Chapter 1465: Things Are Out!
Several "hundred horsemen" with strong physiques and robes walked into the warehouse and showed Liu Yi a warrant.
Liu Xun was slightly regretful, he was just scaring Wei Yifang just now, hoping that he could completely destroy the psychological defense line under fear, but unexpectedly, the "Hundred Horses" actually caught up with him so quickly.
However, it was not completely out of his expectations, Jingyang is now the focus of the entire Guanzhong, and it is impossible for the "Hundred Cavalry Division", who is the most loyal minions of His Majesty's side, to monitor the wind and grass here. Obviously, what this Jingzhao Wei's son did had already made His Majesty angry, and the brazen assignment of the "Hundred Cavalry Division" to participate in the investigation of the case meant that Wei Yifang's fate was basically doomed.
The lightest punishment would have to be exile, and if there was no accident, the death penalty was doomed, and even whether the entire Jingzhao Webster would be implicated depended on His Majesty's mood......
Wei Yifang has completely collapsed and fallen into the hands of the "Hundred Cavalry Division", which is equivalent to this case on the desk of His Majesty Li Er, with the domineering temperament of that supreme, can he still have his good son?
Relatively speaking, the Goshidai is simply a bunch of living bodhisattvas......
He violently grabbed Liu Xun's thigh, and was already weeping in shock and fear, crying and begging: "Liu Yushi, I confess, I confess everything...... These grains were resold by his cousin, Wei Yijie, a servant of the Criminal Department, and the buyer was Youzhou Yuan, and the Chinese were the children of a Youzhou Yuan family in the Criminal Department......"
Liu Xun sighed and said, "What's the use of telling this official now? The 'Hundred Horsemen' have already come to take over, even if you want to say something, you should just go and tell them. ”
If he may have had the excitement of making meritorious service before, but now that the "Hundred Horsemen" have sent someone, where does this credit still have its own share?
He didn't bother to care.
But Wei Yifang will not let go even if he dies, and now Liu Xun is his life-saving straw, and there may still be a chance to survive if his case is tried by Yushitai, but if it is tried by the "Hundred Cavalry Division", it will be ...... Your Majesty is furious, where will he keep his little life?
"Liu Yushi, you have to save me...... As long as you don't hand me over, I still have a big confession! But if it falls into the hands of the Hundred Riders, I'd rather die than say a word again! ”
Wei Yifang was frightened, hugged Liu Xun's thighs, and rubbed snot and tears on Liu Xun's official robe, hoping to make Liu Xun refuse the "Hundred Cavalry Division" for merit.
Liu Xun raised his eyebrows, glanced at the "hundred horsemen" with solemn faces, and said lightly: "I am also a child of the family, since I dare to do it, why don't I dare to do it?" If you generously confess your sin, the official would respect you as a man, but now he wants to induce the official to resist the Hundred Horsemen for you, which is really sinister. ”
Having said that, but his heart inevitably moved, he already felt that there was something strange about the Yicang grain, and now that Wei Yifang said this, could it be that there was a hidden secret?
Where does Wei Yifang still care about Liu Xun's desire to capture and indulge, and sneer?
He only wants to judge himself now is the Yushitai, although the guys of the Yushitai are hateful, but they will not easily put people to death, but the "Hundred Horsemen" is a group of cold-blooded executioners of His Majesty the Emperor, who fell into their hands and died by himself......
"Liu Yushi ......" Wei Yifang grabbed Liu Xun's official robe, suppressed the fear in his heart, straightened up and stared at Liu Xun's face, and said in a low voice: "This reselling of grain is not just Jingyang's Yicang!" Guanzhong, Hedong, Shandong...... Dozens of counties participated, and as far as we know, the total amount of grain resold is no less than 400,000 stones! ”
Liu Xun's heart beat violently, and he lost his voice: "How much?" ”
Wei Yifang said categorically: "Never less than 400,000 stones!" ”
Liu Xun didn't believe it: "Youzhou used so much grain? ”
In the last years of the Sui Dynasty, the warlords divided the four directions, the fields were barren, the people were struggling to make a living, and peasant uprisings continued to break out in various places. Luo Yi took the opportunity to stand on his own feet and proclaimed himself the "Governor of Youzhou" to dominate one side. After Dou Jiande conquered Jizhou, the army was strong, and then led 100,000 soldiers and horses to attack Youzhou, Luo Yi was also a heroic man for a while, and Dou Jiande fought for several years, causing Dou Jiande to return in vain, but also the original Fumin Feng Youzhou was scattered, a mess.
After Luo Yi descended to the Tang Dynasty, he was quite close to the crown prince, but he was at odds with Li Shimin, the king of Qin. When His Majesty Li Er ascended the throne, Luo Yi was deeply afraid that His Majesty Li Er would plot old accounts, so he raised troops against Tang. His Majesty Li Er was furious and ordered the eldest grandson Wuji and Wei Chi Jingde to lead troops to attack Luo Yi. Luo Yi was defeated, and tens of thousands of troops were wiped out, abandoning his wife and children and leading hundreds of cavalry to flee to the Turks. When they arrived at the border of Ningzhou and passed by the Wushi Post Station, the people who followed them gradually fled, and they beheaded Luo Yi left and right, and sent his head to Jingshi.
