"Dong dong dong", Ang Lee raised his right hand and took three shots in succession on the gate of the Thirteenth Battle.
"Who?" A sharp scolding sound came from inside, followed by a burst of rapid footsteps walking towards the door.
"I am Li An."
The door slowly opened, and a captain walked out with a smile on his face, holding a sword in his hand, as if he was extra cautious: "It turns out to be Li Shangshu, hurry up, please come inside. Brother Xiao is taking the brothers to eat
Where’s the barbecue?”
"Your Dongchang is really different." Li An smiled awkwardly and squeezed in through the gap between the two doors. He walked straight towards Xiao Chen's room without the captain's guidance.
Because of the prince's incident, the Ministry of Punishment is now basically tied to Dongchang. These lieutenants also know that Li An was put on file for investigation by the Inspectorate because of this incident.
But even so, they are two units after all. Seeing Li An walking towards Xiao Chen's room, he hurriedly raised his voice: "Brother Xiao, Li Shangshu is here to see you."
As the captain's voice fell, Li An had already arrived at the door of Xiao Chen's room.
With a dark face, he pushed open the door with a bang.
What greeted him was a piece of roasted lamb leg that was browned and fragrant.
Xiao Chen stood at the door, holding a piece of barbecue that Duan Tianming had just cut off. He handed it forward and looked at Li An with a smile: "Master Li has a really powerful nose. Knowing that we just roasted the meat, he
I came here myself. Take it, sit down and have a good drink."
"This morning, the emperor's ruling can make people feel depressed to death. I am still complaining about Dongchang, and I want to enlighten you. It's better for you. Nothing is the same. You can roast meat on this fire and eat and drink in the sea.
.”
Although he was accusing his mouth, he had already taken the roast meat with his hands and took a big bite. He chewed and nodded: "This meat is roasted really well, not bad."
Hearing the captain's shout outside, Duan Tianming and Liu Rufeng stood up together with Xiao Chen. Seeing Li An's greedy look, they both smiled and nodded slightly.
"Come on, come on, sit down." Taking Li An's arm, Xiao Chen walked around the stove and pressed him on his stool. He then pulled out a stool from under the bed next to him and sat on Li An.
next to.
"Master Li is one of our own, you two should sit down too." Xiao Chen said again, looking at Duan Tianming and Duan Tianming who were still standing.
In a few moments, Li An had completely destroyed the barbecue in his hands. He wiped his hands on his waist a few times, took the wine bottle handed over by Xiao Chen, and took a few big sips.
Tilting his body, Xiao Chen stared at Li An with a smile on his face.
It wasn't until the other party put down the bottle of wine, made a satisfied "hmm" sound in his mouth, and took a long breath, that he said: "The grievance in your heart is now released?"
"It's been released, but it's not completely released yet." Li An said, staring at the few barbecues left on the stove.
"Master Li, just tell me, how can I release your grievances?"
"Another piece of meat."
"Hahaha..." Xiao Chen laughed and nodded towards Duan Tianming.
Duan Tianming understood, picked up the iron rod with the leg of lamb, took off the whole leg of lamb, held the hoof of the lamb, and handed it to Li An: "Master Li, just take it and chew it. If it's not enough, there are more outside,
Enough."
"That's enough, that's enough." Li An smiled broadly, took the leg of lamb, and began to eat the remaining meat residue on the bone.
"You stay with Mr. Li, and we can get another leg of lamb?" Duan Tianming asked, looking at Xiao Chen.
"Yeah." Xiao Chen nodded.
"Master Li, please sit down while we go get us another leg of lamb."
"Yeah, let's go and get a fatter one." Li An said vaguely with his mouth stuffed with meat, without even raising his head, just staring at the piece of meat on the bone in his hand.
After standing up, Duan Tianming and the others left the room.
"This time, the prince's matter has really affected you. In my heart, I really feel a little sorry for you. Fortunately, I have found the prince and you are still in charge of the Criminal Department. If you are dismissed and investigated, I really have no shame to see you again.
grown ups."
Picking up the wine bottle, Xiao Chen placed it in Li An's hand.
"What are you talking about? I, Li An, did this willingly. Even if I am really dismissed from my post and investigated, will you still stand by and watch? When the time comes, just give me a hand so that I can have enough food and clothing. Your Majesty is now
Everything is determined by your own mood. It doesn't matter if you don't take the salary from the imperial court." After a pause, Li An chewed on the bone in his hand again.
