Chapter Seventy-Three: A Play Within a Play (For the Book Friend Pope's Oath, nsunsu Addition)
Li You and his entourage pushed aside everyone and walked to the forefront of the onlookers. When Wang Lang saw Li You and the others, he immediately signaled the soldiers to give way to a passage.
"Lord Thorn Shi! Temperance makes your lord! Li You deliberately called the two of them their official positions, the purpose was naturally to let the surrounding people be a witness and pull Wang Lang and Zhao Mingwei into the water.
"Master Li!" Wang Lang frowned, but it was not good to attack on the spot. "Lord Zhao, this is the county magistrate of Shengtang County, Lord Li You who has just been praised by the emperor."
When Zhao Mingwei heard that it was a county order, he originally looked contemptuous, but after hearing the second half of the sentence, he immediately showed a sudden expression. "Is it the Li County Commander who clearly decided Mr. Wei Zhuang's case?"
"Not bad!"
"Haha, sure enough, the hero is a teenager." Zhao Mingwei just got off the horse, and came close in three steps and two steps. "Lord Li is a member of the royal family, and he has made such a great contribution, I heard that Lord Wen Zhang (a historical figure, a rare Qing official in the late Tang Dynasty) Lord Wen has submitted a transcript to ensure that Lord Li is promoted to the rank of assassin (Zheng Sipinguan)."
"Oh?" Wang Lang should have heard it for the first time, and he naturally felt very uncomfortable, after all, Li You was only in his twenties, and he was over fifty years old before becoming a assassin. "It's a little too fast..."
Zhao Mingwei glared at Wang Lang, and Wang Lang hurriedly stopped talking. "Lord Wen is quite highly regarded by the emperor, and this matter should not be wrong. It's just that I don't know when Lord Li became friends with Lord Wen so far? ā
Zhao Mingwei looked at Li You meaningfully, and Li You didn't know how to answer for a while, because Li You had never seen Wen Zhang, let alone heard that he was going to be promoted. However, today I have to rely on Zhao Mingwei a lot, if I admit that I don't know Wen Zhang, I will definitely incur Zhao Mingwen's annoyance, after all, at the moment when ** is becoming a trend, no one will help others for no reason, let alone the assassination history of any party (equivalent to the top leader of the province).
So, Li You first turned his head to look left and right, and then looked at Zhao Mingwei. "Master Wen and my father..."Li You said no more than halfway through his words.
"Oh, I see." Zhao Mingwei thought that Li You was worried about being heard by the people around him, so he immediately showed a knowing smile.
"Lord Wang, Lord Zhao, now that the human and physical evidence are there, shouldn't we have a good trial of Yao Buwei's case of selling illicit salt?" After the entertainment, Li You was worried that the two would delve into Wen Zhang's matter, so he hurriedly brought the topic back to his eyes.
"Who is Yao Buwei?" Wang Lang asked knowingly.
"It's the grass people."
At this time, the door of the dock management office opened, and Ling Hu and his party walked out.
The confrontation between the two sides is finally about to begin.
ā¦ā¦ā¦
Ling Hu and Zhou Fu walked in the front, followed by Yao Buwei, Sha Quan, Ji Liang and others. Because he was suspected of murder, Wuwen Wuwen had been avoiding Li You, and naturally he didn't dare to show his face at this time.
"Linghu Gongzi?" Zhao Mingwei immediately recognized Ling Huxuan.
Ling Hu Xuan once entered the prime minister (did the prime minister, the prime minister of the Tang Dynasty was a group of people), and his son Ling Hu Xuan used the power of Ling Hu Xuan to control the ministry and sell the official beard, so that the world only knew that there was a Ling Hu Xuan, but did not know that there was a ministry, so that Ling Hu Xuan had the title of "Prime Minister of Cloth".
"Lord Zhao! Lord Wang! "Ling Hu Zhu salutes Zhao Mingwei and Wang Lang." This is Yangzhou Yanyu Zhou Fu, Lord Zhou! ā
"Lord Zhou!" "Two adults!"
