Chapter 66: The Li Family's Old Affairs
Hearing Liu Qingxin's question, Ling Jun understood that she didn't know much about judicial ownership.
He hooked his lips and smiled, took the letter from her hand, bowed his head, and carefully read the contents again.
After reading the contents of the letter, Ling Jun breathed a sigh of relief, picked up a white son from in front of him, and put it next to the black man representing the criminal department.
"The Qing Officials Division will not operate normally until the first lunar month."
"Right now, only the people on duty are there."
Ling Jun said as he grabbed a handful of sunspots, and in the empty space of the chessboard, he set up a small picture for Liu Qingxin, which could be used to illustrate the judicial system of the Ming Dynasty.
"Sanfa Division, have you always heard of it?"
In the previous life, Liu Qingxin was just a doctor, although he knew a little about the Ming Dynasty, it was limited to studying medicinal materials and prescriptions, and by the way, he glanced at it a few times.
The judicial system, which has little to do with medical skills, can be regarded as completely unconceptual.
"I always thought that arresting people would be under the control of Dongchang."
Liu Qingxin once saw in a volume of ancient recipes, and happened to see that Ming Chengzu Zhu Di, that is, Emperor Yongle, set up the East Factory to compete with Jinyiwei, and its main duty was to supervise officials and investigate important cases.
Among the thirteen departments of ancient medicine, Liu Qingxin did not like the family of Anyi.
Even now, she still insists on not touching the knife as much as possible, except for dredging and scraping bones.
Liu Qingxin's words made Ling Jun almost spray the tea he had just drunk into his mouth onto the chessboard.
"Don't listen to the nonsense of others."
"Those guys are only equivalent to secret guards, they can only be used to investigate and deal with some dirty things, and they can't be put on the surface."
Swallowing the tea in his mouth hard, Ling Jun raised his right hand and wiped the water at the corner of his mouth with his sleeve.
"The one in charge of justice is the Three Law Divisions."
"In addition to the criminal department you know, there are also Dali Temple and the Metropolitan Procuratorate."
"The Criminal Department has Shangshu as the chief, the left and right attendants as adjutants, and the thirteen Qing officials as subordinate officials, such as the Lang Zhong, the Wailang, and the Chief, who are in charge of the world's criminal names."
"I just told you that the Qing Officials Division is in charge of the punishment of that place according to the region to which they belong."
"The sister-in-law that Li Ming planned to abandon, Li Lanqi, served in the Criminal Department, and later, because the joints could not be opened, there was no hope of promotion, so he was transferred to the Military Department under the running of his half-brother, Li Jingde."
Know yourself and know your opponent, and you will not be defeated in a hundred battles.
The attention to his enemies, Deping Bofu and Ling Jun, is far better than that of other martial families.
He has tried many times to bury his eyeliner in the Depingbo Mansion.
However, Li Ming's old fox is far more cautious than others, or giving it away, or marrying, or beating him to death by family law, in short, the eyeliner that can always be sent to him is handled cleanly.
"I was able to arrange my brother's future by running."
"In this way, then Li Jingde should be in Yanjing, and he is doing well."
Liu Qingxin twisted his eyebrows slightly, opened the secret account manuscript, and read the pages about Depingbo's Mansion carefully.
From the hands of the head of the Jiangnan camp, among the people who have taken benefits, there is no one named Li Jingde.
Secretly saying "strange", Liu Qingxin slowly raised her head and looked at Ling Jun who was sitting opposite her.
Yu Li, the head of the Jiangnan camp, even Li Lanqi bribed, why, didn't he respect this person, who should be more prosperous than Li Lanqi?
"Li Jingde has been dead for a long time."
"It is rumored in the world that he had a gap with the previous commander of the Shenji Battalion, and was beaten to death for preventing him from robbing the people's daughters."
"When I was buried, none of my bones were intact."
Speaking of Li Jingde, Ling Jun couldn't help but smile.
It's just an abandoned son of Depingbo Li Ming, no matter how good his reputation is, he can't get his life back.
It's just that with a son's broken bones, but he didn't change to the position of the commander of the Shenji Battalion that he wanted, then Li Ming was afraid that he was going crazy at that time......
"Li Jingde was beaten to death by Li Ming using family law."
Gu Luochen threw the last candy into his mouth, and then, as it should be, put the empty porcelain bottle in front of Liu Qingxin.
"Woman, you're done eating."
He was used to eating the sweets and snacks that Liu Qingxin provided him for free, and he didn't let anyone go to Yanjing's dim sum workshop to buy him all kinds of pastries.
In this regard, the killers under his command are quite worried.
But he didn't care at all.
"Killed by family method?"
