Start with detective Li Yuanfang

Chapter 133 Di Pangpang's Assist
After Li Yan left the Ministry of Punishment, he went to the Ministry of Officials next to him and retrieved the files of officials in Runzhou.

After reading it, he found that this case was definitely a big event for the local area.

Because almost all officials in Dantu County were demoted.

The county magistrate Qi of Dantu County was imprisoned directly, and his wife and daughter were sent to Ye Court.

The two county lieutenants all resigned. Among them, Lin Jianye, the county lieutenant who divided Facao, should be Ming Chongyan's master.

There is also a list at the back. Generally speaking, basically all the officials and officials of the county government have been wiped out.

This is suspicious again.

If it's just the bandits who caused trouble to the village, do they need to be punished so severely?
In this day and age, the lives of ordinary people are very contemptible, no matter how many people die, unless the saint is furious, the three provinces and six ministries will not punish them on such a large scale when dealing with it, but the saint does not know about the case.

What's even weirder is that the county magistrate was imprisoned, but Lin Jianye, who was a lawyer, just resigned...

Li Yan returned to the inner guard station with many questions.

Before I got inside, I saw people coming in and out, with dissatisfaction on their brows.

This feeling of dissatisfaction was not aimed at him. Seeing him walk in, all levels greeted him constantly along the way, full of respect.

Even the chance envoys who had acquainted with them before nodding showed smiles.

With such a detective around, the inner guard can always be ahead of the others, and everyone will be honored.

However, some people's food appearance is too ugly, which is despised by others.

As soon as Li Yan inquired, he knew that Qiu Shenji and Wang Xiaojie had publicized the matter.

In fact, everyone was staring at this case, and Huang Zhen's actions could not have been hidden from others.

But once it is publicized like this, everyone knows it, and there are all kinds of ugly words.

Of course, there is one person who is most excited.

"My father was wronged! Anyone who dares to torture my father, come at me!!"

Before Li Yan approached, he heard Dou Jing's hoarse roar.

"Is this acting out?"

Li Yan raised his eyebrows.

It's not surprising that in ancient times, filial piety was very important. Whether it is true filial piety or fake acting, it must be done.

For example, Li Shimin wanted to revise the history books after the Xuanwu Gate coup. Which part should he focus on?Kill brothers?Or enter the palace to force the father?

According to the concept of later generations, the former is more cruel, and the former should be covered up, but on the contrary, Li Shimin has no taboo about killing Li Jiancheng and Li Yuanji at all, just spread it according to the tone of "Zhou Gong punishes Cai". Li Shimin's real taboo is Li Yuan's attitude , so he was enthroned in the Crown Prince's East Palace, and Zhenguan's office was also in the East Palace a few years ago. The Taiji Palace has always been the residence of Li Yuan, and the struggle between father and son is quite interesting.

Later, Li Xian's prince, Li Chongjun, launched a coup, first killed Wu Sansi and his son, and later killed Empress Wei. They were all under the Xuanwu Gate. As soon as Li Xian showed up, he was persuaded, and his subordinates also turned against each other. In the end, the army was defeated and killed, which is almost the same reason.

So it is impossible for Dou Jing to get rid of herself. Dou Decheng was arrested, so he had to come forward to protect his father.

Li Yan strolled in the courtyard, and when he came to the place where the quarrel was fierce, he saw that Dou Jing was even about to fight, and it was a few Wu Dewei who tried their best to hold him up.

But Huang Zhen's attitude was also unyielding: "Dou Jiyi, you should quickly avoid this case and don't disturb the interrogation, otherwise you will be punished for delay. Don't blame me for not being a colleague!"

Dou Jing roared: "You and I are of the same rank, why do you punish me! I just want to see my father and ask why, and you can all listen by the side, why not!"

Huang Zhen said coldly: "The reason why your father and son are not allowed to meet is because the thief Dou should not be allowed to take chances. We must interrogate immediately, find out the murderer, and give an explanation to the new scholar! Dou Jiyi, if Cui Ge brings you Convicted, there is really no room for change!"

Dou Jing screamed: "You call my father a thief? He hasn't been convicted yet, how dare he insult me ​​like this!"

Seeing Dou Jing struggling continuously, Huang Zhen simply waved his hands: "They're all inner guards, how can you drag them out and get them out of here!!"

Huang Zhen's Wu Dewei immediately stepped forward, how could Dou Jing's Wu Dewei be willing, the two sides pushed and shoved, seeing that a full martial arts was about to be staged.

But Huang Zhen squinted his eyes, but found that Li Yan was standing not far away, enjoying watching the play, and immediately said loudly: "Li Jiyi is here!"

Sure enough, Dou Jing was distracted, turned her head and roared: "Li Yuanfang, if you dare to arrest my father, we will never stop! We will never stop!!"

Li Yanli ignored this stupid threat, and simply came to Huang Zhen: "I interrogated Jia Sibo last night, and it was quite rewarding. Can you hand over Jia Sibo to the inner guard in advance?"

"Swap prisoners?"

Huang Zhen hesitated for a moment.

He still doesn't know what happened in the Zichen Palace, and he doesn't know how much his old backer Cui Shouye's blood pressure has soared in just over an hour.

