Chapter 344 Dangerous situation
The next day, Li Dahe came to the yamen of the Ministry of Punishment in Pingnan County, accompanied by the county magistrate and officials from the Ministry of Punishment, and began his promotion.

"Take someone to commit Han Ji!" Li Dahe slapped the gavel and said loudly.

Hearing this, the yamen servant dragged the dying Han Ji who had been beaten up to death.

Seeing this, Li Dahe frowned slightly, "What's going on with the prisoner, why did he suffer such serious injuries."

Zhao Nanfeng, an official of the Pingnan County Criminal Department, quickly said: "Return to the imperial envoy, this prisoner refuses to plead guilty, so he can only use some means. This is the practice of the Criminal Department."

Li Dahe glanced at Zhao Nanfeng and said, "The convention? When did the convention come? When I am revising the law in the capital, why haven't I heard of this convention?"

"This..." Zhao Nanfeng was tongue-tied and subconsciously glanced at Wei Tu.

Li Dahe snorted coldly and said, "Mr. Li, check to see if the prisoner is still conscious."

"Yes!" Li cupped the boss and went to Han Ji who was lying on the ground to check.

"Back to the imperial envoy, the prisoner is seriously injured and has passed out."

"Take the prisoner down for treatment. Don't let him die. Mr. Li Ba, this prisoner will be protected by you."

After Li Dahe finished speaking, Wei Tu on the side couldn't sit still, he got up and said: "Imperial envoy, how can mere criminals use His Majesty's imperial guards, just leave it to me to send some yamen servants."

"No need, this is a crime to be committed, and no mistakes can be made." Li Dahe said expressionlessly.

Wei Tu's expression changed when he heard this, and he sat back down again.

"The prisoner is unconscious. He will withdraw from the courtroom today and try again at another day." Li Dahe was about to leave here after speaking.

Seeing this, Wei Tu quickly winked at the other officials.

"Employee Li Qin took a step to speak." Zhao Nanfeng said with a smile.

"What's the matter with Zhao Tixing?" Li Dahe asked.

"It's inconvenient to talk here, please come to the Hou Yamen to talk with the imperial envoy." Zhao Nanfeng said with a gesture of invitation.

Li Dahe nodded, and said to Mr. Li Ba: "Mr. Li Ba, you take the person down and settle down first."

"Yes!"

President Li Ba saluted and ordered people to carry Han Ji out.

When he came to Houya, Li Dahe said: "Wei County Magistrate, Zhao Tixing, I don't know what you two want to discuss with this official."

"Commissioner Li Qin, don't worry, just look at this." Wei Tu winked at Zhao Nanfeng as he spoke.

Zhao Nanfeng understood, smiled and lifted the white cloth in front of him, revealing two large boxes of golden copper coins inside, the number of which was about a thousand.

"Miss Li Qin, this little money is my wish, please don't dislike it." Wei Tu smiled.

Li Dahe squinted at the pile of copper coins in front of him, walked over to grab a handful of them, heard the crisp sound of the copper coins falling, raised the corners of his mouth, and said, "You two are really good at writing, so much money is really amazing for Li Dahe. An eye-opener."

"Miss Li Qin laughed." Wei Tu said with a smile.

"Heh! So Li would like to thank you two for your kindness." Li Dahe said with a smile.

Seeing this, the two of them breathed a sigh of relief, as long as Li Dahe accepts the money, then the next thing will be easy. Living in Xia Country, everyone knows the benefits of money.

"Is there anything else you two need?" Li Dahe said with a smile.

"No, we won't bother the imperial envoy now. I'll send someone to deliver the money to your residence." Wei Tu laughed.

Li Dahe nodded, and exchanged a few words with the two of them, the three of them looked like they hated seeing each other late.

When he left the office of the Ministry of Criminal Justice, Li Dahe's smile disappeared immediately, and his eyes became cold.

"Brother Wei, do you think our imperial envoy can wait with me?" Zhao Nanfeng asked worriedly.

Wei Tu sneered and said: "As long as you give enough money, I don't believe there is no mouth that can't be opened. Hmph, so what can the imperial envoy do? In the end, it's not at our mercy. This is Pingnan City, and it's our territory. If this guy doesn't Don't blame me, Wei Tu, for being cruel."

Zhao Nanfeng was so frightened that he broke out in a cold sweat when he heard the words, and quickly said, "Brother Wei, be careful what you say. If someone overhears you, you will lose your head."

Wei Tu nodded, turned and left with a gloomy face.

Not long after Li Dahe returned, several yamen servants brought the two boxes over.

Li Dahe put his subordinates in the house without changing his expression.

