Manchu traitor, how can you let me be the emperor of the ages

Chapter 141 Lü Bu went wild, Li Qian was blocked in front of the Yamen of Jingzhao Mansion

The wooden windows inlaid with patterned brass sheets in the political affairs hall are half-opened, and the sultry wind blows in from the outside, wrapped in the faint fragrance of plants and trees.

Li Gan doesn't like to place ice trays, but the air in the hall is not too hot, instead it feels cool.

But at this moment, the old eunuch was already sweating profusely.

"It's not made up, it's not made up!"

The old eunuch hurriedly explained: "Your Majesty, everything this servant girl wants to say is true, and there is absolutely no falsehood!"

Li Qian was noncommittal: "Let's talk about it first."

The old eunuch explained with a sneer: "Your Majesty, although the servants have made such a small market, it is still for your majesty's safety?"

"The servant wants to practice here first, to get familiar with the guard actions when His Majesty travels, so as to protect His Majesty's safety when His Majesty goes out in the future."

Li Gan picked up the yellow porcelain teacup on the table and sipped the tea lightly: "If I don't find out today, will I accompany you to practice every time I go out in the future?"

"The day after tomorrow, I will go to Jingzhao Mansion to look at the case again. Do you have to set up a court?"

"Of course not."

The old eunuch hurriedly explained: "Your Majesty, this servant originally planned to persuade His Majesty not to go to see it, but who would have thought..."

"Who would have thought that Yifu's eyes are as sharp as a torch, and he saw through your treachery at a glance!"

With a generous face, Lu Buhu reprimanded him righteously: "Old thief, I have been coerced by you for the past few days, and I have no choice but to deceive my adoptive father!"

"You don't even need your dog's brain to think about it. With your little cleverness, do you still want to hide it from your adoptive father? It's just a clown, an obedient clown, a thousand clumsy ugliness, and ugly ugliness!"

"I hope you can get a big blow this time, and you will change your past in the future, and don't do this frenzied act of deceiving others and turning black and white!"

The old eunuch wanted to scold him, but he just raised his head to glance at Li Qian's face, then lowered his head obediently: "Your Majesty, this slave realizes his mistake."

"Were you coerced by him?"

Li Gan glanced at Lu Bu: "Could it be that the big companion put the knife on your neck?"

"Of course not!"

Lu Bu also didn't care to teach the old eunuch a lesson, and hastily bent down: "Father, this old thief kidnapped Bu because of the safety and righteousness of the father, and Bu cooperated with him if he couldn't. The safety of the father is worse than a knife to Bu." Sharp!"

Hearing that this guy threw all the blame on him, the old eunuch couldn't bear it anymore, and immediately said angrily: "You promised more happily than anyone else!"

"I was just talking about arranging things as you like, but what you said is that you have to do a full set of acting, and let your subordinates leak out the knife! Now you are running in front of His Majesty and turning black and white. Ugly monster with a bad accent!"

But Lu Bu didn't continue to tangle with him, and immediately complained: "Father, look! This old thief wants to deal with the matter even if he deceives you, so you can see how abominable he is! Even if the foster father hits him with ten court sticks, he won't be wronged. .”

Li Gan leaned on the backrest with quite a headache, and rubbed his eyebrows with two fingers: "Okay, stop arguing!"

The old eunuch who was about to scold back immediately quieted down, lowered his head and said no more.

"There aren't that many assassins in the capital. If you make such a big fuss about the city, it will attract attention instead!"

Li Gan sat up and stared at the two of them: "Do you think your actions are very subtle?"

"No concealment." The old eunuch lowered his head.

Just now he had explained to Li Gan that many of the people there were maids, eunuchs, and guards he found from the palace, and other vendors were also carefully searched before they were put in.

As long as there is a caring person, you can still inquire about this kind of movement.

"But the servants are all looking for reliable people, and there won't be too many problems."

Li Gan wanted to say more, but seeing his listless look, he didn't want to say any more.

"I will go to Jingzhao Mansion the day after tomorrow to see the hall."

