The matter involved the murder of the three major members, and the victims and suspected murderers were extremely sensitive, so the Zhongshu did not dare to delay, and the Son of Heaven was made clear on the same day. The Son of Heaven was tormented by illness on this day, and he was unhappy. Hearing this, he said: "Handed over to the gods and the military prison for trial." Prime Minister Zheng Yu said: "The incident happened in Jingzhao Mansion and should be tried by the Three Law Divisions." ”

The Son of Heaven became impatient and said, "That is, there is a precedent, and the Qing and others will judge according to the rules." ”

When Li Shiwen heard that the case was handed over to the Three Law Divisions for adjudication, he was overjoyed, and immediately came to Jingzhao Prison and scolded a steward in front of Li Mao, claiming that Li Mao was framed by an adulterer, and should not be treated as an ordinary suspect, and should be treated preferentially.

He also held a banquet in the steward's room to entertain Li Mao, asking him to endure for a few days, and asked if he wanted to bring his family members to serve. Li Mao naturally didn't want to implicate Xiaoru, so he politely rejected Li Shi's kindness, and Li Shi was able to make this statement, which made Li Mao feel relieved. Although this king is a greedy man, he is worthy of association as an official.

The three yamens of the Criminal Department, the Yushitai, and the Dali Temple hold the judicial power, and they are the key objects of care of the Shangdu Jinju Academy, and there are many acquaintances, so it is easy to do things. In addition, with Li Shi's help behind his back, the case developed in favor of Li Mao from the beginning. The results of the triage of the three legal divisions are:

Li Mao, the master of the Jinju Academy in the capital of Ziqing, misbehaved, participated in the gambling game organized by the scoundrels in the market, and after losing the gamble, he exchanged the family heirloom jade in the pawnshop for 30 gambling funds, and did not take it for half a year, and the pawnshop was listed for sale. The free rider Li Yu bought this jade pendant for fifty yuan. At the beginning of the month, Li Mao turned over the book in the casino, wanting to redeem the jade pendant with 100 guan, and the pawnshop sent someone to negotiate with Li Fu to redeem the jade pendant.

The confessions provided by the three legal divisions are detailed, the physical witnesses are complete, and the ironclad case is like a mountain and cannot be changed.

The Son of Heaven was furious when he heard this, and issued an order to deprive Li of all officials, and then quit because of the prime minister's advice. Li Mao, as an official of the imperial court, misbehaved and openly involved in gambling, and was immediately dismissed from his own position and demoted to a commoner.

With a word from the Son of Heaven, Li Mao's hard-earned six-grade official turned into a mirror.

During the trial of the three law divisions, Li Shigu of Yunzhou urgently sent Li Yacheng to Beijing to rescue. After the case was concluded, Li Yacheng personally went to greet Li Mao outside the gate of the Yushitai prison, and asked with a smile: "Is there rice worms in the prison meal of Yushitai?" Is the soup so rancid that you want to vomit even when you smell it? Li Mao said: "Yacheng, I was killed in the line of duty, you didn't say a word of comfort, but ridiculed when you met, is it the love of being friends?" ”

Li Yacheng said with a smile: "Brother Maohua has had a smooth journey, he has not encountered setbacks, you must know that if you want to be a big official, you have to go to prison first, and those who have not been in prison are lacking a little bit after all." ”

Xiao Ru, who was traveling with him, gave him a vicious look, and Li Yacheng didn't think it was wrong, but laughed.

Li Yacheng was once regarded as the eyeliner that Yu Hualong planted in the Jiedu Envoy's Mansion, but the fact is the opposite, Li Yacheng is actually an important eye and ear that Li Shigu installed in Hualong's side, after the Qing Navy was dismembered, Li Yacheng was ordered to go to Haizhou to rectify the salt affairs, which was an out-and-out fat shortage.

