Today's morning session ended in an atmosphere where everyone felt in danger.
Judging from today's attitude of Song Huizong towards Li Qi, who was doted on in the past, almost every minister in the palace was deeply touched. This time Song Huizong was really angry. Fortunately, Li Qi was still the one who had repeatedly made extraordinary achievements. If it had been replaced by Li Qi,
If it was them, what would be the outcome?
No one knows, and no one wants to know.
But one thing is certain, starting from today, the fight against corruption and upholding integrity can be considered the real beginning, and it is no longer just one-sided.
Song Huizong is undoubtedly the biggest gainer today. Not only did he achieve the effect he wanted with his superb acting skills, but he also gave Li Qi a hard time by the way. He felt indescribably happy in his heart. It's a pity that he couldn't be happy in this.
Sharing it with others may be his only regret today.
Alas! It’s time to sweep the streets again!
As soon as Li Qi came out of the hall, his eyes were full of tears, looking at the unique hazy sky in spring, full of bitterness, and of course, more curses.
"You are so rich, why are you so greedy? Let me tell you what is good for you."
Just when Li Qi was extremely depressed, an angry voice suddenly sounded from behind him. This person was Bai Shizhong, who had been frightened to death just now. If he had a son-in-law like Li Qi, he was destined to lose a few years of his life!
Li Qi turned around and said, "My father-in-law, didn't I just say that I really didn't think about this at the time? Who would have thought that the dog-guy would think of using this to make a fuss. Also, my son-in-law
Having already received such a cruel and inhumane punishment, father-in-law, you should comfort your son-in-law at this time!"
‘Hmph! Just be content with yourselves, kid, you really had a near miss just now, otherwise, huh, you will suffer the consequences.”
At this time, Cai Jing, Gao Qiu and others also came over, but they all looked at Li Qi with angry faces. They were really frightened just now.
Zhao Huan shook his head depressedly and said earnestly: "Li Qi, I have told you a long time ago that I don't care if you have any means to make money in business, but I can't take any of these small fortunes from now on. But
It’s not always possible to be as lucky as today.”
Big fortunes are accumulated by small fortunes. Li Qi let out a cry and said: "Your Highness, can this be called lucky? I will have to sweep the streets for a month! I wonder which third-grade minister has ever done this?
Wait, let me see. It should be said that it is unlucky."
Li Bangyan smiled unscrupulously and said: 'It doesn't matter, it doesn't matter, it's not the first time you have done this, you are already familiar with it."
Li Qi rolled his eyes and said: 'Thank you, Prime Minister Zuo, for your comfort. If necessary next time, I will be happy to pass on this valuable experience to the Prime Minister, and I will never charge a penny."
Li Bangyan immediately shook his head like a rattle and said: "No need. No need. You should keep this experience for yourself, I don't want it."
This guy takes it seriously and doesn't want to suffer any loss.
The others all shook their heads and smiled bitterly.
This kid has always been more casual. He doesn't like to be restrained, so it's still necessary to remind him. Cai Jing was afraid that Li Qi didn't take today's matter to heart, so he said seriously: "Li Qi, His Royal Highness is right. From now on, you can
You have to be careful. If it happens again, I'm afraid you will be dismissed and investigated. Maybe other people will be affected."
Li Qi nodded and said: "Grand Master, please rest assured. With the lessons learned this time, I will never do it again. I really want to thank His Highness the Crown Prince and the Grand Master for their help. Otherwise, I would have already been on my way to Kaifeng."
On the way home."
Zhao Huan said: "Thank you. There is no need. I just ask you not to make me worry anymore in the future."
Li Qi nodded and said with a smile: 'Definitely, definitely."
Gao Qiu suddenly said: "By the way, who did this Banana Daily? I asked people to check it yesterday, but they didn't even have a clue."
Cai Jing said: 'Yes! I sent almost all the people I could send out yesterday, but I got nothing."
Zhao Huan said: "I can't believe that even the Grand Master and the Grand Lieutenant have no clue. Who is this person?"
Who else is this? It’s you, me! Li Qi snorted: ‘If I find that person, I will definitely—hum.”
He was originally going to say that the corpses were broken into thousands of pieces, but then he thought that the masterminds behind this were him and Song Huizong. No matter who he was talking about, it was not good for him, so he snorted twice instead.
Cai Jing sighed first, and then said coldly: 'He can hide it for a while, but he can't hide it forever."
Gao Qiu frowned and said, "Master, what do you mean, is there going to be a follow-up to Banana Daily?"
Cai Jing nodded and said: "If this person just wants to take revenge on Li Qi, he can just find a piece of paper and write down those crimes. Why bother to create a Banana Daily? Obviously, that person intends to continue like this for a long time, but I can't do it yet."