Li Gan glared at the two of them: "If you do it well, you will pay off your merits. If you don't do it well... the old and new debts will be settled together!"

The two nodded like chickens pecking rice, and responded.

"Also, don't bring too many guards this time. It's too eye-catching and easy to attract attention. No matter how many of you there are, are you more than the Huben Army in the capital?"

Li Gan instructed: "As long as two or three people follow secretly!"

"Yes, Your Majesty."

The old eunuch nodded hastily: "Your Majesty's admonishment is in your ears, and this servant realizes that this servant is too wrong..."

"okay."

Before he finished speaking, Li Gan waved his hand: "Go out, I'm going to review the memorial!"

……

There are three city gates on the west side of the capital, and the one to the north is Kaiyuan Gate.

As the starting point of the Silk Road, this city gate with three gates is not inferior to the Jinhua Gate in the middle. It is noisy and lively, and businessmen come and go like a tide every day.

Daqian merchants led camels, pack horses, and wagons, loaded with goods in short supply in the Western Regions such as silk, tea, and porcelain. After leaving the city gate, they headed west all the way. Western Regions.

Although there are also Hu merchants passing by here, most of the merchants from the Western Regions enter the capital through the Jinhua Gate in the middle of the west side, because it is closer to the West Market.

Inside Kaiyuanmen, there are a series of food stalls and restaurants along the street. The aroma permeates the whole street. There are stalls selling Huto, Huangqi mutton restaurant, wonton shop, meat dumpling stall...

Caravans going to the Western Regions will have another bite of hometown food here before embarking on their journey.

"Auxiliary machine, it's time to go!"

Gao Shilian was dressed in a dark green pine-pattern lake silk robe, with a black silk double-winged headband on his head. He looked at the eldest grandson Wuji who was eating a bowl of mutton soup in front of the table, dumbfounded: "We are not going to the Western Regions, and the sheep in Longxi are even rarer. Capital, do you still worry about not being able to eat mutton when you arrive in Longxi?"

"It's not the same, Uncle!"

Changsun Wuji ate deliciously, so he also wrote to him: "Although the sheep in Longxi are delicious, the sheep in the capital have a special flavor. I love them very much!"

Gao Shilian couldn't help laughing: "The sheep in the capital have to thank you."

Changsun Wuji grinned, coughed again and again, and almost choked, which attracted the attention of diners at the mutton stall.

"Don't eat, don't eat."

Changsun Wuji wiped his mouth, and looked regretfully at the mutton soup with soup base in the basin: "Let's go, uncle!"

The two got into the carriage, followed the vast caravan traffic, and left the capital through the Kaiyuan Gate. Changsun Wuji poked his head out of the carriage, looked back at the towering city wall, and sighed faintly, unable to explain what it was mean.

Seeing this, Gao Shilian smiled: "You were the one who couldn't be happy when I heard that I was able to leave yesterday, and you are the one who is so reluctant today."

When he asked about his trip to Longxi yesterday, Changsun Wuji was very excited and answered immediately.

I didn't expect it to be like this again today.

"Ah~"

Changsun Wuji withdrew his head back into the carriage, and sighed quietly: "I was very happy at first, but when I heard that old uncle, you are going to be the governor of Longxi, I thought that I finally have a place where I can say what I want."

When he was a household secretary in Yongshou County, he suffered from the uselessness of his superiors. Now that his uncle can go out to be the top leader, he naturally wants to follow him.

Gao Shilian laughed and scolded, "You're a cunning boy. That's where I keep my word. What does it have to do with you?"

He knew that Changsun Wuji deliberately didn't mention the depressing things in the county government recently, so he smiled and avoided the topic.

"My uncle is the sheriff, and I am also a bad yamen."

Changsun Wuji said with a playful smile, "Who would dare not listen when the time comes?"

"Haha~"

Gao Shilian was in a good mood: "If you go there and act mischievously and bully men and women, even if I don't punish you, His Majesty will definitely punish you."

Changsun Wuji was still startled when he heard the words: "Old uncle, did Your Majesty really say that yesterday?"

Gao Shilian smiled, this kid had asked countless times: "That's for sure, even if I lied to you, I wouldn't joke about it."

