Five years of county magistrate, 100 million catties of grain shocked Li Shimin

Chapter 251 Trading and solving the case, Pei Ji finally wakes up

First of all, it must be bad for the emperor to know what happened tonight.

The emperor would not like his courtiers to see the women he imprisoned, and he also disliked his courtiers' contact with restless forces.

As for how much impact it will have after being known by him, it is uncertain.

But under such circumstances, it is somewhat uneconomical to punish oneself heavily and reward Liu Zhenghui heavily.

"Lawyer Pei can't ask anything useful."

"After dawn, there is a high probability that we will not be able to find any news."

"This is a rare opportunity. If it succeeds, I will give you benefits for my grandfather."

Seeing Fang Yuan's silence, Liu Yichen's expression slowed down a lot.

She wanted to subdue Fang Yuan to take this risk and get that big reward.

"What's the benefit?"

Fang Yuan suddenly had a plan in mind.

"How about recommending you as the servant of the Ministry of Punishment?"

Liu Yichen said in a deep voice.

"It's not impossible, but it must be done according to my plan."

Fang Yuan filtered out his thoughts and said.

Not long ago, Mo Cailing said that within six months to a year, there would be a rebellion in Chang'an City.

At this time, you can go up by yourself, or you can avoid being involved in the storm, and avoid being targeted or liquidated afterwards.

The position of Chang'an Ling is too special. If there is a rebellion and it is not handled properly, neither the court nor the emperor will let it go.

"Tell me about your plan first."

Liu Yichen asked with a happy face.

"As you said, it is impossible to catch Nie Yinniang. There are even fewer people who know that she is the murderer."

"Then since we want to find a scapegoat, why not announce to the public that the murderer is from the Deng Ling family and has been caught by us."

"Pei Xiang hasn't woken up yet, and it's not certain whether he can wake up. Even if he wakes up, he doesn't necessarily know who the murderer is."

Fang Yuan said slowly.

It was part of a plan he had just thought of.

If this plan is done well, even if the emperor knows about it, there will be a way to get around it.

"Talent!"

"Fang Ling, you are really talented!"

"Greatly reduced risk in my approach!"

Liu Yichen was taken aback for a moment, but then became even happier.

The plan she just proposed is very risky.

But after Fang Yuan's improvement, the risk is greatly reduced.

First of all, Nie Yinniang came from the ink of the Deng Ling family, and she and others were right in saying that when they were arrested, they also arrested a ink of the Deng Ling family.

If it is discovered, it means that the information was wrong and the wrong person was arrested.

The fault was only in arresting the wrong person, nothing else was wrong, and there was no intentional replacement of the dead ghost.

"I want to see your grandpa, sign it in black and white!"

Fang Yuan said seriously.

Word of mouth is too rough.

Liu Zhenghui and Liu Yichen didn't know either.

Only in black and white can we guarantee that we will not be afraid of being demolished by crossing the river.

Naturally, if it really gets to that point, the people who get the big rewards will have even more problems.

"no problem!"

"But my grandfather is getting old, see you tomorrow morning."

Liu Yichen nodded heavily.

But after taking a look at Taishi, he changed the time.

"Okay, you can go back."

Fang Yuan had no objection, got up and prepared to leave, and also issued an order to evict the guest.

"Fang Ling, you don't know how to pity the fragrance and cherish the jade?"

"I'm a girl's house. It's not safe to be outside at night, right?"

Liu Yichen suddenly got angry, looked at Fang Yuan and said with a smile.

"Are you alone?"

Fang Yuan narrowed his eyes slightly, looking at Liu Yichen deeply.

"Guess!"

Liu Yichen was taken aback by Fang Yuan's eyes.

He thought that Fang Yuan was going to kill him because he came to threaten him.

"No time to guess!"

"Hurry up and don't disturb my sleep."

Fang Yuan snorted coldly, went back to his room to sleep.

He didn't like Liu Yichen, even a little disgusted.

Dare to go to Fangfu to threaten himself at night, this is the first time No.1.

"slightly!"

Liu Yichen stuck out his tongue towards Fang Yuan.

But Fang Yuan no longer cared about her, he called a guard and left.

Liu Yichen didn't feel bored either, and was happily escorted by the guards to leave through the back door.

The next day, the people and officials in Chang'an City began to look forward to the news that the three major agencies had solved the case.

This day is the last day for the emperor and the court to give the three institutions. If the case cannot be solved today, not only the emperor and the court will lose face, but also the three institutions will be severely punished.

noon.

The Minister of the Ministry of Justice personally announced that the murderer had been caught!
A super killer from Zhimo of the Deng Ling family was ordered to assassinate Pei Xiang.

As soon as the news came out, everyone inside and outside the court was shocked, and then some people cheered that the Ministry of punishment had avenged Pei Ji.

The palace, the imperial study.

Li Shimin summoned Fang Yuan and the other three.

"Deng Ling's ink is too arrogant, too arrogant!"

"Once you find their traces, take them down!"

Li Shimin was very angry.

The feelings for Deng Ling's ink are even more disgusting.

A group of knights in the rivers and lakes refused to listen to the imperial court's orders, and even assassinated important officials of the imperial court.

