Chapter 837 Give capable people a chance

Yang said, "Is this person an official? He can also repair cars, which is better than a coachman!" She has seen people who flatter, but it is the first time that people who can flatter so well.

In the early Tang Dynasty, scholars were very particular about family background. Once they became officials, even if they were small, they would not be willing to get stuck in mud, thinking that it would be a disgrace to be a gentleman. It doesn’t matter if the carriage broke, and even if they could practice it themselves, they wouldn’t really practice it. They should have the aura of becoming an official, wait with their hands behind their backs, watch others practice, and then speak out to give advice, so that they can be an official.

As soon as someone like Li Yifu arrived, he would go to repair the wheels without waiting for a call, making the officers covered in mud. It was really rare!

Wang Ping'an smiled and said, "Brother Li, I'm really embarrassed. How can you let you repair the wheels by yourself? It's all right if you have a coachman to repair them!"

The coachman standing next to him was very unhappy and secretly scolded the little official in green robe, which was too unreasonable. The car had been repaired, but the man rushed over and touched the wheels randomly, his hands were covered in mud, and then pretended that he had repaired it himself. It was too much. It would be enough to steal other people's credit. Even the coachman's credit, do you have some self-esteem?

Li Yifu hurriedly said, "You are polite. The villain was poor when he was a teenager. He often helped his neighbors with some chores while studying. He often did things like repairing cars. Whenever the car was repaired, the neighbors could often give him a cake to fill his hunger, so the villain was very willing to do such things!"

He also said that he was pitiful and that his childhood seemed to be hungry. Li Yifu was indeed a young man who was poor, but he was also a minor official. He was only in the era of chaos in the former Sui Dynasty, so he was relatively poor, but he was still richer than ordinary people. Otherwise, his family would not have money to support him in his studies. In the Sui and Tang Dynasties, books were also one of the luxury goods!

Yang said twice, "It's still a poor family's children who have been in charge of their family!" She praised Li Yi's mansion, and Wang Youcai also nodded beside him, and ummph.

Li Yifu was full of joy and waited for the old lady to ask her name. But Yang only praised him, then turned to hug Xiao Taiping, got on the carriage with Wang Youcai, and ignored him again.

Wang Ping'an smiled and said, "This brother Li is named Li Yi Mansion, and he is an official from the Ministry of Education. By the way, what position do you hold now, Brother Li?"

Li Yifu had a little opinion about Yang. The old lady was arrogant and obviously didn't take him seriously! Hearing Wang Ping'an's inquiry, Li Yifu hurriedly said: "The villain is currently Dianyi, who is responsible for the transmission and reception of official documents."

Wang Ping'an said, "It is very important to receive official documents. Brother Li is a heavy responsibility!" He turned over and protected the convoy and entered the city together.

Li Yifu reached out to the servants of the Wang family and wanted a hand towel to wipe their hands. But the servants of the Wang family were still angry. The little official was embarrassed to ask for a hand towel. It was obvious that he ran over and reached his hand on the wheel and touched it all in a mess. Now he was still embarrassed to ask for a hand towel, but why was his skin so thick! No one paid attention to him at all.

Li Yifu had no choice but to wipe his dirty hands on his robe, turn over and follow the car and enter the city together.

After nothing happened, he came to the Duke's Mansion. Wang Ping'an accompanied his parents into the yard, fed bath water and prepared wine and meals again, and became busy. Seeing this, Li Yifu took the initiative to step forward and said, "Prince, is there any place for villains to help? The villains are here to help!"

Seeing that he was so active, Wang Ping'an said, "Then please help me unload my luggage. You don't have to do it. Just command the servants. I'm in trouble!"

Li Yifu agreed and quickly went to direct the unloading of his luggage.

When Di Renjie saw this, he shook his head and went to the back house with Wang Ping'an, and said, "Brother, Dianyi, who is surnamed Li, has a low official position, but he is still an official in the court. It seems a bit inappropriate to treat him as the head of the servant!"

Wang Pingan took his hand and said, "If we don't give them this opportunity, we will complain on the contrary! By the way, you just entered Beijing and don't know anything about the affairs of the court and the palace. A big case happened to be in the palace these days, and I will tell you later."

When Di Renjie heard that there was a case, he immediately became interested. He liked to solve cases the most. When he was the county magistrate in Heshui County, he solved several cases. Unfortunately, they were all small cases and were not satisfied with solving them. Now, when he heard that there was a major case in the palace, he naturally became interested. He said, "Brother, what major case has occurred in the palace?"

