Journey to the West from Daqin
Page 159
Lu Buwei has mastered many businesses in Daqin, and he also controls Ting Wei, who is in charge of all the prison affairs in the fertile land of Daqin.
Moreover, even the Museum of Literature and History was under the control of Lu Buwei, and more than 100 high officials in the court followed Lu Buwei to force the palace.
They must all be in jail.
When these people are imprisoned, half of Daqin can be said to have fallen into a state of paralysis, and their supporters may even riot.
Internal and external troubles.
It's no wonder why passers-by are in a hurry and the store is withered. This is influenced by Lu Buwei.
He also saw many people exchanging money at Lu's Bank. When Lu Buwei fell, too many industries would suffer.
The bank will also be closed, because no one knows whether Yingzheng will seize Lu Buwei's property after Lu Buwei's death.
Li Jue could even imagine that the girls in Sifanggoulan were worried about becoming homeless.
Department has prison.
Sure enough, there was still some discrepancy from usual, everyone became panicked, and there were guards outside the prison, while the black armor army was searching inside, and questioned each executioner and jailer one by one.
The arrival of Li Jue made everyone seem to have found their backbone.
The person in charge of the interrogation was none other than Li You. With Li Si's relationship, he was in charge of the interrogation bureau.
It is clear that after Lu Buwei's death, he intends to take over the Department of Prison.
This is the third time that Li You has formally met Li Jue, and when they meet again, his temperament is completely different.
Obviously, at the last celebration banquet, Li Si, as a counselor and military adviser, was also commended, while Li You, as his son, ascended to heaven.
Li You was also very polite when he saw Li Jue.
He knew that Li Jue had a good relationship with Fusu. Although Li Si didn't like Fusu's character and opinions, he was the eldest son after all, and Li Si still knew the importance.
Naturally, Li You would not embarrass Li Jue too much, and even planned to question him personally.
The two entered the original office of Ting Weicheng.
Li You sat in Ting Weicheng's seat, while Li Jue sat opposite, but Li Jue frowned.
He shook his head secretly, feeling that Li You was really worthless.
Ting Weicheng is also a member of the Meng family. At this time, the members of the Meng family must also want to fight for the position of Ting Wei.
With the outcome still undecided, Li You couldn't wait to take the position of Ting Weicheng, which was too hopeless.
Li You said with a smile: "Li Ting Zhang, you and I might be in the same family hundreds of years ago, don't be nervous, I just asked some questions as usual."
Li Jue said: "My lord, just ask me if you have any questions, I will tell you everything I know."
Then he said: "However, my lord is asking, can I let you know what happened? Why don't you see lord Meng and my leader Jia Sizhen?"
Li You said with a smile: "Don't worry, they have relatively high official positions. They have gone to the palace to report on their duties, and my father will interrogate them himself. If there is a prison in the department, I will interrogate myself."
Li Jue nodded, as if he agreed with this statement.
Next, Li You began to cross-examine.
In fact, he really wasn't embarrassing Li Jue, he was even trying to win him over, so what he asked was about ordinary matters.
In words, Lu Buwei behaved too badly, and it also showed that their Li family is very powerful, a strong family in Daqin, with a bright future.
After a while.
Li You said bluntly, "Mr. Li Ting, Lu Buwei is about to fall, and my Li family is your best choice. Once my father takes charge of Ting Wei, you will at least be the director of the court. No need to do the dirty work of an executioner."
Li Jue was startled, how could this work.
He doesn't know how long it takes to kill monsters and gods in the sky, and he still needs to rely on the mortal world to kill more prisoners to accumulate background information.
If you can't do the work of an executioner, how can you make progress?
It turns out that there is no future for relying on Li Si.
Li Jue directly refused and said: "My lord, if you are not worthy of virtue, you will not be rewarded for nothing. You really can't afford the position of director. It's better to continue to be an executioner to shine."
Li You was anxious, and said: "Li Tingchang, the executioner has no future, do you want to be a lifetime?"
Then he said: "Every prison has a Ting Weicheng. If you work hard, after ten or eight years, my father will recommend you to the king."
Afterwards, I felt that ten or eight years might be too long, so I changed my mind and said, "If you perform well enough, I can recommend you as Ting Wei Cheng in four or five years."
Li Jue smiled and said, "My lord, I will not be rewarded for nothing."
He didn't want Li You to continue talking, so he said, "Is there anything else you want to ask?"
Li You didn't expect Li Jue to be so ignorant of flattery. Although he was a little annoyed, he still held back his anger.
There is ample time.
When his father takes charge of Tingwei, Li Jue will rush to curry favor.
