After a sleepless night, Liao Weizhang couldn't sleep until the fourth watch, and it was really boring to lie on the bed and toss and turn, so he simply got up and went to the study.

He lit the lamp, sat in front of the desk for a while, cleared his mind, picked up the pen and paper and began to draft the fold, from the Fan brothers to Luojia Village to Li Dan, every detail was written, and after the completion of the careful consideration and revision, repeated three times finally felt that it was appropriate, and then officially put the pen on the fold.

It has been five watches after the excerpt was written, and the subordinates in the house have already gotten up one after another to start their day's work, Liao Weizhang put the excerpt away and went back to the bedroom.

His wife Zhang had already gotten up, and was wondering where he had gone, when she saw him enter the door, she stepped forward with her official robe, "My lord got up early today, can't you sleep for the sake of Yangshan Academy?"

Liao Weizhang only said something to her, and nodded while dressing: "I have written an excerpt and am going to present it to the emperor today." There was some hesitation in his tone, the matter had not yet been concluded, he just submitted his guess, and he was not sure whether the emperor wanted a clear result or the truth.

Although Zhang didn't understand, he also knew what to say: "It is said that a companion is like a tiger, even if the lord looks at the emperor's face and acts, there will be no mistake." ”

Look at the emperor's face and figure out the emperor's thoughts. Liao Weizhang pondered for a moment, and had already made up his mind in his heart.

Just after the fifth watch, the Xuanwu Gate was opened from the inside, and the officials waiting outside the door entered the palace one after another into the Zhenghe Palace, and after waiting for a while, the eunuch Emperor Xuan arrived, and the civil and military officials knelt down and shouted long live.

The early dynasty has not changed much compared with the past, Liao Weizhang listened absentmindedly, until the eunuch loudly announced his retreat to the court, he suddenly came back to his senses, and then saw that the officials had retreated one after another, and quickly retreated.

When he arrived at the door, Liao Weizhang looked around, walked to the inner prison with his head down, and whispered in the inner prison's ear: "Father-in-law, I have something to play to the emperor alone, and I ask my father-in-law to report it." ”

The inner prison looked left and right, glanced at it and whispered, "Jing Zhaoyin, please come with the slave." ”

The two went to the side hall, and the eunuch spoke: "The emperor has already instructed the minions, if Jing Zhaoyin has an excerpt to play, just hand it over to the minions." ”

Liao Weizhang hesitated slightly, and the fold hidden in the cuff was not in a hurry to take it out.

The eunuch smiled: "The emperor also instructed the slave to bring this letter to Jing Zhaoyin, in fact, even if you don't come to find the minion, the minion will stop you at the door." ”

Liao Weizhang took the letter first, opened it and read it, his face was clear, and he immediately took out the fold and handed it to the eunuch: "There is Gonggong Lao." ”

"Don't dare. The eunuch took the fold and gave it up.

Liao Weizhang left as if relieved.

Out of the Xuanwu Gate, the sky was already bright, and the family blew out the lantern and asked, "Master, but go home?"

"Go to the Yamen. Liao Weizhang walked to his carriage.

At this time, the surrounding carriages and sedan chairs were almost finished, and Liao Weizhang noticed that there was a sedan chair in the corner, in addition to the four sedan chair drivers, there were also four family members, one of whom saw him and walked towards him.

Liao Weizhang was very strange, so he didn't rush to get into the carriage, he guessed that the person was coming for him, and the person in the sedan chair must be waiting for him.

"The slave is the family member of the household servant, and my lord wants to invite Jing Zhaoyin to the house to talk about it. ”

Liao Weizhang didn't remember that he had any intersection with this person, but considering that the other party's rank was above his own, he naturally wanted to go up and pay respects. Then he followed the family and walked over.

"Squire-sama. Liao Weizhang walked over and saluted.

