Li Yong said: "This matter has to start from ten months ago. At that time, the courtier Zhenren came to Yangzhou with 500 Fusang people and ten big ships. In my second thought, I am a guest from afar, and I have to entertain people well. So, in the Quy Nhon Restaurant, dozens of tables of good wine and food were set up and invited to dinner. That night, the Fuso people were all very drunk. However, who would have thought that there would be unforeseen circumstances in the sky, that night, a strong wind suddenly blew up, and overturned their boats and sank to the bottom of the river. Master Cui, think about it, can you blame me for this? But this Fusang envoy didn't give up, not to say that he sent someone to steal their goods, it was really kind and not rewarded! โ
"Nonsense!" The courtier Zhenren retorted: "The sea boat we made was fine in the sea for a month, how could it be blown over by a gust of wind on the edge of the Yangtze River?" โ
Li Yong spread his hands and said, "There are no wonders in the world, who can say this kind of thing?" Take 10,000 steps back. Even if there isn't such a strong wind, maybe you've done too many bad things to make the Dragon Lord angry? What does it have to do with me? โ
Asada's liver trembled, and said, "Until now, do you still dare to deny it?" It is clear that you took advantage of our drunkenness to steal our property and capsize our ship! You...... What you just said is simply a strong word! โ
"Am I strong in words? I also said that this is all your speculation, and you can't count them. What evidence do you have? โ
"It can be inferred according to common sense, but what evidence is needed?"
โฆโฆ
The two were arguing and arguing. Cui Geng understood after listening to it that Li Yong was indeed suspected of committing a major crime, and I am afraid that what this courtier said was true.
However, on this issue, he obviously has to help his relatives or not!
When the two of them got tired of arguing, their voices gradually lowered, Cui Geng coughed lightly and interrupted: "Two, you say that the public is reasonable, and the mother-in-law says that the mother-in-law is reasonable, and it is difficult for the official to distinguish for a while. However, there is one thing, I have to confirm first, the goods on the ship are really worth three million yuan? Envoy of the Japanese Kingdom, what are you doing with so much wealth when you send an envoy to the Great Zhou? โ
The courtier Zhenren snorted coldly and said, "These belongings are a gift from me~ Japan to the Great Zhou Emperor." โ
Cui Geng said disdainfully: "Pull it down, it's not the first time that the Wa Kingdom has sent Tang envoys." Which time didn't you pick it out? How could you be willing to come up with so much money this time? โ
"Well, of course these belongings can't be given in vain, we want to exchange people with Da Zhou Tianzi"
"Who?"
"Prince Otomo. Now that I~ Emperor Wenmu of Japan have been on the throne for three years, and his power is stable, it is time to end the public case of that year. โ
The so-called Prince Otomo is the Fuso puppet emperor that Cui Geng caught at the beginning. He is now named "Duke of Haiguo" by Wu Zetian, and his small life is quite nourishing.
Cui Geng said with a smile: "As a result, all these belongings were lost. Doesn't that mean that Prince Otomo has the blessing of heaven and cannot be harmed? โ
"Master Cui, let's just talk about the case, don't say anything about going to heaven and not going to heaven." Dali Temple Cheng Yan interjected: "Now that the facts of the case are clear, the property that Fusang is going to dedicate to the emperor of the Great Zhou Dynasty has been lost, and Li Yong is suspected of committing a major crime. Our Dali Temple summoned him, isn't it too much? โ
"That's not right!" Cui Geng shook his head and said, "Didn't this case happen ten months ago?" Your Dali Temple didn't summon Li Yong in the early morning, and didn't summon Li Yong in the evening, why did Li Yong summon him when he was a guest at the official's house? Is it sincerity to add to the blockage of this official? โ
He really guessed it.
The court of the Great Zhou Dynasty, from the dignitaries and relatives to the peddlers and pawns, all looked down on the Fusang people. Therefore, the courtier Zhenren first sued the Jiangdu County Ya, then the Yangzhou Assassin's Mansion, and even the Dali Temple in the capital, but no one was willing to accept his complaint.
That is, Yuan Shuji, after hearing about the relationship between Li Yong and Cui Geng, decided to take over the case.
