The internal security officer Qiu Shenji led his men to surround the place where the crime occurred. Looking at the delicate lanterns gently swaying in the wind in front of the courtyard, not-so-good memories came to mind: "It's the courtyard of Lady Douzhi again... tsk
…”
What Qiu Shenji was thinking of was obviously his experience when he first became an official in Chang'an and was robbed by the evil slaves of Wu Minzhi's house.
It was also after that incident that he officially became the nemesis of evil. The evil slaves of the wealthy families in Chang'an City still dare not pass in front of him and tremble when they hear his name.
However, Qiu Shenji did not know that a case had occurred in this capital courtyard not long ago. It was the place where Mrs. Yan lived and where Zheng Rentong's son Zheng Hui was almost poisoned.
Now that Lady Yan has redeemed herself, she has been taken as a concubine by Zheng Hui, and they have gone to Jiangnan together. This secluded and elegant courtyard is not free, and is occupied by the fake mother, who lives in another Douzhi Lady.
Today, Brunzanren and two disciples of the Wu family came here to study poetry and cultivate their sentiments.
After a few rounds of drinking, everyone realized that the lady had been tortured to the point that her blood pressure had soared.
She has always been a well-rounded person, but she has never seen such a stupid and show off person, and she doesn't know how to smooth things over.
But no matter what, for the sake of Jin Zi, she still tried her best to deal with the situation and successfully got Wu Shizi drunk. She originally didn't like Brenzan, a Tibetan, but in comparison, she still tolerated it.
So, I decided to have a taste of this wonderful piece of poetry with this person.
After a period of time, Wu Shizi was given sobering soup, and when she woke up, she found her fake mother in front of her, showing a warm smile: "Two Wu Langjuns, please tie the knot."
Wu Chengye was in a daze, but he still remembered the good friend who made the Wu family rich: "I went to Gogoro to ask for it, and he paid the bill..."
The fake mother's smile became fake: "That Gar husband made my wife faint and seemed to have jumped over the wall in the backyard and left. May I ask these two husbands, what does this mean? If my wife has any good intentions,
, we have to report it to the official!"
Another Wu Yuanzong became impatient: "We are the nephews of the Queen Mother, and you are a prostitute. How dare you report it to the official? We don't know anything about the money or the fainting. Third brother, let's go!"
The fake mother's face completely darkened, and after a moment's hesitation, she still gave her a sharp look.
Several servants came forward and blocked the exit.
Wu Chengye and Wu Yuanzong's expressions changed. They looked at those sturdy servants and showed panic: "What are you going to do! Our surname is Wu!"
This lustful internal quarrel made the fake mother calm down and said coldly: "You two Wu Langjuns, don't be joking. Although we are in a low-level business, we are protected by the county government. Go and invite the government servants!"
Everyone knows that the lady is the most well-informed because she is in contact with officials who love to learn all day long. The current status of the Wu family's children can only be deceived by outsiders who don't know the inside story. The fake mother knows very well that their status in the court is extremely low.
Of course, under normal circumstances, no matter how low the status of a maternal relative is, it is not something that lowly people like them can disobey, but she vaguely felt that the Tibetan man had fainted and suddenly disappeared, something was wrong, so it would be better to report it to the official, but
We can't be like the last poisoning case where we were almost implicated and imprisoned.
The fake mother's decision was a wise one, but Wu Chengye and Wu Yuanzong saw that they would not let him go and shouted at their servants to force them to attack.
Seeing that he couldn't get out, Wu Chengye suddenly made a wise decision and made the matter worse: "The Tubo people are traitors from the enemy country. They must have fled back to the country. Go and arrest him. Let us go! Let us go!"
Ever since.
The patrolling Marquis Wu came and quickly reported to the county government.
When someone comes from the county government, they immediately report it to the Ministry of Punishment and Dali Temple.
The Ministry of Punishment and Dali Temple were immediately handed over to the Internal Guard.
The internal guards arrived and determined that under the "cover" of the Wu family's children, the Tubo criminal Brenzan had escaped with his sword.
