Seeing Li Liang walking further and further away, Li Chengzhi sighed secretly: I hope it's not like Yuan Yuan suspected. Liu Teng noticed something and didn't dare to investigate further.
It's best because the old eunuch is not good enough and is afraid of screwing up, and is even more afraid of taking the blame, so he deliberately shirks the blame.
But no matter what, even if the front is really a mountain of swords and a sea of fire, Li Chengzhi still has to get to the bottom of it: If this assassination was not an accident, let alone Yu Lin's negligence, but a combination of inside and outside, it would be a real shock.
There are only a few people who dare to do it, and there are only a few people who can do it. No matter which one of them, once he jumps over the wall, there will be chaos in the capital, and then the world will be in chaos.
Let alone a year, it would be good to give Li Chengzhi one month. Whether he can escape to Hexi is still a question.
That’s why Li Chengzhi is so anxious...
He thought about it and couldn't think of who it was.
Of course, if it were so easy to investigate, Liu Teng would have found out long ago: Do you really think the emperor put the secret guards on the table to scare the ministers?
Li Chengzhi had a sudden idea and guessed something from the emperor's arrangements these days: the emperor was mainly wary of Yu Zhong, Gao Zhao, Yuan Yong, Yuan Yi, and Yuan Jia.
It may be because these five are the most trusted by the emperor and are most likely to cooperate inside and outside. Moreover, each has soldiers in their hands, so the rebellion is most likely to succeed.
Yu Zhong, the most suspected person, has been imprisoned, and Jin ordered 20,000 Yulin not to leave the camp. However, the emperor did not take back the tiger talisman, but delegated it to Yu Yuanyi.
The emperor's move was to guard against Gao Zhao. Moreover, without the emperor's imperial edict, and Taiwei Yuanjia's tiger talisman, Gao Zhao could not mobilize half of his army.
Fearing that Yuan Yi was behind the scenes, the emperor appointed Gao Zhao as his deputy to balance and supervise each other.
Don’t think that because Yuan Yuan was promoted to General Zuowei and ordered to serve him day and night, the emperor had great respect for Yuan Jiaxin.
Anyone with a bright mind and a clear mind can guess that the emperor did not dare to fully trust Yuan Jia, so he took Yuan Yuan as a pledge.
Otherwise, why did you never mention that Yuan Yuan was ordered to take up the post of Weiwei?
Although he was ordered to be a fierce warrior, as soon as Li Chengzhi woke up, he was temporarily banned from the palace and given a command. This means that although Li Chengzhi is from the fifth rank, he is Yuan Yuan's immediate superior for the time being.
As for how the emperor guarded against Yuan Yong and his Sizhou Guards who were in charge of the periphery of the capital, Li Chengzhi could not think of it for the time being.
If you only look at the appearance, the military power is still divided into five parts. They support each other and can check and balance each other. Therefore, no matter which one has problems, it can only be chaotic for a while.
Moreover, Li Chengzhi firmly believed that the emperor should have made deeper arrangements...
Suspicious in his heart, he raised his hand slightly, Yuan Jian understood, and ordered the rider in front to clear the way.
Five hundred tiger warriors surrounded the emperor's order and drove to the east of the city in a mighty manner.
The Heavenly Prison is located in the east corner of the inner city. Anyone who is not a member of the clan, a powerful person, or has committed a serious crime such as rebellion is not qualified to be detained here. Now, it is full of monks?
The more than 1,800 suspects Liu Teng mentioned are all here. Eighty percent of them are from White Horse Temple.
To put it bluntly, Liu Teng brought the White Horse Temple to a boil.
White Horse Temple was built to enshrine China's first Buddhist scripture (the Sutra of Forty-Two Chapters) taken from Tianzhu (ancient India), which means "the white horse carries the scripture from the west". It is the veritable ancestor of Chinese Buddhism
Court.
During the Three Kingdoms and Sixteen Kingdoms periods, Luoyang changed hands several times. Even the Imperial Palace of the Eastern Han Dynasty and the Imperial Palace of Cao Wei were burned several times. At most, the monks of the White Horse Temple fled, but the Buddhist statues and even the buildings were not affected much, which shows its influence.
