Although Yu Wenshu's stick wound gradually recovered, he still couldn't walk, and he was carried into the inner hall of the Henan Government Office by several domestic slaves on his shoulders.

Li Gang was very polite, asked Yuwen Shu to sit down, and said sincerely: "General Yuwen is unwell, why do you want to come in person?" If there is something, just let Ling Lang come and tell me. ”

Yu Wenshu snorted lightly, "I'm afraid that my son will come, Li Fujun won't even let him in, and the old man can only run in person." ”

Li Gang listened to his mean tone, only smiled, and did not respond to his words, Yuwenshu's tone changed and said: "The old man is here for last night's incident, I don't know when Li Fujun plans to release my unfilial sons?" ”

"I have basically investigated the facts of the case, and I will release anyone who has nothing to do with this case immediately, please rest assured General Yuwen, I will not let them be wronged."

"Then thank you, since the prince said that the case has been clarified, who is the real murderer? I heard that there are two real murderers, I don't know who Li Fujun thinks? ”

"Of course there will not be two murderers, but there are two people who claim to be the real murderers, in fact, there can only be one person, according to the results of this official's investigation, the murderer should be Luo Shixin, not Zhang Xuan, the guard of King Yan."

"That's not right!"

Yu Wenshu said coldly: "Li Fujun's investigation is wrong!" All my subordinates saw with their own eyes that it was the guard Zhang Xuan who killed Wang Qingfang, why did Li Fujun insist on planting a small Flying Eagle Army commander to protect King Yan's guards, could it be that Li Fujun didn't dare to offend His Royal Highness King Yan? ”

Li Gang said with an angry face: "Why did the general say this? When I, Li Gang, am afraid of offending people, I only adhere to the principle, whoever did it, then who should be guilty, there is absolutely no protection, and Luo Shixin's murder is also a mistake, which belongs to the category of self-defense, and must not be equated with a normal crime of homicide. ”

"What do you mean by Li Fujun, does my righteous son deserve to die? The murderer is a hero, should he be honored with great fanfare? ”

"I didn't say this, I just said that he was injured by mistake, and of course he is guilty, and he can only be punished for the crime of negligent wounding?"

Yu Wenshu sneered repeatedly, "I don't think the murder case should be tried by Li Fujun, that's a matter of the Criminal Department, why are you so decisive?" ”

"Who says I can't try murder? The Criminal Department is only reviewing, but the trial power is in my hands, even if the Criminal Department does not agree, they can only return it for me to retry, the general does not understand the rules of the imperial court. ”

"Really?"

Yu Wenshu sneered, shook his head and said, "I originally wanted to communicate with Li Fujun well, it seems that the two of us have too deep differences, so let's do it!" Who is the murderer, I also hope that Li Fujun will not be too hasty, I will report this matter to the saint, and I believe that the saint will administer justice for me. ”

Yuwen Shu moved the emperor out to oppress Li Gang, Li Gang was not threatened by him, "Of course I won't be hasty, I will continue to investigate in depth, one thing I want to remind General Yuwen that Lang Yuwen Zhihe is also the person involved, he is the perpetrator of this murder, please General Yuwen send him in time, otherwise I have a wanted warrant, it will be troublesome." ”

Yuwen Shu was furious, "Li Gang, you deceive people too much, I will never give up with you, let's see!" ”

He shouted: "Go!" ”

Several Yuwen slaves who were waiting under the hall hurriedly ran up, shouldered their shoulders and walked outside the official office, Li Gang slowly walked to the door, and said unhurriedly: "I hope that Yuwen Zhi and the official office will surrender, otherwise the official's wanted warrant will be issued." ”

"If you have a kind, you can send it!"

Yuwen Shu threw down a word viciously, and his figure disappeared from the gate of the courtyard.

A quarter of an hour later, Li Gang ordered the release of all the people, except for the suspect Luo Shixin and Zhang Xuan, who resolutely refused to admit his innocence.

．．．．．．．．

In the repair industry in the south of Luoyang City, there is a huge mansion covering an area of nearly 100 acres, the trees in the house are lush, the river is murmuring, the house is full of pavilions and pavilions, all kinds of buildings are painted with beams and paintings, extremely luxurious, here is the mansion of Yu Shiji, the secretary of the internal history and the military department.

Yu Shiji is a native of Huiji County in the south, the Yu family is a famous family in Jiangnan for generations, and Yu Fu during the Three Kingdoms period is also a celebrity of the Yu family.

