MTL - Chang’an Small Restaurant-Chapter 103 Restart the King Wu case
The forbidden army surrounded a Taoist temple in Changlefang. In the front yard, soldiers like wolves held down several Taoist priests and several pilgrims who were chanting sutras. One Taoist priest tried to resist, but was knocked unconscious by the soldiers who pressed him with the back of a knife, while the pilgrims were holding their heads and trembling. There was a brief sound of fighting in the backyard.
The same thing happened in Fenglefang, Judefang and Fuxingfang.
At the same time, the gates of the city were also closed, and the brigade of the Imperial Army surrounded the residence of King Zhao in Beijing.
Such a big movement, everyone who should know the news should know it The official uniform is ready to enter the palace. The rest of the officials are also inquiring, some are afraid, and some are guessing...
The twilight drum has been played, and Chang'an tonight is destined to not be peaceful.
In the Daming Palace, the emperor asked Heyang King some details. After listening to the passage of "Ambush at the Palace Gate", the emperor's face sank like water, "I never imagined that I would fall asleep with poisonous snakes every day."
King Heyang grinned, "It's strange that you always said that you slept coldly a few days ago..."
The emperor was full of anger, half of it was doused by his indifferent "coolness".
The emperor pursed his lips, "Why are you still wearing these clothes? Go, change into my regular clothes!"
"I can't wear your clothes—"
The emperor thought he was talking about arrogance, and just about to say something, he heard King Heyang say: "Your waist is so thick, I don't look good in it."
Emperor: "…"
The emperor was really annoyed when he saw this brother, and just wanted him to go back, but in the end he remembered, "It's not peaceful outside, so you saved the disaster for me, don't let those thieves and dogs jump off the wall and hurt you. Take a rest, Dedian, and leave in two days."
"Brother Xie, it's just my beauties—" Looking at the emperor's face, King Heyang didn't dare to make trouble, he pouted, saluted, and walked out.
In front of the gate of the temple, I met Qin Xiang, the commander of the Imperial Guard, and Lin Yan, the leader of Jingzhao Shaoyin.
The three of them are considered a "comrade" who has been lying in a ditch. Looking at Qin Xiang's face, King Heyang raised his eyebrows, "What's wrong? It's not going well?"
Qin Xiang was about to say something when King Heyang raised his hand and said, "Don't tell me, the saint is waiting for you." He walked away leisurely with his hands down.
Qin Xiang was really angry, and he came to report just now, but he did not catch the fourth son of King Zhao, Li Xing! The errand that was originally going well has therefore become unsatisfactory, and it is extremely unsatisfactory. Although Qin Xiang was not so far-sighted, he also knew that it was very important to catch Li Xie when he faced King Zhao in the future. These rice buckets!
For Lin Yan, Qin Xiang was a little embarrassed. The entire ambush and arrest was performed by this Lin Shaoyin in front of the imperial guard, and was jointly handled by the Imperial Guard and Jingzhao House. Jingzhao has a limited number of people, and tracking the secret investigation is the strength of the forbidden army. Lin Shaoyin handed over the two places and context information they initially tracked to the forbidden army, and the forbidden army found another dark nest. At that time, in one of the dark nests, he had seen a young man dressed in brocade and beautiful clothes, and the investigators thought it was Li Xian, and only waited for the final capture—who knows, it was a substitute! That Qiao Hai is indeed a powerful counselor around King Zhao.
I missed this best opportunity to find someone in such a big capital…
"Run?" Hearing Qin Xiang's report, the emperor frowned and paused for a moment, "Since he has come, he will not hide far away, he must have been in Beijing when the incident happened. The city gate is closed, and he can't run away, so the whole city will be searched."
Qin Xiang and Lin Yan both saluted and said yes.
Because the censorship of King Zhao's mansion and property by the forbidden army is still in progress, Qin Xiang has the heart of "in case" to catch Li Xie, and informs about Li Xie after the copy inspection process , Qin Xiang then went back to supervise, leaving Lin Yanyu to play alone.
The emperor is very satisfied with this young Jingzhao Shaoyin, whether it is the rescue and ambush arrest, the handling of rumors in Gyeonggi in summer, or the actions of Jingzhao House on weekdays, They are all decisive and prudent, and they are quite strategic, not blindly brave. This place in Jingzhao has many nobles and many right and wrong. If the Jingzhao mansion is soft or stupid, the capital will be in chaos.
In recent years, the governor of Jingzhao and Shaoyin have changed frequently. The emperor felt that this time he finally found a long-term one—perhaps he should make a move and let the old man go to Luoyang for the elderly. Haven't you been looking for an outside job? He named Lin Yan as Jing Zhaoyin, and assigned him an assistant.
Looking at Lin Yan, the emperor smiled, everything was fine, but he was too young...
The emperor was thinking about the appointment, dismissal and replacement of Jingzhao officials, but what Lin Yan wanted was to re-investigate the case of King Wu.
Inspecting the Shen family's dossier inevitably involves the King Wu case. From the dossier, from the conversations with Chu Di and other insiders, and from some corners and corners of the text found in the Jingzhao Mansion and the Ministry of Punishment, Lin Yan has some speculations about the King Wu case—the Wu King case was even more implicated. Among them, the most famous is not Duke Shen, but Huo Chen, the Jiedu envoy of Hedong.
However, could it be that King Wu was actually implicated by Huo Chen? After all, King Wu was just an idle prince, but Jiedu of Hedong, who governed Taiyuan, governed many states and counties, and had soldiers under his command to guard against the Hu people, his position was too important.
