In fact, Zuo Zhou doesn't have much experience in solving crimes. But as someone who has watched more than a thousand episodes of Conan, he naturally knows that when encountering serial murders, he must look for the common points of the victims.
So what do these exterminated officials have in common? Are they all officials?
Thinking about the many murderers in black in that painting, could it be that Mr. Ximen is still a lunatic who kills the rich and helps the poor?
Zuo Zhou first took out the articles of the adults, and after browsing them one by one, he suddenly realized that these were not a group of corrupt officials, but a group of loyal and courageous martyrs.
The articles they wrote during the imperial examinations all exposed the current abuses. Of course, such critical articles are actually of no use. Just like many literary and artistic films that mock the dark side of society, they are nothing more than the rage of a group of incompetent people. Except in the extremely angry
There is nothing you can do but continue to be angry about the situation.
But since they can become Jinshi with such articles, it is not easy for them. They not only exposed the current shortcomings, but also proposed solutions, and the success rate of this method is quite high.
Well, to put it simply, that is talent visible to the naked eye!
Well, Mr. Ximen ≈ the possibility of being a bad guy 1
Zuo Zhou rubbed his temples, a little annoyed, but continued to look through the information. Eight adults were exterminated overnight, and Sheng Dingtian was the last one. As for the murderer, he wrote a name in this column, "Thirteen Murderers"
', followed by three words 'Already executed!'
Zuo Zhou: "..."
This should be regarded as evidence that there is a moth in the court. Not to mention the fact that Mr. Ximen was still alive before, just the number 'thirteen' is wrong.
Zuo Zhou took out the painting again. There were fourteen people in this painting alone. What about the ones that were not included?
Apart from anything else, there are many residents in that area in Xicheng District. No matter how much you think about it, you can't wipe out the whole family quietly. There should be sentries in the surrounding area, or you can directly bribe the police to provide cover?
Also, it is said that the family was wiped out, but the little girl probably survived. In other words, someone in the court hopes that this matter will end here?
So is this person good or bad? There are too many questions, where should I check this time?
Zuo Zhou paused for a moment and continued to read the information, and found that it was Di Renjie who was summarizing the case!
This name is so unexpected. It was the case that Lao Di originally supervised? Could it be that Di Renjie, a thick-browed man with big eyes, also betrayed the revolution?
Lu Qinghou saw Zuo Zhou's expression turn bad for a moment, and asked worriedly: "Master Li, are you okay?"
"Qinghou, tell me, can a person who hates evil really become a bad person?"
Lu Qinghou didn't understand what Zuo Zhou meant, but he still thought hard and replied: "Having hatred for evil doesn't mean that you won't do bad things. There are quite a few people in the world who hate themselves."
Zuo Zhou took a deep breath, listening to your words is better than listening to your words. What you said makes so much sense!
Helplessly closing all the documents, Zuo Zhou sat up with a depressed look, "Forget it, I'm in a bad mood today. Let's talk about it later. I'll treat you to a drink another day."
"I want to concentrate on preparing for the exam."
"I know, I'm just being polite."
"..."
…
Not long after Zuo Zhou left Dali Temple, Yuchi Zhenjin approached Marquis Lu Qing. Of course, he would not hide such a thing, so in less than a quarter of an hour, the information of the eight adults was placed in front of Di Renjie.
"Yuan Fang...is this what you are looking for?" Di Renjie's face became increasingly ugly.
Yuchi Zhenjin nodded in agreement, but felt more and more that this matter was not simple, and couldn't help but look at the documents, "Huh? There are actually their imperial examination articles among these files?"
Just as Zuo Zhou suspected at first, this is indeed not normal.
Di Renjie had a sad look on his face, "I did it. They are my close friends and they are capable people who are loyal to the country. In order to commemorate them, I included their articles in the case file and wanted them to read it."
Look, their ideas have been implemented to comfort their spirits in heaven!"
Yuchi Zhenjin nodded suddenly, and then sighed and praised, good officials are all worthy of respect. You may not believe it, corrupt officials sometimes respect those good officials more than the common people.
"This is a case that your Excellency handled before, and the murderer has been executed. There is no problem with that!" Yuchi Zhenjin saw the last signature.
Di Renjie nodded, there is indeed no problem, it should be... no problem!
Di Renjie's expression was filled with doubt at first, and then as if he thought of something, he said in a deep voice: "Yuchi, come with me to the Taifu's Mansion."
"yes!"
The two set off immediately, but Di Renjie stopped just as he stepped out of Dali Temple. He slowly raised his head and looked at a restaurant diagonally across the road.
On the third floor, Zuo Zhou was sitting by the window, sipping his glass of wine.
The two people's eyes met. Without dodge or surprise, Zuo Zhou called to the shopkeeper for a jar of wine, and flew down beside Di Renjie with it.
"Where to go?"
"Taifu's Mansion!"
Zuo Zhou suddenly realized, "I've always noticed that old man doesn't like him, he has a dirty beard, huh!"
Yuchi Zhenjin was shocked: "You knew we were going to...were you planning to follow Mr. Di?"
