Unparalleled Concubine

   Chapter 216 An Important Visit

  Dali Temple Imperial Prison.

  The so-called imperial prison refers to prisoners who were arrested by the emperor himself. Generally speaking, officials at the level of Jiuqing have this honor, because at the level of Jiuqing, unless the emperor issues an decree, there is no way for the three judicial divisions to convict them.

  But now, Li Ji, a rank five Yulin Weilang general, is fortunate to be imprisoned inside.

   In the evening, Li Yan, the minister of military affairs in normal uniform, came to the Dali Temple and met Yan Shouzhuo, the head of the Dali Temple, who was going home from work.

Yan Shouzhuo is already in his fifties this year. At his age, he basically wants to be the head of the Dali Siqing, and this Yan Zhengqing is not very good. Many people in the court and the public think that he will die in office. superior.

Dali Siqing and the Minister of War are both of the third grade. When Li Yan came, Yan Shouzhuo naturally wanted to receive him. In Dali Siqing's classroom, Yan Shouzhuo poured a cup of tea for Li Yan with his own hands, and a smile appeared on his pale face: " How come Li Shilang is free to come to my Dali Temple?"

  Li Yan bowed his head slightly and said with a smile, "I came here to ask Yan Qingzheng about one thing."

   Yan Shouzhuo's face changed slightly, and he said, "Isn't Li Shilang going to see that imperial criminal Li Ji?"

Li Yanchang breathed a sigh of relief and said, "That's right, Yan Qing has been an official in the court for many years, so he naturally knows that Li Ji was recommended to the court by the Pingnan Houfu. Go see him, and if he has something to explain outside, the Marquis of Pingnan will try its best to do it."

Yan Shouzhuo shook his head: "Li Shilang's thoughts are too serious, as far as this official knows, although Li Ji has committed evil, he is quite strict in his actions, and his subordinates did not personally contaminate human life, and most of those who died committed suicide. Yes, the guilt on his body is not heavy, he is going to sit in jail, but he will not die, so Li Shilang can rest assured."

Li Yan said solemnly: "Lord Qingzheng, you are also from a big family, so you should know the weight of this. Li Ji was recommended by my Houfu. If something happened to him, the Houfu needs to give the court an explanation. In any case, I want to see him next time."

   Strictly guarded and awkward.

"Li Shilang, it's not because this official is unreasonable, but this Li Ji was ordered by His Majesty himself. Now the three judicial divisions have not yet arraigned, and there is no His Majesty's warrant, no one can see him. If it spreads out, it will be all over the Dali Temple. guilt."

  Li Yan took out a stack of bearer money orders from Chase Bank from his sleeve and slowly put it on the table.

   "Lord Qingzheng, this is a little thought from my Pingnanhou mansion to the lord."

  Yan Shouzhuo's eyes flickered, and he glanced at the stack of money orders from Chase Bank on the table.

  Each piece is a hundred dollars, and together there are at least several thousand dollars.

   In this world, there is nothing that money can't get through, but the money given to this Dali temple minister is very particular. It must be more or less. If it is less, it will not move him, and if it is too much, it will arouse his suspicion.

  Several thousand dollars, just no more or no less.

  Yan Shouzhuo pondered for a moment, and finally lowered his head slowly: "Li Shilang can go to the imperial prison, but he has to change into the clothes of the jailer. After entering, it should not exceed half an hour."

  Li Yan nodded happily: "Thank you Yan Qingzheng."

   After a while, an old jailer of the imperial prison, under the instruction of Yan Shouzhuo, brought Li Yan, who also wore the clothes of the jailer, into the imperial prison of Dali Temple.

   This is actually a commonplace thing. After all, the people who can be locked in the imperial prison are all big people at the beginning, and it is not surprising that some people will come in to see them.

   In fact, there are not many people in the prison of Dali Temple. There are only five or six people in the count. After all, at the level of Jiuqing, there are not many people who really have trouble with the emperor.

   Even if they fall out, it's hard to survive.

  The old jailer led Li Yan to a new cell. After opening the cell door, the old jailer said in a muffled voice, "It's only half an hour, if it's too long, it's easy to get into trouble."

  Li Yan nodded slightly: "Got it."

   After the old jailer finished speaking, he walked away wisely.

  Li Yan squatted down in the cell and looked at the middle-aged man with disheveled hair in front of him.

  Li Ji was originally a person who loved cleanliness very much, and his hair was meticulously combed on weekdays, but he was suddenly taken into prison, and his whole body became disheveled and quite embarrassed under the ups and downs of his mentality.

   Li Yan said softly: "Li Ji, do you still recognize me?"

  Li Yanjiu was not in the capital, and he and the general of Yulinwei had met no more than three times in total, and the two were not familiar with each other.

Li Ji raised his head and first frowned at Li Yan who was wearing the uniform of a jailer. After a while, he finally recognized who Li Yan was. Then the middle-aged man with a fair complexion and a mustache immediately became excited. up.

   "Li...Second brother, are you here to rescue me?"

   Li Ji is also about forty years old this year, but after the ups and downs, he actually looks like a child.

   Li Yan said calmly: "In a while, you will definitely not be able to get out."

   Having said this, after a pause, Li Yan added: "But you don't have to worry too much, you won't die, you can go out after spending a few years in prison at most."

  Li Ji shook his head.

   "Second brother, you can't say that. This prison... is full of filth. Where is the place for people?"

   He came from an aristocratic family. He likes cleanliness the most on weekdays, even to the point of being obsessed with cleanliness. The prison is full of rotten smells and mice. He can't stay here for a quarter of an hour.

   Li Yan gave a low drink: "Do you want to be clean, or do you want to die?"

  Li Ji obediently kept quiet and did not speak.

Li Yan lowered his voice and said solemnly: "Listen, I used a lot of energy to enter the imperial prison, not to tell you such nonsense, I ask you, you have been in Yulinwei for so long, Do you have any die-hards?"

   Li Ji glanced at Li Yan in amazement, and after a while nodded stunned: "Yes... some..."

   He has been in Yulinwei for nearly ten years, and he has only been a general for four or five years. Naturally, he has a lot of die-hard loyalists.

   "You speak now, do they still listen?"

  Li Ji took a deep breath and said, "I want to hear it."

  Li Yan closed his eyes and said, "Okay, you can read all their names now, and I will try my best to write them down."

  Li Ji's lips trembled, and he said, "Second...Second brother, what are you doing...?"

   This Yulin Weilang is almost swaying.

   "Second brother, you won't use them..."

   He didn't say the last words, and didn't dare to say it.

  Li Yan took a deep breath and said, "Don't worry about it, use your people to do this kind of thing, I don't worry if you want it!"

The Minister of Military Affairs gave Li Ji a light look: "You will spend three or five years in prison this time, but you have helped me by saying it now. Your family members outside will be taken care of by Pingnan Houfu. , if you don't want to, the evil things you've done over the years are enough for your family to suffer!"

   "Don't... I said."

After saying six or seven names in one breath, Li Ji turned pale and said, "Second brother, don't do stupid things, if you really want to use them... and if you do that thing, the court will investigate it in the future. It's your family's business, and the entire Li family in Zhao County will be affected!"

"do not worry."

  Li Yan stood up slowly and said, "I just want to use them to do great things. With your prestige, they won't be willing to do it."

   Having said that, Li Yan stood up and walked out of the prison of Dali Temple.
