"Yang Guozhong is treacherous and scheming, according to the old man's guess, the reason why he did this was to curry favor with Li Linfu. In fact, it is true that Li Linfu looked down on Yang Guozhong before, but after this incident, Li Linfu greatly appreciated Yang Guozhong and strongly recommended him to the saint. This person can become today's prime minister step by step from a gangster in the market, and his scheming is far deeper than ordinary people. Master Li, you must be wary of this person! After Luo Zhong said this, he coughed violently.

Li Canghai nodded, he knew this better than anyone else.

"Yang Guozhong, Li Linfu, if I am not mistaken, those witnesses who identified General Qin should also be their people, right?" Li Canghai frowned and said.

"Yes, this is the suspicion that we found when we tried this case back then, they were all Li Linfu's disciples. Back then, everyone knew that Li Linfu and Qin Fu were at odds, but in fact, at the beginning of this case, the old man suspected that Li Linfu was playing ghosts, but Li Linfu was in power, and we were just guessing, so we could only delay the time as much as possible. But unexpectedly, in the end, General Qin still could not escape this catastrophe. Luo Zhong sighed.

Li Canghai knew it in his heart, he finally figured out the general situation of the matter, and now he can be sure that all this is Li Linfu's trick, and the purpose is self-evident, that is, to get rid of Qin Fu, a thorn in his side.

Qin Fuyuan is at the border pass, with heavy troops in his hands, and Li Linfu can't help him, but if he leaves the border pass, Li Linfu can easily get rid of him.

"If that's the case, presumably the news that made Qin Fu return to Luoyang is also fake." Li Canghai secretly guessed.

He closed his eyes and went through everything in his head. When he opened his eyes again, a smile tugged at the corner of his mouth.

About what happened fourteen years ago. He already knew that the rest of the matter was relatively simple.

"Oh. By the way, after General Qin's house was raided and destroyed, we left some so-called 'physical evidence', and those 'physical evidence' were hidden in the evidence room of Luoyang Mansion. The objects were sealed in a wooden box with a peony carved on it. Luo Zhong thought for a moment. Said with difficulty.

Li Canghai's eyes suddenly lit up, and he said in surprise: "Those things are still there?" ”

"When I resigned, I went to Luoyang Mansion, and those things were still there at that time. However, it is unknown whether such a long time has passed and whether it still exists today. Luo Zhong sighed.

Li Canghai thought for a moment, immediately made a decision, and bowed deeply to Luo Zhong. He said solemnly: "Senior, Li Canghai will never live up to your trust. Now I need to go and find those 'physical evidence' immediately, and the junior is leaving! ”

Luo Zhong's cloudy eyes shone brightly. He said slightly: "Master Li, the old man can say these things before he dies, and he is already dead without regrets." General Qin has been wronged for 14 years. Whether or not you can avenge Zhaoxue depends on Lord Li! ”

said. Luo Zhong forcibly supported his body, wanting to sit up and salute him.

"Seniors don't have to be polite. The younger generation must do their best to let the truth come to light! Li Canghai said seriously.

Luo Zhong laughed, the corners of his eyes were moist, and he nodded: "The old man believes in you." ”

A few simple words made Li Canghai's heart ripple.

He originally thought that the three law divisions were the same as Li Linfu, and conspired to frame Qin Fu. Only now did he know that each of the three Dharma Divisions was a loyal and righteous person, and they did not give up the truth because of fear, nor did they compromise because of the years, and in their hearts, they always adhered to justice.

There is a story of 'a promise of a thousand gold', but before that, he had only heard the story, but he didn't think so.

It wasn't until he met these people one after another that he realized that 'a promise of a thousand gold' was not just a story.

In order to repay his kindness, Xiong Asi was not afraid of being implicated, risked his life to collect the body of the Qin family, and worshiped him for 14 years, without interruption.

And the three law divisions and Luoyang Mansion Yin, who presided over the case back then, failed to save Qin Fu, but they adhered to justice, and this guard was fourteen years, just to one day be able to make the truth public to the world.

In addition to being moved, Li Canghai received more responsibility, the responsibility of justice!

When leaving Luo's house, Li Canghai stuffed all the silver taels on his body to Luo Tong.

He could see that Luo Zhong was terminally ill and had little time to live. All he can do is to do his best to make this loyal man have no regrets at the end of his life, so he has to step up his search for the truth.

