Yu Xiaoqian answered Li Mingda with a smile: "Li Chen, Mr. Li Guang, we haven't seen each other for a long time. I will ask someone to call you right now."
Yu Xiaoqian went down to arrange for someone to pick up the luggage and call Li Chen back.
Speaking of Li Chen, Li Mingda remembered Li Guang. This boy ran from his mansion to become an official in Cheng Yaojin's Jinwu Guard. He followed his brother in Chang'an to take care of each other, and he lived a good life.
If the rope is too long, it will fly uncontrollably. If any trouble occurs, it is still my fault. Naturally, I have to tighten the rope occasionally.
Li Chen and Li Guang naturally rushed over after receiving the news.
Of the two, Li Chen has helped Li Mingda take care of the outside industry over the years, and has lost the youthful Qianniuwei look of the past. His dark face has a hint of competence, he has gained a lot of weight, and his face is a bit fleshy. It's thick and my belly is bulging.
Li Guang still looks like a soldier. Compared to Qian Niuwei, he has also begun to contact all kinds of things in the world, and he has begun to overdo it.
Li Chen: "My subordinate, Li Chen, would like to pay my respects to Her Royal Highness the Princess."
Li Guang: "Subordinate Li Guang, please pay homage to Her Royal Highness the Princess."
"Sit down, why are you two here together?"
Li Chen smiled and replied to Li Mingda: "Your Highness, Li Guang and I happened to be together today."
Li Guang nodded: "Yes, some people can't enter the house and have to stay in my humble residence."
Li Chen looked a little embarrassed: "Ha, this person is a little unlucky."
Li Guang looked at Li Chen talking about him like this and couldn't help but shake his head: "You are still very thick-skinned."
Li Mingda narrowed his eyes. Apparently Li Chen, his grandson, had provoked an elder in the family or the head of the family again.
Li Mingda decided to educate him: "Li Chen, are you raising a child outside again?"
Li Chen shook his head: "No, that's not the case."
Li Guang looked contemptuous: "Brother, just do it."
Li Chen waved his hand to shoo away Li Guang like a fly: "Go away, you are talking nonsense, you are slandering my innocence out of thin air."
"cut"
Li Mingda scolded Li Chen with a fierce face: "Li Chen, tell the truth quickly. You have to know that you are well prepared. If you do something you shouldn't do, the punishment will not be light."
Li Chen scratched his head: "Hey, Your Highness, let me tell you, didn't we meet the little woman?"
"Oh, you two have an affair"
"Pfft...No, no, it's okay."
Li Chen hurriedly explained: "In the summer, I happened to pass by that road with my people, and I saw a young woman carrying a heavy object. I was thinking that the man in that family didn't work and let a woman do it. So and so, so I stepped forward to help and asked by the way."
Li Mingda: "Then what?"
Li Chen: "Who knew that after asking, I realized that the woman's husband-in-law was in jail, leaving her alone with her young son. The family was originally well-off, but because of her husband-in-law's corruption, she had to pay a lot of compensation, and now the family is in ruins. "
"I went up to talk to that woman and found out that she was quite knowledgeable and well-educated. I helped her find a job in our industry so that she could live a comfortable life, right?"
Li Chen successfully aroused his curiosity. Li Mingda then asked Li Chen: "Oh, so where is this woman's natal family?"
Li Chen: "Don't mention it. As soon as I heard something happened here, I disliked her and kicked her out of the house."
"What about the man's family?"
"The parents of Du Miao have passed away. It would be a good thing if other relatives in the family don't bully me and my son."
"Which jail did this man sit in?"
Li Chen looked a little embarrassed and asked Li Mingda cautiously: "Your Highness, please don't ask this question. If someone says later that my smuggling relationship will affect your reputation,"
"You mean Jin Yiwei's prison, right?"
Li Chen nodded: "Yes, I heard that he is in the Jinyiwei prison."
"Why didn't that woman tell you?"
"She doesn't want me to know that. If she knows, I'm taking care of your property."
oh
There is still such a thing, why don't you ask Li Chen to help you fish out your husband?
Li Mingda looked at Li Chen suspiciously, and then asked Li Guang: "Is this why your sister-in-law and parents don't let him enter the house?"
Li Guang nodded: "Yeah, I think my brother is possessed by a devil, and he arranged for a prisoner's wife."
Li Mingda rubbed his chin: "Actually, I don't blame your brother. Regardless of the fact that he was deliberately arranged to get close to him, it's just a coincidence. This has already happened, so we have to find a way to solve it."
Li Chen hurriedly confessed to Li Mingda: "Your Highness, I really didn't think about anything."
"You don't need to explain. This matter needs a suitable solution. The person cannot be released or left alone. Let's check the background of the case first. What is the name of that person?"
"The man seems to be a soldier. He only embezzled the pensions of his brothers. Qiu Houwenzhan"
It was already the end of autumn. Li Mingda called to the waiting Jin Yiwei in the corner to come out: "Check it according to the conditions Li Chen said."
The Jinyi Guard handed over his hand: "Your Highness, I remember that this person's information is Zhu Jie, a 23-year-old native of Chang'an City. He joined the Jinwu Guards five years ago and later guarded the border between Datang and Goguryeo. During a border inspection, he was discovered and smuggled to Goguryeo. traders, and then fought with them, and several border soldiers died in the battle."
"Later, the pension money allocated by the imperial court was used for other purposes by corruption. The corrupt money was supposed to be investment in failed business. Later, it was discovered by the family members of those who were killed in the battle. Later, he was arrested and interrogated in the late autumn of this year."
"The family has a wife and one child. They are still living in Chang'an City before the trial is over. According to Jinyiwei regulations, they will notify their families one month before the execution to prepare for the funeral."
After listening to his subordinate's introduction, Li Mingda couldn't help but smile: "This Zhu Jie is also stupid."
Li Chen: "Why did your Highness say this?"
"Smugglers who dare to smuggle are not only desperate gangsters, but they must also have some connections with some merchant families. Otherwise, where will the smuggled goods come from? If you are a local snake, will you let those smugglers buy goods from outside? This is just a joke. Meat on the side"
"There are too many twists and turns here. This Zhu Jie must have been tricked, am I right?"
Jin Yiwei, who was asked by Li Mingda, nodded: "Your Highness is right. Based on the clues provided by Zhu Jie, we have discovered the merchants and some local families who were smuggling from Liaodong to Goguryeo. We have already dealt with some of them, and we have some of the rest." Under the control of the people, part of them is still under surveillance to prevent the Goguryeo people from seeing the clues."
Li Mingda asked Jin Yiwei: "Why does it sound familiar to me? The smuggling hole in Liaodong was discovered on his body, so have you considered giving a lighter punishment?"
"Some people in the Jinyi Guards hope that Zhu Jie's matter will be dealt with leniently, but after all, it involves border troops and pensions for fallen soldiers. The subordinates dare not open this mouth to avoid giving evidence to those people."
I am familiar with Goguryeo, and I have been cheated by those merchant families. I have been squatting too much, and my family has concerns. It seems that I can transfer it and use it.
"Go and bring this Zhu Jie over."
