Chapter 118: Xu Yougong
After the envoy left, Li Jing thought about how to make the other party bow his head and willingly borrow troops from him, only in this way could he justifiably station his soldiers and horses in Zhangxiong.
While slowly encroaching on Tibet, he sent people to spread and educate the Zhangxiong people, so that they could take the initiative to learn and use and advocate the writing, system, and etiquette of the Tang Dynasty.
Let them feel that being able to be loyal to Datang is a lifetime, and even the glory of their family for generations, completely integrate into Datang, become a member of Datang, and contribute to the prosperity of Datang!
At this moment, a eunuch trotted in from outside, crossed his hands and saluted:
"Qiyu Regent, supervise the imperial history Wan Guojun report, the two brothers of Daozhou Assassin Li Renfu intended to rebel, and they have been seen through, Li Renfu brothers and their families have also been arrested, Wan Guojun asked for the order to kill Li Xingfu and the nine clans!"
Wan Guojun?
The cool official activated by the Empress Wu was appointed by the Empress Wu to supervise the imperial history, and the Empress Wu sent him to inspect the world and punish lawbreakers.
After Li Jing defeated Chang'an, Wan Guojun even went down to the table, expressing his willingness to serve Li Jing!
In addition to being shameless, the cool officials of the martial arts are shameless, there are few who have real talent and real learning, most of them are scoundrels in the market, relying on false accusations of others to obtain official positions, can they not desperately falsely accuse others in exchange for glory and wealth?
As for Wan Guojun's recital, Li Jing's reply was: "Give Wan Guojun's recital to the Criminal Department, since Li Renfu is guilty, there should also be the Criminal Department to review it!"
"How to sentence, the Criminal Department has its own judgment, if Li Renbao really has the intention of rebellion, he should be punished!"
"Whoa!"
The eunuch was ordered to retreat.
"Ximen Yang, how do you say you can make the Zhangxiong envoy speak?"
Li Jing sat sideways on the main seat and asked Ximen Yang on the side.
"This old slave doesn't know, but the old slave doesn't know if to say something?"
Ximen Yang said respectfully.
Li Jing said: "But it doesn't hurt to say it! ”
"The old slave thinks that it is better to invite the Zhangxiong envoy to hunt, so that the Zhangxiong envoy knows that our army is strong, and he will definitely be deterred by the power of our army, and he will be convinced, and he will definitely open his mouth when the time comes!"
Ximen Yang said.
Li Jing didn't say anything after listening to it, Ximenyang's proposal was a bad idea in Li Jing's opinion, and the reason why the Zhangxiong envoy didn't borrow troops from Datang was because he didn't want Datang to become the second Tubo!
What they want is to take back everything from Zhangxiong, not to drive away the jackals and usher in the tigers!
If the Zhangxiong envoy saw the strength of the Tang army, it would only frighten them to dare not open their mouths to borrow troops, but it was still okay to invite the Zhangxiong envoy to hunt, but it was necessary to change the way and method.
This needs to be planned carefully, and Li Jing plans to talk to Liu Bowen to see if there is a way to solve this problem.
……
Xu Yougong read the file of Li Renbao's brothers, and felt that there was something strange about it, saying that Li Renbao had the intention of rebellion, but it was just Wan Guojun's words, and it was not enough to be believed!
The testimony on the file is full of loopholes, and there is no substantive evidence to prove that the Li Renfu brothers conspired against them, and with Xu Yougong's understanding of the cool officials, they are all extremely poor in character, and they will do everything to achieve their goals!
Hacking others, the cool officials don't do less, as long as they don't like it, or don't match their minds, they won't care if you're innocent or not.
You will be punished for the great crime of rebellion, all of them will be killed, all the other party's property will be confiscated, and all these family properties will fall into the hands of the cool officials.
Relying on such improper deeds to achieve the purpose of making a fortune, this way to make money is fast, and it is very easy!
Xu Yougong decided to retry Li Renfu's case, and since he wanted to overturn the retrial, he naturally had to report to Li Jing first and explain why he wanted to overturn the retrial.
Xu Yougong picked up the pen and was about to write down the notes, but was seen by his colleagues who came back from outside.
"Xu Langzhong, what are you doing here?"
The colleague asked.
"I'm writing a note to the regent, requesting a retrial of Li Renfu's case, which is likely to be falsely accused!"
Xu Yougong worked hard to write and answer questions from colleagues.
"I heard that this matter was done by a cool official, this Daozhou assassin Li Renbao, and even more of the Tang Dynasty, the regent didn't say anything, doesn't this mean anything?"
"Some things are not up to you and me, it's better to follow the trend, sometimes it's not a bad thing to turn a blind eye, why be so unkind!"
Colleagues persuaded Xu Yougong to give up the performance, and closed the case according to the words of the cool official, so as not to get into trouble, Li Renfu is a Tang clan, and even the regent has no objection, which is enough to explain the problem.
Xu Yougong didn't care about him at all, Xu Yougong was a strict law-abiding and upright official, how could he be in the same league with Zhou Xing and others, if even he didn't abide by the law, this Datang would be over!
"Why are you so brainless, don't you want to die? If you offend those cool officials like this, aren't you afraid of causing death? ”
My colleagues have never seen someone as stubborn as Xu Yougong, do you really think that those cool officials don't dare to do anything to you? Even if you don't think about yourself, you should think about your family!
