The incident happened suddenly, not only the Chang'an government and the opposition were shocked, but Liu Xingzhou was also shocked.

Although his son has a little problem, he likes to mess with the gentlemen in Chang'an, and he has not seen the servile appearance of the gentlemen on weekdays.

But Liu Shanwang is still remarkable in other places except for this unbearable behavior, and reading is also considered to be competitive, and associating with gentlemen shows that he is well-connected and good at making friends.

But to say that Liu Shanwang dared to steal other people's valuable gifts, and dared to assassinate the children of the country's public family, Liu Xingzhou didn't believe it, it wasn't that he was arrogant, his son was really not material for stealing money and killing people, and he didn't light up this skill when he was born.

There must be a conspiracy in this!

Liu Xingzhou is sure that the abnormality of the incident is unusual, and there must be a conspiracy behind the unusual.

However, his son was imprisoned and not allowed to visit, and Liu Xingzhou knew nothing about the situation at the time of the crime, especially when he learned that Li Qinzai, the grandson of the British Gong, was ordered to try the case, Liu Xingzhou became even more desperate.

The Son of Heaven's will is of great significance.

As we all know, after the case occurred in Chang'an City, it was usually tried by Chang'an County or Wannian County, and if the case was a little bigger, it would be handed over to the Yongzhou Assassin's Mansion for trial, because Chang'an City in the early Tang Dynasty was said to be the national capital, but the administrative division belonged to the Yongzhou Assassin's Office's purview.

If the case involves a powerful person, or if it reaches the heavens, it may be escalated to the Criminal Department and Dali Temple for trial.

Any possibility Liu Xingzhou can accept, but Li Qinzai is a county magistrate, but he has not served in the Criminal Department or Dali Temple at all, and the Son of Heaven handed over a criminal case to Li Qinzai for trial for no reason, which is completely unjustifiable.

So, why did the Son of Heaven make this decision? Could it be that Li Qinzai is especially favored by the Son of Heaven?

…………

In the British Mansion, Li Qinzai had just sent away the elated Xue Ne, turned around and returned to the front hall, but saw Li Tao sitting in it upright at some point, and picked up the leftover vegetables that Li Qinzai had just eaten with his hands, and ate them with relish.

Li Qinzai hurriedly said: "If grandpa is hungry, and grandson asks the cook to cook fresh food for you, how can you eat leftovers?" ”

Li Tao snorted and said, "Why can't you eat it?" No matter who has leftover vegetables, wasting food is a great crime, bastard, you have never had a hard life, when the former Sui was overthrown, the generals in the army were bitter, the people of the world were also bitter, thousands of miles of hunger, and the scene of cannibalism by the children had you ever seen? ”

"Now that life is comfortable, there are officials and knights, can it be wasted like this?"

Li Qinzai opened his mouth, wanted to speak and stopped, but still sighed and chose to be silent.

Li Tao said dissatisfiedly: "Why don't you accept it? Didn't the old man teach the right lesson? ”

Li Qinzai smiled bitterly: "Grandpa taught him a lesson, but what his grandson wants to say is...... Actually, what you eat is not leftovers, your grandson just sent Xue Ne away, and you want to continue eating when you come back......"

Li Tao's hand on the leftovers suddenly froze, and as soon as the two fingers loosened, the leftovers fell back into the food plate.

Fingers put into his mouth and sighed, Li Tao said without changing his face: "It's good if you don't waste it, you continue to eat, the old man stares at you, dare to leave a little bit, don't blame the old man for killing his relatives righteously." ”

"No, no." Li Qinzai laughed dryly.

It's so cute that the old man is embarrassed and angry and pretends to cover up......

Li Qinzai really couldn't continue to eat the food that Li Tao's fingers had stirred up, so he turned it over a few times with a bamboo chopstick, put down the bamboo chopstick, and changed the topic.

"Has Grandpa heard the news of Chang'an City today?"

Li Tao snorted and said, "I heard that you bastard boys are really filthy, although they are for self-preservation, they inexplicably put other people's sons in prison." ”

Li Qinzai smiled and said, "Liu Xingzhou impeached his cousin and put his innocent cousin in prison, grandpa guess if he has reflected on himself." ”

Li Tao glanced at him deeply and said: "You are not small, but you are not small, you can't see it on weekdays, you can't control the means when you encounter something, you still need to hone your heart." ”

"How can you repay virtue with virtue? Grandpa and grandson have always been peaceful, but if anyone dares to offend my relatives and friends, don't blame me for using thunderbolt measures. ”

Li Tao didn't know how to persuade him, and he couldn't even say whether it was good or bad for Li Qinzai's temperament.