Zuo Zhou glanced at this guy, how could he say such a thing so blatantly? It wouldn't be good if everyone was embarrassed. Besides, if you ask me that, I'm sure I won't admit it!
"Where did I follow you? Didn't this jump out!"
Yuchi Zhenjin's eyes widened, "That's because Master Di has figured you out."
Zuo Zhou chuckled, "Anyway, you have no evidence."
"you……"
"Okay!" Di Renjie frowned and interrupted the two people who started to cast spells and spray, "You bring wine?"
Zuo Zhou tipped the wine jar in his hand, "Of course you need some gifts when you come to visit, or... prepare to throw a glass of wine as a sign of honor!"
Di Renjie rubbed his temples, strode away, and didn't want to talk to him at all. Zuo Zhou and Yuchi Zhenjin were like two bodyguards...well, I can't say bodyguards, it's unlucky, but Zuo Zhou remembered his success rate.
A zero bodyguard career.
The place where Zhuge Zheng and I lived was given by the Emperor of Qin, and it was not far from the palace, so Di Renjie and the others did not spend much time getting there.
Taifu is the assistant minister and the emperor's teacher, but in fact there are differences between Taifu and Taifu.
Some Taifus are powerful figures among the three princes, while others are just teachers of the princes who have gained more reputations. Zhuge Zhengwo belongs to the latter group. Unless Fusu really ascends the throne, he will have nothing in his life.
change.
But after all, he is a Taifu, so he still has the style that he should have. This mansion is quite large, and it has a low-key, luxurious and connotative feeling.
Various items commonly used for home decoration are replaced here with vegetation, flowers and plants, turning your home into a garden.
"Three masters, please follow me to the living room and wait. Mr. Zhuge will be here soon." The person leading the way for the three of them was a young man in gray, who looked polite and intelligent.
Di Renjie obviously knew this young man and said with a smile: "Dayong, bring over all your good tea."
Dayong shook his head with a bit of mischief, "Master Di tricked me, Mr. Zhuge will definitely show no concern when he finds out. When you leave, he will definitely punish me to copy the book."
"Hey, I'm good at copying books. I often ask Axiang to do this." Zuo Zhou was happy.
Dayong looked at Zuo Zhou and sneered: "Then I should have something in common with Sister Axiang."
"You'd better not, you'll get beaten!"
"Hahaha, why did General Li scare the child?" Before everyone could sit down, they saw Zhuge Zhengwo walking from the backyard with a big smile.
Being able to come over so quickly to meet him, it was obvious that he valued Di Renjie very much. But Zuo Zhou's eyes fell on the girl behind him.
What do you say about this girl? She is beautiful and has a great temperament, but the wheelchair she is sitting on is a bit eye-catching. Well, the guy pushing the wheelchair behind her is also a bit annoying.
Probably because he had been scolded, Jian Chen saw Zuo Zhou at a glance, "It's you!"
"You're just a commoner, you're so rude, call me a sir!"
"...You have such great authority!"
Zhuge Zheng and I couldn't laugh or cry. He waved his hand to interrupt the flashing glances of the two of them in the air. "Jianchen, you know, this is my disciple, Qing Qing. Qing Qing, I have met Master Di and Master Li."
The young girl was sitting in a wheelchair, leaning slightly, "I've met Mr. Di and Mr. Li."
Di Renjie nodded and was about to speak when Zuo Zhou jumped in first and stared at the ruthless legs, "Girl, are these legs... completely broken?"
"..."
Everyone's expressions suddenly became exciting. What should I do? I almost wanted to hit him.
Zuo Zhou coughed lightly, raised his head and raised his chest, "Don't get me wrong, I am very good at treating broken legs and feet. The more broken the legs, the better. It's easy to treat broken ones!"
The big white legs of the four famous fishermen are so exciting just thinking about them.
The girl seemed to be quite well-educated, with a cold face but no reproachful tone, "Thank you for your kindness, but the meridians in the legs have been poisoned and have become necrotic, so there is no way to cure it."
It's not that there is no cure. Zuo Zhou raised his eyebrows but didn't waste any more time. He had a judgment in his heart, haha, big gain!
After all, the martial arts novels I read in my previous life were too complicated. If you want to say Tutor Zhuge, I might not be able to remember it. If you want to say Zhuge Zhengwo, Zhuge Shenhou, etc., then the four words that pop up in Zuo Zhou’s mind are:
The Four Famous Catchers'.
It’s just...the four famous actors in so many movies and TV dramas are comparable to idol boy bands. Some are warm guys, some are cool guys, they are romantic, mature and stable, and their business abilities are extremely outstanding. Fans shout out wherever they go.
'Feel sorry for giegie!'
There is only one version, which makes Wuqing the female version, and he went to see this movie because of the female version of Qingqing. Well, she is still beautiful, but she can't say more, because she will feel sorry for the ticket price, after all, it is inside
The most outstanding characters have all collapsed.
But thanks to Zuo Zhou's LSP heart, he vaguely remembered the plot. Although it will definitely be different in this world, the general direction should be able to overlap.
Zuo Zhou calmed down and sat down. Di Renjie next to him did not chat, and said straight to the point: "I came here this time to understand some official matters, about... the thirteen murderers!"
