Li Zhi, don't be a coward

Chapter 404 Out of Control Spread
If you want to participate in a game, you must first have an entry ticket, which is a universal truth.

Li Qinzai went to the palace to meet Li Zhi today, and finally the monarch and his ministers made such a farce in order to get this ticket.

Li Qinzai was qualified to continue to participate in this case of disgusting victory after obtaining the power to handle the case, reversed the iron case that had been crucified, and rescued Li Sujie's two sisters.

It's easy to say, but it's a test of acting skills. Sitting in the carriage, Li Qinzai recalled his performance just now.

Well, the acting skills are still online, the tone of the lines is a bit artificial, and the impromptu actions of being thrown out of the palace and scratching the door are the finishing touch.

Generally speaking, it is still qualified. The image of a victim who was reluctant to be forced by the emperor and had to investigate this case was vivid on the paper.

To paraphrase a classic quote from a scumbag that Li Zhi once said, "It's hard to turn down the kindness, but it's hard to do what you're willing to do."

In the eyes of others, how would you see him?
I don't want to get involved in this matter either, but the emperor's strength is too great...

Why did Li Qinzai act in this play?This is by no means pointless nonsense.

For some errands, there is a big difference between taking the initiative and being forced to appoint.

The difference between life and death.

Li Qinzai wants to set up an independent person who is forced to appoint and belongs to the victim.

It may not be able to dispel Empress Wu's hostility, but at least it can dilute her hostility.

Where is Li Zhi?With Li Qinzai's performance just now, did Li Zhi notice his thoughts, and did he cooperate tacitly?
There was no answer to this question, but Li Qinzai saw the result.

The results satisfied him.

…………

The misfortune of being tired of victory began to spread gradually.

The questioning of thousands of people in the palace was just the beginning. After the two princesses were imprisoned in the Zongzheng Temple, things were destined to develop in a more and more expanding direction.

As soon as Li Qinzai left Taiji Palace, more than ten courtiers were taken into prison by Dali Temple.

Not only more than a dozen courtiers, their mansions were also confiscated, their family members were imprisoned and tortured, and even their relatives, friends and disciples were questioned by local governments.

In this way, the scope of influence is wide. From the relatives, friends, and disciples of the dozen or so courtiers, thousands of people were involved in the storm.

The person who presided over the torture and conviction was Li Yifu, the Duke of Hejian County and Minister of the Ministry of Officials.

Holding a big stick in hand, seeing gods and killing gods.

Li Yifu didn't know who was instructing him to wield a big stick at the court on the grounds of the disgusting victory case, like crazy.

None of the ten or so courtiers questioned knew why they were somehow involved in this big case.

However, these people had nowhere to complain, and they were tortured in the prison of Dali Temple.

Like a plague that was caught off guard, centered on these dozen courtiers, with their relatives and connections, it spread infinitely and crazily outward.

Everyone in the court hall is in danger and dare not speak loudly.

From time to time, there was Liu Rengui, a third-rank member of the same Zhongshu sect, who couldn't see it, and finally took the initiative to speak out at the court meeting, and asked the emperor for a review, and asked the three divisions to interrogate him. The hearts of the people are in turmoil.

Liu Rengui's proposal sparked controversy at the court meeting. Li Yifu and Liu Rengui quarreled in court.

Both of their propositions seemed to be reasonable, but the officials at the court meeting were shocked by Li Yifu's recent crazy methods, no one dared to agree with Liu Rengui, and they all kept silent.

However, after the dynasty was dispersed, those who should be arrested were still arrested, and the innocent people who should be implicated were still implicated.

As Li Qinzai expected, as long as the scourge of palace witchcraft is involved, the situation will definitely be very serious, and it will become more and more serious.

Li Qinzai didn't participate in the court meeting. He didn't like meaningless verbal battles with others. Winning or losing was nothing to show his face.

…………

Li's new house.

Li Qinzai sat in the front hall, staring at Song Sen with dissatisfaction.

"Master Song, tell me the truth, is it true that more than half of the people in your Baiqi Division are working hard? After three days of investigation, what's the result?"

Song Sen blushed, obviously being insulted, but in fact there was really nothing to gain in these three days. If Li Qinzai was insulting Baiqisi, then... Song Sen could only bear it.

"Uncle Li, do you know how hard Baiqisi worked?" Song Sen complained unwillingly for his subordinates: "No, you don't know anything, you only care about yourself..."

Li Qinzai was stunned, what the hell...are you still a fan of Baiqisi?

Without thinking, he picked up a silver pot on the table and fired it at Song Sen's forehead as a hidden weapon.

Song Sen shrank his head and didn't hit it.

"Get the pot back for me." Li Qinzai said with a serious face.

Song Sen respectfully took back the silver pot and offered it on the low table with both hands.

"Wait, I'll go to the palace to see His Majesty right now. If nothing else, I'll dismiss you as a wine bag and rice bag, and move to Lingnan to pick lychees. By the way, I will be wheeled by the mother hozen a hundred times..."

Song Sen was shocked: "Uncle Li County is so noble, please forgive me once!"

Li Qinzai stretched out his hand: "The result, what is the result I want?"

Song Sen was sweating profusely, and took out a piece of paper full of words from his arms, wiped off the sweat and said with a wry smile: "The two thieves Guo and Fan have many enemies in the palace. The officials and the Baiqisi have been investigating for many days. Most of the people they bullied and offended are here."

Looking at the densely packed names on the paper, Li Qinzai couldn't help feeling a headache. He simply didn't bother to look at it, and said, "That's it? Have you locked down the suspect? There are at least 100 people on here. Could it be possible to arrest them all for interrogation?"

Song Sen said embarrassingly: "Li Xianbo will accommodate the officials for a few more days, and the Baiqisi is checking and screening them one by one."

After a pause, Song Sen said cautiously: "Didn't the two thieves, Guo and Fan, take the initiative to confess? It was said that the two princesses were the masterminds, and they were questioned by Zongzheng Temple. This case... should be closed, right?"

Li Qinzai sneered: "It's up to you whether to tie it or not?"

Song Sen was a little dazed, subconsciously said: "Uncle Li has the final say?"

"It doesn't count if I say it," Li Qinzai twitched his lips mysteriously, and pointed to the beam.

Song Sen looked along his fingers, staring at the beam above his head in a daze, and said stupidly: "Who? Who's on it?"

Li Qinzai gritted his teeth. It's because he wasn't his direct subordinate, otherwise Song Sen would have to be drawn into a second-class disabled person to receive the court pension sooner or later, and people in the rivers and lakes would give him the nickname "Tieguai Song who can't be beaten to death".

"The Son of Heaven! You bastard! The Son of Heaven has the final say!" Li Qinzai let out a lion's roar.

Song Sen was so frightened that he trembled all over his body, his shock was fixed, and his face was full of horror: "The emperor... the emperor thinks that the masterminds of this case are not the two princesses?"

Li Qinzai lowered his eyelids and said flatly, "You guessed it yourself, I didn't say anything."
