Start with detective Li Yuanfang

Chapter 134 Sure enough!
Based on the cognition of later generations, Li Yan believes that capitalists' desire for profit will break through the bottom line without principle.

Therefore, it is not unusual for people like Dou Decheng to sell Yundan knowing the risks.

But at this time, as the case progressed, after looking back and re-examining it, he felt that he might have preconceived it.

Li Yandao: "We need to re-investigate what kind of person Dou Decheng is. Yuan Zhen, you go and let the gods come to the inner guard."

Guo Yuanzhen got up and went out, quickly brought a sense of peace of mind.

An Shengan took care of An Zhongjing in the dormitory during this time, Li Yan first asked with concern: "How is Zhongjing doing now?"

An Shen said: "The doctor Chen's diagnosis is correct, the ninth brother is fine, and he can recover after a good rest."

Li Yan breathed a sigh of relief: "That's good."

An Shen felt lifted up: "Liulang, I heard that you have caught the suspect? Did you find out why you poisoned him?"

Li Yan explained the ins and outs of the matter, and finally said: "We don't have a comprehensive understanding of the Dou's Chamber of Commerce. You are familiar with the Hu merchant association in the West Market. Through those people, you can help us understand what kind of business Dou Decheng really is. style."

An Shen nodded: "Okay, I'll do it now!"

Wuwei An's is entrenched in Liangzhou and holds the throat of the trade route. Hu merchants are naturally very flattering to An's, so asking this matter is a piece of cake.

An Shen left, Li Yan let Di Renjie and Guo Yuanzhen continue to study the case files, Peng Botong continued to cook, and he went to the inner prison.

He wanted to see with his own eyes what kind of support group Dou Jing pulled.

"Cui Shilang! Cui Shilang!!"

Sure enough, opportunities are reserved for those who are prepared. Before reaching the gate of the inner prison, Li Yan saw Cui Shouye coming in a hurry, and immediately greeted him from afar.

Cui Shouye pretended not to hear him, ignored him, quickened his pace, and entered the inner prison.

"It's impolite!"

Li Yan was overjoyed magnanimously, and deliberately slowed down before walking in.

Compared with Dali Temple Prison, the inner prison is more spacious, the environment is more outstanding, and the torture instruments are more complete.

Dou Decheng was imprisoned in the innermost place, as if the prisoners he arrested basically enjoyed this top-level treatment.

At this time, just halfway through the aisle, you can see more than [-] people standing in front of you.

"This lineup!"

Li Yan swept his eyes and was a little shocked.

Out of the twelve envoys, eight came, and the rest were all outstanding Wu Dewei.

There are two distinct sides.

On one side is the support team brought by Dou Jing.

On the other side were Cui Shouye's confidant Huang Zhen and his allies.

There is no need to make an alliance, there is only one person standing beside Huang Zhen.

Zheng Jing, a doctor of the Ministry of War.

This person was the backbone promoted by Prime Minister Cui Dunli back then. He once followed Cui Dunli on his missions to Turks, Tiele and other northern tribes and made great achievements. Later, he was also in the army when Xue Yantuo was destroyed.

With Cui's support over the years, he has gradually risen to the position of military doctor, with a bright future.

So it was no surprise that Zheng Jing was on Huang Zhen's side.

But what is very surprising is that another opportunity makes Dou Lu look forward to standing side by side with Dou Jing.

This person's eldest daughter married Cui Shouye's fourth son as his wife. The two parties are in-laws, and they have always been in close contact and have similar political views.

It makes no sense to help Dou Jing.

Even Li Yan was so surprised, let alone Cui Shouye.

The old servant's gaze was cold, and he stared at Dou Luqin intently, with a grim expression on his face.

Dou Luqinwang avoided his eyes and did not dare to meet his gaze, but his attitude was still clear.

"Cui Shilang!"

The others said hello one after another, and then showed teasing expressions.

Huang Zhen, Zheng Jing, and Dou Lu Qinwang, these three envoys are Cui Shouye's staunch supporters.

In fact, the other three people, including Dou Jing, were also supportive.

With this foundation, Cui Shouye believes that he is the well-deserved number one among the five chief cabinet leaders.

The inner guard is the stepping stone for meritorious service, and there must be a chance to flex its muscles when conquering Tubo.

As a result, I haven't set out yet, and there are no people...

What about the opportunity?Why do I have so many opportunities under my command?
"Hey!"

It's so hard to die, there was a clear snickering sound behind him.

