The sunlight that came in through the sill window made Li Dan feel comfortable. It was getting cold, and the officials put braziers in the house, and some people brought new clips from home to be served, and it was not cold last night.

As the sun rose, the light shone in, making the room warmer and warmer. However, Li Dan didn't enjoy it for long, because curious faces kept appearing and looking inside.

He heard someone whispering outside: "Mother, you are so bold that you actually arrested him!" ”

"Hey, is it really him? Don't they all say that his eyes are like copper bells and his arms are as thick as big trees, I think he is a tall Yanei, nothing amazing! ”

"You're not convinced? How about going and having a trick with him? ”

"Hey, don't provoke me with words, you have the ability to go together!"

Li Dan smiled and coughed his throat vigorously: "Outside, thirsty, can there be wine?" ”

In an instant, several faces were pasted in front of the window: "The master is awake?" ”

"Sir, this wine is not very easy to handle, but there is good tea, and the small Hun family fried it themselves." A man with a stubble on his face smiled and said, "Would you like to make a pot of hot water for you to taste?" ”

"Huh? Okay, then try it! ”

A few faces immediately disappeared again, and the footsteps that had been muttering outside for a while faded away.

After half a cup of tea, he came back one after another, someone unlocked and pushed the door, and a cell boss came in with a small square table: "Master, the little ones are all rough here, you will use them." ”

Someone else put in two square stools, and then the big stubble came in with a huge clay pot with a big grin, and someone behind him held a tray with a brown glazed bowl in it.

Big Stubble scooped some tea soup with a bamboo bucket to fill most of the bowl, and the house was suddenly filled with the fragrance of tea.

"Good fragrant tea!" Li Dan cheered, felt his stomach scream, and was just about to speak, when he saw a catcher come in with two plates of dim sum and put them on the table with a smile.

"Master, are you hungry? You use it first. The Qin family's porridge shop opposite, as soon as I said it was for you, the old couple was very flattering and refused to even ask for money! ”

Li Dan couldn't laugh or cry when he heard it, and knew that this guy must be pulling the tiger's skin to make a big banner, and he used his name to press others to contribute.

But at this time, it was inconvenient to poke it in public, so I only smiled and nodded and hugged my fists to everyone, thanked everyone first, and then sat down to eat snacks with tea.

After eating four pieces in a row, I felt at ease, and I picked up the fifth piece and asked, "What time is it?" ”

"Back to my grandfather, it's been two quarters." Big Stubble replied. Li Dan could see that this guy was about the highest level among everyone.

"All at this hour?" Li Dan frowned and looked out the window: "What, no one came to mention me?" ”

"Uh......," the big guy in the room glared, clasped his hands or hugged his shoulders, and finally replied with a big stubble:

"Master, we are the government here, and we have no authority to try your case. The old men of the procuratorate also said that it was a temporary detention, what is the charter behind it...... Didn't say anything.

Our lord also sighed, he said that he would wait until he retired from the hall and then find you to accompany him, I think it will be difficult for him! ”

"Huh?" Li Dan was confused: "Is he here to accompany the prisoner, where does this start?" ”

"You're not a prisoner yet, at most you're a suspect." The cell boss who carried the table said.

"Don't interrupt!" Big Stubble waved his hand, and then said, "You have to bear with me, it's not our master's idea to detain you here." The procuratorate said that you have filed a case and have not yet been formally convicted, so it is not appropriate to detain them with them.

I wanted to send it to the Metropolitan Command Embassy, but they said that if you don't bring troops now, you won't be under the control of that side, and you will also say the same thing when you send it to the Political Envoy Division, so I finally forced it here.

No one in my family can afford to offend the adults and officials, not to mention that in the end, it was Zuo Bu's political envoy Shi Shuai who made the decision, saying that it would be handled for the time being, so ...... That's it. ”

"Oh! Are you saying that in order to do this, you actually alarmed the adults of a province? ”

"But no, my lord only came back last night, and he sighed for a long time!" The young catcher quickly interjected.

This made Li Dan even more confused, since it was the procuratorate that came forward and arrested them, why didn't anyone dare to take it?

If this crime is confirmed, it will be a great credit! Is there a reason why the wealth in front of you will make people avoid it?

How did he know that last night, the gossip that Wing Longwei began to investigate the matter had spread in Nanchang officialdom.

Everyone who heard the news was shocked, and the sensitive immediately understood that this must be Li Dan's side with the people sent by His Majesty to protect him secretly.

In this way, it's no wonder that everyone doesn't hide from this!