Wang Ping'an said: "Guess what big case can be found in the palace? I'll test you."

The two of them said as they entered the back house. At this time, the Wang couple went to take a shower and change their clothes. Xiao Taiping was held by the wet nurse. Wang Ping'an took the child from the wet nurse's arms and looked at Di Renjie while patting.

Di Renjie thought for a while before saying, "The palace is nothing more than concubines and eunuchs and maids. If something happens to the eunuchs and maids and they don't know how to work the elder brother to do it, then they can only be concubines. And ordinary concubines have their own chief supervisor to deal with it, and they don't know how to work the elder brother. So this case is either related to the queen or the concubine with a prince, and the emperor has just established the crown prince. Brothers guess, it's either the queen or... who is it? Is it Xiao Shufei?"

Wang Ping'an yelled and admired him very much. Di Renjie is Di Renjie. Otherwise, why would he be a famous person for all ages? He is known as a detective. Once everything is reasoned by him, he actually got the correct answer.

Wang Ping'an said: "Yes, but it's not that Xiao Shufei's incident. She was assassinated and was strangled to death. Guess who killed her?" He slowly blew at Xiao Taiping in his arms, but Xiao Taiping whimpered a few times, his little face wrinkled, and there was a sign of crying.

Wang Ping'an hurriedly said, "What's wrong? Why does this child cry?"

The wet nurse came over quickly and said, "I think I'm going to change my diapers. The prime minister should hand over the lady to me!"

When Wang Ping'an heard that he wanted to change his diapers, he handed over Xiao Taiping to the wet nurse. This kind of thing was done by professionals, which was more suitable than him. Xiao Taiping was taken away, so he sat down.

Di Renjie walked around the room a few times, looked at Wang Ping'an, and said with great certainty: "It must not be the queen, and it has nothing to do with the queen."

Wang Ping'an slapped his hands twice and said, "Okay, guess it right. But how can I see it?"

Di Renjie spread his hands and said, "It's very simple. The queen's son has been made the crown prince. She was so proud that even if she wanted to continue fighting with Concubine Xiao, she would not make a killer. Let's take a step back, even if she wanted to kill Concubine Xiao, she would only use serious reasons, and the emperor ordered her to kill him, or if Concubine Xiao was admitted to the cold palace, she would not have to send someone to strangle Concubine Xiao to death. If it was really someone she sent, wouldn't it be too... too..." The last two words were not easy to say.

Wang Ping'an made up for him in his heart, it was too stupid!

Di Renjie suddenly had a strange expression on his face and said, "But Concubine Xiao Shu was strangled to death, and the emperor appointed his elder brother to try the case. This shows that the emperor wanted to solve the case and seek justice for Concubine Xiao Shu. But why didn't the chief supervisor in the palace be responsible for this matter, but sent the elder brother?"

When Wang Ping'an saw his strange expression, he shook his head and said, "The matter here is quite complicated. If you don't know the details, of course it is impossible to infer. However, if you want to talk about how to close the case, what do you think?"

Di Renjie frowned and then circled around the room, but this time he turned dozens of circles in one breath, which made Wang Ping'an dizzy, and Di Renjie didn't turn out to be Chou Yinmao.

Wang Ping'an sighed and said, "Brother can't infer, it's normal. I feel a lot when I see you, but at least it means that you are still a normal person. You are definitely not a reincarnation of a fairy, and you can know the past and future of the old fairy."

Di Renjie stopped and stopped turning around. He said, "Brothers are not old fairies, but there are many old fairies in the morning. Seeing the eldest brother's appearance of not being anxious or panic, he must have been confident and knows how to close the case!"

"What else can it do? Of course, it's just that big things are turned into small things. This is the case in the palace. No matter how big the matter is, it must be suppressed. Otherwise, if you go around and around the emperor, it will be a big trouble. It's not nice to say!" Wang Ping'an said.

Di Renjie also nodded and deeply agreed. Although he believed that the word fairness should be used as the criterion for any case, the matter in the palace was no more than anything else... Of course, if he had done this case, it would have been fair, but if the elder brother had done this case, it would be impossible to say it. For him, the first principle is fairness, and for the elder brother, the first principle is to protect the emperor.

The death of Concubine Xiao Shu would eventually go around, and it would definitely be that the emperor was incompetent, and even the palace was uneasy, and even the concubines could not manage it well. This kind of thing was passed on to the people and spread in private. It would be sure that in many years, unofficial history would be flying everywhere and written vividly. Even what the emperor said at that time could be compiled in a complete way... This is not possible, it is absolutely impossible!

