Chapter Ninety-Three: Restless Sleep
When it comes to life, Liu Yanzhen is very hard, he led the soldiers to search in the backyard, but the news came in two hours. Pen? Interesting? Pavilion wWw. biquge。 info
A soldier found a purse under the tree, when Liu Yanzhen presented the purse, Li Jing held the purse in his hand, and did not speak for a while, Li Jing's silence made everyone very strange, Empress Zhong slowly walked over and asked softly.
Li Jing didn't speak, but handed the purse to Empress Zhong, who took it in her hand, glanced at it, and couldn't help but say, "This, isn't this something that Princess Huairou gave him?" ”
When Liu Yanzhen heard this, she couldn't help but be stunned, who is he? Could it be him? Liu Yanzhen's face was cloudy.
Li Hongji was on the side and asked curiously: "Queen Mother, is this Princess Huairou's thing?" It can't be. ”
Empress Zhong shook her head and said, "Your Majesty, this purse was made by the concubine Huairou, and there is still a drop of blood on it, so it will not be wrong." ”
Li Hongji glanced at it, nodded, and said in surprise: "Sure enough, my father, there is indeed a trace of blood left on it." ”
Li Jing stood up and frowned, Princess Huairou's purse fell in the palace, which can be explained, but how could it be in that kind of place? Perhaps, this is just a coincidence, Princess Huairou could not have killed a palace maid, not to mention that the palace maid was insulted before she died.
When Li Jing was groaning, Empress Zhong frowned, and there were some things that he couldn't talk about at this time. But Li Hongji was obviously not satisfied with such a result, he looked at his father from time to time, and secretly thought that Liu Yanzhen was really a fool.
Everyone had different thoughts, and the room fell into a short silence, and the palace maids and eunuchs who were waiting on the side did not dare to breathe loudly, for fear of annoying the Son of Heaven and the queen, otherwise this little life would not be guaranteed.
Liu Yanzhen still led the soldiers to search, and after unremitting efforts, finally, in an extremely hidden place, found a dagger, in addition to the iron hook and long rope used to climb the city wall, Liu Yanzhen brought these things to Li Jing.
Li Jing looked at these things carefully, and couldn't help sneering, there were actually these things in the imperial city, no wonder the palace maid would be killed, Li Jing's face was very ugly, didn't this mean that the imperial city was very unsafe? Li Jing carefully flipped through the contents of the package.
The iron claws were very well made, and Li Jing found a word on it, and he couldn't help but be stunned. The iron claw is clearly engraved with the word "Yang", which is an important clue. Li Jing flipped through it again and found that there was something inside that had an imprint, indicating its origin.
Li Jing pointed to the bag of things and instructed Liu Yanzhen to find out the source, especially the iron claw, which had a mark on it, and it should not be difficult to investigate and deal with the source.
Liu Yanzhen took the order and left, and Li Hongji then retired. Leaving Li Jing and Empress Zhong talking in the house, Empress Zhong comforted him, although this matter is a big deal, it is not good for the body to be angry. Li Jing was thinking about it, if these things happened, shouldn't the people guarding the imperial city be replaced?
After Li Hongji retreated, he hurriedly found Liu Yanzhen, he first expressed sympathy for Liu Yanzhen, and then scolded the thieves, these thieves are really hateful.
Liu Yanzhen hurriedly thanked him, hoping that King Yan could help him. Li Hongji believes that the iron claw is the key, such a fine iron claw is not something that ordinary blacksmiths can make, as long as you ask carefully, you can always find the source.
Liu Yanzhen immediately went to the imperial city and went straight to the county office, he found the county order, asked him to assist him, and summoned the blacksmiths in Jinling City. Seeing that it was General Liu, the county commander did not dare to slack off, and immediately ordered the official to inform the blacksmith in the city.
Early the next morning, Liu Yanzhen rushed to the county office, and the county order ordered someone to make tea and wait for the blacksmith to arrive. Half an hour later, the blacksmiths came one after another, and there were more than fifty of them.
Liu Yanzhen looked at everyone and asked, "Are all the people here?" ”
"General Liu, except for the two temporary family visitors, all the famous blacksmiths in the city have arrived." The prefectural order replied.
Liu Yanzhen nodded and looked at the blacksmiths majestically. The blacksmiths were terrified and did not understand what the general was going to do?
Liu Yanzhen glanced at all the blacksmiths from front to back, and then asked, "Among you, is there anyone surnamed Yang?" ”
Five or six people stood up, arched their hands, and said, "General, we are all surnamed Yang." ”
Liu Yanzhen sneered and shouted, "You have done a good thing! ”
A blacksmith looked at Liu Yanzhen in surprise, lowered his head, and said, "General Liu, what you mean is that the villains don't understand." ”
"Humph!" Liu Yanzhen took out the iron claw from her arms, raised it, and said: "This kind of iron claw is very well-built, and there is a 'Yang' character engraved on it, did you build it?" ”
"Can the general show the villain?" The blacksmith said.
