Yu Wenhuaji had the detailed account books and lists provided by Li Ping and Li Jie, which not only made this major case simple and trouble-free, but also allowed him to act confidently. Early the next morning, he, Yao Junsu, Zuo Wei and other generals Li Duan assigned tasks to the 20,000 troops and sent them to various counties in Jingzhao County to knock on every residence and villa of the Li family in Longxi one by one. Gardens and manor, and all the children of the Li family were arrested. Other children of aristocratic families who were directly or indirectly involved in the case were also arrested and brought to justice.
Although the officials of all sizes and counties who stayed in Xijing protested angrily and asked the military to give an explanation, the generals had Yang Jiling arrows and warrants and were busy arresting people. They had no time to pay attention to these officials and only focused on In accordance with the tasks assigned by generals such as Yao Junsu and Li Duan, he led the troops "according to the plan" to arrest all suspects and those who dared to resist into the military camp for interrogation.
Qu Tugai, the magistrate of Wannian County, was upright and strict, not afraid of the powerful and powerful, and not interested in selfish interests. He went to negotiate with the military camp and the military in an attempt to get them to stop the search and release the people. Unexpectedly, Yao Jun was loyal to his duties and stubbornly loyal. Since Qu Tutong's eldest son and Qu Tugai's nephew Qu Tushou was also one of the suspects, Yao Junsu not only did not let him go, but took advantage of Qu Tugai's visit. , ordered people to tie him up and throw him into the prisoners.
In just one day, more than 10,000 people were captured and taken into custody in the military camp. Jingzhao County was also disturbed by these soldiers, and everyone was in danger.
As time went by, the military, which had regained its composure, finally asked people to post notices everywhere to explain the cause of the action to the people; and the news that the Li family in Longxi was selling pig iron, weapons and equipment to the Turks spread like wildfire. Soon the news spread throughout Daxing City and Jingzhao County.
When people heard the news and saw that the military was indeed not arresting people randomly, they calmed down and said that the Li family in Longxi was collaborating with the enemy, traitorous, greedy and unfaithful, causing the saint Long Yan to be furious and wanted to kill Li family and others. The nine clans of his party members.
The news that became more and more exaggerated and outrageous spread, bringing with it a chill that a storm was coming, covering the entire Guanzhong sky like a blizzard.
In particular, the case involved many Guanlong clans, which gave it a strong smell of blood; the rebellion caused by the failure of military reform, the "bandit" rebellion a few months ago, and other war shadows, as well as the catastrophe after the rebellion subsided. Cleansing can't help but appear in some people's minds.
For a time, the dignitaries and noble families in Guanzhong watched the changes, silently focusing their eyes on the Li family and the emperor. Some of the aristocratic families and people involved in the case are restless and have trouble sleeping and eating.
In the imperial city of Daxing Palace, Li Changya and more than a hundred civil and military officials gathered together to discuss matters.
The magistrate of Daxing County, Linghu Defen, saw Li Changya drinking tea leisurely and leisurely, and couldn't help but ask, "Li Changshi, did you know about this beforehand?"
"Magistrate Linghu is right!" Li Changya put down the tea cup and said with a bright smile: "Not only did I know about it early, but I was also one of the participants."
Li Changya's post was only to temporarily replace Yang Zhao, who was far away in Luoyang. His original position was the chief historian of Jingzhao Prefecture. He had held this position for several years, so he was very familiar with Jingzhao County. He provided the detailed addresses and personnel of the residences, villas, manors, and shops of many of Li's descendants.
Linghu Defen hesitated for a moment and then asked: "Why didn't Li Changshi report it? If he had reported it, it wouldn't have made people panic and the chickens and dogs restless."
"Why should I say it?" Li Changya glanced at everyone and sneered: "If I had said it, at least 60% of the princes present would have gone to report the news so that the prisoners could escape in advance. Magistrate Linghu and Li Shurang seem to be inseparable. Let me tell you in your conscience, if you had known about it in advance, would you have gone and reported it?"
Linghu Defen almost choked to death on his own saliva.
"Zhang Zhubo!" Li Changya looked at Wannian County Lord Bo Zhangzhi and said calmly: "Guanlong Zhang family and Li family are family friends, and you even married Li Shuqian's daughter. In your conscience, if you had known in advance, Will you go and report the news?"
Zhang Zhi: "..."
"General Wang!" Li Changya looked at Huben Lang General Wang Shibian and asked: "The Wang family in your hegemonic city is also on good terms with the Li family. Your wife is Uncle Li's concubine. In your conscience, if you If you knew it in advance, would you go and report it?"
Wang Shibian: "..."
…
After asking one by one, everyone was speechless. Li Changya finally said in conclusion: "At this point, you can't even make the decision for yourself. Why should I say anything? Why should I believe you?"
Li Changya was so satisfied with the quarrel that he even said to himself: "Both of you are like this, so this time we use the soldiers of the East Palace Ten Command instead of the city patrol army and county government officials. It is really wise and correct! "
Everyone was speechless and embarrassed.
"Li Changshi, what should we do now?" The speaker was Du Zhengxuan, the inspector of the Jingzhao Prefecture. He was a Huanshui branch of the Jingzhao Du family. His ancestors moved to Yecheng during the Later Zhao Dynasty and passed down literature from generation to generation. He, his younger brothers Du Zhengzang and Du Zhenglun were admitted to the scholar examination together in the first year of Renshou, which became a famous story.
At that time, Yang Su was responsible for testing his strategies and deliberately making things difficult for him, but Du Zhengxuan was calm, responsive, and wrote well. Yang Su sighed and said, "I am not as good as this true scholar." When Yang Jian saw that he was talented and learned, he granted him the title of military officer in the Jin Dynasty. position.
Yang Zhao has now become the prince of the Sui Dynasty and stayed in Xijing. Yang Guang is also willing to help his son train his team, so last year he named Du Zhengxuan as the inspector of the Jingzhao Prefecture.
However, the Du brothers were famous all over the world and achieved great success. However, when the brothers took their family trees to the Du family in Jingzhao and planned to recognize their ancestors and return to the clan, they were sarcastically rejected by the Du family in Jingzhao because they had been away for too long.
Hearing this, Li Changya said very irresponsibly: "The military has captured those who should be captured. They will screen them one by one. As long as they are not guilty and have nothing to do with the Li family in Longxi, they will release them one by one. Everyone can use There’s no rush.”
Linghu Defen thought for a while, then raised his hand and said: "Li Changshi, the military has arrested too many people, and there are also many women dependents. If soldiers do violence to kind and innocent people... that's not right. Easy to explain."
Faced with this problem, Li Changya didn't hold back anymore. He looked at Linghu Defen, thinking that there was no need to hide the matter now, so he said: "This case was handled by King Wei according to the holy order. Yao Junsu Li Duan and other generals are all upright people, who dares to act recklessly? You guys, just be at ease!"
"As for where King Wei's people are, don't ask; if you ask, I won't tell you."
When they heard that it was Yang Ji who was in charge, everyone stopped talking.
To be honest, although some people don't like Yang Ji very much, they all know Yang Ji's prestige in the military. At the same time, I also believe in the power of Yang Ji to intimidate the military officers. Since it was Yang Ji who handled the matter, the soldiers would definitely not dare to mess around.
As for those who had children involved in the case, they all complained bitterly when they heard that Yang Ji, the god of murder, was handling the case.
