Women dressed as men: powerful officials

Chapter 184 Happy cooperation

After Sun Wenjie finished exchanging greetings with the bailiff and was about to enter the Dali Temple, he heard someone calling him from behind.

Sun Wenjie turned around and his eyes fell accurately on the young man walking towards him.

People all around were buying and selling New Year goods, all dressed in festive attire, but he was the only one, dressed in white, walking slowly and leisurely, clearly from a different world from those around him.

You can see it at a glance.

And the man looked familiar, but he couldn't remember where he had seen him.

Xu Yuan saw Sun Wenjie stopped and didn't speak, so he took the initiative to introduce himself: "Sir Sun, I'm Xu Yuan, do you remember?"

Fearing that Sun Wenjie had forgotten, Xu Yuan added, "The person who previously submitted the Song family case."

"It's you. I was wondering why you looked so familiar."

Sun Wenjie remembered. He limped to Xu Yuan's side, patted his leg and said, "Not only do I remember, my leg remembers too."

Broken bones for a hundred days.

He has only been recuperating at home for a month.

No matter who you forget, you must not forget to make a wish.

Make a wish and it’s clear.

Sun Wenjie was the one who was implicated.

If Beiyao had not led her away from Putuo Temple that day, her fate would probably have been even worse than Sun Wenjie's.

Thinking of this, Xu Yuan said, "Every wrong has its perpetrator, and Lord Sun should know what is going on."

"you……"

Sun Wenjie's words gradually faded away when he saw Xu Yuan's frank eyes.

He waved his hand and said, "Forget it. You are right. This matter really has little to do with you."

After saying that, Sun Wenjie turned and left.

Xu Yuan immediately followed and asked in a low voice: "Master Sun, don't you want to take revenge?"

Hearing this, Sun Wenjie smiled and asked, "How can I, a small official of the Dali Temple, fight?"

After saying this, fearing that Xu Yuan would not understand, Sun Wenjie repeated, "It is the Dali Temple Shaoqing, not the Dali Temple Qing."

The Song family holds military power.

In the court, only the prime minister and the chief censor can exercise checks and balances.

But in recent years, Geshu has frequently harassed Tianqi, and the status of military generals has risen unknowingly.

The prime minister remained neutral, the chief censor fawned on the powerful, and the Song family was the dominant force.

Doesn’t the emperor want to take action against the Song family?

miss you.

But he has no name.

Without a reputation, I can only give up.

Just like the previous vow to sue, Sun Wenjie had already found out everything.

Even if the emperor ordered a thorough investigation, the result reported by the Dali Temple was: a thief broke into the Sishui County School and it had nothing to do with the Song family.

No one from the Song family had ever been to Sishui County.

Now, the matter has been set in stone. Otherwise, Sun Wenjie would have stayed at home to rest and hide for a while.

"Of course I know." Xu Yuan nodded, still following Sun Wenjie, and repeated: "I have a way."

"You have a way. Aren't you also forced to go to Wenhua Palace and can't even enter?"

Sun Wenjie smiled and pointed at the tip of his nose and said, "I was ranked third in the national exam and entered the Hanlin Academy. Apart from other things, I think I am better than you in terms of knowledge and ability to be an official."

The wish slowly came to a halt.

She watched Sun Wenjie walk further and further away, and finally asked, "Are you willing to live like this for the rest of your life?"

Sun Wenjie didn't look back, but his hands at his sides were clenched into fists.

After a long while, he laughed.

My tense shoulders relaxed, as if a heavy burden had been lifted off my shoulders.

He continued walking, a smile on his face, ignoring the wish.

Xu Yuan chased after him for a step or two, and then said, "The Sun Wenjie I know is not like you. Your legs are broken, but is your spine broken too?"

The words of the wish were like sharp knives piercing Sun Wenjie's heart.

Once upon a time, he also wanted to be an upright person.

But reality told him that since he had entered officialdom, he should no longer have those childish mentality.

The capital city is a battlefield without the smoke of gunpowder.

"Sun Wenjie, I won't come to you a second time. I can help you, and I can help others. I don't need you."

After making the wish, he did not leave in a hurry, but kept looking at Sun Wenjie's trembling back.

She added, "That day, the person you wanted to see also went to Putuo Temple. If you were more capable and faster, perhaps today would not be the same."

Sun Wenjie slowly turned around and said, "Your rhetoric is very powerful, but getting something for nothing won't work on me."

Sun Wenjie has seen too many people like this who talk nonsense.

Just like the previous case, there were two groups of people and more than a dozen mouths, and everyone said, "My Lord, you must believe me."

Everyone feels innocent.

But no one is innocent.

Talking is the easiest thing.

"I have what you want, but I don't know if you dare to accept it."

"How dare you not?"

Hearing this, Xu Yuan turned around and said, "Let's talk somewhere else."

Same teahouse, same location.

The difference was that Xu Yuan sat down first, and Sun Wenjie took a look outside and saw that there was no ambush, then he slowly walked in and sat down.

Seeing this, Xu Yuan said directly: "If I wanted to harm you, you would have died ten thousand times already."

"I am the Junior Minister of the Dali Temple. How can I be afraid of you?"

"He is the Junior Minister of the Dali Temple, not the Minister of the Dali Temple."

Xu Yuan repeated what Sun Wenjie had said before.

Sun Wenjie was holding a cup of tea and couldn't help choking when he heard this. "You are a person who always brings up things that are not relevant to the topic."

Xu Yuan didn't respond to this. He just took out a letter from his sleeve, handed it to Sun Wenjie and said, "Take a look?"

"what?"

"What you want."

Sun Wenjie took the envelope. He had a nonchalant look on his face at first, but when he saw the contents of the letter, he became more and more serious.

Until he finished reading the first page and was about to get the second page.

Xuyuan reached out and pressed the envelope.

Sun Wenjie said: "It's all out, why hide it anymore?"

"I just wanted to tell you that I do have these things."

Xu Yuan did not even think about taking the letter back, but just said: "The current Dali Temple Minister is the most capable subordinate of the Imperial Censor. Lord Sun, if we want to cooperate, you have to let me see your value."

"What do you mean?"

"Three months, Dali Temple." Xu Yuan looked at Sun Wenjie with clear eyes, "Can you do it?"

"Official transfers are all decided by the emperor. Not only does the emperor need to decide, but the three ministers also need to discuss it. Do you think that Censor Wei will be willing to let me sit in that position?"

Sun Wenjie asked back.

Xu Yuan said: "As long as the handle in his hand is strong enough, do you think Wei Chenyi will choose to sacrifice the pawn to save the horse?"

Sun Wenjie stopped talking.

He couldn't help but look at the letter.

Xu Yuan was right. As long as the evidence was strong enough, Wei Chenyi would definitely abandon the position of the Chief Justice.

But in the same way, if he used this to threaten Wei Chenyi, or if someone else threatened Wei Chenyi to make him the Minister of Dali Temple, Wei Chenyi would become suspicious.

Whether he did it or not, he would be the target of Wei Chen's revenge.

Xuyuan was not in a hurry and just looked at Sun Wenjie quietly.

When the sound of the carriage came in, Sun Wenjie said, "If you are sure, I am sure, but after the matter is done, Wei Chenyi cannot stay."

Hearing Sun Wenjie's words, Xu Yuan was stunned, "You think a lot more than I thought."

"What's your answer?"

Xu Yuan didn't say anything, just said: "It's a pleasure to work with you."
