The innate realm is actually a very magical realm, just like an improvement in the level of life. Similarly, when a person steps into the innate realm, various changes will occur.
Most of these changes are due to skills, and a few are due to unexpected encounters. In this world, it is not uncommon for people to be reborn in the innate realm and seem to have changed as individuals. Take Zuo Zhou as an example, before he practiced Taoist health-preserving skills and now he has evolved into innate skills.
It will definitely be different after that, and it is correct to describe it as a rebirth. However, this change process is gradual and changes with the progress of its internal organs being strengthened.
Therefore, in the eyes of the mirror and Di Renjie, it is completely reasonable for Li Yuanfang to turn into a little fresh meat with oily hair and powdered face... What the hell! Why would my dignified seven-foot man use the name of a dead person? Is the name Zuo Zhou not as nice as Li Yuanfang?
"Master Di, actually I..."
"There's no need to talk about irrelevant things. Let's talk about your experiences first." Di Renjie waved his hand with a solemn expression. He listened attentively while bandaging himself.
I endure it!
Anyway, he is a wanted criminal now. It doesn't make much difference whether he is Zuo Zhou or Li Yuanfang. We will wait until we get rid of the criminal status. I will let you be proud for a while, and when I expose you later, I will watch your death scene.
"The matter also starts when we set off from Jiannan Road to meet the envoys at the Turkic border..."
Zuo Zhou did not add any exaggeration to his story. He knew that the most taboo thing for investigators is to use subjective assumptions when collecting evidence.
From being ambushed in the desert to escaping with Shibi Khan, and finally to the confrontation with the killer just now, Di Renjie made his first judgment after hearing this, "It seems that our enemy is a very big organization.
, the innate master of holding a gun, the mirror just now, and the middle-aged man and old man who are obviously not under the jurisdiction of the mirror, there are such three factions, which shows that the radiation range of this organization is quite wide!"
Zuo Zhou agreed, "Yes, but fortunately all the flaws have been exposed. If you really want to check, you can follow Magistrate Hua for the line of innate masters of guns. You can start with the Money Gang for the line of mirrors and shadows. As for those
The killer...it seems that Mr. Di has some clues."
Zuo Zhou looked at Di Renjie pointedly. He was able to take action at the critical moment naturally because he had been eavesdropping outside. Since Di Renjie could clearly call out Wei Jinzhong's name, there must be a cause and effect.
Di Renjie did not avoid Zuo Zhou's gaze at all, just like Zuo Zhou and Xiaomei were glaring at each other, "Then let's exchange information. How did you know that they wanted to assassinate me? And why did you come to me? As far as I know,
The imperial court’s order to allow me to return to power is confidential, right? How did you learn about it?”
Zuo Zhou laughed heartily, feeling a little guilty... "Of course I don't have that much magical power, but it's a bit funny that you think this is a secret. If it's really a secret, why did you find these killers?"
"It makes sense, so you followed those killers?"
"That's right!" So I came with the killer! (?w?)
Zuo Zhou rolled his eyes and took out a porcelain bottle from his arms and put it on the table, "This is a method of taming snakes. Through the powerful sense of smell of snakes, I followed the person who called himself Mirror here and found that they wanted to
Assassinate Master Di."
Di Renjie picked up the bottle and said with a strange smile: "You actually know this kind of magic!"
People who know how to do brainstorming can usually determine the 'facts' as long as they have a reason, and people who know how to investigate cases are generally good at brainstorming.
"Then I wonder if Mr. Di can tell me how he confirmed the name Wei Jinzhong?"
Di Renjie smiled and said, "Do you know why I was demoted to Pengze as the county magistrate three years ago?"
It's not me who demoted you!... "I don't know about my humble position, but I can guess."
"Tell me about it."
Zuo Zhou reached out and poured himself a cup of tea, sounding like a storyteller, "Your Excellency has an excellent official reputation, and he is definitely not the kind of person who is corrupt and perverts the law. Your intelligence and agility are also well-known throughout the court, and you will certainly not be dismissed due to lack of ability."
Demoted. Besides, there is only one explanation for being demoted to the county magistrate without any actions such as fines. Lord Di is probably making a mistake that is not a mistake!"
Di Renjie's eyes sparkled with light, and Zuo Zhou felt that it should be a sign of appreciation.
"In that case, are you still going to ask?"
Zuo Zhou was silent. Does this count as digging a hole for himself?
What is a 'mistake that is not a mistake'? It means that he did not break the law or violate public order and good customs, but he did something that made the emperor extremely unhappy. Therefore, the emperor's punishment for him will not follow the same procedure as a normal wrongdoer.
Emperor Qin's wisdom and martial prowess are recognized all over the world. Even the first Khan of the Turks admires him. Is this what he should know about something that can make Emperor Qin angry?
