Zhao Xi took his mother's words and continued to talk about the matter.

Zhao Xi and Zhao Qi, who learned the truth of the matter, with the help of Zhao Fuquan, a fellow villager, took out all the remaining silver in the family and went to Shuoshui City to try to rescue Qiao Ying.

Now in the middle of winter, more than 100 acres of land and houses are still available, even if they want to sell them to raise money, they can't find a buyer for a while, and Zhao Qi's mother and son are so worried that they want to break their hearts. Fortunately, the old bustard Yan's mother and several Oiran ladies of the "Qunfang Jingyan Building" were very angry, and when they learned about it, they went around to help dredge up the relationship, but the Lord Zhizhou Shi was very busy and repeatedly begged to see him.

Yan's mother couldn't, so she borrowed another 500 taels of silver tickets to Zhao Xi, and asked him to go to the Beijing Criminal Department to complain about his grievances and find a way to rescue Qiao Ying. As for Shuoshui City's side, they first helped clear the prison side, so that Qiao Ying at least didn't suffer grievances in prison.

After Zhao Xi discussed with his mother Zhao Qi, he sued the official with the people, and in any case, he had to fight ten times before complaining about his grievances. Their mothers and sons, the old, the weak, the sick and the disabled are all occupied, where can they withstand it? If the elders sue their children and grandchildren within their five suits, as long as there is clear evidence to prove that their children and grandchildren do not support themselves for more than three months, they will be allowed to sue one by one.

So Zhao Qi decided to kill his relatives in righteousness and accused Zhao Huan of being unfilial.

The Great Yi Dynasty rules the world with benevolence and filial piety!

Zhao Qi was young and widowed, and he raised his two sons until he was half-blind, and the eldest brother did not support his old mother and tried to cripple his younger brother's property.

Li Rong's face was heavy and after listening to Zhao Qi's statement, his facial features twitched with anger, but he was cheering in his heart: God help me!

Zhao Qi's Shi Yaoxian, the Zhizhou Lord of Shuoshui City, Li Rong secretly has some evidence, this Shi Yaoxian is a loyal Chen Guifei party, and he has secretly been greedy for ink for many years, and it can be said that he is the money bag of Chen Guifei's mother and son.

Concubine Chen favored the harem and gave birth to two sons, the fourth son of the emperor, Rui Wang Li Jue, and the eighth son of the emperor, Qing Wang Li Yue, who were also quite popular with the Holy Lord. Chen Guifei Liu Jingxian was born in a big family, and her mother's family is a famous hairpin family, known as the Liu family of the first family in Hexi.

Liu Yun, the current head of the Liu family, is sleek and sophisticated, although he has no real position, but he has a good relationship with various families and officials.

Liu Yun and his sister in the palace should be together inside and outside, relying on each other, and the Liu family's power is becoming more and more solid, which is the biggest support for the three of Concubine Chen's mother and son. And Concubine Chen's favored harem and her two sons are the biggest bargaining chips for the Liu family to befriend officials.

Li Rong's mother Xie Shunfei has been oppressed by Concubine Chen for many years, and the eldest sister born to Li Rong's half-mother was designed by Concubine Chen to marry Saibei and relatives, this hatred can be described as deep as the sea.

Li Rong has been doing everything possible for many years, secretly stumbling on Concubine Chen's mother and son without a trace, but he is weak and has little effect.

Now that God has opened his eyes, how can Li Rong not make good use of such a wonderful opportunity?!

There are four divisions under the Criminal Department, which have been responsible for revising and improving laws and regulations. Second, it is responsible for examining and reviewing cases throughout the country, striving to ensure that there is not a single unjust or wrongful case. The third is in charge of prisons and important criminals. Fourth, it is responsible for sending and receiving documents and handling daily government affairs in various places.

Yun Xiao's location is the most important second division, once there are ordinary people complaining about grievances, they must be investigated. Although Zhao Qi's family sued the people with the people, the case she reported involved officials who were greedy for ink and careless of human life, and Yun Xiao paid more attention to it.

Master Shangshu Xiao of the Criminal Department, who arrived one step at a time, handed over his golden fish talisman to Yun Xiao, and asked him to go to Shuoshui City first, and quickly put Qiao Ying out of prison to find out the truth.

Li Rong didn't say a word, and went back with twelve guards with Zhao Xi and his party, and asked Yun Xiao to bring Qiao Ying to Zhao Jiaji after he was put in prison, so that their family could be reunited first, and then collect evidence on the spot, retry the case, and convict Zhao Huan.

