Chapter 126 Li Yuanfang! Are you a human or a ghost?
Everyone was silent.
They saw a crimson-robed figure approaching from far away. Along the way, no one dared to stop him. They separated left and right to let him come in front of them.
With such power and youth, there is only one person in the current dynasty.
The inner guard suddenly had a backbone, and its momentum was strong. Li Qianru was secretly happy, Li Qiao and Song Yuanwei looked solemnly, and Dou Decheng suddenly calmed down.
He carefully looked at the son-in-law whom Mr. Dou was interested in. He was even more famous when he met him. He waved his hands behind his back slightly and forced a smile: "Li Jiyi, why are you driving so early in the morning?"
Li Yan had excellent eyesight and immediately saw the warehouse not far away. Several people rushed in, but he didn't take it seriously. He said calmly: "Master Dou, I have received information about the case of the poisoning of a scholar, and the Dou Chamber of Commerce.
It's related, I'm here to investigate in detail, please rest assured, Manager Dou, if there is any grievance, I will definitely clear your name!"
Dou Decheng laughed and pointed to the side suddenly: "Innocent? Haha! Li Jiyi is young and has a high position. He knows the methods of these people. He said that they are investigating cases. One or two of them are trying to steal my secrets and have evil intentions. You may be fair and strict. Then
Where are they! Who will make up for the losses of my Chamber of Commerce!"
Being pointed at, Li Qiao's face darkened, and Song Yuanwai became even more furious, scolding: "How dare a mere merchant speak such arrogant words!"
Dou Decheng sneered: "Why, am I wrong? I am a businessman. Although I am humble, I am not as flattering as someone else, and I am looked down upon by everyone!"
"How dare you!!"
The two began to squirt at each other.
Li Yan goes to the theater.
Dou Decheng was obviously stalling for time, wishing he could make a quarrel so that his men could move the elixirs in the warehouse, making an empty promise.
Song Yuanwai fell for the trick as soon as he was provoked. He was really a fool.
Fortunately, he was not in a hurry and watched the two of them talking trash to each other leisurely.
After a while, there was sudden movement in the warehouse behind.
As several figures fell out violently, a Taoist robe floated out.
Ming Chongyan had a handsome posture, performed Qinggong, and after several ups and downs, he came to Li Yan and presented the brocade box: "Please take a look at it, Li Jiyi!"
Li Yan took it and looked at Dou Decheng, whose expression changed: "This elixir is exactly the cloud elixir that caused the poisoning of Xinke Shizi. What else can Manager Dou say?"
Dou Decheng actually knew Ming Chongyan, and shouted sternly: "Master Ming, you are from outside the country, do you want to go against me, the Dou family?"
Ming Chongyan saluted with one hand: "Returning the elixir and gold liquid is the most important person. Now the elixir is poisonous and has ruined my Taoist reputation. I must take action. I'm offended!"
Ming Chongyan's action exposed his intention to transfer evidence. Dou Decheng knew that the matter was difficult and ignored Mr. Liu again. His voice became sharp and he turned away from him: "Li Jiyi, I, Mr. Dou, treat each other with courtesy. Why are you treating me with courtesy?"
Do you want to be so malicious and aggressive?"
Li Yan shook his head: "Mr. Dou's words are serious. You and I have not known each other before, so how can you say that you have malicious plans? I am here to investigate the case, and it is not a personal grudge. We want to search the warehouse. Mr. Dou, please get out of the way.
Stop making unnecessary resistance!"
Dou Decheng looked at the internal guards who had gathered around him, and his face became completely ferocious: "Bring the crossbow! Dou family, please obey orders! Who dares to ignore the law and break into my warehouse? Shoot me hard. Don't do it again."
Any concerns!”
The stewards and servants around shouted: "Yes!"
Song Yuanwai felt incredible: "Crossbow? How dare you, Thief Dou! This is the emperor's feet, how can you be allowed to be so presumptuous?"
Dou Decheng sneered: "Do you have any search documents? Why are you just talking in vain and searching my inventory? You want to ruin my chamber of commerce, so come on, we are finished, you can't even think about it!!"
