Knowing that Li Chang was dismissed from his post and going home, there was always a bad feeling, and the public was also one of the reasons why he was sick and lying on the bed. Today, that premonition has finally come true.

Li Chang said in a fierce voice: "The surname Du, don't deceive people too much, you have to point out what royal law the old man has violated, otherwise, let's go to the Empress Dowager to comment!" ”

Du Wenhao sneered: "I will naturally say it, but it's not here, it's not that I'm here to tell you, it's you who come to tell me that it's poisonous!" ”

Several masked warriors stepped forward and pulled Li Chang out of bed, and locked the chain with a swing of iron. At the same time, several others locked up his son. Escorted out.

In the courtyard, Li Chang's wives and concubines and children were all gathered together, but except for him and his son, no one else was chained. The wife and children were so frightened that they hugged each other and cried non-stop.

Li Chang has been admitted to the imperial history for many years, he has always supervised others, and has never been supervised by others, where after such a battle, he is a little angry, but he wants to scold but does not dare, for fear of annoying these people and suffering immediate losses.

The masked soldiers searched around the Li family's mansion, piling all the gold and silver treasures on the ground of the courtyard, piling them higher and higher, and these people seemed to have divided their work, some specialized in collecting gold and silver treasures, and some seemed to be looking for something.

Li Chang and his son Li Duan glanced at each other, both with a worried face.

Du Wenhao stood in the middle of the field, as if he was waiting for something.

ten thousand

Finally, a few, masked black-clothed warriors came out with a middle-aged man, came to the field, and went to the ground: "General." Found this guy."

As soon as they saw this person, Li Chang and Li Duan were both colorless.

Immediately after, another black-clothed soldier hurriedly came to report: "General Qiqi." We have one. A hidden cellar filled with chests of gold, silver, and jewelry.

Du Wenhao glanced at Li Chang and Li Duan's father and son, and said coldly: "All of them are transported to the center of the courtyard!" ”

"Order". The man ran back to the county, very quickly. The black-clothed soldier used a cart to push boxes of gold and silver keys into the middle of the courtyard. Soon it was a hill!

Du Wenhao pointed to the man on the ground and said to Li Chang: "Master Li, who is this?" ”

"He" is a cousin of the old man who came to the capital to do business

"Really?" Du Wenhao looked sideways at the man, "Is that so?" ”

Yes "Yes, they relatives I am". This man spoke with a big tongue and did not seem to be from Middle-earth. And speaking Chinese is also very awkward.

"Oh, then since it's a relative, how can you hide it in the cellar?"

"This,,cool in the cellar for me,"

"Cool in the cellar? How can you talk like this, okay, since you are a relative of the Li family, then good, this courtyard is full of people from the Li family, you tell who they are, let's be right one by one

Li Chang hurriedly laughed and said: "Du Zaizhi, he hasn't come to the Humble House for many years, and he doesn't know him." ”

Du Wenhao smiled: "Okay, don't lie, we all know who he is." One

He's a fine work of Western Xia, right? ”

"You," you are talking nonsense! Li Chang said sharply.

"I'm sorry, Master Li, I sent someone to keep an uninterrupted watch on your house day and night. The whereabouts of you and your family have also been monitored, so that this strange person has come to your house, so our people have paid your servants to learn some insiders. And send someone to infiltrate your house to investigate. Knowing first-hand information, we wouldn't have taken decisive action if it weren't for that. ”

As soon as they heard this, Li Chang's father and son suddenly wilted.

Du Wenhao pointed to the mountain of gold and silver locks in the middle of the courtyard: "By the way, we found another cellar in your house, and the mountains in it are full of gold and silver treasures." According to your income, it is simply impossible to have so much money, where does all this money come from? ”

"You call me from Beli! Anyway, it's not stealing, it's not robbing. ”

"Of course I have to take care of it, you are in charge of anti-corruption, but the leader of the anti-corruption agency has such a huge wealth in his family, far more than your income, I have secretly investigated, your family is not operating or engaged in any profitable business at all, I am afraid that the money is only from corruption and bribery, right?

"You're spewing blood." Li Chang said in a fierce voice, "The old and dignified imperial history is to punish corrupt officials and corrupt officials, so naturally we have to set an example, how can we be."

"Then you have to make it clear where the money is coming from!" Du Wenhao said coldly, "You also said that you are responsible for anti-corruption, but you are corrupt and bribery, but no one cares." Hehe, that's the end of the good thing now! Let me tell you, the agency that governs you now has it, and that is our National Security Agency! Last time I went to court, the Empress Dowager's authorization was very clear, as long as we the National Security Bureau deemed that we should have jurisdiction over the case, we have jurisdiction. Therefore, we will also directly insert the New Year into the cases of corruption and bribery in your Yushitai, as well as the cases of corruption and bribery and malfeasance that are unfavorable to the obituary! ※

Li Chang said coldly with a bit of pride: "Even if the source of my money is unknown, you have no reason to arrest me and punish me!" There is no such article in the criminal law."

