In the cell, Huang Anliang was filled with regret.
I had already been a hundred times wary of Xiao Chen, but he still used an embroidered spring knife handle to pull Master Liao out of his mouth.
Xiao Chen left the hilt of the Xiuchun knife on the bed and threw it against the wall. Huang Anliang tore at it like a madman. His white hair, which was already messy, roared and vented like a madman.
In the hall of the East Factory, Lin Shangli held a tea bowl and listened quietly to Xiao Chen's report.
"Mr. Factory Lord, among the military attachés with more than a thousand households in Jinyiwei, how many are named Liao?" Xiao Chen picked up the tea bowl that Xiao Lizi had already served and drank most of it in one gulp.
"Just one." Lin Shangli replied slowly, with a solemn look on his face.
"One? Then there's no need to look for him. I'll bring the men of the Thirteenth Army to capture him in a moment." Xiao Chen looked excited.
After a battle of wits and courage with that old fox Huang Anliang, I finally dug out important information from his mouth.
Xiao Chen knew that the governor of Beizhen Fusi was named Liao Xianghe.
I originally thought that if there were other people named Liao in Jinyiwei, I would have to go through a lot of trouble to eliminate them one by one.
The factory owner said that there was only one person named Liao among the top executives of Jinyiwei. Xiao Chen couldn't help but be a little excited.
As long as Mr. Liao is arrested and brought to justice, the truth of the entire case will not be far away.
"You are asking about thousands of households. If the person who colluded with Huang Anliang has a low status in Jinyiwei, wouldn't you have arrested the wrong person?" Lin Shangli said slowly.
"Mr. Factory Master, I don't know. I learned from Huang Anliang's mouth that that man is wearing a Xiuchun Dao. In the Jinyi Guards, those who can wear Xiuchun Dao, how low their status can be." Xiao Chen chuckled.
"Hundred households also carry embroidered spring knives, so we should be more cautious." Lin Shangli said with a smile, "Huang Anliang can call the other party Mr. Liao, which means that the other party's position is not low. But is there anyone named Liao among the hundreds of households?
Yes, let’s go through this procedure.”
Xiao Chen nodded: "Sir, you have considered it carefully, so let's check it out first."
Lin Shangli looked at Little Lizi next to him: "Little Lizi, go get the roster of Jin Yiwei officials."
"Yes." Xiao Lizi turned and left.
When Dongchang was established, in order to facilitate future case handling, a special organization was set up to store information such as the positions and resumes of all officials in the court for review.
Not long after, Little Plum walked out holding a thin blue booklet.
Putting it on the table: "This is the distribution list of Jinyi Weixiu Chun Dao, which is the list of everyone in more than 100 households."
Lin Shangli pushed forward, looked at Xiao Chen and said, "You have good eyes. Look carefully and don't miss anything."
Xiao Chen waved to Duan Tianming next to him: "Come and watch together, I'm afraid I'll miss it."
This booklet is not very thick, and within half a quarter of an hour, the two of them read the entire booklet.
After closing the book and pushing it back to Lin Shangli, Xiao Chen shook his head: "Except for Liao Xianghe, there is no one named Liao."
Lin Shangli put his hands on the table and slowly stood up.
"We at Dongchang can arrest everyone else directly, but Liao Xianghe cannot be arrested directly," Lin Shangli said.
"Why? Afraid of him resisting?" Xiao Chen didn't understand.
Xu Kaiying, the commander of Jinyiwei, could only nod and bow in front of the factory boss. This Liao Xianghe was just the governor of Fusi, Jinyiwei North Town, so why couldn't he be arrested directly.
Lin Shangli shook his head: "Although you used to work in Jinyiwei and belonged to Beizhen Fusi, you have no idea about the high-level structure of Beizhen Fusi."
"Please let me know, Mr. Factory Master," Xiao Chen said.
"In your opinion, the most powerful person in the Jinyi Guard is Commander Xu Kaiying?" Looking at Xiao Chen, Lin Shangli asked with a smile.
"Of course it's Xu Kaiying. Everyone knows that the most powerful person in a guard is the commander. What do you mean, Mr. Factory Master, the most powerful person in the Jinyi Guard is not the commander?"
Lin Shangli shook his head: "It cannot be said that in ordinary guards, the commander is the one with the greatest power. However, in the Jinyi Guard, on the surface, the commander is the highest military attache, but in fact, the one with the most real power is
The envoy of Fusi in Beizhen."
"Beizhen Fusi is responsible for the imperial edicts and prisons. Major cases named by the emperor can be submitted directly to the emperor without going through the commander. Therefore, it is a bit troublesome for Liao Xianghe to move."
"What do you mean, Mr. Factory Lord, if you want to touch Liao Xianghe, you must get the emperor's consent?" Xiao Chen asked.
"Yes." Lin Shangli looked serious, "Liao Xianghe has always been responsible for the issue of the imperial prison. If he is arrested directly, the affairs in the imperial prison will be greatly affected. Without the emperor's consent, we will act directly.
I'm afraid that Liao Xianghe will jump over the wall, destroy the prison materials, and kill the criminals. If this really happens, the emperor will definitely put this responsibility on our heads."
"Then what should we do? Even if the emperor agrees and we go to arrest him, he will still jump over the wall in a hurry." Xiao Chen said.
"I will report to the emperor, and then lead him out of Beizhen Fusi and arrest him." Lin Shangli lowered his head and thought for a moment before saying.
Xiao Chen shook his head: "Huang Anliang has been arrested, so Liao Xianghe must be very cautious at the moment. It may not be easy to lure him out."
"We will make detailed arrangements for the specific arrest later. While it is still early, I will go to the palace and report the matter to the emperor first. With the emperor's consent, we can take action at any time." With that, Lin Shangli
stood up.
"Xiao Lizi, greet them and I'll go to the palace."
Looking at Lin Shangli's figure hurriedly walking out of the door, Duan Tianming said: "Xiao Chen, tell me, are there any of Liao Xianghe's accomplices in the Jinyi Guards?"
"There must be such a big conspiracy that he alone cannot execute." Xiao Chen said.
"Then, this Liao Xianghe is the biggest mastermind of this conspiracy?"
"Among the Jin Yiwei, he may be the biggest. But I feel that there is someone else behind the whole conspiracy. The only way to know the details is to take down Liao Xianghe and get it from his mouth." Xiao Chen said.
While talking, Xiao Lizi came over with two bowls of tea: "Here, I'll give you a taste of Yunnan's ripe Pu'er tea."
With that said, each person took a bowl and placed it in front of the two of them.
"Yunnan Pu'er? I never heard the factory owner say before that he has Yunnan Pu'er here." After taking a sip, Xiao Chen looked at Xiao Lizi.
"This Yunnan Pu'er was given by Xu Kaiying, the commander of the Jinyi Guards." Xiao Lizi chuckled and held the tea tray under his arm.
"The people who came to beg the factory owner to release them also gave them a can of tea?" Xiao Chen was stunned.
