After listening to Li Zhiyun's words, Zhao Changlin pondered for a moment and said: "This case is complicated and confusing, and the subordinate officials are stupid. How dare you make rash guesses?" After listening, Li Zhiyun nodded, stood up and said: "Well, I'll bother Governor Zhao.

, I bid farewell."

The next day, Li Zhiyun was bored at the King Chu Inn, so he asked Liu Yinglian to take her out for a walk. They left the inn with a few guards and headed straight to the south of the city. Li Zhiyun heard from Magistrate Wang that there was a building in the south of the city.

Taiyi Palace was built in the Han Dynasty and has a history of hundreds of years. It is worth a visit.

After some inquiries, several people found the Taiyi Palace. The Taiyi Palace was actually a temple dedicated to the Eastern Emperor Taiyi. Taiyi was also known as Taiyi and Taiyi, which were aliases for the Emperor of Heaven. "Historical Records" said: "The most noble of gods is Taiyi."

.There is also "Donghuang" in "Nine Songs" of Chu Ci written by Qu Yuan.

"Tai Yi" article, ranks very high in the genealogy of Chinese gods, but the incense is not very strong. It is not as good as the ordinary Kitchen God, City God, let alone the Erlang God, Zigu God and other gods that appear out of nowhere. The so-called

The county magistrate is not as good as the current one, and that's roughly the case.

Everyone walked into the gate, and it seemed deserted inside. There was only one Taoist priest cleaning the courtyard. This Taoist temple is really not small in size. There are many temples, and there are as many as a dozen large and small. The main hall is four to five feet high, and it is exposed alone.

The few pillars outside are thicker than two people hugging each other, but the temple is in disrepair and shows signs of dilapidation everywhere.

Several people walked into the main hall. The statue of Donghuang Taiyi was high in the hall. Although it was a little broken, it was generally still complete. It was just that there were three strands of beard under a rich round face. This appearance was different from other statues that Li Zhiyun had seen.

It's like being reflected in a mold.

Li Zhiyun and Liu Yinglian stood in front of the incense table. They each stepped forward to offer a stick of incense, and then knelt on the futon to salute. After worshiping the gods, Li Zhiyun pulled Liu Yinglian back. They left the main hall and turned around the corridor.

, came to the side courtyard. Although this Taoist temple is hundreds of years old, it has no antiques, but the Han Dynasty stone paintings on the walls are worth seeing.

Han stone portraits began in the late Western Han Dynasty and flourished in the late Eastern Han Dynasty. They are stone decorative paintings carved on tombs, ancestral halls, Taoist temples, tombs and other buildings in the Han Dynasty. They are also a special type of stone carving decorative murals with distinctive themes.

There are several stone paintings on the walls of the side courtyard. Li Zhiyun took a look and found a picture of "Making Cars and Brewing Wine", which shows the two labors of making wheels and brewing wine. The wheel maker is repairing the wheel teeth, and a woman is carrying a wheel behind him.

Baby, hand him the parts, indicating that this is a family workshop. In the same picture, another winemaker spreads his legs and stands in front of the vat, as if tasting the taste of new wine. This is a necessary workshop in the market.

There is also a picture of "Betting on Cockfighting", which is two feet high and four feet long. Cockfighting has been popular as early as the Spring and Autumn Period and the Warring States Period. It is both a kind of entertainment and gambling. In the Han Dynasty, cockfighting was also popular, and the style of running dogs was also popular. "Book of Han":

"Shi Huo Zhi" says: "The rich children of aristocratic families, or fighting cocks and lackeys, hunt and gamble, and bring chaos to the people." In the picture, two gamblers fight cocks, each armed with weapons and attendants, betting with gold.

After Li Zhiyun took Liu Yinglian to visit all the side halls, he left Taiyi Palace and returned to the inn.

In the evening, Li Zhiyun was practicing calligraphy in the guest room. Zhang Zheng burst in like a gust of wind and reported: "Your Majesty, the other party has crashed into the net." Upon hearing this, Li Zhiyun put the rabbit brush on the pen holder, stood up and said: "

Okay, let's set off right away!" He walked to the clothes rack, took off the sword and put it on, and then came out of the guest room with Zhang Zheng.

As soon as the two of them walked into the foyer, they happened to meet Liu Hong and his daughter who were returning from a walk outside. Seeing him walking in a hurry, Liu Hong asked, "It's so late, where are you going?" Li Zhiyun stopped and said, "Mr. Liu,

Lou's murder tonight

The truth is about to be revealed. Are you interested in going to see it?" When Liu Hong heard this, he said: "Okay, I would like to see who did it." Liu Yinglian on the side said hurriedly: "I want to go too." Li Zhiyun

He nodded and said: "Okay."

Several people came to the yard. Zhang Zheng had summoned more than a dozen guards, some of whom were holding torches. Li Zhiyun rode on the horse, Liu Hong and his daughter rode in the carriage, and the group left the Chu King Inn and came to the north gate.

Zhang Zheng took out the Chu Palace token and ordered the soldiers on duty to open the city gate. After everyone left the city, they went straight to Qiuhong Villa.

When he arrived at the gate of the courtyard, Li Zhiyun got off his horse. Magistrate Wang came up to meet him and said with cupped hands: "Your Majesty, we have blocked that person inside." Li Zhiyun nodded and glanced around, looking around Qiuhong Villa.

There were people and torches everywhere, and the government officials and guards had surrounded the whole house.

