Start with detective Li Yuanfang

Chapter 130 Are you messing with me?

"Ming Chongyan's martial arts is definitely in the ranks of the strong, and his master is not bad."

"Such a person, not only did he not catch the murderer, but he also had a shadow in the Jiangnan murder case, so that he vomited blood and died?"

"Is the murderer who was not caught six years ago the same person as the murderer who poisoned this time?"

"Why did the Criminal Ministry keep that case secret?"

"What's the relationship with Jia Sibo who is far away in Liangzhou?"

Li Yan rode on the lion horse, while escorting the prisoner and the evidence, he walked slowly while thinking silently.

As he said to Li Qiao, the current doubts are not decreasing, but increasing.

But this is good for solving the case.

The more doubts, the more clues, the closer to the truth.

What I am most afraid of is a problem that cannot be solved by life or death.

"Liulang, something is wrong ahead!"

Just as he was thinking, Qiu Shenji suddenly rode his horse to the side and said in a low voice.

Li Yan looked up and saw a group of people waiting in front of Hanguang's gate.

"Huang Jiyi?"

Huang Zhen, who is the leader, is an old man in his fifties with a rigid face and serious eyes, and he is one of the twelve internal guards.

Everyone's face was dark, knowing that the person who came was not kind, because this person was a doctor of the Ministry of Punishment, and he was Cui Shouye's confidant and backbone.

Sure enough, when Huang Zhen saw the crowd coming, he didn't even intend to greet him. He didn't bow his hands to Li Yan until he was in front of him: "Li Jiyi, this old man is here to take over the key criminal."

Li Yan's eyes narrowed, and Huang Zhen's face changed slightly with the sharp and cold light displayed for a moment, and he subconsciously grasped the weapon.

But when he was ready to fight, Li Yan's expression had returned to calm, and he asked, "Where is Cui Geling?"

Huang Zhen said: "Cui Geling is facing the saint in the Zichen Hall."

Li Yan asked again: "Did Ge Cui decide on the interrogation plan?"

Huang Zhen reacted very quickly, and immediately realized that the question could not be answered, so he took out the document directly: "Li Jiyi, here is the document, give me the prisoner and the evidence!"

Li Yan took the document.

Seeing Huang Zhen's Wu Dewei approaching on horseback, Qiu Shenji and Wang Xiaojie became anxious: "Liu Lang!"

Li Yan only glanced at the words on the document, but carefully touched the seal that symbolized the collar of the Neiwei Pavilion, and found that it had been done a long time ago, obviously it was not just stamped, a sneer appeared from the corner of his mouth.

Huang Zhen, on the other hand, relied on the authority to crush the person to death, and urged: "Cui Geling is in charge of the internal torture matters, and the procedures are complete. Li Jiyi just hand over the person, why are you still hesitating!"

Li Yan nodded: "From the point of view of internal security regulations, there is no problem, I will give you the prisoner..."

Huang Zhen breathed a sigh of relief, but his face suddenly changed.

Because Li Yan went on to say: "But it is obvious that Song Yuanwai went to inform the news. You came here temporarily to grab credit. I will publicize this matter. If you are all like you, no one in the inner guard will dare to do practical things in the future, waiting to rob colleagues. The credit is!"

The inner guards under Huang Zhen's command changed color one after another, some were ashamed, some were angry, Huang Zhen was furious: "You! How dare you question Cui Geling!"

Li Yanqi said: "When did I question Cui Geling? I questioned you!"

Huang Zhen choked, immediately avoided the topic, and scolded: "Li Yuanfang, don't mess around and disturb the law of the internal guards!"

Knowing that he couldn't go on, he quickly waved his hand and let his subordinate Wu Dewei forcefully push Dou Decheng's prison cart over.

Qiu Shenji and Wang Xiaojie's faces were ashen, but they could only back away, but Dou Decheng shouted anxiously: "Li Jiyi, I am willing to let you interrogate! You interrogate!"

