This martial saint's health bar is too thick

Chapter 291 Imperial Envoy
Li Fei requested a retrial of Shangguan Xiao's case!

This is equivalent to publicly questioning the decision of the Prime Minister and the cabinet!

Even the prince's face changed when he heard this.

He also never expected that the 'first in history' whom he personally introduced could be so bold!
"His Majesty."

Just when everyone was shocked by Li Fei's audacity, Ming Qi, who had been silent, suddenly spoke.

He also bowed to the emperor:
"I don't want any reward, I just ask Your Majesty to review this case!"

"Oh?"

The emperor looked at Ming Qi in surprise, "Are you also related to this case?"

Ming Qi shook his head: "I have nothing to do with this case."

The emperor smiled and said, "Then why do you also ask for a retrial of this case?"

Ming Qi turned his head and glanced at Li Fei beside him.

From the beginning till now, others only saw Li Fei's audacity and thought he was arrogant because of his talent.

Only Mingqi saw Li Fei's sincere heart and the true feelings between Li Fei and his master.

Mingqi understands this!
So he pleaded for Li Fei and was willing to use his own reward to exchange for the opportunity for Li Fei to have his case retried.

Li Fei didn't expect Ming Qi to actually ask to help him, and he couldn't help but feel warm in his heart.

In fact, he was not very confident that he could really re-examine the case, he was just giving it a try.

If it was just for him, and for the posthumous reputation of Shangguan Xiao and Hao Yi, this case would never be retried.

Because on the other side is a provincial governor and a grand master!

But Datong Prefecture has openly broken off relations with that side, and there is also Wu'an University, which is in direct competition with Hongyi University.

So Li Fei is not fighting alone.

If this case can really be retried, Datong Prefecture and Wu'an University will definitely be happy to see it.

Sure enough, a minister immediately stood out from the queue:
"Your Majesty, I was also involved in the trial of this case. I felt that it was a bit strange and suspicious. So I think the case can be retried!"

This person is Fang Xingmao, a member of the Inspection Cabinet.

When Shangguan Xiao's case was reported to the central government by Bian Jingru, Fang Xingmao and Duan Qi were the first to be responsible for the "preliminary trial".

The two had an open quarrel in the Zixu Hall of the Cabinet Courtyard.

The 'Canglin Lu family' has connections in the cabinet, and Bian Jingru, the governor of Datong Prefecture, also has his own connections.

"Father!"

Seeing that Mingqi had also been eliminated, and the cabinet minister had spoken, the prince felt that this was a good opportunity and quickly spoke:

“Although I have only known Li Fei for a short time, I believe in his character. He will never speak nonsense and ignore the laws of the court. Moreover, he is not the only one who has objections to this matter, but the entire Datong Prefecture has objections!
Father, why not re-examine this case? This will appease the two great men of the country, and also the officials of Datong Prefecture."

The eldest prince couldn't help but say:
"Father, I think this is absolutely unacceptable. How can the case formally decided by the Prime Minister and the Central Cabinet be overturned and retried without any evidence? How can this reassure the many officials in Feng Province? How can this reassure the ministers in the cabinet?"

As soon as he finished speaking, other cabinet ministers stood up to support him.

Some of these cabinet ministers are from the eldest prince's men, while others are from the "Canglin Lu Family".

The emperor did not say anything and just watched everyone speak quietly.

After a moment, Duan Qi, a member of the Zhige Pavilion who had just stepped out of the line, suddenly shouted loudly:

"Your Majesty, I have something to say!"

"explain."

The emperor raised his eyes.

Duan Qi said: "These two geniuses both said they don't want the reward, and are willing to use this reward in exchange for the opportunity to re-examine the case. I think this is fundamentally unreasonable. Even if the two are the best in history, what contributions have they made to the country? Asking for merit when they have not made any contribution, this is hard to convince people!"

The prince's lips moved slightly, but he didn't say anything in the end.

The credit originally belonged to him, but he had already said that it was "his job", and then took the opportunity to ask for rewards on behalf of the two geniuses.

But now that things have turned out like this, if he jumps out again and says that this is my credit, I would like to exchange this credit for something.

This becomes an attempt to seek reward by taking advantage of one's achievements, which is a different nature.

The prince understood the emperor, and he knew that this was what he hated most!
The emperor was lenient to his subjects but strict with his own children.

To put it in one sentence, it means "You can only take what I give you. If I don't give it to you, you can't snatch it"!
"In addition, Li Fei feels that the results of the Feng Province investigation team were wrong. He does not believe it, and he does not accept the final judgment of the Central Cabinet. So, even if the case is re-examined and someone else is in charge of the investigation, if the same result is found in the end, will he be convinced?"

Duan Qi raised a new question.

This is indeed a problem.

If the case is retried and the final result is the same, will Li Fei be convinced?
I don’t think so.

Doesn't this mean that the case must be presented according to the result that Li Fei wants in order to convince him?
These words are even more heartbreaking than what the eldest prince said before!
After glancing at the silent prince, the emperor looked at Duan Qi:
"So what do you suggest?"

Duan Qi obviously had an idea in mind, and said without hesitation:
"I think that if you really want to exchange your merit for something, you should at least have merit first! And if you want Li Fei to be completely convinced, I'm afraid you have to let him personally participate in the entire process of investigating the case.

In this case, I have a suggestion. Not long ago, the Daluo Sect lost the longevity pill prepared for Your Majesty. Why not let Li Fei investigate the case first? First, if he can really find the pill for Your Majesty, he will be rewarded. He can use this merit to exchange for the qualification to personally investigate Shangguan Xiao's case.

