Chapter 332: King Ji intervenes
Jinling Imperial Palace, Chengxin Hall.
Li Yu held a rare glass bowl in his hand, and after taking a sip of tea, he looked at the stacks of folds on the table, all of which were aimed at Peng Jingqing's case and the impeachment of Peng Zeliang.
"What kind of people are these!" Li Yu was a little irritable in his heart, the backlog of so many cases in the Criminal Department had not been resolved, but they were all eyeing this case, and it was obvious that someone in the DPRK wanted to use the topic to play, and the motive was not pure.
If it weren't for Su Chen's suggestion, Peng Jingqing would have been wronged, and Li Yu would really not be able to suppress it, but now, he just felt that these people had ulterior motives.
This is the relationship between Aiwu and Wu, Li Yu cherishes Emperor E and Zhong Xuan, and Su Chen is saving the lives of the two, so Li Yu is more inclined to Su Chen's side, as long as Su Chen really finds out that Peng Jingqing was wronged, then Li Yu will definitely support it to the end.
Even, before the investigation of the case, he had already believed in Su Chen seventy percent and had a preconceived idea.
"Feng Jian, what do you think of this matter, believe Su Chen's words, or these twists and turns?"
Li Yu had no one to talk to, so he had to chat with his most trusted eunuch manager.
Feng Jian was in his fifties, standing for a long time, his body bowed slightly, and when he heard this, his body straightened up a little, and he chuckled at the corner of his mouth: "Old slave, I don't have any opinions, everything depends on the official family." β
Li Yu shook his head and said: "If you say it, you just say it, you don't need any advanced opinions, you just say it by feeling!" β
Feng Jian saw that Li Yu was really asking his opinion, and he also understood in his heart that this young official had a somewhat indecisive personality, which was different from Emperor Yuanzong's rigidity, so he smiled and said warmly: "The old slave thinks that Su Chen's medical skills are so clever that he can find out that the prince's medicine has been poisoned, and he can also treat smallpox, and he can cure the queen. This kind of medical skill, even the imperial doctor is not as good as him, since he said that the death of Cha Yuanxian, there may be something strange, perhaps, he can really find out something, the matter is big, human life is at stake, the old slave tutor thinks that it is appropriate to check the truth. β
Li Yu nodded when he heard this, and agreed: "I also think so, Su Chen's medical skills are excellent, if he sees the problems in this matter, seventy or eighty percent can't be wrong, if Peng Jingqing is innocent, then there is no human factor behind the cause of Zha Yuanxian's death, there may be a storm involved, if that is the case, someone is really pressing Su Chen step by step!" β
"The old slave doesn't know, or wait for the truth to come out, and the official family will make a decision......" Feng Jian didn't say anything, as the chief eunuch, he couldn't have obvious opinions, after all, Emperor Liezu left ancestral training for the royal family, and eunuchs were not allowed to interfere in politics, so Feng Jian was able to receive the respect and trust of the Tang lords of the two dynasties, because he knew what to say and what not to say!
Although it seems that the general manager didn't say anything and was very objective, there was also guidance between the lines, and he still supported Su Chen to continue to find the truth of the case.
At this moment, a eunuch came in to tell him, and His Royal Highness King Ji asked to see him.
"How did Congqian enter the palace?" Li Yu groaned for a while, and asked the little eunuch on duty at the door to summon people in.
Feng Jian's eyes flashed with an imperceptible smile, bowed his head slightly, and stopped talking.
After a while, Li Congqian, the king of Ji, came in from outside the palace and first gave Li Yu the gift of a monarch and a minister.
"They are all brothers, there are no outsiders here, so there is no need to be polite." Li Yu got up, helped Li Congqian up, and asked people to move Jindun to give him a seat.
"Brother Xie Huang!"
Li Yu said in a kind tone, and asked: "Lao Jiu, why are you free today, you are here in the palace, you rarely come to visit me." β
Li Congqian is the ninth in line, and Li Yu is a brother of the same father and mother, so the relationship is closer, and he is also quite loved by Empress Dowager Zhong and Li Yu.
