Chapter 210 Taking advantage of the situation
Chapter 210 Taking advantage of the situation
The Dali Temple Minister's face fell, and the debt collector came again.
He waved his hand and said, "Just tell him that I'm busy investigating the case and don't have time to see him. If there is any new progress in the case, I will send someone to inform him."
"Yes." The guard took the order and left.
The Right Junior Minister turned to look at the Grand Justice, "Sir, the Marquis of Loyalty and Bravery's mansion sends people to inquire every day. If no results are found, I'm afraid the Marquis of Loyalty and Bravery will come to ask in person."
"Hurry, hurry, hurry, you just keep urging me! Doesn't this officer want to find out the murderer as soon as possible? He is so capable, why doesn't he come and investigate it himself?!" The Chief Justice of the Dali Temple was irritable. He reached out to pick up the Qingxin tea on the table and drank a cup in one breath.
The Left Shaoqing and the Right Shaoqing looked at each other and gave the same bitter smile.
"Someone come here!" The Dali Temple Minister placed the teacup on the table.
The guards ran in upon hearing the noise, "What do you want, sir?"
The Dali Temple official said, "Take my name card to Shuntian Prefecture to invite Lord Dong. Tell him that I am hosting a banquet at Hongyun Tower tonight and have important matters to discuss. Please spare some time to meet with me."
"only."
*
The sky was dyed with ink.
Inside the private room, the Dali Temple Minister ordered the waiter, "Bring me the jar of Songjian Snow that I treasure."
The waiter responded, went to get the wine, and came back after a while.
The Dali Temple Minister waved his hand and told the waiter to leave, and the servants in the room also left, leaving only him and Dong Yi.
He personally filled Dong Yi's glass with wine and said earnestly, "Come, taste this wine."
Dong Yi did not move, looking at him with a half-smile: "This Songjian Snow only takes ten years to get a jar, you have kept it like a treasure for so long, you yourself are reluctant to drink it, but today you are willing to take it out and treat me to a drink, tell me, what do you want me to do for you?"
He got straight to the point, and the Dali Temple Minister did not hide anything: "You know exactly why I've been worried lately. I'll offer you some good wine, and even take the jar away. Please quickly think of a way for me to resolve this matter."
Having investigated many cases together, Dong Yi knew his abilities best. Seeing him frowning and sighing, he could not help but wonder, "Is it really so difficult that you have no solution at all?"
The Dali Temple official glared at him resentfully: "I even took out the pine brook snow, what do you think?"
For a man obsessed with wine, this is a very convincing statement.
Dong Yi picked up the wine glass and said, "Tell me how the case is going."
When the Dali Temple Minister was mentioned, he started to complain. While picking food for Dong Yi, he said, "This case..."
The wine in the glass was finished and the Dali Temple Minister finished his speech.
He looked at the empty wine glass in Dong Yi's hand and said with a pain in his heart, "There are only three days left. If we can't find out, not only will it be difficult for your Majesty, but also for Prince Li to pass the test."
Dong Yi pondered for a moment, then smiled and put the wine glass on the table: "I do have a way, but..."
The Dali Temple Minister immediately said, "If you have any requests, please feel free to ask."
"That's great." Dong Yi pointed to the wine jar, "I remember you have three jars, give me another one, I'll take it back and ask my wife to taste it too."
The Dali Temple official glared and cursed: "You are taking advantage of the situation!"
Dong Yi nodded. He was just taking advantage of the situation to rob. It was impossible to get wine from this guy under normal circumstances. If he missed this opportunity, he would never get it again.
Dali Temple: "..."
mean! Shameless!
Dong Yi picked up the wine jar and filled it with wine, then glanced at him, "Just tell me whether you will give it to me or not. My wife is waiting for me to go back for supper."
The Dali Temple Minister wanted to punch the guy opposite him, and said in frustration: "What method?"
This is a promise.
Dong Yi raised his eyebrows, smiled, and said, "Come here, go to the Jinyiwei and invite Mr. Xie to come for a talk."
The attendant outside the door ran away in response.
