It has been more than ten days since Li Tong was beaten, and Li Tiangang has not moved much in Beppu in Kyoto.

Li Tong was beaten, and Li Tiangang was naturally extremely angry. But he is a person who is very deep in the city, and now that it is a critical period for whether he can actually teach Jiangnan, he will naturally not act rashly.

However, there is no shortage of information to be collected.

Through his own information channels, he knew that it was Zhu Ping'an, the only son of An Legong, who beat people that day.

As an important minister of the Taizheng Dynasty, he naturally knows An Legong.

When this old man and Taizu met in Weiwei, although he had no ability, he was still favored in front of His Majesty. In Li Tiangang's view, this favor is also very limited, otherwise the grandfather would not have only made him an Anle Gong, but did not have a real position.

Although the Duke of Anle is very noble, he has no office and no power. In terms of power, I'm afraid that he can't even compare to a prefect, let alone him, the governor of Jiangnan.

With Li Tiangang's current power and weight in front of Taizu, not to mention an idle An Le Gong, even those princes who are a little more estranged, he has the confidence to break his wrists. The reason why he can endure it to this day is because the actual teaching has not yet been decided, and he does not want to make extraneous branches.

Today, there is finally good news.

Li Tiangang's fellow countryman, Cheng Yaowen, the current right attendant of the ministry, came to visit, and while chatting, he secretly gave Li Tiangang a reassurance.

The circulation of officials in the entire Taizheng Dynasty was raised and lowered, Shangshu Han Qing was on leave due to illness, and Cheng Yaowen, who was the director, was left behind by Taizu after today's court meeting. Taizu asked some officials about the political affairs of the ministry as usual, and then turned the conversation to Li Tiangang.

Cheng Yaowen has been up and down for many years, so he naturally heard the meaning of Taizu's words, and wanted to give the governor of Jiangnan to Li Tiangang. Now that Providence has decided, the next step is to do some procedural things.

Therefore, as soon as he came out of the palace, he rushed to Li Tiangang's house, which was not only a congratulation, but also a gesture of merit, and the implication was that he said a few words for Li Tiangang in front of Taizu.

Hearing this news, Li Tiangang was naturally overjoyed, but on the surface, he was very calm, and thanked Cheng Yaowen again and again for his kindness.

"How is Ling Gongzi's injury?" After talking about the matter, Cheng Yaowen asked casually. In the past few days, he has often come to the Li Mansion, so he naturally knows that Li Tong was beaten.

In fact, this sentence is very interesting.

Two years ago, Cheng Yaowen suffered a lot of losses because of a dispute with An Le Gong for a piece of land, and he has always held a grudge, and he deliberately mentioned this talk today, wanting to provoke Li Tiangang to find trouble with An Le Gong.

"Well...... the dog is still lying in bed."

Li Tiangang sighed, "The younger brother has always been very strict with his family education, and the dog is also a weapon, he has not been contaminated with some smug habits, and he has never argued with others. I didn't expect to encounter such a disaster when I entered the capital. The son of An Le Gong is also too ...... It's too overbearing. ”

"Then Brother Li is going to stop there?"

"Duke An Le is a royal nobleman, brother, I am a foreign official, what can I do with him?" Li Tiangang shook his head helplessly.

"What royal nobles, that's what he exalts himself. In fact, he has no relatives with the emperor, but he relied on his knowledge of the emperor for a few years, so he became a prestige. In fact, after so many years, the emperor's nostalgia has long been weakened. ”

An Legong's background, Cheng Yaowen knows a little as a Beijing official. But those deeper things are not something he can understand.

Cheng Yaowen showed a look of indignation on his face and continued, "In my opinion, Brother Li can't stop this matter. Think about it, if you don't find an explanation, in the future, when things spread to Jiangnan, where will your face remain, and how will you serve the public? ”

Li Tiangang pondered for a while, and felt that Cheng Yaowen's words were very reasonable, and carrying this heel in Beijing did have an impact on his majesty. In addition, now that the emperor personally nodded, the actual teaching is a certainty, and there are no more worries.