After Emperor Taiwu, the White Horse Temple was once extremely prosperous. No matter whether it was from the Southern Dynasty or the Northern Wei Dynasty, there were countless people who came to worship it. At that time, Luoyang was still the border between the Northern Wei Dynasty and the Southern Dynasty. Although it belonged to the Northern Wei Dynasty, there were island bandits and spies running around from time to time.
Among them, Baima Temple has the most hidden treasures, so it was extremely unpopular with the emperors of Yuan and Wei.
After Emperor Xiaowen moved the capital, he preferred to build Baode Temple instead of establishing Baima Temple as a royal temple. This is why.
After Yuan Ke succeeded to the throne, he only liked Jingle Temple, and later built the Yongming Temple. There were already three royal temples, so the influence of the White Horse Temple was even less than before. There are quite a lot of grandmothers who don't love it, and uncles don't love it.
After all, the ancestral court is the ancestral court, and ancestral scriptures are enshrined there. An emaciated camel is bigger than a horse, but there are many folk believers and the incense is very prosperous.
Whenever monks who come from Tianzhu and the Western Regions to spread the Dharma travel to Luoyang, they will definitely stop at Baima Temple. Therefore, there are many eminent monks and famous teachers.
Not only did Hu Chonghua invite eminent monks from White Horse Temple to give lectures, but even the emperor who got tired of listening to the scriptures from Jingle Temple would occasionally invite monks from White Horse Temple into the palace.
But something happened just this time?
Li Chengzhi would not believe it even to death...
Because Tianlao is adjacent to Yin, Henan, it has always been under the jurisdiction of the Yin Mansion. Li Chengzhi would pass here when he left the house for duty and returned home after duty.
Two months ago, Li Rui was sentenced to be shackled outside the Yin Mansion for crippling a monk who was pretending to be a ghost in Yinxuan Temple.
At that time, the chief judge was Li Xian, who was transferred to the envoy Chijie last month, and was in charge of the military affairs of Yanzhou, general of the left, and governor of Yanzhou. Today's Henan Yin is Yang Jun.
It can be regarded as a daughter-in-law who has become a mother-in-law after many years. In the past few years, Yang Jun not only had a close relationship with Gao Zhao, but also with Li Xian, his immediate boss, who always said that the nose is not the nose and the eyes are not the eyes. But even so, he was promoted in the end.
Being an official is not easy.
Yang Jun is Yang Shu's younger brother. Six months ago, Li Chengzhi came to Beijing and knocked out Yuan Yue's teeth, so he accepted his rescue. Li Chengzhi deeply missed his kindness and had frequent contacts with him. Yang Jun did not care about Li Chengzhi because of Li Chengzhi.
Chengzhi was about to get married to Gao Zhao and was estranged from him. On the contrary, he was very close. The two were more than ten years apart, but they had always been friends as equals...
As soon as he left the palace, Li Chengzhi sent someone to summon him. Yang Jun had already led his assistant officers and subordinates to wait outside the gate of Yin Mansion. When he saw the tiger warriors pushing towards him like an iron wall, he heard the sound of "Shuo Shuo" on the roof of the carriage in the wind.
On the Emperor's Jing Festival, Yang Jun was thoughtful.
The three princes and the three servants all said on the day when King Cheng Cheng was regent: Your Majesty just had a minor illness and needed to rest for a few days. However, those with a little more refined thoughts regarded this as fart.
In addition, a strange thing happened in Beijing: The huge White Horse Temple turned into an empty temple overnight?
This chapter is not over yet, please click on the next page to continue reading!
There are rumors and rumors about miracles, but Yang Jun is a Yin of Henan Province and also supervises the Tianlao. How come he doesn’t know where these monks have gone?
The prisons behind the Yin Mansion can hardly be closed anymore...
Liu Teng has been conducting secret arrests and undercover investigations in the past few days. The monks who died of torture every day are being pulled out by the truckload... How big is the movement?
Although they are all handled by secret guards, Yang Jun is detained here. If you pay a little attention, you can know what Liu Teng is tossing: The emperor has been assassinated?
