Start with detective Li Yuanfang

Chapter 283 I Learned to Answer Quickly! (Congratulations to the leader "on the road")

After figuring out the motive, Li Yan asked the Zheng brothers and sisters to write a letter, explaining the cause and effect to Governor Zheng in detail, while he returned to the main hall.

All the scribes still sat withered, under the oppressive atmosphere, they had to hold back their urine.

Only Gong Siguang walked around arrogantly like a crab, asking questions one by one.

Li Yan looked at this dude, his eyes moved slightly: "Gong Wulang, come."

Gong Siguang rushed over immediately: "Li Jiyi, I haven't asked about that matter yet."

Li Yandao: "It's okay, I have two news here, one good news and one bad news, which one do you want to hear first?"

Gong Siguang hesitated for a moment: "I like to hear the good news first."

Li Yandao: "The good news is that the murderer has basically been identified."

Gong Siguang immediately asked: "Who is it?"

Li Yandao: "That's bad news. Judging from the current clues, Gong Qilang is very likely to be the poisoner."

Gong Siguang was stunned at first: "He poisoned him? Why? He has no enmity with Zheng Wenming. Zheng Wenming is really going to die, so the governor Zheng must skin him?"

Then he suddenly realized why this was bad news, swallowed his saliva, and hurriedly said: "Li Jiyi, Gong Taoguang is a side branch, what he does has nothing to do with us!"

Li Yandao: "I still say that, I can't write two characters of bow in one stroke. Does what Gong Taoguang does really have nothing to do with you?"

Gong Siguang's complexion changed, especially when he thought of what his second brother said in the daytime: "You all go out like this, there will always be a day of disaster for your family!"

He was terrified and annoyed at the same time: "Bangzhi is used to doing mischief outside, my second brother runs the family rigorously, if he knew, he would definitely be kicked out of the house!"

Li Yan's face was flat: "That's the case, but now that things have happened, what do you think should be done?"

Gong Siguang made a decisive decision: "How about I kill my relatives righteously?"

Li Yan: "..."

Learn to answer quickly!

By the way, can this kind of thing be answered quickly?

To be honest, when he first came up with this idea, he wasn't sure if it could be realized, but this guy took the initiative to propose it, which really surprised him: "Have you thought about it? You want to arrest your clan brother yourself?"

He felt weird, Gong Siguang looked at him, his eyes were also weird: "Li Jiyi, are your brothers and sisters in your family very harmonious?"

Li Yan was too embarrassed to tell the truth, and said perfunctorily, "Well, they're all very friendly."

He doesn't have much contact with those cheap brothers, so naturally there will be no conflicts.

As for the brothers of the family, I'm sorry, I haven't seen them, maybe they are friendly.

Gong Siguang enviously said: "That's really good, but it's a pity that our Gong family has too much internal fighting!"

"Especially those people in the side branch, they obviously don't work, but they are very jealous of what I got from the main branch, they are doing everything behind their backs!"

"Just talk about that Gong Taoguang, don't listen to his fifth elder brother and fifth elder brother calling him affectionate. I was arrested and imprisoned a few years ago, and I almost couldn't get out. Nine out of ten is the trick used by this thief!"

Li Yan asked: "After all, you are a family, and the family is still developing. What is the purpose of this?"

Gong Siguang sneered: "Short-sighted people, in order to get more benefits, the family must use human hands to do things after all, they wish that the people in the main line will be unlucky, and have to use side branches to do everything they can. Go fight with outsiders, I don't think they have the ability!"

"They really dare to compete with the common people, and even dare to occupy the fields of Baiqi, how audacious!"

Li Yan said coldly in his heart, and roughly understood the disadvantages of the local wealthy families, and the contradictions between the main line and the side branches were almost difficult to reconcile.

Don't worry about scarcity but unevenness. If you take too much from the main artery, the side branches are envious and want to get more.

Some main veins are magnanimous and distribute a lot to the side branches. As a result, people are greedy and ask for more.

Some mainlines are stingy, the mainline eats meat, and they are not even willing to give some soup to the side branches, let alone, there are quite a few people who are in conflict with each other.

The Gar family in Tubo is an example. The five Qinling brothers were extremely united, but they refused to benefit the side branches. In the end, the royal family provoked them, and the side branches directly assassinated them.

As for the real noble families, the solution is to divide the house.

For example, the Li family in Longxi, the Yang family in Hongnong, and the Wei family in Jingzhao, which one is not a dozen or so big houses, are blooming everywhere.

Once they are separated and independent, not only the conflicts between them will be greatly reduced, but they will also support each other and continue to expand their influence.

The Li family in the world came out of Longxi precisely because of the influence of Li in Longxi. Even after Li Yuan became emperor, he used the Li family of Longxi to elevate his family background and flaunt his ancestors as nobles. In fact, he might be a low-level leader of the uprising .

Apparently, the Gong family didn't have the background of the major families, the branches of the main veins were gathered together, and they were fighting endlessly.

In response to this situation, Li Yan simply said: "Since you have made up your mind, follow me."

He swept his eyes across the hall and walked forward.

Gong Siguang followed nervously, and found that Li Yan was searching around, looking for those corners where things could be hidden.

After a while, he stopped in front of the cabinet in the southeast corner, sniffed his nose lightly, and said, "Do you still remember that I asked Gong Taoguang to deliver a letter to the Governor's Mansion just now, and he didn't want to leave?"

Gong Siguang nodded: "I remember, I thought there was something wrong with this son of a bitch who was lingering and refusing to leave."

Li Yan said: "Go down and feel it, there should be evidence."

Gong Siguang squatted down, reached out his hand to dig under the cabinet, and actually took out a small packet of medicine powder, his complexion changed slightly: "Is this the poison that Zheng Guangming poisoned?"