The two hurried to Luoyang Mansion, and after coming to Luoyang Mansion, they didn't talk nonsense with anyone, and walked directly towards the evidence room.

Li Canghai's serious expression startled Luoyang Mansion Yin, and he thought that he had made a big mistake without knowing it, and hurriedly followed behind Li Canghai's buttocks.

"Open!" When he came to the evidence room, Li Canghai spit out two words in a deep voice.

Luoyang Mansion Yin hurriedly ordered someone to open the copper lock, bowed and said, "My lord, ...... are you?" ”

Li Canghai pushed the door and walked in with Tao Zhengzhu, and then turned to Luoyang Mansion Yin and the others: "It's none of your business, let's go separately!" ”

Everyone looked at each other, saluted, and then returned.

The evidence room is used to store the evidence of various cases, and there are dozens of rows of wooden shelves side by side in the huge room, and on each wooden frame are various kinds of evidence, rusty machetes, broken swords, and blood-stained stones.

Li Canghai was also surprised at first about the evidence room, but he didn't expect that he had already had the concept of preserving evidence as early as the Tang Dynasty.

It wasn't until he was promoted to the rank of Zhengyang County Commander that he knew that this was one of the assessment methods of the Ministry of Officials.

For officials, the Ministry of Officials will conduct an assessment every year, and one of the indicators of this assessment is the rate of solving cases.

Generally speaking, officials with a higher detection rate have a better chance of being promoted.

However, in this case, some officials will fabricate false cases in order to increase the rate of solving cases.

In order to solve this kind of problem, the Ministry of Officials ordered that the government offices at all levels must have evidence rooms, and when the Ministry of Officials evaluates them, they will compare each case with the evidence. From this, it is judged whether the official is fraudulent.

Although this method is not perfect, it has advanced a lot in ancient societies.

In addition to the side-by-side wooden shelves in the evidence room. There are also many stacked wooden boxes, which contain old evidence.

"Your Excellency. There are so many things, how do you find them? Tao Zhenzhu looked at the evidence in the room, and had a headache.

Li Canghai looked around, this is indeed a headache.

When leaving Luo's house, Li Canghai asked Luo Zhong where the wooden box was stored, but Luo Zhong was old after all, and he had only been here once, so he had long forgotten the specific storage place.

Li Canghai thought for a moment. "Since that thing was put here fourteen years ago, let's find the box from fourteen years ago first." ”

Fourteen years ago, the boxes were held under two wooden boxes, but those boxes were extremely heavy, and Li Canghai called a few more officials to help carry the two wooden boxes down.

After opening the wooden box, Li Canghai and the others carefully rummaged inside.

However, several people searched the contents again and again, but they did not find the wooden box that Luo Zhong said.

"My lord, how is this good? Is it difficult to open all the boxes here and find them? Tao Jizhu scratched his head. Not without discouragement.

With so many boxes, if they were to find them all, it would be impossible for a few of them to complete it alone.

Li Canghai stood up. He clapped his hands and looked around carefully, his brow furrowed for a moment.

"The evidence in the wooden box is too long. It was put in by Fa Cao after counting one by one, and the wooden box was stored by Luoyang Mansion Yin himself. It shouldn't be in a wooden box. Li Canghai thought for a moment, and he carefully observed his surroundings. imagined himself as the Luoyang Mansion Yin of the year.

From Luo Zhong's mouth, it can be seen that the Yin of Luoyang Mansion back then was a loyal and righteous person.

He presided over the trial of Qin's case together with the Three Law Divisions, but he did not succumb to Li Linfu because of this, but hid the so-called 'evidence'.

Then, the reason why he hid these 'evidence' was that he hoped that one day, when Qin Fu was wronged, it could be used as real evidence and shown to the world.

Luo Zhong said that they resigned one after another in the same year, and the official department was the first to resign and go into hiding, and died tragically at the hands of the bandits.

At that time, the remaining three of them had already guessed that someone was trying to kill someone.

Luoyang Mansion Yin naturally thought that he might die, in this case, he must have hoped that someone would be able to find those 'evidence' after his death, so that they would not die worthless.

"If it were me, it would be impossible to store the wooden box in this case, but at the same time, it would be easy for people to overlook that place." Li Canghai stood in place, turned around and looked around, carefully looking for this kind of place.

Room beams, table corners......

Suddenly, Li Canghai's eyes stopped on a shadow wall in the middle of the room.

The carving on the shadow wall is a statue of a pig, the pig steps on the auspicious clouds, stands tall and tall, giving people a kind of righteousness.

