On the slightly yellowed bamboo paper, the four large characters are elegant and graceful, and the stipples are beautiful.

Li Longji casually put down his imperial brush, admired his calligraphy, and said with a smile: "General Gao, what do you think of my calligraphy?"

Gao Lishi sincerely said with emotion: "The saint is truly an all-rounder. He is a master of statecraft, civil and martial arts, chess, calligraphy and painting. He is perfect in everything. I only hope that future generations will be able to see his grace and admire him forever."

Even with this level of praise, Li Longji felt it was normal and felt more satisfied with himself.

"I have managed such a magnificent and prosperous era. Although it has never happened since ancient times, it is only the work of a generation of kings. And my achievements are not only this. I destroyed Tubo and Khitan, made the Tang Dynasty vast and boundless, and this..."

Li Longji said, lightly tapping the calligraphy on the imperial desk with his finger.

"The article is an eternal story. The dazzling and prosperous culture of the Tang Dynasty will benefit future generations. My achievements will last forever and will not be covered up by the time of heaven and earth!"

He almost blurted out, but humbly did not say a word about his inner evaluation of himself——

"I am the mortal god!"

Gao Lishi was startled and quickly knelt down to show his respect. He said loudly: "The merits of the saint will last forever! He can compete with the glory of heaven and earth!"

The people in the palace also prostrated themselves and praised him.

"Ha ha ha ha……"

Li Longji was in a good mood. This was not a matter of saving a little money, but a new level of achievement for the emperor.

It's not just a piece of bamboo paper that can make him feel like this. He has already become a sage. The bamboo paper is the icing on the cake. It is the auspiciousness that will naturally appear in the splendid and prosperous era governed by the wise king through the ages. It is his achievement.

As for Xue Bai, who made paper, he also took part of the credit. Of course, it is a great achievement in the world.

"General Gao, get up. We still need to find out whether the cost is really low."

"Old slave obeys the order."

Gao Lishi knew that Xue Bai would not lie about this kind of thing, so he stood up and said with a smile: "In this way, this matter is really a great achievement."

"Otherwise the general thinks that Brother Nu is spending so much time just to steal Xue Bai's money?"

"I see."

Gao Lishi suddenly realized.

With Li Linfu's family business, Xue Bai would not be involved in a major case just for the benefit of bamboo paper craftsmanship. It only makes sense that the purpose is to achieve great achievements that can affect future generations, and it is indeed a narrow-minded man.

What can be done.

He was greedy for merit, worried that Xue Bai would make meritorious deeds, and even more afraid that Yang Hao, who was behind Xue Bai, would use this to covet his position.

"Right Prime Minister, please take a look."

A stack of bamboo paper was handed to Li Linfu. He was stunned and reached out to take it.

The paper is yellowish, a little rough when rubbed, and not smooth enough, but it is not as brittle as the original bamboo paper. After smelling it, there is indeed a hint of bamboo fragrance.

Li Linfu was knowledgeable and was surprised that the hard texture of bamboo could become so tough.

He thought to himself that if he had known about this earlier, he would have dealt with Xue Bai harshly and got rid of Yang Zhi as well. After all, Xue Bai's property was in the name of the Yang family. This incident together posed a threat to the phase.

too big.

But, he really doesn't know.

Before he could recover from the shock, Li Longji came closer and asked with a smile: "Juro, what do you think?"

"Your Majesty." Li Linfu was caught off guard and said hurriedly: "This is the first time I have seen bamboo paper today. I have never heard of it before!"

“That’s unheard of!”

Xue Bai's counterattack had just begun, and he immediately said: "You encouraged Yuan Zhen to come to my papermaking mill to cause trouble, and forced me to sell the papermaking mill to him. Is it because you have too many sons-in-law, and you have never heard of Yuanzhen?"

"Sharp teeth and sharp mouth."

Li Linfu only replied to Xue Bai, and quickly turned towards the saint, saying solemnly: "Your Majesty, everything I said is true. As Prime Minister, I uphold national laws and regulations. Jingzhao Mansion handled the case with iron face and found out Xue Bai's major crime. He

So I deliberately confuse the public and I beg your Majesty to investigate clearly."

Everything he said was true.

Therefore, Xue Bai failed to get rid of Xue Bai after repeated attempts. He realized that the saint was not easy to fool, so he carefully and seriously found out the truth this time.

At this moment, he is very sincere, just like when countless people said to him in the past, "I really don't have a good relationship with the East Palace."

"I beg your Majesty to investigate clearly." Xue Bai immediately added.

Li Linfu was finally angered by this attitude of hiding evil intentions, and quickly glanced at Xiao Jiong, signaling him to come forward.

At present, the war of words will only be led by Xue Bai. The best way is to ignore the bamboo paper and commit Xue Bai's crime.

