So many impeachment scripts of Li Bu made Zhao Zhen's head bigger. Although he kept these chapters from the beginning, this angered the ministers even more, not only the imperial historians, but even the people from the six departments of the three provinces and Kaifeng Prefecture began to hand over this chapter. That chapter is like a snowflake, fully showing the emperor what it means to be outnumbered. Especially after someone in Kaifeng Mansion first accused Li Buqi of stealing with the small officials, the imperial historians were like chicken blood, and when they went to the court, one was stronger than the other, and they all learned that Kou Zhun hated to hold Zhao Zhen's neck and not let him go.

In the emperor's heart, Li Buqi is a character who not only turns stones into gold, but also regards money as nothing, you may believe that he will rebel against the emperor, but the emperor really does not believe that Li Buqi will be greedy for that little money. Didn't you see Li Buqi casually throwing gold mountains to run libraries and colleges? Can he see a little money?

But since Song Taizu, the Great Song official family has always been timid, how can they stand this kind of pressure, Zhao Zhen is so sad that he can't sleep at night. In the early dynasty, in the face of a large group of imperial historians, Zhao Zhen had no choice but to agree: "Okay, then let Dali Temple try this case." Master Ding, you will hear the trial on my behalf. ”

Ding Du hurriedly went out of work and agreed. Everyone understands that this is to prevent someone from planting Li and not giving up.

But Liu Xiang is not worried at all, the witnesses are watching now, and he is not afraid that Li Buqi will turn the case over. But as soon as the San Dynasty returned to the gate of the Imperial Historical Tower, he saw a bookstore who had been waiting there for a long time trotting over. Liu Xiang hurriedly asked, "What happened?" ”

The clerk said in a hurry: "Oh no, the person who first sued Li Buqi is dead?" ”

"Huh? Isn't there someone staring? How could it be dead? Let people kill? At this time, Liu Xiang was overjoyed: Could it be that Li Buqi let people kill the witness? That Li didn't give up, but it was a big mistake.

But the bookstore shook his head like a rattle: "No! It was self-inflicted. ”

"Suicide?"

"It's suicide! He also left a bloody letter, saying that several officials in the Sansi case hated Li Buqi and fired them, arrested him for his mistakes, and forced him to sue him. Later, he was scared, and he felt sorry for Li Buqi, so he committed suicide, and left a blood letter explaining the reason, begging Li Buqi to let his family go. In the morning, the people of his family carried the corpse to Kaifeng Mansion to complain, and Kaifeng Mansion had to invite a few officials to Kaifeng Mansion to inquire. Several officials didn't dare to come out in the third division now, so they had to send someone to ask what to do with the imperial history. ”

"Huh?" Liu Xiang's mind was blank, and he secretly scolded those people in his heart. At that time, they patted their chests and assured him that nothing would go wrong, who would have thought that there would be such a flip situation. But he was not reconciled, and hurriedly asked: "Those few businessmen who were detained in Kaifeng Mansion and sold stolen goods didn't have an accident, right?" ”

"This one doesn't."

This answer made Liu Xiang breathe a sigh of relief. Although the person who first complained was back, as long as the next family who sold the stolen goods was there, and the materials of the ordnance workshop had indeed been found from their home, then at least the matter of stealing and selling the ordnance workshop was not a fictuary.

He thought for a while and said, "You go and deliver the letter and let them go to Kaifeng Mansion." If you do it yourself, you naturally have to admit it, and if you don't do it yourself, you can't let people splash dirty water on you. Also, let people look at those who sold stolen goods, and I will ask Dali Temple to take over the prisoners. ”

However, the Dali Temple has just completed the formalities, and the situation has changed again. There was news from Kaifeng Mansion that several officials of the Third Division were taken to Kaifeng Mansion and were immediately recognized by the next family who sold the stolen goods, pointing out that they had to sell the materials that were found to them in the first place.

Liu Xiang immediately understood, this is the other way around! They've dug a hole and are waiting for you to jump in. If someone dies, this matter cannot be explained without an explanation, and in the end, it may not be possible to find out who is responsible.

