After Li Yan left the Ministry of Justice, he went to the Ministry of Personnel next door and retrieved the files of Runzhou officials.

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

Because almost all officials in Dantu County were demoted.

The magistrate Qi of Dantu County was directly imprisoned, and his wife and daughter were transferred to Yeting.

The two county lieutenants all resigned. Among them, the county lieutenant Lin Jianye who was assigned to imprison Fa Cao should be Ming Chongyan's master.

There is a list at the back. Generally speaking, basically all the officials and officials in the county government have been wiped out in one fell swoop.

This is another point of doubt.

If it's just bandits causing trouble and causing harm to the village, do they need to be punished so severely?

In this era, the lives of ordinary people are very despised. No matter how many people die, unless the saint is angry, the three provinces and six ministries will not punish it on such a large scale when dealing with it. But the saint does not understand this case.

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

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

Before I even entered, I saw people coming in and out, with dissatisfaction on their brows.

This feeling of dissatisfaction was not directed at him. When I saw him walking in, I was greeted by people at all levels who were full of respect.

Even Ji Yiji, who had known each other in the past, smiled.

With such a superb detective, the inner guard can always be ahead of the others, and both top and bottom will be glorious.

However, the appearance of some people is too ugly and is looked down upon by others.

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

In fact, everyone was paying attention to this case, and what Huang Zhen did could not be hidden from others.

But once it is publicized in this way, everyone will know it, and there will be all kinds of unpleasant things to say.

Of course, the most excited person belongs to one person.

"My father is unjust! Anyone who dares to torture my father should come after me!!"

Before Li Yan got close, he heard Dou Jing roaring at the top of his lungs.

"Is this an act?"

Li Yan raised his eyebrows.

Not surprising, filial piety was very important in ancient times. Whether it is true filial piety or fake acting, it must be done.

For example, after Li Shimin's Xuanwumen coup, he later wanted to revise the history books. Which part should he focus on? Killing his brothers and slaughtering his brothers? Or forcing his father into the palace?

If according to the concepts of later generations, the former is more cruel and should be covered up, but on the contrary, Li Shimin has no taboo at all about killing Li Jiancheng and Li Yuanji. He can just publicize it according to the tone of "Zhou Gong punishes Guan Cai". What Li Shimin really taboos is Li Yuan's attitude.

, so he ascended the throne in the East Palace of the Prince. In the first few years of Zhenguan, his office was also in the East Palace. Taiji Palace has always been Li Yuan's residence. The struggle between father and son is quite interesting.

Later, Li Xian's prince Li Chongjun launched a coup. First he killed Wu Sansi and his son, and later he wanted to kill Empress Wei. They were already under the Xuanwu Sect. As soon as Li Xian showed up, he gave up. As a result, his subordinates also turned against him.

In the end, he was defeated and killed, which is similar to the truth.

Therefore, it is impossible for Dou Jing to distance himself. If Dou Decheng is arrested, he must step forward to protect his father.

Li Yan took a stroll and came to the place where the fierce argument was taking place. He saw that Dou Jing was about to take action, but several Wu De guards tried their best to hold him back.

But Huang Zhen's attitude was unyielding: "Dou Jiyi, you should quickly avoid this case and not disturb the trial, otherwise you will be charged with delay. Don't blame me for not caring about my colleagues!"

Dou Jing roared angrily: "You and I are the same, why do you punish me! I just want to see my father and ask him why. You can all listen here, why not!"

Huang Zhen said coldly: "The reason why you and your son are not allowed to meet is because we can't let the traitor Dou take any chances. We must interrogate him immediately, find out the murderer, and give an explanation to Mr. Xinke! Dou Jiyi, if Cui Ge brings him

If you are convicted, there is really no room for change!”

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

Seeing Dou Jing's constant struggle, Huang Zhen simply waved his hand: "They are all internal guards, how can you drag them out for me!!"

The Wu Dewei under Huang Zhen's command immediately stepped forward. How could the Wu Dewei under Dou Jing's command be willing? The two sides were pushing and shoving, and a full martial arts show was about to take place before their eyes.

But Huang Zhen glanced sideways and found Li Yan standing not far away, enjoying the show, and immediately shouted loudly: "Li Jiyi is here!"

As expected, Dou Jing's attention was diverted and she turned around and roared: "Li Yuanfang, if you dare to arrest my father, we will fight to the death! We will fight to the death!!"

