There is a saying that "it is not a big deal to watch the excitement", in fact, it is not only the excitement that is watched, but also the parties are not a big deal.

Li Su has always hated trouble, and he doesn't like to cause trouble, in terms of personality, Li Su belongs to the passive type, only when trouble takes the initiative to touch him, he will deal with it passively.

The beginning fell into passivity, and naturally fell into a disadvantage, so these days in Chang'an City, whether it is the court or the people, public opinion is very unfavorable to Li Su, and the good reputation accumulated in the early years is lost.

All the people who have deep contacts with the Li family are paying close attention to him, and are deeply worried about it, especially the Cheng family and the Niu family, the two families have a deep relationship with Li Su, the ancients did not value money, but only the reputation that cannot be seen is very concerned, the big family gate valve is often willing to compromise and retreat, but also strive to maintain the family's reputation and reputation in the outside world, the slightest damage to the reputation, the big family will never be contaminated, even if it is accidentally contaminated, it must also make the most rapid and appropriate crisis public relations, Erase a bad reputation in the shortest possible time.

Like the Li family's current reputation like a rat crossing the street and everyone shouting and beating, to be honest, it belongs to the hopeless kind, which means that the reputation has stinked all over the street, and it comes very quickly, and there is no time to deal with it, inexplicably, the Li family has become an inferior magnate in the eyes of the people of Chang'an City, and the kind that is unkind to the rich and officials.

Something happened, triggering various reactions, Cheng Biting Jin and Niu Jinda sent people to Taiping Village overnight to ask about the case, the two families are very righteous, Li Su has anything to help, such as reversing his reputation, saying hello to the Criminal Department, etc., no two words, the two families must help, but Li Su refused, the words are very beautiful, the Li family has an accident that does not involve others, there is already a family stepping into the troubled water, there can be no second or third family, during this extraordinary period, the Li family and the Cheng family and the Niu family will try to minimize contacts, don't let the two families also get a lot of noise, It's not cost-effective, the Li family believes that the Criminal Department and Dali Temple will be impartial and straightforward, and the Xu family and the Li family will be clear.

…………

The criminal department and Dali Temple moved very quickly, and Zhang Liang, the secretary of the criminal department, was still on the way to welcome the Tubo minister to Chang'an, and the criminal department and Dali Temple had already formed a special case team by two waiters and a Zhengqing to handle the Xu Jingshan murder case.

On the third day of the evidence collection stage, Dali Temple inexplicably received an anonymous letter, which bluntly stated that Han You, a waiter of the Criminal Department, was involved in the case of Xu Jingshan, saying that Han You had close contacts with the victim Huang Shoufu, and that he had received huge bribes from Huang Shoufu, and that Han You had a serious quarrel with Huang Shoufu a few days before he was killed......

This is a very important clue, even if Han You is a servant of the Criminal Department, it is impossible for the two major legal divisions to turn a blind eye, this case has reached the heavens, and it is impossible to conceal any small clues, otherwise it will be a big crime of defrauding the king.

So Sun Fujia, the secretary of Dali Temple, took advantage of Han You's early morning to attend the court meeting, and sent people to rush into Han You's mansion with lightning speed, and according to the tips in the anonymous letter, he dug out a big money box in a big locust tree in the backyard, which was filled with silver cakes, totaling more than 2,000 taels.

Having money in the cash box is naturally not a big crime, at best it is just a bribe, but the worst thing is that in addition to the silver cake in the money box, the messenger of Dali Temple also found a letter with a yellow corner, and the signature of the letter is Huang Shoufu, in the letter, Huang Shoufu in addition to thanking Han Shilang for many years of secret support, by the way, he also wrote a few words of bargaining with Han Shilang, such as Han Shilang's appetite is getting bigger and bigger, Huang Shoufu is a little unbearable, can he be a little less......

Under the stunned and confused gaze of the Huang family, the Dali Temple servant carried the money box and the letter back to Dali Temple, and the letter was handed to the desk of Sun Fujia of Dali Temple for the first time.

Long Yan was furious, lightning flashed and thundered, Li Shimin slapped the table on the spot, his face was full of murderous anger, and he shouted loudly, and investigated to the end.

An ordinary homicide escalated to a huge case because of a letter.

Han You, the waiter of the Criminal Department, went to the prison of Dali Temple for the first time, not only that, but several waiters who were good friends with Han You and even a Shangshu were also summoned by Dali Temple, and Sun Fujia, the black-faced king of Dali Temple, personally sat in charge, and interrogated a group of important ministers of the country with a cold face, as for Han You, he became the focus of Sun Fujia's interrogation.

It doesn't matter if the letter and the silver cake in the cash box are not clear, as long as you confess one thing, less than an hour after the Xu Jingshan murder occurred, how did you, a senior official who sat at work in the Criminal Department, drink tea and read the newspaper, know about it and brought the prisoner back to the prison of the Criminal Department with lightning speed, is it really that you pinched your fingers and calculated that there was a bad omen on the top of the black clouds in Chang'an Dong City that day?

Han You couldn't explain, he didn't expect to set himself on fire at all, this case can be said to be almost seamless, from the accident to the person, everything is in the layout, except for the detail that no one paid attention to at the beginning, that is, the speed at which he jumped out to take the person was too fast, and he accidentally exposed himself, so he fell into the eyes of the other party.

What is the so-called bribery and the victim's handwritten letter, Han You naturally knows best, and he is clear, but he can't defend it, once he opens his mouth to defend it, the involvement will become more and more extensive, because this case against the Li family, the mastermind behind the scenes is not him at all.

