Above the stars

"Dean, I am Bandit Tang." Bandit Tang knocked on the door again and shouted.

"Didn't I say that? He's not here." Yan Wenli's hoarse voice came out, and his attitude was very unfriendly.

"Then where is he? Where can I find him?"

"I don't know, just treat him as dead."

boom!

Tang Bandit opened the door to the room and asked with concern: "Dean, are you okay? Do you feel any discomfort in your body?"

"My heart feels very sick."

"It may be a heart disease. I'll take you to the hospital for a checkup. I know the director of the Imperial Maritime Hospital. I must ask him to give you a thorough examination."

"Get lost." Yan Wenli drank all the whiskey in the glass and said angrily, "I'm angry with you."

"Dean, how can you say that? I am here to bring you good news. The case we are investigating is a big one, and if it is solved, it will be a great achievement."

"A great achievement?" Yan Wenli looked at Tang Bandit with gloomy eyes, as if he was weighing whether this guy was really stupid or fake. "Do you know what you are doing? What is wrong with your investigation? Why do you have to get involved in the royal family's family affairs? Is this something we can get involved in?"

"Family affairs of the royal family?" Tang Bandit looked at Yan Wenli with a confused look and asked, "I am investigating Yu Huoshui. Is Yu Huoshui also a member of the royal family?"

Yan Wenli sighed softly and explained aloud: "Yu Huoshui is naturally not a member of the royal family, but he has a close relationship with the second prince. He is trying to subvert # $ political power and humiliate the royal family members. Use your pig brain and think about it carefully, why would Yu Huoshui do such a thing? What interests does he have in it? "

Tang Bandit suddenly understood and said loudly: "He was instructed by the second prince."

"Shut up!" Yan Wenli quickly interrupted Tang Bandit's words.

He stood up and walked to the door, listened quietly, and then locked the door with a click.

Tang Bandit looked horrified and said loudly: "Dean, what are you doing? You don't want to kill someone to silence me, do you? It's useless for you to kill me alone. There are other people who know about this case."

"What's the use of me killing you?" Yan Wenli stared at Tang Gang with a fierce expression and asked in a deep voice: "Who else knows about this case? How many people have seen Yu Huoshui's confession?"

"Vice Captain Shen Yan knows, he is trying this case with me. Confidential Secretary Tan Yu knows, after all, she helped sort out the documents, so they must be these people, right?"

"From now on, I will not allow anyone to have access to this case, let alone check the files related to this case." Yan Wenli said aloud.

"Yes." Tang Bandit responded respectfully: "I will never allow anyone to have access to this case, and all documents and materials will be sealed and stored in the database for me to keep."

This is an order issued by Yan Wenli with the authority of the dean. As a subordinate, he must obey the order immediately.

Otherwise, it would be disobedience and one must bear responsibility.

Yan Wenli could transfer himself to guard the gate of the Overwatch Council with just one word.

After a pause, Tang Bandi looked at Yan Wenli and asked cautiously: "Dean, have I caused trouble?"

"What do you think?"

"I don't want what I think, I want you to think." Tang Bandit said very rudely: "What the dean says is whatever it is."

"You've caused trouble, you've caused big trouble." Yan Wenli said harshly.

"What should we do? Let's just pretend that these things have never happened?" Tang Bandit asked deliberately and tentatively.

"That's inappropriate." Yan Wenli shook his head and said, "If you hadn't investigated it, we could pretend that nothing had happened. But now that you have investigated it and created a document, it's unreasonable to pretend that it never happened. .”

"If something happens in the future, we won't be able to escape involvement if we don't report it."

"Then report it?"

"If you report this, what will the royal family think? What will the head of the country think? Will they think that the Overwatch Council has lined up with the eldest prince and is helping him eliminate his opponents?"

"It's impossible not to retaliate, and it's impossible to retaliate. What should we do?" Tang Bandit looked embarrassed.

I thought to myself, if it wasn't embarrassing, I wouldn't come to you.

If the sky is falling, someone needs to be tall to hold it up.

When things get serious, those with greater authority will naturally take the responsibility.

He has thin arms and legs and cannot bear such a big sin.

"You ask me, who should I ask?" Yan Wenli said angrily: "People outside call me a 'mad dog', but I know who can bite and who can't bite. Now it seems that you are crazier than me." Whoever you catch and bites should be given the nickname of this mad dog. "

"Yes, yes, the dean is right." Tang Bandit agreed repeatedly.

At this time, you have to listen to whatever the dean says.

"Come on, follow me into the palace."