"Tsk, this Li Ming is really a ruthless person!"
"Such a promising son, he is really willing, if he says no, he doesn't want it!"
Liu Qingxin has long been accustomed to it, and Gu Luochen treats himself as an outsider.
She took the empty porcelain vase and threw it into the wooden box on the side of the couch.
There, there were already more than a dozen porcelain vases, exactly the same as the empty porcelain vase.
"Li Ming, that old fox, why did you want to kill Li Jingde?"
"It's just that you want to drag an opponent into the water, there's no need, spend such a big price?"
opened the cloth pocket on his waist, took out a new porcelain vase from it, and put it in front of Gu Luochen, Liu Qingxin pursed his lips and asked him.
"This kind of old news, don't you ask me for money?"
"How about I help you take care of Miss Yuyan for half a day?"
"Deal."
Pick up the porcelain vase and open it.
Gu Luochen chewed candy while agreeing to Liu Qingxin's proposal.
"It's because of Li Su."
"Li Jingde is the son of Li Mingping's wife Wang, and his mother's maid, instructed by him, to kill Li Su's aunt on Chinese New Year's Eve on the charge of stealing."
"Li Su was furious, cut down the maid and avenged his aunt."
"Then the Wang family felt that he had been insulted, so he stabbed the matter to Li Ming."
In terms of sources, how can Ling Jun compare to the Celestial Gate?
Gu Luochen lowered his head unhurriedly and ate the candy, letting the crumbs of the candy fall on the hem of his clothes, and he didn't care at all.
"After Li Ming let Li Su witness his aunt being eaten by wolves, he sent him to the Northeast Camp."
"Then Li Jingde was not convinced, he wanted to buy Li Ming's cronies, intercepted Li Su halfway, and was arrested by Li Ming, and then, Li Ming asked the family law and beat him to death."
As he said this, Gu Luochen had already eaten half a bottle of the newly arrived candy.
And he was still eating, and he had no intention of stopping.
"Listen to what you mean, Li Ming, you still care, Li Su's concubine?"
Ling Jun doesn't have enough sources.
Therefore, in his mind, Li Su, this concubine from Depingbo's mansion, is just a chess piece that can be discarded by Li Ming, and he needs to give him enough value in order for him to have the right to speak in Li Ming's place, so as to achieve his purpose of inviting Depingbo Li Ming into the urn.
But now, listening to Gu Luochen's meaning, it seems, this is not the case.
"Before Li Ming married his wife, he accepted the Xue family as a concubine."
"When Li Ming served in the Northwest Army, he was a lieutenant, and he could only bring a person without a military rank to serve, he didn't bring a guard, he brought the Xue family."
"Li Ming gave the Xue family a newly renovated courtyard."
"Since Xue's death, Li Ming has never had sex with any wife and concubine."
"Li Ming took Li Su to watch, after the wolves ate Xue's corpse, they slaughtered the wolves, picked up Xue's bones piece by piece, and sent them to Jiangnan.
"Li Mingzhu killed Li Jingde, the sister-in-law who premeditated to kill Li Su."
"Li Ming spent a lot of money to transfer Li Su, who was squeezed out by his son-in-law, from the Northeast camp to the Jiangnan camp."
"The son Li Ming wants to give up this time is Li Lanqi, the younger brother of Li Jingde's mother, if he dies, kill the master of the Xue family's maid, the Wang family, under his knees, there will be no more sons to rely on, according to the Li family rules, the wife who has no children or sons who have lost their virtue has no right to enter the family tree, bury the ancestral grave, and enjoy the incense of the descendants."
"Li Ming has proposed a family report, if you want to befriend Li Su and you, you need to have an identity as a sister-in-law, so that you can stabilize your heart and do your best for the family, raise the identity of the Xue family, make her promoted to a flat wife, and enter the ancestral grave of the Li family with a well-dressed tomb."
Gu Luochen was chatting like a small talk, eating candy while saying a bunch of secrets of the Depingbo Mansion.
He didn't say that he needed to pay extra for these things he said, but Ling Jun knew that any one of these messages would be worth a lot of money if he was put on the market to buy.
Of course, the most important thing is that these news are of great significance to him and Liu Qingxin, who are now in need of making a decision.
"In that case, we need to change our plans a little bit."
Ling Jun pondered for a moment, raised his head, and looked at Liu Qingxin.
He didn't thank Gu Luochen.
He knew that these timely news, which gave him and Liu Qingxin a shortcut, was not a simple word "thanks" that could be repaid.
What Gu Luochen wants is that Cheng Xiangqian's family will not die well.
The only thing he can use to repay Gu Luochen is to let Cheng Xiangqian's family, damn it, die tricks, don't deserve it, it's better to live than to die.
