Start with detective Li Yuanfang

Chapter 110 Di Pangpang is quite at ease by my side
Li Yan and Miao Shenke left the Daming Palace and got on their horses.

Along the way, the two chatted very well.

It is mainly the flattery of Miao Shenke.

A Bachelor of the North Gate, known as the humble and powerful, divided the power of the prime minister with a mere sixth-rank position.

But this power is actually an extension of Empress Wu.

When Empress Wu's power declined, the reputation of Beimen's bachelors also disappeared.

If it wasn't for the empress's face, the prime minister who joined the cabinet would give you little fellows a decentralization of power?
The most tragic thing is that they spent several years of hard work compiling a large number of theoretical works to promote Empress Wu's ruling theory, and worked hard to improve Empress Wu's personal image and prestige.

In the end, Wu Minzhi used the time of one puja to ruin it completely.

Only then did Miao Shenke realize his insignificance.

Therefore, the attitude towards Li Yan, who is better than them in terms of background and official rank, is called a warm attitude.

Naturally, Li Yan would not despise this kind of pen think tank, so he asked, "Can Miao Zuorang teach me about the case of Jia Sibo?"

Miao Shenke's official position is Zuo Lang, from the sixth rank, he hurriedly replied: "Li Jiyi is too polite, this official is a bit shallow, but this is not the place to talk..."

Li Yan understood that he was trying to speak ill of someone, so he nodded and said, "Miao Zuorang come to my house, let's talk in detail."

Back at Duke Wei's mansion, Li Yan took Miao Shenke to the side hall and had tea served.

Miao Shenke took a sip and wasn't used to it, but he still drank it with gusto.

Until the servants retreated and there were no outsiders, the North Gate scholar began to speak bluntly: "Li Jiyi wants to interrogate Jia Sibo, and the biggest difficulty in getting information from him is not outside, but Cui Geling, the inner guard."

Li Yan actually didn't want to find a breakthrough from Jia Sibo, but he didn't need to tell this person about it, and raised his brows slightly: "I would like to hear more about it."

Miao Shenke said: "This servant of the Ministry of Punishment has a long history of education, is arrogant, and intends to join the cabinet, but he is a step behind Pei Shangshu."

Pei Sijian, the governor of Liangzhou, has now been promoted to the Minister of the Ministry of War, and is the third rank of the same school as Zhongshu.

In the Tang Dynasty, the three provinces of Zhongshu Province, Menxia Province, and Shangshu Province comprehensively managed government affairs and discussed state affairs.

Zhongshuling, Shizhong and Shangshupushe are the chiefs of these three provinces, that is, the prime ministers.

However, Li Shimin himself had served as a ministerial order. After he became emperor, none of his subjects dared to act as a ministerial order, so the post of ministerial order was vacant, and he was changed to be a senior official of the ministerial office.

So theoretically speaking, in the Tang Dynasty's group minister system, there would be six prime ministers, two Zhongshu Ling, two servants and ministers.

However, the emergence of "Tongzhongshu Menxia Sanpin" means that it is the same as Zhongshu Ling and Shizhong, which makes the position of prime minister much more flexible. Pei Sijian is the Minister of the Ministry of War, and he is also the same as Zhongshu Menxia Sanpin, which is the standard position of prime minister. , has the power to participate in the decisions of the three provinces.

This step is very important. Obviously, his achievements in Liangzhou are the key impetus. If Cui Shouye had set his sights on the position of prime minister early on, but Pei Sijian took the lead, he would naturally be unwilling.

In addition, Cui Shouye was originally the minister of the Ministry of Criminal Justice, and he was the chief officer who presided over the interrogation of Jia Sibo some time ago, but it turned out to be fruitless.
Whether in public or private, Cui Shouye will not let go of this opportunity, and must firmly grasp the value of Jia Sibo in his hands.

"Cui Shouye, that's a good name. His father is the prime minister. He wants to inherit it here!"

After Li Yan understood this relationship, he teased in his heart and asked, "What about Li Geling? Will he stand by Cui Geling's side?"

Li Geling is Li Yiyan, an upright old gentleman, Miao Shenke shook his head and said: "Li Geling will not favor Cui Geling, but he will not favor us either."

Li Yanqi said: "Then only Cui Ge leads one person, can't affect the overall situation?"

