Tibet.

Chapter 188
At noon the next day, Yuan Xiao found Li Ye again. This time they were not in the previous Sanyuan Tavern, but changed to a high-end restaurant. They sat down by the window on the second floor, and Li Ye ordered a few drinks. and a jug of wine.

Yuan Xiao pondered for a while and said, "My grandfather is willing to cooperate, what should we do?"

Li Ye said with a faint smile: "The most important thing for an official is virtue. If his virtue is bad, he is not qualified to be in a high position. This virtue is not only for himself, but also for his family. If it is not enough, then Yu Wenjing will not be able to take the position."

Yuan Xiao snorted coldly, "He has done countless evil deeds, and no less than 30 innocent people died at his hands."

As he said that, Yuan Xiao put a prepared booklet on the table and pushed it to Li Ye, "These are the detailed information on his crimes. To tell you the truth, I usually collect them, but I am afraid of being dragged down by him."

Li Ye sneered in his heart, this Yuan Xiao is really scheming, Yuwen Siwu has such a friend, it must be his retribution!
He flipped through the brochures, and found that it was basically an incident where the people at the bottom were killed by Yuwen Siwu. This kind of criminal case actually had little impact, and at most Yuwen Siwu could not escape the responsibility.

As for Yu Wenjing, he only needs to write a statement to sever the relationship between his grandparents and grandchildren. At most, Yuwen Siwu's father will bear some responsibility, but it will not affect the position of prime minister.

In the words of my grandfather, even if the lining can still cover it, it won't affect my face.

Li Ye pondered for a while and said: "I still want some heavy-weight things. If they are all criminal cases of ordinary people, it won't be too shocking."

Yuan Xiao said slowly: "There is one more thing that he bragged about. When he was on duty at night, he had affairs with several concubines. His superior should know the specific situation."

He actually had an affair with the concubine, the news was very shocking, Li Ye quickly asked, "Who is his boss?"

"Master Cui Jiaju, Honorary Guard!"

This bastard really didn't use the bottom line, he dared to mess with the emperor's woman, he was really going to die, seeing Yuan Xiao hesitate to speak, Li Ye knew that he still had a secret.

"Brother Yuan, if the wolf is not killed, once it bites back, the consequences will be very serious."

Yuan Xiao understood Li Ye's meaning and nodded silently.

"One more thing, Yuwen Siwu said casually last year. Our Shenlong Party chatted together and said that we wanted to get some weapons. He said that there were all kinds of weapons in his manor, including thousands of spears and crossbows. There are also hundreds of them, and there are also armors."

This is really a big problem, but Li Ye is a little strange, what is the Yuwen family hoarding weapons for?
After thinking about it, Li Ye suddenly remembered what Pei Min said back then, that there are signs of chaos in the world, and many big families in Hedong and Hebei are making preparations.

The Yuwen family must also be preparing for self-protection when the world is in chaos, but it can do many things that others cannot do. The Pei family can stockpile weapons to prevent bandits, and the court will not pursue it, but the Yuwen family is the royal family of the Northern Zhou Dynasty!

What does it mean for them to prepare weapons?Can it be the same as other families?

Thinking of this, Li Ye asked anxiously, "Where is the manor?"

"In Linfen County, Jinzhou, Hedong."

Li Ye nodded, "I'll take care of the rest, and you don't have to worry about it. The Yuan family will never be involved in this matter."

Yuan Xiao smiled wryly. Although he didn't say anything, Yu Wenjing could definitely guess that it was related to the Yuan family.

While Li Ye and Yuan Xiao were discussing specific cooperation, Li Linfu also invited Zhang Jun to have lunch together in the Anranju Restaurant next to Guangzhaifang of Daming Palace.

Zhang Jun felt a little uneasy, because of his father, he had kept a distance from Li Linfu all these years, and even when they met, they only talked about business. It was the first time in more than ten years that Li Linfu invited him to dinner alone.

In fact, Zhang Jun had already vaguely guessed what was going on. The case of Sun Jiliang must have been that he acted as a villain for the Yang family once, and asked his youngest son Zhang Yan, who was studying in Taixue, to invite Li Ye to a banquet. It happened that Sun Jiliang case.

However, Zhang Jun was also very dissatisfied with the Yang family. In such a simple case, he messed up the most critical evidence. In the end, Li Linfu couldn't bring it down, and even caused a lot of trouble. No, Li Linfu found himself.

Zhang Jun also made up his mind to pay attention, no matter what Li Linfu said, he firmly refused to admit it.

Li Linfu laughed and said, "I heard that Zhang Shangshu was sent to the study room last night?"

Zhang Jun is also notoriously fearful of internal affairs. His wife is from the Yuan family of Guanlong, not Yuan Yuan, but she is also the daughter of a wealthy and powerful family. She is very powerful and has given birth to three sons for Zhang Jun. In addition, Zhang Jun is a literati with a slightly weak personality. Fear of guilt is also normal.

