"County order, what should we do now?"

Wang County Lieutenant wiped the sweat on his forehead, Yang Zhao at this time was like a defeated rooster, his face was full of frustration, his mouth was trembling, and he couldn't say a word, after a while, he stomped his feet and said, "Go back first!" ”

Yang Zhao returned to the county office, the door of the fang had been closed, because they were on official business, they called to open the door of the fang, and went back to the county government to rest for a night.

Early the next morning, a government official rushed to report that the Yangzhou thief was being held in the Dongneiyuan military camp, and Li Qingan did not move.

At this time, Yang Zhao's staff Ling Hufei also rushed to hear the news, and as soon as Yang Zhao saw him, he hurriedly pulled him into the inner room.

"Sir, last night...."

Without waiting for him to finish speaking, Ling Hufei smiled and said: "Yang County Order doesn't need to say more, I already know, I just want to ask Yang County Order, why do you want to endure this breath?" ”

Yang Zhao said hatefully: "If it weren't for King Qing's private entrustment, I would have been involved in him a long time ago." ”

"The problem is here, does Yang County Ling think that the matter entrusted to you by King Qing is really as simple as catching a thief?"

Yang Zhao was stunned, "What do you mean by this?" ”

"It's very simple, yesterday Wannian County, Chang'an County, and Jin Wuwei were all entrusted by King Qing, but the reasons are different, one is a Jiangyang thief, one is a flower thief, and the other is a human trafficker, but the targets are all Yangzhou people, Yang County Ling has thought about why?"

Yang Zhao sighed for a while and said, "Could it be that King Qing didn't tell the truth?" ”

"Not bad! That's right, if I guessed correctly, it was definitely not a theft in Yangzhou's house, there should be another hidden story, King Qing did not tell the truth to the county order. ”

"What could that be?" Yang Zhao's brows furrowed.

Ling Hufei walked a few steps with his hands behind his back, and said with a slight smile: "Yang County Ling is from the imperial history, isn't there any news at all?" ”

Yang Zhao suddenly woke up, "Yes! ”

He hurriedly said to Linghu Fei: "I heard some time ago that the Jianghuai transfer envoy and the Yangzhou assassin impeached each other for secretly releasing salt owls, could it be this matter?" ”

Ling Hufei asked again, "Do you know the specific details?" ”

Yang Zhao shook his head and said: "This matter is very secret, only the Imperial History Zhongcheng and Xiangguo know the specific details, I heard about it from the Imperial History Han Wei, and he is not very clear." ”

Ling Hufei pondered for a moment, and then said: "I estimate that this matter is extraordinary, it is very likely to involve King Qing's **, Li Qingan snatched this matter away, I think it is a blessing or a curse for Yang County." ”

Yang Zhao suddenly realized, and he hurriedly asked, "Then what should I do now?" ”

"I thought that Yang County Ling had to do two things, the first was not to meddle in this matter, push it directly to King Qing, and let him solve it himself."

Yang Zhao nodded, "I will immediately go to tell King Zhiqing and let him solve it by himself, so what is the second thing?" ”

"The second thing is that Yang County Decree should make political achievements as soon as possible, so that the emperor can find an excuse to promote you."

Yang Zhao frowned, "This political achievement is not something that can be found, it needs time." ”

Ling Hufei squinted and smiled, "County order, many things are man-made. ”

．．．．．．．．

In the Dongneiyuan barracks, Li Qing'an walked around the big tent with his hands behind his back, and in his package Su Yuankai, he found a booklet, which recorded in detail the fact that King Qing was involved in trafficking in illicit salt in Yangzhou, and it was the pleadings of the salt lord Du Bosheng who was preparing to appeal to the imperial court.

Although he vaguely guessed that this matter would not be simple, he did not expect that King Qing would sell illicit salt, and the amount was huge, this matter made him a little embarrassed, although this matter was Li Linfu's explanation, but he didn't want to offend King Qing because of this.

At this time, Lifei Shouyu hurriedly walked in with a blue cloth package and said with a smile: "General, it's done." ”

Li Qingan was overjoyed, and hurriedly said, "Quickly show it to me." ”

Li Fei Shouyu opened the blue cloth baggage, and there were three identical booklets inside, and he smiled: "I found an honorary writer in the Diaojia Printing Shop in Dongshi, and he made two sub-volumes, which are enough to confuse the real with the fake." ”

Li Qingan spread out the three booklets, and sure enough, they were all the same, and he couldn't even tell which one was the real Du Bosheng's pleadings, "Okay!" Well done. ”

Li Qingan nodded again and again, and he asked again, "Have you paid attention to this copyist?" ”

"General rest assured, I have always been by his side, after the book was copied, I sent someone to send him to Fengxiang's relative's house, and within a month, he will not return to Chang'an."