"Haha, you're real! The criminal law was written by a man, and you think that with my current means, it is not possible to add a crime to the criminal law that applies to your situation? For example, the crime of illegal gains? Even if the criminal law is not amended, can't I suggest that the Empress Dowager issue an edict to crack down on your ill-gotten gains? ”

The edict was a very important source of law in the Song Dynasty, and it could not be changed after the Song Dynasty criminal system was formulated. However, with the passage of time, "there will inevitably be many places that do not conform to reality, and many new situations and new crimes need to be regulated. There are many such edicts, and since they are all made for specific matters, it is difficult to apply them when the same situation is encountered later, so they are compiled by a special and detailed edict. Especially in the late Northern Song Dynasty, the role of imperial edicts often passed through the Song Dynasty and became the main legal basis for adjudicating cases. The phenomenon of "breaking the law with the law" is becoming more and more frequent.

After all, Du Wenhao studied forensic science, and concurrently studied major laws, plus he has been here for more than a year, and he still understands the legal system of the Song Dynasty.

Li Chang's forehead was sweating, it was difficult for him to deal with the young man now, but he was unwilling to admit defeat, smiled faintly, and said, "Even if you can do this, how can you bear me?" Don't forget. Taizu Legacy, my Great Song Dynasty will not kill the scholars! ”

Du Wenhao has noticed this problem since he became the chief executive, and he also specially asked the scholars to ask, listening to Li often use this as a shield, he couldn't help but look up to the sky and laugh, and said: "Lord Li, you have been in the imperial history for a long time, don't you know how Zhao Chenghe, the imperial historian of Emperor Taizong, died?" ”

Li Chang's face changed suddenly, when Emperor Taizong, Zhao Chenghe, the imperial servant, sat in the city to collect official money, and was executed by Emperor Taizong and abandoned the city. How did I forget this stubble?

Du Wenhao saw that he had hit his vital point, smiled, and sneered: "When the Empress Dowager gave me the Shang Fang Sword, she had already authorized it to me. Do you understand what that means? First, you are only from the third grade, and you belong to the list of my first cut and then play! Second, the rule of "the so-called not killing scholars" can be changed, not only can the emperor kill those corrupt officials and corrupt officials on a special basis, but also our country's security bureau! You still have to think about it, if you cooperate well, I may be able to surround your life, otherwise. Cho Seung-hei is your role model."

Li Chang lowered his head with a white face and was silent.

Du Wenhao was too lazy to talk nonsense with him, and ordered Li Chang's father and son, and his family to be escorted back to Sanya. After all the gold and silver treasures were registered, they were also transported back to the Sanya Treasury for safekeeping.

Because the office building of the National Security Bureau has not yet been repaired, it is temporarily located in Sanyali. There are detention and interrogation rooms here.

Du Wenhao did not want to interrogate himself, he had a special aversion to torture to extract confessions, and although it was legal in the Song Dynasty, he did not want to participate. Therefore, the matter of the interrogation was handed over to Lu Sheng, the chief of the interrogation division of the Internal Intelligence Special Service Department.

When raiding Li Chang's house, he also copied out many notepads, which aroused Du Wenhao's interest. Taking advantage of this, Du Wenhao took a closer look at the books and found many interesting clues.

Du Wenhao was looking at it, and Lu Shengxing, who was in charge of the interrogation, rushed to report that Li Chang's father and son and the arrested Western Xia spy had expressed their willingness to confess.

Du Wenhao was overjoyed and said: "You kid still have some ability, didn't you cripple him?" ”

"It's all adults who attack the heart well, and we don't dare to use punishment." Lu Sheng smiled: "This old boy has old arms and legs, and he didn't need to be beaten, so he started from his wife and concubine, blocked it, broke a few fingers of his wife and concubine, and threatened to go to his wife and concubine, so the old boy bowed his head."

"He's ***, you're really bad." Du Wenhao said.

can

"General, if you want to pry your mouth open, you can't use some means."

"Forget it, I don't ask you what means you use in the future, as long as you can pry the mouth open. Just don't kill people. The people I decided to attack are all ironclad evidence, and I can't wronged them, so it's okay to let them suffer a little, but don't hurt the innocent in the future. ”

"Yes, yes! General, please rest assured, we will satisfy you. ”

Du Wenhao rushed to the interrogation room, only to see Li Chang sitting on a stool in the corner in a state of exhaustion, and there was no trace of torture on his body.

Du Wenhao sat behind the desk and said coldly: "Li Chang, let's talk about it, what happened to the Western Xia spy?" ”

Li Chang looked up at Du Wenhao: "Lord Du, the old man can tell you all the things you want to know, I only hope you can promise one thing, don't hurt my family again, they are innocent." ”
