Yi Song

Chapter 65 Who killed Fu Qilang’s family?
  The courtyard of a Baihuqiao residence in the north wing of the outer city.

Liu Guozhang saw from a distance that there were soldiers guarding the door. Di Wanren, Yang Xiaojie and five or six people stood nearby, lowering their heads and talking softly.

Seeing Liu Guozhang coming with Zhang Meng, they all rushed to greet him.

"Jiro!"

"Are you sure?" Liu Guozhang asked in a deep voice.

"It's confirmed. Fu Qilang and his wife, as well as their son and daughter, both died in the house. Wang Dalang, who came to ask him to go to Yingmao this morning, knocked on the door and noticed something was wrong. He went in to take a look." Di Wanren said this, already Tears streaming down my face.

The rest of the people also shed tears, feeling extremely sad and angry.

Liu Guozhang couldn't help but recall the scene when he saw Fu Qianli for the first time.

At that time, Yang Shutou wanted to buy his own knife at a cheap price, and his men happened to capture Xu Xiniang's family again.

The streets are unscrupulous and do evil.

As a colleague of Xu Xiniang's late father, Fu Qianli stood up and spoke out.

Then Xu Xiniang's family was hurriedly rescued and entrusted to Master Murong.

In the battle of Yujin Garden, he was very busy and helped a lot. If it weren't for him, I wouldn't be able to win so happily.

That night, he was chased by Xi Xia Xia Yi Tang, but he was rescued by Murong Shisan. Yue Fei's life and death were unknown. Fu Qianli received the news and immediately led people to search for him.

After rescuing Yue Fei, he was worried about an accident, so he quietly sent him to a secret place to recuperate.

The day before yesterday, he came to tell me that Yue Fei was safe and sound, so that he could rest assured. When he can get out of bed, arrange for someone to send him over to reunite with him.

But last night, a whole family was killed and wiped out by thieves!

With two lines of hot tears streaming down his face, Liu Guozhang held the handle of Baihua Zhan tightly.

"I will definitely avenge Fu Qilang's revenge. No matter where he is, no matter who he is, I will use his head to worship Qilang's family!"

"We are willing to lend a helping hand to Erlang!"

Di Wanren, Yang Xiaojie, Wang Dalang and others said sadly and indignantly.

"What are you doing!" A man wearing a wide-sleeved, round-necked scarlet robe and a straight-legged headdress walked out of the courtyard and asked with a frown.

Liu Guozhang turned his head and looked at it, his heart moved.

Isn't this the scholar who he and Yue Fei went to the Imperial College to ask for directions, very wary but enthusiastically giving directions?
  He is actually still a crimson-robed official.

"You guys have met Judge Li."

"You are all old friends of Fu Qilang."

"Yes."

"Send your names."

Di Wanren, Yang Xiaojie and others looked at each other and answered honestly.

"Little Di Wanren, the second commander of the Longmeng Army, the deputy lieutenant guarding Que Jinyi, has no errand."

"Young Yang Xiaojie, deputy lieutenant Jinyong, the 16th commander of the Guangjie Army, has no assignment."

"Little Wang Xun, deputy lieutenant of Jinyi, the 1st and 3rd commander of the Tianwu Army's Xiongwei Army, serves as the inspector of the west wing of the outer city of the Military Inspection Institute."

"small."

Judge Li couldn't help but frown. Most of them were "unemployed vagrants" with military status.

The state and dynasty system is like this, with redundant soldiers, redundant officials and redundant expenses, and this is even more true for the Gyeonggi Forbidden Army.

The court cannot support the two to three hundred thousand forbidden troops, but these low-level officers and sergeants have been in the army for generations. They have been wielding swords and guns since they were young. If they are not allowed to join the army, are they allowed to become bandits?
  Then keep it as a means of restraint.

It became increasingly difficult to support the imperial treasury, so giving an empty military rank to show that your military status was still there was called sending a name. On weekdays, you fend for yourself. If something happens, come back and serve the court.

The difference lies in the rank of the non-staff command of a certain military unit. Most of them are named officers. Which command or general within a certain military establishment belongs to is mostly an officer with a rank in the current position.

After the officials came to the throne and Cai Taishi took charge of the government, the situation became more serious. A large number of officers submitted their names, and there were no vacancies for sergeants. The camps were occupied by the powerful, and they built houses and shops.

Judge Li is aware of these maladministrations, and has even stated them in his journal, listing one, two, three, and four suggestions for improvement. As a result, the thick pile of shangshu had probably been burned as firewood by the people who entered the memorial hall.

Judge Li looked at Wang Xun and felt that he looked familiar, "Inspector Wang, do I look familiar to you?"

