Li Jianbi has been in the Imperial Academy for more than eight years since he entered the Imperial Academy on the [-]th. He studied under Su Ziqing, the former imperial historian, and his biological father was the chief assistant of the former cabinet. He has been in the officialdom since he was not an official. A pair of eyes are quenched like fire, not to mention seeing through at a glance, at least they can see through six or seven points.

Li Jianbi has always been confident in her own vision, until she met Fan Pingqiu, the new minister of punishment.

This person has been demoted to Qishan for more than ten years, how can he change so much when he comes back now?It's completely reborn, and it's not the same person as in the rumors.He looked and looked at him, pondered and pondered, but he couldn't figure out this person no matter what.

He originally thought that this person had a deep friendship with his teacher, and now that he took office, he would definitely stand with him.I don't want the fact that it's not the case at all.

Li Jianbi thought, this person probably used to be too scared when he was an official, and when he was young, he was able to fight for justice, regardless of life and death.Now he is nearly forty years old, and he has two sons. After all, he has concerns in his heart, so he acts so cautiously, not daring to offend others.

Li Jianbi thought: This man is certainly afraid of death, but at least he is diligent in criminal affairs, conscientious and conscientious, and he is a good official.It is rare for him to be unbiased.Da Xuan Youchen is like this, he should be happy.

Just when he thought so, the people from Yushi Metropolitan Office ran over and told him something, and he couldn't be happy immediately.

The man said: A few days ago, the chief minister of the cabinet went to Mr. Fan's Shangshu Mansion. Mr. Fan didn't open the door, but Liang Yenian shamelessly barged in.When he entered the Shangshu Mansion, he brought three beautiful women with him, and when he came out, his face was full of joy, but the three women were gone!

Li Jianbi raised his head and asked, "You mean that Liang Yenian gave Fan Pingqiu three beauties, so Fan Pingqiu will take them?"

The waiter nodded like garlic.

Li Jianbi closed his eyes and said nothing, but the anger in his heart surged up: this Fan Pingqiu just got a famous dancer not long ago, and within a month, he actually took in three more girls!This shameless thing, how lustful and lustful he is, and dissatisfied with his desires, isn't he afraid of being old, and suddenly exhausted while serving people at night!

He was not angry that Liang Yenian gave away the beauties, but that Fan Pingqiu received the beauties.Li Jianbi took a sip of herbal tea and said I got it.He looked calm on the outside, but he slapped Fan An hard in his heart.

He was dissatisfied with Fan An in his heart, but his people stared at the Shangshu Mansion every day, but they didn't find anything wrong.

Unexpectedly, a few days later, his censor came over and told him something.It is said that when the lord visited Shangshu's mansion a few months ago, he asked the officials to check the birth mothers of lord fan's two sons.I checked the prefecture where Fan Pingqiu was demoted at that time, he was in Qishan at that time, indeed he had only one wife, and never had a concubine.At that time, the four military attendants who escorted Fan Pingqiu to Beijing said that those two were Fan Pingqiu's sons. I found it strange, so I asked the Shaoqing of Dali Temple to arrest those four people for interrogation. Sure enough, one of them was not Fan Pingqiu's son.

Shi Yushi said: It turned out that he was robbed by bandits on the way to Beijing, and the guards of the state where he lived rescued him. The leader of the bandits had a two-year-old baby. Be your own son.

Li Jianbi snorted, holding on to review the papers, his eyes glowed softly.After being silent for a while, he said: "Although the child is young, he is also guilty. He has committed the crime of covering up. If he commits a crime knowingly, the crime will be aggravated. As the minister of the Ministry of Punishment and the head of the criminal law, he is an example, and the crime is aggravated." Third class is not too much."

He was determined to catch Fan An's handle, he saw the need for it, and once he saw a breach, he could pull out Fan An's internal organs with one hand.

Fan An's move was out of humanity, but it is too unkind to punish him for this.Li Jianbi thought: This matter can be used as an excuse to blackmail him, but he cannot be impeached for the crime of covering up, otherwise it will lose people's hearts if it is reasonable.

He thought about it, so he planned to scare Fan An with this matter. If he did it well, he might get twice the result with half the effort and win that person's heart.At the very least, it prevented him from blatantly facing the cabinet.

Thinking of this, he ordered the servant Yushi beside him, saying that I am going to have a banquet at the mansion tonight, you make an invitation and send it to the Shangshu Mansion, and Master Fan must come to the banquet in person.

The attendant Yushi understood, and went to Shangshu's mansion without eating at noon.He got off the carriage at the gate of Shangshu Mansion and asked the guards at the gate to go in and report.The doorman sized him up and said, "Master Fan is not here today, if there is anything we need to convey to you."

Bai Yushi smiled, and said that it was nothing, but my Master Li is hosting a banquet tonight, and he wants to invite Master Fan to dinner.Mr. Fan has been in office for several months, but he has not expressed anything, and he feels very guilty.

"Master Li said that if Mr. Fan doesn't come today, he will come to invite you in person." Bai Yushi said, "It doesn't matter whether Mr. Fan fell, fell ill, or died, anyway, he won't come today. But it is absolutely not possible." The four people wanted to say, how do you talk?But seeing him smiling like a joke, and seeing that he was wearing a fifth-rank official uniform, even though he was not of Fan An's rank, he could not be offended.So he just stood there and didn't talk back.

