Unexpectedly, his calculation actually found out that the pirates were related to the governor of Jiangzhou.
After figuring out this result, Li Le felt mixed emotions.
A person who doesn't look like a good person is actually related to the governor of Jiangzhou. It doesn't take much thought to know who the money robbed by the pirates will be given to. It is also possible that the pirates did this because they were following the orders of the governor of Jiangzhou.
The only thing that made Li Le curious was why the governor of Jiangzhou ordered the pirates or protected them. He was the governor of a state, with plenty of money and power. Would the small amount of money offered by the pirates make the governor tempted? Would he be blinded by a little profit?
If the governor of Jiangzhou is really so short-sighted, loves money like his life, and would not let go of any small profit, then the situation in Jiangzhou would definitely alarm the Jiangzhou Inspector, and it would not be so calm.
Human greed is a ravine that will not be easily satisfied.
There will be only two possible outcomes: the Jiangzhou inspector and the Jiangzhou governor are in cahoots and do not report the situation. The other is that Jiangzhou is peaceful and the Jiangzhou governor is not a corrupt official and does not exploit the local people. However, he needs money, which can only be obtained by pirates robbing passing ships.
As for the situation in Jiangzhou, no one knew about it. This matter was not made public and probably everyone died here.
The man died, and under the cover-up by the governor of Jiangzhou, no one knew that there were pirates in the Jiangzhou waterway. This time, Minister Zhou changed the route because of a divination he had made. Originally, they would enter the capital from another river, and although they would pass through Jiangzhou, they would not take this river. www.jiangnanxs.com Jiangnan Literature Network
The governor of Jiangzhou knew the route of the three officials when they went to Yangzhou, and knew that they would not pass through this river. This is why the pirates hid here to ambush passing ships. Dare to act at the cusp of the storm. This matter is very important to the governor of Jiangzhou, and he must do it.
As if he was in a bigger whirlpool, Li Le just didn't want to think about it any further. After all, these things were not something he could control.
He should deal with the current matter first.
At least he didn't have to lie and slander the governor of Jiangzhou just to stand in Minister Zhou's camp.
At this time, Minister Zhou had also finished arguing with Censor Qiu. Neither of them could convince the other, and neither was willing to give in.
Minister Zhou looked in the direction of Li Lezhi and asked, "Master Li, have you figured out who ordered them?"
Imperial Censor Qiu also snorted coldly and said, "Master Li, please tell the truth. Don't lie."
Li Lezhi was under great pressure, but he did not back down. He said bluntly, "I'm afraid this matter is very difficult to handle. The three adults, please spare me a word."
Li Lezhi didn't have the courage to say in front of the soldiers that it was the governor of Jiangzhou who ordered it.
“Humph, there are things that cannot be said in person, but he was also the first person to walk towards Li Lezhi.
He knew that Jiang Ruming might be involved, but he could not reveal his true thoughts. He had to forcibly protect the pirates in front of everyone and clear the obstacles for Jiang Ruming.
That would be stupid and not good for him.
What he feared the most was Li Lezhi's mouth. Who knew what this Taoist was thinking? Would he really be able to figure something out? If he revealed everything in front of everyone, it would be difficult for him to cover up for Jiang Ruming.
Fortunately, this Taoist still had some sense of propriety, and the matter was not made a big deal, and the situation could still be saved, otherwise...
After the four of them walked to a quieter place, away from the soldiers, Li Le said, "I figured out it's related to the governor of Jiangzhou."
Minister Zhou took advantage of the two men not being able to react and immediately asked in surprise: "What? It's actually related to Governor Jiang. This is no small matter. What do you think we should do about this?"
"Who knows whether what this Taoist calculated is true? If he is talking nonsense, wouldn't he be slandering Governor Jiang?" Censor Qiu glanced at Li Lezhi. Although he felt that this Taoist had some ability, at this critical moment, he could not agree with Minister Zhou's words and could only pretend not to believe it.
"You and I have seen the ability of Taoist Li. Taoist Li is very good at fortune-telling and has extraordinary abilities. Since Taoist Li said that it is related to the governor of Jiangzhou, I think the Ministry of Personnel should consider the selection of Governor Jiang for a while. Once we have investigated it thoroughly, we can clear Governor Jiang's name and everyone will be happy, right?"
Minister Zhou's tone was gentle, but every word he said touched the heart of Censor Qiu, making him angry and furious, yet unable to vent his anger.
In the final analysis, Zhou Yun would not let it go easily once he encountered the matter of pirates. Everyone knew that His Highness intended to arrange for Jiang Ruming to come to Beijing to serve as a Langzhong of the Ministry of Justice, and the original Langzhong of the Ministry of Justice was Zhou Yun's confidant. This change not only placed people in the Ministry of Justice, but also cut off Zhou Yun's right-hand men.
Zhou Yun originally didn't find a chance to stop it, but now that the opportunity was delivered to him, how could Zhou Yun give it up?
All this was caused by the Taoist priest named Li.
What kind of omen was this? It said that the road would be unsafe. Zhou Yun believed it and changed the course abruptly. He also happened to encounter this incident.
Censor Qiu was at a loss as to what to do. That would have been fine, but the Taoist priest also said that it was related to Jiang Ruming.
As expected, what he disliked most were Taoist priests. They were annoying, disgusting and helpless.
Since it was calculated by a Taoist priest, no matter whether it is true or false, the matter must be reported to His Majesty, who will then decide whether to investigate the matter.
