Chapter 145: An Intractable Crisis
Li Chengqian looked very excited, and Changsun Chong and Zhang Xuansu also looked good. Pen & Fun & Pavilion www.biquge.info especially Li Chengqian, seems to have been beaten with chicken blood.
Li Su smiled and said: "Brother Prince, who is the fox and what tail?" ”
Li Chengqian said: "Cousin, let's talk about it." ”
Changsun Chong said: "The last time I went to investigate the human trafficking case in Hanzhuang County, there was no breakthrough at that time, and the key witnesses were all killed or transferred by them. I saw that I really couldn't break through, so I secretly asked Hao Juncheng, the superintendent of Shandong Province, to investigate secretly, and finally found a witness who they hid in prison.
Now, things have made significant progress.
According to the witness's confession, the gang was a very large criminal gang mainly engaged in human trafficking and salt and iron trading. Human trafficking is mainly the abduction of women and children from the northwest region to Luoyang, Yangzhou and other wealthy areas.
The salt and iron trade is mainly to trade with the three major tribes on the grassland, which began 5 years ago, although now the grassland tribes have been nominally incorporated into the Tang Dynasty, but the previous behavior is a big crime of the enemy. ”
At this point, he paused, then laughed, and said, "Guess who's behind this?" ”
Li Su shook his head and said, "Don't sell it, I can't think of it." ”
Changsun Chong said with a smile: "This case involves dozens of officials, big and small, and the biggest mastermind behind it is in Chang'an, he is Lan Yu, the right attendant of the household department, he is the father of the concubine of the king of Shu, and now, the king of Shu is also involved." ”
Li Chengqian said with a smile: "The King of Shu has always been against us, and now he is good-looking." ”
Li Su also smiled: "Okay, eldest grandson, you didn't work hard in vain this time, and the harvest is not small." ”
Zhang Xuansu said: "This time, the emperor sent Yan Liben, the left servant of the Criminal Department, to investigate, but there was no progress. This Yan Li was originally a close confidant of Li Tai, the king of Wei, and now, the eldest grandson Chong took the lead. This time, the King of Shu and the King of Wei both fell behind. ”
Li Chengqian said: "Sixth brother, has the evidence provided by the Tiele Department and the Tuli Department arrived?" ”
Li Su shook his head and said, "Not yet." ”
Zhang Xuansu said: "Forget it, there is no evidence on the grassland, and it doesn't matter, with the current clues, so many people are involved, arrest them, and the first instance will all understand." ”
Li Su said: "That's okay, you can just look at it, if you need a place for your younger brother, you can just tell the prince's brother." ”
Li Su was not interested in these things, and when he left the East Palace, he forgot about it.
Li Su originally wanted to live an easy life and didn't want to work so hard, but when he was in the central county, he saw with his own eyes that many ordinary people lived in poverty, and many children could not afford to wear clothes.
He now thinks that if he works harder, makes one more product, and opens one more factory, he will be able to provide more employment opportunities, create more wealth, and feed more people.
He now stays in the research institute every day, extracting the technologies that can be realized in Datang from Baidu one by one, and then goes to the teacher training class of the industrial school, teaches them, and then asks them to teach the students.
The days are dull and hectic.
On this day, Yang Kang knocked on the door and said, "Secretary Wait." ”
Hou Haitang said, "Come in, Captain Yang."
Yang Kang came in and asked, "Is the prince busy?" ”
Begonia said, "Wait a minute. Then she stood up, knocked on the people in the room, and called softly, "Brother Sue." ”
Li Su's voice came from inside, saying, "Wait a minute." ”
This is Li Suding's rule, whenever you want to see him, you must be passed on by Haitang first. It's not that he has many rules, but now there are not only Begonias outside, but also two Begonia assistants, both of whom are girls.
The weather was getting hotter and thinner, and there was no air conditioning or fan, and he sometimes took off his coat in his room and worked only in his vest. Pay attention to the impact.
"Is there something wrong, Begonia?" Li Su then asked.
"It's Captain Yang who has something to do with you." Begonia said.
"Call him in." Li Su commanded.
Yang Kang came in, and he said, "Lord Wang, Concubine Yang Niangniang has sent someone, and she seems to be very anxious, so you can enter the palace to see her immediately." ”
Li Su asked while putting on his coat, "Do you know what's going on?" ”
Yang Kang shook his head and said, "I don't know, Chen has already prepared a car for you outside." ”
Out of the office door, I saw the little eunuch Xiao Muzi next to Concubine Yang, and he said, "Your Highness, Concubine Yang has something urgent to find you, so let you go quickly." ”
The cement road from the research institute to Chang'an City has now been repaired, and this road is a special road leading to the industrial city, and basically no one else passes except for the cars, horses and pedestrians related to the industrial city. But that's it, it's a very busy road.
The scale of the industrial city has been further expanded, and now there are 25 factories in operation, and there are many cars and horses transporting materials and products on the road, and it is a prosperous scene.
Li Su had to pass through this road every day, and the vehicles that had passed by had to avoid King Liang's carriage when they saw it. Li Su felt that this was not good, so he issued a notice to let all the vehicles drive normally, and there was no need to avoid him.
Therefore, on the way, he walked for about 40 minutes before arriving at the palace.
The Chenghui Hall where Concubine Yang lived.
"You're here." Concubine Yang cried when she saw Li Su.
"What's going on, Princess?" Li Su asked.
Concubine Yang cried: "Save your brother, he has been locked up." ”
At this time, Li Su saw that the text of the Chinese scholar Lang Cen was also here, so he asked, "Lord Cen, what is going on?"
Cen Wenwen said: "Your Highness, at the end of last year, the emperor received your recital, so he sent Yan Liben, the left attendant of the Criminal Department, to Hedong Road to investigate the salt and iron smuggling case. Recently, it has come to light, and this matter has implicated His Royal Highness the King of Shu.
The emperor was furious and ordered the right attendant of the household to be imprisoned, Lan Yu, who was the father of the concubine of the king of Shu, and this matter involved the king of Shu, so the emperor ordered His Royal Highness the king of Shu to be imprisoned. He said that he would strictly investigate to the end and give him a heavy punishment. ”
"Su'er, you should think of a way to save your brother." Concubine Yang cried.
Li Su felt depressed for a while.
He knew about it. He didn't want to do anything to Li Ke, he thought that this matter was not necessarily Li Ke's doing. Even if Lan Yu, the right attendant of the household department, is implicated, according to the usual situation, Lan Yu should take this matter down by himself. In this way, there is also Li Ke, the king of Shu, taking care of him outside, why did he involve the king of Shu?
"It's fucking stupid. Li Ke is a waste, look at your father-in-law, what kind of thing is it? Li said in his heart.
Li Ke can't have an accident, if something happens to him, not only will Concubine Yang be emotionally unbearable, but her status in the palace will also be greatly affected, and even Li Ke will be affected.
However, Li Ke has many enemies, and this matter is too tricky.
