As soon as Fan An's words came out, Li Jianbi stopped her body.He straightened up, helped Fan An up, and said, "Thank you, Mr. Fan." As he spoke, his eyes were filled with a smile again, and he raised his hands softly, supporting Fan An's arm, even through the silk cloth Weaving clothes, but those fingers seemed to melt Fan An's skin.

Fan An stood up tremblingly, guilt, joy and fear mingled and surged, making his heart beat up and down, and he couldn't tell what it was like.

"Since you are in poor health, I can't disturb you anymore." As soon as Li Jianbi's words fell, Fan An wiped his forehead, and hurriedly said, "Don't dare to disturb you. If my lord wants to leave, I will see you off." He said Then he went to open the door for Li Jianbi, but he didn't want Li Jianbi to grab his hand and said no, you were injured and couldn't walk, so he helped him to lie down on the bed and squeezed Fan An's hand Shoulder.

When Fan An was pinched by him, he felt all the muscles in his body tremble.Li Jianbi twirled the quilt for him, and said: "Then I will wait for you in the court tomorrow." Fan An was stunned and forgot to answer, but fortunately Li Jianbi didn't mind, he let go and got up, and looked back at Fan An , opened the bedroom door and went out.

Yuanzhu was standing under the porch outside the door. Li Jianbi saw her and called her over, saying that there is medicine for stick wounds in my house. It was a tribute from the Western Regions and was bestowed by the emperor. It is useless for me to leave it alone. If your lord needs it, please send someone to my house to get it.

After Yuanzhu heard this, she was very grateful to Li Jianbi.While she was talking, two children walked by the veranda. When they saw Li Jianbi, they hid at the corner of the wall and watched secretly.

These two little dolls were seen by Li Jianbi at a glance, and he changed his mind and asked, "Are those two children the sons of Mr. Fan?"

Yuanzhu turned his head and took a look, and smiled and said yes yes.She thought that Li Jianbi was just asking casually, but she didn't want Li Jianbi to look at it for a while, and then started to walk towards the two children.

The two children stared blankly at him and did not speak. Li Jianbi bent down, stroked the tops of their heads, and suddenly asked, "How old are these two?" Yuan Zhu said, "My lord, they are both only two years old." .”

"Oh." Li Jianbi stood up and said with a smile, "I think he is about the same age." He turned around as he spoke, and led a few people from Yushitai to the exit of Xiulou.

He walked a few steps, and asked the censor at the side, "Have you seen Fan Pingqiu's two sons?"

The censor said he saw it, and Li Jianbi said again: "Those two only sons are probably two years old, but as far as I know, Fan Pingqiu only married one wife. Could it be that when he was demoted to Qishan, he also took a concubine? "

Another person behind him heard the words: "He did not take concubines when he was an official in the court more than ten years ago, and it is even more impossible to take concubines when he was exiled to Qishan." The person laughed, "I guess he came with a woman from Fireworks and Willow Lane An illegitimate child."

Li Jianbi had heard about Fan Pingqiu's reputation in his early years. According to the legend, he was a clean and honest person, and his private life was even more polite.How could such a person associate with the woman in Yanhualiu Lane?In fact, this kind of thing is very normal. Three wives and four concubines are like this for ordinary people, not to mention high-ranking officials in Beijing and China, who are neither short of money nor romantic.

But who is Li Jianbi? He has been the censor of Lantai for three years, and what he does is to supervise and review. So let it go.So he immediately ordered: "I feel a little strange, you go and find out who the biological mother of these two people is for me."

Li Jianbi had just finished speaking when Fan An, who was lying in the room, sneezed.He has encountered these scary things every day in the past few days, and his cold sweat has flowed layer after layer, and now he is about to get a cold from covering the quilt.

What can I do tomorrow morning?He really didn't dare to go against Liang Yenian. He trembled when he thought of that servant called Li Changchuan. This man was loyal to the chief minister of the cabinet. Once he offended him, he might be stabbed on the street someday. two knives.

Li Jianbi was charming, but listening to what he said and what he did, it was obvious that he was a murderer without blood.Those eyes swept coldly, enough to make Fan An kneel down and beg for mercy.

Both parties can't afford to offend... Fan An was struggling, scratching his hair and really wanted to hit him to death!

But even if you want to die, what should come will still come.

The next day, the five drums played for the first time, and all the officials were listed.Fan An opened a pair of bloodshot eyes, and walked into the Jinliu Palace joltingly. His buttocks were still hurting, and he almost fell on the ground and couldn't get up after shouting long live with everyone.

In the past, these ministers always had endless things to talk about, but today is different. Thanks to the service yesterday, most of them stopped.Everyone was apprehensive, but no one dared to take the lead in bringing up the matter of Yang Qian's dismissal: Longyan was furious yesterday, and the aftermath has not yet passed. Everyone on the cusp of this storm is very knowledgeable about current affairs, and they are all waiting for others to pick their heads.

Let alone this top priority, no one dared to mention other trivial matters.

The court was quiet, and Fan An's heart was raised in his throat.He swallowed his saliva and glanced at Li Jianbi in front of him, but he still didn't dare to take a step.

