Datang Almighty Dad

Chapter 503 Xu Bin's Past
On the right side, Lin Jiulang didn't know that the person he sent to investigate the case was detained by Li Bi. He never thought that Li Bi, a young boy, was so bold.

At this moment, he was still thinking about how to incriminate the crown prince and bring down Jing'an Division.Taking advantage of the evening meal, I chatted with Ji Wen at the dinner table.In ancient times, it was not three meals a day, and it also depended on the regional customs and material level of the dynasty. At this time, the people of the Tang Dynasty retained the custom of eating two meals in the morning and two meals in the evening, but rich and noble families had three meals a day, or even four meals a day. foot.Supper is the meal eaten just before sunset.

Looking at the delicious food on the table, Ji Wen's appetite whetted his appetite. After running for a whole day without any water or rice, he was already hungry, and was finally rewarded by the right minister for a dinner together. It was worth it!

He had just picked up the chopsticks and hadn't picked up any food yet. The Prime Minister on the right asked, "Ji Wen, who created the Jing'an Division's great copywriting technique? He Jian has reported his achievements to the court several times, saying that this technique is miraculous. Assist the sage in managing the affairs of the world."

Ji Wen hastily put down his chopsticks, and replied respectfully: "The big case is an original creation of Xu Bin. It is said that according to the various numbers recorded in my Tang files and case letters, the truth can be accurately inferred and the future can be predicted. "

Right Prime Minister Lin Jiulang paced back and forth, groaning silently, while Ji Wen looked down at the dishes.

"It's not some kind of charlatan, is it?" The Prime Minister asked again.

Ji Wen could only look away reluctantly, "This Xu Bin, whose name is Youde, used to be a bookmaker in the Ministry of Household Affairs, and he has a very good memory. He was the first batch of callers from the Jing'an Division. Once he entered the Jing'an Division, he promoted Great casework. This man is so sarcastic and ridiculous, he does not make friends with the world, does not care about the world, and concentrates on studying mathematics. He once said that only numbers can reveal the truth of the world, and the law of numbers is the law that applies everywhere. "

Prime Minister on the right narrowed his eyes slightly, and said with a sneer: "What you said, does it mean that you see this Xu Bin clearly?"

Turning around to look at a pile of documents on the table not far away, Prime Minister on the right laughed and said, "Is a person's achievements and remarks passed down by word of mouth the true face of this person?"

Ji Wen was really hungry. Taking advantage of the time when Prime Minister Right turned around, he dipped his hand in the soup and licked it twice to satisfy his greed. At the same time, he took a piece of chicken, but before he could eat it, Prime Minister Right turned around again. Ji Wen could only eat the chicken Tuck it into your sleeve.

The Right Prime Minister once again turned into a big man with insight into people's hearts, and said loudly: "Is the comment of the world the true face of this person? People of later generations, guessed biography, historical materials, and portraits drawn out of thin air by the painter, can restore the true face of this person. Is this person’s true face? It’s just that, the person who reads the story wants to see it, and the person who writes the story writes it as he wants.”

Ji Wen continued: "Xu Bin is low-key and introverted, and never publishes poems and essays. So there are not many materials to be found."

The right minister glanced at this subordinate in distaste, "The poems written are just a momentary feeling. Based on these few words, broken bricks and tiles? Can one guess that this person's motivation for doing things is also a reason?"

Patting the thick letter on the table, Lin Jiulang said: "These are all the invitations and poetry collections that I heard that I will be acting as the government. I know, these people want to I'll take another look and promote them, and in the future, we will work together for Datang. But, from these things, I can judge who is worthy and who is not?"

Ji Wen bowed his hands and said: "Look, his previous achievements."

Lin Jiulang said disdainfully: "Compared with the literal writing, minus half, you are considered an honest person. Even if it is completely fake, people who read it don't have much thought to distinguish the authenticity from the fake."

