Six hundred and twentieth eight chapters turned upside down
There is a saying that, "Those who watch the fun do not think it's big." In fact, it's not only those who watch the fun do not think it's big. (?[{[{)
Li Su has always hated trouble and does not like to cause trouble. In terms of personality, Li Su is a passive type. Only when troubles are actively involved in him will he be passively dealing with them.
He fell into a passive position at the beginning and naturally fell into a disadvantage. Therefore, both the court and the public opinion in Chang'an City these days were very unfavorable to Li Su. The little good reputation he had accumulated in his early years was considered to be a loss all in one go.
All the people who have a deep relationship with the Li family are paying close attention to him and are deeply worried about it, especially the Cheng family and Niu family. The two families have a deep relationship with Li Su. The ancients did not value money, but they were very concerned about reputation that was invisible and intangible. The large families are often willing to compromise and give in and suffer losses, and they also strive to maintain the reputation and reputation of the family in the outside world. No matter what is damaged by reputation, the big family will never be infected. Even if they are accidentally infected, they will definitely make the fastest and most appropriate crisis public relations and erase their bad reputation in the shortest time.
To be honest, the reputation of the Li family, which is like a rat crossing the street, is hopeless, and it means that the reputation has become the streets full of fear and comes very quickly, and there is no time to deal with it. Inexplicably, the Li family has become the kind of inferior powerful people in the eyes of the people of Chang'an City, and is unkind to be rich and officials.
Something happened, which caused various reactions. Cheng Yaojin and Niu Jinda sent people to Taiping Village overnight to ask about the case. Both families were very righteous. Li Su needed help, such as turning back his reputation and saying hello to the Ministry of Justice. Without saying a word, the two families would definitely help. However, Li Su refused. He said very beautifully. If something happened to the Li family, it would not implicate others. One family had already stepped into the muddy waters. There could be no second or third. During this extraordinary period, the Li family, the Cheng family and the Niu family would try to minimize their contacts. Don't let the two families get scented, which is not cost-effective. The Li family believed that the Ministry of Justice and the Dali Temple would make a fair decision, and the Xu family and the Li family would be honest.
…………
The Ministry of Justice and Dali Temple were moving very quickly. Zhang Liang, the Minister of Justice, was still welcoming the Tubo Dajin to Chang'an. The Ministry of Justice and Dali Temple had already formed a special task force, specializing in the murder case of Xu Jingshan.
On the third day of the evidence collection stage, Dali Temple inexplicably received an anonymous letter, which stated that Han You, the Minister of Justice, had an involvement in the case of Xu Jingshan, and said that Han You had close contact with the victim Huang Shoufu and had received huge bribes from Huang Shoufu. Han You had a serious quarrel with him a few days before Huang Shoufu was killed...
This is a very important clue. Even if Han You is the Minister of Justice, the two departments will not turn a blind eye. This case has reached the heavens' hearing, and no small clue can be concealed, otherwise it will be a serious crime to deceive the emperor.
So, Sun Fujia, the minister of Dali Temple, took advantage of the opportunity when Han You attended the court meeting in the early morning and sent someone to rush into Han You's mansion in a flash. According to the prompts in the anonymous letter, he dug out a large cash box from a large locust tree in the backyard. The box was filled with silver cakes, totaling more than 2,000 taels.
It is naturally not a serious crime to have money in the money box. At best, it is just a bribe. However, in the money box, in addition to silver cakes, the servants in the Dali Temple also found a letter with yellow edges. The signature of the letter was Huang Shoufu. In the letter, in addition to thanking Mr. Han for his years of secret support, Huang Shoufu also wrote a few bargaining with Mr. Han. For example, Mr. Han’s appetite is getting bigger and bigger, and Huang Shoufu is a little overwhelmed. Can he lose more?
Under the shocked and confused eyes of the Huang family, the Dali Temple servant brought the money box and letter back to Dali Temple with treasures. The letter was handed to the desk of Sun Fujia, the minister of Dali Temple. Sun Fujia wrote the memorial overnight without saying a word. During the second meeting, the memorial was placed on Li Shimin's table together with the letter.
Long Yan was furious, and lightning was thundering. Li Shimin slapped the table on the spot, his murderous aura appeared on his face, shouted loudly, and found out to the end.
An ordinary murder case has escalated into a major case in the state due to a letter.
Han You, the Minister of Justice, immediately went to the prison of Dali Temple. Not only that, several Ministers, Mr. Wailang, who were friends with Han You, and even a minister of the ministers were summoned by Dali Temple. Sun Fujia, the black-faced King of Hell of Dali Temple, was personally in charge, and with a cold face, he interrogated the important officials of the State Council, Mr. Wailang and other ministers of the state. As for Han You, he became the key interrogation target of Sun Fujia.
It doesn’t matter if the letters and silver cakes in the money box are not clear. Just explain one thing. In less than an hour of Xu Jingshan’s murder case, how did you, a high-ranking official who was sitting at the Ministry of Justice to work, drink tea and read newspapers, learn about it and brought the criminal back to the Ministry of Justice with lightning speed. Could it be that you really calculated that there was a bad omen that the black clouds in the East City of Chang'an that day?
Han You couldn't explain it. He didn't expect it to cause trouble. This case was almost perfect. From the accident to the acquisition of people, everything was in the layout. Except for the details that no one paid attention to at the beginning, it was that he jumped out to capture people too quickly. He accidentally exposed himself, so he fell into the other party's eyes.
Han You naturally knew the so-called bribery and the victim's handwritten letters, and it was clearer and clearer, but he could not defend himself. Once such a thing was defended, it would be more and more widespread, because the person behind this case against the Li family was not him at all.
