I served as an admonisher in the Song Dynasty

Chapter 125 The Song version of Lu Buwei, Su Liang stopped the dragon chariot in the busy city
Kaifeng Fufu Yamen, lobby.

Bao Zheng sat above, looking at the dragon and phoenix embroidery in his hand.

At this time, it is most important to verify Leng Qing's identity.

As for the conflict between Su Liang and Leng Qing, it can be put aside for now.

Su Liang stood aside and showed no fear.

Don't say that this person has not yet been confirmed to be the prince.

Even if the real prince molested a woman, he would still dare to beat her up.

He is being reasonable!

Lean slightly.

Bao Zheng inspected the dragon and phoenix embroidery and found that it was fake, but it still needed to be confirmed by the Ministry of Internal Affairs.

He looked at Leng Qing.

"Besides this, do you have any evidence to prove that you are a prince?"

Leng Qing said: "In the eighth year of Tiansheng, my mother, the Wang family, served in the imperial palace. On March [-]th, she received a visit from the official family. On the eighth day of April, a fire broke out in the imperial palace and my mother was kicked out of the palace. This matter happened in the imperial palace. All can be checked.”

"Then, my mother returned to Luzhou to marry the doctor Leng Xu. Half a month after the marriage, my mother found out that she was pregnant, so she asked me to take the surname Leng. The year before last, Leng Xu died, and my mother told me the truth and taught me royal etiquette. .At the beginning of this year, my mother passed away. I sold my family property and came to Bianjing to find my father. I originally planned to accumulate some reputation in Bianjing and let the officials see my talents. Unexpectedly, I was disrupted by this so-called censor. …”

While Leng Qing was talking, Bao Zheng had been observing him.

In prison litigation cases, pay attention to distinguishing the five tones.

Watch his words, watch his face, watch his breath, watch his listening, watch his eyes.

Bao Zheng observed for a long time.

I found that the logic in Leng Qing's words was clear and there were no mistakes or omissions.

There was no difference in his expression at all.

After Bao Zheng asked a few more questions, he said: "This matter is rather complicated. I need to report it to the official. Let's imprison him in the prison first!"

"Prison? How dare you put this prince in prison? Aren't you afraid...are you not afraid of my father...the anger of the current officials?"

Bao Zheng thought for a while and said to the guards: "Prison, single room!"

After saying that, Leng Qing was taken away.

Bao Zheng looked at Fang Youniang on the side and said, "Miss Fang, you can go back. If necessary, I will order someone to summon you again."

Fang Youniang bowed to Bao Zheng, nodded slightly to Su Liang, and immediately withdrew.

Bao Zheng looked at Su Liang: "Jingming, what do you think?"

Su Liang curled his lips.

"If he is a real prince, it will really be a misfortune for our Song Dynasty!"

"Let's go to see the officials together. This matter must be reported to the officials!"

Su Liang nodded.

Immediately, Bao Zheng took the dragon and phoenix embroidered belly hug and the confession that Leng Qing just said, and walked out the door with Su Liang.

……

In the vertical arch hall.

Zhao Zhen stood up excitedly.

"What? I have a prince left among the people?" Zhao Zhen glanced at the dragon and phoenix embroidered belly, and then began to read the confession seriously.

After reading it, he scratched his head.

"It's been too long, and I don't even remember it!" Zhao Zhen waved to a small yellow doorman and said, "Hurry and give these two things to Mao Ze, he knows this best."

When Zhao Zhen was young, he was diligent in plowing the fields, sowing extensively, and favored hundreds of palace ladies.

But most of them are one-night stand.

He couldn't even remember his face, let alone his name.

About half an hour later.

Zhang Mao walked quickly with a stack of books in his hand.

"The official family, after investigation, it is true that the dragon and phoenix embroidered bellyband is a thing in the palace. In the eighth year of Tiansheng, Wang was the maid of Yeting. On March [-]th, the official family came to visit her, and she left the palace on the eighth day of April. There is no such confession. error."

"Really?"

