Chapter 328 Another pavilion leader is executed! His physique is extraordinary!
"Ask me... Changsun clan!"
After confirming the connection between Shang Gong and this case, Li Yan brought up the current top priority case. Ming Chongyan was shocked after hearing this: "If it is really the Changsun family, then Shang Gong, as an old man in the inner guard, is likely to be involved with them
They are in the same group."
Li Yan nodded: "Changsun Wuji is not only the third chief of the inner guard. When the inner guard was first established, the first chief of the inner guard was his father, Changsun Sheng. The middle chief, Pei Ju, was more of a transitional figure. The elders inside and outside served as his
It’s perfectly normal to use..."
Having said this, he paused for a moment, and his face became slightly solemn.
Ming Chongyan thought of another thing: "To be honest with Liulang, my Ming family is also a local rich family. In the past, my aunt had intended to join the eldest grandson's family!"
Li Yan put aside his distracting thoughts and raised his eyebrows: "Who are you planning to marry?"
Ming Chongyan smiled bitterly and said: "It's a bit embarrassing to say that it's not a marriage, but a concubine to the eldest grandson Chong."
Li Yanqi asked: "Is Changsun Chong the consort?"
Ming Chongyan said: "Yes, Changsun Chong is the legitimate son of Changsun Wuji. In the seventh year of Zhenguan, he married Princess Changle, the eldest daughter of Emperor Taizong."
Princess Changle was also born to Empress Changsun, so she was a cousin. However, in ancient times, there were many cases of cousins getting married. For example, if Li Zhi and Empress Wang really talk about their relationship, they are also cousins, but their blood relationship is far apart.
Li Yan recalled for a moment, and then he remembered the daughter that Li Shimin loved so much: "Princess Changle is loved by all, she is virtuous and gentle, has a good reputation, and is not jealous.
Competing for favor is obviously unwise, is it something that happened after she died of illness?"
Princesses of the Tang Dynasty are not easy to get along with. Even if Princess Changle is taught by Empress Changsun and manages the family with courtesy and respects etiquette and trustworthiness, who dares to become a concubine for the prince-in-law and compete with the princess for favor?
The Ming family is a wealthy local family, and there is no reason to do such stupid things.
Ming Chong nodded: "Yes, in the seventeenth year of Zhenguan, Princess Changle died young, and the prince-in-law did not remarry, but there was no problem in taking concubines. At that time, a matchmaker mentioned our family, and the eldest grandson was in great prosperity at that time, but my grandfather was still worried.
You ruined your reputation and didn't agree."
He breathed a sigh of relief and was very happy: "Looking back now, if I had agreed at that time, my Ming family would have been doomed!"
From a local perspective, big families like the Ming family and the Gong family seem unshakable, but if they are not afraid of local unrest, the Jia family in Wuwei in the past was almost uprooted by Cui Shouye and sent to Beijing in a prison car.
Obviously, no single aristocratic family can resist the imperial power as long as it ignores the consequences.
The violent turmoil in the past occurred when Changsun Wuji was implicated in the conspiracy case. It was really overwhelming and countless people died.
Ming Chongyan was particularly concerned about the affairs of the Changsun family because of his personal pain: "When the Changsun family was exiled to Lingnan, Changsun Chong was still alive. Could 'Zuoming' be this person and want to avenge his father?"
Li Yan shook his head: "I don't know at the moment. I originally wanted to check the situation of the Changsun family in Lingnan, but I found that the records of the Du lawsuit were burned by a fire ten years ago. According to the descendants of the Wu family who have lived in Lingnan for a long time,
It is said that the Changsun clan suffered from an epidemic in the place of exile and almost died..."
Ming Chongyan narrowed his eyes: "If it's a real epidemic, that's fine. If it's a saint who eradicates the disease, the hatred will be even deeper. 'Zuoming' must be a fish that slipped through the net of the Changsun family and comes back to take revenge."
Li Yan frowned slightly: "Lingnan is too far away and the time is too long. It will be very difficult to trace this line."
At that time, when he investigated the Jiangnan murder case, it was six years ago. The location was Dantu County, Runzhou. It involved a group of ordinary villagers, which was difficult enough.
Now, at least ten years apart, far away in Lingnan, the place of exile, it involves the treason case of Sun Wuji, the most serious case chief of the dynasty, and all the case records have been burned. You can imagine how difficult it is.
Ming Chongyan has never been in the habit of pursuing the truth. When Jia Sibo sealed the case and asked him what he thought, he left a classic answer of "Never mind it." He also had a similar attitude now: "Why should Liu Lang worry about Lingnan affairs?"
Well, as long as we know that the Changsun family has a big enemy and they come back to take revenge, the main thing is to capture the 'Zuoming'."
Li Yan does not impose his own standards on others: "You don't have to worry about Lingnan, I will do what I can..."
When he mentioned revenge, he immediately thought of the head in the cottage, and asked again: "Cheng Wuzhong has left Da Nei with the elite hundred cavalry, and now you have come to Luoyang with the plum blossom guards, the Daming Palace in Chang'an, the guards of the saints
Will there be any loopholes?"
Ming Chongyan thought for a while and said: "The Meihua internal guards who came to Luoyang were originally on duty in the field. Whether we are here or not, there is actually no difference to the palace guards."
"But the Beiya Hundred Cavalry is indeed an elite unit guarding the Xuanwu Gate. Their departure will definitely have an impact on the guards of the Daming Palace. However, these Hundred Cavalry were instigated to rebel a lot, which invisibly destroyed the thieves' conspiracy..."
"Anyway, in Pindao's opinion, there is no need to worry about the saint, just protect the prince."
