Start with detective Li Yuanfang

Chapter 120 Di Pangpang: Oops, the mantra has been learned!

"Li Jiyi is going to investigate Dou's Chamber of Commerce?"

Just walking out of the gate of Dali Temple Prison, Li Qianru suddenly asked.

"Jia Sibo's palace is extremely deep. I won't believe everything he says."

Li Yan's expression was indifferent: "However, there are no other clues at this time. I will focus on Dou and see if I can gain anything."

Li Qianru lowered his voice: "The four major chambers of commerce in Chang'an are headed by the Dou family, and the Li family is second. The Li family's chamber of commerce belongs to the Li family in Zhaojun. We, the Li family and the Dou family, have had many conflicts in recent years..."

Li Yan glanced at him, smiled and said, "What do you want to say?"

Li Qianru said: "Li Jiyi should know that I am a son of a concubine. I was not valued in my early years, and I was promoted by solving crimes. This time, many people were involved in the Zhou Guogong case and were exiled to Lingnan. In the position of Cheng, the family has contributed a lot, and they kept me, in fact, to deal with the Dou Chamber of Commerce."

After saying these words, Li Qianru simply cupped his hands and bowed: "But this official is more willing to work for Li Jiyi, and I hope Jiyi will take him in!"

Li Yan stopped and scolded in a low voice: "Nonsense, we are all working for saints!"

Li Qianru hurriedly bowed again: "Yes, we are all working for the saints, but Li Jiyi also knows that I have offended me a lot in the past, I only hope that I will do my best in the future to forgive my past sins!"

Li Yan looked at this guy, and felt that he had also encountered a top-quality guy, who could put down his figure compared to Qiu Shenji.

Is this the sorrow of a concubine?
This kind of person is really not necessarily useless, let alone this matter, once he refuses, it will be a deadly enemy.

Li Yandao: "If you can get Qiu Wuwei's understanding, our previous affairs will be written off."

Li Qianru's face was bitter, but when he thought of Li Yan letting go, he showed joy again, and nodded quickly: "Yes, yes, I will definitely ask Qiu Wuwei to forgive me!"

Li Yan nodded: "Tell me, what kind of conflicts do you have between the Li family of Zhao County and the Dou family?"

Li Qianru began to tell.

Not surprisingly, it was still the struggle for power between the Guanlong gentry and the Shandong gentry.

People in later generations always thought that the Shandong gentry looked down on Li Shimin's Hu people's blood, and the two sides had conflicts.

In fact, the lineage of Li Yuan and Li Shimin originated from the Six Towns Uprising. Whether it is Han or Hu has long been a historical mystery and it is not clear.

What half Han and half Hu people are just brain supplements.

The conflict between the Shandong gentry and Li Shimin has little to do with blood, but the main reason is that the distribution of power is not in place.

Most of the Shandong gentry originally supported Li Jiancheng. Seeing that they were about to reap the benefits, Li Shimin didn't talk about martial arts, or said that martial arts were too abundant. , naturally grows accordingly.

The cake of power was there, most of the heroes from Guanlong were cut off, and the Shandong gentry stood aside. Naturally, they were extremely upset, but there was nothing they could do.

Ever since, they used the remaining prestige of the Northern and Southern Dynasties to encircle themselves, and at the same time they made up small jokes.

For example, at the beginning of "Journey to the West", Li Shimin was scolded by Li Jiancheng and Li Yuanji when he traveled to the underworld, and he fled back to the world after bribing the judge. Fabricated and disseminated among the people.

If they really looked down on Li Tang's royal family so much, they would not have supported Li Jiancheng at first, and they would not have become officials again and again after the Anshi Rebellion.

Isn't it just that the power is vacated, and they swarm up...

Of course, not all those who were born in the Shandong gentry were not favored in the early Tang Dynasty.

For example, Li Mengchang of the Li family in Zhaojun was one of the six cavalry led by Li Shimin during the Weishui alliance.

Li Mengchang followed Li Shimin to conquer the Quartet in his early years, and later participated in the Xuanwu Gate Change. He was also a member of Conglong Zhigong, and he can be called a confidant.

During the Zhenguan period, following Li Jing and Li Ji's defeat of the Eastern Turks, in the Gaozong period, he worshiped the third-rank general Youweiwei. He didn't die until five years ago, and he lived for seventy-four years.

Li Qianru is Li Mengchang's nephew, talking about this uncle, don't mention how glorious it is.

Interestingly, the pillar of the Dou family, Prime Minister Dou Dexuan, also died five years ago.

After Li Mengchang's death, the power of the Li family in Zhaojun inevitably declined, and the consequences of Dou Dexuan's death were similar.

One is the Dou family in the Guanlong Group, who connects various families with foreign relatives.

One is the Li family among the Shandong gentry, who was active in the political arena with Conglong's achievements.

The commercial struggle between the two chambers of commerce is actually an extension of power.

Li Yan knew what Li Qianru said, there must be a lot of selfishness, but he didn't care, nodded slightly and said: "If there is a chance, I will ask my order to transfer you to the inner guard."

The work of Dali Temple Chancellor is actually quite hard. He does all the dirty work, but he doesn't see much credit. Li Qianru wants to get rid of this quagmire as soon as possible by curry favor with the nobles.

At this time, I couldn't help being overjoyed when I heard it. If I can join the inner guard, and I am under this command, I am afraid that I will not have the opportunity to make meritorious deeds?

Immediately bowed three times: "Thank you, Li Jiyi!"

Li Yan exhorted a few words in a low voice, watched the prime minister of Dali Temple leave, and then returned to the poisoning scene.

Candles were brightly lit here, and the Ministry of Punishment, Dali Temple, Wannian Chang'an County Government, and Neiwei came in and out and searched.