Bai Yushi said and handed a piece of invitation to the attendant, saying that when your Master Fan comes back, don't forget to tell him.

After Bai Yushi finished speaking, he left.The four door attendants received Fan An's orders on weekdays: as long as anyone from the court officials came to see him or invite them to a banquet, they would not be there.But the four of them held the invitation card in their hands, thinking that if their adults didn't go, what if Li Jian Bizhen came to invite him in person.So he went in and informed Fan An.

Fan An held the invitation card in his hand, his heart fluttered.This Li Jianbi disliked him so much at the flower viewing banquet a few days ago, how could he think of inviting him to dinner today?Could it be that his mind has changed drastically and he knows his own benefits? — Daydreaming!How could that person who is cold and hard-hearted have a good impression of him, and besides, he has offended him again and again, so this time could not be a grand banquet.

Fan An squeaked and said: "Hey... I'm not feeling well these days, so I can't go. You can help me go to Mr. Li's mansion to answer."

The doorman replied: "The censor who delivered the letter said that if your lord does not go, no matter what the reason, Lord Li will come to invite you in person." The other person saw Fan An's expression of embarrassment, and said: "My lord is in the third rank. Minister of the Ministry of Punishment, why are you afraid of that man? Sir, don’t worry, just bring a few more people with you. Don’t people from Lantai dare to eat you?”

Fan An thought to himself, if I am already in Yushifu, what's the use of bringing more people?Is it possible to bring the thugs, prison guards and executioners of the Ministry of punishment?Then it's just like finding fault and fighting, what does it look like?

In fact, it's just a meal. It's perfectly normal for a new official to take office and socialize with helpers, so why be so vigilant.But he is not Fan Pingqiu, a villain who killed the court official and impersonated him. He is very guilty. What he is most afraid of is getting involved with the people and things investigated by the criminal investigation. "Can't be offended", just thinking about Li Jianbi's cold and sharp eagle-like eyes made his hairs stand on end.

Hey... Fan An thought, why is Li Jianbi the leader of Lantai?It looks like a Biye peony flower, but it has spikes all over its body, so that he can only look at it from a distance, but dare not take a closer look, let alone play it, he even sniffed it. I don't even have the guts.

Since you don't have the guts, go for it.

Before you arrived in the afternoon, the servants prepared the carriage for him. Fan An originally brought four attendants with him to protect the courtyard. So he went to Li's mansion to have a banquet.

Along the way, Fan An's right eye kept twitching. People say that the left eye twitches money and the right eye twitches disaster. Could it be that he will encounter some unlucky natural disaster today?

Fan An's carriage arrived at Li Jianbi's mansion, and as soon as he raised the curtain and poked his head out, a servant from Li's mansion came to greet him.The censor surnamed Bai came out of the gate, and when he saw it, he came over to pull him in person, saying, Mr. Fan, why are you so late, Mr. Li has been waiting for you for a long time!

Fan An watched him smile when he spoke, and his heart, which had just been sinking, was beating up and down again, and his right eyelid was beating more diligently.

The Bai Yushi pulled him, walked through the gate of the official mansion, and entered the Jinglang High Courtyard. Fan An walked, and the weather was warm in April, but for some reason, his forehead was breaking out in cold sweat.Behind him was a group of servants from the Li family, all dressed in dark clothes, their faces were so cold that it could snow.

Fan An thought: How does this situation look like a prisoner in custody?His heart beat faster and faster, he just felt that he was going to die instead of going to a banquet.

He stopped abruptly at the thought of this, but couldn't move at all while looking ahead.Bai Yushi looked back at him and asked Mr. Fan what's wrong with you?Fan An glanced at him, and said: "I still have a small gift on the carriage that I want to give to Mr. Li this time! I got out of the carriage in a hurry, and forgot to ask the groom to take it down. I will go and order it now!"

As he said that, he turned around and was about to go back. Unexpectedly, a few servants of the Li family behind him actually stopped him. Bai Yushi came and grabbed his arm and dragged him forward, saying: "What kind of gift do you want, Mr. Li sincerely invites you , why are you so polite!"

Fan An was forcibly dragged forward, and the slaves behind him also came up to push Fan An.Fan An thought, this situation is very bad, but now, how can there be a way out?So he hurriedly said: "Don't push, don't push, I'll go by myself!"

"Okay." After hearing this, Bai Yushi let go of his hand. He led Fan An to the gate of the inner mansion, and said, "Then Master Fan, go in by yourself, and Master Li will be inside."

Fan An looked along the thousand-step stone corridor, and could see the vermilion lacquered door of the inner building wide open from a distance.Thousands of feet high, the sun is shining brightly, making the interior dark and blurry.Under the deep purple glazed tiles, there is a golden plaque shining brightly: Tianhe Kuigang.Fan An took a deep breath, and felt that the plaque was facing him like a shining mirror, planning to take away this villain who was doing something wrong today.

Fan An swallowed, walked over slowly.
