Jinluan Palace, the Son of Heaven Dynasty.

The civil and military are divided into left and right classes, the left class is headed by Qiu Rang, the right class and Qiu Taishi, the person who is tall and thin, with a rectangular face and beard, no eyes, and a yellow face like a sick man, is Li Defang, the general who protects the country.

Today, General Li came earlier than Master Qiu, which is really a bit abnormal, and Master Qiu muttered in his heart, guessing that Li Defang must have something to do.

Sure enough, as soon as the Son of Heaven sat down, Li Defang couldn't wait to start playing, and his expression was very indignant!

He said: "Your Majesty, it is really appalling and outrageous! In the Wanmu Temple of Muqi Mountain in Chengdu Prefecture, all the monks in the temple were brutally killed!"

The first to be surprised was Taishi Qiu and He Zhuowen, and Weng and his son-in-law glanced at each other and listened to the following.

The Son of Heaven was also shocked and said, "Do you know what the murderer did?"

Li Defang squinted at He Zhuowen, the servant of the ministry, and then at Taishi Qiu, and both of them felt bad in their hearts!

Li Defang said: "The murderer is He Zhuowu, the second son of the He family in Longyou County!"

The Son of Heaven and Taishi Qiu were even more shocked, and He Zhuowen also raised his eyebrows slightly when he heard it, his eyes were full of disbelief, but he returned to normal in an instant.

The Son of Heaven asked, "General Li, as far as I know, the murderer you are talking about is He Shilang's own brother?"

"Exactly!" Li Defang sighed, "I didn't expect He Shilang to be a humble gentleman, and his younger brother turned out to be a ......."

"General Li!" Taishi Qiu interrupted Li Defang and asked, "With such a big case, why didn't the old man hear any news before?"

"Oh, that's the case, Cai Wenbin, the commander of Longyou County, happens to be a distant relative of mine, and he sent a book to me after the incident......

Taishi Qiu nodded and said, "Yes, yes, the old man remembered, Cai Wenbin is the uncle and nephew of your ninth aunt's uncle and uncle!"

Li Defang rolled his eyes and sighed: "Is it? If you want to say that the Taishi has a good memory, I can't remember it myself!"

Taishi Qiu's face suddenly darkened, and he said in a deep voice: "The serious case of murder should be reported to the Criminal Department, why did General Li want to go beyond his authority and inquire into the case of the Criminal Department?"

Li Defang said: "That's right, it shouldn't have been told by me, but this case involves the relatives of important ministers in the court, and it's understandable for me to care about it! Besides, all the saints are worried, and I, Li Defang, am worried, and as a minister, shouldn't this be the case?"

The Son of Heaven nodded and said, "Well, Li Aiqing is very relieved to share my worries for me! Taishi, don't blame him anymore! Let's talk about this case! Is it already decided?"

Li Defang said: "Your Excellency, He Zhuowu was in Maozhou yesterday, and was caught by Hao Yitong, the head catcher sent by the Criminal Department to arrest the bandit Fu Enqiu, and today he will be sent to the Longyou County Ya, and the trial will start on a later date, and I believe that the case will be decided soon!"

Taishi Qiu snorted coldly: "Since the trial has not yet begun, why should you say that He Zhuowu is the murderer?"

Li Defang said: "Although it has not been tried, according to Cai Zhixian, the evidence is conclusive, and there is no way to deny it!"

The Son of Heaven was also a little displeased, and said: "Li Aiqing, the case has not yet been decided, how can you be charged with a crime? Since you know that the matter is very important, you should be even more cautious when you speak!"

Li De hurriedly said: "The saint is angry, and the micro-minister knows his mistake!"

The Son of Heaven sighed and said, "This Wanmu Temple is really full of disasters and difficulties, I remember that when I first ascended to the Great Treasure, the Wanmu Temple was slaughtered, and I don't want to destroy the door again today!

Taishi Qiu said: "Your Excellency, Weichen thinks that this case is serious, and it should not be hasty, and the suspect should be sent to Jingshi and handed over to the Criminal Department, Dali Temple, and Yushitai for trial!"