Judging from their expressions, no fart was found, but we can't rest when others are working.

Especially under Li Yan's command, the fighting spirit is the most high-spirited.

Pei Xingjian stood on the side, with a calm expression and elegant demeanor, but the fingers behind his back trembled from time to time.

Li Yan went up: "Pei Gong, I just got the information from Jia Sibo."

He briefly explained the process, and Pei Xingjian praised: "Yuan Fang is really clever and flexible, and he lives up to his position. I will face the saint tomorrow, and I will present this merit!"

Li Yan was taken aback for a moment, then after thinking about it, he realized that he had arranged for Li Zhi after all.

Although it is a good thing to say, but with Li Zhi's gentle and gloomy personality on the surface, it is hard to guarantee that he will not have a view in the future.

Pei Xingjian wanted to help him avoid future troubles, the old minister was careful, and his actions were tight.

He immediately cupped his hands and said, "Thank you, Mr. Pei."

Pei Xingjian stroking his beard and smiling, but thinking of the Dou's Chamber of Commerce, he asked in a condensed voice: "The Dou's is no better than others, just based on Jia thief's one-sided words, are you sure?"

Li Yan shook his head: "I can't guarantee that what he said must be the truth. I don't rule out the possibility that Jia Sibo deliberately leaked information and misled us, but the deadline is the key. We have no choice but to catch the murderer within ten days. Read it, hoping that all the scholars in the world who have entered the imperial examination will give an explanation!"

Pei Xingjian was obviously very decisive, and nodded immediately: "That's right, now, no matter who is involved, we must investigate to the end!"

Li Yan likes to investigate thoroughly to the end, and with the help of the big brother Pei Xingjian, he is also refreshed: "Investigate to the end!"

With the clue, Pei Xingjian let out a tense breath, feeling more and more tired.

He belongs to the Confucian generals, not the kind of martial arts with a top-notch physique, after all, he is in his fifties.

Li Yan hurriedly supported him: "Pei Gong, let's go back to the house to rest, we are also putting pressure on our subordinates here, which is not conducive to the progress of the case."

Pei Xingjian laughed, patted Li Yan's hand, and sighed: "Yuan Fang, you are young and promising, and you have a good understanding of people, good! Good!"

Sending Pei Xingjian to the horse, Li Yan also got on the horse, and then wrote a note with a pen, and handed it to Wang Xiaojie who was closest: "For others, pass it on."

"Yes!"

Wang Xiaojie looked at what was written on the paper, and he was a little unclear, so he went to Qiu Shenji first: "Liu Lang gave it to me, everyone should read it."

"The source of the poison pill, Dou's Chamber of Commerce?"

Seeing Qiu Shenji, his expression immediately brightened.

At that time, he arrested Mrs. Shu's fake mother, who was pretending to be a servant of Dou's Chamber of Commerce.

In the end, the woman who claimed to be Rong Niang turned out to be the inner guard of Plum Blossom, and Qiu Ying had to come forward to send her away.

Of course, Qiu Shenji, the inner guard of the plum blossom, did not dare to provoke him, but he also knew that the group of spies who were ordered by the sage were also watching Dou Shi.

That being the case, his expression suddenly became fierce: "Okay, I have long seen that the Dou's Chamber of Commerce hides dirt and evil, and I want to check it out!"

At this moment, Di Renjie and Guo Yuanzhen walked over side by side.

After the exchange, the oldest and the youngest two under Li Yan's command actually liked each other the most.

In terms of working ability, these two people are indeed the strongest.

At this time, Di Renjie discovered the blind spot, and came up after seeing the two people: "Qiu Wuwei, Wang Wuwei, these boxes are stored by Zhang Yang. I just arrived in Chang'an, and I don't know where they came from. I hope for advice!"

He held a few small and exquisite boxes in his hand, made of wood, with a faint fragrance, with a piece of silk cloth in the middle, and a hollow pattern can be seen when the lid is closed.

Wang Xiaojie picked up one, but he didn't know it, but thought it was very delicate. Qiu Shenji also took one, played with it, and said with certainty: "This box is from Chang'an Dachang."

Di Renjie's eyes brightened: "Please Qiu Wuwei explain in detail."

Qiu Shenji said: "This kind of system is an imitation of the tribute box. During the Zhenguan period, it was only available in the palace. Later, as the people became rich, the merchants modified it to raise the price. Don't look at this small box, it is enough to double the price of the product. , I... I have a friend who once suffered a loss!"

Di Renjie frowned: "From this point of view, Zhang Yang's elixir is probably related to the merchant. Next, we need to investigate not only the Taoist temple, but also the shop?"

Guo Yuanzhen also found it tricky: "There are too many big shops in Chang'an, it only takes ten days, how can we find them?"

Wang Xiaojie said with a smile: "There is no need to check one by one, Liu Lang has already set a precise goal for us, look!"

"The source of the poison pill, Dou's Chamber of Commerce?"

Di Renjie and Guo Yuanzhen received the note with surprise on their faces: "How do you know this?"

After so many things, Qiu Shenji was also convinced: "Could it be that Liu Lang was an opportunistic agent. We endured the stench and searched around in the courtyard, but found nothing. Liu Lang went out and found the exact target."

Di Renjie recalled carefully, and the scenes flashed through his mind quickly, checking whether he had missed anything.

Turns out it didn't.

In this way, he didn't understand the origin of the clue even more, so he couldn't help praising: "Li Jiyi is really a strange person!"

Everyone looked at the new fat guy in surprise, feeling a sense of competition, and said in unison: "Li Jiyi is really a strange person!!"

Di Renjie: "..."
