The First Young Master of the Tang Dynasty

Chapter 1660 Meeting at Xuanwu Building
As for today, Xuan Shijing plans to marry a trip to Dali Temple to meet Di Renjie, but this trip needs to be low-key, and don't let the Dou family know that Xuan Shijing is involved in this matter. Know more about Dou Shanglie, the attitude of the Dou family on this matter, or the clues in this case.

As for my wife and daughter, I can only hope they understand, but anyway, I am in Chang'an City, so I can always see them when I come back at night.

After seeing off Li Chengqian's people, Xuan Shijing changed into an unremarkable casual attire, greeted Qin Bingyue, left the house in Daozhengfang, and headed for Xuanwu Tower.

He wants to see Di Renjie, but he won't meet him in Dali Temple, but in Xuanwu Tower. After all, Xuanwu Tower is his own site, so Xuan Shijing can rest assured.

After falling down the Xuanwu Tower, Xuan Shijing went directly to the fifth floor, and then sent a servant to Dali Temple to deliver a message, saying that an old friend who had just met in the Xuanwu Tower wanted to see him.

As long as you bring this sentence to Di Renjie, Di Renjie is so smart, he must know who is waiting for him in Xuanwu Tower.

Di Renjie never thought that he would be able to investigate a case with Xuan Shijing. Di Renjie knew Xuan Shijing's glorious deeds in Dali Temple a long time ago. Cleared up many cases, but the relationship between Shenhou Mansion and Dali Temple is just a cooperative relationship, because the two have overlapping functions, so Shenhou Mansion helped Dali Temple at that time, but although there were many cases handled, But it didn't clear up all the old cases in Dali Temple. Most of the cases that Shenhou Mansion took over at the beginning were new cases, and they were quickly solved.

Di Renjie always yearned for the Shenhou Mansion created by Xuan Shijing and the Jinyiwei under his command, but it was a bit untimely. Before he became an official, the Shenhou Mansion existed in name only, and Jinyiwei also disbanded and returned to Dongshan On the county Zhuangzi, he became the guard of the academy.

Xuan Shijing asked someone to go to Dali Temple to deliver a message to Di Renjie. When Di Renjie heard this, he thought of Xuan Shijing, so without any delay, he changed his official uniform and put on unremarkable casual clothes.

Since Xuan Shijing made an appointment to meet him at the Xuanwu Building, he probably wanted to keep a low profile.

When they arrived at the Xuanwu Tower, the servants of the Xuanwu Tower were at the door. After seeing Di Renjie arrive, he took the initiative to greet him.

"Master Di is here to see the master's house, right? Please come with me." The servant said.

It is no secret in Chang'an City that Xuanwu Tower is the property of the Xuan family. Moreover, Di Renjie is also from Dali Temple. He must know about various places in Chang'an City when he usually investigates cases. , I know that this master is Xuan Shijing.

The shopkeeper of Xuanwu Building is a woman, I heard that she was a maid of the Xuan family in the past, and also Xuan Shijing's personal maid. Di Renjie has never met this shopkeeper, let alone someone who just met. Xuan Shijing was the only old friend I met just now, because he went to the scene after the case happened on Xuanwu Lake last night, and the painting boat where Xuan Shijing was located was next to the painting boat where the case happened.

The boy took Di Renjie upstairs, walked through the second floor, the third floor, the fourth floor, and went up to the fifth floor. The more Di Renjie went up, the more certain that the person waiting here is Jinyang County Gong Xuan Shijing.

The fifth floor of the Xuanwu Building in Chang'an City has never been open to the public, but this is also after the Xuanwu Building became the property of the Xuan family. In the previous Xuanwu Building, as long as you have money, you can go to the fourth floor. If you have money and power, Just turn around on the fifth floor.

After going up to the fifth floor, at the foot of the stairs, the servant stopped and signaled to Di Renjie that he could go in, and he wanted to stay here in case Xuan Shijing had any orders to call for someone.

Di Renjie walked into the fifth floor. There was only one room on the fifth floor, which was very spacious. The room was surrounded on three sides by huge bookshelves filled with books.

"The student has met Xuan Gong." Di Renjie walked to the middle, bowed his hands and saluted, Xuan Shijing, who was standing by the window, turned around when he heard Di Renjie's voice.

"Come here and sit down. I'm taking a picture of you today. I have something to talk to you about. It's about the case that happened at Xuanwu Lake last night." Xuan Shijing said straight to the point.

"Yes." Di Renjie replied, and then sat on the chair opposite Xuan Shijing.

Xuan Shijing also sat down, there was prepared tea on the table, Xuan Shijing pushed a cup to Di Renjie who was sitting opposite.

"You also know the identity of the person who died last night?" Xuan Shijing asked.

Di Renjie nodded: "The deceased, Dou Shanglie, was the second son of Dou Shilun, the young minister of the Taifu."

Xuan Shijing nodded: "This case involves the Dou family, so at the court today, Mr. Dai sent a memorial to His Royal Highness, explaining the case. Later, this memorial was sent to me."

"What does His Highness mean?" Di Renjie looked at Xuan Shijing seriously.

"The matter involves the Dou family. You are investigating the case. The Dou family will not make things difficult for you. At most, they will put pressure on you to solve the case as soon as possible. In order to vent his anger, he attacked innocent people, Dou Shanglie died on that boat, besides the murderer, there were also innocent people on the boat, right?" Xuan Shijing said.

Di Renjie knew about the Dou family, not only about the Dou family, but also about the aristocratic family of the Tang Dynasty. His father was originally an official. It can be said that behind his father, there is also the shadow of the aristocratic family. Of course, it is not Dou Home.

In the early years of the Tang Dynasty, who of the officials in the Tang Dynasty had no background behind them?At that time, what was the safest way to find a background and a backer?The aristocratic family has five elements and seven outlooks, so in the early Tang Dynasty, the aristocratic family was a "serious confidant" that could not be offended by the royal family. Even now, isn't the aristocratic family's influence still there?The power is still there, and the influence is not small, otherwise Li Chengqian would not let Xuan Shijing get involved in this matter, and just let Dali Temple close the case. After the case is found out, no matter what the result is, the old Dou family Just accept it honestly.

However, the family's reputation, power, and influence, this case will not be settled so easily.

It is easy to find out the truth, but difficult to close the case properly.

Will Dou Shanglie be poisoned to death for no reason?This is impossible.

Whether it is Di Renjie who was just a fledgling, or Di Renjie who is now gradually getting started with the case, or Di Renjie in the future, he has his own firm belief in his heart, and it is this firm belief that makes Di Renjie successful. Therefore, Xuan Shijing is saying When talking about the Dou family and this case, Di Renjie also had a new goal in mind.
