"The imperial court actually mobilized the army for a small prison head. It seems that Li Shimin has noticed something!"
Xinfeng County, Tian Long Temple.
The iron-masked man stood with his hands behind his back and said in a deep voice.
"Dragon Chief, you mean Li Shimin knows that I killed Jin Wanfu?"
Du E stood behind the iron-masked man and couldn't help but ask.
"Hmph! It's all because of you! "
The iron-masked man snorted and turned around. "Tian Long Temple is no longer safe. Let the core disciples withdraw with me first. When everything is ready, I'll give Li Shimin a big surprise! Hehehe! "
"Yes!"
Du E's face froze, and he quickly bowed to accept the order.
…
"Shh ~!"
"Xuan Yin, what's going on? Where's Ye Hong? "
On an official road not far from Chang 'an, Liu Dewei led a group of imperial guards and just so happened to run into the Right Marquis' army led by Dai Zhou. Liu Dewei hurriedly reined in his warhorse, but when he saw that Ye Hong was not in the group, Liu Dewei's heart sank and he asked.
"Replying to the Temple Head, Ye Hong encountered a group of unknown black-clothed men at the Shili Slope. We were a step too late and he was killed! Those men in black all chose to commit suicide after being surrounded by us! "
Dai Zhou quickly jumped down from his horse, stepped forward, and bowed to Liu Dewei with an ashamed expression.
"What? Ye Hong is dead? The assassins who killed him all committed suicide? "
Liu Dewei's eyes widened in shock, and his face instantly sank. Previously, when he was in the Sweet Dew Hall, Li Er had told him that Ye Hong was a key figure in whether or not they could get rid of the Heavenly Dragon Sect, but in less than half an hour, this key figure was actually killed. The case that was supposed to be solved suddenly became confusing again. How could he explain this to Li Er?
"I'm willing to be punished for my carelessness in the pursuit!"
Dai Zhou bowed and cupped his fists.
"Now is not the time to discuss who's right and who's wrong!"
Liu Dewei waved his hand and said, "Are the bodies of those assassins still here?"
Dai Zhou replied, "Sir, the bodies of Ye Hong, his mother, and the six assassins have all been brought back!"
Liu Dewei waved his hand and made a prompt decision. "Return to the Supreme Court immediately and examine the corpses to find out the identities of these assassins!"
"Here!"
Dai Zhou cupped his hands and accepted the order. Then, he led the group toward Chang 'an City.
Liu Dewei then looked at Li Tai, Di Zhixun, and the others, and said, "Jin Wanfu's case, it is all thanks to Your Highness and these young friends! As for whether the real culprit behind this case is Du E or not, this official will definitely investigate it clearly. Now that the Supreme Court has something important to do, this old man will hold a banquet to thank Your Highness and these young friends another day! "
If it weren't for Di Zhixun's quick-wittedness in solving the case, the spy would still be lurking in the Supreme Court. In the future, there might be an even bigger case. If that really happened, Liu Dewei would have no choice but to resign!
He was almost fifty years old this year, and was about to retire and return to his hometown. If he were to resign, then his reputation would be ruined! Therefore, Old Liu was truly grateful to Di Zhixun, Li Tai, and the others!
Li Tai smiled and said, "Official Liu, you are too polite! Every one of us is responsible for getting rid of the traitors for the country! "
Di Zhixun also smiled and said, "Qing Que is right. Lord Liu, you are too polite. Your official business is more important. You don't have to worry about us!"
"That's good! This old man will take his leave! "
Liu Dewei took a deep look at Di Zhixun. Then, he cupped his hands and turned to leave.
…
"Alas! I didn't expect that after we finally found the accomplice, we couldn't find the real culprit! Now that Ye Hong is dead, even if we suspect Du E, we can't find any evidence! "
After saying goodbye to Liu Dewei, Di Zhixun and the others returned to Chang 'an City unhappily. Walking on the main street, Di Zhixun sighed with regret.
Thinking back to his "journey" this morning, he had painstakingly unraveled the cocoon layer by layer, and finally found the real culprit. How wonderful was his reasoning? In the end, he fell at the last step. How could he not feel that it was a pity?
Li Tai frowned and said, "Zhixun, don't you think that those assassins are very strange? Not only did they kill themselves when they were surrounded, they even killed themselves by swallowing poison after they were captured! They seemed to be ready to commit suicide at any time! "
"It's really strange!"
