It was obvious that the coffin shop belonged to the Li family in Zhao County, and the people here were definitely not the masterminds, but Li Yuanchang killed all five people inside and outside in one go, and had no intention of further investigation.

Now he can see it clearly. Ever since he accepted the task of the emperor's brother and started fighting Huaiyuanfang, he has been fighting head-on with the five surnames and Qiwang. He has never faced each other's family, but all the families. people.

The incident of Hanwang killing five people in Xishi quickly spread throughout the city. Many people saw that Hanwang led someone to rescue a tied woman from the coffin shop, which proved that Hanwang was saving people, so there was no Give Li Yuanchang a notorious name, and if he has an extra bad name, he didn't run away.

The leader of the Li family in Zhaojun in Chang'an was furious, "Who is it? Who ordered Li Yi's coffin shop owner? Stand up for me! If I find out, I will remove my family status and send me to the prison of the Ministry of Justice. Blame me for not showing affection."

When the voice fell, a middle-aged man with a shrewd appearance and a resentful face stood up. He was the one who spoke for the people in the prison of the Ministry of Punishment at Wang Si's house.

"Li Ziming, it's you"

In the end, this person didn't do anything to Li Ziming. After all, he was a member of his own clan. Even if he made a serious mistake and closed the door to deal with it according to his own family law, he would not surrender to the Ministry of Criminal Justice.

This man named Li Ziming was kicked out of Chang'an City and sent back to his hometown to guard the manor to make atonement, and the elder of the Li family in Zhao County gritted his teeth and asked them to bring back the five corpses of the coffin shop. At this moment, he took over From Li Yuanchang's gauntlet.

After the emperor Li Er heard what happened in Li Yuanchang's house, he sent powerful guards to take Li Yuanchang's two sons into the palace with his brothers' concern. They study together in the palace.

This news sank the hearts of everyone who was preparing to impeach Li Yuanchang the next day. The emperor seemed to want to protect Li Yuanchang.

Coming out of the coffin shop, Li Yuanchang asked someone to send his concubine back home, but he didn't stop there, instead, he directly diverted and took people to Huaiyuanfang again, where he continued his task of pulling out nails.

Different from the past, this time Li Yuanchang really went all out. One on the list counted as one. Li Yuanchang directly ordered the rest of the people to be arrested. There is a secret passage, so catch it first and then talk.

Yesterday, Li Daozong sent people to say that the prison of the Ministry of Criminal Justice was almost full, so we can no longer arrest people like this, so this time Li Yuanchang only took away the deed holders, and drove the rest out of Huaiyuanfang. One family of private soldiers knocked down the courtyard wall with a hammer to facilitate the demolition by the workers in the future.

What is he doing like crazy?Li Yuanchang probably thought of it too, he has arrested so many people, he saw blood today, and the next day will be the Grand Court Meeting, people with five surnames and seven wangs will not let him go.

After the Great Court Meeting, he didn't know if he was still in Chang'an, so he simply took care of everything before leaving, which could be regarded as an explanation to the emperor.

At the same time, Du Shaoqing, who was sitting firmly in Yongping Square, also received the news that Wu Xing Qiwang was going to impeach Li Yuanchang the next day. Now Li Yuanchang, the pioneer, has just started. If he is taken down at this time, even if the reconstruction of Huaiyuan Square is completed , the gains outweigh the losses, rebuilding a square will lose a general, how can there be so many pioneers to lose?

So Du Shaoqing decided to keep Li Yuanchang, and only the emperor Li Er was the mediator in the court, so Du Shaoqing wanted to see what he could do outside the court, so he called Li Yuanchang, and the two talked in detail for an hour.

At the court meeting the next day, almost all the officials reported on Li Yuanchang, which caught Li Er, who was mentally prepared, a little off guard, and at the same time, Li Er felt deeply threatened.

You can see the whole picture at a glance, the five surnames and seven Wangs are too powerful in the court, if they join forces and do not break it, it will be a disguised form of controlling the government, which is absolutely intolerable.

But everything is an afterthought. Now that Li Yuanchang has committed countless crimes at the Dachaohui, there must be a result on how to deal with it.

Looking at the evidence of the crime, Li Er cursed secretly. If he hadn't used the seventh younger brother Li Yuanchang to act in the first place, based on these evidences, let alone take down the king of the seventh brother, even if he killed him, he would kill him. There is nothing to feel bad about. .

This thick stack of criminal evidence directly shows that Li Yuanchang, as a royal family, has never done good things, and has always done evil things to destroy the foundation of the Tang Dynasty.

In the Taiji Hall, Emperor Li Erlei was furious, "Come here, quickly summon Han King Li Yuanchang to the hall, I want to ask him personally, how many good things has he done all these years?"

This one

The herald didn't mention it when he sent the order, but this scene, and even the emperor's attitude, directly made the informant feel a little overwhelmed by the truth. Could it be that the previous speculation was false?Didn't the emperor want to protect Li Yuanchang?This is obviously to win the rhythm of Li Yuanchang?

What is Li Yuanchang doing?He also got up early that day, when Jiefa's wife had just finished tidying his robes.

Before leaving the house, Li Yuanchang warned: "Order someone to pack up. After today, we will return to Jinyang to farm."

Fa's wife looked at the figure of her husband Feng Xiaoxi, and said nothing. At this time, the princess of the Han Dynasty suddenly felt relieved.

The concubine thought to herself: Chang'an is so prosperous that people linger and forget to return, but it is true that her husband's behavior these years has made the family fearful. Thinking about the princes who died suddenly in the past two years, I am afraid that it is not a bad idea to return to Jinyang to farm. good thing.

