I directed the Xuanwumen Incident

Chapter 431 Connivance of corruption, crime of decapitation!Brother Yan was frightened

After accepting the disciples, the six of them returned to the house, refilled the wine and returned to the lamp to start the banquet again.

There are staggered toasts and wine orders are rampant.

Xu Fenglei also saw it—Xue Rengui not only has an amazing appetite, but also has an incomparably horrible drinking capacity!

After drinking to the two masters, he still seems to be okay!

"Pain...exciting!"

Yuchi Gong stuck out his tongue, his body spread out on the chair like mud, pointed at Xue Rengui and praised,

"You boy, it's really good to drink! It's up to you... up to your elder brother!"

"Come, come again!"

He was obviously drunk, but he still refused to admit defeat!

"Master Yuchi wants to drink, and this apprentice will accompany him to the end! Hehe..."

Xue Rengui chuckled, raised his glass and gulped down!
As soon as the wine glass was turned over, I saw that Old Hei... was already so drunk that he passed out!
"Tch, trash!"

Cheng Yaojin glanced at Yu Chigong contemptuously, then raised his cup and shouted,

"Rengui, come! Master Cheng will drink with you! I have a huge amount!"

Gudong!

Gudong!

Gudong!

boom!
After three cups of fighting, Cheng Yaojin, who had just finished bragging, couldn't stand still, and sat down on the chair with a bang.

"Oh, that's enough, that's enough, what else do you want to drink? All the cowhide blowing made a loud noise, and at the critical moment, they all turned into soft-legged shrimps."

Qin Qiong spat, poured the hangover tea into the muddy Yuchi Gong's mouth, and hummed,
"I have to wipe my butt with my brother."

"Benevolence!"

He yelled, and Xue Rengui ran up immediately.

"Go, I'll make you Master Cheng a cup of tea too, and the two of us will carry it to the sedan chair for them."

Qin Qiong ordered,
"It's getting late, it's time to return to the cage."

"Yes." Xue Rengui obeyed obediently, quickly poured tea for Cheng Yaojin, carried him on his back and ran out, and there was no one in the blink of an eye.

Qin Qiong blinked.

"Young people are good..."

With a sigh of emotion, he immediately took Yu Chigong's arm and carried it on his shoulder.

Ho!
With a lump of heavy meat on his shoulder, Qin Qiong gritted his teeth and exerted strength.

Up!
"I'm old, I'm old... I can't accept my old age!"

After adjusting a comfortable posture, he couldn't help but shook his head and sighed, bent over and waved towards Xu Fenglei and Li Jing,
"Teacher, Daigong, let's go!"

Xu Fenglei and Li Jing were drinking tea, and they both got up to see them off.

"Teacher, it's getting late, and I'm taking my leave too."

Walking to the door, watching the three generals leave, Li Jing also cupped his hands,

"Thank you for your hospitality, sorry for the trouble."

"Where is it?" Xu Fenglei waved his hand and smiled, "I heard that there are some good horses in the Yaoshi's mansion. If there is a chance in the future, I will definitely visit the door."

Li Jing laughed when he heard this.

"It's easy to say, easy to say, I don't like to serve people, I like to serve horses."

he said,

"At that time, if the grand master likes something, I will give you two horses!"

The two were polite for a few moments, Li Jing looked at Xue Rengui again, and said seriously:

"Rengui, I will send you a volume of military books tomorrow. You should read it carefully first, try to understand it, and write down the things you don't understand."

"After a while, I will examine you as a teacher."

For Xue Rengui, a new apprentice, he obviously has a heart.

"Yes, Master."

Xue Rengui also looked solemn and bowed respectfully.

Li Jing nodded slightly, raised his legs and got on the carriage.

beep, beep...

Xu Fenglei also breathed a sigh of relief as the wheels rolled away.

"Brother...are you tired?"

Xue Rengui glanced over and said cautiously.

Xu Fenglei touched his arms and took out a cigarette.

"Ask someone to do something... how can I not be tired? Your eldest brother, I have always been the worst at socializing."

He took out the fire pocket, lightly lit the cigarette, took a deep breath, and exhaled slowly,

"This time for you, but this face has been pulled down, and the benefits have been exchanged for several waves!"

"You kid, you have to live up to your expectations, and you can't lose the chain!"

Xue Rengui was shocked!
"Brother..." He looked moved, and was about to bow down, but was stopped by Xu Fenglei.

"Don't go through all that red tape, it will only increase the distance between us."

Xu Fenglei exhaled a puff of cigarette, held the cigarette in his hand, patted his shoulder and smiled,

"What we want is caring."

"Go, go to rest! Listen to your master and the others tomorrow, and eat a fat sheep! Don't worry about what the sisters in the house say, they are teasing you!"