The Son of Heaven nodded, but listened to Li De's release: "Your Majesty, Weichen thinks it's inappropriate!"

The Son of Heaven asked, "What's wrong?"

Li Defang said: "I think that those who can kill all the monks of Wanmu Temple must be extremely martial arts and ruthless! Longyou is far away from the capital, and there are fears of complications on the road, so it is more appropriate to transfer experienced and capable officials from the vicinity of Longyou to try it!"

"Ridiculous!" Taishi Qiu reprimanded angrily, "I have never had a precedent for transferring officials from other places to their posts to try cases, and if you want to be transferred, you will send people from the capital!"

The Son of Heaven groaned slightly, and said, "In this way, let the three divisions send experts to Longyou to participate in the trial, what do you think?"

All the ministers are holy and wise!

When asked if there was anything else, Zuo Ban walked out of a young civil official and said, "Please play if you have something to do!"

The Son of Heaven saw that it was He Zhuowen and asked, "He Aiqing, what's the matter?"

He Zhuowen said: "My brother is involved in such a big case, and Weichen, as a brother, really can't stay out of the matter, I hope Your Majesty will allow Weichen to return to his hometown for trial." ”

The Son of Heaven nodded and said: "This is also human nature, I not only let you listen to the trial, but also give you the position of supervisor, so that no matter what the result is, you should have no regrets!"

He Zhuowen thanked the Holy Grace!

The Son of Heaven said again: "Don't be busy thanking you! I haven't finished speaking, with your identity, you must be avoided, but I know that you are fair and selfless, I hope you don't want to disappoint me this time, but let the world gossip about me!"

He Zhuowen bowed again: "Weichen will live up to the grace of God!"

"Holy Lord!" Li Defang said again, "If He Shilang goes to be a supervisor, it is advisable to set up another supervisor to restrain him, so as to block the mouths of Youyou!"

Taishi Qiu cross-examined: "The Holy One trusted He Shilang to make such an arrangement, do you doubt He Shilang or do you doubt the Holy One?"

Li De hurriedly bowed to the Son of Heaven: "The saint, the minister has no such intention, the minister has this suggestion, it is also for the name of the saint and the reputation of He Shilang!"

The Son of Heaven waved his hand to him: "Get up, Li Aiqing! There is no harm in having one more supervisor, I am ready! Is there a candidate?"

"The new infantry army is in command of Duan Shanyue, and he is upright, so he can take on this position!"

The Son of Heaven asked, "Is Commander Duan here?"

"Weichen is here!" walked out of Duan Shan at the end of the right shift.

Duan Shanyue has been very valued by Li De over the years, and his official fortune has been prosperous, and he has been the commander of the Wupin Infantry Army, which can be regarded as a smooth progress!

The Son of Heaven said: "You are a military general, but Li Aiqing recommended you to be a literary errand this time, can you do it?"

"Although Weichen is a military general, I engrave the words of the law in my heart, and then I do my duty to be impartial, and Weichen thinks he has done it!" Duan Shanyue has been in the officialdom for many years, and he seems to be able to speak more than before!

The Son of Heaven nodded in approval: "Well, that's very good! Let's do it, and ask He Shilang for advice in case of trouble!"

Duan Shanyue said: "Weichen obeys the order!"

When the Son of Heaven asked again if there was any initiation, no one answered, and he was about to ask the chief of the chamberlain and Guixuan to retire from the court, when he remembered something and asked Li Defang: "Li Aiqing, I heard that a few days ago, I took another concubine room?"

"Uh...... If you return to the Holy Lord, yes! Thank you for your concern!" Li De was relieved to beat the drum, because the Son of Heaven rarely asked about the household affairs of his subordinates.

The Son of Heaven asked, "I heard that this concubine was originally a married woman, but you forced the husband to divorce his wife, but is there such a thing?"

