"..."

Wang Zhongling was truly speechless. He squeezed his small eyes and looked at Li Qi with resentment. I didn't wait for such a bully to fall into such a situation. You still come to add insult to injury. No matter how hateful it is, it's nothing more than this.

Sweat! Are you kidding me? Do you need to look at me with such affectionate eyes? Li Qi laughed twice and said: "I just thought that Uncle Wang, you must be bored sitting here, so I wanted to lighten the atmosphere -

-Haha, it seems to be self-defeating, but Uncle Wang, you know that my intentions are still good."

"I really didn't see that."

Wang Zhongling snorted softly, sat back at the table, and folded his head.

No, when did you become so thin-skinned? Li Qi quickly sat over, put the gift on the table, and said, "Uncle Wang, are you feeling well?"

Wang Zhongling turned his head and said calmly: "Who knows who lives there."

Ri. My IQ has really improved. I can say such philosophical words without blinking. Li Qi was secretly surprised and sighed: "Uncle Wang, I'm not talking about you. You have been an official for so many years, how can you still do it?"

You would make such a low-level mistake."

Wang Zhongling was very excited when he heard this and said, "Don't you even believe me? Someone is clearly trying to frame me."

Just say it, why are you spitting? Fortunately, I was prepared. Li Qi moved the gift in front of him aside, nodded and said: "Yes, of course I know this, but you have indeed leaked the test questions. If you don't

If you leak test questions, how can others harm you?"

Wang Zhongling was stunned for a while and sighed: "I'll tell you the truth. In fact, I haven't figured out how this test question was leaked. I have always been very cautious. I don't even let my family see it, so others can't know it at all.

"

Li Qi frowned and said, "Think carefully and see if you were careless somewhere."

Wang Zhongling waved his hand and said: "I have thought about it countless times, and there is nothing wrong at all. Everyone knows what Enke means to the emperor this time. How dare I be careless."

"That's true." Li Qi thought for a while and said, "Did you go to any special place during the period when you were writing the question?"

Wang Zhongling said: "Whenever I had time at that time, I was looking for information to prepare for exam questions."

Li Qi hurriedly asked: "Then where did you find the information?"

Wang Zhongling said: "Of course it is the Ministry of Industry. My previous information is all in the Ministry of Industry. And the Ministry of Industry also has many examples."

Li Qi rolled his eyes and said, "I understand, that's the problem."

Wang Zhongling was stunned and said: "You mean the Ministry of Industry?"

Li Qi nodded and said: "Uncle Wang, think about it. As long as you take out the information you are looking for and guess what questions you asked, it will be easy. Now the Ministry of Industry is no longer the former Ministry of Industry."

.”

Wang Zhongling stayed for a while, then suddenly excitedly slapped the table several times and said: "Yes, yes, there must be something wrong here, which caused the test questions to be leaked. Now that the reason has been found, you can overturn the case for me."

Li Qi said angrily: "Uncle Wang, this is just our inference, but there is no evidence, and this is not a trivial matter. How could the other party leave evidence here? Even if there is evidence, it is still your dereliction of duty. Say a thousand,

To be honest, it is your fault that the test questions were leaked, this is indisputable."

Wang Zhongling said anxiously: "What should I do? Do I have to stay here for the rest of my life?"

"this---."

Li Qi sighed lightly.

When Wang Zhongling saw Li Qi's expression, he immediately turned pale. He knew that Li Qi was the only one in the government and the public who could save him, so he had always had a glimmer of hope. However, now that he saw that Li Qi seemed helpless, he couldn't help but feel sad. despair.

After a while, Wang Zhongling's eyes turned red and he said: "Li Qi, Uncle Wang, I'm begging you. I don't want to regret my old life. I just ask you to protect dozens of people in my Wang family."

Li Qi hurriedly said: "Uncle Wang, what are you talking about? When did I say you were hopeless?"

Wang Zhongling was stunned and said: "That expression you just had was not ---."

Li Qidao: "The crime of dereliction of duty will not lead to death."

Wang Zhongling's heart ignited hope again and said: "You mean I can still be saved?"

Li Qidao: "I'm sure I won't die, but---."

Wang Zhongling was overjoyed at first, and then asked nervously: "Just what?"

Li Qi sighed and said, "It's just that I'm afraid I can't keep my official position."

Wang Zhongling was stunned again. He had been an official for so many years, and of course he didn't want to lose it all. But then he thought about it, now even his life is at stake, why do he expect so much? He said hurriedly: "I don't dare to think about any official position. , as long as my family’s lives are protected, that’s all.”

This is what you said, I didn't force you. Li Qi coughed and said: "If Uncle Wang thinks so, it would be much easier to handle, but it would be a pity, otherwise I would go there again Think of a way?"

Wang Zhongling waved his hands repeatedly and said: "I just want to go home as soon as possible. I'm almost going crazy. Tell me what you have in mind?"

Li Qidao: "I believe Uncle Wang should have guessed who did this."

Wang Zhongling snorted and said: "I have guessed this a long time ago, and I said you did too. If it weren't for you, how could he be where he is today."

