The mountain behind Songshan Mountain is covered with residual snow.

A carriage swayed and stopped on the side of the Taoist Temple in the back mountain, and then, Yuan Jiazuo, who was dressed in a scarlet robe, stepped down from the car.

Inside the opposite door, Li Xuan, who was dressed in black, had already come out of the greeting and took the lead in arching his hand: "Yuan Weng." ”

"Lord Wang." Yuan Jiazuo returned the salute, and then asked with a wry smile: "Why did the prince hide in Songshan, when Luoyang was full of wind and rain, there was no prince in charge, I don't know how many cows, ghosts, snakes and gods have emerged." ”

"Oh!" Li Xuan smiled a little amusedly and asked, "What, now in Luoyang, are there many people asking for mercy?" ”

"Many!" Yuan Jiazuo followed Li Xuan into the hall, and then said helplessly: "The Xiao family's affairs are okay, after all, the evidence is conclusive, and now at this time, whoever stands up to intercede for the Xiao family is equivalent to sympathizing with the suspicion of rebellion, so they all hide far away, but many of the other people involved have three relatives and six reasons, which is very troublesome." ”

Li Xuan nodded slightly, he understood the trouble.

The affairs of the Xiao family were secretly planned by Xiao Guan and Xiao Decong, who was far away in Yuezhou, and Xiao Dezhao was completely unaware.

It stands to reason that Xiao Dezhao should be completely innocent, but the problem is that once they are allowed to go to the last step, when Xiao Dezhao knows, he will not even have room to turn back, so this alone is enough for people to guess Xiao Dezhao's thoughts.

Li Xuan personally poured a cup of hot tea for Yuan Jiazuo, and said with a smile: "With Yuan Weng's ability, no matter how many things are, they can be calmed down." ”

"The prince laughed." Yuan Jiazuo looked at Li Xuan with some amusement, and said: "Some things are really not so easy to deal with, ordinary people are just a wealthy family, and the old man can block it, but there are some deceased prime ministers, Shangshu, and even the heirs of friends, who have no intention of being involved in the case and ask for help, but it is not easy to deal with it." ”

Yuan Jiazuo is not a pedantic person, and even sometimes his methods are quite ruthless.

So for the sake of his own future, playing an iron-faced and selfless role in this case is not a big deal, or even better,

But even so, there are some favors that can't get by.

In the early years, he had an old relationship with Yuan Jiazuo, promoted him, helped him, and even the children of relatives and friends who had passed away, but it was not easy to deal with.

If at this time, someone stood up and blocked these things for Yuan Jiazuo, it would be much easier to do.

This person is Li Xuan.

Although he saw Yuan Jiazuo's thoughts clearly, Li Xuan still couldn't help, but ......

"In this way, this king doesn't think there's anything wrong with Yuan Weng's open side, so, it's better to be assigned to Fanzhou for a year and a half of labor, how about it?" Li Xuan made a suggestion.

Yuan Jiazuo was stunned for a moment, and then said: "Why does the prince's words sound more and more serious?" ”

This time it was Li Xuan's turn to be surprised, leaned forward, and asked in surprise: "Why is the sentence getting heavier and heavier, isn't it the more and more judgment?" ”

"There seems to be some misunderstanding between the lower officials and the prince." Yuan Jiazuo looked at Li Xuan cautiously and asked, "What news does the prince have, the DPRK and China are going to deal with this case seriously?" ”

Li Xuan leaned back, his eyes narrowed slightly, and at the same time, he also closed his mouth tightly.

"Is that really the case?" Yuan Jiazuo suddenly frowned, a trace of worry flashed in his eyes, and said: "If this is the case, the verdict of Luozhou Mansion will be ...... by the Criminal Department."

Li Xuan bowed his head slightly, and then said: "Yuan Weng may have misunderstood, this king has said that sentence more than once, this case, this king is just killing people and arresting people, as for the subsequent interrogation and judgment, the locality, the criminal department, and the imperial history platform, each side is responsible." ”

Yushitai is responsible for the examination and approval of officials, Yongzhou Mansion is responsible for the examination and approval of the cases of the people in Luoyang's household registration, and the Criminal Department is responsible for the examination and approval of non-Luoyang household registration, but it involves the examination and approval of the rebellious people and felons, and others, including Li Xuan, do not have any authority to decide the case.

