When Dou Fu heard what Chang Sun Mei said, cold sweat broke out on his back.

Of course he knew the importance of Changsun Mei in the palace. Compared with foreign officials, Changsun Mei naturally understood the saint's thoughts much better. Regardless of whether Changsun Mei's words were her original intention, at least they were words that the saint wanted to hear, and these words

It's obviously completely different from what I said.

It is certainly not a good thing for a minister to be unable to understand the sage's heart and speak words that are inconsistent with the sage's thoughts.

"I'm a stupid servant. What the eldest grandson Sheguan said is absolutely true." Dou Fan said immediately.

The saint smiled lightly and said to the Prime Minister: "Prime Minister, the little girl insists on supporting Qin Xiao. You arranged for Qin Xiao to be trained in the Ministry of War. In a short period of time, you exposed the corruption for personal gain in the Treasury Department. It seems that this

You did not use the wrong person." The voice suddenly became cold: "This case will be handed over to Dali Temple for investigation first. I really want to know whether this is a collusion between the minions of the Shangshu Province to commit fraud in secret, or whether there is someone high-level behind it.

people."

"I obey the decree." Dou Fan said respectfully.

The saint stood up and said: "I have been too tolerant of the ministers in the court, and many of them have become a little unscrupulous. Prime Minister, please work harder and warn those people that some things should be stopped in moderation.

There is no limit. I have the heart of a Bodhisattva and the means of thunder." He waved his hand and said, "The clouds are in the sky and the water is in the bottle. Let's go on our own errands!"

"Old minister, I obey the order." The Prime Minister stood up and bowed: "Sage, what should I do with Xue Keyong?"

"Although he made meritorious deeds in exposing the case, he led the convoy to Zhuque Street and caused uproar in the city. The merits and demerits outweigh the merits. Let him return to Yuzhou." The saint ordered: "Dou Aiqing, you personally allocate the weapons used by Xue Keyong to him.

This is something I personally promised, so naturally I can’t break my promise to him.”

The saint raised his right hand, gently caressed the back of his left hand, and then asked: "How much of the elixir Hong Ling presented is left?"

"Although Master Hongling is no longer here, his eldest disciple Xuan Xiao has been co-presiding over the past few years when he was refining alchemy." The old manager always half-hunched his body in front of the saint, and he would answer every question from the saint attentively:

"This old slave is just in case, so he asked Master Hongling to make the alchemy process clear to Xuan Xiao. Now Xuan Xiao can immediately take over Master Hongling's duties without delaying the elixir refining. Last time I presented it

The elixirs that have arrived are enough for six days, and within three days, the Changsheng Temple will present new elixirs to the palace."

The Prime Minister and Dou Fu waited for Changsun Mei to accompany the saint to leave the imperial study, and then retreated.

"Sage, it's time to enter the elixir!" After leaving the imperial study, the manager Wei Wuya was already waiting outside.

Manager Wei then stepped forward to hold one of the saint's arms, and walked slowly forward through the small garden next to the imperial study.

"Do you know anything about the Ministry of War?" The saint suddenly asked: "The purple-clothed supervisor under you has many eyes and ears, and there are broken knives stored in the Wudefang armory. Don't say you know nothing."

The saint looked satisfied, looked at Changsun Mei and said, "Mei'er, please step aside first."

Changsun Mei bowed meekly, without saying any nonsense, and slowly pushed away.

Manager Wei showed a smile and seemed to be very happy with the title "Old Dog". He said softly: "Although I have heard about it, there is no conclusive evidence, and I have not asked anyone to investigate."

"Why not check?"

Manager Wei did not hesitate and said directly: "I have some knowledge, but I can't stretch my arms too long. There are some things that I can only do as a deaf person."

"Have you heard anything about it?" The saint glanced at Manager Wei and said angrily: "You old dog, why have you never mentioned it to me?"

The saint stopped, his eyes that once charmed the world are still as bright as water, he turned to look at the respectful old eunuch beside him, and sneered: "Are you afraid to check, or don't you know how to check?"

"The old slave told the saint a long time ago that sometimes the old slave's ears are very deaf and his eyes are very blurred." Manager Wei sighed: "As long as the saint is not harmed, the old slave is just a member of the palace.

The old eunuch. The old slave is an old dog that guards the palace. If someone wants to touch every brick of the palace, the old dog will immediately turn into bared teeth and tear him into pieces. But as long as he doesn't get close

In the palace, this old dog will just lie under the wall. Even if it hears shouting outside, it has no interest in opening its eyes." The hand holding the saint's hand was steady and said softly: "The saint will sleep like this old dog.

It’s on.”

"purple

The clothes supervisor protects the saints, not the court." Manager Wei said calmly: "There are some things that shouldn't be investigated, so I won't investigate them."

"who is it?"

Manager Wei shook his head and smiled mysteriously: "In less than three days, that person will kneel in front of the saint. It's hard for me to tell now."

The saint looked at Mr. Wei, suddenly laughed, and cursed: "You old guy, you are getting more and more out of shape." He walked forward slowly, was silent for a while, and finally asked: "Who is behind you? Are you the same person?"

have no idea?"

"The old slave has heard a little bit about it."

The saint smiled and did not ask any more questions.

This old dog is very loyal, but also very shrewd.

"You seriously don't want to tell me?"

"The old slave is asleep!"

What the old dog didn't say, the saint actually understood in his heart.

If you really knew nothing, how could you hand this case over to Dali Temple for investigation?

In this world, there are many people who want to be loyal to the saint, and there are also countless shrewd people. However, the only slave who can be loyal to the core and shrewd to the bone may be this old eunuch next to him.

A saint knows that he will not conceal things that should not be concealed, but he will also not say things that should not be said easily.

