"My father-in-law did burn incense. If it weren't for my help, he would definitely be dead this time." Xuanwu Hou said with a bitter smile: "It's just a pity that so much money has been lost... It's really heartbreaking."
"Money is something external to the body. If you lose it, you can make it again. If you lose it, you will never see it again in this life." Gongsun Yang said with relief.
"Well, you are right. Compared with relatives, money is indeed an extraneous thing." Xuanwu Hou nodded.
"Master Marquis, you can go and appease the young lady now." Gongsun Yang said with a smile.
"Yes, I will go find her now. This woman is so troublesome. I must deal with her tonight." After saying this, Marquis Xuanwu hurriedly walked towards the backyard.
After Marquis Xuanwu left, the smile on Gongsun Yang's face slowly disappeared, replaced by a look of ferociousness, with a streak of violence flashing in his eyes.
…
White Tiger City.
Li Kafa, the assistant minister of the Ministry of Justice, sat on a large wooden chair and squinted at Tian Zhengang, who was sitting opposite: "Master Tian, you should know the reason why I called you here, right?"
Tian Zhengang shook his head: "I really don't know."
"Mr. Tian, you should have heard of me. Although I haven't been in the Ministry of Justice for a long time, I have gained some fame. Someone even gave me a nickname. Do you know what it is?" Li Kafa
He said calmly.
"Not interested in knowing." Tian Zhengang curled his lips.
"Uh..." Tian Zhengang choked Li Fafa to death with just one sentence. Li Fafa's face twitched a few times: "My nickname is... Hei Wuchang."
"Hei Wuchang? So unpleasant?"
"...In myths and legends, Hei Wuchang is the seducer of hell. I have handled many big cases and dealt with many big shots over the years. Over time, I got such a nickname."
"Oh, I didn't expect Mr. Li to be a great detective. It's a pleasure to meet you. It's a pleasure to meet you."
"I'm telling you so much, I just want to tell you one thing." At this point, Tian Zhengang's tone became cold: "Any case that I'm eyeing can't be solved."
"Li Shilang's tone is a bit loud. You may be lucky and have solved many cases in these years, but you can't always be lucky. You don't know when you will fall into trouble. You must know that there are too many capable people in this world.
Too much." Tian Zhengang said calmly.
Li Kafa stretched out his hand and knocked on the table: "Mr. Tian, I won't beat around the bush with you. I called you here because I want to know the truth about the death of Ding Xiong and others."
"The truth? Don't you already know?" Tian Zhengang said in surprise: "Ding Xiong and others intended to assassinate General Ma, but when the matter was revealed, General Ma killed him on the spot."
"Is this really what happened? Is there no inside story?" Li Kaifa narrowed his eyes.
"What's the inside story? What? Li Shilang doesn't believe what I say? Then you can ask others. There were many people present at the time, and they can all prove that what I said is true."
"I have studied this case carefully, and there are too many doubts in it. I think there must be some unknown information hidden in it. I hope Mr. Tian can tell me the truth."
"How many times do you have me tell you before you believe it? Ding Xiong and others deserve to die, so you'd better close the case quickly and stop torturing people, okay?"
"Master Tian is very anxious to close the case? Are you feeling guilty?"
"You have a guilty conscience! Mr. Li, you can eat randomly, but you can't talk nonsense. Talking nonsense will kill people."
"Are you threatening me?"
"You are the minister, how dare I threaten you? I just told the truth. So what, do you have anything else to do? If not, I will go back. There are still a lot of military affairs waiting for me to handle." Tian Zhengang
He pushed away the chair and stood up. If he hadn't seen that the other party was a minister and had a higher official position than him, he would have walked away long ago. Now that he could talk to Li Kaifa politely, he had already given a lot of face.
Li Fafa's face turned ugly. This Tian Zhengang was too crazy and he clearly didn't take him seriously. Li Fafa wanted to get angry, but after thinking about it, he held it back. After all, this was his territory, and he would suffer in the end if he had a falling out.
It must be him.
Taking a deep breath, Li Kaifa suppressed his anger and said: "Mr. Tian, you should have heard of the saying that Skynet is very sparse and does not leak out. Some people think that it is perfect, but in fact it is full of flaws. I will investigate sooner or later.
If you know the truth, I would like to advise Mr. Tian, if you know the truth, tell me as soon as possible. Not only will I not pursue your responsibility, I will also ask for credit for you..."
"Okay, I understand. I will think about it carefully when I go back. If I think of anything, I will come and tell Li Shilang. I'll leave first. Don't come to me if you have anything to do next. I'm really busy.
"With a few words, Tian Zhengang left in a swaggering manner.
"Everyone!" Li Kafa slapped the table hard, his whole face turned livid.
Next, Li Kafa called several other captains over... These captains all attended the banquet that day and were also witnesses to the case.
The conversation went very poorly. These captains were all veterans and ruffians, and they were all extremely slick. No matter whether Li Kaifa promised benefits or made threats, it had no effect on these captains.