Huo Chen accident, who is the beneficiary? King Zhao, the shepherd of Taiyuan, was ordered to take over Huo Chen's military power for many years...
Rumours abounded in the capital last summer, how similar the situation was in the last years of the emperor! A's inference points directly to the northern capital of Taiyuan. Those thieves smelled of cured meat. The one in the same workshop that was related to Beidu and probably had a lot of cured meat was Yunlai Winery—that was the property of King Zhao.
At that time, Lin Yan had people sneak into the warehouse of Yunlai liquor store to check, and it was cleaned very cleanly, and there was no trace, but sometimes it was too clean and it was a trace in itself.
But they were too impatient. This winter and spring have begun again, and this time they have done even more. The key is that they chose Shenji as the place to commit the crime, and there is an A-li who can go to the Ministry of Punishment or Dali Temple to be an official...
Involving the forbidden army, involving the barbarians, the action is hasty and urgent, it is too easy to set an ambush for them.
Thinking of Shen Shaoguang, Lin Yan smiled, and then took out from his sleeves the preliminary trial of the criminals caught in the liquor store. The time is short, and they are all dead men, and the results are limited. It is still necessary to let the people from the Ministry of Punishment and Dali Temple grind it slowly.
At the same time, Lin Yan also handed over the situation that he had sent people to the northern capital and the hometown of the so-called "Dude Qing Miao Fu Yuan Renren" Weizhou and Shimen to investigate.
Lin Yan first pleaded with the emperor: "This minister, without His Majesty's permission, privately investigated the case of King Wu of that year, and asks His Majesty to convict."
The emperor waved his hand. In the past, when he was like this, the emperor was naturally unhappy, but now he just thought he was smart and capable.
"Your Majesty, please see, this is what the minister found in Beidu."
"The mausoleum of the Xiandi collapsed, and the Dadaqing Miaofuyuan real person floated away. Some of the acquaintances said that he had ascended in the day and became a fairy, and some said that he had wandered away. In fact, , he went, or returned to the northern capital. Here is the testimony of the Taoist priest Qingjingguan in Taiyuan, and a 'noble' from the Zhao Wangfu went to Guanli for a few days every year. This 'noble person' died the year before, so he was buried on the mountain behind the temple, and his name was written on the stele as 'Wang Qingmiao'."
"Your Majesty, please look at the Weizhou section at the back, this real person is 'wang' and has no name, and the villagers only call him a 'dalang'. The real person Qingmiao and the one we caught today Qiao Hai is both from the same town and from the same family. This Qiao Hai was originally named Heizhu. When he was a child, he went into the river to fish for fish, and the fish bit him. The flesh festered and was dug up with a knife, leaving a big scar. According to their playmate, Mr. Liu The old man said that it was the real person who did it himself. I have seen this scar before."
"Your Majesty look below..."
Wu Wang was convicted at first because of the "prophecy" of the Taoist priest, and later it became more and more involved, and there were more "criminal evidence", Lin Yan started from this root, That Taoist priest is simply a person with ulterior motives, let alone a "prophecy"!
In the face of such evidence, the emperor really couldn't say something like "just check the present, let him pass the past".
The emperor looked at Lin Yan with a smile: "It's not a one-off effort to get such a complete investigation. How did An Ran remember to investigate the case of King Wu?"
"Not for King Wu, but for the father-in-law of the minister, Duke Shen." Lin Yan said calmly.
The emperor reacted, "Shen Qian, Minister of Rites?"
"Yes."
"My fiancee, Mrs. Shen, was a palace servant who was released last spring. I don't know if Your Majesty has seen it before, but she is the female shopkeeper of Shenji in the East City."
The emperor suddenly realized that he only said that the owner of Shenji had found clues, and he only suspected that they were friends and friends, and he was the one who wrote the preface to the poetry collection...
The emperor asked with a smile: "The preface on the poetry collection, but you wrote it?"
Lin Yan smiled, "It was written by the minister."
The emperor laughed, "I'm still just a sage, but it's already in my court."
Lin Yan also smiled.
Thinking of Shen Ji's prudence not to sell food to the forbidden army, as well as pots, recipes, poetry collections, teasing, Shen Xiaofei is really a - the emperor hesitated a little, it seems that it is not right to say "talent" , This is not the case with the talented women in Beijing. Saying "interesting" seems to be not only...
The emperor jokingly said: "An Ran has a good vision."
Lin Yan smiled and nodded: "She is really good."
The emperor had never seen such shameless praise for his wife, so he didn't know how to react.
"Last summer, the thief in the rumor case tried to hold her hostage to blackmail the minister. She was not afraid of the danger, and gave the minister with a knife to kill a fish. Later, she speculated based on the smell of the thief's body and the taste of the food... "
Listening to him, he went back to King Zhao, the case of King Wu, or Shen Qian's case, the emperor smiled, that's all, fair, this thing should always be given.
Listening to the emperor's answer, Lin Yan solemnly saluted.
Seeing that he has already regarded himself as a half-son of Shen Qian, the emperor suddenly felt a little sour. He had so many beauties in his harem, and he thought it was very good. As if something was missing.
"Where has An Ran and Shen Xiaoniang's six rituals come?"
Lin Yan pursed his lips: "I'm still waiting for Mr. Shen to come to Beijing to host."
The emperor's acid is gone, oh, it turns out that he just said it lively...
The author has something to say:
Changed the name of King Zhao's son, and suddenly found that it was homophonic with Li Xiang's name.
——
Today is a day for Lin Shaoyin to show affection.
Emperor: …haven’t seen anything like this before!
The King of Heyang: I learned, the cakes baked by my beauties are delicious!