The first thing he thought of was the ghost that Li Buqi had done, and he couldn't help gritting his teeth: Even if you just want to buy a lathe for the case, I can bring you down.

But after this thought turned around in his heart, he was a little puzzled: Wouldn't this be a trap too? Otherwise, how could Li Buqi have always been cautious, how could he make such an obvious mistake?

Just when Liu Xiang was entangled, the tolerance of Dali Temple had reached the third division. The melon-eating masses who don't know the truth in the third division are trembling: two sets of tolerances came in one day, and so many officials were taken away, what the hell is this going on?

When Li Buqi calmly arrived at Dali Temple, Ding Du was already there. Because the Imperial City Division had already reported the matter of Kaifeng Mansion to Zhao Zhen, Zhao Zhen immediately ordered Dali Temple to immediately interrogate the case without delay.

As a result, Li Buqi didn't need to speak, and several of the subordinates who were accused of selling the stolen goods unanimously pointed out that the two officials forcibly sold some of their goods of unknown origin before Li Buqi took office, and some people saw that there were marks on them, and they thought they were unlucky for fear of causing trouble, and hid their things at home.

The testimonies of several people fit perfectly, and Li Buqi thought it was too perfect, but it was really difficult to debunk it in the era of imperfect reconnaissance methods in the Great Song Dynasty. And at this time, one of the several petty officials who was dragged out made up another knife and came out to testify against the two officials. The type and quantity of the time and materials are consistent with the confession of the next family who sold the stolen goods, so you can't believe the testimony.

After questioning a few witnesses, Ding Du asked Shaoqing of Dali Temple who tried the case: "How do you think this case should be decided?" How should the old man return to His Majesty? ”

Shaoqing of Dali Temple also took the impeachment of Li Buqi, and now he can't get off the stage, but when he saw Ding Du's eyes, he was helpless, so he had to say: "The facts of this case seem to be clear and clear, it is a few officials who have been guarding and stealing themselves who have a grudge against Judge Li and they are framed. It's just that to close the case, you need to ask carefully again to make sure that there is nothing else hidden. In this way, the lower officials temporarily imprisoned all these people. ”

"Does Li not give up and be imprisoned?"

"Oh, now it seems that Judge Li was framed, but he doesn't need to be imprisoned. It's just that if there are other things that need to be confirmed by Judge Li, I also ask Judge Li to be with you. ”

Ding Du got up from his chair at this time: "Okay then." I'll go back and report to Your Majesty. ”

At this time, Li Buqi said, "I'd better wait here for two days." What if it is found that the person who framed the subordinate is behind the scenes? ”

Shaoqing's face in Dali Temple turned green - this is to climb, this matter is tricky, I don't know how many people will be involved.

Fortunately, Ding Du snorted: "You still have the face to say?" It's not that you're careless, how can you be called by others? Go home and think about it. ”

Ding Du can also be regarded as Li Buqi's teacher, so Li Buqi shrank his neck and disguised his grandson, and followed Ding Du out of Dali Temple. Shaoqing of Dali Temple wiped a cold sweat at this time.

When he went out, Ding Du deliberately distanced himself from the servant and then asked quietly: "Is it your command to make this trouble?" ”

Li Buqi shook his head resolutely: "It has nothing to do with me. They wanted to frame me with the things I had done before I took office, but they didn't expect that the officials who did these things were afraid to pull out the radishes and bring out the mud. The involvement is too big, so it's strange if you don't jump off the wall in a hurry. ”

Ding Du nodded in approval, and then asked, "But how did you do such a thing?" Do you understand to avoid suspicion? ”

Li Buqi said: "The workshop can save thousands of times a month by using lathes, and even more in the future, which I wrote in the paperwork." This is out of public interest. ”

Ding Du was so angry that he pointed his finger at Li Buqi and almost roared: "Gongxin can't do it!" I don't see many people grabbing this handle! ”

Li Buqi made a look of grievance: "That can save the imperial court tens of thousands of times a year." ”

Seeing that Li Bu gave up this look, Ding Du eased up a little: "I will report to the official family truthfully." Think about how to deal with those officials! ”
