Chapter 53 The canvas is intact and the streets are deserted(1/3)
Li Chengming and Chen Yinzhao were stunned when they were inexplicably called out.
Chen Yinzhao reacted quickly, stood in front of him, and was about to speak.
Li Zhi suddenly whispered: "Although I don't know your identities, I still recognize the Jin Yiwei."
"The emperor's ears and eyes cannot hide when it is time to listen."
Chen Yinzhao glanced at the guards behind him.
I don’t know if he has good eyesight or if he saw something when he checked in.
He cautiously said: "Sir, look at it, we are just businessmen."
The man in front of him was obviously not an old scholar, so he immediately changed his tune.
Li Zhi grabbed his hand and whispered: "I am also going to Beijing. Young Master, please don't blame me for talking too much and causing you two to stray from the Sacred Heart."
Chen Yinzhao obviously showed hesitation.
It's not that these words are very intimidating, after all, you won't be punished for such nonsense.
He was just a little unsure about the origin of the person in front of him.
With this insight and even such words, it is obvious that his identity is not simple.
Seeing that Chen Yinzhao was still hesitating, Li Zhi explained: "Don't worry, it's not an embarrassment. Let you two be witnesses to avoid being beaten up by Wang Zhigao."
Chen Yinzhao glanced at him.
After all, there was a minister of the Ministry of Justice upstairs, a big shot who was surrounded by nobles and nobles. He went crazy to provoke him.
He asked in a deep voice: "Elder, why don't you give me some information?"
Li Zhi said helplessly: "I was born as Li Zhi, the head of the Nanjing Criminal Department. Last month, I changed my career to the Imperial College, and now I am moving to Beijing to take up my post."
Chen Yinzhao was startled.
The head of the Ministry of Punishment and the director of the Imperial College are all in the sixth grade. Although they have been promoted from Southern Zhili to Northern Zhili, they are still small roles.
A sixth-grade minor character also wants to take advantage of him? Idiot!
This guy looked like he was not even afraid of the Minister of Punishment, and he almost frightened him.
He had confidence in his heart and spoke without hesitation or haste: "Then Li Siye just goes to his job well, why are you so entangled here?"
When Li Zhi saw him like this, he knew what he was thinking.
He immediately picked up the tiger's skin again and said: "I am about to take office, but I still have an unfinished case during my tenure in the Ministry of Punishment, and it happens to be against Wang Shangshu."
Then he became inscrutable and whispered: "It has something to do with the Holy One."
This last sentence immediately stunned Chen Yinzhao.
Although the Ming Dynasty has a cheerful atmosphere, it is not like arranging the emperor in front of the royal guards.
Now that he said that, I'm afraid it's really hard for him to hide.
I was in a dilemma for a while.
The two of them were muttering to each other, and the book boy had already become impatient.
Holding back his temper, he reminded me: "What are your origins? And why do you want to see my master?"
Li Zhi quickly came over.
Pointing at Chen Yinzhao and Li Chengming, he whispered.
Then he patted his chest again and showed some kind of certificate.
Only then did the bookboy nod hesitantly: "Come up with me."
Li Zhi then pulled the two nobles behind him and went upstairs.
Then the book boy led the official into the room first and asked the three of them to wait for a while while he went in to report.
Several people were a little dissatisfied when they saw that they had to line up behind the little clerk.
Only then did Chen Yinzhao have time to ask.
He whispered: "Li Siye might as well explain it more clearly."
Now that Li Zhi had coaxed the two of them up and knocked on Wang Zhigao's door, he no longer tried to hide it.
He said eloquently: "I'll keep it short."
"At the beginning of last month, the Holy Father held a sutra feast."
"At the first Sutra banquet, the lecturers took advantage of the situation and introduced some schools of Confucian classics, such as what kind of conscience is ready, how to cultivate it, etc."
"A certain banquet official just talked about the theory of good and evil."
"The Holy Spirit came up and was curious, so he asked, is nature inherently good or inherently evil, or is it because of the inner learning that there is neither good nor evil?"
"Several officials hold different opinions, and the Holy One is displeased."
"At that time, the Korean nation came to the capital to express its gratitude. The Holy Spirit summoned him and told him about a famous savage in the mountains of that country who had been abandoned since he was a child and had been living with nature."
"Then the Holy Spirit was overjoyed and said that if you are confused, you should test it to see if this kind of innate person is good or evil."
Having said this, he swallowed and paused.
Li Chengming simply took advantage of this opportunity to interject: "Then what does this have to do with you?"
Chen Yinzhao also looked at Li Zhi, his eyes full of doubts.
Li Zhi shook his head: "Originally it was none of my business, but some bad people in South Zhili heard about it and hurriedly got involved."
"I have a case on hand, and the criminal is a mentally retarded man."
"When I left office, I was about to close the case and release the person, but I heard from below that the person was taken away by this Wang Shangshu."
Combined with what he said before, the two of them can also understand the purpose of lifting people away.
Li Chengming said doubtfully: "I'm afraid there is a difference between a disabled person and an uncivilized person."
Chen Yinzhao understood this matter.
Different things mean different things, but it’s always the attitude that sells well.
His focus was elsewhere: "Since Li Siye is here to ask for help, what are you going to do with us? I won't accompany you."
I had been frightened by the big banner just now, but now I heard that it had nothing to do with the Holy Spirit, so I immediately prepared to run away.
Li Zhi quickly grabbed the person.
He was already prepared.
He slowly opened his mouth and said, "To be honest with you two, this matter is indeed a bit troublesome."
"The Holy One has personally urged me to go to the road. If I ask someone to send me back and go back and forth, wouldn't I waste time and keep the Holy One waiting?"
"So, I have to trouble my two Jinyi guards to send me off."
Chen Yinzhao frowned, what's the origin? Why did the Holy Emperor personally urge him to go to Beijing?
At first he thought he was a big shot, but after hearing about his official position, he thought he was just a small role.
Now after hearing this, I am not sure again.
Li Chengming didn't expect so much, and retorted directly: "It's your business to keep the Lord waiting, and it's not up to us."
This is the truth.
But Li Zhi grinned and pulled off the Confucian scarf on his head, revealing a bare head.
Then he took out a piece of paper from his turban, with six words written on it: "I have admired your name for a long time, I am looking forward to you".
Li Zhi made a move casually.
He said ruthlessly: "The so-called bald people are not afraid of those wearing crowns. I am relying on you today."
Chen Yinzhao and Li Chengming's expressions changed.
Looking at each other, they obviously saw the emperor's private seal on it.
It is not easy to offend such a simple person with a sacred heart, regardless of his or her official rank.
Even if you know that this person cannot afford to be negligent.
After Li Zhi promised that he would not offend Wang Shangshu and would only serve as a witness, the two of them had no choice but to agree.
But Li Chengming suddenly asked curiously: "Is Li Siye a monk and returning to secular life?"
It is said that the hair and skin of the body are influenced by the parents. Confucian scholars would never treat their own hair like this.
I couldn't help but ask this question.
Li Zhi waved his hand and said nonchalantly: "One day my head was itching unbearably, and I happened to be tired of combing it, so I simply cut off my hair, leaving only my sideburns."
It cannot be said to be free and easy, it can only be said to be deviant.
Chen and Li looked at his bald head frequently and sighed in their hearts, what a crazy person.
Li Chengming couldn't help but said: "The "Book of Filial Piety" says that the hair and skin of the body are influenced by the parents..."
