Li Sixi and Li Gonggong took hundreds of men and horses to kill Cao Yasi in Guazhou.

Originally, he was just going to come and get some soy sauce, knock on the Guazhou officials, get some benefits and leave, but the development of things got out of control from the beginning.

Ma Hanqing was not as wasteful as Yang Yi scolded, in fact, he had already found out the facts of the case, but Yang Yi was unwilling to come forward to stir up trouble, so he used Li Sixi as a gunman.

In real terms, Li Sixi has no right to investigate and prosecute local officials.

He is an envoy, not a "minister", but as an angel, he came out of the capital, and others had to provide for him, so as not to give him small words after returning to Beijing, which invisibly raised his status very high, and it seemed that he could point fingers everywhere.

As soon as they arrived at the Hu Cao Office, before Gonggong Li spoke, all his subordinates rushed into Hu Cao to take people and seal the account books.

Gonggong Li immediately realized that this was wrong and violated the professional ethics of the soy sauce party.

He hurriedly shouted: "Stop, stop............"

Ma Hanqing asked with a stunned face: "Gonggong Li, aren't we here to punish lawlessness, so as not to damage the saintliness of the official family by these corrupt officials who plague the localities?" ”

Li Sixi choked for a moment, and said with an angry face: "What you said is right, but our family hasn't spoken yet, you rush in to get people, it's simple to make sense, let them withdraw quickly." ”

It's no wonder that Gonggong Li is in a hurry, at this time, there are already chickens and dogs jumping in the Hucao Office, and the people arranged by Ma Hanqing are like wolves and tigers. The officials involved in the case have been detained, and then they have directly looked for empty rooms in the yamen. Separate trials, although no torture was used. But the evidence they prepared was ample and the progress was rapid.

Ma Hanqing sighed and said: "Gonggong Li, don't blame the lower officials for not listening to what they say, as the so-called opening the bow has no turning back, the father-in-law's concerns are understood by the lower officials, but you don't care about this matter, once you want to take care of it, you can't drag the mud and water, otherwise these illegal and corrupt officials will destroy the evidence." Instead, we will fall into passivity. ”

That's right, but Gonggong Li just wants to make soy sauce, and he doesn't plan to really handle the case!

The problem is that Li Sixi is not easy to say this, and he is not stupid, he understands that this time he was used as a gun by Yang Yi, and he knows that he knows, but can he turn his face with Yang Yi? Does he dare?

Hey, I'm really in a hurry, what can I do? Li Sixi was as anxious as an ant on a hot pot.

Ma Hanqing continued: "Gonggong Li still remembers that Duke Ning led a group of ministers back then. Go to Baowen Pavilion to ask the first emperor to abolish the Gao family, if Ning Guogong was also hesitant at the beginning, would he still have today's status?

Father-in-law, everything should be decided. When the judgment continues, but the chaos is adversary, since the father-in-law is determined to investigate the case. Naturally, it is necessary to cut through the mess quickly and grasp all the evidence in hand first. Let the case be revealed to the world first, as for what the father-in-law is worried about. Won't it be easy then? ”

Li Sixi blurted out, "What should I do?" ”

"Hey, what should I do if I still need it? With conclusive evidence in hand, my father-in-law can let these officials go, and we didn't beat him or detain him, just as if nothing happened, after returning to Beijing, what happened to the whole thing, isn't it up to you, father-in-law? ”

"That's not necessarily, won't these officials go up to the table and bite our family?"

"The father-in-law was worried about this, but the lower official is going to talk about you again, the magistrate's recital is handed up layer by layer, and when it is handed to the queen mother, it is enough for the father-in-law to participate in him ten times or eight times, and maybe the court will have already dealt with these officials, isn't this what is often said to be close to the water and the moon first."

Li Sixi thought about it, this is also true, Guazhou is far away here, and the landlord's recitals are sent up layer by layer, and it will not be possible to deliver them in three months, and he will have returned to the capital by then.

Ma Hanqing saw that he was uneasy, so he added another fire and said: "Take 10,000 steps back and say, even if the magistrate's performance is as fast, isn't there still a Yang scholar to testify for his father-in-law, and then the queen mother will believe in Yang Daxue or the magistrate, does this need to be said?" The father-in-law passed the decree on behalf of the Son of Heaven, and he made such a contribution, and the queen mother's reward must be indispensable. ”

As soon as Li Sixi heard this, his heart suddenly brightened, and a brilliant chrysanthemum bloomed on his face again, that's right, Yang Yi treats himself as a gunman, so what if our family gives him a gun, let him owe this favor, and the benefits will be few in the future.

The speed of Ma Hanqing's actions is amazing, and the case has been investigated by him almost, and the officials involved in the case are arrested one by one;

In the face of conclusive evidence, those petty officials couldn't hold on at first, and soon confessed, and once someone confessed, it would be easy to do, and after the embankment broke a gap, it could easily become a complete burst.

When Ma Hanqing and Li Sixi grinded their teeth, there were already many small officials inside who began to confess, and when Zhizhou Jiang Feng heard the news, Ma Hanqing and the others had already obtained enough confessions and evidence, and they called it a day.

