Chapter 426: Salute before Soldiers
Li Hongyu came to the front yard of the Li family surrounded by Liu Han and other military attachés of the Jinyi Guard, he did not enter the living room but asked someone to bring a chair, and sat on the chair quietly and closed his eyes to recuperate. "Say." ⒉
With the influx of soldiers from Jinyi Weibei Town, the silent Li family suddenly became noisy, the screams of the women and the shouts of the sergeants were endless, and the situation seemed chaotic.
If it weren't for Li Hongyu, this place would have become a chicken and a dog, you must know that the army in the capital likes to do this kind of house-raiding thing, and by the way, you can get a lot of oil and water, and you can also take advantage of many women.
However, because today's task is too important, and Li Hongyu personally pressed the formation, the people of Jinyi Weibei Town Fusi did not dare to mess around.
Compared with military law, the people of Jinyi Weibei Zhenfu were obviously more afraid of Li Hongyu, and the battle between the Beijing army and the new army in Li Mansion had raised Li Hongyu's prestige in the army to a new height, and the soldiers were in awe of him.
Driven by the soldiers, the people of the Li family were quickly driven to the courtyard of the front yard, there were men and women, old people and children, one by one, they were scattered, and they looked at the fierce soldiers around them with panicked expressions, because they were still sleeping, so they did not know what was going on.
"Do you know who this official is? This official can make your heads move with just one word......"
It didn't take long for several soldiers to bring a middle-aged man in a white undershirt from the backyard, and the middle-aged man yelled at the soldiers next to him as he walked, with a domineering posture.
"What does this mean, Scholar Li?" After seeing Li Hongyu sitting on a chair with his eyes closed, the middle-aged man was slightly stunned, then his face turned pale, and he asked tentatively, obviously he didn't expect Li Hongyu to appear here.
Obviously, this middle-aged man is Li Kezhuo, Li Kezhuo is proud, so he didn't pay attention to those Jinyi guards at all, until he saw Li Hongyu, he realized that the situation was not good.
What kind of person is Li Hongyu, a dignified scholar of Zuo Chunfang, a celebrity in front of Emperor Taichang, if he didn't encounter a major event, he wouldn't have appeared here for no reason.
Judging from the arrogant attitude of those soldiers in Jinyi Weibei Town and Li Hongyu's cold look, Li Kezhuo could naturally guess that something must have happened to Emperor Taichang, otherwise he would not be able to alarm Li Hongyu.
"Li Kezhuo, this official came to check the pills you offered by the order of the queen's mother, and you honestly tell the official where your pills came from?" Hearing this, Li Hongyu slowly opened his eyes, stared at Li Kezhuo expressionlessly and asked.
"Scholar Li, the official has already said that this pill was obtained by the official by chance encountering an immortal in his early years."
Li Kezhuo's heart suddenly sank down when he heard this, Li Hongyu said that he was respecting Empress Li's decree rather than Emperor Taichang's holy decree, which meant that Emperor Taichang must have had an accident, so he pretended to look at Li Hongyu calmly.
"Li Kezhuo, there is an old saying, if people don't know unless they do it, there will always be some clues to follow in what you have done, and now you can get a chance to be lenient if you confess, otherwise once the official verifies it, this will be a big crime of being beheaded!"
Seeing that Li Kezhuo put on a posture of stubborn resistance to the end, Li Hongyu stared at him for a while, and admonished him with a serious expression.
"Scholar Li, the official has already said that the elixir of the official was given by the immortals, and the scholar also saw it that day, and it does have miraculous curative effects."
Li Kezhuo's brows furrowed slightly, and then he replied to Li Hongyu with a straight face, he naturally knew the seriousness of what he had committed after twenty or thirty years of officialdom, and once he admitted it, he would be doomed, so he had to push the blame to the apocryphal immortal to the end, and only in this way could he escape the catastrophe.
"Li Kezhuo, this official has already given you a chance, since you don't know how to cherish it, then this official can only enforce the law impartially."
Li Hongyu had already guessed that Li Kezhuo would resist stubbornly, so he secretly shook his head in his heart, looked at Li Kezhuo with a cold expression and said, he didn't want to make things bloody, but since Li Kezhuo was lucky, then he had to go all out to find out about the case, and Li Kezhuo's fate would not be as good as in history.
According to historical records, after Emperor Taichang took Li Kezhuo's pill and died, because he did not know what the elixir Li Kezhuo was offering, and Li Kezhuo was a medicine offered by order, Li Kezhuo was later able to escape his life and was assigned to the frontier.
But because Li Hongyu is responsible for the thorough investigation of this case, then Li Kezhuo's fate is bound to change, as long as Li Hongyu can prove that the medicine offered by Li Kezhuo is not an elixir given by immortals, Li Kezhuo will be guilty of bullying the king, and there is absolutely no reason to live.
"Scholar Li, this official is not afraid of shadows, everything he says is true, and there is no lie!" Seeing Li Hongyu looking at him sharply, Li Kezhuo felt weak for no reason, forcibly suppressed the panic in his heart and said to Li Hongyu.
