Chapter 430: The Tree Wants to Be Quiet and the Wind Doesn't Stop (Three Watches)
A few days later, Jinyi Weibei Town Fusi. Heaven's Voice'.『 ⒉
"Master Li, someone brought it." When Li Hongyu was sitting on a chair and drinking tea, a thousand households walked in and bowed to Li Hongyu and reported.
"The little one knocks to the adult." Under Li Hongyu's gaze, several soldiers escorted a man in prison uniform and shackles, in his thirties, and knelt down to Li Hongyu in a proper manner.
"Let him see if he knows these things." Li Hongyu glanced at the man, put down the teacup in his hand, and then ordered a hundred households on the side in a deep voice.
"Any idea what this is?" Hearing this, the Baihu picked up the tray on the table next to him, put the tray in front of the man in prison clothes, and asked expressionlessly.
There was a small porcelain jar on the tray, and the porcelain jar contained the powder that was found in the utility room of Li Kezhuo's house.
"Back to the adults, the little ones feel like 'fairy san'." After some careful identification, the man in prison clothes said to Li Hongyu.
"Immortal San?" Li Hongyu's brows were slightly stunned when he heard this, it was the first time he had heard of this name.
"My lord, that's what we call this drug in private."
Seeing this, the man in prison clothes hurriedly explained to Li Hongyu, "When the little one used to pour out the medicinal materials, he bought a batch of this medicine from a medicinal herb merchant in the south, and it is said that it came from the barbarians on the Yungui side, because the name is very awkward, so the small one gave it such a name. ”
"Why do you call it 'immortal san'?"
Li Hongyu frowned slightly when he heard this, no wonder he didn't know that this kind of thing turned out to be a name given to him by the man in prison clothes in private, and then asked quietly.
"Back to my lord, this medicine has a magical effect that makes people forget their troubles and pains, and no matter how sluggish they are after taking it, they will immediately feel a hundred times more energetic."
The eyes of the man in prison clothes couldn't help but flash a look of excitement, and he said to Li Hongyu with a fluttering eyebrow, "The little one has never seen such a miraculous medicine before, it is simply an immortal medicine in the sky, so I named it 'Immortal San'." ”
"What happens after taking it?"
Li Hongyu's brows furrowed slightly, and from the words of the man in prison clothes, he could already determine that this immortal powder must be some kind of stimulant drug, so he asked in a deep voice.
"At the beginning, I was refreshed and inexplicably comfortable, but this is the elixir of the fairy world, mortals will be punished by heaven after taking it, so they will feel sleepy and powerless after a few days."
The man in prison clothes became a little embarrassed, and said to Li Hongyu with a smile, "However, you can recover after resting for a while." ”
"How many immortal powders have you sold, and where have they been sold?" Li Hongyu had already guessed that this would be the result, and asked with a cold expression.
Obviously, Shenxian San makes people's body organs in a state of excitement for a long time, and when the effect of the medicine is over, they will naturally feel very tired.
"Back to my lord, this medicine is very valuable and the quantity is limited, the villain only bought ten bottles, one bottle is about a catty, and now all of them have been sold."
The man in prison clothes knew that the person who interrogated him was Li Hongyu, so he didn't dare to have the slightest neglect, and said in a fifteen-ten manner, "Those medicines are mainly sold to the Qinglou in Bada Hutong, and the guests like to use it very much. ”
"Do you have any stock there?" Hearing this, Li Hongyu stared at the man in prison clothes and asked, he didn't care who the man in prison clothes had sold all the immortal powder to, but whether he still had the remaining immortal powder in his hand.
The reason why the man in prison clothes was arrested was because he was a drug dealer who specialized in pouring out forbidden drugs in the imperial court, and the profit obtained from reselling forbidden drugs was more than ten times higher than that of ordinary medicinal materials, so some people took risks for this.
Speaking of which, the man in prison clothes should be unlucky, his life was comfortable and very moisturizing, but who would have thought that a rich kid died on the woman's belly because of an overdose of the aphrodisiac "Hehuan San" he sold.
Originally, this kind of thing was very common, and it was to blame and blame the rich kid for his indulgence, but what was good was that the medical officer of the government showed the forbidden drugs strictly forbidden by the imperial court in Hehuansan, and this time the other party's family did not forgive, thinking that the person who sold the medicine killed the rich kid, but as a result, he was traced to his head and imprisoned.
Because the man in prison clothes was not a serious medicine dealer, but just sold those unsightly drugs in private, plus he was in prison, so the government did not find his head before.
"Back to the adult, there is still half a bottle in the small house, because the selling price of the fairy powder is very high, and the identity of the seller is very mysterious, so the small one wants people to find out what it is, and it will be purchased from the southwest in the future."
The man in prison clothes was about to deny it, but when he saw Li Hongyu staring at him like a torch, he couldn't help but shiver, and then changed his mind, kowtowed to Li Hongyu and begged, "My lord, the small sentence is true, and I hope that the adult will be light and small." ”
"Hand over the remaining immortals, and this official will count you as guilty and meritorious." Li Hongyu groaned for a while, then bowed slightly, and said to the man in prison clothes with a serious expression.