Datang doesn't need such a force, and the whole world doesn't need it, they can be driven to extinction.

"Yes!"

The three of Fang Yuan should be.

As planned, Li Shimin did not specifically ask for the murderer's name.

As the emperor, the Ninth Five-Year Lord, how could he specifically ask for the name of a little killer?

"This time it is mainly due to the Ministry of Punishment?"

Li Shimin's expression was a little kinder.

Looking at Liu Zhenghui, an old comrade-in-arms, he nodded slightly.

"Yes."

Fang Yuan nodded intuitively.

Li Daozong also admitted that it was the Ministry of Punishment.

"As I said, the chief officer who solves the case will be rewarded heavily."

"Liu Shangshu, if you want anything, you can talk about it."

Li Shimin smiled lightly.

Let Liu Zhenghui give his opinion directly.

This is really a serious injury, which greatly gave Liu Zhenghui the right to choose.

"Your Majesty, Quanzi has been the magistrate of various counties in Shandong for more than ten years."

"I'm getting old, I'm afraid I won't have much time, I want to have someone to accompany me when I'm old."

Liu Zhenghui stood up, saluted Li Shimin solemnly, and said with emotion.

"That's right."

Li Shimin frowned slightly, and seemed a little dissatisfied.

But after pondering for a moment, he still agreed to Liu Zhenghui's request.

"Thank you, Your Majesty!"

Liu Zhenghui was taken aback for a moment, and then thanked him excitedly.

"As for the murderer, wait for Pei Xiang to wake up before dealing with it."

"Instigate the employer behind him, you must torture him!"

Li Shimin said solemnly.

"Well, Your Majesty, I would like to resign from the post of Shangshu of the Ministry of Punishment."

Liu Zhenghui didn't answer, but said with a little reluctance.

"what?"

Li Shimin was surprised, thinking he had heard wrong.

Even Fang Yuan and Li Daozong looked at Liu Zhenghui in surprise.

"The minister is old and can no longer serve the court. I always feel powerless in doing things."

"And the dog is coming back soon, I feel that I owe him a lot, and want to accompany him more in the future."

Liu Zhenghui said emotionally.

"you!"

"You two go back first!"

Li Shimin opened his mouth, and finally waved Fang Yuan and the two of them back.

Fang Yuan and Li Daozong naturally had no objection, they were taken to a side hall by the eunuch to wait.

"Political Council, why do you want to dismiss?"

Li Shimin stepped down from the dragon seat and talked cordially with Liu Zhenghui.

Liu Zhenghui is an expert who assisted him in ruling the Tang Dynasty, and the Ministry of Punishment is thanks to him in control.

Now he wants to dismiss, which is a great loss to the court and the Ministry of Punishment.

"Thanks to His Majesty's love and respect, he has been in charge of the Ministry of Punishment for many years and dare not neglect."

"However, it is impossible for people to refuse to accept their old age. Recently, I have always felt physically and mentally exhausted. Many cases cannot keep up. I am worried that I will be ashamed of the expectations of His Majesty, so I deliberately resigned."

Liu Zhenghui's eyes were slightly moist, and he choked up.

"If you are too busy, let the servant of the Ministry of Punishment help you more."

"The Ministry of Punishment needs you, Datang needs you, and I need you too."

Li Shimin continued to persuade him to stay, hoping that Liu Zhenghui would stay and assist him.

"Thank you, Your Majesty, for your compassion."

"Please forgive me, Your Majesty, I have made up my mind to go!"

"If there is an afterlife, I still want to stand up for His Majesty!"

Liu Zhenghui choked up and said.

He had to back off, really back off that kind of thing.

If you don't step back, your son may not come back.

Although the emperor agreed, there will be political enemies to stop him, and the emperor will have other considerations.

And if he retreats, the emperor will miss his old feelings, no matter how his political opponents stop him, the emperor will not be moved.

"Okay, I've worked hard for you these years, when do you want to resign?"

Li Shimin sighed and did not continue to force.

It's just a retreat, it's not that you don't know how to serve the court.

As long as the person does not die, it is fine to ask him if there is anything else.

"It's best within half a year."

Liu Zhenghui said truthfully.

With his position, after submitting his resignation, it took half a year to get it done.

There is still work to be handed over, bringing in newcomers, etc. Half a year is actually not much time.

"Row!"

"Do you have someone to take your place?"

Li Shimin nodded slowly and asked habitually.

If a minister resigns, the court will seek the other party's opinion.

If someone is strongly recommended to take over, and the qualifications and abilities of the other party match, there is a high probability that it will be him.

But the final decision is made by the emperor, whoever the emperor says will succeed, unless the person arranged by the emperor is really unbearable.

"There is no position of minister, but there is someone for the assistant minister."

Liu Zhenghui shook his head and smiled.

"Ok?"

Li Shimin frowned slightly.

There is no candidate for the position of Shangshu, but there is a candidate for the Minister of the Ministry of Punishment.

So, does Liu Zhenghui mean that the position of minister will be replaced by the current servant of the Ministry of Punishment?