Changsun Wuji's face was not very happy, but with a bit of dignity: "I'm afraid that I will disappoint His Majesty's expectations..."

Gao Shilian shook his head with a smile, but said nothing.

There are some things that you can only get out of by yourself, and others can't help you.

Changsun Wuji came back to his senses, glanced at Gao Shilian's face quietly, and sighed softly, as if trying to save face: "Uncle, I'm actually not nervous, but I miss my mother and Chong'er a little bit. "

"You have been working in this county for three years, and you still have to leave your family..."

"What do you know?"

Hearing that his nephew began to complain about himself, Gao Shilian couldn't help blowing his beard and staring again: "I have my own considerations, young people just listen."

Leaving aside the fact that the time to go there is not long, let's say that Longxi is not a peaceful place.

It was a mess right now, and Cai Jing's clique was still powerful in Longxi, which made Gao Shilian secretly worried, thinking that it was not a good place, so naturally he didn't want to bring his family there.

Changsun Wuji curled his lips, but his mood improved a lot. When he looked at the vast convoy outside, his eyes were no longer dull, but curious and scrutinized.

When Gao Shilian saw that his nephew didn't pick up the quarrel, his thoughts went back to yesterday's conversation, and he couldn't help feeling a little more uneasy.

In fact, Gao Shilian did not tell anyone about Li Gan's hint to him yesterday.

After all, there are some things that cannot be publicized in the court. If you tell the first person, the second person may know it intentionally or unintentionally. Even if it can be done by then, it may be dirty.

What's more, this matter has not been written yet, and it may be true or not. Gao Shilian himself is very worried, and he doesn't want to tell his eldest nephew, so that he can feel worried for himself.

The carriage was leisurely, and the smoke and dust swayed.

The uncle and nephew had their own thoughts, and followed the prosperous caravan to Longxi.

~~
The Yamen of Jingzhao Mansion is located in the south of Shanhefang, the gate faces Tonghuafang in the south, and it is only a few steps away from the busiest Zhuquemen Street.

Zhou Lei's case was going to be heard again today, so Li Gan put on his casual clothes again, wearing a jadeite and dark blue hair crown, a lake blue silk cloth open skirt and a round neck gown, and a light blue satin cloth around his waist A long, round, cold-colored jasper pendant hung from the belt, leading the old eunuch and Lu Bu out of the palace.

This time he was still sitting in the small black sedan chair, even though Lu Bu and the old eunuch, the two scumbags, did not dare to act like monsters anymore.

Hearing the noise coming from outside the sedan chair, Li Qian couldn't help but feel a little itchy in his heart, and wanted to go out and take a good look.

This is the third time he has been out of the palace, but with the experience of "being rehearsed" in the first two times, not only did Li Gan not get over the addiction of going out of the palace, but his curiosity grew even stronger.

It's just that I came out late this morning, if I delay any longer, I won't be able to make it to the hearing.

It was the first time for Li Gan to see the interrogation of prisoners in the Jingzhao Mansion, and he didn't know how it was different from his own court meeting.

The sedan chair walked through the noisy street, and soon came to the Yamen of Jingzhao Mansion. Li Gan got off the sedan chair and looked at the crowded and noisy scene in front of him, but was startled.

"There are so many people in Jingzhao Mansion every day?"

"Today is different."

The old eunuch was still dressed in a low-key dark gray linen long-sleeved straight gown, tied with a light black square scarf, bent his back on purpose, and looked down next to Li Gan. Today, these people are either going to be judged, or have relatives and friends who are judged, or come to watch the excitement..."

After listening to his explanation, Li Qian nodded and understood the reason.

It turns out that Jingzhao Mansion doesn't receive awards every day.

Whether it is Jingzhao Prefecture or the counties and counties below, the people generally refuse to submit petitions during busy farming seasons, which is called "quitting lawsuits to persuade farmers".

After the cessation of litigation, the common people are not able to submit petitions every day. They have to wait until the special "Release Day", when the notice board is hung outside, the court will not open.