He called the guard Li Bazong to inquire about Han Ji's situation, and when he learned that a doctor had been called, he asked him to take care of him.

Judging from the reactions of the officials in Pingnan County, Han Ji's case was definitely not that simple, and the Pingnan County Magistrate must have been involved.

After a few days of calm, the guards who were inquiring about the news among the people came back to report.

"Imperial envoy, Han Ji's situation has been investigated clearly."

"Tell me in detail!"

The guard nodded, and explained the information he had obtained in detail.

This Han Ji is indeed a native of Pingnan City. He migrated from the northern jungle three years ago. He is one of the first residents of Pingnan City. He lives in the city and makes a living by selling straw mats and carrying baskets on weekdays. Huo, the family's wife, Han Shi, married Han Ji two years ago, and the two had a son. After his wife died, his son also disappeared.

"Have you heard about Han Ji's daily character?" Li Dahe asked.

"Going back to the imperial envoy, I found out clearly that this Han Ji is usually an honest person, not a troublemaker. His wife is good-looking, and many people are envious of him, but I heard people say that the Han family is not honest. By the way, someone has seen him have an abnormal relationship with other men." The guard said slowly.

Li Dahe nodded and said, "What about Wei County Magistrate?"

"The Pingnan county magistrate has basically done nothing since he took office, but it seems that he has accepted and given bribes, and he can't find anything useful from ordinary people."

"Thank you for your hard work, here is some money, you can use it to eat wine and meat."

As he said that, he took out some money from his pocket and handed it to several guards.

The guard took the copper coin and thanked Li Dahe repeatedly.

At the same time, Wei Tu and Zhao Nanfeng in the Pingnan County Government were talking in a low voice.

"Brother Wei, this man surnamed Li didn't know how to stop after taking the money. My people found out that those guards were secretly inquiring about the news, and they were all related to Han Ji. I said you shouldn't touch him." That stinky woman, it's okay this time, not only you have something to do, even I might get involved." Zhao Nanfeng said in a panic.

Wei Tu said coldly with a gloomy face: "Why panic, the fate of the two of us is the same now, don't think about it when I have something to do, don't think that I am the only one who has touched that woman, and that thing under you is not clean."

"What nonsense are you talking about?" Zhao Nanfeng said in panic after hearing that his expression changed drastically.

"Hehe, nonsense? Are you talking nonsense? You know it in your heart." Wei Tu sneered.

Looking at Wei Tu's dark eyes, Zhao Nanfeng couldn't help feeling a little apprehensive. He sat down on the chair and said, "Then what do you think we should do now?"

Wei Tu thought for a while, and said: "You and I will go check on this Li surname later. We can't hide our affairs if we want to hide it. It is estimated that we will be found out soon. If he is willing to let us go, he will spend some money. It's not a problem, if you don't want to, then we will..."

As he spoke, he made a gesture of cutting his throat.

Zhao Nanfeng nodded sullenly.

"The imperial envoy, Wei Tu, the magistrate of Pingnan County, asked the criminal officer Zhao Nanfeng to see him." The guard reported.

The corners of Li Dahe's mouth twitched and he said, "Are you losing your temper?"

"Please come in!"

"Yes!"

After Zhao and Wei came in, seeing Li Dahe, they immediately smiled and said: "The lower official has seen the imperial envoy Shangguan."

"Two, please sit down!"

"Thank you, envoy!"

"I don't know why you two are looking for me?"

Wei Tu looked left and right at the several guards standing beside Li Dahe, and said, "This..."

Li Dahe understood and asked these people to retreat.

Seeing the guard retreat, Wei Tu smiled and said, "I don't know if the imperial envoy is satisfied with the gift."

"Naturally satisfied."

"I don't know how the imperial envoy is doing with Han Ji's case." Wei Tu asked tentatively.

Li Dahe looked at the two of them with a smile, and said slowly: "There is some progress. After Han Ji wakes up, check with his statement. I believe this case will be clear."

When Wei and Zhao heard this, their expressions changed and they winked at each other.

Li Dahe looked at the two with a half-smile, and said, "Why, are the two of you also involved in this case?"

"Imperial envoy, you can't blame me for this matter. It was the Han family who seduced us, and we did such a ridiculous thing. Let us go this time because we all serve the court." Wei Tu said slowly Slow down.

Li Dahe stroked his chin and said, "What's the specific situation, let's hear it."

Wei Tu sighed and said: "That was not long after I took office, I wanted to do something big, I was visiting the street, that Han family was selling straw mats on the street with Han Ji, I don't know how that woman recognized me, Not long after I arrived at the county government office, I heard from the yamen servant that someone asked to see me. I thought it was because the people in the city had something important to ask me to see, but I didn’t expect that woman to use this name to seduce me and leave home for a long time. It should be understood how a beautiful woman can bear it if she sacrifices herself like this, the officials didn't know she was married at the beginning, otherwise they wouldn't be able to do such things."