"Every time I enter the palace, I go to visit the queen mother, and I am worried that it will disturb the imperial brother's review and affect national politics, so I don't bother." Li Congqian replied.
Li Yu patted him on the shoulder and said, "If this is the case, I won't be busy all the time, we are brothers, even if we have the status of a monarch and minister, we shouldn't be unfamiliar." β
Li Congqian smiled and said: "The imperial brother is too careful, and the younger brother still expects to hold the royal brother's thigh and enjoy a lifetime of glory and wealth, how can he be unfamiliar!" β
Hearing what he said interestingly, Li Yu also smiled and asked him, "When you entered the palace today, did you go to visit the queen mother?" β
"Not yet, I just met the day before yesterday, and when I entered the palace today, I really have something to discuss with the imperial brother."
"What's the matter?" Li Yu showed a hint of suspicion.
Li Congqian said seriously: "My younger brother was outside, and I heard that Peng Jingqing, the daughter of Yin Peng Zeliang of Jiangning Mansion, was openly murdered on the street, and the little son of the Cha family vomited blood, and was carried back to the mansion, and died within a night, becoming a homicide. That Cha Yuanfang became the secretary of the minister's brother's house, and today he went to the house to cry bitterly, complaining about his grievances, the Cha family was worried that Peng Jingqing's fiancΓ© Su Chen was treating the queen, and the official family would open up the net because of this, and the royal brother felt that this matter involved the laws and regulations of the country, and asked the imperial brother to never read his merits, so he agreed to Su Chen's request and directly pardoned Peng Jingqing. β
After Li Yu heard this, he showed a sudden expression, it turned out that Li Congqian, the king of Ji today, entered the palace for Peng Jingqing's case, and he wanted to come out for the investigation family!
"Who said that I would agree to Su Chen's request and pardon Peng Jingqing?" Li Yu asked instead of answering.
Li Congqian was stunned and said: "The Cha family heard that Su Chen entered the palace to ask to meet the saint, and they were worried that the official family would not be able to change it once the golden mouth was opened, so they asked me to attack and persuade, didn't the imperial brother agree to Su Chen's request?" That's good, you must not open this opening and chill other officials in the imperial court! β
Li Yu glanced at him, shook his head and said: "Su Chen entered the palace not to intercede for Peng Jingqing's case at all, he entered the palace to see me because he wanted to participate in the investigation of this case, because he suspected that Zha Yuanxian's death was not directly related to Peng Jingqing's lesson, fist and foot beating, either an attack of internal disease, or a second injury by others." β
After Li Congqian listened, he felt that it was impossible, and said with a smile: "How is this possible, I haven't heard that the little son of the Cha family is sick, in addition, Cha Yuanxian was directly carried back to the mansion after being injured, and the Cha family was heavily guarded, and I didn't hear that it was attacked, so these two points are impossible, and the imperial brother will not really agree to him to participate in the investigation of these two items." β
Li Yu nodded slightly and said, "Su Chen's medical skills are unparalleled, he will not be targeted, and I also want to know the truth!" β
"That's impossible!" Li Congqian still did not give up.
Li Yu said firmly: "Only after checking can you know, you can't rely on assumptions, if you can't find out, then Su Chen will also die." In case it is found out, it can also be done fairly! β
Li Congqian was speechless, after all, what the official said was reasonable, if he didn't let the truth be checked, it would seem that there was a problem, he didn't believe it, but he couldn't completely arbitrarily deny the investigation, so he said, "Since the imperial brother has arranged it like this, the imperial brother and I have no objection, what is the truth, it depends on whether he Su Chen can really find the clues, and now, I am also curious by him, is there a problem with this matter." β
Li Yu nodded slightly and said: "Tomorrow, the three divisions will be tried, there will be clues, I will wait and see what happens, and see if what Su Chen said is true!" β