While everyone was waiting to summon Li Yuanchang, Li Daozong, Minister of the Ministry of Punishments, stood up and said, "Your Majesty, according to the usual practice, even if someone makes a real-name report, the imperial court should send someone to verify it carefully before summoning him for investigation, or arrest someone. Isn't it inappropriate to summon the King of Han now?"

"Did Li Shangshu deliberately protect the King of Han? We will impeach him according to the facts, and all the crimes have been proved. Do you still need someone from your Ministry of Punishment to collect evidence again?" An official from Yushitai stood up and retorted.

Li Daozong said in a deep voice: "There are laws and regulations for inquiring about crimes. Premature interrogation is for fear of injuring others, and for fear of misjudgment of grievances due to inaccurate evidence. Therefore, I think it is better for the Ministry of Criminal Justice to file a case for investigation first."

Li Er knew that Li Daozong wanted to defend Li Yuanchang, but when things got to this point, it was no longer a matter of delaying for a few days.

"Okay, let's act urgently. Call Li Yuanchang here. I don't believe that he dares to deceive the emperor." Li Er stopped the dispute between the two.

Soon Li Yuanchang strode to the Tai Chi Hall, looking at Wu Qunchen, and the thick stack of memorials in front of his angry brother, Li Yuanchang knew that these were the memorials for his impeachment today, it seems These people are going to punish themselves to death.

Li Er pointed to the memorial in front of him with a black face and said to the servant next to him, "Read these memorials to the King of Han and see what he has to say."

The servant Gao picked up a book and read it aloud. Li Yuanchang listened to what was written in it one by one, such as oppressing the people, robbing the women of the people, accumulating money maliciously, even stealing cattle for slaughter, occupying the people's good land, etc., basically The time, place and evidence are all clearly indicated on the paper.

At this time, I really have to admire these opponents. If it weren't for their detailed records, Li Yuanchang wouldn't even remember that he had done so many things.

"Okay, don't read it!" Li Yuanchang interrupted loudly.

Li Er looked up at the other party, and said in a deep voice, "Old Qi, do you have something to say?"

With a deep salute to Li Er, Li Yuanchang said loudly: "Brother Qi, my brother Li Yuanchang has never done anything in the past few years, except collaborating with the enemy and betraying the country. It can be said that I can't count the evil things I have done. law.

So there is no need to read the crimes listed here, except for the crime of collaborating with the enemy and treason, the ministers have all confessed. "

You Li Eryi was a little dumb for a while, what is this old seventh doing?

But after thinking about it, it's relieved, the evidence is conclusive, Lao Qi is a straight-tempered reckless man, and what he can think of is probably not some twists and turns, but pleading guilty and obeying the law, which is the simplest.

In the eyes of the group of people who impeached Li Yuanchang, Li Yuanchang's performance was not like this. Cui Junsu thought to himself, is this to cut off the tail to survive?He voluntarily pleaded guilty and did not associate with others, and was not involved in other faults. Does he want to keep the record of Huaiyuanfang?

After a long time, Li Er said: "In this case, let's follow the laws of the Tang Dynasty. The three divisions of Zong Zhengfu, Dali Temple, and the Ministry of Punishment must work together to find out Li Yuanchang's past crimes and punish him according to the law."

Li Yuanchang is a member of the royal family, so the Zong Zhengfu must participate to see if it is necessary to join the family rules within the royal family and so on.

"Your Majesty, since His Majesty the King of Han confessed to the evidence inside, please be merciful and release the people who were imprisoned by the King of Han in the Ministry of Punishment for no reason a few days ago, as listed in the memorial." An official of the Cui family of Qinghe stood Come out and say loudly.

Ok?

Except for Cui Junsu, everyone was taken aback for a moment, thinking that this guy has such a good trick, how could he set Li Yuanchang a trap?

Youdao is clever but was misunderstood by cleverness. At this time, Li Daozong, Minister of the Ministry of Justice, stood up again. This time he did not protect Li Yuanchang, but made a report about the crimes of the people in Huaiyuanfang secretly digging secret channels and colluding with foreign businessmen.

"Aiqing, do you really want me to release these people?" Li Er looked at the man jokingly.

The man was also dumbfounded. He thought that if the emperor compromised and refused to protect Li Yuanchang, it would prove that he didn't want to turn against the five surnames and Qiwang, and he would be able to release the people in the prison without any hassle. Thinking of this, what is the emperor's attitude?

At this moment, Li Yuanchang laughed loudly and said: "Brother Emperor, Li Yuanchang is 20 years old this year, he committed crimes in Chang'an for five years, now it's too late to regret, but he can only confess his crime and submit to the law.

But before the Ministry of Criminal Justice sentenced me, I have to explain what I have done for three days in this Taiji Hall. These three days, that is, the three days I served as the commander-in-chief of Chang'an City Reconstruction, were also three days in Huaiyuanfang knowledge. "

Then Li Yuanchang took out a booklet he brought with him, opened it and read it page by page, all about the things in Huaiyuanfang, one family at a time, the criminal evidence found in it, the people of Huaiyuanfang, the West City insiders disclosed and so on, and so on.

What are you talking about?It is these high-ranking officials and nobles who use Huaiyuanfang as their eyes and ears to do business in the underground market of Xishi City, those who buy and sell people, those who privately trade, those who lend money privately, those who sell information, those who hire murderers,

The evidence is also conclusive, but the difference is that Li Yuanchang's booklet is not comparable to the stack in front of Li Er.

However, what is mentioned in it reveals another side of Chang'an, another black Chang'an that is so filthy that people can't bear it. These things are far from comparable to Li Yuanchang's crimes of harming the people by himself, so the face of Emperor Li Er turned black again. Come down, this time to Wu Qunchen.

The five surnames, Qiwang and the others were already a bit untenable, especially those officials who raised their heads to report Li Yuanchang, who were already in cold sweat. ?