When Li Mao left Gushan Town to serve as a detainer in the Yunzhou Military Mansion, Li Yacheng had already left Yunzhou to go to Haizhou, and the two did not have much intersection, and the relationship between them was far from intimate.

Li Yacheng's only purpose in coming to Chang'an was to rescue Li Mao, and before leaving, Li Shigu summoned him alone, gave him a face-to-face lecture, told him a summary of Li Mao's affairs, and instructed him to protect Li Mao at all costs.

Li Mao made great achievements and was framed, according to Li Shigu's temper, he must reward Li Mao.

Li Mao has already won the favor of Yunzhou, and this is a step further - Lin Ying judged - Li Shigu should also hand over the dark line of the concert hall to him, so that Li Mao will become his top boss, so to rescue Li Mao, Lin Ying also spared no effort.

Therefore, when Li Yacheng asked him for Li Yu's confession, Lin Ying happily handed over the confession.

Li Miao's confession shocked Li Yacheng, what shocked him was not the content of Li Miao's words, these copper tiger heads had already been reported, what shocked him was that these contents came out of Li Miao's mouth, and Li Mi also drew a flower on the confession, Li Yacheng, who knew Ziqing's internal affairs, naturally knew the weight of this confession, this is a divine weapon given to Li Shigu by God, with this confession, Li Shigu can occupy the absolute initiative on the issue of the inheritance of the marshal!

Only at this time can Li Yacheng deeply understand the true meaning of Li Shigu's "at all costs". This also made him dispel some unrealistic thoughts about the future Chang'an, Li Shigu sent him to Chang'an just to save people, and did not let him replace Li Mao in charge of the Jinjuan Academy.

If he can't get this done, his status in Li Shigu's heart will plummet, and the future will be sad.

Seeing this, Li Yacheng went all out and did his best during the temporary presiding over the Jinjuyuan. It can be said that Li Mao was able to get out of the prison of the Imperial History Prison, and Li Yacheng contributed a lot.

Because of this confidence, he can talk and laugh with Li Mao, which is the atmosphere of grace and gratitude.

As for Li Mao, the dismissal is certainly a loss, but this loss is not large, and it will inevitably be compensated back in the future.

After experiencing this incident, he not only consolidated his position as Li Shigu's confidant, but also became one of the few cadres in his eyes. This can be seen from the level-eyed gaze of Li Yacheng, who has followed Li Shigu for many years.

Li Mao asked Qingmo to send Xiaoru back first, and he went to a secret mansion in the city with Lin Ying and Li Yacheng.

Soon after serving as the head of the Ziqing Concert Academy in Shangdu, Li Mao knew that the Ziqing Concert Courtyard was divided into two places, the Concert Courtyard located in Chongrenfang was in Ming, dealing with fair and honest affairs, and there was also a secret Concert Courtyard in an inconspicuous corner of the city, which was responsible for handling some shady things for Ziqing Shuai, such as kidnapping, assassination, finding out news, bribing and bribing court officials for his own use.

This concert hall is actually a branch of Tonghutou in Chang'an, because of its important position, Tonghutou even set up a general manager and an overseer to sit here.

The Bronze Tiger Head has a tight and large organizational system, and its nominal supreme leader is called the Grand Governor, who is usually filled by the confidants and cronies of the Jiedu Envoy.

But in fact, the chief steward is only a fictitious leader, and the real power of the copper tiger head is in the hands of the four chief stewards, all of whom are highly respected people in the organization, and because they are worried about the excessive concentration of power and have ambitions, they have appointed cronies to serve as overseers to restrain the power of the chief steward.

Chang'an is the heartland of the Tang Dynasty, and Tonghutou attaches great importance to it, not only setting up a branch here, but also setting up a general manager, the prime minister of Chang'an and customs affairs.

The governor of Chang'an spends more than half of the year in Yunzhou handling official business, and when the governor is absent, he acts as a capital leader with relatively low seniority. (Dissertation College)