"If you can help me, I will naturally give Master Li a hand. Not to mention having enough food and clothing, buying a piece of land and a bigger yard will make it easy for Master Li to live a life without worries about food and clothing. But, if I don't have
What can I do if I can't use your ability?"
"Are you telling the truth?" Li An couldn't help but stop what he was saying and turned to look at Xiao Chen.
"What do you think, Mr. Li, of the promotion of Ma Yunshan, the head of the Ministry of Rites, to the commander of the Jinyi Guards?"
"What do you think?" Li An pondered for a moment and put down the bone in his hand, "Ma Yunshan proposed in the morning meeting to control the scope of firearms use in Dongchang, and also cited Ji Gang and Liao Xianghe, the villains of Jin Yiwei, which made the emperor's heart move. Ma
Yuan Shan himself must not be a supporter of Dongchang."
"He is Cang Cheng's old subordinate." Xiao Chen smiled lightly.
"I understand." Li An put his hands on his knees, looked at the oil stains on his fingers, and simply wiped them clean on his waist, "The emperor arranged for him to be the commander of the Jinyi Guards, just to let this person...
Thoughts penetrated the entire Jinyiwei and monitored Dongchang everywhere. And Ma Yunshan himself wanted to take this opportunity to use Jinyiwei's power to find Dongchang's faults and suppress Dongchang. It would be best to get you and help Cangcheng.
revenge?!"
"High." Xiao Chen smiled and gave a thumbs up to Li An.
"Since the emperor's promotion of Ma Yunshan is to contain Dongchang, then the purpose of reaffirming King Zhao's power to participate in government affairs is also to balance the prince?"
"The emperor's two decisions today are beyond our expectations. King Zhao's re-involvement in government affairs is to create a rival for the prince. There will be nothing on the prince's side for the time being, but on Dongchang's side, in the future
You have to be on guard against Jin Yiwei everywhere."
"What do you think?" Li An asked.
"The top priority for Dongchang next is to dig out the stronghold of the rebel forces who kidnapped the prince in the capital and kill them all. And the new commander of the Jin Yiwei, Comrade Ma Yunshan, should also start taking action." Xiao Chen said calmly.
The way.
"According to this person's shrewdness, he should be on guard against Dongchang. In addition, the emperor has just promoted him to the rank of commander of the Jinyi Guards. I'm afraid he won't be able to move easily." Li An shook his head.
"So, Mr. Li came at the right time. The Ministry of Punishment is the most suitable for this matter." Xiao Chen smiled, picked up the wine bottle, and handed it to Lian.
"What should the Criminal Department do?" Li An took the flask and did not drink it immediately, but looked at Xiao Chen in confusion.
"Starting from this person's ancestral home, if anyone who has a slight relationship with him has any fault, Dongchang will send specific information to the Ministry of Punishment. And the Ministry of Punishment will use thunderous means to pretend to be an iron case and dig out his feet.
I think he won’t fall down.” Xiao Chen smiled slightly, as if he was chatting casually.
"But what if there are no criminal facts among his tribesmen? Or, even if there are, they are not very implicated in him?"
"Then I will create the facts of their crime to make the implication larger." Looking at Li An, Xiao Chen smiled brightly.
"Okay." Li An clapped his thigh and stood up, with a determined expression on his brows, "These few things, the Criminal Department and Dongchang have been completely tied together. Even without these things, we are still good brothers.
As long as you present evidence, the Criminal Department will make him a solid case that even the emperor can't do anything about."
"Good brother." Xiao Chen punched Li An on the arm.
Jin Yiweidu commanded the envoy hall, and the commander Xu Kaiying sat casually in her seat.
Opposite him was the new Jinyiwei commander Tongzhi Ma Yunshan, who was thin and shrewd.
Although he was still wearing the uniform of a sixth-grade civil servant, Qianhu, the Jinyiwei who was wearing the uniform of a fifth-grade military attache, put the tea bowl in front of him respectfully and bowed to retreat.
"Ma Tongzhi used to work in the Ministry of Household Affairs. He has just joined Jinyiwei. It may take some time to adapt. The Jinyiwei are all military attaches and captains. Their speech is not as refined as that of the Ministry of Rites. Please bear with Ma Tongzhi." He raised his head.
With her left hand, she pointed at the tea bowl in front of Ma Yuanshan, and Xu Kaiying made a gesture of invitation, with a condescending attitude.
