103. Cause of death
As soon as Yang Bo heard Zheng Wen's question, he saluted Zheng Wen, and then said with a serious face: "Your Majesty, this Taicang Ling Li Dou's death is indeed very strange, and the minister has encountered it for the first time, but according to the minister's years of experience in handling cases, the minister is seventy percent sure that this matter is definitely a man-made incident!" ”
As soon as Zheng Wen heard Yang Bo's words, his face remained unchanged, but he was sincerely relieved in his heart, it was artificial, as for Yang Bo's denial, he subconsciously ignored it, after all, this Li Dou died so strangely, plus he himself was also crossed, when he first knew Li Dou's death, he subconsciously thought that this was something that could only be done by mysterious and unpredictable forces, and he couldn't help but be afraid.
Hearing artificial, that's good, it's not a fantasy mode after all, it's still within the scope of a normal person, it's just a weird method, if there is a river and lake at this time, what kind of cultivation world or something like that, it will be completely embarrassing, this kind of sign of personal force, Zheng Wen doesn't want to hear it, because of this model, Zheng Wen, the lame emperor, also wash and sleep!
And Yang Bo continued: "Your Majesty, the death of this Li Dou, according to the ministers, is inseparable from the Miao people. ”
"What do you say? Miao people, how is this possible? Zheng Wen said with some disbelief.
And Yang Bo on the side also opened his eyes wide, staring straight at Yang Bo, with an incredible face, not long ago, he also said the words of the Miao people to His Majesty, and now he heard it from Yang Bo's mouth, and it is related to this case, is it really the Miao people?
When Yang Bo saw Zheng Wen and Yang Bo like this, although he didn't understand why, he still said calmly: "The Miao people mentioned by the doctor refer to a race in Dali, this race has a small population, less than 10,000, lives in the mountains all year round, usually with poisonous snakes and poisonous insects, it is a tribal life, prevalent Gu breeding, independent of the Dali regime, this is the record in the books of the Ministry of Rites, and the minister has read this book. ”
"Actually, some places are wrong, this Miao people and attached to the Dali regime, when the minister was an official in the place, he had a careful understanding, the Miao people have about 100,000 people right, divided into black Miao and white Miao, Bai Miao is the main body, close to 90,000 people, has its own system, attached to the Dali regime, divided into the patriarch, the elder group, the holy woman The three powers are separated, the patriarch is in charge of the world, the elder group is in charge of the sacrifice, and the saint is a symbol, and the Gu raising is not as magical as the legend goes, what kills people thousands of miles away, what kills people invisibly, That's all a false rumor, and most of the Miao people raise Gu, not with the body as a medium, just to raise a poisonous insect, in order to survive better in a harsh environment, and only the Great Elder will use the body as a medium to raise the cup, this kind of person can only live to be forty years old, and never marry all year round, when he dies, his Gu worm will be passed on to the next Great Elder, this is almost a ritual, and the minister does not know the role. ”
"The Black Miao people are prevalent in Gu raising, they live in the deep mountains and old forests all year round, with poisonous insects as companions, not with other races, and they also make a lot of Miao secret medicines, many of which are highly poisonous."
"And the death of Taicang Ling Li Dou was caused by taking the secret medicine of the Miao people all year round, this secret medicine is called Le Yao, it is said that this medicine has the effect of increasing male function, and there are no side effects, and the price is very expensive." Yang Bo said seriously.
When Zheng Wen heard this, he asked with some disbelief: "Yang Qing, is what you said true?" How is this possible? This Li Dou died of laughter, I don't believe it. ”
When Yang Bo on the side heard this, he didn't believe it, how could this be possible, so he also asked, "Lord Yang, is it true?" How could it be such a coincidence? This Taicang has just disappeared a million taels of gold, and then this Taicang made Li Dou die so strangely, according to what you say, all this is a coincidence, this is too coincidental, right? ”
When Yang Bo heard this, he immediately retorted and said: "I just said that the cause of Li Dou's death was caused by taking this secret medicine, as for whether he really took it himself, then let's say it, after all, as the Taicang Order, the one million taels of gold that disappeared are absolutely inseparable from him, maybe he is still a participant." ”
As soon as Yang Bo opened his mouth, he defined the case of Taicang as artificial, denying the theory of ghosts and gods from the side.
And this is exactly what Zheng Wen wants, after all, the ghost and god are related to politics at this time, so it is not the result of one plus one equals two, it is the result that one plus one is greater than two, and there will even be a result equal to one hundred and equal to one thousand, which is definitely not a good thing for Zheng Wen.
So he said to Yang Bo again: "Yang Qing, this matter is too weird, too mysterious, I give you ten days, you must find out the real culprit behind this matter, find the one million taels of gold that disappeared, I give you full power!" ”
"No, the minister will live up to His Majesty's trust, and do everything in his power to find out the whereabouts of this gold." As soon as Yang Bo heard Zheng Wen's words, he said categorically, although His Majesty is difficult for a strong man, and there are no clues about this matter so far, he still replied stubbornly.
