Chapter 166 A group of old foxes plot against Li Zian(1/2)

Uncle Zhennan wants to treat someone to dinner?

Li Nuo immediately kept an eye on it.

Anyone with a discerning eye can tell at a glance today that Uncle Zhennan is restless and out of state. Now he wants to treat guests to dinner, which may be a bit troublesome.

If you really think about it, he and Uncle Zhennan are not very familiar with each other, so there is no need to wade into this muddy water.

Li Nuo pretended not to understand and said: "Forget it about drinking, I still have to rush back to the Ministry of Justice to be on duty. Uncle Zhennan can just say whatever he needs. If I can help, I will be obliged to do so."

Advance to attack, retreat to defend.

If you can help, you have no obligation to do so. The implication is that if you can't help, you can't do anything...

This is the art of speaking, watertight.

Uncle Zhennan was a little embarrassed.

Indeed, his friendship with Li Nuo really didn't reach that level.

It can be said that whether this matter is small or big depends on the mood of "that person". Therefore, it is not Li Nuo who has to take action.

He could only say shamelessly: "Zian, the thing is like this, I have a nephew named Chu Wangsong, and he accidentally offended the princess..."

"How dare you offend the princess? Is your nephew so arrogant?"

Li Nuo asked pretending to be surprised.

Uncle Zhennan sighed helplessly: "Hey, he is just a fool. He was deceived by others and he didn't know the world. He was sold and helped count money. I was so angry! You know, young people always have a good reputation.

.He is also the suitor of Princess Qingyang, but he listened to the slander. The way of pursuing this pursuit is not so glorious. I don’t know who told the secret, but His Highness Qingyang found out..."

Qingyang has great ambitions, plotting against her? This Chu Wangsong really has no brains.

Li Nuo replied: "His Royal Highness Qingyang is a very independent person. I can't help you with this matter, right?"

Zhen Nanbo waved his hand hurriedly and said: "Everyone knows that His Highness Qingyang is optimistic about Li Zian, and Zian, you helped His Highness frighten Hu Mubai and Lama Zhiqing at the cultural banquet. The princess has a good impression of you. As long as you are willing to come forward, the princess will not

To see the face of a monk, you must also see the face of the Buddha..."

No matter what Zhennanbo said, Li Nuo remained indifferent.

He and Qingyang are now allies, and this matter can indeed be easily resolved with just one sentence.

but!

Why?

Just a few words and a few small kindnesses from Zhennan Bo, and he would add some favors?

He and Uncle Zhennan haven't gotten to know each other well enough yet.

Besides...

That Chu Wangsong was very unfriendly to him!

Li Nuo laughed and said: "Uncle Zhennan is ridiculous. I am just a little person. Princess Qingyang is so high up. How could she condescend to see me? Uncle Zhennan might as well wait for His Highness the Fourth to wake up and beg for mercy. Qingyang and King Qin are brothers and sisters.

This face is much greater than mine."

Uncle Zhennan smiled bitterly and said: "Hey, it's really unfortunate for our family. Anyway, it is indeed a bit difficult. Let's wait until the fourth prince wakes up."

"Don't worry, the princess is magnanimous and won't embarrass Brother Chu too much."

Li Nuo also comforted him.

After he separated from Zhennan Bo, he quickly forgot about it.

Returned to the Ministry of Justice.

But I saw that the faces of the jailers on duty looked a little strange.

"what happened?"

Li Nuo scolded.

"Squad leader, the Chang'an government office sent two more people this morning, a monk and a soldier, and they are currently being held in Jia Prison."

Xiao Liuzi stepped forward and said with a flattering look on his face.

Damn it!

Could it be Chen Cheng, the son of monk Huijue and Chen Shilang?

Isn't this case handled by the government office? Why was it handed over to the Ministry of Punishment again?

Do you really think that the Ministry of Punishment is a garbage recycling station?

Seeing the surprised expression on Li Nuo's face, Xiao Liuzi said cautiously: "Boss, sir, you have also spoken and said that you have full authority to handle this case..."

"Which lord?"

Li Nuo looked unhappy.

The stakes in this case are very high, and it might break the law. Li Nuo's heart is as clear as a mirror.

Xiao Liuzi replied: "Master Fu Yin personally sent the message, and Yu Shangshu also agreed. He also said that this is a test for you. Once you do well, you will be promoted to the sixth rank of the head of the criminal department."

Sure enough, they are all old foxes!

No matter how this case is handled, it will offend people.

Once it is proven that Mrs. Chen stole someone, and the person she stole was a monk, then Sun Changshi and the eldest prince would be completely embarrassed. The more ruthless the method, the "temporary chief judge" would not be let go.

If Mrs. Chen is declared innocent, it means that General Chen Cheng is making trouble unreasonably. Then the crime of leading troops to besiege the temple cannot be washed away. If he is not sentenced to death, he will be exiled for three thousand miles.

"Tell me, sir, I am just a small jailer and do not have the authority to go to court for trial."

Li Nuo refused without hesitation.

Sixth grade leader?

Who is so rare?

Xiao Liuzi pointed to the official document on the case table: "Now that we have it, all the documents have been handed down. Although it is only temporary, you really have the right to review the case."

Li Nuo picked up the document and took a quick look at it. He found that the final seals of the Ministry of Justice and the Ministry of Officials were definitely fake.

Temporary judge.

In the case of the full-time Chen Cheng soldiers surrounding Xiangguo Temple, the three provinces and six ministries of the imperial court had to cooperate.

Li Nuo's eyelids twitched.

Anyone who can get into the position of a fourth-rank official or above in the court is indeed an old fox, so you can catch him and take advantage of him!

Seeing that Li Nuo was indifferent, Xiao Liuzi had no choice but to bite the bullet and continue: "By the way, my lord also said that you have ten days to solve the case, otherwise..."

Li Nuo said expressionlessly: "What else? Behead me?"

Xiao Liuzi said nervously: "The class leader is joking. My lord said... Otherwise, your reputation as Li Zian will be ruined. Once Long Yan becomes angry, it is possible that you will be transferred to guard the imperial mausoleum."

This is really a threat from Chi Guoguo!

Guard the imperial mausoleum?

This is definitely the most thankless chore.

"besides……"

Xiao Liuzi looked embarrassed.

"besides!"

Li Nuo was really angry.

Push your limits!

Do you really think he is made of clay?

Xiao Liuzi said tremblingly: "The adults said that no matter what the truth is, the reputation of Xiangguo Temple cannot be ruined..."

Li Nuo silently put away the documents: "In the next few days, without my order, all the suspects involved will not be given food. They will starve for seven days and nights first."

"I obey, little one!"

Xiao Liuzi was trembling, it was because Li Nuo's aura was too strong.

In fact, the truth is clear at a glance, after all, Li Nuo saw it with his own eyes...

The problem is how to get Huijue to confess while also maintaining the reputation of Xiangguo Temple. This is the difficulty.

torture?

impossible.

Huijue was the chief disciple of Bodhidharma Academy of Xiangguo Temple. Once he was executed, he would be easily involved in the torture and extortion of confessions by public opinion.

No wonder the governor wants to throw this hot potato to the Ministry of Punishment.

No matter how this matter is tried, it will be thankless.

I used to think that Lord Fu Yin was a kind-hearted person and a decent person, but he turned out to be an old yin!

Of course, the most hateful thing is Yu Shangshu.
To be continued...
