I served as an admonisher in the Song Dynasty

Chapter 219 The officialdom is sinister and there is a hidden needle in the fabric, Master Li
  After half an hour.

Su Liang followed Zhang Maoze to the Imperial City Division.

Zhang Maoze is currently engaged in the Imperial City's official affairs as a chamberlain, and he is a veritable leader of the Imperial City.

At the same time, Su Liang also learned.

The person in charge of the case was Li Zhongshi, Dian Zhongcheng, who was responsible for the official affairs of the counties and towns in Kaifeng Prefecture.

Su Liang didn't recognize this person.

At present, Hong Yougen, the main culprit of engraving prophecies against the Song Dynasty and engraver of Baijia College, has been imprisoned.

Hong Yougen's master at Baijia College, Wangcang, a seventy-year-old engraver who was good at engraving and printing, was also imprisoned.

Cao Yi and Cao Guojiu were placed under house arrest in the Imperial City Division.

At the moment, Su Liang relies on the grace of God and has not yet been dismissed.

According to the laws of the Song Dynasty, he has the responsibility to cooperate with the investigation, but he cannot be detained for interrogation.

After a while.

Zhang Maoze and Su Liang came to a back hall of the Imperial City Division.

Sitting in the middle of the room was a middle-aged man with a somewhat stout figure, it was Master Li.

When Zhongshi Li saw Su Liang walking into the hall, he subconsciously stood up.

Su Liang's name is known to both the government and the public.

He looks gentle and elegant, but his tongue is like a sword and his lips are like daggers.

Anyone who is impeached by him will lose at least half his life.

Although Zhongshi Li had no contact with Su Liang, he did not like Su Liang.

Because of the Song Dynasty's reform and the one-hundred-day examination of officials, his workload increased several times.

Moreover, the current reform strategies are harmful to his career advancement.

However, Zhongshi Li is an old cunning official.

It was rare to see him show his true nature.

He looked at Su Liang and said with great enthusiasm: "Su Yushi, I am an official in the same dynasty. I admire you very much, but I have never had the opportunity to get acquainted with you. I didn't expect that we would meet in the Imperial City Division."

"Li, please be polite!" Su Liang also greeted with a smile.

Zhang Mao then said: "Li Tidian, if you have any questions, just ask Su Yushi."

Zhongshi Li nodded and stretched out his hand in a gesture of invitation.

"Su Yushi, please sit down. I have been ordered to secretly investigate this case. I have several questions to ask Su Yushi. I would like to ask Su Yushi to explain it in more detail so that the case can be solved as soon as possible and Su Yushi can be freed. "

"Just ask Li if you have any questions, and I will answer them seriously." Su Liang said simply and decisively.

If an official who had just entered the officialdom saw that Zhongshi Li was so enthusiastic about Su Liang and said such words as "solve the case as soon as possible and return Su Yushi's freedom", he would definitely think that Zhongshi Li was looking towards Su Liang.

But Su Liang pretended that he had never heard these words.

The water in the court is deep.

Master Li might have asked him to relax his guard first, and then continue digging holes!
  Su Liang has been serving as an admonishment officer in Taiwan for nearly five years, but he is still wary of strangers.

He will answer truthfully, but he will never talk too much.

Too many words will be lost.

Many frame-up schemes only capture verbal errors.

Immediately, all three people sat down.

Zhongshi Li said: "I have interrogated the main criminal Hong Yougen and his wife Wang Cang, and also questioned Uncle Guo."

"Wang Cang is over seventy years old and is still a little deaf. It is unlikely that he knows the prophecy version of this picture. Uncle Cao Guo also didn't know anything about it. With his temperament, he should not know about it."

"But Hong Yougen confessed that the sealing of the prophecies was ordered by Su Yushi. He said that Su Yushi Dao could only bring chaos to the Song Dynasty and then rule the Song Dynasty, in order to demonstrate the power of the Baijia Academy, and he also gave him Baiguan Money, I wonder if Yushi Su said this? Could you give him a hundred thousand dollars?"

"No." Su Liang spit out two words.

The words are concise and concise, and there is no intention to explain further.

