Returning to the Li Mansion, Li Beidou went straight to his grandfather's study and recounted everything anxiously.
Li Jing listened without changing his expression, a smile appeared on his lips, and he said lightly: "Since it was sent by the emperor, you just have to obey the order."
Li Beidou smiled bitterly, "But my grandson doesn't understand what the emperor means at all? What kind of unknown force asked me to go there to investigate."
Li Jing smiled and said: "As a minister, the first priority is to quickly distinguish which words of the emperor are true and which words are excuses."
Li Beidou frowned: "Grandpa, what you mean is that the unknown forces mentioned by the Emperor are an excuse? What is the Emperor's original intention?"
Li Jing's turbid old eyes were half open and half closed, and he said calmly: "Argue for yourself. You are already the county magistrate. You can't ask me about everything. If I die, who should you ask?"
Li Beidou was helpless, "Grandpa, please give me a hint, otherwise my grandson will have no choice but to ignore Man Chang'an and cause trouble everywhere."
Li Jing suddenly smiled and said mysteriously: "It's okay to cause trouble, Beidou, I allow you to cause trouble this time."
Li Beidou looked at Li Jing in surprise. Li Jing looked like he was strategizing but I just didn't say anything, and he snorted dissatisfied.
Li Jing couldn't help but smile when he saw his grandson's appearance, "Idiot, whatever the emperor asks you to do, you just do it. As a minister in the court, who is not a human spirit who was killed in a mountain of corpses and a sea of blood? In this city of yours, no small thoughts Everyone will see through it at a glance, so you might as well be a little more confused in front of your colleagues and a little more straightforward and true in front of the emperor."
If Li Beidou has some enlightenment, this is Li Jing's reminder. Perhaps his grandfather's lifelong experience as an official is reflected in these words.
When he was a social worker in his previous life, when the boss wanted to discuss work with a female subordinate and asked him to go out and buy a pack of cigarettes, he would never actually buy a pack of cigarettes and come back, even though he knew that the boss might take three minutes.
It seems that Li Beidou had a vague understanding of the emperor's will...
It seems that the big shots all say the same thing, a proper art of language.
There may or may not be so-called unknown forces, but to say that the great and wise Li Shimin has no clue about this would be an insult to other people's intelligence.
Li Shimin wanted Li Beidou to do something.
As for what is the purpose after making it? Li Beidou hasn't figured it out yet.
It doesn't matter, just do it first and then talk about it. Anyway, I have the support of the emperor and my grandfather as my backer.
In fact, when Li Shimin mentioned the unknown force, the first image that popped into Li Beidou's mind was the delicate and beautiful face of the Crown Princess.
As a time traveler, Li Beidou naturally knew that this was the time when the Crown Princess, later Queen Wang, was jumping up and down for Li Zhi.
As a prince and having learned from past mistakes, Li Zhi naturally understood the taboos of the emperor.
But as the saying goes, one emperor and one courtier, those officials who are a little ambitious and want to make progress will naturally not let go of this opportunity.
The Crown Princess naturally became the most suitable candidate.
With so many people taking the initiative to demand progress, are they forming an unknown force?
To say that they want to rebel is definitely not true. After all, their allegiance is still to the Li Tang Royal Family.
But to say that they are loyal ministers feels a bit awkward. After all, the emperor is still here, which is taboo.
It's a bit complicated and not easy to determine, but what is certain is that the emperor is dissatisfied.
It was precisely because of Li Beidou's ennoblement that there was a stir, and perhaps it was also the emperor who wanted to praise Li Beidou's reputation.
The investigation of unknown forces is false, but the beating of these speculators is true. Anyway, it concerns Li Beidou, and it is only natural that he should take action on his own. And he is a bastard in Chang'an City that everyone can see, so doing some bastard things is a daily operation.
Don't tell me, there is really no sense of violation.
No wonder Grandpa allowed him to do whatever he wanted this time with a smirk on his face.
