Zuo Zhou remembered that in the years before time travel, there was a popular movie line called "People's prejudices are like a big mountain." Now he deeply understands it, but he has the same helplessness and the same only compromise.
He still remembered that a few years before the time travel, there was a very good TV series called "The Twelve Hours of Chang'an". There was an old and talented character in it called Xu Bin, who was the creator of the big case writing technique and the person behind the whole conspiracy.
The initiator. But unfortunately, because of his low status, even if his name was revealed in front of the emperor, the emperor still didn't believe him and kept asking who instigated it.
It seems ridiculous to think about it, but it is extremely true!
The same is true in this world. Before Emperor Qin advocated vigorously developing education, most of the people were illiterate and could not even write their own names. The status of military households was very low, far inferior to that of scholars. One person failed in the imperial examination for more than ten years.
Every time a poor scholar goes to a remote mountainous area, he can be treated like a father, with good wine, good food, and even good girls.
Similarly, Zuo Zhou is not as good as Li Yuanfang. Li Yuanfang is a native of Daqin, are you? Li Yuanfang is the confidant of Jiedushi, are you? Li Yuanfang is the best scout for the vanguard in the army, are you?
What? You said you are an innate master? How could an innate master be just a little-known soldier? You must be Li Yuanfang pretending to be...
You see, this logic is reasonable. After all, the entire escort team of the envoy was killed, and only Li Yuanfang, the most powerful martial artist, had the chance to escape and was qualified to bring out the truth.
This is just like Zuo Zhou handing over the body of Shibi Khan to Lu Qinghou. Your identity sometimes determines what you can have. What should not belong to you will only bring trouble.
"What are your plans for the future, sir?"
Di Renjie saw Zuo Zhou regaining his composure after a moment of silence. He nodded and continued: "It's up to you to mediate with Jili Khan. I will give you my handwriting and official seal in a while. Although he was demoted to Pengze as the county magistrate, he was not the one before.
I have become quite famous in recent years, so you should be able to meet Geely Khan."
"As for me..." Di Renjie said with a serious look on his face, "The imperial edict has been issued, and I can't disobey it. So I still have to go back to the imperial capital. After I go back, I will keep the food, grass and military pay of the Jiannan Road border army, and at the same time, I will
The government and the opposition are trying to delay the time for Liu Jin to completely control the frontier army. You need to quickly rush to Jiannan Road after stabilizing Jili Khan!"
"What do you need me to do?"
"Jiannan Dao Jiedushi Chen Ying and more than 20,000 people under his command cannot be killed all at once. There must be fish that slip through the net. According to my judgment, once I delay their control of the frontier army, then
Liu Jin will inevitably intensify the hunt for those who slipped through the net. If all the evidence is destroyed by then, even I will not be able to overturn the case. Your mission is to rescue people and collect evidence, remember! This involves rebellion.
For a serious crime, the witnesses and physical evidence must be complete!”
Zuo Zhou frowned, a little confused. Jiannan Road is so big, where on earth can I find witnesses and physical evidence? Well, as for witnesses, he can think of one or two based on his previous understanding of the army, but the physical evidence...
…
Di Renjie saw Zuo Zhou's doubts and clicked on the table, "The imperial court's notice only said that Chen Ying was executed, but there was no detailed list of the generals under his command. This shows that there must be some who escaped."
Yes, you must find some people who have experienced it personally. As for physical evidence, Chen Ying is a stubborn and die-hard man. If he had not obtained a special token, he would never have marched towards the imperial capital with his army. Take this incident as an example
, he took 20,000 people back to the imperial capital but still left the remaining more than 300,000 troops to garrison at the border, which shows that he still has not forgotten his responsibilities."
Zuo Zhou nodded. The entire Jiannan Road garrison was close to 400,000, but Chen Ying only brought 20,000 back to the imperial capital. From this point of view, it didn't look like a rebellion.
"This special token refers to..."
