Lord Shoufu, your wife has escaped!

Sure enough, just as Gu Mingzhou thought, the Huizhou Tongmu case was raised high, and finally fell gently.

After Yang Yixiu asked to be executed in autumn, all his property was confiscated; Yang Meng was dismissed from his post and could no longer be used; the county magistrate of Chonghai was dismissed from his post and could not be used...

As for its

All other officials are safe and sound.

Yu Taiqing's face was dark when he came back from the morning court, obviously he lost the quarrel in the morning court, and everyone was trembling and afraid to speak.

That's all there is to it, but when it was evening bell, an invitation was suddenly delivered to Gu Ming.

state at hand.

Against the eyes of everyone, Gu Mingzhou opened it and saw that it was Zhang Li!

At this juncture, Zhang Li invited him to dinner?

I'm afraid nothing good will happen.

"A post from the Zhang family?" Tang Man opened his mouth, "You...

...are you planning to go? "

"Hmph, whether you are beaten or humiliated, it has nothing to do with me, but you represent the face of our household department by going out, don't let our household department be ashamed!"

Gu Mingzhou squinted at him: "Master Tang, just rest assured."

Tang Manzheng thought that he was going to back down, only to hear the young man calmly say: "Master Shoufu is no different than ordinary people, so he won't beat me up."

"..." Is this the point? The point is Hubu's face, okay?

However, he didn't say anything for a while, he just looked at Gu Mingzhou,

There was a moment of uneasiness.

Gu Mingzhou collected his things and left, walking towards Zhang's mansion calmly.

Everyone looked at his back, and suddenly someone asked, "Can he do it?"

Zhang's mansion is almost the same as it is in memory, with a noble and dignified hall.

Gu Mingzhou was led to the living room by his servants, only to realize that he wasn't the only one who came.

The Ministry of Punishment Minister, Minister of Industry and other officials were there, and Xiao Yu was also inside. The group stared at Gu Mingzhou with somewhat complicated eyes.

Hongmen Banquet?Gu Mingzhou sneered in his heart, Zhang

Has Li also been reduced to using such low methods?

"The next official pays homage to Lord Shoufu."

Zhang Li stroked his snow-white beard and said with a chuckle, "You don't need to be polite, just sit down. Xiao Yu, I heard that he is your student? Why haven't I heard of it before?"

Xiao Yu's forehead

Breaking out in a cold sweat, I was embarrassed for a while.

Dare he say it?With Gu Mingzhou's style of doing things, he is afraid that one day he will be dragged down to death!

Really, the more he thought about it, the angrier he became. Why was he so obsessed with this troublemaker back then?

"Master Chief Assistant, if I

Let me mention this teacher-student relationship more, I'm afraid this guy who doesn't know what's good or bad will take advantage of my power and don't know how arrogant he is." Xiao Yu smiled bitterly, "From now on, it's better not to have taken this apprentice. "

Zhang Li let out a burst of laughter, but he couldn't tell whether he was happy or unhappy, Xiao Yu's heart pounded when he heard it.

"It seems that you two, master and apprentice, still have a lot to talk about, why don't you just sit together." Zhang Li said casually.

This time, the atmosphere became a little subtle.

In officialdom entertainment, the seating position is very particular, and those with high official positions and those who are highly valued will be ranked first

Well, with Gu Mingzhou's official position, let alone a low-level one, he is not qualified to participate in today's dinner party.

Xiao Yu was sitting on Zhang Li's right hand, which belonged to an honorable position. Gu Mingzhou sitting next to him, wouldn't he overwhelm everyone?

Even Gu Mingzhou was taken aback for a moment, not knowing that the old man

What kind of medicine does Luli sell?

Following the exchange of greetings, several officials laughed and flattered Zhang Li, and the scene became lively for a while.

Gu Mingzhou sat down beside Xiao Yu, and Xiao Yu lowered his voice and said bitterly: "How dare you come here today!"

Gu Mingzhou hooked his lips: "Where did the teacher come from? How dare the students refuse the invitation of Mr. Shoufu?"

"If you really don't have the guts, how could you make such a big fuss?" Xiao Yu gritted his teeth, "Don't think that if you offend Mr. Shoufu, you can pass by lightly. You will be cleaned up later, and I won't help you.

Be smart! "

Gu Mingzhou frowned slightly, and then heard Zhang Li speaking slowly.

"Master Gu, I heard that you investigated the Tongmu case in Huizhou?"

coming.

Gu Mingzhou raised his head without fear, and met Zhang Li's eyes

: "It's right here."

"Haven't you ever thought that Yang Yixiu is the old man's relative, and the old man is the chief assistant of Daxing who is under one person and above ten thousand?"

Zhang Li squinted his eyes, and his old eyes actually projected a frightening light, making it hard to look at!

"I thought about it," Gu Mingzhou said, "but what should be done, I still have to do."

He seemed to be saying something that was taken for granted, and his eyes did not evade.

Xiao Yu was about to die of anger, how could he be so stupid?Didn't he hint just now that Mr. Shoufu is going to make trouble?Gu Mingzhou

Can't you be subdued?

It's still up to him to be a teacher.

Standing up brazenly, Xiao Yu said angrily: "You bastard, you dare to confront Mr. Shoufu in public, who gave you the courage!"

"Come here, and apologize to Master Chief Assistant, that's all.

past. "

"Lord Xiao." Zhang Li said, stopping Xiao Yu's movements.

Xiao Yu's heart skipped a beat.

Unexpectedly, Zhang Li smiled slightly: "I think he said it very well."

"There is a vacancy in the Ministry of Industry.

A decent servant, do you see if you are interested? "

Everyone: "...."

What's the situation, Zhang Li wants to win over Gu Mingzhou? !

Who is speaking?Today's Chief Assistant!

Who is this person who has been wooed?a home

A poor sixth-rank member!

Everyone here doesn't want to be appreciated. When they were young, they had this kind of dream more or less, but everyone knows that when the gap between the top and the bottom is too big, there is often no small official in the eyes of the superior, no matter how good they are. , It is already very good to get a compliment.

As a result, this impossible situation actually happened!

There was a moment of silence in the hall, only a few unsteady breathing could be heard.

"Master Shoufu favors him so much, the lower officials are really terrified..."

"Don't be afraid,

This is what it should be," Zhang Li sighed, "Not everyone can be able to defy the powerful and serve the people wholeheartedly. It is a great fortune to have such talents, and it is reasonable to do more practical things to share the worries of the Holy One. "

Having said all this, Gu Mingzhou had to make a statement.

He stood up, bowed to Zhang Li, and said in a deep voice: "The lower official is in his position, but he has only done some duties, and he cannot be worthy of the love of the chief assistant. As an official of the court, he should Serving the country is the same no matter where you are.”

"Hehehe, it's still a nostalgic one," Zhang Lixun

"But sometimes you think about others, but others may not see you in their eyes. This old man assures you that after you come to the Ministry of Industry, everything you suffered in the Ministry of Housing will not happen."

"My lord, I..."

"Don't rush to answer, you think about it again, three

I will give the old man the answer later. Zhang Li interrupted him with an indescribably kind and amiable expression.

Everyone vomited blood in their hearts.

In just half a year after entering the officialdom, he was promoted from household official to minister. Where can he find such a good opportunity?

five years to know

To be promoted to three ranks in a row is already extremely smooth in the officialdom. Now that he has been promoted to three ranks in half a year, what is he dissatisfied with?

If you are not satisfied, let them come! ! !
