I'm Actually The Big Villain In The Book

Chapter 26 I'll help you get promoted

Li's mansion is naturally inferior to Wei's mansion in terms of grandeur, and it is even a bit shabby, not like the mansion of a third rank official.

In fact, this is not difficult to understand. After all, as a "legal worker", Li Kan may have to understand the truth that "low-key can last long".

"Master, Mr. Wei has already entered the main entrance."

A man who looked like a housekeeper came in to report, Li Kan stood up after thinking for a while and walked into the courtyard.

As an elder, he actually didn't need to come out of the house to greet him, but after all Wei Changtian's status is special, and his personality is rumored to be extremely perverse, so it's safer to lower his posture.

He stretched out his hand to straighten his clothes, and soon Wei Changtian and Li Yang appeared in sight.

Ok?

This Wei Changtian's appearance is so handsome?

Doesn't his imposing appearance look like that kind of violent and vicious person?

At least he is much better than his own son.

Thinking wildly in his heart, Li Kan showed a smile on his face and walked up to him quickly.

"Hahaha, Quanzi has repeatedly mentioned Mr. Wei at home, and seeing him today is indeed a good-looking talent!"

"Lord Li really broke me."

Wei Changtian stood still opposite Li Kan, and bowed his cupped hands very politely: "This is the first time I came to the door, I heard Brother Li said that you always like to drink tea, so I brought some tea here, I hope Master Li will not dislike you."

"Young Master Wei has a heart."

From the corner of his eye, Li Kan glanced at the box that Wang was carrying in his second hand, and smiled even more.

As an expert, he could tell the grade of these tea leaves at a glance.

If Wei Changtian offered money, he really didn't necessarily want it, but tea...

Glancing at the butler, the latter immediately took the wooden box with understanding.

"Young Master Wei, let's talk in the room!"

"Okay, Mr. Li, please!"

...

In the main hall, Wei Changtian and Li Kan sat on both sides of the tea table, with a landscape painting by a famous artist hanging behind them.

As for Li Yang, he can only sit with him in the lower position.

"Young Master Wei, how is your father doing recently?"

Li Kan took a sip of his tea and said with a smile, "The last time I met Mr. Wei was last year. Now that I think about it, a year has passed. How time flies."

Li Kan and Wei Xianzhi are not court officials, and they don't usually go to court, so it is really difficult to have the opportunity to meet each other.

If it weren't for Li Yang and the former owner's similar taste, it is estimated that the two families would not have any intersection at all.

"Please trouble Master Li for your thoughts."

Wei Changtian replied with a smile: "Everything is fine with my father, he even mentioned you a few days ago, saying that you are a rare good official nowadays."

"Haha, Mr. Wei is too famous."

In Li Kan's heart, he didn't believe that Wei Xianzhi would remember him, but he still said politely: "It's all for the emperor and the people."

"Lord Li, you don't have to be too modest."

Wei Changtian shook his head meaningfully: "The Dali Temple is in charge of the trial of criminal and prison cases, and the responsibility is already heavy."

"What's more, everyone knows that Mr. Zhang is weak and sick, and you are actually taking care of all the affairs in the temple. Naturally, you deserve the word 'good official'!"

"Boy, let me say something presumptuous...Master Li, you should have gone a step further."

"..."

The main room was quiet for a while, because Wei Changtian's words were indeed too presumptuous, just as he himself said.

The Master Zhang he was talking about was Zhang Hongwen, who was an official Dali Siqing, Li Kan's immediate boss.

Since Wei Changtian said that Li Kan should go further, he most likely meant to replace Zhang Hongwen.

Of course Li Kan wanted to be promoted, and even hoped that Zhang Hongwen would die of illness and return to the West, but he also knew that this was definitely not something that Wei Changtian could decide.

Not even Wei Xianzhi.

"Hahaha, Mr. Wei was joking."

"I don't have much pursuit of official career, and now I am very content."

"Drink tea, drink tea!"

After a haha, he wanted to skip the topic quickly.

But who would have thought that Wei Changtian would not let him go, not only did he not drink tea, but he even said something even more shocking.

"Master Li, I'm not joking... Mr. Zhang should really move his butt."

"you……"

Li Kan looked at Wei Changtian suddenly, and broke out in cold sweat for a moment.

He didn't know what the purpose of Wei Changtian's words was, but he knew very well that if Zhang Hongwen heard about it, he and the Wei family would definitely be in trouble.

The Wei family can ignore Zhang Hongwen, but he can't!

Taking a step back, even if Wei Changtian really wanted to help him, the method was nothing more than the assassination method most commonly used by Xuanjing Division.

This is easy to reveal, even if Zhang Hongwen is really killed in the end, according to the laws of Daning, it is impossible for him to fill the vacancy of "Dali Temple Minister".

Non-military posts, the sudden death of an upper official, the lower official cannot fill the vacancy.

The Wei family controls the Xuanjing Division, it is impossible for Wei Changtian not to know this.

So... Could it be that the Wei family wanted to harm him?

Thinking of this, Li Kan couldn't care less about taking care of Wei Changtian's face, and his face suddenly sank.

"Young Master Wei, I don't understand what you mean! I hope you think twice before speaking!"

"If you continue to talk nonsense like this, please ask the young master to go back!"

"..."

In an instant, the atmosphere in the room suddenly dropped to freezing point.

Li Kan and Wei Changtian didn't speak while the fragrance of tea was lingering, but Li Yang first spoke indignantly.

"Father! What are you doing?"

"I think Brother Wei is right, Zhang Hongwen, that old man..."

"Shut up! What do you know!"

Li Kan shouted angrily and interrupted his son's words.

Li Yang was taken aback for a moment, his expression obviously disaffected.

But just when he was about to refute a few sentences, Wei Changtian suddenly said softly:

"Brother Li, you go out first."

"Brother Wei..."

Li Yang looked at Wei Changtian hesitantly, and seeing the latter nodded, he reluctantly bowed to Li Kan, and then walked away.

"Master Li."

Watching Li Yang close the door, Wei Changtian looked away, and suddenly asked Li Kan an unreasonable question.

"What are the capital offenses in the Daning law?"

"..."

Li Kan is the Shaoqing of Dali Temple, of course he knew the answer, but he really couldn't understand why Wei Changtian asked this.

After a long silence, he suppressed his anger and said a series of crimes: "Treason, treason, treason, disrespect, immorality, injustice..."

"Ok."

Wei Changtian listened patiently, and then asked himself: "Then can you put a third rank official to death?"

"hiss……"

Li Kan subconsciously took a deep breath.

Although the first page of the Daning Law reads "The Son of Heaven commits the same crime as the common people", but in fact...

"Treason, treason..."

This time, the charges were 70% to 80% less than just now.

And Li Kan seemed to know what Wei Changtian was going to say.

"Master Li, to tell you the truth..."

Sure enough, he soon heard this sentence from Wei Changtian's mouth.

"Master Zhang committed one of these crimes."

"..."

Li Kan swallowed, and asked with a trembling voice, "Which one?"

He knew he probably shouldn't ask, but he couldn't help it.

And Wei Changtian didn't intend to hide it, and after pondering for a moment, he spit out two words.

"Feeding demons."
