The first-class concubine of the Song Dynasty

Chapter 338 Retrial
"Master Du, how is Miss Duan's condition?" Liu Wei asked, looking at the sighing Du Neng.

Du Neng raised his head slightly, and his tone was a little dignified: "Ms. Duan's body is very weak. Apart from typhoid fever, she may have other diseases. It's just... I'm not sure what kind of disease it is. If possible, it's better to treat her typhoid fever first. Illness, temporarily observe for a period of time."

Liu Wei is not a doctor, so naturally he doesn't understand these things, so he agreed to Du Neng's proposal.

After Du Neng said this, someone had already brought a part of the "Compendium of Materia Medica" written by Liu Wei. After Du Neng got the Compendium of Materia Medica, he saw that it contained medicinal properties of some plants, many of which he did not know. I was very happy for a while.

"Good thing, good thing, Mr. Liu, even Shen Nong tasted all kinds of herbs, he didn't have such details."

Liu Wei smiled slightly: "It's enough to help the owner Du."

After Du Neng happily took the "Compendium of Materia Medica" and left, Liu Wei asked Ling'er to take care of Duan Yuerong, while he went to work on the dossier.

After two days like this, when Duan Yuerong's condition gradually improved, Zhugepi showed Liu Wei the things he had reviewed.

"My lord, the Li family and the Wu family have often colluded with Lin Zegang to defraud other people's shop land, it is really abominable."

Liu Wei looked at the things Zhugepi investigated, and then frowned slightly: "Hmph, do these two big families really think that there is no kingly law in Song Dynasty?"

Zhuge Pi was also angry and said: "Sir, why not send someone to arrest them."

Liu Wei waved: "No hurry, go to the prison first and meet Lin Zegang."

The government prison.

Lin Zegang never seemed to have thought that he would be imprisoned in a prison one day. He used to watch the prisoners staying in the prison outside, but now he has become a prisoner.

Liu Wei outside had already explained his intention of coming, he wanted to know if he was in collusion with the Li family and the Wu family.

Regarding this, he was a little puzzled. He had colluded with the Li family and the Wu family, and he could get a lot of money from them every time, but could he say it?If I said it, it meant that I broke the law with the Li family and the Wu family. Wouldn't my crime be more serious?
"No, I've never done any of these things."

Just when Lin Ze just said these words, Liu Wei's eyes suddenly revealed a murderous intent, which made Lin Zegang couldn't help but take a step back.

"You'd better be able to tell the truth, otherwise it will not be difficult for the officer to deal with your matter according to his discretion, but if you deliberately cover up the criminal, you may not even want to save your life in the end."

Lin Zegang looked at Liu Wei, thinking about the meaning of Liu Wei's words, was he trying to lure himself to tell the truth, or did he really want to deal with himself as appropriate?

Just when Lin Ze was thinking about it, Liu Wei snorted coldly and turned to leave. Seeing this, Lin Ze just panicked, and suddenly knelt down and said, "Lord Liu, please forgive me. You can say anything about these things. The Li family and Wu family colluded with this official, but this official has nothing to do with it, there are Lord Luo and Prince Peng behind them, and the official is their opponent."

After getting Lin Zegang's testimony, Liu Wei left the prison, and asked Zhugepi to find those who were bullied by the Li family and the Wu family, and asked Zhugepi to get evidence from those people.

This is not difficult, because those who were bullied by the Li family and the Wu family have already lost, and only one life is left for the defeated. Now that Liu Wei is willing to do justice for them, how can they refuse?
Therefore, on the third day after meeting Lin Zegang, Liu Wei announced the retrial of the case, and brought Li Kai, Wu San and other people related to the case to the lobby.

In the lobby of the government office, Liu Wei explained the evidence he had found and the testimony of the witnesses, and then looked at Li Kai and Wu San and asked, "Can you admit these crimes?"

Li Kai and Wu San were very nervous, they thought that after they found Lord Luo and Lord Peng, the matter would be over, but Liu Wei was holding on tightly, what should they do?
"Back to my lord, this... this is all wronged, non-existent things, my lord, please look into it clearly."

"My lord has already seen clearly. Now that there are all the witnesses and material evidence, can you plead guilty?" Liu Wei didn't want to waste words with Li Kai and Wu San on the obvious matter.

It's just this kind of thing, how could Li Kai and Wu San admit it?

Liu Wei cannot deal with these two sinners without affidavit certification. This is the strictness of the laws of the Song Dynasty. Even if a person has a lot of power, he cannot use his own power to decide life and death arbitrarily. In terms of law, Everything has to go through the system.

Seeing that Li Kai and Wu San refused to admit it, Zhuge Pi said: "My lord, it is better to use punishment."

