Five days later, a light rain fell in Chang'an.

The smoke and rain are misty, and the wind drills into people's necks.

The street became empty, the pedestrians hurried, and the city gate was even more deserted, several guards yawned, leaning against the city wall and chatting, when suddenly they saw a long procession coming, and immediately they were sleepy, and quickly sounded the gong to warn, and countless soldiers rushed from the hidden places to close the city gate.

Not long after, a long line came over, and a captain held up a token and shouted: "We are soldiers of the Lizhou Mansion, and we are ordered to escort the traitors into the city, this is the certificate." ”

The general defending the city had already received the news, but he didn't dare to open the door easily and let it in, it was a soldier, not a common person, and cautiously shouted: "Where is the governor of Lizhou?" ”

"Da Da Da!"

The Governor of Lizhou, Wu Shitong, rode forward, held an oil-paper umbrella and said, "The old man is here!" ”

The general defending the city recognized that it was a warrior, secretly breathed a sigh of relief, and immediately asked people to open the city gate, while arranging for someone to go to the imperial city to report the news, and then shouted loudly: "Where the duty is, please understand the governor of Wudu, enter the city." ”

"General Xie." Samurai Tong said politely.

The team escorted the traitors into the city, and the prisoner car was full of relatives of the Hou family, all of whom were like ashes, but the escorted soldiers would not sympathize, Hou Minghao led the troops to kill the officials and seize the wealth, everyone followed the bad luck, countless casualties, and a suspicion of rebellion, which has been held in my heart.

The wind and rain on his cheeks, the warrior Tong felt a chill, but his heart was even colder, as soon as he entered Chang'an, life and death were unpredictable, but he had to come, regretted not being at the beginning, and only hoped that his daughter could help say something in the palace, took a deep breath, and walked forward with a hard head, believing in the reins, and his heart was like numbness.

The procession walked all the way along Suzaku Street, and unconsciously came to the gate of the imperial city.

Wang De, the head of the inner chamberlain, came out and said: "The thief will take him to the Criminal Department, and he will be interrogated by the three divisions of the Heavenly Prison. ”

Hearing these words, the warrior Tong's eyes lit up, and his mind became lively, such a clear eucalyptus, the human and material evidence is complete, there is no need for the three divisions to interrogate, and the saint wants to see himself, the meaning behind this is intriguing, maybe there is a turnaround, quickly agreed, and followed in.

The convoy was rerouted and went straight to the Criminal Department.

The news of the triage of the three divisions and the entry into the temple spread quickly.

Fang Xuanling was on duty in the yafang, his face was stunned when he heard the news, he waved his hand, and after signaling the subordinates who came to report to leave, he looked out the window and groaned, he couldn't guess what the saint was doing?

"Do you want to turn over the eucalyptus?"

Thinking of this, Fang Xuanling was unsettled, and hurriedly left the yafang.

After a cup of tea, Fang Xuanling came to the Academy of Sciences, found Li Jing who was handling official business in the main hall, and briefly explained the situation, Li Jing's face also changed slightly, and he groaned.

"What is the purpose of the Holy One?" Fang Xuanling urged.

"Don't panic, this matter is very strange, it is impossible not to see the truth with the talents of the saints, the purpose of the triage of the three divisions is probably not to turn it over, but to do things in a clear place, and to give Qin Huaidao a crime, the purpose is twofold, one is to beat Qin Huaidao, of course, also to beat us old guys; Second, that batch of salt, coastal bandits, sea salt can't be transported, and the entire Jingzhaoyin is short of salt, but Qin Huaidao wants that batch of salt, and the saint can't start directly, and it's not good to do it secretly, so he can only use the three divisions to try to achieve the goal. ”

Fang Xuanling heard that it made sense, and said in a deep voice: "The entire Jingzhao Mansion has been short of salt for several days, and there will be a big chaos in the long run, the imperial court urgently needs a batch of salt to stabilize the residents, it can be said that this batch of salt is timely rain, if it flows into the people through the hand of Qin Huaidao, then the people are grateful to Huaidao, if it flows out through the hand of the saint, then the public opinion is in the pilgrimage, and the saint must be in control, Li Gong's analysis is right, the saint is more and more dissatisfied with Huaidao." ”

"It should be said that we are starting to be dissatisfied with our old people, and the Holy Lord is paving the way for the new monarch." Li Jing said, his eyes were very solemn, he thought of something, and added: "The old man is old and his health is getting worse and worse, so it is better to resign and go home and take care of his old age." ”

"Do you want to retreat and advance and test the saint?" Fang Xuanling is not stupid, he can see through Li Jing's thoughts.

Everyone is their own people who know the roots, Li Jing did not hide it, nodded and said: "It is true that I am unwell and cannot adapt to the daily government, and Li Dejian follows Qin Huaidao, I may be able to calm the heart of the saint if I withdraw." ”

The influence of the first person in the army is too great, if he withdraws, it can indeed make Li Er feel at ease, Fang Xuanling also understood the reason, thought about it, and said: "No, the more suspicious you are, the more you can't retreat, otherwise it will backfire, making people think that they are weak-minded, and they can be in their positions, not seeking their own politics, and sitting and watching the changes in the situation." ”

"Makes sense, too." Li Jing was able to penetrate it at one point, looking out the window and contemplating silently.