Han You, who was locked in Dali Temple, did not speak out. The case was temporarily in a deadlock. Anyone with a discerning eye could see that the case was getting bigger and bigger, and the monarch and ministers had spread their eyes to the entire court. This was no longer a simple murder case, but a court struggle!
Everyone stared at the court, the three provinces and six ministries and the Dali Temple. Everyone was waiting for the latest progress of the case, waiting for whether Dali Temple could pry Han You's mouth open to dig out deeper inside information. As for the court officials who were friends with Han You, they were in panic all day long, fearing that one day the Dali Temple servants would suddenly come to the door, and they were politely invited to the Dali Temple cell to stay in the prison for a few days with a smile on their faces. As for the real direct suspect in this case, Xu Jingshan, was collectively ignored by everyone.
At a disadvantage, you must know how to turn the rebellion and protect yourself. I have to say that Li Su has done it.
He closed his door to thank the guests without saying a word. In a quiet moment, the court was overturned by him.
Li Su's idea is very simple. Since he has entered a dead end, he simply muddled the water and escalated the situation. Anyway, the worst situation is already like this. No matter how bad it is, it will not be much worse. If you don't want to drag a few guys who don't like to come in and take care of you, you might get an unexpected turn.
Therefore, because of Li Su's idea of harming others and not benefiting himself, he invisibly acted as a messing stick, which was not smelly, so he picked it up and stirred it up and talked about it. Therefore, everyone was in danger of being disturbed by him. Not only did he compensate him, but also many senior officials from three provinces and six ministries were summoned. The momentum was so vast and the situation was so serious that even Wei Zheng, who was used to being famous for his direct advice, did not dare to say anything at this critical moment.
Such a result is probably unexpected to the real master of the Li family. No one expected that the plot that had the advantage had now become a situation of both sides' losses, and the matter was already a big deal, so he couldn't stop even if he wanted to stop.
…………
Li family in Taiping Village.
Compared to the storm and storm in the court, the Li family is relatively calm. As the head of the family, Li Su still lives a comfortable life of eating, eating, sleeping every day. He ignores everything outside. The four words "receiving guests in the door" may be a huge humiliation for others, but for him it is a wonderful excuse for not having to check in at work. After several days of quiet life, he even had the urge to make a scandal in the future.
Unfortunately, my family seems to be in a bad mood.
The matter was too big and it was impossible to hide it. Xu Mingzhu finally knew that her father had suffered a sudden disaster. She was anxious and worried, and she cried all day long.
It was already summer, and the courtyard was quiet and cool under the night. From time to time, a few crickets were chirping, and a few frogs and cicadas were chirping. Li Su sat in the yard with his eyes closed and rested. The shade of the big ginkgo tree in the middle of the yard covered the silver moonlight tightly. Li Su's whole person merged with the boundless darkness.
The sound of light footsteps came from behind. Li Su didn't open his eyes, but knew who was coming.
"Have your mother-in-law gone to bed?" Li Su asked softly with her eyes closed.
Xu Mingzhu nodded and sighed: "I comforted her for a long time, and coaxed her and deceived her. Finally, I felt relieved. I haven't slept for a few days and was very ineffective. After a few words, I fell asleep. After a few words, I called two maids to guard the door and listen to the movements and serve her at any time."
Li Su nodded: "It's good to sleep, things have already happened. No matter what, you still have to face it calmly. Crying cannot solve the problem."
The day after the accident, Li Su sent someone to take his mother-in-law who was unruly to the Li family. After all, her mother-in-law is a wife family and she has no problem in handling the family plan on weekdays. However, once something happened at home, she was panicked. When she first came to the Li family, she cried and made a fuss. She said with a look of despair that her wife could not save her and wanted to hang herself and go to the underworld with her husband. Li Su was furious because of the trouble. These **** and Xu Mingzhu and his wife took turns to fight, and they promised and deceived her. Finally, the mother-in-law had a little expectation and calmed down a little.
Xu Mingzhu stood behind Li Su, unable to see the expression on her face clearly, but Li Su could feel the deep anxiety and sorrow in her heart.
"I'm the big deal..." Li Su turned her head, looked at her bright eyes in the night, and smiled softly: "Madam, the most important thing in times of distress is trust. If you believe in me, you will definitely rescue your father-in-law with all your heart."
Xu Mingzhu sighed quietly and said, "In the afternoon, I... went to the Taoist temple and saw Princess Dongyang. She was also very anxious. I heard from her that Chang'an City had a quarrel over my father's case. A lawsuit for life actually involved many court officials. Husband, I am a wife and I don't know anything about foreign affairs except for managing the family plan. I am less and less understanding of why my father's case involves these court officials? My father... has never dealt with the government."
Li Su smiled. Some things could not be told to her the truth because she could not understand her behavior. If she knew that so many court officials were involved were her husband's masterpiece, maybe she would be scared crazy. Maybe she would just chase her husband by chasing her. Anyway, she couldn't save her father. Why not take the initiative to kill her family and kill her family and form a group to carry out a tour tour in the underworld...
"It doesn't matter if my wife doesn't understand. I can only say that my father-in-law's case is very complicated and involves it very deeply. It may be deeper in the future. But believe me, no matter what step I involve, I will definitely keep my father-in-law safe..." Li Su smiled and said, "Don't worry, I have asked someone to handle the prison of the Ministry of Justice. My father-in-law will not be wronged in it. Maybe he will be bitten by fleas. There is no other difficulty. After coming out, he will be a hero. If there is no problem, he may be able to give you a younger brother or sister next year..." (To be continued.)8
