Chapter 139 Fighting poison with fire
Tang Lin has been an official for many years and is known for his integrity and strictness. He is thrifty by nature, not extravagant. After Li Zhi ascended the throne, he was appointed Minister of Dali Temple.
Just a while ago, Li Zhi asked about the number of prisoners in the prison, and Tang Lin reported fifty. In the cases handled by the former Minister of Dali Temple, there were many complaints of grievances, but in the cases handled by Tang Lin, no one complained of grievances. Li Zhi greatly appreciated this.
Tang Lin ordered the steward and others of Linqinghou's Mansion to be interrogated. Relying on evidence and other things, he dug out the hidden cases one by one.
"Desperate for conscience!"
In the hall, Tang Lin took the confession and said angrily: "If this kind of people don't kill, I will be ashamed to be an official!"
On the fifth day, Tang Lin brought a confession to the palace to seek an audience.
"Your Majesty, the case of the Marquis of Linqing selling Liang as a slave has been investigated."
Li Zhi looked up from the memorial, "Oh, tell me."
Tang Lin held the confession in his hand, but did not go to see it, "Yang Sheng, Marquis of Linqing, lost his family property four years ago with a bet, and the family business withered, and then he bought some pretty girls from the countryside and brought them to Chang'an City..."
The Tang Dynasty forbids a beloved man to be a slave, and buying and selling is a crime. Those who sell a good man as a slave will be hanged!
"He bribed Linghua, the prime minister of Xishi, and Linghua set up a case for him."
Li Zhi's eyes became more stern, "Can Ling Hua take it?"
"It has been taken."
Tang Lin said: "The minister also found out about the murder of a woman by the Marquis of Linqing."
Li Zhi took a deep breath, "The crime is heinous!"
Tang Lin raised his head, "Put to death!"
Li Zhi pondered...
"Your Majesty!" Tang Linlang said loudly: "The law must be obeyed!"
Li Zhi said slowly: "Marquis of Linqing..."
"Your Majesty, if you sell your goodness into slavery, you will be hanged! If you don't kill me, I will..." Tang Lin banged his head and knelt down, "I can't bear your majesty's orders, begging for bones!"
Li Zhi was furious and pointed at Tang Lin, "You..."
He has a lot to consider.
Tang Lin raised his head and said: "Your Majesty, the Marquis of Linqing sold his good men as slaves and tortured and killed women from good families. If such people are not killed, His Majesty wants to tell those powerful people that they can avoid death if they kill people? If he kills today, you will kill tomorrow. Datang has become a joke! Does Your Majesty want to be the emperor of that joke?"
"Bold!" Wang Zhongliang yelled: "Your Majesty spoke falsely before, what should I do!"
"Death without regret!" Seeing the emperor's hesitation, Tang Lin didn't have any scruples. "I went to Jia's house in Daodefang five days ago. Jia Ping'an was in a coma. I asked him if he regretted it? The bottom line. Your Majesty, where is the bottom line?"
He kowtowed.
Li Zhi was terrified, and immediately came down to help Tang Lin up.
"Tang Qing reminded me, I..."
…
Five days later, Jia Ping'an was able to walk out with a cane.
Young body has strong recovery ability, but the medicine sent by Gao Yang also contributed a lot.
My cousin went out to buy tofu, and Ah Fu was very obedient at home with his father.
His buttocks were still not easy to sit down, so Jia Pingan walked slowly. According to the doctor, he should get out of bed and walk around in five days to relax his tendons and activate blood circulation.
"Xiao Jia!"
A guest came outside, Ah Fu went over familiarly, and slammed the door, and the half-hidden door bounced open.
Cui Yixuan outside the door said with a smile: "Xiao Jia..."
What about Xiao Jia?
He lowered his head and saw Ah Fu standing upright.
"Ah Fu? Hahahaha! So cute!" Cui Yixuan patted Ah Fu on the head and said, "I came to the door in a hurry, but I didn't have any presents. I'll get some meat for you later."
Jia Ping'an always felt that Ah Fu could live comfortably in Chang'an City by showing off his cuteness, and he could also support their two brothers by the way. He greeted him with a smile, "Why is Mr. Cui here?"
Cui Yixuan turned around and took the gift from his entourage, "The old man wanted to come that day, but the old man has the name of the Cui family, so when he comes, he will make those people gossip..."
"This one knows, Cui Gong is too worried."
"You don't know." Cui Yixuan entered the house, "You broke into the Marquis of Linqing that day. When the news came out, the old man's first thought was that you were crazy! The same goes for those people. Then someone said that the Shandong clan had closed your house. I appointed you to be an eagle dog, specially to bite Xungui... At that time, if the old man or Saburo comes, such rumors will be spread everywhere..."
