Datang Coroner

Chapter 1970
While Fu Shiyi was drinking water, the postmaster had chosen his way.

He said in a trembling voice, "It doesn't matter if I die, but County Magistrate Li, you have to promise me one thing."

"Tell me." Li Changbo didn't refuse, but said, "As long as it's not too much, I can agree."

"Keep at least half of my family's wealth, and then protect the safety of the rest of my family." When the postmaster said these words, he trembled slightly, and his face was full of fear.

He swallowed violently: "Especially my little grandchildren. They are still young—"

"Yes." Li Changbo nodded: "I can wrong you, first go to my county government dungeon and stay for a few days. Safety is guaranteed there."

Fu Shi nodded and agreed: "There is no safer place than there. Except for the unpalatable food, there is nothing wrong with it."

Of course, the accommodation environment can also be improved—you can even ask the family to live in the same row and take care of each other.

Anyway, there are many empty rooms in the dungeon.

This proposal was accepted by the postmaster without hesitation.

The postmaster suggested that the family should clean up now, and go back to Chang'an County Yamen with them later.

Li Changbo agreed, and asked Wang Erxiang to take the postmaster to the backyard to say something.

Fu Shiyi lowered his voice: "Will he run?"

"No one will protect him." Li Changbo took a sip of water slowly, and then answered firmly: "If he goes out of this door, he might die. And if he runs away alone, the family will have no way to survive."

Therefore, he dare not.

Sure enough, the postmaster came back trembling after a while, and this time, he was finally willing to cooperate obediently.

Li Changbo directly asked about the identities of those people.

The postmaster swallowed a mouthful of saliva: "They took the brand of Yao Xiangfu, they didn't say anything else, they found me directly, first mentioned that I used to embezzle money and food from the post station, and steal other people's benefits. Then tell me, I If you don't listen to their orders, they will tell others about the past. When the time comes—"

Probably because he was too frightened, his teeth were trembling a little. During the bumping of the postmaster's teeth, he bit his tongue. How pathetic.

Although no one urged him, the postmaster did not dare to pause for too long. He took a breath and continued, "What they said is true. I was afraid, so I could only agree. They took out another golden pancake and handed it over to you." Give it to me, say it's a favor fee."

"Then, they asked me to tear up that page of the account book, and told me that Zheng Yi didn't settle here." The station chief peeked at Li Changbo, a little cowardly: "I did so, and ordered my subordinates to make fakes. Originally I thought it was perfect, but who knows how it turned out—but Zheng Yi's death was widely rumored, and his death was so tragic... I guessed it."

"Then I was even more scared. I didn't dare to say anything, so I had to pretend that Zheng Yi hadn't shown up." The postmaster's voice was full of tears: "He must have offended someone. Otherwise, how could this happen? Those people are rich and powerful, I There's no way—"

Fu Shiyi looked at him in shock: Are you ashamed to cry?Are these three views a little too strange?
"Originally, I was living a good life. Seeing that I will be able to go home to take care of the elderly in a few years, this happened! Zheng Yi made me suffer!" The postmaster was really wronged, even if he stopped, tears really fell .

Li Changbo was also silent.

Wang Erxiang couldn't bear it any longer, and pressed the postmaster's arm with a little force——

The postmaster howled like a pig.

Wang Erxiang smiled honestly, "Sorry, my hand slipped."

The postmaster didn't dare to do anything, and closed his mouth aggrieved.

It took Li Changbo a long time to say: "It seems that we have to go to Yao Xiangfu."

Yao Xiangfu is the residence of former Prime Minister Yao Chong.

After His Majesty purged Princess Taiping's clique, Yao Chong was appreciated by His Majesty and worshiped as Prime Minister.Then he assisted the government, reformed the past, vigorously promoted reforms, made advantages and eliminated disadvantages. He was a very good official.

Among the folks, when Yao Chong is mentioned, he should be honored as Prime Minister Yao and greatly appreciated.

In the ninth year of Kaiyuan, Yao Chong had already passed away from illness. Today's Yao Xiangfu is not the same as the former Yao Xiangfu.

But Yao Chong's disciples and acquaintances are almost all over the world, and the officials he promoted are too numerous to mention. Yao Xiangfu still has strength.

Even Song Jing, the current prime minister, was strongly recommended by Prime Minister Yao, so he was able to pay homage to the prime minister.

Those who know the inside story know that Yao Chong's descendants are not good, and I am afraid that Yao Xiangfu will go into decline sooner or later.But those who don't know still think that Yao Xiangfu is the top group of powerful people.

Of course, because of Yao Xiang, no matter who it is, they still give Yao Xiangfu some face.

Even His Majesty Li Sanlang admires and misses Yao Chong very much.

If he knocked on Yao Xiangfu at night and it was the Lantern Festival, I'm afraid... he would be criticized.

But Fu Shiyi did not warn Li Changbo, but ordered decisively: "Let's go, hurry back to the city."

Regardless of the time limit, or because Zheng Yi was a good official and didn't deserve such a miserable death, Fu Shiyi felt that there was nothing he couldn't go to ask Prime Minister Yao at night.

Yao Xiangruo is here, if he knows this, he will not be annoyed.

Annoyance is not to annoy them who investigate the case.

Immediately, Fu Shiyi and Li Changbo returned home with only Lin Ping and the ledger.

As for the others, they were brought back by Wang Erxiang.

Before leaving, Li Changbo watched over Wang Erxiang, and only told him: "No matter what, don't put yourself in danger. Your name is the most important thing. If someone stops you and you can't protect him, don't force yourself."

Wang Erxiang looked serious: "You just need to rest assured."

Fu Shiyi said softly: "We will send people to meet you. Don't try to be brave."

Wang Erxiang immediately said: "Then I will wait for someone to come and go together."

Not at all heroic.

Fu Shiyi patted him on the shoulder, and praised him with satisfaction: "This is courageous and resourceful."

Afterwards, she and Li Changbo hit the horse's stomach and set off.

As the night deepened, the cold dew became heavier, and the cool wind seemed to penetrate the gaps in the bones and blow through the body.

Scraping on the face is like cutting with a knife.

Fortunately, the journey was not far away, and soon I saw the bright lights of Chang'an City from a distance.

The lights on Lantern Festival night are more brilliant than usual.

Even if you just look at it from a distance, you can still imagine the lively and prosperous streets of Chang'an City.

There is no curfew tonight, and the shops that are open all over the street sell gadgets, food, and lanterns. Everyone goes to the street to join in the fun.

Husbands and wives, single young people who want to see if they can meet fate, those with children at home, and young men and women who are in love——

Fu Shiyi is extremely regretful: It's a pity that I can't go to guess lantern riddles with County Magistrate Li tonight.I have been in Chang'an City for two years, and I didn't go to join in the fun on the fifteenth day of the first lunar month last time. I originally planned to go this year, but I didn't expect to encounter a case again—it seems that I can only wait until next year.

However, it is also very good for the common people to go to the lantern festival and fall in love with peace of mind.

Thinking in this way, Fu Shiyi was happy again: In the peaceful and prosperous age, I also have a share of the credit!