Needless to say, Qiu Ying, Pei Xingjian and An Yuanshou are also his contacts among the five cabinet leaders of the inner guard, and Cui Shouye alone...

Miao Shenke smiled wryly: "I'm afraid Li Jiyi doesn't know that among the twelve Jiyi envoys, Cui Geling has a great influence, and maybe half of them are willing to listen to him."

After Li Yan asked carefully, he realized that this guy really should not be underestimated.

Pei Xingjian is the servant of the Ministry of Officials. This kind of official has always been full of peaches and plums, and many talents have been promoted, but among the twelve occasional envoys, there is only one student.

An Yuanshou was born in Zahu, and the An family has great influence in the local area, but he was secretly rejected by Guan Long in the center, and he had no capable cronies.

These two are mainly responsible for leading the troops. Each has an external position to command the army, and the internal guard is an assistant to better grasp intelligence and logistics trends.

Calculated in this way, the current two big mountains in the inner guard, one is Qiu Ying, and the other is Cui Shouye.

It is true that Qiu Ying is an old man in the inner guard, and later recommended two candidates for opportunity, and Li Zhi accepted them both, showing his trust, but there were only two of them.

Compared to Qiu Xinggong's feud, Cui Shouye's father, Cui Dunli, was good at management, and the connections he left behind were much stronger.

There are a total of six Ji Yi envoys, five-rank important officials, who have a lot of connections with him, including Xi Ma Doujing from the former Eastern Palace.

"Another Wu Minzhi..."

Li Yan was not in a hurry.

As the saying goes, if you don't want to be strong, he didn't intend to take credit for interrogating Jia Sibo, so he naturally took it easy.

Find out who is behind Jasper, the answer is more important than the process.

Just kill that traitor and make sure you don't get stabbed in the back. Cui Shouye desperately wants to fight for the credit for the interrogation process, so let it go.

Working under Li Zhi, he looks good at dancing with long sleeves and looks powerful, let's see if the inner guard of Plum Blossom can mess with you!

Of course, after meeting Empress Wu just now, and Empress Wu sent all her close relatives to assist her, Li Yan couldn't put on a fish-fishing gesture, and his brows showed a serious expression: "It seems that he has the advantage!"

But Miao Shenke smiled and said, "Li Jiyi doesn't have to worry. If Cui Geling wants to fight again, he still needs to pry the prisoner Jia Sibo's mouth open. He is greedy for merit and has already made a bad plan in the Liangzhou case."

Li Yan thought of Empress Wu saying that his news was late, and his heart skipped a beat. This time he was really serious: "What is Cui Geling going to do?"

Miao Shenke changed his title, and his tone was ironic: "Cui Shilang ordered that all the important criminals related to Wuwei Jia's family be detained in Beijing!"

Li Yan frowned: "A major offender? Jia Sibo hasn't explained yet. The Jia family in Wuwei can implicate tens of thousands of people. How can we tell who is a major criminal?"

Miao Shenke said: "What Cui Shilang means is to deal with it strictly, to serve as an example to others, and to convict everyone!"

Li Yan's complexion changed: "Is this true? The Jia family provided Jia Sibo with shelter, sealed his house, and the main criminal was inspected and exiled. There are so many contacts, once all of them are implicated, if they are instigated by people with good intentions, the consequences will be unimaginable! At this juncture of our war with Tubo, if we are so eager to uproot a local clan and cause border instability, who will bear the responsibility?"

Miao Shenke sneered: "Never mind, Cui Shilang was in a hurry, so he put on such a decisive attitude! Moreover, dealing with a group of rebels caused chaos in the local area. Doesn't it mean that Pei Shangshu's former governor of Liangzhou was not so good?" His merits can also be used as an excuse for criticism..."

Li Yan put down the teacup.

Miao Shenke was unlikely to lie about this matter, and his heart finally became angry.

The worries at the time were true. This group of selfish officials messed up, and the people who died were all from the lower ranks. They patted their buttocks, and they still held high positions.

Once chaos broke out in Liangzhou, the impact would be huge, and it was only used as a tool for political struggle. If it was serious, would someone like Cui Shouye still want to be prime minister?
On the contrary, Li Yan's expression became more and more calm, and he asked, "Has this matter been implemented?"

