Drinking tea can make people die. I have to say that this is a very ridiculous statement. Li Su was a human being for two lifetimes and lived for a long time.

I never thought that letting my father-in-law do tea deals would cause him a disaster. He was confused and could kill a person with just one sip of tea. If there was no insider, Li Su would rather pick out his eyes and stomp them out.

"I'm sure I died of drinking tea?" Li Su asked immediately.

Xu Jingzong nodded: "The Ministry of Justice's coroner test was tested and said he was poisoned. That night, the owner of the shop did not eat and only drank a bowl of tea, so the tea sold by your father-in-law became the biggest suspicion. No, it cannot be said to be suspicious. If you can't find any clues to rehabilitate your father-in-law, this life lawsuit will definitely be taken to your father-in-law."

"Didn't the owner of the shop have a holiday with my father-in-law? Not only did he quarrel but he almost started to fight. How could he go to my father-in-law's shop to buy tea?"

Xu Jingzong smiled bitterly and said, "I have had a holiday with your father-in-law, but I haven't had a holiday with tea. When your father-in-law opened a tea shop, they had a good relationship. Your father-in-law also gave him tea many times to drink. The tea you made was very evil and became addicted to drinking it. Even if the relationship between them became bad later, the habit of drinking tea could not be changed for a while. The only one who sells tea in Chang'an is your father-in-law. Now that they are drunk, who will the Ministry of Justice look for your father-in-law?"

Li Su nodded.

That's right, the father-in-law's suspicion is hard to clean up. He owed someone a lot of money. The two of them had a fight over money, and the relationship was very bad and they were dying. It happened that a sip of tea at this critical moment and kicked their legs. In the eyes of the officers in the Ministry of Justice, this case has both causes and consequences, a motive for committing the crime and a very obvious suspect. At first glance, this is simply a murder case that is so simple that it cannot be simple, and everything can be completed. It can be signed and closed in half a day and sent to a death row prison and just wait for a question to be executed.

"What do you think of the miser's family?" Li Su asked.

Xu Jingzong sighed and said, "The miserable man's family is already holding a funeral. I have been there this morning. My family only has four words, 'Murder and pay for their lives'. I'm afraid this matter will not be good."

Li Su rubbed his forehead, and his head hurt. He felt unlucky when he was walking on the street and was suddenly hit by a flower pot falling from the sky. He kept avoiding trouble, but unexpectedly, he took the initiative to post it, without warning or defense.

No matter what, Li Su first believed that his father-in-law would never poison and kill people. Although he didn't have much contact with his father-in-law, Li Su could see that his father-in-law was a typical businessman. Perhaps he had the habit of being smart and merciless and even aggression with the enemy. But he had no courage to kill people. Therefore, Li Su was sure that his father-in-law was wronged.

If this unjust case falls upon others, it will be unjust. A merchant without relying on and without background was looked down upon everywhere. After taking the lawsuit for death, the official first thought that there was no injustice. He had a subjective sense of bias and forced him to force him to a few torture instruments. His father-in-law's virtue is not a hero who is ready to die. He can easily be blamed and beat him up. After being sentenced to the court, the case becomes an iron case and he can never turn over again.

The difference is that he is Li Su's father-in-law, a young powerful man who was named a county marquis. When his father-in-law is in trouble, Li Su cannot turn a blind eye to him.

"It seems that I have to go to the Ministry of Justice." Li Su murmured.

Xu Jingzong sighed: "The Ministry of Justice is not easy to be compatible. Yesterday I tried my best to even move out to suppress people. I heard a little bit from a man who said I wanted to go to the Ministry of Justice to visit the prisoner, but was rejected. I also saw the meaning of the Ministry of Justice. They wanted to determine this case as an iron case as soon as possible, and the kind that could not be turned over."

"No matter what, I have to try it. After all, I am Mingzhu's father. I should do my best to do my best in terms of emotion and reason."

************************************************************************************

Taking Zheng Xiaolou, Fang Laowu, and dozens of troops from the Li family, Li Su rode his horse and headed straight for Chang'an City.

He walked lightly, kept a low profile and was not ostentatious. After entering the city, Li Su walked straight towards the Ministry of Justice.

The Ministry of Justice is located at the northern end of Zhuque Street and is affiliated with the Shangshu Province. Li Su happens to be the capital of the Shangshu Province. He used to send express delivery between the Shangshu Province and the Six Ministry. Li Su was responsible for the delivery of any official documents in the province. Therefore, Li Su is considered a regular visitor to the Ministry of Justice.

When he arrived at the jail office, the on-duty soldier saw Li Su and hurriedly bowed and did not even check Li Su's waist sign, so he let him in.

Inside the gate of the Ministry of Justice is a thick and solemn screen wall, with a pair of squid beasts engraved on it. Legend has it that this kind of divine beast is one of the dragon sons. Because of his personality, he is fair and impartial, so he is often used as a auspicious beast for the jail trial office to alert and be powerful.

After passing through the screen wall, there is a green vestibule inside. Behind the courtyard is the famous lobby of the Ministry of Justice. Every major case that shocks the monarch and ministers in the court will be interrogated and judged in the lobby of the Ministry of Justice.

Li Su walked through the lobby from the eaves and corner porch, walked in, and stopped under the corridor column of the second hall.

The on-duty officer obviously recognized Li Su, so he hurriedly greeted him and greeted him with a smile. Li Su was very polite and asked the head of the Ministry of Justice to come out and see him with a smile.

The servant thought that Li Su was coming to deliver official documents again, so he asked Li Su to sit in the hall. Not long after, he saw a green-robed official hurried out.

Li Su narrowed his eyes and found that the official he knew, his surname was Sun Qing, and he was responsible for receiving and delivering official documents from the three provinces and the office. Simply put, Sun Qing and Li Su were all colleagues, and they all delivered express delivery.