Although Dou Decheng deeply hated Li Yan's vigorous and resolute actions, he came directly to get the stolen goods, but he could also see that this person was more reasonable, and he really wanted to investigate the case.

But if it falls into the hands of other officials, it may not be so.

Especially in such an important case, it is difficult to get away with an innocent person, let alone someone like him...

Li Yan was indifferent to Dou Decheng's shrill cry, but when it was Yundan's turn to provide evidence, he said, "Leave a box, I want to investigate the case!"

Those martial arts guards under Huang Zhen's command dared not question it, so they hurriedly left a box, pushed Dou Decheng and other pills, and returned behind Huang Zhen.

"Li Jiyi is indeed young and energetic, I learned the lesson today!"

Huang Zhen won the prisoner, so he didn't say much, he hurriedly dropped a scene, and walked away flattering his horse.

"Incompetent bungler!"

Li Yan watched the group leave, shook his head, and turned to Li Qiao who was behind: "Has Li Shaofu changed his mind?"

Li Qiaoce stepped forward immediately, but instead strengthened his determination, he cupped his hands and said, "We are willing to watch and help each other with Li Jiyi to overcome difficulties, our two families should move around more..."

Li Yan was stunned for a moment, then thought about it, yes, the Li family in Longxi is exactly the five surnames in Shandong.

Longxi naturally belonged to Guanlong, but during the Southern and Northern Dynasties, the ancestor Li Bao moved his family to Shandong, and later generations classified the Li family of Longxi into five surnames and seven families, and they were also among the Shandong gentry.

However, at this time, the Li family in Longxi was widely regarded as a member of Guanlong, because of the existence of Li Jing, Li Keshi, Li Daliang and other meritorious service in the early Tang Dynasty. The royal family is still part of the Li family in Longxi, and everyone knows the reason, so they are very proficient in jumping left and right.

There are still many examples of this kind. Officials of the Manchu Dynasty seem to have [-]% of Guanlong, more than [-]% of Shandong, and not even [-]% of Jiangnan.

Li Yan is not interested in this kind of family position, so it is fine to ask him to help a group of Duke Wei, but don't think about anything else, he said perfunctorily, "It's easy to say!"

However, Li Qiao came over, with a much more friendly attitude: "We can ask Li Shilang to come forward and get the case file of the Ministry of Criminal Justice..."

Li Yan knew that he was talking about Li Jingxuan, and wondered: "Li Shilang will make great efforts?"

Li Qiao smiled and said: "Li Shilang is the patriarch of my Li family in Zhaojun. His son Sichong is talented and beautiful, and he is a close friend with me. He can still talk to me."

"Sichong is okay..."

Li Yan couldn't help laughing, and said politely: "Li Shilang has a lot of things to do every day, so don't bother him with such trivial matters, let's go!"

A few years later in Li Jingxuan's history, he was beaten to the ground by Tubo, and almost killed [-] troops. Li Yan really didn't like this man, and he didn't want to owe this favor, and it would be difficult to repay it in the future.

"All right!"

Li Qiao felt a little regretful, looked at Li Yan, and thought silently in his heart: "Li Yuanfang has a sacred heart and is a genius. If there are girls of the right age in the clan, they must be arranged!"

After all, Li Jingxuan is old, and he doesn't know how many years he will live. Compared with this young fifth-rank official, the future is more guaranteed.

This is what Dou Shi thought of going together.

I wish I could marry a woman with five surnames! (X)

I wish I could marry Li Yuanfang! (√)

Li Yan didn't know that he was about to become the top player in the marriage and love market, and he was still telling Qiu Shenji and Wang Xiaojie: "You go back to the inner guards and keep an eye on them, don't let those people who are eager to grab merits mess around, but don't confront the Shangguan face to face, otherwise it is a reasonable thing It will also become unreasonable, understand?"

Wang Xiaojie nodded again and again, and Qiu Shenji knew what was going on: "Don't worry Liu Lang, we will pay attention!"

Li Yan nodded, said goodbye in front of the imperial city gate, and left for Daming Palace.

