Start with detective Li Yuanfang

Chapter 396 Sustainably killing relatives
"Where did the thief escape from?"

Qiu Shenji led his men to surround the place where the crime occurred. Looking at the exquisite lanterns swaying in the wind in front of the courtyard, not-so-good memories came to mind: "It's the courtyard of Mrs. Duzhi again... tsk ..."

What Qiu Shenji thought of was obviously the experience of being robbed by evil slaves in Wu Minzhi's mansion when he first became an official in Chang'an.

It was also after that incident that he officially became the nemesis of evil. The evil slaves of the rich and powerful families in Chang'an City still dare not pass in front of him.

However, Qiu Shenji didn't know that a case broke out in this well-known courtyard not long ago. It was the place where Lady Yan lived and Zheng Hui, the son of Zheng Rentong, was almost poisoned to death.

Now Lady Yan has redeemed her body and was accepted by Zheng Hui as a concubine. They went to the south of the Yangtze River together. However, this secluded and elegant courtyard was not free, and was taken by the false mother, and lived in another lady known to all.

Bolun Zanren and two Wu family disciples came here today to study poetry and cultivate their sentiments.

After a few rounds of drinking orders, I knew that the lady had been tortured so much that her blood pressure soared.

She has always been slick, but she has never seen such a stupid and show-off person, and she doesn't know how to smooth things over.

But no matter what, for Jin Jin's sake, she still tried her best to deal with the situation, and successfully got Wu's son drunk. She didn't think much of Bren Zanren, a barbarian, but in comparison, she still endured it. Now, I decided to share the wonderful song with this tasting rhetoric.

After a period of time, Wu's son was given hangover soup and woke up leisurely, only to find his fake mother in front of him, showing a warm smile: "You two Wulang lords, please settle the table money."

Wu Chengye was in a daze, but he still remembered the good friend who made the Wu family rich: "Go to Gagoro, he will pay the bill..."

The fake mother's smile became fake: "That Gar Langjun made my wife dizzy, and seemed to leave from the backyard over the wall. Dare I ask the two gentlemen, what is the meaning of this? If my wife has something wrong , we have to report to the officials!"

Another Wu Yuanzong became impatient: "We are the empress dowager's nephew, whore you a prostitute, you dare to report to the official? We don't know what kind of money, what makes you dizzy, third brother, let's go!"

The face of the fake mother completely sank, and after a little hesitation, she still gave a sharp look.

Several health servants came forward and blocked the exit.

Wu Chengye and Wu Yuanzong's expressions changed, looking at those burly servants, they showed panic: "What are you going to do! Our surname is Wu!"

This sternness made the fake mother calm down, and said coldly: "You two Wulang Lords, don't be joking. Although our business is a lowly business, we are also protected by the county government. Go and invite the government servants!"

We all know that the wife is the most well-informed due to her contact with officials who love to learn all day long. With the current status of Wu's children, she can only deceive outsiders who don't know the inside story. The false mother knows very well that their status in the court is extremely low.

Of course, under normal circumstances, no matter how low the status of the foreign relatives is, they are not something they can disobey, but she faintly felt that there was something wrong with the Tibetan lady who was dizzy and disappeared suddenly, so it was better to report to the official, but It can no longer be like the last poisoning case, which was almost implicated and imprisoned.

The false mother's decision was very wise, but Wu Chengye and Wu Yuanzong refused to let him go, they shouted at the servants to force the charge, the two sides pushed and shoved, and made a fuss.

Seeing that he couldn't get out, Wu Chengye shouted out his wit in a hurry, and made things worse: "The Tubo man is a thief from the enemy country, he must have fled back to the country, you go catch him and let us go! Let us go!"

So ever.

The patrolling Marquis Wu came and hurriedly reported it to the county government.

The county government came and immediately reported it to the Ministry of Punishment and Dali Temple.

The Ministry of Punishment and Dali Temple were immediately handed over to the inner guard.

The inner guards arrived and confirmed that under the "cover" of the Wu family's children, the Tubo repeat offender Bren Zanren fled.