Because of this case, ten days is already the deadline that Zheng Wen can give in his heart, because the disappearance of one million taels in Taicang will not exceed three days, it will spread all over the upper echelons of the capital, and in less than five days, it will spread all over the streets and alleys of the capital, and after ten days, the surrounding areas of the capital will probably know, because there is no shortage of careerists in any era, and there is a lack of people who contribute to the troubles, ten days later, no matter what, Zheng Wen has to put an end to this matter, and he can't let this matter continue to ferment. As a result, the current situation in the court has been impacted, resulting in unknown changes.
So, Zheng Wen continued: "Chuan Zhen's order, let the Yulin Army block Taicang, and prevent the slightest news of Taicang from spreading, within three days, if anyone talks about Taicang, Jinyiwei will be arrested and thrown into prison." Zheng Wen said a little harshly.
In fact, he also knew in his heart that it was too late to blockade at this time, but he still issued this order, just hoping that this matter could spread more slowly. Not letting people talk about it within three days is obviously a bit of a cover-up and stealing the bell, but in this extraordinary period, you have to do extraordinary things, and who knows if there are people doing something strange here?
"No!" "No!" Listening to Zheng Wen's words, Huang An and Jinyi Wei on the side immediately spoke up.
And Zheng Wen said to Yang Bo again: "Yang Qing, check it, there must be a result in this matter, and the matter of Taicang will be entrusted to you, and I will not stay here, you have to hurry up, I will let Jinyiwei and Yanjing Mansion cooperate with you." Zheng Wen took the trouble to say it to Yang Bo again.
"No!" Yang Bo nodded solemnly at Zheng Wen.
But Zheng Wen said to Yang Bo again: "Yang Qing, what we are talking about today, we will talk about it in detail when we have time, I have to go back to the palace, as for the shortage of money, after you go back, think about it." ”
"No!" Yang Bo said to Zheng Wen.
After Zheng Wen finished speaking, he looked at the two of them again, and only then left Taicang surrounded by everyone, he really came and went in a hurry.
Yang Bo and Yang Bo looked at each other as Zheng Wen disappeared in front of their eyes.
Yang Bocai took the lead and said: "Lord Yang, you have to hurry, this matter of Taicang is still too sudden for the current court, as a high-ranking official of the court, you understand the situation of the court in your heart, it is a situation of cooking oil on fire, no one thought that so many things would happen in the past two months, even an old officialdom like me, in it, is deeply tired, although His Majesty only gave you ten days, it seems a little unkind, in fact, His Majesty has given you the most ample time, and he has done his best, Those of us who are courtiers should be considerate of His Majesty's difficulties. Yang Bo said with some emotion.
Yang Bo listened, nodded, and then said: "Yang Shangshu is right, Your Majesty has indeed done your best, and I am deeply honored in my heart, but I have just arrived in Taicang, and I know too little about Taicang, and I want to ask Lord Shangshu for advice!" ”
"You say, I will know everything, and I will say everything." As soon as Yang Bo heard Yang Bo's words, he spoke.
As soon as Yang Bo heard this, he immediately spoke: "These days, Lord Shangshu has led the people of the household department to check Taicang, has it been very calm? Nothing strange has ever happened? Is there any obstruction? ”
As soon as Yang Bo heard this, he immediately began to ponder, carefully recalling what had happened in Taicang in the past few days, and after a long time, he said: "Yang Siqing, no, in the past few days, our household department has been investigating Taicang, and it has been very calm, there is nothing strange about it, and there is no obstruction." ”
Yang Bo thought for a while, and said: "There is a very special thing, that is, Li Dou, the day I first came, I met with him, said that I wanted to check Taicang, he agreed with a smile on his face, but the smile was a little strange, it looked like he wanted to be relieved, I was still a little curious, but it was not good to ask, now it seems that this Li Dou is afraid of knowing something, and even deeply involved in this matter, I suggest that this person be investigated." ”
When Yang Bo heard this, his face was expressionless, and he thought about it repeatedly in his heart before he spoke: "Thank you, Lord Shangshu, for telling me." ”
After listening to Yang Bo's words, he had a rough guess in his heart, that is, Taicang Ling Li Dou must know something, so his death could never be a coincidence, he must have been killed by others, but who is this person?
Combined with the cause of Li Dou's death, Li Dou must have that person's eyeliner and dead man by his side, and even control Li Dou's life and death.
And Li Dou, as the Taicang Order, a high-ranking official of the court, manages more than half of the gold and silver in the court, how important this position is, if you want to die silently, this person must have an extraordinary identity, and he must have a lot of power.
So where did all this gold go?
