inside the room.
Li Ke and others were sitting together, and the mobile phone was placed on the table. In the picture, two people were conspiring loudly.
"Your Highness, this mobile phone of yours is really powerful. What happens inside is almost the same as what is happening in front of us."
Li Yuanfang looked at the picture and couldn't hide the admiration on his face.
"This is nature. It will take thousands of years before this thing is invented."
Li Ke said proudly after hearing this.
In this era, photography with smartphones can be said to be a pure dimensionality reduction blow.
After all, the earliest camera was only manufactured in 1839, more than 1,200 years ago.
"But having said that, Lao Di, how did you know that the case would be related to this official?"
Li Ke didn't know the officials in the picture. After all, there were so many officials in the court, and he didn't record the demerits carefully, so how could he tell them apart?
That's why he was even more surprised to find out how Di Renjie managed to identify this person among so many officials.
Can you find out so much in half a day?
"Your Highness, this method is easy to say."
"The old minister just used the elimination method, and then analyzed them one by one, narrowing the scope as much as possible, and finally asked General Huo to stay."
Hearing Li Ke's inquiry, Di Renjie said with a smile.
The case occurred half a month ago, so we can use this as a starting point to investigate forward.
For example, the caravan's route, where it has been, etc.
These contents are all recorded in the files.
It was also in the records of the dossier that Di Renjie discovered a problem.
Before entering Chang'an, this caravan went to Mingzhou, Bizhou, and Junzhou, and then entered Chang'an from the official road.
"Wait a minute, you said they went to Mingzhou, Bizhou, and Junzhou respectively?"
When Li Ke heard this, his brows suddenly wrinkled.
"good."
Di Renjie looked at Li Ke with a smile.
"Old Di, are you talking about the three rebellions in the twelfth year of Zhenguan?"
"exactly!"
"Your Highness, these three locations are too coincidental. In addition, the time is very close to each other. I cannot think this way."
"But these three rebellions, aren't they all rebellions by mountain tigers? Are there other secrets among them?"
"Your Highness doesn't know, but there are actually shadows hidden behind this."
Li Ke nodded after hearing this. Some things are not written in the history books, but it does not mean that they have not happened.
In the twelfth year of Zhenguan, there were three rebellions.
They were the Junzhou rebellion in September, the Mingzhou rebellion in November, and the Bizhou rebellion in December.
It is worth mentioning that these three rebellions were all rebellions by mountain tigers.
As for what a mountain wolf is.
This needs to be explained carefully.
The "獠" people are a human group that existed in the Tang and Song Dynasties. Their living habits are relatively primitive, mainly eating raw food, but they also have certain life experience.
They usually gather together in villages, build villages on mountains and dangerous places, and block roads to collect tolls.
In history, these three rebellions basically did not cause big troubles, and were quickly dealt with by the nearby army.
Since Li Shimin ascended the throne, domestic rebellions have actually never stopped.
From the first year of Zhenguan to the twenty-second year of Zhenguan, dozens of rebellions occurred, sometimes even several times in a year.
Of course, the one with the greatest impact was naturally the crown prince case in the 17th year of Zhenguan.
Li Ke's expression suddenly became serious.
What were you most afraid of in ancient times?
It is linked to the word treason!
As long as you are involved, it will be difficult not to die.
If it is the end of the dynasty and rebellions occur all over the country, then the court will naturally have no energy to care about you.
But now it’s Zhenguan…
Look at who has successfully rebelled during the more than 20 years since Zhenguan?
"Your Highness, what are you..."
Seeing Li Ke's solemn expression, Di Renjie couldn't help but ask.
"It's okay, Lao Di, please continue talking." Li Ke came back to his senses, shook his head and said.
In fact, after it was determined that this caravan was very likely to be related to the rebellion two years later, the direction of the subsequent investigation became very obvious.
Just investigate the relevant connections.
Di Renjie happened to have learned about many cases during the Zhenguan period. Although he did not have deep memories of these three small cases, he did remember some key information.
"As a result, I went to investigate several officials who came to Beijing from the south in the past few months, and finally identified a few people."
"We set out another bait tonight to lure them deliberately."
"No matter whether they decide to bite the hook or not, there will definitely be a certain reaction. As long as they guard the people who go out of Tongda Guesthouse, they can know which official it is!"
This is the plan formulated by Di Renjie.
Judging from the current results, this strategy was very successful. Not only did it successfully expose the opponent's flaws, it even directly found the officials behind it.
The governor of Mingzhou—Zhang Daozhong.
"General Huo, the others haven't moved, right?"
Di Renjie asked.
"No, as soon as the people from Tongda Guesthouse came out, they went straight to the courtyard where Zhang Daozhong lived temporarily. The other people didn't respond." Huo Qubing replied.
"It looks like this is the Daozhong!"
"Your Highness, Lord Di, why don't you and General Huo lead people to arrest him immediately?" Li Yuanfang said immediately.
"No!"
As soon as these words came out, Li Ke and Di Renjie said in unison.
When the two saw this, they immediately looked at each other and smiled.
"Your Highness, please speak first."
"Old Di, it seems that we want to go together."
"Arresting people now is just to scare off the enemy."
"Aren't they going to the warehouse in the south of the city tomorrow morning to transport goods? Wouldn't it be better to catch them all by then?"
…
South of Chang'an City
Da'anfang is located in the south of Chang'an City, close to Anhua Gate in the outer city of Chang'an. Due to geographical conditions, it has become a warehouse area.
Many goods brought into or out of Chang'an will be parked here.
Just after the third quarter of Yinshi, a group of people hurriedly walked into Da'anfang.
"Quick, hurry up!"
"Every one of them died."
In the yard, men kept urging the workers, and wooden boxes were lifted out of the yard one by one and placed on the carriage.
"Brother Zhao, why are you so anxious all of a sudden? Didn't you say that they would be sent out to Chang'an in batches?"
At this time, a person came over and asked flatteringly.
"Don't mention it, something big happened."
"If this doesn't go well, we will all lose our heads!" Zhao Er replied bitterly after hearing this.
I rubbed my belly, but it still hurts.
"Something big happened?"
"Hasn't that case been closed by the Three Law Division?"
Zhao Er glanced at him and warned sternly: "Don't ask so many questions, just get lucky and leave."
"Yes Yes."
The man didn't dare to ask any more questions and turned to leave.
Looking at the busy people in the yard, Zhao Er felt deeply worried in his heart.