Show the fish talisman, submit the application, and get a quick reply: "The sage's decree, Xuan Liyan, Li Qiao, Li Qianru, see you at the Zichen Palace!"

Guided by the servants, the three of them came all the way to Zichen Hall.

This time the hall was quite lively, with six veterans sitting on their knees, all looking over with unison.

Li Qiao and Li Qianru were very nervous, their bodies were tense and their steps were stiff, but they couldn't hide their excitement.

On weekdays, they are at court meetings at most, standing among the officials, but they are not qualified to come to Zichen Palace.

Those who can meet the sage here are either prime ministers who have joined the cabinet to discuss the general trend of the world, or the confidants of the sage are summoned by special permission.

Indeed, the six people in the hall at this time are the four cabinet ministers who are discussing with the sage, and the two six ministers.

Dai Zhide, Shangshu Youpushe, Prince's guest.

Hao Chujun, Huangmen Shilang (Men Xiashilang).

Li Jingxuan, the Minister of Xitai (the Minister of Zhongshu), the Minister of the Ministry of Officials.

Pei Sijian, Minister of the Ministry of War, Prince Zuo Shuzi.

These are the four prime ministers of the current dynasty, the third rank of Tong Zhongshu.

There is no doubt that Pei Sijian, who is in the last aspect, has the least power.

Although there is the position of Minister of the Ministry of War, it is difficult to distribute the power of the three provinces from the three veteran prime ministers, and there are two ministers of the Ministry of War to hinder him.

It is not easy to sit firmly.

Even so, it is a supreme honor to enter the Political Affairs Hall.

Just like the other two six ministers.

Cui Shouye, Minister of the Ministry of Punishments, is the leader of the Neiwei Pavilion.

Pei Xingjian, Minister of the Ministry of Officials, and leader of the Neiwei Pavilion.

Not to mention that Cui Shouye was extremely envious of the position of prime minister, even Pei Xingjian wanted to be the prime minister.

Because of this, Cui Shouye and Pei Xingjian were the most active when the sage recruited them into the palace to discuss how to calm the impact of the imperial examination drug case and avoid similar things from happening.

As a result, the matter had just reached more than half of the discussion, and the servant came to report.

Li Zhi's city mansion showed obvious astonishment, then beamed with joy, and said with a light smile: "Everyone can relax a bit!"

Cui Shouye smiled and said, "What is the happy event that makes the sage Long Yan very happy?"

Li Zhidao: "The case happened last night, and it was less than six hours ago. Li Yuanfang actually found the trace of the poison pill, obtained the criminal evidence, and arrested the suspect!"

Cui Shouye's smile slowly disappeared.

Li Zhi was obviously really happy this time, so he added: "As expected of a detective, good! Good!"

Empress Wu was also very pleasantly surprised, but when she thought of Li Zhi's attitude last night, she hurriedly said softly: "Your Majesty's insightful eyes, you have seen the potential of this son early on, and you can reuse it to have today's ability."

Li Zhi patted his wife's hand: "The queen is optimistic about this son, I know it, don't worry, I will not snatch your favorite general."

Empress Wu's smile became softer: "Your Majesty, why did you say that? The whole concubine belongs to His Majesty, so why should I love my servants?"

Li Zhi laughed: "What the queen said is true, what the queen said is true!"

The six courtiers listened to the empress' teasing, which seemed true and false, and hurriedly watched the case, but couldn't help paying attention to the progress of the case.

Therefore, when the three of Li Yan entered the hall, six pairs of eyes looked over at the same time.

The pressure from those two strangers was great, but Li Yan was already familiar with it, and it wasn't the first time he came back, so he came down the steps to salute.

"No gift, give a seat!"

Li Zhi waited for the palace maid to bring a soft blanket, let Li Yan sit down on his knees, and couldn't wait to ask: "Yuan Fang, where is the prisoner, what did he explain?"

Li Yandao: "The prisoner was handed over by Huang Jiyi, and will be interrogated by Cui Ge!"

Li Zhi suddenly looked at Cui Shouye.

Cui Shouye's smile froze completely.