At this time, Qiu Shenji looked at Erwu standing by the wall, and after just a few glances, he knew that there was no need to go to the inner prison for interrogation, so he asked the horse directly: "Tell me, what happened between you and Brun Zanren?" thing?"

When Wu Chengye and Wu Yuanzong were stared at by him, they couldn't stop feeling chills all over their bodies, and said tremblingly: "I don't know, he just escaped, so what does it have to do with me?"

Qiu Shenji said calmly: "I will only say it once, and I will never repeat it. Listen carefully!"

"Bren Zanren is the defeated general of Tubo. Thanks to His Majesty's grace, he is the dancer he is today. He cherishes his life and will never escape rashly."

"Just like the Turkic Jieli Khan was captured alive in Chang'an in the past, Emperor Taizong magnanimously refused to kill him. When the news came back, the Turkic tribes who had been stubbornly resisting also surrendered one after another. If Khan wants to escape, he will be shot to death."

"Bren Zanren escaped, and he couldn't even think about dancing. Even if his head is captured, he will serve a long period of hard labor until he dies. It will not cause conflicts when this matter is reported back to Tubo, because His Majesty is magnanimous enough. He didn't know cherish."

"Do you understand now, what exactly caused Bren Zanren to escape under your cover?"

Er Wu and then Wu Wu came to his senses when he heard this, and hurriedly said: "That guy hates us and intentionally harmed us..."

The two chattered about the previous incident, and Qiu Shenji was amazed: "So you cheated him of his money in turn, and you were invited by him to come here to have fun in the courtyard? He invited five people, Just the two of you are here, which means that the other three are at least somewhat alert, so what do you two think?"

Wu Yuanzong trembled all over: "I thought he still wanted to ask us to do things..."

Wu Chengye trembled: "I regret it now, quite regret it..."

Qiu Shenji took a look, and knew that the whole story was basically like this. Feeling very bored, he waved his hand and said, "Procrastinate! Then go to Zhou Guogong's mansion and summon the remaining Wu clan sons!"

"Wait a minute!"

Just at this moment, shouts of righteous words came from behind, several fast horses rushed up, and the leading official was dressed in purple robes, majestic and dignified.

Qiu Shenji raised his eyebrows thickly: "So it's Doctor Yin and the censors..."

The person who came was Yin Zhongyan, the doctor of the censor, followed by four officials of the censor, hurried to the front, saluted with a straight face, "Qiu Jiyi!"

As soon as Qiu Shenji saw the lineup, he knew it wasn't good.

Yushi Taifu is the official official of Yushi, and the deputy of Yushi Zhongcheng is the leader of Yushi, the servant of Yushi in the palace, and the supervisor of Yushi.

At this time, it was Doctor Yushi who led a Yushi Zhongcheng and three supervisory censors. The senior officials of Yushitai came for a while. full.

Qiu Shenji bared his teeth and looked back at the past proudly. He is now a fifth-rank Scarlet Robe, an important member of the court, and has the independence of inner guards. He was the first to ask: "I wonder what you are doing here?"

Seeing the attitude of the notorious Qiu Shenji, Yin Zhongyan squinted his eyes, stroked his long beard and said, "Taiwan Prison received a report involving Wu's relatives. I, Yushitai, dare not neglect, and come to investigate and deal with it!"

Before Zhenguan in the Tang Dynasty, Yushitai was only rumored and had no judicial power. During the Zhenguan period, Yushitai set up a prison to accept special litigation cases. At this time, Yin Zhongyan meant to classify Wu's son's case as his own. subordinate.

Qiu Shenji said indifferently: "The county government has a prison, the Ministry of Criminal Affairs has a prison in the Ministry of Criminal Justice, the Dali Temple has a prison in Dali Temple, Yushitai has a platform prison, and the inner guard has an inner prison. They are all places for interrogating prisoners, but each case has its own emphasis. There is meritorious service, the case has been handed over to my inner guard for trial, and the Yushitai will come again, maybe it is unreasonable?"

Yu Shi is a professional troll, but he has never spoken so bluntly before. Yin Zhongyan's face darkened: "Which court law did Qiu Jiyi's so-called 'reason' come from, I am all ears!"

