Start with detective Li Yuanfang

Chapter 376 I don't want to be in place in one step, I just want to get better and better
Compared to Qiu Shenji who ate dinner and did not forget to help the Yang family educate the next generation, Li Yan just ate quietly and observed everyone in the Yang family.

He soon discovered that the people in this family were scattered, no wonder it was so easy to get in.

Not to mention that the Hongnong Yang family, Jingzhao Wei's family, and Longxi Li family were recognized as the three most prominent noble families in the Guan during this period. Even the Dou family, who was famous for their nepotism, encountered such a situation. Even Qiu Shenji couldn't come in so easily, and sat on the table majestically.

It's normal for the tree to fall and the monkeys to scatter, but the Yang family hasn't reached that point yet, and people's hearts are all scattered.

Anger is anger, bullying is bullying, but they are not intense enough. I guess it won't be long before the banquet is over and they go home, so they can do whatever they want.

This made Li Yan secretly lament that being famous is not as good as meeting.

According to historical development, since Gaozong, he has been trying to get rid of the restrictions of the Guanzhong standard. The death of Changsun Wuji officially announced the end of the political dominance of the Guanlong Xungui Group. When Wu Zetian was in power, the methods became more drastic. However, the political power of the aristocratic families was still huge, so the four major families of Li Wu, Wei and Yang gradually formed in the middle and late Wu Zhou Dynasty.

Therefore, Li Yan was very serious about the Yang family among them. He waited until the rumors spread in the market and had a high-sounding reason before he officially came to the door. Unexpectedly, he thought highly of the other party.

Yang's ability to remain prominent under Wu Zetian's suppression may not necessarily be strong enough, it may be obedient enough, coupled with the kinship of Wu Zetian's mother, Yang's kinship, was taken care of, so that he maintained his status.

Thinking of this, Li Yan put down his chopsticks after eating the last bite.

Such a simple move made Yang Chengyou, who was always observing here, shudder, and subconsciously wanted to shrink back, not wanting to stand out.

But as soon as his body moved, Yang Jiabin's low voice came from behind: "Go up and see what Li Yuanfang's purpose is. The rumors in the market have nothing to do with our clan, so you don't need to be afraid!"

Yang Chengyou narrowed his eyes, and his voice became cold: "If that's the case, why didn't the clan uncle go?"

Yang Jiabin said: "The old man is white and has no official position. That Qiu's performance is arrogant, so what can the old man do?"

Yang Chengyou flicked his sleeves: "Since the clan uncle knows that he is white, please forgive my nephew for being rude. This matter has nothing to do with my former martial arts room. You can go to the barn room!"

After all, he simply left the table and avoided entering the hall.

Not to mention that Li Yan had a panoramic view of this scene, Qiu Shenji saw it all, and laughed out loud: "What a famous family tradition, when my father was tutoring in the past, he often used Yang's and Webster's as examples, and told me to teach the children of the noble family. Learning, seeing you today is really an eye-opener!"

Yang Jiabin was so angry that his beard fluttered, and he almost blurted out a word of heart-eating servant girl, and then broke out in a cold sweat.

It's fine to curse behind his back, but if he really dares to insult in person, he will definitely be taken away, not to mention hanged in the inner prison, and thrown in the county government prison. The Yang Mansion can hold a banquet again.

Yang Jiabin suppressed his anger, turned his eyes, and began to look for new characters.

But as far as he could see, the reaction of the clansmen was to eat with their heads down, or to avoid their eyes, until no one could be found in the hall, and Yang Jiabin's heart sank completely.

At this time Li Yan got up, Qiu Shenji immediately stood up first, and was about to attack.

Seeing guest Yang's distraught appearance, Li Yan said softly, "Mr. Yang's heart is not in harmony, and I still have something to ask them. You should hold back a little bit."

Qiu Shenji understood: "Understood."

When the two came to guest Yang, the old man also shrank back, and then he heard Li Yan ask: "In recent years, children have been lost in various houses of the Yang family. Does Mr. Yang know the details?"

Yang Jiajie was startled when he heard the words: "The child is missing? Is there something wrong with this room?"

Li Yan roughly knew the status of this person in the clan, and asked again: "Then there are many rumors in the workshop, Mr. Yang should be clear about this, right?"

Yang Jiajie hurriedly defended the family, his voice full of sincerity: "I hope Li Ge can learn from this, these rumors really have nothing to do with my Yang family!"

Li Yan knew this matter better than anyone else, and said calmly: "Don't worry, I will never wrong a good person, but recently the inner guards have arrested some thieves, and some of the testimonies are quite unfavorable to Yang..."

Yang Jiabin took a breath, afraid to hear about Yong Wang Li Xian, but Li Yan changed the subject and said: "And the rumors in the workshop have further expanded. It is rumored that I am related to Wu Guogong, and it is also rumored that I am related to the former Zhao Guogong. !"

Yang Jiajie's complexion changed, and he sighed secretly in his heart, this rumor-monger is really an idiot, if he chooses one of these two from the beginning, and spreads some specious so-called evidence, won't he really cause trouble for this person in front of him?

Wu Guogong was Li Ke, the former King of Wu, the third son of Li Shimin, whose mother was Concubine Yang, the daughter of Emperor Yang of Sui Dynasty.

Needless to say, the former Zhao Guogong was a taboo in the Gaozong Dynasty. Even if the saint has succeeded to the throne and has sent people to Lingnan to find the heir of the Changsun family and inherit the incense, no one dares to mention him rashly.