Tang Bandit looked at Yan Wenli pretending to be "surprised" and said, "Dean, didn't you say you can't report it?"

"If you report it, it's a matter of attitude. But if you don't report it, it's a matter of loyalty."

Yan Wenli poured himself another glass of whiskey, drank it all in one gulp, grabbed the hat on the table and walked outside.

"Young man, I'll give you a piece of advice. Don't let your superiors doubt your loyalty at any time."

"Yes, yes, that's what I thought." Tang Bandit nodded repeatedly: "When I found out these things, I was also scared. But I thought, I can't deceive the dean. The dean treated me with great kindness. , if I even deceive you, am I still a human being?"

"Get lost."

"Dean, please slow down, I'll open the door for you."

——

Phoenix Palace.

Zhong Daolong was reading the case files brought by the Tang bandits, while Yan Wenli was sitting there pouring himself wine.

Tang Bandit stood upright in front of them, his eyes were on his nose, his nose was on his heart, his attitude was humble and respectful.

Soon, Zhong Daolong finished reading the information in his hand, raised his head, looked at Tang Bandit meaningfully, and asked: "Are you in charge of this case?"

"Yes." Tang Bandit bowed and replied: "When I was investigating Yu Baiwen, I found that his company had business dealings with a company called Dahe Trading. Then we investigated Dahe Trading."

"Thank you for your hard work." Zhong Daolong interrupted Tang Bandit's story and said.

Zhong Daolong's mood was very complicated.

He had known about this case for a long time. When Zhong Tianque was inspecting Bailu Academy, some things that damaged his image happened because of his physical discomfort, and he was videotaped by the students of the academy.

If that video was deleted in time, it would be harmless and would not cause any substantial harm to the royal family.

However, someone happened to put it on the Internet and spread it widely, and the person who spread it quickly found out that the second child was closely related.

Brothers fighting against each other is a tragedy in the world.

What father wants to see brothers and sisters fighting each other?

However, the fact happened so nakedly before our eyes.

He handed the case over to Chen Fenglei. Chen Fenglei understood his thoughts. He would make big things into trivial matters and trivial matters into nothingness. He would treat it as if nothing had happened.

Although there is a crack inside, everyone is still a harmonious and beautiful family on the surface.

Unexpectedly, Bandit Tang raised the case again.

The scar that had become a cocoon was peeled off, revealing the stinking rotten flesh inside.

What is the difference between this and grave digging?

This Tang bandit

How annoying!

By doing this, didn't he create family conflicts within their royal family?

Tang Bandit was stunned for a moment, then straightened his spine and saluted Zhong Daolong, saying, "This is what I should do."

Zhong Daolong looked at Bandit Tang with a smile and said: "You should have been given some rewards for investigating such a big case. But you just mentioned the deputy department. What do you want me to reward you for?" "

"Reward?" Tang Bandi looked at Yan Wenli with doubtful eyes and said, "The dean said that I did something wrong and should be punished."

"." Yan Wenli.

Zhong Daolong glanced at Yan Wenli, laughed loudly, looked at Tang Bandit and said: "From his standpoint, you have certainly done something wrong. But from my standpoint, this proves that you are dedicated to the public, which is a good thing." , deserves to be rewarded.”

Tang Bandit shook his head and said: "I don't want rewards, I just did what I should do."

"Well, it's very good that you have such a mentality. Let's do this. I will help you write down your contribution this time. When you make great contributions next time, we will reward you together. How about it?"

"Yes, listen to the king." The Tang bandit followed the good advice.

"Okay, you go back to work first. I'll talk to Dean Yan."

"Yes." Tang Bandit saluted Zhong Daolong and Yan Wenli, then turned and left.

When the Tang bandits walked away, Zhong Daolong looked at Yan Wenyuan and said, "What do you think?"

"What do you think? What are you looking at?" Yan Wenli raised his glass and asked.

Zhong Daolong was silent for a moment to show his dissatisfaction with Yan Wenli: "Did he discover it accidentally or did it deliberately?"

Yan Wenli sneered a few times and asked, "Does the king doubt him?"

"Don't you think it's strange?"

Yan Wenli thought for a moment and said aloud: "I think he happened to have discovered the connection between the two cases. Think about it, even I don't know about such a secret matter, how could he know in advance?"

"This is too much of a coincidence." Zhong Daolong said fiercely, still skeptical, "I finally suppressed this case, and now he has uncovered it for me."

"What do you mean, the king?"

Zhong Daolong looked at Yan Wenli and asked, "What do you think?"

