Chapter 33: A Wolf

Shen Hao was almost strangled by Wang Jian's last words.

What is "Jiang Qianhu also received filial piety from the Li family"? Can this be said casually?

Fortunately, the door was closed, and no one else heard what he said, otherwise it would be quite troublesome.

"Who else has read this statement?"

"As for Zhou Tao and Yang Lin, who were newly recruited to be in charge of the torture, they have seen it. Don't worry, they know how powerful they are and won't gossip around."

"Remind them later, and forget about it after reading it. If you dare to say a word, it is the way to die!"

"Don't worry, Zongqi, I will explain clearly to them. But can you still use the confession after reading it?"

Wang Jian is not stupid, he knows that Wu Sanhe can't stand the torture so he poured out the details of the Li family, but he didn't expect that many high-ranking officials in Fengri City were also involved. Changes are contrary to the principle of "controlling the scope of influence", and a bad one will get out of control.

Shen Hao pondered for a long time.

"Wu Sanhe is put in custody, from food to custody must be all our own people, no outsiders are allowed to visit the prison without my permission, and all things given to Wu Sanhe, even bamboo chips for scraping buttocks, must be Check carefully! I want you to guarantee that before I nod my head, Wu Sanhe must be alive!"

"Understood, before you want to chop off his head, I will keep him alive even if the Heavenly King Lao Tzu comes!" Wang Jian quickly expressed his determination, then turned around and left immediately. He wanted to go to the dungeon immediately to arrange the manpower.

Wang Jian left, but Shen Hao didn't. His mind was spinning fast now. The confession of Wu Sanhe in his hand is a double-edged sword. If used well, many problems can be solved once and for all, and great benefits can also be obtained. , If you don't use it well, it will be a big trouble.

Repeatedly reading the content of the confession twice, especially the brief list of the Li family sending money to various officials in Fengri City, Shen Hao's eyelids twitched.

"This is an opportunity, and there will be no better breakthrough than this opportunity in the short term. However... this matter cannot be tied in my hands, it is too hot, and I have to find someone with a stronger body to hold it safely some."

At the first moment, Shen Hao naturally thought of the biggest head in the Licheng guard.

Tang Qingyuan didn't know why his eyelids started to twitch early this morning, and it didn't stop until the afternoon, feeling a little restless in his heart.

Seeing Shen Hao knocking on the door with a text, Tang Qingyuan understood why he was so uneasy.

"Are you sure my head can handle this kind of thing?!"

I've seen a bold one, but I've never seen one so big. This is playing with fire, and I'm still planning to pull him to play with him. Tang Qingyuan thought for a moment that he had chosen Shen Hao to be the chief officer of the Black Flag Battalion, was it too hasty?

"My lord, you can't just look at the risks, you have to look at the benefits together. If this matter is handled according to what the subordinates said, although the risks are high, the benefits are also large enough, and the risks are still controllable."

". There are four nobles in the Li family who are still alive, and the highest is the eighth-rank viscount! I have to bow when I see that kind of person! Just think about how terrifying the relationship behind him is! You actually want to take the opportunity to kill him. Is it full of people?!"

Shen Hao didn't expect Tang Qingyuan's reaction to be so big, but he said that he couldn't take it back casually, and this was indeed the safest way to deal with it after he thought about it.

"My lord, the Li family wantonly spent money in Fengri City, and privately networked so many high-ranking officials, even Jiang Qianhu has received their filial piety. I'm afraid this is not as simple as "maintaining relationships"? I really need to get to the bottom of it." Is it not too much to deduct a "clique for personal gain"?

Moreover, Li Bing dared to wantonly wrong, slander, and kill court officials for mere money, and put the other party's family to death. I am afraid that such an act of lawlessness cannot be perfunctory with a word of "dereliction of duty" or "greedy money", right? It is not a problem to convict of a "rebellion", right? "

Forming a party for personal gain? !

Treason? !

Tang Qingyuan's first reaction was, is Shen Hao crazy? But after thinking about it carefully, the expression on his face gradually became more exciting.

According to the current laws of the old Jing Dynasty, the determination of forming a party for personal gain and treason is "one size fits all". So these two great sins are actually not divided in detail.

If it's true that the Li family's "bribery" behavior is based on forming a party for personal gain, isn't it? Of course you can!

Is it okay to rely on the fact that Li Bing broke the law as treason? Of course you can! Because the victim was a serious official of the imperial court and a parent official of the ruling party.

"It's actually not difficult for the Li family to be convicted of these two crimes. You just need to grasp the loopholes in the Yunyang smuggling case and dig deep. When the time comes, I will raid the Li family. There is absolutely something.

Moreover, my lord, the Li family is very powerful, since we have no way to retreat now, why don't we just keep going and avoid future troubles? "

Tang Qingyuan sat back on the chair again, looking at Shen Hao with imperceptible vigilance.

I thought you were a dog, but you turned out to be a wolf.

Tang Qingyuan is almost in this mood now. But he also had to admit that Shen Hao's idea was very good. Since he got into trouble with the Li family, he couldn't be soft-handed, either he didn't do it or he did it absolutely.

"How sure are you?"

"Seventy percent!"

"Well, I'll take a gamble with you. The Li family has been showing off their power in Licheng for too long, and it's time to restore Licheng's clarity. You just let go and do it, and mention it now if you need it."

"Manpower and masters! I need masters to deal with the possible counterattack or escape of the Li family. You know, this kind of thing is the most taboo for fish that slip through the net, so I hope that the Lord can give me orders and authorize the mobilization of all warriors in the guard. And the rights of all town guards in the Licheng area!"

What Shen Hao wants is temporary control, which is the biggest means of power within the jurisdiction of the Xuanqing Guard Hundred Household Officer.

Tang Qingyuan narrowed his eyes slightly, unsure: "Is this necessary?"

"The subordinates think they are prepared. Besides, if the subordinates issue this order, it will be convenient for adults to deal with the superiors." The implication is that if the superiors make too much noise, he is willing to help Tang Qingyuan take the blame.

Speaking of the end of this matter, Tang Qingyuan nodded, and signed an order in front of Shen Hao and handed it to him.

"Remember, this order can only be given at the last moment. And if things fail, I will not admit that I gave you this order."

"I know, don't worry, my lord."

"Okay, let's go down, the progress of the case will be reported all the time."

"Then this subordinate will retire."

"Um."

In the afternoon of that day, Shen Hao went to the arsenal, and took out all the talisman rations belonging to the Black Flag Camp in the last three months at once.

Including 15 Thunderbolt Talismans, 60 Encouragement Talismans, and 30 Divine Movement Talismans

After the talismans were brought out, Shen Hao kept the three Thunderbolt Talismans and the two Divine Movement Talismans and handed out the rest overnight.