Being involved with Li Ke and Changsun Wuji, and seeing the rumors in the market getting more and more exaggerated, it's no wonder that this person wants to investigate deeply.

Li Yan has already checked with Li Dejian about the events of the year, and with the same caliber, he said coldly: "The reason why there are all kinds of rumors is not unrelated to my living in Liangzhou when I was a child. I was abducted by toothmen and grew up in Liangzhou. , but was slandered by thieves a lot, this matter must be investigated!"

Only then did Yang Jiajie understand why he asked about abducting children just now, and hurriedly said: "Leader Li, please don't worry, my Yang family is willing to cooperate. If children in the clan are really abducted, their parents must cooperate with the inner guards to arrest the toothmaid traffickers." !"

Li Yan nodded slightly, and at the moment when Guest Yang seemed to be pardoned, he asked again: "An incident happened in the Yang family in the fourth year of Xianqing, can Mr. Yang still remember?"

Yang Jiabin said with a dry smile: "Xianqing four years, that is sixteen years ago, how can I remember such a long time at my age?"

Li Yan was silent for a while, and Qiu Shenji immediately stared: "Since Liu Lang asked, it must be a major event in your clan. Aren't you showing off your power in the clan, and you don't have the slightest impression? Do you want to change the environment and go to the inner guard to recall memories? "

Yang Jiajie was shocked, and hurriedly mobilized his sluggish brain, thinking with all his strength: "Xianqing four years... Xianqing four years... What big things can happen in that year? Isn't that year the former Zhao Guogong... Ugh!"

Qiu Shenji observed many people, although he was not as keen as Li Yan's eyesight, but when he saw the gray eyebrows trembling slightly, he knew what the old man thought of, and immediately said: "Speak, don't waste our time, I don't care." Oh, but Liu Lang is very busy with his work!"

Yang Jiabin was a little reluctant, but being pierced by his fierce eyes, he still didn't dare to make a mistake: "I remembered that there seemed to be a big event in the clan that year, and every house was mobilized. The old man came from the barn. I was also shocked at that time..."

Li Yan was expressionless and listened carefully, but Qiu Shenji was a little curious: "Don't babble, finish speaking!"

Yang Jiabin bitterly said: "But this old man doesn't know what's going on. It was my younger brother Jiaben who went to the clan to discuss it. When he came back, he kept it secret. When this old man asked, he didn't tell the details, but only said that the matter was important. The fewer people who knew The better."

The corner of Qiu Shenji's mouth twitched: "Yang Jiaben?"

Prince Zhanshi Yang Jiaben was interrogated by him before, and he passed away not long after. He didn't last until the Ministry of Criminal Justice interrogated him, and the insider was reduced by one. However, according to Yang Jiabin's meaning, there are people who go to every room, so there is still a chance of redemption. : "Where are the people in the other rooms?"

Yang Jiabin shook his head: "I only know that people have gone to every house, but I don't know who it is."

Qiu Shenji frowned: "Then what do you know?"

Yang Jiajie hurriedly said: "I know that there is a leader in that incident. At that time, my younger brother mentioned it and said that it could only be done with the call of that person."

Li Yan finally spoke: "The leader?"

Why don't you just say "leader brother"?
However, when he thought about it carefully, Changsun Wuji's prestige was extremely high, but if the various tribes in the pass were to spontaneously protect his tribe, it hadn't reached that point, and he really needed a leader who raised his arms and shouted: "According to your guess, Who is that man?"

Yang Jiajie said: "To tell the truth, Li Geling, this old man has only had a high position in the clan for the past ten years. It was really not my turn to participate in the big event sixteen years ago. Who is this leader? I really dare not say anything." guess."

How can Li Yan be so easy to fool, he said calmly: "People from foreign races don't want to say it, so don't say it, and I don't force it, but the Yang family, who might have gone there sixteen years ago, you don't know Don't you know?"

Yang Jiabin's body froze for a moment, so he could only take out a pen and paper, write down a few names, and handed them over: "Please take a look at Li Ge."

Li Yan took it, read it carefully, and softened his tone: "Thank you, Mr. Yang, for your cooperation. If you have any questions, Qiu Jiyi will come to the house to bother you."

After listening to the first half of the sentence, Yang Jiajie thought he had passed the test, but when he heard the second half, he almost went into cardiac arrest.

Qiu Shenji liked to see the faces of these aristocratic families, and he grinned and said, "Do you think it's troublesome?"

Guest Yang could only shake his head: "No trouble, why trouble, we welcome, um, welcome..."

He really couldn't say something against his will to welcome Qiu Shenji, his face turned blue.

Qiu Shenji didn't care either, he laughed, followed behind Li Yan, and walked out with steps that his relatives did not recognize.

Before leaving, he even picked up a box of dim sum: "As expected of a famous sect in China, the dim sum in the house is quite delicious."

After exiting the gate of the Yang Mansion, Qiu Shenji turned to look at the wealthy family who were much more luxurious than his own, curled his lips and said: "When I think of such a noble family, occupying so many official positions, and all the children of the family go to the second hall and six schools, I feel it is unfair." what!"

Li Yanduan sat on the lion's chair, and turned from Yang's magnificent mansion to the people who were busy with their lives: "Everything cannot be done in one step. Starting from this year's imperial examination, the situation that it is difficult for poor scholars to get ahead will be changed. This The world will get better and better!"
