Early the next morning, Li Zhen left his home and went to the imperial city, but as soon as he left the house, a carriage drove in the distance, and there were seven or eight warriors on horseback to escort him, the carriage stopped at the door of his house, the door opened, and Wu Lixiang walked out of the carriage.

Li Zhen didn't expect her to come so early, so she hurriedly stepped forward to give a salute, and Wu Dingxiang returned the salute with a smile: "I came to see Mr. Cao on behalf of my father, I don't know how he is now?"

"Much better this morning, two more days off and I'll be fine. ”

"That's good, my father told him to have a good rest, and it's not too late to go to Wufu in a few days. ”

Li Zhen had no interest in the Wu family, he thought that his eldest sister was at home, so he didn't say anything more, he said goodbye to her, he turned over his horse and galloped towards the fangmen.

Wu Dingxiang kept looking at Li Zhen and walked away, which made people knock on the door, and after a while, Li Quan opened the door and saw Wu Dingxiang standing outside the door at a glance, she couldn't help but be stunned, "Are you......?"

Li Zhen has not gone to Sun Li since returning to Luoyang from Chang'an, on the one hand, because Shangguan Wan'er knew the truth about the Zhutan case, and he felt that he didn't need to get involved again, and on the other hand, it was also because Sun Li and Shangguan Wan'er teamed up to deceive him, which made him really uncomfortable.

But after thinking about it, you can't blame Sun Li, a petty official like him, how dare he resist Shangguan Wan'er's order.

And Xie Ying later told him that the Broken Tan case had a lot to do with Wei Tuan'er, so he felt that he could start with the Broken Tan case and find Wei Tuan'er's treasure house.

Li Zhen has the waist card of the guard, there is no problem in entering the imperial city, he came directly to Dali Temple to find Sun Li, and after a while, Sun Li personally greeted him, "Brother Xian! ”

Sun Li was a little ashamed in his eyes, but he really looked forward to Li Zhen's arrival, this case was about to torture him crazy.

Li Zhen saw the shame in his eyes, so he stopped mentioning the copper box, and said with a smile: "I entered the palace as a guard, has Brother Sun heard about it?"

"I heard Zhang Xi talk about it, hey! I wanted to go to you yesterday, but I thought that you must have a lot of things to do on the first day you entered the palace, so I couldn't help it, if you don't come again today, I will go to the door to ask for someone." ”

Saying that, Sun Li pulled Li Zhen into Dali Temple, invited him to his official room, and poured him a cup of hot tea, "Brother Xian, don't blame me for the shadow relics, I really can't help it, I can't afford to offend the people above." ”

Li Zhen smiled and waved his hand, "I can understand Brother Sun's distress, don't mention this matter in the future." ”

Li Zhen sat down, took a sip of tea and asked, "Let's talk about the case!"

Sun Li took out a map, spread it out on the table, pointed to the broken pool on the map and said: "After repeated verification, we finally determined that the person was killed in Luoshui, and was washed into the broken pool by the undercurrent in Luoshui, but in this way, the suspects we deduced before are meaningless, and now we have to start all over again, but there is no clue at all." ”

Li Zhen wondered in his heart, could it be that Shangguan Wan'er had never hinted at Sun Li and Wei Tuan'er was the biggest suspect?

He didn't mention Wei Tuan'er either, and asked again, "Isn't there any clue at all?"

Sun Li hesitated, "There is a little clue, but it's a bit unbelievable!"

"Let's talk about it, how is it unbelievable?" Li Zhen asked unhurriedly drinking tea, in his opinion, no matter how unbelievable this case is, it is actually reasonable.

"We visited the palace twice, and they finally said a serious case, all the jewels in the palace are gone, including the princess's ornaments, we suspect that this was robbed and killed by night robbers, but the strange thing is that these jewels are separated in each room, how can the night thieves collect them all?"

"Could it be someone inside the palace who did it?" Li Zhen asked knowingly.

Sun Li shook his head, "At first, we were also suspicious, but someone told us that these jewels were collected by the princess herself and made a big bag.

On the night of the murder of the princess, she took her three maids into a carriage and never returned, and the baggage containing the jewels was gone, whether she was taken away by the princess, or whether someone sneaked into the palace and stole it? ”

"Didn't the princess say what she was going to do?"

"No, no one knows!"

Li Zhen pondered for a moment, if he brought up the word 'Wei Tuan'er' at this time, then Sun Li would immediately be cheerful, and all strange things would become normal.

In fact, the facts of the case are very simple, King Teng was matched to Lingnan, and the princess was anxious to save her husband, so Wei Tuan'er secretly contacted the princess and promised to help her save her husband, on the condition that she wanted jewelry, with Wei Tuan'er's power, the princess would definitely believe it.

Maybe this is a deal in itself, but Wei Tuan'er can't do it now, but she refuses to give up the princess's jewelry, so she naturally kills people and greeds the princess's jewelry.

She thought that no one would know about the corpse Luoshui, but the corpse was washed up and surfaced after being washed to the broken pool, which formed the case of the female corpse in the broken pool.

At this time, Sun Li sighed again and said worriedly: "Now the identity of the deceased has been reported, which has caused the general anger of the royal family, and they all think that the Holy Lord has assassinated the princess, and the government and the opposition are talking about it a lot.

I heard that there is a lot of pressure on the saint, and he ordered Dali Temple to solve the case this year, otherwise it will not be as simple as losing my official position. ”

"Any other clues?" asked Li Zhen again.

