Li Yuanjia was good at maintaining health. When he got up from a young age, he developed the good habit of going to bed early and getting up early. If nothing mattered, he would go to bed halfway through the Xu hour. Today is no exception. After writing the cursive script, he went to bed. His head had just fallen on the pillow. A burst of hurried footsteps suddenly sounded. Before Li Yuanjia could attack, he saw Li Chen, who looked panic-looking, broke into the room.
"Damn it, what's the matter? Say!"
Li Yuanjia was woken up by a quarrel when he felt sleepy and was in a very bad mood. When he saw Li Chen's desolate look like he was lost, he was even more angry. He turned over and sat up straight, glared at him, and shouted in anger.
"Report to Father, something happened at the post station. A thief rescued Wang Fangming!"
After being scolded by his father like this, Li Chen calmed down, took a deep breath, and hurriedly reported.
"Hmm? What's going on? Explain it clearly!"
When Li Yuanjia heard that Wang Fangming was rescued, he immediately took a deep breath and could no longer sit still. He turned over and got off the bed, and asked with a gloomy face.
"When the father said, the thing is like this. The child asked Lu Chong to lead someone to the inn to handle the work. It went smoothly at first, but later..."
When Li Yuanjia looked wrong, Li Chen did not dare to neglect it. He hurriedly reported the information he had obtained one by one. It was generally true. He was just worried that his father was accustomed to him and exaggerated the strength of Li Yaodong and others by more than ten times.
"Bad, you can't do anything small, what's the point of asking for you!"
After listening to Li Chen's statement, Li Yuanjia's already gloomy face was as dark as the bottom of a pot. He glanced at Li Chen and scolded coldly.
"The father calmed down. The child was really not thinking about this matter. However, since Wang Fangming has been rescued, the matter may be difficult to deal with. Please make a decision early."
Li Chen knew that this mistake was extremely wrong, so he dared not argue. He lowered his head and confessed his mistakes. He was afraid that his father would continue to make trouble, so he quickly changed the subject and threw out the problem to divert Li Yuanjia's attention.
"snort!"
Li Yuanjia knew what Li Chen was trying to do with this statement, but the situation was urgent, so he really didn't care about the attack again. Li Chen just snorted coldly and paced back and forth in the bedroom with his head down. After a long time, a strange light flashed in his eyes, and he suddenly stood up, his face twitched and said: "Tomorrow morning, I will give an urgent note on my behalf. Yanming's post was attacked by thieves at night, and all the members were killed in battle. The whereabouts of the spring farming special envoy Wang Fangming were unknown, and urged Di Renjie to speed up to Luzhou to discuss the matter. That's it, let's go."
"Ah, this..."
When Li Chen heard his father's instructions, he was stunned. You must know that Di Renjie came to find a problem. It was too late for others to avoid the capital, so how could he urge him to speed up? Isn't that unhappy for himself?
"I'm still standing there? Get out!"
Li Yuanjia's arrangement was of great use, but he was too lazy to explain to Li Chen, so he glared at his eyes and shouted without hesitation.
"Ah, No, I'll do it now."
Li Chen was afraid of his father like a tiger. Although he was full of doubts, he didn't have the courage to ask more questions. He quickly agreed to the promise and turned around and wanted to leave the room.
"Slowly, I will pass on the orphan's orders. The entire Luzhou area is martial law and there are many checkpoints to set up. The bandits who attacked the post station at night must be arrested and brought to justice. In addition, Lu Chong was diligent and immediately promoted to the garrison of Licheng. He immediately led his troops to the post and did not delay."
Before Li Chen could raise his foot, Li Yuanjia's cold voice came from behind.
"No, my son obeys the order."
Li Chen was not foolish. When he heard this, he had already guessed the intention of his father, but he did not dare to say it out loud. He could only respond respectfully, hurriedly exit the bedroom, and went to deal with various matters without mentioning them.
Taiyuan Post, as the name suggests, is a place for the officials of Taiyuan City. It is a place for past officials to rest. According to the Tang Dynasty's laws, all officials who travel outside must settle in the post. Of course, the regulations are dead, but people are alive. Those who choose to settle in the post are basically low-level officials. As for those senior officials who disdain to live in such simple places, they are generally flattered by the Taiyuan Prefecture Prefecture to live in the governor's mansion in the city. Otherwise, they must requisition the wealthy households in the city.
The garden courtyard, otherwise how could it show its outstanding identity and extraordinary status? Di Renjie is an exception. As a third-rank court official, he actually moved into the Taiyuan Post Station. Even if the Taiyuan Prefectural Prefectural Order Lu Jiuming flattered him, he could not help him move into the city. This made a lot of officials from Taiyuan Prefecture suffer. In order to curry favor with Di Renjie, the dynasty, he had to run back and forth between the city and the city. As a result, the always deserted post station almost became a downtown.