Seeing that Li Fei Shouyu was doing things without leaking, Li Qingan patted him on the shoulder and said with a smile: "You go to Dali Temple and transfer the prisoner to Ji Shaoqing of Dali Temple, this case will be considered a business matter." ”

Li Fei Shouyu asked, "General, what about these books?" Do you want to get a copy too? ”

"No!"

Li Qingan smiled, "These documents are handled by me personally and cannot be made public." ”

He put the booklet away and smiled again, "You go first!" I'm going to meet an important guest later. ”

Li Fei Shouyu agreed, and escorted the prisoner out of the East Inner Garden.

．．．．．．．

Not long after Li Fei Shouyu left, a sergeant rushed in to report: "General, the son of King Qing has something urgent to see the general." ”

Li Qingan smiled: "Invite him in!" ”

After a while, Li Li walked in in hurriedly, and Lao Yuan arched his hand and said, "General Li, I'm sorry for the morning." ”

"The little prince is polite, please come in quickly."

Li Qing'an invited Li Li into the camp tent, and ordered the soldiers to pour a cup of tea, Li Li was anxious, and hurriedly said: "Is the Yangzhou thief that General Li caught in Dongshi last night still there?" ”

Li Qingan was stunned, "I sent someone to Dali Temple early in the morning, what's the matter, is this thief related to His Royal Highness King Qing?" ”

"Oops!" Li Li slapped his thigh hard, but he was still a step too late.

"General Li, this thief has my father's letter in his hand!"

"Ahh Li Qing'an's Teng! He stood up, "Qing'an doesn't know, I'll send someone to Dali Temple to get the prisoner back, come here!" ”

Two soldiers immediately came in, "General, please command!" ”

"Nope! I'll go and ask for it myself, and I'll get a horse. ”

Li Li hurriedly stopped him and said: "General Li's intentions, I understand it in my heart, since I went to Dali Temple, I have my own way, so I won't work for General Li." ”

Speaking of this, he hesitated and asked, "I wonder if the documents that the thief carried with him were also sent to Dali Temple?" ”

"That's not yet, I'm going to go directly to Xiangguo."

Li Qingan took out a coarse cloth printed package from the cabinet and said with a smile: "This is the belongings of the prisoner." ”

He opened the package, only to see that there were some scattered copper coins and a few ingots of silver, as well as a piece of clothes that he had washed and changed with him, Li Li saw a booklet in the middle of the clothes at a glance, and his heart suddenly jumped wildly, the thing was still there!

Li Qingan took out the booklet from the middle and said with a smile: "It's this document, it's still sealed, I don't dare to open it privately, and I'm going to submit it to Xiangguo." ”

"General Li, can you give me this document?"

"This ......" Li Qingan looked embarrassed and said: "The little prince also knows that if someone confesses, but he can't get this booklet, I'm afraid it will be difficult for me to justify myself." ”

Li Li hurriedly bowed deeply, "General Li, this matter is very important, if General Li gives it to me, my father will remember it in his heart, and he will definitely thank General Li again." ”

Li Qing'an pondered for a moment, then sighed and said, "How can I refuse King Qing's invitation, so be it!" I can drag it out, I'll give you this book, but you have to return it to me in the afternoon, as long as the appearance is the same, as for the content, the little prince will look at it himself! ”

Li Li was overjoyed, "I will definitely return it in the afternoon!" ”

He took the pleadings with great gratitude, only to see that it was completely sealed, and Du Bosheng's autograph seal was also on the seal, indicating that no one had opened it, and the prisoner might not know the details inside.

He glanced at Li Qingan, saw that he was smiling sincerely, and couldn't help nodding secretly in his heart, this Li Qingan is very sleek, but not bad.

．．．．．．．．

Li Qing'an's patrol camp was under the direct jurisdiction of Li Linfu, and in the afternoon, after Li Li sent back the documents, he rushed to the Daming Palace.

Although Li Longji has moved to Xingqing Palace, the core institutions of the Tang Dynasty such as Zhongshu Province and Menxia Province are still in the Daming Palace.

The Zhongshu Province that Li Qing'an is going to is located on the right side of the Xuanzheng Palace, it is a huge building, with a high step with Yulin Army standing guard, surrounded by a white jade corridor, the light inside is dim, the momentum is solemn, Li Qing'an waited for a moment under the steps.

A scribe from Zhongshu Province ran out, "General Li, Xiangguo is invited!" ”

Li Qing'an walked up the steps quickly, stepped into the highest administrative body of the Tang Dynasty, the hall of Zhongshu Province is open and towering, magnificent, with a central axis throughout, the left and right distribution of various parts of Zhongshu Province, the housekeeper room, the waiter's room, the library, the storage library, etc., and in the middle is the famous 'Zhongshu Gate', that is, the place where the Xiangguo held a meeting to decide on military affairs, and the five rooms of the officials' room, the machine room, the soldier's room, the household room, and the torture room were behind.

