Chapter 173 Release people

Li Yan said that it came in handy, but he didn't just say it, he already had a plan in his heart.

Early the next morning, he explained a few words to Wei Ziqi, and told Wei Luan again, but he didn't bring his brothers and sisters, only Zhao Ying and a few personal servants, and went to the direction of the mansion.

Since the rumors spread in Huzhou City, Li Yan has not been to the government for many days.

Originally, he took over Sun Chang's case, he should be diligent, although he would not go to the government office every day to interrogate, but he could not disappear for several days in a row, even if he was a king, he did not carry it here.

That case has been dragged on again and again in Du Qiya's hands, and now that it has been transferred to him, is it possible that it will drag on for another three or five months?

It's just that he didn't go, where did Du Qiya dare to ask, and he really didn't have a good time throwing this hot potato out, there was no reason to take the trouble on himself, naturally Li Yan wanted to do whatever he wanted, he would do whatever he wanted, and he wouldn't even ask half a word.

At this time, the official came in and replied to his words, saying that His Royal Highness the King of Qi had brought people to the palace, and he was about to arrive at a hall, and told him to hurry up to the front to meet him.

Du Qiya was taken aback, and he was afraid that Li Yan would care about his neglect this time.

He can't say why, he has obviously never offended this highness, but this highness always holds him, these days he is in Huzhou, every time something happens, he has to blame the head of the prefect, just like yesterday Diao people gathered people to besiege the inn, this is indeed under his rule, but he did not instigate the people to do this, why did he enter the inn, to make Li Yan count and embarrassed?

If it was for Sun Chang's murder, but even if he received the money, he didn't immediately decide the case, this delay of a few months, Sun Chang's head is still on his neck now, at least to save his life for the time being, right?

To say that you have received money and accepted bribes...... Li Yan is a child who grew up in the palace, since he was a child, it is impossible that he has not seen such a dirty thing, and he can not be clear about these darkness in the officialdom? Why do you bite yourself and don't let go?

Du Qiya went to the other end of the hall to greet Li Yan, and on the other hand, he went through these thoughts in his heart countless times, and he couldn't figure out what Li Yan was for.

Until he saw Li Yan and respectfully bowed to the official, Li Yan did not ask him again, so Du Qiya was even more worried.

When he saw Li Li, he stood up, took a peek and took a look, and found that Li Yan's face was as usual, not like the previous few times he saw him, he always had a straight face, but now it looks like ...... It's not bad.

It was because he originally planned to open his mouth to explain a few words, but there have been a lot of things in the yamen in recent days, and he didn't mean to snub Li Yan, so he simply shut up and simply didn't say anything.

Li Yan didn't mention it, he went out and said in a dignified way, he didn't have to send a handle to Li Yan again, that was to find himself unhappy.

"Du Zhifu, are the people who were arrested last time still in the prison of your mansion?"

Li Yan opened his mouth, Du Qiya didn't think much about it, and replied straight back, and when he finished talking, he thought about it, Li Yan would never ask for no reason, so he asked, obviously he came here for these people today, so he added two more sentences: "Xiaguan also passed the hall, except for the words asked before, the rest can't ask anything, and His Royal Highness has explained that he is not allowed to be punished, and Xiaguan has always remembered that until today, they have not spit out anything again." ”

It's normal for them to not be able to spit out something in their mouths.

A few ordinary people who were arrested, and then he also asked Zhao Falcon to investigate again, they are indeed homeless people in this Huzhou city, homeless on weekdays, and they have been begging outside for many years, not to mention how honest they are, at least they are authentic Huzhou people.

So this kind of thing happened this time, all in response to the sentence that money can make ghosts grind, and these people are just that person's money, not that they have any harmful intentions, although it is still unforgivable, but Li Yan will not have to deal with a few ordinary people to this point.

This is why, from the very beginning, he confessed to Du Qiya that he was not allowed to be punished.

At the moment, Du Qiya has said a few times, and he can't ask anything, Li Yan is not surprised at all, but behaves lightly.

Du Qiya pursed his lips slightly: "Is Your Highness going to have another class in person?" ”

"Nope." He didn't hesitate and directly rejected Du Qiya's sentence.

