Datang: The prince of salted fish was overheard by Li Er

Hearing this news, Li You, who was wandering around in the south, hurried back all night.

With Sakura's help, Li You changed his clothes, and during this time, all the core members of Shence Mansion came to Li You's study.

Li You picked up the file on the desk, flipped through it, and asked, "Commander Mou, has the message I asked you to pass on?"

Mu Bin nodded and said, "Boss Kang has already received it. After receiving the news from the prince, his mental state has obviously improved a lot."

"In the past two days, I have not said anything except crying for grievances."

"However, Chief Kang Jie also said that he felt that the action against them this time was not as simple as just wanting a house. Some people asked a lot about Datang coins when they were asking questions."

"He told the prince to be more careful."

Li You didn't expect that there would be twists and turns behind this matter, but he is no longer what he used to be, and he is more stable in doing things than three years ago.

"Let leader Kang Jie wait patiently. This time, when the king comes back, he will definitely not let anything happen to him."

"What's the progress of the investigation at Dali Temple now?"

Mu Bin thought for a while and said: "Your Majesty also attaches great importance to this matter, this time it is the joint trial of the three divisions."

"So far, there hasn't been much progress beyond that initial letter and vague reasoning."

"However, apart from the family's continuous promotion of this matter, Dali Temple Minister Liu Dewei, Yushi Dafu Wei Zheng, and Criminal Minister Li Daozong who participated in the joint trial are all on our side and His Majesty's side. If there is no further evidence, they will definitely not frame the case. Nice guy."

Hearing the lineup for the interrogation, Li You felt relieved.

Naturally, Wei Zheng, the official censor, had nothing to say, he always dealt with business affairs, never had any room for sand in his eyes, so naturally he would not give in to the aristocratic family.

Li Daozong was originally a member of the Li clan, so he was naturally on Li Shimin's side.

After the first battle with the Eastern Turks, Li Daozong sealed [-] households because of his meritorious service, and called to worship the Minister of the Ministry of Punishment.

Such a famous general who acted vigorously and clearly rewarded and punished entered the Ministry of Criminal Justice, which also added a sense of iron and blood to the Ministry of Criminal Justice.

However, due to Li Daozong's character of hating evil and vengeance, relying on his own background, he did not show mercy to the mistakes of the son of the family.

He often gave severe sentences during trials, which made those in the aristocratic family who dared to commit crimes tremble with fear.

With him, the final trial can be guaranteed by force with fairness and justice!
As for the identity of Liu Dewei, Minister of Dali Temple, there are some subtleties.

Liu Dewei was originally a fierce general, but Pei Xingjian's father Pei Renji's lieutenant general. After he belonged to the Tang Dynasty, he was appointed General Zuo Wuhou and made Teng County Duke. He has been fighting in the army all the time.

As the main force in the Sui army, Liu Dewei was also the target of a series of aristocratic families.

For the olive branch extended by the family, Liu Dewei did not refuse too much, and soon married the daughter of the Zheng family in Xingyang.

But this marriage did not last too long, after giving birth to the eldest son Liu Shenli, the Zheng family passed away.

After the founding of the Tang Dynasty, Li Yuan also extended an olive branch to him. After Liu Dewei pacified Wang Shichong, he was transferred to be the Minister of the Ministry of Punishment, a regular servant of Sanqi, and married the Lord of Pingshou County.

So speaking of it, the current Liu Dewei is also one of the ministers of foreign relatives.

After Wang Shichong was pacified, although Liu Dewei seldom went to the battlefield again, he was appointed by Li Shimin as Dali Temple Minister because of his honesty and integrity.

So from the fact that Li Shimin asked these three to try this case together, Li You could also see his thoughts.

Li You sighed and said, "Your Majesty has come up with such a lineup, but Kang Jie is still imprisoned in the Dali Temple prison. It can be seen that it is not easy to reverse the case for Kang Jie."

"This time, we can't take it lightly."

Hearing this, Liu Ji on the side said: "The difficulty of this matter is that loyalty is difficult to prove!"

This time, Kang Jie was imprisoned for two main crimes. The first is that Kang Jie condoned his tribe's violence, bullying the market and other grassland tribes on the grassland.

The second charge is to communicate with foreign countries with the intention of rebellion.

The nine surnames of Zhaowu where Kang Jie belonged belonged to the Sogdian nationality, and they were all planning to move inland after the Turks surrendered.

However, due to policy reasons, most of the clansmen still stayed outside the Great Wall.

However, no matter whether they settled in the customs or still lived outside the customs, the Sogdian people were still engaged in what they were best at, and continued to be active on the commercial routes between the Tang Dynasty and the West.

As for Kang Jie and his tribe, because they were the first to attach to Datang, they also had an advantage over other tribes on this business route.

Seeing that the Kangjie tribe has gained huge benefits, the other tribes are naturally extremely jealous.

That's why there was a report letter reporting that the Kangjie tribe sold information on the Tang army town to Gaochang under the guise of a merchant.

This letter lists in detail the daily arrangements of the Kangjie tribe's caravan, and also points out that every time Kangjie's caravan left Gaochang, the Gaochang army's defense against Datang changed.

Although there is no critical evidence in the letter, these speculative things are enough.

Now that Xue Yantuo's original territory has basically been controlled, and Datang wants to continue to advance to the Western Regions, Gaochang is the next goal.

In such a big environment, even if the news is speculative, the court can only handle it cautiously.

After Li You read the dossier carefully, a sneer appeared on the corner of his mouth: "Sure enough, they are trying to disrupt the circulation of Datang Coins by dealing with Chief Kang Jie and his tribe this time."

"This Kang Yandian feels Kang Jie's threat to his status, and this time it can be regarded as a ruthless hand!"

The Kang Yandian that Li You was talking about was the new leader of the Zhongkang clan with nine surnames in Zhaowu. After joining Datang, the previous leader of the Kang clan handed over the big responsibility of the Kang clan to him.

He was also granted the title of envoy of Shicheng Town as a matter of course, and was stationed in Shicheng area to recruit merchants from the Western Regions.

After taking office, Kang Yandian carried out drastic reforms in the Kang clan, and the reform results were remarkable. Shicheng, where the Kang clan was located, also became the center of the nine surnames of Zhaowu.

And Kang Yandian also became the absolute leader among the nine surnames of Zhaowu.

Originally, Kang Yandian's status was much higher than Kang Jie's, but in the past few years, his reputation has a tendency to be overtaken by Kang Jie.

At first, Kang Yandian thought it didn't matter, after all, Kang Jie was already old, but he was still young.

But later, Kang Yandian had a completely different understanding from Kang Jie's youngest son Kang Lei when it came to using Datang coins, and they had a big fight.

Kang Yandian believes that the Kang people need to trade with Western countries. For the convenience of transactions, gold and silver should be used as the main currency.

However, Kang Lei felt that since they had surrendered to Datang, they should focus on Datang coins, and even when trading in Western countries, they should promote Datang coins.

This quarrel also caused a lot of controversy within the Kang family, which made the always proud Kang Yandian see the crisis.

But this time, after Kang Jie was imprisoned, Kang Yandian kept spending money at the expense of all kinds of rare treasures, making the case unable to progress.
