Chapter 19: Nothing
In the Sifang Pavilion, Li Yongxian was very surprised when he looked at the officials who flocked in, so he asked Yin Tiancheng, who was standing in front of him: "Lord Yin, you go and return, I don't know what you have to do?" ”
"Zheng Zhihao, the deputy envoy of your regiment, colluded with gangsters to steal the official documents of the imperial court and then killed people after failing to do so, just now my brother Ding Ming also died because of him, and now I am here to arrest him and bring him to justice!" Yin Tiancheng couldn't wait to catch Zheng Zhihao immediately, so he didn't care about saying those polite words in the officialdom. Pen "Fun" Pavilion www.biquge.info
Li Yongxian said in disbelief: "Zheng Zhihao is honest by nature, how could he do such a reluctant? ”
Yin Tiancheng said: "I don't know my heart, I don't know my heart, he teamed up with Jin Tai of your regiment to steal official documents, and killed him to kill him, now the evidence is conclusive, does Lord Li want to stop me from handling the case?" After speaking, Yin Tiancheng took out the gold medal given by the emperor from his arms.
"Is that really the case?" Li Yongxian was still suspicious when he heard this.
Yin Tiancheng said loudly: "It's true, Yin is absolutely right. ”
Li Yongxian hurriedly said to the people beside him: "You go and call Zheng Zhihao to me, and let him confront Lord Yin face to face." ”
"Master Zheng has been out for three hours and has not come back yet." A subordinate whispered to him.
"Humph!" Yin Tiancheng sneered and said: "I don't think he has the courage to return to the museum, at this time, I am afraid that he has absconded in fear of crime and is nowhere to be found." ”
Li Yongxian only believed that what Yin Tiancheng said was true at this time, and he sighed and said: "It seems that what Lord Yin said is true, I really didn't expect him to kill Jin Tai without thinking about his colleagues." Alas, before my mission is completed, there is such a big leak, which makes me have the face to return to the saint. With that, he hung his head.
Yin Tiancheng said: "Lord Li, please take me to Zheng Zhihao's residence, I will search for criminal evidence." From now on, none of you are allowed to leave the museum without my permission! ”
"I am an envoy of Goryeo, not an atomic citizen among you, how can Lord Yin forcibly detain me and others!" Li Yongxian also became angry.
"Before the facts of the case are known, you and others are all suspected! Who can guarantee that there are no spies in the Mission? Yin Tiancheng retorted sharply.
"Master Li, although you and I are our own masters, but in the current situation, if we don't catch Zheng Zhihao, you and I will be disgraced." Seeing that Yin Tiancheng and Li Yongxian did not give in to each other, Lin Zhifu was busy playing a round.
"Okay, okay, I'll take you there." What Governor Lin said was not unreasonable, and Li Yongxian couldn't argue anymore, so he had to take a group of people to Zheng Zhihao's bedroom.
The furnishings in Zheng Zhihao's residence are very simple, except for some changes of clothes, hidden weapons for personal use, and nothing else. The servants carefully searched every nook and cranny and turned the room upside down.
"Look at this, my lord." A servant took out a letter from under Zheng Zhihao's pillow and handed it to Yin Tiancheng. Yin Tiancheng took over and looked surprised, isn't this the official document stolen from Liaodong, how could it be in Zheng Zhihao's room? This was a fact he never expected. Yin Tiancheng looked at the letter and thought: If the official document was already in Zheng Zhihao's hands, why did he still team up with Jin Tae to steal the official document? There must be something strange in this, and Yin Tiancheng can't figure out what is going on for a while. He wanted to open the official document to see the contents inside, but he also knew that without the emperor's permission, it would be a crime to break the law by dismantling the official document privately, so he handed the official document to the Lin Governor's Mansion.
Li Yongxian's face turned red when he saw the incriminating evidence in the hands of Governor Lin, and he scolded angrily: "This guy is really wolf-hearted, I don't treat him well on weekdays, but he actually did this wolf-hearted thing, and all the face of Goryeo Kingdom was lost to him." When I get this guy, I don't need Lord Yin to do it, I will personally kill him. ”
"Lord Li is angry, Zheng Zhihao is heinous and heinous, and he has the royal law of my dynasty to punish him, how can he be lynched indiscriminately?" Governor Lin persuaded him on the side.