Youzhou has been hit hard again, becoming more and more desolate and poor, and sparsely populated.
Even if the political situation has been stable and reproduction has been encouraged in recent years, how can 400,000 stone of grain be used in the land of Youzhou?
Wei Yifang saw that Liu Xun didn't believe it, and said hurriedly: "This matter is true, the buyer is Youzhou Yuan, but it is Wang Jingqi who came forward to Zhang Luo, Liu Yushi doesn't believe it, but he can immediately order someone to take Wang Jingqi into custody, and you will know if you ask!" ”
"Wang Jingqi?"
Liu Xun was taken aback.
Wang Jingqi is the younger brother of Wang Jingzhi, and his grandfather Wang Yu is the uncle of Wang Qi in the service, the general of the Northern Qi Hussars, Shang Shuling, the great Sima, and the youngest son of Wang Shengbi, who insisted on his health but was captured and killed by Chen Baxian in breaking the city.
The son of the Taiyuan Wang family!
Liu Xun was a little incredulous, but looking at Wei Yifang's panicked and desperate expression, it really didn't seem to be fake......
He looked up at the "hundred horsemen".
One of them said: "The military order I received was to strictly investigate the case, but the commander also explained that we are reckless men in the army, and we are not proficient in the interrogation and investigation of the case, so we should still take Liu Yushi as the main one, and we can help from the side so that no one can get in the way." ”
Liu Xun's eyes lit up......
This Li Junxian has a good idea, he doesn't have to come out to offend people to take the credit, and let him do everything that offends people.
If you change someone else, how can you be willing to suffer like this?
But Liu Xun didn't care, he only cared about whether he could increase his influence through this matter, originally a Jingzhao Wei clan had already made him eager to try, and now there was a Taiyuan Wang clan...... He was already impatient!
As for retaliation...... He's not afraid!
In the court, he is a lonely minister, not a group or a party, which is the foundation of his life.
As long as he can maintain his neutrality and always treat things and people, then His Majesty Li Er will regard him as the backbone of Yushitai and will become his most powerful backer, and no one will want to touch him!
*****
Changan.
The "Hundred Cavalry Division" station of the Zuotun camp outside the Xuanwu Gate.
Li Junxian came out of the Taiji Palace, returned to the duty room to change into a set of dry clothes, drank a cup of hot tea, a warm breath filled his limbs, and he let out a long sigh of relief.
But in an instant, troubles lingered in my heart.
His Majesty ordered him to investigate Jingyang Ling Wei Yifang, but this Wei Yifang was Wei Guifei's cousin, and Wei Guifei went to His Majesty's bedroom just now, which meant that he must be going to speak for Wei Yifang. And is this just a simple intercession, or is Wei Guifei also involved?
The power of the "Hundred Cavalry Division" rarely infiltrated Chang'an, but Li Junxian also heard a lot about the filth of Yicang in various places. The children of the family regard it as their own warehouse, and it has become a habit to resell it for profit, and if you dig deeper, I don't know how many people will be implicated.
Once it is more serious, it will inevitably affect a wide range of people...... At that time, he, the emperor's number one "eagle dog", will inevitably be scolded and attract countless hatreds.
It's really hard to do...... Li Junxian has already risen to the idea of stepping down many times, but holding this position has the secrets of countless families and royal relatives in his hands, even if he leaves office, can he really get a good death?
Li Junxian was full of melancholy......
The door of the duty room was pushed open, and the sound of rain outside came, and his closest subordinate, Shi Li Chongzhen, the head of the "Hundred Cavalry Division", walked in.
Li Chongzhen, who was tall and handsome, had a cold face on his face, and said in a deep voice: "The news from my subordinates has found out Yuan Kun's whereabouts, and he is now in the mansion of Wang Jingqi, the general secretary. ”
"Wang Jingqi?"
Li Junxian was shocked, how could there be a car on the Taiyuan Wang family?
A Jingzhao Wei clan, a Yuan clan who has no influence in Guanzhong but has a good local reputation in Youzhou, and now another Taiyuan Wang clan...... Li Junxian had a little headache.
Li Chongzhen was still expressionless, and continued: "According to the informant, this Yuan Kun bought almost 400,000 stone of grain through Wang Jingqi, most of which is stored in Yicang everywhere, not only in Guanzhong, but also in Hedong and Shandong...... It's all involved. ”
"Four hundred thousand stones?!"
Even with Li Junxian's calmness, he couldn't help but be surprised this time.
It's not just a headache now......
Immediately got up suddenly, and ordered: "This matter is not trivial, this Yuan Kun must not be allowed to escape, immediately bring someone to arrest him with him, and interrogate him carefully later!" ”
"Whoa!"
A group of "100 horsemen" rushed out of the barracks, bypassed half of the city wall of Chang'an City, called the Fanglin Gate in the north of the city, galloped along the street on the west side of the imperial city, and went straight to the mansion of Wang Jingqi, the general secretary of Buzheng Fang.
The iron hooves clanged, trampling a ground of rain, drowning in the roaring rain curtain......