The family opened the sedan curtain, Liu Gan walked out of it with a smile, and replied: "I heard that Jing Zhaoyin is a young talent, and when I saw it today, it was really extraordinary." ”

Liao Weizhang didn't think this was a real compliment, and politely waved his head: "Lord Shilang praised it falsely, and the lower officials thank Lord Shilang for their sincere invitation, but there are still important things on the Yamen." The lower officials are offended, and they really can't get out of their bodies today, and the lower officials will definitely visit them to apologize for their sins another day. ”

Liu Gan smiled again, patted Liao Weizhang's shoulder very politely, and behaved as if he had been a friend for many years: "Don't worry, brother Xian, I heard your name a long time ago, and I happened to see you come out just now, so I wanted to invite Brother Xian to sit in the cold house." Since the virtuous brother has important things to do, where do I dare to delay your business, it is important to do things for the emperor. ”

Liao Weizhang's heart moved, and he smiled: "As a member of the imperial court, we are all doing things for the emperor and the people. ”

Liu Gan squinted his eyes, "Brother Xian is worthy of being a talent personally selected by the emperor, since you still have something to do, I won't delay your time, I'll invite you another day." ”

Liao Weizhang bowed his hand, waited for Liu Gan to get into the sedan chair, and then returned to his carriage.

On the carriage, Liao Weizhang kept thinking about why Liu Gan had what he did just now. He seemed to want to find out something from his mouth, but he didn't seem to say anything serious, and when he thought about Fang Cai's words again, he felt that there was nothing wrong with him.

I thought of the emperor's edict given to him by the eunuch Shicai, which said that there was no need to hide the matter of Wu Ji Micang, so did it mean that the emperor was going to prepare for a public trial of the case?

Although Liao Weizhang couldn't guess the emperor's thoughts, according to his understanding, if Liu Gan asked a few more words just now, he wouldn't hide it.

The carriage stopped, and the housekeeper lifted the curtain: "Master, it's here." ”

Liao Weizhang packed up his mood and got out of the carriage, the most important thing for him now is to find evidence of Li Dan's bribery first.

At that time, Fan Tie was sitting in the backyard of Wu Ji Rice Warehouse, and his heart was like a mess.

He knew that Liao Weizhang would not give up, but he didn't expect that this person was really not simple, and he actually saw his thoughts, and yesterday he sent the eyeliner to the yamen to tell him that Jing Zhaoyin took dozens of officials to the eastern townships and counties.

Fan Tie immediately panicked, although when he negotiated with Li Dan, he proposed that those villages must be dealt with. Li Dan also agreed, Fan Tiezhi understood what he meant, so the silver was given so generously, no matter how you say it, it is dozens of lives.

Since then, he has not been to Luojia Village, let alone had contact with Li Dan, but he has sent someone to inquire quietly, and sure enough, no one knows about Luojia Village, so he thinks that Li Dan has already dealt with everything.

Later, Li Dan asked him for silver a few times, and he gladly gave it, because he recorded every payment, and the more Li Dan collected himself, the more he couldn't get rid of it, and naturally the deeper this matter was hidden.

In fact, the reason why Fan Tie didn't doubt it was because he felt that if Li Dandandan, if he had a little brain, he would know that this matter was also a matter of losing his head, and out of consideration for his own safety, he would also deal with this hot potato quickly.

However, Fan Tie never thought that Li Dan was even more greedy and stupid than he imagined, and that guy thought that he could really cover the sky with one hand. If it weren't for the eyeliner report last night and the matter of Luojia Village, he would never have guessed that Li Dan would still quietly raise those who were about to die.

Li Dan didn't have to think about it to know that he was going to use these people to threaten himself, I am afraid that he wanted to take more silver, if it wasn't for the refreshment he gave him a few times before, he was afraid that he would have threatened himself.

Fan Tie hated himself at this time, blaming himself for being really smart and confused for a while, how could he believe Li Dan. Well, last night, Li Dan's house was turned upside down, not to mention, and he himself was also imprisoned. Fan Tie didn't dare to think about the result.

As soon as Fan Qing entered the door, he saw Fan Tie sitting still with a dull face, he was startled, and stepped forward and shouted, "Big brother, what's the matter, hurriedly called me over, what happened?"

Fan Tie came back to his senses for a while, glared at Fan Qing fiercely, and scolded with hatred: "What do you think is the matter at this juncture?