Sure enough, he is worthy of being the prime minister of the Tang Dynasty, and he can see through the essence at a glance. Isn't this the falsification of academic qualifications and resumes of later generations?Don't the leaders know it's a fake?Of course you know everything, but the world is full of counterfeiters, who just jump out of them and use them.

Ji Wen understood, walked out, bowed to the right minister, and looked like he was studying: "Then, how should we cut off people?"

"Relationship!" Lin Jiulang stretched out a finger, and said decisively, "See who this person used to be and who was his enemy."

Ji Wen suddenly realized, turned around and picked up a plate of meat and said, "Understood! The meat tastes the same, the key is to see which cook made it. The chef in Youxiangfu is said to be the number one in Chang'an. The saint will never forget it after eating it." .”

Lin Jiulang was speechless, I have said so much, but you only think of eating?

"Relationships and achievements will all be written into the historical materials, it depends on whether the person who reads them can read them."

Ji Wen recalled: "Xu Bin, when he was admitted to the imperial examination at the age of 24, he was from the eighth grade. I am afraid that he has never attached himself to anyone."

The right minister analyzed: "If you don't advance, you will retreat. The officialdom of the Tang Dynasty never leaves people without ambitions. The reason why he is still in this position is not without other reasons. Check! Check the people behind Xu Bin."

"Ah? Are you going now? It's already time for the evening meal... The subordinates are worried about the right minister, and there are still three hundred barrels of Fuhuo Lei missing, so why don't you leave early after eating, and wait until you enter the Huae Xianghui Building. It's safe."

The Prime Minister on the right said in a deep voice: "If I don't stay here as bait, how can I prove that the crown prince colluded with the wolf guards outside the Great Wall and plotted to assassinate my court officials? There are hundreds of guards in my mansion, after all, they are better than the road, I will stay here, you go quickly."

"Ji Wen will do it right away, and share the worries for the right minister."

"Oh, by the way, Sifang (the old housekeeper), pack some dinner for him and eat it on the way."

Ji Wen was inexplicably moved, "Thank you Prime Minister for your compassion."

After sending Ji Wen away, Lin Jiulang instructed the housekeeper to take out all the dry poems and greeting cards and burn them, looking upset.

Half an hour later, Ji Wen returned in a hurry, "Your Prime Minister, there are clues, it's Supervisor He! Xu Bin once sold his job privately, and it seems that he is short of money. But half a year ago, someone gave him a large sum of money. The person who gave him the money was He Fu, the stupid son of He Jian. Without the permission of He Jian, how could a stupid person spend a lot of money?"

Prime Minister on the right listened quietly and nodded, "What did Xu Bin do today?"

"Investigate the case with big case and document skills, recommend Zhang Xiaojing, and hide from Li Bi that he and Zhang Xiaojing are old friends."

Lin Jiulang sneered, "It really wasn't selected by some great casework, but by people!"

Ji Wen nodded, "The right minister is wise! Xu Bin hides his selfishness. Because Zhang Xiaojing is his good friend, he hopes that Zhang Xiaojing will handle the case, help him make meritorious deeds, and be exempted from the death penalty."

The Prime Minister on the right patted Ji Wen on the shoulder and reminded him: "Your uncle Ji Xu was also a prime minister in the Wu Zhou Dynasty. Didn't he teach you? In the officialdom, it's not that there is no pleasure in helping others, but the fun lies in , Is it beneficial to him. Xu Bin, if he recommends friends without telling his superiors, he will be guilty if he fails. Tang Lv also doesn’t say that merits and demerits are equal, what benefits can he get?”

Ji Wen didn't ask for a deep understanding, "These low-level officials don't seek to make progress, and they act weirdly. Ji Wen can't guess what it means for a while. However, there is this stupid thing done by Xu Bin, and there is evidence of He Fu giving money. Regardless of whether the case of Jing'an Division is completed or not, from Li Bi to He Jian to the crown prince, they have joined forces and used death row prisoners for private use, and the charges of conspiracy to commit crimes will be confirmed."

On Jing'an Division's side, the scholar Cen Shen finally figured out Xu Bin's problem, which was very problematic.
