Food Fairy Lord

Chapter 568 Five Clouds
A heavy snow, then sunny weather again.

The sky over the Shenjing City is pale blue, and the leaves have all fallen in the winter, making the scene clear and spacious. Sitting on the top of the Wuyun Tower, one can see the city wall in the distance.

However, Pei Ye was half leaning against the window, his eyes still cast towards the Suzaku Avenue on the side.

The weather was still as grim as ever, but the upheaval of human affairs could no longer be concealed. In the last ten days of the Xinsi year of the Suo Lin, the Tang Dynasty court began the biggest upheaval and adjustment in the past ten years. The reigning sage acted as quickly and efficiently as ever. When he felt that something needed to be done, he would often not leave the ministers any time to settle themselves.

In the Xuanzheng Hall on the third day after the Sword Power Betting, Yuan Youjing, who had been the Minister of Revenue for more than ten years, was finally able to enter the three ministries and serve as the Minister of the Left, while still temporarily leading the Ministry of Revenue.

On the same day, Li Mingqiu, who had been away from office for a long time and was already in his sixties, was reinstated as the Minister of Rites. The former Minister of Rites Xiao Zezhang was transferred to the Hanlin Academy. One of the two vice ministers remained in office, while the other was slightly demoted and transferred to Xilong.

The Ministry of Rites was the government office with the biggest changes, and it was also a reflection of the entire Southern Court. It was said that the newly appointed Zuo Pushe, during the conversation in the Purple Palace Hall on the night when the snow stopped, submitted a memorial to the emperor recommending talented people, which listed twenty-one names and involved forty or fifty transfers of power and positions... Apparently, he had been carrying this memorial in his sleeve when he went to watch the sword betting.

Most of these twenty-one people are considered to be the most core "Yuan School".

The saint agreed to most of them, and from the next day, many stagnant and buried matters began to move forward immediately.

The temperament of the court had become very different. Many people seemed to have been standing on the Phoenix Pond for a long time in official uniforms. They were familiar with everything and accustomed to the environment and direction of the Southern Court. But it was not until then that many people realized that what they were familiar with was not actually the court of the Tang Dynasty. They were only familiar with the court of the past ten years when Li Du was in power.

When a new prime minister with a completely different personality and behavior takes office, and when his way of getting along with the saint is completely different, the atmosphere of the entire court will change. Some people have already realized it, while some people still think that the discomfort of the past two days is only temporary due to the change.

"You seemed to like drinking that day. I spent two months' salary to buy a pot of wine." Xie Chuantang sat cross-legged, holding a dry steamed bun and spicy stir-fried cabbage, "but now you don't drink a drop of wine."

In front of her was a sealed silver wine pot with no signs of being opened. The boy sitting across from her had already finished a bowl of noodles with soup. He was leaning against the window wearing a nice warm coat. He did look a little weak. He smiled and said, "You pathetic boy, how can you have the nerve to drink yours."

"I am the only one who is in charge of life and death, and I don't have much to spend my salary on." Xie Chuantang glanced at him, "I think you got drunk that day. Jiang Yin'er said that you vomited several times after you went back."

"... Oh, let's not talk about it."

Winning the sword bet was a beautiful thing, winning the sword bet beautifully and elegantly was an even better thing, and winning the sword bet in front of everyone and my new sister was a beautiful thing, but on the way back to the Sword Training Institute, I vomited all over my sister in front of her astonished eyes, and after returning, I threw myself on Yan Feiqing's chair and vomited a pool of blood... These are memories that I don't want to recall.

"I don't have a habit of drinking, but that night I entered Xiuhu's state of mind, and I felt unhappy for some reason, as if I had to get drunk." Pei Ye sighed and frowned slightly, "I don't know how much I drank, and my memory was fragmented when I woke up."

After the sword gambling was over, it was Jiang Yin'er who helped him back to the sword repair courtyard. He didn't know why Xu Chuo didn't take him back to his old home. Later, he remembered that he seemed to be just a guest, and there was no reason for him to stay overnight after the business was done.

But he really hadn't seen a woman until now. The exhaustion after physical and mental exhaustion made him lie in the sword training courtyard for a whole day and night, staring blankly at the roof. He had no energy but didn't want to waste time, so he ordered Xiaomao to read the sword manual to him.

"I know. I helped them carry you onto the carriage." Xie Chuantang said, "Based on my experience in handling drunkard cases, it must be no less than three pounds."

Pei Ye picked up two pieces of cabbage with chopsticks and asked curiously: "What kind of experience is this?"

"Smell it." "..."

Today it was not Xie Chuantang who made an appointment with Pei Ye, but Pei Ye who made an appointment with Xie Chuantang. After he recovered some energy and got up from bed, the first thing he wanted to do was to ask Wang Shousi to deliver a message to Jingzhao Prefecture. Of course, it was understandable that Pei Shaoxia did not realize that he had taken the initiative to make an appointment but was treated by others as he was drunk and dizzy.

"We have sent people to monitor Xunfang Garden right away. Many other government offices that had been tight-lipped have begun to loosen up. The cases of Liguan and Taipingcao have basically been solved." Xie Chuantang said while biting a dry bun. "Now I am going to re-examine what happened when we went to Yangjiadu. Now that we have a clear understanding of the beginning and the end here, it will be easier to see new things over there."

"You're so busy." Pei Ye glanced at her, "It's almost the New Year, take a few days off."

"Some paperwork and errands are not that tiring."

However, this is not a matter of physical fatigue. Pei Ye meant her tense spirit. But this woman is probably like this. She will not be able to lie down in peace until the case is completely solved.

Pei Ye said no more and glanced at the road below: "Now let's just wait for Li Du to step down."

"Yes, I sorted out all the evidence I had and handed it to Lord Di the day before yesterday. Lord Di formally drafted an impeachment letter yesterday, and I heard that he met with the Minister of Justice." Xie Chuantang said, "I don't know much about what's going on in the court, but I think they want to wait until he leaves office before accusing him of multiple crimes."

Pei Ye wanted to see the officer even when his lips were still pale. He wanted to ask: "Is it possible?"

Xie Chuantang paused: "I don't know."

"I have tried my best. My best." The female detective lowered her head to eat her food, her voice flat. "I have investigated all the crimes I could find, but I am a detective, and this is all I can do. Judging cases is the job of adults, and judging adults is the job of even greater adults."

"I understand." Pei Ye still reached out to open the bottle of wine, picked up the glass and poured a glass for each of them.

That carefree and uninhibited temperament seemed to still remain in the boy. He leaned against the window and smiled, raised his hand and clinked the porcelain cup with it: "It will definitely work."

Xie Chuantang drank it all in one gulp and smiled: "Don't let this happen to you. You will really get addicted to alcohol."

"Is it so annoying?"

"The nose of the drinker smells the aroma of wine, while the nose of the smeller smells the stench of wine."

Both of them had big appetites. If Pei Ye had to choose the most relaxed dining companion, he would definitely choose this cellmate. The two of them ate up the entire table of food. He leaned against the window with his legs crossed and smiled, "I won't drink. I can't remember clearly who won, and the cheers were so hazy. It really affects my memory."