Chu Wan's shameless father, Chu Lingzhou is in the most idle department of the Criminal Department, making tea every day and writing the so-called laws, because he is too idle, so he has a lot of time to help King Rui pay attention to everything in the Criminal Department. Li Rong's movements couldn't escape his secret attention.

At lunchtime, Chu Lingzhou hurriedly reported the changes in the Criminal Department to King Rui, but unfortunately King Rui, who was thinking about how to insert his own people into various departments, did not pay attention to King Rui. On the contrary, in the Ministry of Rites, King Qing, who seemed to be very leisurely, immediately took a few exquisite jewelry and accessories, and under the pretext of giving them to Concubine Chen, he entered the palace to discuss with Concubine Chen.

King Jin, who was in the Ministry of Works, seriously discussed with a group of officials in charge of water conservancy and river channels the feasibility of continuing to expand the Kyoto Canal, how much budget would be needed, and so on, seemingly unaware of the impending storm.

And when King Qi and Yun Xiao had just left, Li Wei, the virtuous king, who was carefully checking the national military registration and the detailed ordnance registration in the military department, was dizzy by an account book that fell from the sky.

Wu Ning, who could run freely in the military headquarters with his eyes closed, grimaced quite embarrassedly, folded the roof tiles back lightly, and walked out to report without leaving a trace.

Li Wei rubbed the door of the bag, gritted his teeth and picked up the account book, and a note fell out of it. Li Wei picked it up and looked at it, and immediately frowned, and then frowned and questioned.

The note only had a simple sentence: "Shuoshui Wharf Longsheng grain line ship, full of stolen goods to Liu Yun".

Li Wei quickly flipped through the account book, which was densely packed with when and where Shi Yaoxian of Shuoshui Zhizhou, who and what he sent to, this account book is just a record of Taihe's eighteen years, and it is roughly estimated that at least nearly five million taels of silver have been issued, of which there are two million taels of silver and countless clothes and fur jewelry just for Concubine Chen, Shi Yao has been in Shuoshui Zhizhou for seventeen years, so calculated, the amount is amazing!

At this time, it was lunch time, Li Wei thought about it for a moment, and hurried back to the mansion to discuss with his think tank. In the afternoon, Li Wei finished the manuscript and decisively entered the palace to see the Holy Lord.

The Holy Lord's face was as usual, slowly turning the account book page by page, and Li Wei stood aside obediently, waiting quietly.

"Hollow piercing chrysanthemum pattern hairpin, Chaoyang nine-tailed five phoenix hanging bead hairpin, ruby carved crested hairpin, nine phoenix Chaoyang hairpin, crystal silver crystal phoenix hairpin, gem-inlaid white jade peony hairpin, gold inlaid bead hollow color phoenix play pearl hairpin, tortoiseshell inlaid pearl stone coral squirrel grape hairpin, golden dragon jade hairpin, jasper dragon and phoenix hairpin, gold silk inlaid treasure peony hairpin." The Holy Lord pointed to them one by one, and said in a calm tone: "These things, I remember that Concubine Chen wore them. ”

Li Wei was secretly refreshed in his heart, he couldn't imagine that the Holy Lord actually remembered it so clearly, besides, no matter how favored Concubine Chen was, in the final analysis, she was just a concubine, this peony and phoenix hairpin, since only the main room was available, and the nine-tailed phoenix hairpin, at present, only the queen in the world was available. If you really think about it, you can't escape the crime of Concubine Chen's trespassing.

Li Wei's face was impassive, and he did not answer the Holy Lord's question directly: "This matter is too involved, and the sons dare not make their own decisions at will. ”

"So you're just throwing this hot potato at me, aren't you?" The Holy Lord closed the account book and explained: "Lao Tian, pass on my will, let Zhao Baoshan take six hundred city guards to Shuoshui, seal the government and all the case files, re-check, and escort Shi Yaoxian into Beijing. ”

The Holy Lord actually made such a resolute decision so lightly, Li Wei couldn't react for a while, and was a little stunned.

The Holy Lord threw the account book at Li Wei, and Li Wei hurriedly took it. "What are you doing in a daze? Call the palace guards. The Holy Lord turned around and took a sword of the Son of Heaven from the shelf and handed it to Li Wei: "Take my sword and do this errand for me."

Li Weicheng was terrified and respectfully took the sword of the Son of Heaven with both hands: "Erchen obeys orders!" ”