Inside the house, the Dali Temple official was surprised: "Why did you invite him here?"
To be fair, he didn't like Xie Hui, a flatterer. "Aren't you in need of new clues?" Dong Yi looked at him and asked, "What does the Jinyiwei do?"
A word of advice awakened the dreamer, and the Dali Temple Minister suddenly realized, why didn't he think of it?
Dong Yi poured him a glass of wine and said, "Actually, Lord Xie is a good person, not as the rumors say."
The Dali Temple official glanced at him and said, "Last time when we were drinking together, you got drunk and scolded Xie Hui for being useless and always disturbing people's sleep in the middle of the night. Have you forgotten that?"
Dong Yi: “…”
When the entourage went to invite someone, Xie Hui happened to be there.
There was nothing else to do, so why not go when someone invited him to dinner? He also wanted to hear what Dong Yi wanted him to do.
After entering the box, Dong Yi stood up first to greet Xie Hui. Xie Hui naturally returned the greeting, and the Dali Temple Minister also stood up to greet him.
After the three of them greeted each other, Xie Hui took a seat.
Dong Yi winked at the Dali Temple Minister, who suppressed his reluctance and personally picked up the wine jar to pour a glass of wine for Xie Hui.
Xie Hui was quite flattered.
The Jinyiwei was given the responsibility of supervising all officials and could report directly to the emperor, and they exposed many things.
Therefore, many civil and military officials disliked Xie Hui and thought he was a treacherous minister. Unfortunately, the Chief Justice of the Dali Temple was one of them.
Although the dislike was not so obvious, Xie Hui could feel that he was not liked by this person.
He looked at the wine in the glass and thought that the wine might not taste good today.
With Dong Yi mediating, the three of them ate, drank and chatted in a harmonious atmosphere.
After three rounds of wine and five dishes, the Dali Temple Minister felt that it was enough and gave Dong Yi a wink.
Dong Yi put down his chopsticks and looked at Xie Hui: "I asked you to come here today because I have something to ask of you."
"I don't deserve it." Xie Hui waved his hand, "We are officials in the same dynasty. If you can use me, Lord Dong, please let me know."
Hearing this, Dong Yi looked at the Dali Temple Minister and said, It's your turn.
Through the conversation just now, the Dali Temple Minister had a different opinion of Xie Hui and was no longer so resistant to asking him for help.
He looked at Xie Hui and said, "I have something I would like to ask for your help, Lord Xie."
Xie Hui smiled and said, "I'd like to hear the details."
The Dali Temple Minister briefly recounted the case and said, "The Jinyiwei has the widest intelligence network. I wonder if the Jinyiwei has any information related to this case?"
Xie Hui remained silent, lowering his eyes in deep thought.
Seeing this, the Dali Temple Minister bowed and said, "Thank you for your help, sir. If you can help with the case, Jiao will reward you handsomely."
"Hey, Lord Jiao, there's no need to be like this. We are all working for the court and His Majesty. If I can help, I will definitely do it."
Hearing this, the Dali Temple Minister was about to thank him, but Xie Hui changed the subject and said, "It's just that I just recalled carefully, and I haven't read the relevant information recently. I'm afraid I can't do anything about it."
The Dali Temple Minister looked at him, and seeing that his expression did not seem fake, he looked at Dong Yi again.
Two jars of Songjianxue, and you hired such a useless guy?
Dong Yi looked innocent. He was only responsible for finding a solution, but he didn't say that this method would definitely work.
The Dali Temple official was speechless. He was just about to end the dinner and go back to the Dali Temple to continue brainstorming when he heard Xie Hui say, "I suddenly remembered an anecdote."
The Dali Temple Chief Justice turned his head and looked at him, his eyes shining like a hungry wolf seeing fresh meat.
Xie Hui swallowed his saliva and decided that there was no need to be so excited.
Dong Yi filled his glass with wine and said, "Thank you, sir, please stop keeping us in suspense. Please speak quickly, considering that I am in a hurry."
Xie Hui picked up the wine glass, looked at the two of them, and whispered: "This anecdote is related to the Loyal and Brave Marquis Mansion."
