Start with detective Li Yuanfang

Chapter 108 Li Yuanfang is really a strange person!

Di Renjie was stunned.

Kant is a Liangzhou legal officer, so it is only natural for Li Yan to ask him about the Liangzhou case.

I am far away in Bingzhou, and I have only heard a little about the big case in Liangzhou, why ask myself?

But at the next moment, Li Yan said with a smile: "Both of you are lawyers. Over the years, you have handled various cases, especially Huaiying. You have seen all the states and counties in the world, and you have never made any mistakes in the cases you handled. It is really too much for you to live in one county. After passing Qu Cai, I asked for my order to transfer you to the capital."

Only then did Di Renjie realize that he was appreciated for his work ability, so he got up and said, "Thank you, Li Jiyi!"

He was very grateful for the attention, but there was really too little information about Jia Sibo's case, so he really couldn't see anything at the moment.

In desperation, Di Renjie could only answer: "According to the officials, this matter is quite strange!"

Li Yan almost laughed out loud.

It's you fat guy, every time you come across a case and the clues are not clear, you just ask Yuan Fang what do you think?
What else can I do besides answering that something is wrong?
Now the tide is turning!
After enjoying himself, Li Yan asked Di Renjie to sit down: "Huaiying is right. There must be a secret behind this matter. Jia Sibo is deeply scheming, and he does not leak anything. He will not intentionally do things that attract attention. You should all write down this pill room. It might be a key clue."

Everyone responded: "Yes!"

Li Yan smiled: "Let's serve tea!"

Today, his way of drinking tea has become popular in all major monasteries in Chang'an.

In the eyes of the people, especially those who worshiped the Buddha that day, Li Yuanfang was an enemy of the Buddha and blasphemed the Buddha.

But since he was promoted to rank five dignitaries, the attitude of the masters towards him is better than before.

Wu Minzhi was the one who did the evil, so Li Ji should kill Tathagata?Nothing at all!Don't spread rumors!

Ever since, Li Yan went to the temple to bring some goods from time to time. Whether it was the change in the taste of morning tea or because of his face, the temples in Chang'an basically changed the way of drinking tea.

This habit also affects the surrounding area and continues to spread, making tea appear more and more frequently in the streets and alleys.

Once there is a market, some people will naturally try to make further improvements. Although the idea of ​​frying tea has not yet appeared, the taste of tea drinks is getting better and better.

After eating the mutton at this time, Li Yan picked up the tea to remove the smell and moisten his throat.

The next dish came up one by one.

The Kang family soon ran out of food, and the mutton was really full.

But for martial arts practitioners, the more meat, the better. Wang Xiaojie, Bloomberg, and Guo Yuanzhen are all quite satisfied with their meals.

Even Di Renjie, who had just been tested, felt his appetite whetted and ate at a constant speed.

During the period, Li Yan drank a little bit of alcohol, just to add to the fun, and when he was really full of wine and food, the dancers came up for a routine dance.

This is respect for the guests. If you don't go through this process, people will think you look down on him.

But at this time, Li Yan looked at those dancing poses, and somehow felt familiar, and the style was different from what he usually saw.

Anshen sensed his strangeness, and said with a smile, "Liulang doesn't know yet? The saint said that you are very enthusiastic about dancing, and there are dancers in the market who specially imitate your dance, which is very popular!"

Li Yan: "..."

There is one more reason to be hostile to Li Zhi.

I don't want to fan such butterfly wings!
Others watched it with gusto, even Di Renjie was very surprised.

This Shangguan is also too versatile!
"It's a good dance, don't dance like this next time."

Li Yan waited for the girls to dance, and waved their hands helplessly, and said to Anshen: "How about the business route I asked you to arrange?"

Anshen said with a smile: "Don't worry Liulang, our An family can handle this matter well. When we go to the four towns of Anxi, there will be at least six caravans to provide us with supplies!"

Li Yan warned: "The more the better, now Tubo is powerful in the Western Regions, merchants are chasing profit, beware of those people repeating themselves, don't be stingy with the number of inspectors, you can give merchants' children, let them do their best, invest a little bit in caravans, It can also be used as internal guard income and as a source of finance."

Anshen felt a little strange: "Liulang, the sage gave us the right to do things cheaply, including property expenses, why bother to look far away?"

Li Yan said with a smile: "The sage is magnanimous, we, as ministers, have to do our duty."

fart!
Just because it was Li Zhi!
Li Yan is very vigilant about the decentralization of power by this saint.

Neiwei's flexible financial means are somewhat like the minister's money in the Song Dynasty.

Minister's money was originally granted to the local government by the imperial court to entertain past officials. Later, the scope of use gradually expanded. During the Song and Xia Wars, Zhong Shiheng, Di Qing, Zhang Kang, Teng Zongliang and others all used these The money was spent on buying spies, subsidizing merchants, etc., using money to buy people's hearts, and spending a lot of money to encourage soldiers.

It is understandable to do things cheaply in the front line, but there are naturally many ambiguities in it.

Ever since, due to the reform of Fan Zhongyan's new deal and the struggle between the conservative factions of the imperial court's reform, four border officials were impeached together.

The censor impeached the four generals for corruption, Fan Zhongyan had to end, Ouyang Xiu and Xi Ni.

Even so, in the end, except for Di Qing, who was defined as a martial artist who did not understand the law, but a blessing in disguise that attracted the attention of high-level officials, the other three were miserable.

The opening chapter of "Yueyang Tower" "In the spring of the fourth year of Qingli, Teng Zijing was relegated to Baling County..." is to say that Teng Zongliang's political life ended due to this case.

This is the advantage of studying history. There is nothing new under the sun. If you refer to the situation of each era, there will always be similar references.