After the two met each other, Li Su sat down again, and then started a leisurely article from all over the world. First, there was a long passage of long live my emperor, and he was so powerful that we were born in the prosperous Tang Dynasty. Sun Qing was confused, but he had to follow Li Su to sing and write well and bow to the Tai Chi Palace, expressing his meaning of expressing his likes to the couriers.

After the flattery, Li Su began to talk about national affairs and international situation again, from the construction of the Yellow River embankment to the Tubo Songtsen Gampo who was probably born by his father's third concubine, etc. gossip.

Sun Qing was able to remain polite at the beginning and occasionally echoed a few words, but seeing that Li Su had finished talking about this and that, and seemed to be talking endlessly, Sun Qing's face began to suck.

Did this Li County Marquis take the wrong medicine? I went to me in the afternoon and talk about the gossip topics of the Tubo king's concubine. Everyone works on express delivery. How many orders have to be received and how many orders are delivered every day? Don't you know how busy you work?

"Slowly, wait... The Marquis of Li County asked the officials to forgive the officials who were rude." Sun Qing had to interrupt Li Su's nonsense and smiled bitterly: "The officials are very willing to listen to the teachings of the Marquis of Li County, but we should put official affairs first. What do you think? The Marquis of Li County is here to send official documents to the Minister of Shangshu Province? First, give the official documents to the officials, and then send them to the Minister of Qi, and then come back to listen to the teachings of the Marquis?"

Li Su patted her forehead and woke up in shock: "Ah! Yes, putting business first, ah, looking at my memory, I almost forgot the main business..."

Sun Qing piled up with a smile, hehe.

Then, Li Su spread his hands: "But, I have no business today..."

"Ah?" Sun Qing was shocked. You really came to the Ministry of Justice to chat for a long time?

Unexpectedly, Li Su suddenly smiled and said, "Although there is no official business, I have a private matter. Please ask Director Sun to do it for convenience..."

Sun Qing hurriedly said, "The Marquis may as well tell me, the official should do his best."

Li Su said slowly: "I heard... Yesterday, the Ministry of Justice took a criminal in Dongshi? He was a tea seller, his surname was Xu."

Sun Qing thought about it for a while and hesitated: "Secret of Xu? Could it be the case of Xu Jingshan?"

Li Su smiled and said, "Yes, it's Xu Jingshan. Master Sun, please give me some convenience. I want to ask about the whole story of this case, and I also want to go to the Ministry of Justice to see him."

Sun Qing was surprised and said, "Marquis and Xu Jingshan..."

"Xu Jingshan is my father-in-law, and the fifth-rank imperial decree of my family, Xu, is his daughter."

Sun Qing said in surprise: "It turns out that Xu Jingshan is your father-in-law! This... I didn't hear about it when the Ministry of Justice took the people yesterday."

Li Su smiled and said, "That's because my Li family and Xu family have always been low-key, but no matter how low-key, they can't let others ride on their necks. Master Sun, right?"

Sun Qing showed a look of embarrassment on his face and sighed: "The case of Marquis, Xu Jingshan is probably not that simple. The subordinates are so slight and can't help much. The case has been presented to the desk of the Ministry of Justice and will be handled by Zhang Shangshu himself..."

"Shangshu Zhang?"

Sun Qing smiled and said, "Zhang Liang, Duke of Yun, is the governor of Luozhou and the Minister of Justice. He was originally the position of Shangshu, but at the beginning of the year, Mr. Zhang returned to Chang'an from Luozhou. Now he is actually the position of Shangshu. The case of Zhangzhang has been submitted to Zhangshu's desk. I am afraid that this matter will not be suppressed."

Li Su's heart sank, and then his suspicion became deeper.

A common murder case. In theory, even if the case is bad, it should be interrogated and handled by the local government, namely the Yongzhou Governor's Office. Although Chang'an is the capital, it should be classified as under Yongzhou administratively. There is no direct reason for the Ministry of Justice to be tried directly. If it takes over the case, it should not be investigated by the Minister of Justice himself. It is just a murder case. Is it necessary to work for a Duke and Secretary of the State to handle it personally? In the three provinces and six ministries, even a courier like Li Su is so busy. The Minister of Justice is so idle?

He is not familiar with Zhang Liang. He has only met twice. Zhang Liang is also one of the famous generals of the Tang Dynasty. Li Su and other famous generals of the Tang Dynasty can easily establish a good relationship. When they meet, they shout from uncles and uncles. The famous generals are all cheerful and treat him as their nephews when they are happy. But only Zhang Liang does not seem to be very easy to deal with. He has seen him twice in previous years. Li Su is very respectful in holding a gift, but Zhang Liang's response is very cold. Li Su did not have the hobby of being cold-faced with others. Seeing that the response is cold, he never came forward. However, during the New Year, Zhang Liang's name still has Zhang Liang's name on the list of gifts given by the Li family. This is a ritual rule and has nothing to do with friendship.

If someone else was the Minister of Justice, Li Su could have some effort from it, not seeking to make big things small, at least he could ensure fairness and justice in the trial, and there was no secret secret. However, he did not expect that Zhang Liang was in charge of the Ministry of Justice, and his father-in-law's case was a bit unrest.

Li Su gritted her teeth and had to deal with it no matter how difficult it was. After all, she was her father-in-law.

"I wonder if Shangshu Zhang is in the Ministry of Justice? I want to see him." Li Suqiang said with a smile.

Sun Qing shook his head and said, "Early in the morning, Secretary Zhang went to Fengzhou, saying that he was welcomed by the Grand Prime Minister of Tubo. He was afraid that he would have to wait four or five days before returning to Chang'an." (To be continued.)
