Chapter Ninety-One: Adapting to the Situation

Although something happened in the house, but the festival still has to pass, at this time the Dragon Boat Festival sacrifice of the gods and spirits are not only Qu Yuan, but also Cao E and Zhang Tianshi, Zhao Ta still knows Qu Yuan, that is the representative of the national integrity, and later generations will also worship him, as for the other two, they are slowly forgotten.

The weather is hot in May, and all kinds of poisonous insects and animals are ready to move. There is a saying that the Dragon Boat Festival avoids the five poisons, and the sacrifice to Zhang Tianshi means to invite the heavenly master to suppress evil and expel diseases. People collect herbs on this day and use them for medicine, and it can be said that people generally launched an epidemic prevention activity during the Dragon Boat Festival. In order to prevent the invasion of poisonous insects, people also wear things to ward off evil spirits. Iris and wormwood should be planted on the door, and charm bags and incense bags should be worn on the body. On the day of the Dragon Boat Festival, peaches, willows, sunflowers, pampas leaves, Buddhist wormwood, etc., are laid out in front of the door, and a wormwood man is nailed at the door to ward off evil.

Of course, the palace is more complicated and luxurious than the folk, all the arrangements are based on the palace, with red gauze lined with gold-colored cups, carved with iris or grass to carve out the statue of the heavenly master and the tiger in the cup, and there are five colors of irises dyed around the calamus. It is also necessary to carve hundreds of insects on it, and use sunflowers, pomegranate flowers, water chestnut leaves, and all kinds of flowers to surround it. With hundreds of colored threads, delicate wisps of gold flowers and silver-like drums, molasses rhyme fruits, clever rice dumplings, five-colored beads to form a warp cylinder charm bag. It is also necessary to use five-color pu silk herb cream, which is contained in a three-layer large box, which is decorated with sunflowers, pomegranate flowers, wormwood, all kinds of flowers, centipedes, snakes, lizards, scorpions, etc., called poisonous insects, symbolizing the encirclement and suppression of poisonous insects.

The old lady became the queen, and the reward for Zhao Ta in the palace was much richer than in previous years, not only the Xiangluo, yarn, silk, and kudzu used to make summer public clothes in previous years, but also some extremely delicate frosting, rhyme fruit, molasses made in the palace, and even Zhao Ta's attendants also gave various gifts, including green leaves made of jade, five-color sunflowers and pomegranate flowers made of pearl and emerald, jade fans made of gold wire, warp cylinder charm bags made of real pearl Baisuo, sachets, soft fragrance ambergris belts, purple silk cloth, white linen, red plantains, etc. The nearby Taoist temples and temples are also tightly sent to wear talismans and other things to ward off poison and evil.

The food of the Dragon Boat Festival is mainly zongzi, in addition to the general corner zongzi, there are also bamboo tubes to store rice, neem leaves are stuffed on it with silk bundles, and there are rice dumplings made of callus leaves. In addition, many fruits are also seasonal foods, such as peaches, apricots, persimmons, ringo, oranges, bayberry, summer oranges, papaya and other fruits from the north and south. There is a kind of thing that makes Zhao Tamar respond, that is, the owl soup, the owl is the owl, use it to make soup Zhao Ta is always a little tired in his heart, ask to see the joy to know why the Tao wants to eat, because people regard the Dragon Boat Festival as a poisonous moon, the ancients thought that the owl bird was an evil bird, eat it to get rid of evil. In fact, it's all about it!

??????

The joint task force of the state and county settled in the house, headed by Si Cao to join the army, commanding the errand to investigate the scene, questioning witnesses, and investigating suspects, and they were very busy! The next day, the prince personally sent the zongzi, and gave each person five taels of silver for their hard work, of course, to ask about the progress of the case by the way.

"Lord Yu, according to the description of your palace guard, the thief is short in stature, extraordinary in skill, and proficient in martial arts; We also inspected the stolen vault and found two footprints and palm prints on the beams of the house, indicating that he did not enter through the door or window, but opened a skylight on the roof, then went down the rope, pried open the silver box with a knife, and returned the same way when he succeeded. The judicial officer of Gongzhou Mansion said respectfully, "It's just ???"

"Just what, is there anything wrong?" Zhao Ta listened to what this guy said, he was indeed a cadre, and he was afraid that he was too smart at this time, so he really exposed himself.

"Lord Wang, it's just that after this thief succeeded, he didn't flee quickly for anything, but ran to the changing room to snoop, which is incomprehensible!" The judicial officer shook his head with a confused face.

"Oh?! Do you find out where he escaped? "Zhao Taxin said this, I know this, but I can't tell you, and asked with a 'curious' expression unchanged.

"Lord, the guards said that after the thief escaped from the encirclement, he jumped over the wall and entered the inner courtyard, they did not dare to go in and search without permission, and when he got permission, the thief had long disappeared, and we also surveyed the scene, but there were only traces left when he entered, and where did he escape from the ???" Judicial participation in the army is not embarrassed to say.

"Then you suspect that you are a thief?" Zhao Ta helped him say it.

