"Did Mr. Gang Feng ever work with Xue Shangshu of the Ministry of Revenue?" asked the timid king.
Li Qingxian was stunned for a moment, puzzled in his heart. Xue Ziliao from the household department was a high-ranking member of the evil sect, and his father was a literary and cultural monument. The two of them had never worked together before. What did this mean?
For a boss of this status, asking such a question is definitely not pointless.
Li Qingxian immediately recalled what he had said to the king before, almost clearly saying that Ye Wei was short of money, and now he mentioned the Minister of the Ministry of Revenue, which must be related to money.
But what does it mean to mention one’s own father?
Li Qingxian was silent for a long time and said: "My late father did not work with Xue Shangshu, and I have never met Xue Shangshu."
"Oh..." The King's voice was lower than usual, and he asked again, "Do you have any history with Feng Shilang?"
Li Qingxian immediately recalled the relevant officials from the Ministry of Household Affairs.
The top leader of the Ministry of Household Affairs is Shangshu Xue Ziliao.
Not counting the ministers, the next ones are Feng Tianlun, the left minister, and Lu Kaizhao, the right minister.
At that time, Tang Enxuan, the son of King Yuan, sent Pang Mingjing to harm him. When he was trapped in front of Hubu Street, Zhou Chunfeng asked Feng Tianlun, the left minister, to come forward.
However, Feng Tianlun did not take action himself, but sent his subordinate Xie Ming to help.
Later, I heard that Zhou Chunfeng and Feng Tianlun had a mediocre relationship, and it was Zhou Chunfeng who asked another friend for help to get Feng Tianlun to come forward.
At that time, Luo Jing, who was helping him on Hubu Street, took the path of his right servant Lu Kaizhao. Both of them were from the Nanxing sect.
Feng Tianlun is from the Guangming Sect.
My connections in the household department, including my previous cooperation with the winery, were also in the same way as Mr. Lu.
Li Qingxian immediately became vigilant and carefully recalled the Night Guard Newspaper. He soon discovered that the two ministers of the household department had information on it, but Feng Shilang had more and more information, while Lu Kaizhao had less and less information.
Coupled with the words of the coward, the situation is already obvious.
Feng Tianlun gained power and Lu Kaizhao lost power.
Li Qingxian said slowly: "I have only met Mr. Lu a few times."
The Coward King sighed softly and said: "You also know that the Night Guard is being eliminated continuously, and even the strongest demon-slaying division has been removed. It is becoming more and more difficult for the Night Guard. After the examination of the Ministry of Household Affairs a few days ago, God
It has been really lively for a while, and I thought you would return to Beijing at that time. Now, winter is about to enter, and life in this divine capital city has become difficult again."
Li Qingxian thought that the so-called excitement meant that various officials were running for new positions and vying for official positions. The positions had already been decided. Now that he was back in the capital, he really had no position.
The words of the Coward King seem to be a tactful way of expressing apology.
On the surface, what the King of Counselors means is that as long as he gets money for Ye Wei, he will have the opportunity to arrange errands.
But in fact, the coward is saying that someone is trying to strangle Ye Wei's financial lifeline and threaten him to target Li Qingxian.
No matter how timid the King is, he will only be a second-grade officer. No matter what, he is still the head of the Night Guard. He can usually be cowardly, but if others directly intervene in the appointment of the Night Guard chief, he cannot remain indifferent.
Therefore, he needed an excuse to interfere in this matter, and he needed Li Qingxian to solve the problem at the Ministry of Revenue.
Li Qingxian understood that this was the purpose of the other party looking for him.
If you can't solve these problems by yourself, then you can only hold the empty title of deputy commander and patrol officer, which is less than the real power in Qiyuan City.
The dignified Night Guard Chief, there is no need to tell myself this. This kind of thing needs to be understood by the people below.
But the cowardly king almost made his words clear, and his position was very clear. He wanted to help, but he was powerless.