This year does not seem to be a year of Mercury retrograde. It has been uneven since the beginning of the new year.

The aftermath of Fan Wenzheng's case has not yet been resolved, and another major case occurred in the Ministry of War. No one knows how many people will be killed this time.

Qin Xiao, who was in the Ministry of War, naturally knew nothing about the affairs in the palace.

When Dou Fu entered the palace, all the officials from the Ministry of War stayed in the yamen. After dark, meals were provided in the yamen. Most of the officials were uneasy. What happened in the Treasury Department had already spread throughout the country.

Officials in the Ministry of War Yamen who knew about this incident certainly knew that this was another major case.

If there is one person in the Treasury Department who is calm and composed, it can only be Qin Xiao.

The food provided in the yamen was actually quite good. Several officials from the Treasury Department were dining in the same room. The others were all worried about where to eat. However, Qin Xiao was full of wine and food, and looked at the other people.

Looking worried, he couldn't help but say: "You adults have to eat when they should. What has happened has happened, so it is more important to take care of yourself."

The officials of the Treasury Department were already worried. When people from Dali Temple suddenly appeared at the Ministry of War and took Han Zhou, the head of the Treasury Department, away, everyone was even more frightened and felt that a disaster was coming.

Once Han Zhou is really convicted, no matter whether other officials of the Treasury Department are involved in the matter, there will definitely be many people involved, who will pass off the imperial weapons as good ones and practice favoritism. Everyone knows that this is a matter of killing people.

Son.

Except for Fei Qiji, who was modest and kind-hearted and had a normal demeanor, the other two officials looked at Qin Xiao with a somewhat unkind look.

"Qin Lingli, can you really afford to eat?" Lingli Yiziku said angrily: "The incident happened in your Aziku. If we really want to judge the crime, you Qinlingli can hardly escape the blame."

Several people looked at Qin Xiao. The matter was revealed from Jia Ziku, and several orders

Officials are not stupid. If they know that this matter has nothing to do with Qin Xiao, they will really see a ghost.

"Not bad." Qin Xiao is not surprised by their understanding of him. After all, he has joined the Ministry of War as a servant, so he naturally has files in it. The Ministry of War naturally has records about his past. He was a jailer in Turtle City.

It is impossible not to mention things in the archives that are known to many people.

"You followed General Heiyu, but the general was murdered in Xiling." Yiziku's official sneered: "The man named Han Yunong was said to have been your boss, and now he has also been sent to the south. You entered the Ministry of War, and in

Chief Han is working as an errand. In just a few days, Chief Han has been implicated by you and involved in a major case. His life and death are unpredictable. Let me tell you, Qin Lingli, your character is really tough. Whoever becomes your boss seems to

Nothing good comes of it.”

Ding Ziku, the official, also sneered: "There has been no trouble in the armory for many years. Just a few days after your Qin Lingli took office, such a big case started. Hehe, it seems that our Ministry of War and your Qin Lingli are really good friends.

Not compatible."

What did the official Yi Ziku think of and said: "Qin Lingli, I heard that you were originally a jailer in Guicheng, Zhen County. Later, General Heiyu came out of prison, and you followed General Heiyu?"

"Fei Lingli is right." Zhou Lingli, Yi Ziku, said calmly: "If there is a problem in the warehouse, you really can't pretend to be deaf and dumb, but you should report it to your superiors first, right? Even if it is difficult to report it to the supervisor, you should still report it to the supervisor.

How can you help outsiders expose your own shortcomings when reporting to the Ministry of War without knowing it beforehand? Qin Lingli, you are clearly at odds with the Ministry of War."

Fei Qiji, the official of Bingziku, heard that the words of the two people were really unpleasant, so he advised: "You two should say less, we are all in the same boat now, don't let your own people hurt the harmony first. Besides, this matter is not Qin Ling's."

Is it the official's fault? Is it possible to pretend to be deaf and dumb despite knowing that there are broken knives in the warehouse? We are loyal to the emperor as soon as we eat the emperor's salary. If this happened in our Cziku, Fei would not shut up and say nothing.

"

Lingli Dingziku immediately said: "Yes, when Zhou Lingli said this, I also think things are really weird. Qin Lingli, what is your destiny? Why is it that whoever is your boss will be unlucky? I heard the fortune teller say

, there is a kind of person who has a very special destiny. Anyone who comes close to him will have no good results. That is the fate of the lonely star of the evil star. Couldn't Lingli Qin be the lonely star of the evil star?"

Qin Xiao burped and said calmly: "Sir, with all due respect, you have followed Han Zhou in the Treasury Department for so many years, and you really don't know anything about this shit? I didn't know anything about it on the first day I entered Jiaziku.

You have noticed the problem. Although you are not from Jiaziku, you are still in charge of the arsenal. If you say that you have not been aware of it for so many years, even a pig will not believe it." He glanced at a few people and said: "Fei Ling

The official is right. You know in your heart whether you have fulfilled your duties faithfully or not, so you don't have to mutter it in my ear, I don't like to hear it."

"You...!" Zhou Lingli was anxious and angry: "Qin Xiao, please be polite, this is not your home."

Qin Xiao glanced at him and said nonchalantly: "People respect me a foot, and I respect others a foot. You are picky and picky with me, thinking that I am causing you trouble. I feel uncomfortable and I really can't be polite to you."

." He stood up, took a toothpick from the table and put it into his mouth. He turned around and walked to an armchair, sat down, touched his belly and said, "Tiansha Lone Star? I really want to be a Tiansha.

Lone Star, you'd better stay away from me, and don't kill you all when the time comes." Feeling that Fei Qiji was a pretty good person, he smiled at Fei Qiji and said, "Fei Lingli, that's not what you are talking about.
