Chapter 103 Crisis Reappears
The case of Yang Shenjin was jointly tried by three courts, that is, officials from the three departments of Yushitai, the Ministry of Punishment and Dali Temple formed the third judge.

Yang Shenjin was the Minister of the Ministry of Household Affairs, with a high rank, and the officials who tried him were also of high rank. Yushi Zhongcheng, Minister of the Ministry of Punishment, and Shaoqing of Dali Temple, commonly known as Dasantang.

On the one hand, the benefit of the joint trial is to prevent framing, but more importantly, it is to prevent favoritism.

In the inner hall of Dali Temple, more than a dozen officials from the three departments are jointly dismantling the evidence and comparing it with the search list.

To everyone's surprise, the book found in the secret box in Yang Shenjin's study turned out to be an almanac of the Northern Dynasty. uproar.

Left Prime Minister Chen Xilie hurried to Zhongshu Province and found Zhongshu Ling Li Linfu.

"Xiangguo, a very interesting thing has happened!"

Li Linfu took a sip of tea and asked calmly, "What's interesting?"

"It is rumored that a book of prophecy was found in Yang Shenjin's study, but after three checks, it was not a book of prophecy at all, but the almanac of the Northern Dynasties written by Zhao Wenyuan, which is too absurd."

Li Linfu squinted his eyes and said with a smile: "It can't be that he was replaced by someone!"

"How is it possible, so many eyes are staring at it, and there is a search stamp on it, how to replace it?"

Li Linfu secretly applauded, this trick is really beautiful, without the prophecy, it would be difficult to convict the crime of rebellion, if there is no crime of rebellion, at most it is improper behavior, out of decency, then Wulang Li Dai will not be involved .

"Has Yang Shenjin started the trial?" Li Linfu asked again.

"The trial started in the afternoon. He admitted that he was superstitious and had done many absurd acts of exorcising evil spirits, but he categorically denied that he had the idea of ​​rebellion, let alone colluding with anyone. No evidence of his rebellion can be found in the third trial. , and couldn’t find any evidence related to the case of fire in the bureaucracy, and finally agreed on an indecent charge.”

Li Linfu nodded. There is no doubt that Yang Shenjin was demoted. The key depends on whether the emperor accepts the result. If he accepts the result, then his son will be fine and the fire case will be settled.

But if the Son of Heaven insists on putting Yang Shenjin to death, then the fire case will definitely make waves again.

In the imperial study room, Emperor Li Longji was pacing back and forth in the room extremely annoyed, while Yang Guozhong stood aside, so nervous that he didn't dare to take a breath.

This time they messed things up. Li Longji not only wanted Yang Shenjin's household, but also wanted to use this opportunity to completely wipe out the Yang family of the Sui Dynasty.

How can I make myself attack the Yang family now?Li Longji was extremely disappointed with Yang Guozhong, he couldn't do such a small thing well, what else could he do?
"How did the prophecy book become an almanac? Who actually dropped it?" Li Longji stared at Yang Guozhong sharply.

Yang Guozhong wiped the sweat from his brow, and said in a low voice: "I don't know, this matter is handed over to Shi Jingzhong, and I don't know how he arranged it."

"Useless things, get out!"

"Wei Chen retire!"

Yang Guozhong retreated in a panic.

Li Longji shook his head secretly, this Yang Guozhong was too immature in the officialdom, he couldn't see the secret fight between himself and Li Linfu.

Of course Li Longji knew that it was Li Linfu who did it. He was afraid that Yang Shenjin's treason case would involve him. Li Linfu's actions were understandable, but if he didn't deal with him severely, he wouldn't take himself seriously.

"Decide my will, continue to strictly investigate the fire case in the warehouse of the household department!"

Li Linfu waited uneasily in the court room. At dusk, news came from the imperial study that the emperor was dissatisfied with the conclusion of Yang Shenjin's case and demanded to continue to strictly investigate the fire incident in the warehouse of the household department.

This news made Li Linfu feel cold, and the emperor still refused to let him go.

In the carriage, Li Linfu was very worried. He knew well that the emperor must know that he had changed the prophecy book, which made him very annoyed, and ordered to continue the strict trial of Wulang's case.

Li Linfu understands that companionship is like companionship with a tiger. There are rumors that a noble concubine may adopt a grandson from the harem as an adopted son.

