Li You said: "Ladies and gentlemen, when you encounter such a gangster force, as a courtier of the Tang Dynasty, you have the obligation to eradicate it.

I believe that even if you encounter such a thing, you will never sit idly by.

Xue Rengui had a flexible mind, and immediately judged that this gang of gangsters had something to do with the inn, and after careful investigation, he captured the gang members of the gang, and captured the gang leader.

The gang leader's name is Gao Ba, and his uncle is Yan Huaiqing, the assassin of Longzhou. ”

"I see, no wonder." The crowd talked.

"It's this Xue Rengui again, this person is really both civil and military, and he can even solve the case, it's amazing." Someone said.

Li You continued: "Father, the sons and sons did not think that there was collusion between them just because Gao Ba was a relative of Yan Huaiqing. It's because Erchen found out that Gao Ba was hiding in the Assassin's Mansion. And Yan Huaiqing actually harbored this person.

At the time......"

He told the story of the arrest of Gao Ba at that time.

He said: "Since Yan Huaiqing is guilty of harboring, Erchen has to take him down.

As for the appointment of the Longzhou Assassin, it is like this.

After Yan Huaiqing was taken, Longzhou could not be left unattended for government affairs, and the crimes of Gao Ba and Yan Huaiqing and others also needed to be investigated.

In the name of his father, the son can only temporarily appoint Shi Gaowanli, the governor of Longzhou, as the acting assassin. After the retainers returned, they had already informed the eldest grandson of the matter.

Fortunately, Gao Wanli is familiar with local government affairs, is loyal, upright, and experienced, and smoothly took over the government affairs of Longzhou, and did not paralyze the government affairs of Longzhou because of the departure of Yan Huaiqing, the assassin of Longzhou. ”

The eldest grandson Wuji said: "Your Majesty, this is indeed the case. The minister thought that His Royal Highness the King of Qi had taken the opportunity to deal with it and maintain the stability of Longzhou, and the measures were appropriate.

Moreover, His Royal Highness the King of Qi only designated Gao Wanli as the temporary acting assassin, and there was no suspicion of overstepping his authority and privately appointing the imperial court officials. ”

"Your Majesty, the old minister thinks that His Royal Highness the King of Qi has handled it properly and is not at fault." Xiao Qian came out and said.

"yes."

"yes."

In addition to Li You's supporters, the prince's supporters also came out to express their approval.

Li Shimin still did not express an opinion.

At this time, Yan Lide came out, and he said with red eyes: "Your Majesty, these are all the words of Li You, the king of Qi, he said that Gao Ba is a gangster, what is the evidence?" ”

"Ugh." Li You sighed, shook his head, and looked at the dizzy old guy with pity in his eyes.

"Your Majesty, let the ministers come along." This is, Wei Zheng, who doesn't know when he entered the main hall, came out.

Li Shimin nodded and motioned for him to speak.

Wei Zheng said: "After His Royal Highness the King of Qi returned to Chang'an, he informed his ministers of the matter. The minister thought that it was about the history of the assassination of a state, and he couldn't just listen to the words of His Royal Highness King Qi, so the minister went to Longzhou in person.

After the minister's investigation, Gao Ba is indeed a local bully, he not only bullies men and women on weekdays, but also secretly snare a group of gangsters, colluded with some inns, and specializes in assassinating passers-by from other places.

So far, 96 people have been killed, including 32 women, 12 humiliated to death, and 20 sold into the fence. The looted property is worth 510,000 yuan. ”

"What? How could there be such a thing? ”

"Kill him!"

"Destroy his nine clans!"

The ministers were furious and roared in unison.

"Lord Wei." This is, someone stood up. When everyone saw it, it was the golden appearance of Zhongyao, the servant of the Ministry of Rites.

He trembled and said, "Lord Wei, among the people killed, is there a woman named Wang Huiyan?" ”

Wei Zheng took out the roster and looked at it, and said, "Yes, Wang Huiyan, female, 19 years old, from Chang'an." ”

Yao Jinxiang asked, "How is she?" ”

"When he died, he was insulted and committed suicide by throwing himself into the water." Wei Zheng said.

"Ah, my Hui'er!" Yao Jinxiang suddenly fell to the ground and fainted.

"Imperial Doctor, pass on the Imperial Doctor."

There was chaos in the hall.

"What's going on?" There was a lot of talking.

Tang Jian, the secretary of the Ministry of Rites, came out and said: "Your Majesty, this woman is the daughter-in-law of Lord Yao, and when she returned to her hometown in Yuanzhou five months ago, she disappeared, and she should have been killed when she was passing through Longzhou.

At the time, the woman was six months pregnant. ”

"What?!" Li Shimin was furious and slapped his palm on the armrest of the dragon chair.

"Rip him!"

"Yes, chop him!"

The ministers were furious and roared one by one.

Li Tai's face was pale.

Yan Li's face was like ashes.

"Your Majesty!"

Yan Lide was dizzy, but in this case, he still jumped out. It is no wonder that his grandson, along with his son, must have no way to live. He had to come out and fight to the death.

He said: "Your Majesty, wronged, these are all the words of Li You, the king of Qi. As we all know, Wei Zheng and Li Youping, the king of Qi, are very close, this must be their collusion to frame the son and grandson of the minister. ”

Li Shimin said angrily: "Shut up! ”

Then, he said, "Ma Xuanliang, come on." ”

"Yes, Your Majesty." Ma Xuanliang flashed out from behind Li Shimin.

He said: "Your Majesty, the minister was ordered to go to Longzhou to investigate, and what Lord Wei said is true. "It turned out that he was the mysterious other group.

On that day, Li You informed Wei Zheng of the matter, and Wei Zheng immediately went to report to Li Shimin.

Li Shimin thought that the matter was very important, and immediately sent Wei Zheng to investigate.

The next day, Li You wanted to report the matter to Li Shimin, and Li Shimin had to wait until the results of the investigation came out. Therefore, Li Shimin didn't listen to him and sent him away.

This matter involved the son of Yan Lide, the elder brother of Li Tai's teacher, and to some extent, Li Tai, the king of Wei. Li Shimin had to be more cautious.

Therefore, he not only sent Wei Zheng to investigate, but also sent Ma Xuanliang to Longzhou to investigate in person.

Li Shimin said angrily: "Yan Lide, what else do you have to say?!" Well! ”

Yan Lide collapsed to the ground all of a sudden.

"Punish the murderer and eradicate the bully!" The ministers roared angrily.

Li Shimin waved his hand and suppressed the voices of the ministers.

He said: "The facts of this case are clear, there is no need for a retrial, and I pronounce the following verdict:

The villain Gao Ba and his gangster henchmen were immediately decided, their immediate family members were assigned to Lingnan, and their family property was confiscated.

Yan Huaiqing shielded the criminals, exempted him from all official positions, and sent the whole family to Lingnan.

Yan Lide had no way to teach his son, and he was jointly and severally liable, relieved of his position as a waiter in the Ministry of Works, and returned to his hometown.

Yan Liben......"

"Father, Lord Yan has nothing to do with this matter, and the sons are willing to vouch for Lord Yan." Li Tai came out and said.

Li Shimin still took care of Li Tai as usual, and he said: "Yan Liben is responsible for the mistake and will be fined for one year.

Chin this. ”

"Your Majesty is wise, long live Your Majesty, long live, long live!" All the officials praised together.

It's over.

Li You got up and asked, "Who else impeached me?" ”8)
