Chapter 321: Ma Zhi's Mending Knife
"Let the old man help you deceive the world like this...... Is it really good? ”
Zhu Wuhesu frowned and said softly.
Li Zhen smiled and said, "Don't forget, the Great Khan of your country still owes me a favor!" ”
Zhu Wuhesu was stunned when he heard this, and then said hurriedly: "This time it is considered to be repaid, how can I still owe it!" ”
Li Zhen looked at Zhu Wu Hesu, and said quietly: "This time it is the friendship between you and me, and it has nothing to do with the Great Khan!" ”
"You...... That's not what you said that day! "Note: I don't want to be angry, but I start from my heart.
"Based on what I said today!"
Li Zhen laughed, laughing scoundrelly.
"You ......" Zhu Wu Hesu was speechless, and immediately said: "Then the old man will go to ......"
"Go and ask Your Majesty for guilt? So you said that you are a dignified minister and conspired with me to deceive Your Majesty? Li Zhen laughed.
Zhu Wu Hesu was stunned for a moment, and then suddenly got up and said angrily: "You dare to play with the old man?!" ”
Li Zhen raised his lamp slightly and smiled: "It's serious!" ”
After that, Li Zhen pointed to the opposite side and said, "I am afraid that such a drama is rare in your country, and it is also a pleasure to participate in it in person!" ”
After hearing this, Zhu Wuhesu finally sat back in his place: , squinted his eyes and looked at the other side, and said slowly: "The play is a good show, but it's just ......."
"The bento is a kid who owes a favor to the big minister!" Li Zhen interrupted.
Zhu Wuhesu glanced at Li Zhen and snorted coldly: "Hmph! Your favor is worth a lot! ”
After saying that, Zhu Wuhesu asked again: "Next, what are you going to do?" ”
Li Zhen shook his head and smiled: "The next protagonist is Ma Yuanzhen!" ”
......
Ma Zhi's main position is the squire of the Criminal Department, and the reason why he is also the secretary of Dali Temple is because the former Dali Temple Secretary Liu Meng was demoted to other places, and the position of the two young secretaries of Dali Temple has been vacant for many years, and there are three squires in the Criminal Department, Li Chen can't find a suitable candidate for a while, so he can only let Ma Zhi concurrently serve.
Of course, this is only the superficial reason, and there is only one more real reason.
Ma Yuanzhen's recommendation.
Just because the two have the same surname, they have become brothers of the opposite sex and have a close relationship.
One is the eunuch who holds the forbidden army and has the merit of supporting it;
One is the Dang Dynasty Zaifu, who is also the squire of the Criminal Department and the Dali Siqing, and is in charge of the two major institutions of the Tang Dynasty Criminal Prison and Litigation.
The two are perfectly matched, although they don't say that they call for wind and rain in the court, but it is enough to make people jealous.
Just like Wang Zongshi's case, Ma Zhi's advantages of holding two positions are highlighted. The Criminal Department arrested people, Dali Temple tried the case, and Ma Zhi could do it in one go, avoiding the pain of coordination between and out.
Wang Zongshi never dreamed that he would be imprisoned in just one day, and what was even worse was that Ma Zhi would not mention it, let alone be visited by outsiders, even if he wanted to argue, he would have nowhere to appeal.
With the help of He Liu, it was not difficult to find this treasure knife from Wang Zongshi's mansion, and when the treasure knife was presented in front of Li Chen, Li Chen looked very calm.
The knife was held in his hand, Li Chen only glanced at it, and said, "Have you ever confirmed it with Zhu Wu Hesu?" ”
"It's confirmed, it's this knife!" Ma Zhi bowed and replied.
Li Chen nodded, and asked again, "What did Wang Zongshi say?" ”
Ma Zhi shook his head when he heard this, and said, "Everyone has stolen goods, even if they say anything, it won't help, but in addition, the minister has something else!" ”
"Oh?" Li Chen raised his eyebrows slightly, and then placed the knife on the table.
Ma Zhi said slowly: "When the minister was searching for the treasure knife in Wang Zongshi's mansion, he found that he had a secret weapon!" ”
"How much?"
