Little Detective of the Tang Dynasty: What to do if you are beheaded at the beginning?

Six days later, a new Imperial Censor came from Chang'an.

He was not the Wang Yifang that Song Zhen and Di Renjie knew.

Di Renjie asked curiously, "Where is Imperial Censor Wang?"

Imperial Censor Yang suddenly became nervous. He looked around and whispered, "Wang Yifang, he was demoted."

"Why?" Di Renjie was stunned, but Song Zhen knew the reason.

According to historical records, Li Yifu fell in love with a female prisoner who was detained and tried by the Dali Temple, and then bribed the Dali Temple Secretary Bi Zhengyi to release her without guilt, and took Chunyu as a concubine.

Dali Temple Minister Duan Zhengxuan suspected that there was something fishy about the case, so he reported it to Li Zhi.

Li Zhi arranged for someone to interrogate Bi Zhengyi. Li Yifu was worried that the matter would be exposed, so he forced Bi Zhengyi to commit suicide in prison.

Wang Yifang knew about this, and he knew that he was insignificant and his words were not taken seriously, but he still wanted to impeach Li Yifu. His mother was very supportive of his approach and said, "If you can serve Tang with all your loyalty, I will not regret it even if I die."

The result is obvious. The stubborn Wang Yifang refused to give in in the hall, which made Li Zhi lose face.

So, instead of punishing Li Yifu, Li Zhi accused Wang Yifang of insulting ministers and demoted him to the post of Sihu of Laizhou.

As for why Li Zhi favored Li Yifu, Song Zhen did not comment.

It's just a pity that Wang Yifang didn't listen to him.

But on second thought, if he listened, would he still be the righteous Wang Yifang?

What has happened will happen again. What has been done will be done again.

Song Zhen was relieved. Since some history cannot be changed, he should be a witness.

......

Di Renjie was drinking in Huichunfang in depression. Song Zhen just picked up a piece of sashimi, paused for a while, and then put it down.

Thinking in his heart, damn, I have a big heart!

Freshwater fish have many parasites. If you want to die, eat more!

So he put down his chopsticks and grabbed the roasted lamb leg next to him and ate it.

Di Renjie was speechless: "Shouzheng, aren't you sad that Wang Yushi was demoted?" After all, they worked together for a while, visited brothels together, and established a deep friendship with each other.

"Sad?" Song Zhen puffed his cheeks and stammered, "You have to eat even if you are sad."

"I remember you seemed to have handed a note to Wang Yushi before, right?"

"Yeah."

"What did it say?"

"If you are patient, you will be calm. If you take a step back, you will have a bright future."

Di Renjie was surprised: "So you have guessed it a long time ago? So you deliberately asked those questions?"

"What else? With Jing Xianjun's character, will he choose to stand by and watch?"

Song Zhen put down the roasted lamb leg, tore off a piece of lamb ribs, and said while eating: "His character is like this. Even if nothing goes wrong this time, it will happen next time. Let's take it easy."

Di Renjie was unwilling: "But, I don't think he is wrong?"

"Ah, yes, yes, he is not wrong, it is this world that is wrong."

At this point, Di Renjie shut up wisely. If he continued to discuss, it would be taboo.

"I warn you, don't learn from him."

"I know, I know. I will listen to you from now on."

......

On the other side, at the Fengqiu County government office, Governor Lu was receiving Censor Yang.

"I wonder what Censor Yang has come from afar to take care of?"

Censor Yang smiled and said, "Oh, Governor Lu, look at what you said? You should take care of me."

"Oh?" Lu Yang was puzzled, and three question marks appeared above his head.

Censor Yang took out a document of appointment and handed it to him respectfully.

Lu Yang curiously opened it and took a look, then his hand shook and the document of appointment fell to the ground.

"Governor Lu?"

"Sorry, I'm too excited."

Excited as hell? I'm so fucking excited! I originally thought that I could be transferred horizontally and quickly stay away from those two plague gods, but...