Ming Chongyan had long lost his loyalty to Li Zhi. He had developed hatred due to the blood feud between his master and Li Jingxuan and his son. Li Zhi's final decision to deal with Li Jingxuan was not for the sake of the people who lost their lives in Jiangnan, but because he had been wronged.
If you treat your ministers like grass and grass, they will naturally regard you as a bandit.
Li Yanze did not want a bloody conflict. The smoothest development was undoubtedly a cry in the Ming Palace, and the long-lonely imperial tomb came into use. Everything went smoothly and smoothly.
However, Ming Chongyan was right about one thing. The first priority now was to protect the prince and catch all the thieves in Luoyang.
Li Yandao: "Luoyang County Government has begun to search for the whereabouts of Yapo's traffickers, but if Yapo is really related to Shang Gong, the power of the county government alone should not be able to do anything to them, and you need to take action."
Ming Chongyan immediately said: "Please rest assured, Liulang, our Meihua Internal Guard includes people from all walks of life, including three religions and nine streams. Unless this group of thieves has left Luoyang, they will not be able to escape our pursuit."
Li Yan believes in this very much. Apart from his identity mark that makes people complain, the Plum Blossom Internal Guard also has a very strong working ability.
Back then, Rong Niang could even disguise herself as a fake mother, and later she went to work as a steward of the Dou Chamber of Commerce. The same was true for other Meihua internal guards. This was originally an organization from bottom to top.
But one thing should be noted: "You are looking for Shang Gong these days, and maybe Shang Gong is also observing your movements. If you suddenly go to search for human traffickers, it is easy to alert the snake."
Ming Chongyan thought for a moment: "Didn't the Yang family of Hongnong lose a child? Pindao came to visit, showed goodwill, intervened in the matter logically, and investigated it openly and honestly!"
"That's how it should be!"
Li Yan smiled and nodded, and then said with concern: "The Yang family also lost a child back then, and they were twin brothers with Yang Zaisi, a doctor in the Ministry of Rites who was on an envoy to Tibet. By the way, you can also check up on the details of the child's loss back then."
Ming Chongyan was puzzled: "The Yang family of Hongnong is also a famous sect in the country. This is just one time. Why do you keep losing your children?"
Li Yan's eyes flashed slightly: "Yes, I also wonder why his family keeps losing children!"
…
Early the next morning.
Qiu Mansion.
Under the service of his wife, Qiu Shenji put on oversized clothes, touched his increasingly round belly, and sighed: "Should I pick up martial arts again?"
The wife beamed with joy and nodded repeatedly: "If my husband is interested, I am willing to supervise him."
Qiu Shenji just sighed, but he didn't expect that he actually picked up the topic and immediately changed the subject: "Let the children do it!"
The wife reluctantly went to call the children. After a while, six or seven children came to the front and said respectfully: "Say hello to Aye!"
Qiu Shenji had quite a lot of children, and naturally all of them were passed over by Wu Zetian in history. Now looking at this group of sons and daughters, big and small, he showed a look of relief: "You are almost at the age of entering school. After entering the sixth grade, study hard and learn from me."
See, if you have real skills, you can succeed anywhere, do you understand?"
The children responded ignorantly: "Yes!"
Qiu Shenji laughed: "Today, my father is going to the execution ground to watch the ceremony. Which of you wants to come together?"
The children showed fear and lowered their heads.
Qiu Shenji was very disappointed and sighed: "You are not as good as Liu Lang's little female apprentice. My unique skills may be lost!"
Feeling sad, Qiu Shenji turned his grief and anger into appetite, ate and drank enough, rode out of the house on horseback, and arrived at the execution ground on time.
The people watching this time were far less enthusiastic than Li Jingxuan before.
It’s not that I’m tired of seeing it, the beheading of high-ranking officials and villains is always a topic that everyone talks about.
The main reason is that the Yamen did not advertise it widely in advance, so it was done secretly.
There was no other way. As soon as they heard that it was an auspicious case, Dali Temple immediately took special measures to complete the case as quickly as possible.
The reason for the sentence and execution also mentioned Xiangrui briefly, and mainly listed several other crimes of Doulu Qinwang. Anyway, according to Tang law, it was enough for the death penalty.
The Ministry of Punishment took over the execution procedures and also handled it in a low-key manner. If Qiu Shenji had not been paying close attention at all times, he would not have known that Doulu Qinwang would be executed today.
The temporary execution platform was surrounded by people from nearby areas who came to watch. Naturally, there were not too many people.
Qiu Shenji came to see the execution, first of all he looked at the prisoner, and secondly he also observed the onlookers. There were few people today, which made him even more unhappy. However, when he saw Doulu Qinwang being escorted in the prison car, he still smiled with schadenfreude: "The son of the Duke of the country.
, what can the leader of the Internal Guard Pavilion do? He won’t end up like Cui Shouye!”
Doulu Qinwang was trembling all over, and several people dragged him out of the prison car.
When he ate the decapitation meal last night, he was relatively calm, thinking that he could welcome death without losing his manners. However, looking at the executioner holding a big knife, he still collapsed: "Don't chop me! I'm afraid of pain... I
Afraid of pain!!"
There was no need to worry about this, because when the executioner forced him to stand upright and was about to cut him off with a single blow, the whistle of an eagle suddenly came from the sky.
The moment the people below couldn't help but raise their heads, a stone flew out from the crowd and hit Doulu Qinwang's throat.
Doulu Qinwang remained silent and was killed immediately. Then the executioner swung his knife and chopped off his head.
Li Yan, who is hidden among the crowd, hides his merit and fame.