In his opinion, intercepting Dou Decheng, the more important suspect at present, and handing Jia Sibo to Li Yan for interrogation according to official rules, is also reasonable.

But thinking of Cui Shouye's dislike for this person, coupled with Li Yan's attitude in front of the imperial city, Huang Zhen's heart sank: "Not in advance, after a few days, when Dali Temple is handed over, Li Jiyi will not be too late to interrogate him!"

What Li Yan actually wanted was to refuse, and said coldly: "Huang Jiyi, I know that you want to share the worries of the saint, and want to find out the truth quickly, but stay on the sidelines in everything. I saw the Jia clan being taken into the capital before. It is unreasonable to implicate the whole family and spread to the local area if the interrogation fails to obtain the desired crime!"

After all, turn around and leave.

It doesn't matter if he leaves, Dou Jing's eyelids twitched and her face changed drastically when she heard it.

Cui Shouye interrogated Jia Sibo, but Jia Sibo refused to explain, and implicated the Jia family in Wuwei.

Lesson from the past, when this old guy interrogates Dou Decheng, if he can't interrogate what he wants, will Cui Shouye dare to implicate Dou?
The cruel methods of that servant of the Ministry of Punishment have always been widely known. If he really wants to please the saint and get a phase, what can't he do?
Dou's family is from a relative, so uprooting him would naturally not be possible, and he would be severely injured by tossing!
After all, he is a high school student, Dou Jing gave up struggling, turned around and left.

Before Dou Jing yelled, Huang Zhen didn't care, but now seeing the other party leaving resolutely, his expression changed slightly.

But there was no turning back when he opened the bow, and he immediately entered the inner prison, with a cold light in his eyes: "Bring thief Dou here, I will interrogate him myself!"

……

On the other side, watching Dou Jing leave the inner guard in a hurry, Li Yan looked away.

Cui Shouye made a very bad start, rashly spreading the blow to the entire gentry.

It is possible to do so in terms of moral conviction.

But in the context of the times, doing so will definitely cause social turmoil, and it is very unwise.

Cui Shouye is definitely not a person without political wisdom to be the minister of the Ministry of punishment.

The reason why he acted so cruelly was that he was stimulated by the prime minister's position.

But now, the aftermath of going to extremes came.

Dou's is not easy to mess with, so strangle him to death!
Li Yan returned to his seat and looked through the materials of the Jiangnan case again.

Just after watching it for the first time, footsteps came from ahead, and Di Renjie, Guo Yuanzhen and Peng Botong walked over.

Seeing Li Yan raised his head, Guo Yuanzhen's face was full of excitement: "We have all heard that Li Jiyi took down the incomparable Dou's Chamber of Commerce in just one morning, and thoroughly investigated the lawlessness. It's too powerful!"

Li Yanqi: "Is this kind of saying spread among the people?"

Guo Yuanzhen nodded: "Now Dongshi has begun to circulate your achievements."

Li Yan immediately understood: "It was spread by people from Li's Chamber of Commerce. In order to further damage Dou's reputation, don't take it seriously. What did you find?"

As soon as this remark came out, Guo Yuanzhen was a little ashamed, Di Renjie was a little embarrassed, and Bloomberg said straight away: "There is nothing!"

Li Yan laughed: "I ignored it, you should be allowed to act collectively with the inner guard."

Investigating cases is actually based on social status. When Di Renjie was the prime minister, when he went to investigate local cases, he was sometimes blocked by local evil forces.

Not to mention that he is just a Wuwei who just transferred from Fa Cao, and the other two are the same.

Let them walk around the rich and powerful, and the poor family is not as good as a dog's capital to investigate alone, not to say that there will be no gains, but it can only be lucky.

However, after brainstorming, Li Yanting trusted the wisdom of Di Renjie and Guo Yuanzhen, and explained the situation and doubts he had investigated.

The three were extremely shocked by the Jiangnan murder case. Guo Yuanzhen first raised doubts: "The deceased Zhang Yang was originally from Runzhou, Jiangnan Province. Since there was a bloody case before, why did he persuade everyone to take the pill this time?"

Di Renjie was more experienced, and sighed: "People's hearts are complicated. Perhaps it was the past that stimulated Zhang Yang, which led him to go astray and believe in elixir."

Li Yan nodded: "Huaiying is right. It is precisely because Zhang Yang was born in Runzhou that Zhang Yang, who failed the test many times, bet his last hope of passing the exam on this, and then was used by the murderer."

Guo Yuanzhen smiled bitterly: "I don't quite understand..."

Li Yan snorted coldly: "Isn't it the same for Dou Decheng? He knew that this pill had killed many people and had a great relationship with it. He also changed the name of the pill to Shaoyang Pill and sold it secretly. Hmph, people who are blinded by profit , what can't be done?"

Di Renjie wanted to contribute: "Li Jiyi, can you take a look at the alchemy account book in the Dou Chamber of Commerce?"

Li Yan shook his head: "Dou Decheng didn't hand it over, and the internal guards searched in the chamber of commerce, but they didn't find any account books."

