Sky Surveying Demon Hunt

Chapter 740

Early in the morning, it was not yet dawn.

With a bit of cool wind blowing, the people who get up early are full of energy.

After entering the summer, the heat at noon makes people unable to even move, and the work of the day is always done in the morning and evening.

In the east of the city, the servants of the dignitaries and dignitaries prepared their chariots, horses and sedan chairs early on. When it was just dawn, the high officials of the court walked out of their mansions, got on the chariots, horses and sedan chairs, and headed towards the palace. .

Then he waited outside the palace for His Majesty to go to court, and after entering the Changhua Palace, he chanted a few words of long live, and then watched his nose, nose, nose, and heart, only listening but not saying.

Generally speaking, in the early court, it was only half an hour, and after Mu Xiang said that the weather is good, the country is peaceful and the people are safe, Luo Xiang will jump out and sing the opposite.After some quarrels, His Majesty would encourage all parties with a few words of enthusiasm, and then everyone would go back to their respective homes, those who hugged concubines hugged concubines, and those who hugged children hugged children.

But today in the east of the city, there is a rather eye-catching figure in the team rushing to the court.

Among the cars and sedan chairs all over the street, the man chose to walk.

He was wearing a blue long gown, holding a meat sandwich in his left hand, and a bowl in his right, which was still steaming.

The road in the east of the city leads directly to the imperial palace. If you want to go to other places in the capital, there is a shorter road. This road is built for the ministers to go to court.

People are not allowed to leave, and they are not worthy to leave.

When this point appears on this road, it will only be the officials and followers who rushed to the early court.

But he was wearing civilian clothes, slovenly, with a sword behind his back!

What does he want to do?Upward with the murder weapon?Against him!

"Lord Cui, who is that person? Why haven't I seen him before?" The person who asked the question was Xiao Qilun, the envoy.

Wu Sicheng, the original general manager, became the price of Mu Hanfei's loss of power after his backer Mu Hanfei lost power a little. He lost his position and returned to his hometown to retire.

Although Xiao Qilun is only a third rank, he walks in front of the imperial court, he has to go through all the memorials of Kyushu before handing them to Emperor Pei.

This is no longer an ordinary trust.

Therefore, although he is only a third rank, sitting in his current position, no one in the civil and military courts would dare to look down on him.

And the person who was traveling with Xiao Qilun had more background, the second-rank official, Cui Yan, Minister of the Ministry of Punishment.

"It's from Supervisor Tiansi, don't ask, don't bother." Cui Yan glanced at Lin Ji, and then looked away, as if he was too secretive to talk about it in detail.

He had dealt with Lin Ji before.

Shen Hong's case was tried by three divisions, including the Ministry of Punishment.

At that time, he was one of the presiding judges in Dali Temple, and Lin Ji at that time was just a small policeman of Jiantiansi.

Of course, for a person like Cui Yan who has reached the peak of the civil service, it doesn't make any difference whether you are in charge of Tiansi or Youxing, or just arresting the head somewhere.

After all, this is Daqin.

But at the same time, Cui Yan is also very clear that in the eyes of monks who have entered the Taoist realm, his second-rank Shangshu of the Ministry of Punishment is probably just a pawn who can't stand on the stage, so don't pay attention to it, and it's not worth mentioning.

But what he didn't expect was that what he said casually to his colleagues was overheard by that person.

I saw him turn around, with a smile on his face, and the speed of chewing in his mouth was a little faster.

"Isn't this Master Cui? Long time no see, Master Cui's hair has turned gray again."

Lin Ji approached Cui Yan briskly. Originally, the guards on both sides of the sedan wanted to stop him, but in the blink of an eye, the uninvited guest in front of him was gone.

"No, in the car!"

The head guard came to his senses, but just as he was about to make some moves, he heard Cui Yan's voice.

"It's okay, you wait to perform your duties."

"Obey." The guards retreated one after another, acting as if nothing had happened.

In the sedan chair, Lin Ji swallowed the Roujiamo in two or three bites, and took another sip of the soy milk in the bowl.

"I still have half a jug of soy milk. Master Cui, do you want to drink it? The clean bowl also has Roujiamo, but I can't give it away. Although the cooks in the house have made a lot, Lin only brought two when he came out. Want to taste the taste, who would have thought that it was unexpectedly delicious, we couldn't hold back our greed, and one of them has already eaten."

While speaking, a table the size of a bed table was placed in the small sedan chair, and Lin Ji pulled out a kettle and a small bowl as if by magic.

Watching helplessly before he could speak, the other party had already poured the soy milk on it.

For a moment, the words of rejection could no longer be uttered, Cui Yan could only pick up the bowl and take a sip.

"good."

But Lin Ji flipped his hand over, and there was another Roujiamo in his hand.

Just when he was about to speak, he couldn't help but glanced at Cui Yan again, seeing Cui Yan also staring at him, a bit of distress appeared on his face.

After much deliberation, he finally gritted his teeth and made up his mind, broke off a third of the buns and handed them to Cui Yan.

"Master Cui, please use it."

"This"

Looking at the steamed bun in front of his eyes, Cui Yan didn't accept it or not.

Seeing this, Lin Ji laughed and said, "Why are you being polite to me?"

"The old man thank you, Mr. Lin, for your kindness?"

"It's not necessary."

Seeing that Lin Ji really didn't care, Cui Yan looked at the small half of the rougamo in his hand, and finally took a bite.

He always felt that it would be difficult to chat without taking a bite.

Needless to say, it tastes really good.

"Lord Lin is also going to the palace today? His Majesty summoned him?" Cui Yan finally asked what was on his mind.

"Lin came to the palace to see some fun." Lin Ji narrowed his eyes with a smile.

Seeing Cui Yan's puzzled face, Lin Ji asked: "Although Master Cui is in charge of the Ministry of Criminal Justice, he is also one of the people who go to the study room. You cannot hide important national affairs from you, and you will not hide them from you. With the current situation in the Central Plains and Kyushu, Master Cui should think about it." Do you understand something?"

"Know some." Speaking of this matter, Cui Yan couldn't laugh anymore.

Lin Ji nodded.

"For thousands of years, Daqin has claimed to be orthodox in the Kyushu, but in fact there are always a few places that Daqin can't reach."

"It's like Weizhou before, like Xiangzhou where Taiyimen is located, like Yangzhou in the south controlled by aristocratic families."

"There are always some places that Daqin can take care of but doesn't want to take care of."

"Like Qingzhou and Yanzhou in the west. These two states are the spittoons of the Kyushu in the Central Plains. When my throat feels uncomfortable, I spit into it to clear my throat, and throw away all the troubles that I can't grasp or don't want to manage."

"That's the truth, but there is still a charter, and the states will not really treat Daqin as nothing because of this."

Cui Yan couldn't refute.

"Master Lin said so."

"What about now?" Lin Ji asked again.

Cui Yan is silent.

Now in the court, everyone is announcing good news but not worrying.

Lin Ji chuckled lightly and said, "Speaking of this is just to let Mr. Cui understand that even if I am a selfish person who ignores world affairs in the eyes of your civil officials and only knows about cultivation, I understand the situation in my heart. And we compared you We see more thoroughly and know more, it has nothing to do with wisdom, it only depends on height."

"That's why Lin went to court today. Lin wanted to have a good time, and wanted to keep someone alive, that's all."

"Looking for fun? Saving lives?"

"Let's see if Daqin will really have the fun of falling apart because of this, and keep a colleague with some conscience alive."
