Start with detective Li Yuanfang

Chapter 327 Strictly deal with the royal relatives!

Luoyang Law Cao Xu Lin came to the gate of the inner guard and wiped the sweat from his forehead.

Thinking of the attitude of his colleagues who drew a clear line when they heard Li Jiyi called him by name, this Facao, who is usually considered the number one person in Luoyang's territory, broke out in cold sweat and started to wipe again.

It's not that I'm timid, it's a lesson learned from the past.

Not long ago, his colleague, the county lieutenant Gong Siye who was assigned to Hu Cao, was burnt to death by kerosene;
Gong Siming, who was originally the most hopeful successor to the Luoyang Order, even took poison in fear of crime...

Perhaps for the internal guards who are constantly investigating cases, the Gong family's case is a relatively long time ago, but in the hearts of Luoyang county government officials, it is regarded as a major case that happened only yesterday.

At this time Li Jiyi called him over. If Xu Lin hadn't reflected on his various mistakes along the way, he always felt that the crime was not worthy of death, so he might have found a rope and hanged him quietly at the gate of the yamen.

In any case, since he arrived at the inner guard, Xu Lin took a deep breath and walked in.

"The Law Cao of Luoyang County has arrived."

He was taken all the way into the inner prison, and when he came to an ordinary interrogation room, Li Yan nodded to greet him: "Young Master Xu, please take a walk."

Xu Lin hastily crossed his hands and saluted: "Your Majesty has met Li Jiyi, but I don't know if Li Jiyi is going to invite you, what's your order?"

Li Yan looked into the prison, and there was a short, fat man with narrow eyes squatting inside: "Wu Yizong rode a horse in the street and killed innocent people. Are you trying this case?"

Xu Lin was startled, obviously he didn't expect such a thing, but he hurriedly said: "I told Li Jiyi, it was a trial by the lower officials, both parties in this case were at fault, Wu Yizong rode his horse and galloped, and that child happened to run out suddenly again, It was a tragedy."

Li Yan frowned slightly: "Is this the explanation given by Zhou Guogong's mansion, or is it the result of your on-site inquiry?"

Xu Lindao: "It's about the children of the Wu family. We dare not be negligent. We asked many witnesses and basically restored the situation at that time."

"Wu Yizong rode a green horse from Longyou. This kind of good horse was originally very obedient, but when he rode to Xiuwenfang, the horse was suddenly frightened for some reason and ran forward. In the case of children, there was no way to save them at that time..."

"Shortly after the incident, Marquis Wu who was on patrol heard screams and rushed to the scene to restore the situation from the mouths of the surrounding people. The horseshoe marks on the ground also proved this point."

Li Yan frowned: "When did this happen?"

Xu Lindao: "It happened the day before yesterday. When we brought Wu Yizong into the yamen, people from Zhou Guogong's mansion also came to the door. They paid ten cents, and the child's parents gave up."

The ten coins correspond to later generations, even less than [-] yuan. Li Yan's eyes sharpened: "Even if it's an accident and didn't intend to harm anyone, is a life worth ten coins?"

Xu Lin said helplessly: "I heard that it is Duke Zhou's mansion, who dares to ask for more, the servant just threw down a few strings and left, and my county government made up ten strings..."

Li Yan said coldly: "It is because of this kind of indulgence that these people will become more and more serious! Today, the servant accidentally killed someone, and the servant dropped a few coins at will, and nothing happened. Next, the thief will treat him even more. People's lives are nothing, and they began to take the initiative to do evil and abuse the people!"

Xu Lin obediently bowed his head and was scolded: "This person is a child of the Wu family after all, there is nothing we can do..."

When He Lanmin's surname was Wu, how many crimes committed by the evil slaves in his house are too numerous to record. Neither Chang'an nor Wannian county government dared to deal with it. It's normal.

Li Yan is going to reverse this normal situation now: "This case is being re-tried. There are so many people in Luoyang Fang City, how can they run wildly? Wu Yizong should bear the main responsibility!"

Xu Lin actually heard him mentioning this case, so he knew that Wu Yizong would not be able to pass the test easily, and immediately said: "Please rest assured, Li Jiyi, I will definitely try this case carefully, and we will never let Wu Yizong escape his due guilt!"

Li Yan shook his head: "Due culpability? Not enough! We must deal with it strictly to serve as an example to others, so as to curb this trend, starting from Wu Yizong!"

Xu Lin was a little dumbfounded.

It would be good not to give privileges, and this is the first time I heard that the emperor's relatives are strictly dealt with.

After all, this is the Queen's natal family, in case His Royal Highness...

Suddenly, he thought of the evil deeds done by He Lanminzhi, the Duke of Zhou, and suddenly realized that he wished to give himself a hard time, and said again and again: "I understand, I must deal with these villains strictly, and let His Royal Highness satisfy!"

Li Yan knew that this guy had misunderstood, the crown prince is now concerned about the overall situation of the country, how can he have the energy to take care of the Wu family's children, Hate House and Wu don't have that leisure time.

However, it is normal for people in the officialdom to be good at drilling camps. This misunderstanding can at least kill the bad atmosphere of noble children in Luoyang.

He nodded slightly: "Young Master Xu, wait a moment. After I ask a few questions, you will bring him into the prison of the county government and take good care of him."

