Yao Siyi said, with a thought in his mind, he looked at Li Linfu again and understood that Zhang Bian wanted to say that the thief might have been let go by the right minister.

In this way, he would be spared from punishment.

~~

The reactions of these people in Xianchi Hall did not affect the saint's interest. The drums on the stage rang again, and the next play had begun.

Gao Lishi was standing in the side hall arranging matters. Seeing that Li Linfu looked a little tired, he reached out to give him a hand.

Li Linfu waved his hands to show that he could stand.

"General Gao, we searched Chengxiang Palace and found no thieves."

"You searched Chengxiang Palace?" Li Linfu asked in surprise, "Who gave the order?"

"I don't know. I only heard people say that I want to protect Fan Meiren's safety."

"Continue searching." Gao Lishi ordered.

Afterwards, he said with emotion: "When it comes to catching thieves in the palace, it reminds me of what happened back then."

Li Linfu couldn't help coughing twice and said: "General Gao is worrying too much. Today is just a trivial matter."

After that, he changed the topic, lowered his voice, and said: "But this matter must have been arranged by someone. General Gao has many servants. Do you know who did it?"

"Then it depends on who this matter is to deal with today and who it can involve." Gao Lishi said, "Who does the right minister think it can involve?"

Li Linfu said: "No matter who is involved, it is better to have less than more."

"If there is no evidence, it is nothing. If there is evidence, no one can deceive the saint."

With just these few words, both of them have made their positions clear. Li Linfu knew that if something happened to Xue Bai, he would be involved, and he hoped that Gao Lishi would take action to calm it down; Gao Lishi would have to wait and see how things progressed. If Xue Bai was really stolen,

There is nothing anyone can do.

Li Linfu couldn't ask Gao Lishi to take action, so he turned to look at the palace, his eyes wandering around, and saw Yao Siyi talking to Zhang Bian, so he planned to be a peacemaker himself and persuade Yao Siyi with the majesty of the right minister.

When I tried to take another step, I felt dizzy again, followed by numbness in my legs and feet.

He felt that he had endured the pain without revealing any flaws, but Li Xiu, who was standing aside, still saw something was wrong and hurried over to help him.

Li Linfu pushed Li Xiu, hid his hand in his sleeve and secretly placed it on Li Xiu's arm, and whispered something.

"Hold on, don't let anyone see it."

"Grandpa, do you still recognize me?" Li Xiu's voice was full of worry.

Li Linfu felt that the sound in his ears was very far away, and he could faintly hear the "dong dong dong" drum beat. He didn't know whether it was a saint performing on stage or an illusion.

It suddenly occurred to me that that year, Wu Fengniang took him to the palace for the first time to have a banquet. At that time, the saint was sitting next to Concubine Wu Hui. The Wu sisters liked him very much and praised him repeatedly.

——"Juro is a handsome man. I didn't expect him to be so good at music. Can you sing another song?"

Thinking of this, Li Linfu felt a burst of joy.

As a person lives, sometimes he feels that the most precious things are the memories of his youth, which are worth recalling again and again.

He seemed to see Wu Fengniang again...

The next moment, a eunuch came into his eyes. Because he was so handsome, he was stunned for a moment. He thought to himself for a moment: "Isn't that Li Linfu?"

"No, if he is Li Linfu, who am I?"

Li Linfu shook his head, recalling Xue Bai's ridicule that day.

The sarcasm was so harsh that it even pierced his heart, causing him to tremble and his eyes to become more focused.

Qiang braced himself and looked around, but saw Xue Bai wearing the eunuch's clothes, rushing to the saint, and said loudly: "Your Majesty, I have something to report!"

~~

Li Longji was very excited to play the Jade Emperor today, but he was too old to sing continuously, so he sang for a while and took a break. At this time, he had rested enough and was about to go on stage again. He saw Xue Bai, dressed in a nondescript way, blocking him in front of him. He immediately became unhappy.

.

Before he had time to think about the connection between Xue Bai and the thief in the palace, he heard Xue Bai shouting loudly.

"The minister impeached Yao Siyi, the eating envoy, for being corrupt and perverting the law. He was framed by him. He deliberately led the minister to the Chengxiang Palace in order to frame him for the crime of being dirty and messing with the palace!"

Shi Potian's shocking words attracted the attention of everyone in the hall.

In fact, no one resonated with the heavenly drama performed by the saint. Instead, when Xue Bai made a fuss, there was excitement again. Starting from the Shangyuan Imperial Banquet in the sixth year of Tianbao, such lively things happened from time to time, which made people very tired.

But without it, it feels dull.

Yang Guozhong smiled, sat down behind the desk, took a sip of wine, and sat on the wall to watch.

Zhang Bian frowned, turned around calmly before everyone looked at Yao Siyi, and sat back. But he did not look at Xue Bai, but his eyes fell on Li Linfu, and he quickly noticed that something was wrong with Li Linfu's expression.

Yao Siyi was greatly surprised. He never expected that Xue Bai's method of breaking the situation was exactly the same as what Wu Huaishi taught him - the evildoer complained first.