Liu Hong got off the carriage and walked over. He looked at the house in front of him and asked, "Where is this place?" Li Zhiyun did not answer directly, but said, "The mastermind behind the massacre of the Lou family and the gold and silver he stole

The treasures are all hidden inside."

"Then, why don't we go in?"

"Wait a minute, someone else hasn't arrived yet."

Just as he was talking, Cai Hu next to him pointed with his hand and said: "They are coming." Everyone turned around and saw a group of people coming on the road. When the people and horses came to the front, Sang Xianhe, who was riding a horse, turned over and dismounted, and Du Song also

Got off the carriage. Two

A man walked up to Li Zhiyun and saluted him. Sang Xianhe said: "Your Majesty, it's so late. What's the important thing for you to call us out to this wilderness?" Li Zhiyun smiled and said: "Please come over and take a look.

A good show."

"What's the show?"

"You will find out later." After Li Zhiyun said this, he turned to Wang Guang and said, "County Magistrate Wang, let's get started."

Wang Pang nodded and waved to the government officials surrounding him: "Quickly, open the gate!" All the government officials immediately stepped forward, opened the gate with force, and then swarmed in. In the yard, there were people blocked behind the gate.

The guards were either knocked to the ground or fled in all directions. Li Zhiyun made a gesture and said: "Master Liu, General Sang, Du Biejia, please."

Everyone followed Li Zhiyun into the gate, crossed the courtyard, and came to the hall. The hall was very spacious, with many government servants and guards standing at attention. The lanterns and torches in their hands illuminated the room like daylight. A short and fat man wearing silk

T-shirt, more than 30 years old

The man came up to meet him. Although he looked nervous, he pretended to be calm and said with cupped hands: "My lords, you are holding fire and breaking into private houses. I don't know what you want?" Li Zhiyun smiled and said: "You are the housekeeper, right?"

Your master, please come out!"

"Sir, I don't understand what you mean."

"Why, do you still need me to send someone to invite you?"

"No need." Following a familiar voice, a figure walked over from the darkness. When the man came into the light, Sang Xianhe took a closer look and couldn't help being surprised, and shouted: "Prince Zhao,

Why is it you?"

Li Zhiyun smiled and said: "General Sang, let me tell you that he is the owner of this Qiuhong Villa." Sang Xianhe was surprised: "Your Majesty, when did Governor Zhao own this courtyard? What happened to the general?

have no idea?"

"That's because this courtyard was originally the private property of the former governor of the Sui Dynasty." Li Zhiyun said, "Our Lord Zhao pocketed it."

"No," Zhao Changlin retorted, "It is true that this courtyard is the private property of the former county governor, but I did not take it as my own. It is still under the name of the state government. I only come here occasionally.

Just staying for a few days."

Li Zhiyun waved his hand and said: "Let's not talk about this for now, let's talk about the murder case of the Lou family first." Upon hearing this, Zhao Changlin stopped him in panic: "What murder case of the Lou family? How does this have anything to do with what happened tonight?

"Don't go too far." At this moment, Zhang Zheng came over, cupped his fists and said, "Your Majesty, the stolen goods have been found."

"Move here."

"yes."

Zhang Zheng waved his hand, and dozens of guards carried ten large boxes from the back hall and placed them neatly in the middle of the room. Zhang Zheng opened the lids of the boxes one by one, and saw that the boxes were filled with gold, silver and jewelry, shining brightly under the firelight.

, it was dazzling. Everyone gathered around the box, marveling at it, and kept exclaiming. Sang Xianhe yelled loudly: "Your Majesty, where did you get so many gold and silver treasures?"

Li Zhiyun smiled and said: "This is the property that was robbed by the Lou family, and our governor Zhao is the mastermind behind the murder of the Lou family. He instructed three regiment soldiers, including Lu Sifang, Sun Fen and Diao Dagui, to sneak in late at night

The Lou family, together with Liu Gu, the maid of the Lou family, worked together to steal the Lou family's treasures, but unexpectedly alarmed the master of the Lou family. In order to silence them, they brutally murdered nine members of the Lou family."

When everyone heard this, their eyes fell on Governor Zhao's face. A layer of cold sweat broke out on Zhao Changlin's back, and he quickly denied it: "King Chu, you are talking nonsense! You said that I was behind the murder of the Lou family.

Chief, what are your credentials?

?I think you are making things up out of nothing and talking nonsense. I would like to ask, what are you doing in Pizhou this time? You said it is a private matter, what kind of private matter is it? I'm afraid it's not that simple, right? I'm afraid you have already set your sights on Wang Guan of the Lou family.

Family wealth, right?"

Seeing that his crime was exposed, Zhao Changlin was naturally unwilling to surrender and began to turn his defense into an offense. He involved Li Zhiyun in an attempt to muddy the waters. As expected, his words confused Sang Xianhe and Du Song, and both of them looked down.

On Li Zhiyun's face.

Li Zhiyun had long expected that Zhao Changlin would not plead guilty easily, but would definitely deny and make excuses in every possible way. He confidently said: "You are right, I came to Pizhou this time to find the building staff, but I came to see you.

He talks about business. However, in this case

Two days before Wang arrived in Pizhou, the whole family outside the building had been killed. Everyone knows this." Zhao Changlin sneered and said: "You are the prince and your power is boundless. How could I know that you didn't send people to sneak into Pizhou first to kill people?

Steal wealth and then blame others?"

Zhang Zheng saw Zhao Changlin making such strong words and talking nonsense, he couldn't help but get angry and glared: "Bold bastard, you committed such a big crime, and everyone got the stolen goods. Instead of confessing honestly, you are just biting and biting like a mad dog."
