When Liu Xingzhou saw Li Qinzai, he was not asking for mercy or asking about the case. He was actually here to negotiate.
There were many doubts about the case, but what was desperate was that Liu Shanwang was immediately taken to jail after the incident, and the witnesses and evidence were blocked. All channels for Liu Xingzhou to obtain information were cut off by Li Qinzai.
Under this situation, even if Liu Xingzhou complained, he could not tell the truth, so he could only come to negotiate with Li Qinzai.
He knew that there was something fishy, but he couldn't produce any evidence to refute it. Quanzi was indeed present when the crime occurred, and there were many witnesses. Now that Quanzi was being questioned, Liu Xingzhou couldn't see him. He was worried and secretly doubted that the evil beast should be killed. You didn't really do anything, did you?
After all, I know Quanzi's character on weekdays, but there was an important factor in yesterday's case, and that was Liu Shanwang's drinking.
No matter how good a person is, no one can be sure what he will do when he is drunk, not even the drunk himself. Some people even suggest that drunk people will beat themselves up. How can we use normal logic to do this? reasoning?
In the flower hall of the side courtyard, Li Qinzai was sitting on a chair.
The novel furniture in the room was designed by Li Qinzai. He was really impatient with the kneeling posture of the ancients, and his legs became numb after sitting upright for a while, so he built the tables and chairs he was used to in his previous life.
Liu Xingzhou felt quite uncomfortable sitting on the chair. He could not maintain a kneeling posture. He always felt that his buttocks were hanging in the air and he felt uneasy.
Li Qinzai placed his legs flat and sat upright, trying not to cross his legs. This is unsightly and unhealthy, and will have a great impact on future generations.
For example, the sitting position with legs flat is like this: o|o
This is how your legs are crossed:%
The ones with extraordinary talents are like this:‰
Well, you should also take good care of the things in the bag. Men are also very fragile sometimes.
After just a few words of conversation, the conversation actually broke down. Liu Xingzhou was a person who was good at observing facial expressions. Li Qinzai scolded him for a few words, and Liu Xingzhou realized that Li Qinzai seemed to be hostile to him.
"Uncle Li, I have a merciless request. No matter what the case is, I want to meet Liu Shanwang in person. As a father, it's not too much to meet his son, right? I would like to ask Uncle Li to be accommodating." .”
Li Qinzai said calmly: "My son is imprisoned in the prison of Yongzhou Governor's Mansion. This case has alarmed the emperor. The case is serious and extremely bad. In order to avoid suspicion, it is better for Liu Yushi not to interfere with my handling of the case, otherwise it is easy to get burned."
Liu Xingzhou became increasingly uneasy and asked tentatively: "If Gouzi is found guilty, what kind of punishment will he receive?"
Li Qinzai smiled: "Liu Yushi is an official of Yushitai, which is one of the three divisions. You are always familiar with "Zhenguan Law", right? Don't you know what kind of punishment your son will receive?"
"The theft hurt someone. The injury was actually an attempted murder. The person injured was the grandson of Duke Shen. Think about it for yourself. I'm afraid it's not enough to live thousands of miles away."
Liu Xingzhou had cold sweat pouring down his forehead.
Liu Shanwang was his only son, and he was born at an old age. The Liu family's incense was all tied to Liu Shanwang. If Li Qinzai really sentenced him to death, the Liu family would be completely cut off.
Liu Xingzhou looked up at Li Qinzai and said softly: "Uncle Li, do you know if there is any other way to reduce the punishment for the dog? Please give me some guidance."
Li Qinzai smiled meaningfully: "I don't seem to understand Liu Yushi's words. Apart from judging the case impartially, where else can I find a way out?"
"Why don't Liu Yushi go home and reflect on why he raised such a son? Of course, it would be better if he could reflect on other things."
Liu Xingzhou was suddenly shocked. At this moment, he finally understood what Li Qinzai said.