"This is Li You, the county magistrate of Shengtang County, Lord Wenzhang, who is very fond of Lord Wenzhang." Zhao Mingwei saw that no one greeted Li You, and was worried that Li You would be despised by him, so when introducing him, he deliberately buttoned Wen Zhang's hat for him.
"Oh, someone that Lord Wen Zhang admires?" Fox Yu pretended to be surprised, and then turned to Li You. "Master Li, look up for a long time!"
"Linghu Gongzi, look up and look up together!"
Together?
Everyone didn't understand what Li You meant for a while, and Li You didn't bother to explain, after all, his mind was all on the case now. The greeting with Zhao Mingwei just now had already made him anxious, and now that he greeted him again, wouldn't he get the sunset? Therefore, Li You made up such a nondescript answer.
"Ladies and gentlemen, a large amount of illicit salt has been found on Yao Buwei's cargo ship, and selling illicit salt is a felony." After Li You finished speaking, he turned to look at Yao Buwei. "Yao Yuanwai, do you have anything to say?"
"The grass people are guilty!"
"What? Do you plead guilty? ā
"Not bad!" Yao Buwei's face was calm. "In the room just now, the grass people have already written a confession to Lord Zhou."
"Write a confession?"
"Hmm." Zhou Fu nodded. "Yao Yuanwai admits that he has no way to discipline him, so he causes domestic slaves to secretly carry and sell illicit salt in the goods."
"No way to discipline? Entrainment sales? ā
I see!
Is this your trump card?
Li You couldn't help but look at Ling Huxuan, who showed a mocking smile at Li You.
"The king has?" Li You turned to Wang You.
Wang You was originally very flustered, but after seeing Ling Hu Lu and Zhou Fu come forward, he was already in the mentality of a bystander, but now when he heard Yao Buwei's words, he couldn't help but change his face greatly. "Master, I..."
"Damn minion, you still don't plead guilty!" Yao Buwei couldn't help Wang You's part, and glared at Wang You angrily.
"Iā" Wang You's eyes widened, and after opening his mouth a few times, he finally didn't say anything.
Li You saw all this in his eyes and immediately understood Ling Huji's strategy. However, his loopholes were also discovered.
Wang You has been traveling back and forth between Shengtang County and Yangzhou, and is responsible for the transportation of private salt. Therefore, when Ling Hu Ji determined the countermeasure, Yao Buwei and Wang You did not reach an agreement, which also led to Wang You's reaction at this time. Moreover, selling illicit salt is a capital crime, even if it is discussed in advance, it is estimated that Wang You will not agree. The key to cracking Linghu's plan lies in the king.
"Wang You, selling illicit salt is a capital crime, this official asks you..."
"Master Li, this official has heard that you have taken the Ming Law exam, so you should understand what exclusive jurisdiction is." Zhou Fu looked playful and sadistic.
"Exclusive? Hehe, this official only knows that this is the boundary of Shengtang County..."
"Master Li, although I have never participated in the imperial examination..."Ling Hulu saw that Li You had a very unreasonable attitude, and immediately opened his mouth to help. However, Li You didn't give Ling Hulu face at all, and interrupted directly. "Linghu Gongzi, this official is discussing business with Lord Zhou, you have no official rank, this official suggests that you don't say much!"
"You!" Ling Hu was made red-faced by Li You.
"What? Do you want to interfere in political affairs as a civilian? Li Youchong made the fox look angrily, causing the fox to show a fierce light, and Sha Quan and Ji Liang behind him immediately couldn't bear it.
"You sesame big little official, dare to be unreasonable to our son!" Sha Quan shouted loudly, and Ji Liang jumped out of the crowd and punched Li You. However, the two miscalculated.
Today, Li You had already planned it, he was unreasonable, and he only talked about his fists. Because in terms of laws and regulations, Li You is untenable.
Therefore, when Ji Liang made a move, Li You knew that he would go down to the city first.
"You're something!"
Before Ji Liang came to Li You, Wang Miao's fist had already burst out.
Bang!