Di Renjie frowned and thought for a moment, then slowly said: "It's not right for Dou to be in charge."

Guo Yuanzhen said: "No problem. Only by protecting customer information can merchants have credibility. Those dignitaries who secretly buy pills should be the key contacts of Dou's Chamber of Commerce. Dou Decheng also hopes that those people can protect him thoroughly!"

Li Yan was just listening, but suddenly his expression changed: "Huaiying reminded you right, Dou Decheng did this very strange thing. In this case, it is better to hand over the list than to protect the client's information!"

Guo Yuanzhen was puzzled.

Li Yan began to pace and analyze habitually, and Di Renjie and Guo Yuanzhen followed from left to right:

"Dou Decheng clearly knew that Yundan was related to the Jiangnan massacre six years ago, and he has been secretly selling it all these years, and continued to supply the pill to the dignitaries in Beijing. He is responsible for this matter."

"Because Dou Decheng changed the name of the elixir, those who bought it did not know the origin of the elixir."

"Take a step back and say, so what if you know, one is willing to fight and the other is willing to suffer, and you still violate the "Tang Law"?"

"And now that the headquarters of Dou's Chamber of Commerce has been seized, the rival Li's Chamber of Commerce took the opportunity to spread the news and give it a fatal blow."

"Those well-informed dignitaries should also know that the pills they bought are the same kind of pills that the scholars took when they were poisoned."

"At this time, the protection list will cause panic, right?"

"On the contrary, hand over the list of drug purchases, and the inner guard will investigate the person who took the pill."

"If the people who took the pills have been fine all these years, wouldn't that just prove that there is nothing wrong with the pills from the Dou Chamber of Commerce?"

Hearing this, Guo Yuanzhen was taken aback, but said again: "Maybe Dou Decheng was completely panicked at the time, and subconsciously concealed it according to the professional instinct of a businessman?"

Di Renjie also nodded: "It's not impossible."

But Li Yan shook his head and said: "You didn't participate in the arrest process, and you don't know Dou Decheng well. This man is very cunning and decisive. If I hadn't got the help of the wise master, I'm afraid I wouldn't be able to catch the thief! Such a person panicked for a while. It is essential, but it is time to react..."

Li Yan turned his head and looked at Bloomberg, who was standing stupidly beside him, and his wisdom was out of place: "Botong, you take my token and go to the inner prison to watch the interrogation."

Bloomberg scratched his head: "Huh?"

Li Yandao: "You used to follow Dou Jiyi, and he also showed kindness to you. This time, he can also take the opportunity to repay it."

"Actually, Dou Jiyi is not very kind to me..."

Bloomberg has long been bought by Mutton these days, and he also feels that Li Yan values ​​him.

His great-grandfather was originally Han Qinhu's personal guard, and based on the relationship between Han Qinhu and Li Jing, he had long regarded Li Yan as A Lang.

As for Dou Jing who once looked down upon him very much and treated him like a thug, he didn't have a good impression.

But since Li Yan said it, Bloomberg nodded heavily: "Okay, I'll go right away!"

……

After Peng Botong went, Li Yan took out the case file, and the three of them analyzed and discussed.

Time passed quickly, and it was noon.

Everyone was working overtime this time, so the food from the public kitchen was delivered quickly.

Looking at the sumptuous public meal, Li Yan nodded slightly.

From these small details, it can also be seen that the status of inner guards is increasing day by day.

He reserved a portion for three people for Bloomberg, and was thinking about how to keep warm, when the big man came back.

Li Yan asked in surprise, "Has Dou De confessed?"

Peng Botong came in front of him, his face turned pale: "No, Huang Jiyi is so ruthless. Mr. Dou was beaten all over his body, but he kept gritting his teeth and didn't say anything. He is a good man!"

Li Yan's eyes moved slightly: "This is very weird, Broadcom, can you still eat it? Why don't you take it easy?"

"Eat it, eat it!"

When Bloomberg saw the delicious food, he moved his index finger, and immediately put those bloody things behind him and started cooking.

Li Yan laughed and started to eat himself.

Unexpectedly, after eating a portion of Bloomberg Tong, his stomach was full, and he suddenly remembered: "Dou Jiyi also brought a lot of people there. When I left, Huang Jiyi had already stopped the execution."

Li Yan paused with his chopsticks, and murmured, "It came so fast!"

In his judgment, Dou Jing went back to rescue the soldiers, at least until tomorrow, but after only a few hours, Huang Zhen was forced to continue to torture and extract a confession?
Guo Yuanzhen next to him put down his chopsticks and became excited: "From this point of view, Dou Decheng chose to hide the list, and those dignitaries really did their best to help him. There must be something inside!"

Di Renjie was thoughtful, and the cooking speed was unhurried, and he quickly extended to the second serving.

Li Yan nodded slightly. After eating, he summoned the inner guard: "Bring the evidence."

The inner guard brought Yun Dan, Li Yan opened the brocade box, looked at the pill, and said in a concentrated voice:

"I suddenly had an idea. You said that Dou's Chamber of Commerce took the risk to secretly sell this elixir. Is it Dou Decheng who wants to sell it, or those dignitaries who want to buy it?"
