The scholar did not speak, but went to the table to pick up the file on his own, turned back to He Zhizheng and said: "The person who came into contact with Long Bo must have traces, but today, it must be according to Li Bi's previous promise, no matter who the real culprit is, he will be severely punished!" Can he agree? ”

He Zhizheng's eyes shrunk, gritted his teeth and nodded, "Check!" ”

Several people sat around the bookcase office in the hall of Jing'an Division, and the scholar Cen Shen opened his mouth and asked, "How did He Fu get acquainted with Long Bo?" He Gong can know. ”

He Zhizheng recalled: "He Fu only helped me get medicine on weekdays, ran to various departments, and took official documents, because he had to pretend to be stupid, so he never showed his head extra." ”

"Check! Where does Cha Ho Fu go most often? What kind of people do you interact with often. "The scholar ordered the forbidden, and immediately after the order, there was a Jing'an official who promised to investigate.

Cen Shen then analyzed: "Obviously, Long Bo has formulated a total of two sets of plans, one bright and one dark, one is used to deceive He Fu, that is, Long Bo came forward, contacted the right brake, hired wolf guards, and attacked the west. At the critical moment, throw He Fu out to take the blame and buy yourself time to enter the light tower. ”

He Zhizheng said anxiously: "What's the use of talking about this now? ”

"Money!" Cen Shen named the key point in one sentence, "Long Bo hired wolf guards, rented mansions, and bought stone grease, which required a lot of money. Where did He Fu get so much money for him? ”

He Zhizheng sighed: "A year ago, I found out that I had madness, if I didn't take medicine and pressure, I would have a mad attack, and there were several seizures when I tried to commit suicide, but I was rescued by He Fu in time. After taking this medicine, even if you read a book or meditate, you can't sit still for more than a moment, and your brain is chaotic, and you feel drowsy all day long. ”

Laughing at himself, He Zhizheng continued: "I'm useless to Datang. Therefore, the idea of leaving Chang'an was born. Before I died, I wanted to go back to my hometown again, and I hadn't gone back for more than 50 years, so I left it to He Fu to prepare for this matter. Quietly sold one by one, several houses in Chang'an City. Slowly dismissed the domestic servants, trying not to let others notice the matter, so as not to affect the prince. ”

Cen Shen asked: "Then have you ever inquired about the money you sold?" ”

"He Fu is like my own son!" He Zhizheng sighed: "He was in a miserable situation when he was a child, and he was the most prone to be overwhelmed, for fear that I would doubt him, hate him, and eventually abandon him." Therefore, I do not want to ask more. ”

Cen Shen nodded: "But he was deceived by Long Bo, he assassinated Lin Jiulang on the street, but in fact, he has the same fate as those wolf guards, just another trick of Long Bo." ”

And Long Bo's second plan is his real plan. It was to assassinate Lin Jiulang under the pretense of using the money He Fu gave him to arrange everything, but the real destination of his ambush fire and thunder was the Taishang Xuanyuan Lantern Tower, which was to assassinate the emperor with the Lantern Tower! ”

As he spoke, he handed He Zhizheng a document, "Gong He, please see, this is a murder file sent by Wuhou." Before lighting the lamp today, Wuhou found that Mao Shun's family died unexpectedly, and the outer rooms of the two mansions, the descendants and the servants of the children and grandchildren were all poisoned and died at the family banquet, and the death was miserable. ”

"According to an escaped cook, it was Mao Shun who put powder medicine in the soup himself, and said it was a tonic at the time."

He Zhizheng was surprised and puzzled: "Why? ”

A Jing'an official next to him handed over a set of drawings, "Supervisor He, this is found on the case of Mao Shun, the construction drawings of the big lamp tower." But there are strange words written on it. ”

He Zhizheng looked at Cen Shen at the same time, and saw a sentence written in the lower left corner of the drawing: One penny can buy two Hu cakes.

