While they were talking, Nangong Zui slowly walked out from the rear hall. Qi Yunshan looked at that cunning look of his. Nangong Zui indeed had some skills, but if it wasn't for the protection from the ancestor, how could he have managed to obtain this golden medal and sit peacefully in the position of the Patriarch of the Four-direction Sect for so many years? Therefore, Qi Yunshan looked down on Nangong Zui's unrestrained and unrestrained personality, as well as his drunkenness.

In Qi Yunshan's eyes, Nangong Zui was no different from a cripple.

Nangong Zui unhurriedly bowed towards Qi Yunshan, and then cupped his fists towards Ke Bozhao, "Please do not take our Four-direction Sect to heart, two lords. We are a servant of the government, we are paid by the government, so we have to take matters into our own hands. If anything is amiss, the two of you can only forgive us. After all, we can't help ourselves! With the emperor's imperial edict pressing on us, there's nothing we can do! "

As he finished speaking, Nangong Zui pulled the wine gourd around his waist and drank two mouthfuls of wine.

"Nangong Zui, does your hall belong to you? He had a good mouth and was very businesslike, but what kind of rule was it to drink in a royal hall? Nangong Zui, you are committing a dereliction of duty! " Qi Yunshan retorted coldly, "If this official were to play a song in front of the emperor …"

"Yo, yo, yo. You're still enjoying yourself?" Nangong Zui coughed lightly, "Imperial Tutor is old and has bad eyes. This official cannot blame you, after all, there will be a day when one enters the coffin. But ah! Prime Minister's eyes must be bright enough to see clearly that I, Nangong Zui, didn't take it for granted today. Isn't this … " He pointed at Wen Yuye, "Today, Master Wen was the one questioning the case, and we are just here to listen. Who ordered us to not drink?"

"Tutor, Nangong Zui's body is injured, and he went on leave, all of the civil and military are aware of this matter." Ke Bozhao lowered his voice and said to Qi Yunshan, "There's no point in continuing to cause trouble today, why not …"

"Humph!" Qi Yunshan's face darkened, he turned to look at Nangong Zui and Wen Yuye, "What should be said has already been said, this new top scorer's case has nothing to do with this old man, if you do not believe me, you can investigate, but if you dare suspect this old man of killing people, then this old man will kill a few of you to ease his heart." With that, Qi Yunshan left with a brush of his sleeves.

Being able to pass through the hall was already giving a lot of face, so it was not strange for Qi Yunshan to turn around and leave.

Watching Qi Yunshan and Ke Bozhao leave, Nangong Zui gave a meaningful glance to Xun Feng, who immediately led everyone out. The originally noisy hall instantly quieted down.

"Thank you, Master Nangong!" Wen Yuye bowed with his hands folded in front.

"Why are you thanking me?" Nangong Zui sat down and drank two mouthfuls of wine with the wine gourd, feeling refreshed, "Looking at the old thing's face just now, I feel even more satisfied than you. Aren't you the one Ke Bozhao was looking for? Are you not afraid that Ke Bozhao will kill you?! "

"Today, I know that it was I, Wen Yuye who asked about this case. If I die tomorrow, then it would be even harder for him to explain himself. Before, there was the case of the freshmen, and later on there was the assassination attempt by the emperor. Regarding my matter, even the supporters of Qi Family would probably be a little flustered. With such a series of events, Regent's Mansion will definitely not sit idly by the side and watch. " Wen Yuye sat down indifferently, as if he was really not anxious at all.

Nangong Zui frowned, but a meaningful smile hung on his face: "Aren't you afraid of death?"

"How can I not be afraid of death? It is because they are afraid of death that they are staying in the hall here. " Wen Yuye's eyes darkened, "How can there be perfection in this world? If we do not take the risk, I'm afraid we will die even faster! Taifu Mansion, Prime Minister's Estate, none of them are easy to mess with. I, a lowly official of the ninth rank, am only as big as a sesame bean. If he won, then he would have a slim chance of survival. If he lost … I, Wen Yuye, am alone in this world and I can afford to lose! "

"It's been a long time since I've seen a tough official like you!" Nangong Zui scoffed, "Although your ninth rank is not considered official! But Wen Yuye, I hope you won't regret it. "

"It's too late to regret it." Wen Yuye stood with his hands behind his back, squinted his dangerous eyes, and looked at the sky, "Your Four-direction Sect troubles are not small, and the case of the new top scorer is one thing, but with the emperor being assassinated on the long street, if the upper management does investigate it, the Four-direction Sect will also be implicated."

Nangong Zui got up, "I won't trouble Master Wen with this, the sky cannot fall from the Four-direction Sect." He looked at Wen Yuye meaningfully and laughed, "Finish this case as soon as possible and use this contribution to save your life. Just as you said, it might be able to save your life! "

Wen Yuye did not speak. The two men looked at each other, each planning their own course of action. After a long while, Wen Yuye laughed, "This time, Master Nangong does not care, and handed the matter over to me, I wonder if there is a deeper meaning behind it? "He came back in such a hurry. It must be …"

"I'm afraid that the Buddha of Qi Family will tear down my temple!" Nangong Zui sighed, "These two are not easy to deal with. You have controlled the power play technique of the imperial court for many years, you better watch out. Don't be unable to hit the tiger when the time comes, and be eaten to the point where not even bones are left. "Finally, I want to remind you that this is not Wenchang County, it is not a place where you can make decisions as you wish!"

Wen Yuye cupped his fists and said: "Please, can I trouble Master Nangong to help me with something?"