Li Defang pounced again: "Holy Lord! There is no such thing! It's just because that lady only loves Wei Chen, and her man sees that he has no affection, so he voluntarily takes a break! This must be a malicious frame-up by someone, looking at the Holy Master!"

The Son of Heaven asked Li De to put it up, and said: "Of course there can't be such a thing! What kind of system does a dignified general who protects the country rob his wife by force, and it spreads out? Is there a bigger ugly thing than this? However, her ex-husband's form was handed to me, and I can't pretend not to see it, since you say that she is in love with you, let her go and explain it to her ex-husband, and settle the matter!"

"Weichen obeys the order!" Li De let out a cold sweat!

"Anyway, what room is this?" the Son of Heaven suddenly asked again.

"...... The eighteenth room ......" Li Defang himself seemed to find it difficult to speak.

Sure enough, the Son of Heaven frowned and said: "Li Aiqing, you are also in your fifties, let's stop in moderation! Marrying a wife and taking a concubine, and not leading troops to fight the war should be more and better, don't look at my three palaces and six courts, in fact, I am very distressed! In my opinion, the number of double nine is just right, don't pay it again in the future! Take care of your health, I still expect you to serve the court for a few more years!"

Li De was relieved to be sad, and he could only say: "The saint is wise! Weichen obeys the order! Lao Shengshang is bothered!"

"Alas, I'm just a hard worker! Guys, let me save my worries! Retreat from the court!"

......

Out of the Jinluan Palace, Li Defang took Yuan Qing, the household servant who had just spread his short legs and was about to trot, to the corner next to the hall.

Li De asked angrily: "How did you get it? Didn't you say that it was done properly? You actually stabbed it to the Holy Lord! Do you still want to sit on the seat of the head of the household?"

Yuan Qing looked bitter and said: "Xia Guan didn't expect it, obviously he had already moved his household registration into the capital, and he also bought him a house, and gave him enough silver, he didn't have to worry about food and clothing in this life, or Xia Guan personally supervised it, he was a master who saw money, why did he sue the emperor?"

Li De pondered for a while, snorted and said, "Sue the royal court...... He was so easy for a cloth-clothed common man to sue the royal court? There must have been someone who instigated him to help him, and he was uncomfortable looking for this general!

"The general is talking about Qiu ......"

"Except for that old man, who has the guts!"

"Old thief Qiu's heart is so vicious! Fortunately, the saint did not blame the general!"

"You know what a fart! Don't let General Ben ask for a concubine, it's like inflicting palace punishment on General Ben! This time it's really for a tree, and I lost the whole forest! The gains outweigh the losses, the gains outweigh the losses......

Yesterday I went hunting in the eastern suburbs, and met a little woman on the road, that look, that figure, so that the general couldn't sleep at night, just now I was thinking about how to get her into the house, now it's okay, it's all gone!"

General Li's remarks, even Yuan Qing couldn't accept it after hearing it, and persuaded him: "Women, just get them to spend the Spring Festival, why do you have to marry into the mansion and ask for trouble?"

"Smack!" Li De gave Yuan Qing a loud big mouth and scolded: "Are you the general who is the general?

Yuan Qing's right face instantly swollen and high, and he hurriedly covered his face to apologize: "The general is angry!

Li Defang sighed and said: "Let's settle the matter in front of us first! The saint asked me to let Xiao Eighteen go and explain it to her ex-husband, I'm afraid I can't! Since I entered the house, I have been crying every day, and I still haven't rested yet! I still have to think about that kid, the bitter master is gone, and this matter will naturally be gone!"

"The general means ......" Yuan Qing made a "cut" gesture with his hand.

"Smack!" Li Defang slapped Yuan Qing on the left side of the face again, now the two sides are equal, and people are a lot more festive!

Li Defang scolded again: "Stupid! If he dies at this moment, the basin will not be detained on my head? I just let you think of getting him away, and don't go and make trouble for the saint again!"

Yuan Qing covered his face with his hands and replied in a loud voice: "The lower official understands, understands!

Li Defang shook his head and walked away!