Li Yan nodded: "That's right, he's going to take advantage of the chaos and put it on Miss Zheng as evidence."

Since he didn't know the exact cause and effect, Gong Siguang felt it was ridiculous: "Miss Zheng? Ah yes, she is going to be married again. Naturally, she doesn't want my brother to accept prostitutes at this time and ruin the family style, but even so, let Zheng be poisoned." Light? Who would believe that..."

Li Yandao: "The real blaming doesn't need to be completely reasonable, as long as there is an obvious motive. You don't think it's credible, and if it spreads, most people will believe it."

"But Gong Taoguang obviously miscalculated. Mr. Zheng didn't die, and Mrs. Zheng beat Mrs. Yan again. Afterwards, he followed her brother all the time. He had no chance to strike, and he was even more afraid of body searches, so he took advantage of the chaos and simply Throw away the medicine bag."

Gong Siguang frowned: "But this way, it's really troublesome. We can't prove that this medicine bag belongs to the grandson. At that time, everyone left the table, and anyone may take advantage of the chaos to go here." leave."

Li Yan nodded: "That's right, but this poison definitely has a history, it's not something you can get casually in the market, it's already a key piece of evidence, take it carefully, it's what you searched for."

Gong Siguang was a little flattered: "Thanks to Li Jiyi! Don't say it, it's quite a pleasure to find the criminals to solve the case. They used to be afraid of me on the surface and looked down on me secretly, but now they are really afraid of me. Already!"

Li Yan smiled: "This feeling is really good. Not only can we solve the case this time, find out the truth, but also save the victim in time and save a tragedy. This is a more fulfilling thing."

"Come on, let's go to the next place."

Li Yan found a fake mother: "You will supervise each other with the scribes at the banquet, and no one is allowed to leave here. If there is any accident, you will be responsible, understand?"

The false mother responded repeatedly: "Yes! Yes! Please rest assured Li Langjun! We will definitely keep a close eye on it!"

After finishing the order, Li Yan walked out with Gong Siguang, the servant brought the lion horse and the green horse from the stable, and they got on the horse.

After exiting the alley, determine the destination: "Go to Zheng's Mansion."

Gong Siguang wondered: "Shouldn't Governor Zheng come to our side now? After all, that son of a bitch has already delivered the letter!"

Li Yan laughed: "Why are you still an elder? But Governor Zheng may not come, Gong Taoguang may or may not have been delivered."

It sounds like nonsense at first, but after thinking about it, Gong Siguang thinks it makes sense: "What Li Jiyi means is that the son of a bitch has a guilty conscience and deliberately delayed?"

Li Yandao: "Your Gong family's residence is also in Guangdaofang, right? If Gong Taoguang has a guilty conscience, he may go back to Gong's residence first, consult with someone, and then go to Zheng's residence to call for help."

Gong Siguang changed color: "Then let's go quickly, we can't let him harm the whole clan!"

The two of them worked hard, even though there was a curfew outside, but relying on Gong Siguang to brush their faces, they still arrived in Fangshi smoothly.

When he arrived at Zheng's private room, Li Yan took out the fish talisman from his waist, and handed it to the servant: "I am Li Yuanfang, the envoy of Internal Guard, and I have something urgent to see Zheng Gong, so please go and report it."

After receiving the fish talisman, the servant didn't dare to neglect, and immediately went to the mansion.

And Gong Siguang looked at the other servant: "Did Gong Taoguang come here just now?"

The servants looked at each other, a little hesitant.

Gong Siguang was furious: "I'm asking people from my Gong family, not about your family's affairs. Are you dumb? Answer!!"

The servant hurriedly replied: "Gong Qilang did come just now and said he wanted to see Alang, but it was late at night and Alang had already fallen asleep, so he left after waiting for a while."

Gong Siguang gritted his teeth, and his eyes became ferocious: "Okay! This is really a thief! If I want to hurt the whole family, I must kill my relatives right now!"

The mansion quickly reacted, the lights were turned on, and as the two teams of servants holding lanterns stood on the left and right, an old man in purple robes strode out.

With a beautiful beard, neat official robes, piercing eyes, and a meticulous body, Zheng Rentong, the governor of Luozhou, gave people the first impression that he was serious and rigid. Ordinary people would feel awkward standing in front of him, fearing that there would be some impoliteness. place.

Seeing that Li Yan didn't hold the banner, Zheng Rentong immediately stopped in front of Zhu's gate, nodded and said, "Li Jiyi!"

Li Yan took the initiative to step forward, saluted and said: "Zheng Inspector!"

For him, Zheng Rentong is not well-known, but this man's elder brother Zheng Rentai is quite powerful. He participated in the Xuanwu Gate Change, attacked Goryeo, pacified Tie Le, and Xue Rengui's three arrows to Tianshan. Zheng Rentai is Xue Rengui's boss .

Later, he served as the governor of Liangzhou. When Tuyuhun was subjugated, Murong Nuohebo and Princess Honghua fled to Datang. It was Zheng Rentai who led the army to respond to prevent Tubo from attacking.

After he died of illness seven years ago, Pei Sijian took over as governor of Liangzhou.

Zheng Rentong also became the governor of Luozhou at that time, and Li Zhi still had a wooing attitude towards the Shandong gentry, and the arrangements made by the officials were quite intentional.

Therefore, Zheng Rentong is also a standard emperor's party. At this time, he hurried out of the palace, saluted and cut straight to the point: "Li Jiyi is visiting late at night, what's the matter?"

Li Yan looked at this purple-robed official with a hint of hostility, and said a familiar opening line: "What I'm going to say next, please don't get excited..."
