Chapter 180 (1/2)
Li Chengye personally came with a hundred soldiers. As a county Marquis, he can raise 300 soldiers.
When I saw the scene on Leyou, I first took a breath, and then I was furious.
But I have all kinds of concerns. I only leave with my family and the surviving thieves first, leaving two families waiting for the handover with liumen.
On the way, Wei Ran endured the pain and told Li Chengye the general process. Zhang Jing, the nephew of Zhang Zhen, the eunuch of the right Shence general, was specially pointed out. He pointed out his home to the thieves and deliberately spread panic, so that other powerful families gave up resistance and ran away first.
Otherwise, if the guards of other powerful families can help fight, they may not fight so badly.
Li Chengye was silent all the way. When he was a general of Zuo Shence, he felt the provocation of the right Shence army led by eunuchs.
If there is a conflict, the left Shence army under Li Chengye can sling the right Shence army composed of businessmen and powerful children, but he knows the hidden rules of the forbidden army of the Tang Dynasty.
The Zuo Shence army is stationed outside Chang'an City and specializes in foreign operations. It maintains the authority of the imperial court and makes the world peaceful.
The right Shence army is stationed in the city to maintain law and order. It never fights outside. It only focuses on the left Shence army to protect the safety of the royal family.
The division of labor between the two was different, and the right Shence army led by eunuchs was really trusted by the emperor. Even though Li Chengye has now given up the power of Zuo Shence's great general, his prestige is there, and the court and China can't be afraid. This is the reason why he must abandon martial arts and follow literature.
If the right Shence army is really behind this incident, Li Chengye really can't do anything, because behind the eunuch is the imperial power.
The original case of Leyou naturally became a major case that shook the court. Not only Li Chengye, but also the honourable minister in the court and the emperor, could not be easily let go.
Within three days, all the bandits such as the escaped poisonous hand sword and the stronghold leader of Langshan stronghold were captured.
There is no lack of torture and execution. However, for the real murderer behind the scenes, all clues are broken on Shi Bowen, who was killed by Wei Ran.
In those years, the people in the shogunate of Longyou Jiedu envoy were also investigated again. As for this investigation, there are naturally many people killed wrongly and wrongly. However, the imperial court always pays attention to killing by mistake, which has caused waves among the people and the Jianghu.
Later, the emperor praised Wei Ran's behavior of sacrificing his life to the Wei family, so that his reputation spread all over Chang'an city. In the past, his reputation was mostly related to all kinds of ominous phenomena at birth, but at this time, the ominous meaning of his body was diluted in the market.
Many Jianghu Rangers even came to make friends, but when they inquired, Wei Ran was actually a 13-year-old boy, they felt very incredible. Even so, there were still many daily worship posts.
Among the Li family's Pro guards, they also recognized the eldest childe more because of one thing.
That was Wei Yangang's home. Even though he was black and blue, he didn't forget to pay for more than a dozen Pro guards who died in the war. Even in addition to the normal settlement fee, he took out all the money he had in his pocket and entrusted the leader of the guard to help deliver it to their families.
At this time, the family guard not only admired Wei Ran's bravery, but also recognized his love, righteousness and master spirit.
In the past, he may have been regarded as a higher general, but now he has been fully recognized as the master of the Li family.
Or because of blood, the natural status must be weaker than Li Guangsi, the first heir of the Li family, but it is enough to be equal to Li Jianxing. This change in attitude represents the complete acceptance of the core supporters in the family, unlike before, only Li Chengye and the two mistresses of the back house recognized it.
The traitor in the county Hou's house was a servant woman next to Ji's concubine Gu. I didn't know how much she hated Li Chengye. Before the Li family returned to the house, they hanged themselves, but another clue was broken.
Wei Ran suspected that the person who took in Shi Bowen and others and gathered them to arm was a powerful man in Beijing. However, he sat firmly on the Diaoyutai, but he didn't show his feet at all. Even the weapons and horses used to investigate the bandits point to all parts of the Tang Dynasty without any flaws.
Although it is suspected that this person has a relationship with eunuch Zhang Zhen, after the investigation has no evidence, it is impossible for Li Chengye to continue the investigation at the risk of offending all the dignitaries in Chang'an city.
In addition, he also had the shadow of imperial power in his heart. He suspected that the imperial court deliberately increased the scope of attack, not to catch thieves, but to attack his reputation of Li Chengye, which made the Jianghu and the people hate him.