"My lord, together with the property donated by the merchants of the Great Song Dynasty, the amount involved in the case is as much as 10,320 yuan, and less than 50% of it is actually put into the warehouse, and 50% of it has been divided by officials at all levels headed by Geng Dazhong." Ma Hanqing said succinctly.

Guazhou is located in the key to the Western Regions, the war has just ended, many caravans flocked to come, and the merchants of the Great Song Dynasty donated quite generously, in addition to helping the affected people, they also have the meaning of selling Guazhou officials a face, and the future is good.

"According to what you said, Jiang Feng was not directly involved." Yang Yi asked.

"Back to my lord, Jiang Feng also got the benefits handed over by Geng Dazhong, but he didn't know the specific amount of Geng Dazhong's donation."

Yang Yi couldn't help but smile bitterly, Jiang Feng is the kind of nerd-shaped civil official, from the last time he arranged himself to this mansion, he can see that he is not familiar with human feelings, Geng Dazhong is a local in Guazhou, he can be regarded as a local snake, it is not difficult to fool Jiang Feng, a nerd.

Guazhou seems to be remote, but it is actually located in Chongchong, and it is really the fault of the princes of the imperial court to let a nerd be the chief official in such an important place.

While the two were talking, Li Sixi came in, and urged as soon as he opened his mouth: "Ning Guogong, our family has rested enough, when our family left Beijing, the Queen Mother specially instructed Ning Guogong to return to Beijing immediately after receiving the order, we are not good for a long time, Ning Guogong, look, let's leave sooner?" ”

Yang Yi understands his thoughts, isn't he afraid that he will go to Beijing before the magistrate's recital, and the oil and water he should have fished in the past two days have also been fished, if he is in a hurry, there will be an extra credit to receive after going back, of course, if he walks slowly, he is likely to be a ginseng.

"Father-in-law, don't worry, the official has already packed up, and we will go back to Beijing early tomorrow morning."

"That's good, that's good, after returning to Beijing, our family will rely on the help of the Guogong, you must be the master of our family!"

"What is the father-in-law's words, in order to maintain the benevolence of the official family, punish the traitor and eliminate the evil, how can the official turn a blind eye, and ask for credit for the father-in-law is an inevitable thing."

After getting Yang Yi's assurance again, Li Sixi's heart finally let go.

Early the next morning, the morning sun had just risen above the horizon, and Yang Yi and his entourage had already left the east gate of Guazhou and officially embarked on the long road back to Beijing;

Except for Li Yizhong, most of the troops brought by Yang Yi had to stay in the Western Regions for the time being, waiting for the imperial court to send a new army to take over the defense before returning to Beijing.

Only Li Yizhong can return to Beijing with him, Xie Dongsheng still stays in Liaodong, Liu Wu stays in Shaye, Yang Zhi attacks Huangtou and goes back, Miao Zhu stays in Xizhou temporarily, and even Ma Hanqing wants to stay in Guazhou temporarily.

This inevitably makes people feel a little emotional, the curtain of the war has slowly fallen, and the comrades who once fought side by side are scattered in all directions, thousands of miles away, and the news is gone, and the once eventful years are like a big dream.

Half of the red morning sun is still buried under the yellow sand on the horizon, the east is shining, and on the desert in the distance, the night wind is still whimpering and seems reluctant to leave;

The dew on the nearby blades of grass shimmers brightly in the morning sun, but soon they will dry up, and they will be born like morning dew, how can life not be like this!

Yang Yi looked back at the city of Guazhou bathed in the morning sun, Ma Hanqing and they were still waving goodbye, Yang Yi couldn't help but sigh: "Looking back at the bleak place, returning, there is no wind and rain and no sunshine!" ”

Returning from Guazhou to the east, along the way, Xiaobai still went out every night to mingle with the nearby wolves, and the places he passed were mostly yellow sand, and the lack of water was serious, Xiaobai was about to become Xiaohuang, but it was still happily mixed.

Yang Yi had met the envoy of the Naiban tribe on the south bank of the Atami Sea and expressed his attitude, but then he crossed the green ridge and soon returned to Guazhou.

Along the way, Yang Yi rarely rode a horse, and lay on the carriage every day, as if he was preoccupied.

Adella was a little worried, stretched out her hand and touched his forehead, and asked softly, "My lord, are you okay?" ”

Yang Yi still closed his eyes, but the corners of his mouth turned up slightly, revealing a faint smile and said, "Don't worry, Adella, I'm fine." ”

"Then why don't you talk all day, why is that?"

"I'm thinking about life, I'm thinking about philosophy, I'm thinking about ......... Well, it's mainly about thinking about what kind of official I can get when I return to Beijing. ”

Seeing that he was amused, Adèla casually asked, "What kind of official position does the lord want?" ”

Yang Yi hugged her to himself and said with a smile: "Adella is a princess, I have to get the prince to do it, so that we can be the right person!" ”

Hearing that he was making fun of himself again, Adella twisted her body in his arms to make herself more comfortable before saying, "No matter what you are, Adella is just your captive, your captive for life." ”

Yang Yi was a little moved, hugged her bumpy body, didn't speak again, smelled the intoxicating body fragrance on her body, and her mood was slowly stretching;

At this moment, he didn't want to think about anything, there were too many things in this world, why bother mediocre people to bother themselves and work endlessly, isn't it good to be at ease when they are comfortable?
