On this day, Li Xun was in the study, with his legs across the table, half-lying on a chair and reading. Xiaolian was behind him, pressing his shoulders. At this time, a servant came to report that Fan Zhongyun came to visit.

Li Xun quickly ran out of the study happily.

"Lao Fan, are you back so soon?"

Li Xun trotted all the way to the living room. When he saw Fan Zhongyun sitting there drinking tea, he immediately greeted him with a smile on his face.

Fan Zhongyun chuckled and said, "Now that the matter is done, I'll be back."

Li Xun knew something about Fan Zhongyun's situation. His family background was average, neither good nor bad. His parents died young and he was raised by his uncle. This is why Fan Zhongyun rushed back to attend the funeral as soon as possible after his uncle died.

Li Xun sat next to him. Seeing that he looked very good and always had a faint smile on his face, he couldn't help but wonder: "You don't seem very sad about your uncle's death."

"People can't be resurrected after death, so it's better to be sad and accept the changes!"

Fan Zhongyun shook his head: "My uncle was addicted to alcohol. He was able to live to seventy, which is already very good. He passed away in his sleep without any pain. For his old man, this may be the best ending. I

What else is there to be sad about?"

Li Xun didn't want to talk about these things that had nothing to do with him, so he changed the subject and said, "Lao Fan, you came to me just after you came back. What do you want to tell me?"

Fan Zhongyun took a sip of tea, glanced at Li Xun, and said pointedly: "I have only been away for a few days, and Fengjing has become more and more lively."

Li Xun nodded and told all the recent events.

"I gave the confession to my aunt. Do you think this is right? Will it involve her?"

Fan Zhongyun said quietly: "Even if you don't give this confession to Concubine Li, Concubine Li will definitely not sit still and wait for death. Do you want her to watch her own son being beaten wantonly by others?"

"makes sense."

Li Xun stretched his body and said unhappily: "It's really boring to stay at home every day recently. I don't know when the outside will calm down."

Fan Zhongyun said in confusion: "Although I have nothing to do with you now, such a wonderful and complicated court battle has not happened for several years. As a bystander, it is good for you to go and watch the excitement! It can still be big

To gain knowledge, wouldn’t it be a waste of time to stay at home like this all day?”

Li Xun spread his hands and said with a wry smile: "My aunt asked the old man to watch me closely and not to run around. What can I do?"

Fan Zhongyun rolled his eyes and said angrily: "Although your boy's actual position has been terminated, his false position as a third-rank official is still there. In two days, it will be the court meeting again. You are qualified to participate. This is business. Is your father still there?"

Will they stop you from going?"

Li Xun's eyes lit up, that's right! Casual officials of fourth rank or above are qualified to attend the court meeting. They only need to prepare a case in advance and say hello. However, people like this did not speak when they arrived at the court meeting.

Quan, if you talk carelessly, you will be punished. Of course, it is still rare for people who have no actual duties and are only casual officials to actively request to attend court meetings.

At this time, a servant came to report that it was Zhu Zhengguo who came to visit.

"What's going on today? Either you don't come, or you come all at once."

Li Xun smiled and said: "Bring him here."

"Master Fan is here too!"

After a while, Zhu Zhengguo entered the living room, saw Fan Zhongyun, and said hello with a smile.

"Brother Zhu, the atmosphere in Beijing has been tense recently. You must be very busy at work. Why do you have time to come to my place?"

Zhu Zhengguo said: "It doesn't matter, Yan Yi will lead the brothers to patrol around, and nothing will happen."

Li Xun glanced at him and said, "You must have something to do if you come here at this time. Let's talk about it."

Zhu Zhengguo said in a deep voice: "Wang Qili was taken away."

"who?"

Wang Qili has been detained in the Procuratorate. At first, the Ministry of Punishment intended to transfer them away, but after the matter was reported and Wang Fan was dismissed, the Ministry of Punishment did not dwell on it. In the end, the group of rangers were led by the man with the black mole.