After talking nonsense for a long time all morning, the only thing that was really useful was Li Qinzai’s last sentence, “Reflect on other things.”
What can Liu Xingzhou reflect on?
Doesn't he know what he has done recently?
Ignoring wiping the cold sweat from his forehead, Liu Xingzhou said nonchalantly: "The lower official deserves to die! The lower official should not listen to rumors and impeach my cousin..."
Li Qinzai hurriedly stopped him: "Don't talk nonsense. It has not yet been determined whether my cousin is guilty. If the Dali Temple judges that he is really guilty, Liu Yushi has done a good job in impeaching him! Help me clean up the Li family, and my British father-in-law's family will be happy." I should all thank you."
After a smooth conversation, Liu Xingzhou was stunned for a long time, and then he could only say: "Yes, the official made a mistake. What he meant was that Ling's cousin's case has been brought to Dali Temple, and even if he wanted to withdraw his consent, there would be no way to recover." …”
Li Qinzai didn't raise his eyebrows and sighed softly: "Yes, he fell into Dali Temple and there is no way to save him. There are so many people trying to impeach him, I don't know where this evil wind blew from..."
Liu Xingzhou understood the seemingly emotional words again, and his expression suddenly fell into struggle.
The meaning in Li Qinzai's words was very subtle. It probably meant that you have to tell me the source of this evil wind, otherwise we have nothing to talk about.
"Your Majesty, please let me go back and think about it..." Liu Xingzhou gritted his teeth.
Li Qinzai said pleasantly: "Go to hell."
…………
In the backyard of Guanyi next to Chang'an West Market, a furnace of sandalwood is burning in the middle of the yard. The smoke rises from the hollow incense burner. There is a hint of Zen in the air, making people feel peaceful from the bottom of their hearts.
The Lord of Jinxiang County wears plain clothes and has no rouge. His slender hands are caressing a guqin. The leisurely, elegant and sometimes sad music of the piano is lingering with the rising sandalwood.
Niu Fangzhi stroked his beard and closed his eyes, listening to the master of Jinxiang County playing the piano with an intoxicated look on his face. He nodded from time to time or frowned slightly, all relying on his expression to comment on Jinxiang's piano skills.
After a long time, the melody was finished, and the maid brought the copper basin. Jinxiang stretched out his hand to clean his hands in the copper basin, and said with a sweet smile: "Grandpa Niu, may this song reach your ears?"
Niu Fangzhi stroked his beard and smiled and said: "At your age, it is rare to be able to play the song "Wen Ji Returns to the Han" to such a high level."
Jin Xiang pouted slightly: "That is to say, the junior's piano skills are still not good enough?"
Niu Fangzhi smiled and said: ""Wen Ji Returns to the Han", also known as "Eighteen Pats of Hujia", tells the story of Cai Wenji's life of misery and wandering. It has eighteen pats, sometimes tranquil, sometimes exciting, sometimes sad. But in the end, it came down to sympathy for the people who were displaced by the war. Although your piano skills are good, you feel the same when you lose them, and you lose a little charm. It's a pity."
Jin Xiang lowered his head humbly and said, "Grandpa Niu taught me the lesson. I will practice diligently and play for Grandpa Niu in the future. You will not be disappointed."
Niu Fangzhi stroked his beard and smiled approvingly, but narrowed his eyes and said, "You sent people all the way out of the city to invite me to this hotel. Do you just want me to listen to you playing the piano?"
Jin Xiang's pretty face turned red and said: "Grandpa Niu has a sharp eye, and I can't hide anything from you..."
Niu Fangzhi was stunned: "Is something really wrong? Don't tell me, it's your little lover who is causing trouble again."
Jinxiang was ashamed and said angrily: "What a 'little lover', Grandpa Niu's words are too unpleasant."
Niu Fangzhi snorted: "What do you think I say? That look on your face is so red that you just have to write 'I won't marry him' on your face."