"How do I feel like I'm a hot potato?" Li Dan was dissatisfied: "Everyone has been arrested, but they are all hiding from this case, so how long do I have to stay in this place?" ”

"Don't worry, you can stay here for as long as you want!" Big Stubble waved his hand: "It is a privilege for the villains to be able to serve you." What do you need, just say, if there is a family to visit the villain, bring it in, eat and drink Xiaohu to run, and you are satisfied! ”

"Bag ......." Li Dan wanted to say, "Wrap your head", but the words came to his lips: "But this tea is really good, your daughter-in-law's craftsmanship is quite good!" Wait for the master to go out, ask the merchant group to purchase to your house, and I will collect as many as I want! ”

The big stubble scratched his ears and cheeks with joy: "Don't worry, the little ones will try their best to flatter, and they will never disappoint you!" ”

"Yes, if you come, you will be safe!" Li Dan patted his knee: "I'll watch how they will continue to play in the next play?" Hey, bearded, what do you call it? ”

"Su Hu, the villain's name is Su Hu, and he is the head of the mansion." Big Stubble hurriedly replied, and said: "King Zhou Tianwang of Guixian County knows the villain, and we have handled the case together!" ”

"yes, that's great!" Li Dan laughed, and asked the names of several other people, the young man quickly said that his name was Hu Xiang, ranked seventh, and as he spoke, Li Dan saw his hand and gestured a few numbers, his heart moved, and he smiled:

"When I came in, I don't know what happened to the scholar who came with me? Trouble Hu Qige to go to Sihaiju to see if Ah Mao has returned to Yu Gan? ”

"Okay, okay, no problem. Do you have any other commands? Hu Xiang nodded hurriedly.

"You take this jade and send some silver money to the Qin family on the other side, I don't know how long it will take to be here, and I will trouble his family to make a meal and send it in these days."

"This ......," Hu Xiang was a little embarrassed: "Master, you seem to be worth a lot of money, too much!" How can you use so much food? ”

"Don't worry, you buy some pens, ink, paper, inkstones, and put the opposite table and chair by the window, I want to write and paint, and I don't have to carry the table around when I have to eat."

Let's sort out and sort out here, don't let the government look too shabby, right? Li Dan said and turned to the big stubble:

"Su Dutou, please help me pay attention to it, and report any news related to this case to me in time!" He commanded these men as if they were his own men, and he was not at all polite.

Hu Xiang walked down the street, saw that no one was paying attention and turned into an alley, turned around and came to a secluded street, glanced left and right, a seller of pear paste candy was carrying a burden to the bridge, and there was no one else.

He quickly walked across the street into the alley opposite, turned a corner, and knocked on a door. After a while, a woman came to open the door, Hu Xiang flashed in, and the door closed silently again.

After a dozen breaths, Hu Xiang jumped through the gap in the wall into the courtyard next to him.

A middle-aged man who was watering the vegetable furrow looked up at him, nodded, put down the bucket in his hand, led him to the door of a house, drove away the sleeping cat at the door, knocked on the door a few times, and said, "Xiao Qi is here." ”

There was an "um" sound inside, Hu Xiang pushed the door in, and saw a man in short clothes and a scholar standing in the room, and stepped forward to the man and said, "Xiao Qi has seen Mr. Iron Knife!" ”

After Li Tiedao was defeated by Yang He, he was ordered to shift his focus to Nanchang. He stepped forward and helped: "Sit down and talk, can you see the lord?" ”

"Yes." Hu Xiang took out his finger from his arms, told him about the situation he saw Li Dan in the house this morning, and then talked about what he knew about the case.

Li Tiedao turned to the scholar: "Mr. Maocai, what do you see?" ”

Wu Mao's eyes were bloodshot, after hearing the news, he discussed countermeasures with Master Ba and Han An overnight, and arranged them overnight, and arrived by morning steamer without sleep. "The captains of the Pterodactyl Guard have also arrived in Nanchang," he said.

However, they will not disclose their identities for the time being, and will secretly investigate and verify the situation first.

Now it seems that Saburo's safety is not too much of a problem, and of course it should not be taken lightly. Seventh Brother has a lot of connections in the yamen, so I have to trouble you to take care of this aspect. ”

"No problem!" Hu Xiang nodded: "If the two gentlemen need to send me a message, go to the old Qin's steamed bun shop opposite the mansion and let Lao Qin tell me." ”

"Okay, I got it!" Wu Mao nodded. He told him to wait a moment, then went into the house, and came back in a moment and handed him a wad of tickets and a few loose pieces of silver:

"Here are fifteen taels, you take it back and use it, and tell people that you can sell it, so as not to be suspicious." After speaking, let him put it away, and then instructed:

"If all the yamen are unwilling to get involved in this troubled water, then the people behind the scenes are in a hurry, and sooner or later they will jump out and point fingers, you have to pay more attention.

San Lang said that this incident was ostensibly aimed at him, but in fact, he wanted to take the opportunity to accuse Sang and scold Huai, to say that the emperor was willful and lacked the wisdom to know people, ruined His Majesty's reputation, and increased the distrust of His Majesty among the courtiers.

This kind of thinking is not good for the stability of the country, it is completely selfish and has ulterior motives! We, the Chashan Society, will never allow this kind of conspiracy to succeed, and we must dig out the people behind the scenes!