"So, something has to be changed."
Liu Qingxin nodded lightly and agreed with Ling Jun's statement.
"Luochen, in these messages, there is also, about Depingbo Mansion?"
Seeing that Gu Luochen's candy was almost finished, Liu Qingxin hurriedly opened the purse around his waist, took out all the porcelain bottles inside, and placed them in front of him.
Gu Luochen opened the leather pocket on his waist without saying a word, put the porcelain bottles into them one by one, and then stretched out his right index finger and pointed to two of the remaining four envelopes.
Today, he said too much.
This is a miracle for him, who is a man of few words.
Now, he just wants to rest, and he doesn't want to say a word.
Seeing that Gu Luochen didn't want to speak, Liu Qingxin didn't force him, but only opened the two letters that were said to be related to Depingbo's Mansion according to what he pointed out.
In the previous letter, I talked about what happened in the Chengguo Mansion.
The daughter of Deping Bofu, Li Yuanru, committed suicide after it was revealed that she had murdered the heirs of the Chengguo Mansion.
His husband, Zhu Shize, after her death, colluded with her dowry maid Shuangque'er and blamed her death on Zhu Shitong's wife, Zhang, who was born in the British government.
Chengguo Gong ordered the door of the mansion to be closed, and no one was allowed to enter or leave the Chengguo Mansion in order to thoroughly investigate the matter.
And that night, Li Yuanru's dowry maid, Shuangque'er, was accepted by Zhu Xizhong and became Zhu Xizhong's seventeenth concubine.
In the latter letter, he talked about Li Ming's eldest son, the commander of the Northeast Battalion, Li Liangyu.
Hearing that Li Su was expected to be favored, he secretly sent his cronies to the veteran killer sect whose reputation was second only to that of the Heavenly Gate, and ordered them to make trouble for Li Su and prevent him from having "too much friendship" with Ling Jun.
On the other hand, he sent his cronies straight to Ningxia to purchase good horses, and claimed that if there was sweat and blood, the price could be ignored.
"It seems that we have to consider buying the courtyard next door to the palace."
"Otherwise, there should be no place left in the yard."
Ling Jun is a good horse.
This is no secret in Yanjing.
But at this time, Liu Qingxin used horses to "squeeze" him, the purpose was not just to remind him that it was time to expand the yard.
"People, you have to have some preferences, don't you?"
"Otherwise, how can I let others think that I have flaws!"
Zhiliu is blaming himself for not knowing how to converge, and he will easily expose his true preferences to others.
Ling Jun was a little weak-hearted, stretched out his right hand, and scratched his cheek.
He wanted to quibble.
But the moment his eyes met Liu Qingxin's eyes, he simply gave up resistance.
They are all thousand-year-old foxes, who doesn't know who, how many twists and turns?
Pretending to be a ghost and being able to fool the past, or pretending to be crazy and stupid and being foolish?
To be a man, you can't be so ruthless, so ruthless that you even deceive yourself!
"Ahem, that ......"
"In the future, I will try to be as restrained as possible."
"Try to be as restrained as possible."
Coughing lightly, to hide the embarrassment of being seen through, Ling Jun leaned forward flatteringly, "Lady, you see, the matter has come to this, I want to change it, but it's too late, or ......"
"Let Depingbo's Mansion, even the money for the expansion of the house also come out!"
"Anyway, his family has money!"
After staring at Ling Jun's pitiful appearance for a long time, Liu Qingxin finally couldn't help it, and laughed out loud.
At the beginning of her fight, she only planned to mention Lingjun, so that he would be cautious in his words and deeds in the future, be more wary of people, and not show his true preferences to others easily, and she did not mean to blame him.
It was his own weak heart, thinking that she was really angry, and he needed him to coax him to please him.
She was happy to see the excitement, so she naturally had to hold back her laughter and not break the misunderstanding.
But this thing is lively, take a look, it's just that, after seeing it, the days still have to be good.
What should be calculated, what should be planned, what should be pondered, the same, should not be less.
"Look at Li Liangyu's approach, Yanjing's side, I'm afraid there are already a lot of people who are about to fight to buy good horses."
"Why don't we cash out, take those few good horses that you have stored in the mansion, which are not famous, so that no one knows your subordinates, send them to the horse market, and circle them for a wave of money?"
Liu Qingxin rolled his eyes.
Then, he looked at Ling Jun with a wicked smile and told him about his plan to "make money".
"They simply bought horses to curry favor with you, and when the day of our wedding is set, they should rush to send you back."
"Why don't you fulfill their 'filial piety' and let them spend a lot of money to invite those horses back and offer them for a few days like ancestors?"