Know what the other party’s purpose is.”
As expected of Mr. Cai, he has lived for more than eighty years, which is really an advantage. He can detect any trace of clues. It seems that I have to be more careful in the future to avoid being discovered by him too early.
He must be the first to react. Li Qi secretly thought in his heart.
In fact, let alone him, Cai Jingde's words also left a shadow in the hearts of Gao Qiu and the others. After all, they were not clean either.
Seeing that the atmosphere was a bit dull, Cai Jing chuckled and said: 'By the way, it seems that I haven't gone to watch the flag raising for a long time. I plan to go there tomorrow. If you are interested, you can go with me."
Damn it! Aren't you? People are tough and can't be broken down. It would be too unkind of you to do this. Li Qi looked at Cai Jing without tears, his eyes full of prayers.
Li Bangyan immediately responded: ‘Haha, count me in.”
Gao Qiu and others also responded one after another, but Bai Shizhong remained silent.
Cai Jing said: "What? The right minister is not interested?"
Bai Shizhong smiled awkwardly and said: "Grand Master, if you go, you are going to watch the fun. If I go, I will be watched by others. If I don't go, I won't go at all."
Li Qi said depressedly: "My father-in-law, my son-in-law won't let you be so embarrassed, right?"
When Bai Shizhong heard this, he immediately became furious and said: "You guys have the nerve to say that my son-in-law of the Bai family has never swept the street, let alone twice. I--I, everyone, I'll go first, hum."
!”
After he said that, he waved his long sleeves and left angrily.
Cai Jing and others also walked past Li Qi with gloating smiles on their faces. In fact, they were happy to see Li Qi make a fool of himself without affecting the overall situation. After all, they had all been fooled by Li Qi before.
Teased.
I almost forgot that my father-in-law is very face-loving. Your Majesty, this time I am convinced. I have paid off all the debts I deceived you in the past. Maybe I will still lose money. No, I will pay you later.
Go to the Ordnance Supervision and see if there is any other place there where you can make some money. I'm worth a lot of money. Don't I need to pay for sweeping the streets?
Thinking of this, Li Qi immediately walked away and walked towards the weapons supervisor. However, halfway through, a man suddenly walked over and said in a concerned tone: 'Sir, are you okay?'
This person is Qin Hui.
Seeing the anxious look on his face, Li Qi knew that Qin Hui was not pretending, because if something happened to him, Qin Hui would be the second victim. He said angrily: "Do you think I can get better now? I have to carry a third-grade grandmaster on my back now."
As a police officer, I went to sweep the streets. How about you sweep it for me?"
Qin Hui immediately said: "I am willing to ride the horse for you."
Li Qi said mercilessly: 'Damn! You are so hypocritical. You know this is impossible, but you still say this. If you can help, is it still considered punishment?"
Seeing that Li Qi had found out without hesitation, Qin Hui smiled. He didn't know what to say, but he was always depressed because he couldn't say that he was unwilling to help.
Li Qi glanced at him and continued: "Although these words are hypocritical, they are also the most beautiful words I have heard today. I have to say this in the future - bah bah bah, there will never be a next time."
Qin Hui neither nodded nor shook his head, and could only laugh twice.
Li Qi asked again: "By the way, were there many businessmen looking for you yesterday?"
Qin Hui was stunned for a moment, then nodded randomly and said: 'Yes, they are all worried about your safety."
Li Qi snorted angrily and said: "In front of me, you don't have to pick out some nice things to say. I won't accept this. Most of them are worried about whether I have betrayed their interests."
Qin Hui did not deny it, because it was indeed the case, but Li Qi could say this, but he couldn't, and asked: 'Sir, how should we answer them?"
Li Qi said: "Let them see clearly everything on the Banana Daily, find a few accounting offices to calculate the total value, and then use your brain to think about it. Is my net worth Li Qi's just this little? In addition, by the way, tell them that from now on
If you don't have 50 to 60 million yuan in your pocket, don't come here to bribe me, so as not to waste everyone's precious time. What the hell, I, Li Qi, have never seen the money!"
This gentleman is really fierce, and he still dares to say such things at this time. Qin Hui nodded and said: "I understand," he paused, and then said, "My lord, do you need me to send someone to find out?"
Who did this?"
Li Qi said calmly: "No need, you can take care of the Commerce Bureau with peace of mind. I have already asked Niu Gao and the others to investigate this aspect."
'yes."
－－－－－－－－－-
The next day.
It was still just dawn, and Yelv Guxu gently pushed Li Qi, who was sleeping next to him, and said, "Husband, husband, it's time to get up."