Yu Shiji is about fifty years old, medium in stature, with deep eyes and high nose, peculiar appearance, he is shrewd and capable as an official, good at thinking about the holy will, and won the favor of Yang Guang, and gradually handed over the power of the edict to him, plus he controlled the criminal department and the military department, and also had a great say in the appointment of officials, so that Yu Shiji's power was all over the world, and there were countless people who curried favor with him.

At noon, Yu Shiji went home for lunch, and as soon as he entered the house, his stepson Xiahou Yan stepped forward and said with a smile: "Father is back!" ”

Xiahou Yan followed up with the Yu family because his mother remarried Yu Shiji, Yu Shiji treated him well, regarded him as his own, and handed over many important things to him to do.

Yu Shiji glanced at him, "What's the matter?" ”

He knows this stepson very well, so he is in a hurry to catch up, there must be something, Xiahou Yan said with a smile: "Father, Yuwen Zhiji came to me this morning, maybe their family has something to ask their father to help." ”

Yu Shiji knew that this was Yuwenshu who wanted to ask for his help, but he was afraid of speaking abruptly, so he asked his son to go out for an interview first, and he asked quietly: "What is the specific matter?" ”

Xiahou Yan stepped forward and whispered a few words to his father, Yu Shiji pondered for a moment and nodded slowly, "I know about this matter, let me think about it!" ”

Yu Shiji didn't refuse, just to give Yuwenshu a chance, and now it's up to Yuwenshu to show his own performance.

．．．．．．

Yang Qi only knew what happened last night from Chai Shao's mouth, he was immediately angry and annoyed, Yang Qi was a teenager after all, after cleaning up Yuwenshu fiercely, he no longer took this matter to heart, but he didn't expect Yuwenshu to take revenge on himself and use his own men to knife.

"Tell me, what the hell is going on, is it Jang Hyun murdering?"

"Back to His Royal Highness, it was very chaotic, they were on the other side of the corridor, we only knew that there was a death when we heard the screams, and we didn't know who killed it, but everyone thought that Luo Shixin should have injured someone by mistake."

"And what does he admit?" Yang Qi was a little unhappy.

"Maybe he didn't want to involve Luo Shixin, after all, Yuwen Taibao came to us, and Luo Shixin helped, and he invited him to drink last night."

"He would have been a good man, but he would have pushed the trouble on me!"

Yang Qi complained in a low voice, but complaining is complaining, Zhang Xuan is his Yang Qi's subordinate, and he is a person he values very much, how can he stand by and watch, he thought for a while and said: "I'll go into the palace to find the emperor's grandfather now." ”

Chai Shao was taken aback, and hurriedly said, "Your Highness, don't alarm the Holy Lord first, otherwise a small matter will become a big thing." ”

It makes sense for Yang Qi to think about it, he asked Chai Shao, "Then what do you think I should do?" ”

Chai Shao groaned and said: "His Royal Highness is a daughter, with a noble status, and he can't easily show his head for a little thing, but His Royal Highness can first express his attitude and show that he attaches importance to this matter, if Li Fujun can enforce the law impartially, he will release Zhang Xuan, and the matter will be resolved." ”

"What if Yu Wenshu refuses to let go of Zhang Xuan?"

Yang Qi's thinking is very clear, since Yuwen Zhiji is aimed at himself, then of course Yuwen Shu will not let Zhang Xuan go easily, otherwise what is the point of letting a Shandong officer confess to him.

"Your Royal Highness, Li Fujun is an upright and principled person, he will not succumb to Yuwenshu's pressure, if something really happens, I think as long as His Highness has expressed his attitude, Li Fujun will definitely tell His Highness the situation in time, the meaning of humility is that His Highness should not act lightly, you might as well see what tricks Yuwenshu has, and you must plan and then act."

Yang Qi nodded, Chai Shao's analysis was very reasonable, I didn't expect his thinking to be so organized, Yang Qi thought about it again and took out his gold medal and handed it to Chai Shao, "You take this gold medal to Li Gang, ask him to treat Zhang Xuan well and deal with it fairly, in addition, please ask the Chai guards to keep an eye on this matter for me, and report to me at any time if there is any situation!" ”

"Obey the order!"

．．．．．．．．

The official office of Henan Mansion was originally a deserted place, and the general ministers and magnates were reluctant to come to Henan Mansion, for fear of getting into trouble, but this morning was a bit unusual, Yu Wenshu visited in person, and Chai Shao took the gold medal of King Yan to put pressure on Li Gang.