"Yes!" Xue Rengui's voice was sonorous and his gaze was firm.

The elder brother treats me so well, and the masters value me so much... If I can learn from myself, who will I be worthy of?
"By the way, big brother...just now Master Yuchi asked you to ask for cigarettes, didn't you say that you handed them all over to His Majesty?"

Xue Rengui raised his eyes suddenly, and said with a smile,
"So there are still..."

Snapped!
Xu Fenglei slapped him on the head.

"You're stupid! Of course you can't tell the truth to that old guy, or I'll be annoyed to death by him!"

He laughed and scolded,

"Remember, this is a secret. Don't just turn your elbows away if you recognize Master. Your elder brother will always be your dearest elder brother! Do you hear me?"

At the dinner table just now, Yu Chigong yelled several times.

If he knew that he still had this in stock, he wouldn't have to visit the door every day to harass it?
"Yes!

"Little brother, I won't say anything even if I beat him to death!"

Xue Rengui straightened his body and swore to the sky.

"Come on, let's go!"

Xu Fenglei waved his hand and said,
"This thing is not a rare treasure, and it won't be long before it can be seen everywhere."

"I guess those Turkic pharmacists are about to find it..."

……

a few days later.

Imperial City, the lobby of the Ministry of Industry.

pat, pat.

The two brothers Yan Liben and Yan Lide were standing like this at the moment, beady beads of sweat dripping down drop by drop.

Although no one was sitting in the seat in front of the two of them, the room was already filled with a sense of oppression.

At least for them... very oppressive!

Da da.

The sound of gentle footsteps came from behind, making the two of them tighten their chrysanthemums.

"Why are you standing there stupidly?"

A familiar voice came, and Xu Fenglei walked to the main seat step by step with his hands behind his back and sat down.

There was no emotion in his voice, and his expression was very calm.

But it was this kind of calm that made the two brothers even more uncertain!
Instead, they hope to be scolded head-on and face-to-face!It's not that stressful...

"Minister, Ministry Master..."

Yan Lide wiped the sweat from his forehead and said with difficulty,

"Your official... I am convicted!"

Pfft!
After the words fell, he actually knelt down in front of Xu Fenglei!

"The next official is guilty!"

The older brother took the lead in pleading guilty, but Yan Liben knelt down and bowed his head with a clang.

"Ah."

Xu Fenglei picked up a dossier casually, and said casually,

"What's the crime?"

Yan Lide bowed his head and cupped his hands, tremblingly said:
"Chang'an Academy is a key project of the Ministry of Industry, and there is corruption in it! This... This is really a dereliction of duty by a subordinate official, a serious dereliction of duty!"

"Please minister... punish!"

Yan Liben also lowered his head, with a bitter look on his face.

They also never expected it!

The school project that the minister valued the most, there has been a serious corruption behavior of deducting workers' wages and meals!

And this...was found out during the private visit of Bu Zun's Weibo.

This is even more terrifying...

Snapped!
"Punishment?"

Xu Fenglei slapped the file in his hand on the table, and said calmly,
"When something like this happens, how can I have the right to punish you?"

"Such a scandal happened in the Ministry of Industry. Even I, the Minister, cannot escape the blame. I have to plead guilty to the emperor—but."

Looking at the two people kneeling on the ground trembling, he slowly got up.

"I still have a reason. After all, I was leading troops outside a while ago. It is normal to be negligent. Your Majesty can understand and understand, but what about you?"

Xu Fenglei stared at the two, leaned forward slightly, and said lightly,
"You are here in Chang'an City. Things are happening right under your noses, but you don't realize it, allowing corruption to breed."

"I'm afraid I can't escape the guilt..."

"To put it in a small way, you are guilty of negligence; to say it in a big way, you are condoning corruption."

"According to the "Law of Zhenguan", official corruption and cover-up and condoning corruption are the same crime, and both are crimes of beheading. You... prepare for the worst plan!"

Yan Lide: "!!!"

Yan Liben: "!!!"

"Buzun, Buzun help!"

Yan Lide trembled with fright, and wept bitterly,
"The lower officials definitely don't condone corruption on purpose! The lower officials are too busy! There are so many things to deal with every day... People, people are dizzy!"

"Minister..."

He was really about to freak out.

After working hard for so long, suddenly such an indiscriminate disaster came, and it was an indiscriminate disaster of extinction!
Who can stand this?

"Ministry, what my brother said is the truth, we are definitely not vegetarians, and we dare not condone corruption! The Ministry of Industry has too many official duties!"

Yan Liben raised his head and cupped his hands,

"My brother and I have not had a vacation for more than half a year! We have devoted ourselves to our official duties!"