However, Li Qi showed no reaction and slept more soundly than anyone else. There was no other way, so Yelv Guxu had to scream a few more times. Li Qi then murmured twice, opened his mouth slightly, and glanced out of the window, distressed.
He said: "Gu Yu, it's still early. My husband is not a martial artist. If you want to practice, just go alone and let me sleep for a while."
Yelv Gu was speechless for a while, and said: "Husband, have you forgotten that you still have a mission today?"
Li Qidao: 'Of course you remember, you have to go to the weapons inspection today, but you don't want to go at this time!"
Yelv Gu wanted to say: "That's not what I'm talking about. I'm talking about you going to sweep the streets today, right?"
As soon as Li Qi heard the words "sweep the streets", his eyes opened sharply, he covered his head with the quilt, beat the bed board and said: "Every day, your mother asked me to sweep the streets, and I couldn't bear it. Why do you have to do it?"
If I leave so early, will the monarch and his ministers be able to play together again in the future?"
After complaining for a while, Li Qicai reluctantly got up from the bed. Under Yelu Gude's service, he got dressed. After washing, he carried the big broom and took Ma Qiao with him even more reluctantly.
After going out, he really didn't even have time to have breakfast. After all, it's not usually early to raise the flag.
When I came to Donghua Gate, I saw that there were already people standing there, with three floors inside and three floors outside. They were surrounded by water. Yesterday afternoon, Song Huizong had sent someone to tell the world and fully described the incident.
, however, it did not say that Li Qi deliberately accepted bribes, only that he made an unintentional mistake. In addition, it also listed the punishment for Li Qi. Coupled with Cai You's help and vigorous publicity, of course the people wanted to see Li Qi very much.
After all, the scene of sweeping the streets was done secretly last time. Not many people saw it, and no one paid attention to it.
Li Qi sat in the carriage and secretly glanced outside. He wanted to die. He held on to the last bit of luck and said: 'Maqiao, there were so many people raising the flag before!'
Unfortunately, he asked the wrong person this time. Ma Qiao answered truthfully: "It seems that there were so many people in those early days, but after that, there didn't seem to be so many people anymore, Bu Shuai. I think they must be coming."
Just to see your joke."
Li Qi hummed: ‘You don’t have to say the last sentence.”
‘Then—are you still going to do that handsome step?”
Li Qi sighed and said: "If I can't go, of course I won't go. It's a pity that I can't. Just die, just exercise, Ma Qiao. Do you know any kung fu? You started by sweeping the floor."
?I’ll practice a little by the way so that I can protect myself in the future.”
'this---!"
‘Understood! No need to say anything else.”
Li Qi got out of the carriage, wiped his tears, and sneaked along the corner. He had to keep a low profile at this time.
However, things in the world always backfire. Just when he entered the Donghua Gate, a loud shout suddenly came from the crowd, "Li Qi, Li Qi, you are finally here. It's hard for me to wait."
.”
Apart from Gao Yanei, who else could express his joy in others' misfortune with such frankness and frankness?
Oh! Why is it this idiot again? Li Qi stopped and frowned. If what he was holding was not a broom but a butcher knife, he would definitely throw it at that idiot without hesitation.
go.
After Gao Yanei called out, all eyes were focused on Li Qi, the noise became louder, and the whole square fell into a discussion.
Sigh. Now that I’ve been seen, what else am I doing in a timid manner? I’m just sweeping the streets. What’s the shame? After cheering himself up, Li Qi immediately held his head high and strode towards the Flag-raising Square.
go.
‘Damn! Who did this?”
When Li Qi came to empty the square, people were stunned. There were more melon seed shells and peels on the ground than before. Although it was not as exaggerated as a garbage dump, for only one sweeper, the task immediately became arduous.
.
How many years and months will it take to wipe this out?
Li Qi was angry and couldn't care less. He shouted to the crowd: 'Ya Nei, did you do this?"
Before Gao Yanei could say anything, Hong Tianjiu immediately came out and said: 'Brother, this was not done by us."
Gao Yanei continued: "I am not so despicable, and I would not throw away cheap things like melon seed shells if I wanted to."
Then you may not lose money! After Li Qi learned that it was not them, he immediately moved towards the imperial guards in front of Donghua Gate and said, 'You guys, come here quickly."
Li Qike was also the commander of the Forbidden Army. Those soldiers did not dare to neglect, and immediately ran up to the two of them. The two of them clasped their fists and said, 'Young man, see Bu Commander.'"
Li Qi said in a deep voice: "I said you guys all grew up eating shit. Look at what this place looks like. Do you know what kind of place this is? How can you allow people to throw away garbage here at will? How can you still do it?"
