People in Datang have been expelled from school

Chapter 526 Dai Zhou's Suspicion

Xu Jingzong was still a little worried, "I think I still have to guard against it. If something happens, I'm afraid it will affect the Chang'an Order."

Seeing that Li Zheng was still looking at the book, it seemed that he really didn't care so much.

Maybe Li Zheng never regarded his eldest sun Chong as an opponent, and he didn't take the eldest sun's family seriously.

That's what I thought.

Xu Jingzong added: "We have a letter from Xinxin saying that the recent Persia is not peaceful, and Dashi and Persia are fighting."

"Dashi and Persia?"

"Yes, it is said that the prince of Persia has asked Tubo and Western Turks for help."

"Songtsan Gampo should really want to win over Persia as an ally."

Xu Jingzong nodded, "It is true in the letter that the Prince of Persia and Songtsan Gampo are getting very close these days."

Persia was indeed very strong in the Northern Wei Dynasty, but it began to weaken from the former Sui Dynasty.

During the Zhenguan period, Dashi had already begun to have the idea of ​​going east.

In less than 30 years, the Dashi leveled Persia.

Many Persian nobles fled to Tocharian.

The next 20 years will be a very chaotic era in the West.

Persia, Tianzhu, West Turks, Tocharian and Tianzhu will all enter into a melee.

Maybe this is another huge business opportunity.

Xu Jingzong looked at Li Zheng's expression suspiciously, "Why did Chang'an Ling laugh?"

Li Zheng came back to his senses and said, "Hey, did I just laugh?"

Xu Jingzong said in a low voice: "Chang'an Ling laughs like this every time he sees the silver cake."

Li Zhengchang sighed, "Actually, I'm not a money-loving person, you all misunderstood me."

Xu Jingzong said suspiciously: "Really?"

Dali Temple Minister Dai Zhou came to the village of Jingyang and saw His Royal Highness King Jin and a group of children planting trees.

The wasteland that could not grow food in the past is now green at a glance.

I thought in my heart that there are several unsolved cases left now, such as the weapon case, the will-o'-the-wisp burning Chang'an, the collapse of the temple, and the vision of the night sky not long ago.

I'm a lot older, and I originally thought about getting old.

But now there are so many unsolved cases.

I don't know what's wrong with this world.

I always feel like I just can't get along with myself.

The most suspicious person is Li Zheng.

But there is no evidence.

Seeing that King Jin Li Zhi had also rested, Dai Zhou stepped forward and said, "His Royal Highness, are you planting trees?"

Li Zhi looked at the old man in front of him, "You are Dali Siqing, I have met you before."

Dai Zhou caressed his beard and said, "I wonder if His Royal Highness King Jin can take a step to speak?"

Li Zhi greeted Daniel and the others and followed Dai Zhou to the distance.

Li Zhi looked at Dai Zhou and said, "I don't know what orders Dali Siqing has."

Dai Zhou said with a smile: "I haven't seen you for many years, His Royal Highness Jin Wang has grown so tall."

Li Zhi grinned and said, "I've been eating a lot lately, the teacher's cooking skills are very good."

"His Highness Prince Jin's teacher? Li Zheng."

"Yes."

Li Zhi nodded and said.

Dai Zhou nodded slightly, "Since His Royal Highness King Jin is Li Zheng's disciple, he must be very close to Li Zheng."

Li Zhi looked at Dai Zhou suspiciously, but still said, "I'm staying at the teacher's house now."

Dai Zhou said in a low voice, "Has Li Zheng been acting strange recently?"

"Odd behavior, what odd behavior?"

Dai Zhou sighed and said, "Recently there have been several unsolved cases in Chang'an, and the old man has found some clues after investigation."

Li Zhi said: "Dali Siqing doubts the teacher?"

Dai Zhou said in a low voice: "It's just a suspicion. Of course, the old man will definitely judge the case impartially."

Li Zhi thought about it and said: "If the teacher behaves strangely, it really does happen."

Dai Zhou nodded and said, "What move?"

Li Zhi said in a low voice: "Recently, the teacher reads with a book in his hand every day, and he doesn't go fishing or take a nap. He said that he needs to learn more knowledge to increase the output of Jingyang Book Printing Workshop."

"Knowledge? Yield?"

"Correct."

Dai Zhou fell into deep thought again, does this matter have anything to do with weapons?
It seems that there is no connection at all.

When Li Zhi realized that he was about to go to class, he heard the call of a big cow in the distance, and said quickly: "That's all I know. When the time comes, I'm going to go to class too."

Dai Zhou came back to his senses and said with a smile, "I'm bothering His Highness King Jin."

Li Zhi cupped his hands and said, "Farewell."

After Li Zhi left, the smile on Dai Zhou's face froze.

Going to the village of Jingyang, there is a group of spies from Dali Temple looking for clues.

Saltpeter, charcoal, sulfur, these three things are in the collapsed temple, as well as the vision of the night sky not long ago.

These fragments were found around the temple, as well as on the bamboo tubes on the ground after the vision.

Dai Zhou couldn't figure out how these three things were related, but it was certain that it was man-made.

Otherwise, it would be impossible for such a coincidence to appear in this kind of thing.

"Report!"

The spies from Dali Temple came to report and said: "Report! Dali Temple Sir, we found someone transporting saltpeter on Jingyang New Road."

Hearing this, Dai Zhou hurriedly said: "Keep the man, the old man will go and have a look."

Li Zheng also named this newly built pipeline, Jingyang New Road.

It's really strange that people still give names to roads.

When I came to the new road in Jingyang, looking at the lively scene here, a group of officers and soldiers from Dali Temple stopped a group of people who were transporting saltpeter at the intersection.

"No one is allowed to leave the Dali Temple to investigate the case!" An officer and soldier from the Dali Temple shouted.

Dai Zhou came to the scene with a cart full of saltpeter.

"I'm Dali Temple Minister, what do you need all these saltpeter for?" Dai Zhou asked.

"So it's Dali Temple Minister, I'm rude and rude." A group of gangsters immediately changed their previous rebellious expressions, but they only softened a little.

Dai Zhou sized them up and said, "The old man asks you, what do you want these saltpeter for?"

"We are part of General Cheng Yaojin's family. The saltpeter was transported to Chang'an to make ice. I don't know how this matter has disturbed Dali Temple."

Looking at the expressions of several people, Dai Zhou appointed two officials from Dali Temple and said: "You go to Chang'an with them to see if this is the case. The Cheng family's saltpeter will pass through the Dali Temple when it is used in the future. Reply."

"Here!" Several officers and soldiers of Dali Temple bowed and agreed.

Dai Zhou thought that there were actually a lot of saltpeter in Chang'an, and it would take a huge amount of manpower to guard all of them.

And maybe the other party will continue to use these saltpeter to commit crimes.

I have no idea at all, saltpeter can make ice, since Li Zheng's use of saltpeter to make ice came out.

More and more people use saltpeter to make ice in summer.

The weather in May in Chang'an is a bit hot and dry.

Summer will be here in two months.

At that time, more people will dig saltpeter.

How to investigate this case.

Dai Zhou now wants to sue his old age and return to his hometown to quit. This Dali Temple minister is very tired.