"Your Majesty, I don't know about bamboo paper." Xiao Jiong gritted his teeth and spoke immediately, "I judged the case impartially and found many supporting evidences before I dared to doubt Xue Bai. For example, Xue Bai and Pei Mian seemed to have nothing to do with each other.

In fact, according to the servants of Pei Mansion, Fengweilou often sends food boxes there..."

"You still dare to frame me." Xue Bai said: "If you investigate the case like this, how can I tell you the evidence that your right minister killed Pei Mian?"

The argument with Xiao Jiong just now was to wash away his sins, but now it was Xue Bai's attack.

Xue Bai was not worried that Jingzhao Mansion would be able to find evidence of the crime from the beginning. There were only two people and two Mo knives. How could he not even be able to hide these? The key was that he saw that Lu Qi's clues were given by the East Palace.

It's a pity that Lu Qi did not dare to come to the court to testify, otherwise he would have counterattacked Lu Qi and contacted him between the East Palace and the Right Prime Minister's Mansion, pointing out that the Crown Prince and the Right Prime Minister were cooperating. And who died when he saw it?

The only thing I didn't expect was that the kid couldn't stand the scare and actually found a way to escape.

But it doesn't matter, this way, the fire can't burn Xue Bai anymore, and he can burn as much as he wants.

"Pei Mian was Wang's man and had been in and out of Youxiang's house many times. Youxiang was jealous of Wang's talents and worried that he would replace Youxiang if he became the imperial censor. He wanted to get rid of Wang Zhi, so he killed Pei Mian first...

…”

"Nonsense!" Xiao Jiong interrupted quickly, "You are so bold, do you dare to bite in front of the emperor?"

"Only Jingyin is allowed to provide evidence, but not to tell the truth?" Xue Bai said: "Let's talk about Pan bite, what does this matter have to do with me? I have no selfish motives."

"The right prime minister never kills people." Xiao Jiong was so angry that he said what he meant, put on a righteous look, and shouted: "No matter how sweet you talk, it's hard to change the facts!"

"Whether it's true or not, the evidence speaks for itself. Your accusations are groundless. As for whether I'm 'obfuscationing' or not, do you dare to look at my credentials?"

Xiao Jiong was shocked.

He had no hesitation when he came, thinking that even if he could not convict Xue Bai, there would be no other trouble.

But there are some things about the paper that the Right Chancellor may not know the details of, but he knows them very well.

Although Li Linfu didn't know the details, when he saw Xiao Jiong so surprised, he immediately had a bad feeling in his heart. Although he had no selfish intentions, he couldn't stop his men from setting himself on fire.

What we have to consider now is no longer how to deal with Xue Bai, I'm afraid we have to put out the fire first...

Imperial City, Shangshu Province, and Punishment Department.

The door to the class room was opened. Du Wulang looked up and asked, "Why is it so early for the punishment department to serve dinner? Has someone come to hand over our food books?"

"What kind of food is there? It's being interrogated."

Du Wulang was stunned for a moment, then turned around and saw that a junior official was about to take Da Xi Yingying out. He was a little worried and said: "Chief official, just ask me if you have anything to do. I was the one who beat Yuan Zong."

"Don't panic, Wu Lang. Let's ask questions separately."

The officials of the Ministry of Punishment even had a better attitude. They actually took Du Wulang to the side for questioning and left Da Xi Yingying behind.

"Tell me, why did you beat the officer?"

Da Xi Yingying responded: "When I was fighting, I didn't know that the man was Jing Zhaohu Cao. I saw him bullying Wu Lang, so I asked someone to help me without thinking."

"Yuan Miao was already held down, why did Xue Bai go up and kick him hard?"

"Lang Jun, he..."

"Explain it carefully, don't think that we don't know that you are Xue Bai's confidant."

Hearing this sentence made Da Xi Yingying feel proud. She thought for a moment, knowing that Xue Bai had not ordered it to be kept secret, so it could be said, so she smiled slightly and uttered one word.

"Paper."

"Paper? What do you mean?"

"Yuan Ming seems to be here to steal the shop, but he is actually here to steal our papermaking technology." Da Xi Yingying said: "I am Lang Jun's confidant, so I know how amazing this technology is."

…

On the other side, Du Wulang was even more indifferent and told the truth.

The official was already somewhat familiar with him, and finally asked jokingly: "So, your papermaking technology can make a lot of money, Wulang, can you tell me a little bit about it?"

"Okay." Du Wulang chuckled and replied, "The secret is that you need to soak the bamboo with children's urine to make it pliable."

"Hahaha, so it turns out that Motodo Cao was beaten for trying to steal the boy's urine formula?"

"Isn't that exactly what it is?"

As soon as Du Wulang saw this cheerful atmosphere, he knew that Xue Bai had taken action again. Since the Liu Ji case, he had gradually become accustomed to this kind of thing. He no longer had the fear at that time, and instead became a source of conversation for others to admire him.

After the news was reported, before evening, the door to the class room was pushed open again.