At this time, Qiu Shenji looked at Erwu who was standing by the wall. After just a few glances, he knew that there was no need to go to the inner prison for interrogation. He directly asked the horse: "Tell me, what happened between you and the Brenzan Blade?"
thing?"
When Wu Chengye and Wu Yuanzong were stared at by him, they couldn't help but feel chills all over their bodies. They trembled and said, "We don't know, but he just ran away. What does it have to do with us?"
Qiu Shenji said calmly: "I will only speak once and will never repeat it. Listen carefully!"
"Brenzan was a defeated general of Tubo. It was thanks to His Majesty's grace that he became the dancer he is today. He cherishes his life and will never escape hastily."
"Just like when the Turkic Khan Jieli Khan was captured alive in Chang'an in the past, Taizong was magnanimous and did not kill him. When the news came back, the Turkic tribes who originally resisted also surrendered one after another. All tribes admired Taizong's grace and power and respected him as the Heavenly Khan. But if Jieli Khan
If the Khan wants to escape, he will be killed without mercy."
"Brenzan Blade will never be able to dance again after he escapes. Even if he is captured and captured, he will have to serve hard labor for a long time until he dies. If this matter is reported back to Tibet, it will not cause any conflict, because His Majesty is generous enough, but he does not know
cherish."
"Do you understand now, what happened that caused Blenzan to take advantage of your cover and risk his escape?"
Erwu Zai Erwu woke up after hearing this and said quickly: "That guy hates us and deliberately harms us..."
The two of them talked about the previous events, and Qiu Shenji was surprised: "So you took turns defrauding him of his money, and you were invited by him to come to this small courtyard to have fun? He invited five people,
You two are the only ones here, which means the other three are at least a little alert. What do you two think?"
Wu Yuanzong was trembling all over: "I thought he still wanted to ask us to do things..."
Wu Chengye trembled: "I regret it now, very much..."
Qiu Shenji took a look and knew that the whole story was basically like this. He felt quite bored and waved his hand and said: "Take it off! Go to Duke Zhou's Mansion and summon the remaining Wu family members!"
"Wait a minute!"
At this moment, righteous shouts came from behind, and several fast horses arrived. The leading official was dressed in purple robes and looked majestic.
This chapter is not over yet, please click on the next page to continue reading! Qiu Shenji raised his thick eyebrows: "It turned out to be Dr. Yin and all the censors..."
The person who came was Yin Zhongyan, the imperial censor, followed by four officials from the censorship station. He hurriedly arrived in front of him and saluted with a straight face: "Qiu Jiyi!"
As soon as Qiu Shenji saw the lineup, he knew that the person coming was evil.
In the Yushitai, the chief official is the Yushi Dafu, and the deputy is the Yushi Zhongcheng, who leads the censors, serves the censors in the palace, and supervises the censors.
The person who came at this time was Yin Zhongyan, the censor doctor, leading the censor Zhongcheng and three supervisory censors. Everyone looked over with a cold face and a scrutinizing gaze, full of oppression.
Qiu Shenji bared his teeth and looked back proudly. He was now also a fifth-grade scarlet robe, an important member of the court, and had the independence of an internal guard. He was the first to ask: "I don't know what you, the censors, are doing here."
When Yin Zhongyan saw the notorious Qiu Shenji's attitude, he knew that the matter was not easy to handle, but he still stroked his beard and said: "The Taiwan Prison received a report involving a relative of the Wu family. We dare not neglect and come to investigate."
Before the Zhenguan period of the Tang Dynasty, the Yushitai could only hear about events and had no judicial power. During the Zhenguan period, the Yushitai set up a prison to handle special litigation cases. At this time, Yin Zhongyan's intention was to assign Wu Shizi's case to himself.
Under his command.
Qiu Shenji said calmly: "The county government has a prison, the Ministry of Punishment has a prison of the Ministry of Punishment, there is a Dali Temple Prison in Dali Temple, there is a Taiwan Prison in Yushitai, and there is an inner prison in the inner guard. They are all places where prisoners are detained and interrogated. Now the case has been handed over to me.
The Wei will review it, and if the Yushitai comes again, it might be unreasonable, right?"
