Chapter 56: The Arsonist Mastermind
Li Yaoyu and Fifth Yao said that they wanted Xiaoxuan to write an article, which almost frightened her. Of course, Li Yaowei and Fifth Yao were just joking.
"Young Master. Sun County's order is coming. ”
……
"Sun County Order, is there any progress in the case?"
"Yes." Sun Huai took a sip of tea, "The founder of the Merry Poetry Newspaper found out that it was Zhang Wencai, Chen Yi, and Cheng Daolin, among which Zhang Wencai was the backbone, and Chen Yi and Cheng Daolin were pulled into the gang. ”
"It's ...... them," Li Yaojian said to himself.
Fifth Yao spoke: "In this way, their suspicion is not small. ”
Sun Huai shook his head with a smile, "Ma Dahua, the shopkeeper of the porcelain shop, set fire to the newspaper office, and they instructed it. But the people who killed Ma Dahua, they all said they didn't know. ”
"You found it?" Li Yaoyu was stunned and thought: Is this case solved so fast?
"Haha!" Sun Huai laughed: "It's also a coincidence, when I asked people to go to the Merry Poetry Report to check the founder, I happened to hear someone discussing this matter, and then they said that they leaked their mouths, and I found it all at once." ”
Li Yaowei couldn't smile bitterly, "They set fire to the newspaper office, the reason is commercial competition? ”
"That's right, Brother Li, you once took the lead in answering the question correctly when Du Manwan recruited her relatives, which made them unwilling; Second, they started a newspaper, but they couldn't attract famous literati poems, they were narrow-minded, so they chose to burn your newspaper. ”
"It's really evil to the guts." Li Yaowei was speechless, "Then have they all been arrested?" ”
"Interrogation is underway in prison. But to be honest, it's not easy to do, their families are all officials of the imperial court, if the tragedy of Ma Dahua's family was not done by them, I'm afraid they can only take a few boards at most and fine some silver. ”
Sun Huai sighed, people are in Chang'an, there are high-ranking officials and nobles everywhere, and there are too many constraints.
Li Yaoyu also knows this, some things can't be perfect, there are too many unspoken rules, but he doesn't care about this, what he wants to know now is who is going to kill him.
"Zhang Wencai insisted that Ma Dahua's family was not killed by him?"
"Yes." Sun Huai nodded, "Zhang Wencai and his colleagues have been living under the noses of their families and newspaper employees, according to the information we have obtained, they really did not hire killers, of course, it is not ruled out that they are a nest of snakes and rats and provide false evidence." ”
"That means that Ma Dahua's family was wiped out, is it just a coincidence?"
Li Yaowei wanted to scold his mother in his heart, and this clue, which was most likely to let him know who was going to kill him, seemed to be broken. If you want to find out who is behind the scenes in the future, you can only rely on God.
Sun Huai was clueless, "Now it looks like this." ”
……
After Sun Huai left, Fifth Yao asked Li Yaoji: "Could it be that someone knew what Zhang Wencai and them did, and then wiped out Ma Dahua's family and blamed a few of them?" ”
"It's possible." Li Yaoyu and Wu Yao had the same thoughts, "If this is the case, then it is estimated that the enemy of their family borrowed a knife to kill people and wanted to use this matter to get rid of a few of them." ”
"But that doesn't make sense, and there's still no way to explain why someone would want to assassinate you?"
Li Yaowei thought thoughtfully, "You say, could it be that the person behind the scenes deliberately wanted to assassinate me and wanted to fake it...... Create a false impression that Zhang Wencai and they want to kill me, which makes people even more convinced, it was Zhang Wencai who hired someone to kill Ma Dahua's family? ”
When Wu Yao heard Li Yaoji's speculation, he also felt that it was possible: "It makes sense, the purpose is to make outsiders and the yamen believe that Zhang Wencai is an extremely vicious person." ”
"But that's not right, if that's the reason, why would he write a provocative letter to disgust me?" Li Yaowei suddenly remembered that the letter read: Great talent, our game has begun.
"It's still coming for me." Li Yaoyu immediately overturned the original speculation, just to blame him, and would never provoke him.
Fifth Yao thought about it so much that her brain hurt, and when she saw Li Yaoyu with a sad face, she smiled lightly: "Don't worry, take your time, the truth will always surface." Or next time, I'll catch the killer for you directly, and maybe it will be solved. ”
"Although your strength is not lost to that killer, the problem is, we don't know how many people there are on the other side? What if he sends more people? Li Yaojian suddenly felt a little exhausted. Or do I go for help?
Li Yaowei didn't dare to hold it up, and he didn't want to put Wu Yao and Xiaoxuan in danger, but at present, he had anyone he could ask for help from, and the people he knew were Mojiang, Sun Huai, and Li Yuanji, but Mojiang was just a small school secretary and had no ability to help him.
Sun Huai's father is Li Jiancheng, and then again, Sun Huai and Li Yuanji are both princes.
But if you turn to Li Yuanji for help, you may not be able to solve it, and you may be targeted by Li Shimin, maybe the assassin is really sent by Li Shimin.
The battle between Li Jiancheng and Li Shimin has slowly entered the white heat, and Li Yaowei is really afraid that he will accidentally intervene in the fight between the two of them.
"Ugh." Li Yaojian sighed, standing in the center of the storm, but he didn't know how to respond.
……
Chang'an City is the national capital, and Zhang Wencai and the others actually dared to set fire to it and almost burned people to death, so Sun Huai didn't want to deal with this matter by himself. Less than half a day after Zhang Wencai and the three of them were detained, many people came to the door, coercing and enticing. Chen Yi and Cheng Daolin's fathers are both six-rank officials, and their official positions are smaller than his, but there are too many backers or friends, and there are many second-rank and third-grade officials, or people who serve in the three provinces.
On the other hand, he also wants to help Li Yaojie thoroughly investigate this matter, what if the mastermind behind the scenes is really Zhang Wencai?
Dressed neatly, Sun Huai went directly to the palace to meet the prince.
When this recital was sent to Li Yuan, Li Yuan was very angry, the court ordered officials, godsons, arson and harmed people!
"Come on, pass on Dali Temple." Li Yuan directly asked the people from Dali Temple to take over the case.
"This Li Yaowei, Chang'an's two major cases are related to him, it is simply a disaster!" Li Yuan smiled and said to Li Yuanji, but it was just a joke, not a real idea.
Li Yuanji spoke: "Father, Li Yaowei has made great contributions to the country to see through fake money, today he was framed by gangsters and almost died, I think we should go all out to investigate and give him justice, so that he will not be cold, and also explain to the people that my Datang is very responsible for the courtiers, the meritorious people, and the people." ”
"Hmm......" Li Yuan nodded and said with a smile: "You have a point. ”
"Li Yaowei is talented and serves the country and the people, but he was assassinated, which really makes people angry." Li Yuanji was indignant.
Li Yuan laughed, "This kid has no one in his eyes, so it's better for him to suffer a little." ”
"Father, I'm afraid it's not as simple as suffering a little, according to Sun Huai's report, there are assassins who assassinate him."
"The identity of the assassin is unknown, so I can only let the people of Dali Temple go to investigate." Li Yuan naturally knew that he was purely unhappy with Li Yaoji, and kindly made him an official and let him do things for the country and the court, but he was unwilling.
Li Yuanji said casually, "At least Ma Wencai and a few people can't be easily forgiven, especially Ma Wencai, relying on his uncle being a person from the second brother's mansion, he has no one in his eyes, and he is arrogant and rampant." ”
