Chapter 138: The Case of the Two Kings (4)

"Xiaguan has seen His Royal Highness King Lu and His Royal Highness King Zhou."

Di Renjie, who was ordered by Li Xian to preside over the fire scene, did not participate in the previous order, and was leading a group of servants to explore the scene.

"Excuse me, Di Gong, is there any progress?"

Li Xian knew that Di Renjie was Li Xian's confidant, and his words were obviously a little polite, and a rare smile appeared on his tense face.

"Back to Your Highness, judging from the results of preliminary exploration, the suspicion that this fire was man-made is extremely high, and the lower official has ordered everyone present at the time of the fire to be taken into custody, and everything needs to be further investigated." Di Renjie is cautious by nature, and although he has made some progress, his words are not too full.

"Artificial? How so? Li Xian knew that this fire was strange, but he didn't have much hope for whether he could find it, and when he heard Di Renjie say this, he immediately became interested, raised his eyebrows, and hurriedly asked.

"Your Royal Highness, according to the results of the on-site investigation, the fire in the warehouse is more than one, it should be a fire from the east and north at the same time, the fire head is ten zhang away, obviously not caused by the fire, and, according to the scene of the fire, the fire is fierce and fierce, there must be something to help the fire, so it can be seen that this fire must be man-made." Di Renjie has a gap in his heart, and his answer is extremely clear, so that people can understand the truth of the matter as soon as they hear it.

"Okay, Di Gong is worthy of being the name of Lao Xing, if he can solve this huge case this time, he will be alone in this table to play Di Gong's great merit!" Seeing that the case had progressed quite a bit, Li Xian was so excited that he clapped his hands and praised Di Renjie very much.

"Your Highness has an overreputation, and this official is dedicated." Di Renjie was not moved by Li Xian's strong praise, and calmly thanked him.

"Sixth brother, Di Gong is the first god of my Tang Dynasty, if this case is handed over to Di Gong to deal with, you and my brother only need to preside over the overall situation."

Li Xian has long regarded Di Renjie as a confidant, and he has a heart to use it, but Di Renjie has just arrived in the court, and his foundation is extremely shallow, and Li Xian is not able to exert his strength, this time the Dali Temple case broke out, there is no doubt that it is a good opportunity for Di Renjie to officially step onto the big stage of the court.

"Well, okay, since it is the person recommended by the seventh brother, I don't think it's bad, so I'll just sit and wait for the good news from Di Gong." Li Xian has always believed in Li Xian's vision, but after all, this matter is too important, so Li Xian can't be cautious, but after thinking about it, he has no experience in judging cases, rather than making random moves, it is better to believe that Di Renjie is good, after all, Di Renjie's analysis and even judgment before all showed his extraordinary talent, so after a little silence, he agreed to Li Xian's request.

"Di Gong only needs to focus on the arson case, as for the inventory of the case, you don't have to worry about it, let Song Xian do it, sixth brother, do you think this can be done?" Li Xian had the intention of making Di Ren outstanding, but he didn't intend to let him become the target of the public, so he added with a smile, and then looked at Li Xian with an inquiring gaze, as if he was asking for instructions.

"Well, that's fine, that's it."

For Li Xian's suggestion, Li Xian was not in a hurry to veto, but he was not in a hurry to agree, after all, this matter is really too important, if you don't stare at it personally, it is difficult for Li Xian to settle down, the problem is that there is no Li Xian's right-hand man in Dali Temple, and Li Xian's people are responsible, but there is nothing wrong with it, the two brothers are now grasshoppers on a rope, something really happened, no one can please him, in view of this, Li Xian pondered for a while, and still agreed to Li Xian's proposal.

"Sixth brother is wise."

Li Xian smiled and teased Li Xian, looking relaxed and at ease.

"You, it's all at this time, and you still have the heart to say this, let my brother tell you what's going on." was ridiculed by Li Xian like this, Li Xian was first stunned, and then glared at Li Xian with a smile, and scolded angrily, but the originally tense heart was relaxed, and at the end, he glanced at Li Xian, and the two brothers laughed loudly at the same time......

As the saying goes, some people are happy and some people are worried, the Li Xian brothers are in a good mood, but Li Hong in the East Palace is so sad that his brows are deep, and his face is full of gloom - Li Hong is very annoyed, not the general annoyance, just because the yamen of Dali Temple is too important, Li Hong originally calculated a slap in the face after the fight, and then extended his tentacles into Dali Temple, not seeking to be able to control it all, and always want a piece of the pie, but I never expected that Dali Temple would be extremely strange and cause fire, and make trouble in the end, The case actually belonged to the Li Xian brothers, which made Li Hong inevitably feel disgusted that he had made wedding clothes.

