The capital of Daxia, Ruan Mansion.
In the meeting hall of the mansion, Ruan Ji and Liu Ming sat opposite each other.
The servants on both sides were helping to bring tea and water.
"Master Ruan! I heard that you have some evidence of the crimes of Xiliang officials. I wonder how Master Ruan plans to deal with them?"
Liu Ming picked up the tea cup and took a sip. Then he looked at Ruan Ji and asked unhurriedly.
"Master Liu, this case was supervised by Prince Lin, and I am just co-handling it. I don't know how to handle it specifically."
Ruan Ji is a man who can adapt to the changing circumstances. It is obvious that Wang Lin has the advantage now, and he will never give in easily.
After listening to Liu Ming's words, he took matters into his own hands without hesitation.
"Master Ruan, you are the governor of Shuntian Mansion after all! How can a prince do this!"
Liu Ming's words were not stated clearly.
But the implication is that he is also mocking Ruan Ji. He has a high position and does not need to look at Wang Lin's face.
Ruan Ji had been working in the court for many years, so he naturally listened to Liu Ming's words.
However, no matter how transparent he is, he can't wake up a person who is pretending to be confused.
"Mr. Liu, this is the emperor's order, and the subordinates are also ordered to carry out errands."
Ruan Ji also stopped talking when he spoke.
The fight between the two just now can be said to be on par.
This made Liu Ming sigh secretly.
Ruan Ji is indeed a veteran. Compared with his disciples, he is not even a bit better.
If you can win him over, it might be able to help you.
"Master Liu, I know that among these people, there are your disciples, but the emperor broke the law and the common people are equally guilty! Let alone them!"
Ruan Ji knew what Liu Ming was here for, so he simply opened up the topic directly.
This Liu Ming! Are you too embarrassed to tell yourself directly? You are beating around the bush and wasting your time.
"Sir Ruan is right! It's all my fault in controlling the situation that has caused trouble to the emperor!" Upon hearing Ruan Ji's words, Liu Ming first responded softly, and then continued: "However, they are all my disciples, and they are all my disciples. If something goes wrong, I can’t just sit idly by and ignore it!”
"Master Liu! I'm telling you the truth! Prince Lin came prepared this time. He had already found out what they were doing. In less than two hours, all the criminal evidence and witnesses of these people have been recorded!"
After hearing Liu Ming's words, Ruan Ji did not hide anything and directly explained the situation they had now.
This is also selling Liu Ming's face.
I have already explained the situation. What to do next is your business, Mr. Liu.
"Master Ruan, what do you plan to do next?"
When Liu Ming heard Ruan Ji's words, he panicked and asked directly.
When he asked, he realized that he had lost his composure, but he didn't care. Instead, he stared at Ruan Ji with his eyes wide open.
"Master Liu, come to court tomorrow morning! Your Majesty will meet with Prince Lin to meet with the Emperor! Tell us the clues and circumstances we have found!"
Ruan Ji also looked at Liu Ming and revealed their plan without any secret.
This matter has no impact on him. The only ones who can have an impact are Liu Ming and Wang Lin.
Therefore, he was happy to watch the two tigers fight.
"Sir Ruan, can you let me have a look at that confession?"
Liu Ming stopped being secretive. After listening to Ruan Ji's words, he directly asked for it.
"Lord Liu! This is a secret! I'm sorry that I cannot obey my order!"
When Ruan Ji heard Liu Ming's words, he refused his request without hesitation.
"Lord Ruan! I heard that Young Master Ling has no errand in the city. It just so happens that there is a vacancy for the fifth rank under my sect! If you have time, I can make arrangements. I will go to my place later and order Mao. That’s it!”
Liu Ming looked at Ruan Ji, who looked upright and awe-inspiring, lowered his voice and said to him.
After he said these words, Ruan Ji's expression changed slightly.
This change was captured by Liu Ming.
Ruan Ji can be said to be in a high position now, so any arrangements for him are of little use.
However, his son was different.
In the capital, he is also a second-generation ancestor.
Just arrange a vacancy for him.
"Then...thank you, Mr. Liu!"
Ruan Ji coughed lightly and thanked her without missing a beat.
However, he still didn't let go.
When Liu Ming heard this, he was not in a hurry and said directly: "Master Ruan, I went out in a hurry this time and only brought one thousand taels of gold. If I bring it back again, my old horse may not be able to support it, so I will take it all with me." Just stay in Ruan Mansion!"
"Master Liu, this is impossible! This..."
When Ruan Ji heard Liu Ming's words, his expression suddenly changed.
He was happy at first and then looked embarrassed.
"Master Ruan! Don't be polite! I just feel sorry for my old horse!"
Liu Ming waved his hand, and then continued: "Master Ruan! If you don't dislike it! Then stay!"
"Master Liu! You're welcome, then!" Ruan Ji raised his fist at Liu Ming, and then continued: "Master Liu! I heard that there are many masters in your house. I wonder if the library of Shuntian Mansion can stop it. These masters of yours.”
"Sir Ruan! What a joke. That's where all the information of my Daxia officials is stored. Even if I have this ability, I don't dare to break in!"
After listening to Ruan Ji's words, Liu Ming already understood what he meant, but the play still had to be performed.
After all, walls have ears, and everyone should be on guard against them.
"Master Liu! The north gate of the capital! There is a dilapidated courtyard where the earth dragon turned over. I heard that there is no peace there. If you want to take people there, you have to pick some capable people to go. The more the better!"
After Ruan Ji finished speaking, he then reminded him.
After hearing what he said, the joy on Liu Ming's face was beyond words. He stood up and raised his hands to Ruan Ji: "Sir Ruan! I have something to do at home, so I won't disturb you! We'll see you tomorrow morning!"
"Master Liu, be careful! Don't let the news leak out!"
Ruan Ji saw that Liu Ming was leaving and had no intention of keeping him. He followed Liu Ming to the door and warned him in a deep voice.
"Thank you Sir Ruan for reminding me, I will pay attention!"
Liu Ming looked at Ruan Ji with a proud expression.
"Then, I would like to send you off to Mr. Liu! I wish you success!"
Ruan Ji bowed his hands in greeting and showed a proud smile.
"Okay! Okay! Lord Ruan! Stay!"
Liu Ming praised him repeatedly and left in a hurry after leaving a few words.
As Liu Ming left, Ruan Ji raised his head and looked in the distance in the direction where his men and horses disappeared.
A pair of eyes showed a proud look.
When two tigers fight, one of them will be injured.
This is a fisherman's profit!
"Go to the Shuntian Mansion Office! Inform the brothers who are keeping vigil that the library must be strictly guarded tonight. If anything goes wrong, let them come to see you!"
Ruan Ji looked at the nurse beside him and ordered in a deep voice word by word.
