This is the legitimate son of the Wuwei An family and the favorite son of General An Yuanshou, the gatekeeper of the left prison.
This son of an aristocratic family is bold, informal, tolerant, and sincere to his friends.
It doesn't make sense...
An Zhongjing looked at Xiao Hei, who was grinning at him, with a strange expression on his face that was full of alcohol: "Hey, this little beast still dares to yell at his master, I raised you until you were half a year old, and then gave it to Yuan Fang.
Are you ungrateful now?"
Li Yan frowned.
Yes, Xiao Hei's reaction doesn't mean anything.
Animals cannot speak, and no matter how spiritual they are, they cannot communicate directly with humans and cannot be used as evidence.
What's more, Xiao Hei was originally given to him by An Zhongjing, so he could just explain it away with a strange reaction when he saw his old owner.
But doubt is like a seed. Once planted, many things will turn into fertilizer, quickly catalyze, and blossom and bear fruit.
First is the first case.
"Brother Fu and Liniang's household registration was originally handled by An Zhongjing. Due to their crimes, they were taken into the Yamen and imprisoned for a symbolic night. However, as soon as they came out the next day, he asked about Liniang's situation. After knowing that Li Niang was
When my mother is a secret spy of Tubo."
"Is this a subconscious guilty conscience?"
"I'm afraid that the person Liniang told me is the one on the line!"
"If we push forward further, Liniang's first appearance was in Zuixiang Tower to clear Brother Fu of committing suicide..."
"My reasoning at the time was that the evidence in Liniang's hands was not enough to convict Shi Ming, so I needed to use the influence of the family members to quickly settle the case."
"But now that I think about it, why does Liniang ask the family to listen carefully to her evidence?"
"It's An Zhongjing. He showed sympathy for Liniang from the beginning. For his sake, others will naturally not speak out against him, and he will be criticized for having a cold temperament..."
"So that scene was actually a double act?"
Li Yan took a deep breath.
Based on this assumption, continue reasoning.
"After Liniang was exposed, Jia Sibo immediately distanced himself from me. After all, Liniang deceived them all, but I saw through it. Invisibly, it made these aristocratic family members look very stupid, and they felt conflicted with me. It is human nature."
"But An Zhongjing is still as enthusiastic about me as before. Perhaps this is to maintain our friendship and collect first-hand information."
"This is also true. When Kang Meng's detective team analyzed the murder tools in the case of the Tibetan ambassador, An Zhongjing was beside him."
"He listened to Kang Meng's analysis throughout. If he was the mastermind of the murder of the Tibetan ambassador, he would naturally pay attention to the next actions of Kang Meng and his party."
"So, the fact that Zhang Huanhe confiscated the account books was reported immediately."
"He was shocked to find out that the other party was deliberately trying to find clues from the materials, and County Magistrate Cui might really be exposed."
The logic is straightened out.
Li Yan's heart became colder and colder:
"That night, An Zhongjing took me to a banquet at An's house. Not only did he get drunk, but he also gave me a lion and a fighting cock worth a hundred gold."
"He was very drunk at the time, but if he really had ulterior motives, he could immediately change his appearance and lead his dead men to surround and kill me halfway!"
"I just didn't expect that my martial arts skills were even more powerful than expected. In turn, I killed the group of dead soldiers to a rout. The murderer disguised as the leader in black didn't dare to use a suitable weapon, and he was almost killed by me.
…”
Li Yan thought of this and said to An Zhongjing who was playing with the cat: "Zhongjing, I remember that when bad guys surrounded you that night, you used a short stick?"
An Zhongjing turned around: "Why did Yuan Fang suddenly think of this? I practice Shaolin Damo Jin, and the master who taught me the skill is one of the thirteen stick monks in the Shaolin Temple. He even captured Wang Renze in the past!"
Li Yan nodded slightly: "I see, famous teachers give birth to brilliant disciples!"
This is about the thirteen stick monks in Shaolin Temple helping the King of Qin.
During the war between Li Shimin and Wang Shichong at the end of the Sui Dynasty, Wang Shichong's nephew Wang Renze wanted to confiscate the land of the Shaolin Temple. The Shaolin Temple immediately rebelled against Zheng and overthrew the Tang Dynasty. During the war between the two countries, they sent 13 warrior monks to cooperate with some officials who were also preparing to rebel.
, captured Wang Renze alive by surprise, captured the city, and dedicated it to Li Shimin.
There is nothing wrong with this kind of siding, but in later generations, the story was changed to Thirteen Stick Monks saving the King of Tang. The plot was very exaggerated. Li Shimin's life was protected by the Shaolin Temple, and the nature completely changed.
But no matter what, the fighting power of these thirteen monks in history is quite powerful. The combination of Damo Jin and Shaolin stick technique is very powerful. It is actually this one that An Zhongjing practiced.
The last move of the black leader that night was the stick technique.
If he finds an opportunity to compete with An Zhongjing, he will be able to judge whether the other person is that person!
Li Yan thought of it and said: "Zhongjing, we are about to part ways, how about we have a competition?"
An Zhongjing waved his hands repeatedly: "Yuanfang is joking. Since I returned to Liangzhou, I have neglected my martial arts practice. I have been fighting with you all day long. Isn't that asking for trouble?"
Li Yan narrowed his eyes.
Jia Sibo saw that he looked wrong and immediately calmed down the atmosphere: "Yuanfang, if you go to Chang'an, you won't be worried about your skills. There will be no rivals!"
