Chapter 133: Chicken Feathers in One Place (II)
There was chaos in Dali Temple, the smoke in the back hall was still billowing, and the yamen hall in the front yard was crowded, except for Duan Baoxuan, the secretary of Dali Temple, who was nowhere to be seen, the rest of the high-ranking officials were generally piled up in the hall, arguing with each other, the sound was extremely noisy, and no one noticed that the Li Xian brothers had entered the hall at some point.
"Hmph, what are you doing here? Why not go put out the fire! ”
Li Xian waited quietly for a while, and when he saw that the officials of Dali Temple had been arguing endlessly, he became angry, snorted coldly, and almost shouted angrily.
"Xiaguan and others have seen His Royal Highness King Lu and His Royal Highness King Zhou."
The officials who were arguing happily were all stunned by Li Xian's roar, and they looked at Li Xian's brothers for a long time, and then they came back to their senses, and under the leadership of Yuan Gongyu and Hou Shanye, the two young masters of Dali Temple, they saluted and greeted each other in a chaotic manner.
"Yuan Shaoqing, you are arguing here, why is there a fire in the back hall, why don't you go to put out the fire, huh?"
Li Xian's mood was already very bad, and the officials of Dali Temple were not pleasing to the eye, so the words were naturally extremely unkind, but this question was really suspected of overstepping - Li Xian was given the holy decree to thoroughly investigate Dali Temple, the problem is that the holy decree has not yet reached Li Xian's hands, in a strict sense, Li Xian does not have the right to ask about all matters in Dali Temple at this time, even if he is a prince, it is the same, but, at this moment, a group of Dali Temple officials obviously do not have the courage to call Li Xian true, all of them are standing stupidly, The atmosphere didn't dare to say anything.
"If you go back to Your Highness, Xia Guan has just arrived, I really don't know where the fire started, as for the fire, when Xia Guan arrived, the fire had been extinguished, and it was really irretrievable." Yuan Gongyu is the favorite minister of the Empress Wu, and he thinks that he has the support of the Empress Wu, and he doesn't see Li Xian's prestige very much.
"Huh? It's a good one that can't be saved, so Gu asked, what's going on with this smoke in the back hall? Say! ”
Li Xian has always been straightforward, how can he tolerate Yuan Gongyu, an old bureaucrat from the fourth grade, so presumptuous, angry, his face instantly turned as black as the bottom of a pot, gritted his teeth, and asked in a cold voice.
"Your Highness, the fire is really extinguished, but the smoke has not dissipated for a while, and the lower officials and others have already sent people to explore the site, and the cause of the fire will soon be concluded." Although Yuan Gongyu was not very afraid of Li Xian, when he was angry, he didn't want to touch the mold, so he simply closed his mouth and played silent, so angry that Li Xian was about to attack on the spot, but fortunately, Hou Shanye stood up from the side in time and broke the siege.
Send someone? I'm going to go, it's our people who dare to send it, hey, it's good, this hand massage is really at home! Although Li Xian was always silent, he actually saw the changes in the expressions of everyone in the field, and when he entered the door first, he didn't see Song Xian and Di Renjie, Li Xian already had some doubts, and when he heard Hou Shanye say this, how could he not know what the idea of this bastard was, and he couldn't help sneering in his heart, but he didn't bother to expose it, just flashed, stood a step forward, and made a "please" gesture to Li Xian, who was about to go crazy: "Sixth brother, it's useless to fight more, I'll wait to see the scene and then discuss it." ”
"Humph!"
Li Xian glanced at Yuan and Hou angrily, snorted coldly, didn't speak, flicked his big sleeves, and walked to the back hall.
"Princesses, let's go and see it together."
Li Xian's acting skills are not comparable to Li Xian, although his heart is also very hot, but the smile on his face is still very sincere, and he bowed to the officials of Dali Temple, and said gently.
"Your Highness, please!"
The reason why a group of Dali Temple officials gathered in the front yard was nothing more than to evade responsibility, since no one wanted to take a step into the backyard, but in the face of Li Xian's bright smile with a blade, but no one dared to say a "no" word, all of them turned their eyes to Yuan and Hou, after a period of silence, Hou Shanye, who had taught Li Xian a great skill, was the first to lose his breath, squeezed out an ugly smile, bowed to Li Xian, and made a "please" gesture.
"Ladies and gentlemen, please."
Li Xian smiled slightly, didn't say anything more, and walked to the back hall first, and after the officials of Dali Temple looked at each other, they could only follow helplessly.
The backyard of Dali Temple is in chaos, a wing room on the left is all in ruins, the ground is full of black ash, scrap paper, and then poured by water, it has become a wolf, dozens of Dali Temple officials and soldiers of Jingzhao Mansion are under the command of Di Renjie and Song Xian, busy rushing to transport the things in the burned wing, the whole scene is chaotic, and Li Xian's brows are furrowed.