That's right, at this stage, Li Hong's main political enemy is the military queen who interferes in politics excessively, for this reason, unite all the living forces to block the growing ambition of the martial queen, itself has nothing to worry about, but the problem is that the ambitious Li Xian and the ambiguous Li Xian are not good birds, and the eyes are afraid that they are also aiming at the position of the East Palace, really let those two boys grow up like this, it is bound to be a big tail, Li Hong can't help but have a sense of embarrassment in his heart to drive the tiger from the front door and enter the wolf at the back door. The taste of such sandwich biscuits is naturally extremely uncomfortable, Li Hong is not bothered is a strange thing, he is not bothered, the atmosphere of the palace can be suppressed, and the eunuchs and palace maids who accompany them are even more trembling, and they don't even dare to take a breath of the atmosphere, lest they accidentally become the target of the prince's anger.

"Your Highness, there is news."

Just when Li Hong sat behind a few sons with a gloomy face and pondered silently, Wang Dequan hurriedly rushed in from outside the study.

"Oh?" As soon as Li Hong heard this, he immediately got up and opened his mouth to ask, but when the words came to his mouth, he forcibly endured it again, just with a straight face, waved his hand at the people in the study, and coldly ordered: "You all retreat!" ”

"No."

The eunuchs and palace maids who accompanied them were afraid of being angry, and when they heard Li Hong's order, how could they not hurry up and go.

"Your Royal Highness, King Lu and King Zhou scolded the Chengqiu Shenfu of Dali Temple in public, and detained all the officials of Dali Temple as a whole, the matter is big, and the slave and maid estimate that the palace should also get the news." As soon as everyone retreated, Wang Dequan couldn't wait to come to Li Hong and whispered, his voice full of excitement.

"Hmm, that's the case?"

As soon as Li Hong heard that his two younger brothers were acting so resolutely and ruthlessly, his face couldn't help but twitch a few times, and he muttered hesitantly.

"That's right, it's true, the slave maid has been accurately reported, saying that the two highnesses let Di Renjie be responsible for the arson case, and Song Xian is responsible for sorting out the remaining case files, it is reported that the arson case has made a slight breakthrough, and it can be confirmed that it is man-made arson, as for the loss under the case file, it is estimated that it is more than seventy percent." Wang Dequan raised his sleeves, wiped the sweat on his face, and hurriedly explained.

"Hmm." Li Hong didn't say much, just said noncommittally, paced back and forth in the study with his head down, his face changed constantly, and after a long time, he suddenly stood on his feet, looked sideways at Wang Dequan and said, "Besides, is there any news?" ”

"This ......" Wang Dequan was stunned, and then suddenly remembered something, and hurriedly bowed down and replied: "Your Highness, there is still one more matter, according to the report, His Royal Highness King Zhou took down a soldier from Jingzhao Mansion. ”

"Huh? What's going on, say! ”

As soon as Li Hong heard this, a trace of suspicion quickly flashed in his eyes, his eyebrows raised, and he hurriedly asked.

"This ......, the slave maid doesn't know what the inside story is, but he only knows that the soldier was called by Chen Renhao, the young man of Jingzhao Mansion, and the specific reason is not clear." How could Wang Dequan care about the problem of a pawn, since he never put his mind on it, hearing Li Hong's question so urgently, he panicked in his heart, and hurriedly bowed down and explained a few words vaguely.

"Chen Renhao? Soldiers? ”

Li Hong saw that Wang Dequan was speechless, so he couldn't help but get angry, and glared at Wang Dequan fiercely, but he didn't ask for details, just lowered his head and paced, muttering in his mouth, and then pondered for a long time and couldn't help it - Chen Renhao and his person Li Hong naturally knew it, but he was not very close, and he was not too impressed, in Li Hong's eyes, Chen Renhao was just a middle-level official with no talent, and he really couldn't figure out what Li Xian's intention was in detaining a small soldier under Chen Renhao for no reason, But there is one thing that Li Hong knows in his heart, that is, Li Xian's kid never does useless things, obviously, there is definitely something strange here, but what is strange is not something that Li Hong can see through.

"Go, find out where the soldier came from!" Li Hong pondered for a while, but still couldn't understand what was wrong with this matter, and after a while of annoyance, he snorted angrily.

"Ah, yes, slave and maid will go, and this will go."

Wang Dequan saw that Li Hong attached so much importance to this matter, so he didn't dare to slack off, hurriedly answered, and hurriedly rushed out of the study, going to find out the truth without mentioning it.

"Soldiers? Chen Renhao? Could it be ......"

After Wang Dequan went, Li Hong was still thinking hard about Li Xian's intentions, and after pacing back and forth in the study for a long time, his eyes suddenly lit up, as if he remembered something, but he was not sure, his face instantly became wonderful, and he was hesitating, but he saw Wang Dequan rushing in in a hurry, and hurriedly came to Li Hong, and reported in a low voice: "Your Royal Highness, the matter has been clarified, the soldier's surname is Yan Minghe, it is said that he was the first to discover the fire in Dali Temple and reported to Jingzhao Mansion, His Royal Highness King Zhou took down this person, It is rumored that there was a conflict with Chen Renhao, and the slave maid has asked people to go to Jingzhao Mansion to investigate the roots of this person in detail. ”

"I see!" Li Hong sneered, beckoned Wang Dequan to his side, put his mouth to his ear, and commanded in a low voice......
