Chapter 133 The old case (for the son of the Silver League WV9/10)
The next day, Li Xia took back Han Chengxu's son.
As for Bai Mao's mother, Cheng Yuanfeng said she would continue to raise her, because Bai Mao would inevitably be imprisoned and his mother was innocent.
This is probably the magnanimity of the right prime minister. Li Xia is too lazy to care about Bai Mao anymore. He doesn't like traitors very much.
Han Chengxu's son was named "Han Qi'an". The reason for this name was probably that Han Chengxu had been wandering for half his life, without a family and a country, and he hoped to settle down.
Han Qi'an was thirty-nine years old, and his wife Yuan passed away shortly after giving birth to Han Qiao'er. Han Qi'an was heartbroken, and due to overwork, he gradually became dying of illness.
Li Xia has money anyway, so it's not a question of whether it's worth it to ask doctors to give him medicine, but if we have to say that Han Qi'an is quite talented, it's probably worth it.
Because of this incident, Han Qiaoer insisted on becoming Li Xia's maid, which may have been Han Chengxu's instruction.
Li Xia gave her some advice and let her go. In short, she neither made a contract nor treated her as a maid.
Therefore, Lin Zi no longer dared to joke about this little girl, and he no longer even regarded the three generations of the Han family as survivors of the Jin Kingdom.
Liu Jinsuo finally couldn't bear it anymore and went to see his Liu Niang. When he came back, he said he planned to get married, so Li Xia threw him a hundred coins.
The second day after the face-to-face meeting passed among these trivial matters, as they waited for official positions and rewards.
Of course, this matter will not happen so quickly. Officials and princes are very busy...
In the evening, Jia Sidao finally returned home from court, looking very tired.
Yesterday, there was first the imperial meeting, and the inner court was played, and then the evening court, and the night meeting, and it went directly to the big court meeting today, and then there was the back hall, and the inner court was played...
When the prime minister is dismissed from the court, a series of officials have to be re-appointed, and a lot of government affairs have to be assigned. In addition, the war in the southwest has begun, which involves changing commanders before the battle, which is extremely difficult.
Seeing that Jia Sidao couldn't even open his eyes, Gui Hepu hurriedly approached him and asked, "Alang, are you going to rest now?"
Jia Sidao waved his hand and asked the palace staff to come and see him.
"I only have one hour, and I have to go to the Privy Council to make arrangements quickly."
"yes."
When all the people discussing the matter had arrived, Jia Sidao had fallen asleep on the couch, but he immediately opened his eyes again and said, "Ding Qingpi is hateful. He promotes Yuan Jie as the commander-in-chief of Shu."
The staff were shocked.
"It's absolutely impossible! Yuan Jie has no handsomeness and is worse than Yu Hui..."
"If Yuan Jie is used, the country will be destroyed..."
Jia Sidao raised his hand and said, "Do you really think Ding Qingpi is stupid? This move is just to force me to compromise with Cheng Yuanfeng."
"Yes, Ding Zi is definitely not an easy person to deal with. It might as well stay with Cheng Shenfu for a while, as it can serve as a buffer."
"Isn't Alang pushing Lu Wende? Why don't the officials use him?"
Jia Sidao felt a little regretful and said: "What Cheng Yuanfeng said is also reasonable. Move Lu Wende to know Jingzhou to prevent the Mongolian army from leaking out of Jinghu from Yunnan and Guizhou... Let's put the overall situation first this time. After all, it is a military and national event."
"Yes, I understand."
Jia Sidao closed his eyes again and said: "I have a tacit understanding with Cheng Yuanfeng about using Zhang Shi as the commander-in-chief of Shu. Please wait until you come up with a charter to ask Cheng Yuanfeng to give up some power to Ding Qingpi and settle the matter as soon as possible."
"clear……"
After that, the staff analyzed which powers and duties belonging to Cheng Yuanfeng should be assigned to Ding Daquan that would satisfy both of them.
Jia Sidao seemed to be asleep. He didn't wake up until these people finally decided on the rules. After hearing this, he nodded and dismissed them.
Gui Hepu then stepped forward and reminded: "I have sent people to clear the way to the Privy Council. Alang can rest for a while longer."
He lit a stick of incense and turned around, only to see that Jia Sidao was not sleeping and was thinking deeply about something.
"How is the investigation of Li Xia's old case going?"
"Alang, he did kill the fourth son of Sun Shaoqing's family."
"What exactly?"
