Start with detective Li Yuanfang

Chapter 291

Zheng Fu.

Wan'er and the little prince were studying by themselves in the morning, while listening to the movement in the room.

The little prince said softly: "Master is still sleeping, this is the first time I saw him sleeping after staying up late!"

Wan'er said softly: "You think Master is not a human being, everyone needs to rest..."

The little prince said: "That's right, I thought Master was really not human..."

While discussing whether the master is a human or a ghost, Li Yan's angry voice came from inside: "You two are not studying hard, what are you talking about?"

The two immediately lowered their heads, pretending to study.

Li Yan came out, ignored them, went to brush his teeth and wash his face, and began to wait for breakfast.

Wan'er rolled her eyes, came to the back cleverly, and beat his back: "Master, you have worked hard!"

Li Yan laughed: "I am seven years older than you, don't act like you are seventy years older than you, practice hard, and in the future you will be like a master, driving more than a dozen houses in one night, and sweeping away all the thieves!"

Wan'er and the little prince nodded heavily, both showing longing and admiration: "Master is mighty!"

Li Yan did not mean to be complacent: "Facts have proved that I am not invincible yet, and I will be tired, especially after cleaning up more than a dozen houses..."

Last night, he was still able to stroll in the courtyard at first, but when he got to the last few seats, he became red-eyed, and when he saw someone who was about to burn the boat, he drew his knife, and the one who begged for mercy and asked the reason was that the cat died.

Anyway, highlighting one will make the culprit die in peace.

When I returned to my horse after clearing the last house, I also felt exhausted, and only after returning to sleep did I fully recover.

At this moment, Li Yan finished his breakfast, thought of the doubts he discovered last night, and looked at the little prince: "Fu'er, you came to Luoyang earlier, have you ever cared about the slave market?"

The little prince hesitated for a moment, but answered honestly: "To tell the truth, Master, what I care most about is tea and slaves. Tea is rare in Luoyang's market, but there are more slaves..."

Li Yandao: "It doesn't matter, nobles from all over the world have a tradition of keeping slaves. The noble children of the Tang Dynasty always like to show off foreign slaves, and Tuyuhun is also a slavery society. It is very normal for you to want to buy more capable slaves to return to the country. Who are there?"

The little prince is similar to the name of the dish: "Turkic people, Tibetan people, Khitan people, Shiwei people, Uighur people, Dangxiang people, Korean people, Silla people, Japanese people..."

Li Yan asked: "Are there many slaves in Goryeo?"

The little prince thought for a while and said, "Many, most of them were female slaves in Goryeo and Silla. It is said that they are gentle and gentle. They are good candidates for personal maids or singing and dancing kabuki, so they are of high value."

Wan'er rolled her eyes when she heard this, and the little prince hurriedly said, "This is what the merchant said, not mine. I mainly want to buy Tuyuhun slaves and bring them back to the Khanate."

Li Yan praised: "You did a good job. At the end of the Sui Dynasty, the world was in chaos, and the common people could not survive. They would rather go to the Turks as slaves. After Taizong ascended the throne, he spent a lot of money to buy tens of thousands of Han slaves from the Turks and return them to the country. With an example, the population of all parties is talented." Gradually return to household registration."

The little prince smiled wryly: "I, Tuyuhun, don't have the qualifications of the Tang Dynasty. It is impossible for the Tuyuhun people to return voluntarily. Now I can only buy more slaves to go back."

Li Yan asked: "You just said that there are many female slaves in Goryeo, what about the male slaves?"

The little prince was stunned: "Korean male slaves? I haven't heard much about it. The male slaves in Goryeo are probably not as good as others. The Khitan people are worse than the Korean people, and they are probably better than the Japanese people, but I heard that there are People who are very short, adults are just like children, they can juggle for fun..."

Wan'er became curious: "Still as short as a child after an adult? Have you ever seen it with your own eyes?"

The little prince shook his head: "The number of Japanese slaves is very small, I haven't really seen it, I just heard it from the slave master."

The two apprentices discussed Sancunding, Li Yan's eyes moved slightly, and he thought of the Korean survivors among the dead soldiers raised by Gong Siye.

The thieves he killed the most last night were Korean survivors. The proportion of them was too high, which was unusually high, which is why he asked just now.

This might be a clue.

Just thinking about it, he moved his ears, got up and walked out of the room, looking at the sky.

A gallant hawk flew over high above the sky, screaming continuously, looking for the owner's location.

Li Yan jumped up to the roof, climbed up and whistled.

Immediately, the eagle yelled and flew over, and made several dazzling movements before landing on the shoulder.

Li Yan raised his eyebrows: "Yes, it seems that the recovery training that Baiqi gave you is very effective!"

Ying'er heard the words, his eyes showed a bit of fear, and he flapped his wings to please.

Li Yan touched its feathers: "Now you know how powerful it is. I'm not invincible yet. How can you think that you are invincible? A team composed of real elites is enough to shoot you down, and then you have to be good." train!"

Ying'er's arrogance was greatly reduced, and he took the initiative to stretch out his claws, so that Li Yan could see the letter tied to his leg.

Li Yan's eyes were bright, he had seen it a long time ago, and said with a smile: "Sensible, I also know how to work part-time as a carrier pigeon..."

He took down the letter, and after reading it, he was overjoyed: "The military land occupied in Luozhou was indeed done by the Gong family, and now there is evidence!"

Wan'er and the little prince came behind, and the little prince looked at Ying'er with great love, while Wan'er experienced the case of Baiqi's disappearance in the cottage, and said with concern: "Master, those Baiqi's fields can be returned to them." ?"

