No matter how long the long night is, there will always be daylight.
When dawn comes, the stories that happened in the dark night become stories.
By daybreak, many people knew about the story that happened last night. An assassination ended without any success. The young warrior at the center of the incident disappeared into the night. Zuo Wei went crazy in the middle of the night, and then changed again in the middle of the night.
They were so silent. Just before dawn, people learned the news that the Marquis of Huainan who had conquered the world with His Majesty the Emperor was dead.
The big shots in the capital knew a lot about the Marquis of Huainan. They knew that the warrior who followed His Majesty the Emperor had outstanding achievements. They also knew that he had faded away from the government and the public for more than ten years because of old things. Just when almost everyone was about to forget him, he died.
.
Anyone can figure out some of the connections.
But what everyone is curious about is where Chen Chao went.
After that night, Chen Chao disappeared.
…
…
"You are at the center of the incident, unable to escape, let alone decide your own future. It is an excellent choice to disappear at this moment. Leaving the Divine Capital and leaving Daliang, there is no need to embarrass Your Majesty."
Every spring, Mr. Zaifu would receive excellent spring tea from Bailuzhou, and he would also invite his friend Tai Shiling to make tea and chat at his house. Now it is time to drink tea again, and it just so happens that such a big thing has happened to this god.
, naturally the topic was focused on this.
Tai Shiling looked at the white mist rising from the tea in front of him and said with emotion: "With his status, your majesty can tolerate him for so long. Your majesty's heart is indeed not ordinary."
It can be said that the civil servants of the Manchu Dynasty both love and hate His Majesty the Emperor. Taishi Ling
As a historian, every word and deed of His Majesty the Emperor must be recorded in the book, so it will naturally appear more objective.
Master Zaifu picked up the tea bowl, blew on the hot air, and said: "The Marquis of Huainan and others are veterans who followed His Majesty to conquer the world, so no matter what Your Majesty thinks, they are not willing to see the country be returned to the lineage of the former prince, so
The assassination that night was bound to happen, but they underestimated the young man and failed to accomplish it."
Tai Shiling asked: "What do you think, Your Majesty?"
Master Zaifu asked back: "You write about His Majesty every day, why can't you see His Majesty?"
Tai Shiling hesitated for a moment, then shook his head and said: "The emperor's heart is deep, I really can't see through it."
Lord Zaifu thought for a while and said: "I really don't know what your Majesty thinks, but it is obvious that people like the Marquis of Huainan will only believe that your Majesty actually wants to kill that young man, so they will do it."
Such a thing."
Tai Shiling took a sip of hot tea and asked curiously: "Then what will your Majesty do?"
Master Zaifu sighed with emotion: "Your Majesty ascended the throne with martial arts, and he is an extremely powerful martial artist, but his mind is still meticulous. The emperor's mental skills are not weaker than those of the previous emperors. He has not taken any action for so long, whether it is because he feels regret or because of guilt.
Either because he really appreciates it, or because he wants to use this to find all the shabby people behind him, so I won’t kill him for now, it’s not very important now.”
"Nowadays, many people want to force His Majesty to make a choice, forcing His Majesty to make a choice in a very short period of time."
Master Zaifu looked at Tai Shiling and said, "There is something I always feel is wrong."
Tai Shiling asked: "What?"
What are you talking about?"
"They said that in the capital of the gods, whoever Your Majesty wants to kill will be left alive? I have always felt that it is not His Majesty's decision to kill some people or not, and when to kill them."
Master Zaifu held the tea bowl and said with a smile: "It's not long before His Majesty holds a banquet. I think there will be a result at that banquet."
"I actually want to take this opportunity to see what kind of person His Majesty is."
…
…
Time will not stop moving forward because of the lack of a certain person, because it does not belong to anyone, so after that night, time has been moving forward quietly. No one mentioned the story that happened that night, even
Ye Dayuan, who threatened to write a letter, gave up the idea for some unknown reason.
After a few quiet days, the last court meeting before the banquet was held.
This court meeting was not peaceful, and many stories happened.
The death of the Marquis of Huainan has been brought up. Although this Marquis has long faded out of the sight of the government and the public, he is one of the few Marquises in the Liang Dynasty. Now that he has died an untimely death, it is natural to find out.
"The Marquis of Huainan died with a sharp weapon, but there was no sword energy. It should have been a stab wound. Chen Chao, the deputy commander of the left guard, also disappeared that night. I and others suspected that he was the murderer!"
At the court meeting, several warriors stood up and asked His Majesty the Emperor to thoroughly investigate this matter.
Emperor Liang looked at these military attaches and was silent for a long time without speaking.
"Your Majesty, the Marquis of Huainan has made great contributions to the court. If he doesn't care about such a big thing as his own death, wouldn't it make the whole court and the public feel chilly?"
The military attachés knelt in the main hall and spoke sincerely.