The eunuch next to the emperor's throne waited quietly for a while, and found that these ministers are really peaceful today. Could it be that the purple air is coming from the east today, everything is fine, and the world is fine?He tightened his throat and reminded loudly: If there is something to do, he will play, and if there is nothing to do, he will retreat.

"My Majesty, Fan Pingqiu, Shangshu of the Ministry of Punishment, has something to announce." A clear voice suddenly fell on the ground like frozen beads, making all the officials perk up their ears.

Fan An only felt his legs go limp, and he almost fell to the ground: Seeing that he refused to speak, Li Jianbi opened the mouth for him!

In an instant, everyone raised their heads slightly, and the people from the cabinet and the imperial platform on both sides looked over, and dozens of pairs of eyes fell on Fan An.Fan An took a sharp breath and was too scared to move.

Seeing him not moving for a long time, the eunuch on Fenglong Terrace asked urgently, "Master Fan, what do you have to say?"

Fan An had no choice but to take a step to the left. He lowered his head with an elephant wat in his hand, swallowed his saliva, and said in a trembling voice: "Wei Chen went to Beijing for several days, passing through the three continents of Yi, Si, and Gu, and found various places in Zhuzhou city. Constructing objects for offerings, depicting the main costumes of the princesses, all inlaid with gold and copper. This is an extravagant thing in the name of the god and the king. The people complained a lot, and none of the discussants thought it was frugal. This is a holy worry. Also. If Your Majesty can bestow an imperial edict to save money, and show off the ignorance, it will surely increase the reputation of the Son of Heaven."

With one word, the whole room was silent.

Everyone thought that he was going to say something about Yang Jian, and the cabinet and people in Lantai had all cleaned their ears and prepared their mouths to echo and refute, but this person just said this?

At this time, let's talk about such trivial things as "diligence and thrift"? !

The sage sitting on the Dragon Terrace was also stunned for a moment, and then said: "Unexpectedly, the common people complained, this is my fault. The Ministry of Household Affairs will take care of this matter in another day." He asked again, "Does Aiqing have any other questions?" thing?"

Everyone's eyes shot at Fan An again.Fan An gently wiped the cold sweat from his ears with his elbow, thought for a moment, and said, "No."

As soon as the voice fell, Li Jianbi looked over from the side, and all the censor servants followed his eyes and fell on Fan An. Fan An felt countless sharp knives flying towards him, without a sound. He was poked into a sieve in an instant, and the blood inside was flowing like a river, and it was about to spurt out of his mouth.

But after a while, the Holy Majesty announced his retreat.Fan An raised his head, and Li Jianbi in the distance turned around, and sure enough, he walked towards him!He was startled, subconsciously tightened his belt, and before Li Jianbi came up to him, he turned around, pouted his butt, and ran away without stopping!

When Fan An returned to the Shangshu Mansion, he asked someone to close the door, and he repeatedly told his servants: No matter who comes to see me later, they will say that I am not here!

He broke his promise this time, and never dared to see Li Jianbi again.He went to Hongwu Gate every time he went to the court, and he didn't give anyone a chance to chat with him, and he never lingered in the Liu Palace when he retired from the court, and left as soon as he left.Every time Li saw Bi retreat and turn around, Fan An behind him had long since disappeared.Even if they meet unexpectedly in the palace occasionally, that person will immediately go far away.

Li Jianbi's heart as calm as a stone was provoked by him: This man broke his promise, and it's fine without an apology, but is it necessary to feel like he's seen a ghost every time he sees him? !Did he secretly force him to do something shameful? !It is rumored that Fan Pingqiu is such a strong person, this time he really echoed the old saying "seeing is better than hearing a hundred times, and seeing is worse than seeing once".Or is it that the decades of hard life in Qishan have smoothed the edges and corners of this person's arrogance?

Li Jianbi asked the waiter at the side: You said that Fan Pingqiu has changed his mind and is going to help the cabinet deal with my Lantai this time?

The servant said: "Not necessarily. I think this man stays in Shangshu Mansion all day. He doesn't see any guests from our Lantai, but he also doesn't see any guests from the cabinet. I think he is just cowardly. No one dares to offend him, so he makes up his mind." He made up his mind not to associate with anyone, and buried himself in criminal cases big and small, and became his white-handed minister."

"How can there be such a good thing in the world? If it is so easy to be an official, then why am I working so hard? I will try him again another day. I don't believe that it is so stormy that he can make him pour a bowl of water from head to toe. The end is flat." Li Jianbi held the yellow scroll in his hand, thought for a while and said, "But then again, if every official is as timid and honest as he is, the entire Procuratorate will be useless, and I will It's completely at ease."

The servant next to him laughed and said, "Don't your lord like to be idle?"

"If all the civil and military officials in the Manchu Dynasty are honest and honest, and abide by their duties. There is no suffering in the country, and there is no slavery in the court, why wouldn't I be happy to be idle." Li Jianbi twitched his eyebrows and said, "I, I would rather go to farm for a lifetime."
