Chapter 570 Talent is hard to find
When Yan cleaned and cleaned, put on a brand-new Confucian cloth skirt, white shirt and long sleeves, and came out to meet each other in a Zhuge car, Wang Xian felt that he was only missing a feather fan, and Kong Ming was alive and well.

"Haha, it really is sword-browed, star-eyed, dragon and phoenix among men!" Wang Xian looked at Yan Qing with interest and said, "No wonder you don't want to marry the beautiful girl of heaven!"

"Your Excellency, you are joking..." Yan Qing couldn't help but blushed slightly. When he was a Jinshi, he was indeed favored by some princes and nobles and wanted to recruit him as his son-in-law. Finally escaped back to his hometown and got married with his fiancée, only to avoid the encounter of being kidnapped and married by a wealthy family... After so many years, it is unexpected that Wang Xian even knows this kind of gossip.

"Okay, please take a seat." Wang Xian asked Yan Qing to take the seat, but Yan Qing naturally refused, the two sides gave way, and finally sat down.

At this time, the soldiers came to the table, and Wang Xian smiled and said: "I heard from my wife that Brother Zilian is a layman, so he prepared this table of vegetarian banquets. Brother Zilian, do you like it if you try it?"

"I am a disciple of Confucius and Mencius, but my ancestors worshiped the Buddha, and I have been eating vegetarian food since I was a child to worship the Buddha. Respecting the Buddha is even more respectful to my ancestors." Although he has a deep understanding of Wang Xian's thoughtfulness, Yan Qing was still quite moved when he heard the words. Looking at the exquisitely shaped and brightly colored dishes on the table, he smiled and said, "Just by looking at the colors and shapes, you can tell that they are extraordinary."

"Whether it's good or not, you'll know if you taste it." Wang Xian held up his chopsticks and said, "Try these dishes and see if they look good?"

Under Wang Xian's kindness, Yan Qing had no choice but to pick up a chopsticks Jinzhenchuansun roll and put it in his mouth for a taste.Then try a few dishes such as gluten with mushrooms and emerald vegetarian chicken slices.Can't help but ask curiously: "Where is Master Su Zhai, who has such a good craftsmanship?"

"I invited it from Qingshou Temple." Wang Xian said with a smile: "Try this vegetarian wine again. It tastes very clear and soft. It is brewed by the old monk himself." The so-called vegetarian wine is the wine offered to gods and Buddhas in temples. , It is also the wine that monks, nuns and laymen can drink.This kind of wine is different from strong "meat wine" such as rice wine and sorghum wine. The method is that it has not been "distilled" but simply filtered out the distiller's grains, and the remaining wine is boiled in a pot so that the wine will not deteriorate. .This kind of wine is not easy to intoxicate, but the taste is very problematic, so it must be sieved before drinking.But the vegetarian wine brewed by Yao Guangxiao is as clear as shochu, and the taste is even better than shochu. People have to be convinced that the old monk is a natural winner, and he will excel in everything he does.

Hearing that he was Yao Guangxiao's cook, Yan Qing knew it immediately, and it would be even more fortunate to taste the vegetarian wine brewed by Yao Shaoshi himself.However, although the dishes are delicious and he is hungry, Yan Qing still maintains a gentleman's demeanor. After a little taste, he immediately raised his glass to Wang Xian and said: "The so-called great kindness dare not be thanked. The kindness of adults is in my heart. A toast to your lord!"

"Do it." Wang Xian ate a glass of wine with him, and then asked him to fill up: "I will also respect Brother Zi Lian for a glass, and I will cleanse the dust for you. I wish you a very happy coming!"

"Thank you, my lord!" Yan Qing also drank it all in one gulp. The two sides exchanged cups and drank a few cups of wine, and Yan Qing couldn't help but said: "My lord, the retrial of Qi Dazhu's case has encountered difficulties again?"

"Haha, I'm only drinking today, and we'll talk about the business tomorrow." Wang Xian said with a smile.

"My lord, we've had a drink too, let's get down to business." Yan Qing couldn't wait to say: "If this case is not resolved, I will be stuck in my throat for a day, and I can't eat or drink."

"Then let's talk about it," Wang Xian said with a smile to Wu Wei who was accompanying him next time, "You can briefly introduce the development of the case."

"Yes." Wu Wei had already put down his chopsticks, wiped his hands and rinsed his mouth. Hearing this, he said to Yan Qing: "Not long after your lord took office, your lady complained about your grievances for your husband outside the gate. Later, we investigated and the news came from Ji Gang's subordinates. It was deliberately distributed to Madam."

"I'm ashamed, my wife was induced by a traitor and caused trouble for my lord." Yan Qing said hastily.

"It doesn't matter." Wang Xian shook his head and said with a smile: "I can't get along with the old thief Ji Gang. Even if he doesn't use this case to punish me, he will dig other pits for me to jump in." He said with a sincere smile: "Besides , without this case, how can I pull brother Zilian out of the sea of ​​suffering?"

"Your Excellency, you have heard of me before?" Yan Qing finally expressed the question in his heart.He knew that now that he was penniless and full of troubles, it was impossible for Wang Xian to do anything to him, but the extraordinary importance and courteous treatment he had for him really made him feel uneasy.

"Brother Zilian, you should know that Zhejiang Zhou Niantai is my close teacher, right?" Wang Xian smiled slightly.

"So that's how it is." Yan Qing suddenly realized that he was carefully cultivated by Zhou Xin, and it is not an exaggeration to say that Zhou Xin is his mentor.And Wang Xian is the "No. [-] official in the south of the Yangtze River" inscribed by Zhou Xin himself. It can be said that Zhou Xin single-handedly promoted them, and the two can be regarded as the same family.Presumably Zhou Xin once asked him to help him. Yan Qing felt infinitely grateful to his old boss, and completely let go of his guard against Wang Xian, treating him as a close fellow...