"Minister, please... be careful!"

Xu Fenglei's expression softened a bit when he heard the two brothers' cries of grievance.

As officials, they have holidays, and they can take a bath every ten days, which is three days off in a month.

And these two brothers seem to have become liver emperors, so they have less rest time, and they have to work overtime!

What kind of spirit is this?

The donkeys of the production team will be crushed to death by them!
"Dizzy, busy with business, this is not an excuse, not a reason!"

Xu Fenglei flicked his sleeves violently, and said sharply,

"Why don't you tell your majesty, tell those admonishers! See if they are willing to understand you, if they are willing to be considerate of you!"

"I know you are very wronged, but things have already happened, and it is useless to complain! We can only find a way to solve it! Understand?!"

His tone rose an octave and his expression was stern.

The expressions of the two brothers relaxed.

As long as Bu Zun is willing to get angry... getting angry means that he can still be saved.

The calm and indifferent appearance just now is scary!

"The lower official understands! Please show me!"

Yan Lide hurriedly said,
"Whatever you tell us to do, we will do!"

Xu Fenglei sat down again.

"Get up, what are you still kneeling for? Tell people to see a joke?"

He raised his hand and said.

"Yes, yes, Xie Buzun..."

As if they had been pardoned, the two hurriedly stood up.

"This corruption incident, from the moment it appears, don't try to hide it, suppress it, it will only make the situation worse."

Xu Fenglei took a sip of tea and said,

"Check it out, check him out! Do the right thing, clean up those moths, ensure your innocence, and ensure that such scandals will not happen again in the future, that is the right way!"

"That's why I sent the two of them directly to the Ministry of Punishment."

The two nodded in succession.

"You two work hard and conscientiously, I can see it all,"

Xu Fenglei said softly,

"So, I believe that your character will not have anything to do with this matter. You are just unlucky at best."

"Your Majesty, I will make it clear, try to reduce your crimes as much as possible, convict them of negligence, and just pay a fine."

Yan Lide burst into tears immediately.

Yan Liben's eyes were also red.

At the critical moment, the minister chose to trust them unconditionally and speak for them!

So impressed!

Scholars die for their confidantes. At this moment, as long as Xu Fenglei says a word, let them go up the mountain of swords and down into the sea of ​​fire, they won't even frown!

"Did you find anything over there at the Ministry of Punishment?"

Xu Fenglei asked.

"Hui Buzun, I have replied."

Yan Liben said,

"Under the heavy punishments imposed by the Ministry of Criminal Justice, both of them have pleaded guilty. They indeed withheld workers' wages and food expenses to fill their own pockets."

"In the past few months, a total of thousands of taels of silver have been embezzled, and most of them have been embezzled by the chief surnamed Zhao, and the rest of the people are only greedy for petty profits."

Xu Fenglei suddenly understood.

"Looking at it this way, it seems that this matter...is very simple?"

He stroked his chin and murmured,

"It's all because this Master Zhao is a thug and pocketed money?"

Yan Liben hesitated for a moment.

"It seems...that's it."

he said,

"According to the Ministry of Punishment, it is true that thousands of taels of silver were found in the home of the principal surnamed Zhao, and the amount is comparable."

"Now, the case has entered the closing stage, and the opinion of the Ministry of Punishment is to be dismissed and sentenced to death! As long as His Majesty agrees to a decision, the sentence can be executed."

Xu Fenglei stroked his chin lightly.

"The efficiency of the Ministry of Punishment... When did it become so fast?"

He said with a half-smile, "In the past, if a case dragged on for three to five months, there would be no progress at all. This time it's good...the progress has been rapid."

Yan Liben was taken aback. "Maybe it's because the Ministry of Justice sent these two prisoners in person, so the Ministry of Punishment dare not neglect?"

He guessed, "After all, your reputation..."

"Wait..." Yan Lide raised his head and said, "Buzun, what do you mean...is there something strange here?"

Xu Fenglei nodded.

"I know the peeing nature of those guys in the Ministry of Justice. My name can put pressure on them. I believe that, but—"

He said slowly,

"This case is so beautifully handled, I always feel that something is wrong... It feels a bit deliberate."

There was silence in the hall. "Li De."

Xu Fenglei said suddenly, "Go to the construction site now and check the quantities of various building materials to see if they match and if there are any cut corners."

"Yes!"

Yan Lide's heart was shocked, and he responded quickly.

"Liben."

Xu Fenglei got up and ordered,

"You follow me to the Ministry of Criminal Justice now, and I want to see with my own eyes how they handle the case."

"Let's go, go now!"

Swish.

All three of them took a step and left the lobby of the Ministry of Industry!