The emperor will definitely support the Yang family in an all-round way, and he will become a roadblock.

Li Linfu was very anxious. He couldn't fall down anyway. Once he fell, his family would be destroyed.

Thinking of this, Li Linfu said to his confidant guard Wang Kuan: "Go and get 48 Lang to meet me!"

Li Linfu was really exhausted. At this time, he thought of his smart and mature grandson. He needed a military advisor he could trust.

At this time, Li Linfu's carriage stopped slowly at the door of the house, and the housekeeper ran up to report: "Master, Patriarch Yuwen is here, saying that he has something important to discuss with the master!"

"Is he in the guest room?"

"Yes! I have been waiting for a long time."

"Tell him, I'll be there soon. Besides, 48 ​​Lang Ruo is here, take him to my study and wait!"

The housekeeper hurriedly went, Li Linfu felt ominous, probably nothing good would happen if Yu Wenjing came at this time.

In the guest hall, last night he was finally persuaded by his brother Yu Wentong to jump off the old broken ship of Li Linfu and devote himself to the Yang family in order to protect the wealth and wealth of the Yuwen family.

It's just that they broke up with Li Linfu, and there are still many things to do, the most important thing is that their daughter Yu Wenluo and Li Dai are going to divorce.

The marriage between Yu Wenluo and Li Dai is a typical political marriage. This marriage is the link between the Yuwen family and Li Linfu. This link must be severed to be called a political cut.

Divorce is not a big problem. Xianbei women have always had the right to divorce independently, and divorce is also very simple. Leave a letter and take away your property. Even if you get divorced, you don't need your husband's consent.

In fact, the land deed of [-] mu of fertile land that Yu Wenluo was dowry with was on her. on her.

Now her father needs to come forward and tell the Li family to return the dowry, and the marriage will be considered over.

Yu Wenluo wanted to divorce Li Dai ten years ago, but she was suppressed by her father and she couldn't leave. Now that her father has agreed, she no longer has any scruples and decided to divorce.

At this time, Li Linfu walked in with a smile, "Brother Yuwen, what fragrance blows you away?"

Yu Wenjing forced a smile and said, "I'm here to find out about Goro's situation!"

The smile on Li Linfu's face froze slightly. Of course he knew that the other party was here for Goro, but judging by his attitude, it was not that he cared, but more like wanting to break off.

"Please sit down!"

The two sat down as guest and host, and Li Linfu said indifferently: "Wu Lang was framed and imprisoned. I am doing my best to rescue him from prison, but the case is a bit repeated, and it will take some time."

Yu Wenjing, as Minister of the Ministry of War, of course knew well, who dared to frame Xiangguo's son so blatantly, and the majestic Xiangguo was actually helpless, except for the emperor, no one had such a great ability.

Where did the emperor want to frame Li Dai, he clearly wanted to take this opportunity to depose Li Linfu. He originally thought that Li Linfu could survive for two years, but now it seems that this old ship is about to sink, and the Yuwen family must jump ship immediately. There is nothing to hesitate of.

He pondered for a moment and said: "When our two families married, we respected the Xianbei customs of the Yuwen family. According to the Xianbei customs, concubines and illegitimate children are not allowed to enter the house without the consent of the old woman, but unfortunately, the Li family did not abide by this. Agreement."

Of course Li Linfu knew that the other party was looking for excuses!
His face was also pulled down, and he said coldly: "My grandson, of course I want to let him in!"

"Since this is the case, I am afraid it will be difficult for this marriage to continue!"

After finishing speaking, he took out Li Dai's marriage certificate and put it on the table, "I will send someone to return the betrothal gift tomorrow, so farewell!"

"Please! I won't give it away."

Yu Wenjing didn't dare to say anything more, got up and left in a hurry.

"Shameless villain!"

Li Linfu slapped the table fiercely. He is a stalker. When he was in power, he tried his best to get in touch with him, solicited friendship, and offered to marry him. Now that he was in trouble, he ran faster than a rabbit. Like splashing water, crisp and neat, for fear of being implicated in the slightest.

At this time, the butler said from the hall: "Master, Lang 48 is already waiting in the study."

Li Linfu nodded, no matter what, the departure of the Yuwen family may be a good thing for his son and grandson.