Do you want to do it?"
"Forgive me, Bu Shuai, villain - villain -."
'It seems you don't want to do it anymore, very good, I will satisfy you immediately."
"Commander Bu, please calm down, there is nothing we can do."
‘Oh? Why is there no way?’ Li Qi frowned.
The soldier on the left said: "You dare not hide it from Bu Shuai. These melon seed shells and peels were thrown here by a group of people half an hour ago."
Li Qidao: 'Since you saw it, why didn't you go up and stop it?"
The soldier said: 'The villain went there at that time, but--but they--."
'Um?"
'But these people all hold the Privy Council's token, and the little people don't dare to stop them!"
"Cai You, you bastard." Li Qi put his hands on his hips and cursed immediately.
This was the first time these soldiers had seen someone dare to curse the current Privy Councilor in public. Neither of them dared to offend him, so they pretended not to have heard.
"Oh, I didn't expect that someone would be thinking about me this early in the morning. It turns out it's the economy that's making you happy. Haha, I, Cai You, am really flattered."
Following a burst of triumphant laughter, Cai You emerged from the palace gate. It turned out that this guy had been hiding behind the palace gate for a long time, just waiting to see Li Qi's joke.
As he spoke, he came to Li Qi and waved to the soldiers lightly, telling them to do whatever they had to do.
The soldiers were caught between these two giant crocodiles, and they wanted to kill them head-on. Now that they could finally escape, they cried with joy. They bowed to Li and Cai and hurried back.
I knew you wouldn't give up. Li Qi sneered and said: "The British Lord is really interested. He came here so early to watch the flag raising. I admire you. I admire you."
Cai You laughed and said: "The economic envoy seems to be too flattering to me, Mr. Cai, but I don't have such thoughts. I am here to do what I was ordered to do!"
Li Qi raised his eyebrows and said: "Acting on orders? Are you also going to sweep the streets? That's the best thing ever. I'm missing a companion. This isn't the first time we've cooperated. Otherwise, I'll call someone
Can I get you a broom?"
Cai Youjian smiled and said: "No, no, I really want to help you. But I can't help you because of my life. I don't have the financial resources to be so lucky. I can skip morning work every day and come here to clean up."
Street, but thanks to you, I don’t have to rush to go to the morning court recently. I can stay with you for a while, because the emperor has sent me to supervise you. Don’t worry, if there is only one melon seed shell, I will pretend that I didn’t see it.
.”
I knew this was the case! Li Qi smiled half-heartedly and said, "But what if there are two of them?"
Cai You laughed, then shook his head and said, "Of course not."
Li Qi nodded and said: "I understand, I understand. But what about these melon seed shells and peels?"
"These, haha, I threw them away on purpose." Cai You said with an unabashed smile.
Li Qi was not surprised by his confession, because if it were him, he would have said the same thing, and said with a smile: "You are really a villain!"
"Haha, you are not a gentleman! Besides, I am doing this for the sake of the economy. If two brooms go down and everything is over, how can I show the determination of the economy to repent?"
"Really? Thank you so much, Mr. British. You must be very tired after eating so many melon seeds."
"Hey! This little favor is nothing. Besides, it was probably eaten by others."
Cai You smiled so hard that he waved his hand again and said: "Economic Minister, you see it's getting late now, so you'd better sweep up quickly. After all, so many people are watching, lest those talkative people say anything about us It would be bad if officials protect each other."
Hoo ho ho!
As soon as he finished speaking, Li Qi picked up the broom and swept it at him several times. Waves of gray waves came towards him and hit him in the face.
"Cough cough cough!"
Cai You suddenly choked and coughed loudly, pointed at Li Qi and said: "You---you---."
Where did Li Qi give him a chance to speak? He swept harder and harder and faster.
Cai You was so disturbed by the dust that he couldn't even open his mouth, so he covered his mouth and said to himself, "A good man doesn't suffer the consequences of being silent, so he ran away."
Li Qi was filled with resentment and chased after him dragging his broom.
How could Cai You outrun Li Qi? He didn't dare to look back and shouted: "You---what do you want to do? I---."
While he was talking, Li Qi suddenly flashed in front of him and said: "What should I do? Didn't you tell me to scan quickly?" As he said that, he scanned Cai You fiercely a few more times.
"Cough cough cough!" Cai You couldn't beat Li Qi, so he had no choice but to turn around and run again.
The common people were dumbfounded when they saw these two chasing and fighting around the playground, and they rubbed their eyes vigorously. Is this --- are these the economic envoy and the privy envoy?