Li Yanli ignored this stupid threat and simply came to Huang Zhen: "I interrogated Jia Sibo last night and got a lot of results. Can I hand Jia Sibo over to the internal guards in advance?"

"Exchanging prisoners?"

Huang Zhen hesitated for a moment.

He still didn't know what happened in the Zichen Palace, nor did he know how much the blood pressure of his old supporter Cui Shouye had soared in just over an hour.

In his opinion, it was reasonable and reasonable to intercept Dou Decheng, the more important suspect at present, and hand Jia Sibo over to Li Yan for interrogation in accordance with official rules.

But thinking of Cui Shouye's dislike of this person, and Li Yan's attitude in front of the imperial city, Huang Zhen's heart was crossed: "You can't advance it. After a few days, when the Dali Temple is handed over, it won't be too late for Li Jiyi to interrogate you again!"

What Li Yan actually wanted was to refuse, and said coldly: "Huang Jiyi, I know you want to share the saint's worries and want to find out the truth quickly, but you must keep a line in everything. I saw the Jia clan members being taken into the capital before, you guys

If you can’t find the crime you want during the interrogation, you will always implicate the whole clan and affect the local area. It’s simply unreasonable!”

After that, he turned around and left.

It doesn't matter if he leaves, Dou Jing's eyelids jump when she hears it, and her face changes drastically.

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

As a lesson learned from the past, if this old guy interrogates Dou Decheng and fails to get what he wants, will Cui Shouye dare to involve the Dou family?

The cruel methods of the Minister of Punishment have always been well known. In order to please the saint and gain promotion, what can't he do?

The Dou family was born in a maternal relationship, so naturally they would not be uprooted, but they would be severely damaged by the torment!

This chapter is not over yet, please click on the next page to continue reading! After all, he is a member of a high family, so Dou Jing gave up struggling and turned around to leave.

Dou Jing was yelling before, but Huang Zhen didn't care. Now when he saw the other party leaving decisively, his expression changed slightly.

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

…

On the other side, watching Dou Jing leave the inner guard in a hurry, Li Yan withdrew his gaze.

Cui Shouye made a bad start and rashly affected the entire noble clan.

According to moral conviction, this is feasible.

But in the context of the times, doing so will definitely cause social unrest and is a very unwise behavior.

Cui Shouye is certainly not a person without political wisdom if he can become the Minister of Justice.

The reason why he acted so cruelly was that he was stimulated by his position as prime minister.

But now, the consequences of going to extremes have come.

Mr. Dou is not easy to mess with either, just pinch him to death!

Li Yan returned to his seat and looked through the information on the Jiangnan case again.

I had just watched it for the first time when footsteps came from the front. Di Renjie, Guo Yuanzhen and Peng Botong walked over.

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

Li Yan was surprised: "Is this statement spread among the people?"

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

Li Yan immediately understood: "That was spread by people from the Li Chamber of Commerce in order to further damage the Dou family's reputation. Don't take it seriously. What did you find out?"

As soon as these words came out, Guo Yuanzhen was a little ashamed, Di Renjie was a little stunned, and Peng Botong just said: "Nothing!"

Li Yan laughed: "I neglected it. You should have been allowed to act collectively with the inner guards."

In fact, the most important factor in investigating crimes is 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 military guard who has just been transferred to the Dharma Cao, and the same goes for the other two.

Let them investigate alone in this capital where powerful people are everywhere and the humble family is worse than a dog. It's not that there will be nothing to gain, but it will only be good luck.

However, after brainstorming, Li Yanting trusted the wisdom of Di Renjie and Guo Yuanzhen and explained his investigation and doubts.

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

Di Renjie had more experience and sighed: "People's hearts are complicated. Perhaps it was the past that stimulated Zhang Yang that made him go astray and believe in the elixir."

Li Yan nodded: "Huaiying is right. It was precisely because he was born in Runzhou that Zhang Yang, who had repeatedly failed in the exam, 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 with Dou Decheng? He knew that this pill had killed many people and it was very important. He also changed the name of the pill to Shaoyang Pill and sold it secretly. Humph, he is a person blinded by profit.

,What can’t be done?”

Di Renjie wanted to contribute: "Li Jiyi, can I take a look at the internal elixir account books of the Dou Chamber of Commerce?"

Li Yan shook his head: "Dou Decheng did not hand it over. The internal guards searched the chamber of commerce and found no account books."

Di Renjie frowned and thought for a moment, then said slowly: "Mr. Dou did this inappropriately."