In Yongzhou Prefecture, Yuan Jiazuo has already begun to try and finalize the trial of some people.

However, after the final trial of the case is finalized, it still has to be reported to the Criminal Department and Dali Temple for review.

"Someone has to be responsible for such a big case, right?" Yuan Jiazuo stared straight at Li Xuan, he always thought that Li Xuan was actually responsible for this matter in the end.

Now that he has taken refuge from Luoyang to Songshan, it looks like he is waiting for the imperial decree.

Yuan Jiazuo is no stranger to this method.

Li Xuan sighed lightly and said, "Yuan Weng is too anxious, this case has happened to this day, but it has only been three days. ”

From Li Xuan's sudden attack on Luoyang, he captured and killed the rebels, besieged the Shilang Mansion of the Ministry of War, and finally killed him overnight to Pishan, and then returned in the early morning of the third day.

After handing over the prisoners, Li Xuan returned to Bishan.

It's all right, and it's not even three days long.

"But this matter involves at least one soldier in the military department, in addition to the king of Yue, and the ...... in the mountains" Yuan Jiazuo passed by, and then immediately said: "If this case is to be tried, at least one prime minister must come forward, such as Pei Xiang, he is from the criminal department, and it is normal to deal with this matter." ”

Seeing Yuan Jiazuo's calculating appearance, Li Xuan bowed his head slightly, and when he stopped, Li Xuan said: "Yuan Weng is lenient in governing the government, this king has always known. ”

Although Yuan Jiazuo is iron-faced and selfless, he basically treats officials and officials' families, and he is as lenient as he can for ordinary people.

This is also the reason why Li Xuan was able to continue dating Yuan Jiazuo.

"But now, the current case is sensitive to the timing, lenient, I'm afraid it's a bit inappropriate, maybe it's a good thing for more talents to be treated strictly." Li Xuan pondered his words cautiously, and when he looked up at Yuan Jiazuo, Yuan Jiazuo's face was completely solemn.

"Thank you for reminding me, the old man almost made a big mistake." Yuan Jiazuo stood up and bowed heavily to Li Xuan.

"It's good that Yuan Weng can understand." Li Xuan breathed a sigh of relief and stood up to return the salute.

"If this is the case, then there will definitely be no prime minister involved in this case." Yuan Jiazuo sighed lightly, if the prime minister was not involved, then the case would only be closed within Shangshu Province in the end, and would not be sent to the political hall for discussion.

If it is not sent to the government hall, then there will be much less stakeholders involved, and there will be much less hustle and bustle.

"It's been three days, Chang'an should have completely mastered the situation, if nothing happens, Yuan Weng will be able to receive the holy decree when he goes back today." Li Xuan smiled and arched his hand slightly.

Yuan Jiazuo smiled bitterly and said: "If this is the case, the attack will inevitably be extremely strict, no wonder the prince hid in Songshan after dealing with the matter of Bishan." ”

At present, there are not many parties involved in this case, and it is not enough for Li Xuan to completely avoid it.

But if this matter is a big killer for all parties, then the closer you are, the more unlucky you are.

"Yuan Weng said with a smile, Xuan Ben was ordered to supervise the Taoist Temple of Songshan, and it was His Majesty's temporary will to clean up the rebels, and the matter was over, Xuan naturally returned to Songshan to deal with the right thing, how to hide from the word." Li Xuan bowed down with a serious expression.

Yuan Jiazuo smiled, but he didn't know what to say for a while.

Li Xuan's hiding in Songshan for the past two months is the history of Yuan Jiazuo, the governor of Luo, and he doesn't know anything.

Even Yuan Jiazuo, like the vast majority of people in the DPRK, thought that Li Xuan had returned to Pengzhou.

Who would have thought that Li Xuan would sneak into Songshan quietly, and then suddenly do such a big thing in Luoyang.

Or it should be said that Li Xuan's handling of Luoyang's affairs is his right thing.