Zhongshi Li paused and then said: "Hong Yougen also explained that the unannounced dean behind Baijia College is either Fan Xianggong or Fu Xianggong. As far as I know, Baijia College has never established a dean. Su Yu Can Shi give a reason?"

Su Liang did not expect that the framer would not only harm him, but also drag Fan Zhongyan and Fu Bi into trouble. But these words really stopped him in his tracks.

He cannot be said to be a current official.

Before Baijia College became the exclusive government office of the imperial court, it was absolutely impossible to say that an official was the dean of Baijia College.

Otherwise, the yamen of the Song Dynasty would be in chaos.

He thought for a while and said: "The reason why we have not appointed a dean is because there is no suitable candidate. As a supervisor, I am suitable, but as a dean, I am somewhat lacking in qualifications. Cao Guojiu is also relatively young and cannot be the dean, so I will be vacant first." It’s burning.”

"As for what that person said about Mr. Fan and Mr. Fu, it's impossible. They are not suitable for Baijia Academy."

Lieutenant Commander Li nodded.

A writer beside him recorded everything Su Liang said.

After Su Liang answered a few simple questions, Master Li asked again: "Su Yushi, do you know Liu Chang'er from Liu Ji's Bookstore in Wheat Straw Lane, East of Zhuque Gate?"

Su Liang was stunned for a moment, then immediately replied: "Yes, he is my informant."

Every Taiwan admonishment official has informants among the people.

In order to understand public opinion and official style reviews, or to facilitate rumors and reports.

This is known to everyone in the official family and the court.

Zhang Mao on the side couldn't help but ask: "Is this person also related to the Tucheng case?"

Zhongshi Li said: "Around noon today, the officials I dispatched found several prophecies in Liu Ji's bookstore. Liu Chang'er was suspected of being the disseminator. Although he did not admit it, Hong Yougen claimed that he also gave the prophecies to Liu Ji. There are nearly a hundred books on Long Ears.”

Immediately, Zhongshi Li asked a few more simple questions and said: "Su Yushi, I have finished asking my questions. Hong Yougen's identification has no solid evidence, and your answer is also correct. I will report the truth to the official." Home."

After saying that, Zhongshi Li stood up.

Su Liang was taken aback for a moment, but he didn't expect this inquiry to be so simple.

But when he thought about it carefully, he realized how terrifying this Commander Li was.

The other party knows that Taiwanese admonishers have read countless cases and will not admit it even if they are guilty, and can come up with multiple reasons to quibble.

Therefore, he had no intention of asking anything from Su Liang.

And if he wanted to frame Su Liang, the officials might not believe him, so he came up with a trick: retreat in order to advance.

What Zhongshi Li said about "reporting to the officials truthfully" is: it is true that the main culprit Hong Yougen was a student of Baijia Academy, it is true that Su Liang's informant Liu Chang'er spread anti-Song Dynasty prophecies, but Su Liang did not admit that it was Engraved Seal. The mastermind behind the rebellion prophecy.

But all the evidence points to Su Liang.

First of all, Su Liang's charge of poor supervision has been implemented.

If the charge of "suspected mastermind of engraving anti-Song pictures and prophecies" is added, it will be the same as the charge of "suspected rebellion" with Fu Bi and Shi Jie, and they will inevitably be demoted and released.

The ultimate goal of the mastermind of this matter is to get Su Liang to leave the capital.

This move is really too destructive.

It is also a trick often used in official battles.

Normally, Su Liang was most suspicious of Xia Song, who was the best at this strategy.

but now.

He had too many enemies, and he really didn't know who was behind it.

Su Liang stopped talking to Zhongshi Li and immediately left the Imperial City Division with Zhang Maoze.

……

After a while.

In the carriage, Su Liang and Zhang Mao were sitting opposite each other.

Su Liang smiled and said: "Mr. Zhang, I want to ask a question. If you don't give me a definite answer, I'm afraid I won't be able to sleep tonight!"

Zhang Mao shook his head slightly.

"Don't ask, I really can't answer, but what I can say is, trust your own judgment!"

Hearing this, Su Liang took a long breath, and Zhang Mao already knew what he was going to ask.

Now, there is a high probability that he will be saved.

The question Su Liang wants to ask is: Is Liu Chang'er from the Imperial City Division?
