Li Jianbi withdrew his hand, seeing him lying on the bed with his butt exposed and tears streaming down his face, he hated iron for being weak in his heart, and really wanted to slap Fan An again.

"Master Li, your clothes are all soaked..." Fan An looked up at him and said, "Be careful not to catch cold, change your clothes quickly." He wiped his face and was about to call the servant outside the door to come in , opened his mouth but was held by Li Jianbi's hand.

"No need. I came today to give you something." He said, putting the sandalwood gold lock box on his lap next to Fan An's pillow, and with his hands on the box, he asked, "Do you know what this is?" ?”

"Is it a silver... a bank note?" Fan An stared at the box blankly, and said with embarrassment, "Master Li, what do you want my servant to do for you, just give me an order, there is no need to do this..." Before he finished speaking, Li Jianbi slapped his head abruptly, but he heard him curse: "You bastard! Besides thinking about men, sons, and money all day long, do you still pretend to be other things?!"

Fan An was dumbfounded by his scolding, and wished he could stand up and plead guilty immediately.He blushed at a loss, and heard Li Jianbi say something, which almost made him roll off the bed in fright.

Li Jianbi said: "It contains evidence of corruption and dereliction of duty by Liang Yenian, the chief assistant of the dynasty, the account statement and the pledge. Holding this is equivalent to holding half of Liang Yenian's life."

Fan An was stunned for a while, then subconsciously moved when he understood. He looked at the box like a hot potato and said, "This... such an important thing, please put it away, Mr. Li!"

"I've kept this thing for more than ten years, and now I'm afraid I won't be able to keep it, so I'm going to hand it over to you." Li Jianbi said, "As the Secretary of the Ministry of Punishment, you should take care of these things. "

"Master Li, what are you talking about?" Since you have collected these criminal evidences for ten years, you must have spent a lot of effort, and they must be prepared for the impeachment of Liang Yenian one day. , There is no loss if you don't succeed, but why do you suddenly want to involve me?Fan An panicked, "I am a third-rank minister, how can I have the courage to point out the right and wrong of the chief minister of the cabinet." He didn't ask for much in his life, he just wanted to live a stable life.

Yeah, he just doesn't do much.

He knew that Liang Yenian was not a good official. This man covered the sky with one hand in the cabinet. He wrote down all the corruption and bribery.He has been in the court for a year, and he has seen Liang Yenian's methods of rectifying people. Many officials in the court, as long as Liang Yenian says a word, they don't need the emperor's instructions, and they don't need the Ministry of Punishment to intervene. They will be dismissed, demoted or even imprisoned.

But so what?This person has held the power of the Chief Assistant for nearly 20 years. Liang's party's cronies are spread all over the court, and several of the concubines Pang next to the emperor's pillow are Lord Liang's "righteous sisters".Looking at the whole court, only Li Jianbi, a family of officials and ministers, can contend with it, but so what, these two have been fighting for nearly ten years, hasn't Liang Yenian been brought down?

How can he, Fan An He De, make Li Jianbi feel that he has the ability to sue Liang Yenian?He has neither power nor courage, if he opposes Mr. Liang, wouldn't he be sent to death?

That's right, Li Jian Bizhujun Xuesong, Daxuan is lucky to have this person. Although he, Fan An, yearns for it, but in the end, he just admires him from a distance with an attitude of looking up. What kind of guy is he himself? Fan An was very clear in his heart.

Seeing that he didn't speak, Li Jianbi smiled again and said: "You have been in office for nearly a year, and I have seen everything you do. You are thoughtful and smart. It is rare that you understand the world. You are tolerant and can do anything. Forbearance, given time, you will surely become a great talent." Li Jianbi said, "Your eyes should not only be placed in the square inch of the Ministry of Punishment."

"Sir Li, don't say any more. Your Excellency thinks highly of me! But..." Fan An interrupted him, grabbed the corner of the bed with his hands, lowered his head and blushed, and said, "To be honest, I don't dare to talk to Mr. Liang. Be right!" At this point, he straightened it out and said, "I still have two sons to rely on me, and I want to be safe as an official. I'm sorry for the blue eyes of the lord, and I'm sorry for the emperor's grace. I've already made up my mind. Now, when I recover from my injury, I will resign."

"You...you trash!" Li Jianbi stood up abruptly. He was so anxious that he wanted to grab Fan An's lapel, but he couldn't resist the suffocation in his heart, and he couldn't stand still.Seeing his pale face, Fan An hurriedly called out, "Lord Li!"

Li Jianbi pressed his hands against the edge of the bed and closed his eyes. He remained silent for a while, forcing himself to calm down, and when he calmed down, he slowly sat back on the chair next to him.

Fan An saw him sitting with his eyes closed, his right hand clutching his chest, his brows were furrowed, wondering if he was in pain.He felt very guilty and wanted to reach out to touch him, but he stretched out his hand to Guan Kong but retracted it.

"Master Li..." Fan An called him softly.

Li Jianbi slowly opened his eyes, but he no longer looked at Fan An. "I know, I won't force you. You are greedy for life and afraid of death..." Li Jianbi suddenly laughed, "But there is nothing wrong with being greedy for life and afraid of death... In life, who can treat life as a child's play. You have concerns , there is reluctance, human nature, I understand. I don't blame you."

Fan An was wrenched by his few words, but he hoped that this person would scold him severely.

"You must think that I want to drag you into the water and kill you, right? Knowing that you are not Liang Yenian's opponent, I insist on pulling you against him..." Li Jibi sighed, his voice sounded quite tired, "But ... I really have no one to rely on... If I hadn't been desperate, how could I have come to you."

Fan An looked at him in surprise. "Master Li, why did you say that? You have 27 officials above the fifth rank in Lantai. There are countless officials and talents. How can you not find a reliable person?" With a great reputation, why do you need to rely on others?"

"Great reputation? Talented people?" Li Jianbi said, "If I die one day, none of the hundreds of officials in Lantai, big and small, can be an opponent of Liang Yenian. The Jingcha, which is held once every three years, has a big hand. With a wave, I can change the blood of all the officials under me at once."

Li Jianbi closed his eyes, smiled for a long time and said: "The storm is about to come, I am the only one on stage."

At this time, Fan An still couldn't understand the helplessness in Li Jianbi's heart.Many years later, thinking of this night, he hated himself for being cowardly and incompetent, for not standing up to give Li Jianbi a hand at that time.

Fortunately, he was naturally soft-hearted, and facing Li Jianbi like this, he mustered up his courage and said: "If your lord really has no place to put this box, or... just entrust it to my Ministry of Punishment. I... I will put it in here." It's a bank note."

Li Jianbi turned his head and glanced at him, the corners of his mouth were slightly curved, and he smiled as if he was relieved.He stood up and took two steps, and stood a foot in front of Fan An's bed.Fan An didn't know what he wanted to do, but when he was wondering, he lifted his robe and knelt down.

"Student Li Jianbi, thank you, Mr. Fan." He stood up, glanced at Fan An again, turned and opened the door and left.

Fan An opened his mouth, and only recovered after counting.He yelled, and Yuanzhu from outside the door ran in and asked what was wrong.Fan An was stunned for a moment, and said that you sent someone to Li's mansion to watch.

Yuanzhu glanced outside the door, and said that it was raining again in the middle of the night, why did your lord ask someone to watch Li's house?

Fan An said: "My heart is ominous, I'm afraid something will happen tonight, you just go and watch."

Seeing his unprecedented seriousness and anxiety, Wuzhu knew it was not a joke, so she responded and hurried off.
