Di Zhiyuan couldn't help but exclaimed about his background. He originally served as Bingzhou's legal officer and had seen such a powerful weapon in the Bingzhou army.
This thing is a powerful weapon for the Zhou Dynasty to fight against Jiannu and Daqian, and it is invincible.
The sharp weapon here was used to rob and kill the young minister of Dali Temple in the imperial court. "Sir, is the man behind the scenes really Feng Qian!?"
Feng Qian is the grandson of Duke Feng Wuyi of the State of Ying, and the contemporary Duke of Ying, Feng Shi, also holds military power, so it is relatively easy to obtain the Tianji Crossbow.
When he heard that the attacker had a military background, Di Zhiyuan's first reaction was Feng Qian.
Moreover, Yang Qingyuan went to the capital to investigate the relationship between the fan pendant and Feng Qian's folding fan.
After finding out the results, it is reasonable for Feng Qian to want to kill someone and silence him.
"By the way! There is one more thing." Yang Qingyuan paused, "While I was returning to Beijing, Wei Donglai, the Minister of Punishment, and Li Weiguang, the Censor of Zuodu of the Metropolitan Procuratorate, came to intercede."
"The relationship between Duke Ying and the civil servants is so close?!"
The nobles and the civil servants have always been at odds with each other. Civil and military officials were in opposition, and the pure and the dirty were separated.
"Do you really think Duke Ying can ask Qiu Guan of the Criminal Department and Zuo Du Yushi of the Imperial Procuratorate!?"
Di Zhiyuan was also silent. He was proficient in reasoning and solving cases, but he was not ignorant of government affairs. He naturally knew that civil servants and generals could distinguish themselves.
"Isn't it Feng Qian?!" Song Hui's father asked suspiciously. From their point of view, Feng Qian was the biggest suspect now.
"Compared to Feng Qian, Zhou Mingsheng is more likely!"
Yang Qingyuan said, "The person who attacked me is probably someone from the Changlin Army!"
The Changlin Army is the Prince's personal army and is subject to independent control by the Prince.
Taizu Taizu of the Great Zhou Dynasty himself was also a master of military affairs! Therefore, when cultivating heirs, he paid attention to both civil and military skills. Now that he is the prince, his status is stable, and there is no such thing as the sordidness of fighting with the same roommate for the throne.
Therefore, Taizu did not hone his military capabilities, so he specially set up the Changlin Army.
Taizu Zeng said: "To be a king, you don't have to practice martial arts, but you must not know how to fight!"
Throughout the past and present, whenever a dynasty's external military force is powerful and its military virtues are abundant, its rulers know all about military affairs.
Only those who know the military affairs should not doubt the commander.
In order to cultivate the monarch's basic military common sense and military practical knowledge, the Changlin Army came into being!
Facts have proved that Taizu’s decision was extremely correct!
Now that they have been put into practice, they have a very clear understanding of military practice at the middle and lower levels. They know how the captains train troops and how to command them!? So they began to delegate power to the generals in the army to a limited extent.
It is also because of this that Yongan almost never loses in a war with foreign countries!
"Sir, are you sure?!"
Di Zhiyuan and Song Huifu were a little unbelievable!
The prince was known for his leisurely reputation and was known for his benevolence. He was also courteous to virtuous officials and was able to suppress the King of Chu's party in the court.
The King of Chu was brave and decisive, and he also had the qualifications of a pioneering king.
Therefore, the two sides have been in a stalemate between North Korea and China.
If the King of Chu sent troops to surround and kill Yang Qingyuan in order to cover up the crimes of his wife and brother, Song Huifu and Di Zhiyuan thought it was still possible.
But if the prince did this to kill people and ministers for his wife and brother, Song Huifu and Di Zhiyuan would find it difficult to accept it!
"It is still unknown whether the prince is involved in the case. After all, Zhou Mingsheng's biological sister is the prince's concubine, and she is favored beyond measure. With this background, it is reasonable for Zhou Mingsheng to mobilize the Chang Lin Army."
After Yang Qingyuan finished speaking, he took out the fan pendant and folding fan from his arms.
"I went back to the capital city to check the possibility of Feng Qian committing the crime! I served as a supervisor and confirmed that the pendant and the folding fan were indeed carved from the same piece of jade. They were awarded to Feng Wuyi, Duke of Ying State, by Taizu.
of."
Song Hui's father and Di Zhiyuan did not interrupt Yang Qingyuan's words.
The three of them have worked together for three years, and the two of them also know Yang Qingyuan well. Since he feels that Feng Qian is not suspicious, there must be a reason!
"After I was confirmed by the craftsman supervisor, I went to visit Feng Qian at the Duke of Ying's mansion. You may not believe it! This Feng Qian...he...he..."
With Yang Qingyuan's face, he really couldn't tell himself that this Feng Qian was his ardent fan!
"My lord, do you have anything to hide?!"
Seeing Yang Qingyuan's troubled expression, Song Hui's father asked thoughtfully.