"Am I the only one in the world who will die? Is it also a sin for me to uphold the law of the court so that it can be just and impartial? ”
"No matter how great the power of Datang private is, it can't be greater than the law, I died as a law enforcement and law protector, there's nothing to be sorry about!"
Xu Yougong ignored the advice of his colleagues, and quickly wrote a good song, and after writing it, he sent it out, and now he just needs to wait for Li Jing's reply.
I never thought that this piece of music had not yet reached Li Jing's hands, but it was detained by Zhou Xing, Zhou Xing's face turned blue after seeing it, Wan Guojun was his comrade, and he instructed him to frame Li Renbao for rebellion.
It's good now, Xu Yougong actually asked for a new trial, which is not equivalent to slapping him Zhou Xing in the face, if Xu Yougong overturns the case, then where is his Zhou Xing's face?
So, Zhou Xing found Xu Yougong, and Zhou Xing didn't talk nonsense with Xu Yougong, and went straight to the point: "I heard that you asked the regent to overturn the case for Li Renfu?" ”
"Li Renfu is not guilty in the first place, how can it be said that the case has been overturned? I'm just innocent of the wronged!"
Xu Yougong looked at Zhou Xing's ugly face and said.
"Li Ren's conspiracy against the case was decided by Dali Temple, and it has already been determined, how can it be overturned and retried because of your words?"
Zhou Xing was very dissatisfied with Xu Yougong's attitude.
"The two brothers of Daozhou Assassin Li Xingbao are just practicing martial arts and arrows, how can it be said that they are rebelling, isn't this framing others, this is a wrong verdict!"
"Since it is a wrong verdict, my criminal department naturally has the power to correct it, the law is just and selfless, and it will never slander a good person, and it will not let go of a bad person!"
Xu Yougong argues on the basis of reason, as a judicial official, he has always fulfilled his duties and strictly upheld the fairness of the law!
Xu Yougong's words completely angered Zhou Xing, Xu Yougong is still so ignorant, do you really think I can't kill you?
I don't know what to lift, I talk to you with good words, but you are stubborn like a cow, if you have to get along with someone in my week, then don't blame me for being unkind to you!
"I advise you to think about it, don't be impulsive, mistake yourself for life, meritorious, you still have a lot of good future, why be so uninteresting?"
"If you are interested, I Zhou Xing will promise again that you can be promoted step by step within a year, wouldn't it be better, I just want you to think clearly, don't be confused for a while, and do things that you will regret for life!"
"Our colleagues, I'm also doing this for your good, and you don't want your family to suffer because of you!"
Zhou Xing sneered, his tone full of warnings and threats.
"Thank you Director Zhou for your care, even if I don't have a black veil on my head and no head, I can't let an innocent person suffer an injustice!"
Xu Yougong showed his attitude, even if he died, he would uphold the justice of the law, and he would rather die than tend to be inflammatory!
At this moment, Zhou Xing was furious, after saying so much, Xu Yougong was still so stubborn, he would have been able to understand it a long time ago if he had replaced others, why didn't he cherish his life?
But Zhou Xing still had to continue to work hard, Zhou Xing said coldly: "Li Renfu and the Wei family are in-laws, and they have always been close to the abolished Wei family, and the Wei family was abolished and sent to the cold palace, won't they resent the regent?" ”
"Today, they practice martial arts and arrows, it is difficult to guarantee that he will not raise an army to rebel in the future, if they rebel in the future, the regent will blame it, you and I will not be able to get rid of each other, why not take precautions and convict them of rebellion!"
Xu Yougong naturally understood the meaning of Zhou Xing's words, he read the book of sages, and since he was a child, he was determined to be a clean official who upholds law and discipline, is fair and honest, even if the road ahead is difficult, he will not forget his original intention!
Let Zhou Xing's tongue be like a spring, he Xu Yougong is unmoved, the eldest husband has something to do, and he doesn't do anything!
Even if he was crushed in the end, he Xu Yougong did not regret today's decision.
Looking at the hesitant Xu Yougong, Zhou Xing showed a smile, if Xu Yougong can come to his senses, it will not be in vain for me to persuade him.
"If it is because of the practice of martial arts and arrows, it will be judged that there is rebellion, and who in the world will dare to practice martial arts and arrows in the future? If practicing martial arts and arrows can be convicted of rebellion, why is it that day? Where is the law? ”
"If the verdict of the case is based on people's imagination, then what do you want the Criminal Department, Dali Temple, and Yushitai to do? What do you want us people to do? Director Zhou doesn't need to say much, this case must be retried, this is a matter for the Criminal Department, and it has nothing to do with your Criminal Prison Division!"
"I still have important things to do, so I won't leave Director Zhou!"
Xu Yougong crossed his hands and saluted.
Zhou Xing is angry, this Xu Yougong is really a stubborn donkey, what a waste of his tongue.
"Good! Very good! Since you have to get along with me, then don't blame me for participating in your copy in front of the regent! We'll see!"
Zhou Xingyi flicked his sleeves, put his hands behind his back, turned around and left the criminal department, he went to sue Xu Yougong for colluding with the rebellious Li Renbao, and asked the regent to execute Xu Yougong!
Xu Yougong glanced at Zhou Xing, and he wanted to go to Li Jing's mansion to explain the situation to Li Jing in person.