Di Zhixun's expression turned solemn. He nodded and said, "These people want to kill Ye Hong. It's very likely that Du E ordered them to do so. Moreover, from the way they act, it's very likely that they are Death Warriors trained by the Dragon Sect. But how could the Dragon Sect have Death Warriors? What kind of ulterior motive do they have? Qing Que, I think these problems must be solved as soon as possible. Otherwise, the Dragon Sect will be a disaster for the Tang Empire sooner or later! "
Li Tai agreed and said, "Zhixun, you are right. The Dragon Sect doesn't seem to be good people! I believe that my father will definitely send people to investigate this matter. With my father around, no one can overturn this country! "
At the end, Li Tai's face was full of confidence.
If it had been in the past, he might have only felt that Li Er was a good father to him. However, after studying outside the Palace for over a year, what he had heard, seen, and learned gradually made him understand that Li Er was also a skilled and iron-blooded Emperor. No one was a match for Li Er in terms of power and strategy, in terms of stabilizing the country and maintaining peace.
Di Zhixun didn't answer. After a moment of silence, Sun Zifan, who was following behind them, suddenly said, "Eh? Qing Que, Zhixun, what's the deal with the magic that monk Du E used to turn water into ice? Have you figured it out? "
Everyone was speechless. It turned out that the reason this guy didn't speak for a long time was not because he was thinking about the case, but because he was thinking about those tricks!
After a long silence, Li Tai shook his head and said, "I don't know!"
Sun Zifan stared and said, "Then aren't you curious? Didn't you say you wanted to ask the Yamachō? Now that the case has been solved and the traitor has been caught, why don't you go and ask the Yamachō? "
Li Tai thought for a moment. He had promised Li Zexuan that he would send the details of Jin Wanfu's case in the form of a telegram once the case was solved. Now that he was free, it was indeed time to send the telegram!
"I left the telegram machine in the Supreme Judiciary. I have to get it back. After sending the telegram to the Yamachō, I have to go back to the workshop!"
After a moment of silence, Li Tai opened his mouth.
He was now the deputy director of the trump card project. Even if it was the weekend of the Academy, he still had to "work overtime" in the workshop's "research base". This morning, he just went back to the palace to greet Zhangsun. As for the investigation, it was just a coincidence!
…
"Beep, beep, beep ~ Beep, beep!"
Around one o 'clock in the afternoon, in Prince Wei's Mansion.
The little fatty began to send a telegram to Li Zexuan in the study, while Sun Zifan, Di Zhixun, Yuchi Baolin, and the others waited expectantly for Li Zexuan's reply.
"Young Master! There's a telegram! "
Xiurong County.
Li Zexuan, who had just settled down in the county's inn, suddenly heard a beeping sound and a young man's shout outside the door.
He pushed the door open and saw that it was Erniu.
"Give it to me!"
Li Zexuan took the telegram machine and turned back into the room. After placing the telegram machine on the desk, he calmed himself down and began to send the telegram:
"Got it, Yanhuang 001!"
After confirming his identity, the telegram machine rang again. Li Zexuan's strong spiritual power turned his brain into a powerful and responsive code translation machine. "Yamachō, the real murderer of Jin Wanfu, we suspect that it's the Venerable Shajiadue of the Dragon Sect. This person is very good at illusions …"
"After investigating that Ye Hong was the accomplice who brought the murderer into the Supreme Court's prison, Dai Zhou immediately led people to arrest Ye Hong. But in the end, we were still a step too late. Ye Hong was surrounded by a group of unknown black-clothed men on a slope ten miles outside Chang 'an City. In the end, Ye Hong was beheaded, and the assassins all committed suicide on the spot!"
After listening to Li Tai's narration, Li Zexuan learned that in less than half a month, so many things had happened in Chang 'an City. Especially the new sect, the Dragon Sect, which aroused Li Zexuan's great vigilance. They used illusions and superstitions to confuse the people and recruit them into the sect, gradually increasing its power and prestige. Wasn't this a cult in modern times?
Moreover, the Dragon Sect was very similar to the White Lotus Sect of the late Ming Dynasty. The White Lotus Sect had some White Lotus Mother, but he didn't expect the Dragon Sect to create a Venerable. If this wasn't a high imitation of the White Lotus Sect, then what was it?
What did the White Lotus Sect do? They rebelled against the imperial court! Then the hidden intention of the Dragon Sect in front of him was obvious. Li Zexuan dared to conclude that the Dragon Sect absolutely wanted to rebel against the imperial court!
Besides, this morning, Di Zhixun solved the case. After listening to Li Tai's description, Li Zexuan had to admire Di Zhixun's observation and reasoning skills. Di Zhixun was able to analyze such a hidden method of killing people with ice needles. It seemed that Di Renjie, who solved cases like a god in history, was likely to have inherited the talent from Di Zhixun!
