After living for two lifetimes, Li Qinzai is still quite interested in some mysterious things.
Aliens, black holes in the universe, mysterious spy organizations, etc., they are curious because of the mystery, and excited because of curiosity.
"What do the officials of Baiqisi look like?" Li Qinzai asked excitedly.
Li Sujie gave him a strange look and said slowly: "He looks like a human. He has two eyes and one mouth."
Li Qinzai paused for a moment, listening to your words as if he were speaking.
"Are you particularly cold and ruthless? Like a killer who has no need for emotion and will bleed you at the slightest disagreement?"
"What is a blood drop?" Li Sujie looked at him with more and more strange eyes: "He is just a very ordinary official. He works for his father on errands and uses his salary every month to support his family."
Li Qinzai's excited eyes dimmed a bit: "What you said... is so down to earth, isn't there anything special about it?"
Li Sujie thought for a moment and said, "Disciple, I don't know what's so special about them. Why don't you ask him to come and visit you? What should my father have ordered me to do yesterday? Maybe Baiqisi can come in handy."
Half an hour later, a green-robed official came outside the British palace.
It can be seen from the color of his official robe that this official is not of high rank.
Officials of the Tang Dynasty court officials were divided into three categories: purple robe, Fei robe, and green robe. Among them, purple robes belonged to high-ranking officials, usually ministers and ministers of a certain ministry, and Fei robes belonged to mid-level officials, mostly local officials or bachelors and doctors of certain ministries. .
Green robes belong to lower-level officials, and their grades are mostly six or seven.
The green-robed official entered the British palace, and Li Qinzai received him politely in the side hall of the palace.
The official was about thirty years old, his appearance was not outstanding, his facial features were very random, he was not ugly, and he could not be said to be handsome. If he were thrown into a crowd, he would not even be noticed, and he would be lost in the crowd in an instant.
What even more subverted Li Qinzai's imagination was that this official actually nodded and bowed. He didn't behave like an official at all. Instead, he looked like a businessman who was so angry that he only wanted to make money.
What about the ruthlessness you promised? What about the blood droplets that were agreed upon?
The guy in front of him is clearly a speculative businessman, the kind who wouldn't even look at his ancestral graves with anger.
"Deputy Commander An of Baiqi Division, Song Sen, pays homage to Mr. Li." Song Sen saluted with a smile.
Li Qinzai also smiled: "The name is nice. I can see that you lack wood in the Five Elements, so your parents planted a bunch of wood in your name, right?"
Song Sen smiled and said, "The inverse teaching Li Xianzi made is right. When Xiaguan was born, his parents asked a Taoist priest to celebrate his birth. It was true that the five elements lacked wood, so they gave him a name with a lot of wood."
Li Qinzai smiled, reached for the kettle and was about to pour water for himself, but Song Sen hurriedly took two steps forward and took the initiative to help Li Qinzai fill up the water.
Li Qinzai's eyes were slightly surprised, but he didn't say anything.
The legendary Baiqisi is mysterious and unpredictable. With an order in hand, hundreds of knights will attack in unison, and no grass will grow wherever they pass. As Song Sen nodded and bowed to pour water, all his impressions were shattered.
This guy is simply an old official.
Li Sujie seemed to be familiar with Song Sen, and said politely: "Sir, I have encountered some troubles recently. Yesterday at the Golden Palace, Supervisory Yushi Ma Zhong took the lead and led more than a dozen officials to impeach and advise. This incident made my husband unhappy. Can you, Baiqisi, check it?"
Song Sen said with a smile: "Your Highness, King Xi, Baiqisi has the rules of Baiqisi. It only obeys the emperor's edict, otherwise it will not dare to investigate randomly."
Li Sujie's face darkened.
But Li Qinzai smiled and said: "If others have rules, then act according to the rules. Baiqisi does not need to interfere in this matter."
Unexpectedly, Song Sen laughed again: "Rules are rules, but County Master Li's matter is different..."
"How is it different?"
"Your Majesty gave Li Xianzi an order yesterday. Since the emperor has an edict, Baiqisi will give Li Xianzi some help as appropriate without breaking the rules."
Li Qinzai finally looked at Song Sen seriously.
Seeing him nodding and bowing, Li Qinzai couldn't help feeling a little contemptuous. However, after saying these two words, Li Qinzai suddenly felt that this person was not simple.
His words were impeccable and he knew the rules very well.
What Li Sujie said didn't work, because Bai Qisi was also afraid of having an unclear relationship with the prince and violating the emperor's taboo.
However, Song Sen changed the topic and gave Li Qinzai enough face within the bounds of the rules. What he said seemed to have run an errand for the emperor, but also paid a favor in a personal capacity, and gained Li Qinzai's friendship.
In just a few words, an old man who has never been in the officialdom for more than ten years cannot reach such a state.
Serving as an official in a famous secret service agency is indeed no simple role.
So Li Qinzai was not polite: "Supervisory censor Ma Zhong, are you familiar with this person?"
"Most of the officials in Chang'an City, Baiqisi, have records, from birth to official evaluation."
"Where did Ma Zhong come from? Who was the instigator of the Jindian's defense yesterday?"