"What happened later?" Li Dahe asked in a deep voice.

"After I slept with that woman, I found out that she has a husband, but the woman said that Han Ji always beat her. I felt pity, and believed her words, and planned to give some money to Han Ji to divorce her. I would like to marry her back and be my concubine, but after Han Ji heard about it, instead of divorcing his wife, he wanted to go to the Yamen to sue me. You also know that the punishment for adultery in the Xia Kingdom is extremely severe, so I will Discuss with Zhao Tixing, kill the Han family, and put the crime on Han Ji's head." Wei Tu is also willing to go all out at this moment, and explained the matter in detail.

After Li Dahe listened calmly, he sneered, slapped the table heavily and shouted: "Bold Wei Tu, Zhao Nanfeng, Your Majesty asked you to wait for Mushou, but you did such a bad thing, how can you treat Your Majesty?" , Now you still want me to let you go, do you think I, Li, is someone who is waiting with you?"

The faces of the two of them changed immediately when they heard the words.

"Miss Li Qin, I have no choice but to do such a thing. As long as you let us go this time, you can tell us how much money you want. We still have some family wealth. It's just a Han Ji. How can his life and death be compared with Wan Guan's wealth?" Bi, I ask Li Qin to think about it carefully." Wei Tu said coldly.

Li Dahe sneered when he heard the words: "Oh, ten thousand guan money, your annual salary is only three hundred guan, and you have only been an official for more than two years. How can you have so much money? This money is the hard-earned money of the people of the country. According to the laws of Daxia According to the law, he should be executed according to the law, and the superior should be dismissed according to the law if he is bribed, and he will never be hired."

The two saw that Li Dahe didn't want to let him go at all, Wei Tu gritted his teeth and said: "The surname Li, this is Pingnan City, not the capital, wants to kill me, see if I can get out alive, as long as you Don't pursue this matter, you can choose the money woman at will, whether it is dead or alive, you choose one yourself."

"Hmph, I, Li Dahe, was trained by Daxia. Now that I am an official, I should serve Daxia. How can I be the same as you and other worms."

After finishing speaking, he roared: "Come here, take down the two bold rebellious ministers."

As soon as the words fell, the guards guarding outside came in as pupae and surrounded the two of them.

Looking at this group of guards who looked like wolves and tigers, Wei Tu's face was gloomy, "My surname is Li, since you want to die, I will help you," he said, quickly took out the fire folder, and quickly lit it, only to hear " Whoosh!" With a sound, a flame rushed into the sky, making a crisp sound.

Immediately, shouts of killing came from the gate of the courtyard, and the gate was smashed down. Dozens of criminals with steel knives smashed through the gate and came in.

Seeing this, Li Bazong was shocked and shouted: "Protect the imperial envoy."

"Don't worry about me, take these two down." Li Dahe roared.

"Imperial envoy, the thieves are powerful, let's break through first!" Li Bazong said hastily.

Li Dahe snorted coldly and said: "As His Majesty's personal guards, how can you be so courageous, today I will capture these two thieves for Your Majesty."

After finishing speaking, he pulled out the saber from his waist and killed Wei and Zhao.

Xia Guo's civil servants also came from the barbaric era, and their physical fitness was far from that of weak scholars. Seeing Li Dahe killing him, he kicked the table over to block Li Dahe's attacking route.

Taking advantage of this opportunity, the two rushed out the door and hid behind the group of swordsmen.

"Kill them all without leaving any of them, and each one will be rewarded with a hundred guan after the matter is completed." Wei Tu roared.

Under the heavy reward, this group of sabers and axemen, even though they knew that the opponent was a high-ranking official of the imperial court, brazenly swung their knives to kill the general.

Seeing this, Li Bazong shouted: "Brothers follow me to kill thieves and protect the imperial envoys."

This group of carefully selected imperial guards are all outstanding and brave men in the army. Even though the number of enemies is several times higher than their own, they are inseparable from the enemy by virtue of their skillful cooperation and personal bravery. .

At this moment, Li Dahe also gave up his stance as a civil servant, brandishing his sword and fighting the enemy together with the guards.

Not long after, corpses were strewn across the field in this small courtyard, and blood flowed like rivers.

When Wei and Zhao saw that their side was about to retreat, they were very anxious.

"What should we do?" Zhao Nanfeng said in panic.

Wei Tu's face was gloomy, and he stepped back slowly. Caught off guard by Zhao Nanfeng, he kicked Zhao Nanfeng in the waist and fled through the door.