Among the two current servants of the Ministry of Punishment, Wang Zhaoyang is very good, with both ability and qualifications.

But Wang Zhaoyang came from the Wang family in Taiyuan, one of the five surnames and seven Wangs, and Li Shimin didn't think much of him as his successor.

It is estimated that Liu Zhenghui is also savvy, but only expressed his thoughts in that regard, but did not really say it, giving himself a choice.

"Chang'an ordered Fang Yuan to be good!"

"I work with him, and I feel that he is a talent and has the ability to be the servant of the Ministry of punishment."

Liu Zhenghui fulfilled his promise and recommended Fang Yuan now.

There are many talents in the imperial court, but there are only a few suitable high-level officials.

The high probability of taking his place is one of the servants of the Ministry of Punishment.

Then there will be a vacant position of Minister of Punishment, which can be replaced by Fang Yuan.

"You admire Chang'an Order so much?!"

Li Shimin was a little surprised, and looked Liu Zhenghui up and down.

After only working with Fang Yuan for a day or two, you know that Fang Yuan is a talent?

"Yes, I have to admire it."

Liu Zhenghui sighed.

He really admires Fang Yuan's courage.

Naturally, Fang Yuan's ability is also possible, and he can find Nie Yinniang.

"Okay, I know what you mean."

Li Shimin nodded slowly.

Thinking about the candidate to succeed Liu Zhenghui in his mind.

Not long after, Fang Yuan and Li Daozong were called back again.

Before the topic continued, the eunuch Wang De hurried in.

"Your Majesty, good news, Prime Minister Pei wakes up!"

Wang De said excitedly.

After the words fell, Li Shimin stood up.

But Fang Yuan and Liu Zhenghui's expressions changed drastically.

As for Li Daozong, he didn't participate in it, and he didn't have any relationship with Pei Ji, and his expression was normal.

"Show me Pei's mansion, I'm going to visit Prime Minister Pei!"

Li Shimin said immediately.

With that said, he walked out of the Imperial Study Room.

As for Fang Yuan and the others, they were sent away.

"If you don't wake up late, if you don't wake up early, why do you just finish talking?!"

Liu Zhenghui couldn't help complaining.

The case has just been explained, and he has just asked the emperor to resign.

How did he wake up?

This time, you won't wear clothes, will you?

Fang Yuan also frowned tightly, his heart hung up.

"What does Liu Shangshu mean?"

Li Daozong looked at Liu Zhenghui in puzzlement and asked.

"No, nothing."

Liu Zhenghui waved his hand and left with a complicated mood.

Pei House.

Pei Ji finally woke up.

The entire mansion was filled with excitement.

Li Shimin arrived soon and saw Pei Ji.

"Pei Xiang, you finally woke up!"

Li Shimin said in a slightly choked tone.

He and Pei Ji were at odds and wanted to get rid of Pei Ji many times.

But it was all political discord, Li Shimin was very grateful to Pei Ji in private
Because Pei Ji's contribution to the Tang Dynasty is obvious to all, and he is the number one hero in the founding of the Tang Dynasty.

"Thank you, Your Majesty, for your concern!"

Pei Ji said weakly.

He was very pale, without a trace of blood.

"It's good to wake up, it's good to wake up!"

Li Shimin nodded heavily.

But his feelings for Pei Ji changed a bit.

Because Pei Ji didn't salute, he had no idea at all.

Li Shimin felt better even though he was just pretending.

"Your Majesty, have you caught the murderer?"

Pei Ji's eyes turned cold, and he said in a deep voice.

He had just woken up, and only had a few words with lawyer Pei, but he didn't ask about the murderer.

But when Li Shimin came, he didn't have any personal relationship with Li Shimin, so he talked about business directly.

"Caught."

"It's just that the employer hasn't been asked yet."

Li Shimin said sternly.

"Just catch it, just catch it!"

"This strange woman was finally captured by my Tang!"

"Your Majesty, if you don't kill Nie Yinniang, don't kill her. She is a rare talent!"

Pei Ji became agitated, and blood flushed on his face.

"Nie Yinniang?"

Li Shimin was stunned.

A memory popped up in my mind.

It belonged to the legendary Nie Yinniang.

But after thinking about it, Liu Zhenghui and the others caught Nie Yinniang?
They only told themselves that it was Deng Ling's ink, but not Nie Yinniang.

If it was Nie Yinniang, such an influential figure, there is no reason not to tell her name, right?

Thinking of this, Li Shimin suddenly remembered to glance at the testimony, the murderer's name was not Nie Yinniang!
"Well, what happened?"

Pei Ji noticed the change in Li Shimin's expression.

"I seem to have been tricked!"

"Pei Xiang, the Supreme Emperor is here, I will go back first, and I will give you the results of the case later!"

Li Shimin's eyes were slightly cold.

It just so happened that the Supreme Emperor Li Yuan arrived at this time.

So taking this opportunity, he saluted the Supreme Emperor and left.

As soon as he left Pei's mansion and got on the dragon chariot, Li Shimin's face turned cold.

"Order Liu Zhenghui, Li Daozong, and Fang Yuan to come to the palace to see me immediately without delay!"