At this time, it usually means that the official is already sitting in the courtroom to hear the case.

But today's Jingzhaoyi Wang Jin is more Buddhist and doesn't like to seize power. Instead, he entrusts the prestige of sitting in the court to his subordinate officials.

The three of them approached the gate of the yamen, only to find that there were not as many people here as they had imagined. It was because of the angle problem in the distance that there were more people.

However, fewer people belong to fewer people, but the lively energy is not inferior at all.

Here, a man with short hair grabbed another man by the collar and said angrily, "If you don't pay back the money, you will definitely be put in jail today!"

Over there, a shopkeeper-looking man threatened the person in front of him with a stern voice: "I must deliver that batch of goods today, or I will definitely make you look good!"

"Heh, did you scare me too much? The contract is still half a month away, so I don't believe you can do anything to me!" The attitude of the threatened person was rather generous.

"Sanggong, Mr. Liu and I are really innocent, you must believe me~" A woman hugged the man's leg and cried loudly...

Li Gan looked at the real people one by one with great enjoyment.

"My lord, it's really lively just after the period of suspension!"

The old eunuch explained with a smile: "There are a lot fewer people these days."

Li Gan was noncommittal: "Go in and have a look."

It is not time to open the hall, and there is still a large fence standing at the gate of the yamen.

After a while, the drum sounded inside. It was the time for the hearing. Several strong class yamen servants opened the fence and put up a notice board, and then a group of people in front of the yamen swarmed in.

But people just entered the gate and were stopped by a fence, unable to enter the second hall where the case was being tried.

Only when it is passed on to someone, can that person enter.

Li Gan and others also followed the flow of people, passed between the tall gateposts, and entered the mighty Yamen of Jingzhao Mansion.

"My lord, the official who just took office was originally the magistrate of Taiping County. Now that Cai Bian and Cai have been promoted, he has gained a lot of money."

The old eunuch explained with a smile: "However, this person's airs are quite big, and he doesn't let people go in to watch the trial."

When the court judge is adjudicating a case, he can open the fence to let the people in and watch, or he can drop the fence, it all depends on personal choice.

"Master, why don't you lift this fence, let's go in and have a look!"

Under Li Qian's suggestion, Lu Bu didn't wear his Confucian gown today, but changed into a mighty purple brocade cross-collar short gown. Coupled with his big and thick stature, the people around him who were waiting to open the hall were shocked. He couldn't help taking a few steps back silently, and looked at the hulking man in shock.

There are not many people who dare to play tricks in the Yamen these days, who is so fierce?
Li Gan also covered his face speechlessly, wanting to pretend he didn't know him, but he still sighed helplessly: "No need."

Suddenly, a girl's laughter like a silver bell came from the side, as clear as an oriole's chirping, mellow and moving.

Li Gan turned his head curiously, only to see a girl in a goose-yellow high-necked embroidered brocade dress covering her mouth and looking at this side. She was [-] years old, with a slender and graceful figure, beautiful appearance, and rosy skin. She is healthy and has a unique temperament, delicate and tactful, which is particularly touching.

As if sensing Li Qian's gaze, the girl blushed and retreated behind a beautiful woman beside her.

The beautiful woman smiled apologetically at Li Qian and the others, then turned her head away, and looked at the situation in the second hall with the people around her.

As if sensing Li Qian's eyes, the old eunuch smiled flatteringly and whispered, "Master, how is this girl?"

"If you like it, I will send someone to find their house..."

"No need!"

Li Gan glared at him angrily: "Do I look like the kind of person who bullies men and women?"

The concubines in the harem are too busy, and they still want to mess around outside?How hard is it to think about it?
"Master, you can be." Lu Bu added with a smile on the side.

Li Gan almost choked to death: "Go aside!"

He also stood in front of the fence, watching the situation in the second hall from a distance, but the distance was relatively far, and he couldn't see clearly.

Li Gan frowned: "Looking at it this way, it doesn't seem to be a problem..."

Can't see anything, can't hear anything.

The old eunuch smiled and said: "My lord, I have a way."

"Don't play tricks!" Li Qian frowned, and added: "Don't make too much noise."

