Start with detective Li Yuanfang

Chapter 654 Child labor will be used again...

"Is this old housekeeper a thief of the Mingzun sect?"

"Five groups of people visited the prison one after another. The front ones were all delivering clothes, heaters, and food. The old butler just bribed the jailer, and then talked about it for nearly half an hour...Brother, I think this person is extremely suspicious! "

Watching the butler Qian Lao get into the carriage and leave in a hurry, Hua Rong and Shi Qian discussed in low voices, and finally looked at Li Yan who was standing with his hands behind his back.

Li Yan nodded in agreement: "Ming Zunjiao first killed Master Lu, the protector, and then broke Bishop Dali, and now Bishop Wisdom is imprisoned again. The loss is so heavy in a short period of time. With the current appearance, it is very likely that this housekeeper is an insider, so it is worth keeping an eye on."

Although Shi Qian has learned a lot of cultural knowledge during this period of time, and even his thin body has become stronger due to physical education classes, his hands are itchy. Hearing this, his spirits are lifted: "Great! We will definitely find these thieves I will wipe out all of them!"

Li Yan said solemnly: "According to what Judge Ding said, this bishop of wisdom is related to the former Division of Purification Law, heresy magic is hard to guard against, you should not take it lightly."

Hua Rong and Shi Qian's expressions suddenly became serious: "If we encounter heretics, we really have no means of defense. What should we do?"

Li Yan smiled slightly: "I will introduce you to a capable person who is proficient in Taoism."

As soon as the words fell, a man came out from behind and raised his palm in salute: "The Imperial City Secretary is married to Gao Lian, I have met you all!"

This person has a thin face, three feet long beard, and wears Taoist robes. Unfortunately, he is short and can't hold up his clothes, so he doesn't look like a dusty figure.

However, his attitude was modest: "Mr. Lin is absurd, I only know a few tricks of the sect, far from being proficient in Taoism, if I don't have my brother's attention, how can I be qualified to be the marriage officer?"

According to this meaning, this is Gao Qiu's brother, but he can be so humble, making Hua Rong and Shi Qian have a good impression of him: "I have seen Gao's marriage."

Li Yan is very clear that today's Gao Lian is far from being arrogant.

Gao Qiu's status is not high, relying on Zhao Ji's trust to mention the Imperial City Secretary, he has a lot of power, and all the dirty work that the scholar-bureaucrats look down on, the key is the relationship between the mention and the family, Not good yet.

After all, he was sued by his biological father to the government and kicked out of Bianjing, so he cut off contact with his family. Later, he became an old minister of the government's hidden residence by relying on Cuju, and his family fawned on him again. One person really can't make a fortune, so he recruited a group of uncles and brothers, and this cousin Gao Lian was one of them.

Just like Empress Wu using the Wu family's children, although the two parties are relatives, there is not much family relationship in fact, it is entirely due to political needs. Modesty: "I have been obsessed with Taoism since I was a child, and I have always wanted to enter the blessed land of Taoism to learn art, but unfortunately I have not obtained that kind of blessing so far, but I have only acquired a few superficial self-defense skills. Please take care of me so that I can take Mingzun to teach thieves! "

Li Yandao: "With the help of Gao's relatives, we can make up for some deficiencies in skills. We hold the wise bishop in our hands. We don't need to carefully lure the snake out of the hole, but surround the spot for help."

"When the three of you are watching, once you find a large number of thieves' hideouts, come back and recruit them immediately. There are not many cult thieves in Beijing. Losing a stronghold at each end can make them feel heartbroken!"

Gao Lian clasped his hands together, Shi Qian and Hua Rong clasped their fists together: "Understood!"

Watching these three people leave, Li Yan's eyebrows were not relaxed.

The three directions he arranged for Gao Qiu and Ding Run have yielded little so far.

Mrs. Cui's maid has not yet confessed, and the missing lady in Fan Lou has no clues. As for the relationship between the young master's family, it is even more difficult.

"The staff of the Imperial City Division will not work after all!"

Li Yan shook his head secretly.

During the Tang Dynasty, the internal guards were elite. As long as he made a plan and assigned tasks, he would soon gain something. Now he is uncomfortable. Who is Gao Lian leading? He has no such ability at all...

After standing still for a while, Li Yan stopped thinking about it and rode to the academy.

From a distance, Lin Yuanjing's steed was parked outside, and Li Gu was feeding.

Nodding to this omnipotent butler who can do everything, Li Yan entered the courtyard, and saw Lin Yuanjing standing outside the lecture hall, listening to the voice of the book inside: "Scholar farmers, businessmen, the four people, the best of the country... "

Hearing the sound of footsteps, Lin Yuanjing turned around: "I forgot what I was taught when I was a child, but it shouldn't be so catchy and easy to remember. Who compiled this book of elementary school?" ?”

Li Yandao: "It's... the Three Character Classic I edited."

Lin Yuanjing was startled and said, "The gentleman inside wrote on the wooden board, was it also your handwriting?"

Li Yan nodded: "The blackboard and chalk were always broken before, but now they are finally improved to be more practical."

Lin Yuanjing showed joy, and felt very proud: "No wonder this academy has a good source of students, and it is about to enroll in the fourth class. My son can achieve success in everything!"

Li Yan showed a smile: "We are called class here, not fast, how come father is free today?"

Lin Yuanjing hesitated for a moment: "We changed places to talk."

When the two came to the study, Li Yan still hesitated when he saw Lin Yuanjing: "What's the matter, father, just ask, why are you being polite to me?"

