Chapter 44 Add another Li Banghua
After Liu Qiao got back into the carriage, he quickly turned in another direction and hurried to the next person he wanted to see without stopping.
Eventually, he stopped in front of the slightly austere Li Mansion.
"Go back to my lord, my family is not at home."
Hearing the housekeeper say this, Liu Qiao was slightly startled, and hurriedly asked, "Where is that now?" ”
"My family has not returned since I went to Beijing yesterday."
Liu Qiao's expression froze, and after a deep groan, he returned to the carriage and ordered, "Go to Jingying." ”
"My lord, there are many people in Jingying." A subordinate reminded.
Liu Qiao said in a deep voice: "I know that after we arrived in Jingying, King Xin had already entered the palace, and this matter was more than half successful. ”
"Looking for Master Li, it's just for extra protection, even if their whereabouts are exposed, they won't be in time."
The Lord Li mentioned by Liu Qiao is naturally Li Banghua, the right attendant of the military department and the commander of the Beijing camp.
Originally, it was a good time for the first month, and most of the officials were at home to celebrate the New Year, but this year seemed to have nothing to do with Li Banghua.
Because officials big and small would rather go around it, they should also try to avoid it, for fear of having something to do with him Li Banghua.
There is no way, who called him the Donglin Party, who told him to be so serious after he was in charge of the Beijing camp, he almost offended the powerful scholars and doctors of the entire Beijing Division.
To get close to him is to go against the magnates of the entire Jingshi, who dares to risk the disapproval of the world?
And Li Banghua himself is also self-aware, he neither wants to be disliked, nor does he want to affect others, so he simply doesn't bother to go out, and spends all day either studying how to streamline the army and streamline the government, or spending it in the Beijing camp, as if the New Year has nothing to do with him.
After being stopped at the camp gate, Liu Qiao immediately reported to his home and said: "This official has an important case related to Master Li, so he came to inquire." ”
The soldiers guarding were suddenly shocked, in recent years, due to the style of the eunuch "Five Biao", the reputation of the Jinyi Guard is outside, and few people dare to provoke it.
Although it has been replaced now, ordinary people are still instinctively stunned when they hear Jinyiwei.
Therefore, after Liu Qiao explained his intentions, the guards did not dare to slack off, and hurriedly went in to report.
Hearing that Jinyiwei came to the door, and there was an important case related to him, Li Banghua couldn't help but be surprised, and instinctively thought that the eunuchs were playing ghosts and wanted to get rid of himself.
But Li Banghua was not afraid of the shadow, so he still sent someone to let Liu Qiao in, after all, when he went to Beijing to take office, he was still escorted by Lord Liu all the way.
"Lord Li, this case involves a lot of money, and it is inconvenient for outsiders to be present."
As soon as they met, Liu Qiao unceremoniously asked Li Banghua to clear out other unrelated people.
Li Banghua wanted to see what this Liu Qiao wanted, so he immediately let the left and right retreat, and there were only two people left in the huge barracks.
Liu Qiao's expression suddenly relaxed, and he arched his hand to Li Banghua and said, "Master Li, there is a lot of trouble, please forgive me." ”
Li Banghua was stunned for a moment and asked, "What does Lord Liu mean by this?" ”
Liu Qiao said: "It's not a secret, Liu is not here to investigate the case of Master Li, but to ask Lord Li for a favor." ”
"Can I help?" Li Banghua was stunned again, he didn't know what else he could do to help Jinyiwei, but he still said, "Lord Liu, it's okay to say it." ”
Liu Qiao didn't say, but directly took out a few pieces of white cloth from his arms, which were densely written, and there were red palm prints.
Similarly, this is also a confession, and it is also Kebaba's confession, and the content is exactly the same as the one in Zhu Youzhen's hand.
Li Banghua took it, immediately spread it on the table next to him, and began to check it.
Like Zhu Youzhen, his expression became more and more angry at a speed visible to the naked eye.
"What a holy lady, her mind is so vicious, if this poisonous woman is not removed, it will be difficult for me to keep it safe."
Liu Qiao was overjoyed, and immediately answered: "What Lord Li said is extremely true, if you don't get rid of this poisonous woman, how can you be worthy of this black gauze hat on our heads?" ”
Li Banghua looked at Liu Qiao, immediately calmed down a lot, and asked, "Lord Liu, in addition to this confession, are there any human and physical evidence?" ”
Liu Qiao naturally knew what Li Banghua meant, but he was worried that he would be beaten into a trick.
However, Li Banghua is not to blame, because Jinyiwei has done too many such things, and everyone is easy to think about it.
Moreover, it has been less than a day since Kebaba disappeared yesterday, and it is not easy for Liu Qiao to get this confession, so how can he have time to collect any personal and physical evidence.
Besides, even if there are witnesses and physical evidence, they must be in the hands of the eunuchs, not to mention Liu Qiao, even if Luo Sigong goes, it is very difficult to get his hands on, and it is even easy to put himself in.
This Liu Qiao appeared in Jingying unharmed now, and some of the answers were already obvious, he didn't touch those human and physical evidence at all.
And without any witnesses or physical evidence, relying on this confession alone is undoubtedly hitting a stone with an egg.
Liu Qiao was naturally prepared, and hurriedly said: "Master Li, before I came, I had already met His Royal Highness King Xin, and now His Royal Highness King Xin has entered the palace. ”
Immediately, he pointed to one of the items in the confession: "As long as the human and physical evidence of this crime is found, it is enough to convict the Hakka felony." ”
Li Banghua looked at the position pointed by Liu Qiao, and asked with a solemn expression: "The palace is full of eunuchs, and King Xin also has many constraints, I'm afraid it's not so easy." ”
This Li Banghua was really much more cautious than King Xin, and Liu Qiao immediately stepped forward and whispered to him.
Hearing this, Li Banghua bowed slightly, a little relieved.
Then, Liu Qiao added: "Lord Li can wait and see what happens, if we don't find human and physical evidence, Lord Li will be completely ignorant and stay out of the matter, and we will never implicate Lord Li." ”
"If we get the evidence, we will ask Master Li to help us at that time."
Having said this, Li Banghua also felt Liu Qiao's sincerity.
Moreover, this is not for Liu Qiao's personal private affairs, but for the sake of the Ming Dynasty, it is worth taking some risks.
"Okay." Li Banghua didn't say anything more, and directly agreed.
Liu Qiao was overjoyed and said, "Thank you, Master Li." ”
"It is our duty as officials to revive the dynasty and drive out traitors, so why should Lord Liu say thank you?"
"Haha, long live reactivating Master Li, it's really a wise move."
After communicating with Li Banghua, Liu Qiao didn't stay long, quickly left the Beijing camp, and rushed to the next place non-stop.
This time he didn't go to see anyone, but went straight to his yamen brocade guard on duty.
At this time, there were not many people in the Yamen of the Jinyi Guard, because Mrs. Fengsheng was missing, Banzai ordered the Jinyi Guard to immediately take out his talents to look for it.
Many people have been busy since yesterday until now, but still have not found anything.
Luo Sigong casually walked up to Liu Qiao, looked at Liu Qiao's bloodshot eyes, and asked in a low voice, "Lord Liu, where have you been from yesterday to now?" ”