He looked sideways at Jia Pingan, "The old man only found out the details of the case later, Xiao Jia..." He patted Jia Pingan on the shoulder, "It's good to be a young man!"
Cui Yixuan's arrival means that Jia Ping'an has the moral upper hand in this matter, and the voices that reprimanded him for trespassing in the Hou's mansion are getting weaker and weaker.
People from Baiqi would also visit him from time to time, and every time the old prostitutes came, they told him to go back quickly, but they didn't say the reason.
Xu Jingzong was the last to come.
"The old man is busy!" Old Xu sat down, reached out to touch Ah Fu, "You were beaten... the old man thought it was a good thing."
Yang Deli brought the tea, he was startled when he heard this, wishing he could pour the tea on Lao Xu's face.
Xu Jingzong said proudly that "the wisdom of the old man can illuminate the whole moral workshop", "You are so smooth. Back then, the old man once met an expert who gave advice. He said... the more smooth you are, the more careful you must be. After you are smooth, you will definitely It's difficult."
"Think about it, how long has it been since you entered Baiqi, and you have already joined the army as a recorder. This kind of luck... safe, this luck, it will change. It will be good for a while, and it will be bad for a while, the old man has a look..."
Old Xu squinted at Jia Pingan solemnly, "The old man sees that your luck is not good recently, so go back to the temple to worship. If it doesn't work, go to Tai Shiling and ask him to pray for you."
Old Xu, this is... Changed career?
Jia Pingan asked cautiously: "Mr. Xu, are you...ready to become a monk?"
"Why do you become a monk?" Xu Jingzong sighed: "The old man has recently explored the world, and people can see it right. You are born and raised at home, and you will go back after your majesty's anger dissipates. By the way, what time is it? "
He went out to look at the sky, turned around and said, "It's time for dinner, I have to go back quickly."
Yang Deli was heartbroken, but he was at home, and he felt sorry if he didn't invite him, "Grand Xu, the food is already prepared at home, let's use some together."
Xu Jingzong frowned, "How bad is this?"
This old guy has become a master of eating food!
Jia Pingan laughed and said, "It's not good if you don't eat."
Xu Jingzong said with a smile: "It's enough to bother me, and I will go to the old man's house to eat when I turn back. Take your cousin safely, and bring Ah Fu with you."
Old Xu was satisfied with the meal, and before leaving, he picked his teeth and confessed to Jia Pingan: "Do as the old man said, if you are in bad luck now, you have to stay at home honestly, and wait for the bad luck to dissipate... Take a look, old man."
After eating a meal at Lao Jia's house, Lao Xu felt that he needed to be paid.
Xu Qiwangshi Jingzong squinted at the top of Jia Ping'an's head, "At least a month, just stay at home for a month."
Yang Deli was taken aback by his words, supported Jia Ping'an and muttered: "This meal is worth eating, I will invite him to come to see him later..."
Old Xu stared blankly at him, and his cousin was a little stunned. He let go of Jia Pingan and said, "Mr. Xu, wait a minute."
This is... Not only can it be eaten, but it can also be packed?
Xu Jingzong smiled, "Don't do that, it's very boring."
Yang Deli slipped a few pieces of freshly made bacon, Xu Jingzong said seriously: "This is inappropriate, extremely inappropriate!"
He said something was wrong while taking the bacon, "Don't do that next time."
The door opened, and Xu Jingzong said goodbye.
"Hey! Did the Jia family know in advance that we were coming? Or was someone checking on the wall?"
A sharp voice came from outside the door, and Old Xu was furious, cursing: "You bitch, how dare you do this..."
These words are a bit frivolous, but the opening of the old Jia's house is just right, but it has to be doubted.
In front, an internal servant came slowly with several guards. When he saw that it was Lao Xu who opened the door, the internal servant cupped his hands in embarrassment, "I have met Mr. Xu."
Old Xu laughed, thinking about how to get revenge...
"What are you waiting for?" The person coming from the palace represents the meaning of the emperor. Old Xu couldn't help being a little worried when he thought of what he had said to fool the two brothers of the Jia family.
The waiter smiled and said: "Your Majesty heard that Jia Canjun is not feeling well, so let's take a look."
Old Xu almost fell over.
what does this mean?
Under normal circumstances, the emperor sent people to visit the sick, mostly with the intention of investigating. How is your condition, how long can you live, how long can you fight for the country of Lao Li's family...
The purpose of visiting patients is mainly this.
But Jia Ping'an was just a recorder and joined the army, and his rank was not high enough.
Besides, Jia Ping’an was ordered to be beaten by the emperor. What does this visit mean?
Ask knowingly?
Old Xu quickly avoided.
