Chapter 424: Three Sessions

The news of Li Tai's assassination soon spread inside and outside the court, although everyone knew about the murderer, but in the absence of evidence and no one committed the crime, no one could stand up and testify that it was the East Palace that did it.

"Where is the squire of the Criminal Department and the Shaoqing of Dali Temple?" At the court meeting, Li Shimin shouted majestically.

Two middle-aged people came out of the crowd and waved to Li Shimin: "Weichen is here!" ”

"Let the two of you thoroughly investigate the assassination of King Wei and arrest the murderer, there must be no mistake!" Li Shimin looked at the two and said.

As soon as these words fell, the two of them immediately lowered their faces and looked at each other.

"What, what's the problem for you?" The appearance of the two was seen by Li Shimin in his eyes, and he asked.

"Back to Your Majesty, my criminal department and Dali Temple are now responsible for investigating and dealing with the case of King Qi's rebellion. And if you want to investigate the assassination of King Wei, since no one has been arrested, you have to touch and investigate, which requires a lot of manpower! I'm afraid that the Criminal Department and Dali Temple are more than capable of doing anything! The squire of the criminal department said to Li Shimin.

Li Shimin stroked his beard under his chin with his hand and pondered for a moment: "In this case, I will order Zhang Yunwen to lead the first department of the investigation institute to come to assist you and others, do you have any opinions on this?" ”

When the two of them heard this, their faces were happy: "The ministers have no opinion!" ”

Think about it, in this investigation institute, there are three sects and nine streams, there are businessmen, rangers, and many gangsters, and they know everything about the intelligence of the entire Chang'an. In the past, many cases of homicide, brawls, thefts and other cases of the Criminal Department were solved because the investigation court provided some key evidence.

Now, with them to assist in this case, it must be much easier to find the murderer.

Li Shimin saw the two nodding, and said to Zhang Yunwen: "Zhang Yunwen, you immediately lead the first part of the investigation institute and cooperate with the two adults to investigate the case!" ”

Zhang Yunwen came out and hugged his fists and said: "Huh! ”

After the court meeting ended, the squire of the criminal department and the Shaoqing of Dali Temple glanced at Zhang Yunwen and walked straight over.

"Master Cui, Lord Lu!" Zhang Yunwen saluted the two.

After the two returned the salute, Zhang Yunwen said: "I don't know what information the two adults want, I will do my best to cooperate!" ”

Master Cui, the servant of the Criminal Department, said with a smile: "General Zhang doesn't have to be polite, I haven't dealt with it once or twice, but I also know General Zhang's temper, and I will be resolute and resolute!" But the assassination of the King of Wei ......" Speaking of this, this Lord Cui glanced around and stretched out his hand, "Please, General Zhang, please!" ”

Zhang Yunwen is also not polite, he should take the first step and walk in front.

The three of them walked all the way to the outside of the palace, and when the number of people decreased, this Cui Dacai said slowly: "General Zhang, this assassination of King Wei, I'm afraid anyone can think of who is the mastermind behind the scenes!" However, His Majesty didn't speak, and neither did the eldest grandson, so when I wait to investigate this case, I don't have to be in such a hurry and take my time! Maybe we can end up with one that won't be able to happen! ”

Zhang Yunwen knew that these two were old foxes, and he was beyond his reach in dealing with Li Shimin and the relationship between hundreds of officials, so he smiled at the moment: "Your Majesty has already said that my investigation institute is only responsible for assisting the two adults!" No matter what you think, you all agree with it! ”

"Yes, that's fine!" Lord Na Lu stroked his beard and smiled, "With General Zhang's assistance, it must be easy to capture the assassin." “

At this moment, Zhang Yunwen saw Li Zhi standing under a step and slowly walked towards him. Hurriedly said humbly to the two people: "I'm really sorry, two, His Royal Highness the King of Jin over there is looking for Weichen, and Weichen went over first!" But please two directions, this case, in the decision to do their best, if the two of you have any requirements, come directly to the investigation institute to find me! “

The two of them were not polite, and said while saluting back: "Even if General Zhang doesn't give orders, I will go to the Investigation Institute to find General Zhang!" “

Then Li Zhi walked to Zhang Yunwen's side, smiled carefully, and showed a completely different smile from usual: "Brother-in-law, Xiaozhi is going to your house today to see those little guys, but I need to prepare more meals!" ”

Zhang Yunwen chuckled: "Let's go!" I said you kid, the Jin Wangfu is opposite my house, and I see my family every day. I think it's going to visit Che'er, but it's actually going to my house to eat! ”

Li Zhi grinned: "Whatever you say, I'm going anyway, you have to treat me well!" ”

Zhang Yunwen rolled his eyes when he heard this.