An old fox is an old fox after all, and Grandpa immediately saw through the emperor's intentions.
Li Beidou, who had thought everything through, looked sad.
Li Jing looked at Li Beidou with a half-smile but not a smile. Knowing that he had thought it through clearly, he said, "Don't worry, I will introduce you to an official from the Delinquency Department tomorrow."
Li Beidou was stunned. Damn it, the bad guy has been a famous figure for a long time in his past life. This is a mysterious organization used by the emperor to monitor the people of the world.
It is said that in the past three hundred years of the Tang Dynasty, there has always been their presence in Guozuo.
Fortunately, the emperors of the Tang Dynasty knew how terrifying this spy organization directly under the emperor's control was, so they put a rein on him, giving it only the power of surveillance and investigation, but no power of interrogation or torture.
No matter how many lives they have lived, people are very interested in mysterious things.
Curious because of mystery, excited because of curiosity.
Li Beidou asked excitedly: "What do the officials of the Delinquency Department look like?"
Li Jing glanced at Li Beidou and said word by word: "You look... like!"
Li Beidou was stunned, and he really listened to Jun's words as if they were just words. "Are you like a killer who has no emotion? He is particularly ruthless and will bleed you at the slightest disagreement?"
Li Jing's head was full of questions, what the hell is Xue Dizi? What the hell is this little brat looking forward to?
Under Li Beidou's expectant gaze, Li Jing only replied with one word, "Get out!"
Li Beidou replied wisely: "Okay."
…
It is said that meeting someone is not as good as being famous. This is absolutely true.
The next day, Li Beidou met the legendary bad guy. How should I put it, he was just like those star chasers in his previous life, who really met his idol and talked to him, only to realize that it was really hard to explain in words.
The official in front of me was about 20 years old. His appearance was too casual. He was not ugly and definitely not handsome. He was the kind of person who would not even be noticed if he was thrown into a crowd.
What even more subverts Li Beidou's three views is that this official not only does not look like a killer who has no emotion, but instead looks like a speculator who is willing to make money in public. kind of.
The visitor smiled and saluted, "Deputy Chief An of the Department of Bad Officials, Li Minghao, pays homage to Mr. Li."
Li Beidou also smiled, "What a good name. I can see that your parents hope that you can shine brightly in the sky to illuminate a pure land for the Tang Dynasty."
Li Minghao smiled and said: "Li County's great talent, you are really right. Your parents do have this intention."
Li Beidou smiled, picked up the tea cup and took a sip.
Li Minghao hurried forward and took the initiative to pick up the kettle and fill it with water for Li Beidou.
Li Beidou was surprised, what was promised to be mysterious? With the promised command in hand, hundreds of cavalry will go out in unison, but no grass will grow wherever they pass?
How did he become an official official who pleases his superiors, bows his head, and pours tea and water?
Li Beidou smiled bitterly, and could only accept the reality of his disillusionment, so he asked: "Yesterday, more than ten courtiers participated in the impeachment of my knighthood. Can you, the Vice President, check it out?"
Li Minghao said with a smile: "The bad department has the rules of the bad department. It only obeys the emperor's order, otherwise it will not dare to investigate randomly."
Li Beidou smiled bitterly, "Okay, if there are rules, follow them. I'll think of another way to do this."
Unexpectedly, Li Minghao smiled and said: "Rules are rules, but County Master Li's matter is different..."
"Oh? What's different?"
"Yesterday, His Majesty gave an order to Mr. Li. The bad boss should give Mr. Li some help as long as he does not break the rules."
Li Beidou couldn't help but take a closer look at Li Minghao.
Originally, he could not help but feel a little contempt for this nodding and bowing officialdom veteran, but after saying these two words, Li Beidou suddenly felt that this person was not a simple person.
His speech is impeccable and he has a good sense of propriety and propriety.
Sure enough, those who can serve as officials in the famous bad guys are not simple characters.
So Li Beidou asked politely: "Supervisory Censor Wu Tong, are you familiar with this person?"
