Li Nanke has been in the capital for many days on night patrol, but he has never seen the Chief Secretary before.
Although the other party seemed busy with official duties, he always felt as if he was deliberately avoiding him.
The same is true today.
When his uncle Leng Siyuan took him to the small office courtyard of the General Secretary, the guard at the door stopped them and said apologetically: "I'm sorry, Mr. Leng, the General Secretary is busy with official duties today and it is inconvenient to see guests.
"
Upon hearing this, Leng Siyuan's face suddenly turned ugly.
What's the meaning?
I brought my brother-in-law to see you, but he turned up behind closed doors.
After all, I am also the chief executive of Yuncheng, so why don’t you give me face?
Leng Siyuan, who was already in a bad mood, felt offended.
Especially when he saw Li Nanke looking at him with a strange and questioning look, as if asking uncle, can you do it? Leng Siyuan was immediately annoyed and strode in.
The guard's expression changed and he quickly stopped him, "Mr. Leng, Mr. General Secretary is really busy with official duties. Please don't embarrass your subordinates, okay?"
"Either go report again or send me to jail."
Leng Siyuan gave a tough attitude.
Li Nanke was quite surprised.
With my uncle's character, he would not be so impulsive, which shows that he has an unusual relationship with the General Secretary.
Reminiscent of the fact that my uncle came to the capital before to be accused, but in the end he was able to run around, I guess it was the head of the night patrol department in the capital who was supporting him.
The guard had no choice but to report again.
After a short while, the guard who came back from the report said respectfully to Leng Siyuan: "Master Leng, please come with me."
"snort!"
Leng Siyuan flicked his sleeves and motioned for Li Nanke to follow.
The guard took the two of them to a study room with an elegant environment and then left. In the study room, a middle-aged man in a white shirt was sitting at the table, lowering his head and writing something.
The man has a handsome face and looks to be around forty, with wheat-colored skin.
If you look closely, you will find that his left sleeve is floating empty, obviously this arm is gone.
After Leng Siyuan came in, he picked up the teapot on the table and poured a cup of tea for himself and Li Nanke. He sat on the chair against the wall, looking leisurely.
And this also confirmed that he had a good relationship with the other party.
Li Nanke stood aside obediently, pretending not to notice even when his uncle motioned for him to sit down.
He didn't know much about the mysterious official in the capital in front of him.
I only know that the other person’s surname is Bai and his name is Bai Wuming.
According to rumors, the person's surname was not Bai at first, but he was given the national surname after he made great achievements. This is a great honor for officials.
The word "unnamed" was coined by himself.
The implication is to dedicate oneself completely to the court, to have no self anymore, and to completely bury the past self.
It was quiet in the study, except for the occasional chirping of birds outside the window.
After about half an hour, Bai Wuming put down the pen in his hand and asked calmly without raising his head: "What's the progress of Duan Daming's case?"
Li Nanke was stunned.
Are you asking me?
But the question is, hasn’t Duan Daming’s case been settled? Doesn’t it mean that you, the General Secretary, don’t know?
He glanced at Leng Siyuan, who was enjoying tea leisurely, and replied softly: "Back to Mr. General Secretary, Mr. Lan and others are responsible for Duan Daming's case. It is said that the case has been closed."
Bai Wuming didn't say anything after hearing this. He picked up an official document and read through it.
The atmosphere fell into silence again.
However, Li Nanke could clearly feel that the other party was dissatisfied with him.
There was no other way, so Li Nanke could only turn his attention to his uncle, hoping to get some instructions.
But Leng Siyuan acted like a transparent person this time.
No instructions were given.
After much hesitation, Li Nanke had no choice but to reply again: "The lower official believes that there is something fishy about Duan Daming's case. It is unlikely that there was any omission in the sealing of the coffin by the Qinglong Department. The biggest problem should lie with Duan Daming's family."
Li Nanke chose to conceal part of the truth he saw yesterday.
Bai Wuming remained silent.
Just when Li Nanke hesitated to reveal more, Bai Wuming finally spoke, "Do you think it was Duan Daming's wife who stole his body?"
Just as Li Nanke was about to speak, Leng Siyuan suddenly coughed.
Li Nanke understood and immediately shut up.
Some questions asked by your boss cannot be answered casually.
If you answer, you have to take responsibility.
Bai Wuming glanced at the expressionless Leng Siyuan, shook his head helplessly, stood up and said, "You are responsible for Duan Daming's case, what do you think?"
Forced tasks?
Before Li Nanke could speak, Leng Siyuan became unhappy, "Old Bai, are all the people under your command dead? Do you need a newcomer to handle such a mess?
Let me tell you, I came to you today for only one thing. Something happened to my sister on your territory, and Li Nanke wants to investigate, so you should try your best to remind her."
remind?
Remind what?
Leng Siyuan's words couldn't be more clear.
He was not worried about Li Nanke's ability to investigate cases, but he was worried that because of the unfamiliar environment, Li Nanke would find some sensitive people or things and cause trouble.
After all, it is not a good thing to have too many enemies in the capital.
As a high-ranking official in the capital, Bai Wuming must know some taboo areas and hopes to remind Li Nanke in time to prevent him from falling into the trap.
Bai Wuming smiled and said slowly: "First of all, let me correct you, this is not my territory, this is the emperor's territory. Master Leng, you need to use your brain before saying something.
Secondly, what Li Nanke is investigating is a power given to him by the Supreme Emperor, and I have no right to restrict it."
"But you are also Li Nanke's boss."
"Wrong, my boss is the Supreme Emperor." Bai Wuming corrected him again.
At this point, it has been made very clear.
Li Nanke is protected by the Supreme Emperor, and he can do whatever he wants. I can't control it, and I don't dare to do it.
This is also the reason why I don't want to see Li Nanke these days.
Leng Siyuan frowned, stood up, closed all the doors and windows tightly, and asked in a low voice to Bai Bai Bu Ai: "I'm just going to say something from my heart, can you help me with this?"
Seeing that the other party remained silent, Leng Siyuan said angrily: "Bai, if it hadn't been for me, you wouldn't have saved this arm, nor would you have saved your life!"
"Okay, okay, you have the same tone every time."
Bai Wuming helplessly pushed the other party back to the chair, "Others can't see clearly, so can you? The Supreme Emperor needs Li Nanke to make a fuss and make our Night Patrol Department noisy.
When the Night Patrol Division is gone, where will you go? Where will your sister go? Where will we go?"
Leng Siyuan snorted: "You don't need to worry about where I go. It's good to go home to accompany my wife and take care of the baby. My sister has this brat to take care of her, so she doesn't care. As for you, it's none of my business to go wherever you like!"
Bai Wuming smiled and said: "If that's the case, then just let Li Nanke investigate. Why do you want me to stop you now?"
Leng Siyuan pursed his lips and became speechless.
Bai Wuming sighed: "Because you also know that once Li Nanke is used up, his death will come. It is impossible for the Supreme Emperor to bear the anger of so many people. Someone must bear it.
Li Nanke is a dead chess player. If I were you, I would never push my sister towards him. This would undoubtedly push her into a pit of fire."