Cui Shouye's face was livid, and he clenched his fists.

Although he was extremely shocked, he didn't lose his mind. Knowing that he couldn't get entangled with Li Yan, who was watching the excitement at this time, he collected himself, looked at Dou Jing, and said coldly: "Dou Jiyi, you are guilty!"

Dou Jing became angry, raised her neck, and said with a straight face: "Cui Geling, I am aggrieved for my father. I don't know what crimes I have committed? It's you, don't bring what the Ministry of Punishment did to the inner guard!"

Cui Shouye sternly scolded: "Presumptuous! You obstruct the interrogation, do you have the idea of ​​loyalty to the emperor in your heart? You contradict the superior, do you have the court's law in your heart? How absurd it is to pretend to be a filial piety here, come on, give me this son Down!!"

Dou Jing's complexion changed, and she hurriedly shouted: "Don't bully me, I'm about to tell the sage that my father is no better than Jia Tie, who has been specially trained as a spy and can withstand severe torture, my father is just an ordinary person, Are you interrogating in this way to get the truth, or to create a story about torture?"

This is very reasonable, but it should be said first. At this time, Cui Shouye pretended not to hear, and the people behind him had already rushed out.

Seeing that Dou Jing was about to be forcibly taken down, Dou Luqin, with long beard, took a step forward, stood in front of Dou Jing, and said, "Wait a minute!"

Those people didn't dare to use force on this one, so they had to stop. Cui Shouye looked at this in-law, his eyes almost burst into flames: "What do you want to say about Doulu Jiyi?"

Dou Lu Qinwang no longer avoided his eyes, and said in a calm tone: "What the sage wants is the real culprit, to give an explanation to the poisoned scholar, not twisted lies after torture to extract a confession, Cui Geling, please think twice!"

The same words, spoken by different people, obviously have different effects.

As soon as Dou Lu Qinwang finished speaking, the other envoys echoed.

Cui Shouye retorted: "According to everyone's opinion, what should we do? Reason with Bandit Dou and let him confess the crime of beheading?"

Dou Luqinwang said: "It's not necessary, it's just that there are quite a lot of doubts in this case, at least we have to ask about the situation before we discuss it. I'm willing to help, catch the real murderer, and make the innocent innocent."

Cui Shouye's tone was cold: "You all mean to participate in the interrogation?"

His eyes were extremely terrifying, and many opportunities made him feel a little timid when he thought of his domineering style.

But I don't know what to think of, and finally Qiqi nodded.

Dou Lu Qinwang looked at Li Yan who was standing not far away: "The prisoner was caught by Li Jiyi, what does Li Jiyi think?"

After the voice fell, everyone's eyes swished over.

At this time, the news in the Zichen Palace had already spread that this holy family was in prosperity, not to mention that Dou Decheng was indeed arrested by him, so he had the most right to speak.

Li Yan's eyes flickered, he walked out, and said seriously: "In principle, I naturally don't agree to extort a confession by torture, but..."

Hearing but, everyone's heart skipped a beat.

Even Cui Shouye stared at Li Yan with flickering eyes.

Li Yan paused: "But there must be a time limit, Director Dou, when you are at the gate of the imperial city, would you like me to interrogate you?"

The second half of the sentence was shouted towards the cell.

And Dou Decheng in the cell has indeed been paying attention to the movements outside.

He was beaten all over his body with cuts and bruises. When did Zhang Shi Dou, who was pampered and pampered on weekdays, suffer such pain and passed out several times due to the pain.

But when it comes to his own life and death, and the rise and fall of his family, he holds on to his breath and will hold on.

Hearing Li Yan's question outside at this moment, Dou Decheng rolled his eyes, but closed his mouth and did not respond.

"Director Dou seems to have fainted, alas!"

Li Yan sighed, and looked at Huang Zhen: "Huang Jiyi was also there at the time, did you hear that?"

Huang Zhen nodded reluctantly: "Not bad."

Li Yandao: "Well, since Director Dou wants me to interrogate, and you all said that he may have grievances, if you can't ask anything within three days, is it reasonable for me to take over?"

Just as Dou Jing wanted to say something, Dou Lu Qinwang shook his head slightly: "What Li Jiyi said is true. After three days, if you can't find out the truth, you will take over."

Cui Shouye's hands trembled violently, took a deep breath, and squeezed out a word with great patience: "Okay!"

Li Yan bowed to everyone: "Now that you are here, I won't join in the fun, so leave!"

