The data lines are parallel, and most of the results returned are bad news.
The imperial army searched the Ziwei Palace City and carefully searched every palace, but there was no trace of Shang Gong or his subordinates.
Portraits of human traffickers pretending to be Yang Youniang's parents have been released a long time ago, but their facial features are not obvious, making it difficult to identify them unless they are particularly familiar with them.
Although the population of Dongdu is not as large as Chang'an's one million, it still has hundreds of thousands of people. Finding people based on these vague portraits in a short period of time is tantamount to finding a needle in a haystack.
Only the Meihua inner guards were dispatched to encourage Jianghuzi to form associations, and there were other gains.
When Li Yan and Yang Zaiwei stood in front of the county government office, they saw groups of bad guys returning with human traffickers in tow.
Facts have proved that these beasts who kidnap and traffic people are just cruel to others. When they were caught and knew that they were about to be hanged, they all cried for their fathers and called their mothers, making all kinds of ugly appearances.
County Lieutenant Xu Lin hated Yaren so much that he gritted his teeth and said: "Don't let these thieves have an easy time before they are executed. Do you understand?"
Immediately, a jailer came forward to receive the order: "Please rest assured, young master, we will treat them well!"
The raid on human traffickers in Luoyang City naturally rescued many children. Xu Lin also ordered: "Let the grandparents of these children come to claim them. If they are not from Luoyang, arrange them as soon as possible. Everything should be done as soon as possible."
Not long after, the couple who had received the news in Luoyang City rushed over. There was another cry, but this time they were tears of joy.
At this time, Yang Zaiwei became increasingly uncomfortable with this scene. He clenched his fists and suddenly said: "Junior sister has a maid next to her. She is smart and capable. She may have contacts with Shang Gong."
Li Yan's brows twitched: "Is this the woman who escaped unharmed after pouring fire oil on Gong Siye and burning him to death?"
Yang Zaiwei gritted his teeth and said: "Yes, I have met this woman several times. She is very good at water. She often delivers messages by the Luo River. Go and catch her! We can't let go of a clue now..."
Li Yan immediately ordered the internal guards, and to be on the safe side, he also went to find the imperial army under Pei Judao to cooperate: "The thief has excellent water properties, so we also selected some rivers and lakes with good water properties and blocked them in the Luo River. Once traces are found, she must not be allowed to
Run away.”
"yes!"
With a specific scope of activities, and the internal guards cooperating with the imperial army, within two hours, the good news came and the thief was arrested.
With a broad face, small facial features, and a standard Silla look, this maid of Kim Ji-joo was obviously confused when she was captured, and was still wet when she was taken into the prison car.
When she saw Yang Zaiwei, he was stunned at first, then showed anger at being betrayed, and said in Tang Dynasty with a strong accent: "Why did you betray the princess? How could you betray the princess!!"
Yang Zaiwei's cheek muscles twitched, avoiding her questioning eyes, and then asked again: "Where is Shang Gong?"
The Silla maid became more and more excited and started yelling and scolding her in her native dialect.
Li Yan waved his hand: "Take him into the inner prison and hand him over to Qiu Wuwei for interrogation, focusing on asking about Shang Gong's information."
Prisoner 1
Yang Zaiwei was silent for a moment, and said simply: "Dr. Chen from Renxin Medical Center, when our junior sister was injured, we were originally going to go to him for treatment. It was you who gathered all the doctors in Luoyang City, so we had to go find those two
A Silla proton..."
The inner guard went to fetch someone excitedly.
Prisoner 2
Then 3, 4, 5…
Seeing the sun setting in the west, the inner prison became more and more lively, Yang Zaiwei's expression became more and more anxious, and he said bitterly: "No one knows where Shang Gong is?"
Li Yan looked at the well-filled inner prison and felt that it was not a loss. The people captured were all high-end spies with a certain social status. Once trouble occurred in Luoyang City, it would definitely cause a big disturbance, but there was one thing.
We must also be vigilant: "The better Shang Gong hides, the greater the old thief's conspiracy is, and he must be caught."
He recalled the details and suddenly said to his subordinates: "Go to the inner guard to get an evidence."
Soon a pack of medicinal powder was brought, and Li Yan showed it to Yang Zaiwei: "This is the poison that Gong Taoguang prepared to kill Zheng Wenming, the son of the governor of Luozhou, in the small courtyard of Duzhi. I was at the scene at the time and saved Zheng Wenming."
When I came back, I also found this bag of poisonous powder."
"But later Gong Taoguang was silenced by Gong Siye in advance, and the clues were cut off. I ordered the internal guards to search all the major drug stores in the city, but no similar poison was found. Take a look..."
Yang Zaiwei was proficient in poisons. He took it and after sniffing it, he said firmly: "This is Wu Jue Powder. As long as you take it, within half a moment, the poison will enter the internal organs. No method can drive away the poison. The poisoned person's internal organs will ulcerate and the body will be permanently destroyed."
There is no escape.”
Li Yan said coldly: "Do you have a lot of this poison in your hands?"
Yang Zaiwei shook his head: "Very few. In the past, the inner guards had two large workshops, one to design mechanical gadgets and the other to configure highly toxic pharmaceuticals. Later, when the inner guards were to be abolished, these two workshops were destroyed in advance, leaving only
A small amount of finished product was placed.”
Li Yan nodded slightly: "The Shence crossbow among the hundreds of riders in Beiya was produced by this kind of workshop? I remember that you used an exquisite crossbow in Tubo, and it also came from here?"
Yang Zaiwei said: "Yes, that is the Shenwei crossbow. Compared with the mass-produced Shence crossbow, its structure is more ingenious and more powerful. There are not many pairs left..."