They were beaten fifty times and exiled to the border. The rest of the people also received varying punishments. As for Wang Qili, because of his confession, Li Xun did not dare to let him go, but kept him in Jingzhao Mansion.

He also told Zhu Zhengguo to keep a strict watch on him. Now that he was being taken away, Zhu Zhengguo could not stop him. He did not even have a chance to delay for a while and come over to say hello. It is conceivable that the origin of the person who took Wang Qili away must not be simple, so Li Xun did not

He did not question Zhu Zhengguo, but only asked about the identity of the visitor.

"The person came with the arraignment document, which has the signatures of the Ministry of Punishment and Mr. Liu..."

When Zhu Zhengguo said this, he paused and his voice became softer: "The man who took away Wang Qili is known to Liu Xie, and he seems to be from the palace."

People in the palace?

Li Xun touched his chin, thought for a moment, and looked at Fan Zhongyun: "Aunt?"

Fan Zhongyun thought for a while, shook his head and said: "It should be the emperor."

Li Xun was silent, then smiled. The things had already arrived at his aunt's place, and he had nothing to do next. Why did he think so much?

Li Xun smiled and said: "This Liu Xie is not simple! Even people in the palace know him."

Liu Xie may be at the bottom of society, but he is indeed very well-informed. In some respects, he is much better than himself.

Zhu Zhengguo nodded and said: "Liu Xie has a wide range of connections and has many friends. Although they are all people who cannot be seen on the stage, the sources of information are indeed much stronger than ours. I think we can let him develop in this aspect."

Development, maybe it will be of great use to us in the future.”

Fan Zhongyun smiled and said: "This is a good idea. Only when you know yourself and your enemy can you win every battle. Whether it is external or internal, information is always very important, and sometimes it can play a key role."

Li Xun said: "Liu Xie is still the captain?"

Zhu Zhengguo nodded.

"Lao Zhu, with your current ability, it shouldn't be difficult to promote a captain, right?"

Zhu Zhengguo heard the meaning of Li Xun's words: "It's not difficult, I will do it as soon as possible."

"Well!"

Li Xun smiled and said: "After finishing the matter, let him come to me and I will talk to him."

.....................

Zhengde Hall.

Zhao Zhigao sat on the dragon chair, while Qin Anming, You Mingyuan, Liu Zhigu and Xia Zhun stood below with their hands hanging down.

"Your Majesty, at the court meeting tomorrow, will the ministers recommend the impeachment of Wang Fan?"

Qin Anming raised his hands and said.

"After Mr. Qin spoke out, the minister will speak out to impeach Wang Renzhi and King Yi, which may catch them off guard."

The speaker was You Mingyuan, the left minister of the Ministry of Civil Affairs. Since the Jingyuan Temple incident, he had offended the Right Prime Minister's party. He did not repair the relationship with him, nor did he turn to Liu Jie, but directly moved closer to Zhao Zhi.

Listening to the two people's words, Zhao Zhi said nothing, his eyes were slightly closed, his fingers flicked on the table, and there was a look of contemplation on his face.

After pondering for a long time, Zhao Zhi looked at the two people and said quietly: "Yang Binglin, a doctor in the official department, made arrogant discussions about government affairs, formed cliques for personal gain, and divided his colleagues. His crime is not light. Why didn't the Yushitai take any action?"

Liu Zhigu's eyes lit up, with a look of admiration on his face, while Qin Anming and others were in a daze. They said this, but Zhao Zhi said that. Some don't have the right head and the horse's mouth, and they couldn't understand what Zhao Zhi said.

The intention of the words.

Although he didn't understand what Zhao Zhi meant, Xia Zhun, the chief censor, didn't ask any more questions and immediately accepted the order: "Wei Chen returned to the censor's stage and started preparations immediately."

"The Emperor's Holy Ming!"

Liu Zhigu raised his hands and shouted loudly.