Wu Wei recounted the trial process last month in a simple and accurate manner. At the end, Wang Xian sighed:
"Your Madam is really an admirable woman. She has been silently collecting evidence, contacting witnesses, and successfully got the blacksmith's wife to testify in court." He said with a face of shame: "It's a pity that this is the first time this official has opened a courtroom." After passing the trial, because of his lack of experience, Li Gouzi and Li Chun had the opportunity to meet and collude with each other, and as a result, Li Gouzi shouldered all the guilt alone, and the situation that was supposed to win suddenly fell into a stalemate."

After Yan Qing listened silently, he began to think.The way he thinks is really charming, his brows are slightly frowned, and his eyes are serious, as if all ghost tricks cannot escape his eyes.After pondering for a moment, he smiled and said, "My lord, it's been a month since the last session. The case must have progressed during this time?"

"Hehe..." Wang Xian smiled and said, "How did brother Zilian know?"

"I heard that Dudu Ji was trapped in Thorn City for nearly a month. Dudu Ji was worried that there would be a change in the case, so he wanted to imprison the adults, but in the end, the adults took the opportunity to escape." Yan Qing showed a pale face. A faint smile appeared on the screen and said: "For such a precious period of time, I don't think it's impossible for your lord to do nothing?"

"Maybe I'm trying to find ways, but I'm still at a loss." Wang Xian said with a smile.

"But my lord is happy to be intimate with me, but I'm not in a hurry." After a pause, Yan Qing said with a smile: "And what my lord said to comfort my wife is obviously well-planned, and I just want to give me the opportunity to express myself."

"Hahaha, as expected of Yan Zilian who sees the fire so well," Wang Xian laughed loudly after hearing the words: "But this is not entirely true!" He said seriously: "Yes, I have indeed found a way to make Li Gouzi change his mind, but I It’s not Li Chun who needs to be dealt with!”

"That's right, Li Chun is already a dead bone in the grave, so there's no need to spend too much effort on him." Yan Qing nodded, and said with deep hatred in his cold eyes: "It should be Ji Gang that my lord wants to deal with."

"Haha, it's really worth waiting for me." Wang Xian laughed happily: "Zi Lian is right, from the very beginning, I only want to deal with Ji Gang, otherwise there would be no need to spend so much trouble!"

"Yes." Yan Qing nodded and said: "If you are a minister, you can't say that you are a lord, Yao and Shun, and you can't make your father unrighteous! However, the old thief Ji Gang is rampant and lawless. It is really a big treachery and a big evil to commit an injustice case and damage the emperor's sanctity!" As he spoke, his eyes were cold and he said: "Only by letting the Holy Majesty realize the sinister intentions of this beast, can the great harm to this country be eliminated!"

"Hahaha, it's hard to find a bosom friend, but how lucky I am to meet Brother Zilian?" Wang Xianzhang laughed and said, "What you said is exactly what I think, I just want the emperor to see Ji Gang clearly." Fuck your majesty's sinister intentions to show off your power!" He laughed loudly and said, "With Zi Lian's help, why worry about not being able to eliminate harm for the country?!"

"My lord..." Yan Qing naturally hated Ji Gang to the bone, and he was always thinking of revenge, but he was not dazzled by the hatred, but calmly weighed it up and said: "Ji Gang's old thief has deep roots and leaves, and he can't be eliminated in a short while." Yes, if you want to get rid of him, you have to do a lot of things."

"I would like to hear the details!" Wang Xian said with a smile.

"Everyone in the world knows that Ji Gang is treacherous, why is the emperor not aware of it? There are two reasons for this. One is that the emperor and his father bribed him, so his evil deeds cannot be heard by the heavens. The two emperors think that although Ji Gang has committed crimes, he is still loyal. Geng Geng, so he is still available." Yan Qing said in a deep voice: "It is because one of the adults should try to eradicate the ears, eyes, and tongues in the palace, so that the emperor can hear without hindrance. The two adults should try to expose their deception. His evil deeds will enlighten the Lord's Sacred Heart!"

"However, Ji Gang has killed countless people for the emperor in the past ten years. He knows too many things, so the emperor will inevitably be wary. I'm afraid it will be difficult to make up his mind to get rid of him." Yan Qing said again.

"That's right." Wang Xian nodded and said, "His minions and spies are far more than a thousand? I'm afraid the power hidden in the dark is even greater, so we must beware of him jumping over the wall in a hurry, and we must be fully prepared before we can attack him!"

"Therefore, there is only one crime that can make the emperor make up his mind..." Yan Qing said with quiet eyes.

"You mean?" Wang Xian dipped his fingers in some tea and wrote a word on the table.

Yan Qing also dipped his fingers in water and wrote a word. The two of them saw that it was the same word!

"Okay!" Wang Xian couldn't help laughing. All along, he suffered from the fact that he didn't have a think tank around him. Although Erhei Shuaihui and others were loyal, they could only follow orders and let them find ways to come up with ideas. They are still suffering.Even Wu Wei, the most outstanding person, is unable to discuss major issues because of his age and experience.So most of the time, it was Wang Xian who made up his mind alone, no one helped to find a solution, and no one picked up what was lost. It was really troublesome and error-prone.

This is also the reason why he attaches so much importance to Yan Qing. A talent like Yan Zilian, who was born as a Jinshi, has served in the local court for a long time, and has outstanding political achievements, is like a god in judging cases.Therefore, Wang Xian must seize this opportunity and let Yan Qing use it for himself, and he must not miss it.
