Teacher is too tough

The magnificent palace complex in front of Li Qingshi has a well-known name, Zhengyang Palace.

From the geographical point of view, Shengren City is not located in the center of the territory of the entire Daren Dynasty. It is named Zhengyang Palace, which means that where the palaces where the royal family lived is the center of the world.

Common people used to call it the imperial city.

The huge door opening more than three feet high, the vermilion gate is inlaid with huge golden copper nails, the guards lined up neatly on both sides, and the city guards patrolled the imperial city with their halberds. A sacrosanct meaning.

Li Qingshi waited silently. He knew that government orders came from this majestic imperial city, reaching all over the world and controlling the operation of this huge empire.

It was also those flimsy government orders that created countless refugees outside the city whose lives were as cheap as ants.

Just as he was imagining how the people living in the Zhengyang Palace were well-clothed and well-fed, another personal guard of the Chief Secretary touched his arm to remind him to leave.

Liu Bai, the director of the Zhenwu Department, still had a paralyzed expressionless face, staring straight ahead with a pair of dead fish eyes, and walked out of the imperial city with steady steps.

Li Qingshi took a few steps forward with another guard, and came to the Chief.

Liu Bai stopped, turned around, and faced the civil and military officials who came out of the imperial city one after another.

A middle-aged man in a red five-claw dragon robe glanced at Director Liu, hesitated for a moment, and walked straight to this side.

As he got closer, he opened his mouth and said, "Is Director Liu waiting for someone?"

Liu Bai cupped his fists perfunctorily, and said hello: "I have met the prince." He did not answer the other party's question.

Li Qingshi bowed his head slightly like the other guard, and looked at the prince from the corner of his eye.

In his forties, he looks Zhouzheng, and he was a handsome and handsome man when he was young.

He didn't know that this was the fourth Prince Chun, and he was still guessing which son of the emperor he was.

His Majesty the Emperor is now more than seventy years old, and the nine princes under his knees are about the same age. Judging from the age alone, it is really difficult to guess which prince this prince is.

Liu Bai's slightly rude performance did not reduce the smile on Prince Jin's face, on the contrary, he became more friendly, and said straightforwardly: "Director Liu really doesn't consider working for this king?"

Liu Bai remained silent, and after a while, he suddenly took his chin and pointed forward, saying: "I never noticed that Shen Shangshu has grown up like this? He has to be supported by two people when he walks, and he is lifeless. Such a person is in the company, if the prince can make this old man no longer be an eyesore, the next official will wholeheartedly assist the prince, how about it?"

Li Qingshi raised his eyes and saw an old man on the verge of death struggling to move forward. Even though there was a strong servant supporting him on both sides, his steps were still extremely small. The look of dying.

Mr. Secretary's words have already let Li Qingshi know that this is Shen Guangwu, Minister of the Ministry of Household Affairs, and the noble prince in front of him is Prince Chun.

Prince Jin was still not angry, and his attitude was still friendly: "Director Liu is joking."

Liu Bai said with a blank face: "The lower official is not joking."

Prince Jin was taken aback for a moment, and finally suppressed his smile and said, "Is that just to amuse me?"

Liu Bai lowered his head slightly, the movement was almost invisible: "I don't dare, I just want to know, compared with this old man, what is more important to the prince?"

Prince Jin sneered, in his eyes, the chief of Zhenwu Division is just a reckless man, but Shen Guangwu is his number one think tank, how can they be compared?

In fact, he is not the only one who thinks this way, almost all the civil and military people in the court think so, that guy Liu Bai doesn't know anything, he will only rely on His Majesty's trust to be tough all the way.

Prince Jin's voice became a little colder: "You were the one who stabbed Huai'an's murder?"

Liu Bai didn't speak.

Prince Jin snorted coldly and said: "If you don't admit it, then it's wrong? Liu Bai, even if you are domineering again, do you dare to take care of this king's affairs? If this king falls into your hands, what would you do? One must look forward, don't Missed his own future."

Liu Bai followed the figure of Shen Shangshu with a pair of dead fish eyes, and his voice was calm: "I can't do anything to the prince, but I can cause trouble for many people, such as this old man."

Prince Jin's face darkened, and he actually said bluntly: "Liu Bai, if you are determined to persist in your obsession, one day, this king will be the first to sit in that chair, and I will not spare you."

Liu Bai withdrew his gaze from that Shen Shangshu, stared at Prince Jin's face with dead fish eyes, and said: "If there is such a day, I will unscrew this head and send it to the prince."

Prince Chun laughed loudly and walked away.

……

On the way back to Zhen Wusi, Li Qingshi and another guard walked on both sides of Sir Si Zhang's car.

The chief's voice came from the carriage: "How?"

Sure enough, Li Qingshi, who couldn't see any clues, said confidently: "It's confirmed."

The director's light voice came: "Sure."

Back in Zhenwu Division, the Chief Secretary personally convened 48 Qiankun Realm masters to discuss matters, including ten Directors, including Zuo Fengchun.

Apart from these 48 masters of the Qiankun Realm, only Li Qingshi was honored to attend.

The director's eyes rolled slowly, his eyes flicked over everyone's face, and he said: "Assign a task to everyone, Grand Tutor Bai Tonggu, Minister of the Ministry of Officials Chen Xiuqing, Minister of the Ministry of Households Shen Guangwu, the residence of these three people I’m staring at it! I’m staring at every person who enters and leaves their house, where these people have gone and what they have done, and report to me every day.”

The director looked at everyone again: "This is a private action, please keep it secret, if someone finds out, you know what the consequences will be."

The crowd clapped.

The director said: "This mission will be dispatched by Zuo Fengchun, let's go."

The crowd dispersed.

This is a private action, which means that the chief minister did not report to His Majesty the Emperor in advance.

There are countless masters in the Zhenwu Division, who come and go without a trace. With such a group of people, the court officials are very worried about their privacy.

Therefore, His Majesty the Emperor once issued a strict order that Zhenwusi was not allowed to investigate any official without his personal permission, let alone sneak into the official's private house.

If it is discovered, it will be regarded as treason and will be executed!
And the officials in the court, especially the three senior officials with high positions and powers, all have martial arts masters in their families.

Director Liu only asked people to keep an eye on their residences, not people, because marking people would inevitably infiltrate their houses, and infiltrating into a house would increase the risk of being discovered.

The 48 Qiankun Realm masters who participated in this operation are obviously the people most trusted by the Chief. If someone is unfortunately spotted, they will only say that it is their own private behavior, and they will never affect Zhen Wusi, let alone Affect the Chief Secretary.

This is a tacit understanding they have formed over the years.

With Li Qingshi's current level of cultivation, this kind of stalking is obviously not helpful, so he can only pretend that nothing happened and wait for the good news. (end of this chapter)
