Chapter 530 Long time no see
The proofreader Cen Wenzhao destroyed his own case and spread throughout Chang'an City within a few days. Such a major case occurred during the Chinese New Year, which aroused the gossip of the people. Then different versions of Cen Wenzhao's murder case were spread in the market.
For such a scum who was extremely evil and inhumane, after the report of the Secretariat, the emperor immediately approved the confiscation of his property and was executed on a date. It is worth mentioning that Cen Wenben, who is the Secretariat, was very secretive about his own brother's murder. He had not come out to see anyone for several days, but was just looking for a family to take care of his mother who was in a hurry to take care of her.
Li Chengqian has heard that fish has only seven seconds of memory, and in seven seconds, he will forget what just happened. In fact, from another perspective, isn’t it the same for humans? Just after former Prime Minister Xiao Yu was escorted to Beijing for a weathering case, the people of Chang'an City focused their attention and attention on him. The old man who was almost seventy years old still did this. This is really a tumbler of gold spear!
The reason why the news spread so quickly is that Xiao Yu was not kind when he was an official and made things difficult for others. Now he is in trouble and he is trying to ruin him if he doesn't come out. Of course, this has something to do with the people's hobbies. After all, it is better to be involved in the matter between men and women than bloody murders!
Now if you walk on the streets of Chang'an City, if someone gathers to have fun, nine out of ten must be discussing the story of "The Seventy-Elderless Man's Beautiful Girl". Xiao Yu, the former prime minister, has become a hot figure in the capital.
Some officials even asked Xiao Rui indirectly what secret recipes do their family have that can make people so old and powerful. For the sake of their colleagues, they also give it a little bit. As soon as this person gets older, he will inevitably be powerless!
As for Princess Xiangcheng, let alone. Many noble ladies watched her, either hide or ask about her father-in-law’s embarrassing things. She could only be called sick and closed. She also ordered the servants in the mansion to have a door-guarding person and not let outsiders watch Xiao’s mansion jokes...
In the cell of Dali Temple, Xiao Yu closed his eyes while lying on a chair, and there was a lit incense burner next to it. All the daily necessities in the cell were provided. These were sent by the princess Xiangcheng, for fear that her father-in-law would not be able to suffer the crime when she was old.
It can be said without hesitation that this is the most decent one among the cells of Dali Temple. No, the prison in the entire Tang Dynasty should be the most luxurious one. Dai Zhou, the minister of Dali Temple, enforced the law like a mountain, but he is not a fool. The emperor had a deep personal relationship with Xiao Yu. He used to be so big in the court, so he still didn't do anything to him.
As long as there is no rebellion involved, let alone stealing a little widow, even if he grabs ten or eight, he will still be in-laws. He should eat and drink. Maybe the case is over, and he can even get back to the palace to meet the emperor. Isn’t Princess Xi just a ready-made example there? Why should he be the evil man when he wears Zhou?
"Crown Prince, it's not the time for the interrogation mentioned by the imperial edict. Are you a little too early? I'm not prepared at all? You are here to consider the efficiency of Dali Temple." Dai Zhou smiled and welcomed Li Chengqian in. He was an old minister from the Qin Palace. It's normal for informal occasions to be polite.
After taking the cloak, Li Chengqian took Dai Zhou and presented the tea. After taking a sip, he smiled and said, "Dai Qing, don't come with Gu. Who can be more experienced than the criminal officials of our Tang Dynasty? What are you preparing? Is this the first time Gu is here to investigate a case? Tell me, is that stubborn old man Xiao Yu causing some trouble again?"
Hahaha..., "Crown Prince, you are wise. Oh, I am not easy to be a minister of Dali Temple. There were many Xiao Yu's disciples in the two days who came to visit him because the case was personally inquired by His Majesty, so I blocked them one by one. There are many censors among them. You see?"
Dai Zhou means that Li Chengqian understands that Xiao Yu was the leader of the censors before. Many of their disciples worked in Beijing at the Censorate. Dali Temple is the yamen in charge of criminal names. There are too many stumbling things. If the censors who are not afraid of beheading their heads are targeted, what else can he do about this job? The impeachment memorial will drown him even if it is drowned.
"Okay, Gu understands. If you are in trouble, Gu will report to His Majesty. He will also say hello to Ma Zhou and ask him to persuade those who want to find you. Let's go, Gu will meet that stubborn old man Xiao Yu. He can still cause debts when he is so old. He will never live in vain in his life."
Speaking of Xiao Yu's weathering case, Dai Zhou, who had been a prisoner for more than 20 years, kept shaking his head. While leading the way, he was telling Li Chengqian what he heard. Not to mention Xiao Yu's evil, he was about to be imminent and would be in danger in his later years!
A moment later, when Li Chengqian and Dai Zhou walked to Xiao Yu's cell, the old man was already asleep and snoring was quite loud. Seeing that he could still sleep so well, Li Chengqian smiled on his face. This is the demeanor that the prime minister should have!
After sending Dai Zhou, Li Chengqian asked Henglian to set up the wine and dishes, then sat down by himself, while savoring the wine, while admiring Xiao Yu's "ecstasy" sleeping position. Perhaps the wine was too fragrant and mellow, and Xiao Yu sat up, rubbed his eyes and sat up. Seeing Li Chengqian smiling at him at the table at the table, he was shocked.
"The old minister Xiao Yu met His Highness, and His Highness will be blessed with all his blessings."
"Long time no see, Mr. Xiao, sit down. Gu and you are so familiar with you. Why are you so polite?!"
After thanking her, Li Chengqian and Xiao Yu were like an old friend who had not seen each other for a long time, talking about the interesting things that happened in Chang'an and Lanling in the past few years. Those who don't know their relationship will definitely think that Xiao Yu is the assistant minister of the Eastern Palace.
After thirty years of wine and five flavors, Xiao Yu bowed and thanked: "Your Highness, the old minister has done a lot of things to do to you in the past. Today is in trouble. You can visit him without grudges. I am grateful to you!" After saying that, the king and his minister met and smiled, and then raised the wine glass in their hands together to dry up the wine in the glass.
"You are polite, Mr. Xiao, you were just doing your duty as your ministers and doing your own lords. Now that you have retired and released you into the mountains, the fame, wealth, and intrigue in the world have nothing to do with you.
Sometimes, Gu really envies you. You can be free in the world, unlike Gu who will be tied up here for the rest of his life. Well, after drinking enough wine and replacing the old, Gu will return to the palace."
