Chapter 197 Bloody Case (2)
After Li Cheng's persuasion, Ge Yanyu immediately went to the Kaifeng Prefecture Office to sue Li Yu for rebellion. Hou Yi, the then prefect of Kaifeng Prefecture, sneered, but then he received a reply from Su Fengji. After a secret conversation with Su Fengji's envoy, Hou Yi accepted Ge Yanyu's complaint and sent a yamen runner to detain Li Yu.
Poor Li Yu was thrown into prison before he could recover from the gentle village. Although Li Yu had suffered, how could he survive the torture in Kaifeng Prefecture? One torture instrument, two torture instruments... After eighteen torture instruments, Li Yu had been beaten into a pool of mud. Now the prison guards say whatever he asked him to say, and no longer had the toughness of the past.
When Li Song learned that his younger brother was in prison, he rushed to ask for advice, but after he returned to the court, he did not show his official position. In addition, Su Fengji quietly greeted him, but no one came forward for him. Li Song was so depressed that he became seriously ill and could only recuperate at home.
At this time, his distant nephew Li Fang heard the news and hurried to visit him. When Li Song saw his nephew who was the secretary, he burst into tears and asked earnestly: "Do Fang'er have a way? What are the updates and resolutions of the court recently?"
Li Fang sighed: "Uncle cousin met someone wrong. Although Tao Gu received your promotion, he did not want to repay you. Instead, he often slandered you in crowded places. It is really hateful!"
When Li Song heard this, he was so angry that he vomited a mouthful of blood and said angrily: "Know people and their faces but not their hearts! Tao Gu was just a judge in a small state in the past. I promoted him to Jixian School because of his outstanding literary talent. In a few years, he has risen to the top. Now, after the establishment of the Han Dynasty, he is even more in a high position. Where have I failed him? He actually repaid his grudges with such kindness!"
After Li Fang left, Li Song thought about it and didn't understand that Su Fengji was against him, so he ordered someone to carry him to Su Fengji's mansion and ask Su Fengji for help.
When Su Fengji saw Li Song's greetings, he couldn't help laughing. No wonder this fool has never been promoted. It seems that he is so unreasonable! After laughing, Su Fengji ordered someone to welcome Li Song in, pretending to be anxious for him, and said quickly: "Brother Li, something is not good!" Then Su Fengji squeezed out a few tears on his face and stopped talking.
Li Song was very anxious, "What's wrong, Brother Su? You're talking!"
Su Fengji whetted Li Song's appetite and then said, "I just received the news that your younger brother Li Yu was sued by Ge Yanyu. Today, Li Yu has admitted all the crimes of rebellion. Even if I find someone to explain it clearly, I can do nothing!"
"What?" Li Song staggered and almost fell to the ground. He held the last glimmer of hope and asked, "What have my brother confessed? Can you tell me?"
Su Fengji was very satisfied with his current attitude, so he said with a tense face: "I will send someone to Kaifeng Prefecture to find out the news today. Your brother said that he, your third brother, as well as your nephew Wang Ning and others, and more than 20 people, had planned to riot on the day when the late emperor was buried and set fire to the capital. Later, because the martial law of Kaifeng Prefecture was effective, he did not dare to launch it. Your brother also confessed that you had sent a secret envoy to Hezhong Prefecture with Wax Pills, intending to Li Shouzhen; he also said that you would not forget the grace of the Liao Kingdom and sent someone to collude with the Liao Kingdom..."
"Stop talking, stop talking..." Li Song, who was in a state of dismay, fell to the ground on the spot. He finally understood that it was not someone who was thinking about his poor property, but that everyone was taking his life together! Maybe among these people, Su Fengji! The consequence of the rebellion was tribulation. Li Song sighed and said to Su Fengji: "Sir, I have a young daughter, who is smart and outstanding. The criminal is willing to give it to the adults, not asking her how glorious she will be in the future, but only asking her to let her survive..."
After saying that, Li Song thanked Su Fengji. Even if his daughter was defiled by Su Fengji or was rewarded by him, it would be much better than being sent to the imperial prison and buying it as a prostitute.
Su Fengji did not expect Li Song to do this, and he almost agreed happily. Who would have thought that the hero of the past would end up like this? Who would have thought that the errand runner (Su Fengji) would have become the prime minister of the empire? However, Su Fengji immediately made up his mind that although he successfully accused Li Song, no one was a fool and would definitely sympathize with this young daughter. Anyway, Shi Hongzhao was not in harmony with him, so it would be better to give her to Shi Hongzhao, which would also tarnish Shi Hongzhao's reputation!
Seeing Su Fengji nodding in response, Li Song staggered and said goodbye. At this time, his servants had already received the news and ran away cleanly. No one else was waiting for the house except the lonely carriage!
Li Song sighed to Kong: "How can there be no immortal in the world? If this continues, how can there be no undead country?!" He then surrendered to prison and confessed to those crimes, just asking for death quickly!
Su Fengji quickly received the confession of Li Yu and Li Song submitted by Hou Yi. He felt that the riot of twenty people was not enough to convince people, so he picked up a pen to change the "twenty people" to "fifty people"!
Three days later, Liu Chengyou issued an edict to kill Li Song's brothers and others. As well as everyone mentioned in the confession, they were all corpses on the street and were burned after two days of display. At the same time, Ge Yanyu, who was given the head, praised Su Fengji, and Hou Yi, who promptly investigated and dealt with the rebellious group!
When the news came out, Zhang Yi and others were very surprised and no longer had any illusions about the court. Everyone compared the mean and polite Han Dynasty, and Dong Zunhui, who treated others with kindness, did not dare to say too much, but he also strengthened his idea of serving under his command.
At this time, Tao Gu, who accepted the "Seat Battle Post", summoned Dong Zunhui excitedly and said to him: "Daoan, you are also a sensible person. Now the deep water in the capital is not something you can do. Especially you have offended Zhao Kuangyin and his son. Even if I make a hard arrangement, you will not have any good future in the capital. It is better to find a lack of external problems. Now there are four places where there are dispatches, namely Yedu, Jingzhao Prefecture, Hezhong Prefecture, and Fengxiang Prefecture. However, with your current official position, it is difficult to assign a good job. Even if you are assigned to these places, they are subordinates who are dealt with at will. I heard that you have a good relationship with Lord Guo. Anyway, he is about to return to Beijing, so you might as well walk through his way and get a guerrilla general. As long as you get the official position of this guerrilla general, I will arrange a good job for you!"
Dong Zunhui thanked him repeatedly. As Tao Gu said, this capital is really a difficult place to establish a foothold. Good officials from the previous dynasty can actually be involved in the case of treason. A sixth-rank official like him is a small stone in the capital. If Zhao Hongyin and Zhao Kuangyin brought him to their tent, he would be dealt with for "violating military laws" in a few days, and he would go out to take office! Anyway, Lord Guo is about to return to Beijing, so he doesn't have to take up the position for too long.
Dong Zunhui made up his mind and thanked him repeatedly. Seeing that Dong Zunhui was very accomplicated, Tao Gu smiled with satisfaction and said to himself: Since you gave this "Seat Battle Sticker", I will reject the transfer order just sent by Zhao Kuangyin. Anyway, that kid has a high opinion of himself and doesn't even give me a gift. He deserves you to be suppressed by Dong Zunhui!
