Di Yusen does have a lot of skills. Perhaps in today's world, he is not the best at solving crimes, but at least he is among the top.

Extremely knowledgeable about all aspects of solving crimes.

Initially, he suspected that the military general was responsible, but after repeated investigations, he found that if it was a military general who secretly carried out the attack, there would be absolutely no trace of it, and remote control would be even more impossible.

Di Yusen would not believe it if he did not personally take charge of such a major event as killing the capital commander and assassinating His Majesty.

Among the civil servants, there were actually many who disliked him, but in the end, the person he was most suspicious of was Liu Renxiang, the head of the civil service department.

Obviously there was nothing suspicious about Liu Renxiang, but Di Yusen's intuition told him that Liu Renxiang was the mastermind behind the scenes.

After having this conjecture, the next thing to do is to find his motive.

The biggest factor among them is Liu Renxiang's appearance.

He is very healthy and his blood is rosy.

It doesn't seem like a big problem, but this is the most abnormal thing.

You must know that before the salary reform, the salaries of officials in the Ming Dynasty were so scarce that eating meat was a rare thing for officials in the Ming Dynasty, especially the capital.

Therefore, here in the capital, you can see that many ministers are talented and live a difficult life.

On the other hand, Liu Renxiang not only lacks the aroma of food, but is actually strong and strong.

From what Liu Renxiang said, it was because he was the only one in the family who didn't even need servants, so he ate all the money he saved.

But Di Yusen found out that last year, there were servants in Liu Renxiang's home, and there was not just one, but as many as three.

But later it was said that he was fired.

Di Yusen didn't believe it, so he went to find the old man in Yahang, asked for the servant's address, and conducted a secret investigation.

Originally I wanted to find out some secrets, but the place I wrote to said that these servants had not returned to their hometowns and had always been in the capital.

This is a bit strange.

It is naturally impossible for a servant to disappear for no reason, so Di Yusen visited Liu Renxiang again on this matter.

Liu Renxiang acted very surprised. He gave him severance money, but why didn't he return to his hometown?

"I never thought that the old servant who had been following me for many years would actually be missing."

"This matter must not be tolerated easily. Please help me to seek justice for him, Mr. Di County!"

Liu Renxiang immediately chose to report to the official, that is, to report to the official Di Yusen, requesting to find the servant who had been following him for many years, whether he was dead or alive.

But these days, if someone who has disappeared for more than half a year encounters a robber or something on the road, it is completely normal, and there is no possibility of looking for him.

At the moment, I could only respond verbally, but there was no reason to ask again.

Di Yusen then went to Jin Yiwei for help.

Jinyiwei has creation files for all high-ranking officials in the capital.

And in the file, it is indeed recorded that Liu Renxiang dismissed his servants.

There is a butler and two servants, both from out of town.

It even records the amount of money given to each person. In such a situation, it should not be faked.

It seems that the clues have been broken, but in fact more discoveries have been made.

Because the time when the servants were dismissed happened to be the time when the rumor case occurred.

At that time, not only the capital, but also all the government forces were chasing Shanxi merchants. Whenever Shanxi merchants saw them, they would arrest them and kill many of them.

If you want to say who is the most ruthless, His Majesty and his grandson, perhaps Shanxi merchants will be ranked first, and no one will be ranked second.

This raises the possibility of whether Liu Renxiang colluded with Shanxi merchants.

During the period of the rumor case, Jinyiwei's supervision of officials and nobles was weak because of the problems with Shanxi merchants.

Except for some important ministers and nobles, others are naturally not so strict and will take away their hands.

Di Yusen felt that Liu Renxiang had contact with Shanxi merchants at this time, and several servants who seemed to have disappeared and been dismissed were actually silenced by Liu Renxiang.

Of course, you don't need to do it yourself. With the ability of Shanxi merchants, it is really easy to make a few ordinary people disappear quietly. It has been so long that there is no way to investigate.

However, once the context is deduced, it will naturally become much easier to find evidence.

Since it is colluding with Shanxi merchants, it will be clear if we check the situation of Shanxi merchants.

Nowadays in the capital, takeout is becoming more and more prosperous, and many wealthy families have the habit of ordering meals in restaurants.

When Liu Renxiang had no one to cook, he naturally had the food delivered by the restaurant. But Liu Renxiang was different from others. Ordinary people would order food from one restaurant for a long time, but Liu Renxiang ordered food from three restaurants at the same time.