Ahh
Ji Liang can still show his teeth and claws to ordinary people, but to Wang Miao, who is possessed by the hedgehog beast, it is simply a kitten that meets a tiger, and is blown out by Wang Miao's punch, letting out a scream that does not look like a human.
Seeing that Ji Liang was injured, Sha Quan immediately couldn't bear it anymore, and screamed and pounced on Wang Miao, Wang Miao looked disdainful, and was just about to throw another punch, Yuan Gang had already accumulated enough strength and blasted towards Sha Quan from the side.
Bang!
Poof!
The sand spring flew out sideways and fell into the water.
The surrounding workers saw that they were fighting, and for fear of being involved, they hurriedly scattered and fled, and the scene was immediately chaotic.
"Miao'er, Wang You!"
Li You glanced at Wang Miao, Wang Miao immediately understood, took advantage of the chaos to jump to Wang You's side, picked up Wang You and ran, and disappeared into the crowd in a blink of an eye.
"Li You!" Ling Hu Jian realized Li You's plan and hurriedly scolded loudly. Li You didn't take him seriously at all.
"Lord Zhao, the scene is too chaotic now, and the lower officials are worried that someone will kill the key witness, so they have sent someone to protect him."
"Good!" Zhao Mingwei's army was on the scene, so naturally he had the most right to speak. "Now that the facts have not been ascertained, this scene will be sealed by this official, and other matters will be dealt with later."
"Thank you, Lord Zhao!"
"Yao Yuanwai, although you claim that you don't know about it, you also admit that Wang has taken advantage of the convenience of transporting goods for you to bring private salt, so the accounts of the past few years, this official has to check them one by one!" After Li You said this, he immediately turned to Zhou Fu. "Lord Zhou, no matter who should try this case, this most critical evidence should be seized immediately, right?"
Although Zhou Fu didn't want to admit it, he nodded helplessly.
This is the key to Li Youzhi's death of the fox family!
"You don't have to bother, two adults." Yao Buwei should not have expected that Yao Jin's fire would become his lifeline. "A dozen days ago, a fire broke out in the grass people's house, and all the account books were burned out."
"Nonsense!" This was indeed beyond Li You's expectations.
"Yao doesn't say anything about it." Ling Hu Ji confirmed.
Wang Lang turned his head to look at Li You, and Li You immediately nodded vigorously at him, still looking like he was in his chest. Although Li You also had a bad premonition, he must not show it, otherwise there is a high probability that there will be a crack in his fragile alliance with Wang Lang.
"Lord Zhao, I'll leave the next thing to you."
"Well said, well said." Zhao Mingwei's face was flattering.
Li You has Wen Zhang to take care of him, there are masters around him to help, and he has just shown the wisdom that is not inferior to Ling Huji, and now Zhao Mingwei has long decided that he is definitely not a thing in the pool, so he naturally looks at him differently.
"Lord Zhou, since you advocate that this case should be exclusively managed, then Yao Buwei will be left to you to take care of. When you go to court at that time, don't tell your subordinates that you lost him! Li You looked directly at Zhou Fu, and Zhou Fu had already lost the contempt he had just now.
"Okay! Lee-sama! ā
Whether it is resourcefulness, courage, or the strength in his hands, Li You has shown no less strength than Ling Huji.
Strength is everything!
Strength can earn you respect, both for your own people and for your opponents.
"Let's go!"
Li You turned around and walked towards the entrance of the port.
Yuan Gang and Ouyang brothers and sisters glanced at Ling Huxuan, Zhou Fu and the others, and the three of them were all expressionless, with a look of treating them as if they were nothing.
"Let's go."
Ouyang Yan took Liu Ya's hand and left first, followed by Yuan Gang and Ouyang Jian.
For the first time in his life, Ling Fox lost himself, feeling like a worm, and the other party was reluctant to step on it.
Strength!
The power in Li You's hands far exceeded his expectations, and the power behind Wang Lang was even more incomparable to him.
Get stronger!
In addition to encircling stronger subordinates, you must also become stronger!
It reminded the fox of the method taught by the fallacious dust.
Child! I need more kids!
