After I got into the drama, I led the plot astray

Li Jin pointed at the bowl of porridge in Captain Chen's hand and asked, "Who cooked this bowl of porridge?"

Senior Brother Su lowered his head and dared not speak.

Li Jin continued, "Take them both away first, and then take the porridge back to the government office for examination. When the results come out, they will have no choice but to plead guilty."

Captain Chen responded, "Yes, sir."

Senior Brother Su panicked when he heard this, and immediately cried out, "Sir, Junior Brother Li asked me to do all this, it's none of my business."

Li Haoran quickly pulled Senior Brother Su and said, "Don't talk nonsense."

Senior Brother Su pushed Li Haoran away, crawled in front of Li Jin, and cried, "My Lord, my Lord, Junior Brother Li came to the academy with a purpose. From the beginning, he tried to please the teacher and us, and gain everyone's trust. Then, when the teacher was not prepared, he asked me to poison the teacher's food. He also said that if the teacher died, the academy would be his. My Lord, Junior Brother Li is really ambitious, he must be severely punished!"

Li Haoran smiled coldly and said, "Brother Su, don't clear yourself of all charges. You are the one who poisoned the teacher, and it has nothing to do with me. Sir, these were all done by Brother Su. You must catch him and chop off his head."

After hearing this, Senior Brother Su was so angry that he threw himself on Li Haoran, grabbed Li Haoran's hair and said, "If you didn't instruct me, would I do it? Don't put all the blame on me."

Li Haoran also grabbed Senior Brother Su's hair and said, "I just told you that after the teacher left, I would let you be the dean, but you poisoned the teacher's food, hoping that the teacher would die sooner. You are such a ruthless person, so vicious!"

When Senior Brother Du heard this, he immediately exploded with anger and rushed over, swinging his fists and hitting the two men. While beating them, he shouted, "I knew you two had evil intentions. You usually don't let us visit the teacher, and you also said that the teacher needs to rest and can't be disturbed. You are afraid that we will see through your tricks."

The room was in chaos. Master Lu was so angry that his beard stood up. He pointed at the three people rolling on the ground with a shaking finger and said in a hoarse voice: "You, stop it right there."

But the three men were so engrossed in the fight that no one heard what Master Lu said.

Li Jin waved his hands behind him, unable to bear it any longer, and said, "Take them all away and interrogate them slowly when we get back!"

The police officers behind Li Jin rushed up and picked up Li Haoran and the other three like chickens, then tied them up with ropes. The three men immediately became obedient.

The three men all had bruises on their faces, which was quite spectacular.

Li Jin walked up to Master Lu, bowed to him, and said, "Master Lu, you are polite. I am Li Jin, the prefect of Chang'an. I received a report from someone, so I brought people to investigate the case. I hope I will not disturb Master Lu."

People in ancient times respected their teachers very much, so when Li Jin saw Master Lu, he had to step forward and pay his respects.

Master Lu tried to struggle to sit up, but he was too weak. After struggling for a few times, he gave up.

Master Lu looked at Li Jin and said, "I didn't expect that Lord Li would come to investigate the case in person. I am too weak to stand up and pay my respects. Please forgive me, Lord Li."

Li Jin thought to himself, how can I not come? If I dare not come, I am afraid that the position of Chang'an prefect will be replaced tomorrow.

But Li Jin still had to pretend, he laughed twice and said: "Master Lu, you are too polite. Investigating the case is my duty, how can I not come?"

The old man sighed and said, "This academy has such a shameful thing going on. I am too ashamed to face anyone."

Li Jin bowed to Master Lu and said, "There are bad apples everywhere, Master Lu, don't blame yourself. Now I will bring these three people back to the government office, and after a thorough investigation, I will send someone to inform Master Lu of the results."

Master Lu said quickly, "In that case, I will trouble you, Master Li."

Li Jin nodded, then turned and left.

Li Jin walked a few steps, then suddenly turned around and said to me, "Ah Man, come out for a moment."

At this time, I was dizzy and weak all over. If Zhao Jinping hadn't supported me, I would have collapsed long ago.

I shook my head and said, "I can't walk now. Just tell me what you want to say."

Li Jin glanced around, then looked at me, gnashing his teeth and saying, "I heard that you asked Lord Gongsun to write the petitions that His Majesty sent to me?"

I nodded, blinking my big eyes, and said in confusion: "Yeah, what's the matter?"

Li Jin was so angry at my innocent expression that he looked up and said, "What's the matter? These lawsuits have kept me busy and shortened my life by several years, and you're asking me what's wrong?"

I rolled my eyes and said, "You are the prefect, isn't investigating crimes your specialty? Now there is an unjust case and you don't want to investigate it. Are you asking me to investigate it? Can you please be reasonable?"

Li Jin was so angry with me that he almost went crazy. He pointed at me and kept saying "you" for a long time but couldn't finish the second half of the sentence.

Finally, Li Jin waved his sleeves and said angrily: "I can't reason with you. I will go to His Majesty to reason with him."

I couldn't help but burst out laughing.

Li Jin glared at me and said, "What are you laughing at?"

I shook my head and said, "There's nothing to laugh at. You'll just get more complaints if you go."

"What? It's not over yet?" Li Jin was so angry that his hair stood up.

I tried to suppress my laughter and said, "Of course not. There are still dozens of copies."

Li Jin took several steps back when he heard that. Fortunately, Captain Chen was standing behind him and quickly reached out to support him.

Li Jin pointed at me and said, "Do you know that these are all unjust cases from several years ago, or more than ten years ago, or even decades ago? You gave me dozens of lawsuits at once. Do you want to kill me?"

I quickly said, "You must take care of yourself. At least don't fall down until these cases are investigated. Otherwise, no one will investigate these cases."

Li Jin felt that his brain was lacking oxygen and his eyes were a little dark. He rubbed his head and said, "Why don't you give the rest of the complaint to someone else to investigate? Give it to Lord Gongsun. He is very talented and smart. He will definitely help you get to the bottom of the matter."

I stared at Li Jin and said, "Your suggestion is very good, but I don't accept it. If you have any opinions, please go and tell His Majesty."

Li Jin was so angry that he fell backwards. He knew that His Majesty would definitely stand on my side and would never help him.

He wanted to cry but couldn't, so he said, "Ah Man, you are such a scourge for thousands of years. I hate you."

After Li Jin finished speaking, he pretended to be about to faint and staggered away.

Looking at Li Jin's back, I couldn't help laughing and almost laughed out loud.

I shouted, "Master Li, I can't find anyone to write the petition. How about you lend me the teacher from the yamen for two days?"

As soon as I finished speaking, Li Jin, who was walking unsteadily, paused, suddenly lifted up his clothes and rushed out with a "whoosh", running faster than a rabbit!

This time I finally couldn't help but burst out laughing.

Captain Chen looked at Li Jin's back and tried hard to suppress his smile, yet he was still able to command the officers and soldiers in an orderly manner to take Li Haoran and the other three away.