"By the way, brother-in-law, last time you asked me to intercede for the fifth brother in the court, and when I returned to the palace, my father was really happy, and he rewarded me with a piece of dragon jade pendant!" Li Zhi suddenly remembered what happened last time and said it as if he was invited.

"Good! Hehe, Xiaozhi, you keep it like you are now, and when the time is right, come out to express filial piety and brotherhood. ”

"But what's in it for me to do that?" Li Zhi was a little puzzled.

Zhang Yunwen pointed at the jade pendant: "Isn't this a benefit?" ”

Li Zhi nodded, his head was silent for a moment, and suddenly said: "Brother-in-law, Xiaozhi has decided to go to guard the tomb for the queen mother again!" ”

When Zhang Yunwen heard this, he nodded: "That's your decision, as long as you think it's right, just do it, brother-in-law supports you!" ”

Zhang Yunwen said that everything would cooperate with Cui Shilang and Lu Shaoqing, so in the afternoon of the same day, Zhang Yunwen ordered someone to find people who had been to the scene on the day of Li Tai's assassination.

There are also those two feather arrows, although they are in the Criminal Department, Zhang Yunwen still easily saw these two arrows. These two feather arrows are extremely ordinary, the body of the arrow is soaked in tung oil old bamboo cutting, the arrow is slightly rough, but the tip of the arrow is very sharp, there is no trace of wear, it looks like a newly cast arrow. As for the tail of the arrow, the feather used is the horned eagle feather. The arrow feathers are the top of the eagle feather, the horned eagle feather is the second, the owl feather is the second, and the goose goose feather is the worst. It can be seen that this arrow is not bad.

When Zhang Yunwen was looking for these clues, Cui Shilang also appeared once, and he just smiled and said to Zhang Yunwen: "Hehe, General Zhang is vigorous and resolute, I admire it!" However, now Liu Shangshu is going to Qizhou to investigate the rebellion of King Qi, and he must cooperate with Liu Shangshu at any time, so I am afraid that this investigation of the assassination of King Wei will have to be delayed! ”

Zhang Yunwen waved his hand: "It's okay to do this, I will also collect clues and evidence first, and when Lord Cui is free, or when His Majesty summons me, I can deal with one or two!" ”

Cui Shilang heard Zhang Yunwen say this, so he didn't say anything anymore.

In this way, three days later, on the day of the assassination of Li Tai, the king of Wei, the people who appeared near the scene were finally counted.

It took a lot of effort. The advance party heard the inhabitants of the neighborhood, searched for people according to their words, and then testified against each other through personnel, and finally came up with a piece of information.

This information said that most of the people who appeared near the scene that day were ordinary people in Chang'an City, but the identities of two people were unknown. According to eyewitness accounts, both men were dressed in robes with large hoods and their cheeks in the shadows that made their faces unrecognizable.

There is also one person who is led by the left guard of the East Palace to lead the deputy seal division, but he is leading a team of soldiers led by the left guard to patrol along the street.

Seeing this, Zhang Yunwen couldn't help but smile coldly, patrolling along the street, this is just an excuse, I'm afraid the real purpose is to cover those two! As for the two people, needless to say, Zhang Yunwen also knows that one is Su Gan Chengji, and the other is Zhang Shizheng. Su Gan Chengji followed Li Chengqian very early, both as a guard and an assassin. And that Zhang Shizheng was an assassin recruited by Li Chengqian two years ago.

Not only Zhang Yunwen remembers this history, but there is also information about the two in the investigation institute.

When he saw the name of Su Gan Chengji, Zhang Yunwen sneered, not only colluded with Li Chengqian's rebellion, but even Li You's rebellion. Now that most of the investigation in Naqi Prefecture has passed, presumably this Gan Chengji will soon enter the prison of the Criminal Department!