A rotation takes place every three days.

In the eyes of ordinary people, Liu Renxiang likes the different tastes of the three restaurants, but in the eyes of Di Yusen, this is a bit obvious.

After checking the details of the three restaurants, none of them had any connection with Shanxi merchants, so the problem lies with the delivery boy.

After some secret investigation, the waiter at Zui Xianju Restaurant caught Di Yusen's eye.

Delivering food is usually in a hurry. After all, when the food is cold, it won’t taste good and the signboard will be easily damaged.

Only the boy from Zuixianju would deliberately bypass a section of the road and take another alley to pass through when he was delivering.

This route is obviously wrong.

After becoming suspicious, Di Yusen directly contacted Jin Yiwei's people and arrested them when they were about to arrive at Liu Renxiang's residence via a detour.

But when Jin Yiwei revealed his identity, the young man didn't dare to hide it at all, so he confessed everything.

Someone asked him to go to a place specifically to get the envelope when delivering food.

The envelope was placed in a small wooden tube, and the small wooden tube was hidden in the belly of the fish that Liu Renxiang ordered every time.

.....

"Are you sure he will come?"

Zhu Ying sat by the window, looking at the night view of the Qinhuai River, and asked Di Yusen opposite.

Di Yusen sat half-assed on the edge and replied respectfully: "He will definitely come over."

Zhuying nodded.

In the white room today, he received a report from Di Yusen, saying that he had discovered the murder of four capital commanders and the real culprit behind the assassination.

And provided corresponding evidence and a series of speculations, and finally set up a trap for him to get in.

And this person is Liu Renxiang, the head of the Ministry of Personnel.

To be honest, Zhu Ying really didn't have much impression of Liu Renxiang. There were too many bosses in various ministries. Although they went to court every day, they rarely said that it was their turn to stand up and speak.

Don't think that just because you can stand in the Fengtian Palace, you are qualified to communicate with the emperor every day. It is often like some low-level officials who are rarely qualified to perform.

Especially those in the back row, basically every morning in the morning, they belong to an audience.

Just listen when there is a general meeting, and then act according to the emperor's wishes, and understand some of the emperor's and your boss's ideas.

Generally, those who can communicate with the emperor frequently are the bosses of various departments. Unless ordinary officials perform well, they basically accept questions passively.

Liu Renxiang is like this, and he is low-key, so his presence is very low.

"I didn't expect that a small chief of staff could have such great energy. Not only could he secretly murder four commanders, he could also assassinate them. It's really audacious."

Zhu Ying sighed somewhat. After carefully looking at Di Yusen's evidence, he already knew the details of the matter.

It's just that the real murderer is just a chief official, which is quite surprising.

"Reporting to your Highness, this is something I didn't expect." Di Yusen hesitated for a moment and then replied.

In fact, Zhu Ying said this to himself, but as a courtier, Di Yusen did not answer after His Highness Taisun spoke, which was considered rude.

Zhu Ying turned around, looked at Di Yusen and said, "If I know about this matter, you will definitely get to the bottom of it. With such a case, I originally thought it would be quite difficult, or it might be impossible this year."

"I didn't expect you to really surprise me. It only took less than four months to investigate such a major case."

"At present, whether it is the Public Security Department or the Jin Yiwei, there are many experts in investigating the case. They are also constantly investigating in secret, but so far they have not gained anything."

"This Liu Renxiang is extremely cunning and cautious. He has never come forward and is very secretive in his work. Even so, he still cannot escape your pursuit."

"Di Yusen, you are very good. I did not misjudge you."

Zhu Ying was indeed very satisfied.

For the Ming Dynasty, especially the current Ming Dynasty, it feels a bit low to say that it is hungry for talents. In all aspects of development, a large number of outstanding talents are needed.

Among them, talents like Di Yusen are the most rare.

This is not something that can only be learned by studying. It involves many influences, and the most important thing is to be able to uphold the impartiality of the court to the outside world.

This is not only a matter of experience, but also requires extremely high IQ.

Allowing those who violate the laws of the Ming Dynasty to accept sanctions and maintaining the dignity of the law are extremely important to Zhu Ying's idea of ​​governing the country according to law.