Liu Wei also wanted to use torture, but the forces of the Li family and the Wu family were not weak in Chang'an City. Even if he used torture to make these two people plead guilty temporarily, they would definitely not stop there. They would say that it was Liu Wei who tortured him to extract a confession. It's a trick, so things will go wrong.

In Liu Wei's view, there are some situations where torture can be used, such as when it is necessary to obtain information from spies, such as when the person's crimes have been witnessed by himself, and torture will not have any bad effects on him.

But Li Kai and Wu San can't do it, Liu Wei is sure that as soon as he uses torture on his side, rumors will spread immediately from Lord Luo and Lord Peng.

The people in Chang'an City still respect these two old princes. If they speak out, the people will definitely turn against each other, but the public opinion may be very unfavorable to Liu Wei.

Therefore, after some thinking, Liu Wei sent someone to put Li Kai and Wu San in prison.

And just after Li Kai and Wu San were imprisoned, Li Luo and Wu Peng hurried into the palace again, and this time after they entered the palace, they started crying without saying a word.

Crying is called heart-piercing.

They felt wronged, wronged by Liu Wei, how powerful they were in Chang'an City more than ten years ago, they even helped Zhao Kuangyin resist foreign enemies, and helped Zhao Kuangyin become emperor, their credit is unmatched, but Now that a brat dares to break ground on their heads, isn't that slapping them in the face?

They felt that if Zhao Kuangyin still liked them, Liu Wei should be taught a lesson.

The two cried to death in front of Zhao Kuangyin, and Zhao Kuangyin felt that even if their mother died, they might not necessarily cry so sadly.

The crying continued, Zhao Kuangyin looked at the two people in front of him, and didn't show any expression, as if he didn't feel the words of the two people at all, he was just watching a movie, watching a crying scene.

The atmosphere in the room was a bit awkward. Li Luo and Wu Peng were crying, but Zhao Kuangyin didn't say a word. A little at a loss.

Just like that, the two of them stopped crying after a full stick of incense.

"My lord..."

"Holy..."

Zhao Kuangyin nodded slightly: "I'm here, have you cried enough?"

The cheeks of Li Luo and Wu Peng blushed suddenly, and then Li Luo quickly said: "My lord, that willow smell is going to kill my Li family."

"I already know about this matter. Li Kai and Wu San are involved in many cases. According to the laws of the Song Dynasty, we should indeed investigate. The two of you have always kept a low profile. I have taken care of Liu Wei. Unless it is absolutely necessary, you will not trouble you."

Zhao Kuangyin blocked these two people with one sentence, Li Luo and Wu Peng looked at each other, their hearts sank, the two princes were not afraid of Liu Wei, but if their clansmen were punished by Liu Wei like this, then they The Li family and the Wu family are completely finished in Chang'an City, will they still be nobles in Chang'an City in the future?

After leaving the palace, Li Luo didn't say a word.

Wu Peng frowned: "What are you thinking?"

Li Luo remained silent, and finally spoke after such a long time: "I think it's time."

"how many people?"

"It doesn't need to be too much, let's organize [-] people to make trouble first, too much will easily arouse the fear of the Holy One."

"Okay, listen, you and my family organize 500 people."
-
White House.

He had already heard about Li Luo and Wu Peng going to the palace, and he already knew about Li Luo and Wu Peng secretly organizing the people to riot in the government office.

"Brother Hei, the show is about to begin."

The name of the man in black is Heidu, one of the two major deacons of the Diablo organization, and now he smiled slightly after hearing Baiguan's words: "Yes, the show is about to begin, it would be great if Zhao Kuangyin could come to the government office in person, We can take advantage of the chaos."

Bai Guan frowned slightly, he felt that the timing was really good, but he didn't have enough confidence, but if Zhao Kuangyin could really come to the government office, maybe they would try their best, and even if they failed, Li Luo and Wu Peng resisted, after all, it was the two of them who did it, and the consequence they had to bear was that it would be more difficult to assassinate Zhao Kuangyin in the future, because if the assassination was unsuccessful, Zhao Kuangyin would definitely step up his guard and send someone to investigate the assassin Maybe he can't investigate the situation, maybe he can investigate it.

For this kind of thing, Bai Guan is not very confident.

"It's not easy to organize people to make trouble, but if Li Luo and Wu Peng can really make a big mess, the whole Chang'an city will be in chaos, because at that time, there will definitely be some lawless people who will take advantage of the fire to loot, even if there is no one, we can still let them go. He has, so it will be more beneficial to us."

Heidu seemed to see Baiguan's worry, so he comforted him in this way, and Baiguan showed a slight smile after hearing this: "You are right, the more chaotic Chang'an city is now, the better for us." Having said that , Bai Guan paused, and then said: "I heard that Liu Wei took Duan Yuerong out of the prison?"

"Yes."

"Is something wrong?"

"Probably not, the willow smell may not be able to be found out."
