Chapter 113: Coincidence

As if a basin of water was splashed down, Di Fangxing's words suddenly choked in his throat.

"After all, these people are just small characters, and they can be stared at, but the person behind them is not on the list." He Taiping said, "After I got those account books, I specially checked this old official and found that he was one of the people who was sent by the Criminal Department to deal with this matter after the Zhang family incident. ”

"That's a coincidence." Di Fangxing sneered, "But I've never believed in coincidences. ”

"I don't believe it either." He Taiping said, "There is one more thing. ”

"Say it!" Di Fangxing had calmed down at this time, "What else is going on with this old official?" ”

"I went to the household department to check about this old official after the Zhang family's accident, and found an interesting thing." He Taiping said, "The day before the Zhang family's accident, that is, on July 14 of that year, the seven-year-old grandson of this old official died. ”

"How did you die?" Di Fangxing asked, "No matter how big or small, you speak slowly, I will listen to it well." ”

He realized the reason why He Taiping had to ask him to come over in person, so many things, it was obviously impossible to rely on people to spread the word.

He Taiping nodded: "I was trampled to death by a crazy horse passing by when I was fighting with those children." ”

"This is really ......" Di Fangxing couldn't help but gasp, "This old official's life is really difficult." Whose horse is it? Can you report to the official? ”

"I reported to the official, and I also reported to me, and I got the stolen goods, but in the end, I only fined some money." He Taiping glanced at him as he spoke, "Do you remember the county lord of Qingyang back then?" ”

Although the person of Qingyang County Lord is rarely mentioned, but this name was heard in Chang'an City back then, and everyone was in danger, and there were many lives on his body, and he even had to be killed with a street stick, not to mention riding a horse and trampling pedestrians, and there were not a few people who were trampled to death and injured every year, but in the end, in addition to being punished and grounded, most of them were gone.

"Is that her?" Di Fangxing was obviously quite impressed by the county lord of Qingyang, "I remember that I once came to my Dali Temple," he said and nodded again, "In this case, it is not surprising why this old official can only endure it." ”

Compared with the powerful and favored county lord of Qingyang at that time, what can a powerless and powerless old official do?

"According to my Chang'an custom, if a relative dies, he will have to stop for three days." He Taiping said, "The old official's son and daughter-in-law died early, leaving only one grandson to rely on each other, and the baby is like something on weekdays, but such a precious grandson, those neighbors said that the old official's grandson was buried in a hurry after only one day." ”

"That's not right." Di Fangxing reacted and looked at He Taiping, "Your people shouldn't go to the museum for an autopsy!" ”

"Since you have investigated, you have to investigate thoroughly!" He Taiping said, "We found the place where the child was buried by the guidance of the neighbors, guess what it was inside?" ”

Di Fangxing shook his head: "But I heard it in detail." ”

He Taiping said: "It's an empty coffin." ”

"Where did that child's body go?"

He Taiping shook his head: "We don't know, and the neighborhood doesn't know at all." So, let's think about who needs a child's corpse at that time. ”

Di Fangxing spread his hands: "I don't know." ”

"I don't know. However, I thought that this matter was brought up by the Zhang family's affairs, and whether it would be related to the Zhang family's affairs. He Taiping said, "So, with the consent of Mr. Pei and His Majesty, I took the work to investigate the bodies of the six or seven-year-old children who died in the Zhang family. ”

Di Fangxing's heart jumped: "Did you find something?" ”

He Taiping nodded: "Among the several corpses of this age, there is a skeleton that is broken in many places, as if it was trampled to death. ”

Di Fangxing "Teng" stood up from the chair: "Whose corpse is that?" ”

"I specially brought the Zhang family's genealogy to check," He Taiping said, taking out a genealogy from his sleeve, turning to the last page, and pointing his finger down, "He called...... Zhang Jie. ”

"This kid should still be alive!" Di Fangxing's face trembled, and his expression was excited, "No! Must still be alive! There was a living mouth for that incident back then, would he know anything? ”

Seeing him so excited, He Taiping couldn't help but say, "You calm down!" How much can a six-year-old know? And he didn't necessarily see anything. ”

"Yes, yes, yes." Di Fangxing slapped He Taiping's shoulder and laughed a few times, "Old He, you really helped me a lot!" This kindness, Di really wrote it down. ”

"Say it again if you are kind or not!" He Taiping rolled his eyelids: "And this Zhang Xie is not an ordinary child, he is the youngest son of Master Zhang." There are only two children in Zhang's long house, the eldest one is called Zhang Mingzhu, who is the eldest lady who is held in the palm of her hand by the Heavenly Master, and the younger child is called Zhang Jie. ”

The descendants of the Zhang family, everything is consistent, this is more like the child who was secretly replaced by the old official of the criminal department.

"Zhang Jie, hahahaha! Good! Zhang Jie! Di Fangxing couldn't help laughing, He Taiping didn't care about him this time, he just asked people to take the autopsy documents and those account books and hand them over to him, "I'll give you the things, I can only find so much here for the time being, you can check the rest yourself!" ”

"That's enough." Di Fangxing put away the account book, "How could an ordinary old official know about this kind of list? How is it possible to swap out a child? Needless to say, this person is one of Chen Shan's hidden piles nine times out of ten! ”

This time, He Taiping poured Meiyu and poured cold water on him: this explanation is indeed extremely probable. And because of the county lord of Qingyang, he hated and betrayed, which also makes sense.

Chen Shan and the first emperor killed a Qingyang county lord to make everyone in the capital unhappy, what will the chess pieces do like this, even if they are as powerful as Chen Shan, they can't expect it! I didn't expect to move my own people, and I didn't expect this chess piece to go wrong after all.

Intrigue and power are inseparable, but it is not necessarily a good thing to deliberately connive at such a murderous pawn who regards human life as a mustard.

Thinking of this, He Taiping shook his head: he thought of a sentence that a girl often said: Heaven is clear, and retribution is unpleasant. That's right!

Deliberately connived at evil is also evil, even more abominable than the chess pieces themselves. How can there be no retribution for such evil? For example, the list of hidden piles he has laid down for so many years actually appeared at this time. Predictably, what kind of blow will the appearance of this list be to Chen Shanhui? It's just that the person behind him who is strong enough to reach out and meddle in the affairs of the barracks has not yet appeared.