Li Yan has no doubt that once the inner guards also use such flexible money as minister money, Li Zhi will definitely start with this in the future.

No matter how much credit there is, even a crime of corruption can bring people down.

The sage's methods of cheating his courtiers within the rules are perfect.

So since An's has the way of Hu merchants, of course he should make good use of it, don't touch the money that his subordinates shouldn't touch, and would rather earn it by himself.

After exhorting to calm the nerves, Li Yan looked at Guo Yuanzhen: "Yuanzhen, you are also a scholar who is rushing to take the exam. My classmate and friend Kang Da, I will leave it to you."

Guo Yuanzhen stood up with a smile: "Please don't worry, Li Jiyi. I have inquired about the preferences of many examiners, and I thought it would be useless. It's great that Mr. Kang Xiaolang is here!"

Li Yan said with a smile: "I believe in your imperial examination level."

This is true, Guo Yuanzhen's background is mediocre, and his education level is also average, but two years later in history, he will pass the Jinshi examination at the age of eighteen.

That's not Mingjing, it's a Jinshi department that almost never gets involved by outsiders!

When Jia Sibo knew about it, he was envious to death. Countless poets and talents in the Tang Dynasty knew about it, except for Wang Bo, they all beat their chests and stamped their feet.

Why!

The strange thing is that Guo Yuanzhen was an eighteen-year-old high school Jinshi, and he can be said to be proud of his spring breeze, but with the fame of Jinshi and the first rank, he worked as a county captain in a poor county.

He has been working for nearly twenty years, but he has not been promoted, which is worse than Di Renjie.

So Li Yan had reason to suspect that this was the chief examiner's trick.

Candidates from other places feel that Jinshi are all taken over by the Six Schools of the Second Hall of Chang'an, right? Then we will admit a few poor people with low backgrounds to show justice!
Guo Yuanzhen won the grand prize and became a model deliberately set up by the examiner, which may also have something to do with his ability to figure out the examiner's preferences.

But after winning the Jinshi, the subsequent promotions are still based on family background, in name only.

Ever since, this eighteen-year-old Jinshi almost spent his whole life as a small county captain. Later, it was Wu Zetian who broke the rules and was promoted.

Guo Yuanzhen was naturally unaware of his ups and downs in his career, so he planned on his own: "Tomorrow, I will take Mr. Kang Xiaolang to the Gongyuan Academy, arrange a good place for him, and lend us some books from Li Jiyi's residence! "

Li Yan nodded: "Okay!"

"Help me move the books!"

Guo Yuanzhen pulled Bloomberg, who obediently stood up and followed behind him.

"Brother, I will help you too!"

Kang Meng understood, got up with Kang Da, and walked out of the hall together.

Li Yan waved his hand, and all the servants withdrew, leaving only Wu Dewei under his command, with a straight face: "The source of the weapons of the dead soldiers in Liangzhou, are you sure?"

Qiu Shenji said in a concentrated voice: "It has been determined that those ordnance came from the arsenal, and Xiaojie and I are investigating the specific source."

Li Yan directly pointed out: "The arsenal can be stolen in the land of Longyou, and the powerful and powerful in Guanlong cannot get rid of it."

"My Tang army was invincible, but over the years, there have been many military households who have escaped from service, the management of weapons is chaotic, and the army is in turmoil. Ordnance, profiteering!"

"I don't care about the interrogation of Jia Sibo's case, but there must be a certain official in the court, or even more than one person, who supported the rebellion behind the scenes and secretly communicated with Tubo!"

"This kind of thief may stab us in the back at any time when we go out to fight!"

"This person must be found out, not necessarily through Jia Sibo, there are other ways, although it is more difficult and may offend more people..."

"But our internal guards are serving the country, and the saints allow it, so don't be afraid of being hindered in everything!"

After hearing these resounding words, Qiu Shenji, who was acting more and more boldly, Wang Xiaojie, who was from a low-level military family, and Anshen, who was from a miscellaneous Hu, all lifted their spirits: "Yes!"

Li Yan looked at Kang De: "Kang Wuwei, we have friendship in Liangzhou, Kang Meng Kangda regards me as a friend, but these are not the real reasons why I chose you, do you understand?"

When Kant saw that Li Yan transferred his two sons away, he knew he was going to talk about something big, but he didn't expect it to be so explosive.

However, since he agreed to join the inner guard, he also knew that it was impossible to live a leisurely life, so he gritted his teeth and said, "Understood, if the Tubo side is allowed to be rampant, it will surely invade Liangzhou in the future. Liangzhou has been around for a hundred years, and it has a bit of a family business, for the country and the family, everyone should contribute to this!"

"it is good!"

Li Yan liked this kind of sobriety, and finally looked at Di Renjie.

Di Renjie cheered up, this time he really has an opinion.

Then Li Yan said: "Di Wuwei, you have been in Bingzhou for more than ten years, strictly enforce the law, and love the people. Although you and I met for the first time, we have been friends for a long time. I believe you!"

Excitement welled up in Di Renjie's heart, and he nodded heavily.

Li Yan could indeed see that Di Renjie at this time was not the elder Ge who was imprisoned by cruel officials and became more and more impeccable.

What surges in the eyes is the young official's fighting spirit to serve the country,

Don't look at me in my forties, I'm round and chubby, and I'm also full of blood!
He smiled, raised his glass and said, "What we inner guards are going to do is the right thing that ordinary people dare not do. Let's encourage each other! Do it!"

"Dry!"

Everyone toasted and drank with high morale.

Di Renjie put down his wine glass and looked at the young Li Yan who seemed to have absolute prestige and was indeed convincing in his conduct.

Compared with the various images conceived before, he expressed his heartfelt admiration:

"Li Yuanfang is really a strange person!"