After being horrified, when he saw Li Chengzhi again, Yang Jun only thought that Liu Teng was dragging his feet. After a long search, no results were found. The emperor was furious and replaced someone else to take over...
After walking about ten feet, the tigers and benzi separated to the left and right, and showed Li Chengzhi's official carriage. Yang Jun led all the officials to salute the Jingjie and praise the emperor's peace.
The strange thing is that after bowing, Li Chengzhi didn’t get out of the car?
When the car reached the front steps, Li Chengzhi raised his hand to him: "I hope Brother Ji Sun won't blame Li Yi for being rude..."
Yes, how rude? Li Chengzhi should get out of the car to reminisce about old times and say a few words to him...
Li Chengzhi's eyes were swollen, his face was sallow, and he seemed to have had his bones taken away. He was leaning against the arms of the car. Although he was bowing, his arms seemed to weigh a thousand pounds, and his hands were only raised halfway.
When he saw that there was another person waiting in the carriage, who was not Li Chengzhi's subordinate, but seemed to be a palace medical officer, Yang Jun's pupils shrank suddenly: "You...were seriously injured?"
More than serious injuries?
I almost met the King of Hell.
Li Chengzhi laughed softly and said: "Brother Ji Sun, don't worry, he won't die just yet..."
With just this sentence, Yang Jun understood everything: the assassin had not succeeded, and the emperor was fine for the time being. And in all likelihood, it was Li Chengzhi who risked his life to save him...
The credit for rescuing the driver?
Feeling surprised and happy, Yang Jun said with a pun: "Don't talk too much, official business is important..."
While the two were talking, several soldiers lifted Li Chengzhi out of the carriage and helped him into a wheelchair.
Yang Jun added: "Half an hour ago, the temple officials sent Tingping and Tingzheng (all officials of Tingwei, in charge of prison affairs and official discipline), there are ten people, all of them are good people..." Li Chengzhi nodded slightly.
There are specialties in the art industry, and professional matters should still be left to professionals.
The investigation was not like Liu Teng's. Only relying on torture to extract confessions would not only create an unjust case, cause more casualties, but also make the case more complicated. Therefore, as soon as he left the palace, he ordered Yuan Chen to go to Tingwei and invite You Zhao.
Send some experienced officials over.
You Zhaoben was one of the servants who assisted the government, and knew everything he needed to know. Furthermore, he admired Li Chengzhi very much, so when he saw Li Chengzhi's handwriting, he knew what Li Chengzhi wanted to do, so he agreed very readily... p>
With these ten experts, plus Yang Jun, a former court lieutenant with no criminal record, Li Chengzhi firmly believed that even if the real murderer could not be found, he would be able to figure out some clues within three days.
Yang Jun who should know already knew, and those who didn't know could guess it, so Li Chengzhi didn't hold anything back and handed all the files and documents to Yang Jun.
Only the ten Wei Tingzheng and Ting Weiping were restricted and a silence order was issued: these ten were not allowed to leave the Yin Mansion until the truth of the case was revealed...
After just driving for several miles, Li Chengzhi felt more tired than when he fought in Jingzhou. He only had some lunch at the Yin Mansion and asked the accompanying medical officer to change his medicine. p>
With allicin prepared in alcohol and a reduced version of Baiyao, Li Chengzhi's wounds healed quickly and scabs had already formed.
As for the unknown ingredients of the mold made from moldy cowhide, Li Chengzhi decided not to use it anymore after waking up.
There must be some penicillin, but who knows, what other poisonous bacteria are there?
For example, aflatoxin and the like...
It’s worthless to use it for first aid. Just like the emperor, rather than letting him get infected and not survive even a month or two, it’s better to use it first. Even if it causes cancer, he can live for at least another year and a half.<
/p>
Furthermore, the emperor is almost out of fuel and has run out of money, so he doesn’t have to worry about having too many debts...
After changing the medicine and drinking two jars of the soothing decoction prepared by Xu Jian and Wang Xian, Li Chengzhi fell asleep without knowing it.
He slept for half a day, and it was almost westward before he woke up slowly.