Everyone returned their salutes one after another: "Please, Li Jiyi!"

Li Yan bid farewell to Cui Shouye again: "Leader Cui Ge, I take my leave!"

Cui Shouye could no longer pretend not to hear, and could only say: "Li Jiyi, go slowly!"

Li Yan smiled and left casually.

Everyone watched his back, with different moods for a while.

If that step is really reached, among the twelve opportunity envoys, the prestige of this son will really be incomparable for a while.

After leaving the inner prison, the smile on Li Yan's face disappeared, and his expression became serious.

Back at his office, Di Renjie and Guo Yuanzhen greeted him: "Li Jiyi, how is the situation in the inner prison?"

Li Yan roughly described what he had just witnessed, and Guo Yuanzhen was very surprised: "Dou Decheng relies on Yundan, can he really get such clear support?"

Di Renjie's round face also showed confusion, and the Di family in Bingzhou is also a local family, so they naturally understand the temperament of these noble families.

Mrs. Dou has been marrying daughters and giving dowry all day long, but she can't form such a solid relationship, but now she is responding to everyone, just because she sold Yundan?
Li Yan already had a guess in his mind, but he still had to wait for evidence: "Let's wait for the news from Shengan. You have all read the case file, what do you think?"

Di Renjie said: "Just looking at the case files, we can't judge the authenticity. If we can go to Runzhou, we may be able to find out the truth."

Li Yan shook his head: "If you can't go, Your Majesty has a clear focus, and it is impossible to waste a lot of energy on this case."

Di Renjie said: "Then in Chang'an, is it possible to find the relevant person?"

Li Yandao: "The person who knows the most about this matter should be Zhang Yang, a scholar who also came from Runzhou, but he was poisoned and died. For the rest, there must be related people in the huge Chang'an, such as Master Ming of Xuandu Temple. My master is the county captain Facao who was resigned from the government, but unfortunately he has died of illness. The others can be found by slowly searching, but there is still too little time..."

Di Renjie hesitated to speak.

In fact, he thought of a definite person involved, that is, the family members of the criminal in the court.

The wife and daughter of County Magistrate Qi in Dantu County, Runzhou were all punished in the Daming Palace, and they are probably still alive after six years.

If you can ask, it will be very helpful to solve the case.

But this kind of thing is very sensitive, Di Renjie thought over and over again, and decided to find another way, picked up the file and looked for clues again.

Li Yan was also pondering over and over again.

Before I knew it, the sun was setting.

Li Yan got up and moved, his fingers were itchy, and he wanted to go to practice to relax.

This time, it was really hard work for half a day.

Looking at Di Renjie again, still concentrating, Li Yan couldn't help admiring him.

At this moment, An Shengan finally came back, and he said directly after entering, "Liu Lang, I asked many Hu merchants, and they all said that Dou Decheng is bold and careful, he is very measured in his actions, and he is not a greedy person. , Dou’s Chamber of Commerce’s main business is Feiqian, and his risk of selling Yundan is really wrong.”

Li Yan asked: "West merchants are extremely rich, have any of them personally taken Yundan?"

An Shen nodded: "Yes, Hu Shang admired Yundan very much, saying that it has miraculous effects, just like the Western elixir offered by the Western Regions a few years ago."

Li Yan's eyes were fixed: "What's the name of the western elixir?"

An Shen said: "The name is very strange, I can't remember the specifics, but the medicine can cure Chiwo (dysentery) and detoxify. It was very popular at that time."

Di Renjie was proficient in medical skills, and said in amazement: "If it can really cure Chiwo's disease, it is a good medicine!"

Dysentery is an intestinal infectious disease, which will cause continuous diarrhea. The medical conditions in ancient times were not good, and this thing would be fatal. One of the sayings recorded in the history books is that Li Shimin's death was due to dysentery.

But Hu Shang’s treatment conditions are even worse. It’s okay to meet a good doctor, but if you don’t, you can only eat and drink while eating.

Li Yandao: "Speaking of Yundan, how did Hu Shang react after taking it?"

An Shen said: "It was used by Hu Shang's wife. She is seriously ill, and other medicines are useless. Only by taking Yundan can I suppress it."

Li Yandao: "Is there any adverse reaction?"

Anshen thought for a while and said: "He did mention that his wife craves Yundan even more after taking Yundan for a while. Fake……"

These words hit my ears.

The last evidence added.

Li Yan's eyes became extremely fierce:

"it is as expected!"