Miao Shenke shook his head: "Pei Shangshu sternly objected, and the sage also had concerns about this and did not agree. Cui Shilang suggested that Jia Sibo's relatives should be taken to the capital first. Counting the days, it should be there, but if Jia Sibo keeps silent In other words, the catastrophe that will affect the whole family is just around the corner."

"That means there is still a chance!"

Li Yan nodded slowly: "In any case, the Wuwei Jia family can't move at all until my Great Tang defeats Tubo!"

Seeing the firmness in Li Yan's eyebrows, Miao Shenke was a little surprised.

He used to divide the power of the prime minister, and he could clearly see the face of the so-called prime minister in the Zhengshitang.

Remove the halo of power, in fact, that's all there is to it. The concern for the local area is far less than the concern for the power of the central government.

How many people can't understand the harm of uprooting the Wuwei Jia family this time?
Many things are not as simple as happy and enmity, especially when governing local clans, we must be more cautious.

But in order to fight for power and profit, how many people really care about the life and death of the people in Bianzhou?

Instead, he arrested Jia Sibo with his own hands. Logically speaking, Li Yan, who had already formed a deadly enmity with Jia, prepared to protect him.

Miao Shenke was a little impressed, but worried that he would ruin Empress Wu, so he hurriedly asked, "What is Li Jiyi going to do?"

Li Yan said: "I'm going to meet Jia Sibo."

Miao Shenke said: "I know that Li Jiyi has good intentions, but this son doesn't necessarily understand. I even heard that because of his failure in the imperial examination, he was filled with resentment, and became so mad that he wanted to cause chaos in Longyou. In case... ..."

Li Yan continued his words: "In case this person would rather kill the whole family, he should also vent his anger, right? This is indeed the worst plan, but if this is the case, it means that Jia Sibo will not open his mouth no matter what. Try Not a single loss."

Miao Shenke nodded: "That's true."

Li Yan has always acted vigorously, never procrastinating, and got up directly: "Then I will go, Lao Miao Zuorang, wait a moment, if there is any situation, we will discuss it."

"Good! Good!"

Miao Shenke got up quickly, watched Li Yan's tall and straight back leave, and sighed: "You are young, and you are in a high position, it is indeed not a fluke!"

……

Li Yan came to the imperial city and headed for the inner guard.

Jia Sibo is a wanted offender, even if he is, it is impossible to meet him casually, he must go through the formalities.

In fact, Jia Sibo was about to be transferred to the inner guard for interrogation, so he was not in a hurry to see him.

But since Miao Shenke gave this news, it means that the Ministry of Punishment is likely to go crazy in the last time.

Communications in this era are always lagging behind. Once Li Zhizhen agrees, the Ministry of Criminal Justice will order the Wuwei Jia family to be sent to Beijing, and Li Yan will not be able to stop it even if he wants to.

"I'm really not afraid of opponents like gods, but teammates like pigs!"

Li Yan walked in, just in time to see Di Renjie's fat body, and said, "Huaiying, why haven't you got off work yet?"

Di Renjie greeted her with a bit of embarrassment on Yuanyuan's face: "Li Jiyi, I want to see what else needs to be done..."

It's past noon, and it's time for fun. Most of the officials from various departments in the imperial city have returned home or gone to accept the test.

Di Renjie didn't have such a leisurely treatment in Bingzhou. The workload of the county lieutenant was very heavy, so he was not used to it.

Li Yan looked at Di Renjie and sighed silently.

I am the king of false papers, and I feel tired after working for an hour a day. You are really amazing!

When Di Renjie was the prime minister of Dali Temple, he was stuck in prison at the age of [-], what is the concept?
It's not that no one can do [-] cases of personal interrogation a year.

Instead, review the process results of the cases to see if there are any omissions and mistakes, and [-] cases have been settled in this way.

It's not easy. On average, more than [-] cases have to be verified a day. Such a workload is scary when you think about it.

Otherwise, it wouldn't be "detention in prison", and it would have been taken care of by others long ago.

Thinking of this, Li Yan felt amused, and suddenly felt that Di Pangpang was by his side, so he felt a little relieved, and waved his hand:
"Huaiying, you don't have to waste your time here, come with me, we will work together to solve the case!"