"Lord Wang, Xia Guan thought so at first, but after asking the managers of the Inner Mansion, they all said that no one left on the night of the crime, this is strange, did he fly into the sky!" The judiciary raised his eyes and looked at Zhao Ta and said. ,

"Only this king has no one to ask, you don't doubt me, do you?" Zhao Ta saw his suspicions and asked with a smile.

"The prince laughed, how could you steal your own things, and I heard that you have always been in bad health!" The judicial officer said with a sneer.

"Huh!" Zhao Ta smiled but didn't answer, he became a shield after a long time of poor health, it seems that this kid really listed himself as a suspect.

"Our house is full of white people, how can there be thieves!" Seeing Xi on the side, he pouted and said, he knew the prince well, and looked at Zhao Ta, the prince's figure was really similar to the thief that the nurses said, but he pondered in his heart, "Listen to this kid's meaning, if the prince is in good health, maybe he did it, but why didn't the prince tease the nurses?" ”

"What Xi Ye said is that we will now commit crimes around Gongzhou Mansion, and we have all gone through it, and we have really found that there are two big thieves who have similar modus operandi to this thief, and we have sent someone to investigate, and once it is confirmed, we will take him down!" The judicial officer said respectfully.

"Well, you bothered, on the day the case is solved, I will invite you to drink!" Zhao Ta breathed a sigh of relief, and said with a smile, this matter is a fool.

"I still have a question to ask, Zhang Senjun, you just said that the thief's behavior was abnormal, can you find out his purpose?" Zhao Ta just raised his ass to leave, and when he saw Xi, he asked again, he had learned from the prince that he had to ask what he wanted!

"Xiye, I can't tell you now, I'll definitely ask him when I catch him!" The judicial officer said with a smile.

"This matter must be investigated, if he is using theft as a cover, he actually wants to find out the truth in the mansion, and it will be unfavorable to the prince, we have to be careful!" Miki said.

"Yes, the lower officials must find out!" The judicial army replied, but in his heart he just wanted to slap his mouth, why should I have that mouth, this was originally a theft case, and now as soon as he said this, it immediately escalated into a murder case that wanted to be unfavorable to the prince, isn't this uncomfortable for himself!

Zhao Ta looked at the bitter gourd face of joining the army but secretly laughed, seeing that Xi unintentionally forced the task force into a corner, it is difficult for them to change their words now, the crime of 'plotting to assassinate the prince' is big, this can also be said to provide some people with the opportunity to be promoted and make a fortune, they will definitely find a way to 'detect' the case, and then play the merit, then it will be justified than Huang Jingchen or his own play, and the things he has been planning may come naturally.

Zhao Ta has no doubt about their ability to solve cases, he had heard a joke in his previous life: The United Nations wants to verify which country's police are the most efficient in handling cases in the next world? Just let them deal with a case at the same time, release a bear in the mountains, and the police need to catch the bear within twelve hours, and see what the police of various countries will do? USA: A large group of police were dispatched, surrounded the mountain, and shouted over a loudspeaker: "Dog bear! You're already surrounded! Come out now! We will give you the most humane treatment...... Twelve hours later, the bear still hasn't come out, and the American police have failed! United Kingdom: Two police officers from the United Kingdom asked the bear for its gender, and then led a female dog bear into the mountains! Twelve hours later, five hundred police officers were dispatched from Britain because the two unlucky children were lost! China: China only went to four policemen but slept for a long time, saw the time, only got up and walked to the mountain, and came back after a while, followed by a rabbit with a blue nose and swollen face, and said angrily when he saw people: "You fucking say I'm a bear, I'm a bear!" ”

What do you want under the severe punishment, Zhao Ta feels that the ancestors will not be worse than modern people, and the presiding judge is fully protected by the law in these years, even if the criminal suspect is beaten to death in court, no one will hold him responsible. As for who will be the unlucky rabbit, Zhao Ta can't care about it!

Sure enough, within a few days, the thief was caught, it was a giant thief in the Gyeonggi area, the people of the rivers and lakes called the 'flying spirit ape', the body is thin, the light body is very good, it is said that he can cross the river with lotus leaves, lie on the branches to sleep, commit several serious crimes, was wanted by the government, and simply gathered a few people to occupy the mountain as the king. I heard that the Yanwang Mansion was rich, and he was going to kidnap the prince for ransom, so he went to step on the palace at night.

During the interrogation, of course, the government also sent people to do circumstantial evidence to identify the criminals. That night, the thief was masked, and no one could see what he looked like, but he was almost the same in stature, but the person who caught him confessed, and he said well about the environment of the palace, and the route in and out could also be the right number, and it was not bad to say what he stole from him. Everyone recognized it, and they didn't want to say anything, so they thought that this person was a thief who entered the palace at night, but unfortunately the lost items were sold by the thieves and were not recovered!

Solved the case of premeditated kidnapping of the prince, which was of course a political achievement, and the Gongzhou government immediately reported to Dali Temple to behead the criminal. Of course, the palace is 'grateful', Zhao Ta's personal book 'solve the case quickly' four big characters, carved a gold plaque, knocked and sent to the prefect's yamen, and the prince wrote a chapter at the same time to play the saint, please have a division to reward the relevant people, etc., this matter caused a sensation in the city???