If this matter really gets out of hand, neither Jiang Ruming nor the Jiangzhou Inspector will benefit.
In the past, he could still deny that Taoist Li was a wild Taoist priest, but after checking, he found out that Li Lezhi had actually reported to the Chongxuan Office a month ago, and the county government had documents to prove it, which could not be false.
I don't know whether he bribed the Lingcheng of Chongxuan Office.
Instead of reporting the matter earlier, he chose to let Governor Qian's son report it. Censor Qiu made malicious guesses that Li Lezhi might not have any ability, but his ability to read people's expressions was better than that of ordinary people. He easily deceived Governor Qian, and thus made Governor Qian believe that he was a capable Taoist priest. He cleared the way for Li Lezhi and even went to Chongxuan Office to say hello, so that Li Lezhi's report could be successful.
This man is so capable that he can even deceive the governor of a state. No wonder he can touch Zhou Yun's heart.
I'm afraid this Taoist had already learned about the affairs of the capital from Qian Zhuo, and also knew the situation of the six ministries, and was even more aware of the intricate relationships among them.
Therefore, Li Le pushed the matter of pirates onto Jiang Ruming so that Minister Zhou could take advantage of it to prevent Jiang Ruming from entering the capital. In this way, he could also intervene in the official changes of the Minister of the Ministry of Personnel.
But even if he knew, it couldn't change the outcome of the matter.
Censor Qiu sighed in his heart and looked at Li Lezhi with a complicated expression. He could only hope that this Taoist priest Li did not know how to calculate, but was just good at observing people's words and expressions so that he could speak to people's hearts.
But deep down in his heart, he might not know that he was just deceiving himself.
But if people are not a little confused, how can they move forward?
Censor Qiu was still firm and said, "Minister Zhou, we still need to discuss this matter. We can't trust everything a little Taoist says. We, the three divisions, went to Yangzhou this time to investigate the Da'an County case under the order of His Majesty. The Jiangzhou case is very involved, and we need to report it to the capital before we can handle it. Otherwise, if we, the three divisions, want to investigate a prefecture governor without an order or evidence, the Censorate and other doctors will all be watching us."
"What Censor Qiu said is very polite," the judge of the Dali Temple also echoed. Originally, he didn't want to get involved in this matter, but if Minister Zhou really let him investigate Governor Jiang, the impeachment from the Censorate would fly to the Majesty's desk like snowflakes, and he, a small judge, would not be able to enjoy this.
Furthermore, what the Taoist said cannot be taken seriously.
The Dali Temple judges did not want to get involved in this mess.
Minister Zhou saw that both of them disagreed. He glanced at Censor Qiu and the Judge of the Dali Temple with a gentle look and said with a smile, "Neither of you believe what Taoist Li said?"
Qiu Yushi: “…”
Until then, Censor Qiu seemed to have guessed Minister Zhou's intention, but he didn't dare to believe that a small Taoist priest was more important than overthrowing Jiang Ruming, and that Zhou Yun valued him so much.
He was willing to use this incident as an excuse to make them offend Li Lezhi.
How is that possible!
Censor Qiu was unwilling to believe that Zhou Yun had made such a fuss and gone through so much trouble just to win Li Lezhi's favor, but now, he could not say "no".
Zhou Yun is indeed a man with evil intentions.
Kill two birds with one stone.
After seeing that Censor Qiu said "no", the Dali Temple judge also nodded and said: "After all, he is an unknown Taoist priest, and we don't know his ability. How can we suspect a provincial governor based on his few words? We need to investigate these pirates thoroughly, and it would be best to find out who is behind the scenes from the pirates' mouths."
At this point, the Dali Temple judge looked at Li Le with contempt and said, "It's good to clear Governor Jiang's name."
Minister Zhou saw that they all had the same idea, and his smile deepened. "Since you don't believe it, fine. Then we can interrogate those pirates."
After the two men left, Minister Zhou turned around and said to Li Le: "Master Li, after all, I am a lowly person and cannot convince them, but I believe in Master Li's ability and he will not make a mistake. After the investigation of this matter is completed, I will definitely clear Master Li's name, but..."
Minister Zhou frowned slightly, hesitated for a while and then said, "After all, Censor Qiu is on good terms with the Governor of Jiangzhou. He certainly doesn't want Governor Jiang's affairs to be discovered. Taoist Li has just offended him. You must be careful of Censor Qiu in the future. He is stupid. Because he has been a censor for many years, he doesn't take other people seriously. He also impeaches our Ministry of Justice on weekdays. This time, he suffered such a big loss at the hands of Taoist Li. He also thought that you, Taoist Li, calculated the matter of Governor Jiang in order to make friends with me. I am afraid that Censor Qiu will cause trouble for you after you go to the capital."
"And the judges of the Dali Temple are always gossipy. If they tell the people in the capital about the Taoist priest offending Censor Qiu, it will cause unnecessary trouble for the Taoist priest. All this is my fault. If Taoist priest Li encounters any trouble, you can come to me."
Li Le just nodded, neither saying yes nor no.
He knew that if he revealed the matter of the Jiangzhou governor, he would offend Censor Qiu. He had already offended him once, so it would not matter if he offended him again.
He mentioned the name of the governor of Jiangzhou because he really calculated it, and not for any other reason. Whether he believed it or not was not something a small person like him could interfere with.
All he wanted now was to get to the capital as soon as possible, make a name for himself, and make Censor Qiu and others cautious.
It would be best if you could catch the emperor’s eye.
And some of the pirates finally couldn't bear the torture and confessed.
