Datang: Picking up a little Si Zi and accidentally admitting his kinship with blood?

Chapter 171: Entertaining Li Daozong!First time hearing about Li Xueyan!
Chang'an City, where the Ministry of Punishment is located.

Li Daozong slapped his hand on the table, his face turned livid: "What did you say? Say it again?"

The guard who had just returned from Qingquan Town hurriedly reported the news, which immediately made Li Daozong furious!

"The minister died again?"

"Damn it, how many times has this happened?"

"Why does it always happen to me in the Criminal Department? Do you know how the outside world evaluates me now?"

"I am now the nemesis of the assistant minister!"

Li Daozong was furious, his chest heaving violently. He was so angry at the news brought back by the guards that he felt that his internal organs were on fire.

After careful calculation, in addition to the first minister being abolished, the two newly appointed ministers have all disappeared in just a few days!

If this continues, who would dare to become a minister in the Ministry of Justice?
In the past, the Ministry of Punishment was extremely majestic, and in terms of ostentation, it was only slightly worse than that of the Yushi Prison. But as long as I went out to do business, wouldn't I be greeted politely and with a smile at every house I went to?
But in the past month, accidents have happened one after another, and the entire criminal department has suffered a serious loss of manpower. From the minister to the bodyguard, no one has had an easy time.

"Sir... Your Majesty, my mother is seriously ill. I sent a letter yesterday. I want to take a few days off..."

The guard looked horrified, lowered his head and did not dare to look at Li Daozong, and whispered.

"let's go!"

"Let's go!"

"I won't do it either!"

Li Daozong was upset and waved his hand impatiently, and the guard hurriedly ran away with his tail between his legs.

The Ministry of Punishment is evil these days!
It's better to go home to avoid the limelight, and wait until the matter has passed for a while before returning to work!
After the guards left, Li Daozong sat at the table alone.

The timber merchants were wanted to be held accountable. This was the intention of most of the courtiers. It was said that it was an urgent matter for the reconstruction of Dali Temple.

Under pressure from many parties, Li Daozong had no choice but to take action and sent men out.

I just didn't expect that the overturn would happen so quickly, and someone else would go back, and my own servant would be in trouble!
At this time, the guard at the door came to report: "Sir, Duke Zhao is here."

Sun Wuji, the eldest son of Zhao Guogong?
What does he come to do?
Li Daozong showed a puzzled look and saw Changsun Wuji walking in and said: "Good morning, King Jiangxia!"

morning?
It's already the afternoon, it's still too early, and I think about whether the minister of the Ministry of official affairs is okay, and his own minister is gone, and Li Daozong's face doesn't look good.

"Zhao Guogong is here, but what's the matter?"

He would go to the Three Treasures Hall for nothing. This old guy didn't have much contact with me, and he was as shrewd as a fox. There was definitely something going on.

Changsun Wuji smiled slightly, found a place to sit down, and said, "I haven't seen King Jiangxia for a long time. Why don't you come over and sit down? Isn't it okay?"

Li Daozong rolled his eyes: I believe you are a hammer.

"Show tea to Mr. Zhao Guo!"

He stretched out his hand to avoid hitting the smiling man, and the servants made tea. Li Daozong took a sip of tea and said: "Old Changsun, don't go around in this fog. If you have anything to say, just tell me!"

"We're still busy right now. After all, you still have a servant to help you. We just found a servant and he's gone before he's even warmed up!"

The implication is that Li Daozong already wants to see off the guests!
Changsun Wuji was calm and calm, and said with a smile: "King Jiangxia, please don't be angry. I have already heard from the minister about this matter. The minister of punishment has an accident, and I sympathize with him very much."

"It's just that the King of Jiangxia should also know who this person is. He is someone whom His Majesty values, and even I can't do anything about it!"

Hearing this, Li Daozong's face suddenly turned ugly.

Sure enough, he is still the same madman!
Just now I heard the report from the guards that the murderer was a young man with a little girl, and he was spitting out sweet scents that wouldn't give anyone a chance to survive. Li Daozong was already inseparable!I can't move, I can't grab it, it's really annoying!
"May I ask Duke Zhao, why does your majesty treat this person so special?"

"You have clearly harmed so many people in our Criminal Department and Yamen, and almost started a war between Tibet and the Tang Dynasty. How could Your Majesty protect this person like this?"

"Is it possible that this person and His Majesty..."

Li Daozong almost blurted out "illegitimate child", but after thinking about it, he felt it was inappropriate and quickly held back.

But when he looked at Changsun Wuji, the latter could clearly see the meaning in his eyes.

"Hey, King Jiang Xia, you old fox, want to get something out of me?"

"You have to ask His Majesty about this. If Your Majesty is willing to tell you, I will tell you."

Changsun Wuji squinted his eyes and laughed, and then said: "In addition, I didn't let people from the official department participate in this matter, but something went wrong."

"Your Majesty still doesn't know about this, otherwise he will be furious and you and I will both be held accountable."

Li Daozong frowned, and after a long time he looked at Changsun Wuji with a gloomy look: "Then according to Zhao Guogong's opinion, my servant's death was in vain?"

"Well, it was indeed a waste of time."

"When we arrested those Tibetan thieves before, didn't one of them die in vain?"

Li Daozong was immediately furious, slapped the table and stood up: "Changsun Wuji!"

"Did you have nothing to do to entertain me?"

Changsun Wuji took a leisurely sip of tea and said slowly: "King Jiangxia, you still can't calm down!"

"How can I entertain you?"

"I came here just to remind you that things are already like this, and we still have to focus on the reconstruction of Dali Temple. As for other matters, please don't disturb Your Majesty."

"Of course, if you think His Majesty will embarrass that young man because you lost a minister, then you should give it a try."

Changsun Wuji put down his tea cup and said leisurely.

Li Daozong's face became even more ugly.

After a long time, Changsun Wuji left.

Not long after, a brisk and slender girl came in from outside, and she saw Li Daozong's face was ashen.

After a few steps, the girl took Li Daozong's arm and said, "Dad, why are you so angry?"

Seeing his daughter coming over, Li Daozong's expression finally softened a lot and said, "Xueyan, you just came here, why don't you stop asking and go to play with your imperial sister?"

Li Xueyan nodded and said happily: "Yes, I have been staying at Sister Huang's place today. Sister Huang gave me a lot of rouge and gouache. It's a pity that I can't use it, so I gave it all to Xiao Lu."

"You girl..."

Li Daozong looked helpless and said: "Recently, you just stay in the imperial city and learn more from your imperial sister. A daughter's family is shouting about killing and killing all day long, and there is no appearance at all!"

"It's a good thing that the girl from Duke Wei's mansion is not in Chang'an, otherwise we don't know what kind of trouble would be caused!"

Hearing this, Li Xueyan's eyes suddenly lit up: "Dad, I heard that Li Wan went to Liangzhou and will be back tomorrow. My daughter will never lose to her this time!"

"This time my daughter must let her see whether it is her swordsmanship that is superb or my daughter's marksmanship!"
