The First Young Master of the Tang Dynasty

Chapter 2071 Cool officials!

"Besides, I have something to ask you." Li Chengqian said, "Get up first."

"Yes." Han Cheng responded and stood up from the ground.

"When Lai Junchen went to Langya, did your subordinates follow him secretly?" Li Chengqian asked.

"Exactly." Han Cheng said: "They came back with Lai Junchen, and they were always looking at Lai Junchen when they were on the way."

"Let's talk about what Lai Junchen did in Langya." Li Chengqian said.

If you want to use a person, how can you not understand a person?

Back in the Xuanzheng Hall after Li Chengqian sent the future Junchen out in the court, Li Chengqian asked Lin'an to investigate this coming Junchen. Some of my own courtiers.

With this understanding, everything that happened before Junchen's fortune was dug out in the future.

How did such a person with such bad deeds enter the court?He can still stand in the Hanyuan Hall and listen to the government.

The qualifications for coming to Junchen to go to court are not daily. Officials at all levels in the Tang Dynasty also have requirements for going to court. Yuanwailang, supervisory censor, and Dr. Taichang attended the court every day.

The daily sanctuary is a regular sanctuary. Generally, there is no need for a guard of honor and no grand ostentation. It is a real administrative day.The participants, called Changshenguan, are small in number and high in rank, and they are all those with important positions above the fifth rank.

Since then, Junchen's level is not up to the level of going to the court every day. Simply put, he is not qualified.

It is normal for those below the fifth rank, or once every three days, or once every ten days.

And that day, Lai Junchen also happened to catch up.

He was an official belonging to the court once every ten days. On that day, such a big incident happened to the Wang family, and the case of the Wang family was brought to the court.

So even Lai Junchen felt that he had caught up with the opportunity, and he had to seize the opportunity tightly, and wanted to make a fortune.

Lai Junchen was able to take advantage of the Beijing officials because he was able to rule once every ten days, because he was an official in Chang'an City, so he was eligible to enter the Daming Palace.

And the reason why Li Chengqian could tolerate people like Lai Junchen was also because Lai Junchen could be used, at least at this juncture, people like Lai Junchen were of great use to him.

Therefore, sending Lai Junchen out in the matter of Langya Wang's family is a crooked attack.

However, Li Chengqian still needs to know how Junchen behaves outside.

"Returning to Your Majesty, Lai Junchen's actions in Langya can only be summed up in one sentence, that is, the methods are extremely cruel." Han Cheng said: "As a member of the Baiqisi, in order to interrogate people and obtain useful information, he secretly In fact, punishments have been used before, but compared to Junchen's methods, his subordinates feel ashamed, and Lai Junchen's methods of extorting confessions by torture are appalling."

"Tell me about it." Li Chengqian said.

Judging from Junchen's past affairs, Lai Junchen is a ruthless person, but Li Chengqian still doesn't know how ruthless his courtier is.

What happened before Lai Junchen, in Li Chengqian's eyes, was nothing more than a petty fight by market figures, and there was only one case of accusation, which made Li Chengqian pay attention to Lai Junchen in his heart.

"Lai Junchen brought two cronies to Langya. These two cronies were Suo Yuanli and Wang Hongyi. He held the files and evidence of the Wang family's involvement in the bank case in his hand. After arriving in Langya, he led people directly into the Wang family's house. All 79 members of Wang's family were arrested, and they were not executed on the spot, but the officials were locked up in the cell of the local government." Han Cheng said: "After that, he, Suo Yuanli and Wang Hongyi were in the cell together. During the day and night, the captured people were interrogated and tortured to force them to confess."

"If it's just confession by torture, then what he said about the crimes committed by the Wang family in Langya is also true? If it's out of thin air, how can we talk about confession?" The case has reorganized a dossier, do you Baiqisi know the contents of this dossier?"

"I know." Han Cheng said: "A small part of the content in it is true, but most of it is obtained by extorting confessions through torture. It is difficult to determine whether it is true or not."

"Why?" Li Chengqian asked.

"At that time in the prison cell, Lai Junchen ordered his subordinates to use torture on the people captured by the Wang family. Even if there was no charge, they had to make up a charge. Some people could not bear the severe punishment, so they had to make up charges for themselves to escape After being tortured, all the people in the cell at that time would rather die than live. Perhaps for them, a simple and neat death is the greatest happiness. After being tortured in the cell, they need to be taken to the Yamen Shang Shang reinterrogated Tang. When the retrial was pending, many people in the cell had retracted their confessions for the crimes they said, and did not admit that they had committed such crimes. Lai Junchen asked his people to arrest them on the spot. He was killed with a knife, or his tongue was cut off with a knife, so the subordinates think that the case mentioned in the file may not be [-]% true."

Hearing this, Li Chengqian's eyes flashed with astonishment, but his face remained calm, he nodded and said, "It's so."

Lai Junchen is really a ruthless person.

However, it can be used.

The Wang family, whether it's Chang'an or Langya, can't escape death. Li Chengqian doesn't care how they die, as long as they do their best, that's enough.

Although the Qianzhuang case has been investigated clearly, all the people involved in the case have not been given the ending they deserve. Now that Lai Junchen appears, Li Chengqian has to think carefully about how to use this ruthless person.

"In addition, when Lai Junchen tried the prisoners of the Wang family in Langya, he also used many punishments that his subordinates and others had never heard of. They poured sour vinegar into their noses, boiled people slowly, or put the prisoners in dungeons without food or drink for several days. , and even asked craftsmen to create all kinds of new instruments of torture to force people to confess." Han Cheng cupped his hands and said.

The people in Baiqisi are also well-informed people, but thinking of the methods Junchen used to interrogate the Wang family in the prison of the Langya government, even though it has been a month or so, it still feels creepy.

"Here Junchen is a cruel official." Li Chengqian said with a serious face.

In this way, if you want to use Junchen, you will naturally have to guard against Junchen. You can't help but guard against him, and you have to keep an eye on him all the time.

This is a restless person, a person who can do anything for his own future. He is a sharp sword that can hurt others as well as himself.

　Ah, I was so stupid that I cried. Originally, these two chapters were supposed to be posted yesterday, but I put them away after I finished writing them, but I forgot them!forgotten! !I forgot! ! !
