Chapter 0074: Follow the Clues
After coming out of the Dali Temple Prison, Li Zhen immediately came to the official office of the Dali Temple and handed a post to the soldiers guarding the door.
At this time, Li Zhen had already changed into a light blue robe, with a leather belt around his waist, and a prison guard's soap suit, I am afraid that no one will pay attention to him, and the soldiers will not help him pass on the post.
After a while, a scribe walked out of the gate of the official office and said, "Please come with me." ”
Dali Temple is also the same as other official offices, a central axis runs through all buildings, and the various government offices are distributed along the central axis, and the innermost is the court room of Dali Temple.
Li Zhen wanted to find Sun Li, and entered the second courtyard, where there were three official rooms on each side, and here were the official rooms of the six Dali Temple Ministers.
In the archives on both sides, the files of various cases are piled up, and it is necessary for Dali Temple to re-examine and verify the judgment, and the workload is extremely large.
When Di Renjie was young, he served as the head of Dali Temple, and he dealt with a large number of unjust cases, which won him a good reputation.
The scribe took Li Zhen to an official room, he asked Li Zhen to wait outside, and went in to report, "Envoy, Li Gongzi has brought it." ”
"Please come in!"
Li Zhen tidied up his clothes a little and walked into the official room quickly, and there was a person sitting in the room, it was Sun Li.
He also has a mountain of files on his desk, and although he is in charge of the prison, he also has to participate in the review of old cases, and every day is extremely stressful, and it is not easy at all.
Sun Li is tall and thin, and he is also a very shrewd and capable person, although his father has a way, but he also has to fight for himself, otherwise Dali Temple will not accept him.
Li Zhen stepped forward and saluted, "See Sun Yuanjun!"
Sun Li put down his pen and asked with a smile, "How is Gongzi Li doing in Dali Prison?"
"Thank you for your help this time. ”
Sun Li waved his hand and said with a smile: "It's just a gesture, it's nothing, if you hadn't saved me, I would have died in Dunhuang, where is there still today, son, please sit!"
Li Zhen sat down, Sun Li ordered the scribe to serve tea again, Li Zhen took a sip of tea, and then asked tentatively: "Di Xiangguo's file, can I take a look?"
Sun Li pondered for a moment, took a file from under the table, and handed it to Li Zhen, "Just watch it here, you are not allowed to take it away!"
Li Zhen took the file and opened it, and found the scroll detailing the case.
Sun Li was also a little nervous in his heart, because Di Renjie's case had to be tried by the Third Division, so his case materials were copied in triplicate and reported to the Yushitai, the Criminal Department and Dali Temple respectively.
The file must be reported to Dali Siqing immediately, but Sun Li guessed that Li Zhen wanted to see it, so he privately withheld the file, but in any case, he had to report it today.
Li Zhen drank tea while flipping through the details of the case, and soon he saw what he wanted, the senior monk Yunxuan touched the Buddhist scriptures and died, his body was golden and stiff as a stone, and he was really like the Tocharian monk who died.
At this time, Sun Li slowly walked up to Li Zhen, handed him a roll of paper, and said in a low voice: "This is a detailed description of the case that I copied from Yu, you can take it!"
Li Zhen was overjoyed, he still had a lot of details he wanted to see, but he didn't have time, with this copy, he could take it back and look at it slowly.
Li Zhen immediately put away the paper scroll, returned the file to him, got up and arched his hand: "Sun Yuanjun's help, Li Zhen remembers it. ”
Sun Li smiled and nodded, "Go quickly!"
Li Zhen said goodbye and left, and Sun Li took the file and walked quickly to the official room of Dali Siqing
When he came out of the official office of Dali Temple, it was almost evening, Li Zhen was a little uneasy, and hurried back to the prison, and there was still some distance from the gate, when he saw Di Yan from a distance asking a jailer about something?
At this time, the jailer saw Li Zhen, so he pointed to this side and smiled: "He's here!"