When Di Yusen heard His Highness Taisun's praise, he quickly stood up from his seat and stood aside, bowing deeply: "I can't believe His Highness Taisun's praise."

Zhu Ying smiled and waved her hand to let him continue: "Yes, he is quite modest."

Then asked; "How old are you this year."

Di Yusen said quickly: "I am now thirty-five this year."

Zhu Ying nodded. Thirty-five is a very good age. He is at his physical peak and has considerable experience.

Especially people like Di Yusen who have rich experience in grassroots work before. They will not be easily deceived and will have their own ideas and thoughts when dealing with many things.

It was at this moment that a burst of shouting suddenly sounded outside.

Zhu Ying turned around and saw that it was Liu Renxiang who came as agreed, but was caught by the Jin Yiwei.

At this point, things have come to an end.

However, Zhu Ying had no intention of looking at it and stood up and said, "Okay, that's it for today. This case can be considered truly settled."

"Yusen, after tomorrow morning, come to my Kunning Palace."

When Di Yusen saw His Highness Taisun getting up, he quickly followed suit and bowed. After hearing this, he said respectfully: "I sincerely obey His Majesty Taisun's order."

.....

Liu Renxiang's matter was all explained that night just because he couldn't stand the interrogation.

He has a resolute character, but there are some tricks in prison that cannot be overcome by strong willpower.

It is the ultimate torture of the body. In this regard, many skills are inherited, which are simply beyond the imagination of ordinary people.

Liu Renxiang originally thought that he would never say anything, but within an hour, he wanted to die.

Wanting to die is not an easy thing.

For example, in some martial arts, it seems very simple to bite one's tongue and commit suicide.

In fact, you can't die by biting your tongue.

The tongue is the place with the most pain-sensing nerves. Even if someone really has the courage and will, they will not die on the spot.

On the contrary, among punishments, there is a name called tongue pulling.

Use pliers to hold the soft tongue, and then use a red-hot iron to burn the tongue.

After receiving the information, the Jin Yiwei immediately dispatched to arrest the relevant hidden Shanxi merchants.

Late at night, the complete information was sent to Qianqing Palace, and Zhu Ying was also waiting for the information to come over.

After reading the information, Zhu Yuanzhang snorted coldly: "It is not a pity that the remnants of the Hu Party should die. Shanxi merchants dare to secretly cause chaos in the imperial court."

"It is our decree that all those involved will be punished by the Nine Tribes and cannot be tolerated."

After reading the information, Zhu Ying also shook his head slightly. It was inevitable to eliminate the root cause. Although many innocent people were involved, in today's era, the only option was to kill.

Zhu Yuanzhang then said to Da Sun: "It seems that the one you selected is called Di Yusen. He is indeed good. Such a major case was solved by him alone. He is a talented person."

"How does Dasun plan to arrange him in the future?"

Zhu Ying replied: "Zhan Shi's Mansion now has no leader and is almost turning into a Qingshui Yamen. My grandson is thinking about developing James Mansion."

"Di Yusen has made great achievements now and has many years of experience. He is at his peak at the age of thirty-five. It seems to my grandson that James is very suitable for the position."

There is one official third-rank Zhanshi in the James Mansion, one person is the fourth-rank junior Zhanshi, and one is the sixth-rank official.

Zhu Ying's intention was naturally to let him serve as a third-grade Zhanshi.

Zhu Yuanzhang nodded slightly when he heard this.

The third rank can be said to be an important minister in the court. It is unprecedented for a minister who is only thirty-five years old to hold such an important position.

However, Zhu Yuanzhang did not reject Zhu Ying's opinion.

In ancient times, Gan Luo paid homage to the prime minister at the age of twelve, and it was exactly what the court needed when he sent talents of any kind.

Judging from the current case, Di Yusen does have this talent.

After the morning meeting the next day, Di Yusen arrived in front of Kunning Palace early.

Under the leadership of the eunuch Guo Zhong, the eunuch Bingbi, the eunuch, they came to the main hall of Kunning Palace.

Although Zhu Ying was the grandson and the crown prince of the Ming Dynasty, he actually had no power to appoint officials.

After obtaining the old man's consent, Zhan Hui, the Minister of Civil Affairs, quickly went through the process and handed over the appointment document.

Di Yusen took the document and kowtowed to express his gratitude.

It can't be said that he has risen to the top level even if he is in the third grade. He really has reached the sky in one step.
