Chapter 570: Splashing the Heavens
They are blocking the news. You must know that the rebellion of the generals who hold military power will bring a heavy blow to the Ming Dynasty, let alone an important area like Beizhili.
At that moment, Lu Changfeng and Zhuomai joined forces with a tacit understanding and used their men to completely control the entire government office. Not even a single person, not even a pigeon, could be let out.
The entire government office felt like it was facing a formidable enemy, and everyone stared at Li Yi like a monster.
Lu Changfeng also had a change of heart. He knew that Li Yi must have made weapons privately, but he thought it was just to make money and defend himself and the people. Unexpectedly, he dared to sell them to the army. The nature of it immediately changed.
At this time, Zhuomai was also very upset. He thought he could find a major case, but he didn't expect to find such a ground-breaking case.
In any case, this matter is not trivial, and I am afraid it will be difficult for me to handle it.
Thinking of this, Zhuomai looked at Li Wensheng and Lu Changfeng and said: "The case is unexpected. I would like to ask the two adults to come to the back hall to talk with me."
Li Wensheng and Lu Changfeng pondered for a moment, then nodded.
At this time, only the three of them could handle the matter together.
Seeing them like this, Li Yi shook his head with a smile and said loudly: "Sir, I will answer truthfully. I don't know if I am guilty?"
Are you guilty? You are guilty of a capital crime.
The officials around him were in tears. If they had known earlier, they would not have come to the government office. Now that they heard this news, they might not be able to escape their involvement.
Lu Changfeng looked back at Li Yi and found that there was no trace of fear on his face. Instead, he was calm and composed. He couldn't help but wonder in his heart that there might be a hidden secret.
Of course, the person present who knew Li Yi best was Li Wensheng. To say that others regarded Li Yi as a fool, he had been grumbling in his heart from the beginning. He had seen a lot of Li Yi's methods. It can be said that it was simply
He is just a monster, and it is really impossible to cause big trouble now, unless...
Unless this kid has another plan in mind.
Thinking of this, the panic in Li Wensheng's heart suddenly subsided. He was already sure that Li Yida had some plans, and he couldn't get into his trap.
Li Wensheng and Lu Changfeng both hesitated. This was because of their understanding of Li Yi, but Zhuomai didn't know that his mind was full of evidence of rebellion and self-respect of soldiers. Li Yi's testimony had a huge impact on him.
It's not big.
The three of them entered the back hall. Zhuomai looked around and was relieved when he found that no one else was here. However, he still took a few steps closer and whispered: "Two adults, Li Yi's testimony is really heart-wrenching. Cao Minglei now holds
The camp soldiers also temporarily commanded the local guards in Baoding Prefecture. Once they rebelled, it would undoubtedly be a catastrophe for the Ming Dynasty."
After he finished speaking, he looked at Lu Changfeng and Li Wensheng with searching faces, but found that the two of them were very thoughtful, as if they were trying to think about something.
"Two adults, the matter is urgent. We have to decide how to deal with it early. Not only will the news be leaked, it will be too late." Zhuomai shouted in a low voice, reminding him anxiously.
They were furious, but Lu Changfeng and Li Wensheng felt like they were in a trance.
Li Wensheng was the first to react. He had just thought about it, but he couldn't guess what Li Yi was planning. Now he could only bite the bullet and said: "Such a major matter was brought out by your Excellency's interrogation, and it should be presided over by your Excellency.
Just ask the officer for help."
Lu Changfeng also hesitated for a long time and said in deep thought: "I also believe that this matter is your fault. I will help you to prevent trouble from happening in Baoding Mansion."
Both of them were willing to give up the initiative, and Zhuomai was overjoyed. In this way, he would be fully responsible for the case, and he would also be given top priority. It was really unexpected.
At that moment, Zhuomai held Lu Changfeng's hand and said, "Just now you and I were facing each other tit for tat. We each had our own duties. Now that Mr. Lu understands the righteousness, I am really moved. I will ask Lu Zhenfu to do more in the future."