Song Yuanwai was trembling with anger: "How can this be unreasonable! How can it be unreasonable!"
Ancient laws were often trampled by the imperial power, and their various departments would not strictly abide by them.
For example, when the Ministry of Punishment and Dali Temple handled cases, when did they follow the rules?
But now Dou Decheng sticks to this point and actually dares to kill.
He was really not just intimidating. With an order, teams of trained slaves rushed out and actually took out the homemade bows and arrows, and locked arrows with cold light one by one.
"Seriously!"
The moods of Li Qiao, Li Qianru and Song Yuanwai changed drastically, and they began to think about quitting.
"He is quite a character. No wonder he has built such a big family business!"
Li Yan's expression also became serious.
The use of bows and arrows is not considered treason. The most important thing that people cannot hide is armor.
Many people may not understand why. In fact, it is the same reason that it is illegal to wear body armor in many states in the United States.
Once you wear a bulletproof vest, it will be much more difficult for the police to come and shoot you. So what can you do?
Similarly, once the armor is worn, the lethality of many weapons is reduced sharply, especially bows and arrows, which are neither painful nor itchy when shot on the body, and cannot penetrate the flesh at all, making them too threatening.
In history, Li Xian was dethroned as the crown prince because he secretly hid hundreds of sets of armor in the East Palace. It was definitely not a trivial matter.
The elite troops armed with hundreds of sets of armor can really emulate the story of Xuanwumen.
If the fact that he hid the armor was true, then it would be no problem to be deposed. If he did not hide the armor, it would be an injustice.
The Dou Chamber of Commerce naturally did not dare to hide armor, but at this time, the internal guards did not wear armor for the sake of convenience.
In such a cramped environment, once a bow and arrow are taken out and a volley is fired, there will be blood and there will be no end to the matter.
Although the Dou Chamber of Commerce is in ruins, all the officials present will also suffer great consequences.
Dou Decheng forced them to stop the search with the consequences of losing both sides.
Seeing that Song Yuan and his entourage were frightened, Dou Decheng's eyes were completely focused on Li Yan, and his tone softened: "Li Jiyi, why are you doing this? If you want to investigate the case, our Dou Chamber of Commerce is also somewhat thin in Beijing, no matter what
No matter what happens, I will fully cooperate with you!"
His face was solemn, and he swore an oath: "I dare to swear to God that I, Dou Decheng, have absolutely nothing to do with the poisoning case of the imperial examination scholar. If not, I will be struck by lightning and die a good death!"
The scene became quiet again.
Everyone looked at Li Yan, waiting for his decision.
Faced with the leader of the Dou Chamber of Commerce, who used both soft and hard tactics, Li Yan's answer was...
This chapter is not over yet, please click on the next page to continue reading! Get started!
The wind howls!
Ming Chongyan was standing behind Li Yan when he saw this man suddenly jump out.
His pupils suddenly contracted.
Because in just two short breaths, the tall figure flashed out like lightning, sprinted twice in a row, and appeared in front of Dou Jiancheng, who was more than ten meters away.
Hundreds of people were crowded into the spacious backyard, with three floors inside and three floors outside. Naturally, the distance between the two parties was not far.
But even so, this scene is extremely shocking.
The martial arts masters around Dou Decheng didn't even have time to react. They just felt the strong wind blowing in their faces, and their eyes blurred, and Dou Jiancheng fell into Li Yan's hands.
"If you resist stubbornly, you will be punished with an additional penalty!"
"Dou Decheng, now I am responsible for arresting you and putting you in jail!!"
Li Yan shot the Sirius, and instantly came to Dou Jiancheng, grabbed his shoulders with his strength, and then walked back leisurely.
If Dou Jing and Peng Botong were here, they would call them experts.
At that time, in the internal defense training ground, Li Jiyi flew over and captured him in an instant.
It's just that the distance wasn't that long, and it wasn't as shocking as it is now.
Ever since.
Everyone watched this scene helplessly.
