The façade is not very big, and when Li Hong took Yan Lingbin in, he didn't even look at the signboard, but at the door, there were no less than twenty or thirty carriages of all kinds parked at this time.

Even from the style of these carriages, it can be glimpsed that the general identity of the owners of each carriage, and the horses that wait quietly for their masters, or the horses that snort and kick the bluestone slabs under their feet, are all good horses that are difficult to buy.

Even the price of this horse is enough to take two to three medium-to-high slaves from this tooth shop, and the price of slaves and maids in the two cities of this thing is not very cheap, plus the imperial court extracts a certain amount of taxes from it, so the trade of this tooth shop can be said to be very prosperous.

"Isn't this Li Ye's carriage?" Li Hong stood side by side with Yan Lingbin at the door, looked at a familiar carriage and said.

Yan Lingbin is tall and slender, her cheeks are pink and red, coupled with her heroic and extraordinary temperament, as well as her somewhat weak and emaciated figure, so that people who go in and out of her teeth can't help but show admiration and hot eyes when they see her.

It's just that when they saw Yan Lingbin's flat chest, some people showed a look of great disappointment, or even loss, but even so, at the door in and out, there are still people who are willing to take a few more glances at Yan Lingbin's amazing face.

"What are you doing here?" Yan Lingbin grabbed Li Hong's sleeve and asked, and then instantly realized that he was now a woman dressed as a man, but he couldn't be so presumptuous in public, so he hurriedly loosened Li Hong's sleeve, pretending to raise his head and ask freely.

"I don't know, but I guess nine times out of ten it has something to do with the case he's going to work on now." Li Hong watched Li Ye's carriage parked in front of him, obviously a lot earlier than him, who was a father: "Don't pay attention to him, we will do our business and don't disturb him to do his business." ”

Wang Xiaojie originally planned to go first to find out where Li Ye was, but after hearing Li Hong's words, he stopped and walked inside behind Li Hong and Yan Lingbin.

"Pick a good spot." Li Hong put his hands behind his back, looking at the empty display table in front of him, and behind the railings around him, the table and chair area was already overcrowded, and although the whole hall was not quiet, it was not noisy and noisy.

After all, the people who come here are quite status, and they will not open their throats to ask for the tea and other food they need like ordinary people.

The seats on the second floor are obviously the best, and the large open rooms have both privacy and the ability to sit in them and peek into all corners of the room, so naturally, the price of the private rooms will not be cheap.

The arrival of Li Hong and the three of them obviously did not attract the attention of others, only occasionally someone on both sides would pay attention to Yan Lingbin, but they were all shocked, with a hint of loneliness and then turned their eyes.

The guy is not like the shopkeeper in the restaurant, nodding when he sees the customer, but trying to be polite and elegant.

Wang Xiaojie pointed to the room above and said, "Find a room with the best line of sight." ”

"Sir, please, but this room is expensive, the villain will remind you first." The guy smiled and said humbly.

"Take it." It was Yan Lingbin who spoke, took out a silver ticket with a quota of one hundred taels from his sleeve pocket, and handed it to the guy through Wang Xiaojie's hand.

Wang Xiaojie was stunned for a moment, and then looked at the hundred taels of silver tickets, so he secretly quickly took back his broken silver, took the silver ticket and handed it to the buddy.

"Three nobles, please." The man didn't thank him, but after taking the silver ticket and looking at it, he stretched out his hand and asked the three of them to go upstairs from the back stairs.

Li Ye and his two eunuchs on the second floor happened to see Li Hong and Yan Lingbin walking through the middle corridor and walking towards the staircase.

"Father is here." Li Ye's little face had a hint of seriousness and seriousness, he had been drinking boiled water, and there was no dim sum on the table in front of him, which was quite shabby compared to the richness on the table in the room on the left and right.

"Do you want Your Highness to come over?" The eunuch behind him asked in a low voice.

Li Ye looked at the corridor where Li Hong and the figures had disappeared, thought for a moment and said, "Wait a while, have you found the squire of the criminal department?" Will he not come today? ”

"He should come, yesterday's court meeting, and he will definitely appear today. This is the news given by Miss Bai, and there will be absolutely no mistakes. The eunuch sat on Li Ye's side, his eyes always paying attention to the outside, and once His Majesty appeared, the three of them could immediately come out to salute, without looking a little hasty or in a hurry at that time.

"Well, my aunt said she would come, so she would definitely come." Li Ye nodded, and then began to look through the list that had been prepared a long time ago, and dozens of names were densely written on it, which was the information of all the slaves and maids traded in the tooth shop today.

"Your Highness, Xiao Zhizhong, the servant of the Ministry of Officials, has arrived." According to the eunuch who was closer to the door, he kept looking downstairs, and when he saw a middle-aged man about fifty years old walking in, he immediately turned his head and said to Li Ye, who was looking at the list inside.

"You go down and ask him to come up, by the way, you don't have to tell him that his father is here." When Li Ye left Li Hong's side to deal with things alone, he also looked quite stable and decisive, and his handsome face always looked more serious.