Just as Li Gang had just sent Chai Shao away, Li Gang ushered in another important guest, Zhang Xutuo, the ambassador of the 12 counties of Qi County and Henan Province, Zhang Xutuo was about 50 years old, 6 feet 7 tall, with broad shoulders, a big head like a fight, a lion nose and a wide mouth, a pair of sharp eagle eyes, and he looked fierce and fierce, not angry and self-imposing.

Zhang Xutuo ranked sixth in the world's top ten, a ninety pound ** made a superb, he once led five pawns to defeat 10,000 people, and his prestige has already spread all over the world.

This time into Beijing, he came to explain the defeat of the coalition army against Zhang Chengjin, his army has not yet entered the battlefield, the four counties are too greedy for merit, but they fell into Zhang Chengjin's trick to lure the troops, tens of thousands of militia troops were annihilated, the government and the opposition were shocked, Yang Guang was extremely angry, and ordered a thorough investigation of the matter, but the four counties were too shou to bite back, saying that Zhang Xutuo's poor response led to the defeat.

In addition, Zhang Xutuo is upright, inflexible, and does not understand the way of officialdom, so that his popularity in the court is not very good, and his connections are insufficient.

How could the house leak and be rained overnight, last night his subordinates had an accident, Luo Shixin lost his guard and hurt people, and was in prison, Zhang Xutuo was angry and anxious, Luo Shixin was his beloved apprentice, like father and son, how could he see death and not save him.

In desperation, Zhang Xutuo had to beg Li Gang to forgive Luo Shixin with a thick old face.

"Li Fujun, I brought this local product from Shandong, please smile!"

At the foot of Zhang Xutuo are two jars of Qi County's famous pickles, he is going to use them to send civil and military officials, he doesn't bring much, the third-grade officials are ready to send two altars, and the low-grade officials can only send one altar.

Originally, Li Gang was no longer within the scope of his gift, but for the sake of loving Luo Shixin, he had to take out two jars to give to Li Gang.

Li Gang was stunned for a moment, shook his head decisively and said: "Zhang Tongshou is too polite, but I, Li Gang, never accept gifts, please take it back!" ”

Zhang Xuan Sutuo was a little embarrassed, but this was not his first embarrassment, the pickles he sent, none of the hundred officials in the court were willing to accept it, but the vast majority of people first accepted it and then sent someone to return it, all of them said that they received it, but the court has a system, and they can't accept gifts at will.

Touched a wedge again today, he was really unwilling, and said: "It's just a little pickle, a specialty of Qi County, there is no other meaning, Li Fujun, please accept it!" ”

Li Gang sighed and said: "If I don't accept gifts, I can handle them impartially, but if I accept gifts and handle them impartially, some people will say that I am corrupt and pervert the law, and it will become serious even if the case is not serious, does Zhang Dashuai understand what I mean?" ”

"Li Fujun, what is the case of Luo Shixin?"

"Please go inside and talk about it!"

Zhang Xutuo asked his subordinates to take away the two jars of pickles, and he followed Li Gang into the inner hall.

The two sat down in the inner hall, and Zhang Xutuo said with an anxious face: "I heard Qin Qiong say that it was originally Yuwen Taibao who provoked Yanwang's guards, and the two sides fought, but as a result, Shixin fought and killed a Yuwen Taibao by mistake, how serious is the problem?" ”

Li Gang smiled bitterly, "If you just kill a flat-headed small citizen and lose a sum of money, as long as the other party is willing to accept the withdrawal of the case, then basically nothing will happen, but it is Yuwen Taibao who is killed, Yuwen Shu's attitude is very tough, and he must investigate it to the end, I am afraid that he can only judge the public with justice." ”

"What about the public?" Zhang Xutuo asked uneasily.

Li Gang took a sip of tea and said unhurriedly: "This case is actually very simple, I have basically found out, Yuwen Taibao provoked first, drew the knife first, and tried to hurt people first, Luo Shixin should belong to the crime of negligent wounding, according to the law of the great cause of this dynasty, migrate three thousand miles, and allocate the army for ten years, if the criminal department can deal with it as appropriate, the time for the army can be reduced by a few more years." ”

Zhang Xutuo was in a heavy mood, he traveled three thousand miles and was equipped with the army for ten years, no matter how light the sentence was, Luo Shixin's life was over.

He sighed lowly, remembered something again, and hurriedly asked, "I heard Qin Qiong say that there is a guard of King Yan who also admits that he is the main culprit, what is the reason for this?" ”