"Xiaguan Di Renjie (Song Xian) has seen His Royal Highness King Lu and His Royal Highness King Zhou."
As soon as they saw Li Xian and the brothers leading a large group of officials into the backyard, Di and Song hurriedly walked over and gave each Li Xian and the brothers a salute.
"Excuse me, what's the matter with this fire, why is it burning like this?"
Li Xian knew that Di and Song were Li Xian's subordinates, so even though he was in an extremely unhappy mood at this time, he still calmed down as much as he could, and asked in a deep voice.
"Back to His Royal Highness, the lower official is on duty today, he was in the front yard lobby to judge the case, suddenly heard the fire in the backyard, came in and looked, the fire was too big to be rescued, fortunately everyone worked together and Jingzhao Mansion came to the aid in time, the fire was controlled, but most of the files over the years were destroyed, and less than three percent were rescued." Although Di Renjie's official position is slightly higher, but he went to the court before, and he has just returned not long ago, and he is not clear about the whole process, so Li Xian's question can naturally only be answered by Song Xian.
"Well, in that case, you weren't there when the fire started, did you hear me right?" Li Xian nodded and asked pointedly.
"Your Highness Mingjian, it's true, the lower officials really don't dare to lie about it."
Song Xianneng was favored by Li Xian, naturally he was not a fool, how could he not hear that Li Xian's words were intended to dissociate himself from him, so he immediately climbed up the pole.
"Hmm." Li Xian didn't ask any more questions, turned around, coldly glanced at the officials of Dali Temple with different expressions, and said calmly: "When the fire starts, who are the people in the backyard, stand up yourself." ”
Dead silence, there is only one faction of dead silence who answered Li Xian, the big guys are not stupid, since no one is willing to stand up and let Li Xian be the target, besides, who should try this case depends on how the holy will decides, and it may not fall into the hands of Li Xian, although everyone does not want to fall out with Li Xian, but it is impossible to accommodate Li Xian in such a major matter, there is no doubt that silence has naturally become the unanimous choice of all officials.
Tsk, this guy's sense of justice has exploded again, I'll have a headache! Seeing that Li Xian was acting as a righteous man there, Li Xian had a big head for a while, originally, this arson case was very tight, and the responsibility was very heavy, without the Holy Will, no matter if you were the prince, it would be impossible to make these old foxes bow their heads, you must know that these guys are masters of judging cases on weekdays, and they are all masters who don't cry when they don't see the coffin, how can Li Xian's painless anger be shaken.
"Sixth brother, since this matter has been reported to my father, it is better to wait for my father's will to make a decision." Seeing that Li Xian was showing signs of madness because he couldn't get off the stage, Li Xian had to stand up and round the field.
"Humph!" Although Li Xian was furious, he didn't want to brush off Li Xian's kindness, so he snorted coldly, and no longer asked the officials of Dali Temple who were pretending to be stupid, glanced at Li Xian, and after his face twitched a few times, he said in a deep voice: "Seventh brother, this matter is very important, and others can't believe it for my brother, so it's better for the seventh brother to go in person and ask my father for a will." ”
"It's okay, the little brother will come when he goes, this place is smoky, the sixth brother and all the adults should go to the front yard to rest first."
Obviously, in terms of the careful thinking of the Empress Wu, it is absolutely hopeless to crack this case, at least the hope is slim, Li Xianshi is unwilling to intervene in this hand - yes, Li Xian has received the holy decree of a thorough investigation of Dali Temple, but now that this mess is out, it is completely impossible to thoroughly investigate, and the original idea of killing the rear party of Dali Temple is hopeless. At most, he can only rely on the limited evidence provided by Li Xian to get a few unlucky scapegoats, in Li Xian's view, Li Xian's taking over the fire case is purely self-inflicted, the problem is that Li Xian is obviously angry, Li Xian's words of dissuasion are really not easy to export, and secondly, on such occasions, Li Xian can't show that he has a disagreement with Li Xian, and in desperation, he also sighed a little and agreed to Li Xian's request.
"There's no need to bother, it's just some cigarettes, I don't mind for my brother, but it's okay for the seventh brother to go."
Li Xian's proposal was originally a good intention, but Li Xian didn't appreciate it, waved his hand nonchalantly, and replied arrogantly.
Hey, this guy is really stubborn enough, it's just that it's not Lao Tzu who suffers from it, so much to do. Seeing that Li Xian was about to show arrogance, Li Xianzi didn't bother to be long-winded, nodded with a smile, and didn't care how ugly the faces of the officials of the Dali Temple were, and walked through the crowd and strode towards the front yard.
"Your Highness."
Gao Miao was secretly assigned by Li Xian to contact Lin Hu before, and at this time, he had just returned to Dali Temple, and was staying outside the cordon of Jingzhao Mansion with a group of palace guards.
"Go to Chengtianmen!" Li Xian bowed his head knowingly, and then gave a silent order, walked to the carriage with his head down, and turned into the carriage with a huff......