Di Yan saw Li Zhen and hurriedly ran over, "Brother Li, how is my father?"
This stupid girl, can you ask this kind of thing at the prison gate?
Li Zhen smiled: "It's not easy to talk here, follow me!"
Li Zhen took her out of the imperial city through the side door, walked into Qinghuafang opposite the imperial city and found a wine shop, and the bartender greeted her warmly, "Welcome two guests to the small shop for dinner!"
"Is there a quieter room?"
"Yes, yes, on the second floor, please come with me. ”
Although Di Yan was anxious, Li Zhen ignored her, and she had no choice but to follow Li Zhen to the second floor, and the two entered the private room and sat down.
Li Zhen said to the bartender: "Come to three meat and three vegetarian dishes, you can do it yourself, and then have a pot of wine." ”
"Okay! ”
The bartender left, and Di Yan knocked on the table and urged: "Say it quickly, I'm really going to die!"
Li Zhen smiled, and told Di Yan in detail about today's life, Di Yan was dumbfounded when she heard it, it turned out that the Ouyang Xunshu Buddhist scripture she bought in Liangzhou turned out to be a trap.
"I'm going to kill that bald donkey abbot!" Di Yan gritted her teeth in hatred.
"Let's talk about the matter in Liangzhou! I have already found some clues this afternoon. ”
Di Yan was overjoyed, "What clue?"
"I'm afraid I really know something about this. ”
Li Zhen told the poisoning of Yunxuan and the poisoning of the Tocharian monk again, and finally said: "If I am not mistaken, this poison was brought back by Lan Zhenyu from Tocharo and given to Wu Shun, and Wu Shun gave it to Wu Chenghei.
As long as we can get evidence that Wu Chengsi has this poison, even if we can't prove Ling Zun's innocence, at least the emperor will be suspicious. ”
Di Yan nodded, "You're right, my brother also said that the saint didn't believe that my father wanted to poison her, but the evidence was unfavorable to my father, so he had to be strictly interrogated, as long as it was proved that Wu Chengji had this kind of poison, the saint knew it, and he wouldn't kill my father." ”
Li Zhen pondered for a moment and said: "The key is that Wu Shun is dead, then only Lan Zhenyu can prove this poison, if you find Lan Zhenyu first, and force him to agree to come out to testify, I'm afraid it's not so easy!"
Di Yan's heart also became heavy, what should I do?
Due to the poisoning case in the palace yesterday, which led to the death of the senior monk Yunxuan, the Taichu Palace made people panic, and Wu Zetian was not in a good mood, so he temporarily stopped the preparation for his birthday.
Gao Yanfu was busy for half a month, and finally got this opportunity to take a breath and go home for a day of rest.
Gao Yanfu was sitting in the study drinking tea and reading, when his adopted son Gao Lishi hurriedly came to report, "Father, Li Gongzi has something urgent to see!"
It was a coincidence, he happened to be at home, Gao Yanfu smiled and said, "Please come to my study!"
After a while, Gao Lishi led Li Zhen to the study, "Father, he's here!"
"Please come in!"
The door opened, Li Zhen walked in, he stepped forward and bowed, "Junior, see Fujun!"
"Li Gongzi, please take a seat. ”
Li Zhen sat down and said apologetically: "It's so late to disturb the rest of the prince, the younger generation is really upset." ”
"It's nothing, you shouldn't know I'm at home. ”
Gao Yanfu asked the maid to serve tea to Li Zhen again, and he said unhurriedly: "Gongzi is worried about King Wei?"
Li Zhen didn't know how to speak, it stands to reason that Gao Yanfu is Wu Chenghei's person, and it is really a bit inappropriate for him to come to talk to Gao Yanfu about Di Renjie's case.
Maybe Gao Yanfu was the one who poisoned the palace, but Li Zhen thought about it repeatedly, Gao Yanfu should not know about this matter, and even if he knew, it had nothing to do with him.