"What do you mean? Who wrote it? Cen Shen was puzzled, looked up and saw He Zhizheng's expression, and asked curiously: "He Gong, can you recognize this trace?" ”

He Zhizheng sneered: "Recognize, this is my brushwork." The person who wrote imitated my handwriting, I think, in the hope that Mao Shun would notice. ”

Cen Shen asked: "Then who can see your handwriting and have access to Mao Shun's drawings?" ”

He Zhizheng muttered: "The drawings have to be verified by the Ministry of Household Affairs, as for my words, there are too many people who have seen them, well, I sometimes get drunk, I will inscribe poems everywhere, and then check, check the Ministry of Household Rites of the Ministry of Industry, and can contact the specific person who handles Mao Shun's drawings." ”

"Whoa!" Then there were Jing'an officials who quickly went to check the file files.

The scholar pondered: "According to General Guo Lishi, he sent someone to send the details of the Calyx Tower, and Long Bo's real motive was to avenge the unjust case of the Eighth Regiment in the Anxi Protectorate ten years ago. But after all, ten years have passed, why did you choose to contact He Fu half a year ago to start the plan? ”

He Zhizheng's heart was shocked, "Half a year ago, because of the construction of the Xiaobolu Embassy and the forcible requisition of private houses, Long Bo's comrades-in-arms died when they heard about it. ”

After nodding, Cen Shen said: "It sounds very reasonable, but there is something unclear below: where are the embassies of foreign feudal domains usually built in Chang'an?" ”

"The left side of the East City is near Chongrenfang." An Zhuguo, the chief bookkeeper next to him, replied.

"That's right, it's closer to the mansions of the powerful, shopping, visiting, and entering the palace, which is very convenient. But in that neighborhood, it is not that there is no vacant mansion, why should it be built in Anye Fang, where Wen Wuji is located? ”

He Zhizheng explained: "The site selection is planned by the Ministry of Industry and the Ministry of Households. The Ministry of Industry is responsible for giving the size of the area, and the Ministry of Household should give suggestions for the area from the perspective of cost accounting. ”

"Who are the people involved in this proposed project? Is there a record? Cen Shen asked.

"Yes There is a record of all the important meetings, how many meetings were held, who attended, and what suggestions were given. Go to the archives and get the files. ”

At this time, Jing'an officials came to report: "He Fu has been going back and forth most frequently since last year, and there have been as many as forty or fifty times in the first half of the year, and each time he stayed for more than half an hour. ”

"Then he's seen it all in the household, who knows?"

"This, I don't know. Only the official documents were extracted in the interview. ”

Another Jing'an official sent a directory, "The Ministry of Works, those who can contact Mao Shun's drawings, the directory is here." ”

Cen Shen took it, quickly looked through it, and soon found a suspicious person, "Xu Bin!" ”

"Xu Bin? What's the matter, Xu Bin has a problem? He Zhizheng doesn't know yet.

Nodding heavily, Cen Shen said: "Earlier today, Li Sicheng and I had already taken advantage of Xu Bin's shortcomings and speculated that he was probably Long Bo's party, and he had been covering for Long Bo's three hundred barrels of ambush fire and thunder, so he had been imprisoned. But this man is cunning, and he eventually escapes. ”

Yao Runeng, who had been sitting next to him without saying a word, shrunk his neck, Xu Bin, pit Lao Tzu!

"This Xu Bin, who recruited him into the Jing'an Division?"

He Zhizheng said: "I." ”

"You? Then how did you come to know such an eight-grade official from the household department? Cen Shen asked.

"Hehe, there's nothing special. This person, like others, often sends me some dry poems, but he is more persistent than others and insists on sending them for more than ten years. ”

"Poetry? Well written? Cen Shen asked puzzled.

He Zhizheng sneered: "Hehe, Pingping." The words are straightforward, there is no embellishment, there is almost no interest, and there are more to say on the road of official career, unintentional complaints, and some involving mathematics, which are obscure. ”

"Then, He Fu, did you mention Xu Bin?"

After being reminded by the scholar Cen Shen, He Zhizheng finally remembered something: "Late one night, He Fu was crying in the garden, I asked him, he said that he was in the household department, and met two small officials who were arguing, one of them said a paragraph, I listened to it at the time, I didn't think there was anything, and I felt nostalgic in my midnight dream, and this word has been lingering in my heart, and I can't go." ”

"What?"

"In life, people always have to do something to make themselves proud, so that they are embarrassed to close their eyes." He Zhizheng recalled.

The scholar pondered: "Who is the little official who said this? ”

"Xu Bin!"

Hiss......
