Recreating the prosperous Tang begins with summoning players

Chapter 440 Mysterious Murder Case
The imperial court issued an edict to hold the qiuwei in mid-November, which was postponed to winter.

The emperor issued a decree to appoint Tong Zhongshu Menxia Pingzhangshi, Minister of Rites Pei Mian as the chief examiner, and Minister of Rites Yan Zhenqing as the same examiner, and appointed a group of reviewers from courtiers who were good at literature.

This batch of examiners has arrived in Chang'an, preparing for this autumn contest.

Candidates will take the exam in the tribute courtyard of the Ministry of Rites.

This time the imperial examination was extraordinary. On the basis of the original Ministry of Rites examination, the emperor had to make a countermeasure against the candidates.

Moreover, the imperial court promised that as long as the policy is passed, the official position can be granted on the spot.

This is very rare in the imperial examinations of the Tang Dynasty. It must be known that the status of Jinshi in the Tang Dynasty is only a qualification to be an official.

The Ministry of Rites examination will be held in November, and the prelude will be held after the emperor returns to Chang'an in December. As soon as these news come out, all candidates are gearing up, waiting to perform well in this autumn.

When the news that Wang Wei was pardoned by the emperor spread to Chang'an City, the players once again gathered in the Longyou Guild Hall, and it was lively until midnight.

Shan Tao drank a few cups of Shazhou Burn brought over from Longyou, and walked towards his house in a dizzy state.

The consequence of drinking alcohol in the game is memory loss the next day, just like in the real world.

However, drinking alcohol in the game will not cause physical damage, and many players choose to drink freely in the game.

Shan Tao's house is near the gate of Anyi Fang. He bought this small house with his own savings. Although it is not big, it has surpassed many official officials in Chang'an.

We must know that living in Chang'an is not easy. If it hadn't been for the war, the housing price in Chang'an would be a figure that even low-level officials feel desperate.

Shan Tao walked towards his house in a daze, and when he reached the gate of Anyi Fang, he suddenly heard the rapid sound of a gong.

Now Shan Tao was already half sober from the wine, he raised his head and saw the gong ringing on the gate of the square, it was the unscrupulous person guarding the gate of Anyi Square warning.

Shan Tao quickly clenched his saber and walked towards the gate of Anyifang. Two unscrupulous men in light armor came up. When they saw Shan Tao, they immediately held their weapons and saluted:
"Single street patrol!"

Shan Tao is Jing Zhaoyin's street patrol envoy. His jurisdiction is three blocks including Anyifang, and his position is equal to that of the police chief of the three districts of Chang'an.

Seeing their boss, the two bad guys showed excited expressions.

Shan Tao knew these two subordinates, he asked, "Why did you sound the gong as a warning?"

One of the delinquents immediately said: "Street Patrol Envoy, my subordinate saw a black figure riding a horse galloping across the street, so my subordinate rang the gong."

Shan Tao frowned, Chang'an is going to enforce the curfew.

Although the curfew in some squares has existed in name only, the main road connecting each square city, that is, Suzaku Street and several side streets and vertical streets, still strictly enforces the curfew order.

Violating the curfew and running wildly on the side streets at night, if caught by the street patrol or Jinwu enforcing the curfew, it is a felony that will result in exile.

Even after chasing soldiers to warn, if they continue to flee, soldiers enforcing the curfew can shoot them directly.

Is it an official who performs a task?

Impossible, if it is an official who is performing a task, he has to walk on the side streets and vertical streets at night, and he must also wear official uniforms or the uniforms of government servants.

At the same time, the pass must be hung on the torch so that it will not be taken away by the street patrol or Jinwu enforcing the curfew.

For example, Shan Tao has a command flag issued by Jing Zhaoyin. He walks at night with the command flag so that he will not be shot and killed by soldiers performing tasks.

From the descriptions of these two bad people, they don't look like officials performing official duties.

Shan Tao frowned and said, "Which direction did that person go?"

"Go to Jinggongfang in the east."

"Go to the public office and bring the horse over here. This envoy will go after that guy himself!"

Shan Tao was still drunk, and just wanted to win, two subordinates pulled out three horses from the public stable in Anyifang, and Shan Tao stepped over the horses and headed directly towards Jinggongfang.

After chasing for a while, Shan Tao heard the sound of horseshoes ahead.

Sure enough, what the two bad guys said was right, there were really people running wildly on the side street at night.

Shan Tao waved his whip, speeded up again, and finally saw a black horse pacing not far from the gate of Jinggongfang.

If it wasn't for the quietness of the street and the lights on the gate of Jinggongfang, it would be really difficult to find this black horse in the dark.

Shan Tao stepped forward, held the black horse's rein with his hand, and touched the saddle with his hand, he could still feel the residual warmth on the saddle.

It seems that this guy who wandered into the side street at night has not gone far!
At this time, the two bad guys finally caught up.

The two quickly got off their horses and ran to Shan Tao's side.

"Street patrol!"

"Wen San, you lead the horse, Dong Qi, go to the gate of Jinggong Fang, and ask if you see any suspicious figures."