Should!
Zuo Zhou is most annoyed by people who hide things. If it really involves his life and safety, why can't he know about it? At worst, he can hide it in his heart.
"Out of the mouth of Master Di, into the ears of a humble official, that's all."
Di Renjie's eyes were full of admiration, "Curiosity, not afraid of death, and persistence in getting to the bottom of things are actually materials for handling cases. I will be a pioneer under Chen Ying."
"..."
Aren’t you afraid of death? I am afraid. What kind of secret is this? If you know it, you will die. Is it too late for me to regret it now?
"Have Li Weiwei ever heard of the name 'Lao Ai'?"
"..."
Zuo Zhou's expression remained unchanged, but there was already a huge wave in his heart. He was careless! This is a royal scandal!
Di Renjie said slowly, "After Emperor Qin put down the war, he made great efforts to develop people's livelihood and let the people live and work in peace and contentment. Everyone in the world spread the word about Emperor Qin's wisdom and prowess, and talents from all over the world came to serve, and the national power of Qin increased day by day. I was also a member of the Tang Dynasty at the time.
He was the governor of the state, but he felt that the court was dim and had no way to serve the country. He exiled himself for a while. Later, when he learned about what Emperor Qin had done, he came to serve. At first, he did not have high expectations. However, Emperor Qin did not mind that I was in Tang Dynasty.
My status as an official is important to me, so I have no way to repay this kindness!"
After Di Renjie sighed, he continued: "But this has its advantages and disadvantages. It is not only talented people who come to take action, but also some people with ulterior motives. After all, Emperor Qin is a mortal body, and he cannot detect it with a pair of eyes.
In every corner of the court, some forces gradually began to show their prominence. Among them was a group of traitors headed by Lao Ai!"
"Seeing these traitors and sycophants doing evil, we loyal and brave people were anxious in our hearts, so we began to secretly collect evidence. Just three years ago, I united eight loyal people from various departments in the imperial court to jointly impeach Lao Ai. But I didn't want to... But I didn't want to
On the eve of the impeachment, I was attacked by a killer. Eight loyal men and their entire family, including hundreds of people, were killed. However, I escaped because I was trying the case in Dali Temple that night. When I learned about it, I found that even the evidence had been destroyed.
!”
Zuo Zhou felt quite heavy when he heard this. The world is so cruel. The difference between good guys and bad guys lies in the bottom line. Bad guys also have a trick to 'deal with troublesome people', which always works wonders.
"What happens after that?"
"After that?" Di Renjie sneered, "Actually, I found a lot of evidence at the beginning, including evidence that Lao Ai was embezzling money, perverting the law, and killing people. Similarly, there was also evidence of Lao Ai's lewdness in the palace. But this involved the royal dignity, so I hid that part of the evidence.
I didn’t tell the eight loyal men when I came down.”
Zuo Zhou understood when he said this, "So in that case, you have no choice but to expose this scandal!"
"Yes, I will never let those loyal people die in vain!" Then he shook his head helplessly, "But I feel sorry for Emperor Qin. No matter how wise and powerful people are, they also care about reputation, especially when Lao Ai's matter involves Emperor Qin.
My biological mother was the Queen Mother, so I was demoted to Pengze County to be the county magistrate."
Zuo Zhou nodded, Emperor Qin was being generous if he didn't kill you, but he just kept you far away and out of sight.
"What about Lao Ai?"
Di Renjie looked a little ugly when he said this, "Emperor Qin originally wanted to kill him, but... But Emperor Qin's biological mother begged for mercy and even threatened her with her life! Emperor Qin still cared about the relationship between mother and son and did not kill Lao Ai.
He was just castrated and kicked out of the palace. However, he destroyed the Lao and Ai tribes and drowned the two children he had with the Queen Mother. Finally, he made it clear that he would sever the mother-child relationship with the Queen Mother and imprison her in Yongcheng, never to see her again!"
Zuo Zhou was not surprised when he heard this. It was similar to the history he knew. "After that, no one really believes that Emperor Qin let Lao Ai go, right?"
Di Renjie shook his head, "It's strange to say that there is no trace of Lao Ai after he left the palace, and no one has seen him again."
Zuo Zhou frowned, "It seems that there was a mastermind behind the scenes at that time. So, the eunuch Liu Jin who is currently taking over the military power of Jiannan Road is a member of the Lao Ai power group?"
"Yes, the original evidence could only bring down Lao Ai but could not be used against others. However, these traitors survived by chance. This time, I am afraid that Emperor Qin also had some doubts about the Jiedushi of Jiannan Road, so he
I’m coming back because these people and I are old rivals, huh.”