But it is not easy for the evildoer to complain first. You need to have the courage to risk everything and make a decision as soon as possible.

Xue Bai made a decision too quickly. Yao Siyi was still thinking about it, thinking about sorting out the relationship between the enemy and the enemy, but was suddenly thrown into disarray.

Under the eyes of everyone, he subconsciously wanted to refute, raised his hand and pointed at Xue Bai, and shouted.

"You...you are a filthy mess!"

The scandal that should have been quietly reported to the saint for private settlement has been made public. In this way, everyone who heard the matter must be given an explanation, which will have a great impact on the final result.

As soon as the words came out of her mouth, Yao Siyi regretted them.

But it was too late.

This scolding was quite serious, at least it frightened Xie Man, who had just entered the palace.

Others didn't know, but Xie Aman knew that Xue Bai had indeed messed up the palace... After all, he had just hidden in her skirt, riding in the same chariot, and passed the heavy guards.

If anyone knew about this, I'm afraid no one would be able to pass the test today.

She was feeling extremely guilty anyway, but Xue Bai still looked upright and awe-inspiring.

"As the imperial censor in the palace, I have the duty of correction and impeachment." Xue Bai said, "A plate of delicacies bought by Yao Siyi costs one hundred thousand to one million, of which 90% is corrupt. I will list the detailed evidence in the memorial. In addition,

In the middle of April, the scholar Dou Hua left the palace, which coincided with Princess Xianyi's meal. Yao Siyi ordered hundreds of palace children to hold court sticks to drive Dou Hua and the accompanying officials to Zhongqu. Where is the face of the imperial officials?"

"Sage, he has wronged this slave!"

Yao Siyi subconsciously wanted to deny it, but it took a moment to realize that Xue Bai had already taken the upper hand. If he just denied it, he would be restrained everywhere.

He knelt down on the ground, moved his knees a few steps towards Li Longji, and cried: "Xue Bai threatened the slave about Princess Xianyi eating and asked the slave to let him have a tryst with Princess Hezheng!"

Xue Bai said: "When you learned that I had impeached you, you specially invited me to meet you and asked me to record affairs under the sect, minister, and secretary. You said you would take me to see General Gao to finalize the matter.

, I am determined to see what your intentions are before I go with your people..."

"That's enough."

Li Longji was fed up with making trouble every time at his royal banquet, and said impatiently: "Take these two people to Beiya Prison, and the banquet will continue."

Regardless of whether he killed Xue Bai or not, he decided that he would never invite this Zhuzi to a banquet in the future. He would just treat the wonderful person who presented stir-fried dishes, poems, dominoes, stories, operas, and board games as dead, leaving only the annoying

Xue Yushi.

Because of the fun he had in the past, he tolerated Xue Bai too much and spoiled Xue Bai to the point of becoming lawless.

Now that he is tired, the kindness of the king and his ministers ends here.

"Father." Li Heng stood up immediately, "I have something to report."

Nowadays, there are very few court meetings. The only opportunity for the prince to meet the officials is the few banquets every year. What he wants most is to use the royal banquet as a court meeting to participate in state affairs.

In other words, why do things always end up at the royal banquet? Because the Hunjun doesn't come to court early! It took a lot of effort to cause trouble, but how can the Hunjun be allowed to get over it easily?

"Since the unclean palace was mentioned today, I thought it was time to find out the truth to avoid misunderstandings by officials." Li Heng said loudly, "What's more, since my daughter is involved, I swear to protect her reputation!"

After saying that, he glared at Yao Siyi.

These words seemed to be on Xue Bai's side, but the reputation of the princess of the Tang Dynasty was not very good, and Li Heng didn't care that much. Instead, he was more willing to see how Yao Siyi sued Xue Bai, and

Involving Li Linfu.

"This slave deserves to die!" Yao Siyi immediately understood Li Heng's thoughts and said: "Xue Bai forced this slave to let him see Princess Hezheng. The slave thought that he had something serious to say, but she didn't expect that he would take the opportunity to find someone.

I asked for a eunuch's attire. When my slave heard about it, I realized something was wrong and rushed to report it to the saint. As a result, I heard that a foreign official came to Chengxiang Palace to steal, and my slave was really shocked!"

Xue Bai asked: "Why am I like this?"

"In order to meet Princess Hezheng..."

"Absurd!" Xue Bai said sternly: "Princess Hezheng and I are neighbors in Xuanyangfang, why should we risk a tryst in the palace?"

"Then you are here to meet the maid of Ye Ting, or to find a chance to meet Beauty Fan!"

Li Longji's eyes were covered with gloom, and he looked at Xue Bai with a vague murderous intent.

Xue Bai was surprised at first, then shook his head coldly, and said calmly: "You want to frame me, but you don't know me well. How could I ruin my future and life for the sake of a woman? To frame me for such a ridiculous crime."

It seems that he is truly a gentleman.

"you……"

Yao Siyi glanced at Wu Huaishi first, and realized that there was no way back now, and immediately said: "You are so sanctimonious, who in Chang'an City doesn't know you, Xue Bai?!"