Zhao Zhen walked out from behind the case, walked back and forth twice, looked at Bao Zheng, and said excitedly: "Bao Qing, you... you... must investigate this matter clearly and clearly. , if Leng Qing is truly my flesh and blood, I will treat him as a prince."

"Jing Ming, you have many ideas. Please also assist Bao Qing in investigating this matter."

"My lord, I obey the order." Bao Zheng and Su Liang handed over their hands at the same time.

At this moment, the two of them understood Zhao Zhen's mood.

Over the years, Zhao Zhen suffered too many grievances because of his childlessness, and was poked in the back by officials and people day and night.

It is not yet known whether Queen Cao is a boy or a girl.

Now that he suddenly lost a "son", he was naturally very excited.

His son is his backbone and his confidence.

With a son, he would dare to drive and conquer personally, and he would dare to patrol the northwest and south of the Yangtze River...

……

afternoon.

The streets of Chaotang and Bianjing exploded.

Everyone is discussing this "Crown Prince" left among the people.

Some of the things Leng Qing did recently were also exposed by the people.

"No wonder this Mr. Leng is so generous to the poor people, helping whenever he can. It turns out that he is a prince who was left behind by the officials and among the people!"

"The comments on hundreds of officials are unique, and the comments on the officials show the filial piety and respect of the son for the father. If this Young Master Leng is really a prince, he will definitely be a wise king or even a wise king in the future! "

"That day at Fan Tower, Mr. Leng stood up to toast me. He placed the wine glass lower than mine. With the virtue and talent of such a polite and virtuous corporal, he will surely become a virtuous king in the future!"

"Master Leng's words are like spring breeze and rain, refreshing the heart and mind. It turns out that he has inherited the 'benevolence' of an official!"

……

Because Leng Qing has done a lot of good things in the past few days, his reputation among the public is very good.

When Su Liang heard these words, he couldn't help but feel a headache.

It seemed that only he and Fang Youniang saw Leng Qing's true face.

At this time.

Xia Song didn't know where he learned that Su Liang had beaten Leng Qing.

He wrote a remonstrance, saying that Bao Zheng and Su Liang had a close relationship and should avoid suspicion. In addition, he impeached Bao Zheng and imprisoned Leng Qing in the prison. It was inappropriate.

Moreover, this matter involves the royal clan and should be handled by Dali Temple.

After hearing this, Zhao Zhen felt that it made sense.

Zhao Gai, the minister of Dali Temple, was immediately ordered to take over the matter with full authority.

Although Zhao Gai's judgment of the case was not as vigorous as Bao Zheng's, he was still very rigorous.

He ordered the Ministry of Internal Affairs to collect evidence again, interrogated Leng Qing again, and sent people to Luzhou to investigate...

Everything is done with great care. …

On April [-], Zhao Gai, the Minister of Dali Temple, submitted the results of the Leng Qing incident.

There is no doubt that Wang is a palace maid.

There is no doubt that the day when the Wang family was favored by the official family.

The dragon and phoenix embroidery hugs the belly.

All Leng Qing's rhetoric is undoubtedly consistent with the situation in Luzhou.

……

Some officials in Dali Temple even discussed privately that Leng Qing did have some resemblance to the officials in his eyebrows.

Moreover, his conversation is very elegant and has the style of a prince.

At present, there is no scientific way to identify relatives, and the evidence is becoming more and more biased toward Leng Qing being Zhao Zhen's son.

In Yushitai.

Su Liang felt a little strange when he saw the investigation results of Zhao Gai, the minister of Dali Temple.

He was not questioning Zhao Gai's ability, but he found that all the evidence on this matter was as if it was placed under the sun and could be picked up by bending down.

A little too smooth.

Suddenly, Su Liang thought of a name mentioned by Leng Qing and the two thugs that night: Master Gao.

"Who is the master?"

Su Liang couldn't help but become interested.

Immediately, he rushed to Kaifeng Mansion, wanting Bao Zheng to investigate this noble man.

The identities of the two thugs have been found out. They are both retired Forbidden Army soldiers, and they are the guards hired by Leng Qing in Bianjing City.

Check them, maybe you can find this master.

Bao Zheng also felt that the matter was going too smoothly, so he couldn't help but investigate in secret.