The censor is a professional troll, but he has never spoken so directly. Yin Zhongyan's face darkened: "Which court law does Qiu Jiyi's so-called 'reason' come from? I am all ears!"
Qiu Shenji did not mince words with the other party, and laughed: "I just want to see what you are here for, and whether you have any selfish intentions and want to hide it for the Wu family!"
Yin Zhongyan was stunned, and the censor behind him changed his color even more, and shouted: "Qiu Shenji is bold! Do you dare to slander the reputation of our censor? We must read your book and let your majesty make the decision!"
Qiu Shenji picked his ears and thought that you, the censor, were not involved in my memorial behind my back. I have long wanted to find an opportunity to settle a personal grudge with you, so as to save you from looking like a businessman, I simply pouted on the ground.
: "A clear reputation? If you had a clear reputation, you wouldn't come here to speak for Mr. Wu!"
Yin Zhongyan secretly thought that something was wrong. He knew that Yushitai could not be tied to the notorious Wu family, so he quickly started to change the subject: "Qiu Shenji, let's talk about the matter. Our prison in Taiwan has the power to interrogate cases, so don't flout the court's laws!"
The two sides started to quarrel, and Qiu Shenji was one against five. He couldn't help but kept messing around without losing the slightest advantage. The inner guards in the courtyard also had free time to work.
In fact, everyone knows that the Yushitai's current actions against the inner guards are supported by many ministers. The life and death of the Wu family's children has nothing to do with the ministers. The key is to use them to limit the power of the inner guards.
Just imagine if the emperor's relatives are killed when asked, wouldn't it mean that if they, the ministers, make a small mistake, they will be captured by the internal guards? There have been too many executions in busy cities recently, and this trend must be curbed!
Seeing that no one could scold anyone, the sound of horse hooves suddenly sounded.
The quarrel stopped abruptly, and both parties looked towards the street.
I saw the divine horse lion Cong appear from a distance, and within a few dozen breaths it was in front of me.
The ones who reacted the most were Wu Chengye and Wu Yuanzong.
When the previous officials arrived, they were just afraid, but the moment Li Yuanfang appeared, their fear completely turned into fear. Like a deflated ball, they collapsed instantly, and the stench filled the air, causing all the censors to frown and subconsciously
Take a few steps back.
Seeing the person coming, Yin Zhongyan's eyes showed obvious fear. Even though he was a third-grade purple robe, due to the late emperor's edict, he fell behind him in terms of power and ranking in the court. In addition, this time
Indeed, with selfish motives, he subconsciously said: "Lead Li!"
Li Yan opened his mouth and asked: "Does Doctor Yin's coming here mean that Yushitai is preparing to replace the inner guard and capture the Brenzan Blade?"
Yin Zhongyan was immediately speechless, and the censor who relied solely on his words also instantly shut his mouth.
The responsibility of the internal security guards is to handle cases at the national level. The key is that it also involves the subsequent arrest work. They can snatch the case, but how can Brenzan be caught?
Li Yan added: "As for the case of Wu Shizi defrauding Brenzan Blade's property, please ask the Yushitai to investigate. We, the internal guards of Duke Zhou's mansion, will not go there."
Yin Zhongyan was a little unwilling to have the right to speak, but he thought that if he could win over the fraud case, at least it would prevent the internal guards from continuing to expand and demonstrate the authority of Yushitai, he nodded slowly: "That's good!"
Li Yan looked at Er Wu who was collapsed and speechless: "Don't worry! I will never implicate you and other Wu family members. If you commit crimes, I will investigate and deal with them one by one!"
Erwu whined, unable to answer.
Then he turned to Qiu Shenji: "The two thieves of the Wu family will be charged with collaborating with the enemy and treason. They will be dealt with promptly and strictly. The case files will be submitted to Your Majesty and I will be notified when they are executed."
Qiu Shenji accepted the order: "Yes!"
Finally, he cupped his fists and saluted everyone present: "The matter of the Brenzan Blade should not be underestimated, so I will take my leave now. Thank you for your hard work!"
"Send it to Li Ge!"
Everyone returned the gift and watched as the man came and went suddenly and disappeared into the street with great force.