The good news is that he was promoted from the lower fourth rank to the third rank.

The bad news is that he will go to Bingzhou as a governor, and work with Di Renjie and Song Zhen again.

Governor Lu wanted to cry but had no tears.

Li Zhi felt that he did a good job as a governor, unlike other governors who deliberately concealed murders.

Moreover, the verdict was very fair and reasonable, and he deserved a reward.

Li Zhi deeply realized that his ministers were pretending to obey him, and deliberately whitewashed the world in order to show him a prosperous era.

The main reason was that the group of governors were too damn outrageous.

A state with a population of more than 30,000 households, and it took three years, three whole years, to submit a murder case?

Is this reasonable?

Look at Bianzhou, which submitted three murder cases in just a few days without any concealment.

This is how a minister should be, and this is how a good official of the people should be.

Li Zhi scolded his ministers in the hall.

"It is precisely because of your behavior of muddling through and deceiving your superiors and subordinates that you have been so careless., so that the people of the entire Tang Dynasty cannot redress their grievances and cannot redress their grievances. What do you think of me? "

The Dali Temple official sighed and said, I am afraid that I will not have a leisurely life in the future.

To be honest, why the people below did not report it actually has something to do with the Dali Temple.

It is said that the laws of the Tang Dynasty are complete, but they are too complete, which makes the case-judgment process too cumbersome.

There are very few people like Di Renjie who can recite the "Tang Law Commentary" by heart, and most of them have to look up the dictionary on the spot.

And if the Dali Temple is reported, the murder case needs to be reviewed. If the people of the Dali Temple find out something, they will be dismissed from office at the least and exiled at the worst.

Who is willing to take this risk? It is better not to report it.

Also, the power of the local gentry is deeply rooted. Some people, they can't afford to offend at all, so they have to turn a blind eye.

In the hall, Li Zhi solemnly named and praised Lu Yang, the governor of Bianzhou , asking everyone to learn from him.

Why not mention Di Renjie and Song Zhen? Because they are not qualified.

Never expected that Lu Yang would become the biggest beneficiary?

After hearing what Censor Yang said, Lu Yang's mentality changed, especially towards Song Zhen and Di Renjie.

If it weren't for these two brothers, would he be able to rise to prominence?

That's the governor of Shangzhou. Even in the Fanyang Lu family, few people have been able to achieve the third-rank position since the founding of the dynasty.

Currently, only Lu Chengqing from the Beizu Dafang is at the same level as him, and is the governor of Ruzhou.

This time when he goes back, won't the second house treat him like a big boss? It's a great honor for the family, isn't it?

As for being scared and angry by Song Zhen? Hey, that's nothing!

Lu Yang's thoughts were clear in an instant, and he wanted to shout!

"Song Zhen, you are my father! Di Renjie, you are also my father! "

When Song Zhen and Di Renjie returned to the county government office, they saw Lu Yang standing at the door with a big smile on his face to greet them.

"Shouzheng——"

Song Zhen glanced at him lightly and said sarcastically: "Oh, you didn't call me that before."

Lu Yang's old face turned red and he said awkwardly: "Yes, it's my fault." He didn't even dare to say "old man".

He personally helped Song Zhen and Di Renjie pull out the chairs and poured a glass of water.

He sat aside and had a good exchange of feelings with the two elders.

We are all family, so there is no hurdle that we can't overcome, right?

Song Zhen said, who the hell is your family?

After hearing this, Lu Yang's anger almost jumped up. He smiled and took a deep breath, and silently said to calm down in his heart.

So, he quickly changed the subject.

"The verdict of the Zhao family has come down."

Di Renjie asked curiously: "How is it? ”

“Maintain the original sentence you and Xue Sicheng discussed, and——”

“The execution will be carried out in early February. At that time, Xue Sicheng will come to supervise the execution in person.”