Qiu Shenji didn't pick words with the other party, and laughed: "It's nothing else, I just want to ask, what exactly are you censors here for, and do you have any selfish intentions to hide it for the son of Wu!"

Yin Zhongyan showed anger, and the censor behind him changed color even more, and scolded: "Bold! You dare to slander our censor's reputation? We must refer to you and let your majesty decide!"

Qiu Shenji thought to himself that you censors don't have enough references to me behind the scenes. He wanted to find an opportunity to form a personal grievance with you a long time ago, so as not to look disgusted like a businessman, so he simply yelled on the ground: "Qing Yu? If you have a good reputation, you will not come here to speak for Wu's son!"

Yin Zhongyan secretly thought that something was wrong, knowing that Yushitai could not be tied to the notorious son of the Wu clan, he quickly changed the subject: "Let's discuss the matter, my prison has the power to interrogate cases, Qiu Shenji, don't despise the court's laws!"

The two sides quarreled, Qiu Shenji was one against five, and he just messed around, and he didn't lose the wind in the slightest. The inner guards in the courtyard also trusted this boss, so they could work in their spare time.

In fact, everyone knows that there are many courtiers behind Yushitai's current actions against the inner guards. The life and death of Wu's children has nothing to do with the officials. The key is to use them to limit the power of the inner guards.

If the emperor's relatives and relatives were to be killed as soon as they said they wanted to, wouldn't they be captured by the inner guards if they made a small mistake?There have been too many executions in the downtown area recently, this trend must be curbed!

Seeing that no one could scold anyone, the sound of horseshoes suddenly sounded.

The quarrel stopped abruptly, and both sides looked towards the street.

The lion Cong of Shenjun appeared from a distance, and came in front of him in dozens of breaths, and a heroic scarlet robed gentleman on horseback looked around the audience.

The ones who reacted the most were Wu Chengye and Wu Yuanzong.

When the previous officials arrived, they were just afraid, but the moment Li Yuanfang appeared, their fear completely turned into fear. Like a deflated ball, they collapsed in an instant, and the stench filled their bodies, making the censors frown and subconsciously Step back a few steps.

Seeing this person coming, Yin Zhongyan also showed obvious fear in his eyes. Although he is a third-rank purple robe, but because of the late emperor's edict, he fell behind this person in terms of power and ranking in the court. This time, with selfishness, he cupped his hands subconsciously and said, "Leader Li Ge!"

Li Yan opened his mouth and asked: "Dr. Yin is here, is Yushitai planning to replace the inner guard and arrest the fugitive Bren Zanren?"

Yin Zhongyan was at a loss for words, and the censor who only relied on words immediately shut up.

The duty of the internal guards is to handle cases at the national level, and they are also responsible for the subsequent arrest work. They can snatch the case, but how will Bren Zanren catch it?
Qiu Shenji stepped forward to briefly explain the case, and Li Yan nodded slightly: "That being the case, please ask Yushitai to investigate and deal with the case of Wu's son defrauding Bolun Zanren's property."

Yin Zhongyan was not reconciled to having the right to speak, but thinking that he could win the fraud case, at least he could prevent the internal guards from expanding further, demonstrating the authority of Yushitai, and nodded slowly: "That's fine!"

Li Yan looked at Erwu who was paralyzed and speechless again: "My inner guard handles the case and never gets involved. Whoever commits the capital crime will be executed. You don't have to worry..."

Er Wu's face was ashen, and he could not answer.

Li Yan turned to Qiu Shenji: "These two thieves are convicted of collaborating with the enemy and traitorous country. Handle it quickly and strictly. Submit the case file to His Majesty, and notify me when the execution..."

Qiu Shenji took the order: "Yes!"

Finally, he cupped his fists and saluted to everyone present: "The enemy's thieves will flee, this matter should not be underestimated, I will take my leave first, everyone has worked hard!"

"Send it to Li Ge!"

Everyone returned the salute in unison, watching this one suddenly come and go, and disappear into the street vigorously.