In the end, all we could do was talk it over...
The case suddenly fell into a quagmire.
In fact, it is really easy to close the case. All it takes is Li Shilang swiping his pen and signing his name on the copy. However, in this way, the accusation that Ding Xiong and others intended to assassinate the general became an ironclad fact.
, it will be difficult to overturn the verdict in the future.
Ding Xiong and others are not related to Li Kafa, so Li Kafa shouldn't attach so much importance to Ding Xiong and others? Besides, Li Kafa is not a particularly righteous person. Even if he finds a flaw, he shouldn't pursue it.
’s... After all, this is a case supervised by the emperor. If the delay is too long, the emperor will be dissatisfied, and then Li Kafa will be in trouble.
In fact, Li Kafa did all this just to target Ma Xiaoyao. He wanted to find out the truth about the death of Ding Xiong and others, and then plot against Ma Xiaoyao. Who knew that things did not go very smoothly. Why did Li Kafa target Ma Xiaoyao? Ma Xiaoyao
Have you ever offended Li Kafa? No, before this, Li Kafa didn't know Ma Xiaoyao at all. The reason why he did this was all because of one person, and that person was Han Mingguang's daughter Han Yuanyuan.
Han Yuanyuan is good friends with Li Yingying, the daughter of Li Kafa. Through Li Yingying, Han Yuanyuan met Li Kafa. I don’t know what method Han Yuanyuan used to persuade Li Kafa, an old fox, to help deal with Ma Xiaoyao. It is estimated that Han Yuanyuan offered Li Kafa and could not refuse.
The benefits.
"Where should I start?" Li Kafa sat on a chair and pondered secretly.
"Sir." A soldier pushed open the door and walked in, then handed a sealed letter to Li Kafa: "This is sent by someone from the Minister of Punishment, and he said that he wants to sign it personally."
"Well, I understand, you can go down." Li Kai waved his hand. After the soldiers went out, he tore open the envelope and took out the letter paper inside. When he opened the letter paper, he found that it was written by the Minister of the Ministry of Justice. It was very strange.
An ordinary letter of condolences only has a few hundred words, and Li Kaifa read it quickly.
Why did the good Lord Shangshu write to me? And the content is so ordinary?
"Eh? Is there a mystery hidden in it?" Li Kafa suddenly thought of a possibility. He hurriedly turned the letter over so that the back was facing up. Then he found a bottle of wine and dipped his fingers into the wine and lightly smeared it on the back of the letter.
After a while, a few lines of small words appeared on the back of the letter paper.
"Sure enough, there is a secret hidden there." Li Kafa's eyes lit up, and he hurriedly leaned down and began to read the words that suddenly appeared on the back of the letter. After a while, Li Kafa burned the letter. He sat on a chair, his face flickering.
It can be seen that he is feeling a little confused at the moment.
What was written on the back of the letter? How could it make Li Kafa so upset?
"Master Shangshu will really give me problems." Li Kafa smiled bitterly and shook his head: "Guan Yi's case is irrefutable. It is extremely difficult to overturn his case."
It turns out that the Minister of Punishment wanted Li Kafa to reverse Guan Yi's case. No wonder Li Kafa had this expression.
Li Kaifa has not verified Guan Yi's case during this period, not because he is lazy, but because he knows that Guan Yi's case is already solid evidence, and there is no need to waste energy on paying attention to it. He can just verify it casually before leaving.
That's all, so he focused all his attention on the case of Ding Xiong and others.
But now something unexpected happened. The Minister of Punishment actually asked him to help Guan Yi reverse the case, and he also promised many benefits. The Shangshu of the Ministry of Punishment also promised that after he retires and returns to his hometown, he will do his best to let Li Kafa take over the post of Shangshu. This temptation
It was so big that Li Kaifa couldn't refuse it.
The Minister of Punishment is already very old, almost two hundred years old. His body organs have seriously deteriorated, and his mental state is getting worse day by day. It is estimated that he will retire and return to his hometown in the next two years, and then a position of Minister will be vacant...
Li Kafa was the minister of the Ministry of Justice and was qualified to compete for the position of minister.
Li Kafa dug out Guan Yi's case file and read it carefully. Finally, his brows twisted into the word "Chuan". There was too much evidence against Guan Yi. It was almost impossible to turn against him. At most... it would be to alleviate the problem.
Here's a crime.
Li Kafa pondered for a moment and had an idea in his mind. The first step was to communicate with Guan Yi and ask Guan Yi to change his confession and say that the military funds he had embezzled were not spent, but lent to a few friends.
Collect interest, and the second step is to quickly make up for the misappropriated military funds. In this way, the crime will be much lighter, at least your life will be saved, and you will be jailed for a few years at most.
Well, let's do it this way. I will fight for the position of Minister no matter what.
But this way, he no longer has the energy and time to investigate Ding Xiong's case. Li Kafa sighed secretly, that's all, let Ma Xiaoyao go for now, and wait until he has the opportunity to take action again.
