Chapter 67: Puzzled

The afterglow of the sudden broken beam incident in Ci'en Temple has not disappeared, and for several days, the civil and military officials who rushed to the court all tensed the nerve in their brains, and lowered their heads to bear the roar of the first person in the Tang Dynasty.

Li Shimin, who was sitting on the throne, was obviously angry, and the case had been handed over to the Yin and Criminal Department of Chang'an Mansion for thorough investigation, and the three divisions were tried together, but a result was not obtained for a long time.

Now not only is the atmosphere tense in the DPRK and China, and the ministers are often to blame, but even the harem has been affected by this air current. Wei Guifei has been sick since she came back from Ci'en Temple that day, and the imperial doctor said that she was frightened after asking for a pulse, which made Li Shimin lose his temper again.

All of a sudden, all the pleasures and banquets in the harem stopped, and all the eunuchs and palace maids also mentioned 120,000 points of caution, lest they attract the attention of the emperor at this time and be punished.

The merchant was bored and held back in Changyin Garden for two days, and on the third day, he couldn't help it. How else can people live such a day? Stuck in a small room every day, she is about to get sick!

Unable to bear it, the merchant simply took the waist card and wrote down the file in the palace maid and turned around and left the palace.

Back in the kitchen, looking at his brother's kind smiling face, Shang Shang felt that he had returned to his home, and his face was relaxed and comfortable.

"Lan Xin! Was the big beam from last time the one my brother told Master Li about at the beginning? ”

As soon as the merchant entered his small attic in the backyard, Su Minzhi followed, the expression on his face full of eagerness.

He knew that there would be a problem with that batch of wood, but he didn't expect it to make such a big fuss! The situation at that time was too chaotic, he didn't figure out what was going on, the rich people in the hall panicked and wanted to leave, and he had to take care of the eldest brother and the green sleeves, but he was wrapped all the way and left, and in the end he didn't figure out what the situation was.

"Brother! Don't worry, there's Lady Lee! It's none of our business if there is a problem with that batch of wood. ”

The merchant knew what his brother was worried about, and he served as the supervisor of Xuanzang's head for the record, plus he had a stake in the supply of timber. Now in front of the emperor, the beam is broken, and the emperor is almost smashed inside, if it is investigated, it is a crime of rebellion, and it is also a matter of duty, and he is not the only one who will be implicated at that time, and the family will suffer if it is not good!

"What does this mean? Isn't that the log the one we put in it? Su Minzhi's face was full of joy, but he was still anxious to figure things out, so that he could feel at ease.

"I heard Li Mo say that the problem is not in the wood, but in the carving." Shang Shang took a bite of the crisp made by Song's mother, and squinted his eyes with satisfaction, "Isn't that wood going to be carved with Buddhist scripture stories?" It may be that someone deliberately carved it deep when carving, so that the auxiliary beam will be broken as soon as it is on, and it has nothing to do with the wood. ”

The answer was studied by Shang Shang and Li Mo when they looked at the cross-section, which was only half smooth, and the fracture of the whole circle was all covered with those carved patterns.

It seems that the plotters had planned it long ago, deliberately using wood to attract their attention, and when they were trying to track down the origin of the wood, they worked on the carving. This trick is the same as the trick that Li Mo and the others played in the court, and it is the same!

It's just that what makes people a little frustrated is that the carver has long since disappeared, and I don't know whether it was for people to escape or to extinguish their mouths.

"Something is wrong with the carver?" Su Minzhi frowned, if that's the case, then it's easy to say! At least they won't be affected too much.

"Hmm!" The merchant clapped his hands and beat the crumbs of bread on his clothes.

"Then did Master Li find out any clues? If there is a problem with the carving, then there should not be many masters involved, and these days, there should be some eyebrows, right? ”

"I don't know! I heard the news in the palace that I hadn't caught anyone yet! The merchant didn't care much and put away the dim sum plate, the dim sum at home was delicious, and the food in the palace was really not to her taste.

"Brother! Don't worry about it, we can't manage these things if we want to, can we? ”

The merchant was not worried at all. If Li Shimin really had a problem, maybe at this time Chang'an City would have been in chaos, and Li Ke and Li Zhi would inevitably have to come to a full martial arts line and speak with strength to see who could become the emperor.

But the problem now is that Li Shimin has not lost a single hair, and Li Mo and Li Zhi also have all arms and legs, I have to say that Li Ke's plan is tantamount to failure!

If you just want to use this incident to make Li Shimin and Li Zhi's father and son suspicious, it is really not worth it. Not to mention whether Li Shimin will believe such an obvious frame-up, just saying that this method of scaring the grass and the snake is enough to arouse Li Shimin's vigilance!

"Has Li Mo come these days?" Shang Shang held the dim sum plate in his hand, and glanced at his brother when he went out, this question she shouldn't have asked, but after thinking about it, her brother was not an outsider, so she still asked it.

"I came yesterday, but I didn't come today!" Su Min replied without raising his head while thinking about his own business.

"Oh!" The merchant replied lightly, then said no more, and went downstairs with a plate of snacks.