"Hey! You two don't know something! The reason why Feng Qian behaves strangely is actually because he has admired me for a long time..."
"..."
Song Hui's father and Di Zhiyuan both looked at Yang Qingyuan with inexplicable and strange eyes.
It is true that Yang Qingyuan was famous in broadcasting in Zhou Dynasty, and he had many followers and admirers, but it is really strange to praise himself!
"I went directly to him to ask questions without any preparation, but I didn't find anything abnormal. Even his heartbeat and breathing were normal. With Feng Qian's martial arts, he couldn't do this in front of me!"
Yang Qingyuan is very confident about this. His innate body makes his spiritual sense far better than ordinary people, and his innate Tao pupils allow him to see everything clearly.
Taken together, this is much more reliable than the micro-expression observation of a certain intelligence agency!
"According to Feng Qian, this fan pendant was lost a few months ago while drinking at Songhe Tower. At that time, Zhou Mingsheng and Zhao Chenzhao, a doctor in the Ministry of Punishment, were also present at the banquet! After everyone was drunk, the fan pendant was lost.
It disappeared!"
When they heard the names of Zhao Chenzhao and Zhou Mingsheng, Song Huifu and Di Zhiyuan were also stunned.
What a coincidence!
Zhou Mingsheng is one of the owners of Wanli Casino, and Zhao Chenzhao is Li Shou's reviewer!
"I have asked Miss Yao to check the background of Songhe Tower! If my guess is correct! The person behind it should be Zhou Mingsheng!..."
Yang Qingyuan explained his investigation results and speculations to Di Zhiyuan and Song Huifu in detail.
Di Zhiyuan and Song Huifu nodded frequently. Judging from Yang Qingyuan's description, the target of the attack was indeed directed at Zhou Mingsheng.
"Have you found anything in Wannian County?!"
"have!"
Di Zhiyuan will continue to speak as the representative!
"We investigated suspicious persons and found a veteran who has been gambling in Wanli Gambling House all year round. He provided a very valuable clue!"
"Oh?! Why?!"
This chapter is not over yet, please click on the next page to continue reading! "According to his account, Wanli Gambling House is deliberately losing money to Li Shou!" Di Zhiyuan said to himself, picked up the teapot, and poured it for all three people.
A cup of water.
"Losing money on purpose?!" Yang Qingyuan reacted instantly. This was to frame Li Shouzhi and make the case more reasonable.
Otherwise, how could Li Shou, a poor scholar, buy off the concierge?! How could he afford brocade clothes?!
The person behind the scenes needs to give a reasonable explanation for the source of Li Shou's money.
"Then has he seen Li Shou?!"
Yang Qingyuan asked, this point is very important!
Di Zhiyuan sighed, "Hey, it's a pity that he doesn't know what Li Shou looks like! In Wanli Gambling House, no one takes off their masks at will, so he only knows that there is a man named Li Shou from Wanli Gambling House.
I won three thousand taels of silver, but I don’t know what this Li Shou looks like!”
"Actually, there is no longer much value in Wannian County to continue investigating! The traces here have been almost destroyed by the people behind the scenes!"
Yang Qingyuan first made a pessimistic statement, and then changed his tone, "But now the suspect has been basically locked. As long as we can get Zhou Mingsheng's fingerprints, all the truth will be at our fingertips!"
Although Zhou Mingsheng's layout is strange, the details are not particularly amazing, but the person who helped him perfect the layout is very thoughtful!
It's a pity that although this person is thoughtful, his vision is limited by the times!
"But Zhou Mingsheng is the prince's brother-in-law after all, and his status is extraordinary..." Song Hui's father's tone sounded a little sad.
During his tenure as the magistrate of Changting County, he saw too many officials protecting each other!
Although Song Hui's father was an upright man, he was only a seventh-grade county magistrate after all. Even if he ignored him, what could he do?!
After joining Dali Temple, Yang Qingyuan has been dealing with political matters. He and Di Zhiyuan only need to concentrate on solving the case and investigating.
But this time the murderer once again made Song Hui's father pessimistic.
"Mr. Song, there is no need to be pessimistic! Although the identity of the prince is Zhou Mingsheng's protective umbrella, the reputation of the prince is also the knife that kills Zhou Mingsheng!"
"My lord, what you mean is..."
Di Zhiyuan's political sensitivity is better than that of Song Huifu, and he seems to understand what Yang Qingyuan means!
"The prince once fought against the law enforcement of Dali Temple for his brother-in-law! The prince cannot bear such public opinion! If the prince still wants to be famous, he will make a decision!"
Everyone discussed until midnight, and then the Dali Temple police officer responsible for assisting in putting out the fire came to report back!
"Sir, after Si Xuanwei and the city defense troops fought all night, the fire has been put out!"
"What are the casualties?!"
Zhao Cheng, who was assigned by Yang Qingyuan to take charge of this matter, replied, "Your Majesty, we cleaned up the fire scene and found six bones among them! Four of them held the standard swords of my Dali Temple! There are people around to prove their identity.