Secondly, the case of the missing pills has troubled the colleagues in Zhige Pavilion for many days. If Li Fei can investigate this case, it will prove his ability. If he is asked to investigate Shangguan Xiao's case, everyone will be convinced. "

After hearing this suggestion, many ministers present took a deep breath and secretly lamented that Duan Qi's methods were very ruthless!

The case of the missing elixir of Daluo Sect has been going on for some time, but the Zhige Pavilion in charge of the case has never come up with a specific plan.

The reason is simple: it’s too tricky!
When it comes to the Taoist ancestral temple, even though the Zhige Pavilion claims to "subdue all the major sects in the world and stop the disputes among martial artists in the martial arts world," they still dare not act recklessly.

After all, there is a contemporary True Lord and a Martial Saint sitting in the Daluo Sect!
Moreover, with this incident as the lead, the Pudu Temple has been involved, and now there is the matter of the Buddhists refining evil weapons for the Dalan Dynasty. This vortex is getting bigger and bigger, and there is no way to know how many powerful relationships are involved!

So the bigwigs in Zhige Pavilion have lost a lot of hair recently because of this case.

Now Duan Qi actually wants to push this case to Li Fei to investigate, which is simply making it clear that he wants Li Fei to die!

Many people present realized that Duan Qi must be from the Canglin Lu Family, otherwise he would not be so cruel.

If Li Fei didn't dare to accept it, then naturally he would forget about it. Even if he really made some contributions in the future, it would be difficult for him to talk about retrial of the case.

If Li Fei takes it, then needless to say, Duan Qi is not worried at all that Li Fei can find the elixir back, because this thing was lost in Daluo Sect!
The ancestral temple of Taoism is home to countless masters, even true sovereigns and martial saints.

Who dares to steal the elixir here? And the elixir they steal is for the emperor?

Even if they dare to steal, looking around the world, how many people have the ability to steal the elixir?
So the more Li Fei wanted to find out the truth, the more he was seeking death!

Duan Qi's move was to solve a major problem for the Canglin Lu Family in advance, and at the same time to get rid of a hot potato for the Zhige Pavilion, which could be said to kill two birds with one stone.

The prince became furious!

He turned around abruptly and looked at Duan Qi fiercely:
"Li Fei has never had any relevant experience before. How can we allow him to directly participate in the investigation?"

Duan Qi seemed not to feel the prince's gaze and replied calmly:
"The case file of Shangguan Xiao also recorded Li Fei's personal information. I saw that in addition to being a student of Wu'an University, he also had another identity, that of a secret inspector of the Datong Prefecture Supervisory Office, with authority equivalent to that of a level 9 official.

How could he be appointed as a secret inspector with the authority of level 9 without any experience in investigating cases? This peerless genius must have some expertise in this area!"

The prince was startled.

When he was looking at the information related to Li Fei, it also wrote about Li Fei's identity as a secret inspector.

But compared with Li Fei's talent of being the best in history and his Dao Foundation Stage, this secret inspector with level 9 authority is not worth mentioning at all.

He didn't expect that Duan Qi would use this identity as a pretext.

The prince looked at Li Fei with a stern look and shook his head.

At this point, Li Fei can only refuse this matter himself.

On the throne, the emperor remained expressionless after listening to Duan Qi's suggestion.

He looked at Li Fei, who also had a blank expression on his face:

"I didn't expect you to be my subject. In that case, Li Fei, are you willing to help me find this longevity elixir?"

"Father!"

The prince was about to speak upon hearing this.

But the emperor shut him up with just one look.

Silent as a cicada!

Under the emperor's gaze, Li Fei bowed slowly:
"I, your humble servant, am willing to take on this mission!"

At 11:03 am, today's court meeting ended and the court was adjourned.

A group of ministers filed out of the Zhenglan Palace.

A moment later, the prince, Li Fei and Ming Qi walked out of the hall together.

"Just now in the temple, thank you Master for speaking up for me."

After Li Fei walked out of the hall, he bowed to Ming Qi sincerely to express his gratitude.

Compared to the prince's attempt to win him over, Mingqi's help seemed very pure.

It is also very precious.

"Amitabha."

Mingqi helped Li Fei up and showed a pure smile:
"I am moved by the affection between Mr. Li and your master. If your master has really been wronged, I sincerely hope you can clear his name!"

"Thank you, Master. Li Fei will keep it in mind."

Li Fei and Ming Qi looked at each other and said so.

"Hey."

The prince at the side sighed, "Li Fei, you are too impulsive! Do you know how complicated this longevity pill case is? This is not something you can control!"

Li Fei turned around and saluted the prince:
"Thank you for your kindness, Your Highness. I still want to try it."

Of course he knew how dangerous the case of investigating the longevity pill was, but he took the case without hesitation.

Because even if one day his strength is enough to kill Xu Jing and destroy the entire Lu family.

But unless he can overthrow the entire Da Lan Dynasty, he will never be able to overturn Shangguan Xiao's case and clear Hao Yi's name.

Both of them will always bear the stigma.

In addition, there is another important reason, which is because of his dream.

This dream was both the opportunity and motivation for him to investigate the case.

Because it is very likely that he has been involved in this incident. Rather than passively waiting for things to slowly ferment, he will eventually lose the initiative completely.

It is better to take the initiative to understand and gain more favorable bargaining chips for yourself!
Many ministers who walked out of the hall saw this scene and had different expressions. They looked at Li Fei with complicated eyes.

Li Fei took over the case of the missing longevity pill at the court meeting. The emperor promised to give him a chance and asked him to go to Daluo Sect to investigate the case thoroughly.

In other words, Li Fei can now be considered an imperial envoy.

In any case, the 18-year-old imperial commissioner, Li Fei, broke another historical record and added another "first in history" to his title!
Asking for monthly ticket
