The First Young Master of the Tang Dynasty

Chapter 2144 The clue may be in Chang'an

Di Renjie walked into the mansion's house, from the door to the courtyard where Xuan Shijing lived, three steps, one post, five steps, one post, there were people patrolling the courtyard with long knives all the time, after entering the courtyard, more It was because Chang Le personally led someone to guard the door of the room.

"Chang Le." Di Renjie greeted Chang Le.

"Master Di? Why are you here?" Chang Le asked.

"I came here to investigate the case at His Majesty's order," Di Renjie said.

"Check the case of the assassination of His Royal Highness King E and the father-in-law?" Chang Le said.

Di Renjie nodded: "That's right, I heard from the guard at the door that my teacher hasn't woken up yet?"

Chang Le sighed: "Yes, a lot of blood has been shed. The doctor said that he may wake up by noon tomorrow at the latest. If he can't wake up, it will be dangerous."

"Then how much do you know about the situation at that time?" Di Renjie asked.

Di Renjie chatted with Chang Le and asked questions, so there was no need to be shy, so Di Renjie asked Chang Le first.

Chang Le shook his head: "I don't know the specifics, because Gao Jun and I didn't follow the father-in-law that day. The father-in-law left Chang'an City with His Royal Highness King E, and there were only the two of them. Come on Zhuangzi, something happened halfway, maybe the person who sent the assassin just knew that there were only the two of them on the road, without weapons or followers, so they chose this time to attack, right?"

Di Renjie frowned upon hearing this.

"Then the government, did they catch someone alive?" Di Renjie asked.

"I caught them and locked them in the cell. A doctor was sent to treat them, but after they got to the cell, they all committed suicide. After the doctor opened their mouths, they found that they were hiding drugs in their mouths. After being arrested , and committed suicide by taking poison." Chang Le said.

"From this point of view, then this group of people must be dead soldiers raised by someone's family." Di Renjie said.

It is the most difficult to check this kind of people, because it is very difficult to find any clues from them.

"That's right, if it weren't for the dead soldiers raised, who would dare to chase Duke Qi and King E down to assassinate them? His Highness King E has already entered the government, and dared to attack the government." Chang Le said.

This time, trouble.

Di Renjie frowned.

Not a single assassin was left alive, who should I ask about this matter?
Wannian County is the place where the crime happened, and Di Renjie came to the place for the first time, which is also correct. But after arriving, he found that it was the place where the crime happened, but it could not bring him any clues to solve the case. Maybe, the clues Instead, in Chang'an.

Because Qi Guogong and His Royal Highness E Wang left Chang'an to be assassinated.

In other words, when the two of them left Chang'an, someone in Chang'an city was staring at them, knowing that they left alone, only two of them, without guards, so they felt that this was an opportunity to attack them.

Di Renjie suddenly woke up.

"Fan Cheng, hurry back to Chang'an City. From Chang'an City to Zhuangzi in Dongshan County, you must go through the gates in the east. Send people to these gates to inquire about the situation that day. In addition, especially The city gate closest to Daozhengfang, remember, don’t miss any clues, record them all, and send them to the official.”

"Yes!" Fan Cheng clapped his hands in response.

"Zhengqing, if you go back with Fan Cheng, I will trouble you with some news among the officials of Chang'an City," Di Renjie said.

"Yes, don't worry, my lord." Xu Zhengqing responded.

As for Di Renjie, he will stay here for a while. He wants to wait for Xuan Shijing to wake up. He needs to ask the person concerned about this matter.

As for the other party, His Majesty has taken him back to the palace to protect him, so he can't easily see him.

Jinyang is still in the room where Xuan Shijing is recuperating. Xuan Shijing changed the dressing and scrubbed herself. It has been more than half a day, and only the eyelids of Xuan Shijing moved, expressing that Seeing that he is still alive, he has never opened his eyes until now.

All the decoctions and gruel were fed by Jinyang spoon by spoon.

According to the doctor, Xuan Shijing's body has lost too much blood now, it is too weak, and it has also hurt its vitality. It needs to be replenished and nourished to be successful. This is not something that can be seen in a day or two. , it's better to be patient.

The door was knocked.

"Come in." Jin Yang said.

The door was pushed open by Chang Le, who stood at the door and said, "Your Highness, Lord Di is here."

"Well, let him come in." Jin Yang said.

As soon as he heard that Di Renjie was here, Jin Yang knew what Di Renjie was here for. He must have been sent by the emperor to investigate this case. A Duke of the State and a Prince. In such a case, apart from Di Renjie in the entire Tang Dynasty, there is no second case. It is more suitable for individuals to investigate this case.

Jin Yang was also relieved of Di Renjie's investigation.

"I have met Her Royal Highness Princess Jinyang." Di Renjie walked into the room and bowed his hands.

"Master Di doesn't need to be polite." Jin Yang said, "Master Di is here to investigate the case, right?"

"Yes, I also want to see my mentor's injury." Di Renjie said.

"My husband hasn't woken up yet." Jin Yang said: "Master Di will have to wait a while to talk to her husband. However, taking advantage of this time, Lord Di can go and find the county magistrate of Wannian County. Brother Huang has also ordered to come here, if the officials he appoints come here to investigate the case, the magistrate of Wannian County will definitely cooperate with his best."

"Yes, thank you, Your Highness." Di Renjie cupped his hands and said, "If that's the case, I will go to the county magistrate first and have a story."

When Di Renjie entered the room, he had a face-to-face meeting with Princess Jinyang, letting Princess Jinyang know that he was here to investigate the case, so that when Xuan Shijing woke up, he would be able to get the news as soon as possible.

Ever since Di Renjie realized that the clue was in Chang'an City, he felt that Wannian County might not be able to find out anything. Moreover, all the assassins caught by the county government had committed suicide by taking poison. The clue I got was that they must be dead men raised by a noble family in Chang'an City.

Anyone who can know the whereabouts of Xuan Shijing and Li Jue must be from Chang'an City.

Although it seems that the scope has been narrowed, it is not easy to actually investigate.

There are so many noble officials in Chang'an City, it is still a little difficult to find them.

The county magistrate is still in the government office. Although there are assassins in Wannian County, these assassins have nothing to do with the people. The magistrate of Wannian County has to continue to deal with the trivial matters at hand. When it comes to the common people, he dare not be careless.

"My lord, Master Di from Dali Temple has arrived."

An officer came in from outside the lobby to report.