Han You, who was imprisoned in Dali Temple, was killed and did not speak, the case temporarily fell into a deadlock, and people with a discerning eye can see that this case has become bigger and bigger, and the monarchs and ministers have spread their eyes to the entire court, this is no longer a simple homicide case, but a court fight!

Everyone's eyes are staring at the court, staring at the three provinces and six departments and Dali Temple, everyone is waiting for the latest progress of this case, waiting for Dali Temple to pry open Han You's mouth, so as to dig out a deeper insider, as for the courtiers who are good friends with Han You, they are panicked all day long, for fear that one day the messengers of Dali Temple will suddenly come to the door, with a smile on their faces and politely invite them into the cell of Dali Temple to live for a few days, as for the real direct suspect in this case, Xu Jingshan, at this time was ignored by everyone collectively.

**************************************************************

is at a disadvantage, and must know how to reverse the adversity to protect himself, and I have to say that Li Su has done it.

closed the door without saying a word, and quietly, the court was turned upside down by him.

Li Su's thinking is very simple, since he has entered a dead end, he simply muddies the water and escalates the situation, anyway, the worst situation is already like this, no matter how bad it is, it can't be bad.

Therefore, because of Li Su's idea of damaging others and not benefiting himself on the verge of dying, he invisibly acted as a-stirring stick, stinky and not smelly, pick it up and stir it up, so the court was disturbed by him and everyone was in danger, not only lost a waiter, but also a number of high-ranking officials of the three provinces and six ministries were summoned, the momentum was so great and the situation was so serious that even Wei Zheng, who was used to being famous for his direct advice, did not dare to squeak at this juncture.

With such a result, I am afraid that the real mastermind behind the Li family was also unexpected, and no one expected that the conspiracy and calculation that took advantage of it has now become a lose-lose situation, and the matter has become so big that it can't be stopped if you want to.

…………

The Li family in Taiping Village.

Compared with the stormy court, the Li family is relatively calm, as the head of the family, Li Su still lives a comfortable life of eating, sleeping and sleeping every day, he doesn't care about everything that happens outside, the words "closed door" may be a great humiliation for others, but for him it is a wonderful excuse not to clock in at work, after a few quiet days in a row, he even has an urge to make some scandals and avoid quietness in the future.

It's a pity that the mood of his family doesn't seem to be as good as his.

The matter is too big to hide, Xu Mingzhu still knows that his father has encountered a flying disaster, he is anxious and worried, and he washes his face with tears all day long.

It's summer, the courtyard under the night is quiet and cool, from time to time there are a few crickets, and a few frogs and cicadas, Li Su sits in the yard and closes his eyes to recuperate, the shade of the big ginkgo tree in the middle of the yard covers the silver-white moonlight tightly, Li Su's whole person is fused with the boundless darkness.

There was a sound of light footsteps behind him, Li Su didn't open his eyes, but he knew who was coming.

"Is my mother-in-law asleep?" Li Su closed his eyes and asked softly.

Xu Mingzhu sighed and sighed: "I comforted her for a long time, and I coaxed and lied, and finally coaxed her to settle down a little, I haven't slept for a few days, my spirit is very poor, my heart is stable, and I fell asleep without saying a few words, and the concubine called two maids to stay at the door to listen to the movement, and wait for her at any time." ”

Li Su nodded: "It's good to sleep, something has happened, no matter what, you have to face it calmly, crying can't solve the problem." ”

The day after the accident, Li Su sent someone to take the mother-in-law of the six gods into the Li family, after all, the mother-in-law is a woman's family, and there is no problem in running the family on weekdays, but once something happened at home, she panicked, and when she first came to Li's house, she cried and made trouble, and said with a desperate face that her wife could not be saved, and she wanted to hang herself and follow her wife to Huangquan Yunyun, Li Su was troubled by a headache, these **** and Xu Mingzhu husband and wife took turns to fight, and it was a guarantee and a coax, and finally let the mother-in-law have a trace of expectation and calmed down a little.

Xu Mingzhu stood behind Li Su and couldn't see the expression on her face clearly, but Li Su could feel the deep anxiety and sorrow in her heart.

"What about me...... Li Su turned her head, looked at her shining eyes in the night, and smiled softly: "Madam, the most important thing in times of trouble is trust, if you believe me, you will definitely be able to save your father-in-law." ”

Xu Mingzhu sighed faintly and said, "The concubine is ...... in the afternoon I went to a Taoist temple and saw Princess Dongyang, she was also very anxious, and the concubine heard her say that Chang'an City had a falling out because of my father's case, and a life lawsuit actually involved many courtiers to go in, husband, the concubine is a woman's family, except for taking care of the family, I don't know anything about foreign affairs, and the concubine body is becoming more and more ignorant, why did my father's case involve these courtiers? My dad ...... I've never dealt with the government. ”

Li Su smiled, there were some things that she couldn't tell her the truth, because she couldn't understand her own approach, if she knew that these many courtiers were involved in the masterpiece of her husband, maybe she would be scared crazy, maybe she would directly copy the knife to chase and kill her husband, anyway, she couldn't save her father, it was better to take the initiative to come and kill all over the house, and the two families would organize a group to do a Huangquan tourism and sightseeing activity......

"It doesn't matter if Madame doesn't understand, I can only say that the case of the father-in-law is very complicated and deeply involved, and it may be deeper in the future, but you believe me, no matter which step is involved, I will definitely ensure that the father-in-law is safe and sound......" Touching her face with one hand, Li Su smiled and said: "Don't worry, I have entrusted someone to take care of the prison of the Criminal Department, and the father-in-law will not be wronged in it, maybe he will be bitten by a few fleas, there is no other difficulty, and he is a good man after he comes out, if there is no problem, he may be able to add a younger brother or ......sister to you in the coming year" (to be continued.) )
