I am a corrupt official, but they say I am a loyal minister

"I'll just say it!" Li Shishi gave a sigh of relief secretly.

"Usually I can't even afford meat, let alone wine! It's also because I'm an official now that I have a salary, so I can eat better! In addition, you are here, so I eat extravagantly today!" Lin Beifan laugh.

Seeing Lin Beifan's clean and innocent smile, Li Shishi was in a trance.

At this time, Dali, who was eating meat, nodded and said vaguely: "Yes, I used to depend on each other with the young master, and I was used to living a hard life. It would be good to eat meat once a month! Where is it like now, there are meals Eat meat! It’s the first time that it’s as rich as it is today! So I said, there is still a future in reading! Hehe!”

Li Shishi became even more in a trance.

If it is still possible for Lin Beifan to lie, then Dali is unlikely.Because this person is naive and stunned at first sight, he can't hide anything, and he can't act so real.

Li Shishi was lost in thought. He had a bad life before, and it was understandable that he almost ate.

But now, you have been greedy for so much money, why is it still the same?

Where did you spend all the money you got from greed? .

Chapter 21 My lord, who the hell are you?

Lin Beifan scolded with a smile: "Dali, as the saying goes: don't talk when you eat and don't talk when you sleep! You are busy eating now, so don't talk! Eat more, you will have the strength to work, you know?"

"Okay, young master!" Dali replied happily.

"And Xiaocui, don't be polite to me!" Lin Beifan said again.

"Yes, my lord!" Xiao Cui laughed.

Then, Lin Beifan said to the beautiful Li Shishi in front of him: "The hospitality is not good, it is not as good as Baihuafang, I hope you don't dislike it!"

Li Shishi smiled, like a hundred flowers blooming: "My lord is joking! You entertain me with the best things, and the little girl is too late to be happy, how can you dislike me?"

Li Shishi picked up the bowls and chopsticks, picked up a piece of chicken for Lin Beifan, and said with a smile, "My lord, let's eat together!"

Lin Beifan nodded and smiled: "Okay, let's eat together!"

The two moved their chopsticks at the same time.

Lin Beifan ate at a normal speed, but Li Shishi ate slowly.

She found that although the taste of this dish was not as good as that of Baihuafang, it had an extra "human taste", which whetted her appetite and ate a few more mouthfuls than usual.

There was no nightlife in ancient times, and after dinner, people were ready to rest if they had nothing to do.

The same is true of Li Shishi. After eating, he returned to the room and prepared to go to bed.

However, thinking back on everything that happened today, it still feels like falling into a dream.

It turned out that he was still a nobleman in Baihuafang, but he suddenly redeemed himself, and went back with a strange man whom he only saw once.

I thought I jumped into an abyss, and from now on I would be with the corrupt officials I hate the most.

After entering, I found that things seemed to be a little off.

The other party lived a very poor life, did not spend money on enjoyment, did not hire someone to take care of him, food and drink were very common things, and he did not see any valuables, and he did not look like a corrupt official at all.

Moreover, after getting along with her, Lin Beifan gave her a good feeling.

The smile is clean, the eyes are pure, not as glib and lewd as the people I saw in the brothel before, and I don't have the bureaucratic tone of an official, and I see people with equal eyes.

He respected her a lot and didn't look down on her because of her origin.

It made her very comfortable to get along with, and a little nostalgic.

Thinking about it, she had some insomnia.

"My lord, who are you?"

At this time, in the palace.

After the empress finished approving the memorial, she couldn't help but look out the window and found that it was already dark.

"Your Majesty, please use tea!" An old eunuch came over with a cup of hot tea.

"Okay!" The empress nodded, stood up and stretched her body a little, then sat down again, and asked while drinking tea: "What's new in the capital recently? Tell me!"

As an emperor, he was busy with business and couldn't go out of the palace often.

So when she is free, she wants to listen to the situation outside, to relieve her loneliness and depression.

This feels a bit like making headlines for later generations.

"Return to Your Majesty, an interesting incident happened today, it's about Lin Beifan, the new champion!" The old eunuch laughed.

"About Lin Beifan?" The empress was taken aback: "What is this guy doing, tell me in detail!"

"Yes, Your Majesty!" The old eunuch explained the matter.

After listening to this, the Empress couldn't help shaking her head and laughing: "Well, you Lin Beifan! I approve you as a fake, not to rest at home, but you have the mind to go to a brothel! Go to a brothel and take home the number one oiran in the capital! Talented man Merry! Even the champion of the new discipline that I am optimistic about is not exempt from vulgarity!"

"Yes, Your Majesty!" The old eunuch couldn't help but said with a smile: "It is said that Lin Zhuangyuan was not willing at that time, but Li Shishi was still determined to follow Lin Zhuangyuan, and he did not hesitate to pay for his own redemption, which made countless men jealous and scolded, and got drunk late at night. ! There is also a poem left behind, which is popular all over the city and makes countless women lose sleep!"

"Oh? What poem did he leave behind to cause such a big commotion?" the empress was curious.

The old eunuch, who had been prepared for a long time, read the poems.

The empress remembered it after listening to it once, and read it out herself: "Going up to the brothel alone, the moon is like a hook, and the lonely sycamore locks the autumn in the middle of the night! The cutting is constant, and the arrangement is still chaotic. It's parting sorrow, don't feel it...a taste In my heart! It is indeed a good poem, with just a few lines, it portrays the mournful image of a brothel woman, and it will surely be passed down through the ages! It is worthy of being the number one scholar in the new department!"

"Your Majesty said so!" The old eunuch bowed his head in response.

"However, this woman Li Shishi...what is the purpose of approaching Lin Beifan?" The empress frowned.