It’s impossible to be flattered. Everyone knows that Di Renjie is the most valued confidant of the Crown Prince Li Xian. In the near future, it will definitely be the choice of the prime minister. One sentence can determine the career of countless people. No one who is an official will think that the official hat is too big. Perhaps Di Renjie cannot decide how big the official hat he gives, but to take down the official hat of others, that is just a matter of one or two. It is not too much to curry favor with this. Fortunately, Di Renjie seems to be interested in making friends with the officials of Taiyuan Prefecture. He has been staying in Taiyuan Post for three days, and he also holds banquets at the post station every day to enjoy the various officials. It really makes the officials of Taiyuan Prefecture very flattered. The visitors came to visit more and more, and the host and the guests were all happy. Today is no exception. A lively banquet was tormented until the end of the Xu hour.
"Mr. Di, there is news!"
After the banquet ended, as soon as Di Renjie saw off many visiting officials, he dragged his tired steps back to the courtyard where he was staying. He walked into the bedroom door. Wang Kuan, who had already been waiting, had already come forward, bowed and reported respectfully.
"Well, General Wang, please wait a moment, Rong Di will wash up first."
The reason why Di Renjie was delayed in Taiyuan Post was naturally not to get close to the officials of Taiyuan Prefecture, but was waiting for news from Luzhou to come. Of course, paralyzing Luzhou was also one of its intentions. However, when the news came, Di Renjie did not rush to ask about it. Instead, he waved his hand and signaled Wang Kuan to wait a moment, walked calmly to the side, took the wet towel handed over by the attendant, rubbed his face hard, and dispelled most of the tiredness and alcohol. Then he made a "please" gesture, indicating that Wang Kuan would report the news.
"Reported to the Lord, there are two news from Luzhou. First, Li and Ye have rescued Wang Fangming. However, now the ground in Luzhou is martial law and the entire territory is blocked. The two masters cannot send Wang Fangming out of Luzhou, so they can only hide in the mountains and stand by temporarily. Second, the coroner who was prosecuted by the original autopsy has been found on the other end of She County. According to his account, the autopsy reports of several so-called suicide victims were issued behind closed doors and had never really examined the corpse. There may be doubts among them, but the procedures for opening the coffin and autopsy are complicated, and it is very easy to be shocked that the Luzhou side did not dare to move lightly. They can only wait until the adults go in person before they can make a detailed decision."
Wang Kuan bowed and reported the news sent back to Luzhou in detail. He only mentioned the facts and did not add to his own judgment on the matter. He put forward the attitude of leaving Di Renjie to make the decision.
"Well, thank you General Wang, are there any other news?"
Although Di Renjie has a high status, he dare not underestimate Wang Kuan, a master of the Eastern Palace who has followed Li Xian for many times, and is very polite in his words.
"If you go back, this is the fourth time that Luzhou has come to urge you to do so. Although they have been blocked by the generals, if they delay more, there are villains in the court who are taking advantage of this matter. I hope you will make a decision soon."
Although he knew that Di Renjie was not going to be able to move in Taiyuan, Wang Kuan still had to sweat for Di Renjie. It is important to know that the time for solving the case given by the emperor was only two months, and it has been nearly twenty days throughout the journey. It is hard to say whether the case can be solved successfully in the remaining month. After all, this case happened on the ground of Luzhou, and the local government's uncooperation attitude is naturally conceivable.
"Well, since that's the case, I'll set off early tomorrow morning and rush to Luzhou day and night."
The Luzhou incident is of great importance. If breakthrough progress cannot be made, the Eastern Palace will inevitably suffer a severe blow. Di Renjie will not be unclear about this. Now that it is useless to be in Taiyuan Prefecture, Di Renjie will not postpone it any more, and he made a decision without hesitation...
On the eighth day of the third month of the year of Yifeng, at the time of the lunar month, the drizzle was falling, not heavy, like fog, and when the wind blew, it made people wet and uncomfortable. It was not a good weather to go out. However, tens of thousands of people in Shangdang City had no choice. Under the forced order of the government, they gathered outside the west gate early in the morning and quietly waited for the arrival of the imperial envoy.
Time passed by minute by minute, and in a blink of an eye, it was soon four o'clock. The people who stood there for a long time were already quite impatient and complaints spread uncontrollably. They first whispered in detail. At the end, the loud scolding of the imperial envoy, the entire scene was as chaotic as a vegetable market. However, Li Chen, the Shangdang master standing at the front of the team, did not take it seriously. Not only did he not order the yamen runners of each department to stop drinking, but he showed a smug smile that was almost invisible, just because this was the result he wanted.
"Boom..."
Li Chen's pride did not last long. With a burst of rapid horse hooves, a cavalry from afar was rolling in the distance. As the flags were waving, a big flag with bright yellow edges could be seen. It was the imperial envoy who had arrived. Li Chen hurriedly calmed down his mood, quickly tidied up his official robe, and led his officials of all sizes to hurry forward to greet him...