Sun Li thought about it, then took out a wooden box from the box next to him, and put it in front of Li Zhen and opened it carefully, "This is also an important clue!"

Li Zhen turned out to be a beautiful emerald feather golden hairpin in the wooden box in front of him, and couldn't help but be surprised: "What clue is this?"

"This is a golden hairpin that we found from the Manji jewelry store, it is the princess's hairpin, and her name is engraved on it, but we confirmed with the palace that this hairpin is almost never worn by the princess, so this hairpin should be in that bag of jewelry, and someone sold it to the Manji jewelry store. ”

Li Zhen smiled: "Check who sold it, won't you understand?"

Sun Li shook his head and smiled bitterly and said, "We have checked, Deacon Fang of the Manji jewelry shop said that she is an ordinary woman, I can't remember what she looks like at all, and I didn't pay attention to her accent, anyway, she is in her thirties!"

Li Zhen sneered, "Do you believe it?"

"It's not a question of whether I believe it or not, Manji Jewelry Shop is the property of Princess Taiping, we interrogated her deacon, but Princess Taiping rushed in a gust of wind, took him away, and threatened me, if I dare to interrogate her deacon again, I don't want to wear this official hat. ”

Li Zhen felt a little strange in his heart, how could this matter involve Princess Taiping again, was it just a coincidence?

Sun Li was also thinking about this, he smiled bitterly: "I think it should be a coincidence, Manji Jewelry Shop is one of the three major jewelry shops in Beijing, this kind of big store is generally opened by the powerful, and it is completely normal that the owner behind it is Princess Taiping."

This green feather golden hairpin is worth 500 yuan, and only this kind of big store has the strength to buy it, I think this case should have nothing to do with Princess Taiping. ”

Li Zhen thought for a while and said, "This hairpin is lent to me temporarily, and I'll check who sold it to Manji Jewelry Shop." ”

Li Zhen was not on duty today, he didn't want to go to the palace, and when he left Dali Temple, he slid his feet to find Di Yan, looking for someone to investigate the case, Di Yan was his best assistant.

Sometimes he also thinks it's ridiculous, it was he who promised Di Yan to protect her father, and Di Yan gave him the relic box, but in the end she became his errand boy.

Thinking of the errand boy, a knowing smile appeared on the corner of Li Zhen's mouth.

"What are you laughing at?"

Di Yan walked out of the mansion, and at a glance Li Zhen had a strange smile on her face, but her eyes were looking at herself, she really knew this guy, he was smiling like this, he definitely didn't think of anything good in his heart.

"Nothing, I'm thinking"

"What are you thinking, are you wondering if I'm your follower or something?" Di Yan crossed her waist and stared at him fiercely.

Li Zhen was taken aback, this little lady is simply a roundworm in her stomach, too shrewd.

It can be seen that she is standing on the steps, looking down at herself, like a young chick that has just grown up and fighting for insects, Li Zhen couldn't help but laugh out loud.

The situation behind can be imagined, when Di Yan's fist rained down on Li Zhen's back and head, the two family members standing in front of the mansion glanced at each other, pretended not to see anything, and quietly slipped into the mansion

In a small wine shop not far from Di's mansion, Li Zhen overdrew himself and ordered a few more good dishes to make amends for the inappropriate laugh just now.

Di Yan sat in the bright light, squinting her eyes and looking at the emerald feather golden hairpin in her hand, although this was only a piece of evidence, Di Yan's eyes at this time, like all women, were just appreciating the beauty and luster of this ornament, not considering the facts of the case.

"Lao Li, what are you going to do?"

Li Zhen heard her call herself Lao Li, and couldn't help but want to laugh again, but thinking of the powder boxing she had practiced martial arts, she finally couldn't hold back her laughter.

"The shopkeeper of the Manji jewelry shop is obviously talking nonsense, and the people in Dali Temple know that they are just hindered by the obscenity of Princess Taiping, and they dare not continue to investigate, I think this is a good clue, and the truth must be taken out from the shopkeeper's mouth. ”

"Then what are you going to do? kidnap him directly?" Di Yan asked curiously.

Li Zhen shook his head, "Things can't be so simple, I'm not here to solve this broken pool case, I want to continue to test the jewelry shop again." ”

Li Zhen stepped forward and whispered a few words to Di Yan, and Di Yan took the opportunity to knock on him, and said coquettishly: "You want to instruct me to do it again." ”

Having said that, there was a rush in her eyes, this kind of thing was what she was most willing to do, and she spread her hands, "Show me the bead first!"

Li Zhen smiled helplessly, "That jewel is in Xie Daogu's hand for the time being, but I'll go to her later, you go with me." ”

In the afternoon, in front of the Manji jewelry shop next to the gate of the West Market, a woman with a sleazed face came to her, about 20 years old, with a sickly face, she held a blue cloth bag in her hand, wore a gray cloth thorn skirt, and wrapped a handkerchief on her head, looking like a village woman who had just entered the city.

As she walked up the jewelry shop steps, one of the guards stopped her, looked at her, and waved his hand impatiently, "This is not the place for you, let's go!"

The woman took out a box from the cloth bag and said slowly, "This is my ancestral jewel, I want to sell it." ”

When she opened the box, it was a sapphire the size of a pigeon's egg, shining brightly in the sun, and the guards were immediately impressed by her, and hurriedly bowed down and said, "Madame, please come in! ”