"In the opinion of Lord Cheng, what should I do?"

"You and I are both officials, and it is insulting and decent to take revenge in private. Sue him, go to Kyoto Mansion to sue him, it's best to make trouble in the city, the son of a second-grade official was beaten for no reason, see what he Zhu Zhong has to say in front of the emperor? Cheng Yaowen smiled coldly.

…………

It is rare to be calm in the city of Kyoto these days, and Huang Xuan of Kyoto Prefecture took advantage of his leisure to study a new singing voice in the backyard with his third aunt, who was born in an opera troupe.

was on the rise, and the head of his squad came to report, saying that Master Cheng of the Ministry of Officials and Master Li of Jiangnan were visiting.

After asking if it was Cheng Yaowen and Li Tiangang, Huang Xuan was startled at first, and then jumped up like a burning buttocks, and hurriedly shouted to change clothes to meet guests.

Cheng Yaowen is a celestial official of the Ministry of Officials, and he holds the power of promotion and promotion of officials, so Li Tiangang is the governor of Jiangnan, a celebrity in front of the emperor, and he may be in charge of the cabinet in the future, these two people came to visit together, how can Huang Xuan not be surprised?

Hurriedly greeted the front yard, Li Tiangang and the two had already entered the courtyard under the guidance of the housekeeper.

Huang Xuan asked for peace again and again, and welcomed the two adults to the study and sat down.

"Lord Huang, this official is no longer polite to you. I came here today with Master Li because we have a lawsuit to trouble you. As soon as he sat down, Cheng Yaowen went straight to the point.

When Huang Xuan heard this, he thought that the two of them were interceding for a case. As a Kyoto Prefecture, intercession Huang Xuan has long been commonplace, but he didn't expect that the person involved in the case had such a big face that he could invite these two gods at the same time.

"I don't know which case Master Cheng is referring to, the lower official will ask people to retrieve the case file, as long as there is room for maneuver, the two adults should not be allowed to run in vain." Huang Xuan's expression was respectful, but the words in his mouth did not say death.

The two adults couldn't help but give face, but if that person really committed a serious crime, he didn't dare to risk his life to exculpate, so he had to say it vaguely.

"Lord Huang misunderstood, we are not here to intercede. I came here today just because Lord Li was beaten in Kyoto, and I came to your mansion to report the case, hoping that Lord Huang can uphold justice. ”

"What? Lord Li's son-in-law was beaten in Beijing? Lord Cheng is not joking with the lower officials. Huang Xuan was a little unconvinced. The son of a governor, who would dare to beat him?

"Who has the kung fu to joke with you?" Cheng Yaowen's old face darkened.

"Lord Huang, Lord Cheng didn't laugh, it's true." Li Tiangang also had a gloomy face and spoke.

Li Tiangang said it himself, and this matter is naturally true.

Huang Xuan was shocked when he heard this, and cold sweat suddenly broke out on his forehead.

Who is Li Tiangang? His son was beaten in Kyoto, and if he is really investigated, he, the Kyoto Prefecture, will be implicated. After all, he is responsible for the security of this city.

"Who is so bold? Dare to use force at the feet of the Son of Heaven and defy the law? Your Excellency, rest assured, the lower official will issue a ticket and bring back the bold murderer for detailed examination. Huang Xuan's face was filled with righteous indignation, and then he shouted, "Someone is coming......

The two catchers heard the sound.

Huang Xuan hurriedly took out the warrant from the bookcase, waved his pen like a fly, raised his head for a moment, and asked Li Tiangang and the others with a sneer, "Two adults, I don't know who the murderer's surname is and where he lives?" ”

"Kyoto people, named Zhu Ping'an!" Cheng Yaowen gritted his teeth and said.

"Hao Lak, Zhu Ping'an ......"

Huang Xuan picked up the pen and was about to fill in his name on the detention ticket, but suddenly the whole person was stunned in place, the smile froze on his face, the pen in his hand forgot to fall, and the thick black ink fell on the detention ticket without knowing it, as if he was seriously frightened.

The expressions of the two fast catchers at the door are also extremely exciting.