The old eunuch knew Li Gan's character, so he smiled and said, "Don't worry, master, there will be no trouble!"

He summoned a servant, who was a little impatient at first, but after the old eunuch whispered a few words to him, the servant stared at the old eunuch timidly, and ran away. Into the second hall.

After a while, an order came from inside, asking the yamen servants to open the fence and let the people in to see.

Li Gan looked at the old eunuch curiously: "What did you talk to him about?"

Lu Bu said without even thinking about it: "The old thief has a bad stomach, it must not be a good thing."

The old eunuch ignored him, and said with a smile: "I said I was sent by Prime Minister Qin. Prime Minister Qin said that this trial must be fair and open, and we must not be afraid of others watching."

"Otherwise others will think there is an inside story!"

Li Gan almost laughed out loud, what a shame!
No wonder the pushing officer was so anxious that he asked someone to open the fence.

Unexpectedly, before he could laugh, another chuckle like a silver bell came from the side.

Li Qian turned his head and looked over, and found that it was the girl just now who was laughing.

And this time it was not only him, but even the middle-aged people around him also looked sideways.

"What are you looking at? Have you never seen our master so handsome?"

Lu Bu stood up viciously, but Li Qian noticed that his eyes kept looking at the two beautiful women.

"No wonder you are so active today..." The old eunuch also noticed, and took the opportunity to arrange Lu Bu.

In fact, not only Lu Bu noticed, but Li Gan also noticed this group of people a long time ago.

A man with the appearance of a middle-aged Confucian scholar was leading two beautiful women. One of them was looking in the direction of the second hall anxiously, wanting to follow the crowd, but was held back by the older woman on the other side. up.

The eyebrows and eyes of the two are somewhat similar, and they seem to be sisters.

"This boy."

The Confucian scholar seemed to see that Li Gan was the one who kept his word, and he frowned and took a step forward: "Is it the actions of a gentleman to smear others like this?"

Lu Bu's eyes widened immediately, and the old eunuch frowned, but Li Gan stopped them before they could speak.

He smiled and said to the Confucian scholar: "Sir, how can anyone in this capital dare to discredit Prime Minister Qin?"

"My housekeeper said that Prime Minister Qin ordered to be fair and open. Could this be called slander? Prime Minister Qin should be happy to hear that."

"that is!"

Lu Bu also said carelessly: "Who knows how many bad things Qin Hui has done outside, we are helping him to spread a good name, and he has to thank our master!"

The Confucian scholar was also choked and speechless, and seemed to know Qin Hui's reputation.

"master……"

The older beautiful woman gave Lv Bu a fearful look, and tugged at her husband, fearing that he would suffer.

The girl also tugged his sleeves backwards, and whispered to him: "Father..."

"Who said my son-in-law should thank him?"

Son-in-law?

Li Gan, who didn't feel anything at first, was startled, and looked in the direction of the voice.

At this moment, most of the people who complained ran to the second hall inside, and there was no one there.

I saw a middle-aged man in a toga with long sleeves walking towards this side with his hands folded and his brows frowning.

Behind him was a flirtatious, beardless man, and two strong and long followers.

This is Qin Hui's father-in-law?
Li Gan looked at this man, wearing a fancy brocade robe, with some white spots in his beard, and a big round belly.

At the same time, Li Gan was also recalling that this person seemed to be called Wang Zhongyi, and his younger brother or elder brother Wang Zhongyi, both were traitors...

But Wang Zhongmao just said something so weird, and didn't pay much attention to the few people, but went straight to the other side.

"Eldest sister! Second sister!"

Wang Zhongmao greeted him with a smile: "Brother-in-law, you are here too."

The Confucian scholar just nodded and hummed without expressing much.

On the contrary, the white-faced and beardless young man behind Wang Zhongmao took a second look at Li Qian and the three of them, and then went up to greet them: "The nephew and grandson have met the eldest aunt, the second aunt, and the cousin."

Li Gan was taken aback, eldest aunt?Second aunt?Cousin?