The man in prison clothes immediately breathed a sigh of relief when he heard this, and hurriedly explained the whereabouts of the half bottle of Shenxian San, and the sergeant of the Fusi of Weibei Town in Jinyi quickly brought it back and placed it on the desk in front of Li Hongyu.
"Immortal San!"
Li Hongyu opened the stopper of the porcelain bottle and sniffed it lightly at the mouth of the bottle, but there was no taste, his brows furrowed slightly, it seems that this thing was the culprit that caused Emperor Taichang's sudden death.
After finding such the most critical physical evidence, all that remains is to wait for the wandering monk to be caught, considering the progress of the wandering alchemist, he should still be on the boundary of Beizhili now, just see when he can be found.
At the same time that Li Hongyu found the "Immortal San", the officialdom of the capital suddenly sprung up, and there was a heavy rumor in the market, saying that Empress Li was going to adjust the appointment of the supervision of the imperial history and the six sections, and transfer some officials to local official positions.
According to the gossip from the palace, Empress Li mainly moved the Donglin Party this time, because the Donglin Party had a very big advantage with the support of Emperor Taichang in the previous filling.
Therefore, in order to balance the power of the various factions in the court, Empress Li was ready to transfer some of the Donglin Party's supervising imperial history and six branches out of the capital, and let the officials of the three parties of Qi, Chu and Zhejiang take over, so that the factional forces in the court would be in a balance of power.
According to rumors in the market, after the mourning period of Emperor Taichang, Empress Li will promulgate this holy decree of personnel appointment and dismissal in the name of Zhu Youxiao shortly after Zhu Youxiao ascends the throne.
This made the officialdom of the capital, which was already turbulent, shaken in an instant, and people from the Donglin Party and the Qichu and Zhejiang parties gathered to discuss this rumor.
Although Empress Li has not yet revealed the news to the outside world, it must not be groundless, and the Donglin Party and the Qichu and Zhejiang Parties naturally have to find a way to deal with it as soon as possible, so as not to be caught off guard at that time.
Moreover, if it is inferred from the previous incident of Empress Li's support for the three parties of Qi, Chu and Zhejiang, the power of the Donglin Party will be weakened.
The Donglin Party was naturally a great enemy in this regard, while the three parties of Qi, Chu and Zhejiang were overjoyed, and with the support of Empress Li, they could reverse the disadvantage of being suppressed by the Donglin Party in the court.
"The trees want to be quiet and the wind doesn't stop!" Li Hongyu shook his head helplessly after learning the increasingly intense news in the capital, and said something slowly.
There is no doubt that this rumor, which is destined to be unverified, is a catalyst that has intensified all kinds of contradictions in the power field of the capital, and God knows from there.
However, at this time, it was obvious that no one cared about its authenticity, and its appearance revealed a message to the outside world, that is, Empress Li was going to make the battle between the factions in the capital into an even state, which was undoubtedly a heavy blow to the Donglin Party, which had just gained the dominance of the court.
Zhao Xin had the same thoughts as Li Hongyu, and felt that this news was a little weird, even if Empress Li wanted to suppress the Donglin Party, she would not be able to bear it at this time, after all, it was still the mourning period of Emperor Taichang, and Empress Li would not be so eager to act if she was not firmly established now.
Therefore, both Li Hongyu and Zhao Xin suspected that the news that Li Hongyu wanted to move the Donglin Party spokesman was spread with ulterior motives and had ill intentions.
Li Hongyu now knows one thing very well, that is, the Donglin Party will definitely not sit still, and will definitely find a way to counterattack, and their target will be towards Queen Li.
The reason is very simple, Empress Li wants to balance the forces of the various factions in the court, which makes the Donglin Party, which is in an advantageous position in the party dispute, be affected, and the Donglin Party must overcome the difficulty of Empress Li if it wants to get out of the current "predicament".
As far as Li Hongyu is concerned, no matter who has the upper hand in the party struggle between the Donglin Party and the Qichu and Zhejiang parties, it has nothing to do with him, judging from the current situation, the Customs Department has not yet been able to enter the eyes of the various factions in the court, and he has the support of Zhu Youxiao, and it is not easy for others to deal with him.
Therefore, what Li Hongyu has to do is to keep a low profile as much as possible, and then go to the local government to do his best to carry out the affairs of the Customs Department, as long as those people in the court don't trouble him, he won't bother to pay attention to the power struggles in the court.
Li Hongyu believes that Zhao Xin will handle the relationship with the various factions in the court in the capital, speaking of which, Li Hongyu and Zhao Xin are both Zhu Youxiao's confidants, and it is not easy for others to move the two of them, and with the strength of the two, those offending will definitely ask for their own hardships.
Therefore, Li Hongyu focused his energy on the trial of Li Kezhuo's case, and his main purpose was to find out Li Kezhuo's case, only in this way could Emperor Taichang go with peace of mind and be blind, otherwise all kinds of gossip would ruin his reputation.
After this period of investigation, Li Hongyu has obtained many important clues, on the surface it seems that Li Kezhuo's case has no clue, in fact, Li Hongyu has been able to guess the ins and outs of the case, and now he can solve the mystery just waiting for the Yunyou Fang Shi to return to the case.