"Tang An'an, a corner prostitute in Fenglian Tower, had a good relationship with Li Xia before she became famous. In April, Sun Silang wanted Tang An'an. After being rejected, he sent someone to rob him, and Li Xia beat him to death."
Jia Sidao pondered: "Why did Sun Yingzhi send someone to kill Li Xia in prison? Has it been investigated?"
"This... Li Xia beat Sun Shaoqing's son to death, so Sun Shaoqing will naturally send someone to kill him in prison."
"No, this is strange, check it out."
At night, in the study of Sun Yingzhi, the young minister of Taichang Temple, several people gathered together to discuss.
"Call me urgently, what's the matter?"
Sun Yingzhi sighed and said: "Li Xia, son of Li Yong, is back alive and went to the palace yesterday to meet the saint."
"As expected, it's him. I thought he had the same name."
"He didn't say that, did he?"
Sun Yingzhi said: "How could he tell the officials? Li Yong was instructed by Wu Qian in this matter, so Wu Qian naturally came forward."
"Fortunately, Wu Qian was dismissed as prime minister at that time."
"I would like to thank Uncle Fang for leaving the prime minister. If the officials rise up and attack Wu Qian, things will get worse."
Sun Yingzhi asked again: "What do you think we should do?"
"The question is, is Li Yong dead?"
"If a body is not found, he must not be dead."
"It's best to hold Li Yong and ask him clearly."
"Try not to make a big fuss and cover it up."
"killed?"
"For the sake of the country, do we really want to kill people?"
"Do you want to retreat, gentlemen?"
"It's a matter of national importance, so there's no reason to retreat? But Li Yong is just a small person, and he may not be willing to testify, so why pursue him so fiercely?"
"You still dare to hesitate? Once Wu Qian comes back, he will use Li Yong as perjury to depose King Zhong. It will be too late to regret by then."
"From what I can see, the officials may not revive Wu Qian."
"Even if he can't afford to retaliate, Wu Qianji may still be planning this matter."
"I don't know whether Li Yong is alive or dead, and his son may not know..."
Suddenly, Sun Yingzhi shot the case and shouted, "Because of this incident, I lost a son! But you are still living with your mother-in-law?!"
"No one expected your son's death, how can you blame us?"
Sun Yingzhi said: "If my son had not gone to question Li Yong's son, would he have been beaten to death?"
"Your Majesty's methods... are indeed excessive."
"That's enough! What's the use of saying all this? It's happened, we can't back down."
"What do Sun Shaoqing think?"
"Kill Li Yong and his son." Sun Yingzhi said coldly, "One blow and a hundred."
"Li Yong still didn't know where he was, so he rashly killed his son, fearing that he would be determined to give false testimony for Wu Qian."
"No, how do you know that he is giving false testimony? Shouldn't you ask first? What if it is true? But..."
"What's the question? It's impossible! I'm sure it was Wu Qian who set up the trap."
"In short, capture Li Xia first and force him to find out the whereabouts of Li Yong."
"Looking at yesterday's selection of the Virtue Palace, Li Xia is very cunning, so we need to be more careful..."
Early the next morning, Li Xia pushed the door open and saw Feng Zhong squatting by the door and dozing off.
"What are you doing sleeping here?"
Feng Zhong was squatting like this before when he was selling tea in Qinghefang. At that time, he dared to shout loudly to Li Xia, but now he flattered Li Xia and said with a smile: "I am protecting the young man."
Li Xia knew that he was actually spying.
Even though he is a lackey of the traitor party, he still has to work hard. Staying overnight is nothing. It is difficult for ordinary people to have food and drink these days.
Li Xia handed over some money and said, "Buy some breakfast for the brothers. I'll go for a run. If you like, follow me."
"Yes." Feng Zhongxi smiled and said: "Little Langjun, Alang sent someone to tell you to go to the house for a family dinner tonight, not to the Guanchao Villa, but to the main house in Qinghefang.
Lead you over."
"I know where Ding Xiang's mansion is."
"Yes, and also, Wu Yushi sent someone to say that he has come to court to see you."
"I'm going to see him." Li Xia said, "Let's find a place near the Yushitai."
"Yes, I will make arrangements now..."
At this time, there was a teahouse near Royal Street.
Li Xia walked into the private room and saw Wu Yan, who had changed into casual clothes and was sitting there.
"I wanted to come and wait, but I didn't expect Wu Yushi to arrive first."
Wu Yan actually stood up to greet him and said with a smile: "I'd rather bother you to take a trip."
"Wu Yushi is busy with official duties, so I should be the one to meet him."
