"For a small prison head, the court actually dispatched the army. It seems that Li Shimin may have noticed something!"
Xinfeng County, Tianlong Temple.
The iron-faced man stood with his hands behind his back and said in a deep voice.
"Longshou, are you saying that Li Shimin knew that it was the poor monk who killed Jin Wanfu?"
Du'e stood behind the man in the iron mask and couldn't help but ask after hearing this.
"Humph! It's not all your fault!"
The iron-faced man snorted angrily, turned around and said, "Tianlong Temple is no longer safe. Let the core disciples evacuate with me first. When everything is ready, I will give Li Shimin a big surprise! Ho ho ho!"
"yes!"
Du'e's face froze, and he quickly bowed to accept the order.
……………………
"Uu~!"
"Xuan Yin, what's going on? Where is Ye Hong?"
On a section of the official road not far from Chang'an City, Liu Dewei led a group of forbidden troops and happened to encounter Sergeant Youwuhou led by Dai Zhou. Liu Dewei quickly reined in his horse, but when he saw that Ye Hong was not in the team, Liu Dewei suddenly felt a sudden change in his heart. Shen asked aloud.
"Back to the temple minister, Ye Hong encountered a group of unidentified men in black in Shilipo. We were a step late and he was killed! Those men in black all chose to commit suicide because they were surrounded by us!"
Dai Zhou quickly jumped off his horse, took a step forward, and bowed to Liu Dewei with a look of shame.
"What? Ye Hong is dead? All his assassins committed suicide?"
Liu Dewei's eyes widened in shock, and his face instantly darkened. When he was in Ganlu Hall, Li Er had told him that Ye Hong was a key figure in whether the Tianlong Sect could be eradicated, but for half an hour before and after, he had Before he arrived, this key figure was actually killed. The case that had been cleared up suddenly became confusing again. How could he report to Li Er?
"This official has been careless in employing people and failed in pursuit. I am willing to be punished!"
Dai Zhou bowed and cupped his fists.
"Now is not the time to discuss who is right and who is wrong!"
Liu Dewei waved his hand and said, "Are the corpses of those assassins still there?"
Dai Zhou replied: "Back to the temple, the bodies of Ye Hong, his mother, and the six assassins have all been brought back!"
Liu Dewei waved his big hand and said decisively: "Go back to Dali Temple immediately, examine the bodies, and find out the identities of these assassins!"
"Here!"
Dai Zhou accepted the order with his hands in hand, and then led a group of people to run towards Chang'an City.
At this time, Liu Dewei looked at Li Tai, Di Zhisun and others, and said: "Thanks to your highness and a few friends for the Jin Wanfu case! I will definitely investigate whether the real culprit behind this case is Duhe. It’s clear to everyone that there are still important things to do in Dali Temple, and I will hold a banquet to thank His Highness and a few friends someday!”
If it hadn't been for Di Zhisun's wit to solve the case this time, the spies would still be hiding in Dali Temple, and they might reveal a bigger case in the future. By then, Liu Dewei would have no choice but to resign!
He is nearly fifty years old this year, and he is already close to the age of retirement and return to his hometown. If he gets to the point where he takes the blame and resigns, it will really ruin his reputation for a lifetime! Therefore, Lao Liu is grateful from the bottom of his heart to Di Zhisun, Li Tai and others!
Li Tai smiled slightly and said: "Liu Siqing, you're welcome! We all have a responsibility to eliminate traitors for our country!"
Di Zhisun also smiled and said: "Qing Que is right, Mr. Liu, you don't have to be polite, your official business is more important, don't worry about us!"
"Okay! I'll take my leave!"
Liu Dewei took a deep look at Di Zhisun, then cupped his hands and turned to leave.
……………………
"Alas! Unexpectedly, we finally found the accomplices, but failed to follow the clues and find the real murderer! Now that Ye Hong is dead, even if we continue to suspect Du'e, we can't provide any evidence!"
After bidding farewell to Liu Dewei, Di Zhisun and the others returned to Chang'an City sadly. Walking on the main street, Di Zhisun sighed with regret.
Thinking about how he had come "all the way" this morning, peeling off the cocoons, building upon the cocoons, and finally pointed out the real culprit. What a wonderful reasoning, but the result was that he fell at the last moment. Why didn't he feel that it was a pity?
Li Tai frowned and said: "Zhisun, do you think those assassins are strange? They were surrounded and committed suicide with a knife. After being captured, they actually swallowed poison and committed suicide! They seemed to be ready to commit suicide at any time!"
"It's indeed strange!"
