It's not yet the middle of the day, and Yi Zhonglun is wearing court attire, looking as if he has rushed in as soon as he comes to court.
Thinking of Shangguan Yuan and Yi Zhonglun's conspiracy to scheme against Gui Wang Changsunji, Qianru guessed that the two people might have some unknown "personal relationship".
However, the reality was completely different from what she thought.
As soon as Yi Zhonglun got off his horse, he handed Shangguan Yuan a dagger.
That dagger was a dagger with the character "Liu" that he asked someone to secretly recreate based on the evidence in Dali Temple.
"I heard that Lu Fang was hunted down because he brought it back to Beijing. Therefore, if you take this thing with you, the bad guys will definitely come to you. By then, the case will be revealed soon."
Isn't it pushing people towards death by setting themselves on fire?
With a body like Shangguan Yuan's, he could not defeat even a weak scholar like Yi Zhonglun. How could he have the ability to fight against gangsters?
Yi Zhonglun's intentions are too sinister.
However, Shangguan Yuan accepted it without saying a word.
Yi Zhonglun was delighted and praised Shangguan Yuan's bravery.
Shangguan Yuan didn't respond at all, and walked towards the carriage with a gloomy face.
"Don't leave in a hurry," Yi Zhonglun stopped him with a smile and held his shoulder like a sworn friend, "Brother, I found some clues, maybe you will be interested."
"You tell Dali Temple directly, I'm too lazy to listen."
Yi Zhonglun looked around and whispered: "These clues are not good for your Shangguan family. How can I tell Dali Temple so easily?"
"In that case, there is no need for you to tell me that I will never board your pirate ship again."
Shangguan Yuan wanted to push Yi Zhonglun away, but he was unable to do so and failed.
"Because you are the most powerful general in Daxuan, I will make this special trip. If you really want to seek death, I will tell the emperor right away. By then, even if you have the ability to sweep thousands of armies, you will not
It will be useful again."
Yi Zhonglun said it as if he was holding the lifeblood of the Shangguan family. Qianru thought Shangguan Yuan would compromise, but she didn't expect that Shangguan Yuan would turn his back and find another way to avoid Yi Zhonglun.
"Alas! What a stubborn donkey." Yi Zhonglun looked around vigilantly and anxiously blocked Shangguan Yuan, "I checked An Tai's resume. Do you know where he was twenty years ago?"
"Where?" Qianru asked anxiously when Shangguan Yuan ignored her.
Yi Zhonglun drew three circles on the ground with his feet, representing Gucheng, Feng County and Dao County respectively.
"You said in your confession that the dagger was accidentally picked up by An Tai twenty years ago and was evidence of a murder case. But is that true?"
"What I said is true."
"Twenty years ago, An Tai worked as a minor official in Gongjiang Mansion. There were no difficult murders there. I guess you told the wrong time when you were repeating An Tai's words. It should be twenty-one years ago.
At that time, An Tai was the county magistrate in Daoxian County, which was not part of Daxuan County at that time."
Qianru interrupted: "How long did it take for Dali Temple to ask us for questioning? I don't believe you could find out so much in such a short period of time."
"Daoxian County is in the south of the Yangtze River. It takes several months just to get there. The truth about this case has been investigated privately for more than a year. Mainly because"
Seeing Yi Zhonglun staring straight at her, Qianru quickly stepped aside to avoid him.
"Alas! What is love in this world? Since you all don't appreciate it, I don't want to talk anymore and say goodbye!"
Someone finally found a new clue, how could Qianru be willing to let it go? But Yi Zhonglun mentioned the word "love", and she was now a married woman, so she really couldn't talk about it.
Fortunately, Shangguan Yuan grabbed Yi Zhonglun at this time.
Yi Zhonglun was mentally satisfied, sighed helplessly, and returned to the topic.
"Daoxian County is about eighty miles north of Gucheng. According to local county government records, just when your father was trapped in Gucheng, a tragic murder occurred in Daoxian County. A family of more than seventy people, all
Being killed.
At that time, An Tai led the county's officials to pursue him at night. He was about to catch one of the gangsters, but was stabbed by a dagger flying from his accomplice. The dagger also had the character 'Liu' engraved on it."
"What does this have to do with my Shangguan family?"
"Although there is no obvious relationship, if someone wants to make a fuss out of this, your Shangguan family will be in disaster!"
Yi Zhonglun pointed to the circle on the ground representing Feng County and said: "Your Majesty was stationed here back then. It is only eighty miles away from Dao County. If we go quickly, we can go back and forth in a day and night if everything goes well."
"Nonsense!"
"You think it's nonsense, but others may not think so. Although most of the loyal generals who followed your grandson were killed in the battle of Gucheng, some things that happened that year may not be known to anyone."
"What's up?"
"Have you forgotten that your father has a foreign wife?"
"That woman died before the battle of Gucheng."
"What if she is not dead and has hid in Daoxian County? What if your mother happened to know about it at that time, became furious, and led her cronies to silence her, so she did not receive a letter from Changsun Ji and missed the military order?"
"What nonsense!"
"Don't forget, the word 'Liu' is engraved on the dagger, which is your surname. When the time is right, show the dagger I gave you and see how the person ambushing in the dark reacts.
I can get some clues."
After finishing speaking, Yi Zhonglun straightened his sleeves and emphasized solemnly: "Because you are the most powerful general in the Daxuan Dynasty, the Prime Minister made this trip specially."
Everyone in the court admired Yi Zhonglun's resourcefulness, which was also the fundamental reason why he became more and more stable on the throne of prime minister.
His long speech, clear and logical, made Shangguan Yuan feel more anxious than ever before.
While on the road, he couldn't help but grab the dagger in his sleeve.
As a result, when the wheel got stuck in the mud, it accidentally fell out.
The sheath slid open, revealing the character "Liu" on the dagger.
In addition to Qianru, those in the car were also Lu Fang, the director of Dali Temple, and Feng Cai, the widower who had just done the autopsy.
At this time, Lu Fang was surprised and snatched the dagger away.
Then, he jumped out of the car in a hurry.
As if there was a misunderstanding, Shangguan Yuan and Qianru also hurriedly followed.
"Master Lu, this is a replica based on evidence." Qianru explained.
Lu Fang took a closer look, and then ordered someone to bring the replica evidence for comparison. For a moment, he looked helpless and said, "Is this the thing that Prime Minister Yi just gave to you?"
"how do you know?"
Lu Fang put the two daggers together and showed them to them. It turned out that the two daggers were replicas.
"Someone must have used their connections to get a colleague who copied the evidence to make an extra copy. If it wasn't the same mold and the same craftsman, how could it be so identical?"
"You also want to use this evidence to lure out the criminals behind the scenes?"
"Which murderer will come out to kill someone for a replica of the evidence that has been registered in Dali Temple? You two can rest assured that our trip will be very safe."
Is it really so safe?
Qianru clearly noticed that Lu Fang avoided them and quietly hid on the other side of the carriage to wipe his sweat.
