Tang Dynasty detective

Chapter 682

"If you're not in the position, you don't plan for it. Since I'm in this position, I should solve some problems for the people. Isn't it the same when Di Gong was in Dali Temple?"

Thinking of this, Li Canghai turned to Zhou Feiyan and said, "Lord Zhou, please put up a notice saying that from today until the end of the new year, I will sit in court to try cases, and anyone who has wronged can come to seek justice. This officer will solve them one by one.”

Zhou Feiyan was slightly taken aback, and said: "My lord, there are a lot of people in Chang'an City, and everyone has some grievances to some extent. If your lord speaks out, the trial may not be finished in a year or so!"

"Well, according to Master Zhou, what should we do?" Li Canghai felt that what Zhou Feiyan said was not unreasonable, so he asked.

Zhou Feiyan thought for a while and said, "If my lord trusts the lower officials, I can let the lower officials sort out the cases they receive. For ordinary cases, the lower officials will handle them by themselves, and the difficult cases will be handed over to my lord. I wonder what your lord will do? "

Li Canghai thought about it for a while, and felt that Zhou Feiyan's suggestion was not bad. Although he was the Minister of Dali Temple, he shouldered the important task of finding the elixir for the emperor.

It is impossible for the emperor to allow him to stay in Chang'an for too long. It would indeed take a lot of time for him to handle all the large and small cases.

What's more, the matter between 'Ni Lin Xuan Wu' and Yang Guozhong has not yet been resolved, and it is impossible for him to put all his energy on solving trivial matters for the people.

"Since that's the case, Master Zhou will have to work hard." Li Canghai nodded.

"How dare you, how dare you. It's an honor to serve your lord. If your lord has no other orders, I'll go and post the notice." Zhou Feiyan said respectfully.

Li Canghai nodded, and Zhou Feiyan immediately left the courtroom.

Back in the back hall, Li Canghai quickly fell into deep thought again.

Seeing that the end of the year was approaching, there was no trace of joy in his heart.

The matter of Yang Guozhong, the matter of Nilin Xuanwu, and the elixir of life, all these things are extremely troublesome.

Yang Guozhong is treacherous, and he will eradicate anyone who is unfavorable to him, so as to avoid future troubles.

Li Canghai naturally became his number one target.

However, he was aware of Yang Guozhong's fate, so he was not too anxious to deal with Yang Guozhong.

For him, the 'Ni Lin Xuan Wu' hidden in the darkness is the most important thing!
Since the Luoyang incident, 'Nilin Xuanwu' has disappeared from the world.

Although the imperial court wiped out many of them, the most important eight trigram masters have not been caught yet, and there is no trace of their whereabouts revealed. No one knows what they will be planning in secret.

In addition, it is the elixir of life.

If his guess is correct, Li Longji should have sent him to search for the elixir of life after the end of the year.

Leaving aside whether the elixir of life can be found, no one knows if it even exists.

If he really found the legendary elixir of life, many forces would go to seize it, and it might be another bloodbath.

"Forget it, let's take one step at a time! It's useless to think so much now. However, I must find out the whereabouts of Xuan'er's uncle grandson. I'm afraid I will have to start with Yang Guozhong." Li Canghai said to himself. Soliloquy.

After the notice of Dali Temple was posted, many people really stopped to watch.

"What is written on it? Is there anyone who can read it and read it for us?" As soon as the notice was posted, it immediately attracted many people to watch.

"Starting today, Dali Temple will be open for seven consecutive days. Anyone who has a grievance can go to the lawsuit." Among the crowd, some literate people read aloud.

"Really? The Dali Temple has opened?"

"Don't you know yet? Today's Dali Temple Minister is the 'God Judgment' Li Canghai, Mr. Li! This morning, Mr. Li just tried an adultery and money-seeking case. It was a wonderful one! Even the murder cases in the past three years They were all caught!"

"In that case, Mr. Li is quite capable! It just so happens that my brother was framed as a robber and is seeing nowhere to go. Why don't we go to Dali Temple to try our luck!"

"Go, go, go. We'll go with you!"

……

What everyone in Dali Temple didn't expect was that within half a day after the notice was posted, dozens of people's complaints had been received.

Everyone in Dali Temple immediately got busy and began to sift through the cases.

There are dozens of cases, ranging from homicide cases to small property dispute cases, and there are all kinds of cases.

All the officials of Dali Temple were busy from sunset to dark, before sorting out all the cases.

In the main hall of Dali Temple, Li Canghai buried himself in the case notes sent in advance.

"My lord, this is a new batch of important cases." Zhou Feiyan put a stack of case notes on the table, cupped his hands at Li Canghai and said, "My lord, since the notice was posted, more than a hundred people have come to submit their case notes." , most of them are property disputes, and there are more than [-] murder cases, all of which have been submitted to the adults."

Li Canghai stared at the case in his hand intently, without raising his head, he said: "Thank you, my lords, just put the case here, my lords, please go back!"

Zhou Feiyan was taken aback for a moment, and said in surprise, "My lord, aren't you going back home to rest?"

"These case notes are related to the common people. I should finish reading them as soon as possible. The sooner the case is solved, the sooner the common people can feel at ease." Li Canghai said with his head bowed.

"It's really admirable for an adult to serve the country and the people. It's just that an adult should take care of his body!" Zhou Feiyan said with admiration.

"It's okay." Li Canghai spit out two words cleanly, and then threw himself into the case again.

Zhou Feiyan hesitated for a moment, then ordered someone to prepare some supper for Li Canghai, and told the guards to protect Li Canghai before leaving Dali Temple.

The next day, Zhou Feiyan arrived at Dali Temple early in the morning.

As far as he could see, Li Canghai was sleeping at his desk, and on the desk were neatly placed the case papers he presented the night before.

Zhou Feiyan couldn't bear it, hesitating whether to wake him up and let him go to the back hall to have a good rest.

But at this moment, Li Canghai opened his eyes.

"Master Zhou came so early!" Li Canghai rubbed his eyes and yawned.

"My lord, you haven't slept all night, you should go to the back hall to rest!" Zhou Feiyan said respectfully.

"What time is it now?" Li Canghai asked, yawning.

"Back to my lord, it's already three quarters of Yin time. My lord, don't you really need to go to rest?"

"Well, at three o'clock in the Yin hour, the sun is rising in the east, and the people must have gone out. Prepare to be promoted, and I want to solve all yesterday's cases!" Li Canghai stretched his muscles and said.

"My lord, have you read all the case notes?" Zhou Feiyan asked in disbelief.

Li Canghai nodded, and said, "This case is not too much for me. Mr. Zhou should call the people to come as soon as possible!"

Seeing Li Canghai's insistence, Zhou Feiyan didn't say any more. After bowing deeply to Li Canghai, he went to post the notice.