Zhang Jun blushed, and said a little displeased: "The Prime Minister should not believe such rumors that are fabricated out of nothing, and don't listen to them. It will affect the Prime Minister's handling of state affairs."

Zhang Jun's implication is that you are a dignified prime minister, why do you care about other people's family affairs?
Li Linfu still smiled and said: "I guess it's because you didn't keep the secret well enough to let Madam know about Yongda Square."

Zhang Jun suddenly broke out in a cold sweat. Yongda Fang has raised a granny for several years, and she has always kept it secret. How could Li Linfu know?
"Where does this start from?"

Li Linfu laughed loudly, Zhang Jun was very embarrassed, he was in shock and doubts, he didn't care about eating, so he hurriedly excused something at home and left.

Li Linfu walked to the window with his hands behind his back, and watched Zhang Jun's carriage go away, his smile turned cold, his own path had been paved for him, if he refused to leave, then don't blame yourself for being cruel.

At this time, the confidant guard Wang Kuan said at the door of the elegant room: "I want to report to the Prime Minister, 38 Lang is here, saying that there is something urgent!"

Li Linfu stayed at the Anranju Restaurant at noon. He was actually waiting for the news of his grandson Li Ye. He was also very anxious. He felt that the Holy Majesty was about to announce his candidate today and tomorrow.

Once the Holy Majesty announced that he would deal with Yu Wenjing, it would be slapping the Holy Majesty in the face. Even if Yu Wenjing was overthrown, he would also offend the Emperor, and his position would not be guaranteed.

He had to attack before the holy majesty announced.

Li Linfu nodded, "Let him in!"

Li Ye walked in quickly and paid homage, Li Linfu hurriedly said: "Don't be too polite, come and sit down."

Li Ye sat down, and Li Linfu asked expectantly: "How is it, did Yuan Xiao give it?"

Li Ye nodded, and took out the booklet from his arms and handed it to his grandfather. Li Linfu immediately breathed a sigh of relief, and quickly took the booklet for a closer look.

After reading it hastily, his brows gradually furrowed again. Although these incidents were bad, at most they were dealt with by the government, and they were not to the point of alarming the emperor. To put it bluntly, they were not strong enough.

"that's it?"

Li Ye hurriedly leaned forward and said, "There are two more important events to dictate!"

"you say!"

Li Ye said slowly: "Yuan Xiao said that Yuwen Siwu may have had an affair with the concubine during his time as a guard!"

Li Linfu's eyes narrowed. This was a big event. He asked, "Is there any evidence?"

"Yuan Xiao didn't know the specifics, but he told me that Yuwen Siwu's boss Cui Jiaju knew about it."

It would be easy for those who knew the matter, and Li Linfu remembered the name Cui Jiaju in his heart.

He asked again: "Is there another major event?"

"Another important event is that there are a large number of weapons stored in the Yuwen family's manor!"

Li Linfu cheered up, this information is valuable, who is the Yuwen family, descendants of the Northern Zhou royal family, they secretly store weapons, the trouble is not so big.

"The Yuwen family has several manors, which one is it?"

"Yuan Xiao said it was the one in Linfen, Hedong!"

Li Linfu pondered for a moment, and finally remembered that the Golden Deer Manor in Hedong is indeed located in Linfen.

Li Ye said cautiously again: "Grandfather, can we send someone to Linfen to add something to the manor, such as something related to the royal family of the Northern Zhou Dynasty?"

Li Linfu shook his head, "Your suggestion is superfluous. The Holy Majesty knows the Yuwen family well and knows that they will not rebel. He doesn't even have the knowledge to know people. He still uses him as the prime minister? There must be other reasons for storing weapons, but anyway, Storing weapons is a taboo, although violating the taboo does not mean rebellion, but it is enough for the Holy One to veto Yu Wenjing's path to promotion."

Li Linfu said earnestly to Li Yeyu again: "You have to remember that officialdom struggles must be controlled to a certain degree, and they must swing back and forth in the gray area. If you leave room for those in charge, then the superior will definitely take a piece of your interests as a room for maneuver, understand?"

"Grandson understands!"

Li Linfu smiled and said, "Do you really understand? Then let me test you. In the Sun Jiliang case, why did you leave two major flaws in your evidence?"

Li Ye thought for a while, and his grandfather's words flashed through his mind like lightning, "Could this be the room left by the superior?"

Li Linfu nodded, "Through this case, you have to understand the political tactics of the superior. He just wanted to warn me and force me to compromise, so there must be room for the case to be reversed, and at the same time, it also left an excuse for Yang Li's ineffectiveness. .”

Li Ye let out a long sigh, "I see, the staff who advised the Yang family have long been controlled by the superior. The Yang family is just a knife of the superior, and he must control the strength of the knife."

Li Linfu gave a thumbs up, "If you can draw inferences from one instance, a child can be taught!"