"The tokens that Chen Ying can trust are nothing more than imperial edicts, tiger talismans, imperial swords, or special instructions from the intelligence department. After I return to the imperial capital, I will focus on investigating the intelligence agencies to cooperate with you, and I will also count those
There are some things that may cause Chen Ying to misunderstand, and I will contact you after eliminating some of them."
Zuo Zhou stood up slowly, "But if I leave, what will happen if those killers return?"
Di Renjie smiled confidently, "You think that my service as an official in Daqin these years was in vain. If you count the time, it's time for my friends to come."
Woo~~~
As soon as he finished speaking, just like Zuo Zhou's archery match with Di Renjie's pretense, a melodious flute sound slowly came out, surrounding everyone's ears, like a breeze blowing in the willows, teasing people's hearts bit by bit.
.
"Hey, the sound of the flute is haunting and full of feminine tenderness. Isn't it Master Di's former confidante?"
Ever since Zuo Zhou learned Pei Umbrella, he has become very sensitive to the true meaning of feminine martial arts, and he can feel the special feminine charm from the sound of the flute.
Di Renjie laughed loudly, pushed the door open, looked up, looked at the beautiful woman standing on the wall and said with a smile: "Qinghui, we have been apart for three years, how wonderful it is!"
The smile on Zuo Zhou's face was a little stiff now. Standing on the wall was a beautiful woman. Judging from her age, she looked similar to Di Renjie. She was dressed in a blue and white gauze skirt, with a sword hanging from her waist and a bamboo flute in her hand. She had an otherworldly temperament.
Almost slapped you roughly in the face.
This feels bad. Di Renjie came from the Tang Dynasty. The master of the Tang Dynasty was named Qinghui. He was good at using swords and had such an unworldly temperament. For some reason, Zuo Zhou was reminded of a group of women who like to influence politics.
"Master Di's old friend is still in the innate realm, so you can rest assured that he is in such a humble position."
Di Renjie looked back at him, paused briefly and introduced with a smile: "This is Fan Qinghui, an old friend of mine in the Tang Dynasty. It was thanks to her three years ago that I was able to successfully expose Lao Ai's secret while being pursued by the killer.
offense."
Already came to Daqin three years ago?
Zuo Zhou was smiling on the surface, but his mind was already spinning wildly. Emperor Qin put down the war six years ago, and other countries were speculating and did not dare to act rashly. Even if he thought with his heels, those years were probably the time when spies from all countries were the most rampant.
What did Qinghui want to do when he came to Daqin at that time?
Think about what you know about the behavior of Fan Qinghui and Cihang Jingzhai. They... want to interfere with the inheritance of the throne!
Zuo Zhou was certain in his heart, but Fan Qinghui looked at Zuo Zhou with a flash of light in his eyes, "Innate Taoist body! Brother Di has so many talents under his command, my little sister admires him."
Di Renjie looked at Zuo Zhou in surprise, and explained nonchalantly: "This is Li Yuanfang, the pioneer of the Jiannan Road frontier army, and he has only recently broken through to the innate realm. I'm afraid Qinghui may have misjudged him!"
Fan Qinghui was slightly surprised, "Recently?" He flew up and came to the two of them lightly, as if he wanted to take a closer look.
However, Di Renjie didn't give him a chance. He gave Zuo Zhou a serious push and said, "Act according to our plan. Let's go."
Zuo Zhou wanted to leave quickly, so he clasped his fists and pulled Xiaomei away. Fan Qinghui asked again but was blocked by Di Renjie, "I thought it was someone else who came, but I didn't expect it was Qinghui. I'm afraid it's not just to protect me."
Fan Qinghui looked back and said with a smile: "Brother Di is joking. My brother's safety is naturally the most important thing. However, Qinghui did hear that there were rumors in the court that Emperor Qin wanted to grant amnesty to the world, so that the world can respect Taoism and worship Buddha again!"