Being held by a thin old man, Lu Changfeng felt goosebumps all over his body. He quickly pulled his hand back and said with a smile: "As it should be, as it should be."
The great achievement was about to come, but Zhuomai didn't care. He turned to Li Wensheng and said sincerely: "Prefect Li, this case is important. It is a life-and-death crisis for the people of Baoding. Please help me, Senior Li."
Li Wensheng is several years older than Zhuomai, so he can be regarded as Zhuomai's senior in the field of science and technology. However, Zhuomai did not regard Li Wensheng as his senior in the imperial examination.
What a reality.
Of course, it is impossible for seniors to win over the old fox Li Wensheng with this voice. He is actually still speculating on Li Yi's plan.
Looking at Zhuomai's expression, Li Wensheng was more sober than Lu Changfeng, and said calmly: "Master Zhuo was ordered to come to handle the case, and we will naturally provide for him as soon as he needs it."
He only said that he would help with the case, but did not mention the matter of giving up power, which shows the cunningness in it.
Zhuomai cursed the old fox in his heart, but there was nothing he could do.
But now that the situation is very good, Zhuomai is eager to handle the case and said: "In that case, then I will go on record and explain the situation in Baoding Mansion to the court."
Before Lu Changfeng could answer, Li Wensheng said: "I am assisting you in handling the case. As for the circumstances of the case, it is your decision, so there is no need to die. I will write an article myself and submit it to the court for the details."
What this sentence means is that this case has nothing to do with me, so don’t drag me into it.
But in Zhuomai's eyes, this was a lack of cooperation and disobedience. He looked slightly cold and sneered: "Does your Excellency do this to sympathize with Li Yi? Or is it that Mr. Li is also involved in it."
This is a naked threat. If you don't obey, I will kill you to see if you are afraid.
If it were in the past, Li Wensheng would have knelt down and sang "Conquer" fearfully to show his characteristics of being a wallflower, but this time Li Yi's method of driving Zhang Heng away was really a miracle, and he also understood some truth from it, that is, laughter
The one who laughs best is the one who laughs best at the end. It is important to stand in line, but it is even more important to choose a team to stand on.
This time, he decided to side with Li Yi.
Of course, he also left himself a way out, that is, not to get involved.
Li Wensheng's cold reaction made Zhuomai angry in his heart. In his opinion, his glory was about to come, and these officials should join him one after another to perform a drama of wits and tyranny to eradicate traitors. Unexpectedly, Li Wensheng would be the first to not
Cooperate.
Writing this down in his mind, Zhuomai looked at Lu Changfeng.
Lu Changfeng had already seen some clues from Li Wensheng's reaction. Now, Li Yi's reaction was indeed a little fishy, and he couldn't lose his sense of proportion.
He thought for a while and said in a deep voice: "These cases are really shocking. I am the emperor's personal soldier, so I can only follow the emperor's instructions. However, if you want to help, I will do my best within the scope of my responsibilities."
This sentence is high-sounding, but its meaning is obvious. Zhuomai is not stupid, so he naturally understands it.
He snorted coldly and glanced at the two of them.
Since these two people are unwilling to assist me, then why not handle the case on my own? When the time comes, all the credit will be on me, and I will never give a cent to these two people.
Thinking of this, a trace of ferocity flashed across Zhuomai's face. When the time comes, he will impeach these two people with their merits and will definitely send them to the eighteenth level of hell.
If the party is united and opposed, those who are not ours will have different opinions. Officials like these who do not know how to promote should all be sent to Lingnan.
Zhuomai left with a cold expression. Lu Changfeng and Li Wensheng looked at each other and smiled.
On the same day, Zhuomai wrote a document and handed it to Tangbao to submit to the court. Just in case, he asked his personal entourage to rush to the capital with a handwritten letter to pass on the information to his colleagues.
As for whether Li Wensheng and Lu Changfeng explained the situation to the court, he had no time to care.
