Chapter Seventy-Eight: Night Detective
Li Fan has been stationed at the border and led troops for many years, and he knows more and more deeply than Bai Li Feng. Pen % fun % Pavilion www.biquge.info
Although the Great Jin Dynasty has a large land area and looks at the peaceful appearance of the prosperous era, other countries are unable to find out and are jealous, but for characters like Li Fan, they naturally know the foundation of the country.
The first emperor was ambitious, and he was very happy, and he had many battles during his reign, and also achieved a lot of good results. But as long as the war is together, it will inevitably be a matter of labor and money. Although Dajin had some family background earlier, it could not withstand such losses, so that it left an empty shell for today's saints.
The treasury is empty.
What's more, when he was the prince today, he was inconspicuous, and no one would regard him as the future emperor, so he was never focused on upbringing. After succeeding to the throne, it was obvious that both temperament and skill were not as good as the previous emperor, otherwise the queen mother, who seemed to be peaceful and indisputable, would not be able to control the government.
The saint's means are insufficient, but he is bent on fighting against the queen mother, so the court officials are divided, except for the neutral faction, there are royalists and support the queen mother.
The political situation in the center of the temple is still unstable, and the local people's hearts are also fluctuating. Especially those feudal officials who hold military power in their hands don't have much awe for the emperor who is far away in the court, so they are afraid that they are also ambitious inside. Even Li Fan, who has been loyal and good for generations for generations, if one day the court is judged to establish himself as the king, Bai Lifeng will not be too surprised.
But in the matter of disaster relief food, there will always be some unexpected situations that make Baili Feng feel uneasy. If it weren't for the fact that the current general direction of development hadn't ruined her previous plans, she would probably have to stop it for the time being.
Once you stop at this moment, I don't know when I will have another chance. Just when people from all sides were thinking about the robbery of disaster relief food,
There was news from Kyoto that there was news about the robbery of the disaster grain: it was the Qingyan Gang who was in charge of that section of the transportation that stole it.
What's more, the imperial court has found the looted disaster relief grain in the warehouse under the name of the Qingyan Gang, and the amount is exactly the same.
If it weren't for the stolen goods that were found, the Qingyan Gang's charges wouldn't have been so easily confirmed. But now it seems that the charges of the Qingyan Gang are a sure thing.
But what Bai Lifeng paid attention to was that the part of the relief grain found by the imperial court was not replaced with wheat bran.
That's weird. If it was really the Qingyan Gang who robbed this batch of relief food, why didn't there be the part in it that they had replaced with wheat bran before? And why didn't they hide the handle?
But what is even more strange is that the person who exposed the Qingyan Gang was Li Fan's father, Li Yanzhuo Li's old general.
The case of the robbery of disaster relief grain shook the government and the opposition, and now that the case has been solved, it is also of great significance. The Qingyan Gang was surrounded and suppressed by the imperial court, and was almost killed and wounded, while Li Yanzhuo, who had made meritorious contributions, once again entered the field of vision of the courtiers and the emperor after more than ten years of silence.
Li Yanzhuo was a famous iron-blooded general when he was young, and he was invincible in battles and killings. But more than ten years ago, when he attacked Dayan, he was calculated, and he suffered a knife wound on his face, although he survived by luck, his appearance was terrifying, and he was afraid of affecting the saint, so he consciously asked him to recuperate at home.
This recuperation is ten years, and if it weren't for the fact that he still has a good son stationed at the border gates, I'm afraid that even the emperor would not remember that he was still in Kyoto.
He is low-key and calm on weekdays, and almost does not take the initiative to participate in government politics. The Emperor would not have summoned him unless there was a military need. Although he does not go to the battlefield or the court, when his name is mentioned in the army, everyone knows it. If the emperor was a smart man, he should not have been allowed to raise him at home.
But it was this battle-hardened and almost forgotten veteran who found out the whereabouts of the disaster food with his own skills.
The emperor was overjoyed, and sure enough, he summoned him.
Li Yanzhuo is already in the age of destiny, but he is in good spirits, with a steady gait and a tall figure, which is better than the physical condition of many young civil officials. When the emperor looked at him at this time, he didn't think that the centipede-like scar on his face was terrifying.
He saluted the emperor, but before he could finish it, he was helped up by the emperor.
"General Li doesn't have to be polite, the disaster relief food case is also thanks to General Li."
Many of the veterans under Li Yanzhuo have returned to their hometowns. These people have no skills, and they still have injuries on their bodies, so they do most of the ordinary physical work, and no matter how bad their health is, they go to work vigils.
Coincidentally, there is such a veteran, after returning to his hometown, he worked as a night watchman in the warehouse in the Qingyan Gang.
It was this veteran who noticed the abnormality in the warehouse and found that it was full of grain that had been stolen a few days ago.
Veterans like him who have been on the battlefield know the importance of grain and grass, and they value food that can save their lives the most. When he found out about this, he didn't dare to tell others, but found an opportunity to go to General Li's old department, and then told Li Yanzhuo about the matter.
The veterans under Li Yanzhuo are willing to trust him, just like they once did on the battlefield, and trust them with their lives.
And Li Yanzhuo, who has been silent for many years, can be re-revealed because of his veterans.
The emperor summoned Li Yanzhuo, not only verbally praised him, but rewarded him for his errand, and also rewarded the veteran with silver and two cloths by the way.
Originally, Li Yanzhuo was in a state of semi-glory, but now although he is in the limelight, no one is angry with him. The civil officials have no conflict of interest with him, and as for the military attachés, Li Yanzhuo can already be regarded as the top-level existence, and those above him are all at the level of the national prince. The people below have long been incomparable, and the people above are not too worried that he will squeeze them out. Because they all know that he can't go to war again.
In the tragic war that year, Li Yanzhuo was not only disfigured and almost blinded, but more importantly, he was injured in the shoulder and could no longer afford to carry heavy weapons.
A military general who can't hold a weapon can't go to the front line of the battlefield, and he has no future.
Fortunately, Li Yanzhuo was already a general before, although he had no military power in his hands, but the title was still there. And his son Levan is also a general.
Although there are successors to the gate, everyone in Kyoto knows that the father and son are not in harmony. Li Fan went to the border, and Li Yanzhuo stayed in Kyoto.
Li Yanzhuo can also be regarded as making way for his son in disguise.
As soon as the results of a disaster relief grain robbery came out, it was really a few happy and a few worried.
Bai Li Feng himself was frightened by the attack of the fierce beast, and Bai Ri told Li Fan about these disaster relief foods, and he felt very tired. She was already fighting spirit and dealing with things with Li Fan, and as soon as she returned to the mansion, she breathed a sigh of relief, and people immediately became tired.
This time, she was tired and louder than before, alarming the people of the entire Baili Mansion. Qiong Zhi hurriedly gave her the medicine, and the person who had been tossing for half the night immediately fell asleep.
That night, a figure was as light as Feihong stepping on snow, and floated into Baili Feng's room.
