Li You said: "Dear sirs, when encountering such a gang force, as a minister of the Tang Dynasty, they are obliged to eradicate it.

I believe that even if you all encounter such a thing, you will never stand by and watch.

Xue Rengui was quick-witted and immediately judged that the gang was related to the inn. After careful investigation, he captured the gang members of the gang, followed the clues and captured the gang leader.

The gang leader is named Gao Ba, and his uncle is Yan Huaiqing, the governor of Longzhou."

"So that's the case, no wonder." Everyone talked.

"It's this Xue Rengui again. This person is really both civil and military. He can even make a case. It's amazing." Someone said.

Li You continued: "Father, I did not think that Gao Ba was a relative of Yan Huaiqing, but because the son found Gao Ba hid in the governor's mansion. Yan Huaiqing actually covered up this person.

then……"

He told the story of arresting Gao Ba at that time.

He said: "Since Yan Huaiqing was guilty of sheltering and hiding, his son had to take him down.

As for the appointment of the governor of Longzhou, this is the case.

After Yan Huaiqing was taken down, no one in Longzhou could preside over government affairs, and someone would also need to preside over investigation of the crimes of Gao Ba, Yan Huaiqing and others.

The son minister could only temporarily appoint the Longzhou Chief Shi Gao Wanli as the acting governor in the name of his father. After the son minister returned, he had already informed Lord Changsun of this matter.

Fortunately, Gao Wanli is familiar with local government affairs, is loyal and upright, and has rich experience. He successfully took over the government affairs of Longzhou. However, because of the departure of Yan Huaiqing, the governor of Longzhou, the government affairs of Longzhou were paralyzed."

Changsun Wuji said, "Your Majesty, this is indeed the case. I think that His Highness, King of Qi, has dealt with it on the spot, maintained the stability of Longzhou and taken appropriate measures.

Moreover, His Highness King Qi only appointed Gao Wanli as the temporary acting governor, and there was no suspicion of overreaching authority and appointing officials of the court without any suspicion of being unsupported."

"Your Majesty, the old minister believes that His Highness, the King of Qi, is not at fault." Xiao Qian came out and said.

"yes."

"yes."

In addition to Li You's supporters, the prince's supporters also came out to express their approval.

Li Shimin still has no comment.

At this time, Yan Lide came out, and he said with red eyes: "Your Majesty, these are all the one-sided words of King Li You of Qi. He said that Gao Ba was a gangster, what evidence do he have?"

"Oh." Li You sighed, shook his head, and looked at the dizzy old guy with pity.

"Your Majesty, let me tell you." This is, Wei Zheng, who had entered the hall, came out.

Li Shimin nodded and signaled him to speak.

Wei Zheng said: "After His Highness the King of Qi returned to Chang'an, I informed me of this matter. I believe that it is related to the governor of a state and cannot just listen to His Highness the King of Qi's one-sided words, so I went to Longzhou in person.

After investigation by my minister, Gao Ba is indeed a local bully. Not only does he bully men and women on weekdays, he also secretly recruited a group of criminals and colluded with some inns, specializing in the activities of assassinating past pedestrians from other places.

Now, 96 people have been found to be killed, including 32 women, 12 who were humiliated to death, and 20 people who were sold to the raid. The robbed property is worth 510,000 yuan."

"What? There is such a thing?"

"Kill him!"

"Destroy his nine clans!"

The ministers were all angry and roared together.

"Master Wei." This is, someone stood up. Everyone saw that it was Yao Jinxiang, the Minister of Rites.

He said tremblingly: "Mr. Wei, is there a woman named Wang Huiyan among the victims?"

Wei Zheng took out the roster and looked at it, saying, "Yes, Wang Huiyan, female, 19 years old, from Chang'an."

Yao Jinsang asked, "How is she?"

"I died, and after being insulted, I committed suicide by jumping into the water." Wei Zheng said.

"Ah, my Hui'er!" Yao Jinxiang fell to the ground and fainted.

"Imperial Doctor, please pass on the Imperial Doctor."

There was chaos in the hall.

"What's going on?" Everyone was talking.

Tang Jian, the Minister of Rites, came out and said, "Your Majesty, this girl is Lord Yao's daughter-in-law. She disappeared five months ago when she returned to her hometown in Yuanzhou to visit her relatives. She must have been killed while passing by Longzhou.

At that time, the girl was 6 months pregnant."

"What?!" Li Shimin was furious and slapped his palm on the armrest of the dragon chaise.

"Steel him!"

"Yes, cut him!"

The ministers were extremely angry and roared one by one.

Li Tai's face was pale.

Yan Li's face is as if dead.

"His Majesty!"

Yan Lide was stunned. In this situation, he still jumped out. No wonder his grandson and his son must have no way to survive. He had to come out and fight to the death.

He said, "Your Majesty, you are wronged. These are all the one-sided words of King Li You of Qi. As we all know, Wei Zheng and King Li You of Qi have been very close. This must have been colluded with them to frame the son and grandson of the minister."

Li Shimin said angrily: "Shut up!"

Then, he said, "Ma Xuanliang, please tell me."

"Yes, Your Majesty." Ma Xuanliang flashed out from behind Li Shimin.

He said, "Your Majesty, I went to Longzhou to investigate under the order. Every word that Lord Wei said is true." It turned out that he was the mysterious other group of people.

That day, Li You informed Wei Zheng of the matter, and Wei Zheng immediately went to report to Li Shimin.

Li Shimin believed that the matter was of great importance and immediately sent Wei Zheng to investigate.

The next day, Li You wanted to report this to Li Shimin, and Li Shimin had to wait until the investigation results came out before talking. Therefore, Li Shimin refused to listen to him and sent him away.

This incident involved the son of Yan Lide, the elder brother of Li Tai's teacher, and to some extent also involved King Li Tai of Wei. Li Shimin had to be more cautious.

Therefore, he not only sent Wei Zheng to investigate, but also sent Ma Xuanliang to Longzhou to investigate in person.

Li Shimin angrily said: "Yan Lide, what else do you have to say?! Yes!"

Yan Lide collapsed to the ground all of a sudden.

"Punish the murderer severely and eliminate the bully!" the ministers roared angrily.

Li Shimin waved his hand and suppressed the voices of the ministers.

He said: "The facts of this case are clear and there is no need for retrial. I will declare the following sentence:

The evildoer Gao Ba and his gang members were killed and executed, and their immediate relatives were sent to Lingnan, and their family property was confiscated.

Yan Huaiqing sheltered criminals, removed all official positions, and his whole family was exiled to Lingnan.

Yan Lide was unrighteous in educating his children and was jointly and severally responsible. He was relieved of his position as Minister of Works and returned home after resigning.

Yan Liben…”

"Father, Lord Yan has nothing to do with this matter. My son is willing to guarantee Lord Yan." Li Tai said.

Li Shimin still cared for Li Tai, and he said: "Yan Liben was responsible for mistakes and was fined one year's salary.

I’m here.”

"Your Majesty is wise, long live your Majesty, long live your Majesty, long live your Majesty!" all the officials praised.

The matter has come to an end.