"Yamachō, this morning in Chang 'an City, Monk Du' e performed the Levitation Skill and the Water to Ice Technique. The Levitation Skill has been cracked by a little girl we met named Chen Shuozhen. But as for the Water to Ice Technique, we have pondered for a long time, but we still can't figure out the essence of it! I hope Yamachō can give us some hints! "
In the end, Li Tai still asked this question. After all, he was also very curious and wanted to know the answer!
Li Zexuan, who was in the inn, was shocked after receiving the telegram. This was because he "heard" a familiar and extraordinary name!
"Chen Shuozhen? Qingque, are you saying that the little girl who cracked the Levitation Skill is named Chen Shuozhen? Are you sure it's these three words? "
Li Zexuan's right hand tapped lightly, and a series of messages were sent out in an instant.
On the other side, Li Tai, Di Zhixun, Sun Zifan, and the others who were guarding the telegram originally wanted to "listen" to how Li Zexuan cracked Du 'e's Water to Ice Technique. They didn't expect that after the code was translated, it would be such an inexplicable question.
"Yamachō, what does this mean? It's obviously talking about the Water to Ice Technique. Why did it mention the little girl we met this morning? "
Sun Zifan couldn't help but complain after reading the translated code.
"Could it be that Yamachō used to know that little girl?"
Li Tai frowned and guessed.
As he spoke, he had already begun to reply to Li Zexuan's telegram. "Yamachō, her name is indeed Chen Shuozhen. As for whether it's these three words, Tai isn't sure. The girl just said her name, but didn't say which three words it was!"
Li Zexuan, who was at the other end of the telegram, was silent. After a while, he frowned and muttered to himself, "It can't be so coincidental, right? The first female emperor in Chinese history has entered Chang 'an City just like that? Shouldn't she be from Jiangsu and Zhejiang? "
The Chen Shuozhen that Li Zexuan thought of was also known as Chen Shuozhen in history. She was from the Zi Tong Yuantian Manor in Muzhou, and the female leader of the peasant uprising in Zhejiang during the Tang Dynasty.
Around the first year of Yonghui, a rare flood occurred in Qingxi County. Not only did the imperial court not open the granary to provide relief, but they also imposed all kinds of taxes. As a result, the people had no way to make a living. They had to sell their children, homeless and starving.
When Chen Shuozhen saw the suffering of the villagers, she remembered that she had received help from the villagers. Therefore, she ignored her own safety and secretly opened the granary of her employer to provide relief to the victims. In the end, she was discovered by her employer, tied up, and beaten black and blue. The villagers saw this and were anxious. That night, many villagers spontaneously organized themselves and rushed into the woodshed where Chen Shuozhen was locked up to rescue her. In order to escape the search of the soldiers, Chen Shuozhen escaped to the junction of the three counties.
While Chen Shuozhen was recuperating, she felt that only by overthrowing the imperial court could she let everyone live a good life. Chen Shuozhen decided to use Taoism and secret religions to develop believers as a force for future uprisings.
Later on, when the number of believers was about to increase, Chen Shuozhen officially announced an uprising at the beginning of the tenth month of the fourth year of Yonghui to fight against the government. She imitated the official system of the Tang Dynasty and established a political regime. She appointed Zhang Shuyin as her servant and was in charge of various affairs. She was called the "Emperor of Wenjia". In the history of China, countless women participated in peasant uprisings. However, there were very few women who were leaders. Chen Shuozhen was the only woman who was a leader and also called the "Emperor".
She was called the "Emperor" even earlier than Wu Zetian. Therefore, many historians called her the first female Emperor in the history of China.
Li Zexuan did not understand why such a "demonic" woman would appear in Chang 'an so early. Could it be that because of his appearance, the lives of the people in the Zhejiang region became better? Was that why Chen Shuozhen was able to travel to Chang 'an?
"Beep, beep, beep (Yamachō, what is the meaning of the Art of Turning Water into Ice?)"
At this moment, the telegraph rang again. It was Li Tai on the other end of the telegraph. After waiting for a long time, Li Zexuan did not reply, so he sent another telegram to urge him again.
Li Zexuan came back to his senses and replied, "The water in the Du Jie Bottle is probably distilled pure water. Because there are no impurities attached to it, it lacks the coagulants needed to freeze. Pure water will remain in a liquid state at a low temperature below the freezing point of water. However, once it comes into contact with the outside world, it will quickly freeze into ice particles. Qingque, you can do an experiment to verify this point!"