Li Yan rested one hand on the startling wood, and tapped it again and again: "Du Zhifu, let people go." ”

He said a word lightly, and his voice was light, all the way from the hall to the bottom of the hall.

Du Qiya stood there, frowning, thinking that he had misheard.

Put...... Person?

These people maliciously slandered, not only the reputation of His Royal Highness the King of Qi, but more importantly, wasn't it that Wei Luan?

He had heard a lot of rumors about Li Yan and Wei Luan, and he thought that Li Yan might not do anything foolish under his anger, even if he didn't want those people's lives, he had to peel off a layer of their skin.

But what about Li Yan?

He didn't go to the government office for a few days, and he didn't mention anyone to come to the court for interrogation, but today he suddenly came to the government office, and he didn't say a few words, and asked him to release him.

Du Qiya hesitated for a moment, and subconsciously took a small step back: "Your Highness said...... Release? ”

"What? What's wrong with Du Zhifu? Li Yan raised his eyebrows and looked down, and sat up straight, "Didn't these people say that they had received people's money before, two taels a day, and spread rumors around the city?" Several days have passed, and they have not gone to the outskirts of the city to break the temple again, and the matter of arresting people has also become a fuss. Governor Du, have you ever sent someone to the outskirts of the city to guard the broken temple? ”

"This ...... The people were sent, but they waited outside the broken temple for two days, and they didn't see anyone, and then the lower officials interrogated them again, thinking they were lying......"

"It's not that they're lying." Li Yan snorted, his expression was no longer as indifferent as when he came, and his face was shrouded in a layer of gloom, "The people, it is the people under your rule, they have been arrested and arrested in your prefect's yamen, and they have been closed for a few days, whether they dare to lie or not, Du Zhifu, you should know in your heart." But they didn't lie, and no one ever went to the broken temple again, so what's the problem? ”

Du Qiya understood.

He took a deep breath: "Your Highness's meaning, Your Highness understands." And the one who gave them the money had arranged eyeliner in the city. So on the day they were captured, the man had already gotten the news, and naturally he wouldn't reappear after that. ”

Li Yan stared at him with a smile and looked at him for a long time before he was relieved: "Just assume that what Governor Du said is right, it is a 'spy' in this city." ”

Du Qiya sighed in his heart: "Your Highness, the lower officials don't understand." ”

"Don't you really understand?" Li Yan raised his voice and turned to Zhao Falcon, "Why don't you talk to Governor Du?" ”

Zhao Ying bowed down and said, "The prefect may not know that we are arresting people, and we are acting in secret. Earlier, His Royal Highness ordered us to come down and ask us to check, our people, squatting in the city for many days, only to find the heads of these people, and then I was afraid of startling the grass and snakes, and the arrest was silent, without alarming anyone, and after that, I returned to the inn and returned to His Royal Highness, His Highness explained that he sent people to the prefect's yamen to be detained, and it was not good for us to detain them ourselves, and this way to the prefect's yamen, it was quiet, and there was no rope to tie them up, and there was no one to escort them all the way, yes, this person entered the prison of the prefect's yamen, Even if people outside have the ability to reach the sky, they should not know. ”

"Your Highness, this" Du Qiya's pupils dilated, and that deep sense of fear suddenly came to his heart.

He underestimated Li Yan.

The person in front of him seems to be noble, but he is only a teenager, Rao grew up in Beijing, he is well-informed, but how deep are the means?

Du Qiya watched him busy these days, but none of the things could be solved, so he just thought that he had the courage and no strategy, and he had no city.

But today, Li Yan is obviously prepared.

Zhao Falcon's words clearly meant something.

Why hasn't the black hand behind the scenes ever reappeared? It is nothing more than knowing the situation in the city and knowing that these people have been arrested.

These ordinary people will not bite to death and not let go, in order to make themselves better, when they are caught, they will explain the matter one by one, and the prefect's yamen will definitely send someone to the broken temple to guard, even if he doesn't go, Li Yan will also send someone, as long as the people under the mastermind behind the scenes still dare to show up, it is indispensable to call for arrest, so that person has never appeared again.

And Li Yan laid out the game from the beginning.

No wonder......