You know, although Li Shishi is a young man, but he was born in a brothel with mixed fish and dragons, and he can become the number one oiran in the capital. He is definitely not a simple person.

How could such a woman fall in love with Lin Beifan at first sight after seeing many talented and knight-errants of all kinds?

And follow Lin Beifan at all costs?

Among them, there must be an ulterior purpose!

And Lin Beifan was someone she valued very much, and she placed high hopes on him, if something happened to him, it would be over!

"Let me thoroughly investigate Li Shishi and her purpose of approaching Lin Beifan!"

"Yes, Your Majesty!".

Chapter 22 Is He Really a Corrupt Official?

It is very simple for the emperor to investigate an ordinary person.

In less than an hour, all the information about Li Shishi was gathered in the hands of the empress.

"Master Li, at the age of twenty, a gentleman in Baihuafang!"

"The appearance is exquisite and beautiful, and he is proficient in all kinds of piano, chess, calligraphy and painting. He is known as the number one oiran in the capital!"

"She was originally the daughter of the guilty minister Li Guangyao..."

……

After reading it, the Empress nodded, "It turned out that Lin Beifan was chosen to get rid of the entanglement of Gao Tianyu, the son of the Minister of the Ministry of Officials! After all, the champion of the new department is much better than the ignorant second-generation ancestor!"

The empress put down the information and sighed: "This is also a helpless means of self-protection for brothel women! Born in a brothel, the status is low, and only by finding a good backer can you keep your innocence!"

"However, this woman has a good vision, and she has chosen the number one scholar whom even I am optimistic about! Tsk tsk! In her life, she is considered extremely lucky, good luck!"

"Your Majesty, how should we deal with Li Shishi?" the old eunuch asked.

The empress pondered for a moment, and said: "Observe for a while, if there is no problem, forget it!"

"Yes, Your Majesty!" The old eunuch bowed his head respectfully, glanced at the empress' expression secretly, and said cautiously: "The number one scholar may have a grudge against Gao Tianyu, the son of the Minister of the Ministry of Officials, because of this Li Shishi! Do we need..."

Hearing the words "Gao Tianyu", the Empress showed deep disgust on her face.

To tell the truth, she is extremely disgusted with these ignorant and incompetent yamen who rely on their father's power to act like a tiger and act recklessly.

It's fine if you don't have the skills, but you still mess around with me, it's simply unreasonable!

It's just that although these yamen did evil things, they didn't commit any major crimes.

Don't make big mistakes, but keep making small mistakes. It's really hard for her, the emperor, to step over their parents' generation and deal with these little bastards!

The empress waved her hand: "Don't worry about anything, leave it to Zhuangyuan Lang! If you can't even clean up the small yamen, how can you take on the heavy responsibility?"

"Yes, Your Majesty!" The old eunuch bowed his head.

The night passed quickly.

On the second day, Li Shishi woke up very early, and because he didn't sleep well last night, he looked a little sleepy.Originally, I wanted to meet Lin Beifan according to the etiquette, but found that the other party had already gone to the building.

Looking at Dali who was sweeping the floor, he called out, "Dali!"

He bowed his head vigorously and said respectfully: "Young Mistress, what can I order?"

Li Shishi asked: "Where is your lord? Why don't you see him?"

Dali replied without hesitation: "Young Mistress, the Young Master has gone out to play!"

"Going out to play?" Li Shishi was dumbfounded.

"Yes! The young master said that His Majesty the Empress only granted him a three-day vacation. If you don't hurry up to play now, you will have no chance in the future! So, go out early!" Dali laughed.

After Li Shishi listened to Dali's words, for some reason, he suddenly had the urge to laugh.

Have a good vacation, not ready to deal with the upcoming work, but want to go out to play?

Isn't this just like the innocent children in the school?

please!You are the number one scholar in the new department, an official appointed by the imperial court, and a celebrity around the empress. Shouldn't you work conscientiously and conscientiously to serve the imperial court?

Why do you still want to play?

This contrast is too great!

The sleepiness on his face suddenly disappeared!

She became more and more curious about Lin Beifan, so she beckoned: "Dali, come here! Can you tell me about your past experience, sir? What kind of person is he?"

"Okay, I'll just say it! If I want to talk about my young master, I can't finish talking for three days and three nights..." Dali continued.

After listening, Li Shishi was even more confused.

In Dali's mind, Lin Beifan is a scholar who is approachable, firm-willed, indifferent to fame and fortune, not greedy for enjoyment, not greedy for wealth and honor, and is his role model in life.

However, it was rumored that he was greedy, and he was greedy for a huge amount of wealth within a few days of becoming an official.

A young man who is indifferent to fame and fortune, and a greedy man who everyone hates, the contrast between the two is too great!

It is impossible to appear on the same person!

But what she saw now was closer to the image in Dali's mind.

Master Li thought for a long time, but couldn't figure out why.

Finally, it turned into a sigh: "My lord, what kind of person are you!"

She became more and more curious about Lin Beifan.

There is a tendency to get caught in it.

Two days passed quickly.

Li Shishi lived here for two days. Although the days were ordinary, he was very practical. He was no longer as frightened as before, afraid that someone would suddenly break in at night.

He usually plays the piano and helps Lin Beifan with some housework.

Take care of the yard in your spare time to make the environment more beautiful.

At the same time, the relationship with Lin Beifan has developed rapidly, and seeing Lin Beifan is not so unnatural.

But Lin Beifan found that it was really different with an extra woman in the family.Many problems that were ignored by them were taken care of by Li Shishi in an orderly manner.

And on this day, Lin Beifan put on his official uniform again and went to court.

Chapter 23 Failure to pay is not considered prostitution, at most it is considered sexual gratification!

"Meet Your Majesty, long live my emperor, long live, long live!"
