Chapter 196: Rage
"Wechen meets the emperor."
After Li Zhanji heard Li Xie's greeting, he didn't seem to react, still teasing the bird in his hand. After two or three breaths, Li Zhanji put down the birdcage in his hand and turned to look at the sister-in-law in front of him:
"Why haven't you found it? When I came back, I was in a hurry to see me. ”
"The man has been found, but a big guy has been dug up by accident."
If it was just an ordinary gang of child traffickers, although it was a big incident, it was not worth letting him, the emperor, deal with it personally. Of course, Li Zhanji also knows that if there is a gang, there will definitely be people behind it, and these gangs can run rampant in their own capital, so there will definitely be their own people in the officialdom.
So Li Zhanji felt that Li Xie should have said this when he came to see him this time. It's just the disposal of one or two officials, and Li Zhanji doesn't pay much attention to it.
The country is now in an eventful time, first there was a flood, then there was a mutiny, this matter has not been dealt with, and now the sun is scorching for months. In this Luotian Mansion, there are many people who are dehydrated.
Li Zhanji dealt with these things day by day, and finally took a break today. Li Xie came directly to the door, Li Zhanji can be in a good mood to ask, then there is a ghost.
Although his son is his own son, he is not happy as Lao Tzu. Even if it's a son, it should also be used to beat him. As the old saying goes,
Hitting a child on a rainy day is also idle.
You can hit the child on a rainy day, let alone feel bad now.
There is filial piety under the stick, it can be seen that the child still has to fight more.
Of course, although he said so, after all, he is his own child, and he is a child who has not known each other for more than ten years. Li Zhanji has fatherly love for Li Xie, but more of it is guilt and debt. So it's impossible to fight, and he himself knows that if he does it with Li Xie, I'm afraid he won't be one by one.
"Big guy? Don't tell me about that small human trafficking gang that has grandmaster-level bigwigs in it. ”
Li Zhanji looked at the son in front of him, and looked at the face that looked sixty percent like his wife. Subconsciously what I thought of was not the grade of the official position, but the big guy in the rivers and lakes in martial arts-grandmaster.
"Your Majesty, I'm afraid you're not thinking too much." Although Li Xie was acting as a courtier at this time, there was not much rustiness between the words he spoke, as if the two of them still didn't know each other's identities.
Li Zhanji didn't pay attention to Li Xie's unreasonableness. In fact, the royal family inevitably had a few more, and he himself had two sons under his knees, and even four or five princesses. But each of them only regarded Li Zhanji as an emperor, not a father.
Whether it is the usual conversation or the psychological aspect, it is full of complaints, and there is no comfort and closeness to the son in front of him. Li Zhanji also knows that he is the most ruthless emperor. When your status and status reach a certain level, even the closest people will be full of fear of you, and this fear will dilute the family affection, or even completely dissipate it.
So don't say it, Li Zhanji still enjoys Li Xie's unreasonable behavior.
Although he didn't mind Li Xie's confrontation, Li Zhanji was really curious by Li Xie's words. So the eyes widened, and the meaning in this look was self-evident.
"Your Majesty, let's see for yourself." Li Xie didn't explain much, took out the book from his arms, and recorded the account book of Lu'an's bribery.
Li Zhanji stretched out his hand to take it, and there had to be a thumb-thick account book, so he didn't look through it. Instead, he shook it in his hand and rolled it into a roll and held it in his hand.
"Don't sell it, say it quickly." As he spoke, he tapped the short stick that the book had rolled into and tapped it on his hand. Obviously, if Li Xie still refuses to speak, Li Zhanji will not hesitate to knock Li Xie's head down.
Dealing with official documents every day, this is finally a free time, and you can't let your head be empty? It's okay to turn over some account book, isn't this looking for abuse?
"This ledger records all the records of the boss of the human trafficking gang who bribed our officials. Your officials go up to the ministers of the third grade and down to the miscellaneous servants. There are more than a dozen of them in total, and most importantly, according to the above records, the lonely family is the person behind this trafficking gang. ”
Li Zhanji paid attention to the matter at this time, if it was just involving some officials, this was still in his expectation, even if it was a third-grade minister who was bribed by them, it was reasonable, after all, these people were organizations that could sell people in the country's capital. There is a big backer behind him, but it is reasonable.
But if a family is involved, then the matter is a big deal. What's more, it is still a lonely family that is one of the four great families. If it is not handled well, it will be a big matter of turmoil in the whole country.
Li Zhanji turned the account book and carefully examined it page by page. Li Xie didn't say anything, stood aside respectfully, and waited quietly. Li Zhanji doesn't have Li Xie's brain, so he can't memorize ten lines quickly at a glance, but it's just a hurried confirmation, and if you look through it, the speed is still quite fast. In about a quarter of an hour, Li Zhanji read the account book in his hand.
After flipping through the account book in his hand, Li Zhanji's brows furrowed. After being silent for a while, Li Zhanji scolded:
"What a lonely family! What a daring! Chen Lin! ”
"The minister is here."
"Check it for me, check it carefully. I want to know that so many people are being trafficked, why don't I have any news at all? Isn't the lonely family outside the scope of your Zangfeng's surveillance? ”
As he spoke, he threw the account book in his hand at Chen Lin. Such a move shows how angry Li Zhanji is in his heart at this time.
First, there was chaos in the south, and Li Zhanji didn't know anything about the people he had sprinkled. Half of the war was fought, and I finally realized it. And now, the lonely family controls a human trafficking gang.
This branch alone, in just three recorded years, has trafficked thousands of people. And the lonely family that has long been within the scope of monitoring, and the monitoring personnel in it have not even heard any news at this time.
Li Zhanji must know whether the people from the lonely family are really so secretive, or whether the monitoring personnel he sent out are no longer his own people.
Yes, seeing such a shocking display board, Li Zhanji was not angry at the corruption of officials in the first place. It's not how many people the lonely family has trafficked, and how many hurtful things they have done over the years.
Why didn't the people who sent out on their own find out the slightest bit about this? It's also sad to say, Li Zhanji has already recognized what kind of group of people under his command are. I have already recognized what kind of family those families are. But after years in power, there is nothing they can do with them.
Li Zhanji needs the strength of these families, and he needs the strength of these families to balance the domestic situation. He needed the talents cultivated by these families to serve as officials and help him deal with the affairs of the country.
Although he has vigorously suppressed the family over the years, he has spared no effort to cultivate the poor. But up to now, above the court, there are still more than half of the officials, and they are still members of the family.
Li Zhanji is a person who has been on the throne for more than ten years, and he has been in the supreme position for a long time, and the majesty he has cultivated is really not a joke. At this time, he was angry, and even Li Xie, who was standing next to Li Zhanji, felt his heart tremble slightly at this time, and he didn't dare to touch his tiger whiskers.
And Chen Lin, who was facing Li Zhanji's anger head-on, was even more unbearable at this time to face the account book that could be easily accessed, but he didn't dare to block it at this time, and directly let it be lined up in his face.
"Don't get out of here and check it out for me." Seeing that Chen Lin was like a piece of wood, unable to even catch an account book, Li Zhanji scolded angrily again.
When Chen Lin heard this, he finished his lower waist, picked up the account book, and respectfully retreated.