The other superintendents of the Songshan Taoist Temple are incidental.

"No matter what, with the charter for today's affairs, the old man is much more relieved." Yuan Jiazuo arched his hand at Li Xuan and said, "Thank you for your advice, if you need the help of the old man, please speak up." ”

Li Xuan returned the salute with a smile and said, "If someone reports Xuan's name in the torture hall in the future, please ask Yuan Weng to deal with it, this is already the greatest help to Xuan." ”

"The prince is really virtuous, so the old man will leave." Yuan Jiazuo nodded slightly.

"Send Yuan Weng."

……

Li Xuan walked forward and sent Yuan Jiazuo outside the hall.

Next to the carriage, Yuan Jiazuo, who was just about to board the horse, suddenly stopped, turned to look at Li Xuan, and asked: "There is something I still want to ask the prince, before in the Bishan Valley, the prince once seized a group of craftsmen, I don't know how the prince plans to deal with it?" ”

Li Xuan frowned, looked at Yuan Jiazuo puzzled, and said, "I don't know what Yuan Weng has planned, please tell me directly." ”

Yuan Jiazuo smiled bitterly and arched his hand, and his eyes fell on the Songshan Taoist Temple on the mountainside in the distance: "The prince should also know that although His Majesty has not set a date for when Songshan will be sealed, it should be in August next year...... When the Zen Taishan was sealed, it took three years before and after, and now Songshan has only started for one year, and many wars, now it is on the right track, and it wants to be completed in August next year, and the time is too tight. ”

Li Xuan looked at the Songshan Taoist Temple in the distance, and his face became solemn: "It stands to reason that Yuan Weng opened his mouth for the sake of sealing Zen, and Xuan should have helped him with all his might, but the affairs of those craftsmen, firstly, are not at the disposal of this king, and secondly, the identities of those people are too sensitive." ”

"Sensitive." Yuan Jiazuo didn't understand it for a while.

"Those people, they themselves were convicted because they were involved in the rebellion case of the abolished prince Xianxian, but they were fished out of the criminal department by some people, and now they are involved in the rebellion case of King Yue." Li Xuan looked sideways at Yuan Jiazuo, shook his head, and said, "Yuan Weng, these people, do you really dare to use them in His Majesty's Zen Sealing Ceremony?" ”

Yuan Jiazuo's face suddenly became a little ugly, and then he smiled bitterly and said, "I see, it's the old man who took the liberty of it, thank you for the reminder." ”

"Yuan Weng is polite." After a slight pause, Li Xuan arched his hand and said: "Yuan Weng really needs it now, why don't you wait for Yangzhou, Changzhou and Yuezhou?" ”

Yuan Jiazuo's eyes jumped, he used to be the governor of Hangzhou and Yuezhou, and he knew best how to move things over there.

Yuan Jiazuo immediately arched his hand and said, "Thank you, the old man will go back." ”

"Yuan Weng go slowly!" Li Xuan stood on the top of the mountain, looking at Yuan Jiazuo around the mountain.

It wasn't until Yuan Jiazuo completely disappeared from sight that Li Xuan couldn't help but show a sneer: "It's all for the sake of the mountain." ”

This time, although Yuan Jiazuo covered up many times and inquired carefully, his real intention was to track down behind the scenes.

The matter of Bishan seems to be just because someone sold it to the Xiao family's battle armor and should be beheaded for violating the law.

But in fact, behind Bishan, the entire Changluo Black Market is involved.

I don't know how many people and things are involved.

Wu Chenghe, who has already emerged, is just one of them, and the others and the Wei family are also inevitably affected, and there is also the Du family, which is inevitable at the same time.

If the case of King Yue's rebellion is a huge tornado, then the matter of Bishan is just the edge of being swept away by a tornado.

But if you dig deeper into the back of the mountain, then another dark vortex that is even bigger will appear.

I don't know how many people will be sucked in an instant.

Li Xuan looked in the direction of Chang'an and whispered to himself: "Su Baotong has gone back, so how much can be found out about the matter of Qinling depends on how unlucky Wu Chengsi is." ”
