Chapter Ninety-Six: The Breakthrough
Not to mention Wu Zetian, turning his attention back to the "Spilled Blood Eagle Case" itself, last night, after Huang Chong informed Di Renjie of the information he knew, Di Renjie immediately had a preliminary judgment in his heart, and locked on a suspect with the highest probability at present - He Yun.
He Yun is the flying dragon envoy in charge of the idle stables in the palace province, and the reason why the attention of this case was shifted to the powerful ghost from the beginning is inseparable from He Yun.
At the scene where Sun Dianchen's body was found, Li Yuanfang found an abnormal line of horseshoe prints, so he stepped on the horseshoe prints and went to the flying dragon to make He Yun verify, and He Yun was also involved in this case.
By looking through the information, He Yun came to the conclusion that the style of this horseshoe was a special farrier for the former Sui Xiaoguo Army that had long been banned, and the horse was very likely to be a sweaty and bloody BMW that had long been extinct, and two things that should not appear appeared on the scene, causing Li Yuanfang's panic and making Di Renjie a little shaken.
In the following conversations, He Yun intentionally or unintentionally led the case to the netherworld, which did not arouse Di Renjie's suspicions, because at that time, Li Yuanfang and Zeng Tai also believed that it was a ghost.
But after knowing that the "ghost killing" was actually man-made, some of He Yun's original words were wrong in Di Renjie's opinion, in addition, if it is said that the most likely person in the world to imitate the former Sui farrier and find the extinct BMW must be the official horse workshop in the palace province, because all the horse breeds in the world are bred here, and the official horse workshop is in charge of the flying dragon envoy, so Di Renjie suspects that He Yun has a problem.
So Di Renjie ordered Li Yuanfang to secretly spy on He Yun.
If it were in normal times, Di Renjie would not judge a person based on a guess without evidence, or even let Li Yuanfang come out, but the situation in this case is different.
First, although it is already known that this case has nothing to do with ghosts, the facts of the case are still confusing, so Di Renjie has no way to start, so no matter how small the evidence is, he can't let it go; Second, the case had a close connection with the emperor, and he had to close it as soon as possible.
In addition, the Jiangjiazhuang bloody case 60 years ago also aroused Di Renjie's suspicions, since the "bloody eagle case" that occurred in Sidao and Ten Prefectures this time was not committed by powerful ghosts, it shows that the so-called Yuwen Chengdu fierce ghost murder 60 years ago must also be false.
However, the situation of these two cases is so similar, the deceased in both cases were beheaded and left arm, which had to make Di Renjie suspicious, so Di Renjie sent Zeng Tai to find relevant information, hoping to find some clues from the documents.
However, neither of these things is easy, the former requires a certain amount of luck, while the latter needs to be slowly searched because of a large number of documents and archives, which cannot be done overnight.
……
His two right-hand men have something to do, Di Renjie will naturally not be idle, when Huang Chong entered the palace to meet Wu Zetian, Di Renjie also entered the palace, but he went to the History Museum.
"Lang Zhu Xi of the lowly Lintai Writings Bureau knocked on the elder pavilion, I don't know which library the elder wants to see?"
"The archives of the right guard from the early years of Wude to the tenth year of Zhenguan." Di Renjie said that he wanted to figure out Jiang Xiaolang's affairs.
"Please come with me."
The thick door creaked open, and dozens of bookshelves lined up in the vast old archives, piled high with yellowed archival books.
Zhu Xi held the wind lantern and looked for the label, and finally led Di Renjie to a lattice, which stored all the old files of the right guard from the early years of Wude to the tenth year of Zhenguan.
"Ge Lao, all the files are here."
"Okay, you go and get busy, and the pavilion will find it by itself."
"Yes."
It is not easy to find a person's file among the many documents, even Di Renjie can't open it, he can only check it slowly.
Fortunately, there is only one file, and the number is not very large, Di Renjie soon saw the name he wanted - Jiang Xiaolang.
"Jiang Xiaolang, Gaozu Wude joined the right guard in the sixth year. The official worshiped the guerrilla general, and two years later, he accumulated merit to the general of Hanyang. At the beginning of Taizong's Zhenguan view, Jiang Xiaolang suddenly disappeared. ”
"Missing?" Seeing this, Di Renjie was taken aback, and hurriedly turned the page to know the reason for Jiang Xiaolang's disappearance.
"This ......" Di Renjie gasped, the back two were also torn off, the paper stubble was jagged, and it looked like it had been torn off, Di Renjie reached out and touched the stubble, it should have been torn off not long ago.
"It seems that Jiang Xiaolang did not return to the field back then, but suddenly disappeared, which is strange...... It seems that something must have happened back then, allowing Jiang Xiaolang to escape from the army and take the old department with him. Di Renjie muttered to himself.
"What was it that made him escape? And who tore these two pages away? ”
Returning the book to the lattice, Di Renjie stood there and thought about it, and after a while, a smile appeared on the chubby old face, obviously he thought of it.
……
"Di Gong."
"Gong Heng."
Huang Chong, who left the Guanfeng Palace, happened to meet Di Renjie who left the History Museum.
"Looking at Di Gong's demeanor, it seems that he has gained something." Huang Chong said with a smile.
"Looking at Gongheng's demeanor, the matter has also been resolved."
"Hmm." Huang Chong nodded.
"This is not the place to talk, let's go back first."
"Okay."
……
"You mean Huang Gongheng entered the palace to meet the emperor?"
"Yes, but we have no way of knowing what they talked about, and Di Renjie went to the History Museum to find the right guard files from the early years of Wude to the tenth year of Zhenguan."
"Right guard file, what is this Di Renjie doing?"
"King Liang, Di Renjie was named the 'Minister of Ghost Hunting', and now he should be dealing with the Blood Eagle case, which is just right to divert the attention of this old guy, but Huang Gongheng entered the palace to meet the saint, I am afraid it is not simple."
"This Huang Gongheng doesn't know what to do, and one day this king will cramp and strip his bones."
"King Liang, it's better to be still than to be motionless now, because what Zhou Guogong did today, we must be cautious now, and we must not let Your Majesty catch any handles."
"You don't need to say this, this king knows that the heir, a dog who has more than enough success and more than failure, is good to die, so he doesn't have to worry about it."
“……”
"By the way, let our people pay close attention to everything in the palace, not only the Guanfeng Palace, but also the Tai Palace, there must be no mistakes this time."
"Yes."
……
Di Fu.
"Sure enough, as adults expected, He Yun has moved." Li Yuanfang hurriedly ran in and said excitedly.
"What's the catch?"
"Found it."
"Great."
"My lord, do you think you should start acting now?"
"No, it's not the time yet, let's go, let's go to Yongchang County and explore the Jiang family's compound again."
