Chapter 129 "The Unsolved Case of Jiangnan Road"
inside the warehouse.
Everyone's heart was chilled.
More than [-] people died, and thousands of people were poisoned!
Although in ancient times, the number of deaths in a war far exceeded this number, and sometimes local bandits caused chaos and killed thousands of people.
Once there is a natural disaster, there will be countless casualties. Behind the "human cannibalism" that often appears in history books, just three words represent countless cruel and numb scenes in order to survive.
In comparison, hundreds of thousands seem nothing.
But in Jiangnan where there has been no war and few disasters in recent years, it is really rare for so many people to die in one case!
Li Yan was shocked, and also noticed Ming Chongyan's pale face, and asked in a concentrated voice, "Master Ming?"
Ming Chongyan said: "The poor Taoist teacher was implicated in the Yundan case and dismissed from office."
Dou Decheng looked at him: "I didn't expect the Taoist priest to have a connection with this case..."
Li Qianru was still surprised: "The unsolved case where the murderer has not been found, Dali Temple will also look at it. Why do I have no impression?"
Dou Decheng said: "This case was handled by the Ministry of Criminal Affairs at the time, and it was not included in the case file. Except for those involved, few people know about it."
Li Yandao: "Since it's not known to the public, but Director Dou is so clear about it, it seems that you are also the one who witnessed it?"
Dou Decheng lowered his head: "That's right, I happened to be doing business in the south of the Yangtze River that year, and I saw with my own eyes the wailing horrors of poisoning everywhere..."
Li Yan was puzzled: "The elixir is a precious thing. If thousands of people are poisoned, how much elixir will it cost? What's going on?"
Dou Decheng said: "At that time, there was a strange disease in a village in Runzhou. The Taoist priest of Chongyun temple in Runzhou came forward and first used talisman water to treat it, but it didn't work. Later, the temple master took out this cloud pill and gave it to the sick. All right."
His voice trembled: "But there are too few pills, and there are too many people seeking treatment. The Lord Chongyun melted it with talisman water and gave it to people. As a result, I don't know who was mad and poisoned the water... Miserable, too tragic ... in all directions, inside and outside the house, death is everywhere..."
Everyone turned pale when they heard this, and Li Qiao asked, "What happened afterwards? Where is the temple master?"
Dou Decheng said bitterly: "In one night, less than half of the people in the village died. Although the rest of them recovered their lives, they were also useless... The master of Chongyun temple committed suicide, and Chongyun temple disappeared later..."
Ming Chongyan saluted with one hand, meditating on the Supreme Heavenly Lord, Li Yan's eyes were sharp: "Since you have learned from the past, why do you still secretly sell Yundan?"
Dou Decheng raised his voice: "That's the fault of the poisoner, what has it to do with Yun Dan? Taking this pill can boost the spirit, and its effect is incomparable, but because of an evil incident, he was forced to hide in the snow. This is because he choked and gave up eating, I can't bear it! "
Li Yan scolded angrily: "put away your hypocrisy, you are just making huge profits, and you also changed the name of this elixir to Shaoyang elixir? Such a bottomless behavior, to speak so confidently, Simply disgusting!"
Dou Decheng didn't dare to speak anymore.
However, from the expressions of other people, Li Yan could see that they agreed with Dou Decheng's words.
This is the common cognition of the times, even if a person is killed by eating the pill, there is no problem with the pill, the problem is the individual pill or the way of taking it.
That's why all sorts of weird things happen.
Han Yu's epitaph denounced the pill for harming people, and then he fed the chicken to eat the pill, and then ate the chicken to death, which is quite black humorous.
Also in the late Tang Dynasty, Tang Xuanzong, known as the Little Taizong, immediately killed and exiled the Taoist priest who poisoned Wuzong with golden pills after he came to the throne. As a result, he himself took drugs later. die.
Those like Bai Juyi who were obsessed with elixir in their early years and kept a respectful distance from elixirs in their later years knew the truth, but they were a minority.
Li Yan regained his composure, and asked again: "Even if the murderer has not been caught, why is this case rarely known, and Dali Temple doesn't even have a case file?"
Dou Decheng shook his head: "I don't know about that either. I guess that the prisoner was not identified. The officials of the Ministry of Punishment felt ashamed and deliberately concealed it, but it was also quite weird. Anyway, when I came back later, I found that this matter had not been reported to Chang'an at all... ..."
After a pause, he said sadly: "It is also because no one knows about it, and I have seen the miraculous effects of Yundan with my own eyes, that I continue to sell it. Who would have thought that there was another poisoning case of a scholar this time. When I heard it this morning, I thought of the Jiangnan murder case, and I was afraid of being slandered by others, so I wanted to dispose of this batch of pills as soon as possible, but I didn't expect it to be a step too late..."
Li Yan snorted coldly, and Dou Decheng's rhetoric made him clean.
He didn't talk nonsense with the other party, and asked directly: "Who made these cloud pills? Who did you sell them to? Where are the account books?"
Dou Decheng put away the miserable expression on his face, and immediately closed his mouth.
Li Yan waved his hand: "Don't say it, right? Take these Yundan as evidence, and together with Dou Decheng, the director of the Dou Chamber of Commerce, bring them back to the inner guard for strict interrogation!"
Dou Decheng was taken down dejectedly.
Seeing that Qiu Shenji and Wang Xiaojie were escorting the prisoner while the other was collecting evidence, Yuanwai Song's eyes were full of jealousy, but he couldn't claim credit, so he rolled his eyes, turned and left.
Li Qiao hurried forward a few steps, bowed his hands in salute, and drew closer: "Congratulations to Li Jiyi, the case has been solved within half a day!"