Du Qiya's expression straightened, and he didn't see the previous nervousness and panic: "No wonder Your Highness has been in recent days, every time you see the lower officials, there are always a lot of reproaches, it turns out that from the very beginning, Your Highness suspected that it was the lower officials' who had a 'traitor' in the palace, and sent such news out of the city and to the people behind the scenes, so the man who gave them silver later never appeared again." And although His Royal Highness never instructed the lower officials, he also sent people to guard outside the broken temple, waiting to take people, and after several days of pounced in the air, he became more and more firm in this cognition.

He dragged out the last note, raised his eyes, and looked at Li Yan: "In the heart of His Highness, he even doubted the lower officials, right?" ”

"Du Zhifu was born as a Jinshi, and his previous resume was also very noble." Li Yan's eyes fell on him, without a trace of hesitation and wavering, "For so many years, Governor Du has been blessed with the emperor's grace, so he naturally knows the four words of Entubao. The book of saints, if you read it all over the belly, you will not end up being an ungrateful person, and you can't be a bastard who disregards the courtesy of kings and ministers. That being the case, I naturally don't doubt Governor Du. ”

He said so, but the distrust in his eyes was clear.

He clearly did it on purpose.

Du Qiya was angry for a while.

Li Yan acted so deeply in the city that he couldn't even hide his distrust, and he could see it clearly, so it could only be shown to him by Li Yan on purpose.

"If Your Highness doesn't believe in your ......"

"I said, I'm from the prefect of Xindu."

The person standing in the hall seemed to want to show his loyalty, but as soon as Li Yan waved his hand, he immediately interrupted what he wanted to say later, and he didn't even give him this opportunity.

"It's just Master Du, speaking of which, there are ten problems, and it is in your prefect's yamen." Li Yan was solemn and lost his smile, "Remember what I said yesterday?" ”

Yesterday, Du Qiya squinted, remembering the words that Li Yan said yesterday that he had no way to rule.

It turns out that it is one thing to charge him with a crime, and it is another thing to have something to say.

He has been in the Huzhou prefect for so many years, and Huzhou may not have been a mess by him, but there was a traitor in his prefect's yamen, and if he reported to others like this, it must be that he, the prefect, has no way to find out, and he really found out someone, and he is indispensable to take some responsibility.

Du Qiya's heart sank: "Your Highness's words yesterday, the lower officials have not forgotten, and the lower officials do not know ......" He closed his eyes, and the words behind him could not be spoken.

Ignorance? I don't know now, but it sounds more like shirking responsibility.

He knelt down with a black face, and didn't say anything to shirk anymore, but just kowtowed and pleaded guilty: "It's the lower officials who have no way to do it, and the people under his hands have such a thing, and if they make such a mistake, the lower officials will be guilty." ”

"Confession?" Li Yan waved his hand, as if he had heard some joke, "You can get up and talk quickly." Is it your fault? Did you instigate people to do this? Since it has nothing to do with you, what sin do you have? I was angry and angry about this whole thing, and I did think about it at the beginning, I wanted to send a letter to the capital, telling the imperial brother that at this time, I first investigated and dealt with you, the prefect, and I was angry, but I calmed down, and I thought about it in retrospect, over the years, the Du prefect has governed Huzhou in an orderly manner, and for such a trumped-up charge, I took a good prefect like you, and my sin is great. ”

Regardless of whether he is sincere or hypocritically polite, in short, if he says something like this, that is, in the future, he will not use this matter to settle old accounts.

Du Qiya's heart fell back into his stomach, but he still knelt and didn't get up: "Your Highness doesn't pursue it, you don't care, it's Your Highness's magnanimity, but the lower officials are really uneasy." Originally, a case between the Sun family and the Chen family required His Royal Highness to work hard, and the lower officials had no place to be ashamed, and then these things happened, which damaged His Royal Highness's reputation, and now there are so-called traitors...... "He paused, and lowered his head more and more, "It's just that the lower officials still don't understand, at this time, does His Royal Highness have any plans?" ”

"I can't ask someone for something, I wanted to hang it, but now it seems that it can't be done, it can't be done, I just let people out, and they are always locked up in your prefect's yamen, and people don't commit any crimes of beheading, and they don't talk like words." The corners of Li Yan's mouth rose faintly, and even his tone became obscure, "But Governor Du, this time you can send someone to keep an eye on it, you Huzhou City, if there is another murder, I'm afraid it will be difficult for you to explain it to the imperial court." ”