This time, Saburo may suffer some grievances, and the brothers may face danger or even lose their lives, but as long as the country is stable and our villagers, relatives, and children can live a stable life, it will be worth it.

Seventh brother, tell the brothers in Nanchang that this is not only Li Sanlang's personal matter, but also a major matter related to the people of the world! ”

Hu Xiang took a deep breath, and then he understood why so many chiefs refused to detain Li Dan in his yamen, because he was worried that the immortals would fight and affect themselves!

"Remember the lowly duty, and the lowly duty will go back and explain it clearly to the brothers, and everyone will pay attention to it, and never let go of any clues!"

"Lord Politics, things are a little difficult to do!" Hong Da was full of embarrassment and complained to Tang Xuan:

"Now although this Li Dan has been won, all the yamen have avoided it and no one wants to mess with it, I am worried that Lord Lin will waver again and refuse to try this case, then it will be ......."

"What are you panicking about? In the end, are you the imperial history, or is Li Dan the imperial history? Tang Xuan criticized him dissatisfied:

"Last time, you dared to impeach him when he held the military power and was in the sixth rank, but now he is just a showman, why are you trembling? Just because I heard that the emperor liked him, everyone didn't dare to touch it, and then what? Are you ready to go with the flow? ”

"Huh!" Hong Danian flicked his sleeves: "Hong is dedicated to the country, if he just wants to take a tailwind, then why take Li Su's case?" He sighed:

"You know that last time Lord Lin was ordered to reprimand the lower official, the lower official promised him to find evidence and report it as soon as possible. If no evidence can be found this time, Hong will die without a place to be buried! ”

"Don't worry! I have asked privately, and Li Su has made a capital this time. He sent four people back to his hometown, and he had already figured out the situation. As he spoke, he took out an envelope from his sleeve and handed it over:

"This is the name, appearance characteristics, place of residence and general resume of the person involved, you only need to transcribe it and submit it to the procuratorate, and ask Lord Lin to send people out to bring people to Nanchang, won't the rest of the matter be much easier?"

Hong Danian was overjoyed, thanked him again and again, and said: "With the assistance of adults, the lower officials can no longer handle this case, so they have to go home and farm!" ”

Hong Danian said goodbye, and the sedan chair turned three times and two times into a teahouse. He got off the sedan chair in the mezzanine, went to the side door and went up to the second floor, and saw Wang Jishan smiling in a private room.

"How?" Wang Jishan asked with a smile.

"Ji Shan is right, he really has something here." After Hong Danian finished speaking, he took out the paper in the envelope and looked at it with Wang Jishan.

"Well, some of these are the same as what we have, and some of them can be supplemented. Very good! Wang Jishan was very satisfied with it, and handed the paper back:

"You see, a multi-pronged approach will be used to turn this case into ironclad evidence! I don't believe that I can't defeat him, even in front of the emperor, I'm afraid he can't say anything. ”

"I didn't expect Tang Xuan to really help Li Su like this." Hong Danian said.

"He's not helping Li Su, he's helping you, Lord Zheng, and Jinghu, understand?"

"Oh, I see!" Hong Danian nodded.

"To help the Jinghu Department is to help His Highness," Wang Jishan sneered: "Even if Tang Xuan claims that he is upright and honest, as long as he helps the Jinghu Department, it doesn't matter whether he has taken refuge in His Highness or not." ”

"Understood, the lower official understood. However, ......, it is naturally more trustworthy for Xia Guan to be dedicated to His Royal Highness! ”

Wang Jishan laughed: "Naturally, don't worry about this, Your Highness knows it very well in your heart!" As he spoke, he patted Hong Danian's forearm and said in a low voice: "Your Highness has already selected a piece of rich and good land for you, one hundred and fourteen acres." ”

"The minister is afraid, thank Your Highness! This time, we will not rush to open the trial, and we will do our best to make it an ironclad case! ”

"Yes!" They drank a glass of tea instead of wine, wishing this success this time.

A teahouse is a place for people to meet friends and chat, and it needs to be open and have a certain amount of privacy when necessary. The private room can be divided into different parts with a casement door area, or it can be pushed open to open the two sides.

To ensure privacy, most tea houses use two partitions to minimise sound interference. The surface of this balsa structure is covered with thick mulberry paper, which can indeed play a good sound insulation effect.

But if you open a small gap in the door on the other side, listen carefully, and the voice next door can still be heard more or less.

Li Tiedao didn't speak, and stretched out his hand to the opposite side. The attendant who was recording immediately dropped the clips with quill handwriting one by one.

After Li Tiedao finished reading it, he listened to the words next door, and his face showed a hint of ridicule. "That's enough, let's go!" After a brief remark, he took the piece of paper off and put it in his arms, closed the clip and got up.

The attendant had gently pushed the door shut, closed it together, plugged the inkwell, put it in the pocket under his coat with the pen, stuffed the clip into a straw basket, and followed him quickly.

Some people died, but not completely......
