You must know that this is the city of Chang'an, and in recent times, whether it is Liang Kingdom or Dai Kingdom, a large number of generals and generals who have made meritorious services and received awards have come to Chang'an to receive their rewards.
The hundreds of thousands of Guanzhong disciples brought out by General Zhou Yafu also came back this time.
In order to ensure that there were no mistakes in this ceremony, the soldiers of Jinwu Guard had already started to greet each other from door to door more than ten days in advance.
All the city foxes and social rats who should have been hidden were also hidden. Those who had committed crimes were basically thrown into prison by the soldiers of the Jinwu Guard.
In the recent period, both the prison of Jinwu Guard and the prison of Tingwei Mansion have been filled to the brim.
In such an environment, how could anyone dare to do evil on the street? This is because they are afraid that they will die too slowly.
This is clearly someone deliberately plotting He. No matter how talented Jun An is, he can't just slap someone to death.
"Are there any witnesses? Is the woman who was molested still there? Can the deceased's family find out now?"
Liu Deng frowned and then asked.
"Reporting to your Majesty, the woman can no longer be found. It was just a few soldiers from the Jinwu Guard who escorted her to the Chang'an County Government Office. As for the family members of the deceased, they are currently making trouble in the Chang'an County Government Office. They insist on letting Colonel He Pay it off with your life!"
Du Ziteng also felt dizzy for a while. The family members of the deceased had been making trouble. Even if the Chang'an County government wanted to cover it up, there was no way to take action at this time.
"What did the Chang'an County Magistrate say?"
Liu Deng frowned, this matter is really a bit tricky now.
If this happened in Dai Kingdom, Liu Deng might be able to find out clearly with just one sentence.
But now we are in Chang'an City, and it is not an easy task to find out about this matter.
Chang'an City may not be big, but it is not small either. It is certainly incomparable to those super cities of later generations.
But in this day and age, without any electronic auxiliary equipment, it is really difficult to find a woman in a city with a population of hundreds of thousands just by relying on the people around Liu Deng.
"Magistrate Wang gave the king some face. He said that this matter is of great importance and he can only delay it for a day or two. After one or two days, the case will be transferred to the Tingwei Mansion! "
"He's doing this to save face, but this is clearly pushing things out!"
Liu Deng glared at Du Ziteng angrily. This kid had been with him for so long, and until now, he was still not used to the twists and turns in officialdom.
"Then what should we do now, Your Majesty?"
Du Ziteng asked awkwardly.
"What else can we do? We don't have to count on Chang'an County, so we should keep our treasure in Tingwei's Mansion!"
Liu Deng rubbed his temples with a headache. At this time, there was basically no hope for the Chang'an County Government. He could only place his hope in Tingwei's Mansion.
In any case, there was a human life lawsuit, and court officials like He Junan were involved. This was the scope of the Tingwei's authority.
Now this time. Liu Deng could only hope in Zhidu, a notoriously cruel official in history.
I just don’t know if Zhidu’s sharp sword can help Liu Deng find the mastermind behind the scenes.
"Prepare the car, I will go meet this Lord Tingwei!"
Now that things have reached this point, Liu Deng has to go and meet Zhidu.
The case has not yet entered the Tingwei Mansion. At this time, Liu Deng does not need to evade for the time being. Once the case reaches Tingwei's mansion, if he goes to see Zhidu again, he will be suspected of being a liar in the melon field.
"promise!"
Du Ziteng did not dare to delay and hurried down to order the carriage to be prepared.
Half an hour later, the hungry Liu Deng finally arrived at the gate of Tingwei Mansion.
When he heard that Liu Deng was coming, Zhidu came over to greet him. After all, Liu Deng was now a prominent figure.
"Your Highness, what brought you here?"
Zhidu didn't expect Liu Deng to come to his place, so he asked half-jokingly.
"I don't go to the Three Treasures Palace for anything. I came to Tingwei Mansion today because I really have something to ask Master Zhidu for help. Please don't tell me that you can't help!"
Zhidu is indeed a weirdo. He is not interested in women, money, or even fame.
Facing such a weirdo, even Liu Deng didn't know what to do.
"Your Highness, King Dai, is joking. As a prince of the Han Dynasty, how can you ask me for anything? Let's agree in advance that I will not do such illegal things!"
Although Zhi Du was only half-joking, this clearly drew his bottom line.
"If it was really about committing adultery, it would be too late to hide from you. How could he come to find you?"
Liu Deng smiled bitterly in his heart and vaguely mentioned his purpose of coming.
It's okay not to mention it. Looking at the current situation, if he doesn't speak clearly, he will probably be kicked out by this old guy without even being able to get in.
"As long as it is not a crime, feel free to say whatever your Highness the King has to say. It is an honor for me to be able to help His Highness!"
After hearing what Liu Deng said, Zhidu's expression immediately softened a lot.
"I said, can we go in and talk? At any rate, you will give me some saliva, right? Even if Tingwei Mansion is clean and honest, it won't even have saliva, right?"
When Liu Deng's car appeared here, it naturally attracted a large number of onlookers.
Seeing more and more people watching, Liu Deng said with a wry smile.
"This is none of my business. Your Majesty, please come in!"
Zhidu smiled awkwardly, and then said quickly.
Liu Deng didn't care about him, followed Zhi Du, and strode into Tingwei's mansion.
After the two of them sat down, Zhidu asked someone to serve tea.
Seeing that only he and Zhi Du were left in the lobby, Liu Deng finally spoke of his purpose.
"To be honest, I came here today to ask you for something!"
"Your Majesty, if you have anything to say, just say it. As long as it doesn't involve committing adultery or violating the law, I won't deny it!"
Seeing Liu Deng speaking so solemnly, Zhidu didn't say much nonsense.
"I won't hide the matter when it comes to this point. I have a school captain who just committed an incident in Chang'an City. Chang'an County Yang now says that he killed someone in the street, but I think there is something fishy about this matter. He himself is also a loyal man who fought for the country, so I can only come to invite Lord Zhidu to give him justice!"
Liu Deng raised his fist towards Zhidu and said solemnly.
"Can your Majesty be sure that he really did not kill this man?"
Zhidu's expression suddenly became serious. After getting up and thinking about it, he asked with some doubts.
"He is very skilled in martial arts, but he just pushed the man. How could he push a grown man to death in the street? I also ask Mr. Zhidu to conduct a detailed investigation and give him a clean slate no matter what!"
Liu Deng said decisively.