"As ordered!"

A delinquent named Wen San took the reins, and Shan Tao held a torch and began to observe the traces on the ground, looking for the whereabouts of the horse's owner.

And that bad guy named Dong Qi quickly called the bad guy guarding the gate of Jinggongfang over.

The unscrupulous people guarding Jinggong Square hurriedly saluted after seeing Shan Tao, and Shan Tao immediately asked:

"Have you ever seen a suspicious person pass by Jinggongfang?"

The two bad guys guarding Jinggongfang shook their heads quickly and said:
"Street patrol, the two of us brothers have never seen any suspicious person passing by."

Shan Tao frowned. This black horse was not cheap. The horse was tall and strong. It was a top-quality Uighur horse.

Such a horse was abandoned on the street, and the unscrupulous guards of Jinggongfang did not see any suspicious people.

Shan Tao looked at Jinggongfang not far away, and said to several of his subordinates: "Come on, let's go into the workshop and have a look."

A group of people entered Jinggongfang. Compared with Anyifang, Jinggongfang was more boxy, and there were many burning braziers in the workshop.

There are a large number of merchants from Persia in Jinggongfang. Now the Persians have been conquered by the black-clothed food. Some Persians who do not want to be ruled by the black-clothed food left their homeland, and some came to Chang'an City.

And these Persians gathered in Jinggong Square in Chang'an City, and every household of them would worship braziers in the yard, because these Persians believed in Zoroastrianism.

Zoroastrianism, also known as Zoroastrianism, is an ancient sect that worships flames.

Jinggongfang also has a Zoroastrian temple that occupies one-third of the size of the square. This is also the largest Zoroastrian temple in the Tang Dynasty, and it is a holy place in the hearts of Persians who believe in Zoroastrianism throughout the Tang Dynasty.

Datang is inclusive of these sects, as long as you do not violate the laws of Datang, the government will not interfere with these sects.

Even the upper echelons of these sects have some privileges in the eyes of the government, and they can cooperate when encountering things.

Shan Tao and his men patrolled around the wall of Jinggongfang, and suddenly Wen San shouted:
"Street Patrol! There's something over here!"

Shan Tao hurriedly rushed over with a torch, only to see a strange lump on the ground in a small alley near the wall of Jinggongfang.

Standing at the entrance of the alley, Shan Tao smelled a strong smell of blood. He was shocked and rushed into the alley with a torch.

When the fire covered the alley, Shan Tao finally saw clearly what was in front of him, which was——

A corpse!
Shan Tao hurried forward and lit the corpse with a torch.

The four of his subordinates rushed over, their faces were also pale.

Although they are bad people in charge of public security in the capital, they are equivalent to urban management and patrol police. Where have they seen such a thing.

What's more, the appearance of this corpse was so ferocious that it made the youngest Wen San feel nauseous.

Shan Tao immediately said: "Go to the alley and spit!"

Wen San immediately rushed to the entrance of the alley and vomited.

Shan Tao gasped, the deceased in front of him was probably a woman in her teens or 20s, wearing a red Tang suit with makeup on her face.

But at this time, the woman's appearance was very miserable, her clothes were about to be torn, and her abdomen was bloody.

Shan Tao lifted the bloody streamer covering the abdomen of the corpse with his hands, and a huge hole was exposed, only a piece of the abdomen of the corpse was missing!
Shan Tao had killed the enemy before, so he naturally understood that the missing part was the liver of the corpse!
Shan Tao gasped again, someone killed a woman and took her liver!
Murder!

At this time, the remaining three bad guys couldn't bear it anymore, and they rushed to the alley to vomit.

Even when An Lushan invaded Chang'an, all they could see were ordinary corpses.

This kind of disembowelled corpse would cause physical discomfort to any ordinary person looking at it.

Shan Tao stood up, this alley was a dead end, and the walls of the houses on both sides were also high, so it was not easy to climb.

Shan Tao sat on the ground, from the time he chased the murderer to the time he caught up with the black horse, the murderer only had half an hour to commit the crime.

Is it possible to sneak into Jinggongfang for half an hour, and then kill the dead and cut off the dead man's liver?
Shan Tao was completely sober, he quickly opened the chat software in the game, and asked his friends for help.

"Old Song, Song Ya, are you there?"

It's already this time, originally Shan Tao just tried to ask, but he didn't expect Song Ya to reply soon.

"Yes, what's wrong?"

Shan Tao immediately said: "Old Song, why are you still up, I have a case here!"

Song Ya replied: "You stayed up all night to dissect the corpse. You have a case over there? Aren't you in Chang'an?"

This Song Ya is a forensic doctor in Longyou, and now he is the chief assistant in the Criminal Division.

He and Shan Tao are friends who have known each other since they first entered the game. Both of them are vigorous and decisive people. Under Song Ya's guidance, Shan Tao briefly inspected the corpse.

When the inspection was completed, the sky was already dark, Shan Tao raised his head, and said with a heavy face, "Go to Jingzhao Mansion!"