Neither the medical officer nor Yuan Jian were there, and Yang Jun was the only one in the room. He was sitting next to his couch, staring at the papers at hand, his expression flickering.
Li Chengzhi suddenly became energetic: "But what did Brother Ji Sun find out?"
Yang Jun nodded, handed over the pieces of paper, and sneered: "No wonder Liu Tengtu has stopped arresting people since the day before yesterday? Even the secret guards used for torture in the prison have withdrawn a lot. I thought he had a sudden conscience and feared that an unjust death would damage his morality too much, but it turned out that he had bitten a hard nut?"
Li Chengzhi's eyelids jumped when he heard the word "hard bones": Is this what he is afraid of?
But after reading the contents on the paper, he was full of doubts.
The monk he stabbed in the neck was a shameless monk (referring to an ordinary monk) at Baode Temple three years ago, and was one of the disciples who presided over Zongde.
I traveled around the capital three years ago and returned to the capital last month. However, I did not report back to De Si when I returned to the capital. Instead, I pretended to be from the Western Regions, went through a different route, and paid my respects to Luo Chie.
For a month, this monk had been living in seclusion, and no one in the capital knew his original background... But as soon as he showed up, he followed Luo Jie into the palace?
After asking Luo Jie, he said that the monk gave him twenty real gold, so he accepted him as his disciple and brought him into the palace. But at a glance, it was clear that this monk was here for the emperor.
What Li Chengzhi is suspicious of is, what kind of strong backbone is this?
The White Horse Temple has been ruined, and Luo Jie has been tortured by Liu Teng until he is breathless. Therefore, the old eunuch must not be taboo about this, so it can only be Baode Temple.
Baode Temple was built by Emperor Xiaowen specifically to enshrine the tombs of Yuan Hong's biological mother and Yuan Ke's grandmother. It has the highest status among the three royal temples. But no matter how revered it is, it is just a temple. How can it be more noble than the emperor's life? Suspicious in his heart, Li Chengzhi asked in a low voice: "I dare to ask Brother Jisun, but what's the problem?"
Yang Jun frowned and pointed to the word "Zong De" written on the paper: "Are you really ignorant or are you pretending not to know?"
Simply baffling?
"Brother Ji Sun, please make it clear!"
"This is your uncle!"
Li Chengzhi was so shocked that he almost stood up.
Bullshit?
Zhang Jingmo's brothers and sisters are all in Jingzhou and Guanzhong. There are only five direct descendants of the Gao family. Gao Meng and Gao Zhi are all serving as governors in the north. Gao Zhan is not mentioned. The queen's biological brothers Gao Zhen and Gao Zhao
He has seen Gao Hu, the son of his younger brother Gao Xian, who has not yet become an official.
And Wei Yu’s younger brother Wei Zijian is still wearing diapers?
Where else could a brother-in-law appear from?
"Haha?"
Yang Jun squinted his eyes and said sarcastically, "Where did you get your uncle named Gao? His surname was changed to Yuan long ago?"
Yuan?
The emperor gave an edict to Yuan Jia to accept Gao Wenjun as his adopted daughter. Wouldn’t the uncle of this line have the surname Yuan?
Li Chengzhi's thoughts turned quickly and he asked suspiciously: "Yuanjia has only two sons, where did a monk appear from?"
It seems like you really don’t know?
Yang Jun sighed secretly and explained in a low voice: "Yuan Yuan also had an eldest brother, whose original name was Yuan Yuan. He left home at 16:00, and it was this Zong De... Because it involves privacy, he only said he died suddenly to the outside world?
”
Privacy, sudden death?
Did he steal his wife, or did he do something outrageous and damaging to the clan’s face?
How can you manage so much?
Yuan Jia, isn't he one of the five people the emperor is guarding against?
Li Chengzhi breathed out a heavy breath: "I am not familiar with the documents, so I ask Ji Sun for advice!"
Yang Jun pointed at the paper: "There is more than one Yuanjia, look again..."
Looking further down, Li Chengzhi's eyes almost dropped to the ground: Is that female Taoist priest Yuan Yue's disciple?
Good guy...
I held my breath in my throat, trying not to choke Li Chengzhi...