"My father, Wang Zhengchen, is currently the training envoy of the Chuzhou Regiment and the commander of the Xiongwei Army. In the second year of Zhenghe, when Li Guanren was selected as a Jinshi, my father served as the envoy of the Hengban, and joined the Zhidong Ban in front of the palace, and served as the officer of the Jinshi Hall Examination and Introduction .”

Judge Li was overjoyed and said: "I remember, when I first knocked on the Tianque, I was a little frightened and rude. It was your kind advice that saved me from such a disaster. Later, I visited your mansion once, but only later. I heard that your Excellency was transferred outside Beijing and I lost contact with him."

"Yes. When Mr. Li went to visit the Mansion, he was still able to open the door."

"That's right, that's right. You are really the queen of the past. Please tell your Lordship when you return home. If you have time, Li Gang will pay you a visit."

Li Gang!

"Thank you, Mr. Li. I will definitely report it to my father." Wang Xun replied respectfully.

"Okay, okay, aha." Li Gang didn't know what to say. The situation was a bit awkward. He turned around and saw Liu Guozhang, his eyes narrowed slightly and his gaze became sharp.

It's over, he remembered me.

At first, Yue Fei and I lied in front of him and claimed that we were from Fengcheng, Hongzhou, Jiangnan West Road. But after the battle of Yujinyuan, we were well-known in Kaifeng City. All the officials, civilians, soldiers and civilians knew that Liu Erlang was from Mingzhou.

The lie was about to be exposed, and it was exposed by Li Gang in person.

"Who are you?" Li Gang suddenly asked.

He doesn't remember me?
  Impossible, I am so handsome and everyone will remember me. And it didn’t look like he didn’t remember me just now.

"I am Liu Hu, named Guozhang, known as Liu Erlang. I am from Mingzhou. I am currently serving as a disciple of Lingguang Academy."

The last sentence was added intentionally.

There is no way, Kaifeng City is a place where powerful people are everywhere, and officials are no better than dogs.

If he didn't have a backer, who knows whether Li Gang would glare, turn his face, and have him thrown into the Kaifeng Mansion prison?
  In Manjintang Prison, there is also an elder brother who can save and help him and escape together. Kaifeng Mansion Prison may not have such good luck.

I wandered around Kaifeng City for a month, almost died, and finally managed to hug a thick thigh that even Yang Jian and Gao Qiu would have to show off. Of course, I have to show respect and talk about it at all times.

"Lingguangyuan," Li Gang's expression flickered a few times, and he asked again, "You are also Fu Qilang's good friend."

"A close friend who can be entrusted with your life." Liu Guozhang replied word for word.

Li Gang looked at Liu Guozhang with a somewhat complicated expression, "Liu Erlang has a handsome appearance and extraordinary intelligence. Why should he be trapped in the world? Only by reading more and understanding the principles of saints and sages can he stand out and be loyal to the emperor and serve the country."

"Li Guanren, in today's world, literature cannot write to calm the world, and martial arts cannot control the world. Liu's ambitions can only be temporarily placed in the rivers and lakes. His talent is high and his luck is poor, but his pearls are covered with dust. He is a good businessman, but he treats others like dust. The cone is in the bag, and it shines by itself?

Liu is willing to find the bag to let the world see my edge, and Jianghu is the bag that I found. "

Li Gang frowned when he heard this, feeling that Liu Guozhang was too arrogant.

He is just an ordinary man, but he talks about government affairs arbitrarily, and he is not ashamed to say that his talents are not recognized, and he wants to show his talents and shine in the city of Kaifeng.

Arrogant! vulgar! shallow!

"Liu Erlang, just take care of yourself!"

Say it, Li Gang walked away with a puff of his sleeves.

"Li Guanren, weren't you responsible for the investigation of Fu Qilang's family murder case?"

Liu Guozhang called him to stop.

"Li is the judge of the left hall of Kaifeng Prefecture. He is in charge of the Sixth Cao of the Prefecture, the Left and Right Military Inspection Courts, and the left and right chamber offices. There are thousands of political affairs waiting for me to deal with. This small case will have someone to investigate it."

Liu Guozhang sneered, "I have always heard that Mr. Li was upright, courageous in his duties, and considerate of people's sentiments. When we meet today, we are not as famous as we are in person. The murder of four members of Fu Qilang's family, which resulted in four lives, is just a trivial matter as light as a feather in Mr. Li's mouth. "

Being snatched white, Li Gang's face turned blue and white for a while.

Di Wanren, Yang Xiaojie, Wang Xun and others were moved and worried when they saw Liu Guozhang speaking out for justice and unceremoniously criticizing the noble civil servants.

Another voice came from the courtyard gate: "It's better to be famous than to meet in person? Erlang, this is another new word you coined."

Liu Guozhang turned around and saw two acquaintances walking out of the yard.