Then he shook his head and said: "Okay, there is no problem, you can step back. By the way, Liang Wang's mouth is a little hard, and some key evidence and questions about the collusion with Lu Buwei have not been interrogated."
"Now that you are locked up in the prison, you should find a way to get some words out of his mouth. If you do it well, you can be executed immediately. If you don't, you will have to wait ten days and half a month. Things will change if you delay."
It was rare for Li Jue to have a common understanding with Li You, and he even wanted to kill Liang Wang as soon as possible.
But none of the interrogators in Tingweili could knock Liang Wang's mouth open, so it might not be easy for him to come.
and.
Li Jue hadn't done the work of extorting confessions by torture, maybe what he could think of, someone in the Ting Wei had already done it.
None of them worked.
I'm afraid I can't follow the rules, I have to follow the slant.
Li Jue's eyes flashed, and he was already thinking about it.
He smiled and said: "My lord, does Liang Wang Zhang Er know about Lu Xiang's imprisonment?"
Li You nodded and said: "I already know that the two should cooperate internally and externally. If he hadn't leaked his words, we would not have known that they were colluding together."
Li Jue said: "I have a plan, maybe I can get Li You's words out."
Li You was stunned and said: "What plan?"
Li Jue smiled and said, "I'm pretending to be Lu Xiang."
Li You looked Li Jue up and down, then shook his head with a smile, and said, "You are completely different from Lu Buwei, no matter how you pretend to be. Liang Wang Zhang Er is very stupid, and he won't submit until he sees the real Lu Buwei."
but.
Li Jue smiled, "Your Excellency, give me a quarter of an hour to go back to the room and make a simple disguise."
Easy?
Li You smiled, he felt that no matter how disguised Li Jue was, it would be impossible for Li Jue to get away with it in front of others.

but.
Li You still gave Li Jue a chance to change his appearance.
And he also came outside and explained the matter to everyone. After all, if Li Jue really wants to pretend to be Lu Buwei, everyone must cooperate.
With the cooperation of many people, it is easier for King Liang to believe.
Li Jue was in the room, and just chanted the mantra, turning himself into Lu Buwei's appearance.
He deliberately didn't change his clothes, just to make himself vulnerable so as not to intimidate everyone.
At the same time, he also put some makeup on his face, deliberately made himself look different, and pinched the bamboo hat on.
It took a moment to get all of this done, but he waited half an hour before going out.
As soon as he went out, everyone knew about it.
Seeing Li Jue wearing the executioner's clothes and bamboo hat, everyone laughed.
Li You also smiled and said: "Li Ting Zhang, pretending to be Lu Buwei is not so easy. With your clothes, you can't get away with it."
Li Jue returned to his own voice and said, "So I need a set of ordinary uniforms from adults to increase credibility."
Hearing Li Jue's voice, Li You shook his head again, and said, "Your voice doesn't sound like that either, and Zhang Er couldn't believe it."
Then he asked Li Jue to take off the bamboo hat, and said, "Would it be a disguise if you wear a bamboo hat? In this case, anyone can pretend to be Lu Buwei..."
just.
After taking off the bamboo hat, he was startled and said tremblingly, "Lu... Lu Xiang?"
The other people's scalps were also numb, and their backs were like awns. They couldn't believe it, and their eyeballs were widened.
When Niu San was interrogated, he even said a lot of bad things about Lu Buwei. Seeing Lu Buwei at this time, he was so scared that he almost peed his pants.
Others are not much better.
Li You even wanted to kneel down directly, terrified.
Li Jue's voice came out, and he said, "My lord, I am Li Jue."
Everyone was shocked.
Li You was still in shock, and said, "You, you, are you really Li Jue? How could you be so similar? You can't say they're alike, but they're exactly the same."
Everyone nodded crazily, their shocking eyes swept over Li Jue, even Hu Man had puzzled and shocked eyes.
They wanted to find a familiar look on Li Jue, but the more they looked at him, the more they felt like Lu Buwei.
Except for the voice and temperament, there was no familiarity with Li Jue at all.
Li Jue also deliberately pointed out some makeup powder he left behind, saying that these places were not very well done, otherwise it would be more similar.
Everyone followed his intentions and took a closer look. It seemed that there was something a little different, but it was only a little bit.
And it was Li Jue who deliberately let them see it, and they were prepared in their hearts, so they didn't feel like it.
They didn't think that place was different before.
Li You was shocked and said: "Li Ting Zhang, if it weren't for your voice and your temperament, I really thought it was Lu Xiang."
Seeing Lu Buwei transformed by Li Jue at this time, Li You didn't dare to call him by his name.