Is it all my fault? Li Qi rolled his eyes and said: "You can't blame me. He can climb to this position because of his own ability. This is all decided by the emperor and not recommended by me. However, the king Don’t worry, uncle, I have already helped you get revenge."

Wang Zhongling was shocked, with tears shining in the corners of his eyes, and said: "You killed him? That's great, Li Qi, you really value love and justice."

It seems that there is really a fine line between madness and genius. I was almost concealed by him, so he must still be crazy. Li Qi said depressedly: "Uncle Wang is thinking too much. I have never killed anyone in my life." of."

Wang Zhongling asked in astonishment: "Then what are you referring to?"

Li Qi told him about the Legislative Yuan.

After hearing this, Wang Zhongling patted the table and laughed loudly: "It's so good! It's so good! Li Qi, what you did is so beautiful. Wow haha."

Is there any need to be so exaggerated? Li Qi smiled and said: "Uncle Wang is too generous. If I don't teach him a lesson, how can I have the nerve to come see Uncle Wang?"

"Haha. You are really thoughtful." Wang Zhongling laughed, and suddenly his face suddenly darkened, and said: "What about me? You haven't said anything about me yet."

I thought you had forgotten. Li Qidao: "If Uncle Wang wants to keep his official position, the key is whether he can find the person who sponsors the candidates. If Uncle Wang wants to come out as soon as possible, then this official position may not be saved."

Wang Zhongling calmed down this time and said: "Even though I don't expect to wear official uniform, it is not easy to let me out. There are also disciples of the Bai family involved."

Li Qidao: "Who can prove that they are related to you?"

Wang Zhongling said anxiously: "But I am the one who gave the test questions."

Li Qidao: "But the current situation is that the test questions have been leaked. In this case, there is no direct evidence to prove that the person behind the scenes is you. Moreover, as long as you admit to leaking the test questions, then you can only be found guilty of dereliction of duty. Unless the mysterious person is found

.Otherwise, we can only judge you for dereliction of duty, but not for seeking public benefit for personal gain. If you find that mysterious person, then everything will be revealed."

When he said this, Li Qi suddenly felt like a very famous general, except that he belonged to the other party.

Wang Zhongling thought for a long time and said, "Is this okay?"

Li Qi nodded and said: "If Uncle Wang doesn't want to wait any longer, I should be able to do this. Of course, I have also secretly sent people to track down the mysterious man."

After all, Wang Zhongling has been an official for so many years. He also knows what is going on here. He knows that it will be difficult to find that person. Since the other party dares to do this, he is sure that they will not be able to find evidence. He nodded and said

: "Then I'll trouble you."

Li Qi chuckled and said, "Uncle Wang said that and said that he is out of touch."

Wang Zhongling was delighted when he heard this and said, "That's true. How are you and Sanniang?"

Li Qi smiled shyly and said, "You know my daughter's brain is straight and it's hard to turn around. I'm still working hard, right?"

Seeing that Li Qi finally relented, Wang Zhongling felt happy and relieved. He patted Li Qi on the shoulder and said with a wicked smile: "With your methods, how can my little girl escape your grasp? Uncle Wang has always been very optimistic about you.

"

These words sounded a bit strange. Li Qi nodded or shook his head, and could only respond with a shy smile!

After chatting with Wang Zhongling about recent events, Li Qi stood up and left. Wang Zhongling still kept thinking about it and sent it to the door, so he could only send it here.

Li Gang, who was waiting outside, saw Li Qi coming out and immediately came over to greet him. He said with a hint of curiosity: "Why did the Privy Councilor come out so quickly? I'm going to ask someone to prepare some food--"

Li Qi didn't wait for him to finish his words, and waved his hands: "No, no, I appreciate Li Shangshu's kindness, but I am not in the mood to eat here. Besides, Uncle Wang is still losing weight and becoming China, so he can't do it too much."

Give him something delicious to eat so that he won’t be able to withstand the temptation.”

Lose weight? Li Gang nodded dullly.

Li Qi suddenly stretched out his hand and said, "Li Shangshu, can we chat for a few words?"

Li Gang stretched out his hand and said, "Please."

The two walked to the front yard, and Li Qi said as they walked: "Now the emperor has asked Li Shangshu to draft the program of the Legislative Yuan. This matter is very important, but I wonder what Li Shangshu thinks is the greatest feature of the law?"

Li Gang said without hesitation: "Fair."

Li Qi nodded and said: "Yes, it is fair. There are too many injustices in the world. In fact, the law can only limit some of them. There is no absolute fairness in this world, but it is precisely because of this that we

To do better, to make the law fairer."

Li Gang nodded and said: "What the Privy Councilor said is that the road is still long, and we also have a long way to go."

Li Qi hummed and asked again: "I wonder what Li Shangshu values ​​most during the review process?"

Li Gang said: "Of course it is evidence."

"What if there is no evidence?"

"Of course he must be found not guilty."

Li Qi nodded and said: "But there is still an interrogation process in between. If this interrogation process is unlimited, then the government can use this reason to imprison the suspect forever. Oh, of course I am not talking about Li Shangshu, just

I am afraid that some people will take advantage of this loophole to avenge themselves."