To tell the truth, among the officials in the capital, Li Kezhuo is the most reluctant to face Li Hongyu, Li Hongyu's performance since he won the top prize has made him feel incredible, as if nothing can stump Li Hongyu, which makes him feel guilty of being a thief.
However, Li Kezhuo also has his own confidence, first, he believes that Li Hongyu can't find evidence that he made pills, and secondly, he is a medicine offered by the holy decree of Emperor Taichang, as long as Li Hongyu can't find out what's wrong with the pills, then he can be exonerated on the grounds that the pills are elixirs, anyway, no one can say this kind of ghost and god theory.
When Emperor Taichang's illness worsened, he once issued a reward notice that anyone who could cure his illness would receive a heavy reward, and his offering of the "elixir" was just an order.
"I hope what you say is true, or there will be no one to help you."
Li Hongyu knew Li Kezhuo's current psychology, so he didn't want to talk to him in vain, and looked around at the Li family members who were shivering in the courtyard, and looked at Li Kezhuo with a cold expression, murdering the king is a heinous capital crime, and Li Kezhuo will be beheaded all over the house.
"Someone, get them some clothes." As he spoke, Li Hongyu pointed to the Li family's family members and instructed the soldiers on the side.
Now that it is approaching the tenth month of the lunar calendar, the weather in the capital is cold, and almost all the people of the Li family have been driven out of the bed, so they are thinly dressed, how can they resist the cold weather?
"Scholar Xie Li." The soldiers immediately brought some clothes to the Li family's family, and Li Kezhuo couldn't help but turn pale when he saw this, bowed down to Li Hongyu and thanked him, grateful to Li Hongyu for taking care of his family.
Li Hongyu ignored Li Kezhuo, sat on the chair again and closed his eyes to recuperate, now the only person who can save Li Kezhuo's family is Li Kezhuo, it is a pity that Li Kezhuo gave up the only opportunity.
"My lord, we're here in the backyard." Not long after, a brocade-clothed guard walked up to Li Hongyu's side and bowed down to report.
Hearing this, Li Hongyu opened his eyes, glanced at Li Kezhuo, who was standing there with a pale face, and strode towards the backyard, wanting to see what the hundred households had seen.
"My lord, not only in the yard, but also in the room."
After entering the gate of a courtyard in the backyard, the hundred households pointed to the mountains of congratulatory gifts in the courtyard and bowed to Li Hongyu.
"My lord, there are also a lot of congratulatory gifts in other rooms, and many of them are very valuable, as if they were received yesterday." At this time, another hundred households stepped forward and bowed to Li Hongyu and said.
"Is there a gift list?" Li Hongyu naturally knew the origin of those gifts, and there were many gift-givers in Li Kezhuo's mansion yesterday, so he asked in a deep voice quietly.
"Back to my lord, there should be, but my lord forbids the lowly people to move the items in the room, so the lowly ones have not searched yet." Hearing this, a thousand households standing aside couldn't help but explain.
Li Hongyu didn't want the people of Jinyi Weibei Town to destroy the clues left in Li Kezhuo's house, so he ordered that Jinyiwei's people were forbidden to touch the items in the room, which made the soldiers just drive people out, and did not search through the boxes and cabinets, so they didn't know where the list of gifts was.
"Go, tell Li Kezhuo and ask him to hand over the roster." When Li Hongyu heard this, he instructed the Qianhu that he believed that Li Kezhuo would not take a confrontational attitude in this matter, otherwise he would be asking for trouble.
Sure enough, Li Kezhuo did not resist, and immediately handed over the gift list of yesterday's gift-giver, a whole two large baskets, and the gift-giver last night did not leave until late at night.
"Seal these lists, no one is allowed to touch them without the order of the official, and violators will be beheaded!"
To everyone's surprise, Li Hongyu did not check those rosters but directly asked people to seal them, and then said, "Go to the household department to find someone to count the gifts, the official wants to know how much silver these gifts are worth?" ”
"Obedience." Hearing this, the Qianhu bowed down, and hurriedly went to the household department to transfer people, it is not an easy job to calculate the price after registering so many gifts.
Li Hongyu was not interested in those congratulatory gifts, and after explaining the thousand households, he got up and led everyone away, his task this time was to check the "elixir" offered by Li Kezhuo, so he had to check what clues related to the "elixir" could be found here.
"My lord, this is Li Kezhuo's study?" In front of a wing room in the backyard, a military attache of the Jinyi guard pushed open the door and reported to Li Hongyu in a deep voice.
"Lord Liu, you are guarding here, and the official will go in and have a look." Li Hongyu gave an order to Liu Han, who was standing aside, and then walked in, and looked carefully in the room, wanting to know if he could find something useful.
Liu Han knew that Li Hongyu was looking for clues, so he summoned his military attachés and told them to act cautiously with a solemn expression, if anyone bumped into Li Hongyu's hand this time, then wait for bad luck, Li Hongyu has been on the battlefield, and he will really cut off their heads at that time.
This made the military attaches of those Jinyi Weibei Zhenfu Si feel a lot of psychological pressure, for fear that they would be caught by Li Hongyu if they committed something, so they would wait for death.