Li Qingxian said: "Xiaguan has kept the teachings of the head guard in mind. However, Xiaguan has been in charge of Qiyuan City in the past few years, so he has been working hard and delayed his practice. During this time, since the night guard is not busy, I just happened to have a spare time.
Time to practice. You also know that it has only been more than a year since I was promoted to the sixth level, and I just need to study the situation. The situation is the only way to the middle level, and it takes a long time to practice. By the way, do you know the Tianshi Sect?
People? I want to buy some books on situation experience from Tianshi Sect."
The coward said: "I am a rough guy, how can I know the masters of the Tianshi Sect? If you have time, go to the Black Deng Division and have a look. They may be familiar with the Tianshi Sect."
"Okay, then I'll go find Guo Xiang."
The hall fell silent, and the King of Coward squinted his eyes, seeming to be snoring.
Li Qingxian ate another handful of big cherries and said goodbye to the coward.
Seeing Li Qingxian's figure disappearing into the yard, the Coward King let out a long sigh.
"It disturbs my appetite." After the coward king finished speaking, he stretched out his hand, and Li Qingxian's remaining three and a half bowls of fruit flew in front of him. He grabbed it with his big hand and chewed it, causing juice to splash everywhere.
Li Qingxian thought over and over what Zhang Fugui and Coward King said before, and basically understood the general outline.
Afterwards, Li Qingxian shook his head and his expression remained as usual.
When I walked to the door of Chunfeng Residence, I saw many acquaintances from Night Guard welcoming me with smiles.
"Congratulations to Mr. Li!"
"Deputy Commander Li!"
"Congratulations to Mr. Zhou for being promoted to top grade."
"Soon, I will have to call you Zhou Hou."
Most of these people are low-grade in green clothes, and there are three middle-grade people in scarlet clothes.
Led by Li Qingxian's old boss He Lei, after greetings, he and Li Qingxian walked into Chunfeng Residence.
"Everyone, please take a seat." Li Qingxian said.
The sixteen people glanced at Zhou Hen who was standing and looked at the six chairs without moving.
Li Qingxian said: "Let's go to the yard and have a chat."
Everyone returned to the yard and glanced at the red maple trees.
Walking to the lotus pond in the courtyard, Li Qingxian scanned everyone.
Zhou Chunfeng had many old subordinates back then, but today there are very few.
Some of them have no impression of themselves.
I am more impressed now.
Everyone first talked about the weather, the river guarding army, and the city of God.
Finally, He Lei said: "Master Li, when you return to the capital, I think it is better to choose a different day than to hit the sun. Today I invite you to go to Huahai Tower to have a glass of wine and chat together. To be honest, we usually don't go there.
It’s a big place that could benefit from your blessing.”
Li Qingxian asked calmly: "You don't know?"
"What do you know?" Everyone looked at Li Qingxian.
"Just now, the head of the guard came to me and said that the Night Guard was abolishing its position and could not arrange it for me for the time being. I am really free." Li Qingxian sighed sadly and looked up at the big willow tree outside the wall.
Everyone looked at each other and remained silent.
He Lei said with a smile: "What position do you hold and what does it have to do with tonight's dinner? We just feel that we haven't seen each other for a long time. Let's have a meal together and congratulate you on becoming a marquis. Do you think so?"
"Of course, it's irrelevant."
"Just a meal and a glass of wine."
Everyone smiled.
Li Qingxian nodded and said: "I am really free these days. Since you invited me, I will definitely go to the banquet today."
Everyone chatted for a while and then left in small groups.
He Lei said goodbye to Li Qingxian and walked back with three of his close low-ranking colleagues.
Far away from Chunfengju, a person whispered: "It seems that the King of Chu has taken action."
"Yes, I heard the news before."
"Have you heard? I heard that Ye Han is going to return to the Patrol Division and serve as the director of the Division. Mr. Song Yanxue is firmly opposed to it, and the head of the guard has not made up his mind. This matter has not been decided yet."
"This Ye Han is really extraordinary. Who would have thought that after leaving Ye Wei, he would be promoted to the sixth rank in just a few years and fall into the eyes of the King of Chu."
