This censor can handle it, he really sprays when something happens

Chapter 148 Involvement in the Case of the Former Emperor and General Zhenbei
It's the end of the year again, the season of auspicious snowfall.

All the people are very happy when the war with Liguo is over, because it means that there will be peace in the next few years, and there will be no wars; and the heavy snow that falls indicates a good harvest in the coming year.

The end of the new year is approaching, and the entire Shengjing is full of excitement.

There are lights and festoons everywhere, and it looks beaming.

After returning from Liguo Yihe, Li Qing's deeds have attracted a lot of attention among the people, especially the part where he scolded Emperor Liyang in the Liguo court hall, which was compiled into a storybook and widely circulated.

After all, after Li Guo's actions were exposed, the people of Zhou State had long been hostile to Li Guo, and Li Qing's actions were simply too carefree.

You must know that even if Li Qing sprayed Emperor Tianfu before, most of them were just admonishing him, but he was really ruthless when he scolded Emperor Liyang.

Pointing at the emperor's nose and scolding has never been done since ancient times!

The imperial court did not prohibit these words and deeds, anyway, after Li Qing's scolding, Li Guo and Zhou Guo were truly immortal.

What's more, now that Li Guo still owns thousands of miles of land from Zhou State, Zhou State will not tolerate it. After a few years of cultivation and recovery of national strength, they will inevitably send troops again to take back the lost land from Li Guo.

Therefore, the hatred and hostility of the people of the Zhou Kingdom toward the Li Kingdom are getting higher and higher, and the court is happy to see it succeed.

After all, when it is time to mobilize troops against Liguo in the future, it will be convenient to mobilize the people to sign up to join the army, and it will be convenient to mobilize money and food in all aspects.

The people of the state of Zhou continued to discuss various things about Li Qing.

However, Li Qing himself has been resting at home after returning to Zhou State, and the affairs of Yushitai are temporarily handed over to others.

Emperor Tianfu sent someone to inquire, but he just said that he was not feeling well, and he was recuperating at home for the time being, and he would go to court after a year.

Of course, Li Qing wasn't really unwell.

But because I have been so busy for so long and never stopped, I want to take this opportunity to take a short break.

Just after the heavy snow, the sky cleared up.

Li Qing was practicing calligraphy in the study, while Ao Xue was making a snowman in the yard, wearing thick winter clothes.

With Ao Xue's real dragon physique, of course she is not afraid of the cold, but this girl is very much loved by the housekeepers and servants. Several maids saw that she was still wearing skirts in such cold weather, so they made clothes for her.

Wrap her in three inner layers and outer layers like a porcelain doll.

"Hey~Hey~"

Ao Xue pushed a big snowball in the yard, then lifted it up and placed it on another big snowball.

Then he stuck the writing brush secretly taken from Li Qing on the snowman, turned around and shouted excitedly to Li Qing: "Teacher, teacher! Quickly, do you see if this snowman looks like you?"

Li Qing looked up and saw two stacked snowballs in the yard, which could barely be called snowmen, he was a little bit dumbfounded.

"Just play around with the brush, remember to return it to me later."

As Li Qing said, he flicked his fingers, and a burst of gangster energy flew out and hit Ao Xue lightly on the forehead, punishing her slightly.

Ao Xue covered her forehead with her hands, feeling very wronged.

However, the child's fun-loving nature quickly made her forget these unhappiness, and she turned around and went to play elsewhere.

Li Qing withdrew his gaze and looked at the blooming plum tree in the courtyard.

Now the plum blossom tree has grown stronger and more luxuriant, and its fragrance can be smelled for ten miles around.

Moreover, its fragrance makes people feel refreshed, and even their thinking becomes much clearer and quicker, which is also the most magical part of it.

"After smelling the aroma of plum blossoms now, the effect is similar to that of drinking ambergris tea. It's really strange."

"What will happen if you don't know how to make plum blossom tea?"

Li Qing rubbed his chin and thought, wondering what would happen if he fried the plum blossoms into tea.

But it's just thinking about it, and now he doesn't lack this benefit. What he needs now is to settle down and sort out a set of his own thoughts and theories.

After putting away all the manuscripts on the table, Li Qing walked out of the study.

Princess Changning didn't come back today, she has been in a temper tantrum with him since the last misunderstanding, and ignored him for more than a month.

So even a heroic woman like Princess Changning would be no different than an ordinary woman if she became jealous and angry.

There was nothing Li Qing could do about it, coaxing was useless after all.

The weather was clear and clear, and he had nothing to do at home, so Li Qing went out, intending to go to Yushitai to have a look.