Di Renjie said: "If you want to make this matter smaller and finally close the case without any trouble, I am afraid that the palace will have to find someone who is irrelevant to be the murderer, and the people who handle the case in the court must...Brother, have you found a scapegoat?"

Wang Ping'an nodded and said, "Of course I don't have to worry about the matter in the palace. As for the person who handled the case, I happened to find one today."

While speaking, Li Yifu ran into the yard. He stood outside the house without coming in. He nodded and said, "Prince, you have finished unloading your luggage. What else do you have to do? The villain will do it now!"

Wang Ping'an stood up and said appreciatively: "It's been done so quickly. I thought it would take half a day to do it! Oh, Brother Li, you are very capable of doing things, you are definitely a clerk!"

Di Renjie turned his head over, glanced at Li Yi's mansion, and thought to himself: "Okay, that's him!"

Li Yi's mansion was praised and was ecstatic. He was old and he was almost thinking about getting promoted. Now that he had such a good opportunity, he was not willing to let it go. Just as he was thinking about taking the initiative to ask for something, he heard Wang Ping'an speak again.

Wang Ping'an said: "Brother Li, if you have something to do at home today, I am afraid I can't keep you for food. Why not do this? After the morning court tomorrow, you will wait in the yamen. If you have something to do, you will ask you to do it. Are you willing to fight me again?"

Li Yi's mansion hurriedly said, "The villain is willing, the villain is willing." He bowed his hand and said he left the mansion, and left happily.

Di Renjie looked at the back of Li Yifu until he left the yard and said, "Brother, he can do anything like this. He shamelessly cursed you today, but as long as he turns around, he can sell you. If he wants him to be a scapegoat, he must be a death sentence, otherwise he will have to tell the case one day."

Wang Ping'an nodded and said, "I can't afford to do this person even if he wants his own face, so he will naturally not give others face. It's not surprising that there are so many such people."

After talking for a while, Wang Youcai and Yang packed up and told each other about their separation. They talked about the matters of this period one by one, no matter how big or small the matters were. The most common ones were about Xiao Taiping. The little girl had many interesting stories, which made the whole family laugh.

No major incidents that day. The next morning, Wang Ping'an got up early and invited An to his parents. He took Di Renjie out with him. Di Renjie went to Dali Temple to report, while Wang Ping'an entered the palace.

Li Zhi seemed to be really stimulated and did not go to court. The ministers dispersed and returned to their respective yamen. Wang Ping'an went to Dongtai. Before he could enter the door, he saw Li Yifu standing at the door, stretching his neck to wait for him.

When he saw Wang Ping'an coming, Li Yi's mansion rushed forward to pay his respects. Wang Ping'an simply stopped entering the yamen and said, "Brother Li, you must have known that something big happened in the palace recently. Do you know about Concubine Xiao Shu?"

Li Yifu didn't know about such a big thing. He was shocked and immediately became scared. He was really anxious and regretful, so regretful that he almost hit the wall with his head!

The case in the palace must be suppressed. Everyone knows what to do, and he is not ignorant! But if Wang Ping'an can't do such a thing well, he will have to find a scapegoat and push the blame out. Isn't this obvious thing?

Li Yifu was very thick-skinned. When he was anxious, he knelt down for Wang Ping'an and said with a sad face: "Prince, there are old people in the upper house and young people in the lower house..."

Before he could finish his words, Wang Ping'an grabbed his wrist, held it tightly, but his face was full of smiles, and said, "It's just a fight. Don't be afraid of anything you really do. In front of us, don't tell lies. You are a poor little official, and you haven't even achieved the eighth grade. If you want to rise normally in this life, you are afraid that it's impossible to even the sixth grade. Are you right?"

Li Yifu nodded in difficulty. Of course he knew this, otherwise he could curry favor with the prime minister in front of him!

Wang Ping'an whispered: "Wealth and honor are in danger. Are you willing to live a life of cowardice? Or do you have to fight for it? If you can do this for me, I guarantee that you will be promoted to the fifth rank within a month, and then immediately send it out and give you a small state to be the governor. What about?"

Li Yifu murmured: "We are in danger of wealth and honor, but..."

Wang Ping'an helped him up and said, "No, but as long as you do your business well, I will treat you as a confidant from now on. Also, it has been decided how to settle this case, but there are some small things that you need to bear. I will take dozens of numbers, think about it carefully, one, two, three..."