There is also no impermeable wall above the court, and Li Hong told Chen Jingzhi that he intended to plan an errand for Li Ye in the three departments of the Ministry of Officials, the Ministry of War, and the Ministry of Households, and it has begun to spread quietly among the ministers.

Therefore, although Li Ye, Langzhong, has not yet taken office, but after yesterday's court meeting, the chapter for Chen Jingzhi has been transferred from Zhongshu and Menxia to the Ministry of Shangshu Province.

The next thing is to wait for the next court meeting, after Li Hong and Zhu pen are approved, Li Ye can take office.

Although he is his boss, Li Ye is the prince again, so he personally greets his boss or colleagues, Xiao Zhizhong can't afford it, and the eunuchs around him will greet him, which can be said to be in the past.

"Li Ye has seen Master Xiao." After Li Ye came in, he immediately got up and saluted, Corporal Lixian's style was much more comfortable and smooth than that of his father back then.

Unlike his father, the courtiers who were full of courtiers back then had to be worried when they saw Li Hong, who knows when His Royal Highness the Crown Prince will dig a hole for himself, and whether he will suddenly find trouble for himself.

In the early years, when the crown prince Li Hong was in charge of the country, they were all important ministers in the court and pillars of the country.

Although it is said that the batches of old ministers were fed up with splints between the prince and the emperor, but now looking back, it is also because of the flexibility of that generation of old ministers, or it is under the strong persecution of His Majesty today, he followed His Majesty to create the great cause and peaceful prosperity of the Tang Dynasty today.

"Chen Xiao Zhizhong has seen His Royal Highness Ye." Xiao Zhizhong hurriedly saluted, now it has been really awkward these days, and the relationship between the two is quite awkward.

is not a gentleman or a minister, and there is no relationship between superiors and subordinates, so it seems somewhat awkward to salute and speak.

However, there was no cumbersome politeness between the two, and then they went straight to the point, and when the two of them sat down, Li Ye handed Xiao Zhizhong the list he had just read.

And Xiao Zhizhong also took out a roster from his arms and handed it to Li Ye: "Your Highness, this is the information of those officials, nobles and wealthy families who have been dismissed and dismissed in recent years, and it was five years ago at the earliest, so it must be enough to deal with today." ”

"There is Lord Lao Xiao, this is the first errand that my father gave to Li Ye, and I am afraid that it will be messed up, so I have to bother Lord Xiao." Li Ye took over the roster very naturally.

In fact, this is also his helpless move, originally this list of officials, wealthy families, and prominent families who have been recalled, exiled, and assigned over the years, and the Criminal Department also has it, but Cui Xin will shirk all kinds of things every time Li Ye wants to get up, or refuse on the grounds that Li Ye's name is not right.

So in desperation, Li Ye had no choice but to find a way by himself, and with his Aunt Bai assisting him, things would naturally be twice the result with half the effort.

"It's okay for Lord Xiao to speak directly." Li Ye hadn't looked through the roster yet, but he saw Xiao Zhizhong's face with a sad face, Li Ye, who knew how to observe words and expressions at a young age, first pressed the curiosity about the roster in his heart, and asked with a smile.

"You don't need to look at this list, many of the names on it are very familiar to the ministers, although some have not had time to choose a name, but the names of Wang, Lu, and Cui, don't Your Highness think that they are all related to the five surnames and seven wangs?" Xiao Zhizhong smiled bitterly and shook his head, and then returned the list in his hand to Li Ye, who stretched out.

In the room on the other side, Li Hong sat in the middle, Yan Lingbin served on one side, and Wang Xiaojie sat a little farther away.

After all, Yan Lingbin has been in Huafang, so she naturally has a different set of methods for how to send away her guys, and this method has become more and more tyrant after getting close to Li Hong over the years, that is, seeing this kind of guy who looks down on people with dogs' eyes, don't talk nonsense, just take the money and smash it.

Li Hong casually flipped through the list on the desk, this list has a copy in every room, and in the same way, even if he is sitting at the three tables downstairs, he can have a copy for each person, but then he has to spend money to buy it.

After watching the guy leave, Li Hongcai said in a good time: "Wang Xiaojie, your criminal department is very derelict now, you have been working in the military department for so many years, don't you want to do it now?" ”

"Your Majesty, the minister doesn't know ......."

"Take a look at this list for yourself, the matter of the five surnames and seven wangs has just passed, Di Renjie, you, and Zhang Khan Zhi, who replaced Dr. Li Qiao's imperial historian, have you done the aftermath of this matter? Look, less than half a year has passed since this special incident, and those family members with five surnames and seven wangs, etc., have already fallen into the hands of Yaxing! You are a supervisor slave of the Criminal Department, you can't supervise it like this! In the end, Li Hong disregarded his identity and the occasion, and threw the list in his hand on Wang Xiaojie's body.

Yan Lingbin on the side had never seen Li Hong who was angry, and when she heard the anger in Li Hong's tone, her little heart was already trembling, and when she saw Li Hong raise his hand and slam the list on Wang Xiaojie, Yan Lingbin was so frightened that he almost screamed.