The token confirms that he is from Dali Temple!"
"What fell next to the other two people were ordinary knives. They should be the attackers who were killed!"
Yang Qingyuan nodded to indicate that he understood, and then waved Zhao Cheng to retreat and rest!
"I didn't expect that the person behind the scenes would be so heartless!"
This was the first time Di Zhiyuan encountered an attack of this scale.
During the three years in Dali Temple, including the previous time in Bingzhou, although there were people from all walks of life who jumped out to do chivalry, such a large-scale attack on the post of the highest political and legal institution of the Zhou Dynasty, killing people and setting fire to them!
Di Zhiyuan never expected it!
"You must first know that our opponent is different from the past! If it is really Zhou Mingsheng! Then he will be the future uncle of the state. The power he can mobilize may not be inferior to that of Dali Temple! If he can borrow the power of the prince
, even Dali Temple can’t compete!”
The prince of a dynasty is the crown prince of a country.
I don't know how many political forces, people in the martial arts world have bet their money on him! I'm afraid there are only a few warriors in the Dongxuan Realm!
Cao Zhengchun, Zhuge Zhengwo, Liu Dufeng, Yuhuatian and other Dongxuan realms all came to serve before Jin Shang ascended the throne!
Some of them were in the Dongxuan realm when they came to serve, and some were later promoted to the Dongxuan realm.
And there must be a lot of people who are betting on the current prince, and the dragon protects him, which is a great achievement!
"Is there any loss from this attack?!"
Yang Qingyuan asked.
"There were still some case files that we couldn't take away in time! Mr. Song and I put them into a whale skin bag and sank them into a water tank to avoid being burned by the fire!"
"Okay!" Di Zhiyuan's quick wit played a big role!
"We are going to retrieve the evidence now. Mr. Song, you can sort out the evidence in the case file here, and we will rush back to the capital overnight!"
Song Hui's father was stunned by Yang Qingyuan's words, and then asked.
"What if we leave! What should we do if Feng Captou dies?!"
"Feng Shi should have died at the hands of someone who trapped him. I will send a letter to the Six Gates Headquarters and ask them to send people to continue to investigate the matter. Our first priority at the moment is to crack the case!"
After explaining, Yang Qingyuan and Di Zhiyuan set off together and rushed to the post house ruins.
Magistrate Wannian had already arrived in front of the post before them, looking at the ruins of the post with tears in his eyes.
Wannian County was originally a county in the capital, and the magistrate of Wannian County was also of the sixth rank.
Today, Wannian County Magistrate has been working here for five years! He works hard every year! This is just to get good results during the year-end evaluation of the Ministry of Civil Affairs, so as to add weight to his promotion path.
Wannian County has passed the assessment for three consecutive years!
Such achievements are second to none among the county magistrates in Gyeonggi Province!
Wannian Ling originally thought that he could take another step forward in his official career by relying on the assessment!
But after the Li Shou case, everything came to nothing!
An old woman appeared in Wannian County who beat the news drum but found out that she had no wrongdoing. She is basically safe in prison!
After that, there was another mass poisoning incident in Wannian County School! The education plan was probably lowered. After all, Wannian County can’t even find anyone who will take the college entrance examination next year! How can we talk about education?!
In Nongsang, a wildfire in Wannian County caused heavy losses. Although it was not caused by anyone, the loss is a loss! No one else was struck by lightning, but you were struck by lightning?! Who do you blame?!
Public security?! There were two fires in a row, one burned an entire street, and the other burned down the post office, almost affecting everyone in Dali Temple?!
It’s good if the public security is up to the mark! I haven’t run away anymore!
Magistrate Wannian felt that all his hard work for five years was gone in less than a month!
It’s really time and destiny!
At this moment, Yang Qingyuan was unaware of Magistrate Wannian's sadness. He and Di Zhiyuan were fishing for bags from a water tank in Guanyi.
Although the fire was fierce, fortunately the water tank was big enough! The tank was full of water, and although it was half gone, the whale skin bag was still well hidden in the water.
"Sir! This whaleskin bag is of good quality! You can distribute a few more to your brothers!" Di Zhiyuan opened the whaleskin bag and sighed sincerely after checking that the files and documents inside were not soaked by water.
"You think this is Chinese cabbage!" Yang Qingyuan rolled his eyes angrily!
Whale skin is a strategic material in the Great Zhou Dynasty and has many uses! The output is not large! The key is that you can't buy it even if you have money!
Now the whale skins in Dali Temple are all specially approved by Yang Qingyuan from Changsun Fuji.
"How many more do you want to do?! Wait until when you become the chief assistant! You can do as many as you want! Now, there is none!"
Yang Qingyuan spread his hands, these people really don't know how expensive firewood, rice, oil and salt are if they don't live in the family!
Didn’t Yang Qingyuan shamelessly withhold the scarce equipment in Dali Temple from the cabinet little by little?!
