Chapter 417 Li Yan: I didn’t even show up and you fell down?
"Qiu Shenji!"
In front of the British government palace, the two sides faced off, and Li Zhaode kept chanting this name that everyone in the court knew and knew.
The name of a person, the shadow of a tree, Qiu Shenji is a close confidant of Li Yuanfang, the leader of the Internal Guard Pavilion. He is best at interrogating prisoners and has made many meritorious deeds. He was promoted quickly as an envoy. Many officials knew the situation, but did not Saw it with my own eyes.
Because Qiu Shenji rarely went to other places outside the inner prison except for necessary court meetings. People who heard from hearsay only knew that this man was tall and had a ferocious face, and he could stop the waiters in prison from crying.
Because Li Zhaode was more concerned about the situation of the internal guard, he inquired with its internal members and found out that this person had already become wealthy and liked to laugh. During the execution of felons, this person's stocky figure could often be seen. In fact, he was not mysterious. , but he rarely interacts with the disciples in Guanzhong, so he is not well known.
Considering that his father is Qiu Xinggong, it's no wonder. Li Zhaode is already easy to offend people, but he has not reached the level of Qiu Xinggong. Therefore, although Qiu Xinggong has inherited the title after his death, the Qiu Mansion has never been regarded as a knight. Treat them with dignity and exclude them from the circle, and gradually they become a declining and poor family.
Now that Qiu Shenji had been caught, it was clear that he was coming fiercely. Even though Li Zhaode had reprimanded everyone before, his position was still on the Guanzhong side. After a brief thought, he immediately launched a counterattack: "I didn't expect that even ordinary fights and disputes are now under your internal defense." After management, it seems that the Ministry of Punishment and Dali Temple will be abolished soon, and even the prison in Luoyang County will be demolished, and all the prisoners will be sent to the inner prison, right?"
Qiu Shenji smiled: "I hope Li Zhongcheng knows that ordinary fighting cases are indeed not managed by the internal guards. However, the British Duke Li Jingye just participated in the Silla spy case yesterday, and now Danyang County Duke has been seriously injured in his house. My inner guard has to wonder if there is a connection between the two..."
As he spoke, he looked at the Guanzhong disciples who were leaning behind the palace gate, wanting to see but not daring to see them: "After all, there are so many lords gathered in the British Duke's mansion. His Majesty will pay attention to this event if he knows about it. Of course, the internal guards will Preventive measures."
Li Zhaode secretly thought something was wrong. Before he could think of how to refute, Qiu Shenji continued: "Of course, after I investigate the case in detail, I will confirm that it has no connection with the enemy's secret agents. I will transfer it to the Dali Temple of the Ministry of Punishment for acceptance, and there is no need to submit it to the Yushitai." No, if the victim’s family asks!”
Li Zhaode's brows immediately moved: "The old lady in the Danyang County Duke's residence is the widow of the old County Duke. She is now over eighty years old and loves her grandchildren very much. I came here just because of her entrustment, and what you just said is also because of her. Its commission, what’s going on?”
Qiu Shenji sighed, his smile unchanged: "Maybe I just missed it. I just came to visit you. Compared with your Yushitai, our internal guards are better at investigating cases. The old lady heard that his grandson was injured. Qi Qi, why is it strange that we are asked to make the decision for Duke Danyang?"
Li Zhaode looked at Dou Huaizhen in his hand, and then at Qiu Shenji, his eyes suddenly became sharp: "It's not such a coincidence, I understand. No wonder Dou Huaizhen's words were vague and his motives were unclear. It turned out to be you who instigated it!"
Qiu Shenji's smile slowly faded, he tilted his head and dug his ears: "Is Li Zhongcheng used to being domineering because of his family background? Say what you just said again!"
Li Zhaode saw the fierce light flashing in his eyes, and then looked at the imposing inner guard behind him, his pupils shrank slightly.
If it had been anyone else, it would have been a good man not to suffer the immediate loss, but Li Zhaode knew very well that giving in even half a step at this time would lead to a disaster.
He himself had a temper that would rather break than bend, and simply said sternly: "I am the censor Zhongcheng. All officials have made mistakes. It is our responsibility to impeach and correct the situation of the court. Why can't I say it?"
"Qiu Shenji, listen carefully. I now suspect that you secretly bribed Dou Huaizhen and plotted to murder Danyang County Duke. If you are an evil talent, you will definitely make the people of the government and the public panic. A thorough investigation must be carried out!"
Qiu Shenji smiled and nodded repeatedly: "Okay! Okay! Do you dare to talk nonsense and slander my reputation as an internal guard?"
That smile was no longer kind, but full of ferocity and cruelty: "The inner guards are directly under the control of the saints and are not under the management of the three provinces and six ministries. You, the Yushitai, have no right to question our normal investigation. Li Zhaode, you are so brave. Come here."
, let me go up and slap his mouth hard!"
Li Zhaode suddenly changed his color: "How dare you!"
Qiu Shenji laughed and said, "Why don't you dare? In the worst case, if you don't want to be humiliated when you go back, you can find a rope and hang yourself, or you can hang yourself at the door of my inner guard!"
He pointed to the plaque of the British government: "If the crowd is aroused and your Majesty orders me to be executed, I will die a worthy death and be remembered forever. Because I, Qiu Shenji, exposed the misdeeds of the traitors in Guanzhong, and I was murdered by you and others! Are the people of the government and the public in panic?
I think it’s the wealthy people like you in Guanzhong who are panicking, come on! Give him a good slap in the mouth!”