"Eight pairs of Mingguang armor, twenty pairs of leather armor, thirty horizontal knives, five Mo knives, three crossbows, five lances, and forty pairs of equipment!"
As he spoke, Ma Zhi looked up at Li Chen, and then said, "And ......"
"Go on!" Li Chen's voice was a little cold.
"And none of these weapons and armor are from the ordnance superintendent!" Ma Zhi lowered his head and said, the corners of his mouth rose slightly, and a faint smile appeared on his face.
Obviously, the weight of Ma Zhi's last sentence is extremely heavy, according to Tang law, the possession of five crossbows or three pairs of Jia can be punished by hanging, Wang Zongshi's possession of weapons has obviously far exceeded this amount, and his crime is enough to cause death.
But after all, behind Wang Zongshi is Qiu Shiliang, and although Qiu Shiliang claims to be seriously ill, he is still alive after all, and as long as he is alive, his connections in the court are still there.
No one can say what big people will come to intercede with His Majesty.
Because of this, Ma Zhi added another sentence, since the weapons are not from the weapons supervisor, it means that these weapons are all made by Wang Zongshi privately.
According to the law of the Tang Dynasty: those who make weapons privately will be guilty of one more degree.
Undoubtedly, this is equivalent to making up for Wang Zongshi, who is already hanging on the beam.
A sturdy knife.
After hearing this, Li Chen gently rubbed his temples, then waved his hand and said softly: "Deal with it according to the law!" ”
Ma Zhi retired with a smile, even walking with a smile.
Because he knows that Wang Zongshi, who is Qiu Shiliang's right-hand man, has no chance to overturn the case.
After Ma Zhi left, Li Chen slowly raised his head, and his eyes revealed a look of firmness, "Qingluan didn't lose my hard work after all!" ”
Wang Guichang smiled and did not speak.
Li Chen picked up the short knife on the case again, and asked intentionally or unintentionally: "Wang Guichang, what position do you have?" ”
"Loved by everyone, the old slave is now the privy envoy!" Wang Guichang bowed and replied.
Li Chen nodded and said, "Well, the inner privy envoy...... I'm used to you standing here, and if someone else else, I'm not used to it! ”
Li Chen's seemingly inconsistent words made Wang Guichang's heart suddenly shocked, and he immediately replied without thinking: "The old slave is old, and he can only serve everyone more easily, and nothing else can be done!" ”
Wang Guichang understood that Li Chen didn't want to covet the Shence Army, and it sounded like an unintentional sentence, but it implied a mystery.
And for Wang Guichang, this is Li Chen's warning, a line drawn by the Son of Heaven for himself, a line that he can never cross.
After Li Chen heard this, he looked up at Wang Guichang, and then said slowly: "Qiu Shiliang's illness is almost cured, right?!"
......
Li House.
"Are you saying Qiu Shiliang's illness is about to recover?"
Yan Heng asked with a slight surprise as he took off his clumsy dress.
After the crown ceremony, Yan Heng was obviously not used to this set of clothes on his body.
Li Zhen smiled when he heard this, but did not answer, but asked, "What should I call you Changzhi in the future?" Or Yan Dalang? ”
"Call it however, but you'll have to help me!" Yan Heng grinned.
"What can I help you?" Li Zhen asked.
"I'm a new bad handsome, presumably those Tian Shenu will not obey me, how can I make them obedient?" Yan Heng leaned over to Li Zhen and asked.
"In Gangneung Mansion, you can make those scoundrels obey, why do you ask me this kind of thing?" Li Zhen glanced at Yan Heng and said.
"That's different, whoever dares to disobey in Gangneung Mansion will be beaten by me, this is a bad person, how can the previous methods be used on them? If it had been known to you, Aya, would it not have been to punish me? ”
"The method of controlling the subordinates is no different, it is nothing more than two words!"
"What two words?" Yan Heng asked.
"Envy and power!"
After hearing this, Yan Heng thought about it, and then said very seriously: "These are four words!" ”