Li Qing came back from his mission this time, but it wasn't because he didn't receive a reward. His official position was further promoted, and he became Doctor Yushi.

Kong Xiangde replaced Li Qing's original position and was promoted to Yushi Zuozhongcheng; Wang Yan was promoted to serve as Yushi, and each was promoted.

But during this period of time, Li Qingxianfu has been doing nothing at home.

The carriage stopped in front of Yushitai's yamen, and at this moment Li Qing noticed through the car window that several old men with white hair and shabby clothes just came out of Yushitai.

Two of them lost an arm and one lost a leg.

From this look, it was obvious that he was an old soldier who had come down from the battlefield.

The three old people walked together, helped each other out of Yushitai, and walked away tremblingly, as if they were still talking about something.

Li Qing is now in excellent physical condition, even if he doesn't use his mighty righteousness to add to his body, he can still hear what the three old men are saying clearly.

"Oh, Yushitai can't do it either, what should we do now?"

One of the old men with a broken leg let out a long sigh.

The old man with a severed hand beside him also shook his head and said, "It's a pity that the Demon Suppressing King is not here, otherwise we would be able to ask the Demon Suppressing King directly for help."

"As the King of Demon Suppressing, he will definitely speak up for the general and wash away his grievances."

His tone was full of unwillingness.

The old man with healthy limbs helped the old man with the broken leg to walk, and he didn't speak for a while. After they finished speaking, he hesitated for a moment before speaking: "The general's case is too big, and the involvement is too deep."

"Even if it is the King of Demon Suppression, it may be difficult to escape if it is involved. Let's go back and think of other ways."

But upon hearing his words, the old man with the broken leg was furious, and glared at him angrily, "Think of other ways? What else can I do!"

"Suppressing the Demon King is now in a prominent position, and he is still in charge of the Yushitai. If even the Demon-Suppressing King can't reverse the case for the general, who else in the world can!"

"Liu Heizi! If you want to give up, just say so! Just pretend you've never been with the general! I won't give up anyway!"

After finishing speaking, he violently shook off the hand of the old man named Liu Heizi beside him.

He limped away with a cane.

And the old man with the severed hand sighed, and said, "Heizi, you are full of children and grandchildren now, and I understand that you don't want to be implicated anymore."

"But I have been with the general for so many years. If the general hadn't resisted all the crimes alone, I would have died."

"If you don't want to continue, then don't worry about it anymore, the two of us can continue."

He patted Liu Heizi on the shoulder with his remaining arm.

Then he went forward to follow the old man with the broken leg.

Liu Heizi watched the two go away, his eyes were red, his lips trembled, and two lines of muddy tears flowed down his old face.

"You two bastards! You know nothing!"

"This matter has been settled for decades, and you don't even know how much it involves! Do you think that the King of Demon Suppression will be able to seek justice for the general? If you continue to investigate, you will be killed!"

"If I was afraid of death, I would have followed you until now? You don't understand, you fucking don't understand anything..."

Liu Heizi squatted in the corner and cried bitterly, tears pouring down his face.

He only felt that he was full of grievances and couldn't express it, and his heart was extremely painful, but no one could understand him.

However, at this time, a voice suddenly sounded in his ears.

"Old man, if you have any grievances, you might as well talk to this king."

"This king is also very curious, what kind of big case is it that this king can't thoroughly investigate and reverse the case."

Hearing this voice, Liu Heizi was startled.

Then he suddenly raised his head and looked in front of him, and couldn't help but widen his eyes, with an incredible look in them.

Because of the Confucian robed youth standing in front of him.

It is the King of Demon Suppression who is now famous in the sky!

Liu Heizi was a little flustered for a moment, he quickly raised his arm to wipe away his tears, and paid respects: "The grass people kowtow to the demon king!"

However, he did not continue this ceremony.

Li Qing supported him with awe-inspiring righteousness, and said: "The old man is an elder, and he is also a retired veteran, so there is no need to pay homage to this king."

"Thank you, Lord!"

Liu Heizi was excited and stood up.

Then Li Qing asked directly: "I just heard that the old man and those two old men said there was an unjust case. I don't know what kind of unjust case it is? The old man might as well speak up."

Li Qing could hear their conversation clearly just now.

Judging from the words, it is an old case of great injustice.

He didn't ask why he didn't report this kind of nonsense to officials.

Unjust cases like this are basically brought up by powerful children, and the joint government has suppressed them. It is strange that reporting to the officials is useful.

"This……"

When Liu Heizi heard Li Qing's words, he fell into hesitation, as if hesitating whether he should tell Li Qing or not.