Yan Wenli smiled bitterly and said aloud: "We outsiders should not get involved in the household affairs of the king, right?"

"It used to be a household matter, and I handled it privately. Now that you have brought Bandit Tang to report to me, is it still a household matter? Tell me, what do you think?"

Yan Wenli frowned and said aloud: "If the king agrees, we can still suppress this case. Just like before, just treat it as if nothing happened."

"Hmph, so many people know it, how can they still suppress it?" Zhong Daolong sneered.

"In fact, it is not difficult to handle this case. What is difficult is what the two highnesses think." Yan Wenli said aloud.

"Yes." Zhong Daolong nodded, deeply convinced of Yan Wenli's words, and said aloud: "This scandal was exposed by the Tang bandits again. If it is ignored, the boss must have something in mind. After all, this matter is in his mind It’s with resentment.”

"However, if the remaining living water is disposed of, the second child will have a thorn in his heart. I know his temper, and I'm afraid he won't let it go. In that case, a lot of troubles may arise."

"At this juncture, no more extraneous things can happen. Once there is turmoil, those people will take action. Then it will be even more difficult."

Yan Wenli sighed softly and said: "It is difficult for an honest official to deal with household affairs. As the head of a country, you still have to worry about such a thing."

"Who says it's not?" Zhong Daolong poured himself a glass of wine and shook it gently in his hand: "As a father, I have to find ways to consider the children's thoughts and feelings, and maintain the Their decency. But, who cares about my feelings?"

"When something like this happened, I was the one who suffered the most. Who would care about my thoughts and feelings? Who would think about sharing my worries instead of tearing each other apart?"

"It's not that serious. It's just a fight between the children. Children from ordinary families will quarrel, let alone the children of the royal family." Yan Wenli consoled him.

Zhong Daolong looked at Yan Wenli and said, "You should live a comfortable life without having to worry about these messy things."

"Hey, hey, why are you envious of me, a childless family? Now that you have two children, you will enjoy their great blessings in the future."

"As long as Fenghuang is more careful, those two sons should not make me mad to death."

"My daughter is a good daughter, and my son is also a good son. It's just that there were some misunderstandings in the middle. It will be fine when the matter is resolved."

After listening to Yan Wenli's words, Zhong Daolong seemed to have made some kind of determination and said, "Let Bandit Tang continue to investigate this case."

Yan Wenli was quite shocked, looked at Zhong Daolong and asked: "Continue to investigate?"

"Now that it has happened, we can't cover it up anymore. Then let's investigate, find out everything, and get to the bottom of it."

"But, in this case, where is the Yu family?"

Yan Wenli knew in his heart that if this case was seriously investigated, Yu Huoshui would be deeply involved.

If it's serious, I'm afraid I won't even be able to save my life.

One Yu living water is not a big concern, but what should the Yu family do?

Considering the relationship between the royal family and the Yu family, how should Yu Huoshui be dealt with at that time?

put? Can't let it go.

kill? Even more impossible to kill.

Being in a dilemma, wouldn't that put their Overwatch Council on the fire?

Therefore, he first wanted Zhong Daolong to give a clear attitude.

Zhong Daolong's eyes were cold and he said angrily: "They themselves are not strict in raising their children, who can blame them?"

"Cha, give Zhong Tianque peace of mind and relieve the anger in his stomach. Also give Zhong Tianyi a warning, let him know that that position has nothing to do with him, and he doesn't need to have any evil thoughts anymore."

Yan Wenli bowed slightly to Zhong Daolong and praised: "The Lord of the country is wise."

"Sheng Ming?" Zhong Daolong sneered: "If you were Sheng Ming, you wouldn't have raised your child like this."

Yan Wenli was with Smiley by his side. He didn't dare to take this topic, and he couldn't take it up.

Zhong Daolong knew that Yan Wenli was not willing to get involved in the royal family affairs, so he said aloud: "As for Tang Bandit, you must guide him and not let him focus his time and energy on this case. There are more important things. He needs to deal with it.”

"Yes." Yan Wenli immediately stood up and saluted, and said with a serious expression: "This incident was my dereliction of duty. I will give him a few important cases to handle when I get back."

"Yes." Zhong Daolong nodded and said: "Just relying on a Tang bandit is not enough to use the sword."

"What do you mean, the king?"

"It's time for your Oversight Council to take action."

"Now?"

"Now."

Yan Wenli's eyes were bright and frightening, and he said in a deep voice: "The Overwatch Council will never let the king down."