So Li Tao had no choice but to return to the topic and said: "Your Majesty has decreed that you will try this case, and the old man guesses that you and Your Majesty have already discussed it in private, right?" ”

"Yes, in fact, Your Majesty also knows that Grandpa and cousin have been wronged, and recently the wind in the court is not in the right direction, Your Majesty has noticed it, and feels that the wind direction should be reversed back to the right path through this case, so I am willing to cooperate with my grandson and beat the courtiers."

Li Tao sighed: "With Your Majesty's secret cooperation, you can be invincible, but if you act too much and arouse the anger of the courtiers, I am afraid that Your Majesty will not be able to protect you, so you must be careful when you act, don't think that with Your Majesty's support, there are no taboos." ”

Then Li Tao said: "Liu Xingzhou's son is in prison as you wish, it is said that Liu Xingzhou is the only son, born in his thirties, and he is very spoiled. ”

Li Qinzai suddenly looked up to the sky and laughed arrogantly: "Hahaha, Liu Xingzhou, Liu Xingzhou, thirty years in Hedong, thirty years in Hexi, I didn't expect you to fall into my hands one day......"

Before he finished speaking, Li Qinzai faintly noticed the sound of wind and thunder coming from the back of his head, and bent down to dodge, and a lacquer wine cup whistled overhead.

Turning his head in panic, he saw Li Tao glaring at him with an angry face: "Evil animals are rampant!" Seeing that you look like a villain has succeeded in his tricks, the old man is angry! ”

Li Qinzai hurriedly said: "Grandpa, grandson is righteous. ”

"You look like a demon and a crooked way, how can you be righteous?"

"Hereditary, grandpa, if your grandson is not picked up from outside, you shouldn't scold your grandson's appearance, you yourself will suffer ......"

Seeing that Li Tao's chest was so angry that his chest rose and fell violently, Li Qinzai didn't dare to be angry with him, and said cautiously: "Grandpa is not angry, and his grandson is in a hurry, so he won't be here to get in the way......"

After speaking, Li Qinzai left the front hall with interest and walked towards the backyard.

Li Tao calmed down his anger in the front hall, and then he was shocked and lost his voice: "It's not good! The old man's peony! ”

Then he staggered towards the backyard, walking like a fly, without the slightest sign of the old age of the famous general.

…………

Early the next morning, Liu Xingzhou appeared outside the British Mansion again.

Li Qinzai finally met him with great mercy and compassion in the flower hall of the mansion.

Liu Xingzhou carefully sat under Li Qinzai, and quickly glanced at Li Qinzai's expression, seeing that his expression was calm, not sad or happy, Liu Xingzhou became more and more worried.

"Liu Yushi, this official is ordered to try the case of Ling Lang stealing and injuring people, it stands to reason that I really shouldn't have seen the suspect's relatives before the case is decided, and Liu Yushi has a reputation for being upright in the court, you should know the rules, you and I meet today, but it's not appropriate." Li Qinzai smiled and said with a smile.

Liu Xingzhou lowered his head and said: "It's a matter of life and death for the dog, and the lower official has to ask to see him cheekily, and he just wants to plead for the dog." ”

"Oh? Liu Yushi has something to say? ”

"Yes, although the dog Shanwang is young and frivolous, and occasionally acts frivolously, but the lower officials dare to guarantee with their official positions and many years of reputation, Shanwang will never do anything to steal and hurt people, and there must be inside information about yesterday's case, and please ask Li County Bo to be aware of everything and judge impartially."

Li Qinzai's face suddenly sank, and said: "As the superintendent of the imperial history, you have no way to teach your son, and you are still obsessed until this time. Yesterday's case, you saw the official today, who didn't ask about the whole of the case, and didn't mention the victim's injuries, but only knew that it was for Ling Lang to complain. ”

"Do you know the facts of the case? Do you know how much the birthday gift that Ling Lang stole is worth? Have you ever asked where the victim was injured and whether it was life-threatening? ”

"You don't know anything, you dare to avenge Ling Lang, who gave you the courage to interfere with the official's decision?"

Questioning step by step, cold sweat oozed from Liu Xingzhou's forehead, and in front of this young man, Liu Xingzhou was speechless when asked, and his face was ashamed.

"Li, Uncle Li County forgives the crime, the lower official is angry and angry, and he lost his dignity, which is the fault of the lower official. Xia Guan dared to ask, I don't know how the grandson of Shen Guogong is injured? ”

Li Qinzai said coldly: "Ling Lang's knife stabbed Gao Qi in the abdomen, the scene was bleeding like a torrent, Gao Qi is still unconscious, the Shenguo Mansion has been in chaos, the Gao family let go, and they must ask Ling Lang for the death penalty, otherwise they will go to the Golden Palace to ask the Son of Heaven for justice." ”
