I have a role in the heavens

"Sir, my subordinate and Teng Zijing are strangers, so why bother to risk losing your head by modifying the case file of the Inspection Institute and hiding his family. My lord, this must be someone who framed Wang and wanted to kill him with your help. Wang!" Wang Qinian hurriedly cried out, bowing incessantly, and squeezed out a few turbid old tears from his dim old eyes covered with crow's feet, which made people moved.

Fan Xian looked at Wang Qinian who seemed to have been wronged and couldn't help but waver in his judgment. Could it be that he had really been deceived by Guo Baokun? But there was no reason. If Guo Baokun wanted to take revenge on Teng Zijing, he could use his power to do whatever he wanted It will make Teng Zijing die without a burial place. Even if he does not use power, he can easily kill Teng Zijing with Guo Baokun's skill in defeating Xie Bian with one move. How can Teng Zijing be allowed to stay in the inspection institute for more than two years? Don't talk about inspection. The power of the Inspectorate was overwhelming. With Guo Baokun's appreciation in front of Emperor Qing, killing an agent of the Inspectorate was as easy as crushing an ant. ,

"Wang Qinian, are you saying that Guo Baokun, who is the son of Guo Youzhi, the current Minister of Rites, a bachelor's degree scholar at the Hanlin Academy, a member of the imperial study, and a fourth-rank official in the imperial court, is setting you up?" Fan Xian reported Guo Baokun's identity and official position. He came out and wanted to see Wang Qinian's reaction.

"Ah! This...?" Wang Qinian froze on the spot for a moment, with tears still in the corners of his eyes. He opened his mouth wide and looked at Fan Xian with dumbfounded eyes.

Fan Xian may not have a deep understanding of Guo Baokun's status. After all, Fan Xian does not have a strong sense of hierarchy in his heart. He is also new to Kyoto, and his impression of Guo Baokun's specialness is only superficial.

Wang Qinian, as the clerk of the Institute of Inspection, is responsible for collecting the intelligence and information obtained by the agents of the Institute of Inspection and organizing it into files. The spies of the Institute of Inspection can be said to be all over the world, even in the palace. The existence of secret agents is the most well-informed place, so it is conceivable that Wang Qinian knows Guo Baokun very well. Guo Baokun is considered the most special person in the entire court. Emperor Qing appreciates him more than the emperor and his ministers. Guo Baokun dared to ask for a reward when he first met Emperor Qing in the palace. Later, he hit the palms of His Royal Highness the Crown Prince and His Highness the Second Prince with the imperial ruler in the palace. When Emperor Qing found out, not only did he not He blamed Guo Baokun, but instead reprimanded the two highnesses, and was promoted to a fourth-rank official in just two years. In private, Wang Qinian secretly wondered whether Guo Baokun might be the illegitimate son of Emperor Qing, and far more powerful than the prince. He was more favored by the second prince, which showed how special Guo Baokun was, so Wang Qinian couldn't help but be speechless for a while. He could play tricks with Fan Xian and tease Mengzi, but when it came to Guo Baokun, he didn't dare It was a lie to say that Guo Baokun was telling the truth. If he dared to lie, he believed that Guo Baokun would dare to come and take him away for trial at the forensic institute tomorrow.

"Sir, it was a villain who revised the files and hid Teng Zijing's family, but Mr. Wang would not do such treacherous and villainous behavior just for the sake of survival, so he is willing to accept the crime!" Wang Qinian finally admitted at this time, but But refused to hand over the whereabouts of Teng Zijing's family.

At this time, Wang Qinian straightened up, gently wiped away the false tears from the corners of his eyes, held the hair crown on his head with both hands, straightened it carefully, then looked down at his clothes, there were no wrinkles, Wang Qinian's face at this time There was no usual copper odor on his face, and this wrinkled old face actually had a faint light of holiness. Wang Qinian put his arms together tightly and stretched forward in front of Fan Xian, preparing to capture him without mercy.

Fan Xian was really impressed by Wang Qinian at this time. He didn't expect that Wang Qinian, who he had met four times and was always laughing and joking without formality, and full of the bad reputation of the market, could be such a loyal person. In his heart, Stick to your own bottom line and principles.

"Wang Qinian, what is your relationship with Teng Zijing? Are you willing to take this risk for him?" Fan Xian asked curiously.

"Sir, Wang and Teng Zijing have never met and have no friendship. However, Wang has heard about Teng Zijing's righteous deeds and admires him. They have been friends for a long time. He does not want the family of such a righteous man to suffer!" Wang Qinian also said at this time Stop hiding it and tell the truth about why you did what you did.

"Wang Qinian, you are the first person I admire in this life!" Fan Xian did not expect that the stories he could only hear from storybooks and novels in his previous life would actually appear before his eyes. "Strong men mostly kill dogs." "Senior, most of those who have a negative heart are scholars." These words are sincere and not deceiving. Fan Xian couldn't help but raise his right thumb to express his admiration.

"Your Excellency, you are exaggerating. Wang just doesn't want to do something against his will!" Wang Qinian shook his head and said modestly, without any of his usual frivolity.

"How many people in the world can not go against their true intentions, but in order to survive, there are countless people who have betrayed their faith!" Fan Xian said with emotion. Although there have been countless loyal people in the flower gardening family since ancient times, they are really a drop in the ocean compared to those who have betrayed their faith.

Wang Qinian did not speak, but he was still worried about his wife and daughter at home. He shook his head with regret. He did not expect that he would never do loss-making business in his whole life. The first time he did it, he got caught up. He hoped that he would save all these years. I can let my wife and daughter live a stable life.

"Wang Qinian, do you know who this is?" Fan Xian pushed Teng Zijing, who was dressed as a servant, to the opposite side of Wang Qinian.

Teng Zijing knelt down directly on his knees, raised his right hand with three fingers together, and hid his thumb and little finger in the palm of his hand. He saluted Wang Qinian with a choked voice, "Teng Zijing can't repay Brother Wang's kindness. In the future, as long as Brother Wang has something to do, he will do it." Teng Zijing will never frown even if he goes up the sword mountain or into the sea of ​​fire. If he violates this oath, he will be struck by five thunders and die without a burial place!"

"You are Teng Zijing, but you are not the master...?" Wang Qinian lowered his head and stared at Teng Zijing with his mouth open, and then quickly looked up at Fan Xian, his head kept swinging between the two, which was extremely funny.

"Teng Zijing just faked his death to escape. Your Excellency was originally looking for my family's whereabouts. Unexpectedly, it aroused Brother Wang's alert, which led to a misunderstanding!" Teng Zijing explained the cause of the matter.

"Oh, sir, you..." Wang Qinian couldn't help but shed tears at this time.

"I'm just testing you!" Fan Xian looked complacent, with pride and admiration in his expression.

"I didn't expect Wang to actually make such a joke!" Wang Qinian sighed self-deprecatingly.

"How can a matter of loyalty be a joke!" Fan Xian said seriously, clasping his fists and saluting Wang Qinian to express his admiration.

"Your Majesty, your words are serious!" Wang Qinian waved his hand and said humbly.

. . . . . .

"We're already home, why don't we go in!" Fan Xian looked at the house with an oil lamp burning. A ray of fire passed through the paper window and shone on the faces of Fan Xian and the three of them.