Seeing this, Li Qing comforted him: "Although investigating cases is not the main function of the Yushitai, we can't just sit idly by and ignore unjust cases."

"If there is really a grievance, this king will not sit idly by."

The main function of Yushitai is to hear rumors and impeach officials. Although they are not responsible for handling and investigating cases, they can also participate in the trial when encountering major cases, and they will be interrogated with the three divisions of Dali Temple and the Ministry of Criminal Justice.

But the most important thing is that this kind of unjust case is in front of him. If Li Qing ignores it, it will be against his heart.

Even if it's a case that he can't handle, he can hand it over to Wei Que's East Factory to help investigate and return the other party justice.

Liu Heizi sighed: "The grassroots know the integrity of the Zhenyao King, but my general's case is too involved, and the person who wronged my general has tremendous power."

"Suppressing the demon king, suppressing the barbarians in the north, leaving the country in Xi'an, and saving all the people from fire and water, the grassroots really don't want to see the suppressing demon king being implicated."

After Li Qing listened, surprise appeared in his eyes, and he became more and more curious in his heart. What kind of case made the old man in front of him feel that even he was helpless?
"The monstrous power, is it greater than His Majesty?"

Li Qing sneered and said, even if Emperor Tianfu did something wrong, he dared to admonish him directly, there are still people in the world who are greater than the emperor.

Who knew, Liu Heizi actually nodded his head, hesitated for a while, and then said bitterly, "It's... the late emperor."

Li Qing froze, then frowned tightly.

He finally understood why Liu Heizi said it was troublesome.

The involvement is indeed not that big.

Seeing Li Qing's expression, Liu Heizi thought he was hesitating, and was about to take back what he had just said, turned around and left, but was stopped by Li Qing.

"It's cold outside, go inside and talk."

Li Qing looked up at the sky, then turned around and walked towards Yushitai Yamen, with a tall and straight figure.

Looking at Li Qing's back, Liu Heizi hesitated for a moment, finally gritted his teeth and followed Li Qing.

……

Li Qing's visit today was actually not the right time. Today, in Xiumu, there were only a few censors staying in the censor platform, and the rest were not there.

But Li Qing didn't care, he led Liu Heizi to his room, ordered people to light the fire to drive away the cold, and then served tea.

It was the first time for Liu Heizi to receive such a courteous reception, and he seemed a little terrified sitting on the big chair, restless.

"Old man, don't be nervous."

Seeing this, Li Qing gave a word of comfort, and then asked straight to the point: "There is no one else here, and the old man can speak freely. What kind of unjust case implicated the late Emperor."

To be honest, this case is really long enough.

Emperor Tianfu has been on the throne for 50 years, and this case is an unjust case in the period of the first emperor, which means it happened at least [-] years ago.

It is really surprising that the cases of the past so many years are still brought out, and they are still related to the previous emperor.

Liu Heizi was silent for a moment, then sighed, and asked Li Qing, "Does the King of Monsters know Xiao Yan, the Great General of Zhenbei?"

"General Zhenbei...Xiao Yan?"

Hearing the name Liu Heizi said, Li Qing frowned and thought about the relevant memories. He seemed to have heard of this name somewhere.

Then he suddenly remembered, and suddenly realized: "You mean the one who conquered the current half of the Great Zhou territory, made great achievements in battle, and was finally killed by the nine clans because of rebellion?"

This name is not because Li Qing is not familiar with it, but because it is too familiar.

Anyone who has known the history of the Great Zhou will be familiar with the Great General of Zhenbei, Xiao Yan, because this is arguably the most dazzling general in the Zhou Kingdom!

Xiao Yan's life can be described as a legend.

He was originally just a descendant of a declining local gentry. He had made a marriage contract with another family when his family was prosperous, but later because of the family's decline, he was humiliated by the other party's withdrawal of the marriage.

At that time, Zhou Guo was in a time of war, so Xiao Yan decided to enlist in the army, and thus started a legendary life.

He started as a soldier at the bottom, relying on his extraordinary strategy and courage, he climbed all the way, rising like a comet, and won the appreciation and trust of the first emperor of Zhou at that time.

The first emperor was also a rare wise emperor. He worked hard to govern the country and greatly improved the national power; while Xiao Yan fought outside and was invincible.

One of them ruled the inside and the other ruled the outside, which caused the rapid expansion of Zhou State's territory, population, and national power, annexing several surrounding small countries.

Together, the two created the current territory of Zhou State!
It is a good story passed down through the ages, but the result of the story is not good.