Song Sen hesitated for a moment and said: "Ma Zhong was born in Jinyang County and became an official in the 18th year of Zhenguan. At that time, he applied for the certificate of Cui Yixuan..."
Li Qinzai looked at Li Sujie in confusion: "Who is Cui Yixuan?"
Li Sujie hesitated for a moment and said: "During the Zhenguan period, Cui Yixuan was the chief historian of the Han Dynasty. After his father ascended the throne, he was awarded the title of imperial censor and governor of Puzhou. He died around the Xianqing period."
Song Sen smiled and said: "His Royal Highness King Xun has a good memory. After Cui Yixuan passed away, Ma Zhong switched to Liu Yuanzhen's sect, and he has been there until now."
Li Qinzai frowned: "Who is Liu Yuanzhen?"
Li Sujie whispered: "Liu Yuanzhen is the chief secretary of the young mansion. His official position is not high, but his father-in-law is very powerful..."
"Who is his father-in-law?"
"Minister of the Ministry of Personnel, third rank under Tongzhongshu family, Marquis of Guangping County, Li Yifu."
Li Qinzai's eyelids twitched.
Li Yifu, this is a big shot, a famous traitor in history. Later generations wrote "One Hundred Traitors in China", including Li Yifu. Joining him on the list are Li Linfu, Qin Hui, Wei Zhongxian...
China's thousands of years of civilization can actually be listed among the top 100 traitors, which shows that this guy is indeed not a good person.
"Ma Zhong's backer is Liu Yuanzhen, and Liu Yuanzhen's father-in-law is Li Yifu. In other words, Ma Zhong's real backer is Li Yifu?" Li Qinzai asked with a frown.
Song Sen smiled and said: "The relationship is a bit far, but if Mr. Li thinks so, it's not a bad idea."
Li Qinzai said with a solemn expression: "Since Baiqisi said that he wants to help, can you help find a geomantic treasure land and secretly bury Li Yifu?"
Song Sen's smiling face froze, and then his expression suddenly changed: "County Master Li is joking, this... I don't dare to lower my rank, it's too lawless."
Li Qinzai sighed in disappointment, and then said without giving up: "Buried Liu Yuanzhen?"
"No way." Song Sen's cheek began to twitch.
"Can Ma Zhong be buried?"
Song Sen sighed: "Don't be afraid of Xia Guan, Mr. Li County. You can't bury anyone. Xia Guan can't do it, and Baiqisi doesn't dare to do it."
Li Qinzai said disappointedly: "You Baiqisi...are not good at business."
Song Sen stiffly laughed. The other person was a county magistrate and the grandson of an English duke, so he couldn't bear it.
…………
In the afternoon, Li Sujie left the British palace and sat on the carriage ready to return to the palace.
Zhuque Street is very long, but the British Government Palace is very close to Tai Chi Palace.
When Li Ji went to court, he only had to walk a few steps to the palace gate.
The carriage swayed for a short time, and when it was approaching the palace gate, Li Sujie suddenly ordered it to stop.
The guards and eunuchs outside the carriage stood respectfully waiting for orders.
Li Sujie sat alone in the car and pondered for a long time.
No matter what Li Qinzai thought, as his disciple, Li Sujie had already determined that his relationship with Li Qinzai was one of mutual prosperity and mutual loss.
In this era, the relationship between teachers and students is as close as father and son.
Now that my husband is in trouble, my father seems to have given him an errand that is not easy to handle. As a disciple, how can I not share my worries for my husband?
"Come here, turn the carriage around, find a restaurant, and take my name card to entertain Xue Ne, the son of a man from Hedong County, and Gao Qi, the grandson of Duke Shen." Li Sujie ordered coldly from inside the carriage.
Xue Ne and Gao Qi came quickly.
The prince had to go to the banquet. No matter how domineering Xue Ne and Gao Qi were on weekdays, they would not dare to hit the prince in the face.
It was an ordinary restaurant on Zhuque Street. The three of them sat down and simple food and drinks were served.
Without Li Qinzai present, Xue Na and Gao Qi behaved well in front of Li Sujie.
After three rounds of drinking, Gao Qi handed Li Sujie his hand and said, "I don't know why His Highness Prince Xi invited us to a banquet today..."
Li Sujie smiled and said: "Don't call me His Highness King Xun. I am Mr. Li's disciple. According to the rules, I have to call you two uncles. My birth name is Li Lian. You two should call me Sujie." .”
The two of them didn't even dare to talk.
Li Sujie was not polite to them. He knew that the two dandies would never dare to act as elders in front of the prince.
So he went straight to the topic and said: "Yesterday in the Golden Palace, someone blocked Mr. Li's knighthood. The monarchs and ministers in the Golden Palace were very unhappy. Did you two hear about it?"
Xue Ne and Gao Qi frowned and nodded: "I heard."
Li Sujie sighed and said: "Father sent Mr. Li on an errand yesterday. It is probably related to the matter of ennobling him. However, this errand is very difficult to handle. Mr. Li is a little embarrassed."
"I am your disciple, and you two are your friends. Today, your husband is in trouble. Please act as friends and help him."
