After drinking for three rounds, the cautious Mr. Li Gang felt something was wrong, so he toasted Da Sima with a glass of wine privately, asked the emperor if his dragon body was in good health, and chatted about some issues before finally getting to the point.
It is said that he once had a relationship with an official. The name of that person seems to be "Li Yuan". I heard that he also served in the court. I wonder how he is doing.
Master Li has already asked this question very well. Firstly, he did not explain his relationship with Li Yuan at all. He just asked it casually as if it was a joke during the dinner. Secondly, he could also know about Li Yuan through Da Sima's answer.
The exact situation is that if Li Yuan is fine, then there shouldn't be anything wrong on his side.
How could Da Sima not know his thoughts and said with a smile: "Master Li Yuanli, that is the popular person in front of the emperor. The emperor takes good care of him."
When it came to taking care of him, Grand Sima did not lie. The emperor specifically ordered that Li Yuan should not be in the same cell with others, which meant that he had to sleep in a cell by himself. What is this if not extra care?
Li Gang didn't know that Li Yuan had already fallen off his horse. Hearing Da Sima's words, he felt relieved a little. He was very busy picking up food and pouring wine for Da Sima.
After drinking and eating, Mr. Li Gang arranged for everyone to rest at his house. He was very smart and would never bring a lot of evidence home. Even if the Tianyi Guards sneaked out to search at night, they might not be able to find anything useful.
Da Sima then asked, "I wonder what official duties Mr. Li will have tomorrow?"
Li Gang replied: "Tomorrow I will supervise the beheading together with the governor of Qianfucheng. The people who will be beheaded are three heinous people. Two men and one woman."
The three people Mr. Li is talking about are Ruyi, Bai Qinghan and Shi Zilun, who is neither human nor animal in the same cell as Bai Qinghan. Needless to say, Ruyi and Bai Qinghan were sentenced to beheading. As for Shi Zilun a few days ago
He bit off the wrist of a jailer again, causing the man to bleed to death. It was too dangerous to keep such a person in prison, so it was better to deal with it as soon as possible. As soon as Li Gang and Duan Yunhe combined their efforts, they planned to take Shi Zilun with them.
Da Sima pinched the date and said in surprise: "Tomorrow? Tomorrow is the first day of the fifth lunar month. As a rule, it is the first day of the lunar month. Prisoners will not be killed on the 15th day of the lunar month. Why did Mr. Li arrange it for tomorrow?"
Li Gang hurriedly said: "Beheading them is the request of the people. The three of them killed people like crazy. Sentencing them to death as soon as possible can act as a deterrent and make the people feel at ease."
Da Sima said nothing more, but he was suspicious. This seemingly high-sounding reason could not cover up the panic on Li Gang's face. Even if it was to reassure the people, he could still postpone it for a day or two. He was so eager to execute this person.
Several people, could it be that these people hold some criminal evidence of Mr. Li Gang, so he can't wait to silence him?
Thinking of this, Da Sima said with a smile: "Then tomorrow I will accompany Mr. Li to supervise the execution. I heard that the weather in Shuze County is going well and the people live and work in peace and contentment. This is all the result of Mr. Li. Watching Mr. Li handle the case will definitely make us learn from it.
Got a lot of things.”
Li Gang said hurriedly: "Hey, great Sima, you have been demoted. You are all high-ranking people. If you want to learn from me, I will learn from you!"
There were many official clichés coming and going, but in the end Li Gang couldn't think of any reason to refuse Da Sima, so he had to agree.