The people in the Jianghu looked at that tall and straight figure, fearful in their hearts, and did not dare to move.
The Dou family's slaves all obeyed their orders. Now that the affairs are in the hands of the other party, they dare not take action.
The inner guards almost cheered for joy, holding back the excitement in their hearts to welcome Shangguan's return.
Even Li Qiao was very poetic and wished he could recite a poem to enhance his power.
The most unacceptable one is naturally Dou Decheng.
It wasn't until he was taken into the inner guard that he woke up as if from a dream and said in a trembling voice: "Li Yuanfang!! Are you a human or a ghost?!"
Li Yan patted his shoulder and said with a smile: "Dou Decheng, you should take care of yourself. Your reaction is so intense. There must be something fishy. Tell me, why?"
Li Yan was not sure whether Dou's Chamber of Commerce was innocent at first, but he watched with cold eyes. Although Dou Decheng was unwilling to search Feiqian's account books before, he still compromised. As a result, he actually went to the crossbow to see blood for the elixirs in the warehouse.
The point!
There must be a huge secret hidden behind this.
Dou Decheng looked pale, knowing that the situation was over, but he was still trying to defend himself: "I have also heard about the scholar being poisoned. That happened last night. What time is it now? Why did you find this place in such a short time and insist that it was...
Did my Dou Chamber of Commerce sell poisonous elixirs? This is obviously a frame-up and is completely unreasonable!"
Li Yan said coldly: "Whether it is a false accusation or not, I will investigate in detail and confess quickly to save myself. Even if you resist to the end, will this matter be forgotten today?"
His voice became sonorous and powerful: "Do you think the Dali Temple, the Ministry of Punishment and the Chang'an County Government will always stand by and watch? Do you think the internal guards will give up halfway? Do you think the saint will make the decision for the new scholars? Dou Decheng, are you still here?
What luck are you having!!”
As soon as the classic parallelism came out, Dou Decheng's body trembled, and his psychological defense finally fell: "It has nothing to do with me! It has nothing to do with me!"
Li Yan narrowed his eyes slightly and led Dou Decheng towards the warehouse.
The people in the Dou Chamber of Commerce started to feel a little commotion. He was not polite and said sternly: "Don't back down yet!!"
Seeing Dou Decheng's dejected look, the other stewards sighed and waved their hands.
Everyone finally retreated to both sides slowly, making way for a passage.
Ming Chongyan and Qiu Shenji immediately followed Li Yan and walked into the warehouse. Wang Xiaojie consciously stopped to block the people behind him.
But Li Yan's voice came: "Let them come in together. The case will be solved quickly and the murderer will be arrested. Only then will the world's scholars be able to account for it!"
"This man's magnanimity is truly remarkable!"
Li Qiao felt admiration in his heart and walked in. Song Yuanwai couldn't wait to follow him. Li Qianru felt inexplicably happy and walked in proudly.
Inside the warehouse.
Everyone walked through rows of shelves and finally reached the depths.
Rows of brocade boxes, nearly a thousand in number, are carefully preserved here.
Qiu Shenji stepped forward and took out a box and gave it to Li Yan: "Liu Lang, please take a look, this is it!"
Li Yan was afraid of getting the one that Ming Chongyan had licked, so he handed it directly to Ming Chongyan: "Please identify it with the Taoist Priest!"
Ming Chongyan pretended to go through the process and confirmed: "Yes, this is Yundan."
Li Yan said: "Dou Decheng, what else do you have to say now?"
Dou Decheng lowered his head and was silent for a long time, and finally spoke: "The reason why I concealed it had nothing to do with the poisoning of the imperial examination scholars this time, but because as early as six years ago, there was a Yundan tragedy in the south of the Yangtze River, and three people died.
More than a hundred people, thousands of people were poisoned!"
Everyone was suddenly stunned, and Li Qianru was puzzled: "Why didn't I know this? I was already in Dali Temple at that time!"
Dou Decheng raised his head, his face was bloodless, and he said every word:
"Because the murderer of that tragedy has not been found yet, it is an unsolved case!!"