Of course, Yan Wuyi couldn't tell the truth, so he had to say: "If you ask this, you will be embarrassed." Let's put it this way, the Shaoqing of Dali Temple asked the lower officials to arrest whoever I wanted, and I will arrest whoever I want, as for why I have to arrest it now, the lower officials really don't know. โ
As he spoke, he took out an official document from his sleeve pocket and said, "Lord Cui, please see, this is the official document of Dali Temple." You are a particular person, so you won't be embarrassed, right? โ
If this is not to blame, Cui Geng will really forcibly protect Li Yong. It's a big deal to have a saliva lawsuit with Yuan Shuji in front of Mrs. Wu, who is afraid of whom?
However, as soon as Yan Wuyi said such soft words, he really didn't want to give any face.
Cui Geng thought for a moment and nodded; "Cheng, it's not difficult for you to be the official, you can take Li Yong away. However, when the official personally goes to Dali Temple to ask for someone, it won't be your business, right? โ
"That is, as long as Li Yong follows the lower official into the Dali Temple, the lower official's task will be completed."
Cui Geng waved his hand and said, "Okay, then you can go." Remember, don't be embarrassed Brother Li, or ...... But it's hard for me Cui Erlang. โ
"Don't worry, you will never be able to treat him badly."
The people of Dali Temple and the courtier Zhenren of Fusang envoy left with Li Yong. Cui Geng closed his eyes and waited for about a quarter of an hour before taking Feng Changqing and others to Dali Temple.
"Oops, Erlang, why are you here? What a rarity! โ
Although Cui Geng wanted to be a VIP with the newly appointed Shaoqing Huan Yanfan of Dali Temple, however, it happened that as soon as he arrived at the gate of Dali Temple, he met Liu Youqiu, who was returning from handling the case.
Cui Geng didn't want to embarrass Liu Youqiu, and said: "Don't worry about this matter, this official is here to manage the dignitaries of Dali Temple." โ
"What? Need? Liu Youqiu had a ghost in his heart, and he would be wrong immediately, and said, "Erlang, don't be angry!" It's not that my surname is Liu, but when I got the news, the person was already dead. There is a saying that people can't be resurrected after death, and if I report to you again, it won't be interesting except to add some blockage to you. โ
Cui Geng was puzzled: "What...... What died? Who died? โ
"Alas, Erlang, you don't have to be confused. Isn't that obvious? After you came back, I heard that Xu Yuanqing died in the prison of Dali Temple, so I came to Dali Temple to ask for the guilt. โ
"What?" When Cui Geng heard this, his heart shook violently, his voice changed, and he said, "What did you say?" Xu Yuanqing is dead? Isn't he being locked up in a prison in the Criminal Department? When did you get to Dali Temple? How can you still ...... Still dead? โ
"Erlang, you really don't know?"
"I really don't know, I'm here to Dali Temple to ask for a person named Li Yong."
"Hey!" Hearing this, Liu You begged to suspend himself with a big mouth, but the matter had come to this point, so he had to say: "Don't hide it, Xu Yuanqing has been dead for more than a year." It was Lord Yuan Shuji Yuan, who personally wrote the Criminal Department, saying that the case was very important, and asked him to come over. But who would have thought that three months later, he had a sudden illness and died! โ
"Sudden illness? Hey! Sudden illness? Hey! โ
Boom!
As he spoke, Cui Geng grabbed Liu Youqiu's neck collar, gritted his teeth and said, "What kind of temperament is my Cui Geng, you Liu Sizheng is very clear." Now, the official will ask you, is this Xu Yuanqing really sick to death? โ
Liu Youqiu was stared at by Cui Geng for a while, turned his head, and said, "The jailer has reported a death." How did Xu Yuanqing die, I ...... I do not know. โ
"Don't know? Okay, that's enough, thank you! Cui Geng's heart was depressed and difficult to disperse, and he yelled and said, "Yuan Shuji, I know you are here!" If you're a fucking man, get out of here! Let's settle the new accounts and old accounts together! โ
"It's coming!"
As soon as Cui Geng's words fell, someone answered.
Immediately after, the sound of footsteps, a group of people slowly walked out of the Dali Temple. The two people led by Cui Geng know each other, Yuan Shuji on the left, and Zhang Cambodia, the old prime minister, on the right. In addition, the Fusang envoy courtier Zhenren, Dali Temple Shaoqing Huan Yanfan and others are also among them.
Cui Geng sneered: "The people are really together, presumably Yuan Xiangye has already explained the story of this case." This official has come to ask you, what kind of crime should you be guilty of knowing the law and breaking the law, killing people and killing people? โ