Di Zhisun's face became serious. He nodded and said: "These people want to kill Ye Hong. They are most likely under Du'e's instructions. And judging from the way these people act, they are probably members of the Tianlong Sect." Cultivated dead warriors, but how come there are dead warriors in the Tianlong Sect? What ulterior motives do they have? Qingque, I think these issues must be clarified as soon as possible, otherwise the Tianlong Sect will sooner or later be a disaster to the Tang Dynasty. !”
Li Tai agreed: "Zhisun, you are right, the Tianlong Sect is indeed not like a good person! I believe my father will definitely send people to investigate these things carefully. With my father here, no one can overturn this country!"
At the end of the speech, Li Tai's face was extremely confident.
In the past, he might have only thought that Li Er was a good father to him, but after studying outside the palace for more than a year, what he heard, saw, and knew made him gradually understand that Li Er was still a good father. A smart iron-blooded emperor, no one is Li Er's opponent when it comes to power struggles and national security!
Di Zhisun did not answer. After a moment of silence, Sun Zifan who was following them suddenly said: "Eh? Qingque, Zhisun, what happened to the magical magic of turning water into ice that Monk Duhe used earlier?" , have you figured it out?"
Everyone was speechless. This cheater didn't speak for a long time. He was not thinking about the case, but thinking about those deceptive tricks!
After being speechless for a long time, Li Tai shook his head and said, "I don't know!"
Sun Zifan glared and said, "Aren't you curious then? Didn't you ask the mountain chief earlier? Now that the case has been solved and the traitor has been arrested, Qingque, why don't you go ask the mountain chief?"
Li Tai thought about it. He had previously promised Li Zexuan to send the detailed process of Jin Wanfu's case in the form of a telegram if the case was solved. Now that he was free, he really should send a telegram!
"The telegraph machine was left at Dali Temple. I have to go get it back. After sending the telegraph to the mountain chief, I have to go back to the workshop!"
After a moment of silence, Li Tai spoke.
He is now the deputy chief engineer of the killer project. Even on weekends at the academy, he still has to "work overtime" at the "scientific research base" of the workshop. This morning he just returned to the palace to pay respects to his eldest grandson. As for investigating the case, it was just Just happened to meet him!
……………………
"Didi-di-di-di!"
Around the same time, the Palace of the Prince of Wei.
The little fat man began to send a telegram to Li Zexuan in the study, while Sun Zifan, Di Zhisun, Yuchi Baolin and others were waiting expectantly for Li Zexuan's reply.
"Master! There's a telegram!"
Xiurong County.
Li Zexuan, who had just settled down in the county inn, suddenly heard a "didi" sound and the shout of a young man coming from outside the door.
He opened the door and saw that it was Er Niu, that naughty boy.
"give it to me!"
Li Zexuan took the telegraph machine, turned around and returned to the house. After placing the telegraph machine on the desk, he calmed down and began to send the telegram:
"Copy that, Yanhuang 001!"
After confirming his identity, not long after, the telegraph machine rang again. Li Zexuan's strong mental power turned his brain into a powerful and fast-responsive code translation machine: "Chief, the real murderer of Jin Wanfu, We suspect that it is the Venerable Sakyamuni of the Tianlong Sect, who is very good at illusions...
After discovering that Ye Hong was the accomplice who brought the murderer into the prison of Dali Temple, Dai Zhou, the young minister of Dali Temple, immediately led people to arrest Ye Hong. Unexpectedly, we were late in the end. Ye Hong was arrested by a group of people on Shilipo outside Chang'an City. Men in black of unknown origin surrounded and killed Ye Hong, and eventually Ye Hong was beheaded, and the assassins all committed suicide on the spot! "
Following Li Tai's narration, Li Zexuan realized that so many things had happened in Chang'an City in less than half a month, especially the new sect Tianlong Sect, which aroused Li Zexuan's great vigilance. Using illusions and superstitions to confuse the people and attract them into the religion, gradually growing its momentum and increasing its prestige. In modern times, isn't this a cult?
Moreover, this Tianlong Sect is very similar to the White Lotus Sect in the late Ming Dynasty. I thought that the White Lotus Sect also had the White Lotus Holy Mother. Unexpectedly, this Tianlong Sect actually produced a Venerable. Isn’t this a high imitation version of the White Lotus Sect?
What does the White Lotus Sect do? Those who rebel against the imperial court! The hidden intention of the Tianlong Sect in front of him was clearly revealed. Li Zexuan dared to conclude that this Tianlong Sect wanted to rebel against the imperial court!