In fact, she should have thought that Li Mo was only afraid that she was busy at this time! Where will I have time? The case of Broken Liang is only a big case since the establishment of Taizong, where can he, the governor, get out of the way? I'm afraid that if it weren't for Li Shimin and the crown prince from above, such a big thing happened under his supervision, and he Li Mo would have been in prison a long time ago!

Su Minzhi was brought back to her senses by her sister's light hum, and watched her sister walk downstairs a little unhappy, she couldn't help but shake her head and smile secretly, it seems that she has to prepare a dowry for her sister!

At this time, Li Mo was in the lobby of the Criminal Department, frowning and looking at the stack of confessions in his hand.

As soon as the beam was broken, Li Ke's shouting played a role, and it was Qin Yong who led the leader, but he caught the craftsmen standing on the wall one by one, but the problem is that these craftsmen are only in charge of the beam, and the most critical carver is not in this group of people.

The carving of the girder is a big deal, and it took a lot of thought to carve this carver, and finally the son of the oldest carpenter in Chang'an City was selected, but now, none of the craftsmen who caught it were the main owner.

That honest middle-aged craftsman disappeared like this! sent the Imperial Forest Army to Chongrenfang to look for Carpenter An, but only one result was obtained: Carpenter An's son disappeared more than a month ago!

"It's getting more and more fun! Will it be lost? Li Mo flipped through the confessions in his hands one by one, it seems that this carpenter is mysterious! This piqued his interest!

"I'd like to see where you can hide!" Out of a strange intuition, Li Mo felt that this Carpenter's son, Carpenter Xiaoan, did not hide away.

Maybe ------ there's a place I should look for? Since you want to play with us, let's have fun! It also saves you boredom! Li Mo took the confession in his hand, handed it to a clerk, ordered him to put the confession away, ignored him, and staggered out of the lobby of the criminal department.

The Criminal Department has its own set of rules for handling cases, and he Li Mo also has his own methods, now it depends on who is faster! Out of the lobby of the Criminal Department, Li Mo turned around and looked at the plaque hanging behind him, pulled the corners of his mouth coldly and smiled, turned to leave.

Xiao Qian, a foreigner standing in the side room of the lobby of the Criminal Department, looked at Li Mo's smiling face through the window lattice, couldn't help but shudder, turned his head and glanced at Li Ke standing beside him, but saw Li Ke's face smiling rather than smiling, and he didn't know what His Royal Highness King Wu had in mind, so he shrank his head and didn't dare to speak.

The stack of confessions that Li Mo looked at in his hand Li Ke had already seen a long time ago, and there was nothing of value in them. But seeing that Li Mo left without saying anything after reading the confession, he felt a little uneasy in his heart.

This plan has been carried out so far, and it has not achieved the effect he wants at all, Li Zhi and Li Mo are intact, not to mention, Li Shimin is not as violent as he thought, and he cured Li Zhi or Li Mo's crimes, which made his heavy punch seem to hit the air, and the feeling of having nowhere to focus is uncomfortable.

When I went to the court today, those Qingliu imperial histories under Li Ke, and even a few old ministers who had nothing to do with Li Ke also mentioned Li Mo's negligence, but for some reason, they all let the eldest grandson Wuji, the old guy, take it lightly, and the emperor didn't pursue it, this really doesn't seem to be the style of this old emperor!

Looking at Li Mo's appearance when he left, Li Ke couldn't figure it out, what was so good about this Li Mo? Even the emperor will treat him leniently, intentionally or unintentionally?

"Xiao Yuanwai, it seems that Ke can only ask you! If there is any progress in the case, please ask Xiao Yuanwai to inform the house, and let Ke have a charter, which involves the safety of the emperor, and I hope that Xiao Yuanwai will work hard! Thank you very much! Corporal Li Kelixian, who turned his head, arched his hand at Xiao Qian, with a humble expression.

"King Wu is polite! Xiao dared to disobey his fate! Xiao Qian squeezed out a smile and didn't dare to accept King Wu's courtesy.

God knows what the nobles are thinking these days, he, a little outsider, can only act according to orders, and what he wants to know is not a forbidden thing, and it is not difficult to inform him of any news at that time, where can he dare to accept his gift?

Li Ke looked at the smile on Xiao Qian's face, knowing that this Xiao Yuanwai would not take any responsibility for him, but he didn't say much, just inadvertently helped Xiao Qian, but lightly put a large amount of silver ticket into Xiao Qian's sleeve.

Xiao Qian was a little stunned, and when he looked at Li Ke, he saw the other party smiling at him tacitly, Xiao Qian was stunned for a moment, and then he reacted and smiled at Li Ke.

"Ke is leaving! Xiao Yuan stayed outside. Li Ke gave up his hand, since the goal had been achieved, he had no intention of staying for a long time.

There is no Li Ke in the Criminal Department, and if he wants to know some news, he can only start from these outsiders. Now Yuwenjing is still waiting for his news in the mansion, and it is inconvenient for Yuwen to come forward for such an obvious matter, and only he, the prince, has made a trip in person.