Li Linfu's court room is located on the left, of course, Li Linfu's court room is not only this one, he is the secretary of the ministry, he also has a court room in the ministry, and even in Qiuzi's Anxi Dadu Protectorate, Shuofang Jiedu Embassy and other places, he also has an office that symbolizes the surname.

The scribe went in to report, and came out in a moment and said, "General Li, the prime minister is invited." ”

Li Qing'an walked into Li Linfu's court room, the court room is divided into two rooms, the outer room is the clerical room, all kinds of files and documents are piled up, four or five scribes are busy behind the file, and in the other corner, five Chinese scholars are holding a meeting to consider the proposed purpose, seeing Li Qing'an come in, they all smiled and nodded to him, the inner room is Li Linfu's official court room, but there are two side rooms next to it, one is the conference room, the other is Li Linfu's lounge, sometimes all night work, can not go back to the house, he sleeps in the courtroom.

At this time, it was the afternoon, there was still half an hour before the next dynasty, Li Linfu was busy, seeing that it was coming to the New Year, the imperial court would have to rest for several days in a row, and then a large number of affairs would come at the same time, and the foreign countries would come to the court, the imperial examination, the martial arts, the spring ploughing, the degree of support and other cumbersome things, so they should be dealt with in advance before the holiday.

Li Qing'an took two steps forward, half-knelt down and saluted: "The inspection makes Li Qing'an see Xiangguo." ”

Li Linfu was reviewing the martial arts plan, and when he saw Li Qingan coming in, he put down his pen and said with a smile: "Qilang, I'm thinking about you?" You're here. ”

"Is there something wrong with Sangkook looking for me?"

Li Linfu pointed to the music in his hand and said with a smile: "After the New Year, the martial arts will be held immediately, the martial arts is a test of riding and archery, generally a three-stone bow on foot, and a two-stone bow on horseback, which can be regarded as qualified, but you can open a seven-stone big bow, this is the first one you belong to, I was thinking, why don't you participate in the martial arts and make a name for yourself?" ”

"My subordinates entered Beijing in a hurry, and I didn't have time to think about it."

Li Linfu smiled and said: "I'm just talking, you are now a Zhonglang general, and there is no point in taking the martial arts examination, this is generally the step of the promotion of the soldiers of the Central Plains, they are not like you, they have the opportunity to fight and make meritorious contributions, and they can only rely on martial arts to become officials." ”

After speaking, Li Linfu put down the fold and said, "I heard that early this morning, you sent the prisoner to Dali Temple?" ”

"The subordinates are here to report this matter to Xiangguo."

"Good! Come to my conference room and speak. ”

Li Qingan followed Li Linfu into the conference room, Li Linfu sat down on a couch, waved his hand and said, "Say it!" ”

Li Qing'an explained in detail what happened in the past two days, and finally took out a copy of the pleadings and presented it to Li Linfu and said: "My subordinates rushed to make a copy, and the copy was handed over to King Qing's son, which is the original and is specially presented to Xiangguo." ”

Li Linfu smiled, took the pleadings and flipped through a few pages, then put it down and asked, "Are you afraid of offending King Qing?" ”

"Yes, my subordinates don't want to offend King Qing."

"But if I show this pleadings to King Qing, won't you be exposed immediately?"

Li Linfu stared at Li Qing'an with a slightly cold gaze, waiting for his answer.

"My subordinates thought that Xiangguo would not give it to King Qing."

"Why?"

"Because the subordinate is not Yang Shenjin."

The corners of Li Linfu's mouth slowly showed a smile, the more he laughed, the happier he became, and finally raised his head and laughed, "Okay!" Well said, there is no shame in your heart, why hide it in your own selfishness? ”

Li Linfu stood up and patted him on the shoulder, "Qilang, your openness and honesty have made the old man deeply gratified, and you have handled this matter very well." ”

"However, the subordinates offended the Yang County Order."

"Him!" Li Linfu smiled disdainfully and said: "That person only has interests in his eyes, as long as you have his interests, even if you have deep hatred, he will forget them all." ”

"The subordinates understand, then this matter ......"

Li Linfu smiled and waved his hand: "This matter will come to an end for the time being, you go back and have a good rest, it will be the New Year in a few days, remember to come to my house on Chinese New Year's Eve to drink a glass of water and wine." ”

"The subordinates will definitely arrive, and the subordinates will leave first."

"Go ahead!"

Li Qing'an slowly retreated, Li Linfu was the only one in the conference room, he opened the pleadings and looked at them again, couldn't help but smile faintly, walked to the incense burner in the corner of the room, and threw the pleadings into it casually, and in a moment, the pleadings were ignited, and the more they burned, the more they burned, and the blazing fire reflected Li Linfu's huge nose.