Li Yan returned the courtesy: "Li Shaofu is being polite, Dou Decheng has concealed a lot, and the doubts have not diminished but increased. I am afraid it is still too early to solve the case."
Li Qiao said: "After all, we have a certain direction, Li Jiyi is a great talent, will he enter the palace and report to the saint?"
Li Yan's eyes moved slightly, he looked at Li Qiao, then at Li Qianru: "Li Shaofu and Li Sicheng also want to enter the palace to face the saint?"
Li Qiao saluted again: "If Li Jiyi can be fulfilled, today's help will definitely be rewarded!"
There are still many examples of sharing credit among the high-ranking gentry, and people carry people in flowery sedan chairs.
Since Li Qiao was present, he hoped to get a share of the action.
Although he is not a Fa Cao, if this matter is done well, it will definitely be a resume, which will be very helpful for the next promotion.
What's more, you can show your face in front of the saint and get an impression!
Li Yan's eyes flickered, his thoughts changed sharply, and he said, "The two of you will also contribute this time, so it's all right to meet the Holy Spirit together, but there is one thing I want to ask!"
Li Qiao was overjoyed: "Let's just say it, Li Jiyi!"
Li Yandao: "I want to re-investigate the Jiangnan murder case. I need the case file that may be kept in the Ministry of Criminal Justice. I hope Li Sicheng will bring it up."
Li Qiao's expression changed, and Li Qianru asked in surprise, "Why me?"
Li Yandao: "I have no position on this case, but Dali Temple is responsible for reviewing all the cases in the world, and if Li Sicheng proposes it, there is a chance for a re-examination."
Li Qianru rolled his eyes, Li Qiao said in a low voice: "Li Jiyi, why offend Cui Shilang because of this?"
Six years ago, Cui Shouye was the minister of the Ministry of Criminal Justice. Since Dali Temple did not accept the case, it was obviously led by the Ministry of Criminal Justice. It was also the Ministry of Criminal Justice who concealed the incident.
When this kind of unsolved case is found out, the Ministry of Criminal Justice will be very embarrassed. With Cui Shouye's temper, he is severely offended.
Li Yan thought that the old man was holding on to Liangzhou because he wanted to make things difficult for me. Of course, he is the servant of the criminal department who is one step away from the prime minister, so he should be more polite: "Cui Shilang is generous, he won't mind such things. If I can get away with solving the case , he will definitely be very happy!"
Li Qiao thought that your mouth was too bad, but he couldn't bear to take credit for it, so he murmured: "Let me think about it... think about it..."
Li Qianru's eyes flashed with anger.
Shouldn't he be the real master of this matter? Li Qiao really regarded him as a puppet in the family, and didn't even ask for his opinion?
He has decided that no matter what happens to Li Qiao, his nomination certificate is a given.
Today, no one can stop me from offending the minister of punishment. I, Li Qianru, said that even a saint is not allowed! !
Since Li Qiao wanted to think about it, Li Yan happened to come to Ming Chongyan's side.
The Taoist looked at the boxes of cloud pills, which were put away by the inner guard, with a dazed expression, full of memories.
Until Li Yan's voice sounded from behind: "I no longer doubt the identity of the Taoist priest, but I have something to ask."
Ming Chongyan sighed: "The Jiangnan case?"
Li Yan said: "Not bad."
The muscles on Ming Chongyan's cheeks twitched slightly, and he turned around: "Pindao doesn't know the specifics of that case, but after Master came back from Jiangnan, when he was sleeping soundly at night, he would sometimes wake up suddenly and exhale wildly. Sound, blood, a lot of blood... I still shudder when I recall that sound..."
He heaved a long sigh: "Later, within three months, Master vomited blood and died... Poor Dao buried Master, thinking that this matter was over, but unexpectedly, a similar tragedy happened again in Chang'an!"
Li Yan asked, "What was your position in Runzhou?"
Ming Chongyan said: "Runzhou, the Dantu county lieutenant, was assigned to Facao, and because he was also affected, he was dismissed from office."
Runzhou corresponds to later generations, which is Zhenjiang City, Jiangsu Province, but there is something strange about Li Yan: "Then the secret biography of Dan Yuanjin, the master of the Ming Dynasty, was passed down by the master? In just six years?"
Ming Chongyan smiled wryly and said: "Li Jiyi misunderstood. The poor Taoist practiced martial arts with his master when he was young. Later, he became successful in his studies. The poor Taoist asked his father to find an official position for him. He came back from Jiangnan six years ago, didn't he? That's when I started teaching."
Li Yan suddenly said: "So that's the case."
Ming Chongyan sighed: "Being able to practice the secret of Dan Yuan Jin before thirty, the master said that I am extremely talented, heh, just comparing with Li Jiyi, it becomes a joke..."
"Why do you compare me to me, I'm the hardworking type~"
Li Yan saw that he was quite lost, but he sincerely comforted him: "Master Ming is extremely talented, the future is promising, and there will be opportunities to learn from each other in the future."
Ming Chongyan smiled in relief, a lot of jealousy went away, and a bit of unattainable helplessness increased, Jishou saluted: "Li Jiyi, I'm sorry to say goodbye!"
The Taoist left in a hurry, and Li Qiao stepped forward with firmness on his brows: "I am willing to help Li Jiyi to seek justice for the innocent who died tragically six years ago!"
Regardless of whether it is a beautiful word or not, Li Yan nodded in affirmation: "If you can catch evil and eradicate evil, it's good to be worthy of your heart! Let's go, let's enter the palace to face the saint!"