Fang Xuanling didn't say anything anymore, they were all heroes, and many things didn't need to be broken, tacitly.

After a while, Fang Xuanling had a bottom in his heart, and advised: "Then according to this strategy, you go and remind them a few old guys, you must be stable in extraordinary times, you can't mess with yourself, Qin Huaidao is talented, thoughtful, and steady, it is impossible to leave a handle, the three divisions can't help him, and when he comes back, he will deal with it by himself, we old things only need to stand behind him."

”

"Reasonable! I'll go find Wei Chi Gong, Baolin's life and death are unknown, he has a violent temper, he is the most prone to accidents, you have to stabilize him first" Li Jing got up and walked outside.

"I'll go talk to the eldest grandson Wuji, this old fox's attitude is also very important." Fang Xuanling followed.

The two parted ways.

Li Jing hurriedly came to the Eguo Mansion, just as a carriage came over, and it was Yu Chi Baoqi who was driving the car, his face was gloomy and terrifying, and he hurriedly stepped forward and asked, "Baoqi, is your brother in the car?" ”

"I've seen Wei Guogong, it's my brother."

He ...... Are people alright? ”

"Xie Ligong cares, my brother is still in a coma, I'm afraid ......" The latter words Yu Chi Baoqi couldn't speak.

At this time, a large number of subordinates rushed out, and Li Jing said in a deep voice: "Go in and talk." ”

After the carriage entered the house, it went straight to the backyard, Wei Chigong and Mrs. Qi all came around, crying, everyone hurriedly carried people to the room, the imperial doctor was already waiting, stepped forward to check the pulse, calmly did not speak, seeing that everyone was nervous, Li Jing also looked at Wei Chigong worriedly.

After a while, the imperial doctor said: "E Guogong, fortunately, the wound was treated in time, but there was too much blood loss, and everything can only be seen when he wakes up." ”

The implication is that if you can't wake up, you'll be gone.

The Eguo Mansion panicked when they heard it, and they all looked at Wei Chigong, Wei Chigong is a rough person, where do you know what to do, and couldn't help but look at Li Jing, Li Jing thought of Qin Huaidao's medical skills, but it was difficult to say that he blocked the face of the imperial doctor, so as not to let the imperial doctor leave, and made a look.

The two have been together for many years, and they have a tacit understanding, so they went out together and came outside, and after walking to a corner where no one was there, Li Jing said bluntly: "Let Yu Chi Baoqi go and go to Qin Huaidao, maybe there is a way." ”

"Yes, look for him, that kid has extraordinary medical skills." Yu Chi Gong reacted, turned around and left, came to the door and shouted to Yu Chi Baoqi to come out, whispered a few words, Yu Chi Baoqi's eyes lit up, and he hurriedly went, Yu Chi Gong entered the room and asked: "Imperial Doctor Wu, if you give the old man a truth, how many days can it be delayed?" ”

The imperial doctor hesitated and said, "This ...... It is necessary to look at the child's body and survival thoughts, first prescribe a dose of medicine, decoction and death, no problem for three or five days, and then ...... It depends on creation. ”

"Then there will be labor." Wei Chigong urged.

The imperial doctor was worried that Wei Chigong's temper would not be easy to deal with, so he hurriedly wrote a prescription, and hurried back after telling some matters, Wei Chigong asked the housekeeper to grab the medicine, told his wife to take care of it, hurriedly went out, took Li Jing to the reception room, and said bluntly: "Xie Li Gong just reminded me, is there something wrong with coming over this time?" ”

Li Jing nodded, explained the interrogation and speculation of the three divisions in detail, and finally added: "The King of Jin refused to pursue and kill the pirates and missed the opportunity for revenge, but don't be rash, Huaidao went to Lizhou, and waited for him to come back." ”

Wei Chigong did not reply with a gloomy face.

The bandits have obviously fled, and the pursuit can not only make meritorious contributions, but also avenge Yu Chi Baolin, and anyone who leads the army will chase and kill, avenge Wei Chi Baolin, and win people's hearts, but Li Zhi, the king of Jin, chose to ignore it, which is really chilling, and it has spread the face of the dignified Duke of Hubei?

Li Jing sighed and comforted: "Your mood is understandable, but now is an eventful time, our old guys will only make things more complicated and more variable, I believe Qin Huaidao will give you an explanation, of course, this is just a suggestion, what do you do The old man does not block, after all, you are the father of the child, I am just an outsider, it is difficult to empathize." ”

"Xie Li announced everything, although my son is not an official in the court, he takes a caravan, but after all, it is my son, and it is just that the king of Jin has not met him, and he will not do anything that is convenient, I am uneasy, rest assured, I will wait for Huaidao to come back and then decide."

"That's good, if you need to send someone to the door at any time to inform you, let's go forward and retreat together." Li Jing got up, said goodbye and left.
