After these changes, the sky is already bright, and everyone is sleepless. Chen Ming said, "there are so many things we have experienced along the way. In my opinion, let's not stay here too long. Let's have breakfast here and get on the road quickly."

The sun god king said: "what the four younger sisters said is reasonable. In case there are other killers sent by Shi Miyuan, we will be in trouble. After breakfast, we will go on our way immediately."

After the discussion, Xue Ren and Chen Ming went to the kitchen of the post station to cook something. They ate together, and then they set out on the road.

Since the Sun God King joined, this group of people had nothing to do on the road. Every day, they spent the night, and finally arrived at the gate of Lin'an.

Seeing that this line of work has been safely achieved, sun god Jun said that he likes to play around, so he will no longer be with Chen Wenduan and they will drift away.

Xue Ren and his disciples, the leader of the beggars' sect, bid farewell to Chen Wenduan and went to Lin'an branch of the beggars' sect to cultivate themselves.

After Chen Ming and Chen Wenduan's brother and sister separated from the others, they went back to Chen's house together.

Besides, Shi Miyuan had people from all over the world to inquire about the news, so the news of Chen Wenduan's return to Lin'an mansion was soon known to Shi Miyuan.

In addition, the two men sent by him to assassinate Chen Wenduan failed, so he was in a very bad mood, walking around in the study, very irritable.

Just at this time, the housekeeper of the prime minister's office came to the study in a hurry and reported to Shi Miyuan: "Li Zhixiao is visiting."

Shi Miyuan thought, "although Li Zhixiao is a close friend of his own, he hasn't come to his prime minister's residence alone for a long time. How did he come to see me today?"

Thinking of this, Shi Miyuan told the housekeeper to take the man to his study.

In other words, Li Zhixiao was also an official. His grandfather once served as a governor of the Song Dynasty. Li Zhixiao was very smart and studious since he was a child. He was admitted to the senior Jinshi in his early twenties and was soon appointed as the official in charge of writing in the prime minister's Office. Generally speaking, this official position is too low for a Jinshi, but he is good at voting By taking advantage of the opportunity, he soon won the favor of prime minister Shi Miyuan. Naturally, his official position soared all the way up to the present right counsellor and became one of Shi Miyuan's three dogs.

After a short time, Li Zhixiao came to the study. When he saw Shi Miyuan, he immediately bowed himself and said, "I haven't been to the prime minister's house for many days to say hello to the prime minister. Today, I specially came to the prime minister's house to say hello to the prime minister."

Shi Miyuan snorted, waved to let Li Zhixiao sit down, and said: "Mr. Li, if you haven't come to the prime minister's house for such a long time, don't you have a new backer and ignore me?"

Listening to the tone of Shi Miyuan's speech, Li Zhixiao knows that it's because he hasn't come to greet Shi Miyuan recently, so Shi Miyuan is angry with himself.

So Li Zhixiao explained to Shi Miyuan in a hurry: "Mr. Xiang, you are the one who promoted me, so I have always respected you very much. But you know that some ministers attacked you for forming a clique and engaging in private affairs, saying that I am also one of your best friends. If I still have too close contact with you, wouldn't it be right for me to give them a reward In order to be honest, considering these, I have come to your residence recently. Please understand

Hearing what Li Zhixiao said, Shi Miyuan was quite comfortable and said with a smile: "Mr. Li, I have worked with you for many years. I know you very well. You are thinking for me. How can I blame you?"

"If you understand me, thank you very much." Li Zhixiao said.

Shi Miyuan asked, "Mr. Li, when I come to my residence today, I don't know what else to do except to say hello."

Li Zhixiao replied: "the prime minister knows me. The lower official does have other things about Chen Wenduan, Minister of the Ministry of punishment."

"Tell me." He said to Liu Zhiyuan.

Li Zhi filial piety: "prime minister, this Chen Wenduan has been against you since he became the Minister of the Ministry of punishment. No, as soon as Chen Wenduan came back from Huaixi official business, some ministers of the Court went to his residence to discuss how to impeach Prime Minister you."

"How do you know this?" Shi Miyuan asked.

Li Zhixiao replied, "I'd like to report back to you. One of the people who went there today had a good relationship with the lower officials. Today, he and a group of officials went to Chen Wenduan's residence to discuss the matter, and then came to drink with me. When he was drinking, he revealed it by accident."

"So it is, Mr. Li, you are my confidant. To tell you the truth, I also received a message from my subordinates that Chen Wenduan came back from Huaixi, saying that he found something bad for me, but I'm not afraid of shadow evil. Even if he goes to the holy place to play, I'm not afraid of shadow evil." Shi Miyuan said.

Li Zhi filial piety: "the prime minister is deeply favored by the emperor, and he has a large number of courtiers' support in the court. He is not afraid of Chen Wenduan, but think about it. The Huaixi military case in that year, as you know, almost led to the destruction of the Song Dynasty. This time, Chen Wenduan went to the military camp in Huaixi, in case he took this as an example By that time, even if you are the prime minister's favorite minister, I'm afraid that the emperor will not be on your side. "After listening to Li Zhixiao, Shi Miyuan thought for a while and said, "Mr. Li, I really don't think so deeply. After you say that, I think it's really a bit serious."

Said here, Shi Miyuan asked Li Zhi filial piety: "in your opinion, how should I deal with this matter?"

Li Zhixiao replied: "prime minister, the emperor is not a muddleheaded person today. According to your humble position, you can start this matter first. You can play a book on it tomorrow morning. That is to say, you have received the news that Chen Wenduan privately accepted bribes from officials below during his inspection in Huaixi."

"But if we accuse a senior official without evidence, the emperor will believe it. Besides, Chen Wenduan will refute it." Shi Miyuan said.

Li Zhixiao replied: "the prime minister is very worried. In fact, what the lower official wants is Chen Wenduan to refute you in the court, or even play you a book."

"Why is that?" Shi Miyuan asked.

Li Zhixiao replied with a smile: "prime minister, if you think about it, the argument between you and Chen Wenduan may become a dispute between different factions in the imperial court before the emperor. If that happens, even if you can find out what's wrong with the prime minister, the emperor won't do anything to you in order to weigh the various forces in the imperial court."

After hearing Li Zhixiao's words, Shi Miyuan patted the table and said, "Mr. Li, I didn't expect you to see things in officialdom so thoroughly. I really admire you. Your idea is good. I will do it tomorrow morning."

Li Zhixiao said: "the prime minister has been praised too much. These are all humble duties."

So they talked about the details for a while, and Li Zhixiao got up and left.