Nangong Zui looked at him thoughtfully, and felt that the wine in his mouth had become tasty. The capital city was a land of wolves and tigers. They had cheated for too long and had always won more than they lose. Wasn't it very interesting for someone to break the set rules of the game? Nangong Zui loved to watch the excitement!

When Qi Yunshan came out from the Four-direction Sect, his face was extremely dark and gloomy. After returning to the Taifu Mansion, he directly entered the study. Ke Bozhao followed behind Qi Yunshan, and did not dare to say much along the way.

The door to the study quickly closed, but before Ke Bozhao could speak, he heard Qi Yunshan say coldly, "You picked a good person!"

Ke Bozhao bowed and replied unhurriedly: "This student's eyes are blind, I was unable to discern the loyalty of the traitors, I plead for your forgiveness, Master!"

"Did you clearly hear what Wen Yuye said in the hall?" Qi Yunshan asked.

Ke Bozhao nodded, "I heard you clearly!"

"You can't leave the upright!" Qi Yunshan's voice was cold, "Do you understand now?"

Ke Bozhao slowly raised his eyebrows, "Master, you mean you want me to kill Wen Yuye?"

"This Wen Yuye is just a level 9 county official from the countryside. So what if he died in the capital? "An unknown person, if he dies, then so be it. No one will investigate him, and the little emperor will not even dare to investigate!" Qi Yunshan snorted, his voice filled with killing intent: "Although this person cannot be considered a good person, but he is actually a barbarian. When I looked into his eyes, I felt uncomfortable all over. If we do not get rid of this person, in the future, if we were to be used by the Regent's Mansion, it will inevitably cause trouble! "

Speaking till here, Qi Yunshan made up his mind, "Wen Yuye might not become an expert, but he will definitely harm us. The current situation is disadvantageous for us, many things have already been framed onto Taifu Mansion, and we cannot afford to miss a single thing. Bozhao, I know that you are soft-hearted, but this is not the time for you to be soft-hearted. Master has already lost Rufeng, I cannot lose even you. Do you understand Master's hopes? "

Ke Bozhao bowed, "Student understands! It was just a master, if Wen Yuye died, the emperor would not blame him, but it was hard to guarantee that his Regent's Mansion would not cause a ruckus. Master, there are too many things to do right now. Rufeng's death can't completely suppress his matter, after all, the people outside the palace back then were all at the Regent's Mansion. Him not killing off the Taifu Mansion was already our luck! "

Qi Yunshan did not say anything, and pondered for a moment before replying, "In your opinion, what should we do?"

"Mentor, killing is just a small matter, do you have any way to do that?" Why do you need to dirty our hands? " Ke Bozhao straightened his body, "Master also said that even if Wen Yuye dies, the little emperor would not dare to pursue the matter. Wouldn't it be fine if he used the little emperor's hand to kill someone? This case, as long as Wen Yuye is unable to investigate and find out, it will be deemed as disobeying the royal decree, and he will be punished according to the crime! "

"That's right!" Qi Yunshan heaved a sigh of relief, "Since that's the case, then it's extremely good!"

"So, there's no need for us to do it. The county magistrate was of the ninth rank and had no one to rely on in the entire capital. He didn't know anyone, so what could he do? That was why the students had allowed him and Nangong Zui to work together to deal with this matter. This new top scorer case has nothing to do with us, but if we continue to pursue it, there will inevitably be some connections between us. The best way is to let this case fade away from everyone's eyes! "If we drag it out, it will become an unsolved case!" Ke Bozhao smiled, "No matter what happens, people will eventually forget about it, and then it will be over!"

Qi Yunshan nodded his head, "You chose Wen Yuye so that he could take on this case and take the blame?"

"This case, Four-direction Sect has received. That Nangong Zui is a tough nut to crack, we should at least give him some trouble in order to make him anxious!" Ke Bozhao sighed, "I have no choice, but to cure Wen Yuye and get him out, this small place won't understand the rules, so there will be even more mistakes. Even if Nangong Zui wanted to investigate it thoroughly, it was likely that he did not have the strength to do so! Anyway, there are a lot of suspense cases regarding Ministry of Justice and this sect, so it's not as bad. "

"We can't continue investigating this case!" The color in Qi Yunshan's eyes darkened, "Otherwise …"

"Master, what's wrong?" This has nothing to do with us, we're just afraid of being implicated, don't worry! " Ke Bozhao laughed.

Qi Yunshan's expression became serious, "I was just worried!"

But these words didn't sound like worry?

After a while, Ke Bozhao left the Taifu Mansion.

Qi Yunshan looked in the direction Ke Bozhao left in and his eyebrows slightly furrowed. His wrinkled face was filled with indescribable emotions, as if he was thinking about something.

The protector stepped forward and bowed, "Prime Minister has left!"

"Shougui, what intentions do you have for Ke Bozhao? Why can't I understand him any more? " Qi Yunshan squinted his eyes, "As for this person, once he tastes the sweetness, he will not be able to stop!"

The guard laughed, "This servant does not know what Prime Minister is thinking, this servant only knows that outsiders know, that Prime Minister is the disciple of Imperial Tutor, so no matter what happens, we are tied together!"

Qi Yunshan laughed, "You …. That makes sense! " He paused, "That way... You know I'm back? "

Upon hearing this, the expression on his face turned slightly sluggish as he revealed a troubled expression, "I think I know."

"Ai!" Qi Yunshan lowered her eyebrows, "You're still blaming me!" With that, Qi Yunshan turned and returned to his room, his expression exceptionally solemn. "This is what I should blame, this is what I should blame …"