The soldiers at the door saw this and chose to turn their heads to the other side.
Cai You couldn't run anymore, so he turned around, raised his hand, and shouted loudly: "Stop! Stop! I am sent by the emperor to supervise you. Are you going to disobey the emperor's order?"
Li Qi stopped as soon as he was satisfied, and said hehe: "I told you earlier. How dare I stop if you ask me to stop."
Cai You gasped, looked at Li Qi angrily, gritted his teeth and said: "Okay! Okay! You have the guts, this matter will never be settled, this is still the first day, tomorrow---tomorrow--" --I want more people to come here to eat melon seeds."
Damn it! This is the only trick you have left. I have been worrying for so long in vain. Li Qi said angrily: "Mr. British, you are just avenging a private vendetta! Besides, we don't have a private vendetta! Why bother."
"I just want to avenge my personal revenge. I'm going to exhaust you to death. Why don't you sweep it quickly? Wait, let me sweep it over there." When Cai You saw Li Qi raising the broom again, he was so frightened that his face turned green and his hands He quickly pointed to the left.
Li Qi said with a smile: "As ordered." Then he walked towards the left with the broom on his shoulder.
"You dare to do this when you are about to die. If I don't punish you to death, my surname will not be Cai!" Cai You cursed fiercely as he looked at Li Qi's back.
After a while, the flag-raising ceremony finally began, and at this time thousands of golden lights shot out from the east. During this period, Li Qi stopped making trouble and started sweeping honestly, while Cai You sat far away,
He was drinking tea, humming a tune and looking at Li Qi. He was very happy. As for raising the flag, he didn't care at all.
As the sun never sets, the flag slowly rises in front of everyone's attention. Under the influence of the solemn national flag, the people no longer pay attention to Li Qi. The atmosphere becomes very solemn. The song "loyalty to the country" is also waiting in Gao Yanei.
Under the leadership of the people, the sound echoed through the blue sky.
When the flag-raising ceremony had just ended, someone suddenly shouted: "Banana Daily! Banana Daily has appeared again."
This was so serious that everyone turned around and saw a man running over with a newspaper held high. Even Cai You stood up and looked around.
Is there any exciting news?
Gao Yanei pushed aside the people around him and rushed out. Without saying a word, he savagely snatched the newspaper from the man's hand. Hong Tianjiu and others also gathered around. After watching for a while, they suddenly looked shocked.
, took a deep breath, slowly turned his head, and looked at Cai You in the distance.
Cai You was surprised when he saw them looking over. He turned around and saw Li Qi standing behind him, sweeping the floor seriously. He thought Gao Yanei and the others were looking at Li Qi, and thought, could they be talking about this guy again? Thinking of this
, he jumped for joy and hurriedly waved: "Kang'er, Kang'er, come here for a moment."
Gao Yanei learned his lesson this time and said obediently: "Uncle Cai, are you calling your nephew, or are you asking your nephew to show you this daily newspaper?"
Cai You chuckled: "It's all the same, it's all the same."
Gao Yanei understood, looked at Hong Tianjiu and others with a strange expression, and then jogged over with the newspaper.
As soon as Gao Yanei arrived, Cai You couldn't wait to say: "Kang'er, show it to your uncle quickly."
Gao Yanei nodded and handed over the newspaper.
Cai You quickly took it and took a look. He was dumbfounded. The joy on his face disappeared without a trace. He blinked blankly. After a long while, he said: "This---this---."
Just when Cai You was extremely confused, someone from behind suddenly read: "In the sixth year of Xuanhe, on the eighth day of the twelfth lunar month, the British Duke and the four Persian women sent to him by Deputy Commander Guo spent the whole day having fun in the house."
Cai You was so frightened that he trembled all over. He turned around and saw that Li Qi had come behind him at some point. His eyes were still staring at the daily newspaper in his hand. He was stunned for a moment, then he suddenly closed the newspaper and was about to speak. Li Qi
Qi suddenly said: "Slander, such naked slander!"
Cai You was stunned for a moment and thought to himself, could this kid want to use this to curry favor with me and make me stop teasing him? Well, that must be the case. He said hurriedly: "Yes, yes, this is just nonsense. It's so abominable."
Li Qi showed an expression that was even angrier than him, and said: "Who said otherwise? Mr. British, you are already in your thirties or forties, and you want to have fun all day long? Damn it! This is too fake. Who believes it? Yanei
He is extremely talented, but he cannot be like this. With the physique of the British gentleman, he can only do half a cup of tea, so he really can't do more."
Gao Yanei nodded and said matter-of-factly: "That's true, but how can we have fun? Uncle Cai, how about my nephew get some bald chicken powder for you."