An Zhongjing snorted coldly: "There are indeed many strong people in Chang'an, but they also have their eyes set above their heads, especially in the Second Hall and Sixth School, there are many arrogant people!"
Jia Sibo laughed: "Zhongjing is still worried about that matter!"
Li Yan pretended to be curious: "What's the matter?"
Jia Sibo remained silent, while An Zhong got drunk and waved his hand: "They called me a Hunu!!"
Li Yan raised his brows, thinking that during the polo match, An Zhongjing also started to scold the Tibetan Hunu. He didn't expect that his legitimate son, who was born in the An family of martial arts, was also studying at Chang'an No. 2 Hall No. 6, and was belittled like this.
The attitude of the Tang Dynasty towards foreign races was actually quite tolerant. During the Zhenguan period, 50% of the military officers in the court were from Hu origins. Li Shimin was deeply loved by all ethnic groups, and Tian Khan was not a high-ranking official, but a real person.
When Li Shimin died, the Hu people were extremely sad. Many high-ranking Hu officials mutilated themselves, blinded their eyes, cut off their ears, and disfigured their faces. They wanted to be buried actively, but Li Zhi tried his best to stop him.
This chapter is not over yet, please click on the next page to continue reading! This is because the various policies of the Tang Dynasty really did not discriminate against foreigners. The subsequent Anshi Rebellion had nothing to do with ethnic conflicts. It was purely a civil strife for power and gain.
Of course, if the policy does not discriminate, it is inevitable in getting along with each other. There is still serious regional origin discrimination among the Han people, let alone against foreigners.
It is inherently impossible for humans to completely abandon discrimination.
"An Zhongjing was well-dressed and pampered since he was a child, but he was insulted at Chang'an Academy. He ran back to Liangzhou in anger, was seduced by Tubo, and went astray?"
"This motive is too far-fetched. During this period of time together, he is not a chicken-hearted person. He is all just pretending?"
Li Yan thought for a while and asked, "Xiao Ling was the guard of the left prison gate in Chang'an. Did he know Zhongjing?"
"Xiao Ling works for me, Aye, and we must have met several times. He even visited me after coming to Liangzhou..."
An Zhongjing's face was full of disdain: "I didn't expect this traitor to actually defect to Tibet. He is really a beast worse than a pig or a dog, bah!"
"If he wants to instigate Xiao Ling, An Zhongjing only needs to reveal his identity. All the sons of his former boss have defected to the enemy. Xiao Ling naturally has no psychological barriers in order to make meritorious service!"
“This is consistent again!”
"Is it really him..."
Li Yan closed his eyes.
Since traveling back to ancient times, my best friend has been Kunda.
But Kangda has been preparing for the tribute examination during this period and has not seen him very often.
The one who is closest to me at the moment is An Zhongjing, who treats others warmly.
result……
Does treachery seem like loyalty?
He always felt that something was wrong, but now, An Zhongjing has become the first suspect.
The key is that the identity of this family member is too sensitive.
In the past, An Zhongjing's grandfather, An Xinggui, allowed the Tang Dynasty to acquire the land of Hexi without spending a single soldier. Li Yuan immediately named An Xinggui as the General Youwuhou, Shangzhu Kingdom, Liang Guogong, and later An
Xinggui also defeated the Turkic army and was listed as one of the Sixteen Heroes of Wude.
At the same time, An Xinggui's younger brother An Xiuren cooperated with his elder brother in raising troops to capture Li Gui, pacify Xiliang, and later fought against the Turks. He was named General Zuo Wuhou and Shen Guogong. He was also one of the Sixteen Heroes of Wude.
One sect and two kingdoms, that was fifty years ago. The An family was already well-established and had great prestige among the Hu people.
Today, the An family has a huge influence in Liangzhou and even the entire Longyou, and it is even more deeply rooted.
Without evidence, even a third-grade official like Pei Sijian would not dare to touch An Zhongjing, let alone Li Yuanfang, a mere military guard.
Don’t forget, his father An Yuanshou is now a general guarding the palace!
At least An Yuanshou must be controlled first before An Zhongjing can be convicted. If the whole body is affected, it will be another huge officialdom earthquake.
Obviously, if An Zhongjing, who has such a background, is really the real culprit behind the scenes, the harm he will cause next will be unparalleled.
"I don't believe that the real murderer is An Zhongjing, but he is indeed suspected."
"All we can do is submit our analysis through internal security channels?"
Li Yan sighed and called: "Xiao Hei, come back!"
The little black cat took advantage of its strength and saw that its new master seemed to be unable to offend its old master, so it hurriedly ran back, slithered onto the lion's back, squatted down, and licked its paws.
Seeing Li Yan wave his hand and disappear into the darkness, An Zhongjing stood there for a while and blew out the breath of alcohol: "Yuanfang was acting weird just now, his tone sounded like he was interrogating a prisoner!"
Jia Sibo said: "The separation is imminent. Maybe he can't let go of things here. Unfortunately, as friends, we can't help..."
"No, you guys have been a big help!"
As soon as he finished speaking, a tall and tall figure walked out of the darkness again.
An Zhongjing and Jia Sibo were stunned.
The person who came was none other than Li Yan, who had gone and returned.
But those shining eyes, calm and composed face, and confident temperament make people breathless, and they can't help but think of the night when Liniang was arrested.
Li Yan looked at the two people and smiled slightly:
"The puzzle has been solved!"