With this big hat off, those in the government who originally wanted to watch their conflict could no longer sit still.
Li Jingyou was about to come out, but when he saw Qiu Shenji, he quickly shrank back, his face turned pale.
Seeing how useless Wei Chengqing was, he had no choice but to step forward to protect Li Zhaode: "Qiu Jiyi, don't get excited. If you have something to say, say it carefully! Say it carefully!"
Seeing that Qiu Shenji ignored him and the inner guards were really about to pounce on him, Wei Chengqing hurriedly whispered to Li Zhaode: "Give Dou Huaizhen to him. The inner guards can't get hold of this matter. Let's put things to rest as soon as possible..."
Li Zhaode's face turned green and white. He looked at the inner guards who were looking at him eagerly, and then at the noble children in the house, with misery in his eyes.
He had clearly seen the truth. If he followed this line of investigation, he would definitely be able to grasp clues that would prove that Qiu Shenji was the murderer who shouted to catch the thief. However, this group of idiots gathered together and gave the other party the best excuse to attack.
Even if Emperor Taizong was magnanimous, he would be wary when seeing so many distinguished people from Guanzhong gathered together, let alone the late emperor. In other words, when the late emperor was around, these people in the house would not dare to gather like this at all. The reason for this is today's situation.
The saint has a good temper.
This chapter is not finished yet, please click on the next page to continue reading the exciting content! But no matter how good your temper is, you will have obvious likes and dislikes, and if the inner guard is involved, it doesn’t really matter what the truth is. In such a situation
Next, if he and Qiu Shenji fight hard, with each other's fierceness, they will definitely take advantage of the situation and humiliate them...
Li Zhaode said no more, put Dou Huaizhen down and stepped back.
Wei Chengqing breathed a sigh of relief and smiled: "Qiu Jiyi, look..."
Qiu Shenji, however, was unyielding and spat fiercely on the ground: "You don't even dare to trade one life for another. How dare you pretend to be a censor's loyal advice in front of me! Come on, go check it out for me.
Where is Li Zhongcheng's mansion? I will go and visit him when I have free time!"
Li Zhaode changed his expression again: "Qiu Shenji, what are you going to do!"
However, Qiu Shenji had already looked at the Guanzhong children in his house. Since he didn't want to pretend to be Di Pangpang's kindness, he completely broke his face and said: "You are all suspects in this case now. Please return to the front yard and stand there. Who dares to secretly
To slip away is to be a traitor with a guilty conscience and to be a traitor to the enemy!"
The noble disciples standing aside in the house, such as Wei Xuanzhen, were really ready to leave through the side door, but after hearing those ferocious words, his expression changed several times, and in the end he did not dare to move.
Soon I saw Qiu Shenji walking into the house with a step that he didn't recognize his relatives, pointing his finger: "Remember all these people. If I have any shortcomings, it must be a thief among these people. In order to kill people and silence them, he caused me this
Wait for Tang Zhongliang!"
Take the order and start recording.
The distinguished disciples present were still glaring angrily, but when they looked at the case records, their expressions suddenly turned ugly and they no longer dared to look at Qiu Shenji.
Qiu Shenji waited patiently until all the records were finished, then sneered: "Where is Duke Danyang? I was entrusted by the old lady to take care of her sweet grandson!"
The half-dead Li Shoujie was carried up. He was already drowsy. Qiu Shenji squatted down and started to press on him. He quickly determined that Dou Huaizhen's attack was indeed cruel and accurate. This guy was already crippled, but he would not immediately
Lose your life.
After all, he is a second-grade Duke. Death directly and being seriously ill in bed are two different concepts. No matter how displeased the saint is with the former, he has to investigate for the sake of court regulations, while the latter can be fooled.
Li Zhaode observed carefully and saw that after Qiu Shenji completed the inspection, he subconsciously breathed a sigh of relief and became more sure of his judgment. Then he saw the fat man's ferocious eyes turning around again, staring at him and stretching out his hand.
The internal guard who had just gone to investigate came forward and handed over the case record. Qiu Shenji glanced at it and said, "Hey, the principal wife has given birth to three sons and two daughters, four concubines, nine concubines, and a house full of children. Not bad!"
Li Zhaode was shocked: "Qiu Shenji, what are you doing?"
Qiu Shenji stared at him: "Li Zhongcheng, is this your home? I really like to see young men going to school. Maybe your children will be able to see me when they leave the house in the future!"
Li Zhaode's body trembled slightly, showing a look of complete fear.
Imagine that every day when the door of the house opens, Qiu Shenji is squatting there, watching his children go to school, and then watching his children after school...
How are you going to live this day?
Seeing Li Zhaode lower his head, Qiu Shenji withdrew his gaze with disdain: "You're the only one who's smart enough to see through but don't tell me, right? Why don't you go crazy now!"
After subduing the assassin, he still did not forget the original purpose of coming to the British government. He issued an order to Li Jingyou who was huddled in the crowd: "Go and gather all the servants in your house, especially those who know Manager Xu..."
When I said this, my stomach bulged and I was so proud: "I want to investigate the case all night long!"
…
The night was all about talking.
Early the next morning, Li Yan leisurely came to work in the inner security department. At his work station, he saw a thick pile of case records and Qiu Shenji, who was sleeping soundly not far away.
He looked through the case record and smiled sincerely: "In handling this kind of thing, the magical method is actually more effective, so that they fell before I even came forward. This feels really good!"