Li Yan's eyes flashed, and the topic turned back to poison: "Did your junior sister provide this Wujue Powder to Gong Siye?"
Yang Zaiwei said: "It should be, Gong Siye definitely doesn't have it."
Li Yan thought for a moment: "Your junior sister provided the poison, so she also secretly changed the medicine?"
Yang Zaiwei was puzzled: "Why secretly change the dressing?"
Li Yan gave an overview of the case: "The key to the whole case was not to poison Zheng Wenming, but to create the tragedy of sister killing brother and completely defeating Governor Zheng. According to Mrs. Zheng's original purpose, she was to kill a packet of
Her brother was given laxatives, but later he was replaced with this highly toxic Wujue Powder. Wasn't it your junior sister who did this?"
Yang Zaiwei said flatly: "Of course not. She provided the poison and had to go and change it herself. Doesn't it mean that she is on his orders? The Gong family is taking orders from my junior sister, and it is not my junior sister who is taking orders from the wealthy family in this place!"
This chapter is not over yet, please click on the next page to continue reading! "The only thing my junior sister did for him was to silence Gong Taoguang, and she was forced to do so."
"That Gong Siye is very ridiculous. Knowing that my junior sister is the princess of Silla, he actually wrote a letter as a threat. My junior sister first stabilized him, and then found out his confidants who he thought were well hidden and eliminated them all.
, and then burn the letter!”
Li Yan didn't know that there were still these conflicts between Jin Zhizhao and Gong Siye. After completing this link, he began to pace and entered the analysis state: "If it's not your junior sister who changed the dressing, it must be the person next to the Zheng brothers and sisters.
Those close to me, have the Gong family been prepared in advance to actually allow a servant of the Governor's Mansion to risk doing such a thing?"
"No, it's not surprising that Gong Siming has this ability, but this person is mature and prudent and won't do that kind of thing. Gong Siye is not a person who makes decisions before taking action. Everything this person does has a bit of a desperate impulse...
…”
"Based on Gong's business in Luoyang, if you want to restrict the power of Governor Zheng, there is no need to use a ruthless strategy of killing brother and sister. Once the incident fails, the two families will definitely fight to the death, but Gong Siye never considers the consequences of failure.
, high vision but low hand, great ambition but little talent.”
"But the murder case in the courtyard was planned too cleverly, step by step, and linked together. If Gong Siye really had this scheming and ability, he would not have been easily eliminated by Jin Zhizhao and even threatened him.
not good."
"This person's behavior is very contradictory!"
Yang Zaiwei followed behind. After hearing this, he already understood the doubts, but was not too interested: "Gong Siye has been burned to death. Regardless of whether he had an idea or not, he just happened to have an ingenious design. What we are mainly investigating now
It’s Shang Gong!”
Li Yan shook his head: "Only by looking for clues from every doubtful point can we get closer to the truth. Sometimes trivial things are also a crucial part..."
Yang Zaiwei was speechless when he thought that when he first exposed his identity in Tubo, he failed to pass the test on small details.
And Li Yan's next words made him even more moved: "If Shang Palace is in Luoyang City, but not in Ziwei Palace City, which place do you think is both good at collecting intelligence and least likely to be searched?"
Yang Zaiwei's expression changed: "The governor's office?"
Li Yandao: "I didn't know enough about Gong Siye at first, so I didn't think about it that way. But in the case of the poisoning and murder of the governor's son, if Shang Gong deliberately released the news to seduce Gong Siye, this person's contradictions can be explained."
"Once this case happens, the Gong family will become pawns of Shang Gong and be manipulated by him."
"This is also the reason why Shang Gong is willing to come to Luoyang. After all, when the poisoning case occurred, His Royal Highness and the convoy of officials had not yet entered Luoyang. Her original plan was to have the support of this family that has great influence on Luoyang.
There is also a home field advantage here.”
"Plan before taking action. This is not Gong Siye's plan, but Shang Gong's influence behind it. Killing two birds with one stone kills two birds with one stone."
Yang Zaiwei's expression changed greatly: "Let's go quickly and search the governor's mansion!"
Li Yan shook his head: "No, there is no evidence. It's all based on speculation. We can't search the governor's mansion."
"What's more, there's a big war going on in the city right now. Although it's ostensibly to capture Yaren, Shang Gong is extremely vigilant. He may have noticed something is wrong and will go out to avoid the limelight."
"In case there are only her subordinates in the governor's mansion, we can completely alert the snake. She will just hide in a city and never come out again. With so many people in Luoyang, there is really no way to trace her."
Yang Zaiwei gritted his teeth and said, "What should we do?"
Li Yan pondered for a moment: "It's hard to change a person's habits. Shang Gong is good at training female spies, but in the past, the ones he came into contact with were those well-educated women from official families in Yeting. If they are ordinary women in the market,
, I don’t know how to write well, if I ask her to teach it from scratch, I’m afraid she won’t have the patience.”
"There is a woman in the governor's office who has a strong personality. She was known as someone who was not easy to deal with because she canceled the marriage contract. If this woman is really convicted of poisoning her brother, she is the most suitable candidate for training."
"Although we are not in a desperate situation now, we have still been hit. Shang Gong may come forward to seduce this woman..."
Yang Zaiwei raised his eyebrows: "You mean that Miss Zheng?"
Li Yan nodded: "Yes, the person in the Governor's Mansion who is most likely to have had contact with Shang Gong is Miss Zheng! Start with her, verify the guess, plow the court and sweep the acupuncture points, and hit it with one hit!!"
