Tang Dynasty detective

Chapter 668
Li Yu touched the bridge of his nose, stared at Yang Guozhong's back and snorted, "This old fox wants to target me, but it's not that easy."

"My lord, don't be careless. After all, Qin He is the lord's steward. If someone wants to target the lord, this alone can put him in a desperate situation. In my opinion, the lord should take this matter to the heavens as soon as possible, no matter what. Get ahead of him to avoid being passive." Li Canghai said seriously.

Seeing what Li Canghai said was so serious, Li Yu also began to realize the seriousness of the situation. He clapped his palms vigorously, and said with a loud voice: "Sir, what you said is true! This old fox Yang Guozhong is insidious and cunning. If he is really caught It would be a bad idea to get hold of it! Without further ado, I'll go see Grandpa Huang and explain the whole story clearly."

After saying this, Li Yu hurriedly ran away from the hall.

After Li Yu left, Li Canghai walked alone in the imperial city.

When he came to the gate of the palace, a man in a blue official robe hurriedly stepped forward to salute him: "My lord, see you!"

Li Canghai, who was thinking about the question, heard the words, looked at the official, and asked, "Who are you? Why do you recognize me?"

The official said respectfully: "My lord, my next official is Zhou Feiyan, the left master of Dali Temple, and I came to welcome you by order of the Shaoqing of the headquarters."

"Are you from Dali Temple?" Li Canghai touched the bridge of his nose and asked.

Zhou Feiyan said respectfully: "My lord, Xiaguan and others are right."

Only then did Li Canghai recall that, as the minister of the Dali Temple, he had never even set foot on the threshold of the Dali Temple.

"Your Majesty Zhou, you don't need to be too polite. As the official of Dali Temple, I have never even entered my own house. It is really embarrassing to say it." Li Canghai said with a little embarrassment.

Zhou Feiyan hurriedly replied: "Your Excellency, you are serious. The officials should welcome you to Dali Temple on the day you return to Beijing. I hope you will forgive me for neglecting."

Li Canghai smiled, waved his hand and said, "It's okay, you and I will be colleagues from now on, so there's no need to be so polite. I just want to go to Dali Temple to have a look, so let's go."

Zhou Feiyan hurriedly bowed in response, raised the car curtain, and said, "My lord, please."

Li Canghai nodded, bent down and got into the sedan chair.

"Get up the sedan chair!" Following Zhou Feiyan's order, the sedan chair was slowly lifted up and headed towards the direction of Dali Temple.

Along the way, Li Canghai frowned, and Yang Guozhong suddenly mentioned the matter of 'Nilin Xuanwu', which made him somewhat strange.

Yang Guozhong was defeated in the confrontation with him, but he did not confront him as before, but raised the matter of "Nilin Xuanwu", which is really surprising.

Dali Temple is located in the Andingmen Gate of the Imperial City. After leaving the Imperial Palace, you have to pass through the bustling Zhuque Street.

At this time, merchants and merchants on Suzaku Street are coming and going, and pedestrians stand shoulder to shoulder, a scene of prosperity and prosperity.

"You are wronged! My lord, the women are wronged!"

……

While Li Canghai was deep in thought, an indistinct cry suddenly came from his ear.

"Where did the woman come from, leave quickly!"

"The women are wronged, please be the master for the women!"

"Since you have grievances, go to Chang'an Mansion to submit a complaint. Do you know whose sedan chair is being stopped? The person sitting here is Mr. Li, Zhengqing of Dali Temple! If you delay your trip, you can take it seriously. ? Come on, blast him away quickly!"

……

Immediately afterwards there was a burst of shoving and crying.

Li Canghai frowned, blocking the way and shouting for grievances, generally speaking, there must be indescribable grievances.

Li Canghai ordered the bearer to get off the sedan chair, then lifted the curtain of the sedan chair and walked out.

He glanced around and found an old woman with gray hair and plain clothes kneeling on the ground with tears in her eyes, surrounded by many pedestrians watching the excitement.

"Old man, you get up first, if you have any grievances, you can just tell me." Li Canghai walked up to the old woman and helped her up.

The old woman looked at Li Canghai and said tremblingly, "My lord, can you really make decisions for the old woman?"

Li Canghai smiled and said, "As the minister of Dali Temple, I naturally keep my word."

The old woman looked at Li Canghai in amazement, she didn't know what official title the Dali Temple Zhengqing was, but seeing Li Canghai was so serious, the old woman thought for a while, then tremblingly said: "My lord, the old woman has a grievance!"

"What's the grievance? But it's okay to say." Li Canghai said gently.

"Folkwomen...folkwomen...cough cough!"

I don't know if it was because someone was willing to help her because she was excited, or because her sick body could no longer be blessed, she passed out directly under the excitement.

Li Canghai hurriedly supported the old woman, pinched the old woman with his hands, took out the silver needle he carried with him, and gave the old woman the needle.

"Oh, what a pity! What a pity! This Wang family doesn't know what evil it has done, and it has fallen to this point!"

"That's right, that's right. This Wang family used to be from a wealthy family, but they suddenly became street beggars. It's really pitiful!"

……

While Li Canghai gave the old woman the needle, he listened to the whispers of the onlookers.

After a while, the old woman slowly opened her eyes from the coma. Li Canghai ordered Zhou Feiyan to help the old woman into the sedan chair, and asked him to take her to Dali Temple, and then stood up.

"I don't know how to address this old gentleman?" Li Canghai asked the old man who spoke before.

"Don't dare, dare not, the little old man's surname is Hu, everyone calls me Hu old man." The old man hurriedly bowed to Li Canghai.

"Do you know that old woman?" Li Canghai asked.

"Returning to my lord, the old woman's husband's family name is Wang, and she is the mother of Wang Qiang, a rich man in West City." Old man Hu said.

"Then do you know what wronged her? Could it be that his son was unfilial and kicked her out of the house?" Li Canghai asked.

Old man Hu shook his head and sighed: "It's not that his son is unfilial, on the contrary, his son Wang Qiang is still a first-class filial son."

"Oh? Then why is she wronged?" Li Canghai asked while rubbing his chin.

"My lord doesn't know something, and it's an outrageous thing to say." Old man Hu sighed.

"Oh? Can you tell me something?" Li Canghai asked.

Old man Hu nodded, and said, "Since the adults want to hear it, how dare the little old man disagree? It's a long story!"

"Wang Qiang was originally a villager in the countryside. His family was poor since he was a child. Before he was a weak crown, he went out to make a living. He relied on doing coolies and sourcing goods for merchants. He gradually earned a family property, married a wife and had children, and lived happily. "

Li Canghai nodded and said, "It sounds like this Wang Qiang is a very motivated person."

Old man Hu also nodded and said: "Who says it's not? Wang Qiang is illiterate, but he is honest and honest. It stands to reason that a family should live better. But the bad thing is his wife."

"Oh? How do you say that?" Li Canghai asked.

"Wang Qiang's wife is named Ma Rong. She is as beautiful as a flower and has a proud heart. She was originally the daughter of a rich family, but her family was in decline, and she was almost reduced to a brothel. Fortunately, she met Wang Qiang, so she did not fall into the situation of a brothel. Although Wang Qiang has a lot of money, but because of his mediocre appearance, he feels that he is not worthy of Ma Rong, so he loves Ma Rong very much. No matter what she wants, Wang Qiang will agree. In the eyes of outsiders, Ma Rong also loves Wang Qiang very much. Envious of others."