It's very simple, if Wu Chenghei is in trouble, Gao Yanfu may intercede for him, but if he wants to poison people, as Gao Yanfu, how can he be Wu Chenghe's pawn?
So after Li Zhen thought about it repeatedly, he still had to ask Gao Yanfu about some things, but his own affairs were not over yet, and he was involved in Di Renjie's case, and it was difficult for him to explain to Gao Yanfu.
Li Zhen had no choice but to bite the bullet and say: "The junior came to find the prince tonight to inquire, what is the saying about Di Xiangguo's case in the palace?"
Sure enough, Gao Yanfu's brows furrowed slightly, and a hint of displeasure flashed in his eyes, but he still asked in a very gentle tone, "What is Gongzi asking about this?"
"Someone asked me to inquire, and I am friends with Di Xiangguo's daughter. ”
Gao Yanfu laughed, "It turned out to be that little girl, so it's understandable." ”
Gao Yanfu immediately disappeared with a smile on his face, sighed and said: "The consequences of this matter are very severe, not only the Holy Lord is angry, but even Chief Xue is also furious, and he insists that Di Xiangguo will not only harm the Holy Lord, but also him.
He demanded that the saint immediately behead Di Xiang, anyway, the palace was already in chaos, and more than a dozen palace maids and eunuchs had already been executed for this incident. ”
Li Zhen was silent, it seemed that this matter was indeed very strict.
Gao Yanfu said again: "However, Di Renjie has been a relative for many years, and his character and reputation are commendable, and the saint does not believe that he will be poisoned, but suspects that he is being used."
Therefore, the Holy Lord did not agree to the request of the Xue Da General Administration's Office to behead Di Xiang, and ordered the third division to try the case, and the case was not over so quickly. ”
"The foreign minister's birthday gift, the palace must be inspected, I don't know how the person who inspected it is now?"
"You mean Luo Zhongzhong, it's he who is in charge of inspecting the birthday ceremony, but I heard that he is also dead, Li Gongzi, I tell you the truth, no one who has been in contact with Buddhist scriptures will survive, do you understand?"
Li Zhen sighed secretly in his heart, and sure enough, he guessed by himself, and Wu Chenghei killed people.
At this time, Gao Yanfu gently persuaded him: "This matter is difficult to recover, I hope you can stay out of it and don't get involved anymore." ”
Li Zhen smiled bitterly, "Miss Di is very worried that someone will take the opportunity to assassinate Di Xiang in prison, so she specially asked me to go to prison to protect Di Xiang, if the prince can remind the saint, maybe I don't have to get involved in this matter." ”
Li Zhen wants to investigate this case outside, he is worried that it may be difficult to support only Jiuzhi alone, and it is best that Wu Zetian can send capable guards to protect Di Renjie.
Gao Yanfu understood what Li Zhen meant, smiled and said, "I'll see the opportunity! If the saint is in a good mood, I'll mention it." ”
At this time, Gao Lishi next to him said: "Father, why don't you send Babao them!"
Babao is Gao Yanfu's personal guard, there are a total of eight people, all of them are strong in martial arts, Gao Lishi is worried about Li Zhen's safety, so he asked the guards of Gaofu to protect Di Renjie.
Without waiting for Gao Yanfu to express his position, Li Zhen hurriedly waved his hand, "The Di family will deal with this matter, and there is no need for the prince to intervene." ”
Gao Yanfu didn't avoid it, and said with a faint smile: "It's not impossible to let Babao and them go, but things will get more complicated, others still think that it is me Gao Yanfu who picked up Di Renjie in the palace, and now everyone in the palace is in danger, and I am the same!"
"Don't worry about this matter, Gaofujun doesn't care, and I want to ask, when does King Wei plan to offer relics?"
"It should be tomorrow! The Holy One attaches great importance to the matter of relics, and specially ordered the King of Wei to offer relics in the Vientiane Shrine. ”
