Li Zhi, don't be a coward

Chapter 451
Li Ji's level of storytelling is still good. A case involving a murder case is fascinating from his mouth.

Li Qinzai couldn't help sighing deeply when he heard the passage where Li Jingye was interested in the prisoner's wife.

What the hell is the romantic thing about the belt being loose.

...Why can't I encounter such a good thing?

Li Ji was talking, when he saw Li Qinzai's expression fluttering, his old face suddenly sank: "What are you thinking?"

Li Qinzai immediately sat upright, "Grandson is thinking about how my cousin will handle this case."

Li Ji showed satisfaction: "As expected of my Li family's Qilin son, you are much more promising than your disappointing cousin."

Then Li Ji continued.

When Li Jingye met the prisoner's wife, of course it wasn't as exaggerated as the thunder that caused the fire. Li Jingye didn't have that charm.

In the back hall of the Governor's Mansion, the prisoner's wife knelt in front of Li Jingye, begging and crying. Under the narration of the prisoner's wife, Li Jingye grasped the hidden truth behind the case.

It turned out that the deceased was not a good person. Seeing that the prisoner’s wife was beautiful, he often harassed and molested her in the village.

Finally one day, the deceased did something even more outrageous. He peeked at the prisoner's wife taking a bath and was discovered on the spot.

In short, the criminal committed this major case, which is unacceptable under the law and justifiable.

After learning the secrets of the case, Li Jingye hesitated.

In the 11th year of Zhenguan, Changsun Wuji and Fang Xuanling compiled the "Law of Zhenguan" and issued it to the world.There are twelve chapters and five hundred articles in the Law of Zhenguan.

For the crimes committed by Liuzhou prisoners, no matter which section of the Zhenguan Law is used to explain the matter, according to the law, they should pay for their lives with their lives.

But the law is actually very flexible.Different presiding judges often give different results.

Especially there is such a secret behind this case, and more importantly, the prisoner's wife is so beautiful...

Li Jingye is not a kind person, but in front of a beautiful woman, his kindness attributes are suddenly full for some reason.

So Li Jingye took up the airs of an official, first speaking harshly, and then softly.

After a set of officialdom routines, the prisoner's wife is also a veteran who has experienced human affairs, and she knows that she must pay a price to rescue her husband, so she raised her eyebrows, bowed her head shyly, and the charm of wanting to greet and yet rejecting is captivating.

Li Jingye has always been the vanguard of the romantic scene, so he is no stranger to the jerky and immature seduction skills of the prisoner's wife.

The two looked at each other and smiled, and a good deed was accomplished in the backyard of the Governor's Mansion.

Afterwards, Li Jingye was also considered kind, and immediately sent his confidants to the village where the crime happened, paid ten pennies in compensation to the relatives of the deceased, and frightened the relatives, after all, the deceased was at fault first.

The relatives took the money, but they didn't dare to offend the officials, so they withdrew the pleading paper tactfully.

Li Jingye also instructed the head of the village to collect the petitions of the farmers, which probably meant that the deceased had a lot of bad deeds, and the prisoner accidentally killed someone out of anger and impulsiveness.

The sufferer withdrew the pleadings, and another farmer petitioned, so the case was commuted by Li Jingye to exile in Qiongnan, and he could not return for ten years.

Hearing this, Li Qinzai wondered: "Isn't everyone happy? There is nothing wrong with my cousin's judgment of the case. Even if he did not have an affair with the prisoner's wife, there is nothing wrong with just looking at the surface of the case. Whoever is full can take this A case comes out to talk about something?"

Li Ji snorted coldly: "It was right, but something happened again..."

Li Qinzai sighed: "Grandpa, this wave of yours has not yet subsided, and another wave of attacks is coming, the vast sea of ​​people..."

"Shut up, don't talk, your words are like your urine." Li Ji said coldly.

Li Qinzai continued to sit upright.

The murder case in Liuzhou had already been handled relatively perfectly. Except for not holding on to his waistband, Li Jingye basically didn't make any mistakes in handling this case.

But it was the belt that didn't hold him tight, which made him fall into the quagmire.

The prisoner was sentenced to exile in Qiongnan, and his wife and Li Jingye went on the road with her husband after a night of dew.

However, the incident happened suddenly, and the sufferer who had already withdrawn the petition went back on his word. After Li Jingye claimed that he was ill and returned to Chang'an, he filed another complaint against the prisoner, saying that the case was unfair, and how could the prisoner not pay for his life if he killed someone.

After the incident, just a few days ago, news came from Qiongnan that the prisoner and his wife had been killed.

It is said that the husband was dismembered by knives, but the wife was stabbed in the abdomen with a sword, and she bled a lot. Before she died, she dipped her index finger in the blood, wrote Li Jingye's name on the wall, and finally died.

The news spread to Chang'an a few days ago. At that time, Li Jingye was involved in another scandal, that is, the incident of stealing the concubine of the Minister of the Ministry of Officials, and was impeached by the censors to the point of death.

Unexpectedly, the thunderbolt from the blue sky, Qiongnan reported a murder case, which was directly related to Li Jingye.

The censors suddenly went crazy, and someone had directly impeached Li Jingye in front of Li Zhi at the court meeting.

All the censors impeached Li Jingye for murder.

The fact that Li Jingye had fornicated the prisoner's wife was not a secret, it happened in the backyard of the Governor's Mansion, and the servants in the Governor's Mansion were not blind.

The prisoner and his wife died tragically, and Li Jingye's name was left on the wall. It was clearly Li Jingye who saw the incident, so he urgently sent people to Qiongnan to silence the prisoner and his wife, and completely cut off the witnesses and material evidence.

At the court meeting, Li Zhi was also a little confused by the news, and didn't know whether it was true or not. However, the public opinion was already rising, and the courtiers were furious. Li Zhi had no choice but to send Wang Changfu to the Duke's mansion to ask Li Ji's opinion.

What else can Li Ji say, of course it is state-owned and the law of the state, according to the laws of the Tang Dynasty, the old man will definitely not favoritism.

Therefore, Li Jingye was arrested by Dali Temple and sent to prison.

Li Qinzai also understood Li Ji's intention to recall him to Chang'an urgently.

Li Ji is a meritorious father of the three dynasties and a very prestigious old man. When his grandson committed a crime, Li Ji also stated that he would never show favoritism.

But there is clearly a conspiracy behind this case, and Li Ji is not the type to sit and wait for death. Although the Li family is prosperous, only Li Qinzai is the most suitable person to handle this matter.

"Grandpa, what should my grandson do?"

Li Ji's eyebrows were half closed, and he said slowly: "Investigate the matter to the bottom. Although dedication is wrong, the old man believes that the person did not kill him. It is clear that someone deliberately framed this matter, maybe it was aimed at the old man, or it may be aimed you."

Empress Wu suddenly appeared in Li Qinzai's mind.

As if he could see what Li Qinzai was thinking, Li Ji glanced at him and said, "Before you find out everything, don't make wild guesses about who the enemy is. Take it one step at a time and pay your cousin justice first. If the enemy loses composure, sooner or later I'll jump out by myself."

Li Qinzai said softly: "The one who dares to frame my cousin against our government should have a high status, right? People with ordinary official positions are probably not qualified to frame our family."

Li Ji seemed to be asleep, he closed his eyes and remained silent.