They are all
He is a person who once conquered the world with His Majesty the Emperor in front of him. The saying that everyone will be prosperous and everyone will suffer losses is also very reasonable.
"In this case, let Dali Temple investigate."
His Majesty the Emperor sat on the dragon throne and finally spoke. However, after saying these words, many people's expressions changed.
Han Pu, the minister of Dali Temple, was a well-known lonely minister in the court. He had few friends, so when he was asked to investigate this case, no one could find anything wrong with it.
Dali Temple was originally responsible for such things. After all, Song Ting was the Marquis of Huainan.
After handling this matter, His Majesty the Emperor, perhaps feeling a little irritable, waved his hand and ended the court meeting.
After the court ended, the courtiers were all in a heavy mood. They originally wanted to use this incident to see His Majesty's attitude, but no one seemed to be able to see what His Majesty's attitude was.
But everyone was obviously waiting for the banquet afterwards, so no one said anything.
…
…
Dali Temple.
Han Pu, dressed in official robes, was sitting on a chair. In the lobby stood a group of officials from Dali Temple, as well as the body that had long since cooled down.
Song Ting, Marquis of Huainan, a distinguished man, died a rather simple death.
Han Pu's expression was very solemn. Based on his ability to handle cases for many years, he could easily tell that Song Ting died under the knife, and the aura remaining on his body was actually exactly the same as that of the deputy commander of the left guard.
In other words, Chen Chao had no intention of hiding anything when he killed him.
At this moment, it is of course very simple to close the case, but Han Pu knows better that it is obviously not possible to close the case like this.
"Marquis Huainan, let me check who he has met these days.
check."
"Sir, since the cause of death has been identified, shouldn't arresting the suspect be the most important thing to do at the moment?" The officials of Dali Temple were very confused. Looking at their master, the whole government and the public were watching this matter. Obviously, they should
The best thing is to solve the case as soon as possible.
Han Pu was a little irritated. He looked at the official in front of him and said, "Your Majesty asked Dali Temple to investigate. He said he would only investigate who killed the Marquis of Huainan?"
The official was startled, "Is there any hidden secret in this?"
"Nonsense, how many years has this Marquis of Huainan been living in seclusion? He didn't get involved with anything in his daily life, and he died for no reason? The cause and effect were not investigated clearly?"
Han Pu said calmly: "Does your Majesty only want the murderer?"
The official did not dare to speak, but lowered his head and retreated. Not long after, the entire Dali Temple became busy, with people walking around everywhere. Countless officials came in and out, holding countless files.
"The Marquis of Huainan hosted a banquet for others a few days before his death. This can be seen from the vegetables and fruits purchased in the small courtyard, but it is difficult for us to find out who the guests were."
Dali Temple is worthy of being one of the three law divisions of the Daliang Dynasty. The efficiency of handling cases is extremely efficient, and a lot of things were found in just half a day.
But something is broken here.
Han Pu frowned and said: "That night, the residence of the deputy commander of Zuowei was destroyed. Where are the corpses? Where are they? Find them and find out their identities."
Having been the minister of Dali Temple for many years, Han Pu naturally has the keenest judgment ability.
"Those corpses were taken away by Zuowei and should be stored in Zuowei's Yamen now, but the commander of Zuowei seems not to have appeared in the Yamen these days.
"
If an official is in trouble, the Criminal Department and other yamen will all cooperate, but the Zuowei yamen, which is part of the guard envoy lineage, does not fall under their jurisdiction.
"Sir, do you want to ask the palace for a decree?"
Someone spoke, a little worried.
After all, the person involved is still the deputy commander of their left guard.
Han Pu was silent for a moment and said: "I will go there in person, you can continue to check other things."
After saying this, Han Pu got on the sedan chair leaving Dali Temple and rushed to Zuowei Yamen.
Logically speaking, the Zuowei Yamen should have one commander and two deputy commanders. However, as the Chen Dynasty killed a deputy commander before, there were no additional deputy commanders. Now Song Lian and Chen Chao
Even though they were not here, it was Weng Quan who made the decision.
Weng Quan welcomed Han Pu in and took the Dali Temple minister towards the morgue without any hesitation.
After seeing the corpses, Han Pu quickly walked out, frowned and asked, "Do you have any other clues?"
In fact, he should have known long ago that the identity of these corpses could not be found out, but sometimes, he had to try again.
Weng Quan smiled bitterly and said: "Commander Song said that Mr. Han is the best at investigating cases. If Mr. Han can't find out, no one will be able to find out."
"Where is Commander Song? Can you take me to see him?"
Han Pu thought for a while and decided to go see Song Lian.
Weng Quan did not refuse, and soon took Han Pu to see Song Lian.
Song Lian was drinking at home.
When Han Pu met Song Lian, his first sentence was very straightforward, "Song Ting, the Marquis of Huainan, died. It was the Chen Dynasty who killed him, but I want to know why the Chen Dynasty killed Song Ting. What happened that night? You know