Li Yandao: "Yes, the children of the Gong family have invaded and occupied the land of the Baiqi army. It has been firmly proved. The land of Baiqi's family will be returned, and they will be compensated accordingly."

Wan'er was happy: "So fast? That's great!"

Li Yan said with a smile: "His Royal Highness has always been decisive, and he will not be vague when he makes a move. He used to suffer from suppression, but now he is really in charge of the country. Baiqi asks him to be the master, and he has found the right person."

"That Gong Siye wanted to burn the Beishi wharf, probably thinking that His Highness the Crown Prince would wait for all the officials to enter Luoyang and settle down before checking the situation of the fields, but he didn't know that all the evidence of the crime was under control and it was over!"

"If he really dares to burn the boats parked at the pier, the entire Gong family will be killed, and none of them will survive."

Wan'er stuck out her tongue, while the little prince wondered: "Master, that Gong Sanlang is so crazy, just to destroy the evidence? Is the evidence really that important? If the crown prince really wants to destroy the Gong family, even if he destroys the evidence, can he destroy the evidence?" avoid it?"

Li Yandao: "Of course it can't be avoided. If he burns the ship with grain and grass, no matter whether there is evidence or not, he will definitely die."

"However, before that, evidence is still important in order to rule the world peacefully. It is for the purpose of stabilizing people's hearts and giving others education and vigilance. Neither is desirable."

"The Gong family has many contacts with various clans in the Guan, and represents the interests of many clans. It is difficult to convince the public if it is taken rashly, so the prince will not wait to enter Luoyang, first please move Duke Pei, let him rule the left and right guards, and take Luozhou directly. Juntian."

"Take down all the criminals who invaded the land, including the county magistrate who deceived the news. With this evidence, all parties have nothing to say. It is up to the prince to decide how to deal with it. This is the kingly way."

The little prince was stunned, and then smiled wryly: "This is also the Tang Dynasty, Tuyuhun is not feasible, the chiefs of the various tribes will kill and seize the lives of the Qiang people, no matter what the evidence is, if you reason with them, they will only think you are weak."

Li Yandao: "This means not being educated, fighting fiercely is not a long-term solution. You can go back and promote Han culture, and select some chiefs who can understand things and do things for you."

The little prince made a note, just as he was about to ask for advice again, he saw Zheng Rentong approaching, and immediately stood aside with Wan'er.

Zheng Rentong nodded slightly to the two children, came to Li Yan, and asked seriously: "Yuan Fang, the old man heard what the government said, you eliminated hundreds of thieves yesterday?"

Li Yan wondered why he should be surprised by this basic operation, nodded and said: "Yesterday we did deal with some thieves, most of them were Koreans and Turks. Although there are many people, they are scattered in various houses, and they are not the elite of the army."

Zheng Rentong was moved by it, fully understood why the assassin was expecting to come, and said sincerely: "Yuanfang doesn't need to be modest, this kind of Liting sweeping acupoints is really a miracle!"

Li Yandao: "Duke Zheng has won the award, please see the letter I just received, Pei Shangshu has arrived."

Zheng Rentong took the letter and read it quickly, and was moved again: "His Royal Highness the Crown Prince is wise, the land felon has been seized, and Pei Shangshu has arrived, the overall situation is settled!"

Pei Sijian, Minister of the Ministry of War, is different from Zheng Rentong, the governor of Luozhou. The governor is the chief executive, and according to the law, he cannot transfer troops. Before Zheng Rentong called the sergeant, it was an act outside his authority. He needed to use the scepter bestowed by the sage. plead guilty.

This is also the reason why it was difficult for him to find out the land even though he had received grievances above, but now that Pei Sijian has arrived, with internal and external cooperation, the overall situation has been settled.

Zheng Rentong: "The evidence of Gong's crime has been determined, and the water transport terminal is safe. We can surround Gong's mansion and take down the leader of the thief!"

Li Yan knew that this man hated Gong Siye who ordered the poisoning of his only son long ago.

And why didn't he have the heart to kill that villain who wanted to burn the water transport terminal at every turn?

At this time, I didn't say much, just one word: "Okay!"

The two acted vigorously and led the team to set off.

But before arriving at Gong Mansion, Li Yan pondered for a moment and said: "Duke Zheng, I promised Gong Wulang that I will try my best to rescue his second brother. This time he has done a great job in protecting the pier, so I don't want to miss the promise."

Zheng Rentong frowned: "But what if Gong Siye is mad and really attacks his brother, we can't stop him?"

Li Yandao: "When attacking the mansion, let Gong Wulang come forward, maybe there is some room for turning around."

Zheng Rentong really wanted to lead his troops directly to vent his anger. As the Zheng family of Xingyang, if he didn't take revenge and go back, he would be looked down upon in the future.

But since Li Yan said so, after thinking about it, he was still willing to give this favor: "Okay, Gong Siye and the thieves under his command must be killed, and the rest of them can spare their lives."

Li Yandao: "Go to the pier and invite Gong Wulang, and say that the Gong family will be the master of the family from now on."

……

Gong Siguang slept all night in Nilu by the pier in Beishi.

It was the first time in his life that he slept in such a poor room, but because he was so tired during the day, he fell asleep as soon as his head touched the pillow.

In a daze, I dreamed that my second brother broke open the window and fell in the yard, struggled a few times, and stopped moving.

In a trance, he turned into flying on the grass again, and when he looked carefully at the face of his second brother, he yelled and sat up.

He was panting in a cold sweat, when the servant knocked on the door: "Goro! Goro! Li Jiyi is here to invite you back to the house..."

Gong Siguang let out an oh, got up slowly, had just put on his clothes and flowers, and suddenly came to his senses: "What did you just say?"