The servant went in and saw Jia Pingan standing there supported by his cousin, he nodded and said, "Your Majesty ordered us to check on Jia Canjun's condition, but now it seems that he is recovering. Since he is recovering, we should go back as soon as possible. Let's see." It's not too late, let's go back now."
Xu Jingzong covered his forehead behind him.
Old man's face!
He fooled the two brothers of the Jia family, saying that Jia Ping'an's bad luck would last for another month, but in a blink of an eye the emperor sent someone to visit him.
This so-called sick visit can be seen by anyone with a discerning eye, and it is purely for comfort.
—Xiao Jia, I know that you did a good job with Marquis Linqing, but after all, you broke the rules, and I have no choice but to make people do it. Now that the dust has settled, you hurry back to work without delay.
The emperor can send someone to urge you to go to work, this kind of grace...it has nothing to do with bad luck!
As soon as the servant walked away, Yang Deli regretted it.
Those pieces of bacon were top-grade. He smoked them for three days and three nights according to his cousin’s instructions. After cooking and slicing them, the fat meat was crystal clear, and the lean meat was slightly red. oops! This is a fairy!
Old Xu held the bacon and muttered: "Since His Majesty sent someone to urge you, then hurry back and go later."
The old guy ran away like flying, but Jia Pingan fell into deep thought.
Why did the emperor send someone here?
…
In the palace.
Mr. Xiao was lying on the bed, eyes blank and said: "The concubine saw black shadows, some of them were shadowy, and they all rushed towards the concubine. The concubine...is really scared, Your Majesty..."
The medical officer shook his head, "Your Majesty, it's not because of your body."
Mrs. Xiao was favored. Hearing that she was unwell, there were two medical officers as soon as they came.
Another elderly medical officer stroked his beard and said, "Your Majesty, do you still remember what happened to the late Emperor?"
Li Zhi was shocked, "You mean..."
He thought of one thing.
At that time, the first emperor was unwell and had nightmares. He dreamed that the former prince Li Jiancheng and Li Yuanji, who had been killed by himself, came to claim their lives.
The old medical officer nodded, "Back then there was a hero guarding the gate of the late emperor, so the late emperor was able to rest in peace. Now..."
Li Zhi looked at Xiao Shi...
The old medical officer still said cheerfully, "Your Majesty, there are many powerful generals in the court. Lu Guogong and others are killing gods who have killed countless people. If they are ordered to come to suppress them, it will be fine within a few days."
The young medical officer next to him was giving him winks, but the old medical officer had poor eyesight and didn't see it.
This is my woman, let Cheng Zhijie come to see the door...
Li Zhi inexplicably felt that there was something above his head.
After the death of the first emperor, Cheng Zhijie escorted Li Zhi back to the palace to succeed him, and then guarded the palace for three months. After that, he returned home and hardly saw any guests. He was extremely cautious in his words and deeds.
The young medical officer had a good relationship with the old medical officer, so he wanted to make amends...
But who can come?
Li Chunfeng?
Come on, their medical officer has always been at odds with Lao Li, thinking that Lao Li is a charlatan.
Needless to say about the titans, Cheng Zhijie and the others stopped at the door, and the emperor would feel a shock when he turned around.
Huh!
The young medical officer thought of a person, "Your Majesty, when I was studying medicine, I learned a principle called fighting poison with poison, using poison to kill patients... Now this is an invasion of external evils, and I think it can be the same."
At present, Li Zhi also thinks that Xiao Shi can sleep, but when he slept with Xiao Shi last night, in the middle of the night, Xiao Shi suddenly screamed, which scared him so much that he almost thought someone was plotting against him.
This kind of thing happened a few times, and he felt that he didn't even want to come to the harem.
So, this is important.
"What method?"
The young medical officer smiled and said: "The broom star is poison, and the external evil is also poison. If the two poisons collide like this, your Majesty, we will see who is more powerful."
This is a good idea. The last time Jia Pingan went to the British government, he said it was to exorcise Li Jingye.
but…
Li Zhi called Wang Zhongliang, "Then Jia Ping'an often goes in and out of brothels, but he doesn't know what to do?"
Asking an old prostitute to guard the gate for his woman, Li Zhi was very disgusted.
Wang Zhongliang said: "Your Majesty, people of Baiqi love to go to Wuxiang Tower, and Jia Ping'an also goes there, and a poem makes the top female prostitute fall in love with her..."
This is still a popular **** client!
Li Zhi has a headache.
"But Jia Pingan didn't know why, so he ignored it and never wanted to get close to those women."
Wang Zhongliang sighed, thinking that such a broom star is really amazing.
Although he has nothing to do with a guy, he also knows the truth that a man cannot live without a woman. Those children from rich and powerful families, when they were fifteen years old, their skills were no less than that of old prostitutes.
Could it be that the broom star is inhumane?
Tsk tsk!