These people are also relatives of Qin Hui? ?
He turned his head to look at the old eunuch, but unexpectedly, the old eunuch also looked shocked.

I wanted to borrow Zhang Hu's skin to use it, but I didn't expect to meet the right owner!

The older beautiful woman smiled and stepped forward to help the young man up: "You child, why are you so polite?"

The atmosphere among the few people became much more relaxed, and they all walked towards the second hall together.

The three of Li Gan looked at each other, a little dumbfounded, and followed them into the second hall.

The people outside the hall are watching. Inside the hall, there is a green robe, a black gauze double-winged hat on the head, and a round of sea waves facing the sun. They are sitting majestically behind the table, and the chest is embroidered with egrets about to fly. Buzi, sternly looked at the trembling young man in blue.

"It's not too late to invite it as it is, did you move Li Dafu's salute on the table?"

The boy was so frightened that he could hardly speak: "Master...I..."

The pusher continued to say angrily: "Your testimony is inconsistent. First, you said you never went to Li Dafu's room. Later, when you were testified against him, you also said that you went to change Li Dafu's hot water!"

"If you want to continue the investigation, I can still find out the mistakes! But if you continue to quibble and refuse to admit it to death, then don't blame me for being merciless!"

The boy was so frightened that he couldn't stop crying. He knelt on the ground and kowtowed, crying, "My lord, I've got my heart covered by lard! You don't care about me! My lord, please forgive me!" people!"

The pusher ignored his cries and shouted: "I sentence you to return the stolen property, and Mo Xing will serve you!"

Li Dafu, the plaintiff at the side, immediately knelt down and shouted: "My villain, thank you, Master Qingtian! Thank you, Master Qingtian!"

Seeing this scene, Li Qian nodded slightly. This person was originally the county magistrate of Taiping County, and it seems that he still has two brushes in judging cases.

"What's this person's name?" Li Gan looked sideways at the old eunuch.

"Master, his name is He Zhu." The old eunuch said hastily.

"Um……"

Li Gan nodded slightly, remembering the person's name.

After hearing the case, He Zhu, the pusher, glanced at the door, as if he saw someone, and immediately straightened his back a little.

"Bring Zhou Lei, Song Changtong!"

Song Changtong was the unlucky wealthy businessman who had his jewels stolen and sued Zhou Lei. At this moment, he walked in wearing sackcloth and filial piety with red eyes. When he got up, he knelt down and shouted: "My lord, the villain wants to withdraw the lawsuit!"

"Withdrawal?"

Whether it was He Zhu, Zhou Lei, or Qin Hui's relatives, they were all stunned.

The wealthy businessman Song Changtong's eyes were red, and he gritted his teeth and said: "Go back to the lord, the villain wants to tell the servant Song Qi! This morning he sneaked out with a box of jewels, and was bumped into by the servants of the house!"

"Those jewels are exactly the ones lost in the villain's house!"

"It turns out that it was this thief who stole the jewelry that day, and my mother was also killed by this person..."

Looking at the weeping Song Changtong, it took He Zhu a long time to recover: "What about Song Qi? Did you bring him? Did you confess?"

Song Changtong immediately straightened up: tears streaming down his face: "Go back to the elder, it has been brought!"

The criminal has confessed himself, so what else is there to try in this case?

He Zhu held back his energy for several days, as if he had been punched in the fist, and sentenced Zhou Lei not guilty, and sent Song Qi, who stole things and murdered his master, to death row.

Mrs. Zhou picked up Zhou Lei, tears kept falling, and relatives around rushed up to comfort him.

Seeing this scene, Li Qian also nodded in satisfaction, and led the old eunuch and Lu Bu to the outside of the yamen.

Unexpectedly, not long after leaving the yamen, he was stopped by two burly servants in green clothes and small caps.

Li Gan looked at the two of them curiously, but heard footsteps coming from behind.

He turned his head to look, only to find that the person who came was the white-faced, beardless young man who had just followed behind Wang Zhong'ao, staring at himself and the others coldly, followed by two strong slaves.

"You guys just said that my father has done a lot of bad things outside? Do you want him to thank you?"
