tea cups.

On the walls hang priceless picture scrolls, pictures of rivers and mountains, calligraphy and paintings, etc.

The mansion of the official department is elegantly decorated.

In the reception hall, it was Shi Qing who sat on the main seat, and Liu Ruxu, the master of the six doors, sat on the coffee table next to him.

Shi Qing picked up the teacup from the coffee table, flicked the tea with the lid of the tea bowl, took a sip of tea, and when he slowly put down the teacup, his eyes flickered, and he used a slow and logical tone, "Lord Liu, you and I are both smart people, you don't have to go around the bend, open the skylight and say something bright!"

Liu Ruxu's heart trembled slightly, this old fox, when he was in the imperial city, was domineering, soft and hard, and brought himself back to the mansion, presumably there was something else, and he had to deal with it carefully.

He also took a sip of tea, "Master Shi, I hope you will forgive me for the offense of the lower officials today!"

"Ah, hahaha......" Shi Qing heard this, his face stiffened at first, and then he laughed out loud, when the laughter stopped abruptly, and then said faintly, "Lord Liu, are you really confused when you are an official?" In the imperial city, there are many ears and eyes, and the walls have ears, and the color that this official applies to you is deliberately done for those with ulterior motives, so don't take it to heart!"

Shi Qing's words made Liu Ruxu suddenly confused, the old fox is the old fox, it seems to be cautious, but in fact, his heart is brighter than the mirror.

"Master Shi, the lower officials don't understand, you are ......"

"Hahahaha, Lord Liu, let's put it this way, this official is not unclear, you have been in the six doors for fifteen years, if it is according to the normal situation, you are at least promoted, ......right?

In one word, Liu Ruxu's heart is broken, this is Liu Ruxu's long-term heart disease.

Fifteen years, it's not long, it's not short.

But how many fifteen years of life are there in the past few decades?

In the officialdom, who doesn't want to rise to the top and rise steadily, besides, Liu Ruxu has been doing his best for the past fifteen years.

In order to solve all kinds of strange and miscellaneous cases in the Criminal Department, he can be regarded as having passed his family three times without entering, and dedicated his life's work to six doors.

Originally, I thought that it would be a matter of time before I was conscientious and dedicated, and I was promoted, but as soon as those positions became vacant, someone would replace them. His heart grew disheartened.

Especially ten years ago, the bloody case of the Shen family of the northern businessman and the Luo family of the wealthy businessman in the south could not be cracked by the two major departments of the Criminal Department, which was a big blow to Liu Ruxu.

From then on, among the six doors, large and small cases, if he could explain to Ling Chong and Duan Xiaofang to handle them, he would not do his best to solve them.

A person who is depressed will be greatly discounted when he gets to do things.

Or rather, over the years, Liu Ruxu has been thinking more about how to get promoted and make a fortune, otherwise, with his alertness, he would definitely not make such a stupid mistake - to offend this official Shangshu Shi Qing without any evidence.

Of course, the purpose of his choice to do this was to give credit to Shi Qing and curry favor with Shi Qing.

Once he is appreciated by Shi Qing, then his dream of promotion is hopeful.

Originally, when he met Shi Qing in the Imperial City, he had such a tough attitude, and he was ridiculed of himself in various ways, and he thought it was hopeless.

Who knows, in the end, Shi Qing actually invited him to Shi Mansion to chat.

Although he hadn't figured out what Shi Qing had in mind, Liu Ruxu thought in his heart that maybe Shi Qing would have a chance to turn around, so he happily agreed and came to Shi Fu.

This was explained by Shi Qing to his current predicament, and he had to secretly admire it, Shi Qing was really powerful.

"Master Shi, over the years, he has made great contributions to the imperial court, and he has no regrets. It's just that when I'm in the temple, I want to improve my ......."

The corners of Shi Qing's mouth flashed with a smug smile, "Therefore, this is your real purpose in stopping me in the Imperial City today?"

Liu Ruxu's cheeks were hot for a while, and every word was poked by Shi Qing in the center, and he secretly exclaimed, this old fox is too shrewd.

"Lord Liu, don't panic, this official knows it, you came to tell me about Ying Wuwei's southward trip to Jiangnan, and you didn't report it directly to the saint. It shows that you are a shrewd talent, and this official has always liked smart people, and he has always felt that Lord Liu is a rare talent, which is worth cultivating and cultivating!"

Speaking of this, if Liu Ruxu still can't hear what Shi Qing means, then he can directly buy a piece of tofu and die of it.

He hurriedly knelt down in front of Shi Qing, and said gratefully: "Thanks to the love and cultivation of the adults, from now on, Liu is willing to wait for the dispatch of the adults!"

"Hey, Lord Liu, you must not say this, lest you be tongued that the official is forming a gang. After all, you are from the Criminal Department. ”

"Damn it, the villain has no mouth to hide. However, adults, please rest assured, your words, the villain's liver and brain are all gone. ”

Shi Qing took a deep breath and raised his hand, "Lord Liu, get up and speak, you and I are both working for the imperial court, and we should be sincere and cooperative, solving problems for the Holy Lord." ”

Liu Ruxu got up and sat back in his chair, "What the adults say is very true, and the villain must follow the teachings of the adults." ”

Shi Qing picked up the teacup and took another sip of tea, and said slowly: "Lord Liu, you and I must keep this conversation confidential today. This official will say a few kind words for you in front of the Holy One......"

Liu Ruxu was flattered, "Thank you, sir." ”

Shi Qing nodded and muttered: "As for the affairs of the Ministry of Officials who have jurisdiction over Ying Wuwei's southward trip to the south of the Yangtze River, it is under the official to carry out special tasks. You and the brothers of the six doors, say hello, and you can't stop it, understand?"

"Since it is an adult who assigns a special task, even if the villain eats the bear's heart and leopard gall, he will not dare to stop the adult from doing things. ”

"That's great!"

Shi Qing calculated in his heart, Liu Ruxu, the master of the six doors, is very skilled, and he is in the main position of the six doors, if he can be trained to become his henchman, in the future, to help Mrs. Shui Xie Yaju forget worries against the Tang Dynasty and restore the Sui Dynasty, it is also one more tiger general.

It's just that it's not time to tell Liu Ruxu that the former prince of the Great Sui Dynasty and the princess of Fengyang are still alive in the world, and they are secretly plotting to oppose the Tang Dynasty.

But it's also time for him to gradually establish his henchmen in the court, as long as the former princess Fengyang of the Great Sui attacks the imperial city, he should cooperate with the outside and subvert the Tang Dynasty, he is the founding of the country, and he is in a high position.

That's much higher than a mere official department, I don't know how much higher. At the very least, it's also a feudal prince!

"Lord Liu, if nothing else, the official has nothing to entrust, you go home. In the future, if there is anything that needs the help of this official, it doesn't hurt to say it. Shi Qing can also be regarded as giving Liu Ruxu a reassuring pill and conveying the meaning clearly to Liu Ruxu.