As the saying goes, I am happy when others are unlucky.
The inner servant who lacked the guy's affairs was extreme. After guessing that Master Jia was inhumane, Wang Zhongliang was in a very happy mood, feeling as if he had reached the peak.
Li Zhi was also taken aback.
As a prince... even if he lived as a little transparent under the shadow of a few capable brothers, there was never a shortage of women.
This...isn't it natural to act on your heart?
Why is that broom star not interested in women?
This is a good thing.
"Where is he now?" The emperor who beat Master Jia to death had already forgotten about it.
Wang Zhongliang said: "Last time for the case of the Marquis of Linqing, he was punished twenty times, and now he is recuperating at home."
"Oh!" Li Zhi remembered now, and he ordered: "Send someone and tell him to come back quickly."
So it happened that the servant went to Jia's house.
Jia Ping’an’s **** was still unable to ride a horse, and there was no carriage at home, so he borrowed an ox cart from the workshop and came slowly.
When he arrived in front of the imperial city, he got out of the car with a grin, and turned in.
"Follow us."
The servant who led the way ignored Master Jia's embarrassment, and walked ahead on his own, and walked very quickly.
If Jia Pingan can't keep up, he will be pulled down, and then he will become a lost lamb in the palace.
Walking around in the palace without authorization is a crime, which can be light or serious.
This is trying to cheat my father!
Jia Pingan didn't know why the servant wanted to cheat him, so he simply slowed down and walked slowly at a walking speed.
The scenery in the palace... It's hard to describe in words.
He has been to the Forbidden City in later generations, and the colorful traces of history make people sigh.
To be honest, the current imperial palace is really not very good, and it is still damp, so the Daming Palace was repaired later.
The servant is gone.
hehe!
This is to cheat Lao Jia, but if someone comes to reprimand Lao Jia for walking in the palace without authorization, Lao Jia will dare to say that the servant deliberately left him, a poor man who cannot walk.
As for offending the servant, he is afraid of a woolen thread.
A person suddenly appeared from the front left side hall, but it was...
Long-legged girl!
Master Jia smiled brightly, "It's Wushuang!"
Wei Wushuang came over and whispered back and forth: "The matter is very troublesome..."
"who?"
Someone came from behind, Wei Wushuang couldn't continue talking, and disappeared to the side.
Why does this look like a joint? What does it mean?
Jia Ping'an was very sad.
A servant came from behind, and got angry as soon as he approached, "Why did you enter the palace without waiting for us?"
I…
What the **** am I...
No matter how stupid Jia Pingan is, he still understands that the servant from before was not here to pick him up. No wonder he ran away quickly, otherwise it would be a big deal if he was caught by this person.
But how to explain at this moment?
Jia Ping'an's heart moved, "Someone brought someone in earlier."
Since something is wrong, then tell the truth, no, fool around, "That person disappeared out of thin air before."
People in the palace are the most superstitious, Jia Pingan wants to ask the reason for entering the palace, so try to fool around.
Sure enough, the servant's face was pale, "Could it be that our soul is out of the body?"
I also got the sword out of my body.
Jia Ping'an said with a worried face: "For such things, I heard from Taishi Ling that one should fast for ninety-nine or eighty-one days."
This servant is as fat as a pig, and Jia Pingan feels that he is doing a good deed.
"Thank you Jia Canjun for your guidance." The servant was very grateful, and Jia Pingan took the opportunity to ask: "I don't know why you let someone into the palace?"
Someone in front wanted to trick him, Wei Wushuang appeared halfway, and ran away only in time to warn him.
Could it be that they want to borrow seeds to give birth to a little broom star?
Jia Pingan was thinking wildly.
The servant remained silent.
Jia Ping'an knew that the matter was not small, and noble people were involved.
In the harem, Mrs. Wang was laughing.
"Is that foxy **** going to have a day too? Hahahaha!"
In the harem, although she is respected, the Xiao family has won the emperor's favor because of her charming appearance and bold style. Xiao Shi also took this opportunity to attack her frequently, and refused to let her go...
A woman came in outside, but it was Cai Yan, Wang's confidant.
Cai Yan's cheeks were slightly plump. After entering, she glanced to the left and right, and the two maids stepped back.
"The broom star was invited over there. The slave servant sent someone to bring him in. He wanted to leave him halfway, and then searched for someone to make trouble, but he was a bit slow."
Wang Shi was stunned, and then sneered: "Could it be possible that the **** star can subdue those ghosts? If I can, I will thank him in person. If not, remember to ask the outsiders to impeach him later, and say that the broom star will cause chaos in the palace."
"yes."
The crime of wreaking havoc in the palace can be big or small, and in the most serious case, it can be done with one knife.
…
Thanks to Lao Tang's lord for the reward!