Xu Lin hurriedly said: "Yes!"

Li Yan entered the cell.

Wu Yizong waited anxiously. When he saw Li Yan walking in, he bowed down without saying a word: "Li Jiyi, forgive me!"

This person was originally short and hunchbacked, but when he lay down now, his appearance became even more ugly and his manners were wretched, Li Yan looked down, and his face could not help revealing disgust: "It is a national humiliation for the Tang Dynasty to have a royal relative like you! "

This Wu Yizong is not as famous as Wu Sansi and Wu Chengsi, but he is also indifferent to personnel. In history, when the Khitan rebelled against the Tang Dynasty, Wu Zetian ordered him to be the general manager of the march, and led [-] Tang troops to crusade. The capable general was originally sent to the sub-bureau. Wu Yizong only needs to be named and listen to the arrangements of the experienced generals under his command. This idiot wants to do it himself. As a result, before thousands of Khitan cavalry arrived, he was so frightened that he showed his true colors and ran away with his head in his arms. The Tang army suffered heavy losses and was almost defeated.

The commander is incompetent and the army is exhausted, that's all. Wu Zetian killed a good general who can really fight for the country, and then appointed this kind of trash as the commander.

But Wu Yizong's really disgusting behavior is that this person has no ability to fight the Khitan people, and he has the courage to raise the butcher's knife against the people. He actually used the people of Hebei to collude with the Khitan people and killed them wantonly. Later, he even wrote a letter and prepared to slaughter them Exhausted, used to save the face of his defeated army.

Wu Zetian rejected this proposal, but Hebei has lost all hearts and is in constant turmoil. The key is that after Wu Yizong returned to the court, he was not punished in any way. , Half a life of glory, died of death.

I don't know how those real princes who have made great contributions to the Tang Dynasty feel juxtaposed with such a thing...

What Li Yan hates the most is this kind of people who massacre the common people. At first, he had a very bad impression of Qiu Shenji. It was also because of the history of Qiu Shenji who killed the good and pretended to be meritorious. Later, he specially guided him. Now Qiu Shenji has no interest in war, and he is only thinking about him in the cell. His housekeeping skills, when the evil buster.

Compared with Qiu Shenji, Wu Yizong behaved worse, Li Yan didn't have the patience to lead him to do good, and said calmly: "Get up and answer!"

Where did Wu Yizong dare to get up, he almost curled up on the ground, twisted a bit, and continued to beg: "I know I was wrong, next time I must make good compensation to that child's family, I hope Li Jiyi will show mercy and don't send me back to Lingnan."

"And next time?"

Li Yan was too lazy to talk nonsense with him, and asked directly: "Did you have any contact with the clan members of the Changsun clan during the Lingnan period?"

Wu Yizong was taken aback for a moment, and then showed horror: "Changsun family? No, I definitely did not collude with such criminals!"

Li Yan frowned and said: "Who said you colluded with the Changsun family? You have lived in Lingnan for nearly ten years, have you met the people of the Changsun family? Or have you heard about the Changsun family from other people's mouths? There are no big or small details. You have to say it together, and you must not hide anything, otherwise you will not even have the chance to go back to Lingnan!"

To deal with this kind of people, direct threats are the most effective. As expected, Wu Yizong turned pale with fright, and stammered: "I really don't... I haven't seen anyone from the Changsun family... As for hearing... I heard... It seems to be heard about it……"

He struggled to recall that under the threat of life and death, his brain was more flexible than usual: "Yes, I heard from other sinners that the Changsun family was suffering from an epidemic, and basically died of it..."

Li Yan's eyes narrowed slightly: "Epidemic?"

Wu Yizong's tone was affirmative: "It's the epidemic. In the poor mountains and bad waters in the south of the Lingnan, what is more terrible than the miasma is the plague. It's terrible."

Li Yandao: "In what year did the Changsun clan get sick?"

Wu Yizong shook his head: "I don't know, but it should have happened more than ten years ago. I was still young and didn't know anything. Later, I heard someone mention it, and I vaguely recalled it. It is said that the body of the Changsun family was festered. Everyone wailed and died a miserable death!"

Li Yan asked again: "You just said that basically died of illness, is there anyone who survived?"

Wu Yizong said: "It seems that there are only a few people who survived. They are a large family with a population of over a thousand. After a plague, there are only a few left. It is really terrible. I will never go back to that ghostly place in Lingnan! Li Jiyi , please forgive me!"

Seeing Wu Yizong bow down again, Li Yan waved his hand, and the left and right inner guards directly set him up and dragged him outside.

Xu Linzheng was waiting respectfully where he was, when he saw Wu Yizong being dragged out like a puddle of mud, he immediately assured him: "Please rest assured, Li Jiyi, the Luoyang county government will definitely interrogate and deal with it fairly!"

Li Yan nodded slightly: "After the verdict, let him reflect on it in the county jail. If he really repents, not just regrets being caught, then he can reduce his sentence as appropriate."

Xu Lin thought that he might never be able to get out, so he took the order and said, "I understand!"

Li Yan sent them away, and when passing by another cell, he heard Wu Sansi's flattering voice coming from inside: "Li Jiyi, I have already reflected on myself, I often reflect on myself, please give me a chance..."