Lin Yuanjing sighed: "I'm not being polite, it's just that this matter is difficult to handle. I'm afraid that if I fail to save people, I will cause trouble to you. In my golden spear class, there is a young man named Xu Ning, who has a family tradition of hook and sickle spear skills. He is very talented, I like him very much, but he was taken by the Imperial City Secretary a few days ago..."

Li Yan's face darkened slightly: "Because of Ming Zun's teaching?"

Lin Yuanjing nodded: "That's right, I only found out after I inquired that Xu Ning had a relationship with Dong Fu from the archery class. After Dong Fu was arrested, he slandered Xu Ning for joining the Mingzun Sect. Indiscriminate, just took people in..."

Li Yan was worried about this kind of thing before, and he was not surprised when he heard the words, but frowned slightly: "Aside from Xu Ning, are there many other situations like this?"

Lin Yuanjing said: "I was just about to say that Zhang Qing, your Uncle Zhang, from a distant tribe, I mentioned to you at the winter solstice before, was also slandered and related to the Mingzun sect, which is even more wronged. How long has he been in the Imperial Army? Huh? It's just random biting!"

Li Yandao: "Ming Zunjiao is not interested in ordinary Forbidden Army. They want to recruit only strong men. Now they can't recruit, and under the anger of embarrassment, those who slander are promising young men, such as Xu Ning and Zhang Qing. Not bad."

Lin Yuanjing said angrily: "This group of thieves is really hateful. I didn't know until I joined the squad that the group of palace guards from the guards' house had too many wine pockets and rice bags. Now it's hard for a few talented people to be punished. After closing it in, the Imperial City Secretary didn't make a careful distinction?"

Li Yandao: "The main reason is that the status of warriors is too low. If literati and scholars are slandered like this, they must be investigated carefully. Warriors would rather kill by mistake than let them go."

Lin Yuanjing sighed after hearing the words: "Can it be saved?"

Li Yan thought for a while, but his eyes brightened: "If it was before, it would be really difficult, because it is difficult for outsiders to tell because of this bias in his heart. It all depends on whether the court will impose heavy punishment."

"Fortunately, the high-level thoughts are not on these imperial guards. He will definitely release them, but the problem is that this stain will be difficult to wash away. Even if they make meritorious service, they will be deducted logically. The future is bleak, very disgusting... "

"So there's only one way out."

Lin Yuanjing hurriedly asked, "What method?"

Li Yandao: "Let them participate in the process of killing Ming Zun's thieves and make meritorious service. Although it is still impossible to completely avoid gossip, it can at least minimize the impact."

Lin Yuanjing said happily: "It's really good, of course it's great, but how to do it?"

Combining the previous predicament, Li Yan concocted a plan: "How are the resilience of these two people?"

Lin Yuanjing said: "I don't understand Zhang Qing, but what Xu Ning said, he is still young, upright, and has first-class martial arts qualifications, but he has no witty response."

Li Yan is used to this type of hero, and it is indeed rare to have both civil and military skills. He did not expect extravagantly, and began to adjust his plan: "At present, in the Imperial City Prison, there is a high-ranking member of the Mingzun Sect who has extremely high intelligence value, but If you directly torture, it is difficult to ensure that this person will tell the truth."

"Since Xu Ning and Zhang Qing were also imprisoned there, and they were still slandered as Mingzun sect thieves, it was a good opportunity to get close to each other. I originally wanted my father and Uncle Zhang to write a letter and hand them over to each other. People, and then arrange them next to the thieves, now it seems that they can't be informed in advance, just arrange to go there..."

Lin Yuanjing was stunned: "But if you don't tell me about this kind of thing in advance, how can you cooperate internally and externally?"

Li Yandao: "The thief is vicious and cunning. If he didn't have Linglong's thoughts and told them the target in advance, he would show his flaws in his words and deeds, and then something would really happen. Of course, we can't stop talking about it, um..."

He frowned, got up and came to the bookcase, and took something down: "Father, this matter cannot be delayed, you can contact Uncle Zhang, I want to know Zhang Qing's character, and then change the details as appropriate, I will go to the Imperial City Department first !"

"Erlang..."

Seeing that Li Yan acted resolutely, went back to the academy without sitting on his buttocks, and left directly, Lin Yuanjing thought of his wife's urging, stretched out his hand, but still closed his mouth.

There should be no delay in saving people. After Xu Ning and Zhang Qing are rescued, it will not be too late to talk about other things.

Two quarters of an hour later, Li Yan was found to have gone and returned, and the Imperial City Secretary rushed to meet him, and heard him ask: "The day before yesterday, I brought a young lady of about ten years old. She is the cook of Fanlou. She has been released." Did it drop?"

The escort replied: "Young Master De Lin ordered that those female envoys and cooks with low suspicions be imprisoned in another prison area, but they have not been released yet. So far only the three yamen from Wu Longtu have been released..."

Li Yan thought it was very clever to release the three sons of the Wu family first, to tarnish their reputations, and then lock them up for one night, and let no one else go, just let these three people go, making it seem like the Imperial City Secretary succumbed to this Wu Long wanted to be obscene, so he had to let go, and put eye drops on the prefect of Kaifeng Prefecture who was already in trouble.

Of course, nine times out of ten, Gao Qiu didn't think about it so carefully at all, but his mind was full of house raids, and he didn't want to provoke Wu Juhou at this juncture, so he let his three sons go away quickly.

Since the young lady with extraordinary intelligence was still there, Li Yan nodded and said, "Bring her to me... I'm going to use child labor again..."