Li Canghai walked over, he looked carefully at the shadow wall, the pig on the shadow wall is a wood carving, the texture is clear, lifelike.

However, Li Canghai found that the scale armor on the lower jaw of the hedgehog was somewhat different from the surroundings.

The surrounding scale armor is all Shunlin, and only the scale armor on the lower jaw is all reverse scales.

"There has always been only one piece of this reverse scale, why does this hedgehog have so many reverse scales?" Li Canghai frowned slightly, hesitated slightly, and then reached out to touch it.

When his right hand touched those scales, his heart suddenly rejoiced.

Because, he felt a little crack.

"Found it!" Li Canghai exhaled deeply, and with a slight force in his right hand, he immediately deducted the reverse scale.

Tao Zhengzhu immediately surrounded him, and he saw that Li Canghai was holding a wooden box larger than a palm, the wooden box was about three inches thick, with scale armor carved on the front, and a peony carved on the back.

"My lord, is this the wooden box?" Tao Jizhu looked at the wooden box and said in amazement: "That adult can hide the wooden box in such an ingenious way, and only the adult's eyes are like a torch can he find it in one fell swoop!" ”

Li Canghai was also full of emotion, how meticulous Yin's mind was in Luoyang Mansion back then, otherwise he would not have come up with such a method.

When they came to the evidence room, everyone's attention was naturally on all kinds of evidence, who would go to see this shadow wall?

And that Luoyang Mansion Yin also took advantage of this, so he carved the surface of the wooden box into scale armor and inlaid it on the shadow wall.

He believed that if someone brought up the case again, someone would inevitably come looking for the wooden box.

He also believes that those who can reopen the case will also be able to find out the whereabouts of the wooden box.

Otherwise, how can he have the ability to avenge Qin Fu's grievances?

Li Canghai opened the wooden box and found that there was a Tibetan soldier talisman and more than a dozen yellowed letters.

Unwrapping the letters, Li Canghai carefully read them one by one.

These letters all have the signatures of Qin Fu and the Tubo general, and they clearly record the plot between the two sides.

Judging from the letters, Qin Fu did take refuge in the Tubo general, and the two planned the attack plan in detail in the letter, from how to invade the border pass, and then gradually occupy Youzhou, Qinchuan, and how to occupy Chang'an.

Not only that, the Tubo general showed his sincerity, but also sent the military talisman to Qin Fu.

"My lord, judging from these letters, it seems that General Qin is really suspected of collaborating with the enemy and treason!" Tao Jizhu said.

Li Canghai frowned, he put away the letters, and said: "You can't just look at the surface, the authenticity of these letters still needs to be verified, let's go." ”

After Tao Zhenzhu nodded, he followed Li Canghai and left Luoyang Mansion.

After leaving Luoyang Mansion, Tao Jizhu asked, "My lord, where should I go now?" ”

"Go to Baiguanyuan!" Li Canghai squinted his eyes and said in a deep voice.

Tao Jizhu answered, and then went to find a carriage, and the two of them got into the carriage and went straight to Baiguanyuan.

In addition to the residence of the hundred officials, there is also a temporary place for the hundred officials to deal with the government.

After experiencing the rebellion of 'reverse scale Xuanwu', the Tang Dynasty court can be said to have experienced a baptism of storm from top to bottom, in addition to the busy trial of anti-thieves, but also to deal with various large and small events delivered from all over the country.

The Baiguan Garden is divided into two entrances, the front courtyard is the place where the hundred officials do things, and the back courtyard is the place where the hundred officials live.

The advance hospital is divided into two cross-hospitals, the left cross-courtyard is headed by Zaifu, and the right cross-courtyard is headed by six departments, each performing its own duties while also facilitating communication.

Li Canghai and Tao Zhenzhu came to the place where the military department was located, and the secretary of the military department immediately greeted him and said, "Lord Li, the person you are looking for is now being guarded in the wing, this is their resume." ”

As he spoke, the military department Shangshu handed him a few pieces of paper full of words.

Li Canghai looked at it carefully, and said to the military department: "There is Lord Lao." ”

"Lord Li has been ordered to investigate this case, and the lower officials will naturally try their best to assist." Bingbu Shangshu said.

Li Canghai thought for a moment and said, "There is one more thing, Lord Lao Shangshu invites the other five Shangshu masters to come and testify together. (To be continued.) )