Yin Tiancheng looked at it coldly, but scolded in his heart: You are really good at acting! Zheng Zhihao has been in the Central Plains for less than two months, how dare he do such a rebellious thing alone! Just now he was rescued by his comrades when he was in danger, and there is no huge force behind him, how can he be so powerful? I think you're behind it. Yin Tiancheng understands that he has no real evidence in his hands, and he can't help Li Yongxian at present, if he startles the snake, it will be more than worth the loss.
Li Yongxian suddenly shouted loudly: "The gold-inlaid sandalwood box, where is it?" ”
"What is a gold-inlaid sandalwood box?" Yin Tiancheng asked.
"It's the box that holds the Nine Dragons Orb!" Li Yongxian looked nervous.
The gold-inlaid sandalwood box has always been kept by Zheng Zhihao, why is there no gold-inlaid sandalwood box in the room today? The more Li Yongxian thought about it, the more frightened he became, and he said loudly to the people around him: "What are you still doing in a daze, why don't you go find it for me!" If you can't get it back, you're all guilty of death. The subordinates were also frightened, for fear that Zheng Zhihao would abscond with the treasure, so they hurriedly searched for the treasure box with the officials.
"No need to look for it." A young subordinate walked in from outside the door, holding a gold-inlaid sandalwood box and said to Li Yongxian: "The treasure box is here." ”
Li Yongxian asked in surprise, "Why is it here for you?" ”
"Zheng Zhihao told me before he went out that he was going to the tavern for a few drinks, but he was afraid that he would drink too much and make a mistake, so he asked me to keep it for the time being."
"Thank God, Jiulong Zhu finally didn't give it to this guy, otherwise you and I would have been a big sin." Li Yongxian breathed a sigh of relief, and his heart could be regarded as putting down a stone. He turned around and shouted angrily at his subordinates: "Zheng Zhihao has long had evil intentions, you didn't even notice it, all of them are stupid donkeys, serious dereliction of duty!" Are you not afraid of losing your head? From tomorrow, no, from now on, no one is allowed to take half a step out of the post house without my order, and they can only move freely until they cooperate with Lord Yin's investigation, and if they violate the order, they will be killed! ”
Seeing Li Yongxian's attitude take a 180-degree turn and cooperate with his work, the anger in Yin Tiancheng's heart calmed down a little. He said to Li Yongxian: "Master Li, I have one more thing to remind you. ”
"Please." Li Yongxian said angrily.
"The masked man who rescued Zheng Zhihao today claims to be the second prince of your country."
"What?" Li Yongxian asked Yin Tiancheng in surprise: "Isn't he already dead in the chaos, how can he still be alive in the world?" ”
"Yin Mou heard it right, he told me in person that he was the second prince."
"How can the dead be raised, lest someone pretend to be him?" Li Yongxian said hesitantly.
"It's possible." These days, after experiencing a series of strange things, Yin Tiancheng has also slightly put away the inherent concept of disrespecting ghosts and gods. He said in a deep voice: "But this thief is good at witchcraft, and we are not his opponents. If it weren't for someone to help me today, I would have died at his hands."
"In this way, he may really be the second prince."
"What do you mean by that?" Seeing that Li Yongxian's attitude had changed one hundred and eighty degrees, Yin Tiancheng couldn't help but feel a little strange and hurriedly asked him.
"The second prince was good at Huang Lao's technique during his lifetime, and a large number of Taoist priests were also supported in the house, and he himself received the guidance of a famous teacher, and he had practiced in the Taoist temple for three years. When the Emperor Taishang was alive, he performed some small spells in front of everyone many times to make his father happy, and it was rumored that he would know the Five Thunder Heart Method. ”
Yin Tiancheng said: "Whether he is true or not, we must not take it lightly, he is not an easy thief to deal with." Therefore, if Lord Li discovers his whereabouts, he must not startle the snake, and should report to me and Governor Lin in time. ”
"Hmm." Li Yongxian nodded and said: "In this critical period, the second prince suddenly appeared, and there must be an ulterior conspiracy. I also have to be doubly careful not to allow him to sabotage the peace talks between the two countries. ”
Yin Tiancheng wanted to say something, but Lin Zhifu had already walked up to him and whispered, "Tiancheng, it's not too early." I think it's better to leave a few people here to investigate the scene, and let's go and take care of Ding Ming's funeral. ”
As soon as he heard Ding Ming's name, Yin Tiancheng's heart ached faintly, he nodded silently and walked out of Zheng Zhihao's bedroom sadly.