Liu Yanzhen was not afraid that this person would make trouble, so he handed him the iron claw, and said at the same time: "You all give General Ben a good look, if you build it, Ben will have something to ask you, if you dare to hide it, you will all be killed!" ”
"If the little people know, they will not hide it." The blacksmith said with trepidation. They looked at the iron claw and observed it for a while, although there were words on it, it was not something that ordinary people could build, this iron claw was very hard and the edges were very smooth, they couldn't do it.
"General Liu, I can't hide it, with our craftsmanship, although we can make it, we don't have this excellent quality." A blacksmith said.
Liu Yanzhen frowned and said, "Take a closer look!" ”
The blacksmith handed the iron claws to an old man who had been making iron for many years, and who could indeed do it when he was younger, but now he lacked the strength of his arms, and could only make farm tools and the like. The old man narrowed his eyes and looked at it for a while, and then slowly spoke.
"General, there used to be a lot of people in this Iron Claw Jinling City who could build it, and they could fight it when they were old and young, but now they can't. As far as the old man knows, there are still people in Jinling City who can fight, although he is not surnamed Yang, but he is working in the Yang family. The old blacksmith said.
"Oh? Who is he? Liu Yanzhen asked, this may be a clue.
"It's Wang San, who was my neighbor back then. Now he is recruited by Wu Hou to strike iron in the city, and it is said that he is paid a lot. The old blacksmith said, almost drooling, that Wu Hou is really generous, the salary is two percent higher than other blacksmith shops, but unfortunately the technical requirements are too high, and now that he is old, he can only stare dryly.
"Wu Hou?" Liu Yanzhen was stunned, how could it be him? Liu Yanzhen interrogated carefully for a while, and finally determined, he hurriedly took the soldiers, led by the old blacksmith, and walked towards the blacksmith shop opened by Yang Lian.
Yang Lian's blacksmith shop is located in the south of Jinling City, it took half an hour, Liu Yanzhen rushed to the blacksmith shop, outside the blacksmith shop, the sound of Jin Ge can be heard from a distance, the blacksmiths are struggling to build ironware, the door is full of farm tools, in addition to a small number of weapons.
Liu Yanzhen rushed over with people, and the soldiers surrounded the blacksmith shop, and Liu Yanzhen shouted: "Go, bring out the person in charge." ”
"Whoa!" The soldier replied.
Liu Yanzhen waited outside the door for a while, and an old man walked out with the soldiers.
"The old man has seen the general, I don't know what the general is here, what's the matter?" The old man said, neither humble nor arrogant, but a little bearing.
Liu Yanzhen took out the iron claw, threw it to the old man, and asked, "You built this iron claw?" ”
The old man caught the iron claw very quickly, looked at it carefully, and said with a smile: "Exactly." ”
"Why are you so sure?" Liu Yanzhen reconfirmed.
The old man explained, it turned out that the blacksmith shop under Yang Lian, when building, would remove the horizontal above the word "Yang", so that it could be done, and the word "Yang" was disassembled into the real two words Muyi.
"Do you know who you sold the Iron Claw to?" Liu Yanzhen asked.
The old man shook his head and said, "General, if it is other rare things, the blacksmith shop will naturally have a registration, but this kind of thing is too ordinary to be counted. ”
Liu Yanzhen was a little hesitant, the old man's words were very reasonable, he originally wanted to catch the blacksmith shop to make a mistake, but it was Wu Hou's blacksmith shop, although he was currently confined at home by the Son of Heaven, but after all, he was a dignified Wu Hou, and the Son of Heaven did not cancel the marriage between Wu Hou and Princess Huairou, which means that Wu Hou is the future concubine, and Liu Yanzhen cannot provoke the fire.
Liu Yanzhen thought about it, and finally chose to give up, on the side of the Son of Heaven, he could not find a solution, a few days passed quickly, Liu Yanzhen, who was unfavorable, was punished, although the head was still there, but was beaten by the thirty boards, Liu Yanzhen was lying on her stomach at home, wailing.
Just when Liu Yanzhen was recuperating from his injuries, something happened again in the imperial city, and a eunuch was hanged alive, and his death was still very tragic. This made Li Jing very angry, just once, it happened twice, he was a dignified son, did he really have trouble sleeping?
Li Jing was furious, and sent additional men to guard the imperial city, and at the same time strictly ordered Dali Temple and Liu Yanzhen to cooperate to step up the investigation, how could he sleep if this danger was not solved.
Xiao Yan and Liu Yanzhen investigated and found that every three days, someone would haunt the imperial city, and this person was very agile.