Let's talk about Di Zhisun's case solved this morning. After Li Tai's description, Li Zexuan had to admire Xiao Di's observation and reasoning skills. Di Zhisun could analyze such a hidden killing method as the ice needle murder. From this point of view, Come on, Di Renjie, who was so good at solving cases in history, probably inherited his talent from Di Zhisun!
"Didi Dididi (Shan Chief, Monk Duhe performed the floating technique and the ice melting technique with water in Chang'an City early this morning. The floating technique has been cracked by a little girl we met named Chen Shuozhen, but We have thought about the art of turning water into ice for a long time, but we still can’t figure out the essence of it! I hope the mountain chief can give some hints!)”
Finally, Li Tai asked the question. After all, he was very curious in his heart and wanted to know the answer!
Li Zexuan in the inn was shocked after receiving the telegram, because he "heard" a familiar and remarkable name!
"Chen Shuozhen? Qingque, you mean that the little girl who cracked the levitation technique is named Chen Shuozhen? Are you sure it means these three words?"
Li Zexuan tapped his right hand, and a series of messages were sent out instantly.
Li Tai, Di Zhisun, Sun Zifan and others who were guarding the telegraph machine at the other end originally wanted to "hear" how Li Zexuan cracked Du'e's trick of turning water into ice. Unexpectedly, after the telegraph code was translated, it turned out that Such a puzzling question.
"What do you mean, Chief Shan? He's obviously talking about the art of turning water into ice. Why did he mention the little girl we saw in the morning?"
After reading the translated code, Sun Zifan couldn't help but complain aloud.
"Could it be that the mountain leader knew that little girl before?"
Li Tai frowned and guessed.
While he was talking, he had already begun to reply to Li Zexuan's telegram: "Chief, it is indeed called Chen Shuozhen. As for whether it is these three words, Tai is not sure. The girl only reported her name, and did not say which three words it was. Character!"
Li Zexuan was silent on the other end of the telegraph machine. After a moment, he frowned and murmured to himself: "It can't be such a coincidence, right? The first female emperor in Chinese history entered Chang'an City like this? She shouldn't have Are you from Jiangsu and Zhejiang?"
The Chen Shuozhen that Li Zexuan was thinking of was also called Chen Shuozhen in history. She was a native of Tongyuan Farm in Zishan, Muzhou, and was the female leader of the peasant uprising army in eastern Zhejiang in the Tang Dynasty.
Around the first year of Yonghui, Qingxi County suffered a flood that had never happened in a century. Not only did the imperial court not open warehouses to provide food relief, it also imposed various taxes. As a result, the people were in dire straits, sold their sons and daughters, became homeless, and died of hunger.
Chen Shuozhen saw the suffering of the villagers and thought that he had received help from the villagers. So regardless of his own safety, he secretly opened his employer's granary to help the victims. However, he was discovered by his employer, tied up, and beaten to death with bruises all over his body. All the villagers watched. In their eyes and anxious in their hearts, that night, many villagers organized themselves and broke into the firewood shed where Chen Shuozhen was detained and rescued him. In order to avoid being hunted by officers and soldiers, Chen Shuozhen fled into Fengchuan Mountain at the junction of the three counties.
While Chen Shuozhen was recovering from his injuries, he felt that only by overthrowing the imperial court could everyone live a good life. Chen Shuozhen decided to use Taoism and secret religion to develop believers as a force for future uprisings.
Later, seeing that the number of believers had almost grown, in early October of the fourth year of Yonghui, Chen Shuo officially declared an uprising and fought against the government. She established a political power based on the official system of the Tang Dynasty, appointed Zhang Shuyin as a servant, in charge of various matters, and she herself was called "Emperor Wenjia". In Chinese history, countless women participated in peasant uprisings, but there were only as few women as leaders, and the only woman who was a leader and also called an emperor was Chen Shuozhen.
She became emperor even earlier than Wu Zetian, so many historians call her the first female emperor in Chinese history!
Li Zexuan couldn't understand how such a "monstrous" woman could appear in Chang'an City so early. Could it be that her appearance had changed the lives of the people in Jiangsu and Zhejiang for the better? So Chen Shuozhen has the conditions to visit Chang'an City?
"Didi Didi (Shan Chief, what is the meaning of the art of turning water into ice?)"
At this moment, the telegraph machine rang again, but it was Li Tai on the other end of the telegraph machine. After waiting for a long time, Li Zexuan did not respond, so he sent another telegraph to urge him.
Li Zexuan came to his senses and replied: "The water in the Du'e bottle is probably distilled pure water. Since there are no impurities attached, pure water will still remain liquid at low temperatures below the freezing point of water. However, once it collides with the outside world, it will quickly condense into ice particles. Qingque, you can do your own experiments to verify this!"