Less than two days.

Bao Zheng's informant discovered that the two thugs went to a small courtyard in an alley next to the Bian River, and in the courtyard lived a Taoist priest named Gao Jian.

Gao Jian has a Gua stall under the Zhouqiao Bridge.

According to investigation, he and Leng Qing came to Bianjing almost at the same time.

It's very possible that it's Master Gao.

at the same time.

Su Liang also made new discoveries.

Through Liu Chang'er, he discovered that some of the words praising Leng Qing that had been circulating in Bianjing City recently were spread by someone who paid people to spread them.

A bold inference suddenly appeared in Su Liang's heart.

……

Today, in the afternoon.

Su Liang walked to the foot of Zhouqiao with a volume of "Lü Lan" compiled by Lu Buwei in his hand. Not far away were several plainclothes Kaifeng government officials.

now.

A Taoist priest with long hair, about 50 years old, was dozing in front of the hexagram stall.

This Taoist priest is none other than Gao Jian.

Su Liang strode over and sat on the small stool in front of the stall.

Gao Jian woke up instantly, then turned into a smile and said: "Master, what are you counting on, is it marriage or career?"

Su Liang smiled slightly and placed the volume of "Lü Lan" on the stall.

"There are rumors among the people that the reason why Qin Zhuangxiang King Yiren became the king was because Lu Buwei spread his money and kept using tricks to build his reputation. I would like to test whether there is Lu Buwei in the dynasty and whether there is a Yiren?"

Gao Jian was stunned.

"Sir, you are joking, I can't figure this out."

Su Liang said sharply: "Gao Jian, do you know Leng Qing?"

"No... no... I don't know him." His eyes were obviously a little evasive.

"Don't you know? He has already done all the tricks!" Su Liang said in a frightened manner.

Upon hearing this, Gao Jian turned around and ran away.

Suddenly, Su Liang felt that it was very likely that his deduction was correct.

And this time.

Several Kaifeng government officials hiding on both sides swarmed up and caught him in an instant.

Gao Jian yelled: "You... why are you arresting me? I... I am just a Taoist priest who tells fortunes."

"When we get to Kaifeng Mansion, you will know why we arrested you!" A cadre said coldly.

……

After a while.

As soon as Su Liang arrived at Kaifeng Mansion, Bao Zheng told him that the officials were preparing to meet Leng Qing to see for themselves whether the latter was his son.

"You can't see him, you can't let the officials see him. It would be terrible if the officials suddenly grant him a title!"

When the king speaks out, he keeps his word.

Once Zhao Zhen made a promise, the matter became even more chaotic.

Su Liang looked at Bao Zheng and said, "Brother Xiren, you interrogate Gao Jian first, and I'll stop the official!"

Say it.

Su Liang got on the horse in front of Kaifeng Mansion and ran wildly in the other direction.

After about a quarter of an hour.

Su Liang saw Zhao Zhen's chariot.

On the side, Prime Minister Chen Zhizhong, Privy Councilor Xia Song, and Minister of Dali Temple Zhao Gai all rode tall horses and walked beside the chariot.

There were more than ten guards accompanying him on both sides.

Su Liang drove his horse forward and stopped in front of the carriage.

"Shut up!"

Chen Zhizhong, Xia Song, and Zhao Gai did not expect that a horse suddenly appeared in front of them, and the three of them quickly tightened their reins.

The carriage also stopped.

When they saw that the person coming was Su Liang, the faces of the three of them darkened.

"Su Liang, you dare to stop the dragon carriage in the busy city, who gave you the courage!" Xia Song scolded in a low voice.

At this time, Zhao Zhen opened the car window, looked at Su Liang, and said, "Come in and talk."

　Warm reminder: Fang Youniang will not have an affair with Su Liang, let alone be taken as a concubine. She is just a clue figure and has nothing to do with the Leng Qing case.This book belongs to the genre of quarreling in the court and fighting. Oh no, it uses words to support the Song Dynasty and will not go astray. It is also unlikely to develop into a harem novel. Later, there will be wars during the reform of the entire Song Dynasty. It would be boring to have a harem.
